Chapter 192 Black Tiger Water Village
Chang Zhichong walked up to Qingchen and said, "Inspector Qing, this mansion is a little dilapidated and not worthy of your status.
Our Chang family, with many family monks, plans to renovate it for you immediately. Don't worry, it won't take long. We are all monks and will be ready soon. "
Chang Zhichong may not have noticed it yet, but there was already a hint of awe in his voice at this time.
Qingchen nodded expressionlessly.
After Chang Zhichong got Qingchen's permission, he waved his hand and asked the family members to start using various spells to tidy up the mansion for Qingchen.
While Chang Zhichong and others were busy renovating the mansion.
Qingchen put away the accusations and evidence written by those disciples one by one.
"From today on, the responsibility of taking charge of the Xuanchang Island Inspectorate will be handed over to Deng Ziyue."
Immediately, Qingchen's eyes scanned everyone present.
"What do you think about this matter?
Who agrees and who opposes? "
As soon as these words came out, the entire space seemed to freeze.
The monks stationed below were silent, and no one dared to make a sound.
He didn't even dare to show an expression on his face, for fear of accidentally offending this resolute inspector.
They know in their hearts that any objection at this moment is tantamount to seeking death.
Seeing this scene, Qingchen nodded with satisfaction.
Then he began to assign tasks in an orderly manner.
He ordered the monks stationed on the island to deliver the news to the three major families on the island and other small families:
"Inform the heads of each family to gather at the main hall of the Inspector's Office in seven days. I, Qingchen, have something important to discuss with you."
Although Qingchen's voice was not loud, it was like morning bells and evening drums, leaving no room for doubt.
After receiving the order, the monks stationed there did not dare to slack off and left one after another.
They each got busy, preparing to deliver this sudden summons.
In the mansion, Chang Zhichong was busy directing the family monks.
The renovation work is progressing rapidly, various spells are shining brightly, and the originally slightly dilapidated mansion is gradually glowing with new vitality.
Chang Zhichong looked up at the door from time to time, secretly trying to figure out Qingchen's intentions.
Time flies by like a flash, and the seven-day period has arrived in the blink of an eye, and it is now evening.
In the main hall of the Inspectorate's Mansion, the lights were brightly lit and the atmosphere was solemn.
The heads of the major families arrived one after another and entered the reception hall.
More than a dozen family heads, surrounded by three people, were headed by Chang Shiro, whom Qingchen had seen during the day.
Qingchen sat on the main seat with a solemn expression, scanning the heads of the family gathered below.
"Fellow heads of the family." Qingchen's voice was steady and powerful, "I have summoned you all today to discuss two important matters.
First, I need detailed information about the monks in your family. Including the number of people, cultivation levels, and the specific number of monks sent by Xuanchang Island to the two battlefields, they were reported one by one.
This is related to the deployment of Xuanchang Island's defense forces, and there is no room for error. "
As soon as these words came out, all the family heads looked embarrassed and exchanged subtle glances with each other.
They knew that Qingchen's move was undoubtedly to find out the actual strength of each family.
But in the face of the majesty of the Ningxuan Sect's inspectors, no one dared to openly resist.
These family heads were also human beings, and they all nodded in agreement, saying that they would compile the information and report it as soon as possible.
Tsuneshiro was no exception, and he did not jump out to sing the opposite.
Seeing this, Qingchen nodded slightly and his tone became more solemn:
“Secondly, the current situation is turbulent, monks gathered on the two battlefields, and various families have sent monks to help.
However, this also left the defenses around the four islands empty and bandits rampant. In particular, the Black Tiger Water Village has a notorious reputation. If it is not destroyed in time, it may become a serious problem.
Therefore, I decided to organize a joint operation to completely eliminate this scourge and avoid future troubles. "
These words are like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
All the family heads looked at each other with different expressions.
As the Chang family is a big family on Xuanchang Island, Chang Shiro was the first to speak: "What Inspector Qing said is absolutely true, the Black Tiger Water Village is indeed a major hidden danger.
However, Xuanchang Island has recently sent many monks to the two major battlefields. Now, with only the strength to defend the foundation, it may be difficult to send manpower to clean up the bandits. "
Other family heads also echoed, expressing the difficulties of their respective families.
This is also the result of Qingchen entering the island to establish his authority.
If Qingchen hadn't done that series of operations, there might not be all the family heads here.
The first thing is that since the monks have already sent him, there is no harm in telling Qingchen because of his apparent strength.
Of course, if Qingchen was a soft persimmon, they wouldn't agree so readily.
The second thing involved their family's safety, so they didn't agree so readily. To put it bluntly, they just didn't want to waste any more energy.
Qingchen listened quietly, already thinking about it in his heart.
"I, Qingchen, will consider your concerns myself." He said slowly,
"But the matter of banditry cannot be delayed. I propose that each family should allocate available troops according to their own situation to form a coalition and form a battle formation.
As for the command of the foundation-building monks, I and Chang Zhishen will be in charge together to ensure that the operation goes smoothly, and the Xuanxue Battle Boat will also participate in the encirclement and suppression. "
Changshiro's face darkened, and he was obviously extremely dissatisfied with Qingchen's proposal. He said:
"Inspector Qing, as our Xuanchang Island is a second-level island, according to the decree of the Sect, we are going to dispatch one monk in the foundation-building stage and dozens of monks in the Qi-refining stage to go to the battlefield.
This time, in order to support the two major battlefields, the Chang family has dispatched a foundation-building elder and several Qi-refining stage monks.
The number of foundation-building monks in the family is already stretched thin. The Chang family only has four foundation-building monks in total. It is really difficult to recruit another one. "
As soon as Toshiro finished speaking, other family heads nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere became subtle and tense for a moment.
Liu Lie, the head of the Liu family, a burly middle-aged man, said:
"Inspector Qing, I am the only one in the Liu family who is in the foundation-building stage. We can try our best to mobilize the monks in the qi-refining stage. But we can't do that in the foundation-building stage."
The head of the Cao family, Cao Yuan, an old man with a pale face, also took up the conversation:
"Yes, Inspector Qing, I am the only two foundation-building monks of the Cao family. The foundation-building monks are the backbone of our family. Once they are lost, the family's strength will be greatly reduced.
We understand the inspector's determination to wipe out the bandits, but we also ask the inspector to understand our difficulties. "
At this moment, Qingchen's face was so gloomy that he could squeeze out water.
Of course, most of it is pretending.
He had never thought about going to destroy the 'Black Tiger Water Village'.
This is just a game, a game where you want to win.
Qingchen snorted coldly, "Huh, if that's the case, then you will send your family's Qi Refining Stage monks to form a battle formation, and first clear out the water bandit strongholds where there are no Foundation Establishment monks to guard them.
If we set off in a month, we should just practice and warm up, but don't fool this patrol officer with those little water bandits. "
After saying that, Qingchen walked away.
