Chapter 177 Join! Cheng Wei Wusi Chasi

For Huangfu Rou, if it was a messenger from the Bingmasi, she might still meet him, but the Weiwusi had its own messenger, General Weiwu, to handle it, so she didn't need to care too much about it and could just leave it to the people from the Lifang.

The county magistrate's matter was just "routine procedure" and not worth her attention.

The minor official from the clerk's office who received the order saw that Huangfu Rou did not take Shen Qing's position. A hint of surprise flashed across his face, and he tried his best to remain calm: "Yes, sir. I will give him an official certificate right away, and have him report to the Weiwu Division in three days."

Huangfu Rou buried her head in the official business at hand and said nothing more.

The minor official from the clerk's office clasped his hands together, bowed tactfully, and left.

After they walked out of the government office, the minor official in the clerk's office looked back carefully, and could no longer suppress the ecstasy in his heart.

I was really lucky this time.

Just by talking, he earned a thousand taels for free.

In the past, when the children of wealthy families competed for family background, he might not have had a chance, and even if he got it, he would have to withdraw most of it.

It just so happened that Shen Qing, a stranger who had just arrived and had no background or connections, was just enough for him to take advantage of.

All the way back to the clerk's office, he saw Shen Qing standing upright in the yard without any anxiety, and could not help but look at him sideways.

"This guy is really good-tempered. He gave me so much money. If I were him, I would have been as anxious as an ant on a hot pot."

The clerk walked over, took Shen Qing's arm, and smiled until his eyes narrowed into slits. He said happily, "Little brother, it's done."

"It's done?" Shen Qing asked doubtfully, "Are you serious, sir?"

The minor official in the clerk's office pretended to be angry and said, "How can I lie to you? Our chief inspector has already promised to let me be an official."

Then, he lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Do you think that what you gave me belongs to me alone? As long as it can be given out, it means that the matter is done."

Seeing the little official from the clerk's office acting like this, as if he was afraid that he would go back on his word, Shen Qing was speechless.

For him, as long as he could get a job as a police officer, it didn't matter if he spent some money.

If you have power, money will not be a problem.

Shen Qing did not point it out, and said in a playful manner: "This is all thanks to you, sir."

"I don't dare to take credit for it, I don't dare to take credit for it." The official from the clerk's office said with a smile, "We will give you an official certificate from the clerk's office. You can come back in three days and take the official certificate to report to the Weiwu Division."

When Shen Qing heard this, he felt strange.

He remembered that the position he applied for in his appointment document was Bingmasi Chasi, so how did it become Weiwusi?

Shen Qing was puzzled and asked, "Sir, why do I have to report to the Weiwu Division? I remember that my appointment clerk position is in the Bingmasi Division."

"Hey, don't panic. Whether it's the Military Department or the Guards Department, they are all under the jurisdiction of the Chief of Staff. The latter was separated from the Military Department and is specifically responsible for dealing with demons and the remnants of the Yellow Sky. The two are one and the same. There is no vacancy in the Military Department, but there is one in the Guards Department. You will naturally take up the position there when you come."

The clerk in the clerk's office gave a rough explanation and consoled him, "Don't think too much about it."

Shen Qing secretly complained in his heart, this was probably because the County City Weiwu Division was killed by the Huangtian Sect on the way and many positions were vacant, so he was transferred from the Bingmasi to the Weiwu Division by accident.

At this time, Shen Qing thought of an important question, and he couldn't help asking: "May I ask, sir, is there any difference in the treatment of the County City Guards and the Military Department?"

"In theory, the imperial court issues the same thing, but..." The official in the clerk's office hesitated and said, "You will know when you report to the Ministry of Defense. You won't understand even if I tell you."

Shen Qing's eyes darkened, revealing a mature expression that was not appropriate for his age, and he pondered his words carefully.

"Let's stop here today. Remember to come back in three days."

Shen Qing came back to his senses, clasped his hands together and asked, "What's your name, sir?"

"My last name is Zhao, Zhao Guanglu."

"It turns out to be Lord Zhao. I hope you will take care of my affairs."

"It's easy to talk about."

Shen Qing saw Zhao Guanglu's intention to drive him away, so he did not stay in the military department for long. After bowing, he respectfully withdrew and left the military department. After returning to the inn, Shen Qing told his uncle and others that he was going to join the military department.

Seeing that Shen Qing's position was confirmed, they were completely relieved.

There were still a few days left before reporting to the yamen, and Shen Qing had nothing to do, so he took Tian Xiaohu and Xiao Zhi to find a pawnbroker. After two days of hard work, they spent one thousand taels to buy a small courtyard in the same market as the Weiwusi yamen.

According to the broker, the owner of this yard was originally a Weiwu Division official, but was later killed by a demon, and his family lost their livelihood, so the yard was sold to his wife and children.

This yard is much smaller than the one in Taiping County, but it is big enough for their whole family to live together and is just the right place to settle down.

Another day was spent, and Shen Qing and others moved out of the inn, bought household items, and moved into the courtyard before dark.

In total, Shen Qing spent another three hundred taels of silver before he could set up his home properly.

As a result, he only had two hundred taels of silver left.

If there were no major expenses, this money would probably only be enough to cover their family's living expenses for most of half a year.

His two horses alone would probably eat half of it.

I still have to find a way to make money in the future.

As he spoke, Shen Qing couldn't help but look at Xiao Zhi, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind.

But he quickly suppressed the thought.

"There is no rush for this matter. It is better to gain a firm foothold in the Weiwu Division first, and then make money later."

The next day, when things finally settled down, my aunt planned to take my eldest sister Shen Fang shopping, and the whole family followed her.

Tian Xiaohu and Xiao Zhi were also busy. They went out to gather information under the pretext of shopping, while Shen Qing went to the Bingmasi Yamen to get his official certificate as Zhao Guanglu requested.

Weiwusi Yamen.

There are two stone lions on both sides of the gate, looking majestic.

In the center of the vermilion door lintel, a gilded plaque sparkles in the moonlight.

The three large characters "Weiwusi" are engraved on it with vigorous strokes and majestic momentum, revealing a kind of majesty that comes without any anger.

The gatekeeper at the door saw Shen Qing holding his official credentials and had no intention of making things difficult for him, so he let him in directly to the Weiwusi Yamen.

Compared with the large and comprehensive Bingmasi Yamen, the Yongzhou Bingmasi Yamen appears much more cramped.

Looking around, the bluestone-paved front yard was only ten meters deep. There were rows of messy weapon racks in the yard, which were empty except for a few wooden sticks.

Some sloppy meaning.

There is a row of houses on each side of the yard.

At this time, there were groups of runners sitting in each house, with long swords hanging from their waists, drinking bitter tea from old bowls.

A middle-aged officer saw Shen Qing coming in, took the initiative to step forward, clasped his fists and said: "You are Officer Shen Qing, right?"

Shen Qing raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you recognize me?"

"Officer Shen, your imperial edict was delivered to Chief Officer Zheng yesterday. The Chief Officer specially ordered me to stay here to guard you, my Lord."

Shen Qing knew that the chief sergeant he was referring to was the chief sergeant of the Weiwu Division, who was nominally at the same level as the chief sergeant of the Bingmasi Division, but in fact was slightly lower.

"You can lead the way."

The middle-aged officer lowered his head and said he didn't dare. He took Shen Qing through the front yard and walked to the main hall.

In the center of the main hall stood a large desk piled with documents and files, but there was no one behind the desk.

The middle-aged officer shouted loudly: "Sir, Officer Shen is here."
