Chapter 215 The Beast
May 5, the 13th year of Hongguang.

The leader of Tiefengmen, Gu Xianfeng, was suspected of colluding with Western spies and intending to rebel, and was killed on the spot by Wuhan University professor Xu Jing!

All the disciples and elders of Tiefengmen were arrested.

In Datong City, all Tiefeng Martial Arts Schools were closed down, and all the people in the Martial Arts School Association who were related to Tiefengmen were arrested.

In addition, all the underground boxing personnel related to Tiefengmen were also arrested.

At this point, the martial arts sect that had dominated Datong Prefecture for decades disappeared overnight!
When the news came out, the entire Datong Prefecture was shocked.

In a city like Datong, with Wu'an University as its headquarters, the power of the government has always been very strong. However, the sudden demise of a martial arts sect like Tiefengmen still makes many people in the martial arts world feel sad.

As soon as the news came back, the Green-faced Ghost King went from Qingmian Villa to Zhang's house.

Zhang Mansion.

In the room, Shangguan Xiao and the 'Green-faced Ghost' sat opposite each other, neither of them spoke.

Shangguan Xiao knew that the person opposite was a fake and was specially arranged by Li Fei.

In order to create a deception and make the "Beast King" Yu Longqing mistakenly believe that Qingyuan Urban Management Company was receiving the goods in Baiyang City, Li Fei not only arranged a group of people to rush to Baiyang City to pretend to receive the goods, but also asked people to pretend to be green-faced ghosts and show up in Baiyang City.

After annexing the power of the 'Beast King', in order to intimidate the 'Beast King's' scattered men in various places, Li Fei also had people disguised as Green-faced Ghosts and appeared in other places twice.

The man pretending to be the Green-Faced Ghost was from Qingyuan Fist Village and had followed Shangguan Xiao for decades. Like Xiang Du, he was Shangguan Xiao's most trusted confidant.

Even so, this person did not know the true identity of the Green-faced Ghost. He only knew that he pretended to be the Green-faced Ghost in order to cover up the Green-faced Ghost's true whereabouts.

Before going into seclusion, Li Fei told Shangguan Xiao that for the next ten days, the 'Green-faced Ghost' should stay in the Green-faced Villa every day and should appear in public once or twice.

It just so happened that today the Tiefeng Sect was destroyed, and such a great news came back, so Shangguan Xiao asked the 'Green-faced Ghost' to come from the Green-faced Villa to the Zhang Mansion to discuss matters with her.

However, when the two of them were in the same room, Shangguan Xiao couldn't really discuss matters with his subordinate, and they could only remain silent.

"I don't know how Xiaofei is doing now?"

Shangguan Xiao thought to herself, feeling a little worried.

Li Fei did not tell her in detail about the 'Ten-Day Breakthrough Method', but only said that his retreat this time was for the purpose of impacting the Dao Foundation Stage.

Although Shangguan Xiao didn't know the inside story, her common sense of martial arts made it impossible for her to imagine how one could achieve a breakthrough within ten days, so she couldn't help but worry about Li Fei, fearing that Li Fei would act too hastily and go astray.

After the two sat quietly in the room for a while, Shangguan Xiao stood up to see the other person off, and she herself returned to the government's guesthouse.

Not long after I sat down in the room, the phone on the table rang.

"Hey?"

Shangguan Xiao answered the phone.

"Master Shangguan, the matter you asked us to investigate has yielded results."

A man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

This person is the intelligence chief arranged by Qingyuan Urban Management Company in Datong Prefecture, responsible for gathering intelligence for the company in Datong Prefecture.

When Li Fei left Datong Prefecture and returned to Xingcheng, he handed over all the manpower left in Datong Prefecture to Shangguan Xiao, so Shangguan Xiao could also command the people of Qingyuan Urban Management Company in Datong Prefecture.

That night, she got the intelligence from the General Inspectorate from Li Fei. In addition to knowing the woman named Xiao Rui, she also found out who the most suspicious people in the Zhang family were.

After that, she pretended to contact these suspects unintentionally, trying to find out who poisoned Zhang Zongyang.

A week ago, Shangguan Xiao discovered some clues, so he asked the intelligence personnel under him to investigate some things for him, and now there are results.

"explain."

Shangguan Xiao subconsciously clenched the microphone in her hand.

"."

On the other end of the phone, the intelligence officer stated his investigation results.

After listening, Shangguan Xiao's eyes turned cold:

"Okay, I get it. Thank you for your hard work."

Snapped!
She hung up the phone heavily, and the murderous intent in her eyes could no longer be hidden.

That night, Shangguan Xiao walked into a teahouse and sat quietly in an elegant room.

A moment later, a young man who looked somewhat similar to her pushed the door open.

"aunt."

When he saw Shangguan Xiao, he called her affectionately with a smile on his face.

This man's name is Zhang Shiwei, and he is from the second branch of the Zhang family.

According to seniority, he should call Shangguan Xiao Aunt.

Zhang Shiwei is 29 years old this year and is a martial artist in the early stage of Qi transformation. From the perspective of aptitude, he can only be considered average, and it is basically impossible for him to break through to the Dao foundation stage in this lifetime.

Knowing that he had no hope in martial arts, Zhang Shiwei focused all his attention on career advancement in official circles. Currently, he is a fourth-level executive officer and a ninth-level official at the Zhige General Hospital.

Among the younger generation of the Zhang family, Zhang Shiwei is one of the people with the highest official position.

But he is not the direct grandson of Zhang Zongming from the second house, so the support he can get is limited. In addition, his cultivation is not enough, so the fourth-level executive officer is almost the pinnacle he can reach in his life.

However, as a fourth-level executive, he has considerable power, as he is responsible for the allocation and distribution of pills.

The sources of elixirs for the Zhige Academies in various places come from two parts: one part is made by themselves, and the other part is obtained from the Zhige Headquarters.

Zhang Shiwei was responsible for allocating and distributing the elixirs to the Zhigeyuan below.

Because his name was on the suspect list given by the General Inspectorate, Shangguan Xiao found an opportunity to contact the other party.

The distribution and issuance of elixirs seem to have relevant rules and regulations, but in fact there is a lot of room for maneuver.

Delays in distribution, poor quality of distributed pills, shortage of quantity, etc., these are all things that Zhang Shiwei, the executive, can control.

He has a hundred ways to reduce the amount of pills that the Zhigeyuan below gets every month, and the other party can't do anything to him!
So there are many points where you can make profits.

Shangguan Xiao originally wanted to find Zhang Shiwei and talk to him about the issue of the future distribution of pills in Xingcheng, so as to get closer to him and see if he could find any flaws.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she found Zhang Shiwei, he was very enthusiastic. She didn't even need to ask for anything. He had already arranged everything for her:
"Don't worry, auntie. You will get the lion's share of the profits in Xingcheng in the future!"

If it were just that, it would be fine. However, what really made Shangguan Xiao suspicious was that during the conversation, Zhang Shiwei vaguely revealed that he had another very secret channel of profit, which was to sell some of the pills in exchange for money or other resources.

So Shangguan Xiao asked the intelligence personnel below to investigate the news based on the information he had obtained.

Today, she got the result and made another appointment with Zhang Shiwei in the evening.

"Shiwei, you said last time that if I could give you the share of the elixirs that the eldest wife controls, you would be able to get more profit in return?"

Shangguan Xiao went straight to the point.

"Of course."

Zhang Shiwei looked at Shangguan Xiao with a bit of surprise, then he suddenly realized something and said excitedly:

"Has Aunt decided to take action against the eldest wife?"

"Action on the eldest wife?"

Shangguan Xiao frowned slightly.

Zhang Shiwei's face changed slightly, and he quickly said, "I was too talkative!"

Then he lowered his voice and said, "Aunt, the share of the elixir managed by the eldest house is the largest. If we can get it, our profit will be very large."

"Okay, I have a batch of pills in my hand right now. I'll give them to you to deal with first. This time I'm going to change into a level 3 protective suit."

Shangguan Xiao said.

The control over strategic resources such as level three protective clothing is quite strict. Based on some fragmentary information revealed by Zhang Shiwei before, she asked her subordinates to investigate and found out that there seemed to be a few level three protective clothing transactions in the market that were related to Zhang Shiwei.

So I specially asked Zhang Shiwei to come out tonight to test it out.

"Level 3 protective clothing? Aunt, this might be a bit difficult."

Zhang Shiwei looked embarrassed.

"If you can do this, I will give you all the medicinal resources from the first house."

Shangguan Xiao said calmly.

Zhang Shiwei's breathing immediately became rapid. He hesitated for a moment and looked at Shangguan Xiao:
"Okay, let me try!"

Shangguan Xiao narrowed her eyes and said calmly, "Okay, I'll give you the goods in three days."

"it is good."

Zhang Shiwei smiled and picked up the teacup on the table, "Come on, auntie, I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Shangguan Xiao picked up the teacup with a cold look in her eyes and gently clinked it with the other person:
"Pleasant to work with."

5 month 15 day.

It was the sixth day of Li Fei’s retreat and the third day of the destruction of Tiefengmen.

Datong Prefecture Government Building, the garrison commander's office.

Qu Xun, the Inspector General of the General Office of Supervision, pushed the door open and walked into the office.

Bian Jingru, who was reviewing the document, put down the document in his hand, frowned slightly and looked at the other party:

"what's up?"

"I found it!"

Qu Xun looked at Bian Jingru with a complicated expression. "The real murderer? From Tiefeng Sect? Has everything been arranged?"

Bian Jingru asked.

"No, we really found the real culprit."

Qu Xun said in a low voice.

From this conversation between the two, it is not difficult to see that Tie Fengmen was really wrongly killed.
"Ok?"

Bian Jingru's expression also changed, and she leaned forward slightly, "Who?"

"Take a look at this."

Qu Xun handed a document in his hand to Bian Jingru.

Bian Jingru took the document and read it carefully. After a moment, he slammed the document on the table with anger on his face:

"Why did you find out now?!"

Tiefengmen was dealt with, Gu Xianfeng was killed, and the real murderer was found.
Qu Xun was also helpless: "We had already included this person in the suspect list, but we have not been able to find any evidence. He just revealed a flaw and we discovered it."

"Can you be sure?"

Bian Jingru asked expressionlessly.

"As long as we catch the perpetrators and the evidence, we will definitely be able to close the case!"

Qu Xun said.

Bian Jingru seemed lost in thought.

After a moment, he looked at Qu Xun and said word by word: "Iron Front Sect must be involved in this matter!"

Upon hearing this, Qu Xun's expression became serious and he nodded:

"I understand what you mean. In fact, now that the real murderer has been found and Tiefengmen is brought into the picture, the whole thing seems more reasonable, and the investigation team will not be able to find any faults."

"Okay, let's do it."

Bian Jingru closed his eyes and said tiredly.

"Yes."

Qu Xun stood up and was about to leave the office.

"Don't let anything go wrong!"

When he was about to open the office door, Bian Jingru's stern voice suddenly came from behind him.

Qu Xun felt a chill on his back and said quickly, "Don't worry!"

After saying that, he left the office.

Soon, the powerful forces belonging to the government were secretly mobilized again.

A few days ago, this force destroyed a major martial arts sect.

Who knows who will be crushed next.

5 month 16 day.

The seventh day of Li Fei’s retreat.

That night, on a road outside Datong City.

A truck was parked on the side of the road with its lights on and a team of people standing guard around it.

In the jungle not far away, Shangguan Xiao was hiding in the dark in her nightgown and spying.

She transferred this truckload of goods from Xingcheng to Zhang Shiwei. In order to avoid Zhang Shiwei setting up a trap to frame her, most of the pills in this truck were fake!
Shangguan Xiao wanted to use this batch of fake goods to lure out the person behind Zhang Shiwei.

She wanted to see who Zhang Shiwei was making a deal with, and how could he even exchange it for a strategic resource like level 3 protective clothing?
So she secretly followed him out tonight.

If Zhang Shiwei really colluded with Western spies, then it is very likely that the other party really poisoned Zhang Zongyang!
Ten minutes later, a car came from the other end of the road and finally stopped in front of the truck.

Three people got off the car and negotiated with the people sent by Zhang Shiwei.

Soon, the two sides began to trade.

Just when Shangguan Xiao was about to rush forward and subdue everyone present, a sword light suddenly cut through the night sky and appeared above everyone's heads.

歘——

A piercing sonic boom rolled in from afar, a dazzling light appeared on the sword, and it seemed as if a full moon suddenly appeared in the sky above everyone's heads!
Seeing this full moon, Shangguan Xiao couldn't help but be attracted to it.

The moon is so beautiful, it seems to embody all the beauty in the world.

The next moment, Shangguan Xiao was startled, came to his senses, and realized that he was affected by magic.

"The radiance of the full moon in the dark night?!"

Shangguan Xiao recognized that this magic was one of the famous magics of Jiang Jin, the vice president of the Zhengfa General Hospital.

Why did Jiang Jin come here?
Then she saw figures rushing out from the darkness and pouncing on the two parties who were trading.

These people were influenced by Jiang Jin's 'The Brilliant Light of the Full Moon in the Dark Night' and were captured without any power to resist.

Shangguan Xiao narrowed her eyes and recognized that the people who suddenly rushed out were all registered martial artists of the Zhige Headquarters.

Therefore, the government is also aware of this transaction tonight.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Xiao took the initiative to walk out of the jungle.

"who?"

Several registered martial artists immediately turned around and looked at Shangguan Xiao.

The flying sword hanging in the sky also made a sword sound, and a sword intent locked onto Shangguan Xiao.

"It's me, Shangguan Xiao."

Shangguan Xiao said loudly, "The goods in the car are all fake. I deliberately facilitated this transaction tonight to lure out the person behind it."

"Did you deliberately facilitate this deal?"

At this moment, a deep voice came from the jungle not far away.

Shangguan Xiao turned around and looked.

A middle-aged man with narrow eyes and a long sword in his hand was walking towards this side.

This man's name is Fu Lang, and he is also the helmsman of the Zhige General Hospital. He has the best relationship with Zhang Zongyang on weekdays.

"Uncle Fu, you are here too."

Shangguan Xiao knew Fu Lang a long time ago. "You can check the pills in the car. Most of them are fake. I just want to lure out the person behind the scenes."

Upon hearing this, Fu Lang turned around and signaled to one of his subordinates, who immediately got into the car to check.

Ten minutes later, the official martial artist got off the car and nodded to Fu Lang: "Yes, it's very realistic. Most of the pills are fake."

Fu Lang's expression eased, and he said to Shangguan Xiao, "This matter is of great importance. You need to go back with us to the Zhige Headquarters to cooperate with the investigation."

"no problem."

Shangguan Xiao agreed without hesitation.

She also wanted to know the truth.

So soon, the group returned to Datong City.

That night, Shangguan Xiao stayed in the building of Zhige General Hospital.

The next morning, she was called in for questioning again.

This time the person asking the questions was still Fu Lang.

"Uncle Fu, have you found out anything? Is Zhang Shiwei colluding with Western spies? Is he the one who poisoned my father?"

Shangguan Xiao asked directly.

Fu Lang looked at Shangguan Xiao with a complicated expression:
"Zhang Shiwei did collude with Western spies, and he has confessed."

Shangguan Xiao clenched her fists, her eyes showing murderous intent: "Did he poison me?!"

Fu Lang carefully observed Shangguan Xiao's expression, as if he was trying to discern something.

Shangguan Xiao noticed something was wrong and frowned, "What's wrong?"

Fu Lang took a deep breath, stared at Shangguan Xiao, and said word by word:

"Zhang Shiwei said that you were among those who colluded with Western spies over the years, and it was you who conspired with him to kill Zhang Zongyang, the patriarch of the Zhang family!"

boom--

Fu Lang’s words were like a bolt of thunder striking Shangguan Xiao!
She shook her body and looked at Fu Lang with wide eyes:

"What did you say?"

The news of his father's death came, he returned to Datong City, Western spies, Tiefengmen was closed, Tiefengmen was destroyed, Zhang Shiwei's strange reaction
All of this flashed through Shangguan Xiao's mind in an instant.

In a trance, she seemed to see a vicious beast lurking in the darkness, ready to hunt its prey.

Now, malice is pouring in from all directions.

Coming to kill!
Asking for monthly ticket
