Zhao Fang sat quietly on his seat with his head lowered, a dagger inserted into his chest, his slightly old palm tightly grasping the handle of the knife, and bright red blood flowing down the wound.
This man who had been the county magistrate of Lin'an City for twenty years finally died by his own hands.
Shen Changqing's face was calm, and there was not much turmoil in his heart.
In his eyes.
From the moment Zhao Fang turned his back on the human race and colluded with evil spirits, he was already committing a capital crime.
The other party will commit suicide because he understands that he is on the verge of death and any resistance is in vain.
Take out the Qingling Jade Pendant.
There are still only two black lines on it.
"It seems that Zhao Fang has indeed not become a monster." The last trace of doubt in Shen Changqing's heart was finally eliminated.
Qingling Jade Pendant did not respond.
That proves that Zhao Fang, like Zhuang Mingyuan, has not abandoned the human body and turned to evil.
I looked at the body twice.
Shen Changqing did not move, but stood up and walked towards the study at the back of the inner hall.
The study room is not small.
The interior layout is also quite exquisite, filled with a faint fragrance of ink.
Sitting down where Zhao Fang usually sat, Shen Changqing took a piece of white paper and spread it flat in front of him.
Grinding ink.
Get the pen.
He recorded everything that happened today.
Although it has only been two days in Lan'an City, a lot has happened.
First, there was the betrayal of Zhang Long and Zhao Fang, then the killing of ghost-level monsters, as well as Zhuang Mingyuan and the Eternal Life Alliance. Many news were mixed together, making Shen Changqing feel some pressure.
These things.
They all have to be reported to the Demon Suppression Division one by one.
It’s okay not to report it.
If you just kill a monster or a monster, you can easily find an excuse to get past it, but if the magistrate of a city dies, it is a big deal.
If he doesn't explain everything clearly, even if he is from the Demon Suppression Division, he will be in big trouble.
Of course.
in the process of writing.
Shen Changqing also avoids the important and takes the easy.
for example.
The strength of the ghost-level monsters is not close to breaking through the resentment level, but it is just stronger than the average first-time ghost-level monster.
no way.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain one's own strength.
Now that he has broken through the innate realm, looking at the many peerless geniuses and monsters in the Demon Suppressing Division, none of them can break through the innate realm in just one year.
so.
Shen Changqing needs to hide himself a little to avoid causing too much trouble.
Innate realm.
It seems to be more powerful than Tongmai, but in the Demon Suppressing Division, it is only at the level of Xuan-level demon slayers. There are still earth-level and heaven-level demon slayers above the Xuan level.
Except.
On top of the Demon Slayer, there is also the Guardian Envoy.
That is the most powerful existence in the entire Demon Suppression Division, and it is also the strong confidence that allows Da Qin to fight against demons for more than three hundred years and has not yet fallen.
I have achieved a breakthrough within one year.
Even if you can use your talent to deal with it, if some caring people notice it, you will be in trouble.
It's worth saying.
The writing tools in this world are not much different from what Shen Changqing learned about in his previous life.
It took less than half an hour.
He just finished writing everything he needed to write.
The true energy surged out slightly, dried all the ink marks, simply folded it and put it in his arms, Shen Changqing stood up and left.
at this time.
The sound of the night watch sounded.
"It's midnight!"
Shen Changqing looked at the darkness around him and immediately found the few government officials who stayed behind at the government office.
Yamen is an important place.
Yamen also need to patrol day and night.
Because one person's energy is limited, he needs to be replaced occasionally when patrolling day and night, so a separate side room is also set up in the yamen for those people to rest.
Such a big thing happened at night, and even the most arrogant person could not fall asleep.
When Shen Changqing arrived, everyone just sat there.
"Shen, Master Shen!"
A government servant who looked a bit older stood up cautiously and could not help but tremble when he spoke.
Zhao Fang colluded with evil spirits. They are both members of the Yamen, so they might also be implicated.
I heard that the people in the Demon Suppressing Division are ruthless and treat human life as nothing. If he gets angry, he might be doomed.
Shen Changqing didn't know the other person's random thoughts, and looked at the other person with a dull look.
"May I have your name?"
"Qi, Qi, Lord Shen, my humble name is Hong Cheng!"
"How many years have you served in Lin'an City? Is there anyone in the yamen who is older than you?"
"I have been working in Lin'an City for almost ten years. Except for Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhang, no one has been here longer than me."
Hong Cheng answered honestly.
Shen Changqing nodded: "Very good. From today on, you will temporarily take over the position of head catcher until the appointment from the court comes. Right now I need you to do a few things."
"Ah, oh, Master Shen, please tell me!"
Hong Cheng froze on the spot, then quickly reacted, with uncontrollable joy on his face.
If you temporarily take over the position of arresting the head, it means that you will not be implicated.
and.
When the new county magistrate arrives, he might actually be the headhunter.
An inexplicable promotion is like a pie falling from the sky.
"Now that Zhao Fang has confessed and committed suicide, you should send someone to dispose of his body. Don't bury him for the time being. Wait until the Demon Suppressor or the court officials arrive before you deal with it."
Shen Changqing thought for a moment and then continued.
"In addition, you bring some people and seal off the Zhao family's residence. No one is allowed to leave, otherwise you will all be killed!"
At the last sentence, his expression became stern.
Hong Cheng's heart trembled and he nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, I will never let anyone from the Zhao family escape."
"That's the best, let's go!"
Shen Changqing waved his hand, turned around and left the room.
He didn't go anywhere else.
After leaving the Yamen, he went straight back to the inn where he originally stayed.
It's been a tiring day.
After several more battles.
Even for innate warriors, there are times when they can't bear it, and that kind of exhaustion is not only physical, but also mental.
——
The next day.
Shen Changqing stood up on time and breathed in the first ray of purple energy between heaven and earth.
His biological clock has been completely fixed, so no matter how tired he was the day before, it won't have much impact.
Swallow the purple gas.
There is no change in the pure Yang Qi.
Actually.
There are only nine levels of Pure Yang Gong, and it is considered complete after reaching the ninth level. Shen Changqing forced a breakthrough to the eleventh level, completely breaking the limit of Pure Yang Gong.
Today’s Pure Yang Gong.
It is no longer comparable to the pure Yang skills of the past.
The pure Yang Qi cultivated inside has also undergone a powerful transformation, which is completely different from the real Pure Yang Qi.
after all--
Even at the ninth level of Pure Yang Gong, it is impossible to create fire out of thin air with the help of Pure Yang Qi.
