Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1367 Asking the Heroine for Help Again
Nanshan City is the largest city in the southern part of Yuezhou State and the only large city on the road leading to southern Xinjiang.

Rare medicinal herbs from southern Xinjiang all pass through here, and the fertile, flat land and pleasant climate also allow Nanshan City to grow rapidly.

But there is a very serious problem in big cities, which is that public security is difficult to maintain.

There are no more than a hundred police officers in Nanshan City's government office, and not many even if you include the yamen runners, but they have to manage a huge city like Nanshan.

This is equivalent to a modern street police station managing the public security of an entire city. You can imagine how difficult it is.

But if the county magistrate wants to increase the number of staff, he cannot do so on a impulse. Unlike yamen runners, constables have a regular position and their salaries are paid by the court. The county magistrate has no say on the scale of the police. If he wants to expand the scale, he has to apply to his superiors.

And this is where the drawback lies. The higher-ups have no idea whether there are enough yamen runners, and it all depends on luck as to how many places can be approved.

Since the number of constables cannot be increased at will, what about the yamen runners? There is no quota for them.

Indeed, to put it bluntly, yamen runners were people who did odd jobs in the yamen, and many people from lowly families would choose to become yamen runners.

However, there was a limit on the number of yamen runners. For those exceeding the limit, the county magistrate would pay their salaries out of his own pocket.

Not to mention whether the county magistrate can afford to support him. Even if he can, why should he use his own money to support people who work for the state?

The public security in Nanshan City has always been a problem. There have been no major cases, but there have been a lot of small cases. The detectives are busy almost around the clock, but they still can't finish them.

Why is Captain Zhang known as the Death Chaser?

The main reason is that he is highly efficient and is one of the most powerful detectives, but when it comes to kung fu, he is only at the 3-star level in the underworld.

Although there are problems, Nanshan City can still get by in its current state. At worst, we can just make the report sound more miserable, try to get more vacancies, and then slowly increase the number of constables.

However, this situation is not enough if an emergency occurs.

Detective Zhang came to Wujiazhuang to borrow someone.

Recently, there have been many reports from the public, saying that they saw sneaky people roaming around at night, and even one person's dog was killed after barking a few times.

The death of a few dogs is not a big deal, but the problem is that the dogs were dead all night and were not discovered until the next day.

This means that if the thief can kill the dog without anyone noticing, he can naturally kill people as well.

There were also rumors of people going missing. Although it was not known whether they were true or not, the people of Nanshan City were in a panic during this period.

There are more than a hundred constables in total, distributed to every corner of Nanshan City. Not to mention whether they can handle patrolling during the day and working overtime at night, even if they can handle it physically, the constables cannot beat those sneaky thieves.

Generally at times like this the government would ask the army for help, or look for nearby martial arts sects.

If it is the former, then the matter will become a big deal and will definitely be reported to the higher-ups truthfully. No matter whether the matter is resolved or not, the county magistrate will definitely be charged with poor governance. It is unlikely that he will lose his official hat, but forget about promotion.

The latter...

Unfortunately, there are no martial arts sects around Nanshan City. The nearest one is Ye Zi Sect, the one that wields dual swords, but it is also half a month's journey away.

Since distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, Captain Zhang could only ask the nearby gentry for help and think of a solution.

Not only Wujiazhuang agreed to help, but local tyrants and gentry nearby also lent a hand and sent some people to help the captain of the police patrol the streets.

However, most of the local tyrants and gentry were just there to join in the fun, and the people they sent had no martial arts skills, and at most they only had some strength.

As night falls, Nanshan City sheds the hustle and bustle of the day and enters silence.

"It's dry and dry, be careful with the candles!"

The night watchman was holding a lantern and knocking on the clapper. He seemed a little scared. After all, Nanshan City was not peaceful. He was alone on night watch, so he would be panicking. As for why Li Chengxi could tell that the night watchman was panicking, it was because Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi were hiding at the corner of the intersection where the night watchman passed by. With the help of the shadows, the night watchman had no idea that there were two people hiding there.

It is true that Nanshan City is a big city, but it cannot be compared with modern cities. The lights are turned off at night, especially late at night.

Especially when dark clouds cover the stars and the moon, it is literally pitch dark. At this time, hiding a few people is just a piece of cake.

What Captain Zhang meant was that the guys who came out to cause trouble in the middle of the night were quite skilled in martial arts, and the bailiffs and captains might not be their match, but Nanshan City was too big, and no matter how good Yang Yiyi was at fighting, it was impossible for her to monitor the entire city.

The two of them crouched in the shadows and waited for the patrol to discover the situation and give a signal, then they would jump out and rush over.

"You really want to get involved in this kind of shit."

Li Chengxi yawned:

"That captain won't give me any money, so why risk my life?"

"But Brother Li, you promised..."

"Yes, I did agree, but I still have to say it."

After all, it sounded like this was not any more dangerous than going to Southern Xinjiang or the Western Regions. Yang Yiyi really wanted to be a hero who eliminated evil for the people. With this in mind, Li Chengxi certainly wouldn't let her stay there.

And from what Captain Zhang said, this matter might be somewhat related to the Liu family, but Captain Zhang could not reveal a single word and could only rely on guessing.

The matter between Yang Yiyi and the Liu family will have to be resolved sooner or later. Li Chengxi is not in a hurry. If he was really in a hurry, he would have sent down a saint long ago. Anyway, the Liu family is right next to Nanshan City.

Li Chengxi's meaning has always been that when our Yi Yi's magical powers become perfect, all the dogs in the Liu family will be given to you, so there is no rush.

But this matter is related to the Liu family, so it’s okay to take a look at it in advance. Anyway, they won’t be able to jump around for a few more days.

Of course, precisely because of his relationship with the Liu family, in order to avoid any unexpected developments, Li Chengxi deliberately went to bed early, got up in the early hours of the morning and sat in front of the computer to watch Yang Yiyi's operations.

We were chatting idly when we suddenly heard someone shouting in the distance.

Wu Shaoyi had good hearing, so she listened carefully:

"We found the thief, let's go!"

When Yang Yiyi heard this, she turned around, picked up Wu Shaoyi's wheelchair, rushed out from the shadows, and immediately rushed towards the direction of the shouting.

This Nanshan City is indeed very large. It is true that the sound can be heard in the silent night, but the source of the sound is quite far away.

When Yang Yiyi rushed over, she heard more and more footsteps rushing in one direction, and at the same time there seemed to be the sound of weapons colliding.

When the two men flew over a family's yard and arrived at an intersection, they saw many people sent by nearby gentry holding sticks and fighting with a group of masked men in black.

At first glance, there were quite a lot of men in black, but the number of thugs sent by the local tyrants was even greater.

Are there so many sneaky people as Captain Zhang mentioned?

Li Chengxi was a little puzzled, and felt that it was a small number of people who were causing the trouble.

However, Yang Yiyi didn't think much about it and rushed in carrying Wu Shaoyi and the wheelchair.

She is still as reckless as ever.
