Anti-fraud manual for the cultivation world

Li Gu and Zhang Yi didn't want to go to Hongya Gate; the risks were too great, and they really wanted to run away.

But this operation was different from usual. A colleague was seriously injured, and even Cai Xinzi dared not back down anymore. The entire Six Doors mobilized. If anyone didn't go, it would be equivalent to cutting themselves off from the "office atmosphere." If something happened to you in the future, don't expect other colleagues to stand up for you.

The two had no choice but to blend in with the group of constables and head towards Hongya Gate.

Along the way, the two checked each other's appearances. Li Gu stared at Zhang Yi carefully, and Zhang Yi stared at Li Gu in return, confirming that the other's face was made up to look nothing like Li Gu and Zhang Yi, but rather like Li Mujin and Zhang Chunyu, the new constables of the yamen.

"Let's not make a move for a while, just follow the other constables and shout," Zhang Yi said in a low voice. "And when we do make a move, don't use the [Combined Edge Sword] you just learned, just use the Zhang family's ruler technique."

Li Gu nodded.

On the other side, Cai Xinzi was talking to another veteran constable: "Old Yao, aren't you usually in charge of liaising with the Demonic Sect?"

The old constable was named Yao Xingjuan. He was a seasoned veteran who had been working in the Jiangzhou government office for seven or eight years. When Cai Xinzi said, "You are in charge of liaising with the Demonic Sect," what she really meant was, "You took money from the Demonic Sect." It was just a nicer way of putting it.

Yao Xingjuan smiled awkwardly: "Chief Constable, don't worry. Since the Demonic Sect has injured our own brothers, I will absolutely not speak up for them this time."

Cai Xinzi immediately lowered her voice: "Who the hell wants to blame you for this? What I'm trying to say is, can you go to the Demonic Sect first and contact Mo Xuanye or Hua Mingyuan, or anyone who can take responsibility, before we get there? Tell them to hand over the guy who injured our brother, and that'll be the end of it. Don't make a huge fuss."

Yao Xingjuan exclaimed "Ah!" and immediately understood. She whispered, "Okay, then I'll go first. Chief Constable, please take your time."

After saying that, the two parted ways and took a few more steps forward. Yao Xingjuan suddenly turned into a side alley, used her movement technique, and headed towards Hongya Gate at top speed.

On the other side, Cai Xinzi deliberately slowed down, saying to the other constables as she walked, "Slow down, slow down, check your weapons. We might have a big fight later, so be careful."

Niu Xin's eyes flashed with a fierce light: "I can't be slow! I just want to kill all the people from the Demonic Sect right now."

Cai Xinzi: "Young people... cough... young people should be like this, full of fighting spirit. But hey, Ma Zhi, who is at the fifth level of Qi Refining, has already collapsed. Niu Xin, you're only at the third level of Qi Refining, what are you doing here causing trouble? Go back immediately and take care of Ma Zhi. You are not allowed to participate in today's battle, lest you impulsively throw your life away."

Niu Xin panicked: "Hey? Ma Zhi has a doctor looking after him, he doesn't need me to take care of him. I'm going to fight the Demonic Sect."

Cai Xinzi roared, "Fuck your mother! You think you can take on anyone at level 3 of Qi Refining? You're only good for getting fucked. Get back and take care of Ma Zhi, that's my order."

Left with no other choice, Niu Xin had to leave the team and return to the yamen.

Li Gu and Zhang Yi watched coldly from behind. Both of them had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and their five senses were superior to those of the Qi Refining stage. They had seen Cai Xinzi and Yao Xingjuan's little actions just now. When they saw Cai Xinzi rushing back to Niu Xin, it was clear that she did not want Niu Xin to make a big fuss later. He had the best relationship with Ma Zhi, and it was impossible for him to handle things calmly.

Li Gu and Zhang Yi didn't actually want things to escalate to a full-scale war with the Demonic Sect; if a real fight broke out, it would be too easy to expose themselves.

Even the usually upright Zhang Yi couldn't help but curse himself inwardly: At a time like this, I actually didn't want to start a full-scale war with the Demonic Sect, and even thought that Cai Xinzi was right to send Niu Xin back. I've really disgraced the famous constable Zhang Kuai Dao.

She was lost in thought, remembering her father's voice and smile, when Li Gu gently tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "Senior Sister, Niu Xin hasn't gone back."

"Hmm?" Zhang Yi was slightly startled and quickly looked in the direction Li Gu was pointing.

Niu Xin pretended to return to the yamen, but actually turned sideways at the entrance of the alley behind him, hiding in the alley and secretly peeking out half of his face to watch the constables in front.

It was obvious that Niu Xin planned to secretly follow behind the group.

Zhang Yi frowned and said, "This is bad. He still followed us. If we act rashly, we might cause a big problem."

Li Gu sighed softly, "Emotionally, I want to help him, but the threat to his life is looming over me. It's so difficult."

The two had no choice but to divert some of their attention to Niu Xin.

The prefectural government office was located at Taiping Gate. After crossing the Yuzhong Peninsula to Hongya Gate, the place you arrived at was the entrance to the upper city of Hongya Gate, which was the entrance to the cliff top at a height of 11 stories. This place was far less bustling than the entrance to the lower city. There were no cargo ships coming and going, no merchants or ordinary laborers.

The area around the city gate was deserted, with only a few old soldiers in their sixties and seventies standing guard listlessly.

The veterans were dozing off when suddenly a large group of constables surged in from inside the city gate. At the same time, from the upper entrance of the Jiangzhou branch outside the city gate, a large group of gangsters in black emerged. As if they had agreed with the constables, both groups rushed into the city gate at the same time.

The two veteran soldiers guarding the city were so frightened that they immediately dropped to the ground and scrambled into the nearby hiding place used for resting, refusing to show their faces.

Mo Xuanye, the current acting leader of the Jiangzhou branch of the Demonic Sect, stood at the front, carrying a huge calligraphy brush on his back.

Meanwhile, Chief Constable Cai Xinzi stepped forward and stood at the very front, facing Mo Xuanye from afar.

Cai Xinzi spoke first: "Where is your hall master, Hua Mingyuan? Isn't he coming?"

Mo Xuanye smiled: "Even Prefect Hong isn't coming, how could my master possibly come? Do you think you're worthy of seeing my master?"

The constables were furious, but they quickly calmed down. In the entire Jiangzhou government office, only Prefect Hong could fight Hua Mingyuan. The other constables were far inferior. If Hua Mingyuan really came, all the constables present would have to cower.

Okay, it's right that he didn't come.

Cai Xinzi coughed twice to ease the awkwardness before saying, "Mo Xuanye, you should know why we're here, right? I won't waste any more words. Hand over the gang members who assaulted you, and let us punish them according to the law."

"Otherwise what?" Mo Xuanye said sarcastically, "Shouldn't such a statement be followed by 'Otherwise we'll do this and that to you'? Why isn't there a second half?"

Cai Xinzi: "..."

Stunned, Cai Xinzi immediately scanned the group chat for Yao Xingjuan: Damn it, wasn't I supposed to tell this guy to speak up beforehand? Why didn't he do anything?

Just as he was getting annoyed, Yao Xingjuan emerged from a corner of the city wall and whispered in Cai Xinzi's ear, "I talked to him, but we couldn't reach an agreement. This time, the Demonic Sect is really angry. Not only do they refuse to hand over the murderer, but they also said they will continue to cause chaos until they find the person they are looking for, and they won't give anyone face."

Cai Xinzi asked curiously, "Why is there such a big fire? What did that person do to the Demonic Sect?"

Yao Xingjuan said in a low voice, "He wouldn't say, but I could tell it wasn't a small matter."
