Chapter 183 Bailipu Massacre

Shen Qing glanced at the Weiwu Division group gathered in the courtyard, and his eyes fell on a young man.

He was gathered together by many officials, like the moon surrounded by stars.

This person was none other than Dong Jing, a detective from the First Group of the Weiwu Division and the son of a concubine from the Dong family, a prominent family in Yongzhou.

I heard that this person, at the young age of only sixteen, has already broken through to the Qi Hai realm. It won’t be long before he can condense the Jade Meridian.

Such cultivation talent is considered to be among the best even among his peers in the Dong family.

However, because of his background, even with such accomplishments, he could not inherit the family business or serve as an official elsewhere, so he turned to work as a clerk in the Weiwu Division to seek a way out.

As if he felt Shen Qing's gaze, he glanced at him calmly, as if he was looking at a stranger, and then withdrew his gaze.

Shen Qing lowered his head and walked over the threshold with his men into the courtyard of the Weiwu Division's government office, being very low-key.

Due to the relatively inferior background and strength of Group 6, it was not welcomed by other patrol teams in the Weiwu Division. Shen Qing and his men quietly stood at the end of the team according to the order of the team.

During this period, Shen Qing observed that the other five inspection teams in the Weiwusi Yamen formed their own small circles and silently excluded the sixth group.

Shen Qing had joined the Weiwu Division for a month and had almost no communication with them. In their eyes, he was almost transparent and had no sense of existence at all.

Fortunately, Shen Qing had a clear goal and a positive mindset, so his mentality was not affected.

Otherwise, such a working environment would be quite depressing.

After staying in the yard for a while, several other patrol teams arrived one after another.

The originally quiet yard became noisy.

The courtyard of the Weiwu Division was not big, and these people had no intention of avoiding him.

Shen Qing could still hear clearly what everyone was talking about.

"There was an accident at Bailipu outside the city, and many people died."

"Did that demon do that?"

"You guessed it?"

"Well, among all the demons out there, this one is the most reckless one these days."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Shen Qing frowned and asked Liu Sangui: "Bailipu sounds very familiar to me. Is it our defense zone?"

Liu Sangui said with a bitter face: "It's our six groups' defense area outside the city. We usually patrol once a month. I didn't expect something like this to happen."

As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of Jiang Dacong, Guan Yunjian and Shu Jiushu also turned unhappy.

I don't know why demons are getting smarter these days.

They suffered a lot at the hands of demons, and basically returned empty-handed with little achievement.

They felt a little unhappy when they thought about a troublesome monster appearing in their defense area.

After a while, the chief minister Zheng Yuanqiu came out with a big belly.

He glanced at the people in front of him and asked, "Is everyone here?"

Dong Jing, a member of the first group of chariots, clasped his hands together and bowed his head and said, "Your Excellency the Chief Charioteer, all seven of us have arrived."

"Group Two..."

……

"Group six, five people are here."

Zheng Yuanqiu's expression eased a little. He didn't intend to give a long speech, so he gave a brief order: "Just now, the subordinates reported that a murder occurred in Bailipu, and it was done by a demon. I remember that this place is under the jurisdiction of Group 6. You have three days to arrest this demon. If you fail to do so, your salary for this month will be reduced by half."

After hearing this order, Liu Sangui and others seemed to have already gotten used to it, and showed an expression of "as expected".

"The other teams will assist Team Six in handling the case." Zheng Yuanqiu's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he glanced at everyone, exuding an invisible aura. His voice suddenly rose, "Did you hear that clearly?"

"Understood!" The people in the yard responded in a messy voice.

Zheng Yuanqiu shouted, "I understand. What are you all standing here for? Go check it out for me!"

Shen Qing was a little unhappy, but he didn't take the lead to contradict Zheng Yuanqiu. He followed the crowd and said, "Yes." There was a panic in the Weiwusi courtyard, and everyone rushed towards the gate and dispersed.

Many officers ran out of the gate of the Weiwusi County Government Office, looked back into the courtyard, and felt relieved when they saw that the chief officer Zheng Yuanqiu had left. They left, chatting and laughing, arm in arm.

He didn't take Zheng Yuanqiu's orders seriously at all.

In their opinion, since this demon appeared in Group Six, it would naturally be the bad guys in Group Six who would have to deal with it, and they were the ones who were anxious.

Anyway, it’s not their defense area, and it’s not their salary that is deducted, so it has nothing to do with them.

Shen Qing walked behind them, looking at the backs of these people leaving, without any surprise in his heart.

Since ancient times, everyone has been cleaning the snow in front of their own door, not worrying about the frost on other people's roofs.

He had no relatives or friends with these noble children, so naturally they would not be kind enough to help him.

Shen Qing was silent for a while, then said to Liu Sangui, "Is this the way we always do things? Do you always deduct our salaries?"

Liu Sangui smiled bitterly and said, "Officer Shen may not know that our Chief Constable has a well-known problem."

"What's wrong?"

"He is greedy for money and lustful." Liu Sangui lowered his voice and said, "Now that the chief officer is old, he is less interested in women, so he is only greedy for money. If we don't do our job well, the confiscated salary will go into his pocket. This is an unwritten rule in the Weiwu Division, and everyone has long been accustomed to it."

"Sir, if you stay longer, you will naturally figure it out."

After listening to this, Shen Qing had a more specific impression of Chief Constable Zheng Yuanqiu.

"Let's go to Bailipu and see what's going on there."

After saying that, he went into the stable and led out his precious horse, while Liu Sangui and his men went into the stable to handle some formalities.

Liu Sangui and others did not have their own horses, and usually used the official horses of the Weiwu Division when they went out to do business.

These horses are old and cannot run fast, but they can do the job.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Shen Qing rode his horse to find the direction and led his men to gallop towards Bailipu.

Dong Jing, the last one in the group of errand boys to walk out of the Weiwu Division, said to his men, "Notify all the brothers and get ready. We will go to Bailipu right away."

The officer behind him asked in confusion, "Officer Dong, are we going to help that new bastard?"

"Hmm? Just prepare as I told you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Dong Jing said coldly, "Do you want me to listen to you?"

The officer who was scolded by him immediately shrank his neck, dared not say anything more, and hurried to prepare with other officers.

Others may not know, but Dong Jing knows it very well.

He had already heard that the commander of the troops coming this time was different from those good-for-nothings in the county government. He was a man who was decisive and clear about rewards and punishments, and he especially hated demons.

If he knew that the chief officer was unsuccessful in exterminating the monster, he would definitely be furious, and the chief officer would be in big trouble.

This is his chance.

If he could gain something, he would be able to save the situation in front of the chief inspector and gain face in front of his two superiors, which would be of great benefit to his career development.

He knew that as the son of a concubine, although he might look glorious on the surface, due to his mother's low status, he would not get a penny of the Dong family's property.

If you don't want to have a miserable end when you are old, you should find more ways out and strive to improve yourself.

As a martial artist at the Xiantian realm, if the military commander is willing to help him, he will undoubtedly be a great help.

Soon following Shen Qing, Dong Jing and his officers also rushed towards Bailipu.

Outside Yongzhou City.

A team of five people galloped past.

The leader was carrying a heavy black bow and a quiver of arrows on his horse, and he stood in front with his head held high.

"Shen Chasi, Bailipu is just ahead, we are almost there!"

Shen Qing seemed to smell a strong smell of blood from a distance, and his expression became serious. He whipped the whip fiercely: "Go!"
