Three days later.

Ling Xiaotian issued the highest order to the Jinyiwei Yamen in the thirty-six counties across the country to secretly investigate all gang organizations in Dachu, as well as the mysterious sect behind them.

Once any gang is found showing signs of rebellion, they will be rounded up immediately.

A few days later, Niu Ren also received the top secret order from Ling Xiaotian, as well as Huang Shaojie’s appointment document for the general banner.

Niu Ren mobilized hundreds of Jin Yiwei to secretly investigate all gang organizations in Suzhou County.

However, there are hundreds of gang organizations in Suzhou County, so it is impossible to investigate them.

Moreover, it is undoubtedly even more difficult to investigate evidence of rebellion.

A month has passed and still nothing.

During this month, Huang Shaojie clocked in as usual and received 30 years of internal strength rewards.

Coupled with the inner strength and mental skills he has practiced on the Fengshen Leg during this period, his skill has increased a lot.

At this time, his martial arts realm had reached the seventh level of Xiantian.

With his current cultivation level, the power of the Wind God Legs and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms is even greater.

It can be said that even a first-grade master is no match for him.

It is now the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the new year is approaching.

The third update has passed.

The night is dark and windy.

The whole of Suzhou fell into a dark sleep.

There is a luxurious mansion with five courtyards in the west of the city. There are two lanterns hanging in front of the red lacquer door, with the word Cao written on them.

This mansion is the residence of Cao Renqi, the captain of Suzhou County.

Duwei, a fourth-grade military attache, is in charge of tens of thousands of troops and has great real power.

At this time, there were still two teams of sword-wielding guards in Cao’s mansion, carrying lanterns and patrolling around the mansion.

A black shadow took advantage of the pitch-black night to avoid the two patrolling groups of guards and flew into Cao’s mansion.

The shadow was very relaxed, and each leap was light and fast, as silent as a civet cat.

He flew around the rockery and roof ridges in the courtyard, searching for something from room to room.

Soon, the dark shadow came to the window of the upper room in the east wing.

The luxurious bedroom was lit by candlelight, and light shone from the closed paper window lattice, and two figures could be vaguely seen bumping into each other.

A woman’s high-pitched shouting came from the room.

The black shadow dipped his index finger into some saliva, gently broke the paper on the window, and looked over at the window.

A shirtless fight was going on in the room. A fat man with a mustache was frantically attacking a beautiful woman.

After seeing the face of this fat man clearly, the black shadow’s eyes burst out with hatred and anger.

This fat man was none other than Cao Renqi, the commander of the Suzhou Army.

The masked man took out a throwing knife and suddenly shot it at Cao Renqi, who was working hard.

The flying knife cut through the air, making a whistling sound, and shot towards the heart of the fat man.

This sudden change is hard to guard against.

If it were an ordinary warrior, it would be difficult to escape.

But Cao Renqi can be a fourth-grade military attache, so how can he be average in martial arts?

The moment the flying knife came in, Cao Renqi hurriedly rolled off the woman’s body.

However, although he reacted extremely quickly, the flying knife that struck was even faster.

It hit the chest with a pop, missing the target by just a hair and going straight into the heart.

The masked man shot out a knife, then broke through the window and struck Cao Renqi with the long sword in his hand.

Cao Renqi jumped up from the ground, drew out the sword hanging on the wall, and shouted: “Here comes an assassin!”

“Ah~”

The woman was so frightened that she got under the bed, stuck out her big white buttocks and screamed loudly.

The masked man stabbed the air with his sword, then swung his sword towards Cao Renqi again.

Cao Renqi hurriedly swung his sword to fight, but was hit in the chest by a flying knife without a handle, which inevitably hindered his movement. His arms were immediately numb from the shock, and he almost lost his grip on the sword in his hand.

Without thinking, Cao Renqi jumped up and climbed out of the window.

The masked man followed closely, swinging his sword to kill.

“There is an assassin, catch the assassin quickly!”

“Protect your lord!”

The patrolling guards shouted and flew over with swords and guns.

These guards were all Xiantian realm warriors, and they surrounded the masked man in seven or eight seconds.

The entire Cao Mansion suddenly became commotion, and dozens of master guards flew out of the house.

“Who are you that dare to come to assassinate me?”

Cao Renqi covered the wound with one hand, pointed the sword at the masked man with the other hand and shouted loudly.

The masked man didn’t answer and slashed at Cao Renqi with his sword.

The seven or eight guards all attacked the masked man in black.

The remaining dozens of nursing experts who arrived at the hospital were unable to intervene and surrounded the masked man to prevent him from escaping.

Seven or eight guards who had reached the Xiantian realm surrounded the masked man, but they were unable to injure the masked man at all.

However, it was temporarily difficult for the masked man to repel these seven or eight guards.

After the two sides fought for a stick of incense, the masked man broke out of the encirclement and fled away.

go.

After these guards and several nursing masters chased him for several hundred meters, they lost sight of the masked man in the dark night.

The bodyguards and masters of nursing hurriedly returned to Cao Mansion for fear of falling into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain.

…….

The next day.

Cao Renqi sent a housekeeper to the Jinyiwei Yamen with three hundred taels of gold and asked to see Niu Ren, a Qianhu of the Jinyiwei.

Jinyiwei lobby.

“The villain pays homage to Niu Qianhu.”

The housekeeper bowed his head and knelt down to Niu Ren, who was sitting in front of him.

People must kneel before officials, unless they have meritorious status.

Although this housekeeper is the housekeeper of Cao Duwei’s house, he does not have any fame.

“No courtesy.” Niu Ren picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and asked, “Why did Captain Cao ask you to come to me?”

The housekeeper stood up and said: “For Qianhu, an assassin came to the Cao Mansion last night. My father was injured by the assassin’s flying knife. Fortunately, the guards came to the rescue in time and saved my father.”

“Assassin?” Niu Ren couldn’t help narrowing his eyes and asked, “Who is this assassin? He dared to assassinate the Captain. Have you caught him?”

The housekeeper said: “This assassin’s martial arts are so strong that he escaped. That’s why my master sent a villain to ask for help from the Jin Yiwei to capture this assassin.”

After saying that, he took a brocade box from Suicong’s hand and stepped forward to present it respectfully.

“This is the three hundred taels of gold that my master has prepared for Jin Yiwei to handle the case. If the assassin is caught, my master will give another five hundred taels of gold as a thank you.”

Cao Renqi knew that if he wanted to catch this assassin, he had to ask Jin Yiwei for help.

Asking Jin Yiwei for help, naturally you can’t go empty-handed.

Although Cao Renqi was a fourth-grade military attache, when he encountered the assassin Jin Yiwei had no duty to pursue the assassin. This was investigated by the government and county government.

Unless Cao Renqi is killed, Jin Yiwei will be able to investigate.

Niu Ren nodded slightly and said: “This assassin actually dared to assassinate the imperial official. It is really lawless. Just wait a moment, I will send someone from Qianhu to accompany you to the Cao Mansion.”

“Thank you, Master Qianhu.”

The butler bowed his hands and retreated to the lobby.

Niu Ren thought for a while and said to the guard beside him:

“Go and tell Huang Shaojie, the commander-in-chief of the Third Guard Station, to come over.”

“yes.”

The guards took the order and left.

The reason why I thought of calling him Huang Shaojie was, firstly, because I thought he was keenly observant and capable of handling cases, and secondly, Huang Shaojie was also very powerful in martial arts.

After a while, Huang Shaojie strode into the hall.

Xiang Niu Ren bowed his hands and said, “Sir, I’m looking for a subordinate. What are your orders?”

Niu Ren said: “Captain Cao was assassinated at home last night. You go with the housekeeper to Cao’s mansion to have a look, track down the assassin, and arrest him.”

The captain was assassinated?

Huang Shaojie felt slightly surprised in his heart, and he cupped his hands and said, “I accept your order.”
