The Rebirth of the Prince: Starting from Not Being a Doglicker
Chapter 136 Arrest
The evil-suppression office.
Inside a hall where the Xuanzi Suppressor Evil Envoy works.
A tall, pretty woman with long hair tied into a high ponytail and a body as nimble as a female leopard was sitting at the desk, reading the testimony on the file in her hand.
Even though she had handled many cases and executed many evil creatures and evil cultivators personally, she could not help but feel angry at this moment.
"Boss, when will we capture these people?" Zhou Qingyu asked from the side.
She was wearing a standard black flying fish suit, a black cape, and a brocade eagle-head crown. She was elegant and gentle in a white dress just now, but now she looked heroic.
The dress styles of the evil-suppressing officials at all levels in the Evil-Suppression Bureau are basically the same, all wearing black flying fish uniforms with black cloaks on top.
The easiest way to distinguish them is to look at the patterns on their cloaks. From the lowest-level Yellow-lettered Evil Suppressor to the highest-level Commander-in-Chief, the patterns on their cloaks are white, blue, cyan, scarlet, and purple respectively.
The patterns on Zhou Qingyu's cloak are white.
"We are short of manpower for this case alone. I need to report this to my superiors."
Looking at the heroic and capable girl in front of him, Tang Yan was very satisfied.
When he first came to the Evil Suppression Bureau, Zhou Qingyu was still afraid and timid when facing evil creatures. Later, he not only overcame his fear of evil creatures in a short period of time, but also showed no mercy when dealing with evil cultivators.
He is worthy of being the chosen successor of Xuanyinqin.
Tang Yan is a third-level martial artist and the Xuan-level Evil Suppressor in the Evil Suppression Division. She is in charge of many Huang-level Evil Suppressors, and Zhou Qingyu is one of them.
The criminals involved in this case are basically at the second level of cultivation, and there are dozens of them.
Therefore, at least one Di-character Evil Suppression Envoy with a cultivation level that has reached the middle third realm is needed to lead his Xuan-character Evil Suppression Envoys and Huang-character Evil Suppression Envoys to ensure that all criminals are captured.
Not long after Tang Yan handed the evidence over to her superior, the Earth-Character Suppression Envoy, it caused a sensation in the entire Suppression of Evils Bureau.
Ordinary rape cases are handled by ordinary government offices. The Evil Suppression Department can take care of it, but there is no need to do so.
Even if it is a large-scale rape case involving dozens of people and of an extremely serious nature, it will be handled by the Dali Temple, and the Evil Suppression Department will generally not intervene.
Moreover, cases of this serious nature will definitely be reported to the court.
At that time, officials in areas where such large-scale rape cases occur will be held responsible and must be prepared to lose their official positions.
The masterminds of this case that occurred in the secret realm, Chen Hong and Liu Zhu, have been confirmed to have practiced the Cai Bu method, one of the evil cultivation techniques.
Since it is related to evil practitioners, this case must be handled by the Evil Suppression Bureau.
If the people involved in the case were ordinary people, then it would be fine. The Evil Suppression Bureau would treat it as an ordinary evil cultivator causing trouble and deal with it accordingly.
But the problem is that most of the criminals in this case are students of Nanfu Academy.
In the huge capital city, there are only two academies for training arts, the Guanwenxue Palace and the Nanfu Academy.
The former follows the elite route, and those who can enter to practice are either those with outstanding talents in arts or descendants of high-ranking officials, so there are actually not many students in the Palace of Literature.
The Nanfu Academy is where most of the mid- and lower-level practitioners come from. It is much larger than the Guanwang Academy and is an important cradle of practitioners in Dajin.
So many disciples of the Southern Palace Academy were led by evil cultivators to commit such extremely heinous gang rapes against their female classmates of low cultivation and those women from the common people. This would undoubtedly cause a shock in the government and the country.
Fortunately, this case happened in a secret realm and has nothing to do with the Evil Suppression Bureau. They don't have to worry about being charged with poor supervision. On the contrary, if they handle the case better, it will be a great achievement.
However, the chief priests and teachers of the Southern Palace Academy are not so lucky. This case will definitely appear in the memorial to His Majesty tomorrow, and they will certainly be held accountable by His Majesty.
The matter was of great importance and attracted the attention of the commander-in-chief of the Suppression of Evils Division.
The highest commander of the Suppression of Evils Division, a senior military officer of the second rank, immediately ordered a top-ranking Suppression of Evils Envoy to take charge of the matter personally and ensure that all the criminals were brought to justice as quickly as possible.
The Tianzi Evil Suppression Envoys are the highest fighting force in the Evil Suppression Division after the Capital Commander-in-Chief. Each of them is a cultivator in the sixth realm and is under his leadership.
That night, everyone involved in the case in the secret realm was arrested and taken back to the prison of the Evil Suppression Bureau.
As the evil-suppressing envoy who reported the case, Zhou Qingyu not only participated in the arrest of many criminals, but also received commendation from the commander-in-chief.
After all the criminals were arrested, the Evil Suppression Division did not convict them, because such a serious case would definitely have to wait until tomorrow morning to be handed over to His Majesty for judgment.
The Evil Suppression Department, inside the study.
After the evil-suppressing envoys returned to the Evil-Suppressing Division, Zhou Qingyu and Tang Yan were summoned by the commander-in-chief of the Evil-Suppressing Division.
The commander-in-chief was named Zhao Yan. He was known for his strictness and discipline, and his hatred for evil. He was a powerful martial artist with a cultivation level as high as the seventh realm. He was good at using a spear, and was known as the "Overlord Spear".
Zhao Yan had an ordinary appearance, a fierce temperament, and eyes like lightning. Although he was thin, his seemingly frail body was filled with the surging blood and energy that only a martial artist of the seventh realm could possess.
If he didn't restrain himself, a cultivator with lower cultivation would be suffocated by the blood and energy in his body just by getting close to him.
"Greetings, Lord Commander-in-Chief."
After Zhou Qingyu and Tang Yan entered the study, they both bowed to Zhao Yan who was sitting behind the desk.
"Please sit down. There are no outsiders here. You can call me as usual."
"Yes, Uncle Zhao."
"is teacher."
The two sat down aside.
Tang Yan is not only the successor of the "Haoran" spear, but her hatred of evil is also quite to Zhao Yan's liking, so she is accepted as his disciple.
The Grand Secretary of Qilin Pavilion and Zhao Yan have always had a good relationship. In the past, before Zhou Qingyu joined the Evil Suppression Division, he and Zhao Yan addressed each other as uncle and nephew.
"Qingyu, do you know what the prince experienced in the secret realm?" Zhao Yan asked.
"After he entered the secret realm, he settled in a wooden house, one of the six residences in the 'Dark Forest'. There were owl people lurking near the wooden house. He entered the wooden house and hid in the basement until he was teleported out of the secret realm." Zhou Qingyu said.
Zhao Yan's eyes flickered, as if he was judging the truth of this statement in his mind.
After a night of investigation, the Evil Suppression Bureau had a relatively detailed understanding of the situation in the secret realm.
There are four strange places in the secret realm, including the "Dark Forest". People who enter other strange places are trying their best to survive from the endless evil creatures.
In the gloomy forest, a man in black robe appeared. He wandered around the six residences, helping the survivors in the residences to deal with the evil spirits.
When he arrived at the last courtyard residence, it seemed as if an ancient formation was activated.
After the formation was put into operation, according to the survivors' description, the concentration of Yin energy in the secret realm was greatly reduced, and the Yin objects in the secret realm would not regenerate.
Not long after that, all the people who were still alive in the secret realm were teleported out.
These people were taken back to the evil suppression office for questioning.
The only person who wanted to come to the son of Marquis Shenwei was a Tianzi Evil Suppression Envoy to ask him about his experiences in the secret realm. However, because of Tang Yan's recklessness last time, the Marquis Shenwei's Mansion had a bad impression of the Evil Suppression Department, and the Evil Suppression Envoy was ruthlessly turned away.
The other side admitted that the real culprit in Zhou Qingyu's stabbing case has not been found yet, and the Shenwei Marquis Mansion doubts the ability of the Evil Suppression Bureau.
Even Zhao Yan had no way to deal with this and could only ask Zhou Qingyu, who had a good relationship with Su An.
Today, the case has been basically solved, and the evil suppression department has set its sights on the mysterious man in black.
In the secret realm, he called himself the Evil Suppressor, executed Chen Hong and Liu Zhu, collected evidence of their crimes, activated a formation to break the strange rules, and even teleported everyone out of the secret realm.
But after a day of investigation, the Evil Suppression Bureau had no clue about the identity of the man in black.
The only person who had close contact with the man in black was Tan Tai Xuan, who not only brought out the evidence of the criminal in this case, but was also a member of the Shenwei Marquis Mansion.
Zhao Yan subconsciously wondered whether this man in black robe might be someone from the Marquis' Mansion.
The Evil Suppression Division wanted to know about Su An’s experience in the secret realm just to verify this point.
During these two days, while everyone in the secret realm was still in a coma, the imperial court showed great attention to the secret realm.
This mysterious land from ancient times may contain rich treasures, but it may also hide unknown secrets and dangers.
Now, after investigating all the survivors of the secret realm, they have a detailed understanding of the secret realm, but that is only on the surface. They don't know enough about the deeper things.
"The case has come to an end. We just have to wait for His Majesty's decision at the court tomorrow morning on how to deal with the criminals." Zhao Yan said.
"What we need to do now is to find the man in black robe. He can help us learn more about the secret realm."
"In addition, His Majesty is very interested in the methods of the man in black robes, and has ordered us to investigate thoroughly."
"What we can confirm at the moment is that this man in black robe is a cultivator who practices both magic and martial arts."
There are all kinds of things in the world. Although cultivators practice both magic and martial arts, it is a consensus that it is difficult to master both.
But there are always geniuses who refuse to admit defeat and embark on the path of joint cultivation. In Zhao Yan's eyes, this man in black robe is such a person.
Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind and thunder are the realm of magic practitioners, while swords, spears, and halberds are the realm of martial arts practitioners.
There are some combinations of the two. For example, there is a technique called Ten Thousand Blades Technique, which condenses the techniques into the appearance of various weapons.
The thunder sword used by the black-robed man in the secret realm has the characteristics of magic, and the thunder power attached to the sword cannot be faked.
However, this Thunder Sword also contains the sword spirit of martial arts. Judging from this, this Thunder Sword is obviously not something like the Ten Thousand Blades Technique that is only for show but does not carry the essence of the sword.
"Your Majesty is interested in the thunder sword. Do you think the man in black robe is from the Marquis of Shenwei Mansion?" Zhao Yan asked.
"It's possible that Tan Tai Xuan has a close relationship with the man in black robe, and she is also from the Shenwei Marquis Mansion. The man in black robe may also have a relationship with the Shenwei Marquis Mansion." Tang Yan said.
They asked about Tan Tai Xuan's experience in the secret realm, because Su An had instructed Tan Tai Xuan in the secret realm that when someone asked about things in the secret realm, he only needed to conceal his relationship with the Marquis' Mansion.
So apart from this incident, Tan Tai Xuan told Zhen Xie Si everything else, and she did not even hide the fact that she was the descendant of the first generation Sword Master. She also told Zhen Xie Si that she was invited to join the Marquis' Mansion because the Marquis' Mansion later found out about this matter.
A statement that is nine parts true and one part false is the most convincing, so the Evil Suppression Bureau finally judged that the experience she confessed was not false.
Zhao Yan looked at Zhou Qingyu. He knew a little about Zhou Qingyu and the son of Marquis Shenwei, so he wanted to hear Zhou Qingyu's opinion.
"Probably not." Zhou Qingyu said after a little thought.
"If the man in black robes is from the Marquis' Mansion, his primary goal after entering the secret realm should be the same as Danqing's, which is to find Su An as soon as possible and ensure Su An's safety."
"According to our investigation, he did not ask for any news about Su An at any of the residences in the Dark Forest."
Zhao Yan nodded, thinking that what Zhou Qingyu said made sense.
If the man in black robe was from the Marquis' Mansion, the first thing he would do would definitely be to ensure Su An's safety.
Even if they were lucky, the man in black would have met Su An in the wooden house when they first entered the secret realm and confirmed Su An's safety.
Well, in this secret realm full of dangers, he would not leave Su An alone in the wooden house. He would definitely stay by his side to protect him.
Apart from this, the only possibility is that the man in black is the son of Marquis Shenwei whose experience in the secret realm is questionable, but this is obviously impossible.
Zhao Yan had met Su An a few months ago. He was just an ordinary person, without any aura or magic power fluctuations on his body, and not even the slightest sign of martial arts training.
The black-robed man, according to the Suppression of Evils Division, was a cultivator who had mastered the sword spirit but not the elemental spirit. His swordsmanship was also quite superb.
This obviously can't be the same person.
"So the man in black is indeed not from the Shenwei Marquis Mansion. The reason why he brought Tan Tai Xuan with him is because he knows the treasure left behind by the first generation Sword Master. And this treasure or something in the treasure can only be unlocked by Tan Tai Xuan, who possesses the bloodline of the first generation Sword Master." Zhao Yan said.
"Teacher, Qingyu."
"Do you think the opening of this secret realm is related to the son of the Marquis of Shenwei?"
"Su An happened to arrive at the scene when Qing Yu was assassinated last time, and this secret realm also happened to appear when Su An was in the Southern Palace Academy. Could there be something strange here?"
"Although it's a bit of a coincidence." Zhou Qingyu said,
"But Su An was originally going to enter Xiuguan Literature Palace. My uncle cancelled his admission due to some misunderstanding, so he had to settle for the next best thing and go to Nanfu Academy to practice."
"And according to the National Master's survey of the spatial fluctuations outside the secret realm, the secret realm was not opened by humans. Instead, it existed for too long and the secret realm space was unstable, which is why so many people were suddenly teleported in."
"Tang Yan, I know that you have investigated Su An before and suspected that he was involved in Qing Yu's assassination. You are worrying too much."
Zhao Yan said.
"Marquis Shenwei killed many elders and hall masters of Dark Shadow in Southern Xinjiang. Dark Shadow hated him to the core."
"With that person's means, even if the prince is far away in the capital, if he is involved with evil cultivators, he would not be unaware of it."
Speaking of Marquis Shenwei, this second-rank official and seventh-level martial artist also had a hint of admiration in his tone.
It was also strange why Su An and Dan Qing appeared in that cave after being teleported out of the secret realm.
But the Marquis' Mansion had already destroyed the entrance array, and even the Imperial Master did not discover that there was a teleportation array here. The place where the two were found was also changed from a cave to a forest.
The young and handsome prince and the beautiful maid went to a remote grove late at night. When the evil-suppressing agents found out, they just thought it was some kind of interest between master and servant.
