Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 207: Watch His Actions and Guess His Intentions

Jizhou City, Sancha Street, Qionghua Tower.

"Is the news confirmed?"

"Yes, Lord Bai, the news has been confirmed. Yang Qian killed two evil monks and their bodies have been transported back. After identification, they are the two from Yong'an City."

Bang! A slap hit the table, causing the cups and plates on the table to shake.

"Humph! Zhu Mao came up with a good idea!"

"Master Bai is right. Zhu Mao was indeed careless in this matter. He did not fully understand Yang Qian's strength and hurriedly sent Yang Qian to Yong'an City, sending two evil monks to their deaths.

There was not even the slightest preparation for any emergency situations before or after the incident.

It’s really inappropriate!
In this case, Master Bai, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to explain to the prince."

There were two people sitting at the table. There was no singing girl to accompany them today, and they even poured the wine themselves, just to have some peace and quiet.

The left and right sides of this wing are empty and no one is allowed to enter. There are guards guarding outside the door, which can be said to be grand and strict.

With such a grand display, it is certainly not the work of an ordinary person.

The man sitting facing the door was wearing a dark green scholar's robe, had a long beard, and a full face. Although he was old, estimated to be in his early fifties, he did not have many white hairs, and his eyes were bright, giving people a sense of majesty without even being angry.

This person is Bai Yuan, the left official of Jizhou Prefecture.

Sitting on Bai Yuan's left was a man who was also wearing a scholar's robe, had a long beard, and had gray hair. He looked much older than Bai Yuan, probably in his sixties.

The old man's surname was Zhang, and his given name was Ziqing. He was the left official of the City Household Department of Jizhou Prefecture.

Although the two bodies brought back by Yang Qian were confidential in the case file, they were placed in the charity hall behind the police station after they were brought back, and the news about them was blocked.

But there is no impenetrable wall in the government office. In just two days, the news that Yang Qian killed two evil monks was known by those who were well-informed. Zhang Ziqing was one of them. So he immediately found an opportunity to report the matter to Bai Yuan.

Firstly, he wanted to flatter and show off. After all, Bai Yuan was his immediate superior. Secondly, this matter was a good opportunity to report to the arrogant Zhu Mao.

In Zhang Ziqing's eyes, Bai Yuan was more than just a superior. Bai Yuan was also one of the officials in charge of the Jizhou Prefecture City that Yue Wang had planted. He was in charge of not only rewards but also punishments.

Zhang Ziqing was so happy that he lost his mind when he thought that Zhu Mao had made a serious misjudgment this time, which led to the loss of two masters of Yue Wang. He was definitely accused of "acting recklessly". He still remembered that Zhu Mao had called him a waste in front of so many people.

Bai Yuan snorted coldly and drank the wine in the glass in front of him in one gulp, still unable to suppress the anger in his heart. His eyes widened.

"Explain? If anyone wants to explain, it's not me who should do it.

The person who said that Yang Qian's strength was not that of an ordinary minor immortal master was Zhu Mao. The person who found someone to further test him was also Zhu Mao. Finally, Zhu Mao found someone to carry out the test.

Even in order to transfer Yang Qian out of the city, all the key connections were coordinated by Zhu Mao.

Now that something has gone wrong, you want me to explain it? Tsk, there is no such thing as a cheap thing in the world!
Zhu Mao had to explain this matter to the prince himself.

The prince may not care about the two evil monks, but the two heads fell into Liu Chuan's hands, which is unacceptable to the prince. Even if Zhu Mao can withstand the prince's wrath this time, he will still suffer a loss. "

"It would be great if Lord Bai could avoid being implicated by Zhu Mao!" Zhang Ziqing said with concern, while picking up the wine pot and filling Bai Yuan's glass.

"Zhu Mao is a reckless person who moves fast, but once he encounters a big obstacle, he will easily fall and get bruised. This time, he took care of all the matters concerning Yang Qian, betting on his own first achievement and the relationship with Yang Qian in the future.

Now that I lost the bet, I can’t blame anyone else.

You, on the other hand, should have met Yang Qian in the government office, right? What kind of person is he? He must have come back with two bodies to report to Liu Chuan. Do you think he will side with Liu Chuan, or sit on the fence? Or is he likely to continue to side with us?"

Zhu Mao is in trouble this time. He will probably have to live with his tail between his legs for a long time from now on.

Therefore, Bai Yuan had to take over this matter himself. He had to have a clear judgment about Yang Qian.

Should we continue to win them over, or suppress them as soon as possible?

Zhang Ziqing said solemnly, "Mr. Bai, Yang Qian is different from the previous chiefs of the Patrol Office. He has been in the Patrol Office for more than a month, and except for being forced to go to Yong'an City this time, he can be said to have done nothing. He has not even replenished the staff of the Patrol Office yet. Counting the one person who died this time, there are only five people left in the huge Patrol Office.

Such people are either just in name only, or they are secretly planning something."

"What do you think? Is it just a false reputation or a covert operation?" Bai Yuan asked, thinking to himself that the dead man was also his man, a spy, who had been arranged by Xiao Yun before. He just didn't expect that he would die in vain at this critical moment.

"Master Bai, I think both are possible, but the latter is more likely."

Bai Yuan frowned, raised his chin, and motioned Zhang Ziqing to continue.

"Sir, although I don't know much about Yang Qian, I have been thinking about Liu Chuan for many years. Yang Qian was hired by Liu Chuan, so he can't be a fool with a false reputation. The previous chief officers of the Patrol Office were all like this.

Therefore, Yang Qian ignored the patrol department and wandered around all day, which must be due to other plans, and even Liu Chuan's tacit approval. Who knows, he might be doing something in secret.

As for the previous contact with Zhu Mao, including the collection of several spirit stones from Zhu Mao, these may have been mists deliberately created by Yang Qian to paralyze us and delay time.

This time when the corpses are transported back, with the lives of these two evil monks at stake, Liu Chuan will certainly rely more on Yang Qian and will inevitably promise him huge profits.

We want to simply rely on some external benefits to pull Yang Qian over, but the chances are slim.

Therefore, I think we can try other means. We need to give Yang Qian some sense of urgency and not let him move around as easily as he does now."

After listening to Zhang Ziqing's words, Bai Yuan nodded secretly. This is why he pulled Zhang Ziqing into his circle in the government office: Zhang Ziqing's brain is very active.

An old man with a quick mind but a humble background and a bleak future wanted to make further progress or leave some blessings for his descendants. This was why Zhang Ziqing actively approached him.

"In your opinion, how should we give Yang Qian a sense of urgency? You know, he is not only a junior immortal master, but now it seems that he may also be a formal disciple of the Five Thunder Palace. He is strong enough to fight two evil monks alone. It is not easy to give him a sense of urgency."

"Sir, it's true that Yang Qian is very powerful. But he is not alone. The sense of urgency does not have to be given to him directly. It can also be passed on to him through other people. The effect may even be better than giving it to him directly."
