I have a knife, I can kill monsters when I take it out of its sheath

Xing Gaoxi looked at the sky in Qinghe County and sighed: "A ruthless man has come from the Demon Suppression Department, Qinghe County is going to change!"

The scene in the yard was a signal and a declaration of war left by the ruthless man from the Demon Suppression Division. He wanted to clean up Qinghe County.

In fact, Xing Gaoxi had known that this day would come, but when it came, he still couldn't help but feel a little worried.

The Zhao Mansion is planning to annihilate the entire clan, so they must be planning something big. Now that the Demon Suppression Division is here again and will be ruthless, Qinghe County is changing, and under the big reshuffle, they, the detectives, are inevitably forced to get involved, and they don't know where they are going. How many times can you survive?

If the patrol department wants to be on its own, I'm afraid it's no longer possible.

"Master, is something going to happen in Qinghe County?" Ding You asked.

Xing Gaoxi nodded, "The weather in Qinghe County is about to change. All of you should pay attention during this period. You should arrange your family affairs well and try to keep your family from going out as much as possible."

"It's not that serious, boss!" One of the detectives frowned and said, feeling that Xing Gaoxi was a bit alarmist. Isn't this just a matter between the Demon Suppression Department and the Zhao Mansion? What does it have to do with the Patrol Department?

Xing Gaoxi didn't want to explain too much. How could there be eggs under the overturned nest? It all depends on how far the ruthless guy from the Demon Suppression Department wants to clean Qinghe County, whether it's the breeze blowing through the willows or digging three feet into the ground.

"Let's go back to the Patrol Department first. Don't clean up the yard of the Demon Suppression Department for the time being. This is the ruthless man's letter of challenge. You won't patrol the streets for the next few days. You can stay at the Patrol Department with peace of mind."

Xing Gaoxi came leisurely with a group of detectives and left in a hurry.

…

Qinghe County Government, the county monarch's surname is Jiang, his given name is Huiwu, his courtesy name is Zuozhi, and he was born in a Confucian family.

He also learned about what happened in the Demon Suppression Department and frowned. His judgment was the same as Xing Gaoxi's. The sky in Qinghe County was about to change, but he, the real god in Qinghe County, was powerless.

After dealing with a series of things, Jiang Zuozhi walked towards the study. As soon as he reached the door of the study, he sensed that there was someone in the study, and he was a stranger.

After a pause, he already had a guess in his mind, and he probably guessed who was in the study.

What is supposed to come will come!

He slowly opened the door and looked inside, only to see a young man in green shirt sitting on his chair.

On the table in front of the young man, there was a demon-suppressing sign and a long object wrapped with a strip of cloth.

Jiang Zuozhi walked in calmly and closed the study door.

"Xiao Qi from the Demon Suppression Department?"

Although he already knew the boy's identity, he still opened his mouth to confirm.

Ji Chen stood up, held the book in hand and said, "Suppress the black flag, small flag, Ji Chen, I have met the county king."

Jiang Zuozhi returned the Confucian gift, and then asked Ji Chen to sit down.

His official rank was higher than that of Ji Chen, but he did not dare to underestimate Ji Chen.

The Department of Demon Suppression is not only responsible for suppressing demons in the world, but also responsible for supervising all officials. Supervising whether the officials have been invaded by the will of demons or practiced evil methods.

Therefore, the people in the Demon Suppressing Division are small officials with great power.

He knew the reason why Ji Chen came to him, so he said directly: "Since everyone is a scholar, I will not beat around the bush. I know the reason why you came to me. I can only tell you that the Zhao family and I are not from the same road. .”

Seeing Jiang Zuozhi's eagerness to clear things up, Ji Chen stared into his eyes and said, "A gentleman must be sincere!"

Jiang Zuozhi stood up and said righteously: "A gentleman must be sincere!"

As he spoke, there was a majestic energy flowing in his body, and his words were sobering and inspiring.

This is an oath made with the Wen Gong Dao Heart. Once violated, the Wen Gong Dao Heart will be unstable and even face collapse.

Ji Chen said: "I believe you. I want to know how much you know about the Demon Suppression Division."

Jiang Zuozhi sighed: "I know a little about the Demon Suppression Division, but the Zhao family has a big background. When I came to Qinghe County to take office, my family also came with me, so it became a weakness. In addition, I will not be there for another two years." My term was over, and I wanted to spend these two years safely, so I chose to sit on the sidelines."

Ji Chen didn't say anything on the surface, but deep down he had murderous intentions. Sometimes mediocre officials deserved to be killed more than corrupt officials.

With Jiang Zuozhi's explanation, Ji Chen roughly understood the whole story of the Qinghe County Demon Division Incident.

Zhao Mansion was originally the largest cultivating family in Qinghe County. There were more than a dozen innate masters in the family. Legend has it that the head of the family had reached the fourth heaven and was the leader of the cultivating community in Qinghe County.

A few years ago, a daughter of the Zhao family married into the royal family of Zhongdu, which made the background of the Zhao family even more unpredictable.

A few months ago, a young master came to the Zhao Mansion. It was said that he was from the royal family of Zhongdu. Then a series of things happened. First, Zhao Qiguan of the Demon Suppression Department disappeared, and then several Xiaoqi disappeared one after another.

Immediately afterwards, the Zhao Mansion took over the Demon Suppression Division and sent someone to warn Jiang Zuozhi not to interfere.

Therefore, even if Jiang Zuozhi knew that the Zhao family had taken over the Demon Suppression Division, knew that Zhao Qiguan and others were afraid of danger, and knew what the Zhao family was plotting, he could only choose to turn a blind eye.

He still has the last two years before he leaves office perfectly. At the last moment, he wants to land safely.

He couldn't afford to offend the Zhao Mansion, let alone the forces behind it.

Jiang Zuozhi was a little helpless, "Qinghe County, now there is no way in or out. Even if I have the will, I am powerless."

Ji Chen stared at Jiang Zuozhi and said, "What is your city order for?"

While in Fenglin Town, Ji Chen remembered that Magistrate Guo once said that he could use the city order as a medium to contact Shangguan using secret methods.

Since County Magistrate Guo can do it, how could the county monarch, who is the king of a county, not be able to do it.

The county magistrate is the eighth grade, and the county monarch is the seventh grade.

Jiang Zuozhi was silent and didn't say anything.

The study was silent for a moment.

Ji took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly, with the murderous intention in his heart even stronger.

After talking with Jiang Zuozhi, Ji Chen roughly understood this person.

I can't say he is bad, but he is definitely a mediocre official.

Mediocre officials sometimes deserve to be killed more than corrupt officials.

They stand in the latrine without shit, look forward and backward, fear the wolf before the tail, and the tiger behind. The consequences are often more terrible than those of corrupt officials.

This is also the reason why officials take up their posts in different places, so that their families will not be a hindrance.

It is understandable that Jiang Zuozhi wanted to protect himself, but the sacrifice was for the interests of the entire Qinghe County.

As if feeling Ji Chen's killing intent, Jiang Zuozhi said: "Judging from your age, you should have just joined the Demon Suppression Division not long ago. Although the Demon Suppression Division has been fighting demons for a long time and licking blood from the knife edge, the officialdom is no worse than that of the Demon Suppression Division. It's like a battlefield, it's all about maneuvering. I just want to find a balance point and escape intact."

Ji Chen disagreed. He said: "To do great things, it is either a great achievement or a great failure. There is never a middle point to choose from."

"Yin evil is like weeds in the gutter. The weeds in Qinghe County have overflowed the river. Now is your last chance. Either clear the weeds or be cleared."

After saying that, Ji Chen stood up, put away the demon-suppressing card on the desk, picked up the horizontal knife, and walked out of the study. Then he took one step out and disappeared into the yard.

Jiang Zuozhi stared at Ji Chen's retreating back and sighed: "When doing big things, are there really only two options: success and failure?"
