With that, a slight smile crept onto Lu Yang's lips.

"What?"

Chen Yuan subconsciously asked.

"The Clan Extermination Division!"

"The Clan Extermination Division?" Chen Yuan's pupils constricted.

"This is what many forces in the Jianghu call the Sky Patrol Division, because since the establishment of the Sky Patrol Division, the forces that have been destroyed by the Sky Patrol Division, large and small, number at least nearly a thousand.

If you add some officials who betray the imperial court, are corrupt, and engage in bribery, there are even more."

"Since you want to join the Sky Patrol Division, you must be prepared for this. Let the Liu family be your whetstone. After that, you will follow me to the Prefecture City."

Lu Yang tapped the table with his finger, stating calmly.

Chen Yuan's eyes flashed with brilliance:

"Then thank you, Lord Lu. Chen will definitely handle things beautifully."

"Interested in being transferred to my command?"

Suddenly, Lu Yang asked.

"Lord Lu, you..."

"Don't panic, this is bound to happen sooner or later. Inspector Zhang's strength is far beyond ordinary people and he is not far from a breakthrough. Do you know why I came this time?"

"Because Zhang Xuan is about to break through!"

Lu Yang stared at Chen Yuan.

He didn't know why Zhang Xuan, who was always arrogant, would actively invite Chen Yuan to join the Sky Patrol Division, but there must be some reason. Talented people are always welcome.

Chen Yuan frowned, not understanding why Lu Yang suddenly said so much to him. They had only met today, and Lu Yang had even suspected that Chen Yuan was related to Li Mingqi's death.

"After Zhang Xuan breaks through, he may be transferred. Do you want to be transferred with him with your current strength?" Lu Yang continued.

"Your Excellency's news is indeed surprising, but since Inspector Zhang promoted Chen, the decision about Chen's future should be made by Inspector Zhang. However, I still thank you for your appreciation, Lord Lu."

After a moment of silence, Chen Yuan said in a low voice.

Staring at Chen Yuan for a while, Lu Yang laughed:

"Not bad, not bad, no wonder Zhang Xuan actively invited you to join. Never mind, we'll talk about it later. You can come to my command at any time."

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

"By the way, the Sky Patrol Division has another rule: half of all captured spoils will be confiscated, and the other half can be distributed. Be sure to remember this."

Lu Yang instructed.

"Chen understands."

Chen Yuan nodded with a solemn expression.

After that, Lu Yang introduced Chen Yuan to some of the rules within the Sky Patrol Division and then let him go down to prepare. Since Chen Yuan was leading the team this time, his men would not take action.

After Chen Yuan left, the smile on Lu Yang's face gradually faded.

"Your Excellency, why let Chen Yuan take action against the Liu family?"

Several Sky Patrol Guards on the side were somewhat puzzled. Since the Liu family had reached the point of being surrounded by enemies, it naturally had no strength and was just a piece of fat.

Wouldn't it be best for them to take action?

Lu Yang said in a low voice:

"I had some quarrels with Zhang Xuan before. This time, it can be considered my gesture of goodwill. Since Chen Yuan is favored by him, it won't hurt to befriend him. Besides, how many good things can a Liu family have?

If it's really as Chen Yuan said, that many forces are coveting the Liu family, then it's best to give it to others. It's a hot potato..."

"I've heard of Liu Changkong of the Liu family. He's not a simple person. Although many people say he's dead, we can't jump to conclusions before his body is found."

"Giving it to him is fine, then."

"Befriending him... Your Excellency, is Zhang Xuan really about to break through?"

A Sky Patrol Guard on the side was somewhat horrified.

They were all very clear about what the Ning Gang realm represented.

"Otherwise, why do you think he parachuted into Nanling Prefecture and is so eager to make meritorious service? Isn't it for the position of Green Envoy?" Lu Yang narrowed his eyes.

"Then it is indeed necessary to befriend him."

Entering the Tong Xuan realm at Zhang Xuan's age means that his future is limitless. Moreover, he will either be transferred or... he will become their superior.

"Go and investigate Li Mingqi's crimes. The Liu family has been given to Chen Yuan, and that County Magistrate probably has committed a lot of crimes too..." Lu Yang instructed in a low voice.

"Yes, your subordinate obeys."

Outside the County Office.

Chen Yuan turned his head and took a deep look. In the end, he still had to destroy the Liu family. He could only let go of the Li family that Wang Ping was keeping an eye on.

The Clan Extermination Division.

Zhang Xuan, breakthrough...

He didn't know how accurate the information he received from Lu Yang was.

Lu Yang said that he had a good relationship with Zhang Xuan, but he didn't know if it was true. However, he couldn't fully believe it without evidence.

Looking at the white waist tag in his hand, Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed.

To ensure that nothing went wrong, Chen Yuan took the waist tag from Lu Yang, which represented the identity of Sky Patrol Envoy Lu Yang. Only in this way could he openly cross county lines to attack the Liu family.

Otherwise, Cao County's County Office would not agree.

Also, those who coveted the Liu family's wealth would probably not be able to sit still, but... so what?

Chen Yuan was currently short of silver for cultivation, so he definitely couldn't let go of this good opportunity.

Moreover, the grudges between the Liu family and Chen Yuan were not small, and it was almost time to settle them.

Soon, under Chen Yuan's strict orders, the Ping An County Patrol Bureau gathered nearly fifty constables in a quarter of an hour. All of these people were martial artists, at least at the Skin Refining realm.

There wasn't a single menial servant among them.

The distance between Ping An County and Cao County was not short. It was best to make a quick decision to avoid complications, and the entire County Office only managed to find thirty-odd horses.

Two people per horse.

Among them, Chen Yuan even borrowed some from Zhu Sihai of the Beihai Gang.

After half a day, Chen Yuan finally arrived in Cao County with a group of constables and patrolmen!

It was named Cao County not because it was the center of the universe, but because it was said that hundreds of years ago, a prominent figure with the surname Cao came from here. After being granted a marquisate, this place became his fiefdom.

Gradually, the name Cao County came into being.

A group of dozens of riders swaggered into the county town, and no one dared to stop them because they were all wearing constable uniforms.

The people on both sides of the street quickly stepped aside.

Since Chen Yuan had been here once, he quickly led his men to the Liu family's residence.

"Break down the door!"

Chen Yuan dismounted and waved his hand.

The constables behind him immediately rushed forward, kicked open the Liu family's gate, and then swaggered inside.

......

......

Liu Shuanghe was dead, and there wasn't a decent expert in the entire Liu family. They were quickly controlled by a group of constables, and then a thorough search began.

Chen Yuan sat calmly at the head of the Liu family's hall.

Kneeling in front of him was a beautiful woman in a green gauze dress, with tears on her face.

"You are Wu Shi?"

Chen Yuan stood up, walked to the woman, slowly raised her chin, and unscrupulously sized her up.

"I am, I am. I wonder what laws the Liu family has broken that would lead to... confiscation..." The woman on the ground said tremblingly.

"Of course, it's the crime of exterminating three generations! Liu Shuanghe was so audacious as to assassinate Li Mingqi, the County Magistrate of Ping An County. This is the Liu family's just desserts," Chen Yuan said in a low voice.

"L... Lord..."

"Lord, your subordinate has sent people to search. Liu Yun, the Liu family's chief steward, and Liu Shuanghe's third son, Liu Changfeng, are not in the mansion. They disappeared several days ago."

Wang Ping walked closer and said solemnly.

Chen Yuan's pupils constricted, thinking that Liu Shuanghe was really cautious. He had sent Liu Changfeng away in advance. It seemed that he didn't really believe Chen Yuan's words that he could protect the Liu family.

"Madam, if you want to suffer less, tell me the whereabouts of Liu Changfeng, otherwise..."

Chen Yuan didn't finish his words, but his face had completely turned cold.

Wu Shi on the ground shook her head repeatedly:

"L... Lord, I really don't know. They disappeared a few days ago. The mansion even sent people to look for them."

"Hmm?"

Chen Yuan stared at Wu Shi.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. He frowned.

"Go and see what's going on outside?"

"Yes."

Wang Ping nodded and quickly walked out of the hall.

After a few breaths, he returned, his expression somewhat solemn:

"Lord, the people outside are from the Cao County County Office."

Chen Yuan glanced at the woman on the ground, ordered her to be closely guarded, and then turned to leave.

Within the Liu family's residence, two groups of constables were facing each other with drawn blades, but no one dared to make the first move. Standing at the forefront was a middle-aged man with a mole on the corner of his eye.

He was somewhat overweight.

"Who are you? How dare you obstruct the yamen from handling official business?"

Chen Yuan stared at the middle-aged man in front of him, paused for a breath on the insignia in front of him, and had already guessed his identity. He should be the Captain of Cao County, as expected.

"Yamen? Which yamen are you from? How dare you come to Cao County to arrest people!"

The middle-aged man furrowed his brows and glared at Chen Yuan.

"Ping An County, Chen Yuan!"

"Chen Yuan..." The middle-aged man's pupils constricted, as if he had heard the name before.

"This constable is Deng Yuan, currently serving as the Captain of Cao County's patrol bureau."

"Hmm."

"Captain Chen, this is Cao County, not Ping An County. It's not your turn to take action here. County Magistrate..."

Before the middle-aged man could finish his words, Chen Yuan directly threw Lu Yang's waist tag over.

"This constable is now a member of the Sky Patrol Division, under orders to confiscate property. Liu Shuanghe is guilty of treason for assassinating County Magistrate Li Mingqi of Ping An County. What, you want to stop me?"

Chen Yuan looked at Deng Yuan with a calm expression.

"You..."

Deng Yuan swallowed the words that followed. He couldn't distinguish the authenticity of the waist tag, but Chen Yuan's tough demeanor made him subconsciously panic.

The white-patterned waist tag of the Sky Patrol Division represents a Sky Patrol Envoy.

"After returning, tell County Magistrate Shi that if there are any questions, he can report them to the superiors. This constable is only acting under orders. Also..." Chen Yuan didn't finish his words, but slowly walked to Deng Yuan's side and whispered:

"This constable will only take the movable wealth. As for the other industries of the Liu family, County Magistrate Shi will decide."

Deng Yuan's gaze flickered uncertainly. After a moment of silence, he nodded slightly:

"This constable will relay the message."

After saying that, he stared deeply at Chen Yuan, turned around, and left with his men.
