I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 75: If there is something wrong, the general flag will do it.
Roll call was being made on the training ground, and the officers were lined up in order according to the ten divisions.

When Chen Mo passed by Guishuisi, everyone gathered around him.

"Boss!"

"Master Chen!"

Looking at those familiar faces, the atmosphere became a little heavy. Chen Mo shook his head and said, "It's just a change of office. Why do you make it seem like a farewell of life and death?"

Everyone was silent.

"Okay, Liu Mang, do a good job."

Chen Mo patted Liu Mang on the shoulder.

He was transferred to the Dinghuo Division to fill the vacancy left by Chu Zhuo, while Liu Mang was promoted to general flag and temporarily took charge of the affairs of the Guishui Division.

This taciturn man is very strong both in personal strength and in ability to do things. As long as he accumulates some merits and experience, he will have a great chance of becoming a centurion.

Liu Mang said sullenly, "Boss, I am always the boss."

At this time, Shen Shuchou came over with a gloomy look on his face.

Chen Mo's transfer to Dinghuo Division caught everyone off guard.

Lord Yun directly overturned the table in Qilin Pavilion, pointed at the nose of the Captain of the Fire Department and scolded him for abusing his power for personal gain. If the other Captains had not tried to stop him, he would have probably been bloody on the spot.

Finally, the matter was brought to the attention of the commander, but he only received a light sentence:

The Eastern Palace’s order.

"The Queen actually disregarded her dignity and forcibly interfered in the affairs of the department?"

What Shen Shuchou was most worried about was not that the Guishui Division had lost a pillar, but that Chen Mo had no foundation in the Fire Division. He would definitely be ostracized if he went there, and his life would probably not be easy.

Chen Mo cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Shen, on your promotion."

Shen Shuchou showed no joy at all, and frowned, "Chen Mo, this matter was arranged by the higher-ups. Lord Yun..."

Chen Mo smiled and said, "It's okay, I know what's going on."

Seeing his heartless look, Shen Shuchou looked helpless and said, "You don't have any followers there, pick a few people from the company and take them with you, it will be more convenient to do things this way."

"If they dare to make things difficult for you, just come to me, and Lord Yun will support you."

The Tianlin Guard has been quite turbulent recently and is difficult to operate. We can only wait until the situation stabilizes and then find a way to transfer Chen Mo back.

"If you bring someone..."

Chen Mo pondered for a moment and only took Qin Shou with him.

After all, Liu Mang had just taken office and his subordinates were in need of new people.

……

Chen Mo walked towards Ding Huosi with his hands behind his back.

Qin Shou, who was short and fat, followed behind happily and said with a smile: "Boss, did you choose me because I am capable and the subordinate you value most?"

Chen Mo said calmly, "No, it's because when you are next to me, I will look particularly handsome and majestic."

Qin Shou: “…”

Came to Dinghuosi Yamen.

Qiu Longgang was standing with his hands on his waist while giving a lecture, his sharp voice echoing in the air:

"You all look listless, so cheer up and follow my instructions..."

Qin Shou couldn't help but shudder and whispered, "This Fire Master has such a strong Yin energy..."

"Ok?"

Although Qin Shou's voice was very low, it could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of a fifth-grade warrior.

As soon as Qiu Long turned his head and saw the two of them, his face turned cold and he raised his hand to slap them!
True energy condensed in the air, like dark clouds covering the sky!

He didn't hold back at all!

The drunkard's real intention was not to drink, his real purpose was to test Chen Mo.

"I saw that you have a good appearance and wanted to give you some advice. Since you don't know what's good for you, let me see how capable you are!"

"A sixth-rank warrior is not qualified to be a hundred-member Tianlin Guard!"

Qiu Longgang narrowed his willow-leaf eyes slightly.

Then, the pupils suddenly shrank!
I saw a brilliant green light flash, and instantly tore the Zhenyuan hand into pieces!

Swah——

A breeze brushed my cheeks.

A deep bloody cut was left on Qiu Longgang's fair face!
Chen Mo stood with his hands behind his back, and no one could see clearly when he made his move!
The atmosphere instantly reaches freezing point!

Qiu Longgang took out his embroidered handkerchief and wiped the blood off his cheek, his eyes full of coldness, "Master Chen has great swordsmanship."

Chen Mo said calmly, "Captain Qiu, do you want to show off your power in my territory?"

"Your territory? It seems you haven't figured out the situation yet." Qiu Longgang sneered and said sharply, "The deputy commander has ordered that the Ding Fire Division fully cooperate with the Bing Fire Division to deal with the backlog of old cases in the yamen!"

"Everyone, follow me!"

The scene was completely silent, and no one moved.

?

Qiu Longgang looked at the officers and frowned, "Why, do you still want to disobey orders?"

Li Yuan stood at the front, with a Mo Dao on his shoulder, and turned a deaf ear to his words.

At this time, Chen Mo waved his hand and said, "Go away."

Li Yuan's voice was clear, "The hundred households have received an order, everyone return to their posts!"

"Yes!"

The crowd responded loudly and scattered.

Li Yuan has a very high prestige in the Dinghuo Division. After Yan Liang was imprisoned, she took over all affairs and could be said to be the number one person under the rank of Baihu.

It is better for the county magistrate to be in charge. No one would be stupid enough to offend his immediate superior because of a deputy captain who seldom shows up.

Otherwise, you will be like a centipede going out - you will have endless troubles!

Qiu Longgang's face flushed red. He had originally been preparing to give Chen Mo a warning as requested by the deputy captain, but he didn't expect this to happen.

He looked at Chen Mo, then at Li Yuan, and seemed to understand something. He said in a cold tone:
"Great, Captain Chen, good tactics!"

"No delivery."

Chen Mo turned and walked into the office.

Qiu Longgang gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and walked away with his hips swung.

……

Dinghuo Siya.

Chen Mo sat on the chair with his legs on the table.

Li Yuan stood by and made tea, asking for credit: "How was my performance just now?"

"Okay, I'll reward you."

Chen Mo raised his hand and took the photo.

Snapped--

The buttocks are trembling and full of elasticity.

Li Yuan shook his wrist and the scalding hot tea spilled out.

His heroic cheeks quickly turned red, as if a glacier was melting. He first looked up to see if there was anyone around, and then glared at Chen Mo angrily.

"You, you scoundrel, how can you be so frivolous in public?"

"From what General Li said, can we be frivolous in private?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

"I did not mean that!"

Li Yuan felt powerless.

I really want to be angry, but I just can't...

"It's only been a few months, and this person has already become so bold. If it goes on for a few more months... I can't even imagine it!"

Li Yuan secretly made up his mind that he must stop this evil trend!

Snapped--

"Well!"

Li Yuan groaned, his face looking like a burning cloud.

Chen Mo frowned and said, "Mr. Li, I'm talking to you, why are you in a daze... The tea from your Dinghuo Division is too bad, it's all dregs, even a dog wouldn't drink it."

Li Yuan suppressed her embarrassment and shook her head, saying, "There are only five taels of silver left in the government account. It's good enough to have something to drink."

"Duo Shao? Five taels?!"

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, "Where's the money? Where did the money go?"

Each office has funding from above to use for public expenses such as transportation, strain, injuries, etc. If a case is completed, there will be additional rewards, and you can take your subordinates to the Jiaofangsi for team building.

Five taels...not even enough for tea!
Li Yuan said helplessly: "Yan Liang is a scoundrel, Chu Zhuo doesn't manage things very well, there are a lot of cases piled up, the account book is only outgoing but not incoming, how can we save money?"

"Last time, the imperial court gave a bounty for killing the demon, but Chu Zhuo took it away right after it arrived..."

"If this continues, we will definitely be held accountable by the higher-ups..."

The government offices have requirements for the "crime-solving rate". If the standards are not met, the centurions will bear the primary responsibility and may even risk being demoted.

Chen Mo sighed and felt a little headache.

I knew this matter wasn't that simple, it really is a mess...

Seeing that he was frowning, Li Yuan comforted him, "It's okay. After all, you just took office. The higher-ups shouldn't be too demanding of you."

Chen Mo shook his head.

Judging from Qiu Longgang's attitude today, someone has been keeping an eye on him and will definitely take advantage of the situation if they get the chance.

Although he had no interest in the position of Dinghuosi Baihu, leaving on his own and being driven away were two different concepts! "Go and get all the backlogged cases. I'll take a look at what's going on first." Chen Mo said.

"it is good."

Li Yuan nodded.

……

A quarter of an hour later.

Looking at the mountain of documents in front of him, Chen Mo frowned, feeling at a loss as to where to start.

Fortunately, we have Li Yuan, a caring little secretary.

She sorted all the cases into categories in an orderly manner, and placed them in three piles in front of him.

"These are cases that have been in backlog for more than three months, and many have become unsolved cases..."

"These are requests from the Six Gates for cooperation. You can hold off for now..."

"These cases are of the highest urgency and should be addressed as a priority..."

Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction, "Well done."

Raise your hand——

Li Yuan twisted her waist and the slap missed.

She glared at Chen Mo in reproach. This scoundrel always took advantage of others whenever he got the chance. He was so bad!
At this time, Chen Mo noticed that there was a document placed alone with a red cross on it.

"what is this?"

Li Yuan said: "This case has been taken over by the Binghuo Division, and it seems that Captain Qiu is in charge of it personally."

Chen Mo reached out and picked it up, looking at it carefully.

"People in Linglan County are missing, suspected to be evil spirits."

"Seventy-two people are missing, and the reward is... two thousand taels?!"

"so tall?"

Li Yuan explained: "Originally, one family offered a reward of five taels of silver, and together with the government office, we raised a total of five hundred taels. However, one of the missing persons was the daughter of a local wealthy man, so we directly increased the reward to two thousand taels."

"As long as we can find the person, it doesn't matter if he lives or dies."

Chen Mo thought for a moment and asked, "For a case like this, whoever solves it gets the credit, right?"

Li Yuan nodded and said, "In theory, that's right."

Chen Mo raised a cold smile, "Okay, that's it! A new official has three things to do when he takes office, so let's start with that damn demon!"

……

Fire Court.

A slightly thin man with dull features sat on the official seat and said in a low voice, "You mean, Chen Mo has already taken control of the situation as soon as he arrived at Dinghuo Division? Even I can't mobilize anyone?"

Qiu Longgang bowed and stood aside, "Replying to Lord Jian, Dinghuo Division's Chief Li Yuan seems to have a good relationship with Chen Mo, and has a high prestige in the division. With her around, the officers dare not act rashly..."

Snapped--

A drop of blood fell to the ground.

Jian Yinshan glanced at him with his light grey eyes, "Are you hurt?"

Qiu Longgang covered his face and said softly, "We underestimated the enemy. Chen Mo's swordsmanship is not bad, and his strength is more than the sixth rank."

"waste."

Jian Yinshan said coldly.

Qiu Longgang lowered his head and dared not to argue.

Jian Yinshan tapped the table with his fingers and pondered for a moment.

There are two deputy captains in the Fire Department, and he is one of them.

This time the position of Captain of the Dinghuo Division was vacant, and he had wanted to arrange a trusted person to take the position, but instead Chen Mo suddenly showed up out of nowhere and disrupted all his plans.

And just a few days ago, Yan Linghu found him and wanted him to help deal with someone...

It’s also this Chen Mo!

"The Dinghuo Division has too many bad debts. There are only two months left before the Beijing inspection, and it is impossible to deal with them all."

"By then, he will have to leave in disgrace without me having to do anything!"

Jian Yinshan shook his head and no longer took the matter to heart.

"Go ahead and get it done."

"Yes."

Qiu Longgang twisted his waist and retreated.

As soon as she walked out of the door, her face, which was covered with powder, became gloomy, and she secretly complained:
"We are fighting for our lives outside, but he is taking it easy in the government office. He wants to take 1,800 taels out of a 2,000 tael reward... Even the charcoal at the bottom of the pot is not as black as this!"

Even if the case is handled, I won't get any money.

If you don't do it well, you will be held accountable.

If it weren't for the fact that he was promoted by Jian Yinshan, he would really want to quit.

Arriving at the office, we gathered our men and prepared to set off.

Suddenly, the neighing of horses was heard not far away, and several figures galloped away on horseback.

Qiu Longgang asked: "Which office is that person from?"

The general flag officer at the side replied, "It seems that Captain Chen from the Dinghuo Division has taken people out to investigate the case."

"Chen Mo? It seems like he's anxious."

Qiu Longgang raised his red lips and sneered, "The child died and you came to milk. There are so many unsolved cases and bad cases. I don't believe you can solve them all! You deserve it for making my face look bad!"

"Hmph, let's go!"

"Yes!"

……

Linglan County is about five hundred miles away from Tiandu City.

This time, Chen Mo only brought Li Yuan, Qin Shou, and five runners. They traveled light and arrived at the county town before noon.

Compared with Tongling County, which is mainly based on farming, Lingli County is much more prosperous. Because it is backed by the Canglan River, fisheries and river trade are very developed. It is an important economic town under the jurisdiction of Tiandu City.

At the city gate, the merchant caravans with their carriages and horses formed a long dragon.

The guards at the city gate checked everyone one by one to see if there were any suspicious people or contraband, and from time to time people were driven away in disgrace.

"It's not so strict to enter the city normally."

"A lot of people have gone missing recently, and it's been quite a big deal."

"I heard it was a demon..."

Da da da--

At this time, the sound of hurried horse hooves rang out.

Several figures rode their horses across the long line and came to the gatekeeper.

One of them showed his badge, and the gatekeeper hurriedly saluted, bowed and led the few people into the city.

"How can you cut in line? You have no manners!" a young man said with dissatisfaction.

"Shut up, don't you recognize the official robes of the Tianlin Guards? If you provoke them, you can cut in line at the King of Hell's place!" The old man next to him glared at him.

The young man's face turned pale and he dared not say anything.

……

Chen Mo and his companions rode into the city.

The wide stone road is crowded with people, shops are lined up on both sides of the road, and vendors setting up stalls on the street are shouting loudly, creating a prosperous and lively scene.

Li Yuan asked: "Chen... Ahem, sir, where should we start investigating?"

Chen Mo looked around, pointed at the "Zuixianju" nearby, and said, "This is it."

"Let's go to the restaurant to get information first?"

"I'm hungry, let me have lunch first."

"..."

Everyone tied the reins to the horse posts and walked into the restaurant.

When the shopkeeper saw their official robes, his face changed. He quickly came forward and bowed, saying, "I am honored to meet you, gentlemen. Would you like to stay overnight or stay at the hotel?"

Linglan County is quite large, and it would certainly be impossible to check it all within half a day, so naturally we have to find a place to stay first.

"Stay in the hotel, eight clean rooms, and make a few more hot dishes." Chen Mo said.

The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed and said, "Sir, there are only three empty rooms left in the shop. Please see..."

"The room will be full before noon?"

Chen Mo frowned slightly.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, you don't know that it is the fishing season now. There are many caravans coming and going in the city, and the rooms are in short supply. We have only temporarily cancelled three rooms, and the other restaurants are basically full..."

"If you don't mind, we can squeeze in. It's no problem for two or three people to sleep in one room."

Everyone looked at each other.

They didn't care, they were all rough men anyway, but there was also Li Yuan...

At this time, Qin Shou said, "Boss, why don't we just stay here? The three of us can sleep in one room, and you and Li Zongqi can squeeze in a little bit..."

Chen Mo glanced at him.

You are quite good at arrangements.

"Li Zongqi, what do you think?"

Li Yuan's ears felt hot, but his face was expressionless. He said calmly, "When you are away from home, this kind of situation is unavoidable... I'm fine."
