Chapter 313 First Contact

Early in the morning, Weiwu Si Yamen Office.

Shen Qing crossed the threshold of the Weiwu Si Yamen Office as usual, preparing to go on duty.

"grown ups!"

An attendant from the Weiwu Si Yamen Office seemed to have been guarding the door early. At this time, he saw Shen Qing running over quickly. He bowed his hands and said respectfully: "There are several people who claim to be the imperial envoy. They are waiting in the private room and say they want to see you."

"Imperial envoy?"

When Shen Qing heard this, he couldn't help but trembled slightly in his heart.

Finally came.

There was such a big commotion in Yongzhou. Demons were rampant, the county guard was killed, and many high-ranking people were massacred...

Picking up any item is no small matter.

It's impossible for the Kyoto side to not sense it, it's just a matter of time.

I just didn't expect it to come so quickly.

However, when it comes to peace of mind, Shen Qing has already been mentally prepared for this matter and does not show any fear.

He plans to play it by ear and adapt to circumstances.

Shen Qing regained his composure and said slowly: "Please wait in the main hall. I will be there shortly."

"Yes." Chang Sui bowed and responded, then hurried out to make arrangements.

After a while, Shen Qing checked the imperial envoy's documents and confirmed his identity. Seeing that the time was almost up, he walked into the main hall unhurriedly.

As soon as he entered the main hall of the Weiwu Division, he saw several men in gorgeous official uniforms.

I saw that all of them were majestic, and a temperament unique to the superiors was naturally revealed invisibly.

Three of them have their own spiritual powers, and their cultivation levels are obviously beyond the innate realm.

Shen Qing looked carefully and saw a middle-aged man sitting in the center. The others were headed by him. He must be the imperial envoy appointed by the emperor this time - Shi Wenbo.

The remaining two people should be Cui Jin, the chamberlain supervisor, and Ji He, the chief mission officer of the Shanhai Division.

As for the young man next to him, he was Xue Yan, the third son of the general.

This lineup is really strong.

While Shen Qing was sizing them up, Shi Wenbo, Cui Jin, Ji He and others were also sizing up Shen Qing.

The morning light was light and dappled on his resolute face, adding a bit of extraordinary temperament to him. He looked like he was only eighteen or nineteen years old.

Although they had already expected Shen Qing's youth, they were still slightly stunned when they saw Shen Qing so young with their own eyes.

Shen Qing took a step forward, performed a standard official courtesy, and said in a tone that was neither humble nor overbearing: "My lords, I'm here in person. Shen is a little distant, so please forgive me."

Shi Wenbo put away his thoughts, smiled slightly and said: "Master Shen, you don't have to be polite. Something happened unexpectedly and we came here in a hurry. It's normal for you to be unprepared. Don't worry about it."

After some research and planning, Shi Wenbo found that Yongzhou was already stable, and the context of many things was very clear.

It is foreseeable that this errand must be an easy one, and it does not need to be too tiring and stressful.

Therefore, he was in a good mood and had no prejudice against Shen Qing.

Shen Qing did not continue to chat with them, and took the initiative to ask: "I wonder if these adults are here this time because of the demon issue. Does your Majesty have any other instructions?"

"Mr. Shen made a good guess. His Majesty heard about the Yongzhou demon and was worried. He immediately ordered me to wait until Yongzhou to investigate the matter." Shi Wenbo became much more serious in his words: "I heard that Lord Bai, the county governor, also What happened? Mr. Shen, can you tell us?"

Hearing this, Shen Qing frowned slightly, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

It seems that these people already have some intelligence and information.

The power possessed by Da Zhou's temples and major aristocratic families far exceeded his imagination. If he was not careful, it might lead to many unpredictable consequences.

However, there is no need to panic.

Judging from his experience along the way, when encountering this kind of situation, the best way is to choose to be honest and tell the truth.

Don't be clever, otherwise it will be easily exposed.

But there is also something to be said for telling the truth.

Don’t say too much, don’t say everything.

The more you talk, the more you lose the initiative.

Thinking of this, Shen Qing thought about his words and said truthfully: "Reporting to your lord, the death of the Sheriff was caused by the demon. He had previously attacked the snake demon who had gained the Taoist power, but he never wanted to be severely injured by it. After that, the Sheriff has not yet been killed. After recovering, he was targeted by another demon, so he took advantage of it and devoured him. "

When Shi Wenbo, Cui Jin, Ji He and others heard this, they found that what Shen Qing said was exactly the same as what they had heard, and Shen Qing was not playing tricks on them.

Several people couldn't help but have a better impression of Shen Qing.

"Then Master Shen, does he know why the demon appears in the city?" Shi Wenbo asked: "I remember that the Weiwu Division in the city specializes in this matter."

Shen Qing said: "Currently, from various evidences, it is inseparable from the high-ranking surnames in the city."

"Oh, what did these high-ranking people in the city do?"

Shen Qing shook his head, did a tai chi and said: "The Military and Horse Department is still investigating this matter, and it will take some time to sort out the details. I don't know much about this."

In fact, the demon thing was the result of those high-ranking officials plotting ideas and trying to sideline the Yongzhou County Government, but he could not tell these things directly.

It's okay for Gao Men to ignore Yongzhou County Government, and it doesn't involve him.

But it’s more troublesome when it comes to the land of inspiration.

Now he has collected a lot of spiritual energy in his hands. If someone knows about it, it might attract covetous attention.

Especially these people in front of you must be cautious in everything they say and do.

Fortunately, most of the people or demons who actually saw him collecting spiritual essences had been killed into corpses by him.

As we all know, dead people cannot speak.

Now there are only some rumors left in the city, which do not have much reference.

The best option in this situation is to say less or let them find out on their own.

Immediately afterwards, Ji He asked several questions in succession.

Shen Qing always tells the truth frankly.

After a while, Shi Wenbo, Cui Jin, and Ji He sorted out what happened in Yongzhou in recent days from beginning to end. There was no deviation from the information they had obtained, and it was almost completely consistent.

"It's true that a hero comes from a young age! When I saw him today, he certainly lived up to his reputation." After all the questions were asked, Ji He was the first to speak.

His voice was low and magnetic, full of gentleness: "When we first arrived, we heard about Mr. Shen's deeds. We all thought they were exaggerated. Now it seems that they have said less."

"Lord Ji, you are serious. The current result is the result of the united efforts of the Weiwu Division and the county government. It is not my fault alone."

Shi Wenbo tapped the table lightly and made a clear sound and said, "That's it for today. We will have to investigate and study it carefully next."

Shen Qing nodded and said: "Shen will do his best to cooperate with you all."
