After sending away the guardian envoy, Mai Shiyu officially became the head of the Zhuocheng District Inspection Department.
how to say? It feels pretty good.
After throwing the two doctors out with a smile and searching for the devil's lair all over the city, Deputy Mai summoned the remaining people from the District Prosecution Department.
As the county seat of Riyang County, Zhaocheng has a lot of talents in the local procuratorate. Although Deputy Mai has only half of the people left, his strength is no less than that of Xing Ji's original subordinates. After all, Marquis Gao Yuan's power in Yunzhou has become more stable in recent years, and the construction of training camps has become more and more complete. The talents trained by these people have gradually emerged. The Prosecution Department directly under the monarch has ushered in great development, and it can almost keep pace with the administrative officials.
The guardian envoy is very particular about his work and has taken away most of the veterans and veterans. The remaining ones for deputy envoy Mai are the younger generation. They may be a little less powerful, but they are all solid and capable of commanding Mai Shiyu. The power of movement.
Mai Shiyu summoned everyone not inside the house, but chose the courtyard. The original garrison of Zhaocheng was a very particular person. The courtyard of the government office was very large, with flowers and trees planted all over, and springs surrounding the house. In the spring, flowers were in full bloom, and fallen flowers were flying.
"Do you know what the guardian envoy led the team to do?"
As soon as Mai Shiyu opened his mouth, everyone was in a daze.
"Didn't you go to defend the Demon Cave based on Dr. Qingtianji's speculation?"
"of course not."
Mai Shiyu smiled and said: "They have a more important task - to eliminate the demon sect."
"Devil Cult?!"
Everyone was stunned. After all, the headquarters of the Holy Moon Sect is in the southwest, and it has only spread to the north in recent years. They can occasionally be seen in the Demon Cave. But their style is to come and go without a trace. Most of the prosecutors are passive defense, and active encirclement and suppression are extremely rare.
To be honest, the responsibilities of the Prosecution Department do not include eradicating the demonic sect. It should be dealt with by the Xingtian Department specially set up by the imperial court to deal with several major "enemies of the DPRK".
However, the power of the imperial court has declined over the years. The local procuratorates can still be reorganized and reorganized by the princes from various places, and they are quite effective, but it is difficult to describe the several large yamen in the central government. Tongming Hall is almost independent, Qingtian Temple is full of gangsters, and Xingtian Office is reduced to the point where it can't recruit enough people. Therefore, the demon sect is becoming more and more powerful and difficult to control.
Everyone present was a native of Yunzhou, and less than eleven of them had ever fought against the demon sect, let alone eradicated it, so they were all a little confused.
Mai Shiyu continued: "Devil Cult? You haven't seen it, have you? I have. The Demon Cult is very cruel and strange. In order to get close to the demon, they will do anything they can, even making themselves look like humans or ghosts. , to gain powerful and strange strength. Wherever there is a demon cave, they will go there to cause destruction. Now that they have extended their tentacles to Haocheng again, if we don’t wipe them out, just wait for the demon cave to appear and they will sneak attack on us. "
This was definitely true, and everyone nodded, indicating that they were irreconcilable with the Demon Sect. There are also some veteran worries: If the Demonic Cult is so strong, will the Guardian Envoy be okay?
Not every garrison envoy is good at fighting. The garrison envoys in Zhaocheng are famous for their sophisticated tactics, experience, and age. Gao Yuanhou had already guarded the city before he went north. He was also one of the few old people retained by the prince to guard the city. He had been guarding the city for decades, doing everything thoughtfully, without making any mistakes, and without setting up any dazzling projects. Credit, and it is said that his strength has declined as he gets older.
But if the guardian envoy can't do it, can this young and shameless deputy envoy do it? She has only been here for more than a year, and she has never made any achievements. Most people have not seen her strength, only her temper - which is too big to offend.
"But - do you think everything will be fine if you take out the demon sect's base outside?"
Mai Shiyu raised his voice, raised two fingers, and said: "Two days, only two days left! Could it be that the news of the Demon Cave has been out for so long, and everyone in the Demon Cult is staying in the countryside and not infiltrating into the city? , Just wait for the day when the Demon Cave arrives before launching full force? There is no such fool. We have always paid attention to the Demon Cave, and there will inevitably be omissions in the city's defense. I believe that there must be more than one Demon Cult member in the city, disguised as a commoner, waiting for a sneak attack when the time comes. "
"So, not only must we clean up outside the city, but we must also clean up inside the city. We must catch out all the demon cult members who are mixed among the people!"
Her words were conclusive and her logic was self-consistent, and everyone was unconsciously convinced by her. One person said: "Deputy envoy, the people of the Demon Cult are very cunning. How can we identify them?"
Mai Shiyu said: "That's a good question. This is indeed a difficult problem. I thought of a way. What kind of bullshit moon god does their demon sect believe in? If they don't believe in Dongjun, they will make a fuss here."
"I have called all the temple blessings from Dongjun Temple and told them to hold a blessing ceremony in the temple tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Those who tell the people to go will get Dongjun's blessings and their families will be safe. Ordinary people will definitely be willing to go, and those who don't will It’s very suspicious.”
The director of the public prosecutor's office nodded at what she said and said, "Then arrest all those who don't go?"
Mai Shiyu said: "We can't be so arbitrary. Maybe there are one or two people who don't believe in anything and are willing to stay at home. For those who don't want to go, let's go door to door to persuade them. Ordinary people will not be afraid when they see a businessman with a knife coming to their door. Believe it or not, they must have gone. If it is still delayed, then there is a real problem."
"I think there must be some believers pretending to go there. When they arrive, they will write banners criticizing Hueyue and the demon at the door. Those who have strange expressions after seeing them are also suspicious. There are also people who are shouting slogans to eliminate Hueyue. Those who are not Those who open their mouths will inevitably have ghosts in their hearts, and..."
She said several things in one breath, all with the same idea, asking everyone to go to Dongjun Temple to participate in the Dharma gathering. Those who didn't go would have no choice.
Everyone nodded, although they felt that it would be unavoidable to mobilize troops, but it seemed to be okay. Because although it is troublesome, there is no danger. If you drive away the people, you will face sporadic demon cultists at most. The people here are at least heavy swordsmen, so how can you be afraid?
Mai Shiyu said: "Everyone, go and prepare. I will make arrangements again and take action this afternoon. Our focus this time is Nancheng. Nancheng is full of ordinary people's homes, and the houses are densely packed. It is easiest to hide traitors and attract thieves. When the time comes, everyone will gather. When we get to Dongjun Temple, everyone should work harder and search door to door again to make sure nothing slips through the net."
Everyone agreed loudly and went separately.
Mai Shiyu stretched out his hand, caught a piece of peach blossom flying from the branch, and smiled:
It seems to be going well.
With the successive actions of the District Prosecution Division, a strange atmosphere gradually filled the city.
Those with a sensitive sense of smell immediately sense something is wrong.
In a tile-roofed house in Nancheng, several men and women were restless.
One of the middle-aged men sat in the middle and tried to calm himself down. He couldn't help but bang his hand on the table and said, "Something's wrong."
Someone on the other side asked: "Flag Master, what do you see?"
The middle-aged man shook his head slightly and said, "There has been something wrong lately. I always have an ominous premonition."
The premonition was just a blur, that is, they didn't see anything, so everyone relaxed a little.
An old man stood up next to him and said: "Everyone, let's not scare ourselves all the time. They say that the Yunzhou District Inspection Department is powerful and we need to be more careful, but we are already careful enough. We were in Zhaocheng two months ago. Hiding, at that time, the waste in Qingtian Temple had not calculated the date of the Demon Cave. In the past two months, we have pretended to live a normal life as a family, and we have become familiar with the neighbors. There are no flaws at all, and we will not be exposed. "
"Qingtian Temple..." The middle-aged man suddenly became alarmed and said: "That's right! Qingtian Temple has long been a bunch of losers. Even our Holy Moon Sect has not calculated the specific location of the Moon God's arrival. How can they deduce it? ? And they went out of the city to set up defenses with great fanfare, it’s clear that something is going on! They... they are heading for the helm!"
Everyone was in an uproar and stood up one after another: "Seriously? Let's send the news back quickly!"
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said: "Wait - it's too late. They set off early in the morning. And we are hiding here in the deepest secret. We can only take action when the devil's cave comes. This is the order of the incense master, so we must not act rashly."
He made up his mind first and then said:
"Don't worry, all of you. I heard that the team was led by a guard envoy, and none of the women named Mai were there. Can I not know about the one named Feng? In terms of character, he is not a good thing, but in terms of strength, a toothless old man It's just a dog. How many years has it been in Zhaocheng? Who doesn't know who is who? And he has many of our people under his command. I'm afraid he has already reported the news. When the time comes, he will be able to wait for work, and he will have the advantage of the home field, as well as the incense master. Host, when the time comes, his men will fight back, Xiangzhu will talk to him about the past, maybe those people will become our strength. Maybe after this battle, there will be no inspection department in Zhaocheng."
Everyone nodded, seeming to feel a little reassured, but not completely reassured.
Suddenly, there was a rhythmic knocking at the door.
This is the secret code agreed upon in advance.
It's a code for emergency contact.
The people's hearts were raised again, and the middle-aged man suppressed everyone and motioned to the white-haired old man to open the door.
As soon as the white-haired old man opened the door, he was surprised and said: "Why is it you..." After saying that, he opened the door and a man in single clothes came in. The old man closed the door behind him.
The middle-aged man also stood up, recognized the person, and said angrily: "Why are you here? Aren't you allowed to come directly? Why aren't you summoned in the prescribed way?"
The man hurriedly said: "It's too late, it's urgent. I just came out of the Yamen, took off my shirt and came here. Listen to me, the person named Mai is going to search for the Holy Moon Sect in Nancheng..."
He hurriedly repeated what Mai Shiyu had told everyone that morning, about the various ways to slander the Moon God for testing the Holy Moon Sect. Everyone was furious and cursed Mai Shiyu, a bitch, who would not die well.
The man said: "In short, everyone puts the overall situation first. In order to welcome the great event of the Moon God, we must endure the temporary humiliation."
Everyone nodded with ugly expressions. The man said: "Then I'll put on my clothes and go back. I have to move in the afternoon..."
At this time, I heard someone outside say: "Wait a minute, don't wear it yet. The clothes of the Inspector are not for people like you -"
Everyone jumped up and before they could say anything, they saw lightning flashing outside the window, and then the window pane shattered. A ball of lightning rolled into the room and exploded like a ball of lightning falling from the sky!
In the sky, a young man with blue and white wings put his hands behind his back and watched lightning-colored fireworks explode from the tiled house underground.
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
