"No matter what I was like in my previous life, now that I am here, I am a Qin person. The evil spirits feed on the human race. If the evil spirits become stronger in the future, my end will not be easy!"

"I joined the Demon Suppressing Division and became the Demon Slayer. It is said that I am protecting the people of the Qin Dynasty, but it is better to say that I am looking for a way out for myself——"

The raging fire in the Zhang family was reflected in Shen Changqing's pupils.

No real contact with evil spirits.

There is no way to understand how serious the disaster caused by evil spirits is.

Perhaps in the eyes of Yaoxie, humans are no different from other pigs and sheep. It is a natural instinct to feed on humans, but since he is not Yaoxie, it is naturally impossible for him to be one of them.

"I am a human race, so naturally I should consider it from the perspective of a human race!"

Shen Changqing was relieved.

He is a human race, so naturally he cannot think from the perspective of pigs and sheep, and wonder whether the pigs and sheep reduced to food rations are sad.

same.

He is a human race, and he cannot think from the perspective of evil spirits, whether it is in line with the nature of the world for the other party to use human race as their food.

——

Return to the Yamen.

Shen Changqing first asked Shi Qingsheng to count today's harvest.

The Zhang family is in Lin'an City. It can be said that it is a big family. When the house was searched, large and small boxes were moved out, and there was not a lot of stuff at all.

To this.

Shi Qingsheng could only do the counting overnight.

It was only when the Oriental fish belly turned white that everything was settled.

"Sir, all the assets of the Zhang family have been accounted for. All the store land deeds and other things add up to 130,000 taels of silver!"

One hundred and thirty thousand taels!

Shen Changqing nodded. It was a little different from what he expected, but not much different.

The Zhao family is at its peak, and all assets are equivalent to about 210,000 taels. The Zhang family is a little behind compared to the Zhao family, and 130,000 taels is not much different.

"One Zhao family plus one Zhang family already has more than three hundred thousand taels. Even if Lin'an City is so small, how much assets should other big families in other counties, cities, and even the capital have in their hands!"

Shen Changqing couldn't help but sigh.

When he was in the Demon Suppressing Division, his monthly salary was only one tael of silver.

Now that he has become a yellow-level demon slayer, his salary has increased to five taels.

Anyway.

Being a demon slayer is a profession that licks blood, so it is normal for the salary to be higher. Moreover, the real benefit of joining the Demon Suppressor Division is not only the salary.

But that's the case.

The salary of a demon slayer is already much higher than that of others.

A yellow-ranked demon slayer makes fifty taels a month, which is only sixty taels of silver a year. A Huang-ranked demon slayer has to save the Zhao family's assets in Lin'an City for 3,500 years without eating or drinking.

"Three thousand and five hundred years——"

Shen Changqing felt a little toothache.

at this time.

Shi Qingsheng, who was standing aside, saw the change in Shen Changqing's expression and couldn't help but remind him in a low voice: "Sir, the assets of both families are only temporarily transferred to the Yamen warehouse and have not been escorted to the capital for the time being.

Sometimes, it is inevitable that there will be some discrepancies between the records on the books and the actual inventory——"

Said to hit here.

He just shut his mouth.

But Shi Qingsheng's words made Shen Changqing suddenly wake up.

the meaning of the other person’s words.

Anyone who is not a fool can hear it.

"Were all county magistrates like this in the past?" Shen Changqing's expression remained unchanged, neither angry nor eager.

"That's natural."

Shi Qingsheng nodded, and then smiled again: "How else could the Zhao family own such an industry in Lin'an City in just ten or twenty years? The monthly salary of a county magistrate is only a few taels of silver. .”

"How much discrepancy do you think will not cause trouble?"

"The assets of both families are counted by low-level officials. As long as it is not excessive, the court will not conduct a thorough investigation. However, it is not advisable to use too much. There are more than 300,000 taels. My lord, it is best to move within 30,000 taels. It is most appropriate. .”

Shi Qingsheng showed great experience.

In this regard, Shen Changqing has a clear mind.

Obviously the other party was following Zhao Fang, and he did this kind of thing frequently.

But Shi Qingsheng's words really moved his heart.

Thirty thousand taels of silver.

According to my salary as a yellow-level demon slayer, it would take hundreds of years to save enough.

Just think of this.

Shen Changqing's eyes fell on Shi Qingsheng: "I believe you will know very well what should be said and what should not be said. Although I am only the temporary magistrate of the county, I am still a member of the Suppressing Demon Division.

For the Demon Suppressor, there are many ways to silence someone.

There is no need for me to remind you of this! "

"Don't worry, sir, I don't know anything about my humble position!" Shi Qingsheng hurriedly replied.

"very good!"

Shen Changqing nodded with satisfaction, and immediately said: "The Zhao family and the Zhang family, the total assets of the Zhao family and the Zhang family that have been confiscated this time are discounted to a total of 310,000 taels. You must register them carefully and don't miss anything.

The rest is whatever is convenient for you. "

"I understand the humble position!"

"In addition, I have people prepare some supplements to replenish qi and blood, as well as chicken, duck and fish meat, and send them over immediately. If the government subsidy is not enough, I will subsidize the rest."

"Yes, let's do the humble job now!"

Shi Qingsheng respectfully stepped down.

——

Less than an hour.

Shi Qingsheng sent everything over, along with the supplements and a thick stack of banknotes.

Shen Changqing counted the banknotes and found that the banknotes were about thirty thousand taels. Strictly speaking, there were a few taels missing.

Looking at the table full of food, he also sighed.

"A meal costs several taels of silver. This kind of consumption is not ordinary. Relying on the salary from the Demon Suppressing Division alone, if I want to improve my realm, I will undoubtedly waste a lot of time."

Panel improvement and kill value are necessary, but daily consumption replenishment is also essential.

In the past.

Shen Changqing didn't think this would be a problem, but now as the realm gets higher and higher, the consumption is gradually increasing.

Arrive now.

For a breakthrough, you have to prepare a lot of things to make up for the physical consumption.

otherwise.

He wouldn't be so straightforward as to get 30,000 taels of silver from two families.

With previous experience.

Shen Changqing first ate some food to fill his stomach, and then began to calm down and enter the panel to improve his martial arts.

Thirteen Taibao practice and improve!

Five kill points are consumed.

A powerful suction force was generated from all aspects of the body, and the food in the stomach disappeared at an extremely fast speed, turning into billowing energy and blood.

soon.

A strong sense of hunger came over me.

Shen Changqing did not dare to hesitate and took advantage of the opportunity to eat a lot.

finally--

His body trembled.

On normal skin, there seems to be a faint sheen flowing.

So far.

The Thirteen Taibao practiced Kung Fu and had already reached the seventeenth level.

External strength is improved and Qi and blood are filled.

Shen Changqing began to let Tianwu Gangqi make a breakthrough.

A thought came to mind.

The killing value was consumed by ten points in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the physical body's qi and blood are exhausted, which is transformed into Tianwu Zhenqi in the Dantian.

Not long after, the zhenqi in the Dantian reached an overflowing state. When the overflowing zhenqi could not break through the constraints of the Dantian, it began to compress in reverse -

One drop!

Two drops!

The vaporized Qi began to transform into liquefaction.

I don't know how much time passed, but all the energy in the Dantian was transformed into a red liquid, which stayed there quietly like a clear spring.

At the same time as the true energy liquefies.

All the opened meridians in the body were connected together in an instant, and the membrane-like inner Gang Qi that should have existed inside the body grew crazily at this moment and became extremely solid.

at the same time.

An incomparable feeling of weakness also came to my mind.

The mixture of fullness and weakness made Shen Changqing feel dazed.

After reacting.

He hurriedly grabbed the things on the table and stuffed them all into his mouth, regardless of whether they were there or not.

Just for a moment.

There was a mess on the table, and all the food went into Shen Changqing's belly, but even so, there was still no way to completely fill up the consumption.

"Somebody come!"

A loud shout.

Immediately someone pushed the door open and came in.

"Sir, what are your orders?" When Shi Qingsheng was saluting, he glanced at the messy tabletop and was secretly surprised.

He clearly remembered that the food he brought was enough for several big men.

But he didn't expect that he would eat it all by himself in such a short time.

but.

Thinking of his master's identity, Shi Qingsheng didn't think much about it.

It is reasonable for a strong man who can kill evil spirits to eat more.

Shen Changqing took out a 10-liang banknote and handed it directly to Shi Qingsheng: "Prepare another table for me immediately, double the standard!"

"Well, I humbly obey my orders!"

Shi Qingsheng didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he took the banknote and returned it.

Shen Changqing sat still on the stool, closing his eyes and feeling the changes in his body.

The Thirteen Taibao had broken through to the seventeenth level in practice, and their overall physical fitness in all aspects had improved a lot.

But there are also obvious shortcomings.

That's the kind of improvement that can't keep up with the consumption of improving internal strength.

It's also a level up.

Tianwu Gang Qi broke through from the eleventh level to the twelfth level, almost draining all his energy and blood.

It can be seen from this.

If the Thirteen Taibao only improve their internal strength by one level after practicing, it will no longer be enough to sustain the consumption.

"At the thirteenth level of Tianwu Gangqi, the consumption will definitely be greater. The thirteen Taibao Hengqi may have to reach the nineteenth level to be able to sustain the consumption in that moment.

To put it bluntly, the level of this martial arts is too low after all.

Even if it has the kill value to break the limit, compared with other martial arts, the price/performance ratio can no longer keep up. "

If the price/performance ratio cannot keep up, then you are destined to consume more killing points to get the effect you want.

In response, Shen Changqing also wanted to change his martial arts.

Now that he can't go back to Suppress the Demon Division, even if he has an idea in his mind, he can't take any actual action.

However, it would not be appropriate to say that the killing value should not be moved until he returns to the Demon Suppressing Division and then slowly transformed.

There is an undercurrent surging in Lin'an City right now. He has just removed a stronghold of the Eternal Life Alliance. He may not know when the Eternal Life Alliance will make other moves.

so.

You can only improve yourself as much as possible under limited conditions.
