Chapter 667: The Six Hundred Sixth Is Another Cup of Mengyun
Xu Zhiqiong prepared a table of wine and food and was waiting for Shen Shuliang in the main hall of the main building.
Just now, he saw Shen Shuliang controlling the divine machine eye and reenacting the scene two days ago.
What appeared on the screen was Xu Zhiqiong and Niu Yuxian, who were about to cut off the candlestick.
Thanks to the two men wearing night clothes and covering their faces, Shen Shuliang could not see their appearance, otherwise Xu Zhiqiong would not have let Shen Shuliang live until now.
Xu Zhiqiong was even more shocked by the functions of the Divine Machine Eye. It could find judges, find enchantments, teleport over long distances, and reproduce scenes in a certain area.
The evil mirror platform in the small dark room has only this ability to reproduce. The evil mirror platform does not yet have the ability to actively sense and transmit over long distances.
What made Xu Zhiqiong even more puzzling was that he had just seen Shen Shuliang's sinful karma through the Eye of Sinful Karma.
This was the second time he saw the sins of living people in Qiancheng Kingdom, and both times were related to the divine machine eye.
How high is the divine machine eye? How many functions does it have?
No matter what you say, you have to find a way to get this truth out.
Not long after, Shen Shuliang came.
Xu Zhiqiong poured him a glass of wine himself. As usual, Shen Shuliang did not dare to drink it and held it in his hand, feeling uneasy.
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "Shu Liang, you have worked hard these days. Seeing that you forget about food and sleep and stay at the Shenyan Pavilion day and night, you will know that I have not seen the wrong person."
The moment before entering the Shushou Tower, Shen Shuliang had been thinking about one thing, why did the Lord Shushou call him Shushou Tower at this time.
He had always had the illusion that maybe this was just a coincidence.
Now that the illusion is shattered, the Lord must know about the candlestick.
Shen Shuliang had an impulse. He really wanted to tell everything.
But after twelve years as a divine eye craftsman, he has seen too many examples. Anyone who tells the truth in life-or-death situations will not end well in the end.
I can't say that it can be delayed for a while.
Xu Zhiqiong took out a document and handed it to Shen Shuliang.
Shen Shuliang's eyes darkened, thinking that the Lord Privy Council was going to remove him from his official position, but Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "This is what I promised you before. Tomorrow, your eldest son will come to the Shenji Department to take up his post."
Going to take office?
Shen Shuliang was startled, opened the document and read it again.
This is the appointment document for his eldest son, Shen Weiyi. His eldest son, the Privy Councilor, officially appointed his eldest son as the divine eye craftsman.
Xu Zhiqiong took out another appointment document and handed it to Shen Shuliang: "From today on, you are the Shenji General of the Shenji Division."
Shen Shuliang was stunned for a while, then quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. How can a villain be so virtuous and capable as to take on such an important task? How can a dog be so virtuous and capable, yet he is so valued by His Majesty..."
Shen Shuliang had a stupid mouth and muttered these two sentences. Xu Zhiqiong helped Shen Shuliang up and said: "Shu Liang, get up quickly. I once said that I love talents. With your talent and learning, you should have been entrusted to me a long time ago." Great responsibility, Shuliang, stop holding the wine glass and drink it quickly."
Shen Shuliang raised his glass and drank it carefully. Xu Zhiqiong added another glass to him: "I admire your talent and learning. In the future, when you become a general, you have to show some real skills."
"My subordinates are willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses."
"There is something going on right now that requires your efforts."
"My lord, just give me your orders."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Master Lu had a bad start and lost many soldiers before the battle. I want to know the situation in Baifu County, and I need you to use your magic eyes to help me investigate."
Hearing this, Shen Shuliang lowered his head and said, "As long as the evil judge shows up in Baifu County, the divine machine eye will definitely sense it."
"Could it be that if the judge doesn't show up, the divine eye won't be able to see Baifu County?"
"This..." Shen Shuliang murmured for a while, "The divine machine eye can only sense the judge's evil ways, but it cannot present the situation of a certain place at any time."
Seeing Shen Shuliang's face turn red, Xu Zhiqiong knew that he had lied.
"Shu Liang, I have been in the Shenji Division for many years. I have heard about the methods of the Shenji Eye."
Shen Shuliang didn't know how to explain it. He thought for a long time and replied: "The divine machine eye may have great supernatural powers, but his skills are not good. Apart from judging the evil way, he really doesn't know other senses."
It's not that Shen Ji is not smart, it's that I'm incompetent. This answer is really satisfactory.
Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said: "Shu Liang, I have high hopes for you. If you hide your clumsiness, you will betray my good intentions."
Shen Shuliang knelt down with a plop and kept kowtowing: "I don't dare, but I have some ability, and I wish I could use it to the fullest. Apart from detecting the evil ways of the judge, I really don't know that my divine eye has other uses." "
"That's all," Xu Zhiqiong sighed, "get up and talk, and eat a bar."
The guy refused to talk, and Xu Zhiqiong didn't force him.
If you don't say it, someone will say it for you.
After having this table of wine for an hour, Shen Shuliang thanked him and left.
I thought it was time for the Lord to rest, but I didn't expect that Xu Zhiqiong was in such good spirits that he insisted on interrogating the succubus all night long.
Li Jie asked: "Sir, which succubus do you want to interrogate?"
"Call Jiang Mengyun!"
Luo Hui and Li Jie went to the prison. On the way, Luo Hui kept complaining: "Brother, let's not sleep tonight. That Jiang Mengyun is not an ordinary person."
Li Jie sighed: "How come our adults are in such good spirits today? During the day, he looks so sad, but at night he drinks and acts like a charmer. I don't know where he got so much strength!"
Not long after, the two brought Jiang Mengyun over.
Jiang Mengyun was originally a noble lady, the daughter of Earl Jiang Jixue. Because of her bold and unrestrained temperament, she had close contacts with many famous princes, and was quite famous in Shenlin City.
Two years ago, Jiang Jixue offended the king of Lu, Hong Zhenkang, and was demoted to a commoner. Jiang Mengyun was reported as a charmer and was imprisoned in the Shenji Division.
This test lasted for two years. Jiang Mengyun was charming and courteous, and won the favor of Shan Zhongming. She did not suffer in these years.
After entering the main building, she didn't kneel on the ground like Liu Xiangping, holding up a whip, waiting to be beaten. She first added a furnace of incense to Xu Zhiqiong, and made a pot of tea. Then she picked up the wine utensils and Cooking wine quietly on the side.
While cooking the wine, he glanced at Xu Zhiqiong from time to time, and said with affection in his clear eyes: "The weather is getting warmer, so the heat of this wine should not be too high."
After seeing this look, Xu Zhiqiong nodded and smiled: "This matter belongs to you."
…
The next day, Shen Shuliang's eldest son, Shen Weiyi, came to the Shenji Division to take up his post. Over the night, Shen Shuliang gave many instructions and instructions, and explained the rules of the Shenji Division over and over again.
Some rules are real, and some rules were learned by Shen Shuliang himself over the years.
"Whether you are talking to the ordinary sergeants below or the gentlemen above, you must be polite. We will not go out to fight, nor will we compete with them for credit. We will not offend others with a few words."
"When adults ask questions, just answer honestly. If you know something, you know it. If you don't know it, you don't know it. I have been in the Shenji Division for twelve years. I have seen people lose their jobs or even lose their lives because of their talkativeness. Too much."
"The secret techniques I taught you are related to our lives. You must remember that except for the two people I mentioned, you can't tell anyone."
…
On the first day he took office, Shen Weiyi was very diligent. He first cleaned the Divine Eye Pavilion from top to bottom, and then came to the candlestick to practice various techniques.
Shen Shuliang quickly stopped him: "Without an order from the Lord Privy Council, you cannot use your magic eyes at will!"
Shen Weiyi said: "Dad, I don't use Qi Ji, I just use a candlestick to practice my techniques."
Shen Shuliang shook his head and said: "That's not okay. This is the Divine Eye Pavilion, the most important place of the Divine Machinery Division. When we work here, we must abide by the rules and be respectful..."
Shen Shuliang said so much, in fact, it was to remind Shen Weiyi not to touch the candlestick easily.
He suspected that the candlestick had been replaced by thieves, but he did not dare to tell his son.
Shen Weiyi patiently listened reluctantly.
Shen Shuliang kept talking until noon. After lunch, it was time for Shen Shuliang to take office. Shen Weiyi finally had a moment of peace.
Not to mention, on the first day after taking office, Shen Shuliang had an errand, and another succubus appeared outside the city. Xu Zhiqiong asked Shen Shuliang to arrest the succubus within three days.
It was Shen Shuliang's first time as General Shenji. He had never handled a case before and was at a loss as to what to do.
The Lord Priest took great care of Shen Shuliang and asked Jiang Shengqun to go with him.
Li Jie was very puzzled: "Sir, do you want Jiang Shengqun to catch the succubus?"
Xu Zhiqiong said in surprise: "What if we let him go?"
Li Jie smacked his lips and said, "This Jiang Shengqun, he, he can't catch the enchantress."
"If you can't even catch the succubus, why are you acting like a magical general? Let's find another job for him another day."
Jiang Shengqun really couldn't hold his head high because he failed to catch the succubus and killed more than thirty people.
But what Li Jie was referring to was not this. Jiang Shengqun had failed many times in catching the succubus, both with the real succubus and with the fake succubus.
He couldn't defeat the real succubus, but he didn't want to catch the fake succubus.
Although he is a Confucian practitioner, Jiang Shengqun despises bullying women.
When setting off, Shen Shuliang asked carefully: "General Jiang, this is my first time on a mission. What are the rules when catching a succubus?"
Jiang Shengqun smiled and said: "There are not many rules and things are easy to handle. Have you been to Wayao?"
Shen Shuliang said: "I have learned construction techniques and am also good at burning tiles."
Jiang Shengqun shook his head and said: "I'm not talking about green tiles or red tiles, but white tiles, snow-white tiles."
"Snow-white tiles..."
What construction method is this?
"You will know if you have been there. Your Majesty gave us three days. We can see a lot of good tiles."
Shen Shuliang followed Jiang Shengqun on an errand.
In the evening, Xu Zhiqiong set up a table of wine and called the newly appointed divine eye craftsman Shen Weiyi over.
On the first day he took office, he met the Lord Privy Council and even drank from His Majesty's wine.
Shen Weiyi was flattered, but not as panicked as his father. He was very respectful in front of Xu Zhiqiong, but not timid. After two glasses of wine, he was even a little chatty.
Xu Zhiqiong likes people like this. Such people are not stubborn and are easier to deal with than truly honest people.
"Mengyun, pour some wine for Weiyi."
Jiang Mengyun poured hot wine for Shen Weiyi, and Shen Weiyi drank it all in one gulp, peeking at Jiang Mengyun from time to time.
Jiang Mengyun lowered his head and said nothing, his cheeks slightly red.
Xu Zhiqiong smiled when he saw this: "Mengyun, give Weiyi another drink."
