I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 989 Unreliable

"Bai Hanlin dares to slander the court officials without any evidence. Please..."

Before Qu Tao finished his accusation, he was interrupted by Xiao Wu.

"Why should I slander you? As an official appointed by the court, factors that are not conducive to the stability of the court should be eliminated in time to relieve the worries of the emperor. Do you want to be the next target of assassination?"

"You..." Qu Tao blushed and pointed at Xiao Wu, not knowing how to refute.

Emperor Chengxuan was in a good mood as he watched Xiao Wu speechless Qu Tao. This man was a member of the Mu family and obeyed Prime Minister Mu's orders.

"Where is Jingzhao Prefecture?"

"I am here,"

"Jingzhao Prefecture is responsible for the security of Jingdu. How can they be allowed to harm the court officials? My dear, as the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, it is your duty to ensure the peace and happiness of the people of Jingdu. You should solve the secret door as soon as possible to avoid unrest in the court."

"I obey your order."

Prefect Ma bowed and accepted the order.

After the court meeting was over, he immediately stopped Bai Xiaowu.

"Please stay, Hanlin Bai. Please provide more information about the secret door."

This man had been ambushed by the secret door, so he must know some information. With his help, it would be easy to defeat the secret door.

"Mr. Ma, you are too polite. Two of the gangsters who ambushed me died. Their bodies have been sent to the charity cemetery, and the rest have escaped. But there is a secret door logo on the cuffs of the gangsters. I can't help the others."

Xiaowu thought for a while and recounted what he saw that day.

"So that's the case, but there are still a few clues. Especially these schools that are mixed in the world, they appear and disappear mysteriously, and I don't know where they are hiding. I'm afraid it's not easy to investigate."

Ma Fuyin frowned. The emperor personally ordered that he must close the case as soon as possible.

If he neglected it, he might be impeached by the censor.

Seeing the embarrassed look on Ma Fuyin's face, Xiao Wu paused in his departure.

"Master Ma, those villains attacked me while I was on leave. There are only two possibilities for them to be so familiar with my whereabouts. One is that someone assisted them, and the other is that they were hiding in a corner of Kyoto. They are desperate criminals and have kung fu skills, so they are naturally different from ordinary people."

"Industries like escort agencies and casinos are all good hiding places, but how to investigate them specifically still depends on Master Ma's efforts."

Hearing Bai Xiaowu's suggestion, Master Ma's eyes lit up. Jingzhao Prefecture manages the security of Kyoto. As long as they conduct a thorough investigation and focus on investigating the floating population, it should be easy to find a breakthrough.

Just as Bai Hanlin said, those people have kung fu skills, which are different from ordinary people. Even if they are mixed among the people, it is not difficult to find them. As long as the bounty order is posted, there will always be someone to tip off.

"Thank you, Bai Hanlin, for your advice. I'm leaving."

Ma Fuyin bowed and left in a hurry. After returning to the government office, he immediately called for people and divided them into two groups. One group was responsible for investigating the floating population, and the other group was responsible for checking the escort agencies, casinos and brothels.

After issuing one order after another, watching the people below carry out the orders, Ma Fuyin leaned back in his chair and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sir, what happened in the court? Why did it happen so suddenly?" The staff standing next to him looked at Ma Fuyin's thundering methods and couldn't help raising their eyebrows.

"Sir, you don't know that in the court today, Bai Hanlin submitted a memorial to the emperor, saying that there were hidden dangers in the security of Kyoto and asked for a strict investigation. This matter naturally fell on us."

Ma Fuyin took a sip of tea,

"Bai Hanlin was attacked by the secret door. As for who ordered it, it is not something we can intervene in."

They are fighting between two tigers, so don't let him, an innocent person, be affected.

"Kyoto's public security is indeed under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture. Your Excellency does not need to worry. Guard Zhang is good and experienced. As long as the Dark Door Organization settles in Kyoto, it will definitely leave clues and will not be able to escape."

"I think so too. Although the government and the underworld do not interfere with each other, the whole world belongs to the king. As a Jianghu organization, no matter how bold it is, it dares not go against the government."

"Your Excellency is right."

After Bai Xiaowu filed a complaint, he returned to the Hanlin Academy to work. As for how the prefectural governor investigated, he did not care at all.

He just wanted to make a mountain and scare the tiger. As long as the goal was achieved, it would be fine.

After today, it depends on who can't hold back first.

In the game of officialdom, sometimes you don't need to rush up with real knives and guns to let the other party reveal their feet.

Of course, he has a key suspect. As long as someone is watching, he will always catch clues. As long as he has done it, it is impossible to completely clear the tail.

Otherwise, how to say, if you don't want others to know, you must not do it yourself.

Bai Yunxi only asked about Xiaowu's counterattack and did not participate. Dean Zhang and Xiaowu were planning together, so she only needed to sit behind the scenes and watch.

Taking advantage of her free time, she asked Yahui to come and bought a thousand acres of land outside Dongcheng. Although they were all dry land, they were all medium-grade fields. As long as the land was properly fertilized, the soil could be improved and turned into high-quality land.

These days, having money and shops is not as good as having good land.

Bai Yunxi directly handed these fields to Lao Er to take care of. After signing the lease documents with the tenants, she taught them how to use rotten leaves and riverbed silt to make fertilizer. Those who could increase grain production would be rewarded for the top ten.

The promised rewards were all real benefits, and they were finally reduced from the rent.

The tenants were naturally fully cooperative with this encouragement. As tenants, what they hoped most was to harvest more grain and not go hungry. Even if the landlord did not give rewards, they were looking forward to harvesting more grain.

Bai Yunxi stayed in the yard most of the time, playing with his grandson, reading books, and occasionally attending banquets when invited. His life was very comfortable.

After a thorough investigation, the prefect finally locked in several suspects. After several battles, he finally caught the dark door organization hidden in the underground casino and arrested two leaders.

After Xiaowu got the news, he immediately went to the dungeon of Jingzhao Prefecture. He didn't know what tricks he used, but got two account books from the other party.

One recorded the transaction list, and the other recorded the money.

On the same day, the two account books appeared on the dragon case of Emperor Chengxuan.

Ma Fuyin glanced at Bai Hanlin, who was calm and composed next to him, and his forehead was throbbing. He really didn't expect that a small dark door organization would have such a huge amount of silver and money transactions... The account book was fine, but the most terrifying thing was the transaction list.

He didn't know what the dark door was thinking, and even made a list.

For such a murder and robbery, shouldn't the employer's privacy be protected?

It's really unreliable. Who dares to hire a killer in the future?

Now it's exposed. Everything is clearly laid out before His Majesty. If His Majesty gets angry, his life will be in danger at any time.
