Chapter 105 Senior Sister Jiang Feiyan

Chapter 105 Senior Sister Jiang Feiyan

There are four counties and twenty-seven districts in Muzhou.

The four counties were Zhanghe County, Anbei County, Luquan County, and Shangfeng County.

Among them, Zhanghe County can be divided into two parts. One is the core area where the provincial capital Anle City is located, which is the richest place in Muzhou. The other is the remote area where the county seat is located, which is the poorest place in Muzhou.

Li Mo took a flying boat and arrived at Anle City, the provincial capital, about an hour later.

After he got off the flying boat, he walked through the bustling streets and headed straight for the Tianming Department of the provincial government.

Although he now has a transfer order and is a member of the Lingmu Sect's Special Service Hall, his position as the so-called deputy captain of the Special Service Hall is just a transfer order within the Lingmu Sect's internal position.

Next, he needs to pass the transfer order, report to the Tianming Division, obtain the official official documents of the Daqian court, be protected by the laws of the Daqian country, and become an official appointed by the court.

The so-called three offices and six ministries.

The three departments include the Tianming Department, which is one of the official forces under the court of the Daqian Kingdom.

Specifically.

The sect has its own management system.

The court of Daqian Kingdom has its own laws. Even the so-called super sects are just local forces in front of the court of Daqian Kingdom. Saint Qianyuan is by no means a mortal emperor who only cares about worldly affairs, but one of the most powerful late-stage cultivators in the Central Plains.

The so-called Ministry of Destiny is a monastic organization where disciples from various sects follow the laws of the court and professionally handle major cases involving demons, monsters, ghosts, and disasters in various places, as well as major cases that threaten the order of people's lives.

It can be understood as a national security agency on the same level as local governments.

However, the Tianming Division does not belong to the local government agency and is not responsible to local officials. Instead, it needs to accept the dual management of the imperial court and the sect, and has two sets of power systems within it.

"Li Mo, deputy captain of the Lingmu Sect's Special Service Hall."

The official from the Tianming Division who was in charge of receiving and reviewing Li Mo's transfer order carefully reviewed Li Mo's written materials. The more he looked, the more solemn his expression became, but he didn't say much.

About an hour later.

Li Mo completed the relevant procedures smoothly.

"Li Mo of the Lingmu Sect is appointed Deputy Chief Bannerman of Bai'an County, Anbei Commandery, Muzhou. He holds a seventh-rank official position and receives a monthly salary of 200 taels from the imperial court. During his tenure, he is required to eliminate any demons, secret organizations, evil sects, or serious criminals found within his jurisdiction and uphold justice. If he encounters a major case and is unable to handle it, he must report it to the imperial court immediately."

"Yes!"

After Li Mo received the transfer order to the position of deputy general flag of Bai'an County, he couldn't help but show joy.

He has finally realized his original dream.

The square-faced official from the Ministry of Destiny smiled and said, "Deputy Chief Li, I will have the official notice and documents delivered to Bai'an County within seven days. In the meantime, you can enjoy your trip along the way."

"Thank you, sir."

Li Mo bowed and said goodbye.

As an inspector of the Tianming Division, since he was under the dual jurisdiction of the imperial court and the Lingmu Sect, his salary was naturally double.

Therefore, he not only enjoyed a monthly salary of 200 taels of silver from the Daqian court, equivalent to 20 spirit stones, but also received a monthly salary of 20 spirit stones from the Lingmumen Special Service Hall.

If you take into account the rewards for various tasks within the jurisdiction, on average, you can get at least five or six hundred spirit stones in income every year.

Even for a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, this is not considered shallow.

As for the positions of inspectors in various places, from bottom to top, they can be divided into five levels: inspector, small flag, deputy general flag, general flag, and centurion.

Above them are the so-called imperial guards, thousand-household officers, and pacification envoys, which will not be described in detail here.

Li Mo's master Lu Qi was a thousand-householder.

Generally speaking, the level of a position in the Ministry of Destiny is linked to the realm of the cultivator. This is a common concept among all sects, and the level of one's position is determined by the realm of cultivation.

However, since the Ministry of Destiny is not completely under the control of the various sects and needs to obey the laws and regulations of the court, there will be special cases where people with lower cultivation levels are awarded higher positions due to their merits, or special cases where they are demoted due to mistakes.

With Li Mo's current cultivation level at the initial stage of foundation building, it is a normal arrangement for him to serve as the deputy chief of the Ministry of Destiny, a seventh-rank official in the imperial court.

More than ten days later.

Li Mo took a business carriage and traveled all the way to Bai'an County.

After entering the county town gate, Li Mo paid two hundred coins for the travel fee and walked on Zhengyang Street.

Zhengyang Street in Bai'an County is about three meters wide and paved with bluestone.

There were many merchants and travelers on both sides of the road, and the sounds of hawking were constant.

Li Mo walked northward along Zhengyang Street. He found that although this place was far less prosperous and bustling than the provincial capital Anle City, the small county town also had its own leisurely and comfortable life. The pace of life was obviously much slower. There were only about 70,000 to 80,000 people scattered throughout the county town.

Even if these people don't know each other, as long as they mention a common acquaintance, they basically know each other's background.

Tianmingsi of Bai'an County is located in the middle section of Zhengyang Street. It has a very advantageous geographical location, right next to the left side of the county government office, with a busy traffic in front of the gate.

"Unfortunately, there is no flying boat station here."

Li Mo smiled slightly and came to the gate of the Ministry of Destiny.

Two guards in flying bird uniforms stopped him. When Li Mo took out the transfer order, the two were shocked.

"Please follow me, sir."

Under the guidance of the guard, Li Mo came to a house to wait.

About half an incense stick of time later, a heroic female cultivator in a flying bird costume came out. She walked with a breeze and had a beautiful appearance. She looked at Li Mo with surprise.

"Are you Junior Brother Li Mo?"

"Exactly."

After confirming Li Mo's identity, the heroic female cultivator immediately stepped forward, grabbed Li Mo's arm in surprise, and showed a friendly expression.

"I'm Jiang Feiyan, your sixth senior sister!"

The female cultivator smiled happily and kept looking at Li Mo, seeming to be extremely satisfied.

"I've heard for a long time that Master has accepted a junior apprentice, but unfortunately I never got to meet him. Today I finally got to see him. He's so graceful and handsome, a real talent. His reputation is well-deserved. When Duan Shu first told me you were going to take up the position here, I couldn't believe it!"

Duan Shu was the person in charge of recruiting elite disciples above the seventh level of Qi training in the Special Service Hall.

Upon hearing this, Li Mo couldn't help but show joy on his face.

"Li Mo meets Senior Sister Jiang!"

"Haha! Junior brother, no need to be polite. Please stand up quickly!"

Jiang Feiyan then instructed the staff on duty, "Go tell everyone that Deputy General Li has arrived today. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. Everyone, gather at Cuifeng Tower!"

"Yes!".

Under Jiang Feiyan's warm hospitality and questioning, Li Mo began to talk about his background and educational experience.

He was from Shanbei Village, Hua'an Town, and was originally a traveling doctor. Heartbroken after his mother died and his beloved was sacrificed to an evil spirit by the goddess of the Tanhe Temple, he left town and headed for Anle City. There, by chance, he joined the Lingmu Sect...

Jiang Feiyan was stunned when she heard this.

"If that's the case, then we two siblings are really destined to be together."

Her face looked solemn.

"That was about five years ago. Not long after I was promoted to the middle stage of foundation building, I was transferred here to serve as the general flag. After completing the task handover with the previous deputy general flag Liu Biao, I had just been in office for a few days when disaster reports came frequently from various places. At that time, Bai'an County was in the period of expansion and reform of the Tianming Division. I was the first general flag here, and I was very anxious. Fortunately, my master happened to return from his travels. After hearing that I was working here, he stopped by to see me. He learned about my predicament and dealt with some evil spirits and rebellions." When she said this, she seemed to be thinking about something.

"I remember that the great evil spirit in the Tan River in Hua'an Town was dealt with by Master himself!"

Li Mo naturally already knew the whole story.

unconsciously.

The sky darkened and Jiang Feiyan smiled heroically.

"Let's go, Senior Sister will welcome you!"

Unlike the inner disciples’ daily practice, they can enjoy various benefits from the sect.

Although outer disciples cannot enjoy the same training conveniences as inner disciples, they can still enjoy many benefits that inner disciples cannot.

The first thing to talk about here is the desire for food.

Led by Jiang Feiyan, Li Mo came to Cuifeng Tower. After entering the box, more than 20 people stood up, both men and women, and greeted him with smiles.

What surprised Li Mo was that he actually saw an acquaintance here.

Zhao Xiaonan is here too!
Zhao Xiaonan obviously recognized Li Mo and looked at him in surprise in the crowd.

Jiang Feiyan took her seat and said with a smile, "Let me introduce you. This is Li Mo, who will serve as the deputy chief of the Tianming Division of Bai'an County. He is also my junior fellow apprentice. He completed his foundation building in just three years and is truly a rare talent that our sect only encounters once in a thousand years. He specifically applied to our master to take this position. Everyone, give him a warm welcome!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him in disbelief and gave Li Mo a warm round of applause.

After Li Mo sat down, Jiang Feiyan began to introduce the inspectors of the Tianming Division of Bai'an County to Li Mo one by one.

"Junior brother, our Tianming Division in Bai'an County is now strong and powerful. This year, the imperial court not only assigned us two disciples from our own sect and one from the Shenji Sect, but also assigned you as the deputy general. Haha, from now on, no matter what problems arise in the seven towns and eight hundred villages below, we will be able to handle them!"

You can tell that Jiang Feiyan is very happy.

"Come, Junior Brother, let me introduce you to the four flag bearers of our company."

A cultivator who can serve as a small flag must have a cultivation level of at least the tenth level of Qi training and sufficient qualifications. He or she will usually be accompanied by four or more inspectors as his or her subordinates.

"This is Tian Feng. We all call him Mr. Tian. He is the most senior flag-bearer here. If you have any questions in the future, you can always ask Mr. Tian for advice."

Li Mo looked at Mr. Tian.

This is an old man with an aged face and kind eyes. His temples are already gray. Although he looks to be in his fifties or sixties, he is still in good health.

"Please give me more guidance in the future, Mr. Tian."

"Deputy General Li, actually, just call me Old Tian, ​​hey."

Tian Feng seems not good at talking.

When he saw Li Mo saluting proactively, he was startled. When he returned the salute to Li Mo, he was obviously a little flustered, which made the people around him laugh.

Jiang Feiyan also shook her head and smiled.

"Junior brother, we only have so many people in the Tianming Division. We'll see each other every day. We can be considered a family, but there are no so many rules."

"okay!"

Li Mo was also infected by the atmosphere here and sat back in his seat.

Jiang Feiyan then pointed to a tall, righteous, and energetic male cultivator.

"This is Gao Zhengyi. Although he's a disciple of the Fenghuo Sect, he's also a capable member of our company. He's solved many important cases and works tirelessly here. He's our role model!"

"Meet the Vice President!"

Gao Zhengyi's voice is full of sunshine, which fits his name very well.

"Nice to meet you."

Li Mo responded with a smile.

Then Jiang Feiyan looked at a dark-skinned, serious male cultivator with single eyelids.

"This is Zhu Wei, a disciple of the Tianfu Sect. He is a talented person who has accumulated a lot of experience in our company. In the past three years, his cultivation has improved rapidly. He is the most promising talent in our company to establish a foundation in the near future."

Li Mo and Zhu Wei looked at each other.

Zhu Wei smiled and nodded, but Li Mo was a little surprised.

This person was actually the cultivator who had disguised himself as Zhang Tiedan at the Eighteen Famous Mountains Meeting and cast a spell to kill Jiujiang Leilong Taishou!

It seems that killing Jiujiang Thunder Dragon Taishou has brought him a great opportunity.

But it was obvious that he no longer remembered Li Mo.

The last Xiaoqi was a young woman with a pretty face and charming demeanor.

Jiang Feiyan looked at him and chuckled.

"This is Meng Xiangqiao, also my good sister. We still don't have a dual cultivation partner. If you're interested, you might as well get in touch with her...haha!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Xiangqiao immediately started laughing and joking with Jiang Feiyan.

It can be seen that the relationship between the two is very close, not like that of a boss and a subordinate at all. Li Mo couldn't help but shake his head and smile, knowing that Senior Sister Jiang was joking.

After the two of them laughed and joked, Jiang Feiyan began to introduce the inspectors present one by one, and Li Mo memorized them one by one.

However, he did not see the inspector who killed the Six Evils of Meishan here.

I think he should be the inspector from another county.

After Jiang Feiyan finished her introduction, she looked around and asked, "Who's out on a mission and hasn't returned yet?"

Gao Zhengyi was the first to raise his hand.

"A wanted criminal with a high bounty appeared in Tongchao Town. Lu Tianyou went there this morning and it will probably take a few days for him to come back."

Zhu Wei also said in a deep voice: "There was a family annihilation incident in Lingshan Town. I asked Wang Ping to go there."

Jiang Feiyan nodded and looked at Li Mo.

"These are the only people in our company."

Li Mo was shocked when he heard this!
"Lu Tianyou is here too?"

Only then did he remember that Jiang Feiyan had just said that two disciples of Lingmu Sect were assigned here as inspectors this year. One of them was Zhao Xiaonan, and the other was actually Lu Tianyou?
This is such a coincidence. Li Mo feels that there are surprises all over here.

"Yes!"

Jiang Feiyan asked in surprise: "Do you know each other?"

"He is my good friend."

"Oh?"

Facing Li Mo's response, Jiang Feiyan said in surprise, "I saw that he was a bit negative and depressed, so I assigned him to Gao Zhengyi. He has improved a little in the past two months. You should persuade him more in the future."

"It's natural!"

Although Li Mo had just arrived here, he had already completely fallen in love with everything here. It was as if he was back home and felt very at home.
