There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 364 A bit chaotic

He Jiu's reward made Zuo Xuan jump up from his seat. Wen Hai's face changed slightly and he shouted sharply: "What's going on?"

"We're focusing on the Warehouse Department's problems. They..."

"No need to explain, is the person still within your sight?" Wen Hai interrupted and asked an important question.

"Still there!"

He Jiu's answer made everyone let out a breath, but before they could relax, the sound of urgent footsteps outside made them feel excited again.

"He's one of my people!" He Jiu said when he turned around and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman who was stopped at the entrance of the courtyard.

"Let him come here!"

Zuo Xuan's voice couldn't help but become louder. When the Qi practitioner at the door heard it, he immediately chose to let him go.

The middle-aged man entered the yard and ran over immediately when he saw He Jiu. When he saw other people in the house, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.

"What's the matter?" Wen Hai's voice was a little loud.

"Reply!" He Jiu reached out and put his hand on the middle-aged man's shoulder.

"The target committed suicide by taking poison."

He Jiuyi was startled, and then realized that he had been negligent. He cupped his fists towards Zuo Xuan and said, "I should have captured him right then and there!"

Wen Hai took a deep breath, as if to calm his inner emotions, and then said: "After all, he is a member of the governor's Yamen. If he is arrested without official documents, he will be in trouble."

As He Jiu's direct person in charge, he must be the first to protect people.

Zuo Xuan was irritated, but he couldn't get angry. Just when he was about to take out the formal documents to file the case, Zuo Liang walked quickly into the courtyard and walked directly into the house. She saw the people in the house paused. .

"What happened again?"

Zuo Xuan's irritable tone made Zuo Liang lower her head. After she was sent out to practice for a while, she rubbed off a lot of water chestnuts. After hearing this, she looked around and reported directly: "There is news from the governor's office, Governor Li. He committed suicide by hanging himself from the back office."

"What the hell..."

Li Lin cursed subconsciously.

Zuo Xuan originally wanted to curse, but Li Lin beat him to it, so he could only say coldly: "They are trying to cause trouble while Mr. Fu and Taoist Changqing are in seclusion!"

...

The governor of Nanlin Road, named Li Xiangxiang, is from Huiping County on Haizhou Road. He was born as a second-class Jinshi. He is also a capable person. He is the only Jinshi in Huiping County in the past hundred years. After all, it is a border city.

After he passed the Jinshi examination, he also passed the imperial bachelor's degree. He planned to take the path of studying in front of the palace to gain qualifications, and maybe one day in the future he could join the cabinet to worship the prime minister. However, his plan could not keep up with the changes. Twenty years ago, Jinhuai Mansion When the prefect became vacant, he was selected by a group of cabinet ministers.

In the past twenty years, he has been from the post of prefect of Jinhuai Prefecture to the position of governor step by step. He can be said to have managed Nanlin Road in an orderly manner. Many people still have his longevity tablets in their homes.

But he ended his own life.

The back office of the governor's office is usually where the governor and his family live. It is a two-entry courtyard. The layout is not luxurious, but it has a sense of the weight of time.

The place where Li Xiangxiang committed suicide was in the pavilion where he usually drank tea alone. He used a piece of fine white silk to commit suicide. It was obvious that this was a method he had prepared for a long time.

At this moment, the governor is still hanging. There are heartbreaking cries at the door of the courtyard leading here. It is his wife, two young daughters who have not left the government, and three concubines. His eldest son has already become an official and is at home. He worked as a minor official, and his younger son studied hard at Zhonghui Academy.

Zuo Xuan walked around the pavilion, while Li Lin was monitoring with a magic weapon. Two Qi practitioners from Daozang Hall argued with an old man wearing a third-grade civil official uniform. The official seemed to be very dissatisfied with Daozang Hall's intervention in this matter. It's anger.

"how?"

Zuo Xuan ignored the civil servant at the courtyard door and looked at Li Lin who was walking over to ask. Li Lin cupped his fists and responded: "It was suicide, and he had been preparing for this step for a long time. The white silk he used to commit suicide looked old at first glance. No one in his right mind would buy such a white silk and keep it at home." It’s on!”

"Okay, let their family members collect the bodies, and then send someone to take over the governor's office and search it for me inside and out. No one is allowed to go out without my order. In addition, let someone from the governor's office come over. .”

Zuo Xuan ordered coldly.

When Li Lin clasped his fists and agreed, Zuo Xuan glanced at the officials who were still entangled, then turned into a stream of light and headed towards the Daozang Hall.

Daozang Hall Administrative Courtyard.

As soon as Zuo Xuan's feet touched the ground, Zuo Liang, who was in charge of intelligence, leaned over and said, "The news came a day ago that the Pingzhou Road rebels have occupied the capital, and now I think they are marching to the capital!"

"There's shit everywhere!"

Zuo Xuan complained in a low voice to relieve the boredom in his heart, and then ordered: "Continue to collect information."

After saying that, she tiredly sat back in the main seat of the main room. Soon a Qi practitioner brought in a new cup of tea. She picked up the tea cup and took a comfortable sip of tea.

A calico cat that seemed to have just woken up jumped out from behind the screen on the left, jumped onto her shoulder, rubbed her cheek habitually, and meowed "meow" twice from time to time.

Most of Zuo Xuan's depressed mood dissipated immediately. She returned to the desk behind the screen and sat down. She wrote down the series of events that happened today with a pen, and then took out the official documents that she had to deal with every day. Her task was to sit in the center. , the purpose is to maintain the stability of Nanlin Road.

Half an hour later.

Someone stood at the door and announced: "Master Liu from the Governor's Yamen wants to see you!"

The governor of this dynasty was responsible for supervising military affairs, and government affairs were generally handled by the governor's yamen. However, the two yamen could also make suggestions to each other and assist in supervision when necessary.

In name, the governor is half a rank higher than the governor, with the title of Minister of War, but in practice, he is often one rank lower than the governor.

"Let him in!"

When Zuo Xuan walked out of her office area, she saw a middle-aged man dressed as a military attaché of the second rank entering the room. When he saw Zuo Xuan, he immediately performed a Taoist fist-cup salute, "I've met my senior."

What he did was the courtesy of a junior, because he was a descendant of the Liu Shuang family.

"Master Liu, sit down..."

Zuo Xuan was very polite. He called this person over because he wanted to send a force of 3,000 soldiers to Mozhou Road. In name, it was to help the Mozhou Road Governor's Yamen to exterminate the rebels. In fact, he wanted to investigate this incident. The truth behind the incident.

Moreover, she is going to arrest Yu Min in the name of Daozang Palace. This army is sent there to express her stance!

Naturally, her proposal was approved without any ambiguity.

When it's getting dark.

Wen Hai and He Jiuxing came to see them in a hurry.

"How is it?" Zuo Xuan asked impatiently.

"It's suicide!" He Jiu replied.

Zuo Xuan was no longer surprised.

Wen Hai continued: "They are really going to attack the grain. I checked the granaries near Jinhuai Mansion in the afternoon, and they were almost all empty!"

Zuo Xuan's brows jumped. The Warehouse Department was still in charge of the grain growing in various prefectures and counties. Thinking that it was autumn harvest time, he asked in a deep voice: "How are the harvests in various places?"

No one answered her, because no one in Daozang Hall would pay attention to this question.
