With a bang, Zhong Wu unfolded a map several feet across and spread it out on the table. On the map, there were many small red dots scattered in all directions, "This is the map of Fengle City Nine Cities and Eighty-one Districts. The red dots on it are all suspicious."
Xu Yi held down the map with one hand, and took out a charcoal pen in the other hand. Sometimes he would use the charcoal pen to draw horizontal lines, and compare with each other on the map, as if he was calculating the scale.
Suddenly, he drew a perfect circle in the area with dense red dots in the upper right corner of the picture, and tapped on the perfect circle with a charcoal pen, "Li Xin, you rush to the center of the circle. After half a stick of incense, I will meet you there."
After saying that, he resigned and went out. Li Xin stared at Zhong Wu with his mouth open.
Zhong Wu said enigmatically, "Listen to your Majesty. Everything you say is correct. Your trust in your Majesty should be superstitious."
Li Xin was speechless, accused Zhong Wu, and hurried to the center of the circle marked by Xu Yi.
He didn't believe Zhong Wu's praise of Xu Yi at all. He thought he had quite a lot of experience in tracking, and it was precisely because of this skill that he was finally appointed as Head of the Anti-Theft Department by Xu Yi.
In the past five days, he could not be said to have been careless, but all the clues he had just discovered had been cut off and smoothed away.
In terms of ability, of course he knew that he was not My Lord Prefectural Commander's enemy. He could track and trace him. It was not something that could be accomplished by someone with great ability, nor could someone with just a few words of praise be able to truly receive the blessing of divine power.
Even so, since My Lord Prefectural Commander had given the order, he only knew how to act according to the order.
After Li Xin rushed to the location indicated by Xu Yi, he immediately took out the hourglass and started timing. He is a person who believes in rigor.
Half a stick of incense was about to arrive, and Xu Yi appeared next to him like a ghost, transmitting a message, "To the west, the young man in green has not yet entered the country, but his strength cannot be underestimated. I will hand him over to you. I hope you can bring him back quietly. Can you do it?"
"Yes!"
Li Xin answered decisively, but he didn't believe it at all. In just half a stick of incense, Xu Yi could solve the problem that he couldn't solve in five days.
After Li Xin agreed, Xu Yi didn't say much, and immediately left the city and returned to the imperial court.
At three o'clock in the hour, Xu Yi was sitting in the hall, holding a thick book, and was looking at it intently. Li Xin stepped inside, prostrated himself on the ground, and said excitedly, "Your Excellency, the gods are like jade, and can discern every detail, and I will bow to you."
Xu Yi put down the booklet and said, "It seems that he was caught. Are there any casualties?"
Li Xin said, "There were no casualties. Although this thief is cunning, his subordinates are not foolhardy. What's more, they used secrets to show the light, and the subordinates worked hard to design and finally captured the animal quietly. After checking the animal's supplies, this thing was discovered."
With that said, Li Xin handed over a jade plaque. The jade plaque was completely black, with a black lotus carved in the middle, as if it was about to flutter in the wind at any time.
"What is this?"
Xu Yi took the jade token, and it felt like holding black ice in his tentacles.
Li Xin said, "This is Black Lotus Token. Only a person of at least Branch Meeting Elder level can wear it. It is a token of Black Lotus Cult."
"Black Lotus Cult!"
Xu Yi exclaimed in shock, "This religion actually jumped to Dongshan Prefecture."
It was Xu Yi who slowly penetrated into this world, and I have also heard of Black Lotus Cult.
He suddenly felt troubled, "Where are the people?"
Li Xin said, "I have been escorted to the government office, and I will be waiting for you at any time."
As he spoke, he looked at Xu Yi with eyes full of awe.
To this day, he still can't imagine how Xu Yi locked onto the core figure of the Black Lotus Demon Sect within half a stick of incense.
However, what was difficult to do at Li Xin is just a snap of the finger at Xu Yi.
He asked Zhong Wu to mark the suspicious points, then overview the map, draw the intersection area of the suspicious points, and then use this intersection area as the focus of the search area, activate Sound Interception Technique and the perception ability. It may be difficult to capture the secret information, but to capture the relevant suspicious characters, with the huge size of Black Lotus Cult, it is simply a piece of cake.
At that time, he had targeted many big fish, but among them the young man in green was the most prominent, so he took action on him.
"By the way, this animal is quite valuable. A total of seven wishing beads have been seized and are hereby delivered to your lord."
With that said, Li Xin spread out the seven wish beads in his palms and sent them to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi waved his hand, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. You can take it and share it with your brothers."
Of course Xu Yi wants the wishing beads. His pocket is cleaner than water now. It is precisely because he is extremely short of wishing beads.
At the same time, the treasury is also empty. Fortunately, the soldiers have just arrived and the organization has just been established. It is reasonable not to give out rewards for the time being.
If it continues, poverty alone will bring down this new Dongshan Prefecture order.
After all, no matter how solid a team is, if there is no interest to maintain it, it will fall apart sooner or later.
Li Xin is very happy and thanks Xu Yi again.
At this moment, Cheng Yan rushed in like a strong wind, "Sir, Prefectural Judge Cao are here."
Xu Yi stood up and cursed secretly, "You really look down on the villains in the world."
Until now, he still couldn't understand why the official document Cheng Yan received earlier was clearly a false shot to deliberately paralyze himself.
It's also my fault for being careless. Even though I had a flaw on my side, I still imagined that the other party would advance slowly to give myself time to react.
Xu Yi's mind turned quickly, and his senses were released. Prefectural Judge Cao was leading three people to the square in front of the government office. One of the three people he was leading was an old acquaintance Zhongshan Prefecture Personnel Selection Department Director Gong Chao, I don't know the other two, they are probably the newly appointed Prefectural Judge and Prefectural Guard Captain.
Xu Yi said, "Cheng Yan, you go out and greet the guests for me, and tell Lord Cao that I will come to see him after seeing the distinguished guest later."
Cheng Yan agreed and resigned without asking Xu Yi why. He always did whatever Xu Yi told him to do, never being suspicious or talking nonsense.
Li Xin couldn't help it. He was extremely nervous. He wanted to persuade Xu Yi not to take risks, so as not to anger Prefectural Judge Cao, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
Xu Yi said, "Don't worry, just sit back and relax."
As soon as he finished speaking, Prefectural Judge Cao's roar could be heard outside the door, "Where's Xu Yi, and where are the others? I'm here to represent the government. He's so bold and dares to make me wait. I don't care if he has any distinguished guests, he still has to come out and see me."
Prefectural Judge Cao just shouted out. A middle-aged man in purple robe with extraordinary bearing suddenly took action and knocked Cheng Yan away. He shouted, "A little ant dares to block the way of the judge."
Prefectural Judge Cao snorted coldly and strode forward with his head held high. Gong Chao and the other three followed quickly, walking straight and vigorously.
Prefectural Judge Cao's eyes were like lightning, shining directly into the Prefectural Office hall, and murderous intent accumulated in his heart.
The opportunity this time was the best. He didn't intend to use hard or soft knives to kill people.
In the previous confrontation, he underestimated Xu Yi. A careless move not only cost the useless thing Zheng Bahuo his life, caused a fire in the backyard, but also caused him to lose Eldest Brother's face in front of Gong Chao.
Every time he thought about this, he couldn't help but feel his forehead swell and his heart burst into anger.
