Loan Wusheng

Chapter 19: He who can endure the trials of life is a true man, and he who is not envied by others is a mediocre person!
"Follow the natural law of Taoism, and help the dead souls to go to the afterlife; chant the mantras in the breeze, and wish the dead souls to rest in peace. Have a good journey without any hindrance, and be free from troubles from now on..."

The sutras for the salvation of the dead were recited in front of the bodies of the two Zhao brothers, but Zheng Jun was not interested in the ritual. Instead, he was calmly investigating the crime scene.

Zheng Jun wanted to see if there was anything he had missed.

If there is, the evidence can be destroyed on the spot.

While Zheng Jun was investigating the house, a police officer came in from outside with a smile on his face and said to Zheng Jun flatteringly: "Captain, the confessions around us have been sorted out. Please take a look."

Although Zheng Jun had not been officially appointed as the squad leader, the imperial guards of the Zhenfu Division had spoken, and since this squad leader was not an official of high rank, it could be said that he was almost certain to be appointed.

Zheng Jun took the testimony handed over by the police officer and looked at it carefully.

There is not much difference.

All that was mentioned in these confessions were the sounds of fighting and screaming.

And it was vague and hard to hear clearly.

It basically has no impact on me.

In this case, Zheng Jun was completely relieved.

"Yes, take the testimony back to the government office."

Zheng Jun nodded, looked back at the body on the ground, and said, "Zhao Da and Zhao Er are colleagues after all. Since no one is collecting the bodies, let's find a straw mat to wrap them and bury them outside the city."

"As for the corpse of Qin Hang, send it back to his relatives at Lin Gongfang."

After saying that, Zheng Jun hinted at some of the money in Zhao Er's family, basically meaning that everyone could just divide it up privately. Then he took the testimony and other things to the county government office, ready to close the case.

They were all killed by Liang Fan.

The perpetrator has been brought to justice.

……

Yamen prison room.

It was already noon and the registrar Xu Heng had been staying in the classroom. Although he was extremely anxious inside, he appeared to be calm and composed.

He knew that someone would die last night.

Last night's murder was orchestrated by him!
In order to win over the Zhao brothers, he asked them to secretly contact the Qingshui Gang's patron, the famous 'Wave-Taking Bandit' Lou Wei, and have him go and kill the police officers who were patrolling the streets of Lingongfang these days, so as to throw the dirty water on the Qingshui Gang.

When the county lieutenant arrived, he directly wiped out the Qingshui Gang on the pretext of attacking and killing the yamen officials and constables, giving the newly appointed county lieutenant a big gift.

After all, the county lieutenant is a descendant of a prominent family. He comes to this remote Heishan County for a while. After a few years or even months, he will be promoted and leave.

If you are favored by this county lieutenant, your future will be limitless!

But what surprised Xu Heng was how the Zhao brothers died, and how they died from the Treading Sword. What on earth was going on?
And Zheng Jun and Zhou Pu, who were on the list, were not dead...

This made Xu Heng feel very confused for a moment.

What surprised Xu Heng even more was that Zheng Jun had actually completed the entry level and mastered the blood refining technique!

How many days has it been?

How did he refine blood? !

Xu Heng felt uneasy, and the police officers around him also had complicated expressions, not knowing how to describe this horrifying news.

"..."

At this moment, a slender young man in police uniform slowly walked into the yard.

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned over.

The young man had a heroic appearance and sharp eyes. Noticing that everyone's eyes were on him, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

When he raised his eyebrows inadvertently, a chill spread across his body, and Xu Heng sat up in surprise.

The young man's blood and energy burst out all over his body, like a flaming furnace, and his face was full of vitality, which really made Xu Heng, who had been refining blood for many years, feel his scalp tingling.

This majestic and rich vitality is just like the rising sun, illuminating the whole room!
In comparison, Xu Heng even felt ashamed of himself and felt a little uneasy.

Although he was timid, Xu Heng still took the initiative to greet him, smiling: "Zheng Sanlang, what a great kung fu!"

"Lord Dianshi."

Zheng Jun bowed. The Dianshi was a ninth-rank official, the head of all the clerks in the county government. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the chief steward of the county government.

Of course, you have to be polite.

"No need to be so polite, Zheng Sanlang."

Xu Heng forced a smile and then took out a coin bag: "This ten taels of silver is the reward given by the county lord for Sanlang's arrest of Liang Fan."

"Isn't it five taels?"

Zheng Jun was a little surprised. He took the silver without hesitation and asked, "Why is it twice as much?"

"The extra five taels are the money for Xu He Sanlang's promotion to the head of the class."

Xu Heng said, "Just now, we received a letter from the Pacification Office, recommending Sanlang to take over Zhao Da's class and be the leader of the Zhuangban. I have reported this to the county magistrate, and he has approved it. From today on, Zheng Sanlang will be the leader of the Zhuangban!"

Hearing what Xu Heng said, the jailers and constables around him looked at each other in bewilderment and could only come forward to congratulate Zheng Jun and present him with congratulatory money.

People around came forward to congratulate him, and Xu Heng breathed a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly.

With Zheng Jun's incredible talent for refining blood in ten days, he would probably be able to enter the realm of accumulating energy in a few years, and would definitely be a powerful outer Gang master in charge of a region in the future!
With such a monstrous talent, it is better to resolve the feud than to create one.

As long as the other party doesn't know about this, it can be as if nothing happened.

Anyway, Zhao Da and Zhao Er are already dead.

"Thank you for your kindness. I am young and I am impatient. I hope you seniors can give me more guidance."

Zheng Jun bowed his hands to express his thanks, and spoke quite humbly.

Taking over Zhao Da's position this time was an unexpected surprise.

Although it would cause people to hate him, Zheng Jun didn't care.

A true man can endure the trials of life, and a mediocre person is one who is not envied by others!
The duties of the Zhuangban were to guard the government offices, guard the warehouses, go to the countryside to collect taxes, suppress civil unrest, escort the imperial supplies passing through the country, and maintain public order.

There are no more than twenty men under the Zhuangban, but every year all the corvée laborers in the counties must be assigned to the Zhuangban, plus the guards organized by each township all have to wait for dispatch. Therefore, if Zheng Jun mobilizes them, three to five hundred people will not be a problem.

In addition to this, the Zhuang class has another characteristic.

In peacetime, they serve as civilians; in wartime, they serve as soldiers.

In other words, if a war breaks out at this moment and the court mobilizes troops, in addition to the 300 infantrymen and more than ten light cavalrymen in the Heishan Guard in Heishan County, the militiamen in the strong squad will also be mobilized. Zheng Jun will be promoted on the spot and appointed as the "head of the militia."

Although it seems that there are many responsibilities, it also means that the Zhuangban can make a lot of money.

This is also the reason why Zhao Da is rich.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jun bowed again and said to Xu Heng: "Sir, I didn't sleep all night last night, and I also killed Liang Fan. I am really tired. I would like to take half a day off. Please grant me permission."

Upon hearing this, Xu Heng immediately agreed and said amiably, "Sanlang, take a good rest. I will take care of the rest of the finishing work."

After getting the leave, Zheng Jun did not delay. He turned around and left amid everyone's congratulations.

Only after stepping out of the county government office did Zheng Jun let out a deep breath.

I finally put my mind at ease, feeling a lot of relief.

From today onwards, the death of the Zhao brothers has nothing to do with me.

After dealing with all these things, I did feel exhausted.

This fatigue does not come from the body.

After all, after mastering the standing meditation, your qi and blood will increase, and your muscles and bones will be opened. Unless you fight all night, you will not feel tired.

This feeling of fatigue comes from the heart.

Killing is fun, but paying off debts will result in a crematorium.

How should I return this Wave-Trampling Sword?

As soon as he thought of this, Zheng Jun silently visualized the "Great Dao Martial Book" in his heart, and immediately two lines of small ink characters appeared.

[Full of vigor and vitality, I will kill the common man with my sword! Repayment progress +14, current repayment progress: 14/3000. ]

[On the brink of life and death, a desperate fight! Repayment progress +584, current repayment progress: 598/3000. ]
