Imperial Demon Slayer Division

When the yamen servant saw that the eldest prince finally turned his attention to him, he quickly bowed and said

"Your Highness, when the Marquis of Dingnan was chasing the extremely sinister girl a few days ago, he happened to see Master Xu and the extremely sinister female together. Dingnanhou captured Master Xu and took him to the Demon Slayer Prison. When the Demon Slayer who went to investigate Mr. Xu’s crime comes back, he will execute Mr. Xu, please save Mr. Xu!”

The eldest prince, Qin Chuan, frowned tightly after hearing Gu Yan's name.

A few days ago, he learned why Qin Jing went to Dingnanhou Mansion to congratulate Gu Yan on his wedding day. It turned out that Gu Yan had taken the title of teacher of the Ninth Prince at some point. In this way, it also meant that Gu Yan Standing behind Qin Jing

If someone is sent to rescue Xu Maotong, they will be driven away by Gu Yan. But if Xu Maotong is not rescued, after Gu Yan finds out the evidence of the crime, it will inevitably affect him. After all, Xu Maotong is secretly making money for himself. received his own instructions

Qin Chuan stood there, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then decided to send someone to Hanzhou Mansion.

Due to both emotion and reason, Xu Maotong must be rescued. Even if he cannot be rescued, he must go on this trip. Otherwise, if the other people who work for him see it, won't they be heartbroken?

Braving the risk of losing his head, he went to do something for the eldest prince, but when something happened, the eldest prince turned away and refused to recognize anyone.

It is estimated that the day after Xu Maotong was beheaded, there were not many people under his command.

Besides, the Demon Slayer Division has clearly prohibited participation in partisanship, and Gu Yan is just in the name of a teacher, and he may not really be standing behind Qin Jing.

If he sends someone to go on this trip, he might be able to get Gu Yan to come to his side. Even if he can't, then he must keep Gu Yan neutral. At the very least, he cannot violate the Iron Order of the Demon Slayer Division.

Qin Chuan opened his eyes suddenly and said loudly

"Mr. Jing"

A tall, thin, white-faced, scholar-like middle-aged man quickly came to the martial arts arena, walked up to Qin Chuan, and bowed respectfully to Qin Chuan.

"Your Highness, are you looking for me?"

Qin Chuan looked at Mr. Jing with his sharp eagle eyes and said

"Mr. Jing, Xu Maotong was arrested by Gu Yan who was transferred to Hanzhou for a mission a few days ago. You go to Hanzhou Mansion on my behalf and must bring Xu Maotong back. Do you understand?"

Feeling Qin Chuan's gaze, Mr. Jing's heart tightened. He knew how important Xu Maotong's arrest was to Qin Chuan.

Although Xu Maotong is insignificant, the things he did for the eldest prince cannot be seen in the light.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely bring Xu Maotong back."

Originally, Qin Chuan's first choice was not Mr. Jing, but Jackdaw, but Jackdaw had a grudge against Gu Yan, so he had to settle for the next best thing and let Mr. Jing take this trip.

"I feel at ease with Mr. Jing's work."

......

More than ten days later, in Hanzhou Mansion, Rong Fang, the heaven-level demon-slayer officer who was sent to Black Cloud City by Gu Yan to collect evidence of Xu Maotong's crimes, returned. He also brought back Xu Maotong's family, as well as information about Xu Maotong and the eldest prince. All incriminating evidence

Rong Fang clasped his hands and bowed to Gu Yan, then said with gritted teeth.

"Sir, that Xu Maotong is really unscrupulous. He secretly withheld disaster relief food, colluded with the eldest prince to sell his official position, used all his authority to make money, and secretly established an underground organization, running many underground casinos and brothels, especially in the Han Dynasty. He robs girls and babies from all over the state and sells them to all parts of the country to make huge profits. He commits adultery, robbery, and disregards human life. There is no evil deed in the world that he dares not do."

When Gu Yan heard Rong Fang's words, he frowned. He guessed that Xu Maotong would do many bad things. After all, with his status, if he could make money for someone like the eldest prince, he must have done it in many ways. Only in this way can quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes

But I never expected that Xu Maotong's heart was completely black. No, it should be said that he had no heart. He had committed all the crimes in Daqin's law.

"I know it. Go to the arsenal to receive the reward. Then you and your brothers will find out all the branches of Xu Maotong's underground organization in various places. Don't touch them yet and wait for my order."

Rong Fang nodded heavily, cupped his fists at Gu Yan and said

"Thank you sir"

Then he strode out of the Demon Slayer Palace, obviously the fire in his heart has not been suppressed.

This is normal. Anyone else would be furious if they encountered this kind of thing. Not to mention that Rong Fang personally led people to collect evidence. He would have a more direct feeling about what Xu Maotong did secretly.

After Rong Fang left, Gu Yan said to Hong Tao, another demon-slayer officer at the peak of Moving Mountain Realm in the hall.

"Lock Xu Maotong's family to another place and keep them under strict guard. Without my order, I, the King of Heaven, are not allowed to come near. Do you understand?"

Hong Tao took a step forward, clasped his fists at Gu Yan with a firm expression and said

"Don't worry, sir. I promise that even flies and mosquitoes will not come near the residence of Xu Maotong's family."

After Hong Tao finished speaking, he walked outside the hall, looked at the Xu Maotong family members kneeling on the ground, spat out a mouthful of saliva with disgust on his face, and then said coldly

"You bastards, come with me. If anyone walks slowly, I will chop off the feet of him."

Gu Yan squinted his eyes and looked ahead, muttering

"Qin Chuan, Qin Chuan, you really can't be an emperor. How should you die?"

......

More than ten days later, the people sent by Qin Chuan to rescue Xu Maotong arrived at Hanzhou Mansion.

Mr. Jing brought more than a dozen guards to the door of Hanzhou Demon Slayer Division.

Mr. Jing stepped forward and bowed to the guard at the door, then took out the eldest prince's token from his arms, showed it to the guard, and said

"This brother, I came here to see Mr. Gu on the orders of the eldest prince. Please help me to inform you."

The guard didn't recognize the eldest prince's token, but when he heard Mr. Jing said that the eldest prince sent him, he didn't dare to delay, so he nodded and said

"You wait here first, I'll go in and inform Mr. Gu."

Mr. Jing smiled slightly and said

"Sorry to trouble this brother."

The guard quickly came to the back of the Demon Slayer Palace, and said to Gu Yan, who was lowering his head to handle official duties, clasping his fists and saying

"Sir, a man claiming to be a messenger from the eldest prince came outside the door and asked to see you."

Gu Yan raised his head, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, the corners of his mouth curved in a strange way, and he thought to himself

"finally come"

Then he said to the guard

"Let that person in"

"Yes, my lord"

After receiving Gu Yan's order, the guard quickly walked towards the gate.

After arriving at the gate, he said to Mr. Jing

"Master Gu lets you in, please come with me."

Mr. Jing nodded slightly and said to the guard behind him

"You guys wait here first"

After Mr. Jing finished speaking, he followed the guards and walked into the Demon Slaying Department.

After arriving at the Demon Slaying Hall, Mr. Jing saw Gu Yan, who was dressed in smoky black official uniform and had an imposing manner.

For some reason, Jing Ting's heart tightened inexplicably, and he immediately bowed to Gu Yan and said loudly

"Caomin Jingting Hall, see Mr. Gu"
