Once I enter the pass, great Confucian scholars will surely debate the classics for me.

Zhou Qingfeng said, "Oh? Which details does Supervisor Luo think need further discussion?"

Luo Bingyi was inwardly flustered, but outwardly remained calm, saying, "Who will be responsible for investigating the traitor?"

It's too late to oppose the investigation of internal spies; the matter is already settled. The only option left is to work on the position of the person in charge of the investigation, placing one of our own people in it, and putting the "knife" of the investigation back in our own hands. Otherwise, the situation will become very passive.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingfeng calmly asked, "Does Supervisor Luo have any candidates to recommend?"

Luo Bingyi smiled and said, "Zhai Xingyuan is a bold and meticulous man. He is particularly good at winning by surprise and being ingenious. He has worked diligently in the Fifth Division for many years and has made countless contributions without ever making a mistake."

"He is a person of integrity, brave and decisive, and has even shed blood for the Sword Tower on the front lines of the battlefield, earning military merits. Whether in terms of character and personal morality or in terms of ability, he is a good candidate."

Zhou Qingfeng took a sip of tea and said lightly, "Deputy Supervisor Zhai is no good. I've been in the Fifth Division for quite some time now and I've heard rumors that Deputy Supervisor Zhai likes to form cliques and bend the law for personal gain."

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.

All the officials present turned their gazes toward Zhai Xingyuan, their expressions varied. They were all surprised that Zhou Qingfeng would publicly accuse Zhai Xingyuan of forming cliques and abusing his power. This was tantamount to slapping Zhai Xingyuan in the face in public.

Upon hearing this, Zhai Xingyuan's expression changed instantly.

Luo Bingyi remained calm and composed, saying, "Deputy Commander Zhou, this is just a rumor. Rumors should not be taken at face value. Although Zhai Xingyuan enjoys dining, drinking, and watching plays with his colleagues, it is merely a matter of social interaction among colleagues. To say that he is forming cliques is an overstatement, and as for bending the law for personal gain, that is utter nonsense."

Zhou Qingfeng smiled faintly: "Manager Luo, there's no smoke without fire. If there are rumors, there must be a reason. They don't appear out of nowhere. Even if they're not completely true, there might be some factual basis to them."

"In my opinion, we should wait until the rumors are verified before discussing whether to give Deputy Director Zhai an important position."

Luo Bingyi was speechless and could only recommend others instead: "Yan Wenjiu is also very good. He is resourceful, reliable, and always works alone. He is very proper in his conduct and actions."

Zhou Qingfeng glanced at Yan Wenjiu with a smile and said, "Steward Yan won't do either. I heard as soon as I arrived at the Fifth Bureau that our Steward Yan is a womanizer. He stays out all night, indulging in the pleasures of women. Entrusting such an important matter to him, I'm afraid our Steward Yan won't be able to handle it."

It's really not a big deal for officials to patronize prostitutes.

Which official doesn't frequent prostitutes? It's not uncommon for officials to visit nine beauties at once in Jianta.

The problem is that Zhou Qingfeng is using this as an excuse to criticize an official who stays out all night and frequents prostitutes. Can he shoulder important responsibilities? He probably has all his thoughts on women, so how can he handle important matters?

"Hehehe..." The officials present could only smile in response to Zhou Qingfeng's 'teasing' of Yan Wenjiu.

Yan Wenjiu lowered his head, feeling utterly ashamed. Being dragged out and publicly executed was a truly unpleasant experience. He was filled with remorse, but he could only endure it and could not lash out.

Seeing this, Luo Bingyi took a sip of tea to cover his embarrassment. After failing to recommend two people in a row, he realized that Zhou Qingfeng had made thorough preparations and at least had a basic understanding of himself and the students.

It's impossible to find any major problems from this basic information.

However, nitpicking minor flaws and making a mountain out of a molehill is enough to eliminate people from the pool.

Zhou Qingfeng smiled and said, "Alright, I appreciate Supervisor Luo's good intentions in recommending capable people, but I already have someone in mind for the specific task of investigating the mole, so there's no need for Supervisor Luo to worry about it."

Luo Bingyi feigned nonchalance and smiled slightly: "This humble official is quite curious, who does Deputy Commander Zhou intend to employ?"

Zhou Qingfeng tapped the table lightly with his fingers in a rhythmic manner and said with a normal expression, "You must have heard of this person. He is Xiao Hongyun of the Sixth Bureau of Demon Suppression. He was specially transferred by the City Lord's Mansion to assist me in solving the case of the Killing Official Pill."

"The current investigation into the internal traitors within the Fifth Division is actually inextricably linked to the case of the Killing Official Pill, so I have decided that Xiao Hongyun is the best candidate to lead the specific work of this investigation into the internal traitors."

"Firstly, he is not one of our Fifth Division's Plum Blossom Division and has no connection with us. This eliminates the possibility of favoritism, corruption, or collusion, and fully guarantees that the investigation results will be fair, just, and transparent."

"Secondly, as a member of the Sixth Division of the Demon Suppression Bureau, he has always been on field missions, leading teams to supervise the judicial and administrative work of castles in various places, and also taking on the responsibility of suppressing demons and monsters. He is experienced and capable enough to take on important responsibilities."

After speaking, Zhou Qingfeng nodded to Xiao Hongyun, who was at the end of the line. Xiao Hongyun, who had been silent until now, immediately stood up, clasped his hands in a salute to the dozen or so mid- to high-ranking officials present, and introduced himself with a smile.

“My name is Xiao Hongyun. The city lord has assigned me to assist in the investigation. I will investigate the matter of the traitor within your Fifth Division thoroughly and clearly. I will never wrong an innocent person, nor will I let a bad person go unpunished.”

The officials present frowned as they looked at Xiao Hongyun, who was dressed in white. To be honest, they all thought that the person in charge of investigating the traitor might be Jin Wei, Zhi Qi, or even Zhou Qingfeng himself.

But unexpectedly, it was the famous Xiao Hongyun.

They had heard of Xiao Hongyun's name like thunder; his mere ranking third on the Heavenly Ranking was enough for them to remember him, not to mention that he had a nickname in the Sixth Division of Demon Suppression: the Blade of Judgment.

Why is he called the Blade of Judgment? Because he often represents the city lord on field missions. Wherever he goes, if local officials break the law and act recklessly, and unfortunately fall into his hands, he will often say that it is all fate's arrangement, and then make a fair judgment on the merits and demerits of the local officials.

Over time, it came to be known as the Blade of Judgment.

Moreover, this person has high cultivation talent and outstanding abilities. He comes from the First Family. Although he is now a free man, he still has many connections with the First Family. His master is the God-Slaying Madman Martial God. It is said that he is also an old friend of Zhou Qingfeng. How could they not have heard of such a person?

Zhou Qingfeng glanced around and smiled faintly: "From today onwards, Xiao Hongyun will be in charge of investigating the traitors, and will only report to me, until the traitor hidden in our Fifth Division is found. Does anyone have any objections?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Bingyi sighed inwardly. He had done his best, but things had come to this point, and there was no way to stop it now. This was a trap set by Zhou Qingfeng, and the only way to break it would probably be to find a better strategy.

Seeing that Luo Bingyi remained silent, the two deputy supervisors Zhai Xingyuan and Che Yuxuan, the four main managers Yan Wenjiu and Bi Muge, Hao Duanhun and Pei Xingchun, and other core members of the Luo family gang, all wisely chose to keep quiet as well.

As for the four deputy directors, they had no say whatsoever. All they could do was nod and agree. They were just there to go through the motions, listen to what their superiors were talking about and what they were going to do, and then be responsible for the specific execution.

Seeing that no one objected anymore, Zhou Qingfeng felt refreshed and stood up with a smile, clapping his hands: "Alright, the meeting is over. Everyone can go home and do what they need to do."
