Li Shimin faked his death? Then I will be powerful enough to conquer the world!

The moment you step into the main hall, an invisible sense of oppression hits you.

The dim light struggled to shine into the hall, making the shadow in the corner even deeper.

In the center of the main hall, a mysterious man in a black robe sat there quietly.

Li Yuanfang and Lin Yu reacted quickly, bowing without hesitation and saying loudly, "Your subordinates pay their respects to the Shadow Officer!"

The voice was respectful.

The actions of these two people were within the expectations of Di Renjie and Wu Meiniang and did not cause them too much surprise.

Di Renjie was extremely intelligent and had foresight about many things.

Although Wu Meiniang may have been a little confused at first, she quickly understood the situation after receiving the hint from Di Renjie's eyes.

Although she couldn't help but feel a little resentful for being kept in the dark, she also knew that this was not the time to worry about these things, so she quickly hid her emotions.

Film officer?

When Di Renjie and Wu Meiniang heard this name, their hearts moved.

They instantly realized that the mysterious figure before them was most likely a member of His Majesty's dreaded Shadow Secret Guard.

This mysterious organization has always acted in secret, but now it has appeared in this ordinary house, which is really puzzling.

Di Renjie's eyes were fixed on the shadow official, his eyes were full of inquiry, and his mind was constantly thinking about various possibilities.

The film official nodded slightly in response to Li Yuanfang and Lin Yu's salute.

Then, a clear yet somewhat cold female voice rang out from behind the mask: "Don't be nervous. We are all working for His Majesty. But to be honest, I'm not sure what's so special about you that His Majesty looks at you so highly."

As soon as the voice fell, Zhang Xuanwei's eyes narrowed instantly, and a strong sense of familiarity surged in his heart.

He clearly remembered that the aura emanating from this person was exactly the same as the one he had seen in Hanyuan Store!

All of a sudden, he seemed to know who the masked man in front of him was.

Zhang Xuanwei is an old hand after all. His current situation is delicate, but his face does not reveal any flaws. He still maintains an indifferent look, as if he has not noticed anything.

"After reading your information, I found some highlights, but overall, it can only be considered average."

The shadow official's voice continued to echo in the hall, breaking the brief silence.

"Di Renjie, you are truly a genius. You have already distinguished yourself at such a young age. You have demonstrated extraordinary talent and wisdom in solving cases. You can truly be said to have achieved success at a young age."

"But have you ever heard the saying, 'Too much wisdom can lead to harm?' Sometimes, being too smart and showing off isn't necessarily a good thing; it can easily lead to disaster."

Having said that, the film official paused slightly and turned his gaze to Wu Meiniang.

"And you, Wu Meiniang, are born with a stunning beauty, which is naturally your advantage."

"With this outstanding appearance, you may be able to obtain many opportunities that others cannot reach."

"But as the saying goes, beauty is a disaster."

"This beauty may sometimes bring not only opportunities, but also dangers."

"You need to be careful and cautious, so as not to be harmed by it."

Finally, the shadow official's gaze fell on Zhang Xuanwei, who was silent at the side, with a look of mockery in his eyes.

"Is this the mage who has recently gained fame in Chang'an City?"

"Hmph, in my opinion, he's just a master at pretending to be crazy."

"As for whether you are truly stupid or just pretending to be stupid, I'm afraid only you know."

The film official's blunt comments left everyone present with mixed feelings.

Especially Wu Meiniang. When she realized that the other party was also a woman, and from her words and deeds it was not difficult to guess that she must be a powerful person in the Shadow Secret Guard, Wu Meiniang's mood underwent subtle changes.

For a moment, she couldn't help but admire the mysterious film official in front of her.

Wu Meiniang bowed slightly, bowed respectfully, and asked softly, "Official, may I ask why you have gone to so much trouble to bring us, two humble county magistrates, here? Is there anything you need our help with?"

The film officer shook his head slightly.

"No need. If one day our secret party needs the help of you two little county magistrates, then our secret party will be truly finished."

Seeing this, Di Renjie took a step forward, his posture straight, and with a firm expression, he bowed and said, "Then may I ask what the Shadow Official is doing? Please tell me frankly."

"Since we have been involved, we have the right to know the truth."

The shadow official seemed amused by Di Renjie's courage. He chuckled and said, "Forget it, don't call me the shadow official. There is more than one shadow official in the secret party."

"If you like, you can just call me Sickle Officer. Remember the sickle."

"Yes, Sickle Officer." Di Renjie and others responded in unison.

"Since you're all here, I won't keep you in suspense."

The sickle officer's voice suddenly became serious.

"Those officials involved in the missing cases were dealt with by our Shadow Secret Guards."

"These people are corrupt and pervert the law. Instead of fulfilling their duties, they abuse their power to embezzle and accept bribes, enriching themselves, and seriously damaging the interests of the court and the welfare of the people."

"We were the ones who escorted their bodies out of the city. They left Chang'an openly under the escort of the Imperial Guards."

“It’s just that they don’t dare to say it.”

"Don't worry, when you return to Chang'an, this missing person case will be closed."

Having said that, the sickle officer sighed slightly.

"As for why we're going to such great lengths to handle this matter, I'm not entirely sure. Only the Marshal knows the reason. However, I think it's most likely for you!"

"Me?" When Di Renjie and Wu Meiniang heard this, they couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise and pointed at themselves in disbelief.

They really couldn't understand how two small county magistrates could have been so worthy as to be involved in such a confidential matter and cause such a big fuss among the Shadow Secret Guards.

The sickle officer looked at their reactions, nodded slowly, and said affirmatively: "Don't doubt it, it's all for you."

"Perhaps there's something unique about you that His Majesty noticed, or perhaps the Marshal saw something in you that was unique. In any case, you've been selected."

She paused, glanced at everyone, her eyes revealing anticipation.

"But don't be nervous. This is just a recruitment meeting for you to join our secret party."

"Relax and consider this a rare opportunity. In the Secret Party, you will have access to more secrets and power. While serving His Majesty, you will also be able to realize your own value."

When she heard that it was a recruitment meeting, the tense feeling in Wu Meiniang's heart suddenly relaxed. She sighed softly, and a look of relief appeared on her face.

This is a great opportunity for her.

However, Di Renjie's expression became more and more solemn, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed deep worry.

Whether joining it will be a blessing or a curse is still unknown.

After a moment, Di Renjie bowed again and asked, "May I ask, Officer Jian, what will happen if we don't agree to this recruitment meeting?"

Upon hearing this, the sickle officer raised his head slightly, with a teasing look in his eyes.

"Little brother, you are a natural prodigy, destined to be an official, and you don't need to turn over a book. It's better not to say some things too clearly, so as not to hurt everyone's feelings."

"Do you agree?"

The threat in those words was self-evident, and the atmosphere in the entire hall instantly dropped to freezing point, and everyone's hearts were hanging in the balance.
