Martial arts long journey

Chapter 393 Start the investigation

After wandering around the city of Laizhou Prefecture for a day, Zhou Yanfang did not return to the Yamen of the sub-rudder of Laizhou Prefecture until nightfall.

Tonight, Zhou Yan planned to settle down directly in the sub-rudder office of the Department of Punishment.

This does not mean that all members of the Iron Blood Guard of Zhongzhou must live in the government office, for example, the five criminals that Zhou Yan met during the day, they each lived in the houses they bought.

Even Hua Mingde, who was born in the Hua family in Laizhou Prefecture, went back to the Hua family's mansion to rest at night.

However, within the Zhongzhou Iron and Blood Guard, most of the high-level people in power almost all live in the government office of the Zhongzhou Iron and Blood Guard.

The reason for this situation may be that the founder of the Zhongzhou Iron and Blood Guard has always lived in the back hall of the Iron and Blood Guard's headquarters.

There is a saying that works from top to bottom, which has led to the fact that almost all the high-level powerhouses from various parts of the Zhongzhou Iron and Blood Guard live in their respective government offices.

Xing Qingge is like this, Murongxu is like this, and now Zhou Yan is also preparing to do the same.

When Zhou Yan followed a night watchman to the back hall of the government office, someone had already prepared all the daily necessities that Zhou Yan needed.

Since the prisoner who was in charge of guarding the Laizhou Prefecture died, all the power of the Laizhou Prefecture Judiciary Division has completely fallen into the hands of the five criminals, Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji.

But even so, after Zhou Yan took office in Laizhou, the five of them, Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji, had no intention of continuing to control the power of Laizhou, nor did they have the guts to do so.

After all, the five of them, Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji, were only planning to cover up the matter of the five of them withholding taxes, rather than trying to evade Zhou Yan's power.

How can Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji, the mere five criminals in the Gangqi realm, be able to do such a thing?
Even with the help of Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji, the five of them have the guts of a bear and a leopard, but the five of them dare not think about it in their minds. It's not that the five of them are impatient.

Therefore, when the five of Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji left the main hall of the government office, they hurriedly conveyed the identity of Zhou Yan, the new envoy in charge.

At the same time, Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji even ordered their subordinates not to be rude in any way, otherwise they would be severely punished.

The five of them, Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji, were also worried that they might have neglected Zhou Yan a little bit, which would make Zhou Yan feel annoyed towards the five of them.

Most importantly, the five of them, Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji, were afraid that they would attract Zhou Yan's attention, so they would be dealt with by Zhou Yan before they could completely cover up the matter of withholding taxes.

This made Zhou Yan directly see a situation of dedication and respect in the government office of Laizhou Prefecture, as if all the power of the Iron Blood Guard in Laizhou Prefecture had completely surrendered to him.

But even so, Zhou Yan never forgot the doubts that arose in his heart during the day.

So when the yamen servant who was leading the way for him was about to leave, Zhou Yan immediately beckoned him back: "Don't leave in a hurry, I have something to ask you!"

Hearing Zhou Yan's voice in his ears, the yamen servant felt a sense of joy in his heart.

If it was at any other time, a new adult came to the Laizhou government office, a small office servant like him who was in the fetal state would definitely take the opportunity to go up and flatter him.

However, when facing Zhou Yan, the new law envoy, he didn't dare to join Zhou Yan's side at all. How can a powerful giant at the top level of Wu Dao Tongxuan be able to do whatever he wants at the mere fetal breath level? near?

But now that Zhou Yan has stopped him, he will not miss this rare opportunity. The yamen servant hurriedly turned around, cupped his fists and bowed in salute: "Your Excellency, if you have anything to ask, just ask." , the subordinates must know everything and say everything!"

"Don't be too polite!"

After Zhou Yan waved his hands and exhaled a gentle force to lift the servant up, he said calmly, "What I'm asking is not a big deal, just explain to me about the five criminals in the Laizhou government office. Officials, their respective origins and details, and the relationship between the five of them!"

That yamen servant was also a person with a clear mind. After hearing Zhou Yan's inquiry, he immediately understood what Zhou Yan was thinking about the five criminals, Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji.

This made the yamen servant's heart tremble immediately. Although this was not a secret problem, he did not dare to be negligent in the slightest when it came to Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji and the other five criminals.

"My lord, please forgive me for being rude!"

The yamen servant first bowed his hands to Zhou Yan, and then he quickly got up and walked to the door, and closed the door firmly.

Immediately afterwards, he walked back to Zhou Yan, lowered his voice and introduced to Zhou Yan: "So that my lord will know that the five criminal officials you are asking about are all within the boundaries of our Laizhou prefecture. native.

Among them, Mr. Hua Mingde is considered to be the oldest existence. As early as when the Laizhou government office was established, Mr. Hua Mingde joined the Department of Punishment.

Moreover, Lord Hua Mingde's background is not simple, he comes from the Hua family, the largest martial arts family in our Laizhou Prefecture.

Fan Liangji, Lu Fang, Xue Liang, and Gao Wensong, the four lords, came from ordinary backgrounds, either they belonged to a small family with unimaginable strength, or they were just ordinary merchants.

The four adults were selected into the Iron Blood Guards because of their talents, and finally they were promoted step by step to the position of executioner.

Among the four adults, Master Fan Liangji's martial arts talent is the most outstanding. His cultivation is now at the pinnacle of the Gang Qi realm, and he is only on par with Master Hua Mingde.

As for the relationship between the five criminal officials, this subordinate is not very clear about it.

However, what the subordinates can be sure of is that the relationship between Master Hua Mingde and Master Fan Liangji is definitely not that good.

When Mr. Prosecution Officer was sitting in Laizhou Mansion, Mr. Hua Mingde and Mr. Fan Liangji had many conflicts because of their disagreements.

If it hadn't been for the suppression by the criminal officer, Lord Hua Mingde and Lord Fan Liangji would almost have fought several times. "

Hearing what the yamen servant said in his ears, Zhou Yan couldn't help but gradually wrinkled up.

Judging from the situation during the day, Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji obviously reached a consensus secretly, and finally stood on the same camp.

As a result, after listening to the yamen servant in front of him, the relationship between Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji was not good before, and even Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji had conflicts before.

However, now that the five of them are united together, there is no special relationship among the important matters, Zhou Yan will never believe it.

As for the reason, Zhou Yan needs to investigate in detail. Zhou Yan waved his hand lightly, and said to the yamen servant, "I understand, you go down first!"
