Chapter 117 (Edited) There Are Many Monsters in the Northern Region.

Ji Chen got promoted.

His achievements in Qinghe County have been counted.

Flag officer, rank eight, affiliated to the town black flag.

Monthly salary, fifteen taels.

Although the position was only promoted by one level, the rank jumped two levels, from rank nine to rank eight, which was beyond Ji Chen's expectation.

Generally, flag officers start from rank eight, and will be promoted to rank eight after they have enough qualifications or have made great contributions. And he jumped directly to rank eight right after he got promoted, which is a bit abnormal.

Ji Chen always believes in this sentence, the more you are given, the more you have to spit out when you need to pay.

In addition to the promotion of official position, there are also a series of rewards, including 3,000 contribution points. 3,000 taels of silver. One ingot of star steel, one silver yuan pill. One opportunity to enter the arsenal.

Especially the silver yuan pill, which is a kind of elixir made from the inner elixir of monsters. It is specially made by the pharmacists in the demon-suppression department. It can be directly refined and absorbed. One pill can be used for one month of practice.

Under the leadership of Xie Anbing, Ji Chen received all the items.

New official uniforms, two sets of black brocade uniforms, black fabric, white lining, red collar and cuffs turned outward, with auspicious clouds embroidery.

The official uniforms are no longer pure black, with some simple embroidery, the embroidery is also auspicious cloud pattern, and there is a small bronze flag on the left chest.

The bronze flag represents the status of the flag officer.

"The pacification envoy wants to see you!" Xie Anbing said.

Ji Chen was a little surprised, "The pacification envoy wants to see me, when?"

"Now!"

"Uh... OK! I have to trouble you to lead the way!"

After coming to Liangzhou City for so long, Ji Chen is not very familiar with the Demon Suppression Division.

Xie Anbing led the way in front, and Ji Chen followed behind.

The Demon Suppression Division occupies a very large area. Among all the buildings in Liangzhou City, the Demon Suppression Division is the most extensive, except for the academy.

This is just the surface building. There are several layers of sky prisons under the Demon Suppression Division, which is called hell, and some big demons are imprisoned in it.

The building height of the Demon Suppression Division is second only to the Academy.

"General Xie, can you tell me why the pacification envoy is looking for me?"

Ji Chen was suspicious. Logically, he had not yet reached the qualification to meet the pacification envoy.

"Maybe it's because of the matter of the Divine Fire Sect. This is my guess. I don't know the details. I will know when I meet the pacification envoy."

The two passed through layers of courtyards and corridors and finally came to the place where the pacification envoy was.

This is a large but quiet courtyard with artificial rockery and water diversion to create a lake. There are schools of fish and cranes swimming in the lake.

When they came to a door, Xie Anbing reached out and knocked on the door.

"My lord, Ji Chen is here!"

"Come in!"

A peaceful voice came from inside.

Xie Anbing pushed open the door and went in first, followed by Ji Chen.

This is a study room with simple furnishings. In addition to a desk, there is a bookshelf. There are only a few books on the bookshelf.

A middle-aged man sat on a chair, holding a file in his hand and reading it.

This person is Xu Yuanzhen, the Northern Pacification Commissioner of Liangzhou Prefecture, and the person in charge of the Demon Suppression Department of Liangzhou Prefecture.

All forces in Liangzhou Prefecture are under his jurisdiction. From the establishment of a sect to the establishment of a Taoist temple, his approval is required. Otherwise, it is an illegal establishment, and the Demon Suppression Department will come to the door the next day and directly wipe it out.

Ji Chen's eyes fell on the file in Xu Yuanzhen's hand, and he recognized at a glance that it was the report file he wrote, which was about the details of the Qinghe County case.

He had implicitly expressed in the file that there was a problem with the Demon Suppression Department of Liangzhou Prefecture.

Xie Anbing bowed his hands and saluted, "Sir, Ji Chen is here!"

Ji Chen also bowed his hands and saluted, "Your subordinate has seen the Pacification Commissioner."

Daxia stipulates that ordinary people and above do not need to kneel when meeting officials, and noble people do not need to kneel when meeting the Holy Emperor.

Ji is not only an ordinary person, but also a scholar, so naturally he does not need to kneel.

Xu Yuanzhen put down the file in his hand and looked up at Ji Chen. At this moment, Ji Chen felt his hair stand on end, as if he was being stared at by a great terror.

In just a moment, this feeling disappeared.

Ji Chen was shocked. He was indeed the first ruler of Liangzhou Prefecture. Just a glance was enough to make people collapse.

"Ji Chen, whose name is Beigui, has a congenital Taoist body and a Confucian and Taoist holy body. He uses his body to carry his words, which is rare in ancient and modern times. His handwriting is good and he has his own style. His poems are good and his writing is outstanding. It's a pity not to continue studying."

Xu Yuanzhen started with a series of praises, which made Ji Chen feel a little embarrassed.

"I haven't given up studying. I'm preparing for the spring exam two years later."

Xu Yuanzhen nodded, "If my demon-suppressing department can produce a champion, it will be a good story."

Ji Chen said politely, "Your Excellency is too optimistic about me. I don't dare to hope for the champion. It's a blessing to be on the list."

Xu Yuanzhen said, "Don't belittle yourself. People should have a courageous heart. The great road is like millions of people crossing a single bridge. If you don't have a courageous heart, you will fall under the bridge sooner or later."

"I will do my best to learn from you!"

Xu Yuanzhen nodded.

"Xiao Xie, you go back first. I have something to tell Ji Chen."

"I'm leaving!" Xie Anbing hurriedly clasped his fists and left, closing the door.

Xu Yuanzhen and Ji Chen were the only ones left in the study.

"What do you think of the Divine Fire Sect?" Xu Yuanzhen asked directly.

Ji Chen thought for a moment and replied, "Extremists, from the perspective of the great Dao, they are not wrong, they are just seeking the truth, everyone has the right, but their methods are too extreme. From the perspective of public morality, they should be killed, their morality is not tolerated by public opinion."

Xu Yuanzhen nodded, very satisfied with Ji Chen's answer.

"The people are the foundation. Shaking public opinion is shaking the foundation of the country."

As he said this, he took out a file from the bookshelf behind him and handed it to Ji Chen.

"There is a task. After thinking about it, I think you are the most suitable. Take a look at the file first."

Ji Chen took the file and began to look through it.

Xu Yuanzhen also explained: "North of Liangzhou City is the Northern Region."

"The Northern Region is a chaotic place with many monsters, demons, and bandits. It is rich in various mineral veins, rare iron ore, gold ore, and spiritual stone ore."

"There is a chaotic area near the Northern Region and where it connects with Daxia. It was originally the territory of Daxia, but because it is close to the Northern Region and is influenced by the Northern Region, the people are fierce and very chaotic."

"More than a decade ago, I supported a noble family there to suppress the chaos, and both the black and white worlds gave face. The head of the family, Mo Fanghuai, is the head of the Mo family on paper, but in fact he is the flag officer of my demon suppression department. He has two sons, both of whom are small flags of the demon suppression department."

"A few days ago, I received news that Mo Something happened in the Mo family. The head of the family, Mo Fanghuai, died suddenly. The Mo family fell into crisis and needed someone to deal with it. After thinking about it, I think you are the most suitable for this task. "

"I suspect that the Mo family's affairs are related to the Divine Fire Sect. You have fought with the Divine Fire Sect many times and have experience in this area."

"The main purpose of your visit this time is to find out the cause of Mo Fanghuai's death, or to abandon the Mo family and support a new family depending on the situation. My only requirement is that the supported family must be controlled by my Demon Suppression Division."

"Before you go, you can go to the armory and weapons depot first. If there is no urgent matter, leave immediately!"

"Your subordinate obeys your order!" Ji Chen walked out of Xu Yuanzhen's study with the file.

He finally knew why his rank was upgraded twice in a row. The more you give, the more you need to pay. It turns out that he is waiting here.

He has a hunch that this task seems to be intended to transfer him away from Liangzhou City.
