Chapter 308 Testing Shen Qing's attitude, spread to Kyoto

These two people are County Magistrate Dou Wenxi and County Supervisor Yan Xushou. They are the only two remaining martial artists among the five innate martial artists in Yongzhou County Government. They hold high positions and are second only to the county governor.

Now, both of them are over a hundred years old, and their cultivation has been stuck at the Innate Realm for seventy or eighty years. Their spirit has been worn out, and they no longer have much ambition in martial arts.

After the two were transferred to Yongzhou, they have been in a Buddhist state, living day by day and having little sense of existence.

This time, such a big thing happened in Yongzhou City, but both of them just stood by and watched.

Shen Qing had a very average impression of the two.

At this time, Dou Wenxi and Yan Xushou came. He was a little puzzled and didn't understand the purpose of their visit.

After County Magistrate Dou Wenxi finished speaking, County Supervisor Yan Xushou followed closely and echoed Dou Wenxi, saying, "Lord Dou is right. General Shen has used thunderous means, and is impartial and selfless to eliminate harm for the people. It is appropriate to call him the great judge of Yongzhou. It is not an exaggeration at all."

County Supervisor Yan Xushou's words were full of flattery.

Judging from many of the two people's words and actions, no malicious intent was detected.

Shen Qing was unsure of what the two were thinking. He quietly observed and said, "You two are too kind. I am just doing my duty."

"Hey, Mr. Shen is still too modest." The fat on the face of County Supervisor Yan Xushou trembled twice and he pretended to be angry.

Shen Qing did not beat around the bush with the two men and asked directly, "I wonder what instructions you two adults have for coming here this time?"

"It's not a suggestion." County Magistrate Dou Wenxi stroked his goatee, lowered his posture and said, "Such a big thing happened in Yongzhou. We have already submitted a letter to the court. If nothing unexpected happens, the court will send an envoy to stabilize the situation in a few days. Before the envoy arrives, we need to work together during this period, so I came here to let you know."

County Supervisor Yan Xushou also smiled and said, "The county government is in a mess right now. I wonder what Chief Shen is going to do?"

After a few conversations, Shen Qing gradually understood what the two were thinking.

Yongzhou is in a precarious situation right now and it is a time of trouble. They are worried and came here to inquire about his attitude and protect themselves.

In fact, just as he thought, Dou Wenxi and Yan Xushou were really shocked by Shen Qing's murderous tactics.

Even with that kind of cultivation level, they might not be his match.

They were worried that Shen Qing would get carried away and, for the sake of so-called justice, destroy their stable living conditions and endanger their lives.

So this time I came here specifically to negotiate with Shen Qing and find out Shen Qing's true thoughts.

If we just stop there and then live our own lives and everything goes on as usual, that would be best and everyone would be happy.

If someone wants to use their reputation to cause trouble, clean up the government offices, and get their hands on them, then they can't just sit there and wait for death.

Shen Qing stared at the two of them and saw that their smiles were as warm as the spring breeze and sunshine, and they were very nice to him.

This made him secretly alert and cautious.

He secretly thought that although they might not be his opponents, as long as they were willing to sacrifice their lives, they might make him pay the price.

What's more, the two of them were officials dispatched by the court, and he really had no good reason to touch them for the time being.

As long as they don't cause trouble for you, it's better to have less trouble than more and you shouldn't make enemies indiscriminately.

Thinking of this, Shen Qing understood in his heart, and said calmly: "Since the two adults have already written to the court, then the matter will naturally be left to the court to decide. During this period of time, we should work together with the two adults to overcome the difficulties and maintain order in the city."

Hearing Shen Qing's words, County Magistrate Dou Wenxi and County Supervisor Yan Xushou smiled at each other at the same time, and the doubts in their hearts disappeared.

They were very satisfied with the result.

It can be seen that this chief officer of the Weiwu Division is not so arrogant and unreasonable. "Hahaha, as expected, Chief Officer Shen is still righteous." County Magistrate Dou Wenxi said happily: "After spending some time together, Lord Shen will definitely know our character and will not make things difficult for him."

County Supervisor Yan Xushou looked around and said, "Now that the chaos in the city has been settled, we still have a lot of things to do. After we finish these few days, we will have a drink with Mr. Shen. We will take our leave first."

"Please take care, my two lords."

Looking at the bloated backs of County Magistrate Dou Wenxi and County Supervisor Yan Xushou, they did not have the slightest spirit of a martial artist.

"In this world, force really speaks louder than words. If you have strong force, you can speak louder. Two important county officials actually seem to want to follow my lead. It's really... interesting."

In his heart, Shen Qing felt even more contemptuous of both County Magistrate Dou Wenxi and County Supervisor Yan Xushou.

……

In the prosperous heart of Kyoto, the Xue family, one of the eight great families of the Great Zhou, is located here, and the majestic and magnificent Xue Mansion stands quietly.

At the gate of Xue's mansion, a young man in brocade clothes looked very dignified. He walked briskly to the vermilion gate.

He bowed slightly to the doorman and said, "I am Zhou Su from the Zhou family in Yongzhou. I have come to see Master Xue. Please inform him."

Zhou Su's voice was clear, his attitude was sincere, and his brows revealed extraordinary heroism.

Upon hearing this, the doorman did not dare to be negligent. He immediately bowed and agreed, then hurried into the mansion.

Not long after, the doorman came back and said, "Mr. Zhou, please follow me."

"Thank you."

Zhou Su waved his sleeves lightly and followed the doorman, walked through the winding corridor, and entered a tea room with simple decoration and the fragrance of books.

After Menzi brought him here, he quietly left, leaving Zhou Su alone.

He was not in a hurry and waited patiently in the tea room.

After a while, a sturdy young man walked out quickly and appeared at the door. He saw Zhou Su and said happily: "Brother Zhou, what brings you here today?"

Zhou Su looked up and saw only a pair of handsome young men.

This person was none other than Xue Bai, the eldest son of the Xue family of the Great Zhou.

The eldest son of the Xue family walked step by step to the top seat. His figure was lengthened little by little by the sunlight at the door. He held Zhou Su's hand and said, "Hurry up and sit down!"

Zhou Su hurriedly lowered his head and sat down as host and guest with Xue Bai, the head of the Xue family.

The room is filled with the aroma of tea.

Zhou Su stood up and took the initiative to say: "I came here this time because I have something important to tell you, young master. This may be an opportunity for you."

Xue Bai looked curious: "Oh, what's the matter?"

Zhou Su smiled and said, "Previously, County Magistrate Bai Mu sent a memorial to you. I believe Lord Xue already knows that a large number of demons have appeared in Yongzhou, and the people are suffering. But in fact, County Magistrate Bai has not made it clear that the changes in Yongzhou are far more than that."

Zhou Su looked serious and lowered his voice to say: "A spiritual essence has descended in Yongzhou. Its scale is not less than that of Jinzhou. There are even rumors that a magical weapon from outside the domain has appeared!"

"what?"
