Demolition

Lu Chen actually has a fixed office, but he has a special position, so he is used to handling official business wherever there is a case.Naturally, the environment in the prison room is not good. More than half of the cramped space is used for stacking old files, and because there is no sunlight all year round in the underground, there is a lingering musty smell. The stink was so bad that it made things worse, but Lu Chen was not affected at all. Recently, he needs to inspect the palace. He has a lot of miscellaneous things, and he has worked overtime for three consecutive days, so he has no energy to care about the environment.

Although Zhi Jinwu sounds high-level, he is actually the captain of the security brigade in the capital city. He usually patrols and does not mention it. Sometimes the beloved cat of any royal family member is lost and can be handed over to him. However, he is directly under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council. , report to him every detail.

This privy envoy has a lot of background, he is a prince, he doesn't dare to be perfunctory and has to be respectful, so it is not a good thing to do things for someone with high authority.After finally completing the details of the case file of the unknown corpse in the suburbs of the previous week, Lu Chen rubbed his wrist and took out Ye Ji's report.

I don't blame Jiang for doing the same thing as Ye Ji for writing reports. He has been in the Yinxiao Building for a few years, and even the simplest reports like this are written upside down and meaningless.In fact, they are people who do rough work, so how can they understand these word games, but the people above just like to simplify and not write some literary things for them to see, as if this matter can't be done, Ye Ji because of this He was fined several times, and asked Lu Chen to ghostwrite for him several times.

Ye Ji, Lu Chen and Jiang are also classmates of the Yin Xiao class, which is a place for cultivating crow destroyers, and the Yin Xiao Building is a government office specially set up for crows in the Southern Dynasty.Most of the crow man's work is to identify crows, obtain information from them, prevent crows from attacking humans on a large scale, abolish the phantom power of crows with evil intentions, and sometimes do some unsightly work against the Northland.

Although the name is called a crow remover, in fact, almost no crow remover has removed crows. On the first day of the singing class, the master will tell you "even if it is a last resort, don't remove crows easily", because removing crows requires removing crows. Using one's own essence and blood as a guide is a way to kill eight hundred enemies and harm one thousand, so it should not be used easily.Lu Chen only remembers his master laughing, "A bunch of little bastards, they can't even wield knives, so they aim too high. If you want to be the dragon and phoenix among those people, you should work hard for me. Look at your inspection tour, it's a mess..."

When Lu Chen first came, he was a little younger, so he worked harder than others, was talented, and was considered outstanding, but he was the orphan of the Lu family, so he was very eye-catching, so people around him alienated him intentionally or unintentionally. Chen also didn't want to deal with these people, so he became more silent. As time passed, only these two had a good relationship.

Lu Chen looked at it for a long time, and wrote down his doubts on a piece of paper.

The most critical thing is that they were arrested in batches.It is impossible for a flock of crows forming a crow formation to be subdued by Bai Ling. Ye Ji and the others must break the formation first and then collect the nets. Gu can just run for his life, why wait for someone to catch him?What caused them to rather be wiped out than separate?

And what is the reason why they intend to break into the city late at night?The patrolling of the capital was established by Lu Chen alone, so it is self-evident how strict it is. It is understandable that one or two crows want to slip through the net, but there are three thousand!If they let them break in, let alone the Wushamao, they may not be able to keep their heads.

And Ye Ji said that they can't transform into human form.Can't change, or stay the same?

Legend has it that the crows became human because they saved a human emperor. The emperor was the real dragon emperor. In order to thank the crows, he gave them a wisp of his human soul and dragon soul. The crows gained magical powers through this.

At first they used this phantom power to transform themselves into human form just out of curiosity, but later they found that using this human form to deal with the crowd was much more interesting than being a bird, so they were no longer willing to change back, but human crows are not ordinary things after all, suddenly The appearance of so many people with no background made the government panic. What's more, many things that seized the land, killed people and robbed goods were found to be the work of crows. Animals are animals after all, and giving them the appearance they shouldn't will make them Unexpected thoughts were born, so the government began to hunt for crows in large numbers. Since then, people and crows have been at odds with each other.

It was embarrassing that what was supposed to be a beautiful thing to save people turned into this.Whether the legend is true or not, Lu Chen doesn't know, but crows in this world do like to use human form when attacking humans, and rarely show their real bodies.Moreover, this group of crows was really stinky. Even though birds had a smell, they would never smell so bad. Although he didn't know if it was related, but if something was abnormal, there must be a demon. He had to believe that those crows were sick.

A group of sick crows forced their way into the most heavily guarded capital city in the world in the middle of the night. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed that they were dying.

Lu Chen was thinking hard when suddenly there was a knock on the door

"Enter"

It was the person in charge just now, and I respectfully presented a memo

"My lord, this is from the Privy Council."

Lu Chen took it, opened it, took a look, and ordered:

"Don't move these crows for now, I'll deal with them tomorrow."

"Yes."

Coming out of the cold prison room, Lu Chen seemed not quite used to the brightness outside, and stood with his eyes closed for a long time before coming out of the courtyard door.The main building of Yinxiao Building looks much more magnificent than the plaque at its entrance. There are Ting Wei Department, Wei Wei Department, Lang Zhongling, Dian Ke and half Yin Zhao Department in charge of prisons, military weapons and gates. , diplomacy, and this half of Yin Zhao's office is the place to manage the crackers.

Lu Chen's immediate superior, the Privy Envoy, was the third prince of the Southern Dynasty. Since he was a child, he was exceptionally intelligent and capable of both civil and military skills.The third prince has just passed his thirties, but he acts vigorously and resolutely in government affairs, is just and decisive, and is said to be very kind in private, without the airs of a prince, is loved by lower-level officials, and has an excellent reputation among the people. It may be the prince of the Southern Dynasty.

In fact, Lu Chen has a deep relationship with the third prince. He received the favor of the third prince for a long time when he was young. The prince's order did not enter Yin Zhao's office, but became the executive Jinwu.

In the eyes of outsiders, he and the third prince had a very close friendship, and the third prince probably thought so too.

"Master Sakura."

"Enter"

Lu Chen straightened his clothes slightly, opened the door and went in.

Behind the door is an intricately decorated room, and the owner of the room is noble, and even more majestic and magnificent. Although it is several times larger than the basement, it is very warm because of the surrounding stove. Standing solemnly aside, he couldn't help feeling in his heart that he had spent most of the day in that damp and cold basement.

"Sit down and warm up."

The owner of the room seemed to have heard Lu Chen's heartfelt voice, but he could only hear the voice but no one was there. After looking carefully, he could see a figure on a brocade couch in the corner.

"Thank you for your grace, my subordinates are not cold."

"Pfft", a chuckle came from the corner.

Lu Chen was not annoyed, and kept silent, but felt a gaze sweep over him, and his expression turned cold again.

The third prince didn't care, he just stood up while speaking, and only then did he see his appearance clearly.As expected of a member of the royal family, I saw that he was tall, with sword-like eyebrows and star-eyed eyes, with an imposing aura, and his appearance was imposing. He did have the appearance of an emperor. What is commendable is that although he was wearing black clothes, he not only did not look oppressed, but also looked his own. The smile is very approachable.

"Sit down quickly, the people below have brought some fruits from the north, and I have specially left some for you."

Although Lu Chen sat down, his waist was still straight, and he didn't touch the attractive fruit.Seeing this, the third prince didn't rush, he leaned forward and took one, quickly peeled it off and handed it over.Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, but took it and put it in his mouth to taste a little.

"good"

The other party smiled a little more, took the handkerchief and wiped his hands

"If you are so unfamiliar with me next time, I will punish you well."

Lu Chen ignored his joke and just said

"I checked those crows, and there is no problem with their identities. It is estimated that the crow dismantlers in the northern country tossed too hard, so they fled in a hurry."

"kindness"

Lu Chen couldn't sit still a little bit, he let out a few breaths in his heart, and then said

"But there is a slight abnormality."

"how?"

"There are too many, and there are few omissions."

The man didn't look at Lu Chen, but just played with the handkerchief in his hand

"What do you think?"

"The subordinates are ignorant."

The person opposite smiled, "You, you, you are not stupid, you are obviously lazy."

Lu Chen loosened his shoulders and didn't deny it, showing just the right shock.

"Okay, let's go back, I'll ask them to pack some fruits for you and send them home."

"Yes, my subordinates retire."

Lu Chen is not interested in whether the third prince can become the prince, but he is only Cheng En. He has no intention of participating in those political turmoil, and sometimes he would rather turn a blind eye.But this matter is indeed strange, if he must investigate it, it would be fine.

After coming out of the Privy Council, today's business is over, and even he couldn't help feeling relieved after several days of turning around. Thinking of having an appointment with Ye Ji, he stopped by Yin Zhao's office to find him.Ye Ji was very happy to see him coming, packed up and went to the usual restaurant together.

"Do you want to call Xiao Ye?"

"what ever."

"Forget it, he will definitely not want to go out when he is resting at home."

It doesn't matter to Lu Chen whether he is called Shangjiang or not. In fact, he only gets along with Ye Ji. It's just that Jiang and Ye Ji grew up together, so he gets closer to each other.In fact, Jiang probably didn't like him, but because of Ye Ji's face, he interacted with him, and Ye Ji should be regarded as kind-hearted.

Ye Ji didn't have any scheming, otherwise the two wouldn't know each other.When he was still in school, Lu Chen was once bullied by his fellow disciples. Ye Ji couldn't see it and tried to help him, but he was locked up by the teacher. In fact, those bullying was just going in from one ear to the other and coming out from the right ear, but the other party was in that kind of bullying. It's really unexpected that they are willing to fight against injustice under the circumstances, so the two of them have become good friends, sometimes when Lu Chen looks at each other, he will feel the envy of "stupid people are lucky to be stupid".

After drinking for three rounds, the two of them will say goodbye.Lu Chen lived alone in a small courtyard in the city. Although the old house of the Lu family had been returned to him, but his parents and relatives were not alive, there was no point in going back to live there, and it was vacant instead.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the courtyard, he felt that something was wrong. His occupation made him more sensitive than ordinary people. He wrinkled his nose and sniffed the smell in the air. He slowly put his hand on the dagger at his waist, and gently pushed it away. Opening the door, the scene inside the room surprised him.
