Welcome to the Bizarre Games

Chapter 88 The Method of Training People
Upon hearing this, Magistrate Shi didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately replied.

"It's no big deal, you guys can handle it."

He was about to call out to the constables, but then he suddenly remembered something and changed his mind.

"Fine, I'll go with you myself, brother, so that Lady Bone can also see the results I've achieved."

—With your build? Could you even walk 800 meters?

But seeing Zhou You's puzzled look, Magistrate Shi simply waved his hand, seemingly indicating something to the constables.

The constables exchanged glances, their faces showing some difficulty, but in the end they all shook their heads helplessly.

What's going on here?
Before Zhou You could ask, several yamen runners went out, and then, with a series of clanging noises, the outer doors were deliberately dismantled.

Then the same men who had just gone out carried a huge object into the house, followed by even more constables.

If, probably, possibly, perhaps.
If Zhou You wasn't mistaken, it was a sedan chair.

The roof had been removed, making it a giant, oversized sedan chair.

The sedan chair was still decorated with gold and silver, exuding a nouveau riche vibe, but that wasn't the point. The point was that this thing was over two and a half meters in diameter—what kind of thing needed such a large area?
—Oh no, there's one right here.

Zhou You glanced sideways and, sure enough, saw several yamen runners run to Magistrate Shi's side. With their combined efforts, they finally managed to pull the obese body out from between the chairs. Then, holding their breath, they laboriously moved him to the side of the sedan chair and carefully put him down.

Then, the constables beside the sedan chair gritted their teeth and exerted all their strength at the same time. Several veins popped out on their heads and their faces turned red. Only then could they barely lift the sedan chair.

At this moment, the fat magistrate who was sitting upright slowly spoke.

"Let's go, be careful. And remember to leave a few people to watch the house. If anything goes missing, I'll skin you alive!"

As the words fell, the sedan chair slowly moved—but Zhou You also saw certain emotions in the eyes of the yamen runners carrying the sedan chair.

It was shame, anger, and the suppressed rage that had been held back for so long.

So the person immediately started rubbing their chin.

That's really interesting.

Zhou You refused Magistrate Shi's offer to provide him with a sedan chair, and instead relied entirely on his own two legs to walk with the group to the outskirts of the county.

He was still protected by the incantation of the Sanzhi Xiumo, and with the added benefit of the Yin Gui Shiyao Song, even after walking such a long distance, Zhou You's face was still not red and his breath was not out of breath.

On the contrary, the constables were all exhausted like dead dogs. Even though they took turns carrying the sedan chair, the ridiculous weight and the scorching sun had pushed everyone to their limits.

Even so, this group of people still dared not utter a single complaint.

In fact, to make Magistrate Shi more comfortable, they had to serve him attentively throughout the journey, offering him a pastry here and a cup of cool tea there. Two of the men who weren't carrying the sedan chair even had to run around fanning Magistrate Shi.

At first glance, it was even more comfortable than the room.

Zhou You, who was standing nearby, was also very curious, so he asked.

"Brother Shi, what exactly did you do? How come you've made these county officials act like your own servants?"

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Shi immediately laughed triumphantly.

"Brother, you're a monster, so you might not understand, but training people is actually pretty much the same as training dogs."

Upon hearing this, the fan beside him paused, and Magistrate Shi immediately lashed out with his whip. "What are you doing, slacking off? Do you want to end up like Wu Wenqing?!"

The constable shuddered and increased the pressure on his hands.

Then Magistrate Shi continued.

"You must never be too nice to them, or they'll stop working. You have to train them like dogs, give them dog food from time to time to keep them on a leash, so they're both afraid of you and grateful to you. Then pick out a few obedient and sensible ones to be your confidants and lead the rest of the group."

Zhou You suddenly interjected.

"Brother Shi, aren't you afraid that if these people are bullied to the extreme, they'll turn around and come after you?"

Magistrate Shi was stunned for a moment, then burst into a series of loud laughs.

"Brother, you don't know this, do you? Normally, it's impossible to suppress it to this extent, but the problem is that I'm not backed by the government, but by the Grand Duke Jupiter. Normally, many monsters and strange creatures reside in the county town. Who would dare to make a move? Aren't they afraid of being caught, skinned alive, and eaten?"

Zhou You nodded in agreement.

This is true.

In his opinion, the demons in this world are indeed much stronger than humans. Anyone like Bai Lu Tu Xu or Lady Bone could easily wipe out these constables.

That Xuan Yuan Taoist might be an exception, but based on what Zhou You had heard during this time, he was probably already dead.

Therefore, with these evil magistrates backing him, Magistrate Shi could indeed act without restraint, at least within this county.

—But...
Zhou You recalled what he had seen in the past few days and suddenly smiled.

But he didn't say much, instead lightly changing the subject.

"Speaking of which, I saw your house before, and it was truly opulent and extravagant, beyond words."

And so time passed little by little as they chatted.

After about half an hour, the group finally arrived at their first destination.

—That was a warehouse.

From the outside, it looks quite ordinary, with a gray-blue roof and brick walls, just like a place where ordinary merchants store their goods.
The large group of soldiers stationed at the entrance highlighted the unusual nature of this place.

Seeing Zhou You's curious gaze, Magistrate Shi casually explained.

“Brother, I know what you’re trying to say. It does sound like you’re trying to hide something, but I have no choice. A while ago, when the garrison wasn’t so strict, quite a few refugees sneaked in. Although most of them were dealt with, a few still managed to escape. Fortunately, these few were probably too scared to cause any major trouble. But just to prevent any accidents, I’ve specially sent more people.”

As they spoke, his sedan chair arrived at the gate.

The soldiers rushed over with smiles plastered on their faces, seemingly wanting to greet him, but Magistrate Shi immediately waved his hand arrogantly, signaling them to move aside.

"This guy and I want to check if there are any problems with our livestock production lately, so please open the door quickly."

The soldier in the lead hurriedly bowed and greeted Zhou You again, then took out a key from his waist and unlocked the heavy door lock.

And so, Zhou You was finally able to see the true face of this 'livestock workshop'.
