Chapter 674

Several days later, in the Signature Room of the Green-ribbon Arrester Kong Yu in the Six Fan School of Zhou County.

"Hey, Meng, why are you here?" Kong Yu put down the document in his hand and stood up in surprise.

Mengqi, dressed in black, stepped into the room with a blade and a sword on his back. He smiled and said, "Old Kong, I don't come to you for no reason."

Kong Yu immediately clapped his hands and laughed. "Have you made up your mind?"

"Of course." Mengqi said without hesitation. "I want to be a Secret-searching Nark."

"Good, very good." Kong Yu repeated. At the same time, he looked at the situation outside the room. He waved his right hand and pulled with his left palm. He closed the door and the window with his strong Qi. "The identity of a Secret-searching Nark must be kept a secret from others."

It was not like being a Yamen arrester, who could be known by everyone.

Mengqi gently nodded, indicating that he understood. He looked at the document in Kong Yu's hand and asked, "Old Kong, something big happened recently?"

"No, it's the latest information about Mengqi, the Gentleman Sword. He returned the Purple Death Sword to the Ye family in Yi City through Qi Zhengyan of Huanhua Swords Sect. It's said that he went to Bomi to seek revenge and killed a Half-step Exterior Scenery master. Because Bomi is dangerous, there is no other evidence, so it can't be used as a reference for the Ranking List of Young Masters." Seeing that Mengqi had agreed to join the Six Fan School, Kong Yu frankly said, "Qi Zhengyan returned to Huanhua Swords Sect. It's said that he applied to travel outside."

Bomi was the most dangerous place in Immensity Sea. Many Exterior and Half-step Exterior Scenery masters who were hiding from their enemies hid here. Because of the complicated terrain, many people died without anyone knowing. Mengqi used it as a cover for the whereabouts of the Gentleman Sword in the past year.

Mengqi said calmly, "Where is the Gentleman Sword now?"

"You want to challenge him?" Kong Yu thought he knew Mengqi. Then he laughed. "But you'll be disappointed. He was seriously injured and went to recover. His whereabouts are a mystery."

"It seems that the Yamen of Zhou County really doesn't know that I'm the Gentleman Sword …" Mengqi concluded that it was probably covered up by the headquarters in Luoyang.

The two of them exchanged a few more words before Meng Qi stood up and took his leave. Kong Yu walked him to the door and said via Secret Voice-sending, "I'll draft a document and send it directly to the headquarters in Luoyang. We'll get a reply in about five days."

As a Green-ribbon Arrester, he had the right to directly recommend people to Luoyang. Moreover, Meng Qi wanted to be a Secret-searching Nark, which was inconvenient for outsiders to know. Otherwise, he would have handed the recommendation document to Guo Yinzhang first, and then submitted it to the provincial Yamen for them to send to Luoyang to save face for his superiors.

"Five days …" Mengqi had a deeper understanding of the intelligence transmission speed of the Six Fan School. Ordinary birds couldn't compare!

From Yedu to Luoyang, even with the help of the wind, it would still take more than two months. Five days back and forth, with the Yamen's complicated paperwork, wouldn't it be too late?

Could it be a transmission formation? Or something similar to the Exterior?

After all, different Inner Worlds would form different Exterior abilities. Some were quite magical. Plus, there were strange people who only cultivated Nether Spirits or Taoism of incense. All kinds of strange things could happen.

…

Five days later, Mengqi was comprehending the Supernatural Power of Shaking Heaven and Hitting Earth with the help of Ananda Oath-breaking Bladesmanship's One Heart Affecting Another when he suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door.

He didn't need to get up or pry. Kong Yu's figure naturally appeared in his spiritual mind.

"Old Kong, did Luoyang give the result?" Mengqi asked with a gentle smile. He was still immersed in the Supernatural Power of Shaking Heaven and Hitting Earth.

Kong Yu was slightly stunned. He felt that Meng had an indescribable temperament. He stood there as if he was not bound by anything, as if he had transcended the mortal world. At the same time, his smile was warm and his eyes were deep, as if he could see the deepest part of people's hearts. He was like an immortal or a Buddha, with a strange charm.

However, this strange feeling quickly disappeared like an illusion. Kong Yu came to his senses and laughed. "Congratulations, the Headquarters of Luoyang has approved my recommendation. You'll be appointed as a Secret-searching Nark with the Green-ribbon Seal and a monthly salary of 1,000 taels of silver."

"1,000 taels of silver?" Mengqi asked subconsciously.

Kong Yu thought that Mengqi thought it was too little, so he explained with a smile, "It's not a lot, but it's stable. After three to five years, you'll be able to get back the title deeds of the land and houses you sold. Moreover, the salary is only part of the harvest. We provide all kinds of resources, which are at least 50% cheaper than the outside world. Only the cost is recovered. However, you need to apply in advance for rare resources, which will be directly deducted from your monthly salary. Of course, you can't resell them."

He lowered his voice and said, "For arresters like us, the salary is nothing. It's mainly about filial piety. As for the Secret-searching Nark, it's the incidental things that come with investigating a big case or relic."

The Six Fan School was very strict with internal corruption investigations and punishments. Relatively speaking, they only indulged the arresters in minor details to avoid dissatisfaction. For example, in a big city like Yedu, there were all kinds of people. There were big forces like the Wang family, the Huang family, and the Huanhua Swords Sect who maintained the aboveboard order. However, there were also those at the bottom of the society that the Six Fan School despised. There were always fights between gangs and all kinds of crimes.

On the other hand, the Six Fan School mainly suppressed the underground, maintained stability, collected intelligence, kept an eye on the heroes of Jianghu, and investigated cases with bad influence. If they wanted to go deep into every corner of Yedu, they didn't have enough manpower. They had to rely on some gangs and turn a blind eye to their shady interests. As long as it didn't affect the stability of Yedu, they only needed to provide all kinds of intelligence.

These gangs naturally had to show their filial piety to the arresters. With the Six Fan School as their backing, it was something that they couldn't ask for. Even if they didn't do it themselves, there were plenty of people who wanted to do it!

The Mediation Arresters were in charge of internal cleanliness. Everywhere they went, there would be local arresters showing their filial piety. As long as it didn't involve the embezzlement of internal salary and resources, they would turn a blind eye to it.

These two kinds of arresters had their own "external connections", which were better than the salary. The headquarters of the Six Fan School knew this very well, so they didn't have strict requirements for the Nark Investigators. For example, the main items found in the ruins had to be handed in, and the miscellaneous items were at their disposal to ensure their loyalty.

"Well, I can exchange my salary for resources?" Mengqi didn't care about money, but he was envious of the elixirs and artifacts that could be bought at cost price in the Six Fan School. On the one hand, he could exchange them for Karma points, and on the other hand, he could use them for his own use without wasting Karma points.

Kong Yu nodded affirmatively. "No problem at all. Except for the Divine Weapon, you can have everything you need. But you have to go to the capital to meet the Emperor and receive guidance from the chief of arresters and the Super Arresters before you can officially join the Six Fan School and enjoy resources and salary."

"Old Kong, when are we leaving for Luoyang?" Mengqi was very proactive now.

Kong Yu shook his head. "You're a Nark Investigator. If I accompany you or send an arrester to Luoyang, wouldn't it be announcing to the world that you've joined the Six Fan School? It's not convenient for you to do things in the future. So you have to go to Luoyang yourself. Anyway, you're a master on the Ranking List of Young Masters, so don't worry that the headquarters won't recognize you. "

"Then I'll leave tomorrow." Mengqi had a plan in mind. He pretended to be in a difficult position. "Old Kong, there are many big shots and aristocratic families in Luoyang. I don't know much about them, and I'm worried that I might offend someone I shouldn't. Can I have a look at the secret files related to Luoyang?"

Kong Yu pondered for a while and said, "You're half a colleague, so I can't show you the secret files for now. But I can show you the general information related to Luoyang."

Even if Mengqi joined the Six Fan School, he would be limited to the scope of the secret files according to his rank and the task he was responsible for.

"That's enough," Meng Qi answered sincerely with a smile on his face.

…

The next day, in Kong Yu's Signature Room, Mengqi flipped through the information related to Luoyang in front of him.

Kong Yu had purposely taken it out so that Little Meng would not expose her identity if she saw it herself.

His surname was Su and he was a Marquis. With these two criteria, Meng Qi quickly selected what he wanted.

"The Su family, an aristocratic family attached to the royal family. Five generations ago, they made great contributions and were conferred the title of Mighty God Marquis …"

"The current 'Mighty God Marquis' Su Li, a First Class Master Pro of the Third Heaven of the Exterior. He wields the Kunwu Sword, the Precious Weapon of the Master, and is the Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard. He has two sons and one daughter, and his wife is Ke Weilan …"

"'Golden Eye Arrester' Su Yue, the illegitimate son of the Su family and Su Li's younger brother. He is a Peerless Master Pro of the Sixth Heaven of the Exterior and one of the Eight Super Arresters. He has three sons and two daughters …"

"Old Madam Bai Jingluo, the daughter of the Bai family in Luoyang and a First Class Master Pro of the Third Heaven of the Exterior …"

"Ke Weilan, Half-step Exterior Scenery. Her father is a guru and one of the Eight Super Arresters. She was given the title of 'Dragon Claw' by the emperor. Because of the incident with Su Li's concubine, the Tang family, her foundation was damaged and she had no children …"

"Su Zihua, 22 years old, the eldest son of Su Li's concubine, the son of Ke Weilan's dowry maid. She has an unmentionable disease and occasionally goes mad. But she once had an adventure and opened up her Eight Acupores."

"Su Ziyuan, 17 years old, the second son of Su Li and the son of his concubine, the Tang family. Entered the Shaolin Temple, but her fate is unknown."

…

"Su Ziyuan …" Mengqi tapped on the table and muttered the name. He had no sense of belonging to this family and had never thought of visiting them. The only reason he was looking for information was because he was afraid that he would run into trouble when he entered Luoyang.

He took a deep breath and looked through the information related to Luoyang.

After a while, Kong Yu opened the door and came in with a strange expression on his face.

"Old Kong, what's wrong?" Mengqi looked at Kong Yu in confusion.

Kong Yu closed the door and stared at Mengqi for a while. "You don't need to go to Luoyang to meet the Emperor, the Chief of Detectives, and the Super Arresters."

"Huh? Why? "Mengqi was confused.

"Today, a secret document arrived. It says that 'Killing Blade' Su Meng has a clean background and is loyal and reliable. Now that he has an important matter to attend to, he doesn't need to go to Shangjing anymore and will be given the official seal directly." Kong Yu was still in a daze. "Don't all official seals have to be made by fusing one's own bloodline to prevent others from impersonating him? How can it be given directly …"

He took out a light green official seal with a green ribbon tied around it.

Mengqi roughly understood. He took the official seal and saw the words "Wind Catcher" carved on it. He infused some inner force into it and a misty green color appeared.

"It's … it's your bloodline …" Kong Yu was stunned. When did Meng go to Luoyang? Could it be that he was originally from Luoyang?

"Heh, in order to prevent me from entering Luoyang, he purposely searched for hair and cord blood from the ancestral hall …" Mengqi guessed. Every time a new person was born, the big families would worship his hair and cord blood. In the ancestral hall, he asked, "Old Kong, what's the task?"

Kong Yu took out the document. "There are many martial arts masters gathering in River East's Maoling. One of the arresters secretly investigated the cause, but he mysteriously disappeared. Half a month later, his body was found in Yangxia, Hua State."

River East … Mengqi suddenly became excited.
