Lin Youxie did not visit in person. The one who came was a middle-aged man dressed neatly and cleanly, with his hair tied back meticulously. Judging by his habit of scanning his surroundings with sharp eyes, he should also be a Green Tag, but there was no tag on his waist, so it was unknown what rank he was.

He came bearing a brocade box, only saying that his surname was Lin, with no further introduction.

Jiang Wang also didn’t press for details.

He didn’t care how much legacy the famous constable Lin Kuang had left for Lin Youxie.

However, the completeness of the information in the brocade box still surprised Jiang Wang.

There were three booklets in the brocade box.

The first booklet recorded the history of Liangshang Tower, starting from the sect’s founder all the way to today, the Year 3919 of the Daoist Calendar. Any important event during this period was recorded in detail. What happened specifically, what impact it had… Many pieces of information even the current Tower Lord of Liangshang Tower might not know. But in this booklet, it was no secret at all.

The control of the Great Qi royal court over the large and small sects within its borders was simply beyond Jiang Wang’s imagination!

No wonder they could be ordered around and conscripted at will.

No wonder the grievances between the major sects were often resolved through reporting to the authorities, and private fights were rare.

Viewed in this light, these sects within the Qi territory, although they bore the name of sects, were nothing more than another form of official yamen. They were not comparable to forces like the East King Valley or the Diaohai Tower.

The second booklet in the brocade box contained Chu Mi’s information. This booklet of information should have been recently compiled. Unlike the old feel of the first booklet, this one still had the fresh scent of ink.

The information was very detailed, including Chu Mi’s master, his disciples, and his family—

His master had died in the Maze before him, at the hands of the sea race. His disciples had died even earlier, before they even went to the Maze. As for his family… Chu Mi had always presented himself as a cunning villain with all five poisons. No one in the entire Liangshang Tower knew he had a family, perhaps even his master didn’t know. But the Green Tag side had relevant records.

Chu Mi had a wife and son, both ordinary people, living in an ordinary small town in Baolong Prefecture. This was far from Qingtou Prefecture, where Liangshang Tower mainly operated. (Liangshang Tower had no fixed sect headquarters, and its organization was relatively loose due to its poor reputation.)

This record made Jiang Wang secretly shocked. For an unknown figure like Chu Mi, the Patrol Office had such detailed information, digging so deep into his background. What about other people with names and reputations? Even… himself?

The third booklet detailed the entire case of Chu Mi being sent to the Maze to atone for his sins, the full story of the case, and all the hidden details were clearly laid out.

These three booklets stacked up were a thick pile, recording a person’s life.

It could be seen that Lin Youxie had truly put thought into Jiang Wang’s casual “request” to retreat three paces. She didn’t want to take advantage—anyway, she had put in a lot of effort and was seriously repaying him. As for whether he needed information to this level of detail, that was his own business.

Jiang Wang made no comment on this, just put away the brocade box and said to the middle-aged man named Lin, “I have received the information. Please convey my thanks to Constable Lin.”

The man looked at him calmly: “Is there anything insufficient or incomplete? I can help you supplement it at any time.”

Jiang Wang shook his head: “No. I am very satisfied.”

“That’s good.” The man said as he walked out without dragging his feet: “Please stay.”

It seemed that both sides had reached an agreement on maintaining distance.

So Jiang Wang stopped and did not see him off.

The steward of this detached manor came forward and asked politely: “Young Master, who is this person? So arrogant.”

Everyone in the manor knew that Jiang Wang and Chongxuan Sheng were as close as brothers. Especially after Chongxuan Sheng gained the upper hand in the competition for the family head position, he often stayed at the Marquis Bowang Manor to strengthen his heir status. In this detached manor, Jiang Wang could almost be considered another master.

Jiang Wang smiled: “He is not a big shot. He is just from a background above a Fourth-Rank Green Tag. What, do you want to teach him a lesson?”

“How could I have that ability?” The steward shrank his neck and retreated to the side dejectedly.

Relying on the Chongxuan family, these people inevitably became somewhat arrogant. But no matter what, he wouldn’t dare to say that he didn’t take a constable with a rank above Fourth-Rank Green Tag seriously.

Jiang Wang casually gave a light tap and then said: “Prepare a carriage. I need to go to Qiuyang Prefecture.”

The steward was quite efficient in handling things and immediately went to make arrangements. In less than a quarter of an hour, a lavishly decorated carriage was parked in front of the detached manor.

Jiang Wang didn’t actually like such ostentatious carriages, but he didn’t say anything, got into the carriage, and left the manor directly.

His trip out, of course, was to deal with Chu Mi’s affairs. To meet Chu Mi’s wife and son and see what he could do.

Chu Mi’s wife and son were in Baolong Prefecture, which was adjacent to Qiuyang Prefecture.

And Qiuyang Prefecture was where the Chongxuan family’s ancestral home was located.

Jiang Wang chose to go to Qiuyang Prefecture under the pretext of helping Chongxuan Sheng burn incense at the family’s ancestral temple. He planned to find an opportunity to secretly visit Baolong Prefecture after arriving at the Chongxuan family.

The reason for such trouble was that Chu Mi certainly didn’t want anyone to know the whereabouts of his wife and son. Chu Mi had hidden it all his life, letting his wife and son live ordinary lives, which naturally had his considerations. Now that he was dead, Jiang Wang absolutely would not allow himself to leak this news in the name of goodwill.

He didn’t know what day it was today.

Jiang Wang had stayed in the Xiashan Detached Manor to cultivate for several days, with no visitors and no disturbances.

Today he finally made a move, but the carriage was stopped before it could even leave Linzi after leaving the Xiashan Detached Manor.

“Young Master, someone is requesting an audience,” the coachman’s voice sounded outside the curtain.

Jiang Wang temporarily stopped cultivating, and with a slight lift of his finger, the cloth curtain was rolled up by a wisp of breeze.

Since obtaining the divine ability of Buzhou Wind, he had also begun to devote some energy to cultivating wind element Daoist techniques and using them when he had time. This was not because he was greedy for more, but to better utilize his divine abilities.

After all, the Buzhou Wind integrated into the Killing Nail was already stronger than the Samadhi True Fire.

Standing beside the carriage, slightly bent and reserved, was a tall man.

Jiang Wang had no impression of this person at all. It wasn’t until he saw those hands with abnormally large bone structures that he vaguely remembered that this person was Yan Er, the Overturning Sea Hand, who was known as the number one Rising Dragon in Linhai.

When Jiang Wang was in the Rising Dragon realm, this person, along with those so-called Pingxi Double Fiends, was still qualified to exchange blows with Jiang Wang.

As for now…

His current posture of bowing and waiting said it all.

Jiang Wang didn’t deliberately slight him and asked directly: “What is it?”

Yan Er clasped his hands and said respectfully: “My Young Master has set up a banquet at the Wen Yu Water Pavilion and would like to invite Young Master Jiang to grace us with your presence.”

Bao Mazi?

Jiang Wang frowned and said lightly: “I need to go out for a trip. If there is anything, let’s talk about it after I return to Linzi.”

With that, the carriage curtain naturally fell.

The coachman pulled the reins, and the well-trained steed began to move forward with small steps.

Yan Er stood by, unwilling to leave without inviting the person. But he didn’t dare to stop the carriage again.

Jiang Wang as of today was not someone he could offend.

Bao Zhongqing came to him, what was it about?

Jiang Wang in the carriage just thought about it casually. Without a clue, he cast it aside.

If Bao Zhongqing really had something to ask him, and came to visit in a proper manner, he might still be willing to talk. As for casually sending a subordinate to invite him, to put it bluntly, he doesn’t have that qualification now.

Furthermore, Chongxuan Sheng had also said that this Bao Mazi was not simple.

Anyone that Chongxuan Sheng is wary of is definitely not easy to deal with.

Let him have whatever thoughts he has!

These people with deep schemes and active minds are hard to figure out anyway. Might as well wait for Chongxuan Sheng to return and let him engage in stratagems with them.

Jiang Wang closed his eyes and let the carriage move forward, while he himself sank into his daily cultivation.
