Rebirth of the Totem Pole, I became a taboo

Chapter 227: She Wannian's Death, Xia Wanrong's Methods
She Wannian was a little restless at this time. He originally thought that he would go directly to the imperial city and meet the chief commander this time.

Who knew that Daxia was actually at war, and even dispatched the chief of the Evil Suppression Division.

This gave him a bad feeling.

During this special period, will Daxia still put the destruction of the world and evil spirits as its top priority?

If the matter of Wanxiang is to be put on hold, what will he, the head of the She family who knows the inside story, do?

Being placed under house arrest, or... being sent to fight on the battlefield?
She Wannian was not clear about the current battle situation, so he could only think of the worst.

Just after She Wannian had waited in the hall for a full hour, footsteps were heard in the hall.

Looking up, he saw Xia Wanrong, the chief of the Evil Suppression Bureau, and Xiang Dongfeng and others following behind her.

Not daring to look closely, She Wannian bowed.

"She Wannian of the She family, greetings to the chief commander."

"Ah."

Xia Wanrong nodded lightly, walked past She Wannian, and sat in the middle seat.

"Everyone, take a seat."

"Thank you, Chief Secretary."

Only then did She Wannian dare to raise his head and look at the person following behind Xia Wanrong.

At this time, in addition to Xia Wanrong and Xiang Dongfeng, there was another person at the scene, and judging from his attire, he was also a Sizhu.

Could it be the chief of the evil department of Wucheng Town?

What She Wannian didn't know was that the chief of the Evil Division in Wucheng Town was already dead, and the person sitting there at this moment was named Xia Wenying.

Among the ten chiefs of the Evil Suppression Bureau, he ranks third.

Originally, he was to be sent to Shecheng after returning from the Blood Road to thoroughly investigate and resolve the issues of the White Ape and Wanxiang, but who knew that there was a sudden disturbance in Dashan.

All the powerful figures of Da Xia were still on the Blood Road, so they could only send Xia Wenying and the people from the Demon Slaying Division to help Xia Wanrong deal with the things here.

When he learned that it was She Wannian who came this time, he came to take a look.

"She Wannian, why don't you tell me what you want to report?"

Xiang Dongfeng had no intention of introducing She Wannian. Seeing that She Wannian still wanted to sit down, he shouted directly.

When She Wannian heard this, he turned around and faced Xia Wanrong.

"My Lord, I came here this time to report the evil spirit that destroyed the world that my Great Xia State Master predicted."

"After several months of investigation by my She family, we are now 80% sure that Wanxiang of Wanxiang Village is the evil demon that destroys the world!"

When She Wannian said this, he didn't expect that Xia Wanrong and the others didn't make much movement, and he was shocked.

Could it be that we really have to leave the issues in Vientiane alone?

She Wannian was also anxious and confused. It was really that the Evil Suppression Bureau had received too many reports of world-destroying evil spirits in recent years. But after all, they were evil spirits that could destroy the world, so how could they be found so easily?

If the She family had not been the first of the 18 major clans to proactively report information about the world-destroying evil, why would Xia Wanrong, who had just had a fight with the Great Business War Department, come to see him?
"Tell me."

Before Xia Wanrong could speak, Xia Wenying took over the conversation.

At this time, She Wannian didn't care about Xia Wenying's identity. Seeing that someone was about to continue asking, he immediately revealed everything he knew about Wanxiang.

Among them are the deaths of She Wushu and She Wenge, the battle between She Wenwu and Wanxiang, and the relationship between the white ape and Wanxiang obtained from Xiang Dongfeng.

And he compared the two divination prophecies with all things.

"Carrying the obsession of thousands of lives."

Corresponding to all things is the situation where He controls countless living beings with clay sculptures.

"Snakes and rats live in the same den, chickens and dogs sleep together, tigers, leopards, jackals and wolves hunt together, demons and monsters dance together!"

Corresponding to Wanxiang's power of bewitching and changing, plus the appearance of the white ape and the dragon, it further proves that Wanxiang can fulfill the abnormal situations in the prophecy!
After She Wannian finished speaking, the expressions of everyone at the scene, including Xia Wanrong, changed.

Xiang Dongfeng's face changed drastically. He didn't expect that what She Wannian said was actually 80% credible.

Unlike Xiang Dongfeng, Xia Wanrong was also very surprised at this time.

Although there have been battles on the border these days, the news about various parties obtained by the Evil Suppression Bureau continues to arrive.

Among them is the army of clay figures that affects more and more traveling caravans.

Although Xia Wanrong had wondered before whether those clay figures were made by the world-destroying evil spirits, she had no other evidence, and the fact that the clay figures attacked the caravan entering the Shiwan Mountains was not tenable.

Moreover, the latest news came that those clay figures did not come towards Daxia, but instead left after attacking many villages. It is unknown where their target is.

But at this time, listening to She Wannian's words, Xia Wanrong finally found the origins of those clay figures and filled in most of the unknown information.

In this way, what She Wannian said is more credible.

"What about the witness you mentioned?"

Xia Wanrong suddenly spoke.

"Replying to the Chief, I have said before that my She family has fought against Wanxiang twice. In fact, both times, someone came back alive."

"And one of them is the great elder of my She family, She Wenwu!"

Seeing everyone's confusion, She Wannian continued, "When She Wenwu came back, the first thing he did was to ask me to use the family's clan tool to check his body. At that time, I thought he was injured or poisoned. After all, he was the eldest elder of the She family, so I used the clan tool."

"Then, I saw the difference inside She Wenwu's body, in the heart."

"She Wenwu's heart is no longer a human heart."

Xiang Dongfeng was shocked when these words were spoken.

"No, when the white ape came to Shecheng a few days ago, your great elder took action, and many people saw it."

She Wannian looked at Xiang Dongfeng and nodded.

"Yes, that's what I was going to say."

"That Wanxiang has a special way of controlling people. She Wenwu and She Shiquan were all controlled by Wanxiang, but it didn't seem to tamper with their consciousness, nor did it ban She Wenwu's combat power. That's why She Wenwu has been active in the She family as a normal person."

"The witnesses I'm talking about are She Wenwu and She Shiquan. As long as we can find something wrong with their bodies, we'll know that everything I said is true."

"We can even use them to lead us to find the location of Wanxiang and destroy it!"

When She Wannian said this, there was no fluctuation on his face, as if he was not talking about the great elder of the She family.

After She Wannian finished speaking, the hall fell into silence for a moment.

After a while, Xia Wanrong asked again: "Is there anything else you haven't said about Vientiane?"

She Wannian thought about it and then shook his head.

"Replying to the Chief, no more."

Xia Wanrong nodded, and then asked, "I have a question."

"Master General, please ask."

She Wannian was already thinking about whether he could ask for more rewards later. "This happened several months ago?"

"Correct!"

"Then why report it now?"

As soon as Xia Wanrong said this, She Wannian was stunned.

Why report it now?

Is that even a question?
Isn't this what all big families do?
Whoever discovers a situation should first try to see if they can solve it themselves, right?

If you can solve it, that would be the best, and you will get more rewards!

But now, She Wannian looked into Xia Wanrong's eyes and didn't know what to say for a moment.

That's what happened, but how can I say it out loud?
Just when She Wannian was thinking about how to answer, Xia Wanrong spoke again.

"Because you knew about it but didn't report it, the Suppressing Evil Division lost a chief, a Blood Order, five Gold Orders, and several Suppressing Evil Guards."

"Because you knew about it but didn't report it, the white ape from Wanxiang Village, the demon king level, attacked Shecheng, destroyed the demon slaying and evil suppression departments, and injured thousands of Daxia people."

"Because you knew about it but didn't report it, the Evil Suppression Division made a wrong judgment and didn't promptly eliminate the clay figures in Wanxiang Village outside the Shiwan Mountains. Now their number has reached 800,000."

"She Wannian, I'll give you one more chance to say something."

As soon as Xia Wanrong said this, the temperature in the entire hall dropped.

When Xia Wenying, who was standing by, saw Xia Wanrong like this, he immediately looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.

Xiang Dongfeng was also frightened by Xia Wanrong's series of accusations. He lowered his head and dared not speak, for fear that Xia Wanrong would blame him, the head of the evil department of Shecheng Town, for Hong Tianyi's death.

She Wannian, who was facing the pressure from Xia Wanrong, was dumbfounded at this time.

He came to receive a reward, not a punishment.

Why did we reach the punishment stage before the bounty stage?

Even if the She family knew about it but didn't report it, it wouldn't mean that everything would be blamed on them, right?

Besides, even if there is a mistake, there should be clear rewards and punishments, right?
Why did Xia Wanrong only talk about punishment and not reward?

With deep doubt, She Wannian blushed and shouted: "I don't accept it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, She Wannian was about to defend himself.

But he forgot what Xia Wanrong had just said.

A chance for a word.

So, when She Wannian wanted to say the second sentence, he found that his body became stiff.

No, not only his body, but even his mind became rigid.

The sound of creaking could be heard in the hall.

The head of the She family, who was at the peak of the supernatural power realm and one step away from the all-powerful realm, turned into an ice sculpture in the hall.

A gust of wind suddenly blew through the hall, blowing the ice sculpture into powder and sending it flying out of the hall.

After a long time, a sound was heard in the hall.

"Sister Rong...Chief Secretary, She Wannian is dead. What happened to the She family after that?"

Xia Wanrong glanced at Xia Wenying, causing him to change the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"The She family has made great contributions in reporting the destruction of the evil spirits. Xia Wenying, when you and Xiang Dongfeng return, take the reward to the She family and give it to the most powerful person in the She family."

"Then restrain She Wenwu and She Shiquan and keep them on standby."

After Xia Wanrong finished speaking, Xiang Dongfeng stood up and bowed in agreement.

At this time, Xiang Dongfeng's back was already wet.

She Wannian, who was of the same strength as him, died in front of him. His death was silent and unreasonable.

It is obvious that the merits and demerits can be offset, but the chief director Xia Wanrong insisted on punishing first and then rewarding.

How could he not be afraid?

Maybe the chief commander dislikes him and punishes him first and rewards him later. Wouldn't he lose half his life then?

Just when Xiang Dongfeng was feeling nervous, Xia Wenying on the side objected.

"No, the Shang Dynasty hasn't stopped their harassment. If I leave, I'm afraid they will steal one or two cities again!"

"Chief Commander, please send someone else, or call back a few more people on the bloody road!"

As Xia Wenying said this, he suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up.

"Yeah, aren't the two guys from the Bai family there too? Let them go!"

"And the Hong family. Two of their 'Benevolence, Righteousness, Courtesy, Wisdom and Trustworthiness' died? Don't you want revenge? Hong Tianren happens to be here too, let him go!"

Xia Wenying became more and more excited as he spoke, until he turned his head and saw Xia Wanrong's eyes.

After staring at each other for only three seconds, Xia Wenying immediately stood up and bowed.

"Xia Wenying obeys the order!"

After saying that, Xia Wenying took Xiang Dongfeng away.

Only after the two men left did Xia Wanrong reveal a smile.

In front of her, only her half-brother Xia Wenying dared to speak carelessly. All the other brothers and sisters were respectful to her when they saw her.

"We have to deal with Dashang first before we can start working on Wanxiang's matter."

Thinking so, Xia Wanrong quickly left the hall and returned to her room.

He took out a wooden plate from the token at his waist and placed it on the table, then picked up a pen and wrote a few words.

"Da Shang's attacks must be stopped for a month. Trade with Da Yan for Fire Crystals to divert Da Shang's attention on the other side."

After writing, Xia Wanrong folded the paper, put it into an envelope, and placed it on a wooden tray.

After inputting spiritual power, the wooden disk lights up and the envelope disappears.

Half an hour later, the wooden tray lit up again and a new envelope appeared.

"Yes, we have sent someone to contact Dayan, and we will get the news within one day at the latest."

After reading the envelope, the letter paper in Xia Wanrong's hand turned into ice chips and fell to the ground.

The fallen ice chips turned into mist and dissipated in the air before they even touched the table.

On the other side, Xiang Dongfeng and Xia Wenying had already arrived in Shecheng and went straight to the She family.
