Chapter 69 Insider "What do you mean?" Zhong Kui didn't understand for a moment, and asked, "Master, are you saying that a group of ghost soldiers took Zhou Mei away within a certain family's restriction?" As he spoke, Zhong Kui's expression became serious. The ghost soldiers of the underworld cannot go out without imperial orders, and cannot be deployed without ghost talismans. Both are indispensable. The ghost soldiers who are able to walk in the world of the living all have the ghost talismans and commands without exception. Such ghost soldiers can naturally walk without hindrance in the restrictions. The most important thing is that even Zhong Kui would not deliberately guard against this. Isn't this a problem? The ghost soldiers of the underworld rescued the criminals from Fengdu and the underworld within Zhong Kui's restriction. This sentence is a bit too niche.
No one would have thought of this, including Zhong Kui. "But it's probably true." Jiang Lin said with a somewhat unpleasant expression: "Not long ago, a group of ghost soldiers passed through Qiantang. We thought it was some action from the underworld, so we didn't inform the City God and handled it as a special matter. But now it seems..." "Hell……" Zhong Kui naturally understood what Jiang Lin meant. "Master, please wait." Zhong Kui closed his eyes, as if communicating with some being. After a moment, he opened his eyes and said with a rather ugly look: "The Underworld's Dispatching Generals Department did not send ghost soldiers to borrow the Qiantang Pass." Jiang Lin frowned when he heard this. There is no record of this in the Underworld's Dispatching Generals Department, so there are only two possibilities. Or, this team of ghost soldiers was ordered by a higher being and skipped the General Dispatching Department. Or, they are ghost soldiers who possess the official seal of the underworld but are not completely under the jurisdiction of the underworld. What Jiang Lin can think of, Zhong Kui can naturally think of as well. "Master, which one do you think is possible?" Zhong Kui looked at Jiang Lin. "Your Excellency already has a guess in your mind, why bother asking me?" Jiang Lin asked back with a smile, but there was no smile in that smile. Because no matter which possibility it is, it represents one thing. There is a ghost in the underworld.
In other words, in this matter, there are certain beings in the underworld who stand on the same front as King Song. "The General's Office needs the Yama Seal to mobilize troops, but there is confusion, and Fengdu Censor will not forgive us." "Therefore, I believe that this group of ghost soldiers did not come from the General Dispatching Division." There is a very clear pattern for the Military Deployment Office to deploy troops. First, a report must be submitted to Fengdu, and the Fengdu Censor will issue an edict. Then Yama will use his seal, and the seal and the edict will go together before the order can be sent to the General Dispatching Office. There are even very strict rules for every soldier, including when they should go out and when they should return. None of these processes can be skipped, and there cannot be any mistakes. He bypassed the process of the Dispatching Generals Office and directly dispatched the ghost soldiers from the underworld headquarters. Such an existence would be an extremely high-ranking god even in Fengdu. For example, the Great General Jiuyuan Shatong can directly issue an edict, hold the Fengdu military talisman, mobilize the Yin soldiers, and even the Five Demons and the Six Cavern Heavenly Demons. Could it be that General Jiuyuan Shatong is on the side of King Song? Stop it. If that's really the case, then Jiang Lin is still a piece of shit. It basically means that the entire Fengdu, and even the Arctic Exorcism Institute, are rotten! This is absolutely impossible. Well, since it's not a problem with the Generals' Office, there is only one possibility. The ghost soldiers of the underworld are not only those under the jurisdiction of the underworld. There is also a considerable number of them that are "semi-independent" from the underworld. "Five Ghost Emperors..." Jiang Lin said a word, his voice was very light, but it made Zhong Kui nod slightly. In addition to being dispatched by the Generals Division, there is another possibility for the Yin soldiers who can be dispatched from the underworld with the right seal, right command and right talisman. Those are the troops under the command of the Five Ghost Emperors, who can bypass the Generals' Dispatch Office. You know, the Five Ghost Emperors have their own offices, in other words, they all have their own private soldiers. The only ones who can leave the underworld properly without going through the Generals' Dispatch Office are the troops under the command of the Five Ghost Emperors. Jiang Lin took a deep breath, things were getting serious. Although Jiang Lin was surprised to find that there was a traitor in the underworld, he was not too shocked. After all, no place is 100% clean. But it actually involved the Five Ghost Emperors, which made Jiang Lin feel outrageous and abstract. "How big is the matter behind this that it actually attracted the five ghost emperors to make arrangements..." Jiang Lin couldn't help but mutter to himself. "uncertain." Zhong Kui is calmer than Jiang Lin, or rather, he knows more about the underworld than Jiang Lin.
“Master, don’t forget that the Five Ghost Emperors can mobilize troops, but they also have generals under their command who can also mobilize troops.” Zhong Kui said in a deep voice: “Originally, even if the generals under the Five Directions Ghost Emperor mobilized troops, it would be impossible to hide it from the Five Directions Ghost Emperor himself.” “But it’s different now.” "The Great Celestial Venerable turned to calamity, and the Purple Star Emperor did not leave the Purple Star Palace. The chain reaction it brought was that the underworld also had fluctuations." "The current Five Ghost Emperors have long been recruited by Fengdu and are busy every day." Jiang Lin heard this and asked, "You mean to say that this group of ghost soldiers might be a general under the command of a ghost emperor who was secretly mobilized by the ghost emperor..." "It's just a possibility." Zhong Kui smiled helplessly and said, "At least this guess is much better than the possibility that a certain Ghost Emperor may be on the side of King Song." Jiang Lin pursed his lips, knowing full well that this possibility was not very high. To be honest, it is somewhat impossible to mobilize the Ghost Emperor's private soldiers without his knowledge. "No matter whether it is a certain Ghost Emperor or a general under the command of a certain Ghost Emperor." Jiang Lin shook his head, put these things aside for the time being, and talked about what was happening at hand. "Why did this group of ghost soldiers take Zhou Mei away?" You know, when Jiang Lin ran into this group of ghost soldiers passing through Qiantang, they had not yet entered the city of Hangzhou. Could it be that the person who mobilized the ghost soldiers at that time had already anticipated today? What is the purpose of taking Zhou Mei away? In Jiang Lin's view, Zhou Mei is a pawn of King Song, a pawn who has no choice but to do many evil things on his own initiative. He is not worthy of pity, nor is he worthy of sighing. As long as he finds an opportunity, he will be struck by the thunder axe. But now it seems that Zhou Mei is more important? Or is it that King Song couldn't control his dirty thoughts and was trying to protect Zhou Mei before there was nothing he could do? "A certain family has summoned Cui Pan and asked him to investigate secretly." Zhong Kui said at this time: "However, the Five Ghost Emperors are relatively independent. You and I are just suspicions, without any evidence. For the time being, we can only proceed in secret." "So, it will be hard to make any progress in the short term." Jiang Lin sighed and said, "It's good that we can check it." "Does the True Lord have any way to capture that group of ghost soldiers?" If he could be caught, even if Jiang Lin saw Zhou Mei with the ghost soldiers with his own eyes, he would directly write to the North Pole and request that the Western Palace Censor be transferred to the underworld to investigate the matter thoroughly. But now, there is no evidence at all, just speculation, which is really against the rules and even more unreasonable. "No." Zhong Kui shook his head helplessly and said, "I have never had military power, and I have never been involved in the affairs of the Yin soldiers. However, a team of Yin soldiers with official seals and official orders can appear anywhere." "Now, we can only wait for news from Judge Cui, and then we can follow the map." "In that case..."
Jiang Lin was not very disappointed, but looked in a certain direction outside Hangzhou, where the West Lake was located. "Princess, the prefect, have already investigated." "The only one left is... the Dragon King of West Lake!" (End of this chapter)
