Chapter 93

On the morning of September 2nd, Dr. Huang changed the dressing for Zhang Mingze, who was lying on the bed, and then performed acupuncture once.

"How is it?"

Yu Hu, who had been guarding on the sidelines, asked.

Dr. Huang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "He has already passed the most dangerous period. Afterwards, he only needs to recuperate well, and there will be no more danger to his life, it's just..."

"Just what? Speak freely."

Yu Hu said.

Dr. Huang glanced at Zhang Mingze, who was in a coma on the hospital bed, and said softly:

"The kind of Innate One Qi that injured the advisor is too vicious. Even if the advisor has saved his life, the implants in his body have already suffered serious damage. Even if the injury is healed, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to recover his cultivation in the future."

"In other words, his martial arts are completely lost?"

Yu Hu asked expressionlessly.

Dr. Huang nodded: "Yes."

The implants in the Body Breaking stage had already replaced a part of the human body's tissues, so if the implants suffered heavy damage, it was equivalent to the human body itself suffering heavy damage. And the damage caused by the Blood Fiend Qi to Zhang Mingze was irreversible, which led to the fact that even if he wanted to change to a new implant and start cultivating from scratch, it wouldn't work.

This meant his martial arts were completely lost!

"Understood, thank you for your hard work, go and rest first."

Yu Hu said to Dr. Huang.

Dr. Huang bowed and then withdrew.

Yu Hu looked at Zhang Mingze, who was in a coma on the hospital bed, his gaze deep.

No one knew that when he heard Dr. Huang say that Zhang Mingze would lose his martial arts in the future, his first reaction deep in his heart was joy!

Having worked together for many years, he knew very well how useful Zhang Mingze's brain was. The other party was absolutely a genius at playing with power and schemes!

And such a person actually had quite good talent for martial arts cultivation.

This made Yu Hu have to be wary.

What if one day, Zhang Mingze's strength caught up to his own, would the other party still be willing to be under someone else, just being an advisor?

Could he still control a person with a super useful brain and not bad combat power?

So when Yu Hu heard Dr. Huang say that Zhang Mingze would lose his martial arts in the future, he felt relieved instead, feeling some joy.

An advisor who has lost his martial arts can only be an advisor in the future, and assist him well.

Yu Hu guarded quietly by Zhang Mingze's bedside. More than an hour later, Zhang Mingze woke up and slowly opened his eyes.

"Mingze, awake? How do you feel?"

Yu Hu asked with concern.

"It's okay, what did Dr. Huang say?"

Zhang Mingze asked.

Yu Hu: "Dr. Huang said you have already passed the dangerous period, and you only need to recuperate well next."

Zhang Mingze looked at Yu Hu: "Then we can't wait any longer, let the Inspection Academy side move."

Yu Hu frowned: "But your body now..."

Zhang Mingze shook his head: "I can also recuperate in the Inspection Academy."

"Good, I will let Wu Yihua take care of it carefully."

After speaking, Yu Hu stood up and left the room.

A few minutes later, five boxcars drove out of the Inspection Academy, driving towards the Yu Mansion all the way.

The five boxcars of the Inspection Academy arrived outside the main gate of the Yu Mansion, and then Qian Hengjun, the captain of the Third Brigade, got out of the car and personally led people into the Yu Mansion.

This was the first time in so many years that a captain of the Inspection Academy had led people into the Yu Mansion!

There were many eyes watching the Yu Mansion, and the news spread quickly.

A few minutes later, Qian Hengjun led people out of the Yu Mansion gate, and the inspectors behind him surrounded several Tiger Blade Gang members.

These Tiger Blade Gang members were carrying a stretcher, and on the stretcher was the Tiger Blade Gang advisor Zhang Mingze.

These fully armed inspectors had their guns pointed outward, looking not like they were arresting Zhang Mingze and others, but rather like they were protecting them.

Soon, the stretcher with Zhang Mingze was sent onto a boxcar of the Inspection Academy, and then all the Inspection Academy cars drove away.

Just less than five minutes after the Inspection Academy cars left, another five deep black "Pegasus" brand cars drove to the entrance of the Yu Mansion.

This time, a group of people wearing deep black uniforms, wearing round hats, and having red epaulets on their left shoulders got out of the cars.

These were people from the Supervisory Academy!

The leader was Cheng Bi, a fourth-level supervisory official who had developed Li Fei into a secret inspector.

He stood solemnly outside the main gate of the Yu Mansion, looked up at the two big characters "Yu Mansion," and then waved his hand:

"Enter!"

But this time they were stopped:

"Sorry, this is a private residence, entry is prohibited!"

Two burly martial artists exuding a cold aura, like two fierce tigers, stood in front of the main gate of the Yu Mansion, blocking Cheng Bi and others who were preparing to enter.

Cheng Bi took a step forward, looking at these two martial artists with fierce momentum without any fear, and took out a dark red token from his bosom:

"Supervisory Academy handling a case, this is a search warrant! Get out of the way!"

The two martial artists remained motionless.

A flash of killing intent flickered in Cheng Bi's eyes, and he said sternly:

"Are you trying to rebel?!"

As his voice fell, the inspectors behind him pulled out pistols from their waists one after another and aimed them at these two martial artists!

Just at this moment of tension, a heavy sound of footsteps sounded.

Da!

Da!

Da!

This sound was like a heavy drum, each strike hitting Cheng Bi and the others' hearts heavily, making them feel their chests getting tighter and tighter, almost vomiting blood.

"Hmph—"

Cheng Bi snorted coldly, and a sharp momentum erupted from his body, making the two martial artists who had been guarding the door expressionlessly change their expressions, subconsciously retreating and assuming a defensive posture.

"Eh? The Supervisory Academy still has an expert like you?"

The person finally walked to the main gate; it was a man with long hair carrying two battle axes.

"Yang Xuan?"

Cheng Bi recognized this person; he was a Qi-Changing Martial Master of the Tiger Blade Gang, a famous expert in the Xingcheng Jianghu.

The one who went to the Qingyuan Fist Stronghold to ask the Big Leader for someone before was also this one.

Yang Xuan looked at Cheng Bi: "My gang leader said, if you are here to take Advisor Zhang away, then you can go back, you are late."

Cheng Bi was startled: "How, could it be that Zhang Mingze fled in fear of crime?"

Yang Xuan looked at him with the eyes of looking at a fool: "The Inspection Academy has already taken Advisor Zhang away. If you want the person, go to the Inspection Academy to grab him."

"Inspection Academy?"

Cheng Bi's expression changed, and then a subordinate quickly ran to his side and whispered a few words to him.

After listening, Cheng Bi's expression suddenly became ugly. He looked at the inside of the Yu Mansion gate extremely unwillingly, then turned and walked away quickly:

"Go!"

The Supervisory Academy went to the Inspection Academy on the night of August 31st to ask for the person, demanding to take away the involved Jiang Minsen, but they were dragged by the Inspection Academy side with various reasons until today.

After taking Jiang Minsen back to the Supervisory Academy, Cheng Bi and others immediately rushed to the Yu Mansion at the fastest speed to prepare to take Zhang Mingze away, but they were still one step late.

They didn't expect that Zhang Mingze would actually take the initiative to let the Inspection Academy take him away.

Cheng Bi led the people from the Supervisory Academy to the Inspection Academy at the fastest speed, then took out the arrest warrant that had been prepared, demanding to take away the involved Zhang Mingze.

"Sorry, Officer Cheng."

Qian Hengjun, the captain of the Third Brigade of the Inspection Academy who went to the Yu Mansion to "catch" Zhang Mingze back, came forward to connect with Cheng Bi. He also handed the other party an arrest warrant:

"Zhang Mingze is suspected of several criminal cases and currently needs to accept investigation in our Inspection Academy. We cannot give the person to you."

Cheng Bi finally couldn't help but erupt:

"Open your eyes and see clearly! This has the seal of the Chief's Office on it. Letting the Supervisory Academy arrest Zhang Mingze is the Chief's order!"

"This is the Inspection Academy, I only obey the orders given to me by the Inspection Chief."

Qian Hengjun looked directly at Cheng Bi and said calmly.

Li Fei had a judgment in his heart.

"Do you know that just because of this sentence, I can convict you of dereliction of duty, disobedience to orders, and contempt for superiors?!"

Qian Hengjun's expression remained unchanged, still looking at Cheng Bi with calm eyes:

"My name is Qian Hengjun, captain of the Third Brigade of the Inspection Academy, I am waiting for you to come and arrest me."

"Arrest him!"

The inspectors following Cheng Bi couldn't bear it anymore. They possessed the power to supervise all officials. On weekdays, they were long used to other officials being polite and submissive to them. When had they ever been looked down upon like this?

So several inspectors were about to step forward to arrest Qian Hengjun.

"Who the fuck dares to move?!"

Outside the room, the inspectors who heard the movement rushed in one after another, aiming their Tiger-style rifles at Cheng Bi and others.

This is the Inspection Academy.

In terms of people, the Inspection Academy has more.

In terms of guns, the Inspection Academy also has more.

"Go!"

Cheng Bi issued the order to withdraw for the second time today.

The Supervisory Academy, which had always been feared, hit a wall twice today, and each time was more embarrassed and more frustrated than the last!

This "battle of wits" between the two sides soon spread throughout Xingcheng, and everyone knew that the Tiger Blade Gang's Advisor Zhang had been taken away for investigation.

However, Advisor Zhang was taken away by people from the Inspection Academy, and the Inspection Academy was now held by the Tiger Blade Gang. Advisor Zhang entering the Inspection Academy was no different from going home.

"Three doctors guarding in turns 24 hours a day, supplied with the best food supplements, and people massaging the body, serving tea and water. A prisoner's treatment is better than mine, a captain. It's truly fucking absurd!"

In the living room, Li Lei rarely used profanity in front of Li Fei.

Because Li Fei asked him about the follow-up situation of the Green-Faced Ghost incident, he told Li Fei about Zhang Mingze being locked in the Inspection Academy, and then couldn't help but start scolding:

"It was fine when Inspection Chief Huang was in office before. Inspection Chief Huang was a neutralist, didn't favor either side, and the rules he set were strict, so the atmosphere in the academy was fine, and no one dared to mess around. But now that Wu Yihua has come to power, he's almost kneeling and licking the Tiger Blade Gang, fuck!"

Li Lei became more angry the more he thought about it.

Li Fei opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

He originally wanted to say that it was precisely because Inspection Chief Huang was a neutralist that he was retired early as soon as something happened, because there was no one to support him from above.

But saying such things would only make Li Lei feel more blocked, so Li Fei chose to remain silent.

"Alright, why are you so angry? Just do your own thing well."

Zhang Yuqing walked into the living room with a cup of tea and handed it to Li Lei.

Li Lei took the teacup and said unpleasantly:

"What do you know? If this continues, my First Brigade Captain position will also become an accomplice to the Tiger Blade Gang in the future. What's the point of that? Might as well quit!"

Zhang Yuqing looked at Li Lei calmly: "Fine, fine, fine, I'm just a woman who doesn't know anything, you two chat slowly."

After speaking, she turned and left the living room.

"Eh..."

Li Lei opened his mouth looking at Zhang Yuqing's departing back, thinking it was over.

If he didn't coax her well tonight, he wouldn't even be able to get into bed.

Li Fei was holding back laughter on the side and stated his main purpose for today:

"Li Shu, I want to look at some past archives of the Inspection Academy."

Li Lei was startled: "Why do you want to look at this?"

Li Fei explained: "The monthly exams of the Lecture Hall in the future will basically be related to the actions of the Inspection Academy. I want to see more various criminal records and the process of solving cases, to have more understanding, which will help the performance in future monthly exams."

"Hmm, indeed, your consideration is correct."

Li Lei nodded, "Like this, I will bring you some copies of the archives tomorrow."

"Thank you, Li Shu."

"This child, what are you thanking for."

September 5th.

The heavy rain that had lasted for several days finally stopped, and the weather in Xingcheng began to clear up.

At night, the streets of Qingyuan District were crowded with people.

The major searches of the past few days made the streets of Qingyuan District full of inspectors, causing many entertainment venues to have to close temporarily.

Now that the Green-Faced Ghost had been caught, the joint search operation of the three academies—the Inspection Academy, the Stop-Goe Academy, and the Court of Justice—also stopped. The guests who had been holding back for several days couldn't help but run out, making Qingyuan District lively again.

Besides the Qingyuan Fist Stronghold, Qingyuan District also had a very famous place—the Opium Den.

But opium was something strictly prohibited by the imperial court, so opium dens couldn't be opened openly like gambling dens and brothels, and could only be opened in secret.

A rickshaw sped through a dimly lit alley. The rickshaw puller ran fast with his legs, and a guest wrapped tightly sat on the rickshaw. Outside the rickshaw, there was a burly man with a big knife in his hand running along.

Soon, the rickshaw stopped outside a courtyard gate.

"My lord, we've arrived."

The rickshaw puller stopped the rickshaw and turned to say.

"How many times have I told you, don't call me my lord outside!"

The man wrapped tightly on the rickshaw scolded in a low voice.

"Yes."

The rickshaw puller stood aside with his head down.

The man took the guard with the knife and walked into the courtyard gate together, and was soon led through this small courtyard, entered another dark alley from the back door, and then entered another courtyard.

There were many separate rooms in this courtyard, filled with smoke, and people were smoking opium inside.

The man walked all the way into a study, only then did he take off the cloth wrapped around his head and take off the coat on his body.

His name is Shi Chen, a fourth-level judge of the Court of Justice, and also the behind-the-scenes boss of this secret opium den.

This secret opium den was opened with the support of the Tiger Blade Gang, and every year it transported huge profits to the Tiger Blade Gang!

"My lord."

The person in charge of the opium den on the surface knelt directly to Shi Chen, terrified:

"This incident happened suddenly, and it happened to coincide with the joint action of the three academies, which is why we were run into."

Shi Chen looked at him with a gloomy expression:

"What exactly is going on?"

So the person in charge said what happened a few days ago:

A wealthy merchant came here to smoke opium and also brought two prostitutes from a brothel.

This kind of thing was originally nothing, but unexpectedly, this wealthy merchant got high on opium and actually played the two women to death!

Brothels in the Great Lan Dynasty were legal, and all prostitutes would be recorded in the Inspection Academy and managed uniformly. Suddenly two people died, which was not a small matter.

However, similar things had happened in this opium den before, and they were all suppressed in time. It just happened that this time coincided with the joint action of the three academies.

The people of the opium den were run into by inspectors searching everywhere while burying the bodies, so this matter could no longer be hidden.

"Now those two guys who handled the bodies are locked in the prison of the Inspection Academy. Although they are guys who have followed for many years, after all, it involves a murder case. Who knows when they will open their mouths? At that time, this opium den..."

The person in charge knelt on the ground, looking at Shi Chen terrified.

Shi Chen's expression was gloomy:

"Have someone go to the Inspection Academy to pass a message to those two guys, first admit to this matter, saying it was manslaughter. After the Inspection Academy transfers them to the Court of Justice, I will take over this case and handle it lightly. Afterwards, give them an opportunity to make up for their crimes in the prison, and they can be released in a year or two at most."

"Yes, thanks to you, my lord."

"Let that wealthy merchant pay for the money needed for this!"

"I understand, this time I will definitely knock that person hard!"

Shi Chen nodded and intended to give two more instructions, but a commotion suddenly came from outside the room.

"What's going on?"

Shi Chen frowned and asked.

Pa—

The room door was pushed open, and the guard who came with Shi Chen said with a panicked expression:

"My lord, it's bad, the Green-Faced Ghost has killed his way in!"
