Ink panel: Hunting the sun and surveying the sky from the bow

Most of the servants and policemen recruited by the Weiwu Division now are good family members recruited by Shen Qing from various neighborhoods, as well as fringe children who have some relationship with the Thirteenth Industry.

These people are very clean, have no background, and are easy to handle.

And these people are all chosen by Shen Qing after active screening, which is completely different from those who came in based on their connections in the past.

To put it more bluntly, Shen Qing is their joint leader, and all the paths they take are from Shen Qing's side.

They have a certain relationship with Shen Qing where they both prosper and suffer.

In addition, Shen Qing does not have the bad habits of Zheng Yuanqiu, and never deducts everyone's salary, and will receive awards from time to time.

For a time, the bad habits of Weiwu Division in the past were wiped out, and everyone was vying for the top.

Inside and outside Yongzhou City, the demon that had raised its head was suppressed again by Shen Qing, and the situation outside Yongzhou City became calm.

Such political achievements also attracted the attention of many officials in the county government.

Division of Soldiers and Horses.

After being summoned, Shen Qing wore a neat official uniform and stepped into the lobby with steady steps. He bowed and saluted with a clear and powerful voice: "Meet Mr. Jia, meet Mr. Huangfu."

In the lobby, Jia Zhiping sat at the top, his brows showing an air of calmness and dignity.

Huangfu Rou was wearing plain white clothes and stood beside Jia Zhiping with her hands tied.

The military commander Jia Zhiping looked at Shen Qing and nodded with satisfaction. He gently raised his hand to signal Shen Qing to excuse himself.

"Vice Chief Shen, do you know why we summoned you?"

"My subordinates are stupid and don't know."

"Haha, Deputy Chief Shen, your recent performance in politics has been witnessed by both me and Mr. Huangfu." Jia Zhiping's voice was steady and powerful, revealing his high praise for Shen Qing: "Today, I have decided to formally mention you. "He is the chief minister of Weiwu Division."

The admiration in the eyes of the commander Jia Zhiping was not concealed at all.

Huangfu Rou, who was standing on the side, nodded in agreement when he heard the words: "Mr. Shen is both wise and courageous, and has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements. Today's promotion to Chief Chief of the Weiwu Division is well deserved."

Although there is only one word difference between the chief chaplain and the deputy chief chaplain, they are indeed completely different in nature.

After removing the word "deputy" from his position, he was considered to be among the powerful people of Yongzhou to a certain extent.

Ordinary children from high-ranking families could not speak loudly even in front of him.

Shen Qing realized that it was what he had done in recent months that had been recognized by his superiors.

But he did not get carried away because of this, and said humbly and calmly: "Thank you Commander Jia and Lord Huangfu for your love. Shen will definitely live up to expectations, continue to work diligently and fulfill his responsibilities, and devote his whole life to the army and the people."

"Okay, there is no need to say these polite words." Jia Zhiping, the commander of the soldiers and horses, stood up from his high position and said: "Tomorrow is the day when the county guard has recovered from his injuries and is leaving the country. It just so happens that you can come with us to meet with the county. Lord Shou."

"I humbly obey my orders." Shen Qing said respectfully, clasping his fists.

The commander of the troops and horses, Jia Zhiping, nodded, and after explaining all the matters, he quickly walked into the back hall.

Huangfu Rou stayed where he was and did not leave.

When Jia Zhiping's figure disappeared in the lobby, she took two steps towards Shen Qing and reminded: "The Sheriff failed to kill the snake demon before, and he was injured because of it and lost face. With his temper, he will definitely swallow it." Don’t take this tone. Tomorrow, in addition to me and other members of the county government, the governor will also convene the heads of the Thirteen Lines to discuss the plan to slay the demon. "

"The things you did before can't be hidden from the Dong family. It's just that they turned a blind eye and didn't care about you. Don't mess with you when you see them tomorrow."

Shen Qing's heart trembled, and he nodded and said: "Thank you, Mr. Huangfu, for reminding me. I will remember it because of my humble position."

"Well, besides this, there is one more thing."

Huangfu Rou looked at Shen Qing and said with a solemn expression: "You said before that the Zhou family colluded with demons. I checked it secretly and found that there is indeed something fishy."

"What do you say?" Shen Qing asked urgently.

That day he killed the cat demon, and it seemed like there was a big demon standing behind him.

Now the other party is in the dark and he is in the light.

If he doesn't understand this matter for a day, there will always be a knot in his heart that he can't let go of.

Huangfu Rou said eloquently: "I checked and found that the Zhou family has recruited many servants this year. It is much more than in previous years, and there are many martial arts masters among them. But what is strange is that the Zhou family has recruited so many people. Afterwards, the Zhou family compound remained the same as before, with no changes in terms of food, clothing, or lifestyle."

"It stands to reason that with more people, food and expenses should increase, but that doesn't happen. It's like these people disappeared out of thin air."

Shen Qing's face darkened and he said, "So these people must have been eaten by demons, right?"

Huangfurou nodded silently.

As we all know, demons like to eat people.

If the Zhou family colludes with demons, then some people will inevitably be used as food rations. The disappearance of the population just proves this.

Huangfu Rou said: "The Zhou family must have colluded with the demon, and the demon's cultivation level is not low, and it may have transformed."

Shen Qing looked stunned.

If it were to take form, it would be comparable to an existence in the Alchemy Realm or even the Innate Realm.

Such a demon is in the dark. If it comes to kill him, he has little chance of winning.

"Sir, what do you think?" Shen Qing gathered her mind and asked.

Huangfu Rou said: "The intelligence of such a transformed demon is no different from that of a human being. It has its own preferences. Even if it eats humans, it is not like other demons that eat humans as easily as they see them. As long as the demon lurking in the Zhou family wants to, it will not jump out like other demons, and it is difficult for the outside world to detect it."

"So a transformed demon lurking in the downtown, a high-class family, will definitely not do it for some mere food. The Zhou family must have other purposes for such cooperation."

"The most urgent thing is to find out what they want to do. Otherwise, we will never get any results if we make random guesses."

After listening to Huangfu Rou's analysis, Shen Qing was thoughtful.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the same Zhou family in Changqiao Town, and the same collusion with demons.

Is this a coincidence? !

Shen Qing felt that it was unlikely. His intuition told him that there was some kind of connection between them.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Sir Huangfu, do you know the Land of Spiritual Inspiration?"

"The Land of Spiritual Inspiration?"

Huangfu Rou frowned and said in deep thought, "I have heard a little bit that the Land of Spiritual Inspiration contains supreme spiritual inspiration, which can make living beings transcend the ordinary, and it is even rumored to have the secret of longevity."

"But this is the evil saying of the Huangtian Sect, and it is forbidden to spread and discuss it by the current dynasty. Where did you hear it from?"

Shen Qing looked directly into Huangfu Rou's eyes and said, "I suspect that the Zhou family is colluding with demons and is related to the Land of Spiritual Inspiration!"

...

Coming out of the military department, Shen Qing's mood became solemn.

After communicating with Huangfu Rou, he always felt that a dark cloud appeared in the sky above Yongzhou, and gradually spread out unconsciously.

This is not a good thing.

If you don't think about the future, you will have immediate worries.

Shen Qing's consciousness moved, and the information on the ink panel emerged...
