Chapter 36 Demonic spy, turbulent undercurrent
"Several, aren't you looking for the evil cultivator who is harmful? The other party has already appeared, and you still don't want to do it?"
With a half-smile, Lu Xing pointed at the man in sunglasses, whose spiritual power was as black as ink, exuding an ominous aura, and looked at the few government soldiers surrounding him.
The sluggish Yamen soldiers immediately came to their senses when they heard the sound, pulled out the pistols around their waists and pointed them at the man in sunglasses, but the hands holding the guns trembled uncontrollably, and they didn't dare to surround him at all.
The man in sunglasses took off the shattered sunglasses on his face, threw them on the ground and crushed them with his foot, revealing a clean face. If he put on a gentle expression, he would probably be regarded by many people as an underappreciated scholar.
However, at this moment, that clear face is full of indifference, and against the backdrop of that devilish spiritual power, it does have the aura of a great devil.
Most importantly, as the man took off his sunglasses, many people in the surrounding crowd exclaimed.Lu Xing's hearing is pretty good, and he heard several titles of 'Teacher Qin'.
"It seems that many people recognize you, but they probably don't know that you are a demon cultivator who eats people's souls."
Lu Xing took two steps back, slightly distanced himself from the surrounding yamen soldiers, and said to the Qinghuang man.
"Hmph, boy, I'll give you one last piece of advice not to meddle in other people's business, otherwise you won't be able to get out of Luodu Prefecture!"
Qin Zhaolong stared at Lu Xing coldly, then turned his palm and took out a jade talisman.
With a movement of Qiu Wanbai's eyes, he suddenly flitted out and grabbed Qin Zhaolong.
But Qin Zhaolong's movements were faster, spiritual power was poured into the jade talisman in his hand, and a burst of brilliance flashed, Qin Zhaolong's figure disappeared in place, making Qiu Wanbai's attack in vain.
"Young master, do you need to chase?"
Qiu Wanbai grabbed the air with one hand, and immediately formed several handprints, a faint gray air flow circled between her fingers.Afterwards, Qiu Wanbai turned his head to ask Lu Xing.
Just as Lu Xing was about to speak, he noticed the expressions of several government soldiers around him, sneered, and said loudly.
"What's wrong? Under the banner of arresting demons and heretics, the lords of the yamen soldiers remained indifferent after seeing the demon cultivator, and instead wanted to attack the ordinary people who helped you find the demon cultivator?"
Lu Xing's voice used his spiritual power to explode in the air, almost as if someone had used a stereo and yelled with all his strength, it made people's ears hurt.
But because of this, the crowd who were still a little bit of a commotion immediately quieted down, and all their eyes were cast over.
The two people beside Lu Xing who were about to make a move to capture Lu Xing froze for a moment, beads of sweat dripped from their foreheads, and their eyes were terrified.
The three leading yamen soldiers in front turned around, at first they didn't understand why Lu Xing said that, but they saw that the muzzles of the pistols held by the two men were vaguely pointed at Lu Xing, and one of them also took out a high-grade spiritual weapon. Handcuffs, close to Lu Xing.
The square-faced thick-browed yamen soldier who led the team shouted in surprise and anger: "Wang Ren, Dong Sheng! What do you two want to do!"
Lu Xing cast a glance at the captain, suspecting that he was also Qin Zhaolong's accomplice. The two even took out the handcuffs that imprisoned the spiritual power in the body, and asked them what they wanted to do.
"Stop shouting, they were suppressed by Xiaobai's aura, and now they are struggling to even blink, let alone answer your words."
Lu Xing said lightly.
It was only then that everyone noticed that Wang Ren and Dong Sheng had indeed been motionless since the very beginning.
Seeing this, the yamen soldier who led the team hurriedly waved his hand to let people step forward, and was restrained by Wang Ren and the other two.
Qiu Wanbai walked over, dispelled the pressure on Wang Ren and the two, and showed Lu Xing the gray air flow in his hand.
"The fluctuations are very weak, and the person chasing after him should have run far away now."
"normal."
Lu Xing was not surprised.
"These two people dared to attack me even though they knew you were a fairyland. They obviously planned to hijack me with their own lives in exchange for the escape of that person just now."
Hearing this, Qiu Wanbai turned his gaze to Wang Ren and Dong Sheng who were restrained by two government soldiers.
"Should we kill them?"
All the yamen soldiers tightened their expressions, and Wang Ren and Dong Sheng shouted in panic.
"We have no intention of making a move at all! It's all a misunderstanding!"
"That's right! We were just intimidated by the aura of that demon cultivator, and we were a little out of proportion for a while, so we were misunderstood by this young master!"
The two were complaining there. After all, they didn't really take action, but there was a slight tendency in their behavior. As long as they insisted that it was just a misunderstanding, they didn't believe that Lu Xing really dared to kill public officials in the street.
"Xiaobai, search for the soul!"
However, the words that came out of Lu Xing's mouth in the next second made the two of them stop suddenly.
Soul search... Indeed, you said that you were wronged, so I will directly search the soul to extract the thoughts and past memories from your mind just now, to see if there is a misunderstanding.
However, soul-type spells have always been rare, and even Dacheng above the prefecture level has personnel from the Judgment Department stationed who specialize in practicing various soul spells.
Each member of the Judgment Division has practiced countless soul spells, among which soul searching and reminiscence techniques are essential for getting started in the Judiciary.
Seeing Qiu Wanbai approaching, Wang Ren and Dong Sheng turned pale, but at this moment someone suddenly called Qiu Wanbai from the other side of the street.
"and many more!"
A young man in a green robe but with a broken hairstyle ran in from the crowd.Before he could catch his breath, he hurriedly said loudly.
"The magistrate of the county has ordered that there are spies of demon cultivators inside the yamen soldiers. Once discovered, everyone will immediately arrest them and put them in the county yamen prison, waiting for the joint trial of the three divisions of the investigation department, criminal investigation department, and demon killing department."
Lu Xing narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand to stop Qiu Wanbai's movements, and asked the young man who was still panting with a smile.
"Your Excellency is the secretary of the county magistrate of Xutu Town?"
The position of county magistrate secretary is equivalent to the position of master in previous dynasties, except that although the royal family has been restored in Yanhuang Kingdom, the system implemented is similar to the constitutional monarchy.
The royal family ruled but did not rule, and set up three provinces, six ministries and nine divisions, and the left and right ministers were in charge of all domestic affairs.Kyushu county kings manage Kyushu in name, but in fact the county kings only have the command authority of the prefectural army, and the lords of the major prefectures are directly under the central cabinet.
Although the system is still somewhat chaotic, it is the most in line with the national system after the recovery of spiritual energy.
Because the county kings of Jiuzhou are the second step of the immortal gods, cultivators of the Profound Cave Realm!
Their existence is to guard one side, to prevent monsters from making troubles, or foreign races invade Kyushu on a large scale!It is equivalent to the former frontier general, the prince who split the soil and sealed the border, so he is not called the state lord but the county king.
Being called the state master means that he is the master within a state, and he is not under the jurisdiction of the royal family of Yanhuang Kingdom.
Known as the king of the county, it means that although he is in charge of a state, he is still dominated by the royal family.
Lu Xing had also seen quite a few officials in the Lu family compound come to the Lu family to ask for elixir before, and this was not prohibited by the royal family.Because this is the same as when Lu Xing went to the hospital to see a doctor or go to the pharmacy to buy medicine. Who can say that he will never go to the hospital pharmacy for the rest of his life?
Small officials like county magistrates and secretaries basically come to ask for medicine on behalf of the big boss behind them, so Lu Xing is very familiar with this kind of official robe.
"Your county magistrate has great powers. I just met a demon cultivator here and found out two suspects. Then your county magistrate sent you over to my place to ask for someone."
Lu Xing said with a somewhat sinister smile.
Most of the people present understood the meaning of his words...
The county magistrate of Xutu Town had Moxiu spies among the Faxian yamen soldiers. Instead of contacting the city guards to take care of the yamen soldiers, he sent his secretary to come here instead.
This clearly means that he already knew that there were spies from demon cultivators here.
and……
"My lord secretary, you seem very unwilling to let me search the souls of these two yamen soldiers."
Lu Xing looked directly into the opponent's eyes and sneered.
"Could it be that these two people know something that will implicate you and your county magistrate?"
Seeing that, when these words came out, almost everyone in the room turned pale.
But the young secretary's expression was calm: "My son, you are joking. We have something shameful. It's just that these two people are only temporarily suspected. Before their charges are determined, they are still public officials. .”
"Besides, as yamen soldiers, they will naturally know some confidential documents in the county yamen, and those things will be known to outsiders. Not only will the magistrate and I lose our official titles, but you, my lord, may also be punished by the Spirit Law Department." accountability."
What the secretary said was very reasonable, and many people nodded in agreement. Only a few people such as Lu Xing noticed...
The secretary said a lot, but he avoided the important ones. Why did he come here in such a timely manner, and how the county magistrate knew that there were Moxiu spies here, but he didn't mention a word.
Lu Xing wanted to ask again, but suddenly his eyes moved, and he smiled instead.
"Okay, then I will leave it to the county government. In addition, do we still need to go to the county government?"
"nature…"
As soon as the young secretary said two words, he saw Qiu Wanbai stepping forward and stretching out his hand towards Wang Ren and Dong Sheng. With a sudden change of mind, he immediately understood what Lu Xing meant, and quickly changed his words.
"Of course there is no need. After all, the two... three are just people who were involved in an accident. There is no need to go to the county government."
"So, thank you very much."
Only then did Lu Xing speak out, causing Qiu Wanbai to let go of his hand, and also relieved the young secretary and several people who were secretly paying attention.
"Everyone, go slowly!"
Lu Xing took Xiao Qi's hand, and led Qiu Wan Bai back to the hotel, leaving everyone outside.
