Imperial Demon Slayer Division

The magistrate of Nanyang led dozens of government officials and hurried towards the location of Gu's mansion.

As soon as he arrived outside Gu Mansion, he was stopped directly by Lin Xi

"My lord is handling a case. Please wait outside first."

Nanyang Magistrate Fei Xiong didn't know Lin Xi, but when he saw the official uniform he was wearing, he didn't dare to make a mistake and asked politely, cupping his fists.

"I, the magistrate of Nanyang County, Fei Xiong, would like to ask this lord, which lord from the Demon Slaying Division in the Gu Mansion is handling the case?"

Seeing Fei Xiong being so polite, Lin Xi also clasped his fists and returned the gesture.

"It's Mr. Gu from the Demon Slayer Division of Jiangnan County."

The word "Gu Yan" is very loud in Anzhou, and Feixiong is also puzzled that he can come here.

"Master Gu? What kind of big case is it that makes Master Gu travel thousands of miles to come to this southernmost city?"

Gu Yan's figure appeared in front of Lin Xi at some point and said to Fei Xiong

"Master Fei, if you are curious, you might as well come in and take a look."

Feixiong was startled by the sudden appearance of Gu Yan next to him. After seeing clearly the official uniform he was wearing, he quickly bowed and saluted.

Facing Lin Xi, he could be more casual, but Gu Yan was at the same level as his immediate boss, the Sheriff of Dingnan County, so he must not be rude.

"Xiaoguan Feixiong, I have met Mr. Gu"

Gu Yan stretched out his hand and lifted Fei Xiong up with a burst of true energy.

"Lord Fei, there is no need to be polite. Gu Fei's family defected to the enemy and treason, reselling iron ore, and asked Lord Fei to send his men into the house to search. In addition, he immediately ordered people to seal the city gate and arrest the few people from the Night Country who escaped."

When Fei Xiong heard about the Gu family's crime, he immediately understood that something big was going on. He didn't dare to delay at all and immediately said to the officials behind him.

"Zhang Captou, you immediately notify the city defense camp and ask them to block the city gate. From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave Nanyang City. Li Captou, you immediately take your brothers into the Gu Mansion to search for the iron ore."

After receiving the order, Capt. Zhang and Capt. Li walked out of the queue, cupped their fists and said

"Yes, my lord!"

......

The government officials searched Gu's house for an hour. Just when Gu Yan thought that the iron ore had been moved away, a government official shouted.

"Sir! Found it!"

When Gu Yan heard the yamen servant's shout, his eyes flashed, and he immediately used the Burning Sun Chasing Cloud Technique and came to the yamen servant's side.

Seeing that the iron ore was hidden in a secret room, Gu Yan glanced at the government servant in surprise.

This secret room is hidden in a firewood shed. Normal people would never think that the iron ore is actually hidden in the firewood shed.

"How did you find out?"

As the officer spoke, he brought the iron chain and lock to Gu Yan.

"Sir, this woodshed is too clean, and a woodshed has such a big lock on it, and the door is bolted with an iron chain. This is too abnormal."

Gu Yan glanced at the iron chain and lock, looked at the government servant with admiration, and said

"Yes, he is insightful and thoughtful. He is a good candidate for investigating cases."

"Thank you sir"

Gu Yan walked into the secret room and saw the piles of iron ore, and sneered.

"Master Fei, please send someone to get these iron ores out. After those people from the Ye Kingdom are caught, I will take them back together."

Feixiong, who was standing aside, was almost stunned when he saw the refined iron ore in the secret room. Hearing Gu Yan's voice, he quickly said

"Ah? Ah... Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I will ask someone to get the iron ore out right now."

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly broke out on the street outside.

Shady looked at the corpses of government officials lying on the ground with a gloomy expression, and said to the people around him

"Hurry up, otherwise it will be bad if we attract the people from the Demon Slayer Division."

Sachi and a few people ran into a dark alley next to him, and then the hair on his body stood up, as if he had seen a natural enemy in the alley, and he slowly backed out.

Then he quickly ran towards the other direction of the street. Lin Xi held the demon-slaying knife and looked at the fleeing figures coldly, but did not pursue them.

Sachi and the others could only run for three breaths when they saw another demon slayer looking at them in the dark with a knife. Sachi and the others could only run in the other direction. Unfortunately, they had been killed long ago. Lin Xi and the others secretly surrounded them

"Are you those people from the Night Kingdom in Gu's mansion? Come with me to see Mr. Gu."

A few people from Shadi District have lived in Daqin all year round. They knew who Mr. Gu was in Lin Xi's mouth. They knew very well that if they came in front of Gu Yan, life and death would not be decided by them. They immediately drew their weapons and were ready to give it a go.

Lin Xi looked at the people who were preparing to fight, sneered, stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and several soul-binding ropes fell from the sky, directly binding the people tightly.

Because they were tied up like sticks, Shadi and the others began to struggle violently and fell directly to the ground. Lin Xi stepped on Shadi's head and said lightly

"Bring back"

Several demon slayers unceremoniously grabbed the arm of a monkey from the Kingdom of Night and dragged him directly towards the Gu Mansion.

After arriving in front of Gu Yan, Lin Xi said

"Sir, these people are the monkeys from the Night Kingdom in Gu's mansion."

Gu Yan nodded slightly, pointed at a random person and asked

"How much iron ore has the Gu family sent to Ye Kingdom? How long have you maintained this relationship? How many other forces like the Gu family are there in Daqin?"

Gu Yan's questions confused the man. The man didn't know whether he should answer or not, so he glanced at Sage quietly.

But this look was exposed to Gu Yan's consciousness. Gu Yan looked at Shadi with a smile and said

"It seems that you are their boss. It seems that you are also responsible for the Gu family's plans."

Shady glared at Gu Yan fiercely and said in poor Daqin Mandarin.

"You, give up on this idea, I won't tell you anything, Da Ye will surpass Qin one day!"

Gu Yan looked at Sage, stretched out a hand, his palm glowing green, pressed it on the top of the person's head, and said with a mocking smile.

"Monkey from the Night Kingdom, do you think I won't know if you don't say anything? How can my methods be understood by you frogs in the well who sit in the well and watch the sky?"

After a while, the soul search was over. The man was shaking all over, foaming at the mouth, and then fell down weakly.

Gu Yan didn't care about this man's life or death, but asked Fei Xiong to get pen and paper

Although Feixiong didn't know why Gu Yan wanted paper and pen, he still found it honestly.

After Gu Yan took the paper and pen, he quickly wrote the memory he read from that person's mind on the paper, and wrote down all the dark tricks that he knew about Ye Kingdom's secret actions.

After a while, Gu Yan wrote everything down, then gently blew out a breath of air to dry the ink marks.

"Master Fei, I can lend you some manpower."

Feixiong waved his hand casually and said generously

"Master Gu, there is no need to be polite. Just tell as many people as you want."

Gu Yan nodded slightly, then stretched out two fingers

Feixiong patted his belly, looking like a rich man.

"Two? How can two be enough? If others see it, they think there is no one in our Nanyang County Government Office. I will lend you twenty to Mr. Gu!"

Gu Yan smiled slightly and shook his two fingers.

"Master Fei misunderstood. I don't want to borrow two people, but two hundred people."

Hearing Gu Yan's words, Fei Xiong's eyes almost popped out of his head.

"Two hundred? Master Gu, are you kidding me?!"
