Chapter 80: The giant tree was cut down in the street! Patrol Officer, danger!
The person came very fast, leaving several afterimages behind.

The man pushed Fan Xian, and an arrow shot into Fan Xian's arm, but missed the vital part.

When the afterimage stood still, Fan Xian saw that the person coming was a middle-aged man with excellent lightness skills.

He had a white face and no beard, and looked rather honest, with another arrow in his hand.

"Uh! Uh!"

The two women in white were suddenly knocked unconscious from behind by several men in green, and then thrown directly from the second floor to Niulan Street.

The leading man in green said, "The danger nearby has been eliminated!
Wang Qinian, keep these two alive and hand them over to the Inspection Bureau for interrogation."

Wang Qinian bowed to the men in green and said, "I obey your orders!"

Then, the man in green flashed into the pavilion and disappeared.

Only then did Fan Xian realize that the man who was so fast that only his shadow was left was Wang Qinian, the leader of the Shadow Secret Guard.

"Thank you, Commander Wang..."

As soon as he said this, Wang Qinian scolded him harshly.

"Whose family are you from? Do you know how to behave?"

"The danger hasn't been eliminated yet, yet you're running around. It's fine if you're just running, but you're also shouting!"

"What are you shouting for? I'm calling for someone to kill you!"

Fan Xian felt depressed. He was just angry for a moment. Who would have thought that he would actually call out the assassin.

Xing Yusen also rushed out when he heard the noise, "Old Wang, this is Miss Ruoruo's brother, Fan Xian."

Xing Yusen had seen Fan Xian at a poetry meeting, but Wang Qinian had not, so he didn't know him.

Wang Qinian glanced at Fan Xian and thought to himself, this is His Majesty's illegitimate prince.

Considering the series of disturbances stirred up by Fan Xian's arrival in Beijing, Wang Qinian basically believed this.

"I was ambushed by a few women just after entering the city, and now I'm being assassinated again. Why are you everywhere?"

Fan Xian's expression brightened and he asked, "Commander Wang, do you believe that I was framed?"

Wang Qinian raised his eyebrows, "What a joke, in public, with eight women!"

"Who would do such a thing? Anyone with a discerning eye would know it's a false accusation."

"It's just that people only believe what they want to believe."

Fan Xian couldn't help but sigh. The two men under Prince Yong were very powerful. If it weren't for them, he would have died twice today.

"Two commanders, the man in green who just knocked out the masked woman seems to have a very high level of cultivation?"

Wang Qinian chuckled, "He's from the inner court. He's closer than me and he got there at the same time as me. He must be quite capable."

The inner court was sent by the emperor, no wonder Wang Qinian was so respectful.

As they were talking, another figure fell from the sky.

"Wang Qinian, have the assassins been caught? Who are they going to assassinate?"

Wang Qinian bowed to the man and said, "Master Ye, I just got here too. Let me listen to what Old Xing has to say."

Xing Yusen said, "Master Ye, it was Cheng Jushu, a secret agent of Northern Qi, who wanted to assassinate Fan Xian, the son of the Fan family."

The ninth-rank expert glanced at Fan Xian and revealed a look of disdain.

Wang Qinian said, "Commander Ye came so late. It turns out that he knew that Fan Xian was assassinated, so he deliberately arrived a step late."

Ye Zhong's daughter, Ye Ling'er, had her arm broken by Fan Xian. Wang Qinian's joke was not funny at all.

However, the Kyoto Garrison Division relies heavily on the Shadow Secret Guard, so Wang Qinian dares to laugh and joke with him.

"Humph! Wang Qinian, stop talking nonsense."

Ye Chong was also very worried. Fan Xian was a person that Emperor Qing valued, so he couldn't really do anything to Fan Xian.

After Ye Zhong arrived, Zong Zhui also rushed over. Seeing that Fan Xian was not seriously injured, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If Fan Xian died, Chen Pingping would beat him like a dog when he came back.

After a while, Zhu Ge from the Inspection Institute also arrived with his men.

Several government offices performed their respective duties, and eventually Cheng Jushu and the two female assassins were handed over to the Inspection Office for trial.

After everything was done, Zhu Ge said to Wang Qinian, "Commander Wang, I have a favor to ask of you."

Wang Qinian smiled and said, "Master Zhu, what is it that you need our help with?"

There are not many top experts in the Inspection Institute, and the Shadow Secret Guards have been asked to help with many things recently.

Zhu Ge said somewhat embarrassedly, "Commander Wang, Cheng Jushu is cruel and violent. Please help us escort this man together."

Wang Qinian readily agreed, "Okay, Lao Xing and I will go with you."

The convoy set off, and the prison van carrying Cheng Jushu and the female assassin slowly drove through the city.

Only at this time did Zhu Ge understand why Wang Qinian was so willing to help and did not ask for any extra money.

Wang Qinian rode his horse and approached Zong Zhui, "I've heard that Master Zong is known as the Wing of the Inspection Institute, and his Qinggong is the best in the world!"

Zong Zhui quickly said modestly, "Commander Wang, you are joking. You are the best in Qinggong in the world!"

Wang Qinian lowered his voice and said, "I have admired you for a long time, and I have heard of your abilities for a long time!
I wonder how much your monthly salary is in taels of silver..."

"The Shadow Secret Guards are now on the emperor's payroll, but His Royal Highness Prince Yong also gives them an additional salary. They can get twenty months' salary a year!"

"If Your Highness does not get hurt within a year, I will reward you with an additional ten months' salary..."

Hearing this, Zong Zhui's face changed drastically and he almost stood up from his horse!

"How can such a thing happen! One can receive thirty months' salary in one year!"

Zhuge grinned as he listened. As the leader of the Shadow Secret Guard, he had no manners at all and was openly poaching people.

Fortunately, Zong Zhui is the dean's confidant and should not be easily won over.

The commotion in the city also alarmed the nearby residents, and wherever the prison cart passed, people gathered to watch.

"It's the master of the Inspection Institute, the master of Hulong Villa, and the sergeant of the garrison division..."

"What big thing happened that required so many government officials to be dispatched?"

"It seems that someone assassinated someone in Niulan Street in broad daylight. The assassin was that strong man..."

Just as the prison van passed the place where there were the most civilians, Cheng Jushu suddenly opened his eyes.

I saw his eyes glowing red, his internal energy surged, and his muscles swelled up instantly!
With a loud bang, Cheng Jushu actually smashed the prison van open!
Cheng Jushu is nine feet tall, like a giant, covered in blood, like a devil descended to the earth!
"Go to hell, southern barbarian!"

In an instant, the onlookers fell into panic, and even the horses escorting the prison van were startled!

"Run! The prisoners are out!"

"That prisoner is so scary!"

Let a devil with horizontal training like Cheng Jushu jump into the crowd and kill several civilians with one punch!
Wang Qinian cursed, "Zhu Ge, what a lousy prisoner van you have!"

Zhuge was also panicked, "It's just a normal prison van!"

As soon as he said this, he immediately felt something was wrong. How could a normal prison van be used to escort Cheng Jushu?

But when the prison van arrived, no one knew that the person they were going to capture was Cheng Jushu!
While the two were talking, they discovered that Xing Yusen had jumped up, his arms filled with true energy, and slashed at the back of Cheng Jushu's neck!
Zhu Ge hurriedly shouted, "Commander Xing, spare his life and interrogate the mastermind behind this!"

Wang Qinian cursed, "Why keep him? If we let him join the crowd, many people will die!"

As he was speaking, Xing Yusen had already chopped down Cheng Jushu's huge head, and it fell to the ground!
Cheng Jushu's blood flowed on the street, his body torn apart, it was really tragic. The panicked people finally calmed down and watched from afar in panic.

Xing Yusen took the Northern Qi spy's token from Cheng Jushu's waist, and then said to the people around him, "This man is a Northern Qi spy!"

"The Northern Qi spy actually carried out the assassination in broad daylight. How audacious!"

"After being captured, he still wanted to massacre innocent people. This is truly a heinous crime!"

Xing Yusen shouted proudly, "Please don't panic, the evil Cheng Jushu has been killed in the street!"

After hearing Xing Yusen's words, the people's panic finally calmed down.

"It turns out that Qi Gou is here. How abominable! He came to Kyoto to kill people in broad daylight!"

"Qi is such abominable! Northern Qi should have been destroyed long ago!"

"It's fine to assassinate high-ranking officials, but why do you kill ordinary people like us? We ordinary people have provoked you. You are so heartless!"

"Great kill, sir! Kill all the Northern Qi dogs!"

Seeing Zhu Ge's bitter face, Wang Qinian said, "Master Zhu, don't look so bitter."

"Old Xing's approach is the most appropriate. If you want Cheng Jushu to kill ordinary people, you still have to kill him."

"Now that Old Xing has been killed on the spot, it can also stabilize the people's hearts. If you want to interrogate, don't you still have those two women?"

"I heard that Lord Zhu is best at interrogating female prisoners. He may be able to get something out of him after a while, hehehe..."

Zhuge's face was dark, but he couldn't say a word.

Ultimately, today's incident was caused by a problem with the prison van, and it is the responsibility of the Inspection Office.

Xing Yusen bowed to the people around him like a great hero, "For the people, everything is for the people!"

Wang Qinian said excitedly, "After the battle with Cheng Jushu, Old Xing also broke through to the ninth rank. You are really good!"

From then on, there were two ninth-rank officials in the Shadow Secret Guard!

Xing Yusen said with a smile, "Xing just wants to improve and be on par with Commander Wang."

The team walked forward for a while, and when they were about to reach the Inspection Institute, the clerk of the Inspection Institute who was escorting the masked female swordsman suddenly screamed.

"Oh no! These two women committed suicide!"

Zhuge cursed and rushed over to check. The two female swordsmen had bitten open the poison sacs hidden in their mouths.

Li Yunrui's purpose was, firstly, to assassinate Fan Xian, and secondly, to create a reason for his brother, His Majesty, to attack Qi.

The two female swordsmen are famous assassins of Northern Qi, and they are disciples of Yun Zhilan from Dongyi City. As long as their identities can be identified, it will be enough to put the blame on Northern Qi and Dongyi City.

If they were allowed to enter the Inspection Office alive, they might try to find Lin Gong.

These two killers are the death squads contacted by the Junshan Society. If they fail to complete the assassination mission, they will die.

"Damn it! What's wrong with you!"

"What are you doing? You can't even keep an eye on two women!"

Zhuge scolded his subordinates, but he was just helpless and furious.

Even though Zhuge's face was twisted with anger, he is the eldest princess's man.

I did this to express my anger to him, and I was angry and cursing just to show everyone.

……

After handing Cheng Jushu over to the Inspection Institute, Wang Qinian and Xing Yusen returned to Prince Yong's Mansion to receive their orders.

The two of them happened to catch Li Changan finishing his lunch, and told him the whole story.

After listening to it, Li Changan found that this was an enhanced version of the Niulan Street assassination.

Because of the existence of the Shadow Secret Guards, Li Yunrui and Lin Gong have strengthened their assassination power, which can be regarded as a butterfly effect.

Li Changan subdued Wang Qinian ahead of time, and Fan Xian's subordinate now became Zong Zhui, who was also good at tracking.

Cheng Jushu was killed by Xing Yusen, so Fan Xian still has to find out the real culprit behind the scenes, and Si Lili is about to escape.

Li Changan has already sent Jingwei out to rescue Si Lili at the right time.

Si Lili is Li Changan's person and must not fall into the hands of the Inspection Institute.

"Old Xing, congratulations on breaking through to the ninth rank. From now on, you will get the same salary as Old Wang, 500 taels of silver per month!"

In this world, there are only about fifty ninth-grade masters!
As long as one is a ninth-rank master, he will either hold an important position in the military of various countries, or be a hero in the martial arts world!
Because of Li Changan's arrival, there will be many more ninth-grade masters in this world.

Zhao Gao and Jingwei, who were directly summoned, are the top combat forces in this world.

Xiren, Qingwen, and the other four sword slaves who would break through to the ninth rank sooner or later, would have been able to be nothing more than ordinary palace maids and eunuchs if they had not been discovered by Li Changan's spiritual eyes.

Masters like Xing Yusen, Wang Qinian, and Teng Zijing, without Li Changan's secret book, also stopped at the seventh or eighth level.

Although Xing Yusen and others are loyal, they will never let money become an obstacle to their survival.

The treatment that Li Changan gives to the Shadow Secret Guards is enough for them to achieve financial freedom in this era.

Xing Yusen said gratefully, "If I hadn't surrendered to His Highness, I would never have been able to reach the ninth rank in my life."

"Xing knows very well that pride is a taboo! Only by maintaining this humble and cautious heart at all times can we make permanent progress!"

Xing Yusen spoke seriously and didn't sound like he was joking, but Li Changan just wanted to laugh.

There is still a small flaw to be dealt with in this matter. In the original drama, Fan Xian interrogated Si Lili and learned that the mastermind of the assassination was Lin Gong.

If Si Lili was rescued by Jingwei, Fan Xian would have no way of knowing that Lin Gong had planned the assassination.

There is another breakthrough in the assassination case, that is the lieutenant general of the City Patrol.

In the original drama, when Fan Xian found the lieutenant general, the eldest princess's forces got there first and hanged the lieutenant general's entire family.

A third-rank lieutenant general was considered an important figure in the Kingdom of Qing, but in the eyes of the eldest princess he was no different from an ant.

"Old Xing, take a dozen of your brothers and wait near the Patrol City Commander's Mansion."

Xing Yusen was quite surprised to hear Li Changan's words, "Commander-in-Chief Fang Daren of the City Patrol Division?"

As a veteran in Daqing's public security circle, it is not surprising that Xing Yusen knows the leaders of the armed police force.

"Do you know that lieutenant general?"

Xing Yusen replied, "When I was the chief constable of the Ministry of Justice, we helped each other a lot, so we can be considered friends."

Li Changan asked, "For example, when General Fang lost his weapons, did you help cover it up?"

Of course Xing Yusen knew that Li Changan was talking about the siege crossbow and hard bow used to assassinate Fan Xian.

"Ordnance is a national treasure. If it is accidentally lost, the Ministry of Justice cannot cover it up, but the Inspection Bureau can."

"General Fang once said after drinking that the Inspection Office has the responsibility of supervising all armies and has great power."

"He once bribed a clerk in the Inspection Office to cover up the loss of military equipment."

Hearing this, Wang Qinian, who was standing beside him, was filled with righteous indignation. "The Inspection Bureau is such a jerk!"

"The loss of weapons is a serious matter! If weapons fall into the hands of thieves, countless innocent lives will be lost!"

"The Inspection Bureau is under the emperor's favor and monitors the military, but they are so greedy that they dare to cover up even the biggest thing!"

Looking at Wang Qinian with his eyes wide open and his hair standing on end in anger, Li Changan couldn't help but grin.

In the original drama, the clerk who covered up the loss of military equipment must be Commander Wang!
