"What did you say?" Nangong looked at the terrifying man in front of him with a surprised expression. Although this guy's skin was gone, his copper coin mask on his face and the waist token in his hand had already revealed his identity.

This guy came here a few months ago and hasn't appeared since. He thought something had happened.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he came back today, he would say that all the Taoist sects that deceive beings had come to the capital.

"Ergiu, you can't say such things casually. Do you know the weight of your words? If this is false, you might end up in prison!" Nangong warned Li Huowang vigilantly.

"Of course! Brother Nangong, it's absolutely true. I personally saw Beifeng not long ago!" Li Huowang said with a very serious expression.

If what Beifeng said was true, the entire Taoist sects that deceive beings had come to the capital. In addition to the one hundred and eight ordinary tiles, there were also sixteen Four Joys of East, South, West, and North, and twelve Three Elements of Red, Green, and White. In total, there were one hundred and thirty-six Taoist sects that deceive beings!

Not to mention the mysterious and unpredictable Four Joys and Three Elements, even the most ordinary Taoist sects that deceive beings were difficult to deal with when they joined forces.

What's more, Beifeng also mentioned that the leader of the Taoist sects that deceive beings, Dice, had also come.

Li Huowang didn't know how to play mahjong, but when he was a child, he had seen his mother, Sun Xiaoqin, play. As far as he knew, mahjong was usually played with two dice!

With so many powerful enemies, it would be a delusion to confront them alone. He must bring the formidable organization, the Monitoring Bureau, to his side in order to have a chance of winning.

Only in this way, while they were fighting each other, could he, as a lone individual, take advantage of the situation.

After going through so much trouble to join the Monitoring Bureau, it was finally time to reap the rewards.

"Brother Nangong, this matter is of great importance. How could I make it up! The Taoist sects that deceive beings have all come to the capital at this moment. They definitely have ulterior motives! You also know that for the sake of amusement, they have done things that caused the downfall of a country!"

Li Huowang's words immediately made Nangong, who was still hesitating, make up his mind. "This matter is too big. I will report it. You wait here."

After speaking, with a furrowed brow and a serious expression, he walked out from behind the wooden cabinet and hurriedly headed towards the side door on the left.

Watching Nangong leave, Li Huowang breathed a sigh of relief, but this matter was not over yet. He also knew that Nangong was just a messenger and couldn't handle such a big matter at all. Whether he could persuade the Monitoring Bureau to take action was the key.

Li Huowang paced back and forth in this empty room, constantly thinking about what reasons he should use to persuade the other party.

"All the Taoist sects that deceive beings have come?" A deep voice suddenly came from behind the folding screen on the left.

Li Huowang turned his head to look at the large shadow reflected on the screen and didn't answer. He didn't have any friends in the Monitoring Bureau.

The voice behind the screen continued, "Hehe, it seems that there are a lot of troubles in the capital now. It looks like we all have to go to Houshu to hide. Fortunately, there's still time."

The tone of these words reminded Li Huowang of Tuoba Danqing and Jixiang's actions. Now that he thought about it, these old foxes seemed to have sensed the signs beforehand.

When they captured the Heart Muddler, he had said that he planned to finish that job and then prepare to hide in Qingqiu. But in the end, he didn't come back.

As for the eunuch Jixiang, he didn't need to mention it. He directly gave him the house in the capital and simply used the strategy of "leaving is the best plan."

"Do you know why the Taoist sects that deceive beings have come to the capital in such a grand manner?" Li Huowang asked the voice behind the screen.

"Hehe, do you know what the emperor is doing? It's better if you don't know. In this world, it's rare to be ignorant." After saying this, there was no sound behind the screen for a while.

But Li Huowang was not willing to give up. Although there was a storm brewing, he didn't know what was inside the cloud.

But when he lifted his foot to walk towards the screen, he found that there was no one inside, only a wooden sculpture of a fat monk the size of a human head on the low table.

The upper body of the monk was very cheerful, with a constant smile on his face, and his big belly looked particularly funny. But the lower body was not carved at all, directly exposing the twisted and thick black roots.

The orderly upper body was connected to the disorderly lower body, making it look particularly awkward.

"Ergiu!! Where are you?"

Hearing Nangong's call from outside, Li Huowang looked at the wooden sculpture of the monk again and turned to leave the screen. "Brother Nangong, I'm here!"

"Hurry up, the Chief Inspector wants to see you!" Hearing Nangong's slightly anxious words, Li Huowang's spirit suddenly shook, and he quickly nodded and followed.

He didn't know the position transfer of the Monitoring Bureau, but since he could handle the matter of the Taoist sects that deceive beings, this so-called Chief Inspector must have an extraordinary identity.

"Here, wear this. It's not appropriate to meet the Chief Inspector in your current state." Nangong handed a gray robe to Li Huowang, whose clothes had been burned.

Li Huowang took it and wrapped himself tightly, covering all the scars on his body.

"When you meet the Chief Inspector, just say whatever you need to say. Don't make up stories. He can see through it."

These words startled Li Huowang. Could the other party directly see into people's hearts? If he had any wrong thoughts in front of him, wouldn't his true identity be exposed? "May I ask, which sect does the Chief Inspector come from?"

"The Chief Inspector is different from you and me. He is a disciple of Confucianism and respects ghosts and gods from a distance, without practicing any supernatural powers."

"He's just an ordinary mortal?!" Li Huowang almost thought he had misheard. The high-level figure who controlled the entire Great Liang was actually just an ordinary person.

"You can solve everything with those invisible techniques alone? You underestimate it. Some people are extraordinary from birth. Even if they don't rely on these, they can solve problems just by speculating on people's hearts. The Chief Inspector has deceived the Taoist sects that deceive beings."

Li Huowang had already come into contact with the Taoist sects that deceive beings many times. Naturally, he understood that there were such intelligent and cunning existences that could deceive the Taoist sects that deceive beings even without relying on these invisible techniques.Seeing that he was about to meet such a person, Li Huowang began to feel a bit nervous, starting to plan how he should converse with the other party.

Following Nangong through the wooden underground corridor for a while, a large door flanked by stone drums appeared in front of Li Huowang. Two guards dressed in household attire stood silently on either side, like door gods.

The strong aura of death on them had already confirmed their identities.

Following Nangong through several doors in the stern house, they finally stopped in front of a study room.

"Reporting to the Lord Supervisor, Ear Nine has been brought here." Nangong bent down, respectfully bowing towards the wooden door.
