I'm the only player

Chapter 428 [He Xiaoqi]

He Sheng hoped that when he woke up the next day, the death of one of the only two general flags of Songlin County Film Bureau had not happened. He put the five hundred taels of silver notes "borrowed" from the Black Tiger Casino in his arms, and immediately went to the Hundred Households Office to report after dinner.

When he pushed the door of the Hundred Households Office and walked in, the clerk was calling out the names of the people.

"Wang Erniu."

"arrive."

Someone answered and the clerk began to underline the name on the register.

"Liu Yifan."

"arrive"

"Zhang Cheng."

"arrive."

"."

After a while, the clerk shouted.

"Congratulations!"

"To!"

Everyone's eyes were immediately focused on him. The news of last night's incident had spread throughout the entire Hundred Households Office. Who didn't know that a captain named He Mingsheng had single-handedly killed the wanted criminal escort who had committed several murders?

After the clerk looked at him carefully, he made some marks on the Mao book with a red pen.

"At noon, come back to our centurion's office. The centurion wants to see you."

"Yes."

After he finished speaking, he turned and went to his team's room.

The Hundred Households Office was not a decoration, nor was it a simple place to report for duty. Each captain under the flag bearer had his own large room, not a single room. The separate room was reserved for the superiors.

After he left, a group of people couldn't help but talk about it.

When Zhang Xiaoqi finished his check-in and arrived at the door of the room where his team was, he found a group of people gathered together, seemingly talking about something in a very heated manner.

As I walked in, their voices rang in my ears.

"Brother Sheng, you are really amazing! You actually managed to kill such a fierce and vicious man."

"Hey, thanks to the flying kite crossbow fired by our Yingsi."

"I know. I heard from the brothers in the station that it was a fatal shot."

Zhang Xiaoqi walked up to them and asked.

"What do you mean by killing him with one arrow?"

Everyone turned around and saw that it was their boss, and they started calling for people one by one.

"grown ups!"

"Little Flag!"

"Sir, don't you know? Last night, the escort who committed many murders in Songlin County was killed by Brother Sheng. He was shot in the throat with a flying kite crossbow."

Yesterday, the captain who gave the information about the wanted criminal said with great joy. This person is considered to be a gossip in the 100-household unit. He has many friends and relatives. He is not only well-informed about the news in this county, but also has many eyes and ears in several counties near Songlin County.

It is said that he was born from a branch of a large family, but unfortunately his family fell into poverty in his early years. Although his family is not very prosperous now, he was born from a branch of a large family, and he has many rich and poor relatives.

"Oh?"

Zhang Xiaoqi's eyes immediately changed when he looked at He Sheng. It was not like he hadn't heard it yesterday. The escort was a person who had practiced Qi into his body, which was equal to his own realm.

I never expected that a man who was promoted from a strongman to a captain just a few months ago would now be a person who has practiced Qi into his body.

"Then should I call He Xiaoqi?" Zhang Xiaoqi made a joke, which immediately attracted the other nine people to cheer, and they lined up and called out He Xiaoqi one by one.

"Brother Sheng, when I was on duty just now, I heard someone say that the captain asked you to meet him at noon? Do you have enough money in your pocket?"

The captain of the centurion unit came to inquire and ask.

"Master Baihu wants to see you?"

"Han Ze, what does it mean if the money is enough?"

Upon hearing this, the others couldn't help but ask.

The gossiper, that is, Han Ze, smiled.

"You don't know yet, right? Yesterday, Wang Xiaoqi, nicknamed the Stone Opener, who was under General Wang's command, was killed by the escorts who were ambushed in his house when he was off duty in the morning after his night patrol. Not only him, but all five of his family were killed."

There was no further words said, and it was obvious that the whole family was brutally murdered.

"So, there is a vacancy for a small flag officer in our centurion's office. According to the rules of the Shadow Division, Brother Sheng has made contributions and his ability is not bad. If he gives the centurion some money to bribe him, the small flag officer position will be in his pocket."

"."

Everyone was silent.

There is a saying that goes, "I am afraid that my brother will suffer, and I am also afraid that my brother will drive a Land Rover." Now that the He family is about to drive a Land Rover, it would be strange if they were happy.

Little flag!

As a seventh-rank official, he supervised ten people and had greater opportunities to make contributions. The county magistrate of Songlin County was only a seventh-rank official, which shows the value of the small flag.

Moreover, if they had encountered that escort during the daytime patrol yesterday, even if any one of them killed the other party single-handedly, most of the credit would still go to Zhang Xiaoqi. This is the advantage of being an official.

"Patrol, patrol."

He Sheng chose to be vague about this. He couldn't tell Han Ze, the gossiper, that he had scraped a lot of silver from the escort yesterday. And he had also gone to the Black Tiger Casino and "borrowed" another 500 taels of silver, right?

Thus, the whole morning passed with everyone feeling heavy-hearted.

At noon, everyone finished their meal outside and continued patrolling. He went to the Hundred Households Office alone to meet the highest-ranking official in Songlin County.

In the Shadow Division, the rank of a centurion was the sixth rank, and they were the backbone of the imperial court. As soon as he entered the centurion's office, a strong man who had been waiting came forward to lead the way.

During this time, Li Shi showed an envious look from time to time. You know, the other party was his "colleague" a few months ago, doing odd jobs in the Hundred Households Office together.

As a result, he became successful in the blink of an eye, so who can he turn to for justice?

"Sir, the centurion is inside."

After saying that, the wrestler retreated obediently, not intending to establish a relationship. When he was a wrestler, at most he had superficial friendships, but now he had no face to establish a relationship, not only could he not establish a relationship, but he would also be embarrassed.

"come in."

Perhaps the voices of the two outside the door were heard by the captain inside, and a middle-aged man's voice was heard in the room.

"Squeak!"

He Sheng pushed the door open and walked in.

The layout of the room is very simple, like a study.

The centurion sat behind the table, put down the pile of documents in his hand, picked up another pile, and flipped through them one by one. It is worth mentioning that there is a piece of color on the left side of the table, which is obviously lighter than other places.

"grown ups!"

"He Sheng, the captain who was transferred from Li Shi three and a half months ago is following Zhang Shan's path." The captain asked without raising his head.

"Yes."

Zhang Shan is one of the two general flags under the centurion, and Zhang Xiaoqi is one of the five small flags under Zhang Shan.

The rules of the Hundred Households Office are very interesting. The small flags are not eligible to transfer the captains under them. Only the Hundred Households and the General Flags can do things for money. The two General Flags are in charge of their own stalls and cannot interfere with each other's teams.

"He has a good talent and has been practicing Qi for more than three months. Now Wang Li has a vacancy for a small flag. How much can you offer? In addition, I have to tell you that there is a lieutenant under General Wang who also wants to fill the vacancy of a small flag."

"."

It should be said that the simple and direct words of the centurion are indeed a bit speechless. You officials, when you ask for money, can you consider your words, at least be more elegant. "Sir, I will give you five hundred taels."

After saying this, he respectfully placed the silver note he had "borrowed" from the Black Tiger Casino last night on the table.

"Oh, it looks like that escort master has plundered a lot of people's money."

The captain stretched out his left hand, slapped the banknote, and dragged it away with a smile.

"."

Got it!
He Sheng finally figured out why there was a spot on the left that was lighter in color than other places. It turned out that you had scraped off a lot of the color of the table while collecting money.

The demise of the Ancient Yu Kingdom was not at all unfair.

"Tomorrow morning, come to the Hundred Households Office on time. The position of the small flag will be yours. Wait a minute, go home and wash up, and be energetic when you take office tomorrow."

"Yes, my lord."

The captain waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.

After leaving the centurion's office, they headed straight for Zhang Xiaoqi's patrol team. Although the centurion had given them a day off, they still had to tell them.

It was easy to find the person, and it didn't take long. I had been patrolling every day recently, and I knew exactly where I went at what time.

After talking to Zhang Xiaoqi, he went straight back home.

I have finally got a rest, so I must practice the "Tong Xuan Jue" with all my strength and repay the debt to the "Advance Future System".

In the blink of an eye, it was midnight.

"call--"

He exhaled a large breath and prepared to rest.

Of course, I took a look at the Future Cognition System before going to bed.

"Once I'm promoted to flag bearer tomorrow, I'll have more time."

During the more than three months that he served as a captain, when no bloody incidents occurred, his superior Zhang Xiaoqi would usually go to the Hundred Households Office to report for duty in the morning, and then lead the ten men under him for a walk, which would take about half an hour, and then he would return to the office.

As mentioned before, the Hundred Households Office is not just for decoration, there are private rooms for small flags and general flags. Therefore, the people above tacitly approve the slacking behavior of small flags and general flags.

After all, if you want to get along well in the Ancient Fish Country, you need to have a strong fist. If you don't let the flag bearers practice and improve their strength, and just leave them patrolling the streets every day, wouldn't that ruin their future?

The next day, He Sheng wore armor and went to the centurion's office with a rosy face. This time, unlike in the past, the centurion arrived early. He announced his promotion to the small flag in front of everyone.

Afterwards, he personally led people to General Wang’s room.

"I leave it to you."

After the voice fell, the centurion left.

"He Xiaoqi."

Wang Li did not take He's promotion through his connections with the centurions seriously. He was just a general flag officer, so he could not eat the food of a "small flag officer". At most, he could eat the food of a "captain" under his command.

"Come on, I'll take you to meet Wang Xiaoqi's captains."

Since the escort was killed, there was no need for intensive patrols from today onwards. As a result, the five flag officers under General Wang had a much easier time.

In the Hundred Households Office, the two general flags were responsible for patrolling during the day and at night respectively. Among them, General Flag Wang was responsible for all matters at night. Of course, he was not in charge all the time. Every six months, the two sides would switch.

"General flag!"

"grown ups!"

General Wang took the lead, pushed open the door and walked in.

When a group of captains in the room saw the general flag, they immediately stood up and called out respectfully.

"Let me introduce you. This is the new Xiaoqi appointed by the captain. I don't need to tell you, but I'm sure you all know who he is. Speaking of which, He Xiaoqi has avenged the blood feud of your master Wang Xiaoqi."

After a pause, General Wang continued.

"As for me, I have some official business to attend to. You should familiarize yourself with it."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"He Xiaoqi, thank you for avenging Wang Xiaoqi's family."

"Sir, don't worry. There is not a single one of the ten of us who would disobey you. We were talking about this yesterday. When we are free, we will invite you to have a meal at the best restaurant in the county to thank you for helping you to avenge Lord Wang."

"Xiaoqi, from now on we will do whatever you say. We brothers will definitely follow your lead."

A group of people came forward, each expressing gratitude or loyalty. No one was dissatisfied and stepped forward to provoke or anything like that.

Even if someone is really dissatisfied, they will not stand up and confront him head-on. Are you kidding? Do you understand the value of the word "Shangguan"? If you ignore the conflict and let it happen, you will never be promoted in your life!

When any team achieves merit, the lion's share will go to the superior officer, and the rest will naturally be distributed by the superior officer. If you offend your superior officer, forget about achieving merit. In the future, you won't even get a share of the money collected, and you'll be crying in poverty.

He Sheng also smiled and greeted everyone.

After everyone got to know each other for a morning, he invited ten people to have a meal at Xiankelai, the best restaurant in the county. He paid the bill, and the other ten people didn't even argue.

The meal and drinks lasted from noon to almost two o'clock, leaving little time for everyone to rest.

"In the afternoon, go home and have a good sleep. After all, we still have to be responsible for the night patrol in East City at night."

"Yes!" X10.

He returned to the Hundred Households Office alone and began to practice in his own small room. To be honest, the room allocated to Xiaoqi by the Hundred Households Office was exactly the same.

There is a separate bedroom, and the bedroom door leads to the study. It is called a study, but it is actually an office. It is just not so "official" in layout, but more like an ordinary family's study.

He sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice "Tong Xuan Jue".

Around six o'clock, slowly finish the exercise.

[Repaying: "Tong Xuan Jue" - 54/1000. 】

It was not yet night, and the Hundred Households Office, which had not been quiet for a long time, became lively again. All the people on duty and those off duty had arrived, so how could it not be lively?

He Sheng left the room, and after checking in, he walked to the large room belonging to their team and pushed the door open.

There were ten people in the room, chatting with each other.

"grown ups!"

"Little Flag."

"Well, let's go. Tonight, I'll have you take me to familiarize myself with the routes in East City."

Eleven people, armed with crossbows, lanterns and other items, began patrolling. About half an hour later, he walked through the patrol route of East City and became familiar with it.

After that, it was natural to return to the Hundred Households Office.

Generally speaking, Songlin County only has a peak crime season during major festivals, and only then do the captains need to be led by the flag officers at all times.

After all, even if there are two crossbows in a team of ten, there may still be casualties.

"Practice, practice."

It's a little after seven o'clock now. By six o'clock tomorrow, I can repay the "Tong Xuan Jue" at least twenty-two times.
