An invisible shadow disappeared into the Jiujiang government office. Even though many people were coming and going, no one noticed that the hidden shadow had disappeared into the Jiujiang government office.
The shadow seemed to be very familiar with Jiujiang Prefecture. Taking advantage of the darkness, it turned around and around in Jiujiang Prefecture and soon found an office space where the lights were still on.
The shadow in the darkness hid behind the scenes, quietly watching the person working.
It was not until the man put down the brush in his hand, rubbed his eyes, stretched his body, and let out a comfortable moan that the shadow jumped in the firelight.
"You are truly dedicated to your duties!"
The figure buried among the documents trembled for a moment, but quickly regained his composure.
"This is the government office. You are so bold and reckless. Aren't you afraid of being exposed by coming here?"
The middle-aged man behind the document only revealed his figure at this time. He was a thin middle-aged scholar with a three-foot-long beard under his chin.
It was none other than the staff and chief clerk that Ruihai had always kept by his side.
At the same time, he is also controlled by Yuan Bowen, and has to transfer his talents to Ruihai's wife every day.
"I came here to confirm something."
In the darkness, the shadow flickered and danced with the candlelight, leaving no trace or breath.
"I want to know who issued the orders for the recent transfers of the Jinyiwei and the Liushenmen? Who issued the relevant personnel transfers a few days before Blood Blade Hongji was arrested?"
"Didn't you already know all this? These were all orders given by Xue Cheng, the captain of the Imperial Guard."
The shadows in the darkness grew thicker, and the flickering candlelight flickered.
"I want to know who had contact with Xue Cheng during those days, especially those on our side."
"That was your communication. I don't have any record of it."
The shadow hidden in the darkness became more and more depressed. After several consecutive defeats, he was 100% sure that there was a spy among them.
But at the same time, Hara Hirofumi was certain that he himself was not a spy, so the spies must be Doihara Genji and the controller of Yihongyuan.
But now, after suffering continuous casualties, he no longer has anyone available around him. Even if he knows that one of them might be a spy, he does not have the ability to turn against them.
He glanced at the Jinyiwei spy hiding in a tree several feet away. Even though he had tried his best to hide, he could still be seen by Yuan Bowen. His eyes were fixed on this courtyard and on the chief clerk.
"Besides me, who else has come into contact with you?"
When he asked this question, Yuan Bowen already had murderous intentions in his heart.
"He must die, and the other two can no longer be trusted. They need to be reported to the Empire and have them transferred back for isolation and investigation."
"Even the spies I controlled with witchcraft have been exposed. The problem here is already very serious."
"Besides you, I haven't communicated with anyone else. The insect you put on me should be able to sense it."
Yuan Bowen sensed the mind-controlling insect and nodded slightly.
In the darkness, shadows flickered, and the next moment the flickering candlelight in the room returned to calm.
The chief clerk, who was highly valued by Rui Hai, stood there in a daze for a moment, his eyes becoming blank. Like a puppet, he took out a three-foot white silk from his locker.
Outside the house, an invisible evil spirit flowed, permeating the deep and shallow part of the room. It did not do anything else, but just covered the eyes of the Jinyiwei.
…
"What? The chief clerk is dead?"
Inside the Jinyiwei station, Xue Cheng was filled with shock and confusion.
The white-faced and beardless eunuch from the East Factory in front of him also had a frown on his face, looking quite ugly.
He took the whole thing upon himself and mobilized many Jinyiwei to cooperate with his investigation.
I was just about to play the long game to catch a big fish, but somehow something went wrong and I left no trace.
Before they could do anything else, the chief clerk hanged himself in the family, leaving no trace at all.
No, it cannot be said that no corresponding traces were left.
There were still some traces left in the stomach of the prefect's wife. The poisonous insect used by the chief clerk was a special talent poison.
If a person has a lot of talent, cultivating such a poisonous insect can make his thinking more agile and his body stronger.
For many people in Yunzhou, this poisonous insect is extremely beneficial.
It can even be said that this is a poisonous insect that many scholars desire, and it is very likely to make a scholar stand out.
It was precisely because this poisonous insect was extremely beneficial that the imperial dragon energy did not interfere too much with Ruihai's child.
However, if the poisonous insect is not nourished by the corresponding energy after it is born, it will devour people's energy and blood due to its lack of energy, making people weak and sick, and they will die quietly soon after.
Whether the poisonous insects are beneficial or harmful, they all have a strange and evil attitude and are never neutral and peaceful. Therefore, they have always been criticized as evil.
"Forget it. I will continue investigating this matter. I have already collected the relevant evidence and the remains of the Talent Gu and will send them to Kyoto. I will never forget Captain Xue's contribution."

"If Captain Xue has any relevant clues later, I hope you can communicate with me."
"It should be so, it should be so!"
