Chapter 446 [Songlin County Retired Emperor]

No buddy, are you a monster?

Qianmianlang only took a glance and immediately knew the strength of the two burly men. The barbarians were a very interesting race, with a strict internal hierarchy, and status was generally distinguished by tattoos and clothing.

People who have practiced Qi into their bodies can have a fox tattoo on their chests, those who have Qi flowing through their bodies can have a wolf tattoo, those who have Qi strengthening their bones can have a leopard tattoo, those who have Qi in their internal organs can have a tiger tattoo, and those who have Qi training can have an eagle tattoo.

Yes, that's right. In the barbarian's concept, those with wings and able to fly have a higher status than those who run on the ground. Moreover, the eagle is the barbarian's totem!
The headless man lying in the ruins outside the house had a tiger pattern on his half-exposed body. As for the man whose internal organs were pulled out, his chest was pierced and covered with blood, so only one tiger claw was exposed.

Good fellow, a native of the country who was in the Strong Root Bone Realm, could kill two barbarian Viscera Realm masters who were trained in the ice and snow without any damage. It seemed a little unbelievable.

"Nothing, just two barbarians."

"."

Qianmianlang was silenced by He Shengfeng's casual words.

"You said Hu Yanbo can be sold to Huo Ling, but can a barbarian from the Internal Organ Realm be sold?"

“I can’t sell any.”

Qianmianlang shook his head when he heard this. The Qi training realm and the internal organs realm are completely two different species. At the beginning, the prisoner-catching general Huyanbo, who was unable to mobilize the spiritual energy in his body, almost beat the three of them to death with just his physical body.

The wind from his punch had knocked the spikes of your hammer made of cold iron off balance. You can imagine how terrifying the opponent's body is.

Visceral realm?
Haha, do you know how many masters of the Internal Organ Realm are imprisoned in the dungeons of the Shadow Division in each state?

To put it bluntly, unless they were important figures, people below the Internal Organ Realm would basically be killed with one strike, saving the waste of cells and food.

"You two, Barbarian Viscera Realm masters, you have done a great job again. If you come a few more times, I'm afraid you will be transferred to Taiyue Mansion."

After Qianmianlang finished speaking, he changed the subject.

"As for me, I will also be transferred to Taiyue Prefecture in a few days to serve as the deputy of Tianshu in Shanzhou. From now on, you will be the only one left in Songlin County."

"."

Okay, it’s He Sheng’s turn to be silent.

Wu Ping was able to leave because of his merits and because he was his brother. Qian Mian Lang was able to leave purely because of his merits. Hu Yanbo was killed by Qi Zhi because he put in the most effort.

"But don't worry, before I leave, I will tell the next leader of Songlin County Tianshu to take good care of you. After all, I am the deputy leader of Shanzhou Tianshu. The future leader of Shanzhou will just have to wait quietly for the old leader to step down!"

No matter what organization it is, the people under them have to live under the orders of their superiors. What? You are asking about people with big backgrounds? People with big backgrounds are naturally superiors. How can they be pawns at the mercy of others?

"In that case, can I do whatever I want in Songlin County?" someone said as his eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that.

Now, there is still no county magistrate at the gate of the government. From now on, the people of Tianshu will have to look at his face. Add to that his status as a centurion of the centurion's office and his dragon-shaped robe. Tsk tsk, I can't think any further. If I continue to think further, he will most likely become lawless.

"Your boy?"

Qianmianlang didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this, but it made sense. The two most important departments in the Film Division, the two deputies of Husuo and Tianshu in Yizhou, were all big brothers who had been through thick and thin with him and had a close relationship with him.

Especially when one of the eldest brothers' eldest brother is a thousand households, he can really do whatever he wants.

"Ahem, don't go too far. At least after I take over as the commander of Shanzhou Tianshu, I can suppress the information about you committing a serious crime and then do whatever I want."

"???" This time, it was He Sheng's turn to widen his eyes. Well, you are indeed on my side, as expected of a life-long friendship.

If a big crime is committed, it will be suppressed. In other words, if a small crime is committed, can the deputy commander suppress it?
That's right, although the deputy commander has the word "deputy" in his title, he is still a commander. Moreover, the old commander is waiting to step down. Maybe Qianmianlang will have to take over the old commander's work as soon as he arrives at Taiyue Mansion. He is the deputy commander, but he acts as a commander.

"I have long wanted to take advantage of the wealthy families and gangsters in Songlin County. In the past, Brother Wu lived in peace with them and kept to himself. But I am different. My appetite is surprisingly big."

"."

No, why didn’t you say that we had big appetites when we were not deputies of a state?

"Don't worry, there will be no shortage of benefits from the two big brothers." You can't just eat meat for yourself, you must give enough benefits. Anyway, the money in the copy can't be taken out, and it's useless to take it out.

"."

I have a good appetite!

"Just do it. Just don't kill too many people. I'll take care of it for you." Qianmianlang patted his chest, looking like a loyal brother.

Wu Ping didn't care about money. When he was in Songlin County, he just collected a little bit. That was because he was rich, and his brother was a thousand households, so he was a little bit concerned about his reputation. At least, when Wu Ping was a hundred households, he only collected the money he should collect, and he didn't cross the line at all.

But Qianmianlang is different, he comes from a poor family, his family really doesn't have much money. But he is happy to have an extra source of income.

In the middle of the night, a black pigeon of a different species, with a special bloodline but not as good as the Tianshu pigeon in delivering messages, flew away from the Hundred Households Office in Songlin County.

The next day, early in the morning.

Wu Ping, who had just arrived at the Qianhu Office of Taiyue Prefecture, was yawning after performing his duties and was about to take a nap when a general flag-taker who was in charge of household intelligence came running over.

"Master Wu, there is news from Songlin County. Two barbarian masters in the Internal Organ Realm attacked and killed He Sheng, a centurion of Songlin County." Before he could finish his words, Wu Ping interrupted him immediately.

"Is my brother okay?!"

"???"

What, your brother.

If I remember correctly, there are only you and the Captain in this generation of the Wu family.

"say!"

"Reporting to the Lord, Lord He is fine. He even killed two barbarian visceral masters. We at Taiyue Mansion can go to the autopsy and verify it at any time."

Normally, no one dared to falsify information in the memorials submitted, especially those requesting merit. The Shadow Department was extremely cruel to those who falsified information. After all, the door could not be opened. Once it was opened, one could imagine what would happen.

"What?" Wu Ping was confused when he heard that.

No, you said that a person at the Qiqiang Gengu Realm killed two masters at the Internal Organs Realm, and the masters at the Internal Organs Realm were from the barbarians.

"Send someone to perform an autopsy. By the way, send a few general flags and small flags to my brother, and tell them that Captain He has paid a debt of his life to me, and they must show their identities." Wu Ping ordered.

"Yes!!"

The general flag responded and left quickly. It was not that the newly appointed deputy captain of Shanzhou did not trust his brothers who had a life-and-death friendship, but he had to go through the procedures.

Small achievements don’t matter, and no one will cheat on small achievements, which is really not worth the loss. For larger achievements, you must go through the procedures to prevent someone from using this achievement to attack you in the future.

In Songlin County, the wealthy families and gangsters suddenly found that the attitude of the current households seemed to be much tougher than that of the Hundred Households period. The gangs felt it most obviously.

Either this is not allowed, or that is not allowed. At one point, many people were arrested and sent to the prison of the Hundred Households. Of course, the arrested people could not protest. Because the reasons given by the captains of the Hundred Households to arrest people, they could not refute them. They really did it!
Three days later, the people in charge of the autopsy from Shanzhou, Taiyuefu, Qianhusuo, as well as ten small flags and two general flags, successfully arrived in Songlin County.

It's not that they are lazy. If they are not in a hurry, they have to rest along the way. It is normal to reach the destination in three days.

It was like Wu Ping leading fifty elite cavalrymen to arrive at Taiyue Prefecture from Songlin County in half a day. That was called a forced march. Besides, they were riding two horses each, so how could they not be fast?

"Listen, I'll explain again. Songlin County's centurion He Sheng is a brother of the deputy centurion. You all should put away your arrogance in Taiyue Prefecture, otherwise when the deputy centurion becomes a centurion, you will suffer."

One of the flag bearers in the team reminded.

"Don't worry, sir. We know what's going on. Lord Wu Ping is not a captain, but a deputy captain. If he gets angry, we will still be in big trouble."

The small flags in the crowd echoed. If their families had strong backgrounds, they would not have been sent to Songlin County to serve as small flags or general flags.

After a while, the current He Baihu received them warmly and friendly. When he learned that his brother had sent him twelve subordinates, two general flags and ten small flags, he became even more enthusiastic.

The strength of my subordinates was finally able to hold up.

Not long ago, he had thought about being ruthless and completely destroying the gang, but due to the lack of strength of his subordinates, he had to give up.

Of course, it's not that one person can't sweep away the enemy. No matter how many gang members there are, they are just rotten fish and shrimp. Several gang leaders are masters of the internal organs realm, and they are also traitors in front of them.

The problem is that if a violent conflict breaks out between the two sides, many of the officers and lieutenants under his command will probably die. Although those people were forcibly pulled into the team on the street, they have maintained public order in the county and patrolled 24 hours a day. Even if they have no merit, they have worked hard.

"Rest, rest, we will have a big operation tomorrow."

"Yes, it's all up to the centurion's orders."

Everyone stood up hurriedly and responded with a serious face.

The centurion in front of him was not just a relative, but a thigh that couldn't be any thicker. In the entire Shanzhou Shadow Division, who didn't know that the Shanzhou household was the head of the samurai family?

The ancestors of the two brothers of the Wu family, who had fought with their great grandfather through thick and thin, managed to get the position of a hereditary thousand households. Not to mention, there was also a hereditary earl.

As a guarantee, when Wu Ming is promoted, Wu Ping will have the final say in Shanzhou. Once Wu Ping becomes a thousand households, the hundred households in front of him will definitely be deputy thousand households.

They were a group of veterans who were "deputy thousand households". As long as their strength and realm improved, they could definitely become centurions. Even if they couldn't gain a foothold as a centurion in Taiyue Prefecture, which had many and complicated backgrounds, being sent to a county town to become a local emperor was also a great way.

He Sheng left with satisfaction, and called the team responsible for the autopsy and checking whether the credit was false, to the room in front where the barbarian viscera masters were stored.

The morning passed in a flash.

The team responsible for verifying the corpse left with the strength of two barbarian masters and returned to Taiyue Mansion.

When Mr. He returned to his own small courtyard, a captain came to report that arrangements had been made for the general flag and small flags coming from Taiyue Prefecture.

"Well, go to the warehouse to organize their equipment. When they have rested tonight, send their armor and weapons over. Also, suspend patrols tonight, so go to bed early. Report to the Hundred Households Office at 5 a.m. tomorrow. There is something important to do."

"Yes, my lord."

The captain turned and left the room, closing the door to block out the sunlight.

"Xiao Ma, you need to keep a close eye on those people you need to focus on. I want to see if they are really brave enough to collude with outsiders." As soon as he finished speaking, a man wearing a mask without any pattern on his face suddenly walked out from the corner of the room.

This person is none other than the new leader of Tianshu in Songlin County, codenamed Xiao Ma.

Of course, He Sheng knew his code name and had never seen him take off his mask.

"Don't worry, sir. I will complete the task." Xiao Ma's tone was... It couldn't be said to be humble, nor could it be said to be flattering. Anyway, it was the attitude of a subordinate facing a superior.

Judging from the rules and official positions of the Shadow Division, the two sides actually have the same status. The one with the surname He is a hundred households, and he is the leader of the Tianshu, both of them are officials of the sixth rank.

The question is who told Captain He to have a brother who is the deputy commander in Tianshu!
Especially the deputy commander, who is now doing the commander's job, just waiting for the old commander who is in charge of the entire Tianshu in Shanzhou to step down and take over.

"Work hard, I won't treat my people unfairly." He Sheng stood up and stepped forward, patting the other person on the shoulder. It should be said that Qianmianlang is a true brother.

Before leaving, he brought his pony with him. Basically, the Tianshu in Songlin County was under his management. He was the one who had the final say over both teams, both in public and in secret. He could not be called the local emperor of Songlin County, but the pure emperor emeritus.

Even if he did something out of line, he could still order Xiao Ma to stop it. If he was more ruthless, he could just destroy the intelligence and leave no evidence.

It's no wonder that Emperor Wu Taizu divided Husuo and Tianshu into the left and right pacification envoys respectively. It's true that the two departments were merged together and it became a nest of snakes and rats. They can discredit you if you are white, and turn black into white. It's terrible.

The next day, early in the morning, the officers who had finished their roll call found that some familiar people were missing from their surroundings. A rough estimate showed that there were about a dozen people.

"They are so bold that they didn't even listen to the orders of the captain. They went to a brothel to have fun last night."

"Hey, who knows."

Just as everyone was whispering, He Sheng arrived. He was not alone, but was followed by some people who were escorted in.

When everyone took a quick look, they saw that they were the ones who didn't show up for duty!

The crowd immediately began to become chaotic again and started discussing why those people were brought in.
