The investigation was still going on, and at this moment, a guest caught the attention of the supreme commander of the Nine Gates. The guest looked flustered and hesitated in his speech.

The Nine Gates' Supreme Commander's eyes turned cold and he shouted:

"come here!"

The guest came over trembling, and the Supreme Commander of the Nine Gates grabbed him by the collar and asked sternly, "Why are you so flustered here? Is this related to the counterfeit coin case?"

The guest turned pale and replied with trembling lips: "Sir, I, I really have nothing to do with this case. It's just that my family has suffered misfortune recently, and I am uneasy. That's why I am like this."

The Supreme Commander of the Nine Gates looked at him sharply, as if he was trying to find a flaw in his eyes. At this time, the Supreme Commander of the Ministry of War came over, patted him on the shoulder, and signaled him to be patient.

"Sir Cheng, do you think this man is suspicious?" the supreme commander asked in a low voice.

The Supreme Commander smiled slightly, with a gleam in his eyes: "Why not let him leave first, we can observe secretly to see if he has any other suspicious behavior."

The Supreme Commander nodded, loosened the guest's collar, and said in a cold voice: "In that case, you can go, but if you find anything unusual, don't blame me, the Nine Gates, for being rude."

The guests were relieved and hurriedly left the Shangshu Mansion. The Supreme Commander smiled at each other and turned back to the crime scene.

In the Shangshu Mansion, the candlelight flickered and the atmosphere was solemn. The Supreme Commander sat at the desk, while the Supreme Commander stood aside, and the two began an in-depth discussion on the counterfeit coin case.

"Lord Cheng, do you think there is a bigger conspiracy behind this case?" asked the supreme commander.

The Supreme Commander nodded slightly: "Yes, this case is very serious. If it is not solved in time, it may affect the stability of our country's economy. I speculate that there may be a huge force behind this."

A trace of worry flashed across the Supreme Commander's eyes: "Then how should we start the investigation?"

The Supreme Commander pondered for a moment and said, "First, we need to start with the suspects to see if they have any common contacts or characteristics. Second, we need to strengthen the supervision of currency circulation to prevent counterfeit currency from continuing to flow into the market. Finally, we need to pay close attention to those who have had contact with the suspects to see if they know more."

The Supreme Commander nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, Master Cheng, I will arrange it right away."

One day, the Supreme Commander and the Supreme Commander were having a secret conversation in the study of the Shangshu Mansion. The Supreme Commander was sitting at the desk, holding a piece of intelligence in his hand, with a frown on his face.

The Supreme Commander stood aside with a serious look on his face: "Master Cheng, according to our investigation, those suspects seem to be related to a mysterious organization called 'Night Shadow'."

A trace of surprise flashed in the Supreme Commander's eyes: "Ye Ying? I seem to have heard of this name. Who are they?"

The Supreme Commander sighed: "Yeying is a powerful underground organization. They are involved in a wide range of fields, including tomb robbing, smuggling, assassination, etc. This counterfeit coin case is probably one of their actions."

The Supreme Commander pondered for a moment and said, "Then how should we deal with them?"

A trace of determination flashed in the Supreme Commander's eyes: "Master Cheng, since we already know of their existence, we can't just sit back and watch. I suggest that we organize a large-scale operation to eradicate Night Shadow."

The Supreme Commander nodded, a firm look flashing in his eyes: "Okay, it's settled then. I will report to the Emperor and ask for his approval of our action."

……

at this time.

"Get out of the way! Let me go, or I'll kill this little girl!"

Lu Yundi looked carefully and saw that the person the criminal was holding hostage was Yan Shuqin.

Yan Canglan also saw it. He broke free from Lu Yundi's hand and ran towards his sister.

He was pulled back in time by Lu Yundi.

Lu Yundi tightly grasped Yan Canglan's wrist, his eyes firm and cold: "Don't act rashly, you must calm down!"

There was a trace of struggle in Yan Canglan's eyes, but he finally nodded and clenched his teeth.

At this time, the gangster approached with a sneer, with the dagger in his hand pressed tightly against Yan Shuqin's neck. Blood was already dripping along the blade, which was particularly glaring.

"Madam Loyal and Brave, you are decisive, but are you willing to exchange this little girl's life for the safety of your family?" The gangster's voice was cold and sarcastic.

Lu Yundi's face turned pale instantly, but she still tried to remain calm and stared at the other person with a sharp gaze: "Why are you doing this? We have no grudges against each other, why do you have to hurt innocent people?"

"Innocent?" The criminal laughed wildly. "There are not so many innocent things in this world! What happened today is just to let you know that this world is not something you can control."

At this time, the supreme commander of the Nine Gates hurried over. He was wearing a black robe and had a stern face, followed by a group of capable martial arts masters.

"Commander, you've come at the right time. This criminal has kidnapped my daughter. You must find a way to rescue her immediately!" Lu Yundi said anxiously.

The Supreme Commander frowned, his eyes swept across the scene like a sword, and soon locked onto the target. He asked in a deep voice: "May I ask, Your Excellency, what exactly do you want?"

The criminal squinted at the supreme commander and said with disdain: "Commander Cheng, do you think I will tell you? What happened today is just to let you know that this world is not a monolithic entity. We have our own destinations."

There was a flash of cold light in the supreme commander's eyes. The purpose of the man in front of him was not simple.

He slowly said: "In that case, let me try and see if I can change your mind."

After saying that, the supreme commander flashed and instantly appeared behind the gangster. The long sword in his hand was as flexible as a poisonous snake, and he went straight to the gangster's vital points.

The gangster was shocked and dodged quickly, but the Supreme Commander was too fast and he couldn't escape at all. At this moment, Yan Canglan suddenly broke free from Lu Yundi's hand, rushed to his sister, and snatched Yan Shuqin back from the gangster.

Seeing this, the gangsters rushed towards the supreme commander in a hurry, trying to make up for the disadvantage. A fierce battle broke out in the field instantly.

Yan Canglan hugged his sister tightly and checked her injuries nervously. Yan Shuqin was pale but conscious. She looked at her brother with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

"Brother, thank you for saving me." Yan Shuqin said softly.

Yan Canglan felt warm in his heart, but this was not the time to relax. He watched the battle vigilantly and vowed to protect his sister.

The battle between the supreme commander and the gangsters became more and more intense, with swords shining like rain and dazzling the eyes. Although the gangsters were highly skilled in martial arts, they gradually fell into a disadvantage in the face of the supreme commander's superb swordsmanship.

At this moment, Lu Yundi suddenly rushed into the arena, holding a short sword in her hand, and went straight to the vital point of the gangster. The gangster was terrified and retreated quickly, but it was too late to dodge.

The Supreme Commander took the opportunity to attack, slashing at the gangster with a sword. The gangster screamed, fell to the ground, and never moved again.

Yan Canglan held his sister in his arms and looked at the Supreme Commander and Lu Yundi, his heart filled with gratitude.
