Imperial Demon Slayer Division

After the battle of the Xiao family, the demons in Jiangnan County seemed to be frightened, and Jiangnan County was able to stabilize for a while.

Huangfu Pavilion, the Minister of Household Affairs, also sent the new governor of Jiangnan County, Nangongshan.

This Nangong County Sheriff was the top pick in the ten-year examination a few years ago.

The ten-year examination was established after Emperor Qin ascended the throne to select a group of top talents.

In the Qin Dynasty, all those who felt that they were highly talented would give up the ordinary imperial examination system that takes place every three years, and instead pass the ten-year examination to become officials in the court.

Nangongshan entered the court at the same year as Gu Yan, but this scholar took charge of compiling the history of the country as soon as he entered the court, and was highly regarded by Emperor Qin.

Now, after several years of training in the imperial capital, he was immediately sent abroad and took the position of governor of Jiangnan County, the largest county in the world. It was clear that he was preparing for a promotion in the future.

On the first day that Nangong Shan came to Jiangnan County, he came to the Demon Slayer Division.

In the Demon Slaying Hall, Gu Yan sat on the first seat, looked at Nangong Mountain in front of him, and asked

"I don't know why Mr. Nangong came to my Demon Slayer Department."

Nangongshan bowed slightly to Gu Yan

"I came here today mainly for two things. The first thing is to express my gratitude to Mr. Gu. I want to thank Mr. Gu for removing Xia Kong, doing harm to the world, and for giving me the opportunity to take office.

The second thing is to borrow some manpower from Mr. Gu."

Hearing Nangong Shan's words, Gu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that the number one scholar would speak so directly.

Without any politeness, he stated the purpose directly and openly, which made Gu Yangao look at him.

Gu Yan picked up the tea cup and took a slow sip of tea before asking

"Getting rid of Xia Kong is an easy matter. Don't be polite, Mr. Nangong. As for borrowing people, I wonder what Mr. Nangong wants to do?"

Nangongshan stood up and said seriously

"Xia Kong has been the governor of Jiangnan County for many years, and there are countless gangsters in the county. If I want to implement the new decree, it will definitely be difficult, so I want to borrow some people from Mr. Gu to pull out all Xia Kong's gangsters."

Gu Yan understood what Xia Kong meant. He was just starting out, and if he wanted to gain a foothold in the largest county in the world, he must give the Jiangnan County officialdom a show of authority to scare the monkeys.

And these remnants of Xia Kong are just good chickens

Gu Yan nodded lightly and said calmly

"Master Nangong and I are both from Zhongzhou, so we can be considered from the same origin. Now that Master Nangong has spoken, I will definitely help you. I will ask Lin Xi to bring two hundred demon-slayers to assist Master Nangong in sweeping Jiangnan." County's chronic illness"

From the conversation, Gu Yan heard that Nangong Shan had some ambitions in his heart. Since he had this idea, Gu Yan was willing to help him.

If Jiangnan County gets better and better under Nangongshan's governance in the future, then Gu Yan will also have a share of the credit for this. If he messes up, it has nothing to do with Gu Yan. No matter what, Gu Yan will definitely make a profit.

He also arranged for Lin Xi to be by his side so that Gu Yan could know Nangongshan's intentions and ideas immediately and make some decisions.

When he heard that Gu Yan was willing to send people to him, Nangong Shan smiled slightly. After all, Gu Yan was the leader of the most violent organization in the Jiangnan County government. With his support, it would be much easier to do things in Jiangnan County.

"Thank you, Mr. Gu. When things are done, I will definitely entertain Mr. Gu at the best restaurant in the city."

"Don't!"

When Gu Yan heard Nangongshan's words, he subconsciously refused to speak out.

Remembering that every time he went to a restaurant in the past, he would meet some unscrupulous people who would mess with him or the people around him, which made Gu Yan a little scared about going to a restaurant to eat.

Looking at Nangongshan's puzzled gaze, Gu Yan showed an awkward smile and explained

"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Nangong, it's just that I have always been strict with myself and have never been greedy for pleasure."

As soon as Gu Yan said these words, the fledgling Master Nangong was immediately filled with admiration, and Gu Yan's image in his heart instantly became glorious and majestic.

Nangongshan bowed to Gu Yan and said in a tone of admiration

"Master Gu's nobility is definitely a role model for all officials in the world. Nangong is ashamed of himself."

After sending Nangongshan away, Gu Yan wanted to slap himself in the face.

You speak so noble of yourself, what if you are exposed later?

...

A month passed in the blink of an eye. Gu Yan was looking at the intelligence information on the desk and listening to Lin Xi's report.

Nangongshan is indeed very capable. Not only did he uncover all the remnants of Xia Kong, he also cleared most of the unjust cases and old cases that had been accumulated in the county magistrate's office for many years.

Gu Yan, who was looking through the information, suddenly stopped flipping through the book and frowned at the information recorded on this page.

In the east of Jiangnan County, in a county close to Jiangning County, three villages were wiped out. However, when the first village was wiped out, the local county government neither reported it in time nor sent people to investigate, resulting in the Demon Slayer Department not being able to The demon was discovered in time, causing two other villages to be destroyed. In the end, it was discovered by the demon slayer who went out to kill the demon.

Lin Xi saw Gu Yan suddenly frowning and asked quickly

"Sir, what happened?"

Gu Yan directly threw the information in his hand to Lin Xi

"Such a tragedy happened in Suiyun County, but the local magistrate did not do anything. It is really abominable. Send two Xuan-level demon-killing envoys with a demon-hunting plate to find this demon and kill it on the spot.

In addition, about the matters in Suiyun County, you have someone tell Mr. Nangong, his own subordinates, and let him handle it by himself."

After all, Nangongshan was the number one winner in the ten-year examination, and Gu Yan did not exceed his authority. He did not directly send someone to capture the magistrate of Suiyun County and deal with it. Instead, he sent someone to inform him and let him handle it by himself.

In the governor's house, Nangongshan was very busy because of the old files that had been accumulated for many years. When he heard the report from his subordinates that a demon-slayer envoy was asking for an audience, he said without raising his head.

"Invite him in"

The demon slayer who came to deliver the message, led by his servants, came to the main hall of Nangong Mountain where the case was handled.

"Master Sheriff"

Hearing the words of the demon slayer, Nangongshan stopped the pen in his hand, looked at him and asked

"Master Gu, what's the matter?"

"Well, Mr. Gu sent me to inform Mr. Nangong about what happened in Suiyun County..."

After the Demon Slayer told Nangong Shan the details, he left directly.

After hearing this, Nangongshan frowned tightly. It was obvious that the inaction of the Suiyun County magistrate made Nangongshan very angry.

"Sun Xing! Go to Suiyun County and find out what happened. If the magistrate of Suiyun County knows about it and doesn't report it, then he doesn't need to be the magistrate anymore."

"Yes, my lord"

...

Five days later, the two demon slayers who went to investigate the evil spirits have not returned yet.

Gu Yan realized that the evil spirit in Suiyun County was probably in the sixth realm at the lowest level. Otherwise, the two demon slayers in the Nourishing Realm would not be able to send out signals.

"Lin Wu, come with me to Suiyun County"

Gu Yan left Jiangnan County with Lin Wu and several demon slayers, heading east to Suiyun County.

At this time, Sun Xing returned to the county governor's house.

"Sir, a demon has appeared in Suiyun County recently. The county magistrate is trying his best to hunt for the demon and has not noticed that the three villages were destroyed."
