"A demon...isn't this a ready-made one?"
Shen Lang looked up at the fat orange cat hanging on a tree branch, staring at Sang Biao with a look of surprise and uncertainty.
"Once this case is finished, we can let it teach Sang Biao a lesson."
Shen Lang snapped out of his thoughts and bowed to Princess Jing'an and Princess Changning, saying, "It's getting late, I'm about to finish my shift and go home."
"Lord Shen, see you tomorrow~"
Princess Changning smiled brightly and waved her hand like a lucky cat.
"See you tomorrow." Shen Lang nodded with a smile.
As he said before, the best way to eliminate fear is to eliminate fear.
He instantly defeated the rampaging demon in front of the princess, and the princess's inner conflict was resolved. She was no longer afraid and returned to her previous relaxed and energetic self.
Very good.
Unlike the princess, Princess Jing'an was not calm. She looked at Shen Lang and hesitated several times, but in the end she didn't say anything. She pursed her lips and said goodbye to Shen Lang.
Seeing her like this, Shen Lang gently comforted her, "The Prince's mansion is safe now. You just need to rest well and don't need to worry."
A powerful and intelligent demon, a martial artist of the first rank, and three thousand armored and sword-wielding guards.
With such a strong defensive force, anyone who comes here will have to think twice.
Unless the mysterious flower thief comes in person, no one can threaten the princess and the noblewoman.
But he would not act rashly before the plan was completed, otherwise he would not have waited until today.
"The flower thief is nothing to worry about for now, but I caught the cat demon today and also had a chance to speak with that masked woman, so things might change..."
Shen Lang pondered for a moment, his gaze darkening slightly.
Variables represent anomalies, and anomalies must be eliminated.
"Tomorrow we'll go meet with Xu Jingde first, then we'll go arrest her!"
When the Void Realm and the Demon Eye of Illusion were activated, he had already firmly memorized the woman's aura.
As long as she remains in this Jade Capital City, she will definitely not be able to escape!
"At worst, we'll spend more time checking each area one by one. I refuse to believe she can hide in the sky!"
After comforting Princess Jing'an, Shen Lang did not linger any longer. He left the palace, mounted his horse, and galloped away.
......
[Check-in successful! 8 hours worked today, skill point +1!]
[You worked diligently and overcame a major challenge, leading to rapid progress in the project. Skill points +10!]
The moment I stepped through the gate, a notification sound rang out.
"Another extra charge?"
Shen Lang raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
According to the system's consistent logic, ordinary "work projects" will not be settled multiple times. Skill points will only be distributed uniformly after the project is completed.
This only happens when a "major project concerning career development prospects" is identified.
The more frequent the phased settlements, the more generous the final skill point reward will be.
"This has happened for two days in a row. At this rate, I'll definitely get a lot of skill points when this case is over."
"There's another reason why we must bring that flower thief to justice."
Shen Lang's eyes flickered slightly as he muttered to himself.
He wanted a comprehensive upgrade, including cultivation techniques, job position, and skill points—none of which could be missing.
Therefore, he was determined to win this case, and no one could stop him!
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Shen Lang added some fodder for Jiao Jiao, changed the water and prepared food for Sang Biao, and after finishing these tasks, he went out and bought some wheat cakes and weighed out a few pounds of braised meat.
Erniu hasn't returned from his shift at the elephant shed yet, but he's not going to wait any longer.
In order to investigate the case, he frequently retraced his steps into the virtual realm today and went through a great battle, leaving his spirit on the verge of exhaustion.
I have important business to attend to tomorrow, so I need to rest early and recharge.
After finishing his meal, Shen Lang quickly cleaned up the dishes and was about to go back to his room to rest.
Just then, there was a knock on the courtyard gate.
He paused, then went to open the door.
A Jinyiwei captain, dressed in a cross-collar straight robe, tied with a black leather belt, wearing black boots, and with a long sword at his waist, clasped his hands in a fist salute to him.
"My name is Sun Shuo. I greet you, Brother Shen."
"Brother Sun, please come in."
Shen Lang paused for a moment, then stepped aside to let him pass.
He led Sun Shuo into the inner room, brewed a pot of tea, and brought out several plates of dried fruit, saying with a smile:
"My home is humble and I have nothing good to offer you, Brother Sun, please forgive me."
Sun Shuo quickly stood up and said politely, "I also worked under Commander Zhou. We were colleagues, so Brother Shen, there's no need to be so polite."
The two sat down facing each other, and Sun Shuo looked Shen Lang up and down with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
On the day Shen Lang went to the yamen to report for duty, he happened to be on duty outside. It was only after he returned that he learned that a ruthless person had come to the small yamen.
He dared to contradict his superior in public on his first day of reporting for duty. Such a person was rare, given the strict rules of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Although Shen Lang hasn't returned to the government office these past few days, his deeds have already spread.
Everyone agreed that he was a troublemaker with a powerful background, a bad temper, and extremely difficult to get along with.
That's why Sun Shuo felt somewhat flattered to see Shen Lang being so kind.
After exchanging a few polite words, Shen Lang asked, "May I ask what brings Brother Sun here so late at night?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Shuo slapped his forehead: "Look at my brain, I completely forgot about the important matter!"
He took an envelope from his pocket, handed it to Shen Lang, and said with a smile, "Commander Zhou ordered me to come and deliver a message."
"I went to the Jing'an Prince's Mansion first, but they said you had finished your duties, so I hurried here. I was delayed on the way, so I'm late. Please forgive me, Brother Shen!"
However, upon hearing this, Shen Lang withdrew his outstretched hand and did not take the envelope.
Sun Shuo's smile froze, and he pushed his hand forward again.
Shen Lang pressed down on the back of his hand, smiled, and said, "It's rest time now, I'm not handling official business."
"So, Brother Sun, you should take this letter back with you."
[Your unscrupulous boss sent you harassing messages after get off work, and you read them but didn't reply, teaching him a lesson and earning +3 skill points!]
"this......"
Sun Shuo was stunned. He finally understood why Zhou Baihu had lost his temper and smashed the government office to pieces.
This Brother Shen is more than just a troublemaker; he's downright anti-government and lawless!
"It seems everyone guessed correctly, he really is someone important!" Sun Shuo thought to himself, secretly alarmed.
"Brother Sun, please have some tea."
Shen Lang poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.
"Brother Shen, you're too kind."
Sun Shuo composed himself, hastily stuffed the envelope into his pocket, and took it with both hands.
Shen Lang said gently, "It's already dark, let's not talk about official business."
"How about I treat you? Let's find a tavern and have a few drinks. What do you say, Brother Sun?"
Sun Shuo quickly said, "Brother Shen, please forgive me. I have to go back to the yamen to work later. Let's get together again next time..."
This Brother Shen had disobeyed his superior in front of him, yet now he was being so polite to him, which made him feel very uncomfortable and uneasy.
Shen Lang nodded happily: "In that case, let's make another appointment later."
Sun Shuo exchanged a few polite words and then took his leave.
Shen Lang rose to see him off, but just before he left, Sun Shuo hesitated, stopped, and asked:
"Brother Shen, what do you think would be the best way for me to talk to Commander Zhou when I get back?"
