Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 408 Secret Battle

"Tell me about the details of when your comrades in the sub-bureau were attacked, the more specific the better." Walking into the back room of the affairs sub-bureau, Luo said softly, "If you think there are other unusual things, you can also tell us."

"Ah...yes." Kong Liang hastened to be cautious—by the way, although these two people were not wearing uniforms, they should both be senators from the Privy Council, and the other was a demon. Age and gender cannot be used as a measure of strength. standard. Even if they couldn't control the situation, it wouldn't be too difficult to cover the retreat of the sub-bureau. "It's like this... We received a call from the General Administration, requesting to find a way to alleviate the uneasiness of the local people, so after we discussed it, we went to several nearby grain shops..."

After quietly listening to the whole process of the incident, Li glanced outside the house, "Have the people who went to other grain shops come back?"

"They're all back." Kong Liang wiped the sweat off his brow, "Although they encountered some doubts, no one attacked them."

Fifteen in total, plus Miss Wei who was sent away, there are sixteen people...Compared to the size of the General Administration, it is insignificant. However, this is already the largest branch of the foreign affairs branch, and the manpower of other affairs branches will only be more stretched. It is indeed impossible to rely on them to control the situation of a city, Li Xin said, this matter has to be done by her and Qingqing.

"Didn't those who opposed you speak out from the beginning?"

"This..." Kong Liang thought about it for a while, "It seems not. When we squeezed from the outer edge of the crowd to the center, someone suddenly objected."

"Is it a temporary idea?" Li Shen thought, "It's not like...every sentence is aimed at the point, even if it is a rumor, the content is also true and false, more like a well-prepared wording."

"What's the meaning?"

"You are under surveillance." Luo said in a soft voice. "At that time, someone should have been watching your every move not far away. These opponents probably came here at the behest, so they could accurately arouse the suspicion in the hearts of the people."

Kong Liang couldn't help shivering, "Then Miss Wei is also them..."

"Nine times out of ten." Li definitely said, "Even if these people are not the masterminds behind the scenes, they have a lot to do with the masterminds. The safe and sound of the teams going to other grain stores also proves that they have no means to monitor all situations at the same time. That's why I selected you who are in front of the Shidan Grain Shop. If you can find this group of people..."

"Li." Luo gently interrupted her suddenly.

"I know." The fox demon looked at Kong Liang, "Let everyone rest on the spot first, and don't go back to the residence today, so as to avoid any accidents."

"Then what should the bureau do next?"

"I'll make an agreement with Miss Luo, and I'll tell you tomorrow morning. If someone asks about your conversation later, just try to ignore it."

Kong Liang is not a fool, he has already realized the meaning of the other party's words, "This monitor...may come from within the team?"

"I don't know, but I can't rule out the possibility. There have been traitors in Baisha County. You'd better pay attention to this issue."

"I...understand." Kong Liang bowed his head.

After the person in charge of the sub-bureau left, Luo gently found a chair and sat down, "If you have to be serious, this person is also within the scope of suspicion."

"Indeed, but his suspicion is relatively light." Li replied.

"Why?"

"Because he immediately sent the news of Miss Wei's attack back to Jinxia. If it is a traitor, delaying the death of his companion can only make the conflict between the two sides more intense."

"...It makes sense," Luo weighed it lightly, "but we still can't take it lightly."

"Don't worry, I'm a fox demon, but before I met Xia Fan, I had been in the human world for many years. Suspicion, guilt, pretense and malice couldn't escape my eyes." Li smiled, " Otherwise, Xia Fan wouldn't ask me to follow you."

"Really?" Luo blinked slightly, "But I heard from him that you were the one who proposed to come, and that no one in Jinxia City is better at this kind of game of cat and mouse than you."

"Ahem...a meaning!" Li Li raised his tail, "If it's Miss Luo, you come alone and face a city that is almost unfamiliar, can you catch the troublemaker behind it?"

"That's true." Luo gently said calmly, "I can see the flow of breath, but I can't tell the truth from good and evil. Magic alone is more than enough to protect people, but it is not enough to calm order."

"That's why I'm the most suitable candidate."

"Miss Li already has an idea? Please enlighten me."

"Hey, we're so familiar, there's no need to call me Miss Li—"

"But you called me Miss Luo just now."

"Uh..." Li suddenly got stuck, she found that Luo Qingqing is really a very serious person, "I made a slip of the tongue, I won't do it next time."

"Hmm." Luo slightly covered the corners of his mouth, "Then what do you think?"

"Fishing—no, lead the snake out of the hole." Li Zhanya said.

"While they are attacking the branch again? There are only two of you and me, and we have to beware of attacking criminals in the chaotic scene. I'm afraid it's not easy to find out where the instigator is hiding behind."

"We don't need to look for it, just let it come." Li raised his hands and rolled.

"Meow—" The latter narrowed his eyes, with a look of wanting to rub his face.

Luo lightly came to a sudden realization, "So that's why you took Rolling on the road together. It can follow the murderer, but what if there is more than one person on the other side?"

"No matter how many thugs there are, they are definitely not as many as the wild cats in Baihe City." Li put the roll on the ground, "Go... go and gather your subordinates now, I need their help."

"Meow Ga!" Gun Gun licked the back of Li's hand, and then ran out of the room.

...

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky turned slightly pale, a new round of grain grabbing had begun.

The news of a riot at the Shidan Grain Store and the looting of the store's grain spread throughout the city in just one night. Buying food and dying, who can guarantee that their rations can last until the storm passes?

This mentality has also further contributed to the rise in food prices. Outside the shops that are still open today, the price signs have tripled. Even so, there are more people who come to buy food than yesterday! The dark stream of people not only crowded the street, but also flowed several feet away. In order to prevent the riot from being damaged, the store even specially dispatched a team of private soldiers with spears and sticks to guard the door, and no one was allowed to approach the store.

At this time, people from the Office of Affairs also arrived near the grain shop. They set up tables, erected billboards, and shouted at the people—"Folks! I have good news for you! Jinxia City The rescue team has already set off and will arrive at Baisha City tomorrow afternoon!"

"If you have surplus food in your family, please don't participate in this looting! It will do you no good except being extorted of a large sum of money! The Jinxia City Affairs Bureau guarantees that it will advance and retreat with the residents of Baisha City! I repeat, relief The team is already on the way, and the food will be delivered soon!"

...

"Master Tanshou, those people are here again."

In an inconspicuous private house, the Pelican also got the news that the branch office was re-operating.
