Chapter 402: Prosperous Official Fortune

"Master Bai."

Tang Baichuan trotted into the hall with a smile on his face, his joy evident on his face.

Bai Yuan glanced at Tang Baichuan's appearance and asked, "Does Lord Tang have any news?"

"Master Bai is indeed very smart. I have indeed found out the identity of the thief."

Tang Baichuan came to Bai Yuan and said, "Master Bai, this man is the notorious sand buryer in the Western Desert, similar to a ghostwriter, and his name is Jiumoshi."

"Sand buryer?"

Bai Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

He now has countless times more channels for obtaining information than before, and he has a general understanding of the situation in the Western Desert. The Sand Burying Man is a notorious existence in the Western Desert, even more despised by the world than Xuanyang's Knife Chaser.

Not only will those guys do what they are paid, but their methods are also extremely brutal and they often take pleasure in killing.

So it was a murder for hire?
He probably had guessed who the money provider was.

Even in Xuanyang, there are not many people who can ask a strong man like Jiumoshi to take action, and the most likely one in the north is of course the Tianxuan Sect.

It seems that his master's visit to Tianxuan Sect was not as calm as it seemed.

Otherwise, Linghu Yang would not have been so impatient that he would rather hire someone to kill him.

"Master Bai, what should we do next?"

Tang Baichuan asked carefully.

This matter concerns a Grandmaster Mingxin. Even if he is the Grandmaster of Ximo, it is not a decision he can make easily.

Bai Yuan: "Leave it to the Ministry of Justice, and we'll do whatever needs to be done."

"Yes."

Tang Baichuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

If he could get rid of this hot potato, Jiumoshi, his pressure would be greatly reduced.

Ten days later.

People from the Ministry of Justice rushed from the capital to Binzhou. Given the inconvenience of traveling by horse and carriage in ancient times, this efficiency was already surprisingly high.

"Master Bai."

A middle-aged man with a dignified demeanor politely bowed to Bai Yuan.

"Minister Zhou."

Bai Yuan was not arrogant and returned the greeting.

This time, the Ministry of Justice directly sent a minister to escort Jiumoshi's body, which shows how important it was.

Minister Zhou of the Ministry of Justice: "Sir Bai, may I examine the body first to confirm its identity?"

"nature."

Under the leadership of Tang Baichuan, Bai Yuan and a group of people from the Ministry of Justice came to an ice storage on the grounds of the provincial police station, which was a place specially used to store corpses.

No matter how high your martial arts skills were when you were alive, it would be the same after you die. Things like not decaying for ten thousand years were just legends. Things would stink anyway, so the police station found a place similar to a morgue.

I saw Jiumoshi's body lying in the most conspicuous place in the center of the ice storage.

Minister Zhou and the coroner from the Ministry of Justice carefully examined the case for a long time before standing up.

Minister Zhou looked at Bai Yuan in disbelief.

He has confirmed that the corpse is that of Jiumoshi, the sand-burying man in the Western Desert.

Jiumoshi not only ran rampant in the Western Desert, but also sneaked into Xuanyang many times to kill martial arts masters and even court officials. He has long been a frequent visitor on the Ministry of Justice's wanted list.

Therefore, Minister Zhou was very familiar with the information about the Jiumo Stone.

That’s Grand Master Mingxin!

Minister Zhou couldn't help but sigh.

When he first saw Bai Yuan at the court meeting, he was still a third-rank official like himself. When he left the capital, he was promoted to the second rank because of his meritorious service and the emperor's needs.

But how long has it been since we last met?

He was actually able to kill Grandmaster Mingxin! !
As long as he returned to the capital and reported the matter, given that Bai Yuan was deeply favored by the emperor, it would be a sure thing that he would be promoted to the second rank.

ghost ghost.

This is probably the youngest second-grade person in the entire Xuanyang.

While others are still competing for the position of assistant minister, Bai Yuan has already become a minister. Don’t you think you’re angry?
Minister Zhou calmed down and took a deep breath: "Master Bai, this person is indeed Jiumoshi."

Bai Yuan: "That's good. It would be most appropriate for the Ministry of Justice to handle the rest of the matter."

"As it should be."

Minister Zhou was delighted. As long as he could send Jiumoshi's body back to the capital, he would have achieved a great feat for free.

"Don't worry, Lord Bai. I will report this to His Majesty."

"Thank you, Minister Zhou."

The people from the Ministry of Justice did not stay in Binzhou for long. They escorted Jiumoshi's body out of the city on a special ice cart that day.

Bai Yuan had offended many people in the Ministry of Justice before, but Minister Zhou was not among them.

However, he was not worried that the Ministry of Justice would do anything about this matter.

He had already been appointed as the Right Censor-in-Chief, and in the eyes of outsiders had become the emperor's confidant, so naturally he had ways to convey messages to the emperor in private.

That is Eunuch Chang from the Imperial Household Department.

With the eunuch around, he would be able to hear the news as soon as there was any movement.

This is why eunuchs in the palace cannot be offended.

Capital City, Imperial Palace, Hall of Supreme Harmony.

A hearty laugh rang out in the hall. Such a voice could only come from Emperor Li Chengyuan in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"well!"

Emperor Li Chengyuan said two good words in a row.

The Ministry of Justice has brought Jiumoshi's body into the main hall.

Naturally, he had heard of the name of this Western Desert master, and he had even personally ordered his capture, but this man escaped. When he returned to the Western Desert, even the imperial court was helpless.

Although those Western Desert countries are weak individually, once Xuanyang dares to launch a large-scale attack, their combined strength should not be underestimated.

At this time, the old minister of the Ministry of Justice stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this thief sneaked into our court and wanted to harm the court officials. Although he was killed due to the strength of Bai Yushi, his crime is unforgivable. I hope Your Majesty will allow the real culprit to be found. If it was done by the Western Desert Kingdom, it may shake the fate of the country."

Li Chengyuan waved his hand and said, "Okay!"

Some experienced ministers have already sensed something strange.

Many people know about the Jiumo Stone, and they all know very well what the Sand Buried Man is.

Emperor Li Chengyuan and the Minister of Justice sang the same tune. They did not intend to hold those countries in the Western Desert accountable. Instead, they wanted to take the opportunity to settle accounts with a certain underworld gang leader.

Those who dare to assassinate Bai Yuan at this critical juncture are most likely the big gangs.

Soon, another minister came out.

This person was none other than the Minister of Personnel Guo Yingru: "Your Majesty, I am the Right Censor-in-Chief Bai Yuan. Lord Bai has killed a powerful enemy this time and enhanced our country's prestige. This is a great achievement and he should be rewarded."

The court officials had different expressions.

But without exception, there was a flash of shock in all of them.

They didn't expect that Censor Bai would break through the Mingxin Pass and become a grandmaster just one year after leaving the capital.

Promotion will come naturally.

Li Chengyuan raised his lips slightly and looked at the old minister of the Ministry of Personnel beside him: "Minister Kong, what do you think we should do?"

The promotion of officials must be requested by the Ministry of Personnel. This is the procedure. As for the final decision, it is of course in the hands of Li Chengyuan.

Minister Kong walked slowly to the center of the hall and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is appropriate to promote Censor Bai to the second rank."

Li Chengyuan nodded.

Bai Yuan was originally the Right Censor-in-Chief, and should have been a second-rank official. He was demoted half a grade because he had not yet achieved a breakthrough in his mind. Now is the right time to promote him to the first rank.

"That's right."

Li Chengyuan laughed.

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

All the court officials knelt down to celebrate, and Bai Yuan's official position was thus confirmed.

"Second rank?"

Bai Yuan looked at the documents coming from the capital and did not expect the court to act so quickly.

Now he has become a real Right Censor-in-Chief.

The invisible luck also increased a lot, and the luck bestowed on him has reached a terrifying level. Except for those old ministers with deep experience, most second-rank officials cannot surpass him, although there are very few second-rank officials.

Every second-rank official is someone who can influence the whole country.

"Congratulations, Master Bai."

Tang Baichuan rushed over to congratulate as soon as he heard the news.

But as soon as he entered the door, he saw Bai Yuan and Yue Xiaobai about to go out. Seeing that both of them were carrying bags and the servants in the mansion had disappeared, he had some guesses in his mind.

This Lord Bai is really leaving.

"Master Bai, are you going to leave Binzhou?"

Tang Baichuan asked with a smile on his face.

Bai Yuan: "Since Lord Tang is here, I don't need to go to the state government office again. I will leave for Lingzhou today."

Hearing the word Lingzhou, Tang Baichuan's heart was shocked.

Lingzhou is where the Tianxuan Sect is located.

The imperial court finally decided to take action against the Tianxuan faction.

Tang Baichuan originally wanted to send cavalry to escort him. It was called an escort, but in fact it was just to earn the last bit of favor, but was rejected by Bai Yuan.

In the end, they had no choice but to send him to the gate of Binzhou city and then go back.

Bai Yuan and Yue Xiaobai took the official road.

Yue Xiaobai suddenly said: "Brother Bai, I can't accompany you on the rest of the journey, please take care."

Bai Yuan sighed softly.

Xiaobai is leaving as expected.

However, this was also within his expectations. The imperial court had to deal with not only the Tianxuan Sect, but the entire martial arts world, and the Xiyue Sect was a part of it.

Yue Xiaobai's stay in Binzhou during this period has caused too much criticism. If he were to go to Tianxuan Sect with him, even Xiyue Sect would find it difficult to cope.

"I'll go to Xiyue to find you some other day."

Yue Xiaobai: "That's not necessary."

"."

Yue Xiaobai came and went as he pleased, and disappeared at the end of the official road with his sword.

Now Bai Yuan was the only one left.

The path he was going to take also destined him to be alone.

Tianxuan Sect.

In the secret room.

There are only two people here, one is the leader Linghu Yang, and the other is the deputy leader Xia Han.

"Master, what should we do next?"

Xia Han felt a little uneasy.

He had already cursed Jiumoshi at least ten thousand times in his heart. It would have been fine if he hadn't been able to kill Bai Yuan, but he was actually killed in return, and his body was even left behind. He was simply a waste!
He is now very panicked.

Although the Xuanyang court did not take any action on the surface, there was no doubt that it was secretly investigating who the person who hired the murderer was.

Once those people from the Ministry of Justice find any clues, the Tianxuan Sect will be in danger.

And Bai Yuan has already left Binzhou City.

The spies from the Tianxuan Sect who had been following Bai Yuan had no chance of keeping up with him, so they were all thrown off long ago. Now the Tianxuan Sect has no idea where Bai Yuan is.

The most likely possibility, of course, is that he has already arrived in Lingzhou.

In the past, even if Bai Yuan came to Lingzhou, the Tianxuan Sect would not be afraid at all and he would not cause much trouble.

But now the strength displayed by Bai Yuan is so strong that it is terrifying.

Killing Jiumoshi is something that even Linghu Yang, who has such fighting power, would not dare to do easily.

Bai Yuan's growth is so fast that even the Tianxuan Sect is afraid, so they will never sit and wait for death.

Linghu Yang lowered his eyelids, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Xia Han couldn't help but be anxious: "Master?"

Of course he was anxious. He was the only one who contacted Jiumoshi. The imperial court would trace it back to him sooner or later. By then, Linghu Yang would most likely throw him out to get rid of the suspicion of Tianxuan Sect.

Linghu Yang finally spoke up: "What are you panicking about?!"

"."

Xia Han was speechless, but he became even more anxious.

The reason why big people can remain calm in the face of adversity is that their strength is enough to deal with most situations, but once they are in crisis, they are actually not much different from ordinary people.

Just like Xia Han at this moment.

Linghu Yang: "Let's continue to send spies to check. I have already written a letter to Sect Master Song."

Hearing the three words "Master Song", Xia Han finally showed joy on his face.

This Sect Master Song was none other than the Sect Master of Zhengyang Sect, Song Fang.

Grandmaster of Tongshenguan!

As the number one sect in the north, the Tianxuan sect also had a great master in charge hundreds of years ago. However, since the death of the previous leader, the Tianxuan sect has not had a great master in hundreds of years, and its strength is at its weakest.

However, the Tianxuan Sect has stood in the world for thousands of years, and its influence in the martial arts world is even more complex.

The major sects in the world have been secretly joining forces to resist the imperial court, and it was the Zhengyang Sect that allied with the Tianxuan Sect.

If the Zhengyang Sect stepped in, the matter might be settled quickly.

Xia Han: “Yes!”

He immediately turned around and left.

In a forest.

Bai Yuan was standing in the jungle with a corpse lying at his feet and a letter in his hand.

"Zhengyangmen?"

A hint of amusement appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The Tianxuan Sect is indeed related to the Zhengyang Sect.

Yes, after leaving Binzhou, he went straight to Lingzhou, but he did not go directly to Tianxuan Sect, but was intercepted on the official road.

If anyone dares to kill the messenger from the Tianxuan Sect, they will be hunted down and killed.

But he didn't have such concerns.

Kill him if you want. Do you think the Tianxuan Sect dares to cause trouble for the imperial court at this time?
The reason why he appeared here was that he expected that the Tianxuan Sect would definitely seek external assistance, but he didn't expect that it was the Zhengyang Sect.

"interesting."

Bai Yuan smiled slightly, and he shot a bullet into the air at the corpse on the ground, and the corpse was turned into a pool of blood by the Manggu Zhuha skill.

No one could see any clues.

After doing all this, he disappeared into the mountains and forests again.

Right Censor-in-Chief Bai Yuan finally appeared in Lingzhou.

It all happened too suddenly.

It was not until Bai Yuan appeared in the Lingzhou government office that the world discovered the whereabouts of this god of death.

This also includes the Tianxuan School.

in the hall.

Linghu Yang's face was extremely gloomy.

"Have you found the disciple who delivered the letter?"

Xia Han's eyes were grim: "Not yet."

The disciple who delivered the letter had been out for ten days. Logically, he should have brought back the news from Zhengyang Sect long ago. However, Bai Yuan was already sitting in the provincial government office, and no one from Zhengyang Sect had shown up yet. This made the Tianxuan Sect feel a little uneasy.

Linghu Yang took a deep breath.

"Master Xia, please go there in person."

"Yes!"

Xia Han also looked helpless, but he had to go.

The disciple who delivered the letter previously had most likely met with an accident, and the Tianxuan Sect could not afford to make any more mistakes.

Dangerous!
