What happened at Wanhua Tower last night had already made Nie Xu very anxious.
As a result, before things at Wanhua Tower could be settled, other people had troubles.
If it were in the past, a few deaths would have been able to suppress public opinion.
But at this juncture, if a few more people die, the turmoil caused can be imagined.
The main thing is.
If there are evil spirits hiding in Jincheng, if they are not removed as soon as possible, the consequences will be disastrous.
If when the defenses were relaxed and a few more people died, Nie Xu felt that he should step down.
Hearing this, Shen Changqing did not immediately agree.
"The Black Tiger Army has always been powerful and has killed many evil spirits. Now that the Black Tiger Army has entered the city, if there are other evil spirits hiding in Jincheng, I think the Black Tiger Army can be enough to deal with it. Master Nie is looking for me to come here, which is a bit too far away! "
Although he had not seen the power of the Black Tiger Army with his own eyes, he could see it just from the aura of the soldiers.
Let’s talk again.
The Wen Ce in front of us is a master who is not weak.
General evil spirits, given their strength, won’t be a big problem in dealing with them.
Before Nie Xu had time to reply, Wen Ce, who was standing aside, had already taken the lead in replying.
“Master Shen doesn’t know something. Although the Black Tiger Army says that it won’t be a problem to deal with the evil spirits, the concealment methods of the evil spirits are not weak. It is not easy for the ordinary Black Tiger Army to accurately find the evil spirits.
In comparison, the people of the Demon Suppression Division have always dealt with evil spirits. I believe that finding evil spirits will be much easier than that of the Black Tiger Army.
So I hope Master Shen can take action to help the Black Tiger Army find the evil spirits."
Speaking of which.
Wen Ce suddenly bowed and bowed.
"I would also like to mention the people of Jincheng and thank Lord Shen in advance."
Looking at Wen Ce's movements, Shen Changqing had a half-smiling look on his face.
Didn’t expect that.
The military attaché in front of me was even better judged than the civil servant Nie Xu.
Normally, even if Wen Ce said it again, he would be too lazy to pay attention.
but.
Looking for evil spirits is Shen Changqing’s goal.
At the moment, there is not much killing value left on the panel. If you want to improve your strength in a short period of time, you must kill enough monsters.
so.
Even if Wen Ce and Nie Xu didn't tell them, when it became clear that there were evil spirits, he would find a way to go and have a look. It would be great to have the opportunity to kill a few evil spirits.
But Nie Xu spoke first, and Shen Changqing asked in detail.
If there is any trouble that you are not aware of, you must be prepared in advance.
Looked deeply at Wen Ce.
Shen Changqing smiled lightly: "Lord Wen is joking. As a member of the Demon Suppression Division, I put the people first. Even if Lord Wen doesn't say this, I can't refuse."
The implication.
I, Shen Changqing, do things that have nothing to do with you, Wen Ce.
To this.
Wen Ce’s expression was calm, with no major changes.
There was a pause.
Shen Changqing looked at Nie Xu: "There is no need for the Black Tiger Army to intervene in the matter of slaying evil spirits. Our Demon Suppression Division will handle it on our own. When the time comes, the Yamen will send someone to lead the way, and the rest will be left to me. That’s it.”
“Thank you very much, Mr. Shen!”
Nie Xu had a smile on his face and turned a blind eye to the conversation between the two of them.
He is the magistrate of Jincheng and has only one purpose, which is to maintain the stability of Jincheng.
The rest.
What does it have to do with myself?
As if thinking of something, Shen Changqing couldn't help but said: "I also went to Wanhua Building just now and saw that the Yamen sent people to block that street?"
“That’s right.”
Nie Xu nodded, the smile on his face much reduced.
“All the people on the street died at the hands of evil spirits last night, and the bodies were burned overnight. Now I am not sure whether there are still evil spirits hiding there.
If there is really an evil spirit hiding there, and if other people get involved again, there may be bloodshed."
“It turns out that Mr. Nie is worried about this problem.”
Shen Changqing looked as if he was stunned, then shook his head again.
“Master Nie can rest assured about this. I went to the Wanhua Tower earlier and I can confirm that all the evil spirits there have retreated. Even the evil aura is not much left.
Sending people to blockade the area would undoubtedly be a waste of the Yamen's manpower.
Moreover, street blockades will always have a certain impact on people's hearts, and this matter needs to be carefully considered."
Hear the words.
Nie Xu didn't feel much strange. Instead, he thought about Shen Changqing's words carefully and finally nodded.
“Since Mr. Shen has determined that there are no evil spirits there, there is no need to keep people there. After all, as Mr. Shen said, if people from the yamen blockade the place, it will cause some unnecessary trouble.”
Blockade the streets.
Even if it is true that there are no evil spirits inside the streets, other people will mistakenly think that there are still evil spirits there if they see it.
Otherwise, why would the Yamen send people to guard there?
This is the human heart.
It is not something that can be comforted by just one or two sentences.
As long as the people from the yamen stay there, they will always be a source of fear.
at this point.
Shen Changqing understood it, and Nie Xu also understood it.
Then he looked at the person next to him and said in a deep voice: "Master Liu, go and ask Mr. Liu and the others to bring the people back."
"yes!"
Chief Secretary Liu nodded and left the Yamen.
Nie Xu looked at the other government officials again: "You should take care of all the corpses on the ground so as not to cause any trouble."
“I understand the humble position!”
“Master Shen, Master Wen, let’s go into the inner hall and sit down for a while, and we’ll talk about it when Mr. Liu comes back.”
After Nie Xu finished his instructions, he said to the two of them.
See this.
Neither of them refused.
——
Inner hall.
It is worth mentioning that the inner hall of Jincheng Yamen is much larger than the inner hall of Lin'an City Yamen.
Maybe it’s because Jincheng is a big city.
Leaving aside other things, the population of Jincheng alone is not comparable to that of Lin'an City.
The three of them were seated.
Soon a yamen servant served tea.
Nie Xu picked up the teacup, took a sip, then put it back again, his eyes falling on Shen Changqing.
“Master Shen, something like this is happening in Jincheng now. Is there any news from the Demon Suppression Division?”
“Lord Nie is joking. I am affiliated with the Demon Suppressing Division of the capital. Dahuang Mansion is far away from the capital. If there is any news to be sent back and forth, it will not be possible to go back and forth in just two days.
As for the Demon Suppression Division in Dahuang Mansion, I have no contact.
You are asking the wrong person."
Shen Changqing shook his head and laughed.
Every prefecture has a demon slayer. Although each demon slayer is interoperable, the demon slayer underneath does not have the means to communicate with all the demon slayers.
most of the time.
Demon slayers are always connected to the demon slayers they are from, and have little contact with other demon slayers.
If there is any movement in the Demon Suppression Division in Dahuang Mansion.
to be honest.
He really doesn’t know.
Hear the words.
Nie Xu also knew that he had made a mistake, so he couldn't help but smile to cover up his embarrassment.
About half an hour.
Liu Captou came in from the outside, bowed his head and clasped his fists at Nie Xu: "Sir, I have come back from your humble position!"
"Hmm." Nie Xu nodded, and then said: "Last night there were evil spirits raging in other parts of the city. Capt. Liu should also be aware of it, right?"
“That’s natural.”
Although Liu Captou didn't know what Nie Xu meant, he admitted it frankly.
Speak up.
Those corpses were discovered by him and others.
Nie Xu said: "That's easy to handle. Captain Liu will take Mr. Shen to visit several crime sites to see if there are any evil spirits left there."
"no problem."
Liu Captou was startled, but he quickly came to his senses.
Nie Xu nodded and then raised his hands to Shen Changqing.
“Master Shen, Jincheng is not yet stable, and I still have many matters to deal with, so it is not convenient for me to accompany you there for the time being. For now, Capt. Liu will replace me and accompany Master Shen to the location of the crime.
I wonder what Mr. Shen thinks?"
Unlike Liu Captou, when facing Shen Changqing, he still had to follow the other side's opinions.
Shen Changqiang nodded: "Okay."
Hearing the agreement, Nie Xu was slightly relieved.
“Then there’s Lord Lao Shen!”
"polite."
Shen Changqing stood up.
"Without further delay, we don't want to waste time. Let's ask Chief Liu to lead the way. As for other things, let's talk about it after we deal with the evil spirits."
“Mr. Shen, please!”
Liu Captou turned sideways, and when Shen Changqing left the inner hall, he also left.
Go out of the Yamen.
Shen Changqing paused, turned to Captain Liu and said, "I'm not very familiar with Jincheng. Since Captain Liu knows the location of the crime, I'll let you lead the way."
“Yes, Mr. Shen, please.”
Liu Captou smiled and pointed to the right.
“Master Shen, please come with me.”
"Um."
Shen Changqing hummed slightly and walked shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Liu.
Along the way.
When some people saw Mr. Liu holding a sword, they would stop for a moment, or nod with a smile and say hello.
To this.
Liu Captou would also nod in response.
Seeing this, Shen Changqing couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems that Liu Baotou is very popular among the people in Jincheng!"
“Sir Shen is joking. His humble position is just that he has been working as an errand in Jincheng for some years and is relatively familiar with the people.”
“Speaking of which, I still don’t know what Mr. Liu’s real name is?”
“Reporting to Lord Shen, my real name is Liu Jian.”
“Liu Jian.”
Shen Changqing silently recited the name and finally remembered it.
When the two of them were talking, there was no pause in their steps.
Not long.
They walked through the busy streets and came to a quiet and empty place.
A well exists alone there.
Liu Jian stopped and pointed to the well in front of him: "Mr. Shen, this is where one of the bodies was found. The well is usually used by nearby people, but since the murder occurred at night, no one dares to approach it anymore. Already.
When the body was discovered, it also fell there by the well."
While Liu Jian was speaking.
Shen Changqing also felt the vague and sinister aura from the well in front of him.
