Chapter 674 Recruitment and preparation for battle
Xu Zhiqiong exhausted all the chaotic energy he had absorbed, extinguished the Divine Eye, and called Shen Weiyi to the Divine Eye Pavilion.
"Wei Yi, you are in the divine eye and can help me see the whereabouts of King Lu."
When Shen Weiyi heard this, his legs immediately went weak: "Sir, this is not allowed. The Divine Machine Eye cannot spy on the royal family. This is the rule of the Divine Machine Division and the rules of the Shen family."
"Rules, rules, there are so many rules," Xu Zhiqiong said with a frown, "According to the rules, your father should be a craftsman of the divine eye for the rest of his life, but I made him a general of the divine machine. Is this according to the rules?"
Shen Weiyi remained silent.
Xu Zhiqiong said again: "If your father was still a magic machine craftsman, you should not join the magic machine company. Now you are still a white man. Do you think this rule is good?"
Shen Weiyi pursed his lips.
Xu Zhiqiong said again: "Your father was in his forties before he became the Divine Machine General. You are only twenty-one years old this year.
If you wait until the age of thirty to become a general, and at the age of thirty-five to become a young minister, by the time you know your destiny, you must have already become a lieutenant.
How do you think I climbed up the ladder? How do you think I got to where I am today? People who follow the rules can't accomplish anything. Those who have the ability to climb up are the ones who have the courage to disobey the rules."
These words were true. It was rare for Xu Zhiqiong to tell the truth to Shen Weiyi.
Shen Weiyi thought for a moment, kowtowed and said: "The Divine Machinery Division all listens to His Majesty. The rules of the Divine Machinery Division must also be obeyed by His Majesty. I, Shen Weiyi, only listen to His Majesty, regardless of the rules." Whatever the Lord Priest tells me to do, I just do it!"
He injected a force of energy into Shenji's eyes and prayed for a long time. King Lu's figure appeared again in the pupils of Shenji's eyes.
Shen Weiyi's power of imagery was not pure enough. He could only see the figure of the fake king in the palace, but he could not see the real king behind bars.
Seeing that King Lu was still arranging his troops in the study, Xu Zhiqiong said: "Wei Yi, you have to work hard today and keep an eye on King Lu's movements in the Shenyan Pavilion."
After saying that, Xu Zhiqiong gave Shen Weiyi two qi-replenishing pills: "These are the best pills. If your qi is not enough, just take one. When today's errand is finished, I will write it down for you." Once you have enough merit, I will promote you to the rank of Divine Machine General!"
Shen Weiyi's blood boiled when he heard this.
Your Majesty is right.
His father, Shen Shuliang, had been pedantic all his life, and only at this age did he become a general.
His grandfather worked as a divine eye craftsman in the Divine Machinery Company all his life, but he was not even able to become a general.
Now it's time for the Shen family to shine.
And hug the single pivot head, this beam, and climb up to the sky step by step.
Looking at Shen Weiyi who was blushing, Xu Zhiqiong nodded with satisfaction, left the Shenyan Pavilion and went to the Shenji Division Prison.
In the Shenji Division Prison, Jiang Shengqun brought more than a hundred prisoners to the hall.
These more than 100 criminal prisoners come from all over Qiancheng. Some have just been arrested in Shenji Division, and some have been detained here for more than ten years.
The only thing they have in common is that they all claim to have great abilities and have committed murders.
Xu Zhiqiong entered the interrogation room and first called in a strong man over eight feet tall. This man's name was Zheng Wanxiao, a famous filial son of the Qiancheng Kingdom. The year before last, the Tunu Kingdom was severely beaten by the Xuan Kingdom and did not get any food. The Qiancheng Kingdom was worried that the Tunu people would starve, so they took the initiative to send 20% more offerings, which resulted in a famine in the Qiancheng Kingdom.
In order to get something to eat for his mother, Zheng Wanxiao cooked a beggar on the roadside alive.
He was a ninth-grade cultivator of the Way of Killing, and the county government did not want to provoke him. What's more, he was just a beggar, so the matter was settled.
It turned out that his mother was addicted to eating meat. Zheng Wanxiao went around looking for meat for his mother and killed a refugee who was fleeing famine. The county magistrate, considering the overall situation, did not make any publicity about the matter.
It happened that a foal newly raised by the magistrate escaped and was caught by Zheng Wanxiao.
Zheng Wanxiao cooked the horse foal and let his mother eat the meat for several days.
This foal was a fine breed purchased by the magistrate from Tunu Country at a great expense, and was carefully fed with wheat mixed with fodder every day.
Is it tolerable for Zheng Wanxiao to eat such a precious foal? Who is intolerable?
The magistrate took the government officials and surrounded Zheng Wanxiao's residence. As a result, many bones were found in Zheng Wanxiao's yard, and it was discovered that the mother and son were cannibals.
Zheng Wanxiao and his son were ready to fight the magistrate.
According to the county magistrate's description afterward, he showed no fear when faced with the frenzied Zheng Wanxiao mother and son. He took a group of government servants with him, calmly ran back to the county government office, closed the door, placed strict precautions, and quickly reported the matter to the Shenji Division.
It was not until the Shenji Department sent people to arrest them that Zheng Wanxiao, mother and son were arrested.
Jiang Shengqun said: "I personally arrested this person. His mother was also a cultivator of the Tao of Killing. She had an eighth-grade cultivation level. She died in prison last year. His cultivation methods were taught by his mother."
Shen Weiyi had been monitoring King Lu with his Divine Machine Eye. At this moment, the Divine Machine Eye lost control of the Judge's Way, and the Eye of Sin Karma could be used normally.
Xu Zhiqiong took a look at Zheng Wanxiao's criminal karma, which was nearly a foot long.
"Do you want to leave this prison?"
Zheng Wanxiao shook his head and said: "Don't try to trick me, you will not forgive me."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "That's not necessarily the case. Tell me, what are your unfulfilled wishes?"
Zheng Wanxiao thought for a moment and said, "I still want to eat meat."
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "Well, I will give you meat tonight. There will be a battle tomorrow. If you can kill one enemy, I will let you eat meat every day. If you can kill three enemies, I will let you go."
What do you think of you leaving the Shenji Division?"
At this point, Zheng Wanxiao had nothing to lose, so he agreed immediately. Xu Zhiqiong ordered people to lock Zheng Wanxiao into a cell on the ground floor.
Jiang Shengqun said from the sidelines: "Sir, is there going to be a war tomorrow?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "There is a big battle, which is related to the life and death of our Shenji Division. Call the next person in!"
The next prisoner walked in. This man was a bandit named Ning Yongwei. He made a living by killing people and selling goods. He had an eighth-level cultivation of killing.
The murder charge was proven, and he had dozens of lives on his hands.
But Xu Zhiqiong had seen the sin karma, and it had just passed two inches and five.
There may be some other reasons here.
Xu Zhiqiong asked: "What is your wish?"
Bandit Ning Yongwei thought he was going to have his head cut off, so he said without thinking, "I want some wine."
"It's easy to say. If we fight tomorrow, as long as we kill one enemy, I'll drink from you every day."
"Kill the enemy?" Ning Yongwei was stunned.
"Yes, kill the enemy, there will be a war tomorrow!"
Ning Yongwei thought for a moment and said: "Then I not only want to drink, I also want to eat some good mutton."
"Kill two enemies and give you mutton to eat every day."
"I still want a girl."
Xu Zhiqiong frowned, then smiled and said: "If you kill three enemies, I will let you leave the Shenji Division. If you want to find a girl, you can go find her."
Ning Yongwei thought for a moment and said, "What is the origin of the enemy you are talking about?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Just ordinary grass bandits."
Ning Yongwei asked again: "How unusual is it?"
"Almost as ordinary as you."
Ning Yongwei thought for a moment and then asked: "If I kill one more person, what reward will you get?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "If you kill one more person, I will reward you with twenty pieces of gold. One piece of gold is as big as a peanut!"
Ning Yongwei is also a death row prisoner. Under normal circumstances, there is no possibility of survival. The Lord Priest gave him a chance. Whether it was true or false, Ning Yongwei could only agree.
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and locked Ning Yongwei into the second-floor cell.
The third person who came in was an old man. Judging from his appearance, he should be around seventy.
He kept holding half of the pancake in his hand, taking a bite from time to time. His teeth were weak and he couldn't chew it thoroughly, so he kept it in his mouth slowly.
Is there a murder case involving this person?
Jiang Shengqun said: "This old man's name is Wu Si. He is seventy-two years old. He was collecting medicine on the mountain that day when he suddenly fell from the hillside and killed the magistrate of Lianzhou who was passing by."
"Who was killed?"
"Prefect of Lianzhou!"
Xu Zhiqiong almost laughed, how could such a coincidence happen?
Jiang Shengqun said: "At that time, the magistrate of Lianzhou got off his sedan chair to relieve himself. The old man fell down and hit the magistrate of Lianzhou. The magistrate of Lianzhou died on the spot. The old man was only slightly injured. The Lord God felt that this man intended to assassinate the magistrate, so he let Shenji
The commander will arrest him."
Xu Zhiqiong glanced at the old man with the pupil of sinful karma. This man had no cultivation and less than half an inch of sinful karma. He was just an honest man.
While talking, the old man took two bites of the pancake and fell into a deep sleep.
Xu Zhiqiong directly had the old man imprisoned in the third floor of the dungeon.
It took nearly two hours for Xu Zhiqiong to interrogate all the prisoners, and more than fifty people were imprisoned on the underground floor.
People at this level have serious crimes and serious crimes, and they must die.
More than 20 people were imprisoned on the second floor of the underground. Their crimes were two inches over, but under four inches. There must be some hidden secrets, and Xu Zhiqiong was prepared to give them a chance.
More than 20 people were imprisoned in the third underground floor. The crimes of these people were less than two inches long, and there was no evidence of their so-called crimes. Xu Zhiqiong imprisoned them together with the succubus, waiting to be released.
At noon the next day, Vice-Chairman Ge Junxin received a secret letter from King Lu.
King Lu asked him to prepare to take over as the chief of the Shenji Division.
Ge Junxin was so excited that he quickly put away the letter, called two personal captains, and said: "I am ill today, and no matter who comes to see me in the Shenji Department, they will not be seen!"
The captain asked: "What if Shan Shushang comes to see you?"
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? Isn't he also in the Shenji Division? He will never be seen!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw "Shan Zhongming" pushing in the door: "You can't even see me. Isn't Mr. Ge's airs too big?"
Ge Junxin's face turned pale and he said: "Sir Shan, I just caught the cold..."
"Wind cold?" Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile, "It must have been someone who blew the wind on Ge Shu's head. The wind was quite strong."
Ge Junxin gave a wink and asked the two captains to rush forward and stop Xu Zhiqiong.
Xu Zhiqiong gently raised his hand and killed two captains in the blink of an eye. He came to Ge Junxin and wiped the blood on his face: "King Lu values you so much and lets you take over the position of chief minister. You are
Shouldn’t we also do something for King Lu?”
…
Late at night, the octogenarian came to Prince Lu's Mansion quietly and was about to find Hong Zhenkang.
But they saw hundreds of soldiers gathered in the Luwang Mansion, ready to go.
Is Hong Zhenkang going to use troops?
His patience is also very poor.
Forget it, since he wants to do something big tonight, I will do something big too.
The octogenarian left Prince Lu's Mansion and went to the Divine Lord's Hall.
