Chapter 63: The Future of Beiya
!"He grinned, a cruel smirk twisting his lips. Stepping on the surging torrent of chains, he sprang with one bound and shot forward: "Found you!"A person was in mid-air, with waves of a raging tide su...As soon as Jiang Wuyou uttered these words,
The formidable old woman stood up abruptly, her eyes scanning left and right as her aura surged, revealing a heightened sense of alert.
Because...
What Jiang Wuyou called "eldest brother" wasn't the current crown prince, but Changle Palace master Jiang Wuhu.

...but imprisoned in the Qing Shi Palace...the deposed prince, Jiang Wuliang!
The pain that Emperor Qi feels today is unbearable.
It directly led to the destruction of Ku Rong Yuan that year, causing the death of Chong Xuan Fu Tu and indirectly contributing to the birth of the Slaughterer.
But just a little while before, the lingering effects of its influence had already brought down the once-powerful Ju Bao Merchant Association.
There was no way the old woman could not be nervous!
After repeatedly observing the surroundings, she told Jiang Wuyou: “You should pay a visit to him during your leisure time. It's proper and customary. But you shouldn't take his words to heart!”
The old woman was both anxious and afraid: “I shouldn't have spoken to the Palace Master like this, but the past events, one by one, are still vivid in my memory. Even I, an old woman, remember them and it still chills me to the bone. How can you not be more cautious”
Jiang Wuyou gently patted her back in comfort, his voice soft and soothing: "Grandmother, you've watched me grow up since I was a child. If you have anything to say, just say it. There's no need to hold back."
"But," she explained, "I don't concern myself with irrelevant matters. Firstly, Jiang Wang has nothing to do with my elder brother. Secondly, when I mentioned Jiang Wang, my elder brother merely offered a casual comment about him. I already had a good opinion of Jiang Wang's future, and my elder brother simply strengthened that belief. Since I already had an idea in mind, and coincidentally Jiang Wang needed help, what was there to hesitate about"
The old woman's deep wrinkles still held worry: "I'm just worried..."
"You're not the only one who's worried," Jiang Wuyu comforted. "Every word Big Brother said to me, I've pondered over again with Mr. Mo after returning. There shouldn't be any problems. In recent years, Father has become increasingly stern. Even someone like Big Brother hasn't had much room to resist. He's been imprisoned for so many years and hasn't made a single move. The Qingshi Palace is covered in cobwebs and dust. It seems he truly accepts his fate."

The old woman still hesitated: "Although that's true..."
"Ku Rongyuan is dead, Chong Xuan Fu Tu is gone, and Fu Tu's son clearly has animosity towards him. The person imprisoned in Qing Shi Palace right now is a lone soul, his heart as cold as ashes."
Jiang Wuyu said, "Regarding Xu Fang's previous matter, I thought there would be ripples, but in fact, Big Brother just remained silent. I specifically asked Chong Xuan Sheng, but I didn't see any follow-up. It seems that Qing Shi Palace has become stagnant."
“Since the Palace Master understands, I shall stop worrying needlessly.” The old crone bowed and then remained standing.
While Jiang Wuyou continued to walk forward.
She walked alone forward, leaving the martial arts ground, and stepped onto the flower-lined path.
Right before my eyes, that eternally serene face seemed to appear once again.

"Big brother..."
She murmured, “I am so wary of you, yet I trust you so much…”
North of the city, the Imperial Guard Patrol Office.

On the third day of his return to Linzi, Jiang Wang only then found the time to come here and pay his respects.
When he left the Qi realm, he was still on the task of pursuing the Hell's Gate. Because of his contribution to helping Captain Yue Leng catch Qin Guangwang, the King of Hell's Gate, he was promoted to a fourth-rank blue badge catcher.

In hell, the seven great Yama kings assembled and besieged Zhao Xuan in a bustling market square, causing a sensation throughout the Eastern realm. However, they paid a terrible price for this victory. Of the seven Yama kings, five—the Emperor of Song Dynasty, King Bian Cheng, King Tai Shan, King Du Shi, and King Ping Deng—all perished in Qi State. Only King Qin Guang and King Wu Guan escaped with their lives.
Since there was no thorough cleansing, it was natural for the Qi State's Green Badge troops to continue their pursuit. Therefore, Jiang Wang's departure was perfectly legal and reasonable. Moreover, when he returned to Linzi to report back, he would receive a certain stipend - because there were no results, he could only receive the minimum amount corresponding to the time, but it would still be dozens of Dao Yuan stones.
It's not that Jiang Wang becoming the male head of the Qingyang Town in Qi State meant he couldn't leave at will, but going anywhere and doing anything inevitably raised scrutiny issues. It might not have been overly strict, but it would be troublesome nonetheless. Having the task of a "Capture Head" badge on his person could exempt him from such troubles.
His fourth-rank Qingpai was handled by Yue Leng for him, of course there were no problems with the procedures.
So-called "redress," in essence, is just a formality. It's not serious enough for anyone to pursue the matter of hell having no gate.
Of course, the famous detective Jiang Wang didn't come away completely empty-handed. His mission file recorded that in a place called Duofeng Mountain in Zhongyu, he found traces of the Hell's Gate King Chujiang.

This is a completely verifiable fact. Although due to his strength, Captain Jiang wasn't able to pinpoint King Chujiang's whereabouts more precisely, a captain with inner palace cultivation could track down top-tier outer court powerhouses and twice discover the Hell's Gate ruler Yanluo. It truly lives up to its Blue Plate reputation!
Although many captains praised him, Jiang Wang did not take their words seriously.

Human relationships are inescapable everywhere. The reason he was so popular in the powerful capital's Inspection Department wasn't because he truly possessed extraordinary investigative abilities that impressed these old foxes. It was because of the talent he displayed and his friendly relationship with Chong Xuan Sheng.
But it's just that he came to the city patrol office to report for duty and receive some financial aid. Some praised him for having the spirit of a young god catcher, while others said he was the future star of the North Yard...
“The true future of Beiya just happened to walk by.”
"Brother Jiang," Zheng Shangming's eyes were complex.
Years ago, he was tricked by Wen Lianmu and went to follow and investigate Jiang Wang. Luckily, Jiang Wang was cautious and let him go on the spot, preventing Wen Lianmu's scheme from succeeding.
He went to the Marshal's Mansion to seek justice, but fell into another scheme. Thanks to Chong Xuan Sheng’s timely reminder to the Northern Guard Commander Zheng Shi, he avoided becoming a prisoner.
But his pride had been utterly shattered, it wasn't just a slap in the face, but Wang Yiwu stomped on him repeatedly on the ground.
In contrast, Jiang Wang defeated Wang Yi's forces with a single move and became renowned throughout Linzi.
He should have been grateful to Jiang Wang and Chong Xuan Sheng, but due to some unspoken psychological reason, he had never visited them proactively.
Wen Lianmu uses "awkward" to describe his personality, which is quite accurate.
In the end, it was Chong Xuan who took the initiative to request a blue card, thus ending the kindness between the two parties and sparing Zheng Shiji from embarrassment.
After the fact, Zheng Shi mentioned Chong Xuan Sheng many times in front of Zheng Shangming, praising this eldest son of the Chong Xuan family without reservation.
Whether facing Jiang Wang or Chong Xuan Sheng, the once-proud Zheng Shang Ming inevitably paled in comparison.
After the Wang Yiwu incident, he also put down some of his stubbornness and simply left the military. He returned to the capital's patrol department and developed in his own government office where he had the final say.
At this moment, seeing Jiang Wang, his feelings were complex, yet he still took the initiative to greet her, which could be considered a kind of progress.
Jiang Wang escaped the circle of flattering fishermen surrounding him, smiling back and replying, "Zheng brother, your charisma remains as strong as ever."
"I've had my share of hardships, but I haven't achieved much." Zheng Shangming chuckled self-deprecatingly and then asked, "Brother Jiang, are you here to report back"
“Indeed.” Jiang Wang sighed, “I went for a walk, but found nothing.”
"The work of the inspection department is mostly like this, nothing exciting unless it's a major case. But when there are major cases, it's best not to encounter them." Zheng Shangming followed with a sigh, and then said: "Since Brother Jiang has officially taken office in the inspection department, if you need any help in the future, just say so."
As Zheng Shi's only son, he certainly had the right to say such things. But if it were anyone else, he would never have relied on Zheng Shi.

This might be a kind of growth.
But whether there was regret deep in his heart, it is unknown. he felt it was unbearable.He simply turned around, took a few steps forward, and kicked the warehouse door open with one kick!"Damn you!" the Guard Commander roared, flipping over his table, and reac...
