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

Ji Chen got promoted.

His achievements in Qinghe County have been tallied up.

The flag-raising officer, the eighth rank, is subordinate to the Zhenhei Banner.

Monthly salary, fifteen taels.

Although his position was only promoted by one level, his grade jumped two levels in a row, from the ninth grade to the eighth grade, which was beyond Ji Chen's expectation.

Generally speaking, flag officers start from the eighth rank, and will be promoted to the eighth rank only if they have sufficient qualifications or have made great achievements. But as soon as he came up, he jumped directly to the eighth level, which was a bit abnormal.

Ji Chen has always believed in this saying, the more you give, the more you will spit out when you are required to give.

In addition to the official promotion, there are also a series of rewards, including 3,000 contribution points. Three thousand taels of silver. One ingot of star steel and one silver yuan pill. A chance to get into the arsenal.

Especially the Silver Yuan Dan, which is a type of elixir refined from the inner elixir of monsters. It is specially refined by the alchemists within the Demon Suppression Department. It can be directly refined and absorbed. One elixir can last for a month of practice.

Under the leadership of Xie Anbing, Ji Chen received all the items.

New official clothes, two sets of black brocade clothes, black fabric, white lining, red collar and cuffs turned out, with auspicious cloud embroidery.

The official uniform is no longer simply black, but has some simple embroidery. The embroidery is also auspicious cloud patterns, and there is a small bronze flag on the left chest.

The small bronze flag represents the identity of the flag officer.

"The governor wants to see you!" Xie Anbing said.

Ji Chen was a little surprised, "When will the Governor want to see me?"

"It's now!"

"Uh... Okay then! I need to help you lead the way!"

After coming to Liangzhou City for so long, Ji Chen was not very familiar with the Demon Suppression Division.

Xie Anbing led the way, and Ji Chen followed.

The Demon Suppression Division occupies a very large area. Of all the buildings in Liangzhou City, except for the academy, the Demon Suppression Division's building is the most extensive.

This is just a building on the surface. There are several levels of heavenly prisons underground in the Demon Suppression Department, which are called hells, and some big demons are imprisoned in them.

The building height of the Demon Suppression Division is second only to the academy.

"Xie Zongqi, can you tell me why the governor came to me?"

Ji Chen was suspicious. Logically speaking, he was not qualified to meet the governor.

"Perhaps it's because of the Shenhuo Cult. This is my guess. I don't know the details. I'll find out when I see the Governor."

The two passed through the courtyards and corridors and finally arrived at the place where the governor was.

This is a large but quiet courtyard with man-made rockeries and water diversion to create a lake. There are schools of fish and cranes swimming in the lake.

When he came to a door, Xie Anbing reached out and knocked on the door.

"Sir, Ji Chen is here!"

"come in!"

A peaceful voice came from inside.

Xie Anbing opened the door and went in first, followed by Ji Chen.

This is a study room with simple furnishings, except for a desk and a bookshelf. There are only a few books on the bookshelf.

A middle-aged man was sitting on a chair, reading a file in his hand.

This person is Xu Yuanzhen, the governor of Liangzhou Prefecture North Town, and the leader of the Demon Division of Liangzhou Prefecture Town.

All the forces in Liangzhou Mansion are under his jurisdiction, from the establishment of a sect to the establishment of a Taoist temple, all must have his approval. Otherwise, it will be illegal to establish a sect, and the Demon Suppression Department will come to your door the next day. , directly destroyed.

Ji Chen's eyes fell on the file in Xu Yuanzhen's hand, and he recognized it at a glance as a report file written by himself, which was about the detailed history of the Qinghe County case.

He implicitly expressed in the file that there was a problem with the Demon Division of Liangzhou Prefecture.

Xie Anbing bowed his hands and said, "Sir, Ji Chen is here!"

Ji Chen also bowed his hands and said, "I've met the governor before."

Daxia stipulates that those with ordinary status and above do not need to kneel when they meet officials, and those with noble status do not need to kneel when they meet the Holy Emperor.

Ji is not only a commoner, but also a scholar, so naturally he does not need to kneel down.

Xu Yuanzhen put down the file in his hand and looked up at Ji Chen. At this moment, Ji Chen felt as if his hair was standing on end, as if he was being targeted by a great terror.

In just a moment, this feeling disappeared.

Ji Chen was shocked in his heart. He was indeed the most powerful person in Liangzhou Mansion. Just one look was enough to make his body collapse.

"Ji Chen, whose courtesy name is Beigui, has an innate Taoist body and a holy body of Confucianism and Taoism. He uses his body to carry his words, which is rare in ancient and modern times. He has good calligraphy, a school of his own, good poetry, and outstanding literary talent. It is a pity not to continue studying."

Xu Yuanzhen spoke with a series of praises, which made Ji Chen feel a little embarrassed.

"Xiaguan has not given up studying and is preparing for spring in two years."

Xu Yuanzhen nodded, "If our Demon Suppression Division can produce a champion, it will be a good story."

Ji Chen said politely: "My lord is too optimistic about me. I don't dare to hope for the top spot. It's a blessing to be on the list."

Xu Yuanzhen said: "There is no need to belittle oneself. People must have a heart to move forward bravely. The road is full of competition, just like hundreds of millions of people crossing a single bridge. Without a courageous and diligent heart, they will fall under the bridge sooner or later."

"I will do my best to receive instruction from you!"

Xu Yuanzhen nodded.

"Xiao Xie, you go back first, I have something to tell Ji Chen."

"I'll take my leave!" Xie Anbing hurriedly resigned with fists clasped, closing the door at the same time.

Only Xu Yuanzhen and Ji Chen were left in the study.

"What do you think of the Shenhuo Cult?" Xu Yuanzhen asked directly.

Ji Chen thought for a while and replied: "Extremist people, from the perspective of the road, they are right. They are just seeking the truth. Everyone has the right, but the method is too extreme. From a civil point of view, they should be killed. Their morality It is not allowed by public opinion.”

Xu Yuanzhen nodded, very satisfied with Ji Chen's answer.

"The people are the foundation. To shake public opinion is to shake the foundation of the country."

As he spoke, he pulled out a dossier from the bookshelf behind him and handed it to Ji Chen.

"I have a task. After much thought, I think you are the most suitable person. You can read the file first."

Ji Chen took the file and started to look through it.

Xu Yuanzhen also explained: "To the north of Liangzhou City is the Northern Territory."

"That place in the Northern Territory is chaotic, with many demons, demons, and bandits. It is rich in all kinds of mineral veins, including rare iron ore, gold mines, and spiritual stone mines."

"There is a chaotic land near the Northern Territory and connected with Daxia. It was originally the territory of Daxia, but because it is close to the Northern Territory and influenced by the Northern Territory, the people's customs are fierce and chaotic."

"More than ten years ago, I supported an aristocratic family there to suppress the chaos, giving face to both black and white. The head of the family, Mo Fang Huaiming, is the head of the Mo family on the surface, but in fact he is the flag officer of our Demon Suppression Department. He has The two sons are also Xiaoqi of the Demon Suppression Division."

"A few days ago, I received news that something happened to the Mo family. The head of the family, Mo Fanghuai, suddenly died suddenly. The Mo family is in crisis and needs one person to handle it. After thinking about it, I think you are the most suitable for this task."

"I suspect that the Mo family's affairs are related to the Divine Fire Cult. You have fought against the Divine Fire Cult many times and have experience in this area."

"The main purpose of your trip this time is to find out the cause of Mo Fanghuai's death, or to abandon the Mo family and support a family again, depending on the situation. My only request is that the family that is supported must be controlled by our Demon Suppression Division."

"Besides, before you go, you can go to the arsenal and weapons depot. If there is nothing urgent, leave immediately!"

"I obey!" Ji Chen walked out of Xu Yuanzhen's study with the file.

He finally understood why his rank was upgraded two levels in a row. The more you give, the more you have to pay. It turns out that he is waiting here.

He had an intuition that this mission seemed to be intended to transfer him away from Liangzhou City.
