Chapter 252: Notorious, Taking Over the Weiwu Division
The next morning, Shen Qing reported for duty at the Bingmasi office as usual.

In the case of dealing with Zheng Yuanqiu, the horse he was riding was completely destroyed, and now he had no choice but to walk over on his own two legs.

Fortunately, after learning the Huangfu family's martial arts, "Da Xu Shu", his lightness skills have improved greatly.

He kicked his legs and turned into a black shadow, swimming among the crowd on the street like a nimble fish at an incredible speed.

It took only a moment to reach the Weiwusi office, which was several points faster than riding a horse.

When he appeared before many officers and messengers, he caused a commotion.

Ji Youwu, Wang Shouyuan, Liu Yuan and other officers from Group 4 looked at Shen Qing in disbelief, thinking that he had come back from the dead.

Facing the astonished gazes of these people, Shen Qing checked in as usual, then returned to the small house in the yard to take a rest.

Shen Qing looked at Ji Youwu, Wang Shouyuan, and Liu Yuan who still looked dazed, and couldn't help but frowning.

"What are you all staring at me for?"

Ji Youwu was a little braver. He swallowed and said, "Sir, you are not dead?"

"Does what you said mean that I must die?" Shen Qing rolled his eyes at him and said.

Ji Youwu explained in a panic, "No, no, it's just that the county governor was defeated by the snake monster. I was a little surprised to see that the governor was still alive. The military department said that you and Huangfu were both hit by the snake monster's tail and no trace of your body was left. The Huangfu family has begun to secretly prepare for the funeral."

"Even the county magistrate is not a match for the snake demon?" Shen Qing's face suddenly became solemn.

The county magistrate has reached the Xiantian realm, and his strength is truly in the top tier in Yongzhou.

Shen Qing changed the subject and asked, "What's going on? Tell me."

Ji Youwu pondered for a while, then slowly narrated: "On the day you had the accident, the snake demon woke up and went crazy, wandering to the nearby town."

"The snake demon was huge and had a monstrous aura. When it opened its mouth and spit out poisonous mist, most of the 20,000 to 30,000 people in the town were swallowed by the snake demon."

"Upon hearing the news, the county governor immediately led the elite troops in the city and went out to fight. He used his innate martial arts skills to fight against the snake demon, hoping to kill it. However, the snake demon not only had thick skin and flesh, but also possessed magical powers, making it difficult to defend against. There were even rumors that the demon was the leader of all the demons in the surrounding mountains and had the tendency to transform into a dragon."

At this point, Ji Youwu's voice could not help but carry a bit of admiration and regret: "During the battle, the county magistrate fought with the snake demon for a long time. After several fierce battles, although the county magistrate used his extraordinary martial arts to seriously injure the snake demon and forced it to retreat, he also paid a very heavy price. He was seriously injured and almost died."

"The county magistrate is still in seclusion in the government office to recuperate from his injuries. This has become the most discussed topic in the county office in recent days."

Ji Youwu glanced at Shen Qing, and then explained: "The demon was so powerful that even the county governor was no match for it. Naturally, we also thought that you and Lord Huangfu had also met with misfortune..."

Shen Qing fell into a brief silence after hearing this.

He didn't expect that there was such a thing behind it.

At the same time, in another room, Dong Jing, a member of the police team, showed surprise when he learned that Shen Qing had returned safely.

"I didn't expect that Shen Qing was so lucky that he could escape from such a monster. It was really beyond our expectations."

"From this perspective, he must be quite capable. Should I lower my profile and make friends with him?"

At this time, Dong Jing felt conflicted.

In the end, considering the difference in status, he chose to wait and see.

That’s all.

Right now, he has more important things to do than making friends with Shen Qing.

That is the position of the chief envoy of the Weiwu Division.

According to his analysis, there are really few suitable people in the county government to take over this mess, so there is a great possibility that they will be promoted from among the officials.

As a member of the first group of the Weiwu Division, he had the strongest strength, the best family background, and the greatest chance of winning. He had to seize the time to make some moves.

The position of Chief of the Weiwu Division was nothing in the eyes of many eldest sons of noble families, but it was a good place for them.

He knew clearly that although the Huangfu family was not well-known among the Thirteen Hongs, they still had considerable power in the court.

The chief envoy of the Weiwu Division had very close contacts with Huangfu Rou.

If you can get this position, maybe you can use it as a stepping stone to climb up the social ladder.

Thinking of this, Dong Jing couldn't help but become a little excited.

And he was not the only officer in the Weiwu Division who thought like him.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

After fermenting for several days, the news of the destruction of the Black Claw Gang caused waves among the many gangs in Yongzhou.

Coupled with Shen Qing's notorious reputation and his record of slaying demons and eliminating evil, Shen Qing gradually earned the nickname "Shen the King of Hell" among these gangs.

Most of the gangs secretly withdrew their forces in Shen Qing's territory and did not dare to do anything outrageous.

Suddenly, the area that Shen Qing was patrolling became extremely peaceful.

But it’s different from the bad reputation that gangs have.

Whether Shen Qing was exorcising demons or killing gang thugs, all his actions were applauded by the people, which earned him a lot of prestige among many people in Yongzhou.

On this day, after finishing a day's patrol, Shen Qing returned to the Weiwusi office with his officers.

He unexpectedly discovered that Huangfu Rou was also in the Weiwusi office.

When the latter saw him, there was no change in his expression and his face looked normal.

The two nodded.

After most of the officials and runners had returned, Huangfu Rou gathered them in the back hall.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Huangfu Rou said, "I asked everyone to be here today because I have something important to announce."

Her voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.

Huangfu Rou looked around at everyone and said, "Now that Zheng Yuanqiu has rebelled, the Military Department is leaderless. If this continues, it will definitely lead to disaster. So I came here today to temporarily appoint a deputy general manager of the Military Department to take over its duties."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became serious and extremely excited.

This is especially true for an official like Dong Jing who has been eyeing the position of chief of Bingmasi.

Huangfu Rou's gaze swept across the faces of many officials, and finally stopped at Shen Qing's face.

"I think Shen Qing, the captain of the fourth group, is very capable and can serve as the deputy chief captain. The commander also thinks so, so from now on, Shen will be the deputy chief captain of the military department and will take the place of the chief captain. I have brought the documents and hereby announce it."

Hearing this, all the officers and soldiers of the Weiwu Division were shocked.

Shen Qing?

How can it be?

Why?
Dong Jing's mind exploded like a volcano, and he blurted out, "I don't accept it!"
