On the way to Jianyi, Zhang Mingtu silently adjusted his breathing.
The dragon and tiger external pills kept flashing, and amidst the dragon roars and tiger howls, the essence, blood, and will within them were gradually consumed.
The whole process was smooth and quick. Before long, the internal essence and blood were completely exhausted, and the vigorous life essence flowed into Zhang Mingtu's body from the Dragon and Tiger External Pill.
Firmly and step by step, he pushed Zhang Mingtu's cultivation to a higher level.
The physical body becomes stronger little by little, and the true energy in the body is also replenished little by little because of this vigorous life essence.
Zhang Mingtu has not yet figured out how to perfectly handle the situation at the Jiujiang County base.
But not having thought it through doesn't mean he won't do anything or work.
My future brothers have not pointed out a good path or direction, but we cannot throw the baby out with the bathwater. Of course, the affairs of Jiujiang County must be dealt with bit by bit.
Since it is difficult to handle from an official perspective, let’s deal with it from Zhang Mingtu’s personal perspective.
Killing all these demons secretly would not be a bad idea.
It is hard to say whether the Jinyiwei is reliable or not, but Xue Cheng is quite reliable.
Especially since the previous incident of the demon in the underground river in Jianyi served as an example, Xue Cheng had made many reports and conducted many investigations.
Not only did the Jinyiwei think that this case was quite classic, but Xue Cheng also thought that this action was quite classic and worth learning.
Not only does everyone have to learn, but Xue Cheng, the person involved, also has to study very seriously and hard.
After all, in everyone's opinion, this case was handled by him alone. The overall investigation process was quite smooth, well-organized, and the actions were orderly. It was a first-class example.
Later, he couldn't help but adopt this style in his work, mainly because he imitated it many times.
After Zhang Mingtu provided Xue Cheng with certain intelligence support through the identity of the Iron-masked Man, Xue Cheng did his job in this regard to the utmost.
All the investigation steps and processes, big and small news were sorted out, from big to small.
A very detailed report was made from the identities of the operatives at the Jiujiang base, their routes of action, the scope and area of the demons' daily activities, and the year and month of the eclipse.
With the intelligence support provided by his future brothers, Zhang Mingtu was able to clearly determine the movement routes and corresponding ranges of the demons in Jiujiang County. As long as they were vigilant, he could easily kill the eight-headed demon.
But it would not be a good idea to kill more demons next time, because Zhang Mingtu knew their routes of action.
If they go deeper to kill the demons, they will involuntarily get closer to the Jiujiang County base, which is likely to expose the base and arouse their vigilance.
After careful consideration, Zhang Mingtu decided to temporarily stop and only ambush in places where there were many major merchant ships, and not to act rashly.
Killing the eight-headed demon for the time being is the limit, and he has to return to Jianyi County next.
It took him half a month to kill the eight-headed demon. Next, he had to slowly digest the demon's essence and blood to further improve his strength.
At the same time, Ruihai had received news that the inspector from above was about to come, mainly to inspect Jiangzhou and Yangzhou.
In name, the inspection was carried out on these two states, but in fact, everyone who was interested knew that the inspection was mainly carried out on Xingguo County and Jianyi County where Ruihai was located.
Ruihai's actions this time have received support from many people at higher levels.
Many officials in the core area of Jiangnan have returned empty-handed. Many people at higher levels want to change the appearance of this core area, but they are facing great resistance.
Not only were there disagreements at the top, but even at the bottom, it was difficult to proceed due to the overlapping relationships and bloodline issues.
The clan problem is a stubborn problem in Jiangnan. The imperial court knows it, Daxia knows it, and the officials know it too, but there is no way to change it.
The more obvious a problem is, the more difficult it is to solve.
Zhang Mingtu spent more than ten years at the northern border. Not only did he gain a great understanding and progress in the relationships within the army, he also learned a lot about the divisions of power and factions within the imperial court.
Therefore, he already had corresponding calculations and understanding about this Inspector in his mind and was no longer as confused as before.
The inspector's surname is Yan, and he came from Jianyi County. Normally, he should represent the many wealthy families in Jiangnan, but the opposite is true.
In fact, this person does not come from a big family in Jiangnan, and a real big family in Jiangnan would not appear in Jianyi.
This person was truly a Jinshi who was admitted by virtue of his natural talent. If he had not been a person of Jiangnan with a good family background, his journey would not have been so smooth.
Under the manipulation of Duolun above, this inspector belongs neither to the faction that has been trying to investigate the Jiangnan area, nor to the core lineage of the Jiangnan faction.
He doesn't have a strong factional stamp on him; he was chosen simply because he's greedy.
He came down just to go through the formalities. As long as Ruihai understood things a little and gave him enough face, Ruihai would really be promoted.
Judging from the arrangements in this regard, Zhang Mingtu couldn't help but praise it. There were indeed capable people at the top, and some people really wanted Rui Hai to be promoted and eliminate the ills in Jiangnan.
But the problem is it's difficult.
This arrangement was quite reasonable from the perspective of those above who wanted to eliminate the ills of the Jiangnan faction. They had tried their best to prevent people from the Jiangnan faction from coming down for inspection.
As long as Ruihai is a little more sensible and conforms to the norms of officialdom, he will definitely be promoted next.
No one expected that Ruihai's integrity would even reach the point of being inhumane and completely disregarding interpersonal relationships.
In this regard, the Jiangnan faction is still one step ahead.
They had been severely beaten in Xingguo County and Jianyi County, and their understanding of Ruihai was obviously much better. They knew clearly that Ruihai was truly honest and incorruptible, even to the point of being harsh in this situation.
Under such circumstances, if a normal inspector is sent, Ruihai will definitely lose.
"well!"
Seeing that Jianyi was within reach, Zhang Mingtu took off the water talisman that he had drawn on the cinnabar talisman paper with a mixture of demonic menstrual blood and the corresponding amount.
He slowly rose from the water, and whenever he had time, he would travel hundreds of miles to Jiujiang County to slay demons and monsters, and then he had to hurry to Jianyi County to worry about Ruihai's affairs.
Zhang Mingtu felt that he was too busy and couldn't stop.
"I've been so worried about the empire!"
Zhang Mingtu sighed heavily and thought carefully. After signing in at the Jinyiwei residence, he did not leave immediately.
The Inspector has not come down yet. I heard that it is still some distance away from Jiangzhou, but it will be very quick if we actually get there. After all, Jiangzhou has extremely developed waterways, and it will be even faster with the corresponding water-traveling talisman.
"We have to solve this problem for Ruihai, otherwise it will be troublesome."
