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

Chapter 72 Beware of King An
  Her skin is like cream, and her eyes are like stars.

Even if she only wears plain clothes, she looks as elegant as icebergs and snow lotuses sitting here with her stunning appearance.

If they weren't an insider, who would have thought that Mu Bai was actually the oiran of the Jiaofang Division?
  At this moment, there was a hint of resentment in every conversation and laughter, which made Cao An unable to control himself. Fortunately, it was the bombshell news in Mu Bai's words that made Cao An calm down despite being surprised.

"Master Cao, you should know that the Demon Slayer Division has never been able to get on the stage. It is probably because his background is too mixed and he has gathered a large number of people from three religions and nine schools."

"A good man doesn't care about his origins. Dealing with monsters does require some extraordinary means."

"That's true, but many of these people are from the ghost market. There were originally four heads of the gang: loyalty, filial piety, justice. But now there are three. Your Excellency, you should understand what I mean."

Loyalty, filial piety and justice?

Cao An remembered that the third leader of the black slaves was Ding Yi. Could it be that Ding Jie was once a master of the black slaves? Did you join the Demon Slayer Division for some purpose?
  No wonder, I'm afraid it was precisely because the Qiwen Tower set up by the Feng family had a conflict of interest with the gangsters in the ghost market that the bastard refused to save him.

"Actually, this little demon was bought by the black slaves from the slave family at a huge price."

"What? Is that your clone?"

"I hate it, how could Mr. Cao talk about the slave family like that? The slave family has not been pollinated yet, so how can we give birth to children?" Mu Bai gently covered his cheeks, looking quite shy.

But what about your blushing teapot? There is nothing to be ashamed of as an oiran who hangs out in Jiaofangsi.

And pollinate and give birth to children? This world of fairies is indeed a bit weird.

"So, you sold the two little demons to him just to take revenge on the Feng family?"

"The slave family didn't ask about the specific purpose, but the working style of black slaves generally doesn't have too many mistakes. Only a kind-hearted person like Mr. would care about the lives of innocent people."

Mu Bai still thought he was a good person, but Cao An didn't think much about it at all. He just felt that there was a poisoning case in front of him and he wanted to bring the criminal to justice.

Looking back now, even though Minister Feng was a filial son, he could not cover up the shady money the Feng family made in the ghost market.

The fight between Ding Jie and the Feng family was just a gang fight. The only innocent people in this case were the maids and servants.

"What about you guys? You put on so many dramas in front of me and forced me to thoroughly investigate the Nanshan tragedy. Is it for the sake of what you call: 'Tao'?"

When Mu Bai heard this, he stood up nervously and quickly explained: "We have no intention of being your enemy, but this case is very involved. Behind the six doors are three law divisions. We have no way to file a complaint, so we can only make this decision." .”

The highest judicial authority in the Daxing Dynasty was the Three Laws Division, even though Mu Bai informed Dean Wan of the situation south of Nanshan and reported it to the court through other means.

In the end, an investigation by the three judicial departments must be arranged, and the risk of being covered up cannot be avoided.

Only the Tsing Yi Department is independent of the three provinces and six ministries. Compared with the Demon Slaying Department whose position is unclear, and the Imperial City Department which cannot be hired, they are much more reliable.

Taking the person decisively and directly like Cao An is the best choice.

"But even so, you are still trying to induce me to handle the case. If my guess is correct, your ultimate goal is to use my Tsing Yi Department to block the gun, right?"

At first, Cao An just felt a little lucky that the case was solved so smoothly.

It was not until later that Xiaojiu suddenly told him that the hall had turned dark and that he was not far from death. Cao An suddenly realized that everything happened to be weird, so he decided to go to Nanshan again.

It is his job to solve crimes, but he will never serve as a gunman for others. Expelling Mu Bai and others from the academy is a warning.

Mu Bai also knew that there was something wrong with what he did, so he asked for a blessing again and said apologetically: "Please forgive me, sir. We really can't fight with you, so we thought of asking the Tsing Yi Department to come forward?"

"Oh? Do you think my Tsing Yi Department can compete with the mastermind behind the scenes?"

"That's natural. If General Ying hadn't been obsessed with finding the mountain outside the mountain, how many people here would have dared to compete with him. If the general is willing to help us deal with the unscrupulous people, we will definitely do our best to help."

Mu Bai made the offer, but Cao An was noncommittal. He picked up the fragrant tea in front of him with three fingers and took a sip.

Is this weighing the pros and cons?
  No, Cao An didn't understand what this woman was saying at all.

From the sound of it, it sounds like their Tsing Yi Department is pretty awesome? But there are just a few monks and reckless men coming and going, so what’s so great about them?

Moreover, where is this mountain outside the mountain?
  I only heard Sanyang say, what is Master Shuzheng looking for [Blackwater Yaochi], is it the same place?
  Last time, Qiwenlou gave them a clue. After it was handed over to Shu Zheng, Shu Zheng disappeared completely and no one knows how it went.

And that obscure person?
  Is it a human being? Putting down the tea cup, Cao An felt that the matters in the department could be discussed elsewhere, but this obscure person must be asked clearly.

"Tell me what you know about the 'Hui Ren'."

"Yes." Mubai heard the possibility of cooperation and quickly sat down again to talk to Cao An.

……

Mo Ren Lane was born five hundred years ago.

The rumors are related to the "Difficulty of Enlightenment" thousands of years ago. It was born out of Taoism, free from humans, immortals, demons and ghosts, and has no form or form.

No one cared about it at first, but as they grew, more shocking things were discovered.

The most terrifying among them is the "Hui Ren Jing".

Those who practice this method can gather all the darkness and turmoil in the world. If they succeed, they will win the world's destiny and be ranked as a semi-immortal. The so-called 'human bottle' is just one part of practicing the "Hui Ren Jing".

It was also because of this that all forces conducted a hundred-year siege on it before finally wiping it out.

"But for some unknown reason, the inheritance of the "Hui Ren Jing" has appeared again, plotting against countless people in our demon clan. I was also ordered to investigate this matter."

The demon clan is not popular in the human world. It is understandable that they choose to cooperate with the black slaves and use the power of the Tsing Yi Department to fight against the enemy.

Judging from the officials in the family, it might not be a bad thing to cooperate with these monsters in such a hurry to find the [Blackwater Yaochi].

"I agree to cooperate with you for the time being, but you must tell me who is the mastermind behind this? Who made you be so hostile?"

"We can only guess who it is, but according to the records of this technique, the practitioner should be no more than 40 years old."

All cultivators, unless they have hidden injuries, will generally live longer, and 40 years old can be considered relatively young.

But in order to complete such a large-scale layout, this person must be a high-ranking person. The first thing that came to Cao An's mind was Mo Xiaoming, the young minister of Dali Temple.

Although others may seem stupid, who knows if he is pretending to be crazy or acting stupid?

Mubai listened attentively, and the noise gradually rose outside the house. He could only lean forward slightly, revealing a piece of white snow for Cao An to feast his eyes on, and whispered in a low voice: "We suspect it is King An."

King An, the fourth son of Emperor Wanjing, was very capable and was deeply favored by Emperor Wanjing.

Of course, whether it is true or not will need to be investigated slowly in the future.

"In short, I have been plagued by bad omens recently. After this case, I will return to the Tsing Yi Department to avoid the limelight and will not go out for the time being."

"That's natural. Sir, please put your own safety first and remember to be careful of Prince An."

"Don't worry, he and I are not on good terms with each other, and we have little chance of meeting each other. If nothing happens, you should leave first."

Cao An also heard the noise outside the door, as if someone was looking for him.

Mu Bai charmingly asked for a blessing and agreed to have a night chat in the boudoir, but his ethereal figure turned into a line of white sand and floated away from the back window.

When he opened the door, Cao An unexpectedly saw Zhu Xian.

"Brother Zhu, why are you here? Looking for me?"

"Of course I'm looking for you. There's been such a big commotion in the city. I heard it was all your fault, so I came to see if we could help. I sent you an invitation by the way."

"Invitation?" Cao An accepted it with some confusion.

It seems that he has only solved a few cases, and is he already very famous in Shangjiang City? Which lady wants to ask him on a blind date...

[Xiao Wang heard that Cao Shuixiu of the Tsing Yi Department was obsessed with handling cases and knew the enemy's opportunities first, so he specially invited him to meet at Anxu Pavilion three days later to attend a martial arts banquet. 】

The content of the invitation was very simple. It not only complimented Cao An, but also extended an invitation to the banquet.

But after he saw the name 'Xiao Wang', his heart jumped suddenly and he quickly looked at the signature: [An Wang]!
  Cao An's pupils shrank, he was really afraid of what might happen!
