Chapter 61 The Busy Ministry

Pingyang County.

"Captain Xu is worthy of being a man from above. I, Wang Erhu, admire him." In the only restaurant in the county, Xu Qingyang was entertaining the county constables.

"To be honest with you, I'm here on official business and will not stay in Pingyang County for too long. I have to wipe out the banditry here. I wonder if you can help me?" Before Xu Qingyang came, he already knew the general situation of this county.

The horse bandits are just a minor trouble. There is a Shanhu Stronghold on Hutou Mountain outside the city. The creditor, Zhang Hu, is a fifth-rank master with more than a thousand followers under his command. The stronghold is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is the biggest target this time. There is also Erwang Mountain, where four strongholds are used for robbery and looting, and each of them has a fourth-rank master.

It looks a bit miserable, but this is the reality. In Joy of Life, the forces in the underworld have a very miserable life.

"Of course we are willing to help Brother Xu." The detectives sneered in their hearts, thinking that just by killing a fourth-rank official, the stronghold would be so easy to break.

"Brother Xu, it's hard to say too much when there are so many people around. I heard that there is a stronghold outside the city, which is privately maintained by several major families in the city. Be careful. Brothers may not be able to help much."

"Understood." Xu Qingyang watched Wang Erhu leave, then he walked away in an instant and reappeared in a small courtyard. This was Wang Erhu's home. He never believed in becoming close friends at first sight.

He is the new member who has just joined the commander's team and is considered one of the best. His outstanding feature is his excellent lightness skill.

Seeing a white dove flying out of the yard, his hands trembled. Although his true Qi was only at the fourth level, his eighth-level horizontal training force made him more powerful in everything he did.

Looking at the letter, Wang Erhu was from the Supervisory Council. This time he came to report his arrival. After reading it, he turned around and left.

……

Two days later.

"Haha, Xu Qingyang, you are so careless that you fell into our trap." At the back mountain of Shanhu Village, Xu Qingyang's face was calm. He did not look at his companions who were ashamed. The other party said that there was a secret passage in the back mountain, and he wanted to enter the village and kill the leader.

The fellow constable had mixed feelings. He didn't want to do it either, but the chief clerk hinted at it, and he didn't think highly of this arrogant fourth-rank constable.

However, he was immediately stunned. Xu Qingyang suddenly flew up and threw the long knife in his hand directly at Zhang Hu. Zhang Hu had no time to block it. He said intermittently that if you are not a fourth-grade queen, you will die in the northwest.

At the same time, sounds of fighting were heard from the back mountain.

"Haha, Brother Qingyang, I'm here for you." A bold voice sounded, and a big man in tattered clothes, leading hundreds of people, killed hundreds of bandits and made them flee in disarray.

"Thank you, Brother Tieniu."

This was a good friend of his eldest brother. This time he joined the commander-in-chief's army. The other party had told him to find him if he had anything to do. Therefore, when choosing a place, he went to Pingyang Prefecture where the other party was stationed. They had been in contact before coming, so this was a way to lure the snake out of its hole.

"You and I are brothers, there is no need to do this. I can't stay here for too long. You go and sweep around first." Tie Niu said.

He is also a beneficiary of the body-building method, so he naturally knows how strong the opponent is. This kind of mutual help is within the rules of the main general.

Xu Qingyang is a bronze medal captain, so he can take this opportunity to bring the younger generation of the family under his command. The commander said that they, the veterans, recommended that they could start as constables, but how could they feel safe under the command of Xu Qingyang, an eighth-rank master?

They are absolutely loyal to Shen Qingzhou, but they also hope that their own people or people they can trust can become stronger so as to protect their family.

The people he brought with him were not soldiers. After he became a lieutenant, he became a wealthy man in the local area. He had many people to win over or join him, and he brought them all to help Xu Qingyang. County government office.

"County Magistrate Wang, your crime has been exposed. This is the letter between you and Zhang Hu, following the order of the Six Gates' Divine Marquis. You can deal with the bandits as you see fit and escort them to the city for trial." Tie Niu came here for a reason, and this was the reason.

Qingyang Tower in Pingyang County was just renamed today. This is where Master Xu Qingyang of the Six Gates is stationed these days.

Xu Qingyang had been in the county town for only a week. He defeated the horse bandits, swept the mountain strongholds, and killed people in a bloody manner, but he also brought the long-lost peace. The mountain strongholds were never a good place to live.

The county magistrate's chief clerk has also been detained and will be tried soon, and illegal information is being collected. The county magistrate is a local tyrant, and everyone is pushing him down when he falls. He has countless crimes.

This is the eighth-grade martial power, and he is considered a master in the whole world. It is natural for him to wipe out the county.

Wang Erhu stood on the upper floor, looking at the smiling faces of the people on the street. Although he didn't know whether the next county magistrate would also be a bastard, he was happy at the moment.

"Brother Xu, I am not as good as you."

Xu Qingyang was naturally unaware of this. He was traveling around, killing bandits and clearing out mountain strongholds, and more and more people were following him.

An eighth-rank master has too many resources at his disposal. No one was aware of this at the beginning, but as more and more strongholds were razed, there was never a shortage of investors.

Kyoto.

"Xu Qingyang, you have swept through the twenty-seven bandit camps in eight counties. Your speed is not bad. I order you to promote him to the Silver Medal Captain. He will be in charge of all those below the Silver Medal in Pingyang Prefecture."

Xu Qingyang fought to the death, but to Shen Qingzhou, it was just a matter of a word. It was supposed to be that way. It was normal for an eighth-grade to crush a mountain stronghold.

During this period, there were also many cases of collusion between officials and gangs. Those caught were either sent to prison or killed on the spot. Shen Qingzhou did not give face to those who colluded with gangsters and acted in an advantageous manner. I think the Ministry of Personnel should be in trouble.

The Ministry of Personnel is so busy that it's suffocating. This month, the workload of the Ministry of Personnel has increased greatly. It has almost formed a mutually stationed relationship with the Guangxi Office, the department that calls itself the Six Gates. Every day, people from the Six Gates run to the Ministry of Personnel, and they all want to hide.

The Ministry of Personnel knew that Marquis Shenwu was going to eliminate the bandits. Even if he could not succeed in the end, there must be some effect. The Ministry of Personnel had guessed that there was collusion between officials and bandits, so they would definitely transfer new officials.

But I didn't expect it to happen so soon. From the time I knew about this until now, I have attended three court meetings. The first time was fine because the news was not transmitted back in time.

The second court meeting felt a bit troublesome. The third time, many officials had already been rotated. The fourth time, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was planning to report Shen Qingzhou.

Some things were gradually reported back to Kyoto, but apart from Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping, everyone only knew that Marquis Shenwu had wiped out many bandit camps, and the specific circumstances still needed to be further investigated.

Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping were a little surprised. Where did Shen Qingzhou find these tough guys? Each and every one of them was a sixth-rank master. The main reason was that they hadn't encountered a seventh-rank one yet, or they were killed quickly, so the Supervisory Office did not collect enough information.

Since sending these people out, Shen Qingzhou had no intention of hiding. Under the Grandmaster, he had nothing to fear. The reason why he was not able to do whatever he wanted now was entirely due to the pressure from the Grandmaster. He didn't believe that these dozens of apparently sixth or seventh-rank masters could scare the Grandmaster Emperor Qing. It was impossible.

On this day, Shen Qingzhou came to the Fan Mansion across the street with several boxes of gifts. He came to see Liu Ruyu.
