Cizhou Prefecture has six counties under its jurisdiction and is also the seat of Cizhou Xingyu Shitai.
According to the official system of Daliang, there is a clerk from Jingyesi who joins the army, and a clerk from Tiqi who is sentenced to thousands of households to garrison here.
The county captains in each county usually manage public security. If they really want to slay demons and catch ghosts, they still have to rely on Jingyesi and Tiqi.
There are practitioners in Jingyesi who serve the imperial court.
Tiqi is a demon-catching iron fist trained in the imperial court.
The two are enemies of each other, but at the same time they cooperate a lot.
Today, Shi Chibao of the Cizhou Tixing Qianhu Office sent his men to invite Liu Canjun from Jingyesi to discuss the matter together.
The yamen of Tixing Qianhu Office is not big. Most of it is underground. There are seven floors in total. They are suppressed by all kinds of demons and monsters. The yamen on the ground is low and low, and there is no sign of any prestige.
Shi Chibao is a sixth-grade Confucian disciple. He once worshiped under the Yuelu Mountain Gate. He is a pure emperor and is considered to be the most likely to reach the fifth grade in the Tiqi system. A new talent in cultivation.
He is short in stature and has a long beard. He likes to wear blue and plain clothes on weekdays. He looks like a middle-aged scholar, not at all like a cruel official who has the power of life and death.
Behind the main hall of Qianhusuo is a picture of the sea and the sun rising in the east. There is a plaque made of gloomy wood on the picture, with the four words "Day Patrol and Night Tour" written on it.
The hall is full of bookshelves, and there is a small area in the middle, where several Tiqi wearing unicorn uniforms are checking files and writing case files.
Dossier was placed on the heavy huanghuali desk. Next to Shi Chibao was a freshly poured Longjing cup. He took a sip of the sweet tea soup and pointed it at the Baihu official next to him who was signing documents. asked.
"Have you ever tortured the water monster you caught a few days ago?"
"The water monster in Chenjiazhuang is the seventh level of cultivation. He pretended to be a god and asked for boys and girls. We have sent people to capture him. The catch is a carp that practiced Buddhist methods and became a spirit. There was a broken sacred vessel in the body, which had penetrated the bones and soul. The day before yesterday, I received a letter from Jiankang and beheaded on the spot. After being tortured, the broken sacred vessel dissipated and returned to heaven and earth. I got a demon pill and some other bits and pieces, and they have all been put into the treasury."
Shi Chibao nodded.
"Li Baihu, please choose a few of the most useful ones among the small flag officials under your command and go to Yongning County in person. There are demons abducting children and refining magic weapons. It seems to be witchcraft." Please be careful on this trip and report to me as soon as possible if there are any changes."
The Baihu official surnamed Li stood up and saluted Shi Chibao with his fists in his hands before taking the order.
Tiqi was established in the early years of the Liang Dynasty. Emperor Taizu, who started his business at that time, had an extremely capable bodyguard under his command.
In view of the decline of humanity and the turmoil of the current situation, they were unified into a team dedicated to detecting all kinds of monsters and monsters, and were also responsible for spying on intelligence and gathering information.
After so many years of operation, Jiankang City has two divisions, the North and the South, and has set up prisons for thousands of households in various states to privately inspect various incidents in various prefectures and counties.
It can be regarded as the most capable and loyal force under Emperor Liang.
Shi Chibao's ancestors have worked in Tiqi for generations. He worked conscientiously in his post at Cizhou's Thousand Households of Punishment Office. Generally speaking, he did not let any big changes occur in the place under his control.
It’s just that there was something on Shi Chibao’s mind today that kept him from feeling happy.
The problem still lies in Guobei County and Shanyin County.
Early this morning, he received two transfer letters. The first was from the county magistrate of Shanyin County, and the other was from the magistrate of Guobei County.
The document from Guobei County is simple to say, it is a letter of merit from the county magistrate. The county magistrate said that under his governance, the number of ghosts and gods in the county has been greatly reduced, and they are probably all moved. Went outside.
Now the county can be said to be clean and clear. Except for a few old ghosts who are still stubbornly resisting, there are no other problems for the time being.
However, the county's ability is limited after all, so I asked Tiqi for help and came to the county to actually investigate and see if there were any other changes.
Shi Chibao regarded this document from Guobei County as nothing more than a fart.
The sixth grade of Confucianism has the art of watching the emperor's qi. From a close distance, one can observe the changes in the qi movement to defeat the enemy. From a distance, one can observe the changes in mountains, rivers, grass, trees and clouds to predict future changes.
The evil spirit in Guobei County is high in the sky and the color is dark and mysterious, which is a sign that the Yin energy has condensed and the ghosts are flourishing.
Guobei County probably happened to have a few old ghosts going out to visit relatives and friends, so the Guobei County Magistrate took credit for it.
Throughout the entire article, there is no mention of how many evil ghosts were killed or how many old ghosts were driven away. It is clearly confusing right and wrong.
Shi Chibao had long developed a pair of iron eyes in official correspondence, and he could see the problems here at a glance.
The other letter is from Shanyin County.
Shi Chibao had to take this letter seriously.
First of all, the Shanyin County Magistrate is not in the county. The letter is signed by the county magistrate, the chief registrar and the county captain.
This shows that the matter has reached the point where the three of them have to jointly report it. This must be a big deal.
The second is the special status of Shanyin County Lieutenant.
The captain of Shanyin County, surnamed Su, was born in the Su family of Duling.
Tiqi has always been under the management of the inner court. The new eunuch of the Royal Horse Supervisor is named Su. Shi Chibao has already caught the wind. It is estimated that this person will work for a few years and will be promoted to the Royal Horse Supervisor and Palm Seal Eunuch. Admiral Tiqi.
This Su County captain cannot afford to offend his own people.
If identity is just a prerequisite that he must pay attention to, then the new content makes him particularly concerned.
The treasury was robbed by a big demon, and words of rebellion suddenly appeared in the ancient temple in the county. A group of ghosts connected with the monsters to plot rebellion.
Shi Chibao’s first reaction was disbelief.
One thing here is outrageous enough, and it is absolutely impossible for three things to happen together.
But he couldn’t help but believe it.
Because there is something in thisEverything was a big deal that he couldn't ignore.
For this reason, he repeatedly looked at the situation in Shanyin County today and concluded that Shanyin County is still the same Shanyin County as before.
Either the secret was concealed by an expert, or someone in Shanyin County was up to something.
Shi Chibao now very much suspected that the new Su County captain was the one causing the trouble.
But the problem is that Su Xianwei cannot afford to offend him.
So Shi Chibao ordered his men to call in the leader of Jingyesi in Jiangzhou and command his minister Liu Yu to discuss the matter together.
If anything happens, let’s discuss it together.
Otherwise, Tiqi’s heavy lifting would be treated as a top priority, while Jingyesi’s heavy lifting would be regarded as the fart of some dandy from Shanyin County.
It’s just a joke.
Shi Chibao thought it was best for the two families to come together and adopt the same attitude.
"Reporting to Lord Qianhu, Commander Jingyesi Liu Yuliu has arrived."
A general banner from his subordinates was announced outside, and Shi Chibao straightened his clothes. , walked out the door to greet.
Tiqi's Ti Xing Qian Hu and Jing Yesi's command Qian Shi are enemies. They are both on the same level, and there is no reason to sit in the Yamen and let Liu Yu come to pay homage.
As soon as he left the yamen, Shi Chibao saw Jing Yesi, who had a bad look on his face.
