This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 200: Spring Comes, I Won’t Speak First (Part )
If someone wearing a green-faced ghost mask appears in Datong City, will the Inspection Office arrest him or not?
This question made Shangguan Xiao's eyes change, and she looked suddenly at Du Changhe.

"This"

Du Changhe's eyes flickered as he observed Yan Shijin's expression and asked:
"What do you think, Lord Yan?"

Yan Shijin pointed at the two strange beast heads on the carriage and said loudly:

"Master Du, look, this green-faced ghost that Fan Yan mentioned is so powerful. What if he is not the same person as the wanted one? If the General Inspection Office sends people to catch him, wouldn't it cause a big disturbance?"

Du Changhe opened his mouth to speak, but Yan Shijin waved his hand to stop him:
"Of course, the General Inspection Office is responsible for maintaining the public security of the capital. If there are criminals who really commit crimes and violate the laws of our Great Blue Dynasty, no matter how powerful they are, they must be severely punished! However, if it is really a misunderstanding and the target is wrong, wouldn't the General Inspection Office lose manpower in vain and force a powerful warrior to rebel? This is a loss for our Great Blue Dynasty!"

Du Changhe had to nod: "Master Yan is right."

Yan Shijin continued:
"Also, as long as the identity of this green-faced ghost is not confirmed, someone could impersonate him any day. All they need to do is wear an identical mask. If such a person appears on the wanted list, it might be easy for someone with ulterior motives to use him as a pretext. I think this is inappropriate."

He had previously referred to himself as "I", but suddenly he referred to himself as "this official". Although his tone did not change, all the officials present immediately became nervous.

After all, he is a deputy inspector general. In theory, he has the power to investigate all officials in Datong Prefecture from top to bottom!
"Lord Yan is teaching me that I indeed neglected this point."

Du Changhe simply bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"Hey, I'm just giving you some suggestions, don't be so nervous, Master Du."

Yan Shijin suddenly laughed.

Du Changhe did not relax because of this, and said decisively:
"I will order the cancellation of the arrest warrant for the Green-Faced Ghost right now. I will issue another arrest warrant after I find out his true identity."

The investigation team has been in Datong City for a month and there has been no movement, but that doesn't mean there will be no movement forever. Du Changhe doesn't want to be the first to be exposed, so he chose to revoke the wanted order without hesitation.

When things got to this point, everyone could see that Yan Shijin was trying to win over the Green-faced Ghost.

The meaning behind his action is something that people cannot help but think deeply about.

"Since the wanted Green-Faced Ghost was the one who killed someone in Xingcheng, let Xingcheng investigate first and then report to Datong Prefecture."

Yan Shijin made another suggestion.

"Master Yan is right. Let's do this."

Du Changhe is quick to accept advice.

Shangguan Xiao and the Zhang family members on the side were overjoyed when they heard this.

As an ally, the Green-Faced Ghost's biggest problem is that his identity is shameful.

People like the 'Beast King', 'Cannon King', 'Poison King', etc., although many of their private businesses are shady and they have done a lot of illegal things, but in public they are all celebrities, either presidents of chambers of commerce or chairmen of famous companies.

The 'Beast King' Yu Longqing even holds the title of 'Charity Ambassador' of Datong Prefecture.

When the Green-Faced Ghost confronts these forces, he is at a disadvantage first of all because of his identity.

A vivid example of this was when Yu Longqing used his influence in the government to put the Green-Faced Ghost on Datong Prefecture’s wanted list.

But now after what Yan Shijin said, the Green-Faced Ghost can now appear openly in Datong City!
Yan Shijin asked Xingcheng to find out the true identity of the Green-Faced Ghost before reporting it, but who among those present didn't know that Xingcheng was now the base camp of the Green-Faced Ghost?

If we ask Xingcheng to investigate, I'm afraid they won't find any results even if they search for a hundred years.

After seeing Du Changhe's statement, Yan Shijin turned around and looked at Shangguan Xiao:

"I came here specifically for your father's matter. I wanted to wait until the murderer was brought to justice before I went to pay my respects to Zhang the Helmsman in person. But since we happened to meet today, could you take me to pay my respects?"

Hearing this, the Zhang family members almost couldn't help laughing out loud!

Yan Shijin first solved the identity problem for the Green-faced Ghost today, and now he proposed to visit Zhang Zongyang in person to pay tribute to him. This attitude is too obvious.

The goodwill offered by this deputy inspector is like timely help to the Zhang family today!

"Of course, I thank Lord Yan on behalf of my father."

Shangguan Xiao bowed to Yan Shijin.

Yan Shijin held her hand and said, "No need to be polite, we..."

Before he could finish his words, Shangguan Xiao suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled him away from where he was!
At the same time Shangguan Xiao took action, Fan Yan on the side burst out with a burst of red force, turned around and punched into the air.

boom!
boom--

The red fist force was like a long red rainbow, colliding with an incoming bullet and smashing the bullet into pieces!

"Lord be careful!"

"There is an assassin—"

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

Some people screamed, some looked for places to hide, and some rushed towards Yan Shijin.

Shangguan Xiao activated the Lan Gang Jin and transformed it into a strong wind, wrapping herself and Yan Shijin together to prevent any more bullets from coming.

Fan Yan stepped up to the two of them and looked around with the same wary look on his face.

Just now, he and Shangguan Xiao sensed almost at the same time that a bullet was shot towards Yan Shijin, so one of them pulled Yan Shijin away, and the other used his fist to smash the bullet.

It's not just warriors with extraordinary abilities like 'Danger Sense' who can sense danger in advance. Warriors' perception is very sharp, and the higher the realm, the more so. It's just that warriors with similar extraordinary abilities are stronger in this regard.

Yan Shijin's expression was relatively calm, and he watched the reactions of the people at the scene calmly.

At this time, the registered martial artists around had already come over and used their full strength to block the officials.

The inspectors outside also came over, forming a human wall, with their guns pointed at the surroundings.

"Bi Zheng, take people to arrest him immediately!"

Du Changhe's face became extremely ugly, and he yelled at the first captain Bi Zheng.

Although Yan Shijin came here today on a whim, the General Inspection Office and the General Stopping War Office did not dare to be careless about the security of the group.

The murder of Zhang Zongyang has already happened. If any accident happens to the members of the investigation team again, the garrison commander Bian Jingru may have to resign!

Despite all the precautions, an assassin still jumped out and shot Yan Shijin.

How could this not make Du Changhe furious?
"Sir, let's take shelter inside first."

Fan Yan said to Yan Shijin.

Yan Shijin waved his hands, and his already dark face looked even darker.

He said coldly:

"Hide? In broad daylight, as an official of the imperial court, how could I be afraid of a mere assassin?!"

He didn't intend to hide indoors, so he just stood there.

After hearing this, Fan Yan stopped trying to persuade him.

With him around, he didn't think anyone could hurt Yan Shijin with a gun from a long distance.

If the assassin really wants to kill him, he must get to Yan Shijin himself!
After a brief panic, the situation quickly returned to order.

There were no more gunshots, and no assassins actually came towards this side.

"Lord Yan!"

Du Changhe came to Yan Shijin under the protection of two regular martial artists and asked, "What happened today."

"Has the assassin been caught?"

Yan Shijin interrupted Du Changhe without any hesitation.

Du Changhe's face changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I have sent people to catch him. I will definitely give you an explanation!"

"Okay, I'll wait for your explanation."

After Yan Shijin finished speaking, he turned and left.

This scene made many officials present change color.

Du Changhe had a gloomy expression on his face. He turned around and gave an order. Several teams of inspectors and several registered martial artists followed him.

"Shangguan Xiao."

Yan Shijin suddenly spoke.

Shangguan Xiao has been following the other party, and the Lan Gang Jin has not been withdrawn yet.

"The subordinate is here."

"Thank you for saving me just now."

Yan Shijin said.

Shangguan Xiao was startled and said, "I am doing my duty, so I don't deserve your thanks."

"Hahaha."

Yan Shijin laughed, and his expression, which was as dark as a pot, eased a little.

He stopped and turned to look at Shangguan Xiao:
"I have to go to Zhang's house now. Can you guarantee my safety?"

Hearing this, all the Zhang family members present couldn't help but breathe heavier.

Shangguan Xiao's eyes were cold and she said firmly:
"can!"

"Okay, lead the way."

"Yes."

So Yan Shijin got into the Zhang family's car with his entourage and several officials from the investigation team.

The convoy continued on.

This time, people from the Inspection General Hospital and the Stop-Gong General Hospital cleared the area and set up tight defenses on the periphery.

Ten minutes later, the convoy arrived smoothly at the street where Zhang's residence was located without encountering any accidents along the way.

While the Zhang family arranged for people to transport the bodies of the two strange beasts into the Zhang Mansion, they accompanied Yan Shijin to pay tribute to Zhang Zongyang.

Not long after Yan Shijin finished his memorial service and led his men away, the Zhang family received news. "The assassin who shot and killed Lord Yan today was caught by the people of the General Inspection Office, but they only caught a corpse."

The person who came to report the news said to the Zhang family's leaders.

"died?"

Shangguan Xiao frowned.

"Yes, it is said that the assassin saw that he had no chance to escape and decisively chose to commit suicide!"

"What are the details? Doesn't he have any accomplices?"

"We have not found any accomplices of the other party yet. The assassin fired a shot at Lord Yan with a modified rifle from more than 500 meters away, and then immediately withdrew."

"Death warrior."

Zhang Zedong made a judgment.

Being able to accurately hit the target from a distance of more than 500 meters shows his remarkable marksmanship, but it is simply impossible to kill a court official with such an assassination.

The assassin fired once and ran away, apparently intending to disrupt the situation.

"What is the identity of the assassin?"

Zhang Zedong asked.

"Still checking."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Keep going to get the news."

"Yes."

The person who inquired about the news left.

Only Shangguan Xiao, the heads of each department, and the elders of the Zhang family were left in the hall.

"Everyone."

Zhang Zongming, the head of the second house, suddenly said, "Yan Shijin is clearly trying to win over our Zhang family today. What should we do next?"

"If we choose to stand on the side of the provincial capital, our Zhang family will probably have trouble taking a single step in Datong Prefecture in the future."

"Humph, when those families were dividing up our Zhang family, didn't Datong Prefecture just stand by and watch? Since they are ruthless, don't blame us for switching to another family!"

"The provincial capital sent an investigation team this time, and something like this happened today. I think the situation in Datong Prefecture will change in the future. It may be a good move for us to stand on the side of the provincial capital."

"Little did they know that the provincial capital was using our Zhang family as a pawn?"

"It's better to be a gun than to be eaten by others, right?"

"."

Just as a quarrel was about to break out, Shangguan Xiao stood up suddenly.

Following her action, everyone present shut up and looked at her.

Shangguan Xiao glanced coldly at everyone present:

"I said at the beginning that I just wanted to save the Zhang family. Now it seems that it has been saved. I am not interested in what you do next."

"Little sister."

Zhang Zedong hesitated to speak.

"but."

Shangguan Xiao hadn't finished speaking yet, "The key to the Zhang family's survival this time depends on who you all rely on. You should know very well. Today, Yan Shijin came to the provincial capital to win over the Zhang family. Do you think he is only trying to win over the Zhang family?"

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Zhang Zongming spoke.

Shangguan Xiao looked at him:

"I just want to remind you that from now on, how the Zhang family will move forward is not something you can decide together. You must respect the opinion of one person."

After saying that, she turned and walked out of the lobby.

She really didn't want to get involved in the dispute over family interests, but she would also do her best to fight for the interests that should be fought for Li Fei for her nephew.

In the lobby, the Zhang family members looked at each other.

Zhang Zongming's face looked a little ugly.

He had been strongly opposed to letting Shangguan Xiao take power in the Zhang family. Now Shangguan Xiao has made it clear that she does not want to be in power, but many things cannot be done without her, or in other words, without the ally behind her.

The Zhang family today must indeed respect the Green-faced Ghost's opinions.

Shangguan Xiao had not gone far from the gate of Zhang's house when someone ran up to her:
"Sir Shangguan, our master would like to invite you to meet him."

"Who is your master?"

Shangguan Xiao asked.

"Duanmu Hongjie."

"Yes, please."

Shangguan Xiao agreed decisively.

On April 4, Li Fei and Li Tianyu arrived in Datong City by train.

Chen Lixin did not return with the two of them. He wanted to stay in Xingcheng for a few months.

The courses at Wuhan University are very casual. As long as you get enough credits, you can graduate, so there is no requirement on students' class attendance.

It doesn’t matter if Chen Lixin doesn’t go to school for a few months.

Today, the Chen family has completely collapsed, but Chenjia Village has been run by the Chen family for many years, and the local villagers only recognize the Chen family. If another force were to take over, it would be difficult to manage.

So Li Fei planned to let Chen Lixin take over the Chen family's business, use the Chen family to manage the Chen family, and gradually turn Chenjia Village into his own business.

The 'Beast King' Yu Longqing is dead, and the exotic beast food business is a huge piece of cake. If Li Fei wants to get a piece of this cake, Chenjia Village is the key.

After returning to Datong City, Li Fei went to see Shangguan Xiao first.

"Master, I'm back."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Shangguan Xiao looked at Li Fei with satisfaction and said with emotion:

"It's being said outside that the Green-Faced Ghost is a seventh-tier Dao Foundation Stage expert. I'm the only one who knows that you're not even at the Dao Foundation Stage. Even if I tell anyone about this, no one will believe it."

Li Fei smiled: "It's all thanks to my teacher and my master's teaching."

"You."

Shangguan Xiao smiled and shook her head, "Duanmu Hongjie and I talked about this yesterday."

She started talking about business.

"What did he talk to you about?"

"This old fox has finally changed his mind and is willing to cooperate with us. In addition, he previously offered to pay 3 million to redeem Lou Yujun, but now he has changed it to 5 million."

"What a generous move."

Li Fei laughed.

Only Duanmu Hongjie, the richest man in Feng Province, could take out five million in cash just like that.

"What is his proposed cooperation plan?"

Li Fei asked.

Compared to the huge sum of five million, he cared more about the cooperation with the Duanmu family.

"Exotic beast rations."

Shangguan Xiao smiled and said, "In the future, the Duanmu family wants to buy exotic beast rations from us."

"Oh?"

Li Fei was stunned. "Yu Longqing is dead, and the Duanmu family didn't take any action?"

He originally thought that after the news of Yu Longqing's death came back, each family would immediately start to divide up the "Beast King's" assets and compete for the exotic beast food pie.

Now hearing what Duanmu Hongjie said, it seems that this "King of Gambling" has voluntarily given up the piece of cake of exotic beast rations?

"It's not just the Duanmu family. The Poison King, Cannon King, and Shadow King haven't made any moves either."

Shangguan Xiao smiled.

Then she informed Li Fei of the announcement released by "Shadow King" and told him what Yan Shijin said yesterday.

"I see."

Li Fei nodded.

I understand why each family is not in a hurry to divide up the piece of cake left by the Beast King.

The Green-Faced Ghost came back alive, and from then on he could appear openly in Datong City.

At this time, the first thing each family has to worry about is the revenge of the Green-faced Ghost. If they take the initiative to touch the other party's "trophies", they will probably be the first to be retaliated.

So even though Yu Longqing had been dead for several days, Datong Prefecture seemed very peaceful and no force took any action.

If I don't speak first in spring, which insect dares to make a sound? !
