Chapter 264 Su Clan, the Divine Capital
A few days later, in the Six Gates of Zhou County, the signing room of the Qingshou Constable Kong Yu.
"Hey, Xiao Meng, why are you here?" Kong Yu put down the documents in his hand and stood up in surprise.
Meng Qi, dressed in black, with a knife and a sword on his back, stepped in from the outside and smiled, "Old Kong, I never come to the temple for no reason."
Kong Yu heard the music and understood the meaning, and immediately laughed: "Have you decided?"
"Of course." Meng Qi said without hesitation, "I want to be a secret agent."
"Very good, very good." Kong Yu said repeatedly. At the same time, he looked at the situation outside the room, waved his right hand, pulled his left palm, and closed the door and closed the window with his strength, "The identity of the secret agent must be kept secret, and others must be prevented from knowing."
This is not like becoming a constable in the yamen, which can be known by everyone.
Meng Qi nodded slightly, indicating that he knew, and looked at the document in Kong Yu's hand: "Old Kong, is there any big news recently?"
"No, it's the latest information about Gentleman Sword Meng Qi. He returned the Purple Sorrow Sword to the Ye family in the city through Qi Zhengyan of Huanhua Sword Sect. It is said that he went out of the pass, entered the vast sea, went to Bo Mi for revenge, and killed a half-step external scene. Because Bo Mi is dangerous, there is no circumstantial evidence, so it can only be doubted and cannot be used as a reference for the human list." Kong Yu saw that Meng Qi agreed to join the Six Gates, and he was also half of his own people, so he told him frankly, "Qi Zhengyan returned to the Huanhua Sword Sect, and it is said that he applied to travel outside."
Bo Mi is the most dangerous and mixed place in the vast sea. Many external scenes and half-step external scenes masters who are avoiding enemies are hiding here. Due to the complex terrain, many people died without anyone knowing. Meng Qi used it as a cover for the whereabouts of "Gentleman Sword" in the past year.
Meng Qi said calmly, "Where is Gentleman Sword now?"
"You want to challenge?" Kong Yu asked, thinking he knew Meng Qi, and then laughed, "But you will be disappointed. He was seriously injured and went to find a place to recover. His whereabouts are a mystery."
It seems that the Zhoujun Yamen really doesn't know that I am Gentleman Sword... Meng Qi made a positive judgment that it was probably covered up by the Shendu headquarters.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, Meng Qi stood up and said goodbye. Kong Yu sent him to the door and said in secret: "I will draft a document and report it directly to the Shendu headquarters. There will be a reply in about five days."
As the head of the Qingshou Constable, he has the right to recommend directly to the Shendu, and Meng Qi hopes to become a secret detective, which is not convenient for outsiders to know. Otherwise, he will give the recommendation document to Guo Yinzhang first, and then submit it to the prefecture and county Yamen, and they will send it to the Shendu to save the face of his superiors.
"Five days..." Meng Qi had a deeper understanding of the speed of information transmission of the Six Gates, which is absolutely not comparable to ordinary spiritual birds!
From Yedu to Shendu, even if you go downstream and the wind helps, it will take more than two months. A five-day round trip, minus the red tape of the government office, doesn't it mean you leave early and arrive late?
Could it be a teleportation array? Or a similar magical scene?
After all, the inner world is different, and the ability of the scene formed is also different. Some are quite magical. Add to that the strange people who only practice Yin spirits or incense and fire, and all kinds of strange things may happen.
…………
Five days later, Meng Qi was using the "heart-to-heart" of Ananda's sword technique to comprehend the "Heaven-changing and Earth-strike" method, and suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door.
Without getting up or spying, Kong Yu's figure naturally emerged in his spiritual perception.
"Old Kong, has Shendu given the result?" Meng Qi asked with a gentle smile, still a little immersed in the "Heaven-changing and Earth-strike" method.
Kong Yu was slightly stunned, and felt that Xiao Meng exuded an indescribable temperament at this moment. He stood there, but seemed to be unrestrained, out of the world, and walking through the world. At the same time, he smiled warmly, his eyes were deep, as if he could see the deepest part of people's hearts, like a fairy or a Buddha, with a strange charm.
However, this strange feeling was like an illusion and disappeared quickly. Kong Yu came back to his senses and laughed: "Congratulations, the Shendu headquarters approved my recommendation and appointed you as a wind-catching spy, awarded the green ribbon seal, and you can enjoy a salary of one thousand taels of silver per month."
"One thousand taels of silver?" Meng Qi asked subconsciously.
Kong Yu thought Meng Qi thought it was too little, so he explained with a smile: "This salary is not too much, but not too little either. It is stable. If we save for three to five years, we can get back the land and house deeds you sold. Moreover, the salary is only part of the harvest. We have a variety of resources to provide, which are at least 50% cheaper than the outside world. We only need to recover the cost. However, rare resources need to be applied in advance and directly deducted from the monthly salary. Of course, they cannot be resold." He lowered his voice and said: "For a head constable like us who is in charge of a place, the salary is None of them counts. The main thing is the respect from all places. The secret agents get things that come with investigating a major case or news about relics. "
The Six Gates investigate internal corruption very strictly and impose strict penalties. Relatively speaking, they indulge the detectives in minor details to avoid dissatisfaction. For example, in a big city like Ye City, there are all kinds of people. There are big forces such as the Wang family, the Huang family, and the Huanhua Sword Sect that maintain the upright order, and there are also dark underworld forces that they look down upon. There is no shortage of gang fights and various crimes.
The Six Gates are mainly responsible for suppressing the ground, maintaining stability, collecting intelligence, watching the heroes of the rivers and lakes, and investigating cases with bad influence. If you want to go deep into every corner of Ye City, you don't have enough manpower, so you have to rely on some gang forces and turn a blind eye to their black interests, as long as it does not affect the stability of Ye City and provides various intelligence.
These gang forces naturally have to pay respect to the detectives. With the Six Gates as a backing, it is something they can't wait for. If they don't do it themselves, there are many people who want to do it!
The troubleshooting chiefs are responsible for internal clean-up. Everywhere they go, they have their own place to show their respect. As long as it does not involve the deduction of internal salaries and resources, they will turn a blind eye.
These two types of headhunters have their own "outside money", which is better than their salary. Liumen Headquarters is well aware of this, so it has loose requirements for the catchers. For example, the main things obtained when exploring the ruins need to be handed over, and the fragmentary ones must be handed over. Leave them to their own devices to ensure their loyalty.
"Well, can I exchange my salary for resources?" Meng Qi didn't care about money, but being able to buy pills, utensils, etc. at cost price inside the six doors made him jealous. On the one hand, he could exchange for good deeds, and on the other hand, he could Use it for yourself and don’t waste your good deeds.
Kong Yu nodded affirmatively: "There is no problem at all. Except for the level of magic weapon, you have everything you need. However, you have to go to Beijing to meet the emperor and accept the teachings of the chief catcher and the magic catchers before you can officially join the job and enjoy the resources. Get a salary.”
"Lao Kong, when do we leave for the capital of gods?" Meng Qi was now very proactive in doing things.
Kong Yu shook his head: "You are a spy. If I accompany you or send you to the capital of God, wouldn't it be telling the world that you have joined our six sects? This will not be convenient for you in the future. So you have to set off on your own. Go to Shendu, since you are a master of the list of people, you are not afraid that people at the headquarters will not recognize you."
"Then I'll set off tomorrow." Meng Qi had a plan on his mind and pretended to be embarrassed, "Old Kong, there are many big people in the city of God, and there are aristocratic families all over the place. I don't know much about it. I'm worried that I've offended someone I shouldn't. Can you let me A secret file related to Yi Guan Shendu?”
Kong Yu pondered for a moment and said: "You are considered half a colleague. I can't show you the secret files for the time being. It's okay to have common sense information related to the city of gods."
Even if Meng Qi joins the job, he will be limited in the scope of viewing secret files based on his rank and responsibilities.
"That's enough." Meng Qi answered sincerely with a smile on his face.
…………
The next day, in Kong Yu's signing room, Meng Qi looked through the information related to the divine capital placed in front of him.
Kong Yu took it out specially to prevent Xiao Meng from revealing his identity if he went to see it by himself.
His surname was Su, and he was a Marquis. With these two items in mind, Meng Qi quickly selected what he wanted:
"The Su family is a family attached to the royal family. It has made great achievements five generations ago, and was awarded the title of Divine Power. It will be hereditary..."
"Contemporary 'Shenweihou' Su Li, a first-rate expert in the third level of the exterior scene, in charge of the family's treasured weapon 'Kunwu Sword', deputy commander of the imperial guards in front of the palace, has two sons and a daughter, and his wife Ke Weilan..."
"'Golden Eyes Catcher' Su Yue, the bastard of the Su family, the younger brother of Su Li, a top master of the sixth level of location, one of the eight great hunters, has three sons and two daughters..."
"Old Madam Bai Jingluo, the legitimate daughter of the Bai family in the divine capital, a first-rate master of the third level of outdoor scenes..."
"Ke Weilan, half-step exterior scene, his father is a master, one of the eight great gods, and he was given the title of 'Dragon Claw' by the emperor. Because of the incident involving Su Li's concubine, the Tang family, his roots were damaged and there was nothing he could do..."
"Su Zihua, now twenty-two years old, is the eldest son of Su Li's concubine and the son of Ke Weilan, the maid who was married to him. He has hidden illnesses and occasionally goes crazy, but he once had an adventure and eight orifices."
"Su Ziyuan is now in his early seventeens. Su Li's second son, the son of his concubine Tang, has entered Shaolin. His subsequent life is unknown."
…
"Is Su Ziyuan..." Meng Qi knocked on the table lightly and muttered the name silently. He had no sense of belonging to this family and had never thought about visiting. The reason why he was looking for information was purely because he was afraid that something would happen to him inexplicably after entering the city of gods. Don't know why.
He took a deep breath and really looked at the information related to Shendu.
After a while, Kong Yu opened the door and came in, holding a bag of things in his hand with a strange expression.
"Old Kong, what's wrong?" Meng Qi looked at Kong Yu in confusion.
Kong Yu closed the door and stared at Meng Qi for a long time: "You don't need to go to the capital of gods to meet the emperor, the chief catcher and the catchers."
"Ah? Why?" Meng Qi didn't know why.
"Today, an urgent secret document arrived, saying that 'Crazy Sword' Su Meng is innocent, loyal and reliable. Now that he has important matters to dispatch, he does not need to go to Beijing anymore and is directly awarded the official seal." Kong Yu was still a little bit unable to recover, " The official seal must be made by integrating one's own bloodline to prevent others from imitating it, so how can it be awarded directly..."
He took out a light cyan official seal and tied it with a cyan ribbon.
Meng Qi finally understood. He took the official seal and saw the word "Chasing the Wind" engraved on it. As he poured in his inner energy slightly, a mist of green appeared.
"Yes, it's your bloodline..." Kong Yu was stunned. When had Xiao Meng been to the Capital of Gods? Could it be that he himself is from the divine capital?
Hey, in order to prevent me from entering the city of gods, the hair, umbilical cord, blood and other things were specially found from the ancestral hall... Meng Qi guessed that every time a new member is added, the big family will enshrine his hair, umbilical cord blood and other items equal to the ancestral hall. Inside: "Lao Kong, what's the mission?"
Kong Yu took out the official document: "Many masters gathered in Maoling, Jiangdong, and a head catcher secretly investigated the cause. As a result, he disappeared mysteriously. Half a month later, the body was found in Yangxia, Huazhou."
Jiangdong... Meng Qi suddenly became excited.
