Chapter 81 Wei Qianhu

The position of Qianhu, with an official rank of fifth rank, is the highest officer of the Exorcist Department in Yifu. It is usually held by monks in the fourth realm and above.

Qianhu Wei Jiusi, who is in charge of Qingzhou Mansion, is a fifth-level monk.

After all, Qingzhou Prefecture is the largest and most populous city in Jiaodong, and it is also a strategic town of the Daqi Dynasty.

In addition, it is adjacent to Yishan Mountain in the south, and the Nine Infant Snake Demon is sealed underground.

So we need a monk who is strong enough and able to take charge of the overall situation here.

Wei Jiusi came from a famous family and was deeply trusted by the emperor and his superiors because of his outstanding strength and ability in doing things.

At the same time, he is also deeply respected and loved by his subordinates because he lives a diligent and frugal life, is generous with money, takes the lead in battles, and cares about his subordinates in daily life.

Therefore, the officials of the Exorcism Department of Qingzhou Prefecture often talk about the words "Be like Wei Qianhu".

In their eyes, Wei Jiusi is a model figure who can "cultivate oneself, manage one's family and govern the country."

…………

“Let Qingzhou Qianhu Wei Jiusi come out to see me!”

At this moment, Chu Fengge stood at the Exorcism Department of Qingzhou Prefecture At the gate, he put his hands on his hips and gave gentle instructions to the gatekeeper.

Although he and Wei Jiusi were both fifth-rank officials and should be considered at the same level in theory, Chu Fengge relied on his status as a capital official and a close confidant of the chief minister, but he still behaved arrogantly. It was as if he was the master of this yamen.

Since Chu Fengge had just been to Qingzhou Mansion not long ago, and his extremely beautiful face was unforgettable, the gatekeeper quickly recognized his identity.

"I'm sorry, Master Chu," the Yamen servant bowed deeply to him, "Master Wei is receiving a big shot in the second hall of the Yamen and is unable to come out to see you for the time being. Please stay here with your entourage for a moment. Wait."

"A big shot? Bigger than me?"

Chu Fengge frowned slightly.

As the proud son of the Da Qi Dynasty, he hated the feeling of being left alone.

"Sorry, I can't reveal the identity of that big shot to you." The yamen officer sincerely apologized again.

Hearing this, Chu Fengge felt very unhappy.

However, although he is arrogant and sometimes slow-minded, he is not a real fool.

He knew that in the Da Qi Dynasty, there were indeed some big shots that he could not afford to offend.

So he said coldly: "Then please tell Wei Jiusi that I have something urgent here and want to see him as soon as possible."

"Yes, Lord Chu!" The yamen servant respectfully said Resign.

…………

At the same time.

Gu Xu stood in front of the bronze mirror at the gate of the Yamen, silently adjusting his clothes.

He straightened his hair and clothes that were messed up by the wind, and put on his headscarf again.

Then he took off the "Wind Talisman" attached to his chest and threw it into the wastebasket beside him.

Chen Jisheng often mentioned the name of Wei Jiusi from Qingzhou Prefecture to Gu Xu in the past - his attitude towards Wei Jiusi has always been full of respect, and he believed that Wei Jiusi was a true gentleman and a capable official.

“In the Daqi Dynasty, one of the people I admired the most was Lord Wei of Qingzhou,” Chen Jisheng once said, “You should know that from the eighth year of Tianxing to the eleventh year of Tianxing, Qingzhou Mansion There was a severe drought.

“But Mr. Wei personally took charge of the relief work, ate and lived with the people, and even helped the hungry victims out of his own pocket. If it hadn't been for Mr. Wei, the casualties would have been even more severe. "

Gu Xu and Wei Jiusi are not familiar with each other.

However, as Chen Jisheng's actual disciple, he does not want to embarrass Chen Jisheng in front of Wei Jiusi.

After a while.

He looked at the reflection in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

The young man in the bronze mirror was handsome and neatly dressed.

Although he only wore a simple blue shirt, it made him look more refined and refined, as if he were an immortal.

…………

Qianhu Wei Jiusibing in Qingzhou. He didn't keep the two waiting for too long.

After five minutes, he hurried over.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chu, for keeping you waiting," he said to Chu Fengge. He bowed his hands and said in an apologetic tone, "You said you have something important to discuss with me. ”

Although Wei Jiusi and Chu Fengge are both fifth-rank officials of the Exorcism Department, Wei Jiusi keeps his posture very low and his attitude is particularly humble and respectful.

Because Wei Jiusi knows very well , Chu Fengge, as a well-known genius in Daqi and a popular person next to the chief, will definitely become a senior executive of the Exorcism Department in the future, and may even become the next chief.

Treat this kind of person. , there is nothing wrong with being respectful.

“It’s not that I have something important,” Chu Fengge shook his head, then stepped aside and pointed at Gu Xu next to him, “It’s that he has something important. I want to discuss it with you. I'm just his bodyguard now. "

When he mentioned the word "bodyguard", Chu Fengge deliberately emphasized his tone, which sounded a bit strange.

But Wei Jiusi suddenly opened his eyes in surprise.

But he never expected that this young man in simple clothes would be the one who called the shots, and Chu Fengge would claim to be this young man’s bodyguard!

What kind of thing does this young man have? His identity allowed the Exorcism Department to send a genius like Chu Fengge to escort him?

I’m afraid even the disciples of the three great clans don’t have this kind of treatment, right?

Wei Jiusi! Take a deep breath and try to stay calm

Then he leaves.When he came to Gu Xu, he raised his hands in salute and said, "May I ask the name of this young master?"

"Gu Xu has been in the Exorcist Department of Yishui, Xiaguan, and has met Mr. Wei!" Gu Xu immediately returned the salute with his hands in hand. .

"Gu Xu..."

Wei Jiusi read the name silently.

Because he often paid attention to the court newspaper, he quickly remembered that this name belonged to a talented young man from Yishui County - he had a spiritual talent no less than Chu Fengge, and he was still in Jin Dynasty. During the job assessment, he was favored by the chief executive and received an exceptional promotion.

However, even if Gu Xu was a rare spiritual genius, he would not let Chu Fengge be his bodyguard.

Is it possible that he has other hidden identities?

For example, the emperor’s illegitimate son?

Or the illegitimate son of the Chief Secretary?

......

As a veteran of official circles, Wei Jiusi's way of thinking about problems is often more complicated than ordinary people, and many guesses suddenly pop up in his mind.

While he was silent, Gu Xu spoke again: "Master Wei, I came to Qingzhou Mansion this time on the orders of the Chief Secretary to solve the case of Lu's murderous house. "

Wei Jiusi was once again surprised when he heard the words "Lu's Haunted House".

Because in his perception, Gu Xu is just a second-level monk.

Before this, many monks in the third and fourth realms were attracted here by the merit rewards, trying to solve this big case, but in the end they were unsuccessful.

Gu Xu only has the second level of cultivation. Who gave him the courage to challenge this difficulty?

Does he really have some unknown cards?

Wei Jiusi was puzzled.

"Master Wei, take us to the Lu family's haunted house quickly! We don't want to waste any more time!" At this time, Chu Fengge said again.

Looking at his expression, he was obviously impatient with Wei Jiusi's hesitant attitude.

…………

At the same time.

At the gate of the Qingzhou Exorcism Department.

A young man in his thirties and a gray-haired old man followed the corridor, bypassed the screen wall, and came to the gate of the Yamen.

Although they were only wearing coarse shirts and no gold or silver on their bodies, they all looked energetic and extraordinary.

"Uncle Fan, let's go to Yishan tomorrow to deal with the snow girl!" The young man smiled slightly and said to the old man beside him.

"Your Highness, actually we don't have to be in such a hurry..." the old man frowned and persuaded respectfully.

“Strike first and control others later,” the young man said firmly, holding the sword at his waist. “In addition, please don’t call me ‘Your Highness’ in front of outsiders. I still I don’t want to reveal my identity.”

“Okay, Master.”
