I Eat Monsters In the Town Monster

"Mr. Zhao Ge is not in the city? Where has he gone?"

Jinling City, inside the prefect's Yamen.

After Qin Shaoyou heard what the officials here said, he couldn't help frowning, and a trace of surprise flashed across his face.

"Reply to the Governor."

The current magistrate of Jinling City is named Qu Haotian. He raised his hand and answered: "I said that I found an important clue, and Mr. Ge personally led people to investigate."

This Qu Haotian was promoted to the prefect of Jinling only after Uncle Zhao arrived.

To be precise, he is just an acting prefect now.

If you want to become the real prefect of Jinling, you need to pass the assessment of the Ministry of Personnel and get the official appointment document from the court.

As for the previous prefect of Jinling, he was captured by Uncle Zhao as soon as he came to the southeast for allowing Japanese pirates to burn, kill, and loot, and condoning the spread of the Black Lotus Cult and causing trouble.

After investigation, it was found that the former Jinling prefect did not collude with the Japanese pirates and the Black Lotus cult, but was simply derelict in his duties and lazy in government.

In other words, he doesn't care about political affairs at all, he only focuses on 'presenting gifts'.

When Emperor Jianwu was in court, the prefect of Jinling searched for strange and strange spiritual materials, presented them to Emperor Jianwu, and created various 'auspicious things'.

As for the life and death of the people, he didn't care at all.

But just like this, he actually got excellent evaluations in the official examination, and it also made him work harder and harder, thinking that he had found a shortcut to promotion.

After Si Xiu ascended the throne, the prefect of Jinling immediately sent his confidants to the capital to inquire about the new emperor's personality, preferences, etc., hoping to continue to charm him.

At the same time, he also actively prepared new "auspicious things" and planned to congratulate the new emperor on his accession to the throne, thus making him a blockbuster and making Jane in the emperor's heart.

As a result, before the news was found out and the new 'auspicious' was not ready, the Black Lotus Sect and the Japanese pirates joined forces to cause trouble.

Although Jinling Mansion is relatively far from the coast, Japanese pirates still brought troubles all the way along the Yangtze River by boat.

Not to mention, there is also the Black Lotus Sect here.

Because of this man's laissez-faire, the Black Lotus Sect developed very strongly in the Jinling Mansion area.

After the death of Emperor Jianwu, the remnants of the Black Lotus Sect were taken over by followers of the Mad God.

This time the remnants of the Black Lotus Sect collaborated to cause trouble, and it was the Mad God and his followers who were behind it.

Jinling Mansion has a large population, and for the Mad God, this is one of the best sources of blood food and souls.

When the chaos first broke out, the former Jinling prefect wanted to hide it.

As a result, he never expected that this chaos would spread like wildfire and it would be impossible to hide it.

And because of this series of improper handling, he lost the opportunity, which caused the life in Jinling area to be devastated, from the original prosperous scene to the current Shura purgatory.

That is to say, the inside of the city was slightly better, but many villages and small towns outside were first looted by Japanese pirates, and then killed and sacrificed by people from the Black Lotus Sect and other cults.

Qin Shaoyou and the others came to Jinling City from the seaside and saw many empty villages and towns on the way.

The people inside either fled the disaster or were killed...

So when Uncle Zhao came to Jinling, the former prefect of Jinling knew that everything was over.

He wanted to run away with the property he had collected over the years, but before he left the city, he was stopped by Zhao Shuda and subdued with one move.

First, he stripped the man of his official robe, then ordered academic and political officials to take away his title, and then skinned him and stuffed him into grass according to the "Daxia Law".

Now the former prefect of Jinling is still hanged outside the government office for others to despise, which also serves as a warning to officials at all levels in Jinling Prefecture.

These stories were all asked by Qin Shaoyou from the local officials after he came to the Jinling Mansion Office and saw the human skin stuffed with grass.

At this moment, after listening to Qu Haotian's answer, Qin Shaoyou's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked: "What clues did Mr. Zhao Ge find? Where did he go to investigate?"

Qu Haotian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The governor forgives me, but I really don't know."

"Don't know?" Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly and used his [Skillful Tongue]. After a few words, he asked why.

It turned out that after Zhao Shuda arrived, he discovered that many officials in the southeast area were colluding with Japanese pirates and cult believers.

For this reason, Zhao Shuda carried out a major purge and imprisoned and executed many officials.

But the official position was also vacant.

It won’t work without someone taking responsibility for the work. So Zhao Shuda promoted and added a group of new officials.

Although these officials have not been found to have any relationship with Japanese pirates or the Black Lotus Sect, Zhao Shuda is still not worried about them.

Therefore, whenever there was any important news, Uncle Zhao would not tell them.

Officials in the southeast did not dare to object. They could only curse their predecessors and ruin the reputation of local officials.

Qin Shaoyou originally wanted to help Uncle Zhao, but after asking around, he found that no one in the Jinling Mansion Yamen knew where he had gone.

In desperation, Qin Shaoyou could only ask Cai Guizhong to 'light up' the City God's Temple in Jinling Mansion as soon as possible, and borrow the authority of the City God here to send out ghost soldiers to find traces of Zhao Shuda.

When Qu Haotian saw this scene, he was surprised that someone under Qin Shaoyou could borrow the power of the City God, and couldn't help but said:

"Duke Qin, Mr. Zhao Ge has a good cultivation level and is a great scholar in the world. There should be no problem. You don't need to worry too much."

Qin Shaoyou thinks so too, but he has always been cautious, and the preparations that need to be made must be made and must not be wasted.

After arranging these things, Qin Shaoyou asked some questions about the situation in Jinling and Southeast. Qu Haotian answered them one by one, which was not much different from what Ao Chou said.

After that, Qin Shaoyou and the others did not move into the official residence of Jinling Mansion, nor did they move into the house arranged by Qu Haotian and other local officials. Instead, they went to the Jishichang Yamen in the city and planned to stay here.

As soon as he arrived outside the yamen of the Jishi Factory, Qin Shaoyou saw the chief official coming out to greet him.

Obviously, they should have received the news as soon as Qin Shaoyou entered the city.

Qin Shaoyou even discovered that the gates of the yamen of the Jishi Factory had been washed. Although they were not spotless, they were still shining.

At the same time, Qin Shaoyou also heard people cleaning and cursing inside the yamen of the editing factory.

This made Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but think of the cleaning scene when the leader inspected in his previous life.

I never thought I could experience it again in this life.

It's just that he became the leader who was cursed.

Just when Qin Shaoyou secretly felt that it was funny, several chief officials from the yamen of Jinling Prefecture came up to him with smiles on their faces.

Jinling is a big mansion, and the chief official of the editing factory here is also a high-ranking official, with one thousand households and two deputy thousand households.

However, Qin Shaoyou did not see the envoy he sent among the people who greeted him.

When Qin Shaoyou first took charge of the editing factory, he sent many people to various places to investigate and deal with violations of laws and disciplines in local editing factories on his behalf.

Here in Jinling Mansion, people were also sent.

So when the officials in the Jinling Prefecture Editing Factory introduced themselves and led Qin Shaoyou and the others into the yamen, Qin Shaoyou asked, "Where is Bai Peng? Why didn't you see anyone else?"

Unexpectedly, several chief officials of the Jinling Prefecture Editing Factory showed surprised expressions and asked him:

"My subordinates are bold enough to ask the Governor, who is this Bai Peng?"
