This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 199: I Won’t Speak First When Spring Comes (Part )
It has been a long time since Datong City has been as lively as it is today.

The streets were jammed with people, and many people came here after hearing the news:

"Let's go see the strange beasts?"

"What beast?"

"Monster!"

"There are monsters? Go, go, go!"

"."

In fact, many ordinary people don’t even know what exotic beasts are, but that doesn’t stop them from wanting to watch the fun.

The convoy carrying the corpses of the strange beasts was deliberately driving very slowly at the beginning, and later on it couldn't speed up even if it wanted to.

Both sides of the street were filled with people coming to watch the excitement.

A middle-aged man wearing a gray hat stood in the crowd, carefully observing the details of the two corpses of strange beasts on the truck bed, and sensing the remaining aura on them.

After a moment, he stepped out of the crowd, crossed several streets, and entered a small courtyard.

Walking into the room, the man in the gray hat picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.

The call was quickly connected:
"Hey?"

"I am 'Gray Pigeon'."

"please say."

"It has been confirmed that they are indeed the corpses of the Lightning Snow Leopard Beast and the Demonic Unicorn-Horned Tiger Beast raised by 'Beast King' Yu Longqing. According to my observation, the bodies of the two beasts were cut very neatly, which means that they were cut after death, and the fatal injuries should be inside the body. I noticed that the internal organs of the Demonic Unicorn-Horned Tiger Beast are basically intact, but a large part of the internal organs of the Lightning Snow Leopard Beast are missing, which may be the cause of its death. The Green-Faced Ghost may have mastered some means that can cause great damage inside the body, similar to internal explosion. The above is my observation."

"Okay, I have recorded everything. Thank you for your hard work."

After hanging up the phone, the man in the gray hat quickly left the courtyard.

He is a member of the intelligence organization "Wangyue Tower" in Datong Prefecture, codenamed "Gray Pigeon".

Wangyue Tower is the most powerful intelligence organization in Datong Prefecture and even in the entire Feng Province, so the Feng Province Ranking List it launched is the most recognized.

Previously, the Green-Faced Ghost was ranked ninth on the Feng Province Ranking List, which was rated by Wangyue Tower.

Now that the battle in the wilderness has shocked the entire Datong Prefecture, Wangyue Tower naturally needs to obtain relevant intelligence as soon as possible, and then update its own list to maintain its credibility while demonstrating its intelligence acquisition capabilities.

So in addition to sending the 'Gray Pigeon' to observe the corpses of the two strange beasts on the street, Wangyue Tower also sent people to contact the 'Shadow King' and the 'Cannon King' in order to obtain more detailed information about the battle in the wilderness.

On the street, the convoy drove into Datong District.

This is the 'central area' of Datong Prefecture. The General Inspection Office, the General Supervision Office, the General Office for Stopping Wars, the General Office for Internal Affairs, the Government Affairs Building and other administrative agencies are all located in this area.

As one of the three major families, the Zhang family’s mansion is also located in Datong District.

Only the families that can own a mansion in this district can be considered to have truly entered the upper class of Datong Prefecture.

After the convoy entered Datong District, the streets became much wider and the congestion was finally less severe.

Suddenly, a team of uniformed inspectors ran towards the convoy.

In a luxury car in the front, Shangguan Xiao asked the driver to stop.

As the car stopped, the entire convoy also slowly stopped.

Shangguan Xiao rolled down the car window and turned to look out.

A man wearing the captain's epaulettes saluted Shangguan Xiao:
"Sir Shangguan, I am Bi Zheng, the captain of the first brigade of the General Inspection Institute."

The captain of the First Brigade of the General Inspection Office was also an official appointed by the court, a 10th-level official, only one level lower than Shangguan Xiao, so Shangguan Xiao immediately opened the car door and got out to return the greeting:
"Captain Bi, what's going on?"

Zhang Zedong, who was also sitting in the car, got out and looked at Bi Zheng with a little nervousness.

Today can be said to be a very important moment for the Zhang family.

Be it showing off one's military power or taking advantage of another's might, the Zhang family stole the show today!

Since the death of patriarch Zhang Zongyang, the Zhang family has been suppressed by various forces for so long. Finally, they have a chance to show off their wealth and see hope for re-emergence.

So Zhang Zedong was very worried that something might go wrong at this time.

"Could it be that the Du family wants to suppress the Zhang family at this time?"

Many thoughts flashed through Zhang Zedong's mind.

"Deputy Inspector Yan, Deputy Garrison Commander Guan, and our Chief Inspector Du are in front, and they will be here soon."

Bi Zheng said.

Shangguan Xiao was startled when he heard this: "Deputy Supervisor Yan? The one from the provincial capital?"

"Correct."

Bi Zheng nodded.

Zhang Zongyang's death caused great rage in the provincial capital, and they immediately sent an investigation team, which was extremely luxurious.

The head of the investigation team is Yan Shijin, who is the deputy inspector of the Ministry of Supervision.

The Ministry of Supervision is in charge of a province's supervisory affairs. The Deputy Inspector is second only to the Inspector General and is also an official of the fourth rank, and a level 15 official, two levels higher than the deceased Zhang Zongyang, and at the same level as the garrison commander Bian Jing!

It has been almost a month since Yan Shijin brought the investigation team to Datong City, but there has been no major action.

But the more this happened, the more unsettling it became, because an official of Yan Shijin's level was extremely busy, and it was impossible for him to take a month off to go to Datong Prefecture for a 'vacation'.

Just today, Yan Shijin suddenly brought members of the investigation team to visit the General Inspection Office, and the Government Affairs Building immediately sent a deputy garrison commander to accompany them.

The entire General Inspection Office was on high alert!
As a result, Yan Shijin did not do anything after arriving at the General Inspection Office. He just sat down and chatted with the Chief Inspector Du Changhe for a few words. Then someone reported to him about the convoy on the street.

Yan Shijin suddenly had an idea and suggested coming to take a look at the convoy.

So this scene happened.

Bi Zheng, the captain of the first brigade of the General Inspection Institute, brought people to stop the convoy in advance and informed Zhang Jia and others of the matter.

"Brother Bi."

Zhang Zedong was from Zhige General Hospital. He had worked with Bi Zheng many times before and they had a certain personal relationship. So he stepped forward, came to Bi Zheng's side, and asked in a low voice:
"Can you tell me what the purpose of these adults coming here suddenly is?"

Seeing Zhang Zedong's earnest eyes, Bi Zheng also lowered his voice:

"It's not that I won't tell you, it's that I don't know either. I guess Chief Inspector Du and Deputy Garrison Commander Guan don't know what's going on either."

After saying that, he nodded to Zhang Zedong and Shangguan Xiao, then took his men to set up defenses around the area and began to clear the area.

At this time, all the people in the Zhang family got off the car, and they were a little uneasy after learning about this.

At this time, they couldn't leave, nor could they stay.

Ten minutes later, the people from the General Hospital completed the clearing of the area and organized a defense line on the periphery.

Apart from the convoy and the inspectors, there were no other pedestrians on the street.

"coming."

Shangguan Xiao was the calmest among everyone present. She was the first to notice the movement and spoke while looking ahead.

As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of people appeared at the street corner ahead.

The three people in the middle were all wearing dark blue robes with black clothes underneath.

The three men's dark blue robes are embroidered with cloud patterns, the two on the left and right have peacock patterns, and the person in the middle has a crane pattern.

The Great Blue Dynasty respected blue as the color, so the officials' uniforms were all blue in color, with different patterns used to distinguish the officials' ranks.

The first-class clerks did not have formal uniforms. Starting from the second-class subordinate officials, their uniforms were embroidered with not only cloud patterns but also insects and fish.

Officials of the third rank would have mountains and rivers embroidered on their official uniforms.

Officials of the fourth rank would have birds and beasts embroidered on their official uniforms.

The fifth-rank cabinet officials would have the sun, moon and stars embroidered on their official uniforms.

On the official uniform of the fourth-class officials, the golden pheasant represents the 14th-level officials, and the crane represents the 15th-level officials.

The official uniform of the man in the middle was embroidered with cranes, which meant that he was the highest official. In Datong Prefecture, only the garrison commander Bian Jingru could wear such an official uniform.

But this person is not Bian Jingru, so naturally he can only be Yan Shijin, the deputy inspector sent from the provincial capital.

On his left was Guan Zhao, the deputy garrison commander of Datong Prefecture, and on his right was Du Changhe, the chief inspector of the General Inspection Office.

The three of them were followed by a large group of officials, and they were surrounded by the official martial arts masters of the Zhige General Hospital for protection.

Shangguan Xiao and everyone from the Zhang family went to greet them.

"Meet Deputy Inspector Yan, Deputy Garrison Commander Guan, and Chief Inspector Du."

After the two sides approached, Shangguan Xiao and others were the first to salute.

"No need to be polite."

Yan Shijin has dark skin and a naturally dark face, and looks very serious. Coupled with his official position, people subconsciously feel fear in them.

However, his demeanor was very kind at this time, which made everyone in the Zhang family feel a little more at ease.

"I heard that there was a convoy on the street displaying the corpses of two fifth-grade superior exotic beasts. I was curious and wanted to take a look. But I have never seen what a fifth-grade exotic beast looks like before."

Yan Shijin said with a smile.

Although he said so, no one present believed that the deputy inspector was really here to see the corpse of the strange beast.

"Come on, take me to see it."

Yan Shijin said.

So the Zhang family and others made way, and Shangguan Xiao and several leaders of the Zhang family accompanied this group of important figures towards the convoy.

The crowd quickly came to the front of the convoy, and Yan Shijin looked closely at the two heads in the trunk of the first heavy truck.

After a moment, he asked:
"What kind of strange beasts are these two?"

The surrounding area suddenly became quiet.

Shangguan Xiao saw that no one spoke, so she stepped forward:
"My lord, these two are the Lightning Snow Leopard Beast and the Demonic Unicorn Tiger Beast."

Yan Shijin turned and looked at her:

"You are Shangguan Xiao, the current head of Xingcheng Zhigeyuan, right?"

"Correct."

Shangguan Xiao nodded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Please accept my condolences regarding your father's matter."

Yan Shijin suddenly said solemnly.

Shangguan Xiao was startled and bowed again: "Thank you, sir."

"Well, then please introduce these two strange beasts to me."

Yan Shijin pointed at the two heads on the carriage.

So Shangguan Xiao roughly introduced to the other party the characteristics and combat power of the Thunder Snow Leopard Beast and the Demonic Unicorn Tiger Beast.

"So, most Dao Foundation Stage experts cannot defeat these two strange beasts?"

Yan Shijin asked after listening.

"Correct."

Shangguan Xiao nodded.

"Then who killed these two strange beasts?"

Yan Shijin asked.

Hearing this, everyone present had different expressions.

At first, many people thought that the deputy inspector suddenly came to see some strange beast, and he must be coming for the Zhang family.

But now it seems that the other party has other purposes?

The street was quiet and everyone's eyes were focused on Shangguan Xiao, waiting for her to say that name.

"These two exotic beasts were sent by a company in Xingcheng, and they asked our Zhang family to help deal with them."

Shangguan Xiao said to Yan Shijin.

"A company in Xingcheng?"

Yan Shijin showed an interested look, "What kind of company can actually kill two such strange beasts?"

As he said this, he turned and looked at a sturdy man behind him:

"Fan Yan, can you do it?"

This man named Fan Yan was a famous martial arts master in the provincial capital, nicknamed 'Dragon-Splitting Hand'. His famous battle was a one-on-one fight in which he killed a top-grade fifth-grade dragon beast!

On the Feng Province Ranking List released by Wangyue Tower, Fan Yan ranked sixth and was a 5.5-level Dao Foundation Stage powerhouse!
"My Lord, I am not sure."

Fan Yan clasped his fists and answered honestly.

"Even you are not sure. It seems that the person who killed these two beasts is not simple. Is there such a person in Xingcheng?"

Yan Shijin asked.

Shangguan Xiao remained silent.

Because the Green-Faced Ghost's identity is shameful and he is currently wanted by the Datong Prefecture government, on the surface, the Qingyuan Urban Management Company has no relationship with the Green-Faced Ghost. The company's chairman is Liu Saner.

Even though Shangguan Xiao and the Zhang family benefited from the Green-faced Ghost, they could not admit in public that they were allies of the Green-faced Ghost.

Everyone present had different expressions.

Just when Zhang Zedong was about to say something to stop the awkward situation, the warrior Fan Yan suddenly spoke up:

"My Lord, I have heard of this."

"Oh?"

Yan Shijin looked at Fan Yan and said, "Tell me about it."

"I am also half a Jianghu man, and I have always paid attention to the affairs of the Jianghu. Not long ago, Wangyue Tower updated the Feng Province's list of powerful people, and there was one more person on the list, nicknamed Green-faced Ghost, ranked ninth."

Fan Yan said slowly in a dull voice, "In the past two days, there have been rumors in the martial arts world that the Green-Faced Ghost was surrounded and attacked by five Dao Base Stage experts and two strange beasts, but in the end he killed four Dao Base Stage experts and two strange beasts. Those two strange beasts are the two you see now, sir."

"Is there such a thing?"

Yan Shijin showed a surprised look, "This green-faced ghost is so powerful?"

Fan Yan clasped his fists and said, "I didn't quite believe it at first, but after seeing the corpses of these two strange beasts with my own eyes today, I have no choice but to believe it."

"Green-Faced Ghost"

Yan Shijin pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at Du Changhe, "Master Du, when I went to your place before, I saw a wanted list, and the person at the top of the list seemed to be called the Green-Faced Ghost. Are these two the same person?"

coming!

Everyone present was perked up, knowing that the most crucial part of today's 'play' was coming.

Du Changhe looked at Yan Shijin calmly:
"Master Yan, this Green-Faced Ghost is just a code name. No one knows its true identity and appearance yet, so it is not possible to determine whether the person who killed the two beasts is the same person as the wanted person."

He still didn't know what Yan Shijin was up to, so he played it safe and didn't say anything final.

It turns out that the adults were right to be cautious.

Yan Shijin then said:

"Master Du is right. If we only know a code name and don't know the real appearance and identity, it is indeed difficult to judge. But if this is the case, if someone appears in Datong City wearing this green-faced ghost mask, will the Inspection Office arrest him or not?"

There will be another chapter later
