As he brushed the dust off Long Aotian, he said, "Lord Shen, I wasn't the one who tied you up just now. You need to see clearly..."

Upon hearing this, Wen Tao immediately flew into a rage. He pointed at Jiang Shougang, about to curse him, but then rushed forward and pushed him aside. The two of them took turns trying to straighten his clothes.

"Beichuan, Beichuan has been captured." Long Aotian grabbed the two of them, trembling as he said, "If you come with me to rescue him, I'll let you two go. Otherwise, you can just wash your necks and wait to die!"

In truth, he didn't have that authority. Dong Fuguang lent him the token only to mobilize troops to eliminate those thieves. However, he just wanted to scare these two, otherwise they wouldn't obey.

Sure enough, Wen Tao and Jiang Shou immediately became obedient after hearing this.

The Left Commander of the Huayi Mansion in Jingcheng is an official of the fourth rank!

The leader they were now following, Lin Boguang, was only a mere sixth-rank official.

Moreover, Qianzhou is located in the south. Although its waterways are convenient, its land routes are rugged and rife with poisonous miasma, making it a central region. How could officials in a central region compare to those in the capital of the Celestial Empire?

Wen Tao: "You, you, and all of you, come with me!"

Jiang Shou: "If they are my subordinates, they will obey Lord Shen's orders!"

In a short while, a dozen or twenty people stood behind Long Aotian.

But these people usually eat, drink, and have fun with Wen Tao and Jiang Shou. Now that they hear that they have to go with Shen Congxin to deal with those vicious criminals, they immediately back down.

"Ouch, my stomach hurts, I just need to use the restroom..."

"I suddenly remembered, my wife is going to give birth today..."

“She and I are from the same family, I’m going to go see her give birth…”

Such a large town, the Night Watch, couldn't even muster twenty men...

Wen Tao whispered to Jiang Shou, "Brother, do you really think Shen Congxin will let us go now that he's in power? Otherwise, we should..." As he spoke, he spread his palm out and placed it flat on his neck, making a gesture as if to silence him.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shou frowned deeply: "Lord Lin has been missing for the past few days. It's said that there's trouble at the maritime market..."

"This matter is of great importance; perhaps we should consult Lord Lin first..."

It was at this moment that a stunningly beautiful figure appeared in the nearby Zhenye Sigong Hall.

"Lord Shen, since you have the waist token of the Left Commander of the Huayi Palace, I, Luo Hongyan, have come uninvited and will obey your orders today!" A man dressed in a red outfit, with his long hair tied back in a ponytail, was seen carrying a finely crafted horizontal sword.

In the Zhenye Division, besides Lin Boguang, who is a Hundred-Patrol Officer, there are three other Hundred-Patrol Officers, and Luo Hongyan is the chief patrol officer under the other three Hundred-Patrol Officers.

The three inspectors often clashed and secretly sabotaged each other.

Previously, Shen Congxin and Lin Boguang had always been at odds. If it were someone else, the other three Hundred Inspectors would have already extended an olive branch and recruited him.

Unfortunately, Shen Congxin was simply too incompetent and useless. Therefore, the other three inspectors didn't take any action. After all, no one wants a useless subordinate.

Now, Shen Congxin has somehow obtained the waist token of the Left Commander of the Huayi Mansion, so his value is now completely different from before!

"Thank you!"

Long Aotian did not refuse Luo Hongyan's kindness, because in Shen Congxin's memory, Luo Hongyan was an upright and straightforward person who was strict with her subordinates and responsible for her jurisdiction. She was a rare and excellent chief inspector.

Wen Tao: "Luo Hongyan, what do you mean? Lord Shen is under Lord Lin's jurisdiction, just like us. It's none of your business to interfere!"

Jiang Shou also chimed in at this moment: "Isn't what you're doing clearly an attempt to oppose us? I advise you to think twice before you act!"

But Luo Hongyan shrugged, her face, which held a touch of heroism, completely indifferent: "Say whatever you want. If Lord Lin has any objections, then we'll go and confront Luo Qianxun."

"you……"

Wen Tao and Jiang Shou were furious, but there was nothing they could do...

However, Long Aotian was not in a hurry to take them away from Zhenye Division, because the gang of thieves had now disappeared, and it would take some time to find their hideout in the vast city of Qianzhou.

He sent a portion of his men to the Shi family to protect his wife, and dispatched the majority of his men to inquire about the situation on the streets.

Finally, he asked Luo Hongyan for another map of Qianzhou City...

And so they sat in the courtyard of the Town Night Guard from dawn till dusk.

Although he had previously speculated that they should have three locations, each time the patrol officers returned from their investigations, they found nothing. This made him wonder if he had made a mistake in his judgment.

……

Maritime market.

On the fourth large ship, a lively dance is taking place. Hot dancers wearing dresses as light as gauze are swaying their graceful figures, while the people sitting on both sides are all wearing strange masks.

"What a pity, such a good place is about to close down." Suddenly, a man wearing a red demon mask sighed, "And all of this is your subordinate's fault!"

"Please calm down, sir." Although the other person was also wearing a mask, his identity was revealed as soon as he spoke. He was none other than the damned Lin Boguang who coveted another man's wife!

"Hmph, you want me to calm down? I think you'd better think about how to explain this to your superiors!" The man wearing the red demon mask sneered, "Is it really that hard for you to snatch a woman in Qianzhou City? Especially since she's already down on her luck!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Boguang hurriedly explained, "My lord, you don't know this. According to our original plan, that woman's useless husband, Shen Congxin, was supposed to be expelled from the Zhenye Division at the end of this month, but..."

"But what?"

"But recently, for some reason, he seems to have become a different person. Not only is he no longer as mediocre as before, but he has even received help from the Left Commander of the Huayi Mansion in Jingcheng..."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, the adult wearing the red demon mask changed his expression slightly.

He immediately stroked his stubble and muttered to himself, "It's her..."

"My lord, what should we do now?" Lin Boguang asked the official for his opinion very cautiously.

"I did hear some time ago that the Left Commander of Jingcheng, Lord Dongfu Guangdong, left Huayi Mansion. It turns out he's come to Qianzhou City." The official wearing the red demon mask said, "What can we do now? Lay low for the time being!"

"Starting today, close the maritime market and relocate those people elsewhere. Once things have calmed down, you can arrange for them to leave Qianzhou." The man wearing the red demon mask raised his hand and said, "Remember, don't give anything away. You must get her no matter what!"

"Yes, I understand..."
