The place Han Dong chose to hide was the compartment where he was previously sleeping and cultivating.
The female zombie with her hair tied up in a bun quickly returned. Her face was full of panic, even the heart cleansing talisman on her forehead was completely dyed black due to the rising corpse energy in her body.
"Mr. Han, the people from the secret department are here!
They probably found out that you are here in advance and have already sealed off the entire residence … Even father can't hold them off for long, it's only a matter of time before they find you.
You must think about how to explain the removal of the 'corpse gu', especially since there's a serious criminal among you. "
"The secret department …"
Han Dong had heard of this term a long time ago.
Once in the oil workshop district.
When Zhang Xiliang first met Han Dong, he mistook him for an official from the secret department because of the spatial secret technique he used.
It was probably a department that specialized in secret techniques. It was very different from the regular [Six Ministries], it even had higher authority.
"The secret department should be a department that specializes in 'corpse gu', that's why they directly found us … They should have a closer relationship with the emperor.
Miss Ruoying, please prepare some paper and brushes for me, as many as you have.
The secret department should give some face to Governor Wang, there should be enough time. "
"Paper and brushes?"
Although the female zombie didn't quite understand, she still immediately did as she was told.
A stack of rice paper, an ink tray, and several brushes.
Squeak ~
Five tentacles grew out from the back of Han Dong's head. He picked up the brushes and began to quickly write on the paper with his hands.
The female zombie Ruoying watched from the side. Although she knew every word, she couldn't understand them when they were all connected together. She could only roughly tell that Han Dong was writing a manuscript similar to a research report.
This kind of writing speed was several times faster than other people copying books, the female zombie was dazzled.
Thesis writing was a basic skill for Han Dong. He already had a lot of knowledge and a basic thesis framework in his head. All he needed to do was to combine the information and the framework, and he would be able to write an extremely confusing research paper immediately.
…
In the main hall of the residence.
Governor Wang's expression was extremely ugly.
The assistant minister of the secret department who came to the door had the emperor's handwritten order. The removal of the corpse gu in the heads of many high ranking officials had already attracted the attention of the imperial court.
Just as the search was about to begin.
The wooden door of the cubicle on the first floor opened.
Han Dong appeared to be engrossed in his research. He held a stack of rice paper in his hand, as if he was preparing to meet someone.
Because he was too focused on the content on the xuan paper, he only noticed the tense situation in the hall after walking for a while.
"Black and gold official robes, Gu insignia … Secret Department, you're finally here!
I am the assistant of "Alchemist Long Jing" Chen Xinying. Some time ago, when I was researching zombies, I accidentally discovered some 'drawbacks' of the [Corpse Gu].
During the research, he accidentally removed the Corpse Gu from his brain.
"Because we still have important cooperation with Governor Wang, Commander Feng Kui, and Manager Huang of the Ministry of War's Mechanism Department in the barracks, besides researching corpse Gu these days, we have also been running about in the depths of the Yao territory for the recovery of Governor Wang's legs. We haven't had time to report this to our superiors.
I thought that you would come down and reequip us with Corpse Parasites. "
Han Dong deliberately raised his voice so that everyone in the mansion could hear him.
His companions, who were hiding in different rooms, all pretended to be normal as they walked out.
Chen Xinying glanced at the document in Han Dong's hand and immediately understood the meaning behind it.
"Han Dong, quickly show your research manuscript to Assistant Minister Yan."
"Yes."
Han Dong respectfully presented the manuscript. It recorded in detail the Faceless' skull's comprehensive analysis of the [Corpse Gu], as well as Han Dong's detailed improvement plan based on his own understanding of the situation.
Assistant Minister of the Secret Department, Yan Bowen.
He was a specialist in charge of the creation and management of the [Corpse Gu].
When he examined the research report given by Han Dong, his eyes under the wooden mask revealed a strange luster, and he almost cried out in surprise.
The value of the manuscript continued to increase while he was reading it.
Not only did it record the 'drawbacks' known to the Secret Department, it also proposed measures to fix the drawbacks from different angles, and even some methods that he had never thought of before.
Assistant Minister Yan restrained his excitement and pretended to be calm as he asked, "Was this manuscript completed by Chen Fangshi?"
Chen Xinying did not know anything about the content of the manuscript, so she quickly explained:
"No, more than 90% of it was completed by my … good friend."
With this, Assistant Minister of the Secret Department shifted all his attention to Han Dong.
Originally, he was prepared to thoroughly investigate the [Corpse Gu] incident with the emperor's handwritten order, but he no longer cared about the specifics … Since everyone was here, he only needed to reassemble the [Corpse Gu] for them.
More importantly, the young man who created this research manuscript was the most important.
Assistant Minister Yan asked, "Han Dong, you don't seem to belong to any faction in the imperial court?"
"Yes … I have always been indebted to Chen Fangshi.
I completed the Core Condensation on my own under the condition that she provided me with materials and a training field. After that, I have been following her and assisting with some of the more troublesome matters. "
"Are you interested in going to the Secret Department with me?"
"I have to ask Chen Fangshi's opinion."
Chen Xinying was also in a state of confusion. She couldn't understand how this renowned Assistant Minister Yan could ignore the problem at hand just because of a research manuscript.
No matter how she looked at it, there was something wrong with this group of people gathered here.
"I have no objections. Han Dong is just my friend, not my Corpse Servant."
"Alright, Han Dong will follow me to the Secret Department … You all should return to the imperial court as soon as possible and reassemble the [Corpse Gu]."
"Yes!"
…
The incident happened suddenly.
However, Han Dong could only beat them at their own game and change his path.
After his experience on Mount Yueshen, his' main goal 'was very clear — obtain the right to meet the emperor and meet the [Tomb Lord].
Since Governor Wang was in a difficult position, he would take the opportunity to go to the Secret Department and obtain the right to meet the emperor through the Secret Department.
Governor Wang's favor would be kept here. When he returned to his position as the Minister of War, it would naturally be useful.
"Assistant Minister Yan, I am also very good friends with Manager Huang from the Ministry of Works. He will return to the central Ministry of Works after some time. Why don't I go with him?"
"The Secret Department is different from the other six departments. It is a special department directly under the emperor.
Every time the Secret Department recruits a new person, they must be personally vetted by the emperor. Only those who are completely loyal to the imperial court and the emperor can become a [Secret Officer] … This manuscript will be your stepping stone.
Therefore, I have to personally lead you there.
I suggest you finish whatever you have to do quickly. I can wait for you here for an hour. "
"Alright."
When he heard that he could meet the emperor in advance, Han Dong's face lit up.
Although this kind of meeting did not belong to meeting the emperor but was equivalent to a qualification check, as long as he could get close to the emperor, Han Dong's goal would be achieved.
