#404 - The investigation agency is also involved?
Li Muyun's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
He had indeed received reports about the legend of the City of Wrongful Deaths from his subordinates before.
It was said that within the Changzhou martial world, there were eccentrics who claimed to be able to enter the City of Wrongful Deaths in the underworld at fixed times every day.
Rumor had it that the City of Wrongful Deaths was filled with rampaging vengeful spirits and permeated with Yin energy, a truly eerie and terrifying ghost realm.
However, the city concealed some unknown treasures, and as long as one could defeat those ferocious vengeful spirits, one would have the opportunity to obtain these valuable treasures.
In the past, some people had successfully brought gold and silver jewelry out of the City of Wrongful Deaths, and others had returned with miraculous pills and medicines.
All kinds of rumors intertwined, making the matter seem even more mystical.
Li Muyun pondered for a moment, then respectfully replied:
"Your subordinate has also heard about this matter, but has not been able to verify it."
"As a member of the officialdom, in charge of martial arts criminal justice, your subordinate should not easily believe in these tales of the supernatural."
In Li Muyun's view, there had always been no shortage of bizarre and strange legends among the common people. If they, as case-handling personnel, blindly believed every legend, they would have no time to attend to normal case-solving work. It would be better to burn incense and worship Buddha all day long.
But who would have expected that the low voice in the carriage would slowly say:
"Coincidentally, I am very interested in this matter."
Li Muyun was stunned upon hearing this.
However, he reacted extremely quickly, and immediately flattered:
"Your Excellency truly has foresight and penetrating insight, discerning the key to the matter at a glance."
"Your subordinate is ashamed of his inferiority, being extremely dull. Compared with Your Excellency's far-sightedness, I am far behind."
"Now that I think about it carefully, this matter is indeed full of strangeness."
"Your subordinate will immediately arrange for people to conduct an in-depth investigation into this matter, and also arrest a few people closely related to this matter to bring back for detailed interrogation."
"Within a few days, your subordinate will definitely be able to investigate this matter thoroughly!"
A satisfied "Mmm" came from the carriage.
Li Muyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing that he had reacted quickly and changed his attitude in time, otherwise he would have almost displeased his superior.
He immediately turned around, preparing to handle this matter.
But at this moment.
Suddenly, a team of riders was galloping along the official road.
Although this team of riders was dressed in plain clothes, each of them had a steady aura, and their temples were bulging high. It was clear at a glance that they were all martial arts experts with extraordinary levels.
Currently, bandits were rampant on the Changzhou official road, and there were already very few pedestrians.
At this time, the sudden appearance of such a team of strong riders was indeed extremely suspicious.
Upon seeing this, Li Muyun decisively waved his hand and ordered loudly:
"Stop them for me and investigate them carefully!"
"If they are bandits, capture them on the spot!"
As Li Muyun's order was issued, the constables and officers of the Six Doors immediately rushed out like arrows, quickly forming an interception line on the road.
After this group of riders was intercepted, they were immediately filled with anger.
The leader waved his horsewhip, pointed at the people of the Six Doors, and shouted angrily:
"Get out of the way, you little brats from the Six Doors!"
"We have important matters to attend to. If it is delayed, none of you can bear the responsibility!"
"Call your leader out to speak!"
This group of people not only showed no fear in the face of the people from the Six Doors, but their attitude was also so arrogant, which made the constables of the Six Doors show hesitation.
They also roughly guessed in their hearts that this group of people probably had extraordinary origins.
Upon seeing this, Li Muyun steadily stepped forward and said loudly:
"This official is Li Muyun, the commander of the Six Doors in Changzhou. Who are you?"
Moreover, from this token, it could be seen that the person in front of him was a chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!
The official rank of the chief was exactly the same as Li Muyun's commander.
The Six Doors and the Embroidered Uniform Guard were both powerful tools used by the imperial court to maintain its rule, and were the emperor's claws and eyes.
Although both sides were serving the imperial court and the emperor, the relationship between them was not harmonious.
No wonder these people from the Embroidered Uniform Guard were so arrogant and rude when facing the Six Doors.
"See clearly?"
"If you see clearly, quickly get out of our way!"
The chief was riding on his horse, shouting loudly from a high position, and then reached out and directly snatched the token back from Li Muyun's hand.
Obviously, in his eyes, a mere Li Muyun was not worth mentioning at all.
Li Muyun's face instantly darkened.
If it were normal times, he might still have been somewhat wary of the chief of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
After all, the Embroidered Uniform Guard was directly under the emperor's command and was closer to the emperor.
The Six Doors belonged to the Ministry of Justice of the imperial court, and its relationship with the emperor was indeed not as good as that of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
But at this moment, there was a big shot sitting behind Li Muyun.
Sure enough.
A cold snort came from inside the carriage:
"A bunch of spies, how dare you shout in front of me?"
"All of you, get off your horses!!!"
With this last angry roar, a powerful internal force wrapped around the sound and rolled out.
This group of people from the Embroidered Uniform Guard was suddenly stimulated by this internal force, and each of them felt as if their chest had been hit hard by a sledgehammer, and they could no longer sit steadily on their horses, and they all fell off their horses in a sorry state.
Only the chief was barely able to sit on his horse, but his face was also extremely ugly at this moment, full of intense astonishment in addition to a pale complexion.
"May I ask... which master of the Six Doors is in the carriage?"
The chief couldn't help but clasp his fists and asked.
A steady voice came from the carriage:
"Qingfeng."
The chief's face changed drastically upon hearing this.
Qingfeng, one of the Four Great Constables, who in the world did not know his name?
Even the chief's official position was one level lower than that of the famous constable.
He no longer dared to continue sitting on his horse, and hurriedly jumped off his horse, saluting the carriage again:
"I didn't know that Constable was here. It was this subordinate's rudeness."
"This subordinate has official business to attend to and will leave immediately. I will come to apologize to Constable another day."
After saying that, the chief wanted to take a group of spies and leave quickly.
But at this moment, the voice in the carriage sounded again:
"You want to leave just like that?"
"All the spies accept a body search. You can only leave after the inspection is completed."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the chief and his subordinates changed.
They had already reported their identities and expressed their willingness to no longer cause trouble and leave.
But this famous constable of the Six Doors was still unwilling to give up.
If the people of the Embroidered Uniform Guard were to be searched and inspected by the people of the Six Doors, it would simply be a loss of face for the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
The chief immediately said in a deep voice:
"Constable, we have already reported our identities."
"As members of the same officialdom, what right do you have to search us?"
There was no need for the person in the carriage to respond in person.
Li Muyun had already understood his superior's intention, and he immediately stood up and said in a deep voice:
"Can a token prove your identities?"
"Now that bandits are rampant in Changzhou, we have reason to suspect that bandits have stolen the Embroidered Uniform Guard's token and are impersonating the Embroidered Uniform Guard's spies."
"Only after we search you can we confirm that your identities are correct."
"Brothers, take action!"
"If anyone dares to resist, don't be polite!"
As Li Muyun gave an order, the constables of the Six Doors immediately surged up like a tide.
This group of people from the Embroidered Uniform Guard had never suffered such humiliation before, and they were naturally full of dissatisfaction and even wanted to resist.
In the end, the chief stopped his subordinates:
"Let them search!"
When the chief said these words, he was obviously extremely unwilling. His face was somewhat distorted due to excessive anger, and his eyes were flashing with sinister light.
The constables of the Six Doors immediately stepped forward to search them. Their searching movements were extremely rough, obviously deliberately trying to make things difficult for this group of spies.
The spies were all furious, but since the chief had already given the order, they could only grit their teeth and endure it.
Finally, the body search ended.
Li Muyun then clapped his hands and said:
"Okay, there's no problem, you can go now."
The chief glared at Li Muyun fiercely, disdaining to talk to him at all.
The chief turned his gaze to the carriage and said in a deep voice:
"Constable has great courage. This official has learned a lesson today."
"This matter, this official will definitely report to his superiors."
"After this official finishes his official business, I will have a good discussion with Constable."
"Let's go!"
The chief waved his hand, took a group of spies, turned over and mounted their horses, and galloped away, instantly disappearing from everyone's sight.
The people of the Six Doors watched their departing backs, feeling extremely happy in their hearts.
This group of people from the Embroidered Uniform Guard were usually arrogant and domineering, and they didn't take the people of the Six Doors seriously at all. The people of the Six Doors had suffered a lot of their anger.
Today, they had suffered a great loss, which naturally made everyone feel very comfortable.
It was just that everyone couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, what were this group of spies doing in Changzhou?
However, since the Embroidered Uniform Guard was directly under the emperor's command, the Six Doors had no right to interfere in their mission.
At this time.
A fast horse galloped like lightning from a distance.
This time, on the back of the horse, was a constable from the Six Doors responsible for transmitting messages by carrier pigeon.
After he approached, he hurriedly jumped off his horse and stepped forward to report the situation:
"Reporting to Constable and Commander!"
"According to the message transmitted by carrier pigeon, the whereabouts of that giant eagle have been discovered in many places."
"It is flying along our expected route, and it may be able to reach Yanshan Stronghold in a few days."
Upon hearing this news, everyone hurriedly packed their luggage, quickly stood up, and dared not continue to rest.
They had come here to pursue bandits, and now that the bandits' route had been determined, they had to immediately catch up non-stop.
Li Muyun also turned over and mounted his horse, and ordered:
"Set off immediately!"
"We must capture that group of bandits before they reach Yanshan Stronghold!"
Immediately, Li Muyun rode his horse and personally walked at the forefront of the team, and the people of the Six Doors also followed, with the carriage still in the middle position.
A group of people marched mightily towards their target direction...
