No taboos

Chapter 161: Five Ghost Swords

Xu Yuan also told Shi Ba Ding about his own experience. Shi Ba Ding was furious and kicked the corpses of the helmsman and Wu Jinghan twice. "How dare the little Pingtian Society dare to challenge our Quhui Division? I think they are tired of living!"

Xu Yuan nodded: "When we get back, we'll send an official report to the commander and ask him to ban the Pingtian Society!"

Others also woke up one after another.

Mao Dabing and Jia Yi woke up at almost the same time. When they saw Xu Yuan sitting next to Shi Bading, they both guessed that it was Inspector Xu who saved everyone.

Mao Dabin clasped his fists and knelt on one knee: "Master Xu, you have saved us again."

He also included the incident at the master's grave.

Xu Yuan raised his hand: "Don't be so polite, just get up by yourself, I really don't have the energy to help you now."

Mao Dabing got up quickly and didn't dare to bother Inspector Xu.

I felt grateful again: Lord Xu has tried his best to save us.

He didn't have a good look at Shi Ba Ding who was standing beside him.

I don't want to be with you - isn't that obvious enough?

You insisted on bringing us out, and you almost got us killed.

Jia Yi and his captains had complicated expressions and even more complicated feelings.

Originally, they were the first to decide to join Lord Xu, but he insisted on adding a condition.

Adding a condition is not for yourself...

Later, he just went with the flow and thought it was not bad to follow Inspector Shi. Who would have thought that the whole army would be wiped out on their first mission!

In the end, it was Inspector Xu who saved everyone.

This matter... made Jia Yi and his brothers feel embarrassed.

Jia Yi didn't even have the face to come forward to thank Lord Xu.

Di Youzhi, Yu Yunhang and the others also woke up. They started talking to each other and kept saying "it was a close call". If the inspector had not been so powerful, the brothers would have died this time.

Then everyone noticed that there were two people lying nearby, and they couldn't help but start laughing.

Everyone was also very curious: Fu Jingyu and Song Lu are both very capable, so why haven’t they woken up yet?
Xu Yuan would never admit that he had done something small with the medicine pill just now.

When everyone was almost awake, there were three people lying on the ground: Fu Jingyu, Song Lu and Qin Taichen.

Qin Taichen was taken care of by Qin Ze. Lang Xiaoba wanted to take care of the other two, but Yu Yunhang pulled him back: "Don't mess with me."

Lang Xiaoba was puzzled: How could I be causing trouble?

After another half hour, Fu Jingyu woke up with a movement of his body.

When he moved, Song Lu woke up.

The two opened their eyes one after another, both still a little confused.

Then they suddenly realized something and quickly shrank back.

Fu Jingyu said stiffly: "Junior sister, are you okay?"

Song Lu's face flushed red, and she lowered her head and was embarrassed, while everyone around her burst into laughter.

The two of them then realized that forty or fifty people were looking at them from a distance!
Song Lu stomped his feet, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Fu Jingyu's handsome face flushed red, and he was displeased because he felt that it was wrong for these guys to make fun of a girl like his junior sister.

But Fu Jingyu didn't know how to scold everyone in this situation.

Xu Yuan patted the stone in front of him and shouted, "Alright, what's so funny? Check each other out. Is the infection serious?"

Inspector Xu gave the order and everyone let the two poor people go and went to check on each other.

Fu Jingyu walked over and nodded slightly to express his gratitude to Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly, indicating that it was nothing!
Then Xu Yuan, Shi Bading and Fu Jingyu gathered together and discussed in low voices:

"Inspector Xu, why would the Pingtian Society target us?"

"This Wu Jinghan helped Lin Zijin build four well sieves before, and then wanted to use this as a condition in exchange for our support for their temple construction in Champa..."

All three of them thought of this: "That temple!"

Fu Jingyu said with a stern expression, "I remember that the Pingtian Society has temples in the three prefectures of Jiaozhi Province!

If all temples were like this, who knows how many people they would have secretly devoured! "The Ming Dynasty already had a comprehensive household registration system. If too many people disappeared in one place, it would definitely attract local attention.

However, there were already many people in the Ming Dynasty who were hidden by the big families.

In newly conquered areas like Jiaozhi, many local natives were not registered.

Xu Yuan also became serious: "This matter is of no small importance. Master Fu, go to the Southern Office immediately and report this matter to the commander in person!"

Fu Jingyu nodded: "Okay."

Xu Yuan called out again, "Qin Ze."

Wu Xiu ran over happily: "Sir!"

"Take your people and follow Fu Jingyu."

"Yes!" Qin Ze didn't ask where to go, and just went wherever Lord Xu asked him to go.

Xu Yuan called out to Song Lu again, "You come with us."

After a while, everyone finished checking each other.

In fact, the Quwu Division and even the entire Ming Dynasty have not yet found an accurate method to test the degree of infection.

Everyone checked each other, that is, looked at each other to see if there were any obvious signs of abnormality on their bodies.

For example, some black lines appear on the skin.

Fu Jingyu and his men immediately mounted their horses and galloped north.

After they left, Shi Ba Ding asked Xu Yuan, "Where are you going, Inspector Xu?"

Xu Yuan told his original plan.

Shi Ba Ding clasped his fists and said, "We will lend a helping hand to Inspector Xu."

He spoke generously, as if he was repaying Inspector Xu for saving his life.

But there was a hint of pleading in his eyes.

His benefactor He Youxing is still in the city waiting for him to fire his first shot after taking office. If Shi Bading goes back now... the strange case of Shuangjiang Pass will indeed be solved, but his shot will be in vain.

I have to take some credit back so that I can give an account to my benefactor.

Xu Yuan nodded: "Qin Ze left with Fu Jingyu. I'm a little short of manpower here, and Inspector Shi is a timely help."

Shi Ba Ding breathed a sigh of relief, and his favorable impression of Inspector Xu increased greatly.

Listen to what he said. When we return to the city to be rewarded for our achievements, you won't have to go to Huangya Village to claim the credit.

Don't embarrass yourself.

The original resentment in his heart because all the inspectors in the yamen wanted to follow Xu Yuan disappeared.

"Di Youzhi," Xu Yuan called out, "Search for the bodies of the Pingtian Society members, and then burn them."

"Yes, my lord!"

Several artifacts, cultivation methods, and tokens were found on the helmsman and Wu Jinghan.

This is all irrefutable evidence.

Di Youzhi used the fire in his stomach to burn the two bodies to ashes.

"Let's go and get to Huangya Village before dark."

The two teams joined together, and thirty or forty people rushed towards Huangya Village.

Xu Yuan was riding on a horse, playing with Wu Jinghan's five exquisite sword balls while flipping through the two cultivation methods he had found.

Di Youzhi picked up these five sword pills and presented them to Lord Xu.

Wu Jinghan is already a seventh-rate alchemy practitioner.

The sword ball went uphill with some spirituality, Di Youzhi couldn't suppress it, so he picked it up and quickly presented it to the inspector.

He was nearly stabbed by Jian Wan.

Among these cultivation methods, the one Xu Yuan values most is Wu Jinghan's "Wild Fire", which contains the "Five Ghost Swords".
