Chapter 9 Sooner or later this nobleman will be killed
"Brother-in-law, who is this noble man? I want to thank his eight generations of ancestors!"
Qin Shaoyou said thanks, but in his heart he gritted his teeth with hatred.
The noble man's words of respect made it impossible for him to continue to fish and survive. He had to be forced to open his business and face monsters and dangers. How could he not hate it?
Although Xue Qingshan thought his words sounded strange, he didn't think much about it. He shook his head and said: "How do I know the name of the noble man? Zuo Qianhu didn't tell him, so I can't ask."
Qin Shaoyou rolled his eyes at him, showing contempt:
Isn’t it easy for you to ask? You obviously don’t dare to ask! Look at how cowardly you are, why don’t you dare to fight with Zuo Qianhu?
Xue Qingshan noticed Qin Shaoyou's gaze and couldn't help but frown: "What's your expression?"
"Nothing." Qin Shaoyou quickly put away his contempt.
My brother-in-law couldn't defeat Zuo Qianhu, so there was no problem in dealing with him.
He quickly changed the subject: "Brother-in-law, I don't even know the noble man, how can I be valued by the noble man? What does he like about me?"
Is it because I'm handsome? Or because I have a flexible tongue? It's not because I can eat, right?
"Probably because of the previous case."
Xue Qingshan seems to really know something.
Qin Shaoyou hurriedly asked: "Which case?"
"It's the case that caused our father to be seriously injured and had to quit the Demon Suppression Department, and made you lie in bed for three months."
Xue Qingshan sighed.
"That case caused the Luocheng Town Demon Division to lose more than a hundred night watchmen, and it had a great impact. Those of you who come back alive will naturally be paid attention to by the higher authorities."
Qin Shaoyou keenly captured an important point.
"Are the other people who came back alive also valued by the nobles?"
"yes."
Xue Qingshan nodded.
"Before you came over, I had informed them of this matter. Several of them were very excited and expressed their intention to make achievements in return for your respect. Some people even asked me for help on the spot and took the initiative to take on several dangerous tasks.
He said he wanted to show it to the noble people."
Qin Shaoyou recalled that on his way here, he did see a few colleagues who were excited.
He looked so elated, as if he had won the Meng Lottery Grand Prize.
He was still wondering at the time, what good thing had happened to these people and made them so excited?
Unexpectedly, it was because he was valued by noble people.
Qin Shaoyou suddenly thought of something and asked quickly: "My father is also valued by noble people?"
Xue Qingshan shook his head and said: "Zuo Qianhu didn't mention our father's name, probably because he was not favored by the nobles. After all, he has quit the Demon Suppression Division."
That's good... Qin Shaoyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was not like several of his colleagues who were overjoyed and excited because they were favored by noble people, thinking that they had climbed to the top and were going to achieve great success and reach the pinnacle of life.
On the contrary, he was wary and felt that things were not that simple.
There are so many night watchmen who escape death every year, why do noble people like them so much?
As the old saying goes, if you show courtesy for nothing, you will either become a traitor or a thief.
"I'm afraid this is not something that noble people value, but rather that noble people urge!"
Qin Shaoyou thought in his heart.
Originally, he had no idea about the previous case.
After all, in this world, it is full of weirdness and danger. It is not uncommon for an entire army to be wiped out due to errors in intelligence.
But now, the sudden appearance of "noble people value" made him suspicious.
The previous case was probably not simple.
Thinking of this, Qin Shaoyou lowered his voice and asked: "Brother-in-law, what happened in the previous case?"
Xue Qingshan said in astonishment: "You ask me? You are the actual participant. Don't forget, I was transferred here after the fact, and the files I saw were based on your oral records."
Qin Shaoyou frowned. His memory of this case was that he went to round up a group of demons and ghosts, but the intelligence turned out to be wrong. The strength and number of demons and ghosts far exceeded expectations, resulting in heavy casualties and almost annihilation of the entire army.
However, it now seems that there may be some ulterior secrets hidden in this case.
It's just that those who came back alive are of too low a level and no one knows the inside story.
Qin Shaoyou even guessed that even the former Baihu Official of the Demon Division in Luocheng Town was also kept in the dark, otherwise he would not have died in this case.
But it was precisely because they didn't know the inside story that the so-called noble man didn't directly kill them and silence them, but showed a "valued" tone.
In this way, their superiors will naturally assign more tasks to them and train them.
In today's situation where monsters are rampant and dangers are everywhere, having more tasks means taking more risks, and it is easy to die in the line of duty.
The reincarnation rate of the Demon Suppression Division has always been high.
And if these people died in the execution of their mission, no one would suspect the noble man.
Even the deceased and his family members will not feel resentful, but will only feel that they were incompetent, unlucky, and unworthy of the respect of the nobles.
This move of ‘killing someone with a borrowed knife’ is really cruel!
Even if they are lucky enough to survive missions full of dangers and achieve great results, it doesn't matter to them.
Because most people will be grateful to him and feel that their achievements and promotions are inseparable from the respect and cultivation of noble people.
They will even take the initiative to serve the nobles and use them to gain a better future.
Just look at the excited colleagues outside. They wish they could hug the noble man's lap and call him daddy.
I was really sold and I helped count the money.
"This noble man is definitely an old cunt!"
Qin Shaoyou made a judgment in his heart.
At the same time, he secretly made up his mind: "Sooner or later, I will find out who this noble man is and his purpose. If he really wants to harm me, I must kill him no matter what, and eliminate the danger completely!"
As for now, it is better to continue to stay in the Demon Suppression Division and work hard to improve your strength.
Qin Shaoyou thought of this and asked: "Brother-in-law, can I not go to Mianyuan County? Can't I stay in Luocheng to perform other tasks?"
Compared to the villages and counties below, it is undoubtedly safer to stay in Luocheng.
Moreover, the Demon Suppression Division is also in the city, so it is convenient to call for reinforcements.
Xue Qingshan saw his worries and explained:
"The current top priority of the Demon Division in Luocheng City is to hunt down and eradicate the Black Lotus Sect. If you stay in Luocheng City, you will have to deal with the Black Lotus Sect, and the danger will only be greater.
In comparison, it is safer to investigate cases of missing children.
Don't worry, there have been cases of missing children before. Either Paihuazi committed the crime through charlatanism, or it was caused by monsters like Heiyi. No matter which one it is, it is easier to deal with than the monsters from the Black Lotus Sect.
Moreover, in Mianyuan County, there is also Zhang Shilang who returned home after serving as an official. He also has children at home. Although they are not missing, they must be worried.
If you can solve this case as soon as possible, maybe Mr. Zhang will also put in a few nice words for you. Although he has retired, he has many old disciples. A few nice words from him will be better than your hard work in solving several major cases."
When Xue Qingshan said these words, his tone was full of emotion. He must have experienced something to have such feelings.
"That's...okay."
Qin Shaoyou thought about it and felt that whether it was Paihuazi or Heiyi and other demons, it was indeed easier to deal with than the demons of the Black Lotus Sect.
It seems that the brother-in-law's love has not disappeared, and he still cares about him very much.
And Xue Qingshan's love is not just that.
He then added: "After all, this is the first time you have officially led a team on a mission. I will write you a warrant. You go to the spiritual object room to get two supernatural items, just in case."
"That's what you said!"
Qin Shaoyou's eyes lit up instantly.
He had seen the power of supernatural items before, and it was indeed miraculous.
With supernatural items, the danger of this mission will undoubtedly be reduced a lot.
I just don’t know if these supernatural items can be eaten and are they delicious? What are the benefits of eating them?
Qin Shaoyou swallowed.
Xue Qingshan couldn't help but shudder when he saw this scene.
Suddenly, it felt like he had made a bad decision...
