Madam, please respect my profession.

Chapter 261: Angry Xiao Chu, don’t be afraid, I’m a friendly force!

Chapter 261: Angry Xiao Chu, don’t be afraid... I am a friendly force!

The cold wind was howling and the snow was falling like goose feathers.

Lu Zhan came out of the first floor and soon his head was covered with snow. He stretched out his hand to catch a snowflake and suddenly remembered that today was the 20th day of winter.

The 20th day of winter, November 20th, has officially arrived in winter, and it’s time to eat a bowl of hot dumplings.

When I came to Bian Jing and saw snow, I felt that it was already the coldest time of the year, but in fact, winter had just begun.

"Brother Lu, we'll leave first..."

The two brothers of the Luo family had gloomy faces and regretted not listening to the old man's advice. Today was the 20th day of winter and they were not allowed to travel.

Originally I wanted to give Lu Zhan a welcome party, but I didn't expect that I failed to show off, and instead I accidentally did something for Lu Zhan.

From now on, the two brothers will never have the chance to occupy the First Floor... The two brothers of the Luo family were heartbroken.

"Goodbye, goodbye." Xie Yu always felt that the big man next to him had bad intentions. He was afraid that the other party coveted his beauty, so he said goodbye and ran away without stopping.

Zhu Fei followed closely behind.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Zhan and Chu Wantang were the only ones left on the long street.

Chu Wantang still maintained her disguise, holding the demon-slaying bag: "Are you sure she is from the Black Water Sect?"

The demon-slaying bag contained white mist, and the reason for the arrest was "disciple of the Black Water Sect" rather than "tax evasion".

"Ji Mengli told her subordinates personally, so she can't be wrong." Lu Zhan looked up at the sky and said, "Let's go to the Demon Suppression Division!"

Lu Zhan was originally invited to dinner by his brother, but unexpectedly he came up with a business achievement. He was very proud of himself and thought it was a good start.

The 20th day of winter is a good time to catch fish, very auspicious!

……

The Demon-Suppressing Division is located in the center of the imperial city. According to the division of Bianjing, it belongs to the inner city where the nobles live.

However, the policies of the Great Zhou were open-minded, there was no curfew, and the distinction between the inner city and the outer city was not very obvious.

"Sir, why are you here at this time?"

When Lu Zhan arrived, Chen Beifang was slacking off in the yard. Suddenly he saw Lu Zhan and his men coming over, and he stood up straight in a hurry.

There are quite a few demon-suppressing masters in the Zishi Division, but most of them are patrolling outside. There are only about ten of them in the Demon-Suppressing Division at this moment.

Under the organization of Chen Beifang, everyone lined up to welcome the arrival of the new boss.

Lu Zhan didn't say much. Returning to the Demon Suppression Bureau was like returning home. He originally thought that some fools would challenge him so that he could make an example of them, but he didn't expect that everyone was so respectful. Lu Zhan could only send everyone to do their own things and took Chu Wantang to the front hall.

Looking at Lu Zhan's back, more than a dozen demon-suppressing masters breathed a sigh of relief.

"Beifang, how did we behave just now?" The team leader named Cheng Yu asked in a low voice, "We should behave respectfully, right?"

There are about fifty or sixty demon masters in Zishi Division, both big and small. After the previous director retired due to illness, everyone thought that the director would be selected from within the department, but they did not expect that the superiors would directly transfer him from other places.

When they first heard the news, the demon-suppressing masters had their own thoughts and were somewhat resentful, thinking that the actions of their superiors were inappropriate. However, they dared not interfere with the decision of the Grand Master, they would only disobey the new boss.

But when the appointment order was officially issued and they knew that the new boss was Lu Zhan, this group of people were instantly convinced.

It’s not that Lu Zhan wins people over with his virtue, but that people know how to seek benefits and avoid harm.

Are we going to let them challenge Lu Zhan? Isn't that asking for trouble?

Hearing that Lu Zhan had a strange temper, they were worried that Lu Zhan, the new official, would dislike them and give them a slap in the face.

Chen Beifang affirmed: "He performed very well. Don't worry too much. When Lord Lu met the Grand Master yesterday, I led the way. I feel that he is easy to get along with. As long as everyone doesn't do anything stupid, he will definitely not die."

Cheng Yu immediately understood: "Don't worry... We are young and energetic, but we are not stupid."

Everyone quickly expressed their opinions: "Indeed."

It is said that when Lu Zhan came from the East China Sea, he encountered the Crane Clan robbing on the road. Lu Zhan killed the Crane Clan elder on the spot, and everyone thought that the matter ended like this.

Who could have thought that the Grand Master would personally visit the Crane Tribe the next day. To this day, no one knows what happened to the Crane Tribe that day.

All we know is that when the Grand Master returned, he was wearing a crane cloak with thousands of auspicious patterns.

Unless one is stupid, no one will go against Lu Zhan at this critical moment. Even if one is not convinced in his heart, he has to say it out loud.

……

The green tiles and red eaves are covered with white snow, and the pine trees in the courtyard are evergreen, hidden in the white snow.

Lu Zhan came to the front hall and sat down. He stared at Xiao Chu and asked, "Why did you dress like this to enter the brothel?"

It was not convenient to ask outside just now, but now there are only two people in the front hall, and there is a supporting formation to prevent outsiders from eavesdropping, so any topic is suitable for discussion.

"Same as you, checking taxes." Chu Wantang's face turned red. She should have been bright and beautiful, but now she looked like a rough man. It was hard to describe her blushing face.

Lu Zhan had a subtle look on his face and spoke in a long tone: "Oh...I see."

His sarcastic tone made Xiao Chu even more angry. She scolded: "Although I don't have an actual job in the Monster Suppression Department, I have been involved in many matters of the Monster Suppression Department. The monsters on the first floor are evading taxes, so I naturally have to go and take a look."

"Why are you so excited? I told you, I believe you." Lu Zhan said seriously.

He said he believed it, but the smile on his face was an unconcealable mockery.

Chu Wantang stamped his feet to show his dissatisfaction and pointed his finger at the demon-suppressing bag: "Are you going to try this case or not?"

"Hand in hand, hand in hand... Act according to the plan. You play the good cop and I play the bad cop." Lu Zhan did not continue teasing Xiao Chu. It was mainly because Xiao Chu's appearance made him feel uncomfortable. He always felt that flirting with a man was quite disgusting.

Bai Wu’s matter is still the most important.

According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if a person commits tax evasion for the first time, he only needs to pay the tax and there is no need for detention, but Bai Wu has a special identity.

The Black Water Sect's liaison person in Bian Jing is not an important character, but Ji Mengli can clearly call out Bai Wu's name, which shows that Bai Wu has a strong presence in the Black Water Sect.

In this case, Lu Zhan had other plans.

He had just arrived in Bian Jing. Although he had the title of hall master, he had no people under his command. It would be difficult for him to accomplish anything in the Black Water Sect, which was full of traitors and liked to stab their brothers in the back. He needed to infiltrate the other side, and the white fog was an opportunity.

Seeing that Lu Zhan stopped teasing her, Chu Wantang's resentment gradually disappeared, and she raised her hand to release the white mist.

The white mist lingered and transformed into a graceful and voluptuous oiran in a moment.

"Master Lu, what do you mean? We have already paid the taxes we owe and the fines, so why do you still want to arrest me?" Bai Wu argued. She was familiar with the laws of the Great Zhou, otherwise she would not dare to take advantage of loopholes so openly.

Lu Zhan said with a straight face: "If you were just evading taxes, I would not have brought you here. Think about it carefully. Is there anything else you want to confess?"

Bai Wu's heart skipped a beat. In addition to being an oiran, she was also the liaison of the Black Water Sect's Bian Jing Division, and was usually responsible for gathering and delivering information.

This is also the main reason why she was able to become the oiran smoothly...it was all thanks to the Black Water Sect's marketing for her.

But this matter was top secret, and very few people knew about it. She was also very careful every time she contacted the Black Water Sect... According to common sense, there was no reason to expose it... Bai Wu's heart was in turmoil, but her face, as charming as a flower, remained calm.

"I don't understand what you are saying, sir."

“I don’t understand?” Lu Zhan glanced at Chu Wantang and said, “You speak.”

Chu Wantang coughed dryly and said fiercely, "We have received news that you are a disciple of the Black Water Sect. The evidence is irrefutable! If you are unwilling to confess, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

After saying this, Chu Wantang's eyes rolled around, and he suddenly felt happy.

No wonder the master likes to go out and hang out after disguising himself. Xiao Chu didn’t understand it before, but now she immediately understands it.

It is a very comfortable feeling to be able to show off one's power without affecting one's reputation.

After hearing this, Bai Wu, who had just been making a confident argument, was stunned for a moment. She shouted loudly, "Unfair!"

"Where is the Bian Jing rudder of the Black Water Sect!" Xiao Chu waved his fist, very excited.

"It's unfair!" Bai Wu still cried out for justice. She wanted to find a lawyer... No, she knew that everything she said would be used as evidence in court. Before she could come up with a solution, crying out for justice was the appropriate way.

Chu Wantang was not good at interrogation. Seeing Bai Wu sticking out his neck and crying out for injustice, she thought for a moment, then untied the belt around her waist and prepared to beat Bai Wu.

The material of the man's belt is flexible, so give him a beating first.

Unexpectedly, Bai Wu was shocked when he saw her actions: "I didn't expect that the dignified Demon Suppression Bureau would actually use such a low-class method as seduction. I mean, with your appearance, who can you seduce? If Lord Lu comes, maybe it will be of some use."

Bai Wu has been in the human world for a long time and has a good grasp of people's hearts. She can see that Chu Wantang is not good at interrogation, so she said this to disturb Chu Wantang's mind.

As Bai Wu expected, Xiao Chu was indeed angry.

But what Bai Wu didn't expect was that Chu Wantang dropped his corset, suddenly drew out his sword, and stabbed her shoulder blade: "Do you deserve to be seduced by Lord Lu? I advise you to tell the truth. If you don't, I will strip you naked and hang you at the city gate. Aren't you an oiran? I guess you don't mind, right?"

Xiao Chu frowned, she did not look good in disguise, but what did this have to do with seduction?

This woman actually still covets Lu Guanqi, she is simply like a toad wanting to eat swan meat!

The more Xiao Chu thought about it, the more unhappy he became. He raised his hand and stabbed Bai Wu's other shoulder blade with his sword: "Tell me or not?!"

"Ah!" Bai Wu screamed suddenly. She covered her shoulders and stared at Chu Wantang.

Really? Are you serious?

Are the people in the Demon Suppression Bureau so unreasonable? They just arrived at the place and they just started fighting?

According to normal procedures, shouldn't they use verbal threats first, such as "I'll kill your whole family if you don't tell me" or something like that... instead of just taking action directly?

And even if you do it, you have to give the criminal time to react. Who would stab him twice in a row?

Bai Wu was stunned, shocked by Chu Wantang's actions.

Lu Zhan blinked. He knew that Xiao Chu was decisive in killing people. Now it seemed that the rich woman was not only decisive in killing people, but also had a violent heart deep down.

However, his original plan with Xiao Chu was for one to play the good guy and the other to play the bad guy. He was worried that Xiao Chu wouldn't perform well. But now it seems that his worry was unnecessary, as Xiao Chu sang the bad guy very well!

Bai Wu is the contact person of the Black Water Sect, this is a foregone conclusion, and giving her two swords would not count as forcing her to confess.

However, looking at Xiao Chu's posture, Lu Zhan was afraid that she would stab Bai Wu to death, so he hurriedly said, "If you confess now, you can still be considered to have made meritorious contributions. Otherwise, I will strip you naked and hang you for three days, and then throw you into the prison of the Demon Suppression Department for two months. The prison of the Demon Suppression Department has many tricks, and the ways they torture people are beyond your imagination."

Bai Wu frowned, countless thoughts gathered in her mind, and finally she looked up suddenly.

That's not right... The Demon Suppression Division follows procedures during interrogations. They won't use violence right away. It's useless to force a confession out of someone by torture.

But this demon-suppressing master dared to stab her without saying a word, not caring at all whether it would lead to public opinion that she had been tortured into confessing. This can only mean one thing...

She's exposed!

The Demon Suppression Bureau has evidence to prove that she is a member of the Black Water Sect, so they have no scruples.

As for the question just now, it was probably to give her a chance to confess and be lenient...

Bai Wu felt a chill in her heart. She had been sure that she would not be exposed, but now she thought that there is no wall that is impenetrable.

Bai Wu suddenly made many associations and was unsure in her heart. She said, "Wait a minute! Just ask whatever you want to know. I am indeed a disciple of the Black Water Sect!"

She, Bai Wu, is a disciple of the Black Water Sect, not a disciple of the Demon Suppression Division, so there is no need for her to be so strong-willed.

"You just said no, but now you say yes. How can I know which of your words is true?" Chu Wantang said seriously, "Let's throw her into prison. If she still insists on her opinion after she comes out, it means that what she said is true."

Bai Wu's beautiful eyebrows twitched and her delicate body trembled violently.

Can you do this?

Others use torture to extract confessions. I confessed voluntarily, and you still want to use torture to verify the truth? Bai Wu said hurriedly: "Just now was just now, now is now, ask whatever you want to ask, I will tell you everything... Stop hitting me!"

Lu Zhan and Chu Wantang looked at each other and saw smiles in each other's eyes.

This is the correct way to be a disciple of the Black Water Sect.

What about iron-willed and unwavering loyalty? Could that be the slogan of the Black Water Sect?

If the disciples of the Black Water Sect had been a little tougher, would the Black Water Sect have developed into this state? It only has the title of the first demon sect in the Great Zhou, but in fact its overall strength is extremely poor.

Chu Wantang finished playing the white-faced role, and it was Lu Zhan's turn to play the red-faced role.

"Don't worry, I am not an unreasonable person. As long as you cooperate well, I can reduce your sentence." Lu Zhan said in a gentle tone: "Where is the Bian Jing Rudder located?"

"I really don't know. I am the lover of Jiang Yannian, the leader of Bian Jing Du. Whenever I have news, I contact him. But Jiang Yannian is very cautious and doesn't put all his eggs in one basket. At present, there are only a few small fish in the "Bian Jing Du". The core disciples are scattered outside."

In a sense, interrogation and forced confession are the same as the fairy in distress. It is very difficult to overcome at first, but once you succeed once, it will happen again, and the rest will be easy.

"What is the Black Water Sect planning in Bianjing? Tell us everything you know."

"Actually, I didn't do anything..." Bai Wu felt a little guilty and said weakly, "This year, Bianjing has cracked down on evil forces, and the Bianjing rudders are all recuperating. At most, they go to brothels without paying, eat without paying, etc.... If we talk about large-scale activities, there have been none this year... I have only been here for a year, and I don't know about the previous things..."

Chu Wantang scolded, "You're lying! Could it be that the Black Water Sect went to so much trouble to establish the Bianjing Rudder in Bianjing just to eat without paying?"

"The main thing is that you go to a brothel without paying." Bai Wu reminded.

"Sir, I think she is lying. Why don't you hand her over to me? I will take her around the jail and she will behave herself." Xiao Chu was acting like a drama queen and didn't believe what Bai Wu said.

Lu Zhan said with a straight face, "Whether she is lying or not, I will make my own judgment! Go get the ink pad and ask her to sign and seal it later."

Xiao Chu left angrily.

After Xiao Chu left, Lu Zhan hurriedly helped Bai Wu up, his face full of grief: "I'm sorry for making you suffer!"

Bai Wu was shocked, tears welled up in his eyes, and he trembled as he said, "You...you are..."

"I'm a friendly soldier!"
