Qin Shaoyou sat in the side hall for half an hour, and finally waited for Zuo Qianhu's summons.
When he walked into the hall of Zuo Qianhu's office, the first thing that caught Qin Shaoyou's eyes was the simple knives, demon-slaying knives and other weapons placed everywhere in the room.
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but marveled, and quietly commented in his heart: "It seems that Mr. Qianhu is also a well-prepared person. Even in his own base camp, he still did not relax his vigilance. There are weapons everywhere in case of emergency..."
Immediately afterwards, he saw Zuo Qianhu.
At this moment, Zuo Qianhu was immersed in processing official documents, and there was a thick stack of case files on the desk in front of him.
The night watchman who led Qin Shaoyou in handed over his words and said, "Master Qianhu, General Qin's flag has been brought here."
"I understand, you can go out." Zuo Qianhu said without raising his head.
"Yes." The night watchman accepted the order, bowed and retreated.
Qin Shaoyou raised his hands and saluted: "I have met thousands of masters in this humble position."
Zuo Qianhu said 'hmm', his tone was flat, and there was no hint of emotion or anger.
He continued to work on the official documents, and after a while he asked: "Tell me, how did Li Ananda die?"
Qin Shaoyou had already prepared his words: "At that time, the demon from the Black Lotus Sect came to rob the prisoner. Li Ananda sensed the situation through his special magical power and tried to escape by blowing up the cage. In order to stop him and prepare for a more sinister situation, I According to the emergency terms, kill him."
"Is that really the case?"
Zuo Qianhu raised his head and looked at Qin Shaoyou.
His eyes were as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to cut Qin Shaoyou open and see clearly what he was thinking in his heart.
Qin Shaoyou had expected it, and was not frightened by Zuo Qianhu's scrutinizing gaze, nor did he dodge. He looked directly at Zuo Qianhu and said loudly: "That's true."
After a while, Zuo Qianhu put away his sharp gaze, lowered his head, and continued to process official documents.
Qin Shaoyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sighed in his heart: He is worthy of being a third-grade martial artist, his gaze alone is so terrifying...
Zuo Qianhu stopped asking about Li Anan and said instead: "Xue Baihu said that you were remotely directing the destruction of the Black Lotus den in Luocheng. Please tell me about the situation."
"Yes." Qin Shaoyou responded, knowing that no matter whether Zuo Qianhu believed what he just said or not, at least this level had been passed through for the time being.
"According to the latest news received by me, this operation destroyed a total of Black Lotus dens..."
Qin Shaoyou was about to report his results, but was interrupted by Zuo Qianhu.
"Let's start from the beginning. How did you discover these Black Lotus dens and what layout you made? Tell me one by one."
Qin Shaoyou naturally couldn't refuse the Shangguan's order, so he told the case from the beginning.
As for how he discovered the Black Lotus sect's den, Qin Shaoyou did not say that he relied on eavesdropping, but that he confirmed it through a series of means such as observation and visits.
They had indeed done these jobs at that time, so it was not a lie.
While Qin Shaoyou was telling the story, Zuo Qianhu said nothing and just listened quietly.
When Qin Shaoyou explained the situation, he still did not comment. Instead, he asked about the status of several previous cases.
Qin Shaoyou answered one by one.
After asking about the case in Mianyuan County, Zuo Qianhu finally put down the official document in his hand, raised his head again, looked at Qin Shaoyou, and nodded slightly.
"Xue Baihu said that you have keen intuition, careful observation, and are good at analyzing clues and inferring the facts of the case. He is indeed right. From the few cases you have participated in, I can see that your abilities are gradually improving. I hope You can keep it up."
Qin Shaoyou immediately said: "Thank you, Mr. Qianhu, for the compliment. It is all cultivated well by Mr. Qianhu."
At this time, it was natural to say something nice to my brother-in-law so that he could have a better impression in Zuo Qianhu's eyes.
Zuo Qianhu smiled and said nothing.
Immediately afterwards, he calmed down again and criticized: "But sometimes you are still a little impulsive. Although it is a good thing for young people to be angry, and there is no problem in hating evil as much as hatred, but you must know your limits and guard against arrogance and impulsiveness, otherwise it will be very difficult. Fallible.”
"Thank you, Mr. Qianhu, for your advice. You must avoid arrogance, impetuosity, and impulsiveness after taking a humble position." Qin Shaoyou responded.
He knew very well that Zuo Qianhu's words were both teaching him and beating him.
Zuo Qianhu has been dealing with demons and ghosts all year round, and he has killed many demons from the Black Lotus Sect. How could he not know what Li Anan, who had been deprived of his cultivation and imprisoned in a special cage, could do? Don't have the ability to escape?
However, since he was only verbally attacking, it meant that he did not want to pursue the matter.
On the one hand, it is because Qin Shaoyou's behavior does comply with the emergency treatment clause.
On the other hand, the fishing operation has been successful. If Li Anan dies, he will die. It doesn't matter.
Even speaking from the bottom of his heart, Zuo Qianhu admired Qin Shaoyou.
In his opinion, Qin Shaoyou's killing of Li Anan was a sign of hatred of evil.
The key is that Qin Shaoyou didn't act impulsively. He firmly grasped the emergency clause, which shows that he has some sense.
What the Demon Suppression Division needs is this kind of young man who is both smart and hates evil.
Especially when Zuo Qianhu heard that this young man's acting style was quite similar to his, he appreciated it even more.
After a few words of encouragement and encouragement, Zuo Qianhu said: "Okay, you can go ahead. I will record the credit for this time for now, and I will make up for it when you make other contributions in the future."
Qin Shaoyou knew that Zuo Qianhu was talking about his contribution to destroying the remaining souls of the evil Buddha of the Black Lotus Sect, so he immediately raised his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord Qianhu."
But Zuo Qianhu shook his head: "Thank me for what? You earned the credit yourself and it has nothing to do with me."
Then he lowered his head and continued to process the paperwork.
After a while, seeing that Qin Shaoyou hadn't left, he raised his head again and asked suspiciously: "Why, do you have anything else?"
Qin Shaoyou nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, I am humble enough to ask you, who is the noble person who values me?"
"The noble person who values you?"
Zuo Qianhu frowned slightly, not quite understanding what Qin Shaoyou meant.
Qin Shaoyou explained: "When I recovered from my injury and returned to the Demon Suppression Division, Master Baihu once said that a noble person valued those of us who survived the battle in Tai'an Town on March 3rd and asked him to take good care of us..."
"Oh, so that's what happened."
Zuo Qianhu nodded to express his understanding, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he squinted and asked, "Why do you want to know who the noble person is?"
"This person in the humble position has always been clear about grudges and repays every drop of kindness. If it weren't for the respect of this noble man, I might not be able to achieve what I am today, so I want to repay him."
When Qin Shaoyao said this, his expression was very serious.
But in his heart, after this sentence, he silently added: "If this person really wants to promote me, then of course I have to repay him. But if he is having bad ideas, then If you have a grudge, take revenge, if you have a grudge, take revenge.”
Zuo Qianhu didn't speak in a hurry, he just stared at Qin Shaoyou, as if he wanted to see through his true thoughts.
After a while, Zuo Qianhu said: "You are able to achieve what you have today because of your own life. What does it have to do with the respect of noble people? But it is also very good that you can repay your kindness. It's just me. I don’t know who the noble person who values you is.”
Qin Shaoyou was stunned when he heard this.
Didn’t you tell Xue Qingshan about the things that noble people value? How could you not know?
Zuo Qianhu didn't sell out and quickly told the whole story.
"I also received a message from others, saying that a noble person felt that it was very difficult for you to almost die while serving the imperial court, and asked the Demon Suppression Division to take more care and cultivation. It happened that Xue Baihu was here to report on the Black Lotus Sect's attack on the city. I conveyed these words to him.”
That’s how it turns out…
He was somewhat disappointed not to be able to ask who the mysterious nobleman was.
He could only retreat to the next best thing and ask again: "I dare to ask my lord, who is the person who sent the message?"
"Why, do you still want to come and ask?"
Zuo Qianhu glanced at Qin Shaoyou meaningfully and replied, "The person who sent the message is the Crown Prince Dongchuan."
