Chapter 702 Different

Coming out of Jiang Cheng's office, Shen Hao went to the commander's office with the warrant he just got while thinking.

It is a good thing to be promoted, and it is still a promotion to a fifth-rank real position. Combined with his early thirties, this means that once Shen Hao takes the fifth-rank real position, his official career will continue to expand in the future, and it will not end there.

To be honest, this was smoother than Shen Hao expected. They originally thought that their promotion would only be possible after the war in the south was over, and the so-called big action of commanding the yamen would be possible, but now it was a step faster.

But there is still pressure, after all, according to Jiang Cheng, he will be in charge of all the black flag battalions in the entire Jingxi territory, which is much bigger than the one he has now.

If it was in another yamen, it might be very troublesome to manage such a big mess all at once. Without some experience and time to digest it, I really can't handle it. But it's not too difficult after Xuan Qingwei actually mastered the most fundamental skills.

What is the most fundamental point of being an official in Xuanqingwei? From Shen Hao's understanding, it's just two words: reward and punishment.

As long as the two words of reward and punishment are played well, it can basically be guaranteed that they will not be played off. Coupled with some means to the point, the newly added manpower can be smoothed out in a short time. And if the hands are smoothed out, the relative things will be able to unfold smoothly.

What if there are thorns in the people below? Just kill it. This is the point that Shen Hao likes the most about the Xuanqingwei system, but at the same time he is always vigilant.

Xuan Qingwei's brutality and cruelty are not only external, but also internal. If someone really dared to find fault with him openly and secretly, then Shen Hao never knew what it means to be soft when killing people.

In addition, Shen Hao's main thinking is the development behind. After leading the entire Black Flag Camp in Jingxi, he will have to show achievements and changes. If there are no bright things, he will not be able to do the job.

After thinking all the way, he arrived at the commander's office, handed over his warrant, and then waited in the tea room. As usual, as soon as Shen Hao sat down, there was no sound of gossiping and chatting in the waiter. An evil spirit that seems to pierce your skin seems to linger in the whole tea room, making people have to sigh: Mr. Shen just came back from the front line, right? The evil spirit seems to be stronger than before!

It took about two sticks of incense before the formalities were completed. After receiving the receipt, Shen Hao left the waiter and went to the library of the Commander's Yamen.

The largest and most complete library in Xuanqingwei is here, especially the things about magic arts are also the most complete here.

After asking the deacon of the library, Shen Hao went up to a corner on the third floor, where there was a special place for essays and classics related to soul-like spells.

Coincidentally, Shen Hao saw a familiar figure here: Li Qing, the adjutant of the Department of Major Cases.

Shen Hao was not interested in greeting someone who obviously didn't want to see him, so he treated the other party as air, and began to look for information that might record the methods in the case from the bookshelves on both sides.

According to Shen Hao's guess, hiding the killing technique in the book is definitely not just a means of soul, it must be some kind of insidious killing move mixed with other techniques. Because he himself can even use soul power, a method that ordinary monks have never even heard of, and the strength of his soul far exceeds that of monks of the same realm, but he also has no way to integrate the power of soul into an ordinary book, and even more so. Not to mention being so secretive.

Therefore, the content that Shen Hao consulted were basically essays related to soul-like spells but not purely soul-based methods.

Focus on essays. Because Shen Hao didn't think that this kind of weird method would be recorded in the classics, and it was more likely to be recorded in the essays as "gossip".

Shen Hao was busy checking things, but Li Qing, who was treated as air by him, had a lot of inner drama. The main reason is that Shen Hao found that almost all of them were essays, so he laughed in his heart. Could it be that Shen Hao didn't even know the difference between essays and classics? Put aside the classics that can be used as empirical evidence, and look for the contents of those unreliable essays?

Besides, it's clearly determined to be a soul-type magic method, why go to see those mixed content? Isn't this a waste of time?

"Master Shen, in fact, you don't need to come here. Master Xue has already sent me to find out the root of the magic technique that appeared in the case. You can rest and rest." Li Qing felt that Shen Hao was wasting time doing nothing. Meaningful things, after holding back for a long time, I still couldn't help but speak, and there was obviously some contempt in the words.

Shen Hao raised his head and glanced at Li Qing, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He was very curious. He even found out the clues of the case. The entire Department of Criminal Affairs is now picking up food after him. Where is Li Qing? Come to the sense of superiority?

"Shut up, or I'll throw you out."

"you"

Shen Hao's current breath oppression is beyond Li Qing's ability to bear. If it wasn't for not wanting to "intervene" in the actions of the chief case officer, Shen Hao would have thrown a soul power cover over at Li Qing's words just now, and then thrown this self-righteous woman from her. The windows on the third floor flung out. Now it's a great way to save face by suppressing the opponent's breath.

Li Qing's experience is different. In the past, Shen Hao gave her the impression of a smiling tiger with sharp eyes, but now she feels that beside her is a poisonous snake baring its fangs and spitting out a letter, who may want her at any time. life. Especially the oppressive breath, which made it difficult for her to speak, as if a big stone was blocked in her throat.

The surname Shen is too much! How dare you be so rude!

She thought about getting stabbed, but she dismissed the idea in an instant, and told Li Qing rationally that she should not provoke the other party anymore, otherwise she would really die.

In the end, I yelled in my heart that this person surnamed Shen must die! Turning his head, he continued to look up the classics honestly and stopped looking at Shen Hao next to him.

From morning to afternoon, Shen Hao ate lunch in the canteen of the commander's office and continued, and he came out of the library when he was on business.

"Huh" took a long breath, it's been a long time since I read the documents for such a long time, and to be honest, I'm still a little tired.

But the harvest is not bad.

Just as Shen Hao thought, the method of casting soul spells to kill people in the form of words embedded in the book did not directly appear in any essays or classics. You can tell by the dull expression of Li Qing who has been flipping through the classics at the side.

However, although there was no direct record of this technique in the essays, Shen Hao found a barely reliable record. It is said that there used to be a genius talisman master in Ruoshui River Basin, not only proficient in all kinds of talisman inscriptions, but also forcibly integrating many simple spells into ordinary characters.

However, this talisman master died young, and his skills have not been passed down to others, only some fragmentary deeds have been circulated in a small area of ​​the cultivation world.
