Qin Shaoyou accepted the order and took over the task of secretly investigating the cause of the prince's death.
Later, he defended himself and complained:
"Please also make it clear to your Majesty, Commander, that my subordinates are just observant and can detect clues that others have ignored, so that they can discover the case quickly.
The subordinate is not a scapegoat, so how can there be cases happening wherever he goes? "
Slander is all slander. I am not a primary school student who is the god of death. I don’t have the ability to kill people wherever I go!
Seeing that he was anxious, Lu Bing couldn't help laughing.
"I didn't say you were a bad guy. Zuo Qianhu also praised you as a lucky general. Why are you anxious?
For those of us in the Demon Suppression Department, it is a good thing to be good at detecting cases. What we are afraid of is that a case has obviously occurred but we cannot find it, allowing the evil monster to go unpunished. "
After joking for a while, Lu Bing told Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer some good news.
"The meritorious service you have accomplished on the Qingtang Guard side has been verified by the imperial court. A few days ago, the decree came down and both of you were promoted to the rank of Thousand Households.
The relevant decrees and confessions are kept in the yamen of the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division. I originally planned to hand them over to you when you return to Beijing to report on your duties. Since I saw you today, I will inform you first.
When you arrive at the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Division headquarters, someone will bring these things to you. Considering the skills you two are good at, we will temporarily stay in Beijing as a punishment house and take charge of the punishment at the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division.
When your achievements in Qingtang are verified later, the court will definitely give you further rewards.
When the time comes, I will make adjustments to your two positions. Speaking of which, you went to Qingtang this time and killed their king, witch, and marshal. It really gave our Demon Suppression Department a lot of face!
And with this merit, you will most likely be knighted. One sect and two nobles, this majesty is really enviable! "
Although Qin Qiaoer has always been steady, she couldn't help but feel a little excited when she heard these words.
While she was happy, she hurriedly raised her hands and said, "It's all thanks to the cultivation of the commander."
Compared with Qin Qiaoer, Qin Shaoyou is much calmer.
Nowadays, he doesn't have much interest in getting promoted to a higher position.
Especially after seeing the suffering and chaos among the people, many of his ideas changed, and the things he pursued were no longer the same as before.
Besides, what about Qianhu? What about the title?
As long as Qin Shaoyou is willing, he can just take a knife and wipe it on his neck, and he can immediately go to Li Erlang's water mansion and become the prime minister, becoming a person... well, under a dragon and above ten thousand fish.
Not to mention, he has even been granted several titles by gods, and he really looks down upon the officials and nobles in the human world.
A thousand households or a title are not as important to him as the power of the people's will in the Umbrella of All Peoples.
Compared with being promoted to a noble rank, the assignment of being in charge of punishment at the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division is what really makes Qin Shaoyou happy.
Because this assignment perfectly meets his needs as a cook.
You know, those who can be escorted to the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division are all very powerful demons and evil creatures.
Killing them will definitely create a lot of new dishes.
I have always said that the most suitable position for me is to be an executioner, but before that, neither Zuo Qianhu nor my third brother-in-law would put me in this position.
Lu Binghui still has a good eye. No wonder he can become the commander of the Demon Suppression Division. There is a reason.
I just don’t know, when I kill the King of Shu, can I be the executioner and cut him with a knife?
Qin Shaoyou, who was very satisfied with the assignment, immediately thanked Lu Bing along with his sixth sister.
After finishing, he asked seriously: "I would like to take the liberty of asking the Commander, are the brothers Paoze who have been with us from birth to death all rewarded?"
Lu Bing first smiled and waved his hands: "You don't need to thank me. It's all because of your own ability that you can be promoted to an official position. You fought with your life to do it. What does it have to do with me? On the contrary, I have to thank you for letting me suppress you." Yao Si is very proud."
Then, he answered Qin Shaoyou's inquiry with a smile.
"Have our Demon Suppression Department ever mistreated someone with meritorious deeds? Don't worry, everyone under your command will receive a reward, and the worst ones will be promoted to Deputy Hundred Households."
When he heard that Brother Paoze, who had accompanied him through life and death, had received rewards, Qin Shaoyou's face was filled with joy, and he was even happier than he himself had been promoted.
Lu Bing saw this scene and nodded secretly: No wonder this kid can make his subordinates die for him. It's not without reason.
Lu Bing suddenly remembered something, his expression became serious, and he warned:
"However, your outstanding performance has also aroused the jealousy of some people, especially in the editorial office. There are many people who want to kill your prestige.
After you enter Beijing, be careful of them causing trouble. With your strength, you are not afraid of a head-on conflict, but you need to guard against their underhanded tactics. "
Qin Qiaoer nodded in agreement.
Qin Shaoyou asked, "If people from the editing factory really come to trouble us, can we take action?"
Lu Bing glanced at him and smiled with satisfaction.
"Of course you can do it, but I also have a request."
"What's the request?" Qin Shaoyou asked.
Lu Bing put away his smile, showed a murderous look on his face, and replied in a deep voice: "Once you take action, you will win and not lose. If you can kill people, don't leave them alive. You just kill people, I will take care of the rest."
Qin Shaoyou grinned.
It’s good to have a boss who can handle things.
He handed over his hand and accepted the order: "Commander, please rest assured, as long as the people from the editing factory dare to make trouble, I will make sure they come back without any return."
"very good!"
Lu Bing nodded, very satisfied with Qin Shaoyou's words.
After explaining these things, Lu Bing took another sip of Duhua tea. Seeing that the tea was gone, Qin Shaoyou hurriedly called Qiurong in and asked her to add water.
After Qiu Rong finished adding water and left, Lu Bing took the initiative to chat about Qin Erlang's situation while drinking Duhua tea.
"Qin Erlang is no longer called Qin Erlang. After he was escorted back to the capital, he was confirmed by the clan government and was indeed a living prince.
The clan order has already entered him into the genealogy, changed his surname back to Si, and named him Xiu.
Now he lives in the clan mansion, accompanied by Qin Gong. Our Demon Suppression Department, Qintian Supervisor and Editing Factory have all sent experts to provide personal protection.
Recently, ministers have been writing letters to the court, begging to establish Sixiu as the crown prince to consolidate the foundation of the country.
However, these memorials were all ignored by His Majesty, leaving people confused about his attitude and what he was thinking..."
When Qin Shaoyou heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly, and guessed in his heart: Could it be that Emperor Jianwu is still beating Qin Erlang... No, is it an idea to beat Si to show off her lifespan?
(Lao Wu is here, wishing all the bosses good luck in the new year and all the best. In the new year, I will be more handsome than Daniel Wu and more beautiful than Liu Yifei, and everything will go well! By the way, what do you have for New Year’s Eve dinner?)
