[Secret Department]
It was a special department set up after the Xuanmen Coup.
The original intention of its creation was to ensure that there would not be a large-scale coup that could threaten the Tomb Lord's position.
Through secret methods, a type of "corpse gu" was created in the brains of all zombies that did not interfere with their subjective consciousness. It became the basic method of the Secret Department to control the fate of the country.
Although the Secret Department was as famous as the Six Divisions, because every secret officer had to obtain the approval of the Tomb Lord, the total number of secret officers never exceeded twenty.
Its office was remodeled from the Imperial Pharmacy and was only a thousand steps away from the Taiji Gate.
The air of the Secret Department was filled with a strong medicinal smell, mixed with the nauseating stench of corpses.
"Han Dong, regarding the 'corpse gu flaw' mentioned in your manuscript, can you start the related work in a short time? We need to produce results as soon as possible. "
"Sir Yan, can you wait for me for two hours?"
"Naturally, I will give you time to rest.
After all, you just went to Taiji Palace and the pressure from the Emperor is a great burden on your body. I will give you a day to rest, and you can start the related work tomorrow. "
"No need, two hours is enough."
Han Dong finished the manuscript that he had hastily written in an hour.
Holding the new manuscript that was three times as thick as the previous one, he went straight to Assistant Minister Yan's office.
Yan Bowen immediately examined the more detailed manuscript in front of him.
Not only did it explain in detail the reasons for the corpse gu's flaw, it also explained in detail how to solve it.
The more Yan Bowen read, the more confused he became.
He did not understand how Han Dong had managed to write such a manuscript when he lacked all kinds of facilities.
Of course, he did not know that Han Dong had a universal analyzer in his head.
When Assistant Minister Yan read the last page of the manuscript in one breath, a jade token emitting a black aura slid out of the paper, scaring him so much that he almost fell off his chair.
"This is the death jade!"
Han Dong put a finger to his lips and said in a low voice, "Assistant Minister Yan, please keep the matter of the death jade a secret. I need to use the identity of a [Secret Officer] to hide my daily whereabouts and help the Emperor secretly deal with some matters.
I hope Assistant Minister Yan will try not to give me too much work. "
Assistant Minister Yan was completely dumbfounded.
Han Dong had the Death Jade, which meant that his authority was far greater than that of an assistant minister. How could he dare to arrange any work … Moreover, Han Dong had already given him an incomparably detailed research manuscript, so he only needed to follow the method written on it.
"Who exactly are you … Forget it, I have no right to ask.
With the death jade, you are the Emperor's special envoy. I will obey all your requests, and I will keep everything about Shang Yu a secret.
Is there anything I can do to help? "
"Lord Yan, have you been to the Chain District at the bottom of the military camp and the Earth Evil Spirits Hall where the corpses of important officials are kept?"
"Yes, but I've only been there once on official business.
Also, with your current status, it's more appropriate for me to call you Lord Han. "
"This is also a part of hiding my identity. Lord Yan, just think of me as a newly appointed secret officer. You don't have to be too restrained … I'm just using Shang Yu to do some things.
If I give this research manuscript to other secret officers, they should be able to understand it and follow the steps to remove the defects of the corpse parasite … Why don't I leave the manuscript to my subordinates, and Lord Yan can take me to these two places? "
Han Dong's idea was very simple.
He was not familiar with the areas he was about to go to.
If there was a leak during this period and the 'danger' lurking in the dark knew about it, the situation could become troublesome.
With Assistant Minister Yan's identity, it would be normal for him to go to these two areas in the name of the secret department.
"Okay."
Shang Yu was like an imperial edict that could be changed at will. Yan Bowen could not refuse Han Dong's request.
Thinking about it carefully, it was a little funny. A few hours ago, Han Dong was just a secret officer candidate that he had accidentally discovered. Now, he was directly above him. The speed at which he turned from guest to host was too fast.
"When do we leave?"
"Now."
Han Dong had already slept for three days and three nights during his return from the demon region.
In addition, he had a series of conversations with the Tomb Lord. He was full of energy … Han Dong could not wait to obtain another 'share' in a high-level world. No matter how many shares he had, it would be enough as long as he could ask for help at a critical moment.
Furthermore, it was definitely worth it to invest in the extremely talented Tomb Lord.
…
[Earth Emanations Hall]
It was located at the rear right of the palace area.
Compared to the other palaces, which were guarded by the Black Zombies from the Ministry of Justice and Ministry of War, Earth Emanations Hall was exceptionally quiet. There was only a decaying and dilapidated coffin in the front yard.
It was also because of the existence of this coffin that Earth Emanations Hall's human traffic in the past hundred years was only in the single digits.
"Due to special reasons, the security of Earth Emanations Hall is personally supervised by the Black Zombie with the highest seniority in the Embroidered Uniform Guards. His name is Yan Quan. Even though he is old, his strength is enough to rank in the top three of the current Embroidered Uniform Guards.
Due to his strange temper, I rarely interact with him. "
Yan Bowen led Han Dong to the decaying wooden coffin.
A voice filled with murderous intent immediately sounded from within.
"Assistant Minister Yan, why have you come to Earth Emanations Hall? I have not received any notice regarding the Secret Department's work. If there is nothing else, please leave quickly. Do not disturb my rest. "
"I have important matters to attend to."
Yan Bowen secretly tapped the 'Death Jade' on the surface of the coffin.
"Hm?!"
The coffin's lid was suddenly pushed open, and a rotten smell wafted out.
An old zombie that was severely decayed and had exposed a large amount of white bones suddenly opened its eyes and sat up.
"Who do you want to visit?"
"Grand Secretary Du Zhijing."
"What's the matter … Forget it, follow me."
Yan Quan swallowed his habitual question.
With the Death Jade here, even if the two people in front of him wanted to move all the corpses of Earth Emanations Hall away, he had no right to question them.
A heavy saber that was about nine feet long, with skulls embedded in its hilt, was carried on Yan Quan's back.
The saturation of the flesh in his body was only thirty percent, and most of his body was completely covered in white bones. The Corpse Collection that he cultivated was also related to bones … Every step he took would produce an exaggerated sound of bones rubbing against each other.
"After passing through this corridor, you will reach the inner palace where Grand Secretary Du is kept.
According to the rules, only one person can enter at a time. Assistant Minister Yan, this follower will stay outside. You can go in alone. "
Unexpectedly …
Assistant Minister Yan remained at the door. The one who stepped into the corridor of the inner palace was the 'follower' who had been silent the entire time.
"We are only here to investigate a small matter. Let this subordinate of mine go in and do it."
"A small matter?"
…
Due to the isolation of the passageways in the extravagantly decorated inner palace, there was no stench of rotting corpses. Instead, it was unusually fragrant.
A thin and frail corpse was kept in a crystal coffin in the middle of the inner palace.
"As expected of a peerless scholar. Did he take up this entire room alone?"
Just as Han Dong slowly approached the coffin …
The corpse that had been dead for hundreds of years actually floated up …
