The demon world I designed

Chapter 22 Recruitment

Is it true?

As soon as Chen Qing arrived in Beijing, she heard Wang Ye talking about the court meeting and was immediately confused.

I originally wanted to go to the north for a while, but according to Wang Ye, if I could handle the Thousand-Faced Fox incident, could I directly become the prefect of Liuzhou?

hiss…..

While feeling a little dreamy for a moment, Chen Qing was a little confused.

To be honest, he is definitely willing to be promoted. The route he wants to take has requirements for official positions. The bigger the official, the faster his strength will increase.

But the disadvantage is that the place is not very good...

Although the environment in the north is worse, it is still heavily guarded. Yanyun is a battleground for military strategists. The imperial court finally captured it with great difficulty, so it must be extremely important. There must be countless bloodline children guarding there. Behind the Thousand-faced Fox The powerful hand shouldn't be able to stretch that far.

Liuzhou is different. Although it has beautiful scenery and abundant finances, its shortcomings are also very obvious. From the example of Mr. Huapi, we can see that the land south of the Yangtze River is now full of demons, and the other party has laid out Liuzhou for many years. Even if Huapi dies, There must be other arrangements left.

Coupled with the back-up of the forces behind it, staying there is extremely risky!

"You said it was Qin Guogong who recommended me?" Chen Qing asked curiously.

"Well..." Wang Ye nodded. Although he is a puppet, for some reason, Wang Ye's movements have become more and more coordinated and soft recently, and he looks just like a real person.

"Actually, I still want to ask, when did Master Chen get involved with the Duke?"

"I don't even know who he is, okay?" Chen Qing rolled his eyes.

As a son of a peasant family, his knowledge of the situation in the court was limited, and the court seemed to deliberately downplay the reputation of those nobles, and rarely heard about the deeds of several nobles.

Wang Ye nodded when he heard the words: "There is no best. The Duke of Qin has a lot of power and can almost be said to be the most decorated in martial arts. But now that the fire is burning, it is best not to have anything to do with him..."

"Why?" Chen Qing asked curiously.

Wang Ye was patient and explained in detail the status and situation of Duke Qin at this time. Chen Qing was stunned for a while.

The general meaning is that when they were fighting for the world, there was a very powerful being who called himself King Qin and almost had the power to unify the world, but at the last moment he was recognized as a monster.

This caused a huge chaos. Many aristocratic families rebelled instantly. Coupled with the desperate counterattack by external forces, in less than half a year, the arrogant and coaxing King of Qin was forced to death.

After the death of King Qin, his power was divided among several large families. Among them, the two most powerful were the Xiao family, the current royal family, and the Lu family of Qin Duke Lu Ming!

This was originally the beginning of another wave of chaos among warlords, but at the critical moment, the Lu family gave up their ambitions for hegemony, and relied on their prestige to bring many of the Qin King's old troops under the Xiao family. Together, the two families gathered 80% of the Qin King's former members. The power of the Central Plains was pacified in only ten years and the Jin Dynasty was established!

According to Wang Ye, the Duke of Qin was extremely humble and sensible after the founding of the dynasty. He not only refused to be enfeoffed by kings with different surnames, but only received the title of Duke, he also lived in seclusion on weekdays and never formed gangs. But even so, five of the eight Dukes They have a close relationship with each other. The Tianlin Guards of the Lu family are also the strongest army in the Jin Dynasty!

After hearing this, Chen Qing's head suddenly buzzed. This is a script that says that if you don't rebel, your whole family will be copied and killed...

Are you crazy? Did I provoke you? Why would you recommend me if you have nothing to do?

"I...didn't offend that Duke of Qin, did I?" Chen Qing cried with a sad face. This is really...a big black pot falling from the sky...

"That's not sure..." Wang Ye chuckled and said, "Do you know who Jiangnan Xuezheng is?"

"Study and politics?" Chen Qing recalled: "From what General Wei said, it seems that his name is Lu Hongqing... um, can't he?"

"Yes!" Wang Ye said slowly while drinking tea: "We belong to the same family. He is the fourth son of Qin Guogong's concubine."

"Huh?" Chen Qing felt cold.

"But he is not welcome." Wang Ye said calmly: "I heard that this concubine was severely persecuted by the princess and her mother. His biological mother was a concubine and was beaten to death for an excuse. His fellow concubine was also tortured by the mistress for various reasons. After his death, he moved out of the Duke's Mansion after being admitted as a Jinshi. It is said that he never went back. Later, because of his special potential, he was valued by the previous Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and trained him personally. He graduated from the imperial examination at the age of only thirty-four and became my great Jin Dynasty. The youngest academic administrator!”

"Hiss..." Chen Qing took a breath after hearing this.

The water is very deep...

Qin Guogong's son is studying politics, and he happens to be studying politics in Jiangnan. Does the Liuzhou incident have anything to do with him?

Why did Duke Guo of Qin suddenly recommend him?

What's the connection?

The more he thought about Chen Qing, the more his heart grew colder. There must be a big boss behind the Thousand Faced Fox incident in the capital. From what Wang Ye said, the Duke of Qin was extremely suspicious, and now he was deliberately recommending himself. What on earth was he thinking?

Seeing that Chen Qing's surprised look didn't seem to be fake, Wang Ye's eyes flashed with an inexplicable flash. He had investigated Chen Qing before meeting him, and theoretically he should not have any entanglements with Qin Guogong.

But this guy is very good at pretending, and there are some things he really can’t say for sure...

"According to the final result of the discussion, Pei Jun, the Minister of Criminal Affairs, will be responsible for this investigation together with you, while Yu Chipeng will be mainly responsible for protecting your safety!"

"Protect my safety..." Chen Qing looked at the other party inexplicably.

The person in front of me didn't know what method he used to get Yu Chipeng to help conceal the matter of the ghost baby. Now that the ghost baby is hidden in the mountains outside the capital, he can't protect himself for the time being, and indeed he can only You can rely on Yuchi Peng.

But he was more concerned about another thing.

"Your Excellency, will you not participate in this Thousand Faced Fox investigation?"

After all, he was the person who was in charge of the case in the first place. According to the other party's tone, he was completely excluded.

Wang Ye looked outside with a smile, and Chen Qing followed him and immediately saw a black-clothed guard hiding in the shadows, holding a book in his hand, recording their conversation...

Chen Qing swallowed his saliva. Fortunately, he didn't say anything he shouldn't have just said...

It seems that Wang Ye's current situation is not completely believed by the higher-ups, but that is true. The Thousand-faced Fox incident is related to the country, so we cannot take risks...

"That Mr. Pei Jun...well, are you easy to get along with?" Chen Qing inquired about the situation.

After all, he has not entered the officialdom yet, so the peasant boy has no idea about this information.

"Master Pei Jun is talented, his skills in magic are better than mine, and he is a cousin of His Highness the Crown Prince. You can rest assured that he is absolutely reliable."

Chen Qing: "……."

Top connections, they sound unreliable at all...

"Yu Chipeng will observe mourning in the mourning hall today. The court has given him half a day. You can ask the commander to notify him in the afternoon to assist in the investigation."

Chen Qing was silent for a few seconds, and then asked: "Where is Yuchi's Mansion?"

"You want to visit?" Wang Ye said amusedly, "The situation is urgent, but it's not your turn to contact me at this time."

"After all, the demon fox has been to Yuchi Mansion and may have left some traces."

"I see..." Wang Ye looked at the guard in charge of recording. The guard nodded slightly. Wang Ye turned around and said, "Then let your commander take you there..."

——

"This is the Yuchi Mansion..." Chen Qing looked up at the plaque. The entire Yuchi Mansion door looked majestic and majestic, indeed the style of a family of military generals.

According to Wang Ye, the Yuchi family was trusted by the royal family. Not only did they inherit the title of duke, they also handed over the responsibility of commanding the imperial army to the Yuchi family in accordance with tradition.

Therefore, Yu Chipeng was transferred from the north to the south of the Yangtze River early because no matter how generous the emperor was, he would not allow a family to be both the commander of the imperial army and the general of a major border army!

At this time, Yuchi's mansion was covered with white silk ribbons. It was obviously the stage of his adultery. His guess was indeed correct. The old lady of the Yuchi family had been murdered.

This makes Chen Qing more eager to become stronger. Even the family members of the Duke's family can be killed. This shows how dangerous this world is...

"Master Chen is here?"

While he was sighing, a familiar voice came. Chen Qing looked up and was stunned.

It was an acquaintance, it was Wei Gongcheng who was taken advantage of by him in Liuzhou. At this time, the other person's condition seemed to be very bad. He was sitting in a wheelchair and had to be pushed by people behind him to walk.

"General Wei's injury has not healed yet?" Chen Qing stepped forward and asked with concern.

He had seen the unconscious Wei Gongcheng before, but he didn't seem to have much trauma. Why did he look like he was in a wheelchair?

"I..." Wei Gongcheng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The secret technique of suspended animation is extremely harmful to the spine. The doctor has seen it and there is a high probability that it will not heal."

"Uh..." Chen Qing's expression froze, and a trace of guilt arose in her heart.

In fact, the other person was not bad, but when I used him to attract Mr. Painted Skin's accomplices, I didn't hesitate at all. I don't know if it was an illusion. I always felt that I was much colder-blooded than in my previous life...

"I didn't think carefully..."

"It's none of your business." Wei Gongcheng smiled and said, "I am also overconfident. If I could secretly communicate with General Yuchi, I wouldn't have been forced to use the secret technique of suspended animation..."

He said and looked inside: "Your Excellency, are you here to see the general? The general is observing mourning in the mourning hall. I will take you there."

Chen Qing nodded and followed him slowly into the mansion. But what surprised Chen Qing was that neither Wei Gongcheng nor the servant pushing the cart seemed to have any feeling at all about the black-clothed guard following Chen Qing. It's like you can't see him.

Even if he is a small guard, he is still sent from above, so he should be given some face, right?

In this way, the group of people walked all the way to the mourning hall. From a distance, Chen Qing saw Yu Chipeng kneeling inside.

"I'm giving my eulogy, please wait for a moment..." Wei Gongcheng said with a gentle smile.

Chen Qing nodded, and then looked curiously at the person next to Yu Chipeng, and was surprised to find that the person looked very similar to Wei Gongcheng!

Seeing Chen Qing looking at that person, Wei Gongcheng explained from the side: "That's the eldest brother Wei Gongyan. According to the rules, every generation of Tianpeng's legitimate son must be with a Wei family member. In my current situation, I can't follow the general. I can only Can the family send someone else..."

Chen Qing's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he lost his job.

I don't know if the other party is deliberately trying to make things worse, but Chen Qing always feels like his little conscience is being beaten repeatedly along the way.

"What are General Wei's plans for the future?"

"Me?" Wei Gongcheng was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said: "What else can I plan? The general is disabled, isn't it just to take care of his old age in advance?"

"Since we are retiring, General, why not go out for a walk to change your mood."

"Going out for a walk?" Wei Gongcheng was stunned again.

"Hmm..." Chen Qing said with a smile: "If the investigation goes well, according to Mr. Wang, I should go to Liuzhou to serve. Liuzhou has beautiful mountains and clear waters and is more suitable for recuperation than the capital. General, would you like to accompany me?"

As soon as these words came out, Wei Gongcheng was stunned for a long time without reacting. He waited for a long time before he looked at Chen Qing blankly and said word by word: "Master Chen, are you... recruiting me?"

The black-clothed guard next to him still had a blank look on his face, and wrote with a stiff pen and paper in his hand: Chen Qing, recruit Wei Gongcheng, the bastard of the Wei family...
