Peerless Taoist

"Make way, make way!"    

This man was wearing a green official robe. However, because he was too fat, his clothes were torn apart.    

The man ran up to Song Qingfeng with great effort, and immediately knelt down in front of him. "This official... This official is Zhang Biao from the Hundred Households of the Eternal Spring Guards. Greetings, Mr. Song."    

As Zhang Biao spoke, he kept breathing heavily. When the others saw him, they couldn't help but frown.    

Although magic cultivators did not deliberately temper their bodies, such a terrible body made people frown when they saw it.    

No matter what, as a member of the Hundred Households, Zhang Biao could be considered a junior officer. Such a physique, it was hard to believe that he had the ability to protect one side.    

Song Qingfeng pointed at Lu Yu and introduced, "This is the commander of the left army, Lord Lu Yu, Lord Lu. He now has full authority over the internal military and administrative matters of the Heavenly Charging Pass. You must cooperate with Lord Lu with all your might, do not hide anything."    

Zhang Biao's face immediately showed an exaggerated expression. He bowed to Lu Yu and said, "I have long heard of your great name! Lord Lu's reputation had long been heard by everyone. Today, I have seen you. You are indeed a dragon among men..."    

This behavior made many people present reveal looks of disdain.    

Even in the court of Great Yu, many people still had their own dignity. They were all cultivators with magic. Even lower-ranking officials would not behave like this when they saw their superiors.    

"Enough, I won't say any unnecessary words. Do you know Ning Shou?" Lu Yu said in a deep voice.    

Zhang Biao quickly nodded. "Of course I do. Everyone in the hundred households knows Ning Shou."    

"Ning Shou was ordered to be a deserter. I want to know, how did you investigate the hundred households?" Lu Yu asked directly.    

Hearing Lu Yu's question, Zhang Biao's face suddenly showed a bitter expression. "Master Lu, you don't know. Our hundred households have limited manpower, and the war is very tense. We don't have time to investigate. More than half of the people in the Hundred Households Office have been transferred to the front lines. It's too late even if we want to investigate."    

Song Qingfeng frowned. "Silly! You have to personally investigate important matters such as escaping before you can come up with a conclusion. Without going through an investigation, you have already decided that they are deserters! "    

When Lu Yu heard this answer, he was not angry. Instead, he nodded and said," It is only natural that we do not have enough manpower. Today, I will personally investigate them for you! Since Ning Shou died on the battlefield, there should be a record of it. Where are those documents now? "    

Zhang Biao spread out his hands and said with an innocent expression: "Lord Lu, you came too coincidentally. The clerk in charge of the documents applied for sick leave. It has been a long time since I last came to work. The documents in the yamen had long since piled up like a mountain. Even if this official wants to find it for you, I'm afraid it'll take a long time."    

Lu Yu smiled and started to size up Zhang Biao again.    

He didn't know this rank seven official, but Zhang Biao's current performance had already made people doubt him.    

The investigation and documents seemed to have endless obstacles, but to Zhang Biao, it wasn't a problem at all.    

The reason why he did not hand it over to Lu Yu was not because of those complicated reasons, but because Zhang Biao did not want Lu Yu to see these things at all.
