Kill me a few more times and I'll be invincible

It doesn't seem to make sense here? Did he think wrong?

"Qiao Pif?" Shen Qinghe poured tea while trying to find out the details of Qiao Mu:

"Of course I have to give you Mr. Wang's face. But you have to give me an explanation. After all, how capable you are and how big an official you are."

Naturally, Qiao Mu would not reveal his true identity.

But since the Shen Qinghe in front of him was an old friend of the bandit king Song He, he was not a pedantic bureaucrat.

Qiao Mu then said seriously:

"I, Qiao Pif, am from a different place and am not a local. I just couldn't stand the local powerful people bullying the people in the village. In a rage, I killed the royal clan... No, I have been killing powerful people for five or six years. ”

It turned out to be a criminal who committed something... Shen Qinghe suddenly realized.

Although a sixth-grade martial artist can easily become a sixth-grade martial official without real power, there is still a big prerequisite.

That is to say, one’s life experience is pure and without stain.

It would be outrageous if some bandit or murderous maniac could become an official in the court after practicing some martial arts, even if he was a casual official with no real power.

"If local tyrants are oppressing the people in the village, then killing them is not a bad thing..." Shen Qinghe said as he felt something was wrong again.

Judging from Qiao Mu's words, it is understandable that he is a chivalrous man who hates evil.

But the problem is, is this "Qiao Pif" a high-level warrior with a damaged soul?

It seems that this so-called local tycoon is not an ordinary tycoon. Could it be that he is a cultivator from the Immortal Sect?

The Great Yan court shunned those who cultivated immortality, calling them strangers. As a criminal who had committed a crime, Qiao Pif was worried that his crime would be exposed, so there was nothing wrong with calling the "immortal cultivator" a local tycoon.

After all, resisting an alien is a grave sin.

"If I don't tell you this in advance, where is Mr. Wang who recommended you now? Speaking of which, I haven't seen him for many years." Shen Qinghe asked again.

During the questioning, although the expression on Shen Qinghe's face did not change, his body sitting on the seat leaned forward slightly. Although he quickly adjusted it, this subtle movement still caught Qiao Mu's eyes.

With enhanced vision, Qiao Mu can notice various subtle changes.

"Does Shen Qinghe care more about Wang Songhe than recommending me? They don't seem to be ordinary old friends. He really wants to know about Wang Songhe, but he hides it subconsciously."

"It sounds like he doesn't know much about Wang Songhe's current situation?"

After Qiao Mu thought for a while, he did not elaborate, but said vaguely:

"Mr. Wang Songhe's whereabouts are mysterious. In fact, I don't know much about it. He seems to be living in seclusion in the mountains and forests?"

What Wang Songhe was doing was a rebellion, so Qiao Mu wouldn't talk nonsense without knowing the details of Shen Qinghe.

"You are living in seclusion? Where are you living in seclusion?" Shen Qinghe asked several more times, but Qiao Mu dealt with it perfunctorily and did not answer directly.

After going back and forth, Shen Qinghe lost interest and gave up questioning.

"In that case." Shen Qinghe nodded:

"In two days, you can report to the Six Gates. With your ability, you are more than enough to be the head catcher of Heyang Prefecture."

Shen Qinghe is a seventh-grade official and is in charge of the prosecution of prison cases.

Although the official position is not big in this city, it is naturally easy to arrange a mere arrest.

The catchers and head catchers are not even officials, they can only be regarded as petty officials.

Shen Qinghe is an upright person and hates things like going through the back door.

But generally speaking, using the back door means sending some people who are not qualified to work and become workplace bastards.

And a high-quality warrior like Qiao Pif is just a policeman? Can we open the back door?

If you walk through the main entrance, the yamen may not be able to accommodate such a great god.

"Master Wang must have ulterior motives, but it's a pity that he didn't elaborate on it in the letter... There must be something hidden." Shen Qinghe thought silently.

He stood up and personally escorted Qiao Mu out and sent him away.

Qiao Mu didn't pay much attention to the identity of the head catcher.

He wants to live in Heyang City. With such an identity, he can avoid a lot of trouble. After all, Qiao Mu himself is a gangster and the main criminal in the assassination of the lord of Yancheng City.

He didn't care much about the arrester's identity, it was just a temporary measure.

Qiao Mu came to Heyang Fucheng firstly to follow his deep intuition, and secondly because Yancheng could no longer accommodate him, so he came to Fucheng to seek a high-quality death.

But these are short-term goals.

The long-term goal... He is still thinking about assassinating the dog emperor and causing a wave of epic deaths!

"When Mr. Guo said that Emperor Dayan would come to Yancheng area within a month, naturally I wouldn't be able to stay in Heyang City for too long, so I don't have to worry about my status as a mere headhunter."

...

Shen Qinghe personally sent Qiao Mu out the door.

Just as he left, it turned out that the housekeeper of the mansion walked in quietly.

He picked up the recommendation letter on the table, glanced at it quickly, his expression changed slightly, and he carefully put the envelope back where it was.

After Shen Qinghe returned to the house, he was startled when he saw the envelope, and quickly lit the letter of recommendation on a candle and destroyed it.

After doing this, he entered the study room in the mansion and started reading the classics in the study room.

"Is there a kind of soul injury that can prevent a martial artist from losing obvious energy and blood, but his strength is very weak and it is difficult to exert it?"

He didn't know much about the soul, so this time he was flipping through books in the study to verify whether his idea was correct.

And all this was watched silently by a pair of eyes.

..

Half a day later.

East of Heyang Fucheng.

The housekeeper of the Shen family walked through the dark alley and entered an ordinary courtyard. Inside the house was a middle-aged man with bulging temples and eyes as cold as a deep pool.

"Master Chu, something big has happened." Guanjiahui reported:

"Shen Qinghe, who has always been shy, actually arranged for an acquaintance to be a small public servant, so I kept an eye out and went to peek at the recommendation letter..."

"The signature on the recommendation letter was actually Wang Shanhe, who resigned all those years ago!"

Um?

After listening to the report carefully, Chu Xing's expression suddenly changed.

A warrior who has been seriously injured and has no strength at all, but is obviously full of energy and blood and is not a weakling?

After the two parties finished chatting, Shen Qinghe immediately entered the study room to check the classics and information related to aliens and gods?

Is this mysterious man named Qiao Pif recommended by Wang Shanhe?

Looking at Shen Qinghe's actions, this man named Qiao Pif, is his injury related to the spirit or the alien? But what about having abundant qi and blood?

Perhaps, we need to meet that Chopif in person and see his background before we can draw a deeper conclusion.

All kinds of questions flashed through his mind, and Chu Xing had a thought in his mind.

Shen Qinghe, you have been holding back for so long, your chicken feet are finally exposed.

"Qiao Pif, Shen Qinghe, and... Wang Shanhe, whom Your Majesty has been thinking about? This matter is indeed not a small matter. Since Your Majesty is in the capital, it is natural that he must report it immediately."

Chu Xing thought for a moment and hurried out.

Chapter 62 A high-quality product with damaged soul?

A restaurant in the west of the city, a place where drunken immortals live.

In the private room on the second floor, a man in yellow robe stood by the window sill with his hands behind his back, looking down at the people coming and going on the street below.

This Heyang City is considered a big city in the entire Southland, so it is quite prosperous and bustling with pedestrians passing by.

Occasionally, when a Taoist-looking pedestrian walks by, the pedestrians next to him will silently walk away, leaving a small area of ​​the originally lively street empty.

Behind the man in yellow robe, Chu Xing, who had just entered the door, knelt on the ground, calling himself "Your Majesty" and reporting what had just happened.

Shen Qinghe, once served as the local county magistrate of the seventh rank. He was transferred to the capital as an official because of his outstanding political achievements. Over the years, he held many official positions, large and small. At the highest level, he reached the fifth rank and was a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment.

As for being beaten to the bottom, demoted out of the capital, and became a seventh-rank sesame official, that's another matter.

The reason why Shen Qinghe received special attention and even specially appointed Feiyuwei as the housekeeper in the mansion was not only due to his own reasons, but also half of the reason was attributed to Wang Shanhe.

"Finally, there is news about Wang Shanhe?" The man in yellow robe turned back, with a look of interest clearly flashing in his eyes.

"Yes. Wang Shanhe recommended a man named Qiao Pifu. This should be the first time he has contacted his former protégé Shen Qinghe since he resigned." Chu Xing replied.

"Wang Shanhe? He can keep his temper."

"He has been missing for thirty years, right?" The man in yellow robe said with emotion in his eyes:

"When he carried the coffin to the court, he told the late emperor that the stranger was the source of trouble in the world. The late emperor ordered the Jinwu guards to shoot him to death with bows and arrows. He, who had never practiced martial arts, was immediately seriously injured by several arrows and fell to the ground. Still insisting on my opinion, I climbed to the throne of the late emperor... I was still young at the time, so I had a deep impression on him. "

"Later, there was news that after he resigned, he turned to the immortals to practice Taoism. It is nonsense to think about it. He hates immortals so much, how can he practice Taoism? But I didn't expect to hear news about him today."

Decades ago, when the late emperor was in power, the Great Yan Dynasty had many talented civil and military officials, and there were also many heroes who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the country.

It was only after the disastrous defeat of Wu Shengren, who was vaguely the leader of the military attachés, after the Alien War that Dayan's national fortunes turned from prosperity to decline, and he knelt down in front of the immortal cultivators and submitted to humiliation.

The current civil and military ministers who were stubborn and dared to resist other people basically died miserably.

At that time, Wu Shengren was in his prime, a first-class military attache in the dynasty, and was the vague leader of the military attaches. He was undoubtedly the most dazzling star in the court.

Wang Shanhe was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment at that time and was a second-grade civil servant in the court. Although he was not as dazzling as Wu Shengren, he was still one of the most important officials in the court.

Wu Shengren survived the bloody battle, and then abandoned his official position and left.

Wang Shanhe carried the coffin and died to remonstrate, and almost died in the Jinluan Hall.

Among the other civil and military officials, those who had strong bones either died tragically in the catastrophe, or those who survived like Wang Shanhe also left the court disheartened.

The so-called backbone of warriors and the character of literati have been interrupted by immortal cultivators in the past few decades.

Those who dared to sacrifice their lives for the country basically died.

Today, the Great Yan Court is full of people who are just like flies and dogs. Even he, the Emperor of Great Yan, has to make concessions in front of the immortal cultivators.

So he misses that era decades ago.

In that era when the country was facing a national crisis, the backbone of the military and the spirit of the literati were still there.

Figures like Wang Shanhe are the epitome of the previous era.

Every time he heard this person's name, he sighed.

"I really didn't know that there are still a few ministers in this court who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the country and the king." The man in yellow robe sighed.

As Emperor Dayan, of course he wanted to have more figures like Wang Shanhe in the court.

Chu Xing, who was kneeling in front of him, could only look at his nose and heart. He couldn't answer these words, and he didn't dare to answer them.

After the man in yellow robe recovered from his emotion, he asked about what happened this time.

Chu Xing replied: "Wang Shanhe's recommendation letter did not mention his specific situation, so Shen Qinghe probably doesn't know either."

"If we want to talk about the breakthrough, it may have to fall on the person he recommended, Joe Piff."

The man in yellow robe nodded slightly.

Wang Shanhe has disappeared for more than thirty years, and now he has finally contacted his former disciples. He must have a conspiracy.

After all, he was once a second-rank official in the dynasty, and now he suddenly recommended a Joe to be a head-hunting clerk who was not even an official?

It would be fine if this Joe Piff was an ordinary person.

But according to the information Chu Xing learned, it was obvious that Qiao Pif was not a creature of the pond.

"This Joe Piff seems to have lost his soul. According to what he says in his heart, his strength is weak. He is in a period of weakness."

"But judging from the informant's information, this person is obviously full of energy and blood, and he is an accomplished martial artist. It is difficult to imagine that his strength at this time is completely different..."

"Introducing him to Fucheng as a small-time headhunter is obviously overqualified and underused. It's very wrong."

"After he visited Shen Qinghe, Shen Qinghe immediately went into the study to look up the classics and materials related to aliens and gods... This is also worth pondering."

Hearing Chu Xing's report, the man in yellow robe was quite surprised and a little interested.

Originally, he had a special regard for Wang Shanhe, who carried the coffin and remonstrated, because of his childhood experience, so he had some thoughts about Qiao Pifu, whom Wang Shanhe recommended.
