This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 436 Broken Arm! Entering the Cabinet (6000+)

"The seeds of magical powers have been recorded in the Daluo Sect's classics."

In the Ru Meng Ling, Qing Ding Zhenren said to Li Fei:

“Different magical seeds and different warriors have different ways of absorbing them. Some methods can increase the probability of successful absorption, but the Daluo Sect’s classics do not record any examples of [Hunyuan Tianjin] absorbing the [Refining] magical power.

What's more, your situation is very special now. It's not just [Hunyuan Tianjin], but also the body of a flying sword, which is a combination of magic and martial arts. There is no case to refer to in this situation."

Li Fei was silent.

A 60% success rate is not low. After all, it is a direct way to obtain a magical power.

You know, many martial arts masters are limited by resources and talents, and may not be able to develop a second magical power in their lifetime!
But the magical seed in Li Fei's hand has a different meaning. It is not just a new magical power.

To some extent, Li Fei regarded it as another way of existence of Hao Yi in this world, so he could only succeed and not fail!
"Is there any universal method that can be used to absorb any magical power seeds?"

Li Fei asked.

"Yes, just improve your luck."

"what?"

"My luck is so good that everything I want comes true, as if it were God's help. This is good fortune."

"Luck."

"You are now recognized as the number one genius in history, and you have good luck. In addition, you are also a marquis of a great country, and you also have some national luck. It's just that you are not specialized in this way, and these good lucks are dormant in you, and you can't actively use them. You just need to find a sorcerer who is proficient in this way to help you stimulate your good luck and invest your good luck in refining the seeds of magical powers. With your current good luck, the success rate should be able to increase by a few percent."

"What if this still doesn't make the success rate reach 100%?"

"Then we can only ask the emperor to add to your national fortune."

"Understood"

Li Fei withdrew from Ru Meng Ling.

When he thought of the sorcerer who was proficient in the art of destiny, the first person he thought of was the national master Yun Shu.

It was the opponent who "loaded" a stream of the emperor's dragon energy into himself, thus defeating the controlled imperial camp army.

But Yun Shu was in seclusion recuperating from his injuries. He had been called out by the emperor once before because of his own affairs. Could he be called out again now?
Moreover, after Qingxu's rebellion, war broke out in the north, the five northern provinces suffered severe snowstorms, and the Xintianhui incident occurred. This series of events may have damaged the country's destiny.

Under such circumstances, it would be difficult to get the emperor to waste the country's fortune on himself again.

Even my own son may not be able to have this treatment.
Li Fei walked out of the secret room, thinking about countermeasures.

"My Lord, Lord He Jian is here."

The butler suddenly found Li Fei and said to him.

Li Fei had specifically instructed that, except for those who had submitted visiting cards in advance, he would ask the butler to directly decline the rest of the visitors, unless their identities were particularly important.

After all, he has limited time and still needs to practice.

But there are some exceptions, such as He Jian.

"it is good."

Li Fei walked towards the lobby.

Soon, he saw the familiar old man in the lobby.

After carefully observing the other person's complexion, he found that after being treated by 'Qing Shen', he was obviously in much better condition than before.

"What's up?"

Both parties were already familiar with each other, so Li Fei skipped the formalities and asked directly.

He Jian was also very straightforward and handed a file to Li Fei:

"The case of the collusion between the New Heaven Society and the World Entry Society has been solved. Following the clues, I found the key evidence that can prove that the Temple of Heaven assassination case is related to the New Heaven Society. This case can be closed!"

Li Fei was cheered up upon hearing this and quickly took the file and started reading it.

For such a long time, he has been busy with his own cultivation and has hardly taken care of the investigation of the case, leaving it all to He Jian.

Of the three major cases at the beginning of the year, the two cases involving Prince Cheng and the third prince have already been concluded and cannot be investigated in depth.

So He Jian has been investigating the case of collusion between the WTO and the New Heaven Society for some time, and he finally found the key evidence.

"Was Su Yifei killed by Huang Jin?"

Li Fei looked at the conclusion on the file and turned to look at He Jian in surprise:

"Who is Huang Jin? Why did he kill the inspector general's son?"

He Jian: "Huang Jin is Shen Tu Yue's senior brother. He once challenged you, but you rejected him."

"Oh"

Li Fei tried hard to recall and vaguely remembered that there was such a person.

"Then why did he kill Su Yifei?"

"Based on the clues I found, it should be a murder of passion."

"what?"

"Su Yifei has been pursuing Shen Tu Yue, and Huang Jin has always had a crush on Shen Tu Yue. When you arrested Shen Tu Yue and put her in jail, it was Su Yifei who manipulated public opinion and brought reporters to block the door."

"Are you crazy? Are you going to kill someone?"

Li Fei found it very incomprehensible.

He Jian looked at him and said, "There are many unreasonable lunatics in this world. Huang Jin is a person with a strong possessiveness and is extremely selfish. It is normal for him to kill people on impulse."

"."

"Because Huang Jin was killed by Youming the day after Su Yifei's death, and the two had not had much contact before, nor any grudges, so no one thought that Huang Jin killed Su Yifei at the time. After killing him, Huang Jin deliberately led the clues to the Xintian Society, but he happened to use the channels of the Rushi Society. This led Su Xuesong to suspect that the Rushi Society was the murderer after he found out."

"So this matter actually has little to do with joining the WTO. Su Xuesong is seeking revenge like crazy because he has chosen the wrong target."

Li Fei sighed.

As an Inspector General and a high-ranking official, he was determined to drag the vice-president of the WTO Accession Association into the water even if it meant giving up his official position, and suppress the WTO Accession Association at the same time.

As a result, the target of revenge was the wrong person.

He Jian: "It can't be said that I found the wrong person. Huang Jin is also a member of the World Entry Association. He is also an undercover agent planted by the New Heaven Society inside the World Entry Association. It was with the help of this clue that I finally found evidence that the New Heaven Society was involved in the Temple of Heaven assassination case."

Li Fei looked at the chain of evidence written in the file and felt a little emotional:
"I didn't expect that after investigating for so long, the case would eventually be solved because of a murder of passion."

He Jian's expression remained serious: "Many cases are actually solved because of some seemingly irrelevant clues."

Li Fei smiled at him, stood up and saluted him: "In any case, this case is all thanks to Lord He. I will personally report the credit to His Majesty!"

He Jian waved his hand: "No need, I know myself well. If you hadn't taken responsibility for me, how could I have solved this case?"

The events at Prince Cheng's Mansion had allowed this old detective to see through a lot of worldly affairs.

In the past, he was able to solve major cases repeatedly and earned the name of "super detective" only because those cases involved few vested interests and there were big shots behind them who needed him to solve the cases.

From the Temple of Heaven assassination case to the three major cases, He Jian has deeply realized a truth:
Solving a case is about right and wrong, but the game at the top is not about right or wrong, it’s only about interests!
Although such cognition will not change He Jian as a person.

He is old, and some things have been engraved in his bones and cannot be changed.

But at least he could clearly realize that after the grand court meeting at the beginning of the year, the reason why he was able to successfully investigate the collusion between the Entering the WTO Association and the New Heavenly Society was because Li Fei openly helped him bear all the pressure!

Whether it was slapping the face of Prince Cheng's Mansion or standing up to publicly support He Jian at the court meeting, Li Fei's attitude was undoubtedly revealed.

Investigating the Rushi Association will inevitably affect the interests of many people, not only the Hongchen Pavilion, which is a huge entity, but also the "tentacles" of the Rushi Association in the mortal world, the connections with the ministers in the court, and so on.

Among the three major cases, this case is the least dangerous, but it is still not something that a mere official like He Jian can handle.

It was not until Li Fei "showed his prowess in public" on March 3st, breaking through the realm in public and causing a sensation again that He Jian's progress in investigating the case became smoother than ever before!
The case, which had been under investigation for almost a year with no solution, was closed in just half a month.

This actually explains a lot of problems.

That's why He Jian said this to Li Fei at this time.

"I have handed the case file to the Supervisory Council. There will be a grand court meeting tomorrow, and His Majesty will probably talk about this matter, so that there will be a conclusion."

He Jian looked at Li Fei and said, "After this case, if you want me to help you investigate another case, I can start anytime as long as the Supervisory Office authorizes me."

Li Fei was silent for a moment, then nodded and said:
"it is good!"

3 month 18 day.

Another great meeting of the Great Blue Dynasty.

Li Fei still wore the golden and jade-scaled armor and carried a sword when he went to court, standing behind Lou Hongtao, the head of the Supervisory Pavilion.

"let's start."

Sitting on the dragon throne, the emperor spoke casually.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

Lou Hongtao was the first to step out and said loudly:

"Your Majesty ordered me to investigate the case of former Gansu Provincial Inspector General Su Xuesong accusing his colleagues. The case has now been closed."

The head of the Supervisory Office stated the contents of the case in a clear and logical manner.

These contents are similar to those in the files that Li Fei saw yesterday. They mainly list the crimes committed by many officials in Gansu Province, and almost all of these officials are related to joining the WTO.

After listening to Lou Hongtao's statement, the emperor asked calmly:
"What did the Court of Justice decide?"

An old man immediately stood out from the queue.

He is the head of the Justice Pavilion, Wei Boyu, who is already 61 years old this year. He is not - and has no cultivation, so he will probably retire in the next two years.

"According to judicial law, all officials involved in this case have been convicted, except for Chi Chengyu, the head of the Zhige Department of Gan Province. He should be executed for multiple crimes. However, because he is a cabinet official and a martial arts master, the decision must be made by His Majesty."

Wei Boyu said.

After saying that, he took out a written memorial, which contained the final verdicts on all the officials involved in the case.

"I won't look at those who have been convicted, as for Chi Chengyu, Chi Chengyu."

cried the Emperor.

"Chen is here!"

Chi Chengyu walked out of the queue.

The chief of the Zhige tribe had previously only been suspended from his post pending investigation, and today he also attended the grand court meeting in official uniform.

Even though he already knew his ending in advance, Chi Chengyu's voice was still trembling at this moment.

Decades of struggle and hard work were wiped out in one day!
"What do you want to say to me?"

The emperor asked, looking down at Chi Chengyu below.

Chi Chengyu knelt on his knees:
"I know I am guilty and I am willing to go to the northern border to redeem myself and make meritorious contributions. I hope Your Majesty will grant me permission!"

The current emperor can be considered benevolent. Since he ascended the throne, not a single cabinet official has been directly sentenced to death.

Chi Chengyu is not only a cabinet official, but also a martial arts master, so he will not be sentenced to death. Martial arts masters are already very important combat forces, and as long as they have not committed the crime of treason, they will usually be given the opportunity to make meritorious contributions while serving their sentence.

Exploring secret realms, special missions, or joining the frontier army in battles are all options.

Chi Chengyu now took the initiative to choose to go to the northern border to participate in the war there.

Although King Cheng won a great victory in the northern border last month, the war there has not yet ended and there is still a fight to be fought.

"Okay, I'll give you this chance. Go to the North and kill the enemy to atone for your sins."

The emperor agreed immediately.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Chi Chengyu knocked his head heavily to the ground, bowed deeply, and then retreated silently.

"His Majesty."

After dealing with Chi Chengyu, Su Xuesong, the former inspector of Gansu Province, took the initiative to stand up and said sadly:
"I govern the region for Your Majesty and shoulder the responsibility of an inspector general, but Gansu has produced so many corrupt officials, and I am also duty-bound to do so. I am old and confused, and I request to retire and return home!"

He took the initiative to choose to retire.

In fact, with the situation now at its current state, even if he, the Inspector General, were to go back, he would not be able to keep his position in Gansu Province any longer.

Having offended so many people, he should at least give an explanation to Hongchen Pavilion, so the emperor would never let him go back to continue serving as an official.

Su Xuesong also understood this point, so he took the initiative to resign so as not to embarrass the emperor and to preserve a little friendship between the monarch and his subject.

This means he chose respectability himself, instead of asking the emperor to help him be "respectable".

Sure enough, the emperor looked at him with a much softer gaze:

"Su Qing, although you are responsible for failing to supervise, you have worked hard and made great contributions in governing Gan Province for me over the years. I will confer you the title of Marquis of Huaiping, a thousand taels of gold, and allow you to retire and return home."

It is normal for a high-ranking official like Su Xuesong to be granted a title of nobility when he retires.

But this time Su Xuesong chose to "turn the table over", breaking too many rules and offending too many people. It was completely like killing one thousand enemies and losing twelve thousand of his own!

Being able to be granted a title and retire in this way can be considered a great favor from the emperor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

In the main hall, Su Xuesong bowed and burst into tears.

After Su Xuesong left, Lou Hongtao continued to report the second matter:

"Last month, Jing'an Marquis Li Fei was attacked by a thug, and eventually a group of Western spies were arrested. It was discovered that someone was secretly trading martial arts secrets with Westerners. I was ordered to try this case."

The second thing he wanted to report today was the Western spy case reported by Li Fei.

The case has now come to a conclusion:

The force behind the secret trade of martial arts manuals with the Deni Kingdom was the Zhao family of Qingli Prefecture in Feng Province.

This is an upstart family that has only risen in the last decade or so. The patriarch of the family is now the governor of Qingli Prefecture, the highest official in the area.

But the ancestral home of the "Canglin Lu Family" is in Qingli Mansion, and this place is equivalent to the "back garden" of the Lu family.

In the previous referendum vote of Lanxun Pavilion, Qingli Mansion had a total of 28 votes, but all of them were cast for the priest of the Lu family!

Therefore, if someone said that the Zhao family was secretly dealing with the Deni Kingdom in the Western Continent and that the Lu family was not involved, none of the ministers in the hall would believe it.

But this is what the Supervisory Council finally found out.

The Lu family was clean in this case and was not involved in any way!
In the queue, Li Fei listened to Lou Hongtao's statement calmly.

He had expected this.

For a family like the Canglin Lu family, which has been passed down for more than 500 years, how could it be easy for them to survive?
If it was so easy to be overthrown, how could it have lasted longer than the Great Blue Dynasty?

From this case, it can be seen that the Zhao family of Qingli Prefecture is the "white glove" specially supported by the Lu family, specifically used for transactions with Western countries.

The one who benefited was the Lu family. Once something happened, if the court wanted to investigate, it could only trace it back to the Zhao family.

A powerful family like the Lu family has no shortage of loyal warriors, and there are plenty of people willing to take the blame for them.

Of course, in upper-level games, it’s not about right or wrong, it’s only about interests.

He Jian could understand this truth, and Li Fei naturally understood it even more clearly.

If the imperial court really wants to take action against the Lu family, the Zhao family alone will not be able to "block the knife".

The current investigation results can only show that the benefits of allowing the Lu family to continue to exist safely are far greater than disposing of it.

"Humph!"

After listening to Lou Hongtao's statement, the emperor on the dragon throne snorted coldly.

Inside the hall, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, as if a thunderclap had sounded from deep within their souls!
"They secretly colluded with the Western countries and illegally sold martial arts secrets, even the inheritance methods of the top-level Taoist foundations. It's really hateful!"

The emperor said angrily, "No need to transfer it to the Judicial Council. The Zhao family of Qingli Prefecture will be executed!"

The emperor was angry and laid down millions of corpses.

With just one word from the man sitting on the dragon throne, people in Qingli Prefecture, thousands of miles away, will be chopped off to pieces!

No one in the city, whether civil or military, stood up to oppose.

Thus the fate of the Zhao family was decided.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, there have been no more than a handful of families whose entire clans have been executed, and now there is one more!
The head of the Zhao family was the garrison commander of Qingli Prefecture, and many officials were involved. The entire Zhao family was executed, and the officialdom of Qingli Prefecture was bound to usher in a major purge!

Qingli Mansion is the "back garden" of the Lu family. The current result is equivalent to the Lu family having one arm cut off!
Li Fei understood that this result was both a warning from the emperor to the others and an "explanation" to him.

Of course, the emperor does not need to give an explanation to his ministers, so this can be seen as a favor to Li Fei.

Li Fei also understood another meaning from it: this matter ends here.

The Lu family plotted against Li Fei, and the emperor cut off one of their arms to give Li Fei an explanation.

If he goes any further, it would be that Li Fei, the minister, is ungrateful.

"Li Fei."

In the hall, Li Fei's name was suddenly called.

Li Fei walked out of the queue and saluted the emperor on the throne:
"The minister is here."

The emperor looked at him and said, "I ordered you to investigate the assassination at the Temple of Heaven. Do you have any results now?"

Li Fei calmly took out the file He Jian gave him:
"With the help of He Jian, the first-class detective of the Supervisory Office, I finally solved the case."

He roughly recounted the contents of the file, emphasizing the role played by He Jian.

After he finished speaking, Feng Cheng walked down the steps, took the file from his hand, and went back to present it to the emperor.

After taking a quick look, the emperor put down the file and said to Li Fei with a smile:
"You said that this case was solved thanks to the help of others, but in my opinion, you should be credited with the primary credit for solving this case!"

After saying that, he nodded to Feng Cheng beside him.

Feng Cheng immediately took out the imperial edict he had prepared in advance and read it aloud:
"He Jian, the first-class detective of the Supervisory Office, has made great contributions in investigating the case. He was awarded the title of Viscount Lu An, a million in cash, and a mansion.

The rest of the detective team will all be promoted one level higher and rewarded with 100,000 yuan!"

He Jian’s hometown is Lu’an Town. Now he has been conferred the title of Viscount Lu’an, which can be regarded as an honor for his hometown.

His official rank was a first-class detective at level 15, which was the pinnacle of an official rank. If he were to rise further, he would be able to enter the cabinet and become a cabinet member.

But although Li Fei tried his best to gain credit for the detective, he ultimately failed to help He Jian advance any further.

From being a sitting official to a cabinet official, this step is a hurdle that many people will find difficult to cross in their lifetime!
After conferring titles and rewards on He Jian and the others, Feng Cheng took out another imperial edict and read it aloud:
"Marquis of Jing'an Li Fei, who was ordered to investigate the case, was not afraid despite the dangers and difficulties, and succeeded despite all the difficulties. He should be credited with the first merit!

With keen observation, he captured the thief alone and arrested the Western spy, making another contribution!
When a powerful enemy invades, one man stands alone to guard the pass. He maintains his dignity and defeats the enemy, thus achieving another feat!
The sea was flowing, Fang showed his true colors.

At the age of twenty, you can withstand a blow from the top, and you can be a pillar of the country!"

Feng Cheng paused for a moment when he read this.

All the ministers in the hall also subconsciously held their breath, and many of them showed fascination.

At only 20 years old, he was able to block a full-strength attack from a top warrior. What kind of miracle is this?!

Judging from the situation, Li Fei will probably be rewarded heavily again this time!
Feng Cheng's voice continued to ring out in the hall:
"Li Fei has made great contributions here, so he deserves a reward:

He was promoted to a higher rank, entered the cabinet and continued to serve as the Blue Patrol Special Envoy!
Also serve as the leader of the Blue Patrol Pavilion inspection team, and inspect the four directions for me!
Reward: ten bottles of Lingxin Dan.

Ten bottles of Taixuan Guiyuan Dan.

"

Feng Cheng's voice continued to ring out in the hall, but many people no longer had the heart to listen to the rewards that would follow.

Li Fei was made a marquis at the age of nineteen, and it was impossible for him to be made a duke at the age of twenty because there was no higher title to be made.

According to the ancestral precepts of the Da Lan Dynasty, a king with a different surname will never be enthroned!

Everyone can think of that there can be no change in the title, so it can only be reflected in the official position.

Li Fei, the Blue Patrol Envoy, is the pinnacle of officials, a level 15 official, just like He Jian.

The next step up is to leap over the dragon gate and become an official in the cabinet!
Although a twenty-year-old cabinet official is more exaggerated than a nineteen-year-old marquis.

But this did not exceed many people's expectations.

After all, Li Fei was favored by the emperor, and March 3st did indeed cause a sensation throughout the world.

What really shocked the ministers was Li Fei's official position.

He is still serving as the Blue Patrol Special Envoy? !
The power of the Blue Patrol Envoy is too great:

Outside of Lanling City, all local officials below the rank of governor can execute first and report later as long as the evidence is solid!
Officers below level 15 can be unconditionally required to be suspended from their posts to cooperate with the investigation, and the suspension period can be up to one month!

Even if you are an officer of level 15, if you are suspected, you must immediately write a letter to explain yourself!
As for cabinet officials above level 15, although they cannot be investigated directly, they can report to the central government. As long as the central government agrees, the other party must cooperate.

Such power has resulted in the number of Blue Patrol Envoys being strictly controlled, and throughout history, those who have served as Blue Patrol Envoys in the Great Blue Dynasty have never held an official position higher than 15th level.

Now, the emperor is going to set a precedent for Li Fei and let Li Fei serve as the Blue Patrol Special Envoy as a 16th-level cabinet official!

In comparison, the position of leader of the Blue Patrol Pavilion Inspection Team is just a bonus.

Inside the hall, Feng Cheng was still reading the imperial edict. This time, the emperor's reward to Li Fei included a large amount of cultivation resources.

These rewarded cultivation resources are treasures that are difficult to buy outside. Even if Li Fei cannot use them himself, he can exchange them for other resources.

Judging from the length of this imperial edict, these resources are enough for Li Fei to cultivate a single path to the level of a grandmaster or top-level immortal!

In the hall, Li Fei once again became the focus of the audience.

He was conferred the title of marquis at the age of nineteen.

He entered the cabinet at the age of twenty.

There is only one such legend throughout history!
