"My lord, the paperwork sent by the Zhongshu Pavilion!"

When Zhang Wenbin was having a headache in the county government about the water dragon king's dying water-based monsters, the master hurriedly walked in with a red-headed document.

Since the paper mill and printing factory were put into production, the official document has been replaced with such a style, a snow-white paper, printed with clear lead characters, light weight, large capacity, easy to read, not easy to imitate, etc., but it has won the love of many public families.

"From Zhongshuge?"

Zhang Wenbin paid attention to it.

Although the Secretariat of the Zhongshu Pavilion, the Supervision Department and other departments are not high in their own level, and the level of official establishment is not high, but the important official documents of the whole province have to go here again, and because they directly serve the King of Qi, they usually participate in things that are more comprehensive and important than the work of the divisions, and there are official documents for officials at all levels in the province, with screening, suggestions, explanations and other work.

With the growing power of the Zhongshu Pavilion, it has been called a small cabinet.

Zhang Wenbin took the official document and quickly scanned it.

Official documents have a fixed format, in which the work content and requirements are also in a fixed place, which is easy to view.

Zhang Wenbin quickly sorted out the meaning conveyed by this official document.

He picked up the pen and combed out a frame.

"It seems that we don't need to worry about the matter of the water system, we have already arranged for other yamen to take the lead in solving it, we just need to send someone to cooperate and conduct a visit and investigation."

He breathed a sigh of relief.

It's really that the county government doesn't have the ability to deal with these monsters, and the Yamen of the Divine Arrow Division of Yutai County can't do it.

In fact, the local government lacks high-end combat power, and it is more than enough to deal with some living corpses, mountain bandits and hooligans, etc., only relying on the staff, local magic arrow divisions, and local militia of the officials themselves, but when facing some powerful monsters, extraordinary people, and high-level martial artists, they are often unable to do so.

"In addition, the above plans to carry out a pilot project in our Yutai County to establish a police station, which has the responsibilities of maintaining social order, fighting crime, and establishing household registration."

Zhang Wenbin said.

"Didn't you take away the power of the county government's criminal name?"

Master frowned and said.

Zhang Wenbin himself is from the Dongyang County family, and entered the university for comprehensive study, although he is young, he already has a set of his own methodology, and carefully read the official document, thoroughly understand the content, and said with his own understanding:

"The police station is under the management of the county government, and the appointment and evaluation of the police chief has the right to make suggestions and score the county. The establishment of the police station has strengthened the power of the county!

Moreover, after having the police station, we can dismiss the three classes of officials, and we will no longer be constrained by the local gentry and wealthy families, and we will have more space to do more things.

For example, the police department is responsible for the compilation of household registration, and the second round of our work of compiling households will definitely be carried out in cooperation with them, and the promotion work will become more effective at that time.

In addition, the official document also mentioned that while the police station was established, some students would also be sent to the county government to enrich the various government offices. At that time, the officials in the various government offices will also be dispatched, and the operation of the power of the county government will rarely be controlled by the local government anymore!

This is the next big move, once it is fully displayed, without the constraints of the local clans, the power of the local government will be unprecedentedly high, and the ability to implement the policies of the higher levels will be unprecedentedly improved! This is a direct expansion of the boundaries of power for both the central government and the local government, so that they can do things better. ”

After speaking, Zhang Wenbin looked at the master beside him: "You were arranged by my father, you have been with three county magistrates, you have rich experience in governing the locality, and you have more experience than me in the influence and control of the local clans on the county government."

This time, Wang Ye put the pilot in Yutai County, which is both a test and an opportunity for us.

If you do a good job, you will definitely be able to enter the field of vision of the prince, and the official career will be bright in the future.

If I don't do a good job, then I'm afraid my career will stop here. ”

"That's what my lord said."

The master thinks so.

"In this case, in order to prevent the ghost from demolishing the stage, I will write a letter, you send someone back to Dongyang, and ask my father to send more money, food and manpower. There are also some problems that have been backlogged before, even with the help of the family's strength, they must be solved as soon as possible.

Next, 240 retired soldiers will come to Yutai County, which are the backbone of the Yutai County Police Department.

You call the county lieutenant to come over in the evening and discuss the matter of accepting these retired soldiers and how to form this police department. ”

Zhang Wenbin instructed the matter to go on, and was ready to seek help from his family, and went all out to do a good job in this provincial pilot project.

If you succeed, you will soar, and if you fail, you will fall for thousands of miles.

By the end of the night, the royal convoy had already left Yutai County and came to Duobao Town in Fengxi County.

Duobao Town is located at the foot of Sanhua Mountain, the origin of the name has been hundreds of years, because it used to be rich in gemstones, attracting countless treasure diggers to gather here, and then more and more people gathered, and many people chose to settle here, forming a town, after hundreds of years, to now, it has developed into a town with more than 30 villages.

The geographical location of Duobao Town is located on the north-south traffic artery, and the population is relatively prosperous.

But after entering the city, the people in the convoy sensitively noticed that the atmosphere here was a little weird.

The house is hung with white silk, the gate is hung with white lanterns, and the word "lay" is written on it.

If one or two are normal, but half of the city is vegetarian, it is really wrong.

"Let's go to Xitian Road, Master Dong will go all the way!"

When it was dark, there was a mournful and sad suona sound, and the funeral procession walked through the street, throwing out countless paper money flying in the air.

Under Ren Pingsheng's orders, the convoy gave way to the side.

This is a succession of several funeral processions out of the city one after another.

"This small city, with white lanterns hanging in front of the door, accounts for nearly one-third, and it seems that the rumors heard on the road are true."

Xiao Wan looked at the scene outside the window and said: "Most of the dead people in Duobao Town have been dug out of their hearts and lungs, and their deaths are miserable, with many animal claw marks and bite marks. There are also many missing people, who are likely to have been taken captive by youkai. ”

"How do you feel that in this world, there are suddenly more monsters."

Forget the book asked with some incomprehension.

"It's not that there are more monsters all of a sudden, it's that there are more contact between monsters and human society!"

Xiao Wan said: "The number of missions against youkai in the Night Owl Organization has been soaring since last year, and the number of youkai has been rising.

It's just that under the control of the three divisions, there has not been much demon news in Wuzhou among the people.

But in other provinces, rumors of youkai have long been flying!

Now, there are more demon news in Wuzhou, and there is more contact between monsters and the people, and the control of the three divisions has become more and more difficult. ”

"If this goes on for a long time, the demon clan may become a big problem."

Ren Pingsheng looked at the flickering torches outside, and his face was mixed: "Send someone to the town to interrogate." ”

"Yes."

The outer attaché recruited a few reserve officials, inquired about the people, and headed towards the town office.

The convoy headed towards Moonlight Square.

On the side of Duobao Town, there are Qingjin Fang, Hailan Fang, Jinlu Fang, Grape Fang, Green Jade Fang, Moonlight Fang, Maoyan Fang, Chalcedony Fang, etc., a total of eight Fang, but now the population is only seven or eight thousand people, and most of them are concentrated in Qingjin, Hailan, and Moonlight Fang.

Most of these markets are named after the types of gemstones.

When the convoy entered the moonlight workshop and passed by the door of the mansion, bursts of whimpering and crying came out, which made people feel very depressed and depressed unconsciously.

Coming to the accommodation, Ren Pingsheng got down from the carriage, and the owner of this place stood in the distance, looking forward to it.

"Call him here."

Ren Pingsheng beckoned to the master of this place.

The guards let him over.

This is a man in his forties, wearing a silk round neck, and a rich face.

"Lord Wang! Chieftain! ”

This person was called to Ren Pingsheng and Qin Wan's side, obviously very excited, and was about to make a big salute.

"Excuse me, and tell me what's going on here."

Ren Pingsheng walked into the house.

The house is not small, with five entrances before and after, east and west across the courtyard, and more than a dozen courtyards, occupying one-fifth of the area of the Moonlight Square.

"Since March, people have been going missing. At the beginning, most of the missing people were Orion and Langzhong who went into the mountains to hunt and collect medicine.

As soon as these people entered the mountain, it was half a month and twenty days or more, and their disappearance did not attract much attention. At first, we didn't pay attention until the beginning of last month, when Lang Zhong of Jishitang came out of the mountain, saying that he had found a gem in the mountain and brought a dozen people who wanted to make a fortune into the mountain.

After that, these people did not come out again, but the Lang Zhong came out again in the second half of last month, and came out with a bag of gems, saying that they had dug it up, and some of it was sold to the merchants in the town, and some of it was bought by a lowly person.

Seeing that there were real gems in the mountains, and hundreds of people were attracted to them, they followed him into the mountains······"

This person followed Ren Pingsheng step by step, talking about the ins and outs of the whole thing.

"This Duobao Town hasn't dug up a gem for hundreds of years, I don't know how many people have looked for it, how can it suddenly be dug up again now?"

Xiao Wan asked suspiciously.

"The chief's words were right, but when he bought the gems, he felt very strange. This gem is only raw ore when it is mined, but what Na Langzhong sold me is a polished crystal clear gem. This has to be a state of fine craftsmanship and fine polishing!

But in that mountain, how could there be such a craftsman?

Since then, when Langzhong went down the mountain again, he sent someone to follow him secretly, and went into the mountain to investigate, but found that the mountain did not know when the cottage was built, and there were as many as three or four hundred people in the cottage, and those who were taken away by Langzhong were also in this cottage.

In the valley under the cottage, there is really a gem mine, after it is mined, it is polished and made by the craftsmen in the cottage, and then brought out by Lang Zhong to sell. ”

The man told the results of his investigation, and said: "The people in the cottage were originally peasants who were abandoned into the mountains to escape the harsh government of the imperial court. Later, in the middle of the mountain, this vein was found next to the mountain stream.

It is said that this gem mine is not large, and almost all of the output is relatively single moonstone, but relying on this vein, the people in the cottage can also do not worry about eating and drinking. ”

"Well, let's not talk about these people who have gone to the cottage, what's going on with these dead people in the city?"

Came to the main courtyard, Ren Pingsheng sat down in the hall.

After checking the safety of the tea, Ruhua served the tea.

This tea is also good.

As the head of the Fengxi County Station of the Night Cat Organization, this person's identity on weekdays is a businessman, and with the identity of the head of the Night Cat Organization, he is doing the business of selling salt, cloth and construction contracting, which also allows him to accumulate a lot of net worth.

"Your Highness, in this Duobao Town, there is a fox demon with a very high cultivation!"

The man said.

"Fox demon? Elaborate. ”

Ren Pingsheng straightened his waist.

Suddenly came interested.

"Yes!"

Seeing that the prince seemed to be sexually interested, this person hurriedly said carefully: "Actually, the disappearance of the population and the death of the population of Duobao Town, these two things did not happen in the same time period. It's just that these two things can't help but be associated with each other.

Townspeople began to die, early this month, and more than a dozen people died overnight. Some of these dead bodies, some of which I have seen with my own eyes, were basically killed by digging out their hearts and lungs, and the wounds on their bodies were all scratches and bites.

At this time, I thought there should be some connection between these deaths and disappearances. It wasn't until a few days ago that the news of Sanhuashan Cottage came back, and the disappearance case was clarified.

And the death case, through our sending people to visit, finally the day before yesterday, asked the witnesses!

It is said to be a snow-white white fox, after killing people, grinding teeth to allow blood, dissecting the heart and lungs, and eating the hearts and lungs. ”

"Stationmaster Lin, since it is a monster, can you find out where this demon fox is?"

Xiao Wan asked.

"It's been checked, it's in this moonlight workshop."

Stationmaster Lin said: "The Fu family alley in Moonlight Fang, the third aunt of Master Fu is. ”

Ren Pingsheng was shocked again: "The fox demon has turned into a human form? ”

At the same time, the telekinesis had already swarmed out, and in an instant, it had covered the entire Moonlight Workshop.

The moonlight workshop is not big, and the mental power coverage is very easy, and because the area covered is small, there is more experience to carry out a more detailed and rapid investigation, but in the blink of an eye, the Fu family's house has been found, and there are more than 20 women in the back house, except for the maid and the young lady, Ren Pingsheng quickly skipped the hostess of the old pearl and yellow, and swept away from several young and beautiful concubines one by one.

Through other people's titles, Ren Pingsheng locked on a woman with cold eyes, cold white skin, and looked eighteen or nineteen years old.

She was dressed coolly, and a golden hairpin was stuck in her head, which shook and shook as she walked, and the amplitude of her chest was in the same frequency and tone, and complemented each other.

Just looking at her appearance, I really can't tell what kind of fox demon she will be.
