"Just leave two of them, as long as they have a good reputation."

  Shen Yis mind is now on martial arts.

  He wasnt very interested in those miscellaneous things that the bailiff was responsible for, nor the little bit of oil and water he got from eating and taking cards.

  Change into some clean clothes and shoes, its also considered as accumulating less karma.

  Song Changfeng was taken aback and didnt quite understand whether the other persons mention of "reputation" was sarcastic or not.

  As for reputation, once it falls into your hands, Shen, can it still be good?

  He quickly turned around and shouted out two names: "Niu Da, Niu Er, from today on, you will take over their duties."

  The two people who were called by name were the most robust and substantial of all the attendants, and also the two with the least satisfied expressions.

  The two brothers plucked up their courage, stood with cold faces and folded arms, planning to ignore whatever the Shen family member said next.

  However, Shen Yi seemed to have no intention of educating them, and instead turned his head towards Song Changfeng: "Nothing else?"

  The corpse of the official was lying in the courtyard, but the corpse of the demon had vanished without a trace, which was indeed quite strange.

  "Thanks for yesterday."

  Song Changfeng sighed and didnt know whether he was talking about Ban Fangs beheading of the demon or Shen Yi finding an excuse to leave his house.

  After that, his eyes added a few more complex: "Liu Dianli asked me to bring you a message, he said to do things with restraint, you have been over the past two days."

  In the past, Shen Yis information was absolutely more informed than this empty old man, but today, the top came through him to convey a message.

  Rumors of the demon dogs skull and the ape demons headless corpse finally spread upstairs.

  “……”

  Shen Yi slightly furrowed his brow and didnt say a word.

  "The demons may be brutal, but theyre ultimately outside the county town. Some small skirmishes can be ignored... You used to be best at this."

  Song Changfeng looked somewhat downcast, apparently yesterdays demons bold and unbridled questioning at the county government had a great impact on him.

  "Alright, you go ahead and busy yourself, Ill head back home and take a rest."

  Watching Song Changfeng leave the courtyard with a group of attendants, Shen Yi slowly stood up and walked out of the house.

  The Devil-Conquering Divisions inspection is imminent, and the spirits of the masters in the yamen have also become tense.

  He just cant figure it out, even if he gets away with it this time, what does this group of people plan to do next?

  Is it really more serious than losing ones life just because you temporarily take off the black hat on your head?

  Thats a monster! When it eats people, it wont care if youre an ordinary commoner or the county magistrate!

  "Lord Shen."

  Chen Ji clasped his fists and then said in a low voice: "Yesterday... are you alright?"

  I wanted to ask what happened last night, but I swallowed my words.

  "Its okay."

  Shen Yi rubbed her temples.

  Chen Ji seemed to have seen through his thoughts: "Recently, whether its the officials in the yamen or the wealthy and powerful families in the county, they all try every means to invite famous martial artists from Qingzhou with silver, even if its just to guard their homes, it can still intimidate the evil spirits outside the city."

  "Jianghu Wushi?" Shen Yi looked at him sideways.

  "Noble families, all have inherited people." Chen Jis face showed envy, and he continued: "For example, the Lin family invited that person, Liu Qi, who is known as the Tombstone Hand, just the number of demons killed by his iron palms exceeds two digits."

  "These martial artists have been brought up in medicinal baths since they were young, eating precious medicinal meat, and are much more reliable than our group of half-baked officials. Those wealthy families never expected to rely on us to protect their familys lives."

  "Isnt the government afraid of them breaking the law with force?" Shen Yi was somewhat perplexed.

  "Its not that serious, but all the famous and orthodox schools have their signs hung in the imperial court." Chen Ji usually looked taciturn, but he was actually very interested in these martial arts rumors.

  Moreover, those who are invited with silver are not as formidable as those who are invited through connections... It is said that the county magistrate sent a letter to his mentor in Qingzhou, inviting a big shot to come back, and he was usually provided for in the government office, rarely showing his face. Even when Master Liu Qi first arrived in Baiyun County, he had to go and present his visiting card.

  Shen Yis heart skipped a beat as he spoke in a measured tone: "These martial arts sects, when recruiting members, do they have any requirements?"

  If I could find a master to apprentice with, it would be more comfortable than staying in this government office.

  "Talent, family background and character are all indispensable." Chen Ji said, pulling his sleeve: "There is also an unspoken rule that cannot be put on the surface, which is also the most important point, that is, you cant wear this set of clothes through."

  Looking at his helpless eyes, Shen Yi suddenly came to a realization.

  The so-called rivers and lakes should be free and easy-going, but now they have to register with the imperial court first in order to get recognition, as if they were shackled.

  Having started this way, they cant help but worry about being absorbed and assimilated by the imperial court. As a result, refusing to let ghosts into the government office also becomes a matter of course.

  "In short, Baiyun County is still Baiyun County no matter what, the chaos wont spread anywhere else, its just the ordinary people who suffer." Chen Jis eyes had a few more hints of resentment, saying this, he suddenly thought of something and anxiously said: "The girls have all been sent back home, when will the ape demon come?"

  In the past, he would never have asked about such things and would only scold the Shen familys villain behind their back.

  It is suddenly realized that just shouting and scolding cannot solve problems.

  Apart from being able to wield a knife and slash forward, there was not a single thought in his mind, only a belly full of anger. He could only place his hopes on Shen Yis body, as the other party was able to mix and mingle under the eyelids of many demons with ease, he must be able to think of a way.

  "Its already been taken care of."

  Shen Yi lightly and casually revealed the past.

  Upon hearing this, Chen Ji was slightly stunned. He himself had a sleepless night, yet the other party had already quietly resolved the matter.

  "What did the goblin say?"

  "They said I used to handle things efficiently and they were very satisfied with me, wanting to let me take over the position of Song Tou."

  Shen Yi recalled, and indeed, Confucius Ape had said so.

  "Do you agree?"

  "No."

  "No wonder..." Chen Ji slightly felt a headache, he said Song Tou today was possessed by some kind of evil spirit, originally there was still this turn of events.

  "By the way, I just forgot to say, you look a bit strange today." He raised his head.

  "Whats strange?"

  "Its hard to put into words... it just catches your eye."

  Shen Yi nodded, roughly understanding what the other person meant.

  The next moment, the breath flowing freely in his body slowly returned to the Qihai.

  This cultivation is for the Demon-Suppressing Department to see, not for warning demons. If all the little monsters hide from me, it will be difficult to replenish my demon lifespan.

  Collecting his breath, Shen Yi waved his hand: "In the future when youre on duty, take them with you and dont cause any trouble."

  When he heard this, Chen Ji felt a sense of doubt in his heart.

  It wasnt until a moment later that I realized what the other person meant.

  Is this going to be thoroughly rectified? Will you no longer fleece the common people in the future?

  "I understand!"

  "Theres another thing."

  Shen Yi stopped him, and Chen Ji turned back in doubt.

  "Lend me some money, Ill pay you back when I get my salary."

  “……”

  Chen Ji rolled his eyes and said, "Alright, alright, now youre going to skin me alive."

  He reached into his waist and pulled out three pieces of silver, muttering to himself: "I still have to save up for Jin Yus dowry..."

  "Dont worry, if he still cant afford it, Ill marry you."

  Shen Yi took the silver and stepped out of the courtyard.
