Chapter 259: Patrol failure should be punished!
"Why, you don't want to?" Shen Qing said with a frown when he saw Wu Sheng was slow to express his opinion.

"No, no. It's just that these wish beads and elixirs are forbidden items in the court. They are not easy to obtain. Sometimes you need to look for opportunities." Wu Sheng's tone was a little cautious, but sincere: "If you really need it, I am willing to do my best to help, but this deal..."

Shen Qing suddenly smiled and took out a stack of banknotes and put them on the table: "How is it?"

Wu Sheng took the banknote on the table, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He took a quick glance and found that there were as much as three thousand taels.

It is hard to imagine that before he and his family came to Yongzhou as "fleeers", but a year later he could easily take out a huge sum of three thousand taels of silver.

Being an official makes money too quickly!
Compared with them, Wu Sheng suddenly felt that his risky way of making money was very dishonorable.

In addition, he felt even worse when he saw that people who were not as good as him in the past were now doing much better than him.

He took a deep breath and suppressed his thoughts, maintaining a humble and respectful attitude and said, "Master, the Chief is indeed generous. In this case, I will keep the same price as before and give you four wish beads and three bottles of high-quality elixirs that can help you improve your cultivation."

"When will it be given to you?" Shen Qing asked with a satisfied smile on his face.

"I went to the capital not long ago and happened to have some stock on hand. When I go home to get it, I will arrange for someone to deliver the necessary items to your house."

"Then it's a deal. I'll wait for news from Brother Wu." Shen Qing stood up and said with a smile.

He walked to Wu Sheng's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, this is not our last time. If you have any good things like wish beads during this period, keep them for me first."

"Yes, my lord."

Wu Sheng was a little confused.

It is true that the Wish Power Pearl is a good thing, but it would take a Qi Hai realm martial artist about a year and a half to refine one.

Even two or three of them would be enough to refine into the Jade Meridian Realm for half a year.

Most people simply can’t use that much.

Why does he need so many cultivation resources at once?
Is it to be left to family members?
Wu Sheng couldn't understand.

Seeing Shen Qing leave, he breathed a sigh of relief and left the private room as well.

After returning from the private room, Wu Sheng sat back at the table, his expression becoming somewhat cold.

"What's wrong, Boss Wu?"

Wu Sheng woke up as if from a dream, put aside all those complicated thoughts, put on a strong smile on his face and said: "It's okay, come, drink!"

After a few sips of wine, he asked, "Brothers, let me ask you something. Have there been many major events at the Weiwu Division recently?"

"Boss Wu, what a coincidence! During the time you were in the capital, a lot of big things happened in Yongzhou, especially the Weiwu Division."

"What's the matter?"

The man who was speaking also followed Wu Sheng's example and kept the secret.

Wu Sheng got angry and kicked the other person, kicking the bench he was sitting on to the side.

The man sat down on the ground.

"If you have something to say, say it quickly! If you have a fart, say it quickly!"

"..."

The man sitting on the ground got up angrily and told the Weiwu Division everything that had happened during this period.

When he heard that Shen Qing had killed the eagle demon, the wolf demon, the cat demon, and even reported the arrest of Zheng Yuanqiu...

One thing after another was put in front of him, leaving him stunned and unable to react.

Wu Sheng couldn't help but shiver his face, pretending to drink several bowls of wine and trying to remain calm.

This guy is fucking awesome!
It’s really my fault for being too talkative. How could I have attracted such a great god at that time!
I'm afraid it will be difficult to do this gray business in the future.

Someone has the upper hand over him.

Wu Sheng's face turned bitter.

In the evening, Shen Qing returned home.

As expected, Wu Sheng kept his promise and delivered the promised wish beads and elixirs to Shen Qing.

He opened the wooden box and examined it carefully, and found that the wish beads and pills were genuine.

"After this initial cooperation, I'm sure Wu Sheng won't be able to refuse another deal with him in the future."

"In this way, part of the problem of cultivation resources has been solved. From now on, we can just practice seriously."

After solving the problem, Shen Qing felt a lot more relaxed.

As for Wu Sheng's refusal or breaking his promise in the future, he was not worried at all. People die for money and birds die for food.

No one has trouble with money.

In addition, the other party was doing such shady things, so it was easier for him, as an official, to control him.

……

A few days later.

It's approaching evening.

The early summer sunset turns into an orange-red fireball and slowly sinks into the horizon.

The sky is illuminated with a bright yellow glow.

In Xin'anfang, pedestrians are hurrying, packing up their stalls and luggage to go home. Children are playing and fighting, and the whole place is peaceful and quiet.

Suddenly, a scream was heard.

Then, chaotic footsteps and terrified shouts merged into one.

"He killed someone!"

"Killing!"

"Help!"

A burly man, with fanaticism flashing in his eyes, held a sharp knife in broad daylight and committed murder in the street, killing several people.

The blood dyed the stone pavement on the ground red.

After completing this shocking act of murder, the burly man did not flee, but instead held up a yellow flag and shouted: "The blue sky is below, the yellow sky is above, the Pure Land of Bliss, peace is in sight!"

His voice was like a loud bell, and the flag fluttered in the wind.

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the yellow flag aside, shuttled through the panicked crowd like a ghost, and disappeared at the end of the alley in an instant.

Shen Qing, who was practicing in the Weiwu Division office, hurriedly ended his practice upon hearing about this and rushed to the scene with Ji Youwu and other subordinates.

When he arrived, he found the street was already crowded with people.

When everyone saw Shen Qing arriving, they hurriedly made way for him.

Looking at the cold corpses lying on the ground, his face became as solemn as iron.

At this time, he heard a burst of pushing from behind him.

"Give way, give way."

"It's just a few deaths. People die every day in the city. What's so interesting about this? Get out of here."

Sun Ding, who was in charge of patrolling Xin'anfang, came over slowly with two officers, burping as he walked.

Under his official authority, the people gave way, lowered their heads, dared not join in the fun, and stayed away from him.

When Sun Ding saw Shen Qing standing at the crime scene, he was stunned.

"Master Shen!"

Shen Qing turned his head and stared at Sun Ding and said, "Chairman Sun, I remember that Xin'anfang is your defense area, right?"

Sun Ding's face turned pale and he said in a trembling voice, "Yes."

"It's not time to go off duty yet, and a rebel is committing a crime in broad daylight, openly challenging the majesty of the court. And you, as an inspector, actually let the murderer get away like this. Don't tell me, is this how you patrol on weekdays?"

"I I I..."

Faced with the iron facts, Sun Ding was speechless.

"If you fail to patrol properly, you will be punished!"

boom!
Shen Qing pointed his finger, and a red light fell on Sun Ding's chest.

Before Sun Ding could react to what was happening, he felt a stuffy and burning sensation in his chest and fell backwards.

He and his men were thrown upside down.

"I give you three days to arrest the murderer, or you will be fired! I mean what I say!"

Shen Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone carried the authority of an official that could not be refuted, and he was intimidating without being angry.

Blood oozed from the corner of Sun Ding's mouth. He quickly got up and knelt on the ground, saying, "Subordinate, I obey your command."
