The status of the officials is even more low, and they know better than anyone what is going on in the capital.

When the notice to recruit strong men was posted, they knew very well that there was absolutely no way that there would be any people willing to help defend the city.

The Beijing camp has offended the old and young masters of the entire capital.

"What do you mean by saying that King Xin issued this holy decree to recruit strong men?"

"Isn't it, the old and young masters in the capital, who doesn't hate the soldiers in the Beijing camp, and they don't hate Chengguo Gong to the core, and they want to recruit the people to defend the city together, even if it's as difficult as climbing to the sky?"

Until now, these small officials of the household department still call Zhu Youzhen the king of faith in private, and call Zhu Youxiao His Majesty.

It can be seen that he rejects Zhu Youzhen, who has been a virtuous king for more than 20 years, and has a bad reputation in less than a month.

Another small official also waved his hand and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not just like this, if this matter is just so simple, then that's it." ”

"I heard some officers in the Beijing camp say that everything that Xinzai announced is fake, including saying that His Majesty has been coerced by the Jiannu people, and these are all fake."

"That's not it, it's in the capital now, who doesn't know that our majesty has won a big battle in the north, and now he is about to come back."

Another official next to him interjected and said: "Who doesn't know about this matter, even if the news from this teahouse tavern may not be true, but is it the news from the Beijing camp under the jurisdiction of Chengguo Gong, and it is still false?" ”

Since ancient times, winning in foreign wars has been a way to improve the people's sense of self-honor.

Didn't you say how powerful the Jianzhou Jurchen was?

It is said that Liaodong eats so much military pay every year and raises so many soldiers, but he can't stand them.

Now, with more than 30,000 recruits who have never even fought a battle, they have easily defeated Jiannu.

This is really their majesty, worthy of dominating the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Ming Dynasty, and worthy of pointing out the sun, moon, mountains and rivers in the north and south of the river.

The officials and officials present all showed yearning expressions on their faces, their status was very low, and they had never seen how wise and martial their Majesty Zhu Youxiao was!

Come to think of it, when His Majesty comes back, he will definitely hold a grand entrance ceremony, and then they can also have a glimpse of their holy demeanor!

In their minds, the idea is also very simple, Zhu Youxiao can even defeat Jiannu, what is going on with this district of Jingying?

Of course, there are also small officials who remembered the current predicament, gritted their teeth and said: "I hate the current world to death." ”

"In the past, when His Majesty was still in the capital, although we low-level officials, although we were not rich and rich, we finally had peace and tea to eat, and if we didn't say it, we encountered something, and ordinary people took out some scattered silver taels, let us help be a witness or something."

"But now? It is ridiculous that those soldiers of the Beijing camp came to my house and dared to collect money from us, since my grandfather's generation, my family has done all this work, and I have not heard of the officials of our household department, and they still have to pay filial piety to these Qiu Ba in order to keep the family safe. ”

A small official next to him joked: "This is good, you can at least keep the house safe, you see those who have no money and no power, or they don't do anything in the yamen, they just give silver taels, so can they keep the house safe?" I'm afraid it won't work, and in the end, it wasn't taken captive by others. ”

When the others heard these words, they were all concerned.

"I heard that several families have starved to death in Nancheng, mainly because the grain and silver have been robbed, and they really can't survive."

"You say yes, and there are husbands who sell their wives to the kiln so that both of them can survive."

When the older people heard this, they couldn't help but cry the wounded, and waved their hands: "Don't say it, it's a human tragedy." ”

These officials still had a lively discussion, and the junior household official in charge of this place suddenly scolded a few words coldly, "Okay, don't talk nonsense here, do what you have to do, if the nonsense is heard by those people, you will be unlucky." ”

A few small officials turned their heads to take a look, and found that there was another team of soldiers patrolling the city on the street corner in the west, and at first glance it was the costume of the Beijing camp.

A few petty officials didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, lest these soldiers in the Beijing camp listen to them, then they would also have bad luck.

They looked at the soldiers of the Beijing camp, and saw that the armor on their bodies was worn crookedly, and there were a few chickens and ducks hanging behind some red tassel guns.

There was an officer's hundred households in his arms, and there was still a woman's clothes stuffed, and he saw that the soldiers of this Beijing battalion had just returned from doing evil.

The petty official of the household department also hated this matter, although he was also an official no matter how he said it, even if these ordinary soldiers harassed, it would not be able to harass him.

This is also the death order that Cheng Guogong later decided to kill after Li Na's incident, and if any army dares to harass a scholar with a meritorious reputation, or an official of the imperial court, even if it is just a minor official, it will be severely punished.

Soldiers who commit crimes will be punished with sticks at the least and their heads will be lost at worst.

It is also because of Cheng Guogong's efforts that he has won the last dignity for these petty officials in the imperial court.

But even so, this petty official is usually terrified when he stays at home, and he is always afraid that these soldiers from the Beijing camp will suddenly break into the house.

If they can't come clearly, who knows if they will come secretly, take off the armor on their bodies, change into ordinary people's clothes and mess around, even if it is a petty official like him, the family will not have a good life.

To be honest, although when Zhu Youxiao was the emperor in the past, he didn't necessarily give them any benefits, but there is something under Zhu Youxiao that they can't hope for or reach now, and that is stability.

If Zhu Youxiao is here, at least the people in the capital will not be precarious, and these ordinary petty officials will not be so nervous that they can't sleep at night.

Those soldiers of the Beijing camp looked at this group of officials and petty officials who recruited strong men here, and they were still pointing, and their faces were full of ridicule.

These ordinary officials could only have black faces, and they didn't see it, until the pair of ordinary Beijing soldiers left this street corner, and the petty officials and all the officials present breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, one of the officials couldn't help but hide his face and cry bitterly, and said, "If Your Majesty can enter the capital as soon as possible, then this matter is too good." ”

The others didn't agree, but they all nodded secretly.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
