Seven-star Sword Master

Chapter 225 Choice

"My Lord, what happened?"

But when the guards entered the cell, they saw several bodies lying on the ground, most of which were their colleagues;

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that one of the bodies is that of the very important criminal Ding Zhichang.

"What's going on?" How could this happen?

The noise at the scene began to become noisy.

Hearing the guards questioning each other, Liu Xiangyang laughed in anger:

"What's going on? You asked me what's going on, and I wanted to ask you what's going on!"

Although the voice was soft, one could hear the anger in Liu Xiangyang's heart that was about to be uncontrollable.

"This……"

The fear and confusion on the faces of the guards guarding the cells could not be concealed.

"What's wrong, sir?"

Not long after, Ma Jinbao, who heard the whistle from Liu Xiangyang before, hurried over.

"Ding Zhichang is dead."

After Ma Jinbao came in, Lu Feipeng looked at the corpses on the ground.

After a careful inspection, it was found that these guards did not have any wounds on their bodies. Judging from the foam coming out of the corners of their mouths, these guards had obviously died of poisoning.

He looked at the four bodies on the ground one by one and found that they were all the same. Seeing this, Lu Feipeng walked to the bodies of the people in the electronics factory and squatted down. He saw that Ding Zhichang's eyes were filled with fear, and it was obvious that he was watching the person in front of him die with his eyes open.

There were still traces of white foam at the corners of Ding Zhichang's mouth, so he must have died of poisoning;

However, there was a wound on his chest. From this wound, it was obvious that after feeding him poison, the murderer seemed to be afraid that Ding Zhichang would not die, so he stabbed him in the chest with a sword.

Liu Xiangyang also checked the bodies and realized that this was a case of embezzlement and that something must have gone wrong with one of the guards.

"Are these four the only guards on duty in the cell? Has anyone else entered or left the cell since our interrogation today?"

At this time, a cell manager stood up. He lowered his head as if he didn't dare to look at Liu Xiangyang, and answered in a somewhat weak tone:

"My Lord, there have always been four people guarding the cell. No one else has entered the cell since you left."

Hearing this, Liu Xiangyang's face turned gloomy. He stood up and instructed Ma Jinbao beside him:

"Manager Ma, please follow up on this matter and send professionals to check on these people. I want to know who did this."

"Okay, sir. I will arrange for professionals to come and check it out."

"Master Lu, let's go first. We have other things to do later."

The two of them were silent along the way. After returning to Liu Xiangyang's study, Liu Xiangyang immediately turned on the soundproofing array in the room.

Then, without saying anything, he took out two sub-communication talismans from his storage bag, stretched out his hand to cast a spell, and muttered something to the talismans;

"go with!"

The two communication talismans simultaneously turned into a beam of light and disappeared into the room. After doing all this, Liu Xiangyang looked at Lu Feipeng and said:

"This group of people is really omnipresent. We have been on high alert day and night, but we never thought that they could bribe ordinary people. This group of people really taught us a lesson."

One of the two communication talismans he sent just now was reported to the Fanyang County Inspection Office, and the other was sent to Shen Changming;

After all, Shen Changming had just reminded them, and when they turned around, they found that Ding Zhichang was dead. If they didn't send a message to Shen Changming to explain, it would easily cause misunderstandings later.

Shen Changming, who was returning to Ningtai Township along the same route, let out a long sigh after receiving the message from Liu Xiangyang!

When he informed Liu Xiangyang before, he already had the idea in his mind that another member would be silenced as well;

What if that person was not silenced?

But when he really got the news, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

It seems that in the future, when important prisoners are detained, the guards must arrange patrol guards to guard them. The patrol guards have taken an oath when they enter the patrol department;

They are all bound by their oaths and will not easily betray the Inspection Department.

The two discussed the matter again, and finally, with an attitude of giving it a try, Liu Xiangyang asked Lu Feipeng:

"Lord Lu, do you have any other clues about the Blood Red Alliance?"

Lu Feipeng shook his head and said, "Master Liu, we were lucky to capture Ding Zhichang and Yang Fan. How can I look for other clues?"

Liu Xiangyang could only nod helplessly. If it weren't for Lu Feipeng, they wouldn't even know about the new cult organizations like the Blood Red Alliance...

Liu Xiangyang casually threw a jade slip to Lu Feipeng and said:

"Master Lu, do you know anyone here? Ding Zhichang is the head of Ningtai Township. His position cannot be left vacant. See if there is anyone suitable to take over the position of head of Ningtai Township."

"Master Liu, you must be joking. I have only been in Ningtai Township for a short time, how could I know him..."

He stopped talking before he finished.

What's more, he actually came across a familiar name here, Xu Zhiping;

On the first night when Lu Feipeng arrived in Ningtai Township, Fatty Zhou welcomed him at Chunhua Tower, but he did not stay overnight at Chunhua Tower and got lost after leaving.

And Xu Zhiping was the young constable who scolded him.

"If Lord Liu doesn't have a suitable candidate, then let him be the one."

Then Lu Feipeng told about what happened between him and Xu Zhiping.

"Clang clang clang!"

Just when Lu Feipeng and Liu Xiangyang were discussing something in the room, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Liu Xiangyang waved his hand and removed the soundproofing array in the room. Seeing that it was Ma Jinbao who came in, he asked:

"Are the results out?"

Ma Jinbao shook his head and said:

"Wait a minute, it turns out that Lord Shen is back. But when Lord Shen arrived, he went straight to the place where he stayed before."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Lu Feipeng and the other man looked at each other, then walked out and went to the room where Shen Changming had been before.

It seems that Shen Changming's injuries are not as serious as he said before, otherwise he would not have gone straight to the place where he lived before without saying hello.

You know, although Shen Changming is the Annan envoy and his rank is one level higher than theirs, this is Ningtai Township after all, and they are the masters here.

No matter what, when Shen Changming came here, he had to say hello to the owner of this place.

"My lord, how are you injured?"

After obtaining Shen Changming's consent, the two entered Shen Changming's room.

Although he had changed his bloodstained robe and there was no sign of injury, some clues could be vaguely seen from his extremely pale face.

"I'm fine."

Shen Changming waved his hand and briefly recounted what happened to him on the way. At the end, he reminded the two people that if they had nothing to do during this period, they should not go out easily. He wondered whether the two Nascent Soul cultivators who attacked him had left.

After asking about the work, Liu Xiangyang left. After all, Shen Changming still needed to heal his injuries.

But Lu Feipeng was kept by Shen Changming.

"What do you want, sir?"

"That's right, Master Lu. On behalf of our sect, I would like to extend an invitation to you to join our sect.

Although our sect is not as rich as those guys from the noble families, nor as powerful as the Inspection Department;

But our sect also has things they don't have, such as loyal subordinates and skills. This is what our sect has;

Our sect is made up of countless forces in Da Qi, with countless disciples and countless skills. As long as you, Lord Lu, ask for any top-level skills, we can get them for you."

Hearing this, Lu Feipeng smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that even though Shen Changming was so injured, he still didn't forget to win him over.

He didn't know whether to feel grateful or honored.

However, this also reminded him that he could not delay joining any more forces, as the matter had become urgent.

In response to this, Lu Feipeng had to say tactfully that he needed to think about it.

Shen Changming did not say much. For a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage like him, it was already a great thing for him to personally invite a cultivator in the Spiritual Liquid stage.

It was impossible for him to put aside his pride and send out invitations again and again, and this matter was indeed a big deal, so he should consider it carefully.

"Well, Lord Lu, please give me a reply after you have considered it."

After leaving Shen Changming's room, Lu Feipeng returned to his study and began to seriously consider the previous problem.

For the sake of his future career, he must make a choice.

He carefully analyzed the four forces entrenched in the Inspection Department in his mind.

Oh, no, it’s the three major forces. He won’t consider the side without Xiao Jiji. Is there any door?

Among the three forces, the aristocratic families are the richest, but most of the people behind them are the top dignitaries of Da Qi. The class distinction is very clear, and they are not free.

There is no way he would be bound by others just for a little money!

The sect seems to be good, it has people, money, power, and everything else you need.

Oh, and there are also some martial arts techniques. Shen Changming said it well, and he could get any martial arts techniques he wanted.

But think about it, why would someone else's sect's secret techniques be given to an outsider?

The inheritance of a sect is more important than anything else. This idea is deeply rooted and cannot be changed by a few words.

From this we can see that the skills the sect can give him are nothing more than some second-rate stuff!

Moreover, with Lord Long behind him, he has no shortage of skills and money.

Then the only remaining options are the people from the Inspection Department’s headquarters, as they are not constrained by so many rules and regulations and can do whatever they want.

The disadvantage is that if you join the main department, you have to fight for your own training resources, money, and manpower;

However, Lu Feipeng, who has Lord Long by his side, doesn't have to worry about this at all.

Thinking of this, Lu Feipeng had already made a decision in his heart.

Thinking of this, Lu Feipeng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and murmured to himself:

"Since you have decided to join the Inspection Department, I will give Liu Xiangyang a greeting gift."
