Chapter 89: Monk’s Identity Revealed

More than a dozen Jinyiwei rushed into the backyard, called out the people in the cafeteria and the dormitory, and then began to search the rooms one by one.

Hua Changxi, Manager Qin and others stood together, watching the Jinyiwei rummaging through the drawers and throwing things around in the house.

After searching for more than half an hour and finding nothing, the Jinyiwei walked towards Hua Changxi and others with a sullen face and escorted them to the front yard.

In the front yard, all the female servants from the Sixth Bureau stood against the wall with fear on their faces. When Hua Changxi and others came over, they were also pushed over to stand.

When passing by the ditch, Hua Changxi noticed a fluctuation of spiritual energy on the shore, and his eyes flashed.

"Sir, nothing was found."

The Jinyiwei who led the team to the backyard walked up to a tall middle-aged man and bowed to report the situation of the backyard search.

The middle-aged man swept Hua Changxi and the others with a sharp gaze and was silent for a moment: "Let them take out everything they have."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Jinyiwei immediately took action, urging the servants to put down everything they were carrying on the ground.

The female servants in the Sixth Bureau had no choice but to do as they were told.

"Ah, what are you doing?"

A female servant screamed in surprise.

When everyone looked in the direction of the sound, they saw the Jinyiwei searching people.

"Crack~"

The Jinyiwei slapped the female servant who was resisting and shouting, knocking her to the ground.

Half of the maid's face instantly became red and swollen, with blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. She lay on the ground trembling all over, not daring to make any sound.

When the other female servants saw her miserable condition, they could only grit their teeth in humiliation and dared not resist at all when they were searched.

Seeing this scene, Hua Changxi's face darkened. When another young female servant was about to be searched, he walked over and grabbed the Jinyiwei's hand.

"We are not criminals. We are just cooperating with your search. Please stop."

Hua Changxi's appearance stunned all the Jinyiwei.

When the Jinyiwei are investigating a case, even high-ranking officials of the imperial court have to obey their orders. How dare a small servant come out to stop them? How bold is he?
Hua Changxi looked at the middle-aged man who was leading the group and said, "If you suspect that any of us are hiding something, you can just find a woman to search us. I think everyone present here has mothers, wives, and daughters at home, so why do you have to humiliate us like this?"

The middle-aged man Yin Jianxiong looked at Hua Changxi with scrutiny. After becoming the governor, he led the team to handle cases, and he never met anyone who dared to stand up and resist. Today he actually met one, and she was a young girl. He was a little not used to it.

He was very curious, where did this little servant get the courage to resist the Jinyiwei?

Seeing that Yin Jianxiong didn't say anything, the Jinyiwei who wanted to show his face immediately scolded Hua Changxi: "You think you are royal branches and jade leaves, what's wrong with searching you? Jinyiwei is investigating the case, you just have to bear it."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand towards Hua Changxi's chest with ill intentions.

When Hua Changxi saw this, murderous intent surged in his heart. He grabbed the Jinyiwei's hand and twisted it.

"Click~"

The sound of breaking bones was heard, and the next moment, a scream like a pig being slaughtered shocked everyone.

Under the incredulous gazes of the Jinyiwei, Hua Changxi shook off the Jinyiwei and threw him several meters away, then looked directly at Yin Jianxiong.

"Sir, I have heard about the Jinyiwei's style of handling cases, but I am very curious. You are so reckless. Aren't you afraid that you will get into trouble one day?"

Hearing these threatening words, Pang Shaoyu looked at Hua Changxi with admiration.

This is the first time in my life that I have seen someone dare to threaten my uncle in front of him.

This young lady is amazing!
Yin Jianxiong looked at his subordinate whose arm was broken, and looked at Hua Changxi with a more serious look: "I am also curious, aren't you afraid of going to the imperial prison for offending the Jinyiwei?"

Hua Changxi said with a sullen face: "I haven't done anything wrong, you have no right to arrest me."

Yin Jianxiong laughed as if he had heard a joke: "The Royal Guards don't need a reason to arrest someone."

Hua Changxi said coldly: "Really? Then what do you rely on? Force? If you rely on that, you really can't catch me."

Yin Jianxiong narrowed his eyes and said, "I understand. You want to say that you are very powerful, right? But no matter how powerful you are, Jinyiwei insists on collective punishment when handling cases."

Hearing this, Hua Changxi's face darkened completely, and the murderous intent in his heart surged out. He said without any warmth: "You have family too."

If anyone else dared to threaten his family, Yin Jianxiong would definitely draw his sword immediately, but at this moment, after feeling the murderous intent emanating from Hua Changxi, he dared not speak a word.

Having lived on the edge of a knife for many years, he is very sensitive to murderous intent. He can quickly distinguish who he can fight and who he should avoid.

The little girl in front of him made him lose the courage to draw his sword.

This discovery made Yin Jianxiong extremely shocked.

Just as Hua Changxi and Yin Jianxiong were in a silent confrontation, hurried footsteps were heard outside the gate of the Sixth Bureau.

After a while, Eunuch Jia led the way, followed by Eunuch Lu and Steward Leng, and more than ten people came in a mighty force.

"When I came here, I was wondering who was causing such a big fuss. It turned out to be Yin Zhenfu."

Yin Jianxiong was secretly relieved at the arrival of Eunuch Jia and his party. He quickly turned his gaze away from Hua Changxi and looked at Eunuch Jia.

"The elixir was lost on Second Street. Does Eunuch Jia know about this?"

Eunuch Jia nodded: "We have heard about it."

Yin Jianxiong: "The thief's trace disappeared in the Miscellaneous Hall, which means that the thief is either from the Miscellaneous Hall, or he hid the elixir in the Miscellaneous Hall."

"I was ordered to search, but I didn't expect that there were hidden talents in the errand hall. Someone actually dared to stop the Jinyiwei from investigating the case. Eunuch Jia really has a lot of talented people under his command."

When Eunuch Jia came in, he saw Hua Changxi confronting Yin Jianxiong.

He was not unhappy about this at all. The tougher Hua Changxi was, the more beneficial it would be for him.

Seeing that Eunuch Jia did not respond and did not reprimand the female servant who prevented the Jinyiwei from handling the case, Yin Jianxiong's eyes flashed.

Hua Changxi looked at Eunuch Jia's reaction and became more alert.

The more tolerant Eunuch Jia is towards her, the bigger his ambitions become.

What exactly does he want to use me for?
Did he know that he was a monk?
It shouldn't be.

Yin Jianxiong knew that Eunuch Jia had some background, so he didn't want to go too far and mentioned that he wanted to search the belongings of the female servant in the Sixth Bureau.

Eunuch Jia immediately pointed at Steward Leng and said, "The Sixth Division is full of women, so it's not good for the Royal Guards to be involved. Why don't we let her do the body search?"

"no need!"

Pang Shaoyu walked in with a sleek black dog. "Sir, we have searched the neighboring courtyards. Let Xiao Hei search this courtyard."

The black dog raised by the Northern Pacification Office was the best at finding things. When Manager Leng saw the black dog start to sniff around in the yard, anxiety flashed in his eyes.

Hua Changxi glanced at her, then quickly looked away, watching the black dog approach step by step the place where the spiritual energy was overflowing.

During this period, Pang Shaoyu wanted to pull the black dog in front of Hua Changxi to scare her, but he didn't expect the black dog to not go there, which made him quite regretful.

"Sir, I found it!"

When Yin Jianxiong saw the black dog digging out a porcelain bottle from the bank of the ditch, his face suddenly lit up and he walked over quickly.

However, Eunuch Jia's expression suddenly became serious.

"Why are there only three pills?" "The thief must have hidden them separately."

Yin Jianxiong looked at Eunuch Jia and said, "Eunuch Jia, the lost elixir was found in the courtyard under your jurisdiction. You should go and see the director. As for the female servant here, I will take her back to the imperial prison for interrogation."

When they heard that they were going to be taken to the imperial prison, many female servants fell to the ground with weak legs.

Eunuch Jia frowned. Although he didn't know what kind of elixir was lost, he knew it was a serious matter because he had asked the director to order martial law, and now only people were allowed to enter but not leave the Medical Department.

"Master Yin, it's not that we don't want you to take these people away, but the higher-ups have told us to clean a batch of medicinal herbs. If you take them all away, there will be no one to clean these herbs."

Then, he lowered his voice and said, “Those medicinal herbs are needed by the Heavenly Department.”

Yin Jianxiong's face darkened: "Eunuch Jia, are you planning to use the Heavenly Department to suppress me?"

Eunuch Jia laughed and said, "How could we have the guts to do that? We are just thinking about you, sir. If we arrest so many people, the prison won't have enough cells to hold them."

Yin Jianxiong snorted coldly: "Eunuch Jia doesn't need to worry about this." As he said that, he waved his hand and ordered the Jinyiwei to arrest the female servants.

Many people have heard of the tortures in the Jinyiwei prison.

Once you enter the imperial prison, even if you don’t die, you will be skinned alive.

The female servants who had not dared to resist before, now knew they were going to be sent to the imperial prison, ignored their fear and cried out that they were wronged.

"We didn't steal the elixir."

“It’s unfair~”

Hua Changxi looked at the Jinyiwei who forcibly arrested the female servants, looked at the Leng steward hiding behind Eunuch Lu, and spoke again: "I know who stole the pills."

Hearing this, the yard fell silent.

Hua Changxi looked at Manager Leng and said, "If you dare to do something, you must dare to take responsibility. It is unreasonable to let innocent people pay for the trouble you have caused."

Everyone followed Hua Changxi's gaze and looked at Manager Leng.

Manager Leng looked at Hua Changxi with cold eyes, but hid behind Eunuch Lu with a pitiful look on his face: "Hua Changxi, how did I offend you that you want to frame me like this?"

Hua Changxi: "Even if you hid the elixir outside the courtyard and didn't give the Jinyiwei an excuse to arrest you, I wouldn't interfere and tell anyone about you."

Steward Leng paused, looking at Eunuch Lu who was trembling and struggling to stay away from her. She was too lazy to pretend, so she pushed Eunuch Lu away and looked at Hua Changxi: "What makes you say that I stole the pills?"

Hua Changxi: "You came to the sixth game today for no reason. You rarely come here on weekdays."

As soon as these words were spoken, the female servants in the sixth bureau echoed them.

Manager Leng sneered: "Just because I came to the sixth game, I am the one who stole the elixir? If you say so, then why should I say that you are the one who stole the elixir?"

As he said this, he smiled at Yin Jianxiong and other Jinyiwei.

"I think you should have seen that this female servant in front of you is not an ordinary person. Why does she have to stay in the servant hall as a small servant when she is good at martial arts and can make medicine as well as the pharmacists of the Ninth Street?"

"Hua Changxi, do you dare to say that you have no other purpose for staying in the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall?"

"Who is the most hidden person in the entire Menial Services Hall? Isn't it you, Hua Changxi?"

Hua Changxi was not distracted by her question and said directly: "In fact, it is very simple to find the person who stole the elixir. The elixir was separated, which means that the person has touched the elixir. If he has touched the elixir, he will definitely be contaminated with the elixir's fragrance."

As he spoke, he looked at the black dog that Pang Shaoyu was holding.

"Isn't your black dog very good at finding things? Let it smell the pill, and it will naturally find the person who stole the pill."

Hearing this, Manager Leng's face changed and he looked at Hua Changxi with a deadly look.

The next moment, everyone looked on in horror as the water in the ditch flew out, turned into sharp arrows, and shot towards everyone.

At the same time, Manager Leng attacked Yin Jianxiong, trying to snatch the pill from his hand.

When Hua Changxi saw the water arrows coming, he quickly pulled out several medicinal herbs with lush branches and leaves from the cart next to him. With a shake of his hand, all the branches and leaves flew out together, like a solid shield, blocking all the water arrows.

On the other hand, as a grandmaster, Yin Jianxiong had never been beaten by anyone in more than ten years, but this time, he was completely crushed.

If Hua Changxi had not stopped the water arrow, causing Manager Leng to be stunned for a moment and giving him a chance to escape, he might have died here today.

"It's you!"

Manager Leng looked at Hua Changxi in astonishment.

When Hua Changxi doesn't use her spiritual energy, others can't detect the fluctuations of her spiritual energy, but once she uses her spiritual power, she can no longer hide it.

After knowing that Hua Changxi was the mysterious monk she was looking for, Manager Leng didn't say a word, didn't ask for the elixir, and turned around and ran away.

Hua Changxi saw it but didn't chase after him.

"Why are you still standing there? Go chase that thief!" Yin Jianxiong shouted anxiously.

Hua Changxi looked at him calmly: "It is your responsibility to arrest the criminal."

Yin Jianxiong choked up, was silent for a while, and then asked, "Are you and that thief monks?"

As the governor of the Northern Pacification Division, he knew about the monks, but he had never come into contact with them. He didn't expect to see two of them with his own eyes today.

Hua Changxi did not respond. She gave the female servants a look, asking them to leave quickly. Then she looked at Eunuch Jia and said, "Eunuch, if there is nothing else, we will leave first."

Eunuch Jia nodded but did not stop him.

He was also shocked that Hua Changxi was a cultivator, but when he remembered that her sister was the direct disciple of the head of Taisu Palace, he no longer found it strange.

Yin Jianxiong did not stop them. After the maids dispersed, he walked over to Eunuch Jia and asked, "Eunuch Jia, who is that maid?"

Eunuch Jia knew that if he didn't give him an explanation, the Jinyiwei would definitely use the matter of Manager Leng to embarrass him, so he whispered: "The head of Taisu Palace has a disciple named Hua Changxin."

Having said this, Eunuch Jia did not say anything else.

Hua Changxi, Hua Changxin, anyone who heard them would know that these two must be sisters.

Yin Jianxiong did not ask any more questions. He had never been in contact with Taisu Palace, but he knew that the emperor attached great importance to Taisu Palace. The current Heavenly Master of Tianshi Mansion was from Taisu Palace.

Hua Changxi, who had walked not far out, heard Eunuch Jia's whisper, paused, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The reason why Eunuch Jia used me was because of Shi Niang!

Taisu Palace.
Hua Changxi didn't know much about these sects, but judging from the appearance of Eunuch Jia, the court should attach great importance to Taisu Palace.

Thinking of the elixir that Shi Niang took home to shape her spirit veins, Hua Changxi curled his lips: "It seems that Shi Niang is doing well in Taisu Palace."

When he returned to his residence and saw Du Ruo looking at him with a complicated expression, Hua Changxi just nodded, then sat cross-legged on the bed, practicing his skills, and his consciousness sank into his dantian.

Seeing that the black flames below the inner elixir seemed to have grown bigger, Hua Changxi frowned.

Just now in the front yard, she really had the urge to kill someone.

Did the black flame fuel her desire to kill? Or was it that her heart was already filled with an infinite desire to kill?
Hua Changxi recalled what happened today. His identity as a cultivator was exposed. He didn’t know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

But if the situation like today happened again, she thought about it seriously and she would still do the same.

What is the purpose of her cultivation? Isn't it to be able to do whatever she wants and be herself? If she has to compromise in the face of the oppression of the Jinyiwei, then what is the point of her cultivation?

But the growth of the black flames made her alert again.

The black flame is fueled by the seven emotions and six desires. The bigger the black flame gets, the more it means her desire to kill is also growing. No matter what, she has to control her desire to kill and not be controlled by desire.
