After sending Cao Fangding and Shi Yue out, Zhang Yu ordered the Inspection Department to investigate the Shuang Continent's Artisans according to the list provided by Master Craftsman Chen.
At the same time, he ordered the Inspection Department to keep a close eye on the various places. If they found any abnormalities, they would report it as soon as possible.
This time, he didn't communicate with the Imperial Censor and the others because it was difficult to confirm anyone's identity. There was no problem with the Imperial Censor before, but was there definitely no problem with the Imperial Censor now?
It was hard to say.
Before he confirmed it, he couldn't trust these people. Fortunately, with his current identity and actual control, it was enough to bypass these people and monitor the continent.
However, three days later, Shi Yue sent back a message saying that she had successfully obtained Master Craftsman Fei Liao and would soon send him to Liang Province.
The reason why he was sent to Liang Province was because there were no great enemies in the South, so there were relatively few garrisons and the military equipment was the most common. The Tenki-in Hall didn't have any branches here, so it was difficult for forces hostile to the Xuanfu to exert any power here.
Two days later, Shi Yue smoothly brought people back and reported to Zhang Yu, "Xuanzheng, I have tested the jade pendant given by Xuanzheng, but this Master Craftsman Fei is not an Artisan, but himself."
Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat. "Oh? Were there any obstacles on this trip? "
Shi Yue replied, "No, I didn't. After I found this Master Fei, I showed him Xuan Zheng's order and he left with me of his own accord. His students and colleagues were also appeased by him and didn't come to stop us."
Zhang Yu nodded, "I'll have to trouble Fellow Shi to bring him here, I want to ask him some questions personally."
Shi Yue nodded. An old man with thick eyebrows came in with bright eyes. When he saw Zhang Yu, he couldn't help but pause for a moment. He calmed himself down, then came forward and cupped his hands, "This must be Zhang Xuanzheng, Fei Liao greets you."
Zhang Yu looked at him and said, "Master Fei, this time I checked that among the Master Craftsmen who were in communication with the Shuang Continent, you are the only one who has not left. You should have received the report, but why didn't you leave?"
Master Craftsman Fei said calmly, "It's nothing, I just feel that my past actions violated the law of the country, and the law can't tolerate it, so I should be punished."
Zhang Yu, "Since you know it's wrong, why do it?"
Craftsman Fei said, "Isn't there a lot of things in the world that you know are wrong? I am also the same, I can't resist these temptations... and ideals in my heart, I can't resist these temptations....... for the sake of my ideals. to my heart's dreams....
However, when I was doing these things, I was also prepared to be arrested. Thus, when Xuan Zheng ordered people to arrest me, I naturally allowed myself to be bound. I was also willing to accept all the punishment that this would bring.
My research over the years has been handed over to my students. Even without me, they can continue to take my place. I don't have any regrets. "
Zhang Yu, "Master Craftsman Fei should know a lot of things. You didn't leave. Did no one force you to leave?"
Master Craftsman Fei replied, "To be precise, I also left, but the one who left was my substitute, and I stayed."
Zhang Yu nodded slightly, this explanation made sense.
Master Craftsman Fei said, "I didn't have a choice. Living in this world, sometimes you don't just have to think about yourself, but also your friends and family. If I didn't have anything to worry about, I wouldn't have done this."
Zhang Yu said, "This time I want to capture Master Craftsman Fei, in addition to investigating the matter of your communication with the Shuang Continent, I also want to ask you something. There are many Artisans in the continent who are not on the books. How much do you know about them, Master Craftsman Fei?"
Master Craftsman Fei said, "I've heard of this matter, but I don't know much about it. I specialize in all kinds of flying ships. Creating creatures isn't my specialty. Even the Creator who replaced me this time was made by one of my students."
Zhang Yu wasn't disappointed. In fact, if Master Craftsman Fei really knew about this matter, he wouldn't have had the chance to let the Creator replace him. He said, "Then, Master Craftsman Fei, do you know who it is or what it has to do with this?"
Master Craftsman Fei thought about it and lowered his voice, "Zhang Xuanzheng, you can ask Vice Hall Master Tan Cong. Maybe you can learn something."
Zhang Yu's eyes moved slightly. He could understand Master Craftsman Fei's meaning. The so-called asking was actually asking him to investigate. He thought about it and nodded, "Master Craftsman Fei, don't worry. Although you traveled to the Frost Continent, you didn't do anything to your family. Innocent people won't be implicated."
Master Craftsman Fei was startled, but he immediately understood his meaning. Solemnly, he raised his hands and bowed.
Zhang Yu said to the people outside, "Take Master Craftsman Fei away."
After waiting for them to leave, he pondered for a moment and asked the Inspection Department to look for Tan Cong's records.
He had dealt with Tan Cong twice before, so he had some understanding of this person. However, he would have to look through the secret books that ordinary people didn't know about.
For the Inspection Department, because it was necessary to guard against nightmares and parasites, every influential person in the upper echelons had a detailed record.
Even if Tan Cong was the Vice Hall Master of the Tenki-in Hall, his past wasn't a secret to the Inspection Department.
This was one of the reasons why the Inspection Department was disliked.
The Inspection Department acted quickly. After receiving his orders, it only took three days for someone to deliver the secret records from the headquarters of the Guangzhou Continent.
After Zhang Yu received it, he flipped through it. The thick document had detailed records of Tan Cong's experiences from when he was young to when he was young. It was so detailed that even Tan Cong himself might not be able to remember some things.
Master Craftsman Tan was from the Qingyang Yi Prefecture. After leaving the Self-study Palace, he joined the Tenki-in Hall. He started as a student and later rose to become a master craftsman. This experience seemed very ordinary.
However, he noticed that during the chaos in Yi Prefecture, when a cultivator whose mind had been disturbed by nightmares wantonly massacred commoners, almost all of his family members died in this disaster.
When he saw this, he couldn't help but think of something.
After he patiently read through the secret file, he picked up another one from the bottom. This one was related to Fang Yuzhong, and he had someone bring it along with him.
However, there weren't too many detailed records. This was because the Tenki-in Hall Master was transferred from the Yujing Continent. Only Yujing had detailed records of his past.
Moreover, this person rarely came out to manage matters. Normally, he would study creation in the workshop. Apart from being responsible for communicating with the upper echelons about personnel, rewards, punishments, and promotions, everything else was usually left to Tan Cong and a few other Vice Hall Masters.
However, he noticed that Fang Yuzhong had more than one child.
Creators couldn't reproduce. If this person really was the creator that Master Craftsman Chen spoke of, then these children shouldn't be his descendants.
Was it possible that he was also a creator?
Just as he was thinking, someone came in and reported, "Xuanzheng, a Zhu Cuo from the Governor's Office has arrived. He said that he came on the orders of the Governor's Office."
Zhang Yu thought for a moment. With a wave of his sleeve, he put all the secret records into his Purple Star Pouch and said, "Let him in."
Not long after, a young man walked into the hall. When this person saw him, he couldn't help but become absent-minded. Then, as if unwilling to admit defeat, he straightened his body and cupped his hands in salute, saying, "Are you Zhang Xuanzheng? I am the Governor's Office's Zhu Cuo, the Governor's Office. I came on orders to inquire about something! "
Zhang Yu said indifferently, "What is it?"
Zhu Cuo puffed out his chest and said, "I came on behalf of the Governor's Office to ask why Xuanzheng sent people to capture the Tenki-in Hall's master craftsman without permission."
On Fengxiang Ridge, in front of the bamboo forest Daoist temple, a golden-red streak of light came from the sky. After circling around the mountain ridge, it landed here.
When the light dispersed, Daoist Xingchuan walked out. He glanced left and right, and the long sword on his back let out a clear sound as he said, "Is there anyone here?"
Not long after the sound of the sword stopped, the door of the Daoist temple opened, and a young Daoist with phoenix eyes and a long beard walked out. He wore a crimson Daoist robe and was surrounded by a cloud of fine clouds. He was gorgeous and beautiful, and there was a young Daoist beside him.
Daoist Xingchuan said, "You must be Gongsun Min's junior brother, Tang Feng?"
The young Daoist said, "That's me. Did you bring my senior brother's corpse?"
Daoist Xingchuan's gaze went past him and looked at the temple behind him. He said solemnly, "May I know where Master Bai Xiu is?"
Tang Feng said, "My teacher is in seclusion. As his disciple, I will take care of everything outside."
Daoist Xingchuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Is that so?" He flung his sleeve and turned around to leave.
When Tang Feng saw this, he shouted, "Stop! Where are you going? "
Daoist Xingchuan said solemnly, "I was ordered to deliver your corpse to Master Bai Xiu. Since I can't meet him, I'll naturally leave. What's the point of staying here?"
Tang Feng's expression sank. He said, "What kind of person is my teacher? Why would he come to meet you in person? You think too highly of yourself. If you don't leave my senior brother's corpse here today, don't even think about leaving this place. "
Daoist Xingchuan looked him up and down a few times, then nodded and said, "So, you want to fight with me? Very well! "He immediately unsheathed his sword and raised his hand to perform a sword salute." I'm Xingchuan, and I'd like to experience Fellow Daoist's brilliance. "
Tang Feng said to the young Daoist beside him in a deep voice, "Fu Sheng, go to the back and wait. Don't come out if there's nothing important."
The young Daoist quickly said, "Yes, Martial Uncle." After he saluted, he ran into the Daoist temple and closed the door tightly.
Tang Feng then said to Xingchuan, "This Daoist temple and bamboo forest were built by my senior brother when he was alive. I don't want to destroy them. Let's change to another place."
Daoist Xingchuan nodded and said, "You choose the place."
Tang Feng said, "Come with me." He didn't make any gesture, but a ball of white mist appeared under his body and wrapped around his body. Then, it lifted him up into the sky.
Daoist Xingchuan also immediately rose into the sky. The two figures went down the mountain one after another.
