I was just solving crimes, how could I become an immortal?

Chapter 130 The mouth is for eating!
  The sudden death of the Privy Councilor had a huge impact.

Originally, these spy organizations were walking on the edge between light and darkness.

At this moment, the group is leaderless, and many of the forces secretly supporting it are starting to make moves, and there is a faint tendency to lose control.

It is said that Pang Shi went to the ghost market last night and did not come out all day today. He must have been trying hard to suppress the noisy guys.

Fortunately, before he was assassinated, the leader left a transfer order and recommended the deputy leader to take over.

This allowed the Privy Council to reorganize in a very short period of time, and all of them were mobilized the next day to pull back the hidden thread that was gradually falling apart, and managed to barely stabilize the situation.

However, the turmoil on all sides cannot stop.

First of all, the Sanfa Division still compromised with Cao An.

Because Cao An really combined the two cases into one and could arrest him at any time, it was meaningless to continue to detain Liang Qifeng, the chief prosecutor.

So in the afternoon, Liang Qifeng was sent back.

When he returned home again, the horse-faced Tisi thanked everyone emotionally with a ferocious smile. Little did he know that Zhu Xian had already prepared a bedding and almost sent it to him for the New Year.

Of course, this release is just an expression of sincerity.

Just like Cao An said, you have to pay the compensation for the merits and demerits of Emperor Wanjing yesterday.

As a result, the six-door detective in blue who sent Liang Qifeng back became the person in charge of the negotiations.

But what a coincidence, the person who came was none other than Qiao Yundong, the one who had been shouting that Cao An was kind to him.

Cao An still doesn't know what the specific favor is.

But this kind of kindness is still very useful.

After rejecting the other agents six doors down, Qiao Yundong faced the entire Tsing Yi Department by himself. He was obviously at a disadvantage. The subordinates outside the room were all worried about him.

But this one has no psychological burden at all.

As soon as they met, he made his attitude clear and put a letter in his arms on the table: "These are the conditions, see for yourself."

Let people see the negotiation conditions for themselves? This one is really weird.

Opening the letter, you can see a few lines of words.

[Try to send jewelry as much as possible. They won’t be able to tell anyway. Just get some defective goods and send them over. It will cost one hundred and eighty taels. 】

"What do you mean? That we are uneducated?" Zhu Xian clapped his hands, feeling outrageous.

With such a straightforward tone, come to negotiate with them? It's just too much of a lie.

Keep watching.

[The highest condition is 8000 taels, as low as possible. 】

Everyone:? ? ?
  Look at the letter, then look at Qiao Yundong, this tone! This plan!

"Did you directly show us the letter of instructions given to you by Lord Shangshu?"

"Yes."

hiss~~
  This is the first time for everyone to see such an upright negotiator.

8000 taels of silver!

This is not a small amount, even the senior officials of the Three Laws Department would feel pain when taking it out.

What's more important is that these 8000 taels can't buy any results at all, let alone get any benefits.

All it takes is Cao An's promise: Don't deliberately make things difficult for them.

But Cao An didn't want to make things difficult for them at all, he just wanted to scare them.

He has a detective system. If he judges the wrong case, the reward will be gone. He will not care about one thing and lose the other.

Everyone kept winking at Cao An, "8000 taels!" This price is absolutely sincere, so just accept it!

Cao An was also ready to accept it, but he still wanted to ask one more question: "Captain Qiao, you think we just want 8000 taels, what do you think?"

"Not very good." Qiao Yundong told the truth and shook his head.

"Why is it bad?"

"Because it's too little. Lord Shangshu is so rich! You can just round it up and ask for ten thousand taels. He will definitely agree with his teeth."

"..."

It's so narrow-minded. It's so narrow-minded.

The upper limit in your mouth is not the same as the upper limit in your heart. This good subordinate knows his boss better! One bite can hit a major artery.

Cao An couldn't help it anymore and asked aloud: "How can they trust you to come?"

Qiao Yundong shrugged: "Because they know that anyone who comes will be aggrieved, so no one is willing to take on this task, so I will come here as a way to continue your favor."

Speaking of this, Cao An was also surprised: "What kind of kindness do I have to you? Are you always helping me?"

From helping to investigate the corpse flower before, to reminding Cao An to leave Beijing, and now directly helping him cheat his boss.

This favor keeps being returned, as if it's not over yet. Is it a life-saving favor? I don’t think I’ve saved you either, right?

Qiao Yundong shook his head and did not answer directly: "I think I will tell you when it is finished. Now give me a decision. Do you want 100 taels or 1 taels?"

"Of course it's 1 taels."

"Okay!" This person didn't waste any words. He put the letter back into his arms, then opened the door and roared: "This is totally unreasonable!" After saying that, he slammed the door and left. The subordinates at the door saw it and rushed to comfort them. , that angry look is just like the real thing.

"What a good man!" Everyone in the Tsing Yi Department stood in a row at the door, sighing and watching this comrade leave.

Turning around, I found a carriage stopped at the door. A woman got out of the carriage, wearing a white gauze hat, light clothes and graceful figure.

"This woman's appearance is absolutely stunning." Zhu Xian just glanced at her figure and already made a conclusion. She is indeed a seasoned expert with a very vicious vision.

Upon hearing this, all the men in the Tsing Yi Department turned their heads and looked at the woman in unison.

This posture made the woman who had just got off the carriage tremble. She wanted to enter, but she felt like she was entering a wolf's den.

It took a long time to muster up the courage, step forward, and perform a thousand blessings, and the clear sound was like pearls falling on a jade plate.

"My little lady has met Mr. Cao and all of you adults."

"Mr. Cao?" Everyone turned their suspicious eyes to Cao An. Do you know this little girl?

Cao An gave a dry smile: "Don't call yourself a little girl. It makes my kidneys hurt. Come in."

Although he couldn't see the face under the white sand, Cao An knew who it was just by listening to the voice and the strange "sir" title.

In Shangjiang City, Cao An is mostly called Cao Shuixiu or Master Cao. In the future, he may be called Prime Minister Cao, but for the time being, there is only one person who calls Mr. Cao this way, and that is Mubai Huakui.

This person has always firmly believed in his character and felt that he was one of the rare people with noble moral character in the officialdom, so he was called Mr. to show his respect.

The Tsing Yi Department naturally welcomed the arrival of Mu Bai Oiran.

In addition to being eye-catching, because the two sides reached a cooperation, the demon clan represented by Mu Bai officially worked for Red Fox.

But as soon as this man came in and took off his white sand hat, a hint of resentment appeared on his face. He looked at Cao An and said timidly: "Mr. Cao, you really made me suffer."

This appearance made Zhu Xian beside him suddenly burst into anger: "Cao An, this is your fault. It's okay if you don't pay me when you go to the Jiaofang Division. You still make others suffer. I've already told you that words are used." Come to eat!”

Cao An:? ? ?
  I didn’t feed her anything else either!
  Cao An quickly asked, "When did I make you suffer?"

"It wasn't you who exposed my hidden secrets in the Privy Council, and now he's come back, crying and complaining that you've done him a lot of harm."

"Expose your hidden clues? I don't have any!"

Cao An did use foreign spies as an excuse to scold the Privy Council, but Cao An himself didn't know who the spy was, so how could he expose it?
  Mu Bai rolled his eyes at Cao An with a charming look: "Mr. Cao doesn't know that your words have made the secret agents in the Privy Council go crazy. How can I hide my people?"

Everyone was holding their breath after being called useless by Cao An.

The Iron Mask even threatened to find out the hidden thread among them.

Out of humanity, the foreign secret agent at least helped them guard the library, so they would never kill anyone. They would just find them, beat them up, and then send them away in a friendly manner.

Looking at those people who had been injected with chicken blood, they didn't dare to wait for the hidden line, so they ran back to Mu Bai and cried.

"Tsk, tsk, these days, the psychological quality of being a secret agent is so poor." Cao An complained and turned his head to the side, obviously not wanting to take responsibility.

Of course, it was just a small hidden clue, and Mu Bai wouldn't take it seriously. She came here mainly to reach a formal service agreement.

I really didn't like it before, but fortunately now that Cao An is the military advisor, the Red Fox Queen can see it more or less, so she naturally made her first investment.

Look at Red Fox's proud energy, as if he is about to ascend to the throne, but you are still far away.

"As for the Amu demon merchant that Lord Red Fox is looking for, we have already contacted him, and I believe he will be here soon."

"Oh? So simple?"

"Of course, he is a businessman. If I tell him that there is a big deal, he will naturally come over, but..."

Mu Bai's voice gradually lowered and he looked at Cao An.

She knew something about that person's situation, but that holy land probably didn't exist at all.

Cao An naturally understood what she meant, shook his head and told her not to say anything, otherwise she would not give up if Red Fox saw it with his own eyes.

Mu Bai nodded and continued: "As for the situation of the black ring, we have also asked some questions. That thing does not seem to be a human thing."

"What do you mean?"

"That is a thing from the ghost world. The Taoist sect used a special secret method to attract it."

Emperor Wanhe only reigned for 20 years. Among warriors, this lifespan was regarded as a model of sudden death. As an emperor, his way of death was obviously not right.

According to the records left in those years, Emperor Wan Jing received the support of the Taoist sect and forced Emperor Wan He to abdicate.

From the current point of view, the effect of the black ring is soul-eating.

But what the ring swallowed was not only the human soul, but also the dragon soul, the legendary dragon vein, which was also taken away.

It is precisely because of this power that the Immortal Golden Arowana was created.

The information Mu Bai got could only be regarded as an analysis combined with unofficial history, because only Emperor Wan Jing knew the specific effects of this ring.

Of course, you can go to Taoism, but others will definitely ignore you.

However, before he figured out how to use this thing, Cao An would definitely not dare to use it, and it was more important to ensure his life.

As for the last bit of news…

"Mr. Cao, you asked me to check for the [Ten Eyes] mark for you. Currently, I only know of one person who has it."

"Who?"

"Huazhi."
