Chapter 225 Supervisory Council!

Bai Wuxin looked at Tang Bandit and asked, "Are you trying to force a confession?"

"How could it be? We have never done such illegal and criminal things." Tang Bandit said with a smile: "We are just trying to protect ourselves. Last time a thief came to the house and was hit by him. His head was so pulpy that it looked like ketchup."

"When the police came, they couldn't find the face. They could only rely on genetic testing to confirm the identity of the victim and the home invasion robber."

"Actually, you already have the answer in your heart, you just don't want to admit it." Bai Wuxin sneered: "Otherwise, why didn't you call the police?"

"I don't call that an answer, I call it speculation." Tang Bandit said, "What you say is the answer."

"I said, we are the same kind of people. What kind of person would be the same kind of person as you?" Bai Wuxin asked back.

"How can I, a person who is loyal to the empire and the royal family, be the same as you?" Tang Bandit said angrily: "My life was given by the royal family, and I am willing to dedicate it to the royal family at any time."

A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Bai Wuxin's mouth, and he asked: "Is this how Lu Yu taught you?"

"Huh?" Tang Bandi looked at Bai Wuxin with squinted eyes and asked, "Who is he?"

"."

"Have you met Ling Yunxiao? I caught him." Bai Wuxin broke the news again.

"."

When it comes to Lu Yu, Tang Bandit still has no way of confirming whether he is an enemy or a friend.

After all, Lu Yu is a wanted criminal in the Phoenix Empire, and he has some connections with the Lu family. Who knows if he was sent by the royal family or the nine major families to test him?

Zhong Daolong has just promoted himself to the deputy captain of the Palace Guards, and from now on he will be one of his own.

That position is not high-level, but it is quite important.

It can be said that he is responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the royal family. If he is not careful, big disasters may occur.

They couldn't be more cautious.

However, when he said Ling Yunxiao's name, Tang Bandit knew that this was one of his own.

Very few people know about Ling Yunxiao's arrest. It can be said that it is limited to him and the old man.

He said Lu Yu's name and the incident of Ling Yunxiao's arrest, so his identity was self-evident.

Tang Bandit suppressed his smile, looked at Bai Wuxin and asked, "Who are you?"

"Bai Wuxin."

"Your real name?"

"That's my real name."

"What's your identity?" Tang Bandit asked, "An orphan from Sunshine Welfare Home?"

"Yes." Bai Wuxin nodded and said, "Of course, there is another identity, the Avenger."

"What's your relationship with Lu Yu?"

"I have nothing to do with him."

"We can't talk anymore if you talk like this."

"My father has a relationship with him." Bai Wuxin looked at Tang Bandit and said, "My father also has a relationship with your father."

boom!

Tang Bandit felt like his head was exploding.

Sure enough, he knew his identity and he knew that he was Tang Li's son.

My identity is known to more and more people

He knew that this was the old man trying to build momentum for himself, but the more people who knew about it, the greater the risk of exposure.

Very dangerous! Very dangerous!

Xiaopang, on the other hand, looked at Tang Bandit and Bai Wuxin with a confused expression. What was the relationship between their fathers? Isn’t the eldest brother an orphan from the old land?

"So, you chose to escape to us because you knew I would definitely save you?"

"Yes." Bai Wuxin did not deny it and said: "There was an accident while performing the mission. I was ambushed. I shouldn't have moved closer to you. It was just that I was too injured and couldn't hold on."

"At that time, I needed a hiding place urgently. It happened to be relatively close to you, so I came here."

"You know I live here?"

"You followed me to the orphanage, so how could I not know your address?"

"It makes sense." Tang Bandit nodded, looked at Bai Wuxin and asked, "So, what exactly did you do? Why were you ambushed and chased?"

"Zhao Xianfeng and Shen Wanjiu from the Military Department, Wang Chenglong from the Finance Department, and Long Qingfang from the Supervisory Yuan. I killed these people."

Xiaopang looked at Bai Wuxin with wide eyes and said, "Are you...are you...the executioner?"

Bai Wuxin glanced at Xiaopang and replied, "Not bad."

Tang Bandit heard Xiaopang talk about this incident. Phoenix City has been very uneasy recently. Many senior officials and military bosses were killed.

Feelings are caused by this guy in front of you.

Tang Bandit didn't ask him why, because he knew what he was doing.

This was originally what he was supposed to do, but this guy was out there fighting for him in a bloody battle.

Tang Bandi's eyes softened a lot when he looked at Bai Wuxin, and he said loudly: "You are seriously injured. Take a good rest first, and don't be polite to us."

"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. It's hard to send you out during the day. I heard that there will be New Year's Eve activities in the evening. Everyone will gather towards Phoenix Square at seven or eight o'clock. At that time, I will find a way to send you back."

"Okay." Bai Wuxin nodded in agreement.

He is now completely powerless and can only follow the arrangements of Tang Bandit.

"Little Fatty, let's go out first, don't disturb his rest." Tang Bandit said aloud.

"Okay." Xiaopang stood up.

"The poison on my body" Bai Wuxin reminded.

"Poison? What poison?" Tang Bandit asked in astonishment: "How could we do such shameless and obscene things?"

"."

living room.

Tang Bandit and Xiao Pang stared at each other with big eyes.

The night was deep and it was already past two o'clock in the morning, but Tang Bandit and Xiaopang were not sleepy at all.

Bai Wuxin's sudden arrival broke the tranquility of the family and the tacit understanding between the two brothers.

In the past, Bandit Tang could deliberately hide his identity from Xiaopang and conceal the things he was going through.

But, should we continue to hide it now?

Even if Xiaopang is an idiot, he should have guessed that there is something wrong with his identity.

If you tell him the truth, how much pressure will it put on him?

What if he couldn't hide his emotions and exposed himself in front of Fenghuang and Teacher Sheng?

After a moment of silence, Tang Bandit was still ready to tell the truth.

If he had a choice, the only person in the world he was unwilling to deceive was Xiaopang.

Because Xiaopang has never lied to him.

Tang Bandit looked at Fatty and said loudly: "Little Fatty."

Xiaopang suddenly yawned, stood up from the sofa and said, "Brother, I'm a little sleepy and can't stand it anymore. If you have anything to do, let's talk about it tomorrow?"

"Little Fatty." Tang Bandit called to Little Fatty and said, "Are you not curious at all?"

Xiaopang turned to look at Tang Bandit and asked, "What are you curious about?"

"Curious about who I am, curious about who my parents are, curious about my relationship with Bai Wuxin, curious about why I took such a big risk to save him?"

"I'm not curious." Xiaopang shook his head, looked at Tang Bandit and said, "The only thing I can be sure of is that you are my brother. I'm not curious about other things at all."

"What are you curious about? If brother wanted to tell me, he would have told me a long time ago. If you didn't tell me, there must be a reason why you can't tell me. Brother will not harm me."

Looking at Xiaopang's sincere and firm eyes, Tang Bandit's heart was filled with emotion.

He has never doubted himself. From childhood to adulthood, he has always adhered to this simple and firm idea: Big brother will not harm me.

Tang Bandit nodded and said softly: "Go to bed. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Well, brother, you should go to bed early, it's almost dawn." Xiaopang instructed.

"Okay." Tang Bandi agreed.

After Xiaopang returned to his room, Tang Bandit asked the intelligent robot to turn off all the lights in the living room.

He sat alone in the dark, sleepless and unable to go to sleep.

Bai Wuxin is not completely out of danger yet, and he will have to give him medicine again soon.

——

Oversight Council.

This is an institution that scares imperial officials.

They have the power to supervise officials and conduct impeachment audits.

It is the Sword of Damocles hanging above every official's head.

Zhong Jiayuan, director of the Fifth Division of the Oversight Yuan, hurriedly walked to the door of the dean's office. After arranging his clothes, he gently knocked on the thick, unmarked but solemn door of the office.

"Please come in." A rather enthusiastic voice came from inside.

Zhong Jiayuan pushed the door open, bowed deeply to the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa drinking tea, and said respectfully: "Dean."

Zhong Jiayuan is a direct descendant of the Zhong family, a true relative of the emperor.

However, when facing this man, he did not dare to show any arrogance or disrespect.

"Hometown" Yan Wenli is tall and thin, like a long bamboo pole. There is always a warm and hearty smile on his face, but this smile does not make people feel close to him, but instead gives him a creepy sense of crisis.

It was like being stared at by a smiling tiger.

The mad dog Yan Wenli killed as many as eighty high-ranking officials at the ministerial level, and countless others below the ministerial level.

Two of the princes were bitten to death, and the emperor's intercession was of no use.

Such a person is not something that the Zhongjia family can offend, nor is it someone that the Zhongjia family is willing to offend.

"Yes, Dean." Zhong Jiayuan responded with a bow and stepped forward to help him refill the tea.

"I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself." Yan Wenli smiled, grabbed the teapot from Zhong Jiayuan, and said, "Our brothers are going through life and death outside. After returning home, I should be the one to pour you a cup of hot tea." How can I get you to pour me tea?"

"This is the honor of a humble position." Zhong Jiayuan said humbly.

"I accept your suggestion." Yan Wenli took the initiative to pour a cup of hot tea for Zhong Jiayuan and said, "Come, sit down and drink tea."

"I don't dare to do this in a humble position."

"What is there to be afraid of? We are all eating from the same pot. Can I hold my position securely without relying on my brothers to work hard?"

Zhongjiayuan didn't dare to sit down.

The former director of one department took the position, and was soon transferred to the logistics department to manage the kitchen.

That is his direct descendant, his closest confidant.

Seeing that Zhong Jiayuan refused to sit down, Yan Wenli no longer forced himself, took a sip of tea and said, "How is it? How is the investigation of the case?"

"Report to the dean, under your strategizing, we laid hooks and set up traps in advance, and finally lured the killer into the situation. When he assassinated retired general Qin Sanyuan of the Yuhuo Army, we surrounded him."

"Huh? Where is the person now?" Yan Wenli asked with a smile on his face.

"Our brothers from the Fifth Division fought bravely and fought bloody battles, losing 21 good soldiers and injuring 37 others."

"Well, brothers, thank you for your hard work. The dead were buried generously and the injured were well cared for." Yan Wenli nodded and asked again: "Where are the people?"

"That monster is very powerful and has superb swordsmanship. I didn't expect him to escape in such a desperate situation," Zhong Jiayuan said with a guilty look on his face.

Yan Wenli stopped talking.

Zhong Jiayuan even lowered his head and didn't dare to breathe.

For a long time.

For a long time.

"Jiayuan," Yan Wenli sighed softly and looked up at Zhong Jiayuan with his slender eyes, saying, "You are not rigorous in your work."

"Yes. I am incompetent. Please punish me, dean."

"If you are really incompetent, I would have kicked you out long ago. The whole empire knows that our Supervisory Council does not support useless people."

"Yes."

"This person is extremely evil and has assassinated many of our government officials and retired soldiers in succession. Do you know how much panic this has caused in Phoenix City? People are panicking."

"Even the king has been paying attention to this matter. He would keep me in the meeting every day to ask me how the case is going and when the person can be caught."

"I spent so much effort and laid that It's such a big game. We finally managed to lure the big fish out of the water, but you let it go again? "

"I know my crime."

"Is there any hope of catching him?" Yan Wenli asked, "Didn't you say he was seriously injured? How far can he run? Where can he run to?"

"That's why I came back to ask the dean for help." Zhong Jiayuan straightened his back and said in a deep voice, "The killer disappeared in the Shishan area, which is rich and noble, and many royal family members and university professors live there."

"I'm afraid that a large-scale search will cause unrest and backlash from other officials."

Yan Wenli stood up. The dark black uniform of the Supervisory Commission looked empty on him, which was a bit funny.

Yan Wenli still had a smile on his face, but his voice became strong and powerful. He said, "We are eliminating harm for the people and arresting criminals for the country. What are you afraid of? What is there to be afraid of?"

"Whoever is dissatisfied with our work, let's check their work carefully. I want to see who is so ignorant of life and death that he has to go against us."

"Investigate, investigate thoroughly. Investigate thoroughly and get to the bottom of it."

"Yes. Dean."

"In addition, didn't you say that the man is strong and has superb swordsmanship? I'll ask a master to help you, Zhong Jiayuan. This time, you won't let me down again, right?"

"I will never let the dean down."

"Well. Go." Yan Wenli patted Zhong Jiayuan's shoulder vigorously and said with a smile: "I look forward to your triumphant return. I will ask the king for credit for you."

"Thank you for your support, dean."

"Why are you polite? We are all brothers. If you are good, I am good, and everyone is good. Hehe."

Zhong Jiayuan also laughed.

But he knew that he was not Yan Wenli's brother.

He didn't dare to be his brother.
