Chapter 254 God helps those who help themselves, promotion
Huangfu Rou saw that there was no objection from the many servants in the back hall, so she said, "If you have nothing else to do, go back. Deputy General Shen will stay for a while."

The servants and officers in the backstage no longer dared to act recklessly and retreated one by one honestly.

In a blink of an eye, Shen Qing and Huangfu Rou were the only ones left in the huge back hall.

Shen Qing stepped forward and said solemnly: "Thank you for your kindness, Master Huangfu. I will definitely do my best to repay your kindness."

"I really didn't misjudge you. You handled today's matter very well."

Huangfu Rou thought that it would take some effort to make these rich kids shut up, but she didn't expect Shen Qing to be so direct and beat them into submission.

She glanced up and down at Shen Qing, and her eyes showed more and more satisfaction with Shen Qing.

"If I hadn't had the opportunity given by you, I would never have gotten this far."

Shen Qing did not take advantage of their shared experience in the cave. He still kept his distance and did not do anything that crossed the line.

Huangfu Rou sat back in her seat and said with a smile, "Let's stop being polite and talk about business."

"Sir, please speak."

"You know the current situation of the Weiwu Division. Tell me what you are going to do next?"

Huangfu Rou filled a cup of tea from the table and spoke casually.

Nowadays, all the major institutions in the government have been seriously corrupted by the wealthy and powerful families, and are full of good-for-nothings.

At the same time, demons are everywhere outside Yongzhou City, and the county magistrate is injured and stays indoors. If this continues, something bad might happen.

Therefore, filling the yamen with some capable people became an urgent matter.

It just so happened that the position of chief inspector of the Weiwu Division had become vacant, and Shen Qing, who had no background at all, became the best candidate.

The military commander, Lord Jia Zhiping, also thought so.

Even if Shen Qing didn't take action today, she would use force to force others to surrender, which would only be a matter of effort.

As for what will happen in the future, whether he can convince the people and build up the Weiwu Division, it all depends on Shen Qing's ability.

As the saying goes, God helps those who help themselves.

Only those who work hard and never give up can receive God's favor and help.

Those who rely solely on others cannot go far.

This is also the reason why Shen Qing is only a deputy and not a full-time employee.

If Shen Qing cannot reorganize the Weiwu Division and make this office assume the responsibilities it should assume, then they will find a way to find one of their own to be the chief officer of the Weiwu Division.

In general, Huangfu Rou only gave Shen Qing an opportunity, but the initiative was still in her own hands.

Shen Qing pondered for a while and then said, "Recruit more people!"

"continue."

"I have checked some records these days. Although there have been some records of demons around Yongzhou in the past few years, most of them are vague and there are not many murders. But since last year, for some reason, the number of demons has increased day by day, and even demons like snake demons have appeared. According to this trend, there will be more demons in Yongzhou in the future, so the Weiwu Division must expand its manpower."

"Otherwise, we won't be able to guard against these monsters." Shen Qing said seriously.

"You have a point." Huangfu Rou agreed and said, "It's time for the Weiwu Division to expand its recruitment."

Shen Qing took over the conversation and said, "I dare to think that the current scale of the Weiwu Division needs to be expanded to nine groups, gathering two hundred martial artists, in order to ensure the safety of Yongzhou. But this matter needs to be done step by step, steadily and steadily, and we must not rush for quick success. Otherwise, some villains will take advantage of the situation and may cause a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Huangfu Rou nodded: "Just go ahead and do this. I will arrange for the people in the official office to cooperate with you."

Shen Qing continued, "In addition to the manpower issue, there is another matter that has caught my attention. However, this matter involves a lot of details, so I dare not make a rash decision."

"What's the matter?" Huangfu Rou frowned and asked curiously.

Shen Qing said, "From the Changqiao Town case, I discovered that someone was secretly colluding with the demons. I now suspect that this is not an isolated case."

As he spoke, Shen Qing glanced at Huangfu Rou silently, and found that she was alert as he expected. Huangfu Rou raised her eyelids and asked directly: "Do you have any clues?"

Shen Qing nodded silently and said in a low voice: "When I killed the cat demon last time, I found that it was vaguely related to the Zhou family. But I have no evidence for this matter, I just suspect it. After all, the Zhou family is a noble family..."

Shen Qing didn't say all the rest of his words, but Huangfu Rou obviously understood what he meant.

After the incident with the snake demon, he realized how powerful demons were.

Although the "Niangniang" mentioned by the cat demon has not caused him any trouble for the time being, it is still a hidden danger that has always been a thorn in his throat.

Judging from all the events, Huangfu Rou is a reliable person. Perhaps we can use his power to investigate and have a chance to eliminate this hidden danger.

Huangfu Rou picked up the teacup and said solemnly, "You didn't tell anyone else about this, did you?"

"No."

"Don't tell anyone about this for now. The Zhou family is much more powerful than what is seen on the surface." Huangfu Rou reminded: "Let me investigate this matter."

Shen Qing nodded heavily.

The two discussed some details and left only when night fell.

Walking out of the gate of the Weiwu Division, Shen Qing took a deep breath and suddenly felt refreshed.

It feels different to have someone to back you up.

……

In the Shen family courtyard.

In the main room, the lights flickered slightly.

In front of everyone, Shen Qing announced the news of his promotion, which caused exclamations.

"Brother, are you an official now?"

"Once the official document is finalized, I will be the one."

hiss……

Everyone in the lobby couldn't help but gasp.

Great Zhou native place, emperor, noble, official, doctor, warrior, farmer, worker...

The official status is second only to those of the nobles.

Uncle Shen Er looked at the increasingly promising Shen Qing and was at a loss for words for a moment.

I just feel that the past one or two years have been like a dream.

He never imagined that their Shen family would produce such a person, who would rise to a position of superiority in the blink of an eye.

Shen Qing's face was filled with smiles. He said to Shen Xiaoshan, Tian Xiaohu and others, "Next, you should hurry up and practice. After a while, I will recruit a group of martial artists to work in the Weiwu Division. Although this position is not a regular one, it is also a rare opportunity for you."

Tian Xiaohu and others were cheered up when they heard this.

The runners were not officials, they were just martial artists hired in the name of the government. However, they were also runners of the Weiwu Division and carried the name of the Weiwu Division.

Compared with ordinary martial arts schools, gangs are much better.

Many people would love to have this opportunity.

How could they not be excited when they heard Shen Qing speak at this time?

Tian Xiaohu and Shen Xiaoshan both nodded and agreed solemnly.
