Great Xuanwu Sheng Chapter 46

 Chapter 46 Purpose

 Directorate of Urban Health.

Xu Hongyu, wearing a white flying fish suit, led dozens of people, walked straight out of the headquarters in the drizzle, and disappeared into the streets of Nancheng District.

On the third floor of the General Office, He Mingxuan stood at the window, watching Xu Hongyu leave, standing with his hands behind his back with a cold expression.

“Sir, are we not going to get involved in the Black Crow Cult's affairs?”

A man wearing a dark green police officer's uniform stood beside him, watching Xu Hongyu's back disappear, and couldn't help but ask He Mingxuan in a low voice.

He Mingxuan looked down at the Nancheng District in the drizzle and said calmly: "If she wants to do it, let her do it. I also have some clues about the Black Crow Sect. I can roughly guess their purpose. This has caused a lot of confusion. In order to satisfy the dissatisfaction of some people above, it will not do us any good to interfere in this matter."

“What's more, the Black Crow Sect has been entrenched for many years, and the main altar is located underground, so it is not that easy to deal with it.”

Although destroying the Black Crow Sect would definitely gain some benefits from it. After all, it was a force that had been rooted for many years. However, after understanding its intricacies, He Mingxuan decided not to get involved.

There is no need to fight for something that may be thankless. Now Xu Hongyu is basically dispatching her own troops. If the Black Crow Sect is more insidious and cunning, Xu Hongyu may suffer heavy losses this time. By then, in the city The power of the Wei Department will also be further weakened, and it will be even more difficult to suppress him as the Deputy Director-General.

 In the drizzle.

The City Guards Brigade moved solemnly and fiercely. For a time, almost every house in the house closed its doors in panic. Everywhere they went, the streets and alleys were instantly deserted, and not a single person was seen.

However, this large-scale operation was not about searching for bandits, nor was it a door-to-door tax collection, but a capture of the Black Crow Sect's headquarters. Many officers went straight to the Black Crow Sect's headquarters without stopping at all.

soon.

The officers of the Jiutiaoli City Guards Department, headed by Min Baoyi, all arrived at the headquarters of the Black Crow Sect.

There were still a lot of people in the streets and alleys. Some civilians with numb eyes braved the drizzle. They hid some incense sticks in their arms and hurried to burn incense in the temple of the Black Crow Sect. When they saw a large number of servants appearing, they suddenly Time is still numb and unresponsive.

"superior!"

Min Baoyi suddenly pulled out his sword, pointed at the headquarters of the Black Crow Sect, and said solemnly: "The Black Crow Sect deceives the people, extracts money, and kidnaps people. It is a heinous crime... I am ordered by the Commander-in-Chief to arrest all the Black Crow Sect members and others. Take it!”

Following Min Baoyi's order, five leaders, including Chen Mu, had already led a group of troops to spread out, quickly surrounded the entire Black Crow Sect station, and then suddenly attacked it.

 Chen Mu was walking in the drizzle. He didn't even encounter any decent resistance along the way. He didn't need to draw his sword. Liu Song, Li Tie and other officers beside him quickly ended the battle.

 Just a moment.

The approximately 100 members of the Black Crow Cult who were stationed in the Black Crow Cult were killed and arrested. Together with some poor people who had been bewitched by the Black Crow Cult, they were temporarily detained in a courtyard and guarded by Qin Bei.

Min Baoyi, Chen Mu, Wang Gong and others came to the yard that Chen Mu had investigated earlier, where the Black Crow Sect's secret passage to the underground was located, and ordered a group of officers to search carefully.

 The yard was quickly turned upside down.

 Soon, a hole was found in a wall of the back room, but the mechanism could not be found.

 “Get away, everyone.”

Min Baoyi looked at it carefully, waved his hand to signal the people who were still looking for him to step back, and then pulled out his sword with a clang, and suddenly swung out two swords and chopped them on the wall.

With a clicking sound, the hard and thick wall was chopped into pieces by Min Baoyi's knife like tofu, revealing a dark passage diagonally downwards at the rear.

 “Looks like this is it.”

Min Baoyi squinted his eyes and looked into the depths of the passage. He saw that the passage was extremely deep and he couldn't see what was at the end.

Wang Gong said in a deep voice: "This place is completely unknown, and there is no guarantee that there won't be any dangerous traps. I think it's better to interrogate the Black Crow cult members first to see if we can find out some useful information before taking the next step."

Min Baoyi put away his sword, nodded slightly, and said, "That makes sense."

 Chen Mu also looked at the passage with a contemplative expression. He encountered almost no decent obstacles along the way, and the many Black Crow cultists he captured were almost all ordinary people, and there was not even an incense owner among them.

The more this happens, the more important it is that this underground passage is important. The top leaders of the Black Crow Sect must have retreated into this passage, and they have completely abandoned the above-ground part.

"Prince Zhong Chang, you and I will keep watch here. Chen Mu, please take people to search various places to see if there are any other clues. I will go to Qinbei to see if I can find some clues through interrogation."

Min Baoyi quickly arranged the arrangements.

Everyone responded one after another and quickly took action.

 Chen Mu was quite familiar with the place because he had once visited the Black Crow Cult's headquarters at night. At this time, he took Liu Song and others to search room by room. However, after a search, they found nothing. When I returned to the yard, I happened to see Min Baoyi walking over with a sullen face. Apparently, the interrogation also found nothing. The captured Black Crow Cult members didn't even know about the underground main altar and the secret passage. They had nothing to do with Chen Mu. The two people I randomly picked up that night were both clueless.

 “Wang Gong, go arrange some people and go down to investigate.”

Min Baoyi said in a deep voice.

Since there are no clues anywhere and nothing can be found through interrogation, we can only send people down to explore. Anyway, there are still many followers of the Black Crow Sect who can be driven ahead. Explore step by step and slowly dig out the underground sooner or later.

Wang Gong also nodded gloomily. Of course he didn't like to go underground to explore without knowing anything, but at the moment there was no other way. He quickly captured a few Black Crow Cult members, I ordered people to drive them down together and investigate one by one.

after awhile.

The first group of people who went down came back with bloodstains all over their bodies. One of the four policemen was seriously injured and the other was slightly injured. They were attacked by hidden arrows from the tunnel. As for the Black Crow Cultists who were driving ahead. Everyone will die cleanly.

After asking for details, Wang Gong waved his hand and motioned for a few people to go down to rest and recuperate. Then he replaced another group of people, drove some Black Crow Sect members ahead again, and went back to explore again.

 So repeatedly.

Half a while passed, more than a dozen officers were injured, and more than 30 members of the Black Crow Sect were killed. The general situation of the secret passage below gradually emerged, but the end was still not explored.

Just judging from the clues, this passage is very long, far away from their current location, and the direction is probably towards the "Erdaoli" side.

 According to the map comparison, it should be more accurate that it leads to the center of Erdaoli, Jiutiaoli and Wutongli.

"It seems that their main altar is really located in the center of the three places."

Min Baoyi spoke in a deep voice.

Just when he was about to order people to convey the news to all parties, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside.

 “How's the situation?”

 A cold voice sounded, but it was a voice that Chen Mu was very familiar with.

When I turned around to look, I saw a woman wearing a white flying fish suit and a bamboo hat walking into the courtyard in the drizzle, followed by a dozen police officers. It was Xu Hongyu, the chief police officer of Nancheng District whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

The continuous drizzle is like a curtain, adding a layer of hazy beauty to the cold jade face under the bamboo hat.

 “See General Chaosi.”

 All the servants in the courtyard did not dare to look too much, and all bowed respectfully.

Min Baoyi also bowed, and then quickly recounted the current situation.

After hearing this, Xu Hongyu nodded slightly and said: "I will send my men over to sit on guard. The other two places will suspend exploration, and I will open a gap from your side and attack in."

There are passages in the three places, and each passage has traps. There is no need to waste manpower to advance in three directions. It is enough to open the passage in Kujoli and attack the opponent's main altar.

 But at this time.

Suddenly, a figure wearing a raincoat came hurriedly, but it was Xu Hongyu's personal maid Xiao He, whom Chen Mu had seen several times before. She quickly came to Xu Hongyu's side with a serious look on her face, and said something in Xu Hongyu's ear.

 “Seriously?”

Xu Hongyu's face changed slightly.

 “Ninety percent of it is true.”

 Xiaohe nodded solemnly.

Xu Hongyu's face suddenly darkened, and she said in a deep voice: "There is no need to investigate, gather everyone, and follow me in immediately!"

Min Baoyi and others who were closer also heard Xiao He's low-pitched report, and they all changed their faces at this time.

Chen Mu also heard it and his eyes became cold.

The information reported by Xiao He is that... the Black Crow Cult uses some secret method to cultivate and control a gray-skinned demon rat, and calls it the 'Dharma Protector'. This rat itself is not very strong, but when it bites people, it can cause minor damage. It can cause convulsions and epilepsy, and in severe cases can cause people to fall into madness and bite others, almost like the source of the plague.

Nowadays, this kind of gray-skinned demon rat has not yet been cultivated. Only the offspring are infested in the city. Once it is completely completed, it can quickly spread to the whole city. By then, the life and death of millions of people in the outer city will be controlled by it. The whole thing will be destroyed!

By that time, even the major families in the inner city will have no choice but to turn against them. The Black Crow Sect will also become a force that can negotiate with the major families in the inner city and seek power from them.
