"But this step has stumped many people. Some Vice Thousand Households Commander have endured it for three to five years and still haven't seen any movement."
Su Fei nodded and scanned the courtyards.
It took about a stick of incense to walk and passed several Thousand Households Office.
The clerk stopped in front of a courtyard and pointed to the plaque "Vice Thousand Households Commander Office" on the lintel.
"Thousand Households Commander Su, this is your Thousand Households Office."
"Whenever you are promoted to a thousand households, this Vice Thousand Households Commander Office should be changed to Thousand Households Office."
"By the way, Thousand Households Office is very large and has its own residence in Thousand Households Commander Su. You can live here directly. If you find it inconvenient, you can also rent or buy a house outside."
Su Fei nodded, room allocation with benefits? Good guy, this saves you from buying a house yourself.
It seems that there is no chance to experience the housing prices in this imperial city of the world.
Pushing open the door of Thousand Households Office, the courtyard is paved with bluestone slabs, with several old trees planted on both sides. Opposite is a five-room wide lobby. People are already standing under the steps in front of the hall.
At the head are five men wearing Flying Fish Robe. They have a calm aura. They are all Xiantian Realm cultivation level. They should be from hundreds of households.
Behind him were dozens of small flags and general flags wearing blue uniforms, all with scimitars on their waists and looking solemn.
Seeing Su Fei come in, the five people immediately stepped forward to salute. The small flag and the general flag behind them also bowed together with loud voices.
"Meet Thousand Households Commander Su."
Su Fei glanced at everyone, and instantly figured out the details of these people's cultivation. Among the five hundred households, the highest one was Fifth Level of Xiantian Realm, and the lowest one was First Level of Xiantian Realm.
Most of the small flags and general flags are in the early and middle stages of the True Qi Realm, and a few have reached Late Stage of True Qi Realm.
"Everyone, get up."
Su Fei's tone is calm, but it has a sense of majesty.
Everyone stood up, and the leader, Baihu, who was in his mid-forties, had Bearded Man on his face and was slightly fat, stepped forward and cupped his fists.
"Zhang Lie, my subordinate, is Thousand Households Office. I have met Thousand Households Commander Su. These are Li Shan, Wang Yue, Zhao Qing, Zhou Ping, are all members of our Thousand Households Office, followed by the small flags and general flags of each team."
Su Fei nodded and his eyes fell on Zhang Lie. This person had the strongest aura. He pointed to the lobby.
"Let's talk in the hall."
Everyone followed Su Fei into the lobby. There was a rosewood koan in the middle of the hall, with rows of tables and chairs on both sides.
Su Fei walked to the public case and sat down. The clerk withdrew knowingly and closed the door.
"I have just arrived and am not familiar with the situation of Thousand Households Office."
"Officer Zhang, first let's talk about our Thousand Households Office's current errands."
Zhang Lie quickly stepped forward and handed over a brochure.
"Go back to Thousand Households Commander Su. This is our Thousand Households Office's roster. Our Thousand Households Office's main task is to patrol the southwest area of the imperial city. Most of our Thousand Households Office's warriors are responsible for this errand. You don't need to worry about this."
"In addition, we Thousand Households Office also handled several cases."
"The first is to track down the medicinal materials stolen from stores in the east of the city last month, and the second is to monitor the merchants Myriad Blessings Tower in the west of the city."
Su Fei flipped through the brochure.
"The medicinal materials were stolen? What is suspicious about this Myriad Blessings Tower businessman?"
"Sir, this person claims to be a tea merchant from the south. He bought Myriad Blessings Tower as soon as he came to Great Xuan Imperial City. Myriad Blessings Tower is a relatively famous restaurant in the imperial city. The Wanfu dishes in the chef's seat are quite famous."
"But his accent is very strange. It doesn't sound like the South of the River accent. He also often interacts with some people in the world. He has a wide network of friends and spends money lavishly. He doesn't look like a serious businessman."
"We have been watching this person for half a month, but we haven't found any actual evidence."
Su Fei closed the book and glanced at everyone.
"This Myriad Blessings Tower businessman, let's ignore him and the theft of medicinal materials. These are just trivial cases. Are there any major cases?"
Zhang Lie Hearing this, there was some hesitation on his face. He glanced at the few households beside him, then took a step forward and lowered his voice.
"Back to Thousand Households Commander Su, there is indeed a big case, but this case is too difficult and no one can find the clue yet."
After hearing about the theft of medicinal materials, Su Fei became interested.
What his God-tier Insight Technique is not afraid of the most is difficult cases.
"Let me tell you, I have never encountered a case that I couldn't solve."
"Sir, this is the Vajra Temple family murder case in the western suburbs of the Imperial City."
"This Vajra Temple is located on the Emerald Screen Mountain in the western suburbs of the Imperial City. It has always been very popular and is a place where dignitaries in the Imperial City often go to pray. It also has a good relationship with our Great Xuan Dynasty court. Vajra Temple often sends monks into the palace to pray for blessings."
"The Buddha treasure Gilded Sarira enshrined in the temple was given by His Majesty five years ago."
Zhang Lie paused, his face showing a bit of solemnity.
"But just over ten days ago at night, more than 100 monks of the Vajra Temple, from the abbot of the Vajra Temple to ordinary monks, were all killed. No one was left alive, and only seventy or eighty corpses were left at the scene."
"There are also many corpses of monks, just like Gilded Sarira, missing."
Su Fei suddenly felt that this was strange.
"The monk's body disappeared?"
Although Vajra Temple is named after a Buddhist temple, it is also a medium-sized martial arts sect. The abbot of the temple, Master Xuankong, is also a martial artist of Grandmaster Realm Seventh Layer. It is said that there are other Grandmaster Realms who are in charge of the temple.
Such a mid-level sect was wiped out overnight.
Zhang Lie continued.
"The host of Vajra Temple also has a great disciple Zhen Ding who is born with a Buddha heart. He has also stepped into the First Level of Grandmaster Realm. He is quite famous among us. He often enters the palace to pray for blessings. Even his body has disappeared."
Su Fei asked.
"Did they suddenly encounter some powerful enemy? Didn't they send someone out of the temple to ask for help?"
Zhang Lie smiled bitterly.
"No, I have carefully checked the villagers at the feet of Emerald Screen Mountain. None of the villagers have encountered monk Vajra Temple who came out of the temple to ask for help."
"This is indeed a bit strange. Even if you encounter a powerful enemy, it is impossible to kill all the monks at once."
"What's even more strange is that after the investigation, thousands and hundreds of households found that there were no traces of fighting left at the scene. The corpses of the monks were all neat and unbroken, as if they had been silenced without any resistance."
"Moreover, the doors and windows in the temple are intact, and there are no signs of climbing on the courtyard walls. It's like the murderer appeared out of thin air, killed people out of thin air, and finally disappeared out of thin air."
"Because the Buddha treasure was a gift from His Majesty, and now it has disappeared like this. When His Majesty found out, he was furious and ordered us Imperial Guard to solve the case within a month."
Speaking of this, Zhang Lie smiled bitterly.
"But in the past ten days or so, many thousands and hundreds of households have gone to Emerald Screen Mountain to check, but they can't find any clues at all."
"Some people guessed that it was the devil who did it, but no trace of their actions was found at the scene. Some people said it was a vendetta, but Vajra Temple has always been independent of the world, and I have never heard of such a big enemy."
Li Shan on the side added.
"Thousand Households Commander Su, then Vajra Temple Many monks are proficient in horizontal martial arts 'Vajra Body'. It is difficult for ordinary warriors to break through their defenses. However, the corpses of the monks at the scene did not even have traces of hard defense. They looked like they were killed instantly with one move. The strength of this murderer is probably at least Master a peak powerhouse."
