Chapter 184 Raid
"presumptuous?"

In the courtyard of the Chen Mansion, Lu Sheng looked at Chen Yujing without any fear:

"I, the Inspection Office, handle cases according to the law, and you say I am presumptuous? How dare your Chen family defy the law?!"

Chen Yujing narrowed his eyes. Lu Sheng's attitude was beyond his expectations.

Why does the Inspection Office dare to be so tough?

"Arrests!"

Lu Sheng stopped talking nonsense and waved his hand, signaling his team members to start arresting people.

Chen Yujing suppressed his anger and said, "Lu Sheng, we have really fallen out. Are you sure that the acting inspector general can handle this?!"

He put emphasis on the word 'agent'.

Lu Sheng looked at him and said, "Chen Yujing, the Chen family has committed many crimes. You should think about how the Chen family will end up."

Chen Yujing sneered and said nothing more.

Ten minutes later, Lu Sheng took a total of eleven people away from Chen's house.

The last time the Inspection Office arrested someone directly from the Chen family was because Li Fei was attacked. That time, only an ordinary manager was arrested from the Chen family.

Although I lost some face, it was not too serious.

But this time, among the eleven people arrested, five were core members of the Chen family!

This is not just a slap in the face, it's a declaration of war!

So after Lu Sheng left, the Chen family began to exert their influence with all their strength.

Inspection House.

Office of the Inspector General.

The first call Li Lei received was from the director general's office.

"Hey?"

"Chief Inspector Li, I'm Cui Ding."

"Secretary Cui, what's going on?"

Li Lei asked calmly.

Cui Ding is the secretary of Lan Changqun, the new chief of Xingcheng. He was transferred here with Lan Changqun and is a true confidant.

"I heard that the Inspection Office suddenly sent people to the Chen family to arrest many people. Chief Lan is very concerned about this matter, so he asked me to make a phone call to ask about it."

Cui Ding said slowly, "I wonder what the Chen family has done wrong? Has the Supervisory Office obtained solid evidence?"

Li Lei also said in a leisurely tone: "We have already obtained some key evidence, and we arrested the people for further investigation. The Chen family is involved in many murders, and the nature of the case is very bad, so the Supervision Office must take drastic measures."

"That means there is no conviction yet, right?"

Cui Ding asked.

"There are procedures for handling cases. If we can convict directly, then what is the point of our Inspection Office? Don't you agree, Secretary Cui?"

Li Lei asked back.

"Hahaha, Chief Inspector Li is right. I was too abrupt."

Cui Ning's tone softened, and then he changed the subject and said:

"But the Chen family has made great contributions to Xingcheng after all. If there is no solid evidence, I hope the Inspection Office can release them as soon as possible. This is what Chief Lan meant."

Li Lei also smiled and said, "Of course, please tell Chief Lan that the Inspection Office will definitely handle the case according to the law and will never mess around."

Then the two hung up the phone and Li Lei fell into deep thought in the office.

The Chen family and the new chief Lan Changqun are indeed very close. It’s not because the Chen family is so powerful that they have already won over a chief, but because Lan Changqun wants to maintain a balance.

Now the Supervisory Office and the Office of Stopping War are obviously on the same front. The Supervisory Office is the force left behind by Gu Zhenhui, and because of Li Fei's relationship, it is also on good terms with Li Lei.

The status of the Court of Justice has always been very transcendent. After the Judicial Yuan was reshuffled, the most upright Han Zhangwen was promoted to chief judge (see Chapter 95 of Volume for details).

Under the influence of Han Zhangwen, the Judicial Yuan is now impartial and basically able to enforce the law impartially.

As a result, of the six academies in Xingcheng, the new chief Lan Changqun can only influence one of the Internal Affairs Academy.

He naturally had to find a way to win over the Chen family, otherwise the "ecology" of Xingcheng would be unbalanced, and as the chief minister, he might have to act according to the wishes of others.

Of course Li Lei couldn't completely ignore Lan Changqun's words. After all, the other party was his immediate superior, and he was still an "acting" inspector general for the time being. Lan Changqun had some say in whether he could be promoted to a permanent position in the future.

After the call from the Director-General's Office, the Inspection Office received several calls from the Interior Affairs Office:

Someone called the Main Military Department and said that the batch of training bullets that the Inspection Office applied for last month could not be reported for the time being.

Someone called from the main household department and said that the budget of the Inspection Office might be reduced next quarter.

There was also a call from the Chief Personnel Department, saying that the annual evaluations of several squadron leaders needed to be reviewed again.
Although the Supervisory Office is a military agency, it can be very confident if it really comes to a head-on conflict with someone.

But everyone is working under the same system, and it is too easy for them to hinder each other. The system of the Great Blue Dynasty has determined from the very beginning that collective forces such as the Supervisory Office, the Office of Stopping War and the City Guards can never operate independently.

Funding, equipment supply, wages, promotion evaluation, etc., these are all areas where the Ministry of the Interior can influence the Inspection Ministry.

When people from every department called the Inspection Office, the influence of the Chen family was truly revealed.

Not long after, Li Lei received another call, this time from the Supervisory Commission:
"Brother Li, I'm Cheng Bi."

Cheng Bi was the one who made Li Fei a secret inspector and was the confidant of the former chief Gu Zhenhui.

Before Gu Zhenhui stepped down, he made some special arrangements to leave a way out for his people in the Supervisory Yuan. Cheng Bi was also promoted to the position of Chief Secret Envoy, becoming a big shot second only to the President of the Supervisory Yuan, a level 10 official, and an official appointed by the imperial court.

"Brother Cheng, what's the matter?"

Li Lei asked.

"Just now, someone from the Supervisory Office wanted to investigate several captains and squadron leaders of the Supervision Office, but I suppressed them."

Cheng Bi said.

"Oh?"

Li Lei narrowed his eyes.

The Supervisory Commission has the authority to supervise all officials, and can always find problems as long as it is willing.

In this era, there are no "perfect" officials. Even the most upright and incorruptible people can still be found to have various problems, because the system itself is imperfect and has various loopholes.

Therefore, if the Supervisory Commission really wants to target the Inspection Commission, problems can be found from the acting Chief Inspector Li Lei to the most ordinary team leader.

Of course, Li Lei asked himself if he had any big handles that could be used by others, and even if some minor problems were found out, he would not be seriously hurt.

However, some of his subordinates really may not be able to withstand investigation.

The Supervisory Council’s reaction was naturally part of the Chen family’s counterattack.

Compared with the constraints from the Ministry of the Interior, this counterattack is truly fierce!

Fortunately, Li Lei also has allies in the Supervisory Commission.

After Gu Zhenhui stepped down, the forces he left in the Supervisory Yuan chose to form an alliance with Li Lei, so Cheng Bi has been very close to Li Lei for the past six months.

"Thanks, Brother Cheng."

Li Lei thanked.

"You're welcome, Brother Li. How's the progress?"

Cheng Bi asked.

Li Lei had discussed this with Chen family before taking any action.

"The people we have arrested are being interrogated. We are still missing a few key figures, and then the chain of evidence will be complete."

Li Lei said.

Cheng Bi: "Okay, as long as you succeed, I can start right away!"

"it is good."

Li Lei hung up the phone and then he made a call.

A few minutes later, Lu Sheng walked into his office.

"Inspector General."

"Old Lu, lead the team to Chen Village!"

"it is good."

Lu Sheng nodded.

In the past few days, the Inspection Office has been secretly investigating Chencun based on the information provided by Li Fei, and found many problems during the investigation.

The Chen family was relatively low-key in Xingcheng, but in Chen Village they were complete local tyrants, acting arrogantly and domineeringly, and committed many crimes. The charges that Lu Sheng mentioned when he went to the Chen family to arrest people were not made up by him, but were true.

So now he has to go to Chencun to capture a few key figures.

"Xiao Fei will go with you this time."

A smile appeared on Li Lei's face.

"Xiao Fei? He's back?"

Lu Sheng was stunned.

"Well, I'm back from vacation."

"It's still risky for Xiaofei to go."

Lu Sheng didn't know about Li Fei's deeds, so he couldn't help but remind him.

Once bitten, twice shy.

He had taken his son with him at the time, but the tragedy that ensued left a shadow in his heart that had never left him.

"Don't worry, Xiaofei is very powerful now."

Li Lei said with a smile, a look of pride on his face.

Li Fei defeated a Qi Bian period master who had taken the Limit Breaking Pill on the Dragon and Tiger Stage. With such combat power in Xingcheng, no one would be able to defeat him unless he met a Daoji period master!
So Li Lei was still very confident about this operation.

"That's good."

Lu Sheng stopped talking nonsense and turned to walk out of the office.

Soon, all members of the first brigade, which had the strongest combat effectiveness, of the Xingcheng Inspection Office gathered together.

In addition, Zhigeyuan also sent help, including one regular martial artist, four martial artists and fifteen warriors in the body-breaking stage.

Soon, everyone got on the bus, and one van after another drove out of the gate of the Inspection Office.

When the convoy was about to leave the city, a car caught up with the convoy and left the city together.

In the car, Li Fei was driving and Li Tianyu was sitting in the passenger seat.

Li Fei only told Li Lei that he would go along this time, but he did not tell Li Lei that Li Tianyu would also go.

Li Tianyu has now reached the late stage of body breaking. If he wants to break through, he must go through the test of life and death. That’s why Li Fei wanted to take this opportunity to take Li Tianyu to Chen Village.

With his current strength, returning to Xingcheng will feel like a max-level character coming back to rebuild a novice village dungeon.

He had enough confidence to protect Li Tianyu.

"My dad really doesn't know? Then won't he scold us to death when we go back?"

Only then did Li Tianyu realize that Li Lei didn't know about this.

"Then do you want to go back now?"

Li Fei turned to look at her and asked with a smile.

"No return!"

Li Tianyu looked excited, "When we get there, if a fight really breaks out, don't attack casually. Don't scare people away. Keep it for me."

"Row."

Li Fei looked ahead and said calmly.

The direction the convoy was heading out of the city was opposite to the direction where Chen Village was located. After driving for a while and making sure that no one was following them, the convoy suddenly turned and headed towards the direction where Chen Village was located.

There was no conversation along the way. After driving for more than two hours, the convoy arrived near Chen Village.

The road ahead is narrow and rugged, making it impossible to drive.

So everyone got off the bus and walked towards Chen Village.

The masters of Zhigeyuan walked in the front to act as scouts. If they met any villagers along the way, they would control them all and not give the other side a chance to tip off.

It was not until the main force was only two kilometers away from Chen Village that the alarm was finally triggered and the village responded.

"Everyone, run forward!"

Lu Sheng, who led the team, gave the order decisively.

Hundreds of people quickly ran towards Chencun.

Soon, the experts from Zhigeyuan, who were running in the front, rushed into the village first:
"Everyone, don't move. Put your hands on your head and squat on the ground!"

He shouted and fired into the air.

For these villagers, the deterrent effect of guns is much stronger than that of swords.

The village suddenly fell into chaos.

These warriors from the Zhige Academy quickly dispersed and surrounded the entire Chen Village to prevent anyone from escaping.

Li Fei and Li Tianyu also walked into this large village.

Li Fei held a ghost-slaying knife in his hand, while Li Tianyu held a red tasseled spear in his hand.

This is her weapon.

"What's next?"

Li Tianyu asked Li Fei subconsciously.

Li Fei pointed to a building in the distance and said with a smile:

"That should be the residence of an important person in Chen Village. Do you dare to go straight into Longtan?"

"What's wrong with this!"

After saying that, Li Tianyu rushed over there with a gun.

Li Fei followed behind easily.

Soon, Li Tianyu arrived outside the building that Li Fei had just pointed to.

The outer wall is very high, and there is even a bunker inside!

Li Tianyu did not hesitate. He took a running start, accelerated, pushed his foot against the courtyard wall, and easily jumped over the four-meter-high wall.

Li Fei followed behind her, without even a running start, but just "lightly" jumped, as if he had crossed a threshold, and jumped into the wall.

"who?!"

As soon as the two landed, they heard loud shouting coming from all around.

Several guards armed with knives and crossbows were guarding near the courtyard wall.

"The Inspectorate is investigating the case! Everyone, put down your weapons immediately and squat down with your head in your hands!"

Li Tianyu shouted majestically, holding a spear.

"I'll squat on your mother's side!"

"killed--"

brush--

brush--

The two guards pulled the trigger of the crossbow without hesitation and shot two arrows at Li Fei and Li Tianyu.

Since ancient times, imperial power has never extended to the countryside. In such poor and remote areas, local tyrants have the greatest say.

For example, in Chen Village, many people only recognize the word "Chen". As for the laws of the court, they do not exist at all!

Li Fei easily dodged the arrow, but Li Tianyu was shocked as he didn't expect the other party to attack him as soon as he said so.

When the arrow was about to hit her face, she swung the spear in her hand and deflected the arrow in time.

The gun is the most difficult of all cold weapons, but Li Tianyu chose to practice gun skills after entering Wuhan University.

Besides because she likes it, it's also because she is really talented in shooting.

When she was in middle school, her martial arts skills were the best in the Zhige Department, showing extraordinary talent.

After entering Wuhan University, this talent blossomed further.

Seeing that the other party was going to continue shooting arrows, a fierce look appeared in Li Tianyu's eyes.

Her dream is to become a female general of the Great Blue Dynasty.

Now is the first battle of the future female general!
Facing the incoming arrows, Li Tianyu rushed forward with a gun.
