Gou is passive in high martial arts

Chapter 77
Chen An stroked the bronze medal in his hand, his eyes flickering.

Even no one around him knows that besides being the branch president of the Cao Gang, he is actually a member of a mysterious organization called "Tu Zheng Guan".

Or... a new member who finally passed the test not long ago.

Zhengguan, one of the "Ten Gods" in the fortune-telling game, represents the official destiny.

Among the five elements, those who use soil as the official are thick and straight, with clear laws and regulations.

That is to say, the so-called "local official" refers to the official on behalf of the official who patrols the sky, and the supervisor who uses the body as the law and the law to uphold the official.

Chen An vaguely knew that this organization had existed in Liang State for a long time, and it should have a strong connection with the imperial city. In the eyes of some high-ranking officials, it was even a distasteful existence.

But at the same time, the "land official" is independent of the imperial city, has its own set of operating logic, and can decide most of the affairs by itself.

However, its relatively large actions may often depend on the will of someone in the imperial city.

Among the "earth officials", there are almost no mortals.

Even practitioners, if they want to join, the conditions are very strict, because the confidentiality of the entire organization must be ensured, so the first consideration is character, followed by status and strength.

If the xinxing is not enough, then no matter how high the status is, no matter how strong the strength is, it will not be taken into consideration.

But to put it this way, if you don't have status and strength, you won't be noticed by the "land official"...

Chen An became the branch chairman of the Cao Gang about a year ago, and at the same time, because of a smuggling incident, he also captured an assassin who intended to assassinate the sheriff, and accidentally met a member of the "Tuzhengguan".

It is also the current immediate boss who introduced him to join the "Tuzhengguan".

Chen An got out of the carriage, and in front of him was a private residence, surrounded by restrictions. Anyone without a token on them would be directly judged as an enemy.

The token on his body represents a Class C member.

It is said that the "Zheng" character token is divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D. The simpler the token, the higher the status it represents.

There is only one piece of the highest-level Grade A token, which seems to be made of wood...

But that kind of big man is not something he can see.

There is no place to verify the truth of such rumors.

When Chen An entered the mansion, he saw shelves densely packed with documents and scrolls layer by layer, and even the light from the windows seemed a little dim.

In the mansion, it was unusually quiet, only a few members of the second class were in charge of sorting out and calling these documents, and sending the needed information to those who needed it by using the heaven and earth magic number array all over the mansion.

Chen An quickly found his boss.

Class B member Pei Xiu.

Pei Xiu was a middle-aged man, wearing a crumpled gray-green robe, his eyelids were always drooping and half-closed, and he looked listless and decadent. He was chatting with another female member.

From the perspective of others, the two of them only opened and closed their mouths, but they couldn't hear a sound.

In fact, it was affected by the ban.

In this mansion, after wearing the token, this effect can be produced with a single thought.

"If there is no accident, the person entrusted by the general should have arrived at Yedukou in the past few days, but our people have not waited for someone to come to meet..."

Pei Xiu scratched his hair and frowned: "The sword yesterday was confirmed to be from Xuanshen Daozi. Could it be related to this?"

The female member pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "The possibility is very small. The man has already escaped from the imperial city, and Shen Xingzhu has no reason to go against him."

"Secondly, if Shen Xingzhu really wants to do something, it shouldn't affect other people."

"Maybe, something else happened."

Pei Xiu scratched his head and bald: "Isn't that more troublesome?!"

"When King Na Jiqi finishes suppressing Yeman and returns with his troops, it will be even more difficult to leave Liang Kingdom..."

He frowns: "Oh, forget it, now we can only continue to wait... More people to search, especially near Dongting Lake, once there is news, let me know immediately."

The female member nodded: "Okay."

Chen An waited for them to finish chatting, watched the female member leave, and then stepped forward and said:

"Mr. Pei, I want to use the intelligence network of 'Tuzhengguan' to investigate a person."

Pei Xiu was upset and waved his hand casually:

"It's up to you. With your authority, don't say one person is missing. It's enough to check a bunch of people. You don't need to report to me."

Chen An whispered: "I understand, I just want to investigate more carefully."

His tone sounded wrong, and Pei Xiu raised his head: "Why, are you in trouble?"

Chen An nodded: "I have a big brother who has been missing for 13 years, you should know Mr. Pei."

"Just today, he came back suddenly."

"came back?"

Pei Xiu raised his eyebrows, and finally became interested. He thought that there would be no progress in a short period of time, and it was useless to think about it.

Then he asked Chen An for details.

Chen An truthfully said: "My elder brother is called Chen Kuang..."

He just said the first sentence when Pei Xiu straightened his back suddenly and interrupted him: "Wait, what's your elder brother's name?"

Chen An was taken aback: "Chen Kuang, Kuang is..."

"Needless to say."

Pei Xiu stared at him with a strange expression, until Chen An's scalp felt a little numb.

Then he coughed twice, pretending to ponder and said: "I know about this matter, I will investigate for you, you go home and wait for the news."

Chen An didn't think he would encounter any obstacles, but Pei Xiu offered to help with the investigation, which was a bit unbelievable.

According to his experience of getting to know Pei Xiu in the past year, this man is clearly a fish-fishing madman who can be as lazy as he can.

He couldn't help asking: "Mr. Pei, do you really want to investigate? Why don't you leave it to others..."

Seeing Chen An's doubtful expression, Pei Xiu twitched the corners of his mouth: "I said I would investigate, and I will certainly investigate. Do you believe me?"

Chen An quickly shook his head: "Don't dare."

He hesitated for a moment, but decided to trust the other party: "Then please hurry up, Mr. Pei, I'm in a hurry."

I am in a hurry than you!
Pei Xiu didn't say this, but changed the subject and said, "The education officer has arrived at the sheriff's mansion, what happened to the matter I asked you to investigate?"

Chen An said solemnly: "There are some signs."

"The county guard invited a third-rank cultivator a month ago. According to Fan Hailong's tone, it seems that he is preparing to restart the sacrifice to the Dragon King of the Lake!"

Pei Xiu's pupils constricted: "Restart the sacrifice? He wants human sacrifice?! How dare he, isn't he afraid of riots in Jishao County?!"

Chen An said in a low voice, "I don't know, but I can be sure that this governor of Jishao already had contact with Zhou Guo earlier."

Pei Xiu took a deep breath: "Investigate again! Report again! How brave is this county guard to dare to do it again... let alone in the case of Dongting losing the dragon."

He watched Chen An leave, his expression fluctuating.

"The second Chen Kuang? There is absolutely no such coincidence! I never thought that there would be nowhere to find it, and it would take no effort to get here."

Pei Xiu thought of Chen An and muttered to himself:
"This kid is really lucky..."

……

Chen Kuang followed the maid to the guest room, knocked on the door, then opened the door and entered, and put the food box in his hand on the table.

In the room, Shen Meinan was lying on the table playing with teacups, and Qingcuo was standing against the wall, silently.

Chu Wenruo is taking care of the unconscious little princess.

Hearing the movement, she turned her head and was taken aback.

Chen Kuang took out the food and said with a smile, "Come and taste my cooking?"
