Coming out of Jiang Cheng's mansion, Shen Hao thought about it while taking the warrant he just received and heading to the commanding officer's office.
It is a good thing to be promoted, and it is also a promotion to the fifth-level actual position. Combined with his age in his early thirties, this means that once Shen Hao reaches the fifth-level actual position, his career will continue to expand in the future, and it will not end here.
To be honest, this was smoother than Shen Hao expected. They originally thought that their promotion would only be possible after the war in the south was over and through the so-called big move of commanding the Yamen, but now it was a step faster.
However, there is still pressure. After all, according to Jiang Cheng, he will be commanding all the black flag battalions in the entire Jingxi territory, which is much larger than the one he holds now.
If it were in another yamen, it might be troublesome to take care of such a big thing at once. Without some experience and time to digest, it would be really difficult to handle it. But this is actually not too difficult after Xuan Qingwei has mastered the most basic skills.
What is the most fundamental aspect of being an official in Xuanqing Guard? As far as Shen Hao understands it, there are two words: reward and punishment.
As long as the two words of reward and punishment are played around, it is basically guaranteed that the number will not be lost. Coupled with some key measures, the new manpower can be smoothed out in a short time. And if the manpower is smoothed, the corresponding things will be able to unfold smoothly.
What if someone down there has a thorn in his side? Just kill him. This is what Shen Hao likes most about the Xuanqing Guard system and what he is always vigilant about.
The Xuanqing Guards were rude and cruel not only externally, but also internally. If someone really dared to pick a fight with him overtly or covertly, Shen Hao would never know what it means to be soft-hearted when killing people.
In addition, Shen Hao was mainly thinking about the future development. After commanding the entire Black Flag Battalion in Jingxi, he would have to show results and changes. If there were no outstanding things, he would not be able to make a difference.
After thinking all the way, he arrived at the commander's yamen, handed over his order, and then waited in the waiter. As soon as Shen Hao sat down, as always, there was no more chatter in the tea room. An evil spirit that seems to be piercing your skin lingers in the entire tea room, making people have to sigh: Master Shen just came back from the front line, right? The evil spirit seems to be stronger than before!
After waiting for about two sticks of incense, the formalities were completed. After receiving the receipt, Shen Hao left the tea room and went to the library of the commander's yamen.
The largest and most complete library in the entire Xuanqing Guard is here, especially regarding spells. It is also the most complete.
After asking the deacon of the library, Shen Hao went up to a corner on the third floor, which was a place dedicated to storing miscellaneous books related to soul spells.
Coincidentally, Shen Hao saw a familiar figure here: Li Qing, the adjutant of the Major Case Department.
Shen Hao had no interest in saying hello to a person who obviously didn't want to see him. He treated the other person as nothing and started to look for information on the bookshelves on both sides that might record the method used in the case.
According to Shen Hao's guess, the killing technique hidden in the book must not only be a soul-related method, but must be some kind of insidious killing move mixed with other techniques. Because he himself can even use soul power, a method that ordinary monks have never heard of, and the strength of his soul is far higher than that of monks in the same realm, but he still cannot integrate the power of soul into an ordinary book, let alone Not to mention doing it so covertly.
Therefore, the contents that Shen Hao consulted were basically miscellaneous books related to soul spells but not pure soul methods.
Focus on reading essays. Because Shen Hao didn't think that this weird method would be written down in the classics, and it was more likely to be recorded in essays as "gossip".
While Shen Hao was busy checking things, Li Qing, who was treated as nothing by him, was having a lot of inner drama. Mainly because I found that Shen Hao took almost all essays, and I sneered in my heart. Could it be that Shen Hao didn't even know the difference between essays and classics? Instead of looking through the classics that can be used as evidence, look for the content in unreliable essays?
Besides, it is clearly determined to be a soul-based magic method, so why look at those mixed contents? Isn't this a waste of time?
"Master Shen, actually you don't need to come here. Master Xue has already sent me to find out the basis of the magic technique that appeared in the case. You can rest and have a rest." Li Qing felt that Shen Hao was really wasting his time doing useless things. After holding back the meaningful matter for a long time, I still couldn't help but speak. There was clearly some contempt in the words.
Shen Hao raised his head and glanced at Li Qing, the corner of his mouth raised slightly. He was very curious. He even found out the clues of the case. The entire Major Case Division of the Criminal Department was now picking up food after him. Where was this Li Qing? A sense of superiority?
"Shut up or I'll throw you out."
"you......"
Shen Hao's current aura pressure is not something Li Qing can bear. If he didn't want to "meddle" in the actions of the Major Case Department, Shen Hao would have just thrown a soul cover over Li Qing's words and knocked this self-righteous woman away. The third floor window was thrown out. Nowadays, using one's breath to suppress the opponent's behavior is considered to be a great honor.
Li Qing's experience was different. In the past, Shen Hao gave her the impression of a smiling tiger with dagger-like eyes, but now she felt like she was surrounded by a venomous snake with its fangs exposed and spitting out letters. It might kill her at any time. life. Especially the oppressive breath made it difficult for her to speak, and her throat felt like a big stone was blocked.
The surname Shen is too much! How dare you be so rude!
He thought about getting stabbed, but gave up the idea in an instant. Reason told Li Qing that he could not provoke the other party anymore, otherwise he would really die.
Finally, I cried in my heart that this person named Shen must die a good death! Turning his head, he continued to look up the classics without looking at Shen Hao beside him.
From morning to afternoon, Shen Hao had lunch in the canteen of the commander's yamen and continued his work. He didn't come out of the library until he got off work.
"Huh..." He took a long breath. It has been a long time since he read the documents for such a long time. To be honest, he was still a little tired.
But the harvest was pretty good.
Just as Shen Hao thought, the method of using soul magic to kill people in the form of words embedded in the book did not directly appear in any essays or classics. You can tell by looking at the dull expression on Li Qing's face who has been reading the classics.
Although there is no direct record of this technique in the essays, Shen Hao found a record that was barely reliable. It is said that there once was a genius talisman master in the weak water basin. He was not only proficient in all kinds of talisman inscriptions, but could also forcibly integrate many simple spells into ordinary words.
However, this talisman master died young, and his skills were not passed down from generation to generation. Only some fragmentary deeds were circulated in a small area in the cultivation world.
