Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

When Lu Xunhuan returned to the courtyard, Ye Feihong quickly made tea and asked, "Sir, how is it?"

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Except for your captain, no one knows your identity as a member of the Shenlong Pavilion, right?"

Ye Feihong nodded: "Apart from the Captain, the Pavilion Master may be the only one who has our list."

Lu Xun Huan picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea: "We have established the Wang Ting Division. Apart from the three of us, no one else knows about it yet."

Ye Feihong sat down: "What are your plans, sir?"

Lu Xun Huan picked up the cup and blew on it. "The military strategy says, to capture the thief, you must first capture the leader. Go and make the Royal Court Command Card immediately. When you come back, accept the new mission."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feihong immediately became excited: "Are we going to take action in the name of our organization?"

Lu Xun Huan took a sip of tea and said, "That's not the case. I just made it to scare people. Otherwise, I might not have a chance of getting the position of captain. By the way, where's Qing Dai?"

Ye Feihong replied, "Maybe the Immortal Friends Association has a mission and asked her to go."

Her expression became ambiguous: "Master, now it's just the two of us, my promise to you..."

Lu Xun Huan put down his teacup and said, "It's more important to get down to business. Let's go make the token first."

Ye Feihong pouted and said, "You always push it back and forth. It hurts my self-esteem."

Lu Xun Huan looked at her and said, "You are so beautiful and charming. If I don't like you, wouldn't I be blind? Silly girl, why are you in such a hurry? Go make the token first. We will act together tonight."

However, after the officials of the provincial government came out of the training ground, they returned to the yamen and held a closed-door meeting.

The prefect said, "I believe everyone has seen clearly from today's competition that Shen Jin and Lu Xunhuan are indeed capable. As for Fan Tong and Xiao Zhang, there's no need to consider them. What do you think?"

The officials discussed the matter for a while, and someone said, "Your Excellency is right. Fan Tong is just a rough man. Apart from his strength, he has no other abilities. Xiao Zhang has a bad reputation. If such people lead the army, I am afraid it will ruin the morale of our army."

The prefect nodded slightly. "It's good that everyone has reached a consensus. Now, let's discuss which of Shen Jin and Lu Xunhuan is more suitable, in your opinion?"

An official said, "Lu Xunhuan's ability is undeniable. A general like him can defeat a hundred men on the battlefield with one man. He is also quite strategic. Some of his strategic ideas, such as conquering the enemy without fighting and encircling a point and attacking its reinforcements, are quite innovative and brilliant. He is a rare talent."

The prefect nodded. "Indeed, those strategic ideas are unprecedented to us and are indeed innovative. However, I'm afraid they are just empty talk. On the battlefield, it will be another matter altogether."

Another official said, "I think Shen Jin is more suitable. After all, he originally served in the army and is very familiar with everything there. Aside from his inferior combat power, he also has one more vote than Lu Xunhuan in the strategy contest. Military commanders generally don't take risks and charge into the front line, so combat power is not the most important factor; strategy is the key factor that determines victory or defeat."

The prefect thought for a moment and said, "Please raise your hands now so I can see your preliminary opinions. Those who agree that Shen Jin should be appointed as the captain, please raise your hands."

Five people raised their hands.

The prefect looked at the situation and said, "It seems that half of the ten of you support Shen Jin, and the other half support Lu Xunhuan. You are evenly matched. How about this? Don't rush to make a decision. Let me think about it carefully. You can also think about it carefully after you go back."

Everyone was a veteran in the officialdom and had been tested for a long time. How could they not understand the hidden meaning of the prefect's words? They all stood up, saluted, and left the venue.

In the small courtyard in the south of the city, after Lu Xunhuan arranged for Ye Feihong to go out and make the token, he sat alone in the room, seizing the time to practice.

He had only been practicing for an hour when there was a knock on the gate.

He got up, walked out of the room, crossed the small yard, and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was Sima Cao, who had changed his clothes.

He quickly let Sima in.

After the two sat down in the reception room, Cao Sima asked, "Do you have any idea of ​​the current situation?"

Lu Xunhuan smiled and said, "If my guess is correct, it should be between me and Shen Jin."

Sima Cao nodded: "Yes, what else?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "Then, it will depend on who gives the most to the prefect."

Sima Cao stroked his beard and said, "If you need it, I'll send someone back to Changfeng Town at full speed to raise funds for you. What do you think?"

Lu Xun Huan pondered, "Are you asking Jubao Pawnshop and Madam Zi Yan to help me pay?"

Cao Sima said: "It's not entirely to help you, helping you is also helping me."

Lu Xun Huan thought for a while and said, "As an immortal cultivator, I have been taught by my ancestors to uphold justice and take it as my duty to save the people of the world. How could I possibly do such a thing as bribery? If the capital investigates and the prefect is exposed, both you and I will be implicated. I don't mind at all; at worst, I can return to my sect. But your path to officialdom will be cut short, and you might even end up in jail."

Sima Cao looked a little embarrassed. In order to get promoted, hadn't he bribed enough people in the past?

Lu Xun Huan added, "Sima, there's no need to get involved in this matter. I've already contacted the people above me, and I'm pretty confident."

Cao Sima's eyes showed surprise: "Do you know the people above?"

Lu Xunhuan nodded slightly: "Just wait for the news."

The day passed and gradually darkened.

Someone came secretly to the prefect's residence.

The man was taken to the prefect's study.

The prefect looked at the man, smiled, and said, "President Shen, what's the matter?"

Judge Shen took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and said, "This hundred thousand banknotes is a gift from this humble official to you, my Lord."

The prefect took the banknote and looked at it. "You are sincere. I know this and will naturally take care of your son. But do you know who is supporting Lu Xunhuan?"

Shen Tongpan replied, "According to my observation, it should be Cao Tongzhi."

The prefect nodded. "Under the prefect, the assistant prefect assists him in handling affairs. He's considered the second-in-command of the prefectural government. If the prefect is ill or under investigation, the assistant prefect will temporarily take over and act as the prefect. His rank is higher than yours. If he refuses to yield, even if I accept your favor, it will be quite difficult for me."

Shen Tongpan bowed and said, "Your Excellency, the Prefect, there is no need to worry. After visiting the Prefect, I will naturally visit Cao Tongpan."

The prefect nodded again: "Correct."

Judge Shen stood up and said, "Then I will take my leave."

The prefect gestured, "Go slowly."

Judge Shen turned around and opened the door of the study.

But there was a masked man in black standing at the door, who frightened Shen Tongpan so much that he fell to the ground.

The prefect was also frightened. He quickly put the 100,000 silver notes into his arms and shouted, "Who is it?"

Judging from her figure, the masked person in black is a woman.

She stepped into the study and closed the door behind her.

Then, she took out another token and threw it to the prefect: "From the Wang Tingsi."

The prefect held the token in his hand, turning it over and over for a while, extremely puzzled: "Wang Tingsi?"

He had never heard of Wang Tingsi and had no idea what it did.

The masked woman said, "Wang Tingsi, a secret organization established by the royal family, specializes in investigating corruption cases across the country. One of you is giving bribes, and the other is accepting bribes. I caught you red-handed, both of you red-handed. Now prepare to lose your official positions."

She held out her hand: "Come back."

The prefect was frightened by her.

He knelt down hurriedly, holding the token in both hands and returned it: "Sir, please have mercy on me."

The masked woman snorted, "We've caught the perpetrator red-handed. What else is there to say?"

The prefect hurriedly took out the 100,000 taels of silver and presented it with both hands: "I admit my mistake and am willing to hand it over in full. Please give me another chance."

The masked woman pondered for a moment while holding the banknote, then said, "As a local official, you should take it as your responsibility to ensure the people live and work in peace and contentment. How could you engage in such corruption?"

The prefect quickly pulled Shen Tongpan to kowtow and said, "Sir, we know we were wrong. Please give us one chance. We won't do it again."

The masked woman put the token and banknote into her arms: "Alright, don't let me find you a second time."

She added, "The selection of military personnel is a matter of national security. Only capable individuals should be appointed. Don't you know what Shen Jin is? If you dare to enrich yourself and interfere with national affairs, the Royal Court will report this to His Majesty. You'll have to take care of yourself."

After she finished speaking, she opened the door and disappeared in a flash.

The prefect quickly got up from the ground, ran to the door and looked, but there was no one there.

He returned to the room and looked at each other with Shen Tongpan, unable to speak for a long time.

The masked woman quietly flew out of the mansion and met a man in a secret place under the high wall. She whispered, "It's done. Scare the corrupt official half to death."

The masked woman was Ye Feihong. She took the newly made token and sneaked into the prefect's residence, catching the bribery in the act.

No one knows whether there is an organization called "Wang Tingsi" in the Empire last week.

But the immortals have the Immortal Friends Association, and there is also a Shenlong Pavilion organized by an unknown person. So what is impossible for the royal family to set up a "Wang Tingsi" to secretly investigate corruption among officials?

The man who was waiting for Ye Feihong outside was Lu Xunhuan.

He calculated that someone would break into the prefect's residence tonight to offer bribes, so he brought Ye Feihong here early.

When Ye Feihong saw someone sneaking into the mansion, she immediately took action and followed him all the way.

Lu Xun Huan took the 100,000 taels of silver from Ye Fei Hong and nodded, "Return."

But Ye Feihong suddenly hugged him, pressed him against the high wall, and kissed him.

Lu Xun Huan broke free from her and scolded her in a low voice: "Silly girl, regardless of the place or occasion, go back first."

But when the two of them returned to the courtyard in the south of the city, Qingdai had already returned.

Ye Feihong sighed and suddenly became listless.
