Although the Asura Imperial Capital's Public Security Department was a newly established department, it had already become the new administrative center. Apart from the Imperial Army, the Public Security Department could be said to be the most powerful department in the Imperial Capital, directly managing all matters in the non-human territories.
At this stage, even the black market under the imperial capital's rule had been suspended. Many alien cultivators were unable to conduct transactions under strict supervision, so they naturally lamented. Those who usually patronized the alien territory and spent a lot of money were also Asura nobles. Now they seemed to have received some kind of news and closed their doors, let alone come to the alien territory to spend money.
The new chief officer of the imperial capital's security office was Hao Ren. At this time, he was sitting in the main hall, looking at Viscount Hongshan Chu An with a playful expression. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. After a while, he got up and cupped his hands, "Brother Yi is really amazing. You can play so many tricks under my nose. If it weren't for grandmother's reminder, I'm afraid I'd still be in the dark."
Yi Tian could hear the slight reproach in his tone, but it was more of a helpless sigh. Yi Tian did not want to crush his confidence any further, so he said, "Doctor Hao, you're exaggerating. I'm just following the Empress' orders. Moreover, the assassination of Chu An happened by chance. The Empress is using this as an opportunity to boost the influence of the Asura nobles."
"Now that Fellow Daoist Yi has said so, I have some confidence in my heart. In addition, before Grandmother left, she also told me that if there were any troublesome matters in the imperial capital, I would need your help to resolve them," said Hao Ren.
From the sound of it, it seemed that they had encountered some trouble. Yi Tian frowned slightly. This was a special period of time. Logically speaking, those foreign race cultivators should know how to restrain themselves. Why would they cause trouble at this time?
After thinking about it, he changed the topic and asked, "What trouble does Doctor Hao need my help with?"
Hearing this, Hao Ren frowned and said, "I can handle the matters in the alien territory alone, but there's a case at hand that involves the dispute between the Asura nobles and the alien race." Speaking of this, he deliberately paused and turned his gaze.
Yi Tian had a plan in mind. It was obvious that this aristocrat was not on the same side as Yun Lin. If Hao Ren came forward to solve the problem, he would definitely be ridiculed, so he wanted Yi Tian to solve it.
After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and replied, "Alright, you explain the situation. I will find some time to deal with it. Also, I don't know what the other party's cultivation is, and which force is backing him? " Before making a move, it was always necessary to thoroughly investigate the opponent's background. Otherwise, rashly going forward would not solve the problem, nor would it be able to balance the relationship between the three factions. The gains would not make up for the losses.
Hao Ren was overjoyed. He hurriedly took out a jade booklet and handed it over, saying, "This is the latest dossier. It started with the Asura noble, the Earl of Silvermoon Lake, accusing a foreign merchant of selling shoddy goods."
As a result, when the jade slip was opened, Yi Tian glanced at the name of the defendant at the front. It turned out to be the 'Cool Breeze Branch Station'. It was written very clearly that the plaintiff, the Earl of Silvermoon Lake, Pu Changhao, had ordered a batch of dark spirit stones from the 'Cool Breeze Branch Station'. However, after receiving the goods, he found that the quality of the goods did not match the description in the contract. It did not seem to be transported from the spirit realm.
The manager of the merchant claimed that this batch of goods was indeed transported from the spirit realm and had not been swapped out midway. Both sides insisted on their arguments and made it to the Imperial Capital Public Security Office.
Seeing this, Yi Tian was stunned. He was very clear about the use of the dark spirit stones. This precious material did not have many uses. It was mainly used as an auxiliary material for formation masters to build teleportation formations. Adding in the main material of the teleportation formation, the dark spirit stones, one could deduce the level and scale of this teleportation formation.
It was not a big deal for a royal count to set up a teleportation formation in his backyard, but the key was that the quality of the dark spirit stones had to be at least at the beginning of the heaven rank.
From his understanding of formations, there was something wrong with this Earl of Silvermoon Lake, but he could not tell what was wrong.
After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "I want to check the batch of dark spirit stones first and understand the situation with the manager of the merchant. Then, I'll visit the Earl of Silvermoon Lake."
"In this case, I'm really free from Brother Yi." Hao Ren was relieved after hearing that. He seemed to be a lot more relaxed.
"May I know which force this Earl of Silvermoon Lake belongs to? Doctor Hao, please tell me directly so that I can choose how to deal with this matter at my discretion," asked Yi Tian.
"He doesn't belong to any side, but he can be regarded as an old conservative force. He belongs to the hereditary faction," explained Hao Ren.
"Hereditary faction? That means he is like Viscount Hongshan, the kind that just eats and waits for death?" asked Yi Tian.
"Brother Yi is half right. The hereditary faction has been blessed by their ancestors, so their starting point is naturally much higher than ordinary people. However, they are also divided into radical and conservative forces." Hao Ren smiled and said, "This Earl of Silvermoon Lake belongs to the radical faction."
So that was the case. Yi Tian understood. After the attack on Viscount Hongshan, the hereditary faction had risen and become the main supporter of Luo Ziyan seizing the imperial power. As a member of Yun Lin's faction, Hao Ren naturally did not want to become enemies with the hereditary faction at this time.
However, since he had accepted the complaint, he could not not step forward to resolve this matter. He probably knew that this matter was mostly caused by the Asura nobles using their power to bully the foreign merchants. Hao Ren knew this, but he was unwilling to step forward and be the bad guy. Instead, he handed such a troublesome matter to him to deal with.
However, this was not what Yi Tian was thinking about now. Instead, he had a strong interest in this Earl of Silvermoon Lake. Or rather, he was interested in the teleportation formation that he wanted to set up.
Speaking of teleportation formation, it must be assisted by an array master. Thinking about it, this Earl of Silvermoon Lake Pu Changhao would most likely have an array master around him, or maybe he himself was an array master.
After thinking about it, he closed the jade slip in his hand and said, "What is the cultivation level of this Earl of Silvermoon Lake? Does he hold a position in the imperial court?"
"The Earl of Silvermoon Lake's cultivation level is at the early stage of the Spirit Severing stage. If Brother Yi goes to investigate with the identity of Viscount Hongshan, I'm afraid it is quite inappropriate. Moreover, he is the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. There are a large number of hereditary nobles behind him," Hao Ren explained.
"The early stage of the Spirit Severing stage is really troublesome. If I really go with the identity of Viscount Hongshan in the Yuanying stage, I'm afraid I may not even be able to see him. "Yi Tian shook his head and said," Doctor Hao definitely doesn't want me to go with my real identity. In this way, it will naturally involve factional matters. "
"That's natural. I don't want to get too involved in it, so I asked Brother Yi to help," Hao Ren said.
"Then do you have any identity in the security office that you can use? It's best if your cultivation level is high enough," Yi Tian asked.
Hao Ren thought for a while before replying, "The entire security office's Spirit Severing stage cultivators are personally appointed by the Empress in the imperial court, so I can at most give you the identity of an inspector at the peak of the Spirit Severing stage. I think it should be enough for you to come and see the Earl of Silvermoon Lake," Hao Ren thought for a while and said.
