Chapter 82: The Ministry of Justice Arrests Someone

Han Xu didn't expect that there was a spiritual object in Wang Xiaohu's collection.

And this spiritual object is very suitable for him.

Because Han Xu has a martial arts download system, he has different extraordinary martial arts. With the Thousand Faces Mask, he has different identities and doesn't have to worry about being discovered.

"Uncle Lin, I'll remember your merit." Han Xu said, and with a thought, he turned into the appearance of the White Sword Demon. The Thousand Faces exuded a hazy glow and turned into the shape of Han Xu's original silver mask, and also transformed into the clothes Han Xu wore when he played the White Sword Demon.

"It's so convenient."

Lin Feng also sighed: "I didn't expect that there are such magical spiritual objects in the world."

Although the Thousand Faces have no attack power, the benefits it brings make Han Xu very surprised.

In the past, when he turned into the White Sword Demon, he would worry about being seen through by others. As long as he met a master of the same realm, he could see through his disguise under the mask.

But in the future, there is no need to worry about this problem at all.

"In this way, I have two spiritual objects." Han Xu touched his plain belt. This plain belt, which was inlaid with only eighteen pigeon egg-sized gems, was another spiritual object he had accidentally obtained before.

Suppressing the excitement of getting the treasure, Han Xu rarely went to bed early. In order to prevent the system from automatically downloading Bai Yiyi's Misty Waves and Ethereal Steps, Han Xu had to get up early to go to Jiuxiao Academy during this period.

His many years of experience showed that the system for downloading skills would start downloading skills at the earliest at Chenshi, so before Chenshi, he had to leave his mansion at least five kilometers away.

Han Xu originally thought that the old man selling buns would disappear after the assassination failed, but he didn't.

Starting from the next day, the bun shop was open as usual. Han Xu naturally would not expose him, but patronized it several times. After all, the buns made by the old man were really delicious.

Not long after, news came from the royal city that the mysterious leader of the Golden Sword Sect suddenly set up two new halls and appointed two hall masters, Feng and Yue. As for the manpower, it was not drawn from the previous halls, but was secretly recruited by the two hall masters Feng and Yue.

Nishang and Bai Yiyi are indeed professionally trained elites. Not long after, the two halls began to operate.

Especially Bai Yiyi, who quickly collected a lot of valuable information.

From her, Han Xu also understood the division of various factions in the court.

Among the many descendants of Emperor Wu, the most capable ones are the Crown Prince of the East Palace, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince.

The six ministries in the court also have their sides, openly or secretly. Among them, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Personnel are all on the side of the Crown Prince Wu Xiuqi. The Minister of Works He Yi clearly supports the Third Prince Wu Xiuxian, and the Minister of Households Fang Ting clearly supports the Fifth Prince Wu Xiuren. As for the Minister of War Hou Qian, he remains neutral and does not obviously favor any prince.

Han Xu nodded. Bai Yiyi's results were roughly consistent with his previous analysis. He had long guessed that the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment were members of the Queen's party. The Crown Prince was the Queen's biological son, so they naturally supported her. It was reasonable for the Ministry of War to remain neutral.

Among the six ministries, the Ministry of War was the strongest in terms of strength, so it naturally did not dare to express its position easily, otherwise it would make Emperor Wu suspicious. However, whether Hou Qian had made a decision in secret still needed further investigation in the future.

However, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue surprised Han Xu a little, especially the Ministry of Revenue, the richest institution among the six ministries, in charge of the world's finances and grain. As the saying goes, money makes the devil work, and it seems that the fifth prince will not be a fuel-saving lamp.

Could it be that the fifth prince is the man behind Xiaoxiang Pavilion?

"By the way, speaking of this, I forgot to ask you how the recruitment is going?"

Bai Yiyi and Nishang said: "Fortunately, we had some resources in our hands before, and we cultivated a group of people we can trust. Now we have secretly recalled them."

"Will they be discovered by the previous forces?"

"Master, don't worry. These people have nothing to do with the original forces. We secretly cultivated them."

They were the top courtesans in the past, but they were the backbone of their respective organizations. They more or less kept some back-ups for themselves, which can be put to use now.

"You are right to do this. It's not about the number of soldiers, but the quality of soldiers." Han Xu said, "It doesn't matter if there are fewer people now, but you must ensure the loyalty of your subordinates. The reason why I don't let you use the people of the Golden Sword Sect is because I want to ensure that your two halls must be independent and must be completely trusted by us."

"In this way, even if there is no Golden Sword Sect in the future, we will have our own power in our hands."

Nishang and Bai Yiyi are so smart that they quickly guessed the meaning behind Han Xu's words.

Han Xu had long suspected that there was a force behind the Golden Sword Sect secretly controlling it. Although Lin Feng became the sect leader, in fact, most of the power was still secretly controlled by the four hall masters.

There was a force that was fighting against Lin Feng.

In his original plan, the Golden Sword Sect was just a transition and dispensable. Sooner or later, he would have to establish his own power. Only when he could fully control the power could he really use it with confidence. This idea could be implemented freely after obtaining the spiritual object Qianmian.

However, before implementation, Han Xu wanted to exploit the interests of the Golden Sword Sect through the two halls established by Nishang and Bai Yiyi. Why not use other people's money to support his own team?

After simply communicating with Bai Yiyi and Nishang a few times, Han Xu no longer cared about the things here. For now, with Lin Feng's strength as a guarantee, plus the means of Bai Yiyi and Nishang, it was enough to deal with all problems.

Han Xu still went to Jiuxiao Academy early every morning. Who would have thought that the biggest playboy in Wangcheng would turn into a diligent and motivated good student in the eyes of everyone.

This aroused everyone's interest in him even more, and they looked forward to seeing his jokes when the one-month period was over.

It's too late to know how to practice at the age of 18!

Han Xu knew what others thought, but he didn't care. Except for going to the back mountain to download the exercises, he hardly stayed in the academy. He only met Zhao Meng occasionally and learned about Han Luoling's situation from him. Han Xu hardly talked to anyone.

That day, as soon as he walked out of the gate of the academy, he was surrounded by a group of sword-carrying warriors. Judging from their uniform clothes, they were government constables.

"Mr. Han, please go with us." The leader said.

"Why should I go with you?"

"There is a case that requires you to cooperate with us in the investigation."

"I don't have time." Han Xu said, and then left, but was blocked by two people.

The leader lowered his voice and said, "We are from the Ministry of Justice. We need Mr. Han to assist us in investigating the death of General Wang Qian. Please move."

Han Xu looked around and found that all his routes were blocked by this group of sword-wielding warriors. If he didn't go, he would have to take action.

So he said, "Lead the way, but I warn you to think clearly."

"Mr. Han, please!"

Several people took Han Xu to a black carriage and drove away from the gate of Jiuxiao Academy quickly. Although the negotiation time was short, it was still seen by many people.

At the corner, a figure quickly disappeared after Han Xu got on the carriage.
