No taboos

Chapter 180: The Artifact Makes Trouble (Please give me a monthly ticket!)
Shi Ba Ding and Sang Yi Zi have transferred several old subordinates in the past few days.

It is not difficult for the Department of Elimination of Filth to recruit people.

With a few more months, I would be able to gather at least two teams.

Wan Yun was doing the same, but he just acted unhappy.

Xie Qingman is now in a very passive position in the office, and he is ignored by the inspectors, so he has to show his attitude no matter what.

Even if this didn't happen, he would take the initiative to create some friction with Xu Yuan on other things.

There is not much meaning in defeating Shi Ba Ding and Sang Yi Zi. Now only by defeating Xu Yuan can we give Xie Qingman strong support.

The inspectors came to congratulate him, but Xu Yuan did not accept the gifts. Instead, he invited everyone to have lunch at "Wuweilou" on Guanglan Street.

When it comes to winning people's hearts, Lord Xu is never stingy.

The delicious dishes that Wuweilou was known for came out in a continuous stream, and just one meal cost Lord Xu a full twelve taels of silver.

The dishes tasted good, but Xu Yuan still felt they were not as good as those made by his stepmother.

I didn't dare drink too much wine. When I was almost drunk, Xu Yuan stopped me from going to work: "I have to go on duty in the afternoon. I can't let you get delayed."

After the lively dinner, the inspectors felt relieved that Lord Xu did not leave them out.

But now the other three inspectors are short of staff, and it is not easy for Lord Xu to just take everyone in.

Qin Ze and Mao Dabin are two big mouths.

After returning from Qingyu Township, he boasted to his colleagues about how he had followed Lord Xu and experienced life and death, and how Lord Xu had led by example.

After hearing this, the other inspectors understood: This is such a good superior that you can’t even find him even with a human skin lantern!
Then I don’t want to follow other inspectors even more.

Coming out of Wuwei Tower, Xu Yuan was about to walk back to the South City Patrol Office when Lang Xiaoba suddenly chuckled, "Sir, do you want to go and see what's going on?"

"What's the excitement?"

"You come with me."

Lang Xiaoba led everyone and walked along Guanglan Street.

The first place to arrive was the Pingtian Society’s hall, which was still sealed.

But this is not the excitement that Lang Xiaoba was talking about.

Continue forward to the "Huodejishitang".

The door was closed tightly.

Xu Yuan was surprised: "Business was very good last time I came here."

"I don't know how Sanniang got into trouble." Lang Xiaoba gloated, "Their measuring scales and ailment cabinets refuse to work, hehehe!"

Lang Xiaoba still holds a grudge.

Sanniang would embarrass him in front of the inspector.

"You don't want to go to work?" Xu Yuan was puzzled.

Lang Xiaoba shook his head. "They know a lot of tricks, I can't really explain them all. Anyway, it seems that since our last visit, these two craftsmen have stopped treating patients and selling medicine.

Although the Sanniang Society has many elixirs and medicines, they cannot diagnose diseases.

In the past, we relied on the general medicine cabinet to prescribe the right medicine for each disease.

Now the two craftsmen are refusing to work. They have tried everything but still haven’t been able to fix them. They have been closed for over ten days.”

If there really was something wrong with the craftsmanship, Xu Yuan guessed that his stepmother could fix it.

After thinking for a while, Xu Yuan said, "Go and talk to the people from the Sanniang Society. I have a solution."

Lang Xiaoba didn't doubt Xu Yuan's words, but he said reluctantly: "They don't even give you face, why should you help them?"

Xu Yuan glared: "Just go if I tell you to!"

Lang Xiaoba understood: "Oh...Okay, I'll go right away."

He walked up and knocked on the door, bang bang bang!

Xu Yuan shook his head helplessly: This guy, you can contact him privately!

Just knock on the door and go in, and say, hey, is your craftsmanship broken? Our boss can fix it - what's the difference between that and challenging someone?
"We're closed today." A lazy voice came from inside. Only one shop assistant was left guarding the entire lobby.

The shop assistant was dozing off on the table.

In fact, everyone at Sanniang's place has had nothing to do these days, and they haven't lacked sleep.

But when I’m bored, I feel sleepy.

He looked up and saw Lang Xiaoba outside the door. He quickly stood up and opened the door: "Mr. Lang, it's you, please come in..."

It was the same guy who received them last time.

Lang Xiaoba stepped aside and asked Sir Xu to come in first.

Standing outside the door, Xu Yuan saw the disease cabinet and the measuring scale in the main hall.

These two pieces of crafts are not "refusing to work", they are rebelling!
Half of the scale bar of the centroid scale was poking into the ground, and the scale pan was like a hidden weapon, slanting and inserted into the wall on the left.

The all-disease cabinet was laid flat, all the small drawers were opened, and various medicines and pills were scattered all over the floor.

It looks a bit like... a naughty kid playing tricks on the ground. He won’t get up unless you buy me that dough figurine!
The shop assistant smiled awkwardly and said, "Please bear with me, gentlemen. Please be careful not to step on the medicinal pills."

They didn't dare put the pills away because the ailment cabinet forbade it.

The situation of the Sanniang Society's Champa branch is indeed even more miserable than Lang Xiaoba described.

A few days after Xu Yuan left last time, these two artifacts became even more noisy.

People go up and down the hall, either getting bruised on the head by the weighing rod or being directly locked into a small drawer by the all-disease cabinet. It is dark and silent inside, and it doesn't take long for people to collapse.

The fire master himself was hit on the face by the scale rod, leaving a red mark, which was swollen to the thickness of two fingers.

Anyone passing by could see the situation in the lobby through the crack in the door.

Huode Jishiditang has almost lost its reputation.

Even if we move these two artifacts, it is too late because everyone has already seen them.

The fire master has tried every possible method and is now in despair.

The entire Sanniang Society has accepted the reality: ever since the disappearance of the founder, the Sanhuo Laomu Society has barely survived for so many years relying on these three sets of crafts.

No one was able to maintain these three sets of crafts, and they eventually became "damaged".

This set is probably just the beginning, and the other two sets probably won’t last long.

The Three Fires Old Mu will... his luck is about to end.

Xu Yuan stepped over the threshold of the main hall, and the scale was suddenly pulled out from the ground with a whoosh.

The scale plate embedded in the wall fell off and flew back.

The small bamboo cage that served as the weight also rose from the ground and returned to the scale beam.

The disease cabinet is a little slower.

It automatically stands up and stands against the wall in its original position.

Then, whirlwinds arose from the ground, picking up the medicinal pills on the ground, and they fell back into the small drawers in different categories.

Boom boom boom...

Close the small drawer securely.

The two pieces of craftsmanship are serious, showing that we have always been conscientious and diligent.

We have been following the instructions given by the Three Fire Goddesses before she left.

From the moment the scale changed, the shop assistant's mouth opened in surprise.

His chin dropped a little bit.

When the two artifacts returned to normal, the shop assistant suddenly came back to his senses, no longer caring about anything, and rushed to the backyard like a madman.

He ran, waving his arms wildly above his head, shouting, "The work is done! The work is done!

Fire Master!
The craftsmanship is ready, we are saved!"

Except for Xu Yuan, everyone else in the Cleansing Bureau looked bewildered.

what happened?
We came here by chance?
Xu Yuan's heart moved. Since the last time he came here, these two artifacts started to cause trouble.

This time when I came, they went to work obediently.

Xu Yuan looked at the two artifacts with suspicion, and asked in his heart, "Did you... recognize me?"

The two artifacts could not answer.

Soon, a chaotic and hurried sound of footsteps came from the back hall.

A group of people from the Sanniang Society rushed out, led by the Great Fire Master and the female fire master Wei Yunhua.
