Chapter 424: Chapter 175: Is the Empress jealous? Nasty little thief, don’t mess around in front of Zhu’er!_2
Qiu Longgang and his companions showed expressions of delight.
Class A Merit is a first-class achievement, meaning that as long as they do not make major mistakes, promotion in the future is almost a certainty!
"Concurrent appointment as Yulin Army Lang General?"
Chen Mo looked puzzled, somewhat bewildered.
He knew that jumping three ranks within a year was against the regulations, even though he had made great contributions this time, it was unlikely he would enter the Qilin Pavilion... but what’s with this concurrent appointment?
"Personal Merit Guard of the Yulin Army are palace guards, and Lang General is a Standard Fifth Rank position, considered an intermediate-level general."
"What does the Empress mean by this?"
"Doing investigation at the government office by day, and guarding the palace for her by night?"
However, before the imperial decree was fully announced, Eunuch Jin continued, saying:
"Additionally, upon thorough investigation, Fire Department Thousand Households Bai Lingchuan colluded with the Blood Demon, slaughtered civilians, and attempted to harm his colleagues! His crimes are horrendous, and he has been executed in Tiannan State!"
"For the time being, Fire Department affairs will be managed by Commander Luo Huaijin, and a capable individual will be appointed in due course."
"By Imperial Command."
?!
Upon hearing this, everyone present was dumbfounded, unable to believe their ears.
Households Commander Bai actually colluded with the Seventh Heavenly Demon?
And he died in the Southern Border?!
They instinctively looked at Chen Mo. Ever since Chen Mo became the General, his superiors have successively met their demise.
Starting from Hundred Household Officer to Thousand Household Officer, without exception.
Bai Lingchuan was about to retire, and yet didn’t end well either... is this the premium of the innate nemesis of Heaven’s Sanction?
"Ahem!"
Eunuch Jin cleared his throat, saying, "Gentlemen, shall we receive the decree?"
Everyone in the Fire Department came back to their senses, bowed to the ground, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace!"
Eunuch Jin walked up to Chen Mo, helped him up, and said, "The Blood Demon has wrought havoc for years, his hands stained with countless lives. Now that he has been completely eradicated by Mr. Chen, not only have those wronged souls been vindicated, but the citizens of Southern Border are also returned a clear Heaven and Earth! Truly an unprecedented achievement!"
Luo Huaijin echoed, saying, "Mr. Chen is truly adept at handling cases, having such a talent is indeed the fortune of the court."
Chen Mo waved his hand, saying, "Both gentlemen overpraise me, this matter is surely not the accomplishment of me alone..."
"No need for modesty, Mr. Chen, I’ve heard of your feats long ago."
"Once or twice, it might be considered mere luck, but solving major cases repeatedly, even killing two of the Ten Great Demons, no one else could possess such abilities!"
Luo Huaijin patted Chen Mo’s shoulder, speaking earnestly, "My energy is limited, and I can’t be in two places at once. In the future, Fire Department affairs will require Mr. Chen to give more attention."
Luo Huaijin, having been in office for many years, naturally discerned clearly, that he was just a placeholder.
His Highness even bestowed a Qilin robe upon Chen Mo, and this Thousand Household position is plainly prepared for him.
Though thinking of Bai Lingchuan’s fate made him somewhat unsettled, the reputation of this kid being a nemesis to superiors isn’t just for fun!
He climbed all the way from General, slaying through the entire Fire Department!
"Fortunately, above Thousand Household Officer there is Town Patrol Commander, so it won’t be my turn for a moment..." Luo Huaijin silently comforted himself.
At this moment, Eunuch Jin said, "The robes, Spiritual Marrow, and brocade bestowed by His Highness have been sent to Chen Mansion, and as for Personal Merit Guard Yulin Lang General, a palace guard leader, specific responsibility transfer still requires Mr. Chen to visit the palace with me."
Chen Mo nodded, saying, "Sorry to trouble you, Eunuch."
After they left, the drill ground suddenly became lively.
Everyone gathered around Qiu Longgang and his companions, bombarding them with questions, the atmosphere was enthusiastic, bursting with exuberance.
They looked at them with eyes full of envy.
Indeed, following Mr. Chen not only ensures a steady income but also grants great merit each time!
...
Qilin Pavilion.
Two figures stood by the window, gazing at the Sky Scale Guard drilling ground.
Yun He stood with hands behind his back, frowning.
Bai Lingchuan had always acted quietly, neither extraordinary nor lacking, having little presence in the Qilin Pavilion.
No one would’ve thought that this benevolent-looking old man would collude with the Blood Demon... and then be taken down completely by Chen Mo!
Both Chu Zhuo and Jian Yinsan were like this, being officials for many years without incident, but once they became superiors of Chen Mo, black secrets soon emerged, leading to their doom...
Whoever becomes his superior is unlucky!
"This kid is truly a bit uncanny!"
"Luckily, I was transferred to the Fire Department then, or I might have been trapped by him!"
Thinking of this made Yun He shiver.
Next to him, Ye Zi’e’s eyes were somewhat mesmerized.
"Chen Mo should’ve already broken through to Fourth Rank by now, right?"
"Being able to engage in Dual Cultivation with such a Heavenly Pride isn’t bad, especially since he carries the scent of the Empress..."
Thinking of this, her cheeks flushed, her breathing became slightly hurried.
If she could thus break through to Third Rank, she could certainly gain favor with the Empress, the thought made her eager with anticipation!
Though she believed herself to have a certain charm, a slender waist, ample bosom, and curvy hips, if proactively offered, few men would likely refuse her.
But after all, Chen Mo is the Empress’s concubine.
Previously, she was caught red-handed again, perhaps having the intention but lacking the courage.
"This is indeed a problem, how can I get him to cooperate with me?" Ye Zi’e pondered, pinching her chin.
Then, Yun He noticed something, glanced at her, and asked in confusion, "Why is your face so red? Looks like you took an aphrodisiac..."
"Aphrodisiac?"
Ye Zi’e had a sudden realization, her eyes lit up.
That’s reasonable!
Why bother getting his consent? Just drug him directly!
"Truly a wake-up call!"
Ye Zi’e excitedly turned and walked outside.
Yun He asked in confusion, "Corps review is about to start in a while, where are you going?"
Ye Zi’e replied without looking back, "Buying medicine!"
Yun He: ?
