Begin Immortality By Slaying Demons

Chapter 16 Baiyun’s Current Situation

 “Just keep two of them, the ones with better reputations will do.”

 Shen Yi’s current thoughts are on martial arts.

He was not very interested in the chores that the servant was responsible for and the little oil and water that came from eating Naka.

 Changing to two people with cleaner hands and feet would save them from doing more evil.

After hearing these words, Song Changfeng was stunned. He didn't quite understand whether the "reputation" the other party mentioned was an irony.

 In terms of reputation, as long as I am under your command, Mr. Shen, how can I end up doing well?

Soon, he turned around and called out two names: "Niu Da, Niu Er, from today on, you will be transferred as errands to take over the duties of those two people."

 The people whose names were called were the two strongest among the guards and the two with the most dissatisfied expressions.

The two brothers emboldened themselves and stood with arms folded with cold expressions, planning not to look good on the other side no matter what Shen said later.

However, Shen Yi didn't seem to have any intention of educating them. She just looked back at Song Changfeng: "Is there anything else?"

 The corpse of the police officer was lying in the courtyard, but the corpse of the demon was nowhere to be seen. It was indeed a bit strange.

 “Thank you for what happened yesterday.”

Song Changfeng sighed. He didn't know whether he was talking about the demon slaying in the squad room or Shen Yi finding an excuse to leave his house.

After saying that, there was a bit more complexity in his eyes: "Liu Dianli asked me to give you a message. He said that you should be careful when doing things. You have been a little over the past two days."

 In the past, Shen Yi's information was definitely better than this old man who was ignored, but today, the higher-ups passed the message through him.

 Perhaps in the past two days, the news about the head of the dog demon and the corpse of the ape demon finally spread.

　　　…”

Shen Yi frowned slightly and said nothing.

"Although the demon is cruel, it is still outside the county town. They are having some small fights. Just pretend you don't see them... You were not the best at this before."

Song Changfeng seemed a little lonely. It was obvious that yesterday's demon stormed into the county government office to question the crime, which had a great impact on him.

　　"Okay, you go ahead and do your work, I'll go home and have a rest."

Seeing Song Changfeng leaving the courtyard with a group of servants, Shen Yi slowly stood up and walked out of the house.

The Demon Suppression Division's inspection is about to begin, and the spirits of the Yamen gentlemen are also tense.

He just couldn't figure it out. Even if they got away with it this time, what would this group of people plan to do in the future?

Is it really more serious than losing your life if you temporarily take off the black gauze on your head?

That's a monster! When you eat people, you don't care whether you are an ordinary citizen or a lord of Yamen County!

 “Master Shen.”

Chen Ji clasped his fists and whispered: "Yesterday...are you okay?"

I wanted to ask what happened last night, but when the words came to my lips, I took them back.

"good."

 Shen Yi rubbed her temples.

Chen Ji seemed to have seen what he was thinking: "In recent times, both those in the yamen and the gentry in the county have tried every means to go to Qingzhou Huayinzi to invite famous martial arts masters, although they are just looking after them. Protecting the home can also deter the demons outside the city."

 “Martial artist?” Shen Yi looked sideways.

"Famous and upright people are all people with a legacy." Chen Ji looked envious and continued: "For example, the man invited by the Lin family, Master Liu Qi, who is known as the master of the monument, was just a demon who died under his iron palms. Just over double digits.”

"This group of martial artists grew up taking medicinal baths and taking precious meat and precious medicines. They are much more reliable than us, a group of monks who became monks on the way. Those wealthy gentry never expected to rely on us to protect the lives of their family."

“Aren’t the Yamen afraid of them using force to break the ban?” Shen Yi was a little confused.

"That's not the case. All famous and decent families have their names in the imperial court." Chen Ji usually seems to be taciturn, but he is very interested in these martial arts rumors.

"Besides, someone who was hired with money is not as powerful as someone who was hired with connections... It is said that the county magistrate sent a letter to his mentor in Qingzhou, inviting a big shot to come back. He will stay in the mansion on weekdays and will not show up easily. Even Liu Qi As soon as the master arrives in Boyun County, he must first send in his greetings."

Shen Yi felt moved after hearing this, and said slowly: "Do these martial arts sects have any requirements for accepting people?"

If you can find a disciple, it should be more comfortable than staying in this yamen. "Qualification, talent, family background and character are all indispensable." After Chen Ji said this, he pulled up his sleeves: "There is another rule that cannot be made explicit, and the most important point is that you cannot wear these clothes. "

Looking at his helpless eyes, Shen Yi suddenly understood.

The so-called Jianghu should be free and easy, but now you have to name yourself in the court before you can be recognized, as if you are tied to shackles.

At the beginning, they would inevitably worry about being annexed and assimilated by the imperial court. After this, it became a matter of course to keep out the evil spirits in the government.

"In short, Baiyun County is still Baiyun County no matter what. It's not causing any chaos. It's just causing suffering to ordinary people." Chen Ji's eyes became a little more angry. When he said this, he thought of something again and said worriedly: "A few The girls have been sent home, when will the ape demon come?"

 In the past, he would never have asked about this kind of thing. He would only scold the thief named Shen behind his back.

Now I suddenly realize that just yelling and scolding cannot solve the problem.

Other than being able to draw a sword and slash at him, he had no thoughts in his mind. He was filled with anger and blood. He could only place his hope on Shen Yi. The other party could easily hide under the noses of many monsters, so he would definitely be able to figure out a way.

 “Already sent away.”

Shen Yi revealed it lightly.

Hearing this, Chen Ji was slightly startled. He hadn't slept well all night, but the other party had actually settled the matter quietly.

“The ape demon didn’t say anything?”

"They said that I was very efficient in doing things in the past and they were very satisfied with me. They wanted to give me the position of head of the Song Dynasty."

Shen Yi recalled it and found out that the old ape in the Confucian shirt did indeed say so.

 “You agree?”

"No."

"No wonder..." Chen Ji felt a slight headache. He said that Song Tou had some kind of convulsion today. It turned out that this was the case.

“By the way, I just forgot to mention that you look a little strange today.” He raised his head.

 “What’s strange?”

  “I can’t tell you clearly…it’s just a bit eye-catching.”

Shen Yi nodded, probably understanding what the other party meant.

 The next moment, the breath flowing freely in the body slowly returned to the acupoints.

This cultivation level is to be shown to the Demon Suppressor, not to alert the demons. If all the little demons avoid me, it will be difficult to replenish the demon's longevity.

Shen Yi calmed down and waved her hand: "From now on, when you are on duty, you will take them with you and don't cause any trouble."

Hearing this, Chen Ji had doubts in his heart.

 It took a moment to realize what the other person meant.

 Are you planning to make a complete overhaul? Will you stop cutting the flesh from the common people in the future?

 “I understand the humble position!”

 “There’s one more thing.”

 Shen Yi called him to stop, and Chen Ji turned around in confusion.

 “Lend me some money and pay you back with a salary.”

　　　…”

Chen Ji rolled his eyes, OK, OK, now he's going to cut my flesh off.

He reached out and took out three pieces of silver from his waist, and muttered in a low voice: "I still have to save Jin Yu's dowry..."

“Don’t worry, if you can’t afford it, I’ll marry you.”

Shen Yi took the silver and walked out of the courtyard.
