Lord of Puro

Chapter 512 Snow Flower Pool

In Xiaoyaowu, in the famous actor's room, Ma Wu looked sullenly at Shen Jinzhong, the big golden seal of Sanyingmen, on the wine table.

Ma Wu is a businessman. In business, harmony is the key to making money. At the dinner table, Ma Wu rarely shows a bad face to others, but today, he was really angry.

"Shen Jinyin, you are so hard to invite. I have invited you several times, and you finally came today."

Shen Jinzhong laughed dryly: "Fifth Master, I did encounter some problems before, and I will apologize to you today."

Da Jinyin's humble attitude somewhat eased the atmosphere. Ma Wu asked, "You already knew the reason for Qin Tianjiu's matter, why didn't you tell us?"

Shen Jinzhong quickly explained: "Fifth Master, I did hear some rumors before, but I dare not speak carelessly about things that I am not sure of."

"What are you unsure about? Isn't that man called An Zongding your friend?"

When An Zongding was mentioned, Shen Jinzhong stopped talking and his eyes wandered around.

Ma Wu understood what he meant and ordered his men to go out first.

There were only two people left in the wing room, and Shen Jinzhong finally spoke: "Fifth Master, An Zongding cannot be considered my friend, he should be considered my master."

Shen Jinzhong was a martial artist, and Ma Wu knew this. There were many practitioners in both the civil and martial Taoist sects, and they had fixed routines and methods for their practice, which were basically public, so civil and martial practitioners did not care too much about their master-disciple relationship.

"Shen Jinyin, don't just find an excuse to evade me. You said he was your master, but I want to hear who your master is."

Shen Jinzhong waved his hand and said, "I'm not talking about a sect, I'm talking about a gang. An Zongding is one of the founders of the Sanying Sect."

Ma Wu was stunned. How many years has Sanyingmen been around?

There is no written history in Puro Province, but since the records of Ma Wu's father Ma Chunting, Sanyingmen has been the largest gang in Puro Province.

"How old is An Zongding?"

Shen Jinzhong shook his head: "I don't know. No one in Sanyingmen knows. Even the late Bao Jingzhong doesn't know. Elder An's cultivation is not on the ground, and his age is not something I can guess."

An Zongding is a cultivator in the clouds.

The cultivators in the clouds are indeed not easy to mess with, but just based on this fact, don’t think you can scare Ma Wu.

Feng Daiku, autumn leaves, springs of water, if we really talk about the supporters in the clouds, Ma Wu has quite a few.

"So, your Sanying Sect is still under the control of An Zongding?"

Shen Jinzhong still shook his head: "He usually doesn't ask about the gang's affairs. Now he mainly manages the business of Xuehuapu."

"Xhuahuapu?" Ma Wu was stunned.

Shen Jinzhong nodded and said, "Fifth Master, you should understand my difficulties now. I can't tell you about this. I can only find a way to find Xiaojiu back."

Ma Wu pinched his chin and didn't speak for a long time.

……

In Suishenju, Li Banfeng and his wife were listening to music to relieve boredom. The record player played a song and Li Banfeng said the title of the song.

You are wrong. Li Banfeng puts rouge on his wife.

You are right, Li Banfeng was scratching his wife’s belly.

The lady knew that Li Banfeng was a bit competitive, so the songs she chose were not too difficult, allowing Li Banfeng to win a few more games.

But when Li Banfeng scratched the itch, he was really ruthless, and the music with his ten fingers made the record player laugh so hard that it choked several times.

"No, sir, I can't bear it anymore. You can't hold me anymore, but I can't breathe out anymore."

The record player begged again and again before Li Banfeng stopped, and a puff of steam spurted out of the speaker.

The record player took a breath for a moment, and suddenly felt something unusual: "Husband, go to room five and see, the bitch in that room is making some noise."

This is the ability of the house spirit. She can sense every change in the house.

When Li Banfeng arrived at the fifth room, he really saw a flash of light on the wall, and a picture appeared in front of Li Banfeng.

Through this picture, Li Banfeng saw the situation outside Suishenju.

In Li Banfeng's residence, the light of the projector kept flickering, as if someone was urgently looking for Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng asked, "How did you know the projector was looking for me?"

The scene switched, and a field appeared on the wall. The beautiful girl from the fifth room was wearing a gauze skirt and picking flowers in the field:

"I didn't know he was looking for you. I just missed him, and I looked out the window and saw that he was very anxious."

It is difficult to understand the fifth girl. With so many magic weapons in the house, why does she have a special liking for the projector?

Li Banfeng came out of the living room, and the projector said hurriedly: "Director Qi, there is a call. It is Luo Zhengnan's phone call. He called several times. It should be urgent to find you."

Li Banfeng took the phone, plugged in the dial, and called Luo Zhengnan. Luo Zhengnan picked up the phone and immediately transferred the call to Ma Wu without saying much.

When the call was connected, Ma Wu said to Li Banfeng, "Seventh Brother, it's best not to investigate An Zongding's affairs any further."

Li Banfeng frowned and asked, "Why don't you check?"

Ma Wu hesitated for a moment and said, "This person is too important."

Hearing Ma Wu's hesitation, Li Banfeng frowned and asked, "Who is this person that scares you like this?"

Ma Wu thought for a long time and said, "Have you heard of Xuehuapu?"

"Have not heard."

"How should I tell you?" Ma Wu thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any foreign currency on you?"

Li Banfeng was used to carrying some silver dollars with him: “Yes.”

"Bring one out and let us see it."

Li Banfeng took out a silver dollar. The word "Pro" was engraved on the front of the dollar and a snowflake was engraved on the back. All silver dollars in Pro State were of this style. Li Banfeng had never asked what special meaning this snowflake had.

Ma Junyang said: "Seventh Brother, all the silver coins in Pro Province are made in Xuehuapu. You should know how special this place is."

Li Banfeng took the silver dollar, fiddled with it in his hand for a while, and asked, "Is this An Zongding the leader of Xuehuapu? Where is Xuehuapu? I'll go talk to him."

Ma Wu didn't know what to say.

"Seventh Brother, this place is really not something we can afford to mess with. Xiaopang was lucky this time and was rescued by us. His wife is also back. He doesn't need to go back to Sanyingmen anymore. We can just take care of it ourselves. This matter ends here."

Li Banfeng still didn't understand the current situation: "Tell me where Xuehuapu is first, and I'll go take a look when I have time."

"Xhuapu is an unnameable place. No one can tell where it is.
People from Xuehuapu rarely show up, and we rarely talk about Xuehuapu. If we talk too much, they will hear us.

Lao Qi, listen to my advice, this matter cannot be investigated any further."

What's wrong with Ma Wu? Why is he so cautious in what he says?

Li Banfeng returned to Suishenju and asked the record player, "Madam, where is Xuehuapu?"

"That's where the coins are minted. That's where all the silver dollars in Provence come from."

"People who work in this place must be very special, right?"

"Those who can manage the currency of Pro Province are naturally not ordinary people. People in Pro Province don't dare to talk about them, and I don't know much about them."

Li Banfeng turned to ask Suishenju: "Grandpa, have you ever been to Xuehuapu?"

The old man's answer was completely expected: "I think I have been there, but I forgot where."

Hong Ying didn't know the concept of Xuehua Pu. Other magic weapons had heard of Xuehua Pu, but none of them knew more than the lady.

Li Banfeng had a key question at the moment: "Xuehua Pu is so powerful, and their people rarely show up. Why did they suddenly show up this time, and suddenly targeted me?"

Compared to the others, Honglian knew more: "The people of Xuehuapu rarely show up, but that doesn't mean they stay in Xuehuapu all the time.
People from Xuehuapu often travel around Pro Province. After understanding the situation in Pro Province, they know how much money to mint and how to distribute the money. "

Spread the money?
Li Banfeng noticed this sentence.

Honglian continued, "The so-called not showing up means that the people of Xuehuapu will not easily reveal their identities. If the other party reveals their identity, there must be a special reason."

An Zongding is from Xuehuapu. He is investigating me and has sent the souls who have had contact with me to other states.

Chu Zikai took over these dead souls and resold them to the black market. Could he also be from Xuehuapu?

Does the Dark Star Bureau have information about Xuehua Pu?
There is too much information to check, and a lot of information in the Dark Star Bureau is not allowed to be entered into electronic devices. I don’t know how long it will take to finish looking through it one by one.

……

"It's already this late, and he still has the energy to read the information?"

"He has done nothing wrong, so he must know what's going on."

The next morning, Chuuji returned to his workstation, picked up a fighter's dark ability tutorial, and read it carefully word by word.

He read very seriously indeed. From 8:30 to 10 o'clock, he only looked at this page and never turned it over.

He is very nervous and can only hide his nervousness by studying.

Shen Jingye asked his superiors for permission, and they agreed to use the dark ability tester.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the tester will be started, and a comprehensive test of his dark ability growth in the past year will be carried out.

He had secretly taken the blending potion several times, and imagining the growth curve of his own abilities, Chuunibyou couldn't help but shudder.

Gudongdong!
This shudder caused the surrounding tables to shake.

The star asked in surprise: "What's wrong? Urgent to pee?"

Chuunib nodded, "Yeah a little bit, I'm going to the bathroom."

He had just stood up when his phone rang. Li Qi asked him to go to the office.

When they arrived at Director Li's office, Zhong Er was still shaking as he sat on the sofa. Li Banfeng took out a test report and said to Zhong Er, "The ingredients of the powder you confiscated from the black market dealers have been identified. They are not blending agents."

Zhong Er was stunned: "That's the blending agent. After I took it, I could feel my cultivation level improve."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "The powders sold by black market merchants contain a lot of hallucinogenic ingredients. He makes money this way. If you don't believe me, take a look at the test results."

Zhong Er took the test report and took a look at it. The report had the sample number and main properties written on it. It clearly stated that the sample contained hallucinogenic ingredients.

Zhong Er was surprised for a long time and said, "But after I took those powders, I had obvious symptoms of dizziness and fatigue. These are all caused by the side effects of the blending agent."

Li Banfeng said: "This is not a side effect of the blending agent, it is caused by the toxicity of the powder. Look at the test report again, it says that this powder is poisonous."

It did state on the test report that the sample had a certain degree of toxicity, but the toxic components had not been confirmed and further testing was required.

Zhong Er held the test report and was speechless for a long time. He didn't know whether to cry or laugh at this moment.

I was cheated by a black market merchant, but this black market merchant actually saved me!
Wait, it’s not over yet.

Zhong Erdao: "Director Li, I told you that I have taken the blending agent more than once. The blending agents I took before were not taken from him. Those blending agents should be real."

Li Banfeng asked: "Where do those blending agents come from?"

"I got them all from the black market at the Cultural Palace. Some of them I bought with my savings, and some of them I confiscated while on missions."

Li Banfeng said, "Don't worry about that. I have investigated the black market in the Cultural Palace. In the past few years, the blending agents they sold were all of this type."

"They're all fake?" Zhong Er didn't quite believe it. "You mean to say that I've been deceived all along?"

"Yes, you were cheated. You never got the real blending agent. The money you were cheated of will definitely not be recovered. As for the feelings you were cheated of, you can only find a place to wipe your tears."

Li Qi's voice kept echoing in Chuunibyou's mind.

"You've been deceived. You never got the real blending agent..."

Chuuji rubbed his forehead and suddenly felt relieved.

I have never taken the blending agent, so what should I worry about?
He bowed to Li Banfeng repeatedly to express his gratitude, then walked out of the office with his chest puffed out.

Li Banfeng put the test report into the file box.

This test report has nothing to do with the blending agent that Zhong Er took. This is not a test report of the blending agent at all.

While fighting against the centipede workshop, Li Banfeng collected some fragments of the main steam pipe and handed them over to the laboratory for testing.

These fragments have certain toxic and hallucinogenic components, but the test report only had the sample number written on it. The middle school student who was fooled by the technique of cultivation ignored many details and took this test report as irrefutable evidence.

With this ironclad evidence, Zhong Er was convinced that he had not taken the blending agent. At 2 pm, after a search, it was confirmed that he did not carry any dark energy carriers, and Zhong Er was taken to the testing room.

The testing room is divided into two layers, the inner and outer layers. Zhong Er stayed in the inner layer, which was less than two square meters in area. It was stuffy and hot, and there was no light. He sat there for a full hour.

This is obviously weakening the psychological defenses of the person being tested.

If it had been yesterday, Chuuji would have collapsed, because just at this time yesterday, he still believed that he had taken the blending agent.

But now the middle-aged man is very calm. No matter what he has done subjectively or what he has thought before, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that he has not taken the mixer in violation of the rules, because he has never gotten the real mixer. This is an objective fact.

A strong light came through the room and shone into Zhong Er's eyes. Zhong Er squinted his eyes and suddenly felt the chair under him begin to vibrate violently.

The test begins!

Shen Jingye and a group of directors stood outside the testing room, looking at the middle school students in the testing room expressionlessly.

After a shake, a large beam of light passed through Chuunibyou's body.

These lights seemed to have real texture, giving the middle school student the illusion of being pierced by thousands of arrows, and even at one point he felt like he was about to be dismembered.

Shen Jingye glanced at Li Qi, sighed and said, "I have always insisted on a point of view that really important things should not be handed over to machines to handle, because machines do not know how to adapt.
I really wanted to leave Qin Minghui a way out. Even if he left the Dark Star Bureau, he would get a stable job and live the rest of his life in peace. But this way out was destroyed by you."

Li Qi looked at Zhong Er, looked at the various complicated instruments and equipment around the testing room, and said to Shen Jingye: "How long will it take for this thing to produce results?"

Shen Jingye said: "The test is completed and the results are immediately available. There is no room for easing up."

Li Banfeng nodded: "That's good, let's put this on hold. If the test shows that Zhong Er violated the rules by taking the blending agent today, I will give up my position as director and you can arrange a place for me. I will not ask about the affairs of the bureau anymore."

Shen Jingye smiled and said, "Director Li, I have also heard of your reputation in Pro Province. Now that you have spoken, you must keep your word!"

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "Don't worry about that. I will never break my promise. But I have to make it clear. If the test today doesn't show that Zhong Er violated the rules by taking the blending agent, you will personally approve a batch of blending agents for Zhong Er, enough for him to be promoted to a second-level fighter, as compensation."

Shen Jingye frowned and said, "This is not in compliance with the regulations."

Li Banfeng sneered: "Wrongly accusing an innocent colleague, is that in compliance with the regulations? Director Shen, do you dare to gamble? If you dare to gamble, sign the contract immediately. If you admit your weakness, just say it!"

A group of bureau chiefs were watching from the side. Shen Jingye shook his head and said, "I really don't like your underworld habits, but today I am willing to bet with you this time in order to warn you of your arrogance and ignorance!"

To be honest, Shen Jingye has been patient for a long time.

Due to his special identity as the balancer, he cannot send Li Qi out of the Dark Star Bureau, but if he can adjust Li Qi's position so that he no longer interferes in the affairs of the bureau, Shen Jingye will never miss this opportunity.

Li Qizhen prepared the deed and pressed his fingerprints on it first.

Shen Jingye was also unambiguous. He pointed with his fingertips and pressed his fingerprints.

Li Banfeng reminded him: "Outside states have their own methods, and Mainland China has its own methods. If you cheat and create false test results to wrongly accuse Zhong Er, don't blame me for turning against you."

Shen Jingye laughed: "People of the underworld have their own bad habits, and decent people have their own rules. Since I have agreed to bet with you today, I have to make you lose convincingly!"

After waiting for half an hour, the light in the testing room gradually disappeared.

The sweaty middle school student heard a question: "Have you ever taken the blending agent?"

"Yes!" Chuuniburi answered uncontrollably.

Shen Jingye looked at Li Qi: "Director Li, he admitted it to my face, what else do you have to say?"

Li Qi said calmly: "Listen to him first."

Shen Jingye emphasized: "As long as Qin Minghui violated the rules and took the blending agent, even if you lose, the number of times will not affect the conclusion."

The question was raised again in the testing room: "When did you take the blend?"

"The eighth of this month."

"Where did you get the concoction?"

“It was issued by the bureau!”

There is nothing wrong with this answer. Li Qi has secured a reward for the security team, which is the reconciliation agent.

Li Banfeng looked at Shen Jingye and said, "You were the one who ordered the distribution of this concoction. It's not against the rules to take the concoction you distributed, right?"

Shen Jingye looked at Zhong Er and smiled slightly, "The truth is about to come out. It can't be hidden even if you want to. Why bother playing tricks and playing around here?"

Another question came: "Besides the blending agent issued by the bureau, when have you ever taken the blending agent?"

Chuuniburi replied, “I haven’t taken it.”

"Repeat that."

"I haven't taken it!"

The detector asked the question several times from different angles, but the answer remained the same.

The tremors in the chair disappeared.

The test is over.

Outside the testing room, a group of directors have already seen the inspection results.

Shen Jingye looked at the middle school student in the testing room in surprise.

Before entering the testing room, a staff member specifically checked that Chuuji was not carrying any dark energy carriers.

With a middle school student's cultivation level, how could he possibly withstand a test of this level without the help of a dark energy carrier?

Li Qi's mouth corners turned up, revealing a hint of a smile.

From this test, he learned two things.

First, the so-called dark power tester is pure bluff.

These instruments have lie-detecting capabilities, and the core of their work should be a magic weapon for moral cultivation, similar to the means used by customs envoys on the border.

Qin Minghui fell into Li Banfeng's foolish cultivation technique and firmly believed that he had not violated any regulations in taking the blending agent. Naturally, the moral cultivation magic weapon was of no use to him.

The second thing is that the Dark Star Bureau knows very little about the Foolish Cultivation Technique or is completely unaware of it. So far, they have not taken any effective preventive or mitigating measures.

Li Banfeng smiled and said, "Director Shen, since Zhong Er did not violate the rules by taking the blending agent, he should be given due compensation."

Shen Jingye pondered for a moment and said, "This matter still needs further research. Dark ability testing is a very complicated process. We have only carried out the first step today..."

Li Banfeng picked up the contract and said, "Xiao Shen, you may not understand the concept of a contract, nor the consequences of violating it."

Shen Jingye had a certain degree of understanding of Prozhou. He knew that Prozhou attached great importance to the contract and violating the contract would result in crazy revenge.

He also knew that there was a special material in Provence called deed paper, which could punish defaulters by itself.

Shen Jingye was very regretful. He really couldn't understand why he signed the contract with Li Qi on impulse. Doing such a thing was not in line with his status.

Now that the deed has been signed and the results are out, what should we do?

Shen Jingye remembered the rules of getting along with Li Qi: don't provoke Li Qi unless it is something unimportant.

Is this matter insignificant?
In fact, he could be treated flexibly. Qin Minghui was an insignificant person. If he had not been caught by others, Shen Jingye would have no need to deal with him.

As for the matter of the blending agent, it was not difficult for Shen Jingye. The only thing he needed to pay attention to was that he had to have a reasonable reason for issuing it.

Losing a bet is obviously not an appropriate reason. You need to spend time thinking of an appropriate reason.

"I keep my word and I will accept the consequences if I lose the bet." Shen Jingye agreed to fulfill his promise and left the testing room.

……

Zhong Er ran to Li Qi's office and said excitedly: "Director Li, I, I, I don't know how to express my gratitude to you, I..."

"I suggest you express your opinion through practical actions," Li Qi brought a data bag. "There are still many doubts about the Ruirong Textile Factory case. You can review these actions and ask Dengbao and Tangyuan about the details."

Qin Minghui took the information bag, and Li Qi brought two more information boxes: "This is the information of the artist Chu Zikai. I now suspect that he is a high-level dark energy user and is involved in black market transactions. Can you find some clues from these materials?
In addition, I need to investigate some things about Puro State. The Dark Star Bureau has a lot of information about Puro State, but it is too much and too complicated for me to check it all. I will leave this matter to you. Please help me pay attention to an organization called Xuehuapu."

Zhong Er took the information and started working excitedly, and before he knew it, it was late at night.

Datou was on duty tonight. Seeing that Zhong Er hadn't left, he asked with concern, "It's so late, why don't you go back and rest?"

Zhong Er has been following Datou since he entered the industry. He quickly stood up and chatted with Datou for a few words.

Datou glanced at the documents on the table and said with a smile: "It's impossible to finish the work in one day. We can't work so hard. It's almost time to go home."

Chuuji was indeed tired, so he locked up the documents and left the office.

Datou returned to the duty room, took out a facial mask, put it on his face, then took two slices of cucumber to cover his eyes and started doing skin care.

Fifteen minutes later, Big Head peeled off the cucumber slices.

The mask quickly spread across the face, first covering the hair, then the entire head, and then the entire body.

Datou kept adjusting his breathing to keep his body relaxed.

The mask kept tightening, and the originally strong big head became noticeably thinner, the head became noticeably smaller, the hair volume decreased, the hairline rose, and the facial features were slowly reshaped.

Five minutes later, Big Head stood up from his chair and walked out of the duty room.

He reached the elevator door and saw Candied Fruit, who was about to go home.

When Mijian saw Datou, he quickly greeted him, "Director, you haven't replied yet?"

Big Head turned into the appearance of Shen Jingye.

He nodded at the candied fruit, smiling, but said nothing.

In the elevator, Mijian was nervous and embarrassed: "Director, are you going home? I'll drive you."

Shen Jingye shook his head and pressed the button for the first floor: "You go back first, I'll go out for some fresh air."

After getting out of the elevator, Datou walked around the lobby, went back to the elevator, got on it, and went to the eleventh floor. He got out of the elevator, entered the stairwell, and went up to the twelfth floor.

The twelfth floor is the data room. You can take the elevator to the twelfth floor to enter the data room, where you can find normal information.

But if you take the stairs to the twelfth floor, you can enter another data room. The information in this data room is very special.

Outside the stairwell is an iron door with no keyhole and no device for entering fingerprints or passwords. Only two small lights are on.

These two small lights are not used for illumination, but for scanning the retina.

Big Head walked closer to the iron gate, his eyes fixed on the small lamp.

The host device in the door automatically registered a line of information: "Shen Jingye, entry is allowed."

It was the first time that Datou entered this data room. He didn’t know the correct way to find information, so he could only scan each shelf one by one.

The information room was sprayed with a special medicine, which had a pungent smell and made Big Head want to cough.

Don't cough, even if you use a little force, you may break the mask on your body.

This layer of mask can last for two hours. Datou has to find the information he wants within two hours, and he also has to hope that the on-duty phone doesn't ring.

He was lucky and an hour later, he found a data box.

Medical repairman, Kang Zhenchang’s information.

If there is a medical practitioner who can save He Jiaqing, this person may be the only hope at the moment.

……

The next day, Big Head with black eyes left the duty room. According to regulations, he had two days of rest.

When they reached the entrance of the building, Datou happened to meet Li Qi, and the two greeted each other.

As they passed by each other, Li Banfeng smelled something, a very faint, yet pungent smell.

He used his Hundred Flavors Skill to confirm that the smell was indeed coming from Big Head.

Not only Li Banfeng smelled the scent, but the gloves in his pocket also smelled it.

"Boss, I think I've smelled that smell somewhere before."

PS: This is the third time Datou saved He Jiaqing.

Thanks to the alliance leaders Ken and Huang, thank you for your strong support for Sala and this work.
