Hearing Huang Shaojie’s arrogant but upright words, Wu Zhen couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of hope in his heart.

He bowed his hands to Huang Shaojie and said: “If you are willing to help the common people redress their grievances and punish Cao Renqi, I, Wu Zhen, will die without regrets!”

Huang Shaojie said calmly: “I will put you in the dungeon first, and then I will interrogate you after I investigate this matter.”

After that, he took Wu Zhen to the dungeon.

“I’ve met Mr. Huang.”

A prison warden and several guards hurriedly bowed to Huang Shaojie.

Huang Shaojie pointed at Wu Zhen and said: “This man is a serious criminal, you must take good care of him. However, do not use severe torture on him, do you understand?”

“Yes, sir.”

The prison head bowed his hands, and then asked two guards to shackle Wu Zhen’s hands and feet and put him in a cell.

Coming out of the dungeon, Huang Shaojie’s mind was filled with the system’s reward prompts:

[Congratulations to the host for capturing the assassin and receiving thirty years of internal skill reward. 】

Following the system’s reward prompt, a majestic energy was injected into Huang Shaojie’s Dantian, causing his internal strength to skyrocket for thirty years.

Boom~

The profound entrance in his body was broken through, and Huang Shaojie’s cultivation level broke through to the eighth level of innateness.

Boom~

Another profound entrance was broken through, and Huang Shaojie’s cultivation level broke through again, reaching the ninth level of innate realm.

Now, he is only one step away from the master level.

For ordinary people, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to break through from the ninth level of Xiantian to a first-level master.

The vast majority of warriors will find it difficult to enter the innate realm throughout their lives.

Those who can enter the innate realm are undoubtedly the best.

However, more than 99% of these Xiantian realm warriors will find it difficult to break through to the Grandmaster realm in their lifetime.

A warrior who can reach the master level must meet at least one of the following conditions.

one. His bones are extraordinary and his talent is extraordinary.

Second, learn top-notch martial arts, even peerless martial arts, mythical martial arts.

3. Have taken pills that increase cultivation, strange fruit elixirs, etc.

Fourth, being directly absorbed in one’s skills and breaking through to the level of a master or above.

If one of these four factors is achieved, it is possible to break through to the master level.

If there are two or more types, it is very likely that the cultivation level will reach the level of a fifth-grade master or above.

If you reach three or more types, you can at least reach the peak level of a master.

If all four are achieved, you can enter the realm of a great master.

As for Huang Shaojie, who is in the system, it is only a matter of time before he breaks through to the Grand Master realm.

Huang Shaojie felt very relieved after having increased his internal strength for thirty years and breaking through two realms in a row.

The further the realm goes, the higher the level of cultivation required.

Although he has now reached the ninth level of Xiantian, if he wants to break through and be promoted to the master level, he will need at least 30 years of cultivation.

In fact, he only needs to sign in every day for thirty days. After the New Year, he can break through to the master level.

Although he is still at the ninth level of Xiantian level, he possesses three peerless magical skills, which are enough to defeat the masters within the third level.

It can be said that Huang Shaojie’s current strength is second only to Qianhu Niuren in the entire Suzhou Jinyiwei.

Niu Ren can reach the level of a fifth-level master. In addition to his extraordinary talent in martial arts, he has also mastered two top-notch martial arts, the innate infinite magic and the powerful Vajra Palm.

The martial arts levels are divided into: third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, top, peerless, and mythical.

The Wind God Kick, the Vajra Indestructible Magic, and the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are all peerless martial arts.

Huang Shaojie then came to the Jinyiwei lobby and met Niu Ren.

“See you, Mr. Qianhu.” Huang Shaojie bowed his hands to Niu Ren, who was sitting at the top of the hall.

Niu Ren took a sip of tea, looked at Huang Shaojie, and asked lightly:

“How is your investigation going on Captain Cao’s assassination?”

Huang Shaojie said: “Your Excellency, my subordinates have captured the assassin and imprisoned him in the Jinyiwei dungeon.”

“Oh, we caught the assassin…how did you catch this assassin?”

Niu Ren was slightly surprised. It took only three days for Huang Shaojie to catch the assassin. This was really unexpected.

Huang Shaojie briefly told the story of how he used a trick to lure the assassin over disguised as a doctor and then captured him.

After hearing this, Niu Ren could not help but show a look of approval, “Yes, you are not only strong in martial arts, but also very thoughtful. No wonder you caught this assassin in three days.”

Huang Shaojie bowed humbly: “Thank you for your compliment, sir!”

Niu Ren picked up the tea cup, scraped the floating leaves on it with the tea lid, and said:

“This time you helped Captain Cao catch the assassin. I will reward you with one hundred taels of gold sent by Captain Cao!”

After that, he asked the guard to take his token to the warehouse and fetch one hundred taels of gold.

“Thank you for the bounty, sir!”

Huang Shaojie clasped his fists and bowed his head. He stepped forward to accept the small brocade box containing one hundred taels of gold.

Although he had just received Cao Ren’s 71,000 taels of silver notes,

But who would mind having too much money?

Niu Ren took a sip of tea and said, “Who is this assassin? Why did he assassinate Captain Cao? You must interrogate these clearly before sending him to the Criminal Department for conviction and beheading.”

Huang Shaojie said: “My lord, this assassin’s name is Wu Zhen. He was originally a centurion in the Suzhou military camp. At that time, Cao Renqi was still a Qianhu. According to Wu Zhen, Cao Renqi raped his wife ten years ago. , and falsely accused him of treason with the Japanese and killed his parents…”

Huang Shaojie told Niu Ren exactly what Wu Zhen said.

After hearing this, Niu Ren was also shocked!

He snorted with a sullen look on his face: “If what Wu Zhen said is true, this Cao Renqi is worse than a beast!”

Huang Shaojie said: “Based on my subordinate’s observation of Wu Zhen, he probably wasn’t lying and compiling. Instead, Cao Renqi was eager to kill Wu Zhen with one strike. I stopped him so he didn’t have the chance to kill Wu Zhen.”

Niu Ren slapped the desk and said angrily: “Cao Renqi is so brave. He actually dares to kill someone in front of Jin Yiwei. He really doesn’t know how to live or die! It can be seen from this that what Wu Zhen said must be true. Cao Renqi took possession of his subordinate’s wife. , and feared Wu Zhen’s revenge, so he falsely accused Wu Zhen of being a Japanese invader, intending to kill and silence him.”

Huang Shaojie said: “Your Excellency is aware of everything, and my subordinates think so too.”

Niu Ren stood up, walked to Huang Shaojie, and said:

“Go and secretly investigate Cao Renqi to see if you can find any evidence of his illegal crimes. If you find it, immediately arrest him and bring him to Jinyiwei for interrogation and ask him to confess that he raped his subordinate’s wife ten years ago and falsely accused him of being a traitor to the Japanese. offense.”

It is naturally difficult to find evidence of crimes ten years ago, but it is not difficult to investigate other evidence of Cao Renqi’s current crimes.

If nothing else, corruption, bribery, and property seizure are definitely inevitable.

Otherwise, how could Cao Renqi only rely on his annual salary of several hundred silver taels to afford such a large mansion with tens of thousands of taels of silver notes?

Niu Ren’s order was exactly what Huang Shaojie wanted.

If Niu Ren was protected by officials and prevented from investigating Cao Renqi’s evidence, Huang Shaojie would have to resort to extraordinary means.

Fortunately, Niu Ren, the Jinyiwei Qianhu, is still an upright person.

Immediately he cupped his hands and said: “I obey the order!”

Not long after Huang Shaojie left, a school captain came in and announced:

“Lord Qianhu, Lieutenant Cao Du wants to see you!”

“Oh,” a sneer appeared on Niu Ren’s lips, and he naturally understood why Cao Renqi came here.

“Bring Mr. Cao in!”

Niu Ren waved his hand, sat back on the Grand Master’s chair at the top of the hall, and drank tea from a cup.

After a while, the school captain led Cao Renqi to the lobby.
