After listening to Li Mingqi's story, Chen Yuan finally truly understood the situation in Ping'an County. It turned out that there were still so many Ninggang strong men who were not showing up.
Ci'en Temple, Linjia Village, Sanhe Boxing Gym...
Especially Ci'en Temple and Linjiacun, their strength should not be underestimated!
He had wondered before, why the Huang family, the largest family in Ping'an County, was wiped out so easily. How could it be called the number one?
Now I finally understand.
That's just random boasting by people who don't know the truth.
It is true that the Huang family, which has two masters of bone refining, is very strong, but without the Ning Gang master, it will be destroyed in the end. Only with the Ning Gang master can they truly compete in Ping'an County.
Of course, if the Huang family is not destroyed, then the Huang family, which possesses the Marrow Cleansing Spirit Pearl, will have the opportunity to give birth to a strong Ning Gang, but there is no such thing as...
"I'm telling you this to let you understand that the county government is not as strong as you think, and... the Wusheng Cult thieves have been restless recently. The most important thing for you to do when you become the head catcher is to find The traces of those thieves.”
Li Mingqi looked at Chen Yuan with an eyebrow and said.
"You must do your best in your humble position."
"Besides these, the Beihai Gang in the north of the city will be left to you to deal with. Whether it is destroyed or surrendered, I will charge you two hundred taels of silver per month." Li Mingqi turned the ring on his right hand.
Chen Yuan was a little shocked. Li Mingqi actually asked for bribes openly and did not hide it at all. He told himself before he took office. He suddenly felt that maybe this was the reason why Li Mingqi met with him tonight.
Two hundred taels of silver!
This is not a small sum, it is the salary he earned as a government servant for more than ten years, and this is only for a month.
That’s two thousand four hundred taels a year.
You know, even from the Huang family, it is said that only more than a thousand taels of cash were found.
Even though Chen Yuan extorted twenty Tiger Bone Pills from Tie Qinghua, which were worth more than two hundred taels of silver, this was a one-time deal, let alone two hundred taels. Even if it was one hundred taels, he would get it every month. If you want it, Tie Qinghua can’t get it out.
Money is not that easy to earn, but now that Li Mingqi has opened his mouth, Chen Yuan cannot refuse, nor can he refuse!
He guessed that maybe the officialdom was like this layer upon layer of exploitation. Most of the two hundred taels of silver a month would have to be given to the city. In fact, Chen Yuan was not wrong. The fact was that it was so cruel.
Seeing that Chen Yuan seemed hesitant, Li Mingqi's face turned slightly cold and he said:
"What, are you having trouble?"
Chen Yuan took a deep breath and said quickly:
"No, I can definitely do my humble job."
Li Mingqi then showed a smile, stood up, patted Chen Yuan on the shoulder and said:
"That's right... Haha, go back first. From tomorrow on, you will be the new head catcher of Ping'an County!"
"Yes, I resign from my humble position."
Chen Yuan nodded and turned around to retreat.
Looking at Chen Yuan's back, Li Mingqi suddenly touched the tea cup at hand.
"boom!"
The cup shattered and tea stained the ground.
Chen Yuan suddenly turned around and was shocked. There wouldn't be a swordsman ambushing him here, just waiting for Li Mingqi to throw the cup into the ring, right? It shouldn't be...
Li Mingqi stared at Chen Yuan and suddenly smiled:
"The Blood Accumulating Pill has not been taken away yet."
Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief:
"Thank you, sir."
Then, Chen Yuan stepped forward and put the porcelain bottle into his arms, turned around, opened the door and left the room.
After Chen Yuan walked away, Li Mingqi withdrew his gaze and tapped his fingers on the table.
North of the city.
Chen's courtyard.
Chen Yuan placed the porcelain bottle containing the Blood-accumulating Pill on the table, squinted his eyes and recalled what had happened before, and was speechless for a long time.
After a while of silence, Chen Yuan stopped thinking about those trivial matters and turned his attention to the Blood Accumulating Pill on the table, with a flash of enthusiasm.
...
The next day.
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight fell in front of the window. Chen Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes. A trace of light flashed through his body. The golden paint on his body slowly disappeared into his body, and his originally fair skin began to turn into a bronze color.
After a night of practice, Chen Yuan not only did not feel tired at all, but was in high spirits.
During this night, Chen Yuan devoured and refined four blood-accumulating pills. With the help of this medicinal power, he successfully completed the third blood refining and was ready to start the fourth blood refining.
The strength of the whole body has increased a lot again.
It was originally impossible to practice at this speed, because the human body has its limits and it is impossible to practice all the time. He had had this problem before refining the Tiger Bone Pill.
If you can only refine one Tiger Bone Pill in a day, you will feel a bulging sensation.
But perhaps because of the Marrow Cleansing Spirit Pearl, Chen Yuan could continuously refine it for one night, and the quality of his practice was greatly enhanced. In the past, he could only absorb 70% of the power of a tiger bone pill.
But now, he can feel that 100% of the power of the Blood Accumulating Pill is acting on his body. In this way, he can complete a blood refining with only four Blood Accumulating Pills.
Without marrow cleansing, Chen Yuan would have needed at least six pills to refine his blood this time.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan became even more impatient to plunder luck again and get a chance.
The first chance guidance was the Vajra Glaze Body from Ci'en Temple, which enabled him to practice one of the top body-refining magic skills in the world. The second chance was the Huang family's marrow-cleansing beads, which greatly enhanced Chen Yuan's cultivation talent.
So what will be the opportunity next time?
Chen Yuan is looking forward to it!
It's a pity that he has been wandering around Ping'an County for most of the time, and he hasn't found anyone with luck.
Once upon a time, Chen Yuan also guessed that every living person should have luck to some extent or another, but the Celestial Eye Technique ignored it at all.
No matter how many people were killed, nothing would change.
Later, he felt that maybe this 'luck' had other secrets that he didn't know about.
Standing up from the bed, Chen Yuan tied up his yamen clothes and did not wear a long knife on his waist. His long knife was destroyed in Wu Yushan's hands and he originally needed to apply again.
But now there is no need, because he has become a head catcher and will have a new official uniform and sword.
After walking out of the small courtyard, Chen Yuan had some breakfast at Zhouji Baozi Shop as usual, and then rushed to the county government office.
Although the place where Wang Ping lives is also in the north of the city, it is basically not on the road. Except for the occasional company, Chen Yuan actually goes alone most of the time.
Capture the house.
As soon as Chen Yuan walked in, a young government servant came forward and cupped his hands:
"Captain Chen, your official uniform and sword have been delivered to the room."
"Thanks for your hard work..."
Chen Yuan nodded slightly and kept walking. All the government servants on the way came forward to say hello one by one, for fear of being half a step slower than others.

The performance of a book needs to be measured by follow-up reading, monthly votes, rewards, and chapter reviews.
It would not be possible without the support of all the big guys.
I hope everyone can click on the latest chapter and comment on it. There is really nothing to say. It’s okay to complain about the author for a long time...
In addition, please ask for rewards for monthly passes, recommendation votes, etc.
Also, I heard that deducting one is not necessary for kidney deficiency!
