The Night Detective Department is under the direct control of the imperial power and is independent of the six departments.
In addition to guarding local evil spirits, he also had an extremely terrifying power, which was to supervise all officials.
Therefore, even the rich and powerful children of Liang Ping'an are eager to get in. The reason is very simple. It is better to do it yourself than to be supervised by others.
Of course, this does not mean that entering the Night Detective Division will enable you to guard against theft, but it is still possible to receive some information in advance so that you can prepare for it.
After Jiang Chaoge followed Liang Ping'an into the Night Investigation Department's Yamen, he went straight to the case redemption warehouse.
As a place for checking files, there are many night watchmen coming and going from the door of the case library. They are all dressed in black clothes with different cloud patterns embroidered on them.
As for weapons, the Night Reconnaissance Division does not come standard with a rusty spring knife like Jin Yiwei's, and it seems a bit varied.
Jiang Chaoge even saw a night watchman carrying two big copper hammers in his hands, swaying left and right as he walked, looking very powerful and domineering.
Liang Ping'an showed envy in his eyes: "Wait, when I pass the exam, I can also wear this night patrol uniform!"
"You're laughing so hard, Mr. Liang, I'm afraid he has taken the exam three times, right?" The Tonghammer night watchman who happened to be passing by smiled and stabbed Liang Ping'an in the back.
"What do you know? The ghost I dealt with this time, even Ji Ruxue can't do anything to her, you can do it!" Liang Ping'an replied fiercely.
"I heard about it, but I don't know what kind of ghost it is? Mr. Liang, can you tell me?"
"You're laughing so hard, did you think I would tell you?"
Liang Ping'an responded immediately, so the night watchman carrying the copper hammer gave a bitter smile and left quickly, with no intention of asking Jiang Chaoge about his identity.
Jiang Chaoge was quite surprised.
But soon, he understood that if you dare to come into a place like the Night Detective Department, it means you can come in. As for the ghosts... how can you dare to come close?
…
The redemption warehouse is a five-story attic.
After Liang Pingan took Jiang Chaoge into the door of the redemption warehouse, he took out a handwritten letter and handed it to the gatekeeper.
Jiang Chaoge took a look at the handwriting, which marked the scope of authority for him and Liang Ping'an to access the files. Ji Ruxue's name was written on the signature, and there was a seal stamped on it.
"You two can browse the first and second floors at will."
After the gatekeeper finished speaking, he took the handwritten letter over. The meaning was very clear, none of the above would work.
Jiang Chaoge asked: "I wonder what the difference is between this floor and the second floor?"
"The first floor is full of mountain spirits and ghosts. It is divided into retained files and new files. The retained files are on the left and the new files are on the right. The second floor is the official files. As for the official rank, you will know it after reading it." The gatekeeper replied.
road.
Jiang Chaoge nodded, thanked him again, and then turned to the left on the first floor.
And Liang Ping'an ran to the right: "Brother Jiang, I won't accompany you anymore. I have to go to the right to see if there are any new cases recently, hehe."
Jiang Chaoge knew that Liang Ping'an wanted to try his luck again. If he was lucky and missed something, he would have passed the night watchman's test.
For example, last time, he was very lucky and picked up Xiaoshan Village!
"I wish Brother Liang good luck."
"Thank you."
So, the two of them walked left and right.
The reason why Jiang Chaoge entered the Night Detective Division to redeem his treasury was naturally not just to save Magistrate Zhou, because his biggest wish in this life was actually to become a ghost and immortal and reshape his body.
If you want to become a ghost fairy, there are only two ways: one is to practice on your own, and the other is to find ghosts.
Then, he chose again, want both!
You have to work hard to cultivate, but you also have to find ghosts!
But he now has a weakness, that is, his method of subduing ghosts is too "novice". The ghosts may not be able to hurt him, but it is actually quite difficult for him to catch the ghosts.
Bai Wuchang is a typical example. Bai Wuchang can't kill him, but he can run away if he wants to.
What if he had powerful enough means? He trapped Bai Wuchang in one fell swoop and grabbed Bai Wuchang to tear him to the ground. It is estimated that there is no Wuchang in the underworld now.
Of course, just think about it, impermanence is not bad, why do you need to kill it?
"If you want to learn how to catch ghosts, the Night Detective Division is undoubtedly the best choice at this stage. Official ghost hunting also has no moral flaws. After all, if you are a good ghost and has not committed a crime, you will not be able to enter the Night Detective Division.
Redeem the treasury.”
Unfortunately, it is not possible to enter the Night Detective Division just if you want to!
Jiang Chaoge deliberately learned that the local county government would not be involved in the cases handled by the Night Investigation Department. If he wanted to join the Night Investigation Department, there was only one way for the Night Investigation Department to take the initiative to find him.
So, he had a bold idea.
"Kill the River God!"
Magistrate Zhou's silver happened to fall into the river, and Miss Zhou also fell into the river and died. It seemed that he had a need to get in touch with this river god, both for public and private reasons.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone!
When Jiang Chaoge had this idea, an idea flashed through his mind, and he immediately announced loudly: "I, Jiang, want to kill the River God!"
In this way, he will definitely attract the attention of the Night Detective Division, and then he will attract a burst of ridicule. Finally, he will kill the River God with one sword, shocking the world.
However, ideas can be bold, but reality is cruel after all.
What exactly is this river god, and what is its strength? Does it cause any harm?
He actually doesn't even know.
To be on the safe side, he decided to go to the Night Detective Department first to see if there was any file on the River God. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if someone like Jiang leaked his words and failed to defeat him?
Only thorough preparation is the key to victory.
He couldn't do the kind of thing in novels where the protagonist shouts "The river god has come to accept his fate" and then splits the river in half with a sword, staining the river with blood.
After all, he, Jiang, didn't cheat?
Jiang Chaoge's inner thought was that if the River God was still kind and Miss Zhou was not harmed by him, then he would find a way to negotiate terms with him and see if it was possible to recover the lost disaster relief money.
If he is evil, then try to fuck him!
"Don't worry, I, Mr. Jiang, will live forever. What I don't lack most is time!"
When Jiang Chaoge reached the left side, he began to search according to the markings on the wooden cabinet. Soon, he saw a file covered with dust.
…
There is a branch of the Qing River named Qing.
The Qinghe River passes through Huai'an and stops at Qulin. The water is turbid and the sand is fast. Although dams were built, the effect was little. The river water rose sharply in successive years, covering countless fertile fields.
In the 264th year of the Qin Dynasty, the Night Detective Department went on patrol and found an object in the river. It was as big as a mountain, had sharp teeth and scales, liked to swallow living creatures, and had a ferocious nature.
Everyone said: This is the river god!
In the summer of the 265th year of the Great Qin calendar, forty-three night watchmen, armed with swords and armor, attempted to arrest him. Twenty-seven of them died and returned.
The spring of the 278th year of the Qin Dynasty...
Two hundred and ninety-four years in the Qin calendar...
In the autumn of the 325th year of the Qin Dynasty, seventy-eight night watchmen prepared iron ropes and silver nets, and drove three boats. Eventually, the three boats capsized and two of them capsized. Thirty-six more night watchmen fell into the river, and their lives and deaths were unknown.
…
The most recent incident occurred in the 325th year of the Qin Dynasty. Eight years ago, thirty-six of the seventy-eight night watchmen died at one time.
Jiang Chaoge looked at the River God File in his hand and was shocked.
He seemed to understand a little bit why Liang Ping'an didn't suggest him to make money, but suggested that he mend the hole and rescue County Magistrate Zhou first.
Good guy, this river god is so fierce!
Sixty-nine years have passed since the earliest discovery. Four sieges and killings were carried out, and all four failed. Three digits of the night watchmen died in the mouth of the river god.
Moreover, no one knows how many years this river god practiced before entering Qinghe.
If nothing else, this is at least a century-old monster!
