The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 230 Inspector

In an instant, Old Man Mo's face turned dark and he said unhappily.

"What are you thinking, kid? I just borrowed the content of this skill and deduced a method of transformation and sublimation. Do you think the old man looks like he has castrated himself now?"

"Heavenly Silkworm and Sunflower" is the magical skill created by Dongfang Bubai after he integrated the essence of "Golden Silk Rain" into "Sunflower Manual".

Five months ago, Fang Xun used this skill to trade with Old Man Mo.

Of course Old Man Mo knew the eight big words at the beginning of the martial arts method: "If you want to practice this martial art, you must castrate yourself." As soon as he saw Fang Xun's eyes, he knew that the other party had misunderstood.

Fang Xun understood after hearing this. With the accomplishments of Master Yin Shen, it was not difficult for him to deduce and restore the essence of "Golden Silk Rain" from "Heavenly Silkworm Sunflower".

He stopped dwelling on the subject and turned to look at the fire in the granary in the distance.

Although the fire was fierce, the granary was not far from the government office and the Six Gates headquarters, and there were also masters from all over Jinling City who kept coming there.

Some people poured water to put out the fire, while others used their internal energy to put out the fire. With the efforts of a group of martial arts masters, the fire was quickly stopped from spreading and was put out bit by bit.

"What happened just now? Why did the granary catch fire?"

Seeing that the fire was under control and put out in a short time, Fang Xun asked Old Man Mo again, but he just shook his head.

"I just came here after hearing the noise. I just arrived not long ago. If you want to know what happened, you should go ask your commander."

Then Old Man Mo sneered again.

"Haha, no matter who started the fire, they are probably destroyed now. Do you really think the two Yangshen masters in charge of the north city are good-looking?"

Fang Xun's frown never relaxed.

Dong Yunchuan just arrived in Jinling City in the morning, and the granary caught fire in the evening. He would never believe that there was no connection between the two.

Although Jiangzhou had good weather and no wars, there was basically no need to open warehouses and mobilize grain on a large scale.

But the granary stored not only ordinary grain, but also government salary rice, which was distributed as welfare to government employees.

The grade of spiritual rice varies according to the rank of the official.

Fang Xun himself had no shortage of this little bit of spiritual rice, but to those low-level servants and clerks, it was their lifeblood.

If there were no such benefits, who would be willing to be a lackey of the imperial court relying only on that pitiful salary?
After Fang Xun chatted with Old Man Mo for a few words, he also joined the fire-fighting efforts.

With the addition of a Yin Shen Grandmaster and a Yang Shen Grandmaster, efficiency has been significantly improved.

The raging fire burned for less than a quarter of an hour before it was put out. Not only did the fire spread outside the granary, but only one-tenth of the area inside the granary was affected.

On the nearby streets, teams of soldiers and yamen runners walked back and forth with sharp eyes and solemn expressions. When the common people in the city saw this, they dared not watch from afar, for fear that they would be caught as arsonists.

Inside the granary, many figures were standing in front of a warehouse that had been burned to ruins, and more than a dozen men in black were lying on the ground groaning in pain.

Looking at the ashes in front of him, Fang Xun also secretly glanced at Yu Jiaolong and Sun Donglai beside him.

Both of them looked livid, but did not speak.

Dong Yunchuan, who was standing at the head of the crowd, had a blank expression on his face. The middle-aged man next to him stood quietly, like a stone, without any movement.

Looking at the masked men in black groaning in pain on the ground, Dong Yunchuan turned around for a long time, looked at Yu Jiaolong and spoke slowly.

"I want you six sects to investigate this matter with all your strength. You have half a month to solve the case. Can you do it?"

"I will not let you down. I will find out the whole story of this case within half a month!"

Although Yu Jiaolong's face didn't look very good, she still agreed.

Dong Yunchuan just said a few words and left the scene. A group of government officials followed him, but the middle-aged man who had been following him did not leave.

"Yu girl, I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I'll be leaving first." Sun Donglai also shook his head and left with his soldiers. Only a group of Six Gates detectives and the middle-aged man were left at the scene.

After Dong Yunchuan and Sun Donglai's groups left, Yu Jiaolong was about to say something, but the middle-aged man suddenly spoke.

"Call all silver medal constables and above to the Six Gates headquarters for a meeting within one hour!"

After saying that, his figure disappeared from the spot. Yu Jiaolong's expression became even uglier, and the same was true for Sun Youcai beside her.

Liu Junshan, who was known for his impartiality, actually showed a hint of anger in his eyes.

Fang Xun frowned when he saw the three people's expressions and asked, "What's going on with that person?"

He was not in the Six Gates during the day and did not know what had happened, but judging from the expressions of the three people, they must have been very unhappy.

Yu Jiaolong's face darkened as she said, "He is the Jiangzhou Supervisor who took office with Dong Yunchuan—Luo Gang!"

"Inspector?!"

Fang Xun's expression changed immediately.

"What on earth has gone wrong in Jiangzhou that the court not only sent a great scholar of Yangshen to take over as governor, but also appointed his entourage as supervisors?"

The Inspector General, who is of the first rank, can be regarded as an imperial envoy, an official who is sent by the central court to the local area to handle major events, and is one level higher than the official in charge.

However, if there is a request, any local department must obey its orders completely.

Although Fang Xun knew that the other party was coming for the Ghost-Faced Man, he did not expect that the Academy of Scholars was so powerful.

A prefect and an inspector were appointed by the imperial court directly to Jiangzhou, and it was done within a few days.

Yu Jiaolong sighed and said, "You were not here during the day, but we know why these two came. They came for the Ghost Face Man.

After finding out the identity of the Ghost-Faced Man, capture him immediately, dead or alive!"

Hearing the words "no matter life or death", Fang Xun's expression did not change. He just frowned and asked, "Ghost-faced man? What did the ghost-faced man do again?"

"Let's go back to the Six Gates and talk as we walk."

Yu Jiaolong did not answer his question immediately, but first gave some instructions to several other silver medal detectives, asking them to send someone to notify the other silver medal detectives who were still at home as soon as possible.

Then he said something to Fang Xun and walked out of the venue without looking back.

Fang Xun, Sun Youcai, Liu Junshan and other silver-medal constables in the awakening state immediately followed.

On the way to the Six Gates, Yu Jiaolong slowly said, "Fang Xun, you may not know that the second spiritual revival of heaven and earth ten days ago was caused by an abnormal movement in Qinggang Mountain, which was caused by the Ghost Face Man!"

Fang Xun was stunned for a moment, but then asked doubtfully, "But the revival of the spiritual power of heaven and earth should be a good thing, the imperial court doesn't have to kill him, right?

And I remember that it was not Black Water Abyss that was plotting in the Corridor Mountains. Could it be that the Ghost Face Man also joined Black Water Abyss? Didn’t he kill the Seven Killers?"

He acted as if he only knew the tip of the iceberg, and no one else noticed anything was wrong.

Yu Jiaolong sighed again and said, "I don't know the details either. Dong Yunchuan and Luo Gang know about it, but they didn't tell me too much.

You are wrong about one thing. It is not the imperial court that wants to kill the Ghost-Faced Man, but the Confucian sect!"

Fang Xun nodded: "So Dong Yunchuan and Luo Gang came to Jiangzhou, and they can mobilize all the forces of the Jiangzhou government?"

Yu Jiaolong nodded and said with a grim expression.

"If it were just that, it would be nothing, but once Luo Gang arrives, he will take over all matters of the Six Gates. From now on, all detectives in Jiangzhou will have to obey his orders. Even I, the commander, must fully cooperate with him and be available at his beck and call!"
