Chapter 176 Homecoming
Yanbo Prefecture Demon Slayer Office, in the meeting hall.
Han Zheng sat in the main seat, and on both sides were still two groups of people led by Pei Xiuyuan and Zhao Rongye.
When Han Zheng first came two days ago, everyone felt that the Kaiping Prefecture Demon Slayer Headquarters was joking, sending such a young Demon Slayer Captain to guard Yanbo Prefecture.
Regardless of what Pei Xiuyuan and Zhao Rongye thought, even the leaders of the Golden Pattern Team and other Xuanjia Guards felt that the above was sloppy.
Although Liao Hongsheng was also airborne, his qualifications were enough to overwhelm anyone in the Yanbo Prefecture Demon Slayer Office. He was in charge of a battalion at the Demon Slayer Office headquarters before.
Han Zheng was young, so what qualifications did he have?
As a result, it only took two days, and no one in the entire Yanbo Prefecture Demon Slayer Office dared to look down on Han Zheng.
He first killed the King of Jinling, then killed the Dragon King of Yanbo Prefecture, and went into Wulao Mountain alone, overthrowing the entire Red Flag Bandits.
It took two days to solve the two major disasters that plagued the shores of Yanbo Lake. The speed and efficiency were simply amazing.
This so-called prestige was earned through victory after victory.
At this time, even Pei Xiuyuan did not dare to treat Han Zheng with the same attitude as before.
Pei Xiuyuan's confidence before was his seniority in Yanbo Mansion. Once he had a conflict with Han Zheng, all the Xuanjia Guards of Yanbo Mansion would stand on his side.
Now after this great victory, Zhang Yan and others who followed Han Zheng to attack Wulao Mountain will definitely become his diehard fans.
Other team leaders and Xuanjia Guards also have to weigh the weight of Han Zheng and consider whether it is worth it to follow Pei Xiuyuan to confront this new captain who has both strength and prestige.
Pei Xiuyuan's advantage is no longer there, and he has to consider his attitude towards Han Zheng in the future.
Just as Zhao Rongye said, Han Zheng is their boss after all, and some things have to be acceptable on the surface.
Han Zheng sat in front of everyone with a big horse and a golden sword, looking around at everyone present.
Zhang Yan and others naturally held their heads high and were proud of it.
Zhao Jinhu and other loyal followers of Pei Xiuyuan frowned, but they were no longer as arrogant and tough as before.
As for the others, they were a little uneasy, not knowing how Han Zheng would treat them.
Knocking on the table, Han Zheng said in a deep voice: "Zhang Yan and other team leaders did a good job in destroying Wulao Mountain this time.
I will report to the Kaiping Prefecture headquarters later. Except for the credit for capturing Li Tianbao, the rest of the credit will be divided equally among everyone.
And the materials seized from Wulao Mountain, 50% will be given to the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Division, and the other 50% will be divided into two parts.
One part will be left in the Demon Slayer Division of Yanbo Prefecture as everyone's expenses, which will be regarded as a gift from Han Zheng to everyone when he first arrived.
The other part will be left for the brothers who participated in the mission yesterday. Everyone will share it equally, and they will have more money on hand.
I wonder if you have any objections to my distribution?"
As soon as these words came out, except for a few people like Pei Xiuyuan, everyone showed ecstasy.
Zhang Yan said quickly: "Of course I have no objection! Thank you for your support!"
Others also stood up and said: "Since you are so generous, we have no objection!"
"I am willing to go through fire and water for you, Lord Han!"
It's no wonder these people were excited, it was really Han Zheng who was too generous.
Han Zheng was generous to Zhang Yan before.
So this time they didn't think Han Zheng would be as generous as he was to Zhang Yan.
Who would have thought that when the benefits were finally distributed, Han Zheng actually gave them a surprise.
In terms of merit, Han Zheng's credit for capturing Li Tianbao is naturally needless to say.
They didn't even see Li Tianbao's face, and Han Zheng completely solved the problem.
As for other merits, it is normal for Han Zheng to take the lion's share, because it was Han Zheng who went undercover in Wulao Mountain alone and destroyed the Red Flag Bandits from the inside out.
As for them, they didn't actually contribute too much, at most they were beaten up.
The result is that they can get so many merits for such a task without much effort, which can no longer be described as generous.
They are even willing to call him godfather.
And the stolen goods seized from Wulao Mountain.
These things should be given to the headquarters half, but most of the demon-killing offices will intercept some.
Han Zheng is selfless, it is normal to give half to the headquarters, and it is also normal to give the rest to Zhang Yan and other people who have contributed.
But he is willing to share it with those Xuanjia guards in the headquarters who are hostile to Han Zheng and do not choose to help him, which is a bit surprising.
This Lord Han seems to have a broader mind than they imagined.
Those Xuanjia guards who were still uneasy in their hearts and didn't know how to deal with this Lord Han were also slightly moved at this time.
Their attitude towards this Lord Han was not good, but Lord Han was willing to share some of the benefits with them after he led his men to break through Wulao Mountain, which can be said to be repaying evil with virtue.
Now, except for Zhao Jinhu, who is a die-hard fan of Pei Xiuyuan, everyone else has already leaned towards Han Zheng in their hearts.
Carrot and stick have always been the best means to win over subordinates.
The Xuanjia Guards in Yanbo Mansion are quite lucky, because Han Zheng's stick did not hit them on the head, but hit the heads of the two demons and the red flag bandits, beating them to a bloody pulp.
Seeing the faces of everyone present, Pei Xiuyuan's heart sank to the bottom.
Now it seems that his previous thoughts of competing with Han Zheng for power and profit are simply a joke, and it also makes him look petty.
Han Zheng didn't even bother to answer him. He was like a sharp knife, and he opened up the current situation in Yanbo Mansion with ease.
If Pei Xiuyuan continued to think about competing for power with Han Zheng, he would be courting death.
The right time, right place, and right people, no one was on his side.
Just when Pei Xiuyuan was thinking about it, Han Zheng said in a deep voice: "You should all know that the most important task for me to take over Yanbo Mansion is to investigate the cause of death of Lord Liao.
Because the death of the Demon-Slaying Captain in Yanbo Mansion was unclear, the Demon-Slaying Division must give an explanation for this matter, and Lord Liao's spirit in heaven also needs an explanation.
These two days, I solved the two demons and the Red Flag Bandits, and roughly pieced together some of the truth about the cause of Lord Liao's death.
Someone plotted against Lord Liao, first He instigated the Dragon King of Yanbo Lake to fight Lord Liao to death, but because Lord Liao was powerful, the crocodile and Lord Liao were both injured and had to flee.
At the same time, the man sent a message to the Red Flag Thief Li Tianbao, leading Li Tianbao to kill Lord Liao.
This man set up two traps for Lord Liao, wanting to kill him.
However, Li Tianbao failed to kill Lord Liao in the end, but the clues were also cut off here.
The situation in Yanbo Mansion was complicated, and there were countless people who wanted Lord Liao to die.
Apart from demons and bandits, there are only the sects and families left.
Now you can speak freely, among the surrounding Jianghu forces, which family wants to kill Lord Liao? "
A gold pattern team leader stood up and said: "Lord Han, I have been in Yanbo Mansion for nearly 20 years, and I even watched some of the sects and families rise with my own eyes.
If they have a grudge against Lord Liao, it is certain, but my Yanbo Mansion Demon-Slaying Division is just as hostile to them.
Even when Guiyuan Sword Pavilion was here, Lord Liao had fought with them more than once.
If they wanted to kill Lord Liao, then Guiyuan Sword Pavilion has more reasons than them.
So at the beginning, we did not put the first suspect on those sects, but initially determined that it was the work of demons. "
The gold pattern team leader is named Wu Tianfang, who is in his early 50s this year and was one of the team leaders who followed Han Zheng to attack Wulao Mountain.
Seeing Han Zheng's generosity, he has completely returned to his heart and regarded himself as a member of Han Zheng's line.
Wu Tianfang's words were also from the bottom of his heart. He really couldn't imagine why these sects wanted to kill Liao Hongsheng.
The aristocratic sects are not those cruel demons, nor are they the red flag bandits that the Demon Slayer Department must eliminate.
Although one of the duties of the Demon Slayer Department is to suppress these Jianghu forces, it is only suppression, not to fight to the death.
As long as they don't do things like Guiyuan Sword Pavilion that violate the bottom line of the Demon Slayer Department, the Demon Slayer Department will not kill them all.
The same is true for these aristocratic sects. Unless there is a huge conflict, they will not risk killing people from the Demon Slayer Department, let alone the Demon Slayer Captain who guards a state capital.
