Chapter 51 How is my sister?
"The martial artist has come before Lao Tzu."
Huang Wei crossed his legs, beckoned with his finger, and looked nonchalant.
Six people walked out from the more than twenty people.
Huang Wei looked you up and down. "Which of you belongs to one of the three major families?"
Upon hearing this, everyone except Li Yuan raised their hands.
"Um!"
Huang Wei waved his hand, "No matter which family you're from, once you come here, you have to abide by my rules. If you don't want to, get out now."
That's all!
He sat up straight, abandoning his nonchalant attitude, his gaze sharpening as he stared at the five people.
If he seemed like a hooligan just now, he is now a real chief constable.
"yes!!"
...
The five quickly replied that they were originally marginal figures in the family, and having chosen this path, they naturally dared not use the family's name to show off.
"Um!"
Huang Wei nodded in satisfaction. He actually disliked people from the three major families coming to his place the most.
Not only was he arrogant, but he also frequently ignored my orders, something that had happened before.
This made him very unhappy, so when he was dispatching constables to the front lines last time, he specifically chose those from the three major families.
The final result...they all died!
"And you? Where are you from?"
Huang Wei looked at Li Yuan and asked.
"Reporting back, sir, my subordinate Li Yuan is from the outer city," Li Yuan replied.
"From the outer city?"
Huang Wei muttered, "That's good."
He likes it when there's no background to back him up.
"alright!"
"I've gotten to know everyone I need to, and I'll gradually get to know the others as well."
"Ask the elders if you don't understand something."
"I'm in charge of the area around the South Gate Wharf. You all know the situation now. The magistrate's orders are to patrol day and night."
"Let's rotate them once a month; that would be fair."
"As for the specific arrangements..."
Huang Wei stopped and nodded to a young constable, "Liu He!"
"head!"
Liu He stepped forward, then looked at everyone, "I will inform you of the arrangements this afternoon."
"That's settled then!"
Huang Wei stood up, stretched, and said, "If you need anything in the future, ask Liu He."
After saying that, he walked inside, to his private quarters. "Oh, right."
He stopped in his tracks, a thought flashing through his mind. "The reward may be tempting, but my life is my own!"
"Figure it out yourselves."
"Liu He, treat them to lunch, it's on me."
Huang Wei's voice faded into the distance.
"Got it, boss!"
Liu He said with a smile, and only after he entered the inner room did he turn to look at everyone, "Relax, we in the Southern Police Station don't have that many rules, as long as the matter is handled well."
"Come to me now to receive your constable's token."
.....
First day in office.
Just like my first day at work in my previous life, I started by getting to know the situation.
Liu He then gave a detailed account of the current situation in the outer city.
In summary, the rebels are building boats to cross the river, and it is estimated that the fighting will resume soon. Their task is to patrol, and once they discover something, they should immediately send a signal to notify the garrison in the county town.
He emphasized this point several times: life is in your own hands; military merit is valuable, but you must be alive to use it.
As for the others, it's that the constables know each other and are familiar with the situation in the Southern Police Station.
It was midday.
Under Liu He's arrangement, they had a meal at a nearby restaurant, which allowed everyone to get to know each other a bit better.
...
The training room of the Southern Police Station.
"Li Yuan!"
Liu He walked over.
"Brother Liu," Li Yuan called out with a smile.
"I didn't see you in the main hall. So you've come here," Liu He said casually.
"We're from the outer city, aren't we? We haven't seen much of the world. Let's see what the training room looks like first."
It must be said that the training room of the Southern Police Station was very well-equipped.
There are training stances, weapons... and the space is quite large.
"hehe!"
Liu He smiled. "There'll be plenty of time later. Is there a problem with scheduling night patrols this month?"
"OK!"
Li Yuan agreed without hesitation. After all, he was a complete newcomer and it was best not to have any objections.
"That's good."
A smile appeared on Liu He's face. He liked people like Li Yuan who knew when to advance and when to retreat.
Several people were unwilling before, but he didn't indulge them, so he did it at night.
"Speaking of which, we actually have some kind of fate between us."
"Oh?"
Li Yuan was taken aback.
"I also come from the outer city, Baiyunfang, but I've been in the inner city for many years."
"Then we're from the same hometown."
"That makes sense!"
Liu He nodded. Basically, people in the inner city looked down on those in the outer city. When his family first came to the inner city, they were also looked down upon.
"You also call me Brother Liu, so I'll give you a few more instructions: patrol is patrol, but if you spot anything amiss, run immediately."
"Thank you, Brother Liu."
Li Yuan bowed and thanked him.
"Alright, that's good. You can stay here by yourself, I'm busy."
Huang Wei was essentially a hands-off manager of the entire Southern Police Station; he was in charge of most of the operations.
"Take care, Brother Liu."
After Liu He left, Li Yuan muttered to himself, "This Southern Police Station is quite interesting."
.....
"Brother Yuan, how was your first day?"
Inside the main room.
Qiu Tong arrived here as soon as he left the yamen, and even brought wine to celebrate his first day in office.
"Not bad, Chief Constable Huang is... easygoing."
He thought about it and decided that these two words were more appropriate.
"Hahaha....."
"You're not involved, are you?"
Qiu Tong laughed and said, "You don't know, he's at a crucial moment, about to break through to the seventh rank, he has no time to care about you guys."
"Oh, I see."
No wonder Li Yuan poured him wine.
"Of the five chief constables, he's the only one of the eighth rank. Do you think he's in a hurry?"
"But it will be soon."
"I heard from Chief Constable Song that entering the blood pool once more should be enough."
It's easy to tell from his words that he and Chief Constable Song have a good relationship.
"How often does the chief constable come in?"
Li Yuan asked.
"Six months!"
"One hour at a time!"
Qiu Tong sipped his wine, his eyes filled with envy. "If I could cultivate in the Blood Pool even once, I would definitely be able to reach the rank of cultivator."
"But you need 100 military merits to advance once, so I guess I won't have the chance."
He shook his head and sighed. He wasn't about to fight to get into the blood pool; he valued his life.
"You also need to be careful not to lose your mind for the sake of military merits."
Qiu Tong warned him.
"I know what I'm doing, Brother Qiu, don't worry."
He's terrified of dying.
He would never take such a risk unless absolutely necessary.
Just like when he killed Tie Niu and Hai Fu, he only took action when he was a level above them.
"Here, the food is ready."
He Qiu came out carrying a bowl of freshly cooked braised pork. "Everything's ready. Enjoy your drinks and conversation!"
To celebrate Li Yuan's inauguration today, she specially prepared a few extra dishes.
After He Qiushi left, Qiu Tong craned his neck and asked in a low voice, "Brother Yuan, what do you think of my sister?"
