Ninth-Rank Black-Robed Female Constable

"If Huang Chengyue intended to offer five portions of rations to the demons, we wouldn't have been left with complete corpses. After all, martial artists have vigorous blood, which is a great tonic for demons."

"So, it must be that a few of us learned something we shouldn't have, and Huang Chengyue wants to use the demons to silence us."

"Perhaps not everyone knows his secret, but one of us five did. However, to completely cover up the truth and prevent it from being revealed by that person, he's killing us all along with them."

"That explains why the Scarlet Serpent Demon appeared in my room last night."

"She came for me, wanting to silence me."

"But I've completely absorbed the original owner's memories, and there's nothing about Huang Chengyue's secrets in them!"

"Not just Huang Chengyue, but no one else's secrets either!"

"The original owner was a passionate and upright young man. He wouldn't have secretly collected other people's private information."

"Could it be that the original owner didn't actually know Huang Chengyue's secret, but was implicated and met with disaster?"

"That would truly be an undeserved calamity!"

"But I can't convict Huang Chengyue based solely on a piece of bloody cloth and my own speculation."

"However, with my current cultivation, I'm not afraid of him. I'll investigate secretly first to see what the whole story is!"

Chen Fan frowned, calculating in his heart.

Huang Chengyue is also a Divine Treasury Realm, fourth level Blood Martial Saint. And now he is also at this level, and he has mastered the Grand Perfection-level Body Tempering Fist and Grand Perfection-level Blade Draw Slash.

Although Huang Chengyue relied on merit points to go to the Dragon Abyss Prefecture Brocade Guard Chiliarch's office and exchanged it for a more profound cultivation technique to replace the Body Tempering Fist, he is not afraid of Huang Chengyue if a fight really breaks out!

This is the confidence that strength brings!

"Uncle?"

"Are you listening?"

Zhao's sister-in-law looked at Chen Fan's dazed appearance and couldn't help but speak.

"Sister-in-law, I'm listening."

"I've remembered everything you said."

"I will investigate it thoroughly, but before the truth comes out, I want my sister-in-law to keep this matter in her heart and not tell anyone, otherwise it may bring disaster to my sister-in-law as well."

Chen Fan looked at Zhao's sister-in-law with a solemn expression and said.

"Mmm, mmm."

"I know."

"You and Brother Jia are colleagues and friends. I don't trust anyone but you."

"I'll leave this blood-stained cloth to you, Uncle. I hope you can investigate the matter thoroughly."

"But Uncle, if things are impossible, you must protect yourself. Although I don't want Brother Jia to die so unclearly, I don't want you to suffer another disaster because of this matter."

Zhao's sister-in-law nodded and handed the piece of Flying Fish Robe cloth in her hand to Chen Fan.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will."

"If you and your nephew encounter anything, go to the Brocade Guard Precinct to find me. I will do my best."

Chen Fan cupped his hands and said.

The information Zhao's sister-in-law provided him was too important.

Although his strength is now different from what it was before, the enemy is in the dark and he is in the light, so it is difficult to guarantee that he will not capsize in the gutter.

Now it's good, the enemy is in the open, and he is also in the open, so let's fight and see who is better!

Chen Fan bid farewell to Zhao's sister-in-law and immediately returned to the Brocade Guard station.

Their usual work is actually quite boring. Most of the time, they patrol the county town or take turns at the Brocade Guard Precinct. Sometimes they patrol outside the city near the county town.

The county town is a gathering place for the human race, and few demons who are not long-sighted enter the county town, so the county town is relatively safe, but outside the county town is the territory of demons.

Many villages and towns have suffered from demon disasters, but they have limited Brocade Guard manpower, and their main task is to guard Ping An County, so they generally do not actively patrol the towns below.

Unless someone comes to the Brocade Guard station to report traces of demons, and after the Chief Squad Leader approves it, they will decide whether to send manpower.

But there is one situation where they must all be dispatched, and even the Centurion cannot stay out of it.

That is, if demons slaughter a village, or directly occupy a town under Ping An County, then they must come out in full force.

However, under normal circumstances, this kind of thing will not happen. After all, demons are not fools. They have all developed intelligence and know that it is not a rational thing to fight to the death with the Brocade Guard.

In the next few days, Chen Fan did not encounter any demon assassinations, as if everything had never happened. However, Chen Fan felt that this might be the calm before the storm.

During these days, he often secretly followed the Brocade Guard Chief Squad Leader Huang Chengyue, wanting to find direct evidence of his collusion with demons, but unfortunately, Huang Chengyue's life was a two-point routine every day. He was either working at the Brocade Guard station or at home with his wife and children.

This is also the life of most of the old Brocade Guard members. They are already very tired from patrolling around every day. Unless they go to the brothel to listen to music, they go home and make babies with their wives.

After all, although this is a world of extraordinary martial power, it does not have so many modern entertainment facilities.

Huang Chengyue is fifty-eight years old this year. He has been practicing martial arts for many years, and his extraordinary strength makes him look not much older than Wang Chao, but the gray hair on his temples also reveals his age.

According to reason, he really has no need to collude with demons.

After all, according to the Great Zhou Law, colluding with demons is a capital crime, and a crime that wipes out three generations of the family.

He has money and status now, a house full of descendants. It's hard for him to get promoted or improve his martial arts realm any further. You could say he's at the perfect age to just lie down and relax. Why would he risk his life?

"Stop staring. I've seen you watching old Huang for days."

"He's not a problem. If he is, then there really aren't any good people left in our Ping An County."

A crisp voice sounded from behind Chen Fan. Chen Fan subconsciously drew the hundred-forged Embroidered Spring Blade in his hand, and unleashed the Grand Perfection martial skill Blade Draw Slash. A terrifying blade light slashed diagonally forward!

The newcomer quickly retreated dozens of steps as Chen Fan's slash left a three-foot-deep, ten-foot-wide mark in the bluestone ground.

"What a fierce blade technique. I never imagined that such a martial arts genius would be hidden in this small Ping An County Brocade Guard Precinct."

The newcomer looked at Chen Fan from afar, expressing admiration without being angry at Chen Fan's rash attack.

Of course, Chen Fan had also held back after unleashing that strike, not using his full strength.

The newcomer was wearing Ninth-Rank black robes, dressed as a constable. Clearly, she was a Ninth-Rank Black-Robed Female Constable from the county government, and a pretty one at that.

"Are you the constable of Ping An County?"

Chen Fan cupped his fist in greeting and asked.

A Ninth-Rank Black-Robed Female Constable in Ping An County has a rank equivalent to a Brocade Guard Squad Leader, but someone who can become a county constable is stronger than a Brocade Guard Squad Leader, even if she can't compare to a Brocade Guard Chief Squad Leader.

This female constable looked so young; she really didn't fit Chen Fan's impression of a Ninth-Rank Black-Robed Female Constable.

"How did you know I was a female constable? I'm clearly wearing the male constable's uniform, and I tried my best to lower my voice just now."

The female constable said, looking deflated.
