In the heavy rain, the turbulent river water rushed towards the sharp bend in front, and the waves surged. The huge body rushed into the water, like a rushing winter bear. After a moment, the figure rushed to the ashore again.

The figure named Lin Echan rushed forward a few steps along the river bank, looking at the river water, and continued to grab the stones and threw them out while running, causing the water columns on the river to fly high. After so many times, he stopped smashing the stones and ran a few more steps, slowing down.

"Haha." He smiled mockingly, but the girl who fell into the river was no longer clearly visible.

When a master fights, the omissions between several moves may have to be paid. In this battle between the two, although Lin Echan has been fighting Xigua without the power to fight back, in terms of cultivation, Xigua and Chen Fan have already touched a certain threshold for transformation. Lin Echan is just average in water, but he does not know how capable watermelon is in this area. If watermelon is skillful in water, it is not impossible to suddenly get a few knifes in the water when it is seriously injured.

He had just returned to the world and had the upper hand at this time. Before facing Zhou Tong, he would be safe in everything. In addition, if it was really possible that the other party was very good in water and was seriously injured, it would not be possible that he would have been hard for long in such water. Under the rain, his figure walked along the river, staring at the scene on both sides of the river like a hawk.

It was already evening, and in the rain, the mountains seemed dark. Opposite the river was a blue forest, blurred and low. When the river roared down, the world was still a scattered murderous intent.

...

In the flood, the girl held the short knife in her hand tightly and tried hard to maintain her last trace of awakening. But in the river, undercurrents surging, and her body silenced into the mud and sand at the bottom of the river. In a blink of an eye, her body had already turned around and could not distinguish the direction.

The light was dim and the water was also turbid, but the flow rate was astonishingly fast, with mud and sand and algae wrapped around her body. Just as the next bend suddenly came, she tried hard to adjust her body with her only remaining consciousness and opened her eyes wide.

In front of me, the raised reef at the bottom of the river suddenly bumped into my head!

Black shadow enlargement—

...

The rain turned smaller in the evening, but the sky still darkened early. There were lights among the mountains and hills soaked by wind and rain.

In the mountains near Sipinggang, the camp was already muddy. When Zong Feixiao walked into the camp, it was dinner time, and the flames were burning barely in the wet shed. Several teams of yamen runners were sorting out the ditches outside. The day and night guards were wearing straw raincoats and changing their guards. When he came, the rules were implemented even more strictly.

The Ministry of Justice held a meeting with the officials from all over the country. In terms of the resources used, it still had to rely on government offices in various places. In this day, there was no taboo in government affairs that did not disturb the people. But this time, the matter was different from the past.

To put it bluntly, the heroes of Green Forest are all kinds of religions and all kinds of people under Fang Baihua are even more elites among the elites. If they rely on villages and county facilities to establish camps, they cannot drive away the idle people around them, and they may be exploited. In order to make a stopgap, Zong Feixiao and Tie Tianying chose to build the camp independently according to the marching method, striving to master everyone under their command clearly and avoid being infiltrated by outsiders.

The huge Ministry of Justice is in charge of criminal affairs across the country, with a total of seven chief constables, all of whom are outstanding. Tie Tianying is smart and capable, and is in charge of the situation. Although Zong Feixiao looks tall and fierce, he is actually a meticulous person. In the past few days, he led the constables to set up a net of heaven and earth outside, and occasionally a single bandit was caught and concentrated among the prisoners.

Although I still have to use the power of Lin Echan and others to deal with top experts such as Fang Baihua, it is Zong Feixiao's layout that effectively compresses the other party's escape space step by step.

This camp has been in Sipinggang for several days. Within a few days, the scattered bandits were being captured one after another, and some were famous figures in the green forests in the past. But for the people of the Ministry of Justice, it is not enough to have these people alone.

This time, he escorted Fang Qifu to the north. The two of them had an open order to take Fang Qifu to the capital for trial. But in the eyes of the two, if they just did something like this, anyone could do it. It was Tong Guan's contribution to defeat Fang La, and Xin Xingzong who defeated Fang Qifu. The military took over these contributions. There was nothing wrong with it, but for the two, those who could seize the opportunity to make a comeback will naturally take down Fang Baihua and clear up the remnants of Yongle.

The chief chief of the Ministry of Justice said that it was very powerful, but in fact, they belonged to a transition from the local to the center. These people often came from the bottom and were familiar with specific affairs. They were full of wit and had great martial arts skills. However, in the court, such people were only cruel officials and could not be considered formal officials. In other words, they were "craftsmen" rather than "administrators", "soldier kings" rather than "generals".

The span between the two is extremely large, and many capable officials may only sit in the position of chief arrest for the rest of their lives. But if they can overcome this hurdle and enter the center of the Ministry of Justice, even if they complete their transformation and successfully retire in the future, they can still have a better reputation.

The difference between learning the civil and military skills and the imperial family is so big. Of course, the world is like this, and for them, they will not feel that there is anything wrong with it. The identity of the general arrest is not considered a big one, but it is only relative to the central officials, for ordinary people, they are always a great official.

Walking all the way into the newly built shed on the camp, Tie Tianying was eating wine and food by the table. The living conditions were not very good, but the food was rich. Zong Feixiao had a lot of appetite, but he didn't drink, so he took a bowl of leftover rice and ate a big bowl before he spoke.

"Today we only caught three people, we broke seven brothers and injured thirteen. Nine of them were unwilling to surrender and all died."

Tie Tianying took a sip of wine and sneered: "If you can escape to this time, it is hard to be lucky to go to the capital. They understand in their hearts, so they naturally don't want to tie them up."

"There seems to be a discovery of Fang Baihua and others in Yuzhen, and someone has fought with the people of Badao. They should have changed places again. But I plan to go and take a look tonight."

"Did you notify the other person surnamed Lin?"

"That Lin Zongwugu is strange. We told them, but they didn't want to reveal anything. It's really uncomfortable..." Zong Feixiao shook his head and snorted, "But what we should say is still to them."

Tie Tianying smiled: "They use us, and we also use them. It is common for these people to be mysterious and mysterious. Let them be the ones first, and the rest will be said after finding Fang Baihua..." Both of them were not stupid people, and he said this casually. He did not explain anything to Zong Feixiao. After a moment of pause, he whispered: "The Demon Buddha Lin Evil Zen... was also very powerful back then..."

"That fat man..." Zong Feixiao thought for a while and nodded, "The cultivation level should not be underestimated. He said he wanted to challenge Zhou Tong. I'm afraid it was not a false statement."

"Ha." Tie Tianying smiled and sneered, "Just watch, the name of the world's number one master in the Imperial Boxing Gym. How could it be simply played?"

The two of them chatted for a few words. Zong Feixiao had quickly eaten two big bowls of rice, and then chewed slowly. While eating the dishes, he remembered something and said casually: "In the past few days, the people from the Secret Investigation Department have been asking the surrounding officials about this matter."

Tie Tianying narrowed his eyes, and after a moment, he looked as usual: "It's so big that there's something going on over there, and it's inevitable that there's some noise."

"There are unreasonable things, what are these people trying to do?"

"In extraordinary times, use the right way." Tie Tianying smiled, "Just look at the attitude above, you will know that the emperor is not at ease with them. Now they are only qualified to watch. When the war in the north is Yixiu, you can see what the end of these people will be. At the beginning, Cai Xiang had not had such power, so how could he let the ranks dominate the court?"

Zong Feixiao nodded, then lowered his voice: "Not long ago, Liu Qinghe and I talked privately that this Secret Investigation Department might be set up to fight against Cai Xiang. In the court, Li Xiang was only able to fight against Cai Xiang in the Qing Dynasty. After all, the real power was the Prime Minister Qin. If he had not retreated back then, he would be the one who could really compete with Cai Xiang."

"This kind of thing is not something you and I can know." Tie Tianying also whispered, "But speaking of it, among the cases you and I have handled before, think about how many people are related to Cai Xiang. Cai Xiang's party is big and powerful. How many people are they involved in the business with the Liao people back then? If anyone hadn't been able to fight against Cai Xiang, the Northern Expedition would not be able to fight."

"Cai Xiang also wants to promote the Northern Expedition."

"Cai Xiang, Tong Shumi, no one of them wants to promote the Northern Expedition... They want to leave their name to future generations." Tie Tianying said, "But the group of people following them may not be. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Qin Xiang, who would have resigned for many years, and chased those people to beat him up, who would be willing to give in here and withdraw from the business with Liao Kingdom. Cai Xiang was also happy to see Qin Xiang and others become bigger. Qin Xiang was powerful, so he could go with the flow and tell his family that the emperor was determined to fight the Northern Expedition, and he would not afford to offend anyone's face..."

After he finished speaking, he sighed again: "But, in extraordinary times, how many people have you seen who have used such sharp means to end up having a good end? The Qin Xiangyi is probably more hated than the Li Xiangyi."

Zong Feixiao shook his head. When they talked about it as a national event, they were actually displeased with the intervention of the Secret Investigation Department. In the past, they were authoritative and were managed by the upper-level management of the Ministry of Justice. A small yamen that had only been established for a few years and had not reached a scale would dare to keep an eye on the side. Obviously, anyone would be unhappy.

"But this time the Secret Investigation Department investigated a little bit." After a while of silence, Zong Feixiao said.

Tie Tianying frowned: "Fine?"

"I transferred a lot of things from the nearby county government offices. They seemed to be trivial and didn't want to attract our attention. However, nearby yamen runners, the transfer of constables, and the injuries were all there. Some people mentioned that they had also checked the clinic for treatment in a nearby clinic... The people who handled this matter were arranged carefully, like veterans."

"We did things openly this time..." Tie Tianying said after pondering for a while, "What did they check and want to do?"

"Sikong Nan, Lin Zongwu, Wang Nanda..." Zong Feixiao said softly.

Tie Tianying's eyes were blurred, and she pondered for a moment, and she was with Zong Feixiaowang: "Can they afford to provoke me?"

"Since the incident in Liangshan last year, the attention of the secret detectives to Green Forest has been strengthened. They used to be without people, and they were also a scholarly spirit. They didn't care much about this, but now they are afraid there will be someone... Ning Yi, the inner demon."

"Hey..." Tie Tianying laughed, but did not make any comments after all.

"Don't underestimate him too much. After the Liangshan incident, the name of the inner demon spread throughout the green forests in the north. Last year alone, Liu Qing and the other side had five or six people who knew about it went to the capital and wanted to assassinate him to become famous. They all fell into the sea."

Among the seven chief arresters of the Ministry of Justice, Liu Qinghe was the headmaster in charge of the capital. What he said was naturally powerful. Tie Tianying shook his head: "The power of the right prime minister. If the ordinary people go to the capital, this fate is naturally not related to Ning Yi's ability. When I look at the Liangshan affairs, this person is fierce and full of tricks. However, he acts and still manipulates the scholarly style of others. I am afraid that it is just a strategist from the prime minister's mansion. Now that all parties intervene here, the situation is already chaotic. If he is a scholar, he will intervene in without knowing the height of the world... Hey, I don't know what the end will be."

Tie Tianying said this. Although he disagreed with the inner demon in his words, he actually understood the truth that he could not underestimate the other party. He had been in the public office for many years, but he understood the ruthlessness of Confucian scholars best.

The Green Forest Road lived a life of blood licking from a knife, but in many cases they still paid attention to morality. Confucian scholars who really wanted to do things would do everything they could. In particular, they read a lot of books, knew a lot of things, and acted unscrupulously, and they could not be prevented. The Liangshan incident was evidence that tens of thousands of people were directly crushed by a series of strategies. Although the secret investigation department was responsible for the matter and the Ministry of Justice did not intervene much, Tie Tianying and others could also know the pros and cons of it. Many survivors were still scared after the incident. Later, the Green Forest was shocked and the name of the inner demon spread. Unlike ordinary people in the Green Forest, the other party was completely famous for their lives.

Although the Ministry of Justice is also official, no one dares to set up a plan for tens of thousands of lives. Those who can manipulate so many lives are either the military's actions on the battlefield or the Confucian scholars are doing things.

At this time, the participation of two chief inspectors of the Ministry of Justice in this place near Sipinggang is a force that any Green Forest forces will be shocked. However, Sikong Nan is the former saint of the Demon Sect. His men are back, and his martial arts are so high that no one dares to move. After that, there are shadows of the big family that will not dare to move. Although Fang Baihua is in a dilemma, it is also the embers of this rebellion that shocked Tiannan. It could shake the power of the court at the beginning, and even if it was at the end of the road, it should not be underestimated.

In such a situation, if the inner demon inserted his kick with an incredible strange mind, it would be an extremely unpredictable result for them. Although the Secret Investigation Department now has the power to supervise but does not have the power to command, who knows what the other party is thinking. The curves of Confucianism are about the whole body, and it is difficult to know what they really want to do.

The most important thing is that he also hates the feeling of being targeted and being attracted without causing any trouble. Especially when the other party is an inner demon.

After discussing this for a while, Zong Feixiao had finished eating and rested for a while, and was about to go out to investigate Fang Baihua's affairs. Suddenly, someone came to report: "A man who claimed to be a secret detective department was looking for a visit outside with a documentary of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion."

Tie Tianying and Zong Feixiao looked at each other, frowned, and thought: "Is it really here?"

They had thought that the Secret Detective Office would stare at everything in secret, but they didn't expect that the other party would suddenly come to the door for a visit.

The Secret Detective Department does not have much coercive power in the local area. Although Tie Tianying and Zong Feixiao can not let each other come in, they would rather offend gentlemen than offend villains. With the Secret Detective Department's actions, the leader of the inner demon will really refuse. Zong Feixiao brought the document and asked, "Who is here?"

After a closer look, I handed it over to Tie Tianying: "You deal with it first, I'll go out."

After looking at the name, the other party was a minister from the prime minister's mansion named Cheng Zhouhai. They were talking about Ning Yi just now, and the servants suddenly came to report it, and they couldn't help but think that what they came was the inner demon? At this time, they didn't treat it as a big deal. In fact, they just thought it was strange. Even if Ning Yi really came, they wouldn't really feel that it was serious.
