The Great Martial Saint!

Chapter 334 Promotion and Appointment, Everyone is Shocked (Please give me a monthly ticket~)

This envoy from the Weishui Pacification Division was an old acquaintance of Chen Ping'an, and the chief officer of the dispatch office, Zhao Lianzhi. They had had previous contact, and the two had a pretty good personal relationship.

When Zhao Lianzhi arrived at Wufeng Mountain City, Chen Pingan had just left the city. Since he didn't know the exact time of Chen Pingan's arrival, he waited here.

In the backyard of Wufengshan Town Fusi, Chen Pingan met Zhao Lianzhi, who was dispatched from the office.

"Lord Zhao, we meet again?" Chen Pingan walked forward with a smile.

"Your humble servant Zhao Lianzhi greets Commander Chen!"

During this meeting, Zhao Lianzhi's attitude was much more attentive than before.

When he saw Chen Pingan, he first bowed deeply, and then asked about his well-being. His attitude was extremely humble, without any reserve of a special envoy.

In the Zhenfusi system, when the rank reaches a certain level, a special envoy will escort the appointment documents and announce them on the spot at the local Zhenfusi! Generally speaking, as a special envoy, people will greet you with smiles wherever you go, and you will hear laughter. As a special envoy, you only need to be polite and wait for the local Zhenfusi to show its goodwill!
There was no need for an attitude like Zhao Lianzhi. It looked like Chen Pingan was a special envoy who came to announce the appointment, and he was the chief official of the territory who was about to be appointed.

"Master Chen, now that the Long'an Trade Route has been opened, there are thieves and troublemakers in various cities. I have seen more than one chaotic scene along the way. But when I arrived at Wufeng Mountain City, I felt something very different. There was peace and tranquility everywhere! Your ability and methods are truly admirable."

"Lord Zhao, you are too kind. I am just doing my duty and fulfilling my responsibilities!" Chen Pingan smiled and shook his head.

"Master Chen, there is no need to be so modest. Your ability is well known. Your methods and courage are enough for us to observe and learn from."

Zhao Lianzhi's repeated gestures of goodwill made Chen Pingan curious about the latest appointment.
After some pleasantries, Chen Pingan received two documents from Zhao Lianzhi: one was an appointment document from the Weishui Zhenfu Division, and the other was a letter from the Zhou Zhenfu Division to the Weishui Zhenfu Division for forwarding.

Whether it is the former or the latter, there is a special confidentiality sealing wax on the seal of the letter, and a special seal is also stamped to prevent forgery or tampering of the content of the letter.

Judging from the appearance, the latter has a higher level of confidentiality! It is understandable, after all, it is a letter from the State Pacification Department.

Under Zhao Lianzhi's gaze, Chen Pingan opened the first appointment document.

Speaking of which, Chen Pingan and Zhao Lianzhi had met several times, and each meeting was based on Chen Pingan's promotion. The last time they met, Zhao Lianzhi also announced Chen Pingan's latest appointment in public.

But this time when they met, he was only qualified to deliver the message, not to make an announcement.

"Here is the deputy inspector of the outer perimeter of Long'an Commercial Road, Chen Ping'an. Since he was enrolled, he has performed his duties conscientiously, worked diligently, and was loyal and repeatedly made contributions. The battle to encircle and suppress the Tianluo Sect's stronghold was used as a case study and included in the battle examples of the State Pacification Office. He is truly a pillar of the Pacification Office."

There was a lot of writing on the appointment document. In short, the meaning was either to praise Chen Pingan for his youth and ability, or to praise him for his dedication to duty and meritorious service!
"Rewards and punishments are the key to the country and the basis of trust and loyalty. Reported to the Canglong Prefecture Pacification Office for approval, and after deliberation by the Weishui Pacification Office, Chen Ping'an, the outer patrol officer of the Long'an Commercial Route, is promoted to the candidate for the commander-in-chief! To show his loyalty and to encourage him in the future."

"This appointment will take effect immediately, and the entire county and local governors will be informed!"

At the end of the appointment document, a large seal of the Weishui Pacification Office was stamped.

Alternate commander-in-chief!

Although he had some speculations, seeing it written in black and white on the appointment document still made Chen Pingan feel a sense of accomplishment in his heart!

Alternate commander!
Temporary police officer, registered police officer, police chief, police officer candidate, deputy police officer, police officer, chief police officer candidate, deputy chief police officer, chief police officer, commander candidate, deputy commander, commander.
After overcoming numerous obstacles and going through two years, he finally reached this step and entered the commander-in-chief system!
The candidate for the commander-in-chief is an absolute high-ranking official even in the Weishui Pacification Division, and his rank is above the chief officials of various offices. Looking at the Weishui County City, he is also a highly regarded existence, not to mention the local areas in the county!

"Your humble servant Zhao Lianzhi congratulates you on your promotion to the position of candidate commander. You are so outstanding and have made a rapid rise to the top. I wish you a prosperous career!"

Zhao Lianzhi bowed, clasped his hands, and congratulated loudly.

"Lord Zhao, there is no need to be so polite." Chen Ping'an smiled, raised his hands, and his attitude was the same as usual.

Hearing this, Zhao Lianzhi felt a little relieved. He was afraid that Chen Ping'an's attitude would change drastically after his promotion. Then all his previous friendships would probably go down the drain. Fortunately, Chen Ping'an was not such a person.

Zhao Lianzhi stood up and looked at the handsome and heroic young man in front of him, and felt deeply moved.

When they first met, the other party was still his subordinate in terms of rank. Although he tried to make friends with him, his attitude was not particularly attentive. When they met for the second time, the other party was already on an equal footing with him. At that time, he deliberately made friends with him in the hope of a better future!

And the facts were exactly as he thought, but the time passed faster than he thought. In just a few months, the other party overcame all obstacles and became his superior.

The world is wonderful, far more mysterious than novels and biographies.

Chen Ping'an gave Zhao Lianzhi the attitude he wanted, so Zhao Lianzhi naturally had to hold back and told him everything.

Originally, Chen Ping'an's appointment should have required at least an official at the level of a substitute commander.

However, now that the Long'an trade route is open and the Beicang auction is about to be held, there are many things to do. In addition, the Wanmo Sect and some thieves make occasional movements, and the Weishui Pacification Office is extremely short of manpower, especially at the level of the deputy commander, where there is simply no manpower at all. Therefore, in the end, he can only let the chief officer of the dispatch office come forward. This time, Chen Pingan has been wronged, and he hopes he will forgive him.

Chen Ping'an expressed his understanding of this. The Weishui Zhenfu Division was short of staff in all aspects. As a member of the Zhenfu Division, he should share the worries, so it was understandable.

Zhao Lianzhi praised Chen Ping'an's magnanimity, and said that after all the matters concerning the trade route were concluded, the Weishui Pacification Office would hold a promotion banquet to celebrate Chen Ping'an's promotion.

The candidate for the commander-in-chief is also an absolute high-ranking official in the county city. Such a transfer and appointment of position naturally requires a celebratory banquet.

Chen Pingan expressed his gratitude for the Weishui Pacification Office's thorough consideration and said frankly that he was not in a hurry and that the most important thing was the major issue.

The two of them had a pleasant conversation. During the conversation, Zhao Lianzhi occasionally glanced at another letter in Chen Ping'an's hand. He was extremely curious about this letter from the State Pacification Office.

However, no matter how curious he was, he couldn't show it at this moment. Looking at the letter in front of him, his mind was full of thoughts. Thinking of the rumors about Chen Pingan in the Weishui Zhenfu Division, he became more respectful.

There are rumors in the Weishui Pacification Office that an important figure in the State Pacification Office values ​​Chen Ping'an's talent and intends to arrange a marriage between him and a younger generation in his family.

The successful promotion to the candidate for the commander-in-chief was not only due to Chen Ping'an's own indisputable ability and talent, but also had a lot to do with this rumor.

After all, promotion quotas are precious, not to mention the candidate for the commander-in-chief. That is even more related to the factional struggle within the Weishui Pacification Division. Every time a quota is released, each family is eyeing it.

To be promoted to the candidate for the commander-in-chief, not only does the Weishui Zhenfu Division need to be approved internally, but it also needs to be reported to the State Zhenfu Division for approval. Only after the State Zhenfu Division approves and agrees, the promotion will be officially effective.

This time, the Weishui Town Pacification Office submitted the case to the State Pacification Office for approval, but they did not expect it to be approved so quickly. According to the efficiency of previous decision-making, the approval result should be at least after the Beicang Auction.

But no one expected that this time, the approval efficiency of the State Pacification Office was far beyond the ordinary, and it was approved at an extremely fast speed. Once this happened, it further confirmed the speculation within the Weishui Pacification Office.

According to Zhao Lianzhi's understanding, the major factions within the Weishui Pacification Office are mostly focused on winning over Chen Pingan.

Zhao Lianzhi was at the scene, so Chen Pingan was not in a hurry to read the letter sent by the State Pacification Office. On the contrary, Zhao Lianzhi came all the way here, so Chen Pingan had to make some arrangements.

Accompanied by Deputy Commander Zhong Shanyong, the two had lunch together in the Wufengshan Town Fusi. The specific details of the lunch were naturally handled by the subordinates and reviewed by a special person to check if there were any mistakes or omissions.

During the meal, Zhao Lianzhi recalled the incident of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect robbing and killing a caravan that he had heard about not long ago. This incident was of a serious nature and happened to happen in the area under Chen Ping'an's jurisdiction. So Zhao Lianzhi asked curiously.

I thought I would hear something like the matter is being investigated and there will be results soon.

Who would have thought.
Chen Ping'an actually replied that the matter had been properly handled and the corresponding process had been compiled into a written report and submitted to the Weishui Pacification Office.

Has it been properly handled?

Zhao Lianzhi was shocked when he heard this. He had met Chen Pingan several times and knew that he was not the type to do things without a purpose. Since he said this, I'm afraid the matter has really been dealt with.

Out of curiosity, Zhao Lianzhi asked a few detailed questions.

The three elders of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect involved in the incident were all executed.

The Wanmo Sect spy lurking in the Red Maple Market has been captured alive.

It is effectively inferred that there is a suspected base of the Ten Thousand Demons Cult in the area of ​​Hongfeng Mountain. We are currently investigating and may gain new results later! ?

The more Zhao Lianzhi listened, the more frightened he became.

In just a few days, three elders of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect were killed, the spy was captured alive, and even the strongholds of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect in the surrounding areas are being tracked down?
The efficiency is amazing!
The shock on Zhao Lianzhi's face lasted for a long time until the lunch ended. During the casual conversation after the banquet, a envoy from the Pacification Office came hurriedly from outside the door. When he arrived at the door and saw several adults inside, he did not dare to act rashly.

"Come in!" Chen Pingan looked up.

"Yes, sir!" The officer bowed and saluted, answered loudly, then ran in, ready to go to Chen Ping'an's side and whisper.

"Have you found out?" Chen Ping'an paused slightly while drinking tea, and the lid of the teacup stopped at the top of the cup.

Zhao Lianzhi sat aside, his mind moved, and he was a little curious. Zhong Shanyong knew what was going on, but he was also a little curious about who the owner of the head was and what his identity was.

The two held their breath and watched the situation on the field quietly.

The officer bowed and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, I have already checked it out."

"Since you've found out, just say it directly. This is Lord Zhao from the Weishui Pacification Office. We are all one of us. There's no need to hide it." Chen Pingan said calmly.

"Yes, sir." The officer's expression suddenly changed and he began to tell what he had found out.

"Sir, we carefully compared the head you brought back, and after repeated confirmation, we learned that this person should be the fifth disciple of the Tianluo Sect's Grandmaster Qi Jue Lao Ren, Li Pingjiang. He has been hanging around in Dihuo County and the surrounding areas for many years, making a great reputation and nicknamed Soul-Breaking Knife! He once killed a Xuanguang Middle Realm in a direct battle! During an operation to deal with the chaos of the Tianluo Sect, there was a deputy commander of the Dihuo Pacification Division, and two commanders died at his hands. In addition."

While the officer was still explaining the Soul-Breaking Sword, Zhao Lianzhi on the other side was dumbfounded, his eyes wide open, and he was speechless for a moment.

The Grandmaster of the Tianluo Sect! ? The disciple of the old man Qi Jue! ? The Soul-Breaking Sword! ? Killing the Xuan Guang Middle Realm head-on! ?
This. What did he hear?
In addition to Zhao Lianzhi, Zhong Shanyong on the side was also so shocked that he was speechless.

A disciple of the Tianluo Sect's master! ? He once killed a Xuanguang mid-level warrior! ? Even the candidate for the commander-in-chief of the Dihuo Pacification Division died at his hands! ?

What kind of fighting power is this!? It is almost the ultimate power!

He didn't know what happened after the master left the city. But he knew that such a ruthless person from the Tianluo Sect died inexplicably, and his head was brought back to the city by the master!

Less than two days after leaving the city, the master brought back such important news!

另外
Soul-breaking Knife, was it you who killed him? If so, then...
Zhong Shanyong opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

"Please give me your instructions, sir!" With an excited look on his face, the officer reported the details about the Soul-Breaking Sword, bowed his head and waited for Chen Ping'an's response.

"Yeah." Chen Pingan nodded slightly. Amid the surprised and doubtful gazes of the crowd, he picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea slowly.

It turns out to be called the Soul-Breaking Sword!
That strike was indeed somewhat strange! With the cultivation base of the middle realm of Xuan Guang, with one strike, he actually reached the threshold of the combat power of a top master!
As I was thinking, I took a sip of the warm tea, and a fresh and elegant fragrance instantly spread out. It was a little sweet, and a little bitter. It moistened my lungs and the aftertaste lingered.

It’s no wonder that he is a member of the Tianluo Sect!

Although Chen Pingan had some guesses about the sudden attack, he had never been able to confirm it. Until now, after listening to the report from his subordinates, his guess was confirmed.

He once worked with Qiankun Division to wipe out a branch of Tianluo Sect. In addition to Yin Jie Sword, who was in the middle stage of Xuanguang, Gu Wu, the rookie trained by Tianluo Sect and the Soul-Breaking Spear, died in his hands.

As for Yin Jie Jian's death, the Tianluo Cult may still not understand who killed him. But with the overwhelming announcement of the Zhenfu Division, even if the people of the Tianluo Cult were deaf, they probably knew Gu Wu's words clearly.

Obviously, both the siege at the entrance of the Tianluo Church and the death of Gu Wu had made him hated by the people of the Tianluo Church, and he even came into the sight of the top leaders of the Tianluo Church!
The use of the Soul-Breaking Sword is clear proof of this!

However, Soul-Breaking Sword would never have imagined that after traveling thousands of miles from Dihuo County to Weishui, he would end up with such an ending.

Talk about it.
It has been several months since the incident, why did the other party take action only now?
Is there some story behind this?
But the person is already dead, so none of this matters anymore. For Chen Pingan, the most urgent task is to maximize the benefits of this matter.

After thinking for a moment, he had an idea in his mind.

"The disciple of the Tianluo Sect, Soul-Breaking Sword Li Pingjiang, relied on his realm to commit crimes and intended to disrupt the peace of the trade route. He has now been executed! His head will be hung on the city gate to clearly indicate his identity, in order to deter those who have evil intentions and intend to disrupt the order, and to protect the peace of Wufeng Mountain City and the periphery of Long'an Trade Route!"

Chen Pingan put down the teacup and spoke lightly with a disdainful look on his face.
