Chen Yuan: "..."
"You are really a fucking talent!"
"Isn't this all influenced by Brother Yuan?" Wang Ping chuckled.
"Okay, I won't patrol today. Go home early." Chen Yuan patted Wang Ping on the shoulder.
Wang Ping looked bitter and said anxiously:
"What's the point of going home? My dad is probably going to Widow Ma's house again. How about, brother Yuan, let's go to Yanyu Tower. My dad said that the new group of girls who came recently are very good, and Miss Xiaoyue, Yuan Don’t you want to meet me?”
"Brother Yuan, I'll just celebrate you for being the head catcher. I'll pay for it, brother," Wang Ping patted his chest.
Chen Yuan glanced at Wang Ping speechlessly:
"Would you like to cool down your stems?"
"There is nothing else in your mind except girls?"
Wang Ping was silent for a moment, then nodded heavily.
...
Xu hour and three quarters.
The sky had completely darkened, and a half-circle moon hung in the night sky. Chen Yuan arrived alone at the mansion where County Lieutenant Li Mingqi lived.
Chen Yuan did not dare to neglect Li Mingqi's instructions at noon.
His current position as the head catcher has not yet been determined. After entering the bone refining process, Li Mingqi or Wu Qingfeng will go to Fucheng, and Fucheng will hand down the documents. Only then can Chen Yuan's position be considered stable.
And his biggest backer now is Li Mingqi.
Two unfamiliar government officials were guarding the door of Li's Mansion. After seeing Chen Yuan approaching, they asked him carefully and took him into the mansion without any difficulty. It was obvious that Li Mingqi had given him instructions before.
"Captain Chen, the county captain is waiting inside."
The slightly younger yamen servant had a somewhat flattering look on his face.
The fact that Chen Yuan defeated a group of old government officials and became the new headhunter of Ping'an County had spread throughout half of Ping'an County in just half a day, so when they learned about Chen Yuan's identity, they seemed very respectful.
Chen Yuan is no longer on the same level as them.
"Okay, thank you..."
Chen Yuan smiled and nodded. After watching the government servant leave, he took a deep breath and was about to open the door, but before he could raise his hand, the door opened by itself...
Li Mingqi played with a ring in his hand, without raising his head, and whispered:
"Here you come, just come in."
"yes."
Chen Yuan did not dare to refute and walked into the room slowly.
"sit."
"Thank you, sir."
"Are you very nervous because you are afraid that I will do something bad to you?"
Abruptly, Li Mingqi suddenly raised his head, looked directly at Chen Yuan and whispered.
Chen Yuan was shocked and stood up quickly:
"Your Majesty is majestic and prudent, but I'm humble... I'm a bit overwhelmed by my humble duty."
Li Mingqi pressed down with one hand and motioned for Chen Yuan to sit down.
"You don't need to be nervous. I won't do anything to you, nor will I...explore the reason why you hid your strength before and...the cause of death of Tie Xuan and others."
Li Mingqi smiled.
Chen Yuan's hands in his sleeves were clenched, but his face showed a look of confusion:
"Sir...what do you mean by this?"
Li Mingqi smiled:
"It's nothing, I was just talking casually."
Chen Yuan naturally couldn't believe this. He felt that it was the strength he showed when he took action today that reminded Li Mingqi of something.
Sure enough, there are no stupid people in this world!
Fortunately, Li Mingqi doesn't seem to pay much attention to this aspect.
"I have no interest in exploring your secrets, as long as you serve me loyally." Li Mingqi tapped his fingers on the table with a smile on his face.
"Serving your lord is a humble duty and I have no choice but to shirk it!"
Chen Yuan had a solemn look on his face.
He knew that this was the time to show his loyalty. In this way, Li Mingqi would really pretend that he didn't know anything. Of course, he himself didn't know anything, he just had some guesses.
"I won't treat you badly when you work for me. You must have seen clearly that Magistrate Wu has strong objections to you being the head catcher. Only I can keep you."
As soon as Li Mingqi's words changed, the point in his words was already very obvious.
"I understand."
Li Mingqi's eyes moved slightly and he warned, the next step was sweet dates. He placed a palm-sized porcelain bottle on the table in front of Chen Yuan:
"There are six blood-accumulating pills inside. They are specially prepared for you by me. Compared with the tiger bone pill, this pill is more suitable for the blood refining level. It is rare to see it in the county."
Chen Yuan's eyes were intense. He had naturally heard of the Blood Accumulating Pill. It was indeed as Li Mingqi said. It was extremely difficult to obtain. Although it was a blood refining level pill, its value was higher than that of the Tiger Bone Pill. .
Tiger bone pill is a common pill in the foundation-building realm, no matter what level it is, but compared to the blood-accumulating pill, which is specially refined for blood-refining warriors, the effect is still somewhat inferior.
And it is said that refining is more difficult, so it is relatively rare and cannot be obtained without certain channels. After Chen Yuan learned about it, he did not think about getting any other elixirs, and planned to use the tiger bone elixir to practice until he was built. Base peak.
What Chen Yuan didn't know was that taking pills for a long time would lead to drug resistance.
"Thank you, sir. I will keep my humble position in mind." Chen Yuan stood up and said quickly.
"According to the usual practice, the head catcher will be rewarded with six tiger bone pills, but your situation is different. Without the official document, it is not recognized, so I will give you this pill."
Li Mingqi said softly.
"The three sword skills in the county government are barely passable except for the sword drawing technique. The other two are not of much use to you. Not only does it take a long time to practice, but the power is also beyond your imagination."
"I don't use a sword, so I can't teach you anything, but I can point you to a place..."
Li Mingqi continued.
"My lord is saying..." Chen Yuan was a little confused.
"Zhao Nanshan, the Sanhe Boxing Gym in the east of the city, has a sword technique that is passed down from generation to generation. You can actually see it. I once told Huang Xing, but he doesn't like it. If you are interested, you can try it."
"East of the city, Sanhe Boxing Gym." Chen Yuan murmured.
"Never heard of it? Haha... Zhao Nanshan, this old guy, really doesn't like to be in the limelight, but his strength was never inferior to mine," Li Mingqi snorted.
Chen Yuan was shocked. If he wasn't under Li Mingqi, wouldn't it mean that... this Zhao Nanshan was also a Ning Gang powerhouse?
Seemingly seeing the shock in Chen Yuan's eyes, Li Mingqi said calmly:
"That was only in the past. Now Zhao Nanshan is half-wasted and his strength is not as good as before."
"Yes...he is humble and ignorant. I have never heard of this person's name."
"There are many things you haven't heard of. Ci'en Temple not far outside the city and Linjia Village in Sishui Town have Ning Gang masters stationed there, but they are rarely exposed."
"I always thought that the Huang family was the number one power in Ping'an County..." Chen Yuan lowered his head and said.
"Huang Family? Without Ning Gang Warriors in charge, how can we be number one? It's just bragging..."
