From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 126 Elbow, Sweep the Emperor

There is a traitor in the Supervisory Commission!
And he’s a high-level executive!

Fan Xian was startled and looked at Guo Baokun.

"Yan Bingyun's identity is top secret. Apart from a few relevant people, no one in the Overwatch Council knows about it, not even the director. Do you think he's from higher-ups?"

"Then...Does Dean Chen know about this?"

"The Crown Prince is at odds with him, and the Dao Judicial Division is in a semi-independent state. I don't know much about him." Guo Baokun said frankly, "However, Yan Bingyun's connection is so important. Even if he didn't know about it beforehand, he would definitely be the first to know that Yan Bingyun was arrested."

"In that case, why not wait for Dean Chen and see what he decides?"

This was said euphemistically, but the meaning was clear.

Although your Daoshensi is nominally a department of the Supervisory Yuan, it is semi-independent from the Supervisory Yuan. Investigating traitors is not within your authority. This behavior is suspected of overstepping your authority.

Guo Baokun looked at Fan Xian. Although Fan Xian felt a little uneasy in his heart, he still met Guo Baokun's gaze.

Gan!
I am a time traveler, why should I be afraid of you, a native?

"Indeed, those with high purity are courageous. It seems that you have done nothing wrong." Guo Baokun said, "You are right. Although the Dao Judicial Department is the ninth department of the Supervisory Council, it has never been involved in the affairs of the Council. This is our advantage. Because the traitor can't possibly come from the Dao Judicial Department, it is convenient for investigation. The traitor would not expect that our Dao Judicial Department would secretly investigate. And in the Supervisory Council, no more than five people know Yan Bingyun's identity, and Dean Chen is one of them."

"You even doubt Dean Chen?" Fan Xian exclaimed, thinking he had misheard.

"I doubt anyone," Guo Baokun sneered. "Do you think the Supervisory Commission is a good place? Old man Chen Pingping is just sitting there without doing anything. He's been hanging around in this cesspool for so many years that he can't tell the difference anymore."

"But……"

"Yan Bingyun is a talented person. The Crown Prince values ​​him very much. He doesn't want his life to be in jeopardy because of these dirty things in the capital. We don't expect you to really investigate the case. We are just interested in your current position. You are also working for the Taichang Temple and are negotiating with Northern Qi as a deputy envoy. This is a very convenient position. You only need to observe the Northern Qi envoys carefully and see what kind of people they usually interact with. We will do the rest."

"I see. Okay, I'll do my best. However, I'll also explain this matter to Dean Chen."

"Of course, you're the commissioner, so you have the authority," Guo Baokun said. "I just hope you won't be disappointed when the time comes."

"disappointment?"

"That's just what I said." Guo Baokun said.

"Then I'll take my leave."

After the matter was settled, Fan Xian didn't want to stay in front of Guo Baokun any longer. After all, he still felt a certain amount of pressure in front of Guo Baokun.

"Do you know what our Dao Judicial Department does?"

But he didn't expect Guo Baokun to suddenly say this.

Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, then said, "Isn't the Daoist Court responsible for moral review?"

"You're wrong. We're here to conduct moral reviews of officials and scholars interested in entering officialdom. No matter how morally corrupt others are, it has nothing to do with us." Guo Baokun stood up and slowly walked to the bedside, looking at the occasional flicker of fishing lights on the Liujing River not far away. "In the past, this Liujing River was the capital's number one den of brothels. There was a constant stream of brothels, and the city's brothels were densely populated, supporting quite a few people. Tell me, if I cut off their livelihoods, will they scold me?"

"Uh..." Fan Xian didn't know why Guo Baokun suddenly brought this up, but he did have some thoughts on the matter. "I've never seen the Liujing River before, but I've heard that the boats on it are actually brothels, controlled by many people. Life there isn't as glamorous as it seems. It's better to not have such a livelihood. As for those who rely on the Liujing River for a living, they're mostly small vendors. These small vendors could survive anywhere else. This is Kyoto, the most prosperous place in the world. Are you worried about them not being able to make a living?"

"Yes, the establishment of the Dao Judicial Bureau has actually harmed those involved in the flesh trade and their backers. It has little impact on ordinary people. The fees are so high that ordinary people can't afford to patronize them." Guo Baokun said, "But don't think that clearing the Liujing River will mean that those officials will have nowhere to go. It's just that their actions have become more covert and more complex. Do you want to go and see for yourself?"

"See... for a moment?"

Seeing the puzzled expression on Fan Xian's face, Guo Baokun said, "The Dao Judicial Bureau not only built its office on the banks of the Liujing River, but also has branches in various prosperous areas of Kyoto. There are brothels in these places, but people are afraid of the Dao Judicial Bureau and dare not openly go to those brothels. However, as a dog will always eat shit, businessmen will always find ways to make money. We have found a place that is very interesting."

An inexplicable light of excitement flashed in Fan Xian's eyes.

Damn, it’s the scene of sweeping the emperor!

I am very interested in this!

Late night, East Palace, secret room
Li Chengqian sat cross-legged. In front of him stood a man in black who looked exactly like him.

This is his second soul.

As the second soul from last time turned into ashes, he refined another second soul.

Because from his last encounter with the second soul, he had summed up some experiences and lessons.

For example, the issue of luck.

The reason why his second soul had such bad luck was because he practiced the Taiyin Form Refining Technique. Facts have proved that the Taiyin Form Refining Technique would indeed greatly reduce or even destroy his luck. Therefore, this time, he did not use the Taiyin Form Refining Technique for his second soul. He just intercepted the purest method of the second soul. However, the second soul without the blessing of the Taiyin Form Refining Technique was not stable, and he did not need stability.

Because this time, he doesn't need his second soul to travel through the void. His target is himself in all the heavens and worlds.

By utilizing the ghost domain space, one can sense the dangers faced by others in the universe and be attracted to them. Once they are in danger of death, the ghost domain space can directly attract their second soul and cover them. If they are lucky, they can be resurrected from the dead. The previous second soul has already proved its feasibility.

Moreover, his requirements for his world are not high. His needs are very simple. Knowledge, knowledge from different worlds. He uses his second soul to memorize the knowledge of this world, and then transmits it to his original body through the ghost space. Next, all he has to do is to work hard. Anyway, with the God-rewarded Talisman, he can always get it.

"Daoyou, are you ready?"

The second soul nodded, and the next moment, Li Chengqian closed his eyes and entered the ghost space with the second soul.

At this time, in the ghost domain space, gray fog was swirling. Both he and the second soul felt a huge attraction coming from the depths of the fog. The next moment, the second soul moved to meet the suction force, and was immediately swallowed up by the gray fog.

"I hope I can have good luck this time." Li Chengqian sighed lightly and left the ghost space.

In a large house in the western part of Kyoto, there was chaos. The black-clad officials of the Provincial Court escorted away the disheveled officials one by one. As for the equally disheveled young ladies, they didn't even glance at them.

The only target of the Daoshensi is officials.

Deep inside the manor, outside an elegant private room, Fan Xian stared in amazement at Fan Jian and Chen Pingping, who were each hugging a young woman in the room, chatting and laughing, as well as the open window and the extra set of bowls and chopsticks on the table, and fell into deep thought.
