Tianjing, the capital city of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Established since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty a thousand years ago, this city has a long history and a deep enough heritage.
People come and go in the city, and there are few poor families, most of which are wealthy or above.
Most of the families are wealthy, and most of the powerful families are concentrated in Tianjing, the capital city of a thousand years. Anyone who is picked up on the street is likely to be the son of one of the court officials.
However, there is still an area in this city where the powerful and noble gather, where they do not dare to set foot.
Well – this place, naturally, could not be the imperial palace. If it were the imperial palace, then they would not dare, they would not be able.
The place they fear like tigers and wolves is nowhere else but the fearsome Department Six.
Perhaps if they had been a Jianghu, they might have dared to step straight into the area of Department Six, because to them, Department Six was the court’s hawk, and regardless of their strength, they had to have the courage to not be afraid of the court’s hawk.
Although the Jianghu people fear the power of Department Six, they also despise the fact that they are martial artists who are willing to serve as the court’s hawks and dogs.
But if you were a powerful man who knew the inside story, you wouldn’t even dare to despise them.
The reason is that dealing with the Jianghu people, apprehending important criminals and mediating disputes in the Jianghu area is just one of the functions of Department Six. It is only because force is paramount at this time that this function is most conspicuous, and the highest leader, the Sheriff God, is known by the name of the Sheriff God.
More of the functions of Department Six are still focused within the court.
Department Six is the collective name for the Three Departments of Justice, which are divided into three departments: the Ministry of Punishment, the Da Lisi and the Du Cha Yuan, so to speak, and all of the justice of the Great Qian is customised by the Three Departments of Justice.
The Ministry of Punishment, among the six departments, is just one of the three departments of the Six Departments.
The Department of Six in this world actually combines the functions of both the Sheriff and the Jin Yi Guards into one, and also performs the trial and enforcement of criminal law on the side, so it can be said to be very powerful.
Otherwise, the golden seal with purple ribbon, which belongs to the Prime Minister, would not have fallen into the hands of the Sheriff God of Department Six. It can be said that the Sheriff God is the military chancellor of the court, alongside the prime minister, the head of the civil officials, and the military general, the head of the military officials, and above him is the Great Qian Emperor.
Well – having said that, it is just an introduction to the functions, and the horrors, of Department Six.
However, at this moment, one of the four second-in-command of this terrifying judicial organisation, Lord Lu Qifeng, the “Wind Chaser”, was looking at the letter in his hand with a gloomy face, obviously in a bad mood because of the news on this letter.
“Master, what has made you so angry?” As soon as Luo Yan entered the door, he saw his own master with a face like a black pot and could not help but ask in a voice.
“Read it yourself!” Lu Qi Feng threw the letter in his hand at Luo Yan.
True qi turned into wind power, lifting the letter paper and gently floating it into Luo Yan’s hand.
“Qian?” Luo Yan looked at the letter and saw that there were no extra words on it, only a large character “Qian”. Oh, besides the letter paper, there was also a small porcelain vase that floated along with it.
“The word ‘Qian’ is the state name of this dynasty, no one dares to write it on paper easily, and it is usually only seen on flags. However, the word ‘Qian’ on the banner has always been embroidered with gold silk. The only person who dared to write the word ‘Qian’, or in black, was the Shadow King who had spent his life hiding in the shadows and dared to do so.” Lu Qifeng explained without good humour.
“What is the meaning of this ‘Qian’ character sent by the Shadow King?” Luo Yan asked in a suspicious voice.
“The word ‘Qian’ comes from the Shadow King’s hand, but this letter, however, is not from the Shadow King. It’s Qing Yu, that guy has defected to the Shadow King and is now sending this letter to demonstrate. This guy, he’s really become something.”
“Isn’t Qing Yu afraid that we’ll leak his identity out? Once his identity is leaked, the True Martial Sect will definitely not let him go. Moreover, the rest of the Jianghu people must also be interested in him. You know, earlier when it was rumoured that Qing Yu possessed the True Martial Sword and the Xuan Fa heritage, many people just dismissed it as a rumour.
But now it was different, he was the No. 1 Gong Zi Yu of the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking. If the dead Qing Yu were to reappear now, many would covet the origin of his martial arts. Even if it wasn’t a Xuanfa inheritance, being able to make a Houtian realm midshipman become number one on the Dragon and Phoenix Ranking in a short period of time would cause many people to be greedy. ”
Luo Yan slowly analysed. It had to be said that he had a thorough understanding of jianghu matters and had accurately caught Qing Yu’s dead center, so it was no wonder that he was the leader among the young talents of Department Six in this generation.
“It’s different now,” Lu Qifeng shook his head with a headache, “the current Saint succeeded the throne at an early age, causing the Shadow Tower, a power in the shadows, to lose control and fall into the hands of that ambitious fellow, the Shadow King. Over the years, the Shadow King’s power has swelled more and more, and has long since ceased to be satisfied with its power in the shadows, and has begun to infiltrate key members of the court.
With the Shadow King holding us hostage, it’s difficult for our Department Six to strike at Qing Yu.”
“Besides, do you think Qing Yu doesn’t have the strength to threaten us? You open that bottle and smell it.”
Luo Yan complied and opened the small white bottle, “Hmm, is this —— gunpowder?”
Luo Yan was naturally no stranger to the raw material for this firework that bloomed at the annual festival time. However, the smell of this gunpowder was a bit strange, not like normal gunpowder.
“That is gunpowder that has been personally refined,” Lu Qifeng said, “Weapons made from this gunpowder can already pose a threat to martial artists of the Xiantian realm. The man who sent the letter for Qing Yu said that if he would promise not to do anything to hurt everyone’s friendship, then everyone would be fine and he would provide Department Six with weapons made from this gunpowder, if not, then we would have to find another way to sell the weapons.”
Find another outlet? That was just a joke, with the Shadow House in place, there would be no fear of no sales outlets. Of course, Qing Yu’s threat was not about whether there was a sales outlet, but about who the sale would be to.
If not to Department Six, then to Department Six’s enemies. As the hawks of the court who suppressed the forces of the Jianghu, Department Six was never short of enemies. Although there was not much threat to the Divine Origin realm, not everyone in Department Six was a Divine Origin.
At the Divine Origin realm, they were usually Silver Seal Constables who could sit on one side of the town.
So ——
“Qing Yu’s identity must not be leaked.” Luo Yan thought of that consequence and couldn’t help but shout.
“Yes it must not be leaked, that, I will promise him.”
“But ——” Lu Qifeng’s words turned, “Keeping his identity from leaking is not ensuring his safety, at least, we won’t stop others from finding trouble with Qing Yu, even if that trouble seeker is one of our divine constables from Department Six.”
Hearing the song, Luo Yan, who had followed Lu Qifeng for many years, immediately thought of who that trouble-seeker was.
Meng Wuchang, the “Changeless Divine Constable”, had wanted to know who the secret agent was that was lurking in the Shanhe Academy with his disciple for a long time.
