Only then did Dan Cha come out again, arms crossed in silence.

"Big Boss," his confidante whispered beside him, "should we just let these youngsters from the academies act so arrogantly"

"It's not because you guys are incompetent, is it You dawdle and drag your feet on every case, never getting to the bottom of things! Otherwise, why would they have the chance to interfere"

Cases that the Censorate cannot handle are generally listed on the Dao Xun list. This is to avoid ambiguity in jurisdiction.

"These sect disciples are pampered and know nothing about investigating cases!" A subordinate scoffed, "Let them waste their time!"

Dan Cha didn't take sides, but simply called the slanting eyebrow cultivator over and scolded him again. Then he carefully questioned Jiang Wang about the details of his questions before waving him away.

“It’s always been our Censorate who has been in the high and mighty position, who ever dared to put us down Since that rotten stone Dong A arrived at Maple Forest Academy, it's become completely out of hand.” Dan Cha said coldly: “Chief Ji is about to inspect the counties soon, when he arrives in Maple Forest City, we won’t have to fear anyone.”

He wasn't on the same level yet, and he didn't know that Ji Xuan had already been there and been humiliated by Song Hengjiang at the Qingjiang waterfront.

"That's right!" his subordinates chorused in agreement.

Dan Cha snorted coldly, “The Zhao family has only recently moved to this city and are already so wealthy. Who knows if their origins are clean. For these past few years, they have been honest and filial. We turned a blind eye to their matters. But now that the young master of the Zhao family is acting so arrogantly, we should investigate their background. Let’s see if they dare!”

Although the Censorate is only responsible for supernatural cases, who says what's supernatural and what isn't

Because there is overlap in jurisdictions, the Criminal Investigation Department cooperates with city lords in areas where they are powerful. In areas where city lords are weak, the Criminal Investigation Department operates independently.

Meanwhile, in Qinghe County, due to the strong influence of Magistrate Ji Xuan, most cities within the county had a degree of autonomy in their Criminal Investigation Department, allowing them to thrive and prosper.

“My subordinate obeys!” The confidante couldn't help but smirk, beginning to calculate how much soup he could have alongside his master.

The raised eyebrow's assessment of the task followed procedure, without any personal bias or intention to harm.

At least Jiang Wang hoped their investigation results were like this.

At that time, the cause of the mission was the murder of a villager in Dujia Town.

Based on the evidence at the scene, the perpetrator's cultivation level is no higher than the Ninth Rank of the Traveling Pulse Realm. The吊梢眉 rated this mission as Eighth Rank considering the uncertainty of the left-path cultivator's whereabouts and the recent events in the Fenglin City region which have increased the risk factor.

As for the Fenglin City Daoist Academy, with two Eighth Rank Zhoutian Realm cultivators and three Ninth Rank Youmai Realm cultivators, this kind of configuration would make completing a task of this level almost a certainty.

But the result caused the most serious casualties for disciples of Fenglin City Daoist Academy since Xiao Lin Town. A total of four disciples sacrificed their lives. You have to know, in previous years, the number of inner-door disciples absorbed by Fenglin City Daoist Academy each year was only about ten.

Every disciple of the Daoist Academy is a foundation of the nation. This is also why the Fenglin City Daoist Academy attaches so much importance to this matter. After the Jixing Division's investigation came to nothing, they sent Jiang Wang and others to investigate.

After leaving the Censorate, Jiang Wang and his companions' third stop was Zhang's ancestral home.

This is the result of a three-person discussion, and their thinking is very clear.

From Fang He Ling to the Criminal Investigation Department, the next one is Zhang Xi Zhi. That is, the team leader in charge of that mission.

Although he is dead, his information has not died.

Among his family and friends, there still lives a memory of Zhang Xi Zhi.

The Criminal Justice Department is located north of the City Lord's Mansion, not too far from it, near Aoki Avenue.

Geographically speaking, going from Fang's clan land to Zhang's clan land and then to the Department of Criminal Justice is relatively convenient.

But Jiang Wang and they still chose to take the detour, because the actual order was more important than the geographical order.

The Zhang family is now undoubtedly the leading clan among the three major surnames, but upon entering their ancestral lands, one wouldn't feel any air of arrogance. On the contrary, every member of the Zhang family encountered along the way was remarkably polite. Upon learning that they were disciples of the Daoist Academy, someone even volunteered to guide them.

Jiang Wang and others divided their forces into three groups, going to Zhang Xi's home, Zhang Xi's best friend's home, and the clan leader's home.

Jiang looked towards the chief's house.

Going to Zhang Xi's home is bound to yield the most clues, and Zhao Ru Cheng is the one least likely to lose them.

According to seniority, Zhang Shizichang should be Zhang Linchuan's grandfather's generation, but they are not from the same lineage.

Of course, with Zhang Linchuan's current strength, he naturally belongs to the direct line. Even if his ambition is not in this area, the next clan leader would be none other than him.

As a rising star from the Maple Forest Academy, Jiang Wang's reputation had soared. Zhang Shi, the clan head, took time out of his busy schedule to assist him in understanding the relevant information about Zhang Xi, thereby supporting his mission.

The two chatted for a while, but didn't gain much. Jiang Wang was just about to say goodbye when suddenly a voice came from outside. "Young Master Linchuan is back!"

Zhang Linchuan stepped into the courtyard, following the sound. He first bowed to Zhang Shizu, the clan leader: "Linchuan comes to pay respects to Grand Uncle."

All ceremonies and etiquette are complete.

The clan head of the Zhang family sat with a smile and raised his hand, "Your cultivation journey is hard, it's not easy to come back once. You don't have to visit me every time."

"That's right." Zhang Linchuan smiled and greeted Jiang Wang again: "Junior Brother Jiang, are you visiting my home"

Jiang Wang wouldn't dare to be arrogant. He had already stood up and said with a wry smile, "It's just that I was assigned a task. I don't know if it was Vice President Song's intention or President Dong's."

He couldn't possibly ask Dong A about this, and Dong A wouldn't even bother with him. Dong A is the head of the Dao Institute, not anyone's wet nurse.

“Oh” Zhang Linchuan said with interest, “What’s the difference”

There's a big difference! If it's Dong A, then he values it. But if it's Song Qifang, then it might just be trouble.

"It's nothing much." Ginger wanted to avoid talking about the friction with Song Qifang, so he changed the subject. "I came empty-handed today, and it wouldn't be appropriate to bother you. I'll look for Brother Zhang for a drink next time after I finish this mission."

"Good." Zhang Linchuan smiled and then bid farewell to the elder, "Grandfather, I'll go home first."

The old man chuckled and said, "Go on, go on. Don't keep your mother waiting too long, or she'll blame me when you get back."

Adults don't usually have a concrete timeframe for the next time, it generally equates to never.

Zhang Linchuan walked out of the clan leader's courtyard and towards his home. Along the way, he encountered clansmen who greeted him, all nodding in response. However, the hand covering his mouth never moved away. The clansmen didn't mind, knowing his fastidious nature.

Zhang Linchuan's home wasn't particularly large, but with a courtyard both inside and outside, it certainly wasn't shabby. His father held a position of authority within the clan, though his duties were few and his earnings plentiful.

Given Zhang Linchuan's current abilities and future prospects, no one in the family would mistreat his relatives.

Before he even entered the courtyard, servants came out to greet him.

"Master, you're back. Dinner is ready. Your father and mother are waiting!"

Before he even stepped into the tribe's territory, his family should have been prepared.

Zhang Linchuan nodded and walked towards the warm dining hall.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

His parents were indeed sitting at the head of the dinner table waiting for him.

Mr. Zhang was a traditional man. Though he was happy to see his son, he didn't show it too much on his face. He just said lightly, "Sit down."

It was his mother who smiled at him, moving a dish of perch to his place: "Linchuan, try some."

Zhang Linchuan walked to his own position and glanced at the stool. He couldn't help but wipe the oil stains on it with his handkerchief—it should have been accidentally dropped during the serving of dishes—and then he crumpled the handkerchief and put it aside.

He quickly heard his father's angry voice: "What on earth is the matter I told you that Lin Chuan would be coming back for dinner today, so you should have told the servants to clean up properly. Not even a chair is tidy!"

Mother's voice was still filled with grievance: "I tidied up inside and out several times..."

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhang Linchuan laughed to smooth things over. "Let's eat."

A family of three sat together for a meal, dividing the entire round table into three equal portions, with each person occupying one corner.
