White Tiger Hall Main hall.
Lei Heng sat on the tiger-skin-covered Grand Tutor Chair with a gloomy face.
His originally majestic silver Flying Fish Robe now had obvious burn marks on the cuffs, making him look quite embarrassed.
On the table in front of you are several secret reports that have just been sent.
Every piece of content made his eyelids jump.
Liuxi Village's cellar was burned, and Ledger's whereabouts are unknown; Imperial Stable Bureau Eunuch Liu visited Heavenly Prison privately; Ministry of Justice's Death Warrior army was wiped out...
One by one, these piles were like a big invisible net that was slowly tightening, suffocating him.
And the source of all this is that damn little jailer, Fang Mo.
"Why is this kid not dead?" Lei Heng gritted his teeth, and the tea cup in his hand creaked.
At this moment, an announcement came from outside the door.
"Report--! Seventh Squad General Flag Fang Mo asks for a meeting!"
Lei Heng shook his hand and the hot tea splashed into his hand.
Not dead?
Not only did he not die, but he also came back?
Black Wind Ridge That Zombie Tiger is a ferocious creature carefully fed by the guardian Corpse Herding Cult. Plus those Bronze Armored Corpse, even the masters of the Organ Refining Realm will have to peel off their skin.
Fang Mo is just a young guy who just joined the job, why can he come back with all his hair and tail?
"Let him in!" Lei Heng took a deep breath, suppressed the shock and anger in his heart, and put the majestic and cold mask on his face again.
The door opens.
A strong smell of blood flowed into the hall with the night wind.
Fang Mo strode in, followed by Qian Dagui with a sad face and ragged clothes.
"Humble position Fang Mo, see Lord Hundred Households!" Fang Mo did not kneel down, but just raised his hands casually, his voice was loud and full of energy, and he did not look like he had experienced a fierce battle at all.
Lei Heng narrowed his eyes and glanced back and forth at Fang Mo like a knife.
In perfect condition.
There isn't even an obvious scratch on that Fish Scale Armor. How is this possible?
"Fang Mo, you are so brave!" Lei Heng snapped at the crime, taking the lead, "I asked you to go to Black Wind Ridge to investigate the demon, why didn't you come back until late at night? It turns out that delaying a military flight is a capital crime!"
Fang Mo smiled.
He directly ignored Lei Heng's official authority and casually threw the black cloth package on the table in front of Lei Heng.
"Boom."
The package landed with a muffled sound. The spherical object inside rolled twice, and the black cloth spread out, revealing a pale, eyebrowless face.
Lei Heng's pupils suddenly shrank.
That is his contact person at Black Wind Ridge and the protector of Corpse Herding Cult!
"Lord Lei, this Black Wind Ridge's evil spirit, I have found out clearly."
Fang Mo pointed at the head and said in a calm tone, "A group of Corpse Herding Cult's remnants were entrenched in the mountains and forests, raising corpses and harming people. I humbled them and killed them together with the Zombie Tiger who had become a sperm."
"This is the head of the thief."
Lei Heng I felt a chill rising from the soles of my feet to the sky.
Killed?
Flat?
That is one of his most important sources of wealth outside the city!
Half of those Corpse Oil, those properties plundered from merchants, flowed into his pocket every month. Now, all of them are gone?
"You!" Lei Heng pointed at Fang Mo, his fingers trembling slightly, "How dare you!"
"My lord, I would like to ask, why do you dare to kill someone in a humble position?" Fang Mo cut off his words, took a step forward and approached Lei Heng, "Because this thief confessed before he died."
"He said that he had a backer in the court. He said that there were people in Divine Capital protecting him, allowing him to make a fortune in Black Wind Ridge with peace of mind, as long as he paid the money on time."
Fang Mo's voice was very low, but it was clearly transmitted to Lei Heng's ears.
"Sir, do you think this thief is talking nonsense? We Punishment Department are Heavenly Prison's pro-army, specializing in suppressing Martial Artist. How could anyone collude with the evildoer?"
Lei Heng's face instantly turned livid, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
This is a threat.
A naked threat.
This kid not only killed someone, but also took advantage of him.
If these words reach the ears of that crazy woman Demon Suppression Division Li Mingyue, or stab Censorate, he, Hundred Households, will be done.
"Hmph!" Lei Heng snorted coldly and forced himself to calm down, "That's nonsense! How can Demonic Cultivator's bite before death be taken seriously?"
"Bizhi thought so too." Fang Mo grinned, showing his white teeth, "So I chopped him up directly to prevent his bad mouth from talking nonsense and ruining your reputation."
"It's just..." Fang Mo changed the subject, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "This time we destroyed the demon nest, our brothers suffered heavy losses."
He turned around and pointed at Qian Dagui behind him.
"Look, Young Master Qian destroyed this precious garment worth thousands of gold in order to use it as a bait. Iron Bull's sledgehammer was also smashed. And the sword of Beizhi was curled. These are all real gold and silver."
Qian Dagui immediately wailed in cooperation and sat down on the ground. "My lord! I am so miserable! Then Zombie Tiger almost swallowed me up in one bite! My soul has been greatly traumatized. What should I do if the root cause of the disease is found in the future!"
Lei Heng looked at the two masters and servants singing in harmony, and was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.
This is blackmail!
This is where the starting price starts!
But he didn't dare to fall out now.
The line of Black Wind Ridge is broken, and the non-existent Ledger is like a hanging sword.
If he touches Fang Mo now, then there will be no three hundred taels of silver here.
"What do you want?" Lei Heng asked through gritted teeth.
"Not much." Fang Mo held out five fingers, "Black Wind Ridge's old rule for the property seized by the Punishment Department is that we divide it into thirty-seven points. The brothers take seven and hand over three to the official. In addition, you have to be considerate of the pension, repair fees, and Young Master Qian's mental loss fee, right?"
"By the way, I heard that there is a batch of Bloodsteel seized from Western Regions in your warehouse? Iron Bull is worried about having no materials to repair the hammer."
The corners of Lei Heng's mouth twitched violently.
Bloodsteel? That's the top material used to make Hundred Households level weapons. It's priceless but not marketable! This kid really dares to open his mouth!
"Okay! Very good!" Lei Heng laughed angrily, took off a piece of Token from his waist, and slapped it on the table, "You can go to the warehouse to get it yourself! The 30% seized will be sent to the accounting office tomorrow morning! Now, take your people and get out!"
"Thank you for the reward, sir!" Fang Mo grabbed Token, his movements were as fast as grabbing.
"Da Gui, stop howling, thank you Lord Lei."
As soon as Qian Dagui heard that he had the money, he immediately stopped talking, jumped up from the ground, and bowed deeply to Lei Heng: "Lord Lei Master Qingtian! Long live Lord Lei!"
The two of them took Token and walked out of the White Tiger Hall.
Looking at the two people's backs, Lei Heng punched the table. The withered head was knocked to the ground and rolled to his feet, with eyes like dead fish still staring straight at him.
"Fang Mo..." Lei Heng squeezed these two words out from between his teeth, "Let you be proud for a few days first. When the people above are free, I will cut you into thousands of pieces and make you Lamp Oil!"
Walking out of the Yamen, the night breeze was slightly cool.
Fang Mo threw Token in his hand and was in a good mood.
"Boss, are we really going to the warehouse to move things?" Qian Dagui still can't believe it. Why did Lei Laohu suddenly change his gender?
"Move! Why don't you move?" Fang Mo threw Token to Qian Dagui, "Not only must we move, but we must also move expensively. We Seventh Squad are now heroes who have made meritorious deeds. It is only natural that we should get some rewards."
"However, I still have some personal matters to take care of. You take Token to find Old Yan and ask him to make a list and go to the warehouse to scan the goods."
"Private matter?" Qian Dagui was stunned.
Fang Mo turned to look in the direction of Divine Capital, which was where Heavenly Prison was.
"I'm going to see an elder."
"There are some old accounts that need to be cleared up."
