Chapter 32: Murder and arson are accepted!
The breeze blew across the meadow, and the horses nibbled the grass leisurely.
Others didn't know what Qiu Jinhu was thinking, but after hearing his explanation, they finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in their stomach.
"Boss, where are we going next?"
Qiu Jinhu came back to his senses and laughed, "We're not going anywhere. Let's just walk around outside the city. When the people from Hengyang Prefecture arrive, we'll go back to the city together."
He received a summons from his superiors saying that an important figure from Hengyang Prefecture would come to deal with the matter of Ji Wuming's death in prison.
This matter involves huge implications.
If it is not handled properly, the death toll may not be just one or two.
As for the two Xuanming Elders, they also died in prison, which has nothing to do with the Six Gates.
The ones who should have a headache are the Jinyiwei!
……
In the deserted Six Gates base, Cao Feng was looking through the intelligence alone. The young detective had been sent away by him long ago.
"Tsk!~"
Cao Feng rubbed his brows with a headache.
The imperial court had strong control over the Guanzhong area.
There are occasional bandits and robbers, but they are all small fry.
Any traces will be cleared away soon.
As for those bandit giants, they were as low-key as Dongfang Bubai, and most of them left after finishing their work.
There are few people who can rule the mountain.
If you want to catch a serious criminal, you have to go "outside the three gates".
"The real martial arts world is only outside Tongguan..."
Cao Feng sighed softly and put down the "Wanted Criminal List" in his hand.
This wanted list is the summary of the Six Gates’ wanted orders.
The criminals who made it onto this list were at least at the innate realm, and most of them were ruthless people who were difficult to catch even for the people in the prefecture.
People like Ji Wuming think they are quite famous in the world.
In fact, he is not even qualified to be included in the Six Gates’ wanted criminal list.
It only has a place on the prefectural level list, and is not even qualified at the state level!
As for small fry like Liu Xingyu...at best he is just a name on the county-level list.
At this time, Cao Feng was looking through the general list of wanted criminals.
If you pile them all up, they would be at least three meters high!
With so many criminals accumulated, is it true that the imperial court is incapable of catching them?
actually not.
If the imperial court is determined to eliminate criminals, except for a few rare individuals, 99% of the criminals on the wanted list will disappear.
The reason why so many criminals are at large.
It all comes down to one sentence: If you want to be an official, you have to kill people and burn things to be recruited!
Some people come from grassroots backgrounds and have no background at all.
It is difficult to achieve anything even if you have skills.
If you want wealth and glory but don't want to be a lackey for the officials, you can only take the route of Zhao'an.
Not to mention the entire imperial court, there are many such people within the Six Gates alone.
In other words, most of the backbones within the Six Gates are ruffians who have been granted amnesty by imperial decree!
This is like a different kind of assessment.
The grassroots who want wealth and glory use their fame in the underworld as a stepping stone to attract the attention of the court.
If one is not strong enough and has committed many evil things, he will naturally be tortured.
On the contrary, those who are both capable and talented will be given important positions!
From then on, he was transformed into an official with a higher official position, and the prisoner became an adult!
Because of this, the length of the Six Gates' Wanted Criminal List only increases every year.
In fact, there are countless people who want to be recruited.
What is the purpose of learning martial arts?
Except for those martial arts fanatics who pursue martial arts wholeheartedly, almost all of them are after fame and fortune!
If possible.
Just ask yourself, who doesn’t want to be a superior person?
"Ha!~" Cao Feng smiled softly, with a hint of contempt at the corner of his mouth.
It hasn't been that long, but the length of the wanted criminal list has increased dramatically.
The name of Guo Juxia is really ridiculous!
If Guo Bujing had not focused all his attention on the Jinyiwei, there would never have been so many masters who wanted to be summoned to the throne in such a short period of time.
The great man is the country and the people.
It is true that it is beneficial to the country to recruit capable people from the underworld.
But it made the people suffer.
It will be a success!
Those who are able to be pardoned by the imperial court will inevitably have countless bones under their feet.
It seems that Guo Bujing felt guilty but was unable to stop the trend, so he resigned from the post of Shaoqing of Dali Temple and retreated behind the scenes to become a consultant.
However, this is good news for Cao Feng.
The more powerful criminals there are and the shorter the distance between them, the faster his realm will improve!
It saves a lot of travel time.
"Wait a few more days. If Zhao Min still doesn't take action, then we'll follow the original plan and clean up the three major underworld groups first!"
The lair of the three major underworld groups has never changed.
It is considered to be extremely high-quality prey.
The only troublesome aspect may be the strength.
Those three families all have powerful people who have reached the state of innate great perfection in charge!
Even if there was no possibility of being summoned to surrender, the Six Gates would not dare to move against the three major families.
With Cao Feng's current strength, if he fights against any one of them alone, he will only be killed.
However, since he dared to target the three major underworld groups, he must have his own confidence.
During the journey from Guangyang Prefecture to Nanyang Prefecture, he had full confidence that he could elevate himself to the innate realm!
It doesn't matter if you don't encounter any powerful criminals.
At worst, we can just catch more small characters and accumulate them into a lot.
……
For the next period of time, Cao Feng practiced peacefully in his residence, waiting for Zhao Min to bring people to his house.
Cao Feng knows Zhao Min better than anyone else.
He knew that the woman had suffered such a great loss that she would never give up and would definitely come to get revenge.
It has nothing to do with personal grudges, it is just to maintain the face of the Yuan Dynasty!
After losing two masters at the half-step grandmaster level, if the Mongol Yuan Dynasty cannot wipe out Dongfang Bubai and him, what dignity does it have left?
If the news reaches the border, morale will definitely be greatly affected!
But this wait lasted for half a month, and Zhao Min's revenge still did not come.
This surprised Cao Feng a little.
It was not until Master Liao came to visit that Cao Feng understood what was going on.
It turned out that he was one of the candidates for the Chief Constable of Guanzhong. He led a large group of experts from Hengyang Prefecture to Guangyang Prefecture.
Not only that, the deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard also led people from the imperial city to join in the fun.
With so many experts coming to the court, it’s no wonder that Zhao Min has been slow to act.
However, based on Cao Feng's understanding of Zhao Min, that woman might be waiting for people to gather and then make a big move!
Only in this way can the strength of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty be demonstrated.
"Xie Budong, Chang Junlai..."
Cao Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, ignoring Master Liao's urging, and pondered secretly.
Xie Budong could almost ignore it.
This fellow's martial arts skills are only average, and he has achieved what he has today only by relying on an inner armor that is invulnerable to swords and spears, plus his extraordinary luck.
He achieved several great feats, all thanks to Guo Bujing.
Guo Bujing is indifferent to fame and fortune. When working on a case with him, he would downplay his presence and let others do the work.
It was because of this that Xie Budong climbed to the position of candidate for the Chief Constable of Guanzhong.
Unfortunately, with his abilities, this is the limit.
As long as the top brass of the Six Gates are not crazy, he will carry his identity as the candidate for Chief Constable into his grave!
Compared to Xie Budong, a 'lucky guy' who has no real talent.
Chang Junlai, deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, is the real big shot.
