Chapter 1 The Chief Constable of Wangyou County

Chapter 1 The Chief Constable of Wangyou County
Dayong, Wangyou County.

"Drink Dayong Forget-Worries Wine, beat up relatives and friends, how much is a pot? It's a generous one tael and five mace."

"Roasted yam, delicious and fragrant roasted yam, even my mother said it was good."

"Candied hawthorn berries are delicious and inexpensive."

"Savior of cowards, tonic for men's kidneys, good for you and good for me, holiday special offer, buy one get one free, care for your marital life, and care for yourself even more."

As dawn broke, the ancient streets of Wangyou County were already filled with stalls, bustling with noise and the sounds of hawking and bargaining.

"Ta Ta Ta Ta..."

Heavy footsteps came from ahead.

The group of people were dressed in official uniforms, with a short stick and a knife tucked into their waistbands on the left and right sides respectively.

They are patrolling the streets.

They were the yamen runners and the armed forces of Wangyou County.

They are responsible for various aspects of order, patrols, and traffic in Wangyou County.

The leader was nine feet tall (one foot is 25cm), with a handsome face, imposing appearance, a robust physique, and strong limbs. He exuded a powerful and oppressive aura with every movement.

Wherever his eyes fell, no one dared not bow their heads in fear of his might.

Because he is Lu Yuan.

The chief constable of Wangyou County.

He is known in the martial arts world as the Blood-Handed Butcher, Lu the Demon Lord.

Lu Yuan, a native of Shanghe Village in Wangyou County, was born amidst strange phenomena of ghostly wails and howls, which the villagers considered an omen of bad luck. He was abandoned in the countryside and adopted by a passing blacksmith, who named him Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan was born with immense strength. At the age of two, he was able to tear apart tigers and leopards with his bare hands and fight off a pack of wolves alone.

At the age of ten, he lifted a stone lock weighing ten thousand catties, overpowering all his competitors with his childlike body and becoming a constable in Wangyou County.

At the age of twelve, he single-handedly tore apart three mountains and six strongholds, totaling 1,200 bandits, in three days, making him famous and promoted to head constable of Wangyou County.

At the age of fifteen, he single-handedly stormed Mount Qingcheng with only a sword, cleaved the Qingcheng Gate with his sword, tore apart the sect leader Qingchengzi with his bare hands, arrested a wanted criminal of the imperial court, and was promoted to the chief constable of Wangyou County. From then on, his fame spread far and wide. Due to his cruel methods, he was known in the martial arts world as the Blood-Handed Butcher, the Demon Lord, and the Lu Demon Lord.

Five years have passed since Lu Yuan returned from Qingcheng Mountain.

In the past five years, Lu Yuan seemed to have disappeared into obscurity, with little news about him circulating in the martial arts world.

Those newly minted martial arts heroes probably never imagined that such a remote little county town would harbor a legendary figure who once shook the martial arts world.

……

"Vendors, please pay attention to your location. You are not allowed to set up your stall outside the white line."

"Those who violate this rule will be fined five taels of silver."

Lu Yuan walked to a stall selling handmade wood carvings. The vendor was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old. When she saw Lu Yuan stop in front of the stall, she was so frightened that she dared not move.

Lu Yuan pulled out his short stick and bent down.

It gently tapped the ground.

"Your stall is outside the designated area."

"Take it back, or you'll be fined."

Lu Yuan's voice was flat, revealing no emotion.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll get it back right away."

Mu Xiuxiu quickly pulled at the mat on the stall. Seeing that Lu Yuan got up and did not impose a fine, Mu Xiuxiu breathed a sigh of relief.

"How much did that wood carving cost?"

Lu Yuan suddenly stopped and turned around to point to the wood carving in the corner of the stall.

This wood carving depicts a swallow, but the craftsmanship is crude, wasting such fine material.

When Mu Xiuxiu saw the direction Lu Yuan was pointing, she was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head in embarrassment.

Because it was her work, and due to its rough carving, far inferior to her grandfather's craftsmanship, it had been on the market for several months without anyone wanting it, so she placed it in a small corner.

"Five, no, one penny."

"One penny?"

"One penny."

Lu Yuan took out five coins and handed them to Mu Xiuxiu, then picked up the wood carving.

"Give my regards to your grandfather."

The constables behind Lu Yuan also took out copper coins and bought the wood carvings from Mu Xiuxiu's stall.

"Thank you."

Lu Yuan waved without turning his head.

Mu Xiuxiu's father was Mu Ma, who was once the chief constable of Wangyou County. He took good care of Lu Yuan. Five years ago, the imperial criminal Wushuang Jianyu Shi appeared in Wangyou County. Chief Constable Mu Ma led a group of constables to pursue and capture him, but was killed.

His head was hung on the city gate.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan flew into a rage. Ignoring all attempts to stop him, he single-handedly stormed Qingcheng Mountain. With only his sword, he nearly wiped out the entire Qingcheng Mountain sect. Of the three thousand Qingcheng disciples, two thousand were killed or wounded. The sect leader, Qingchengzi, and all the elders perished, and the sect's lineage was almost completely severed.

From then on, Qingcheng Mountain declined, and its presence vanished from the martial world. Lu Yuan was promoted to Grand Constable, and his fame became unparalleled in the martial world.

……

"Hey Chief Constable, good morning! Have you eaten yet? Here's a steamed bun for you."

"Thanks."

"Chief Constable, we have a new dancer from the Western Regions at our shop. You must do us the honor of meeting her."

"No thanks."

"Chief Constable, please, do me the honor, I'm available too."

Just as the madam of Cuiyuan Tower was about to take advantage of him, the constable behind Lu Yuan quickly stepped forward and blocked her groping hands with his body.

"Liu Cuihua, I'm warning you, if you dare to lay a hand on our Chief Constable again, I'll shut down your shop right now, you believe me?"

"Sexual harassment of public officials is illegal."

"This humble servant dares not, dares not."

……

The sun was high in the sky, blazing fiercely.

Tea stall.

Lu Yuan and his group found a place to sit down and rest.

"Boss, the Six Doors have sent another order."

"I heard what Master Su from the yamen said when I went out."

"It was Liu Sheng, the constable, who said in a low voice."

"The Six Doors? Are they trying to transfer our Chief Constable again?"

"Dream on, hahaha."

"How many times has this happened this year?"

This is the sixth time this year.

"After being rejected countless times, the Six Doors still sent me a transfer order."

Don't they feel ashamed?

"Ha ha ha ha."

Upon hearing this, the group suddenly burst into laughter.

Lu Yuan didn't laugh; he simply had no interest whatsoever in the transfer order from the Six Doors.

The Six Doors is one of the three judicial departments of the Great Yong Dynasty, in charge of all cases in the country, and specializing in handling gang conflicts in the martial arts world.

It is also the end point for the constables of Dayong.

Every constable of the Great Yong Dynasty is proud to join the Six Doors.

Except for Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan became a constable not for fame, fortune, or righteousness; he simply wanted to find himself a stable job so he could take care of Old Man Lu in his old age and see him off in his final days.

As it happened, Old Man Lu had a past relationship with the magistrate of Wangyou County, who used his connections to help him register for the constable exam and become a constable.

Close to home, 9 to 5, can leave anytime.

The county magistrate was also Shishu.

We're family, so it's easy to talk to each other.

As for his appointment to the Six Doors, he was promoted, made a fortune, and rose through the ranks.

That wasn't part of his life plan.

He only wanted to be a Brahmin in the county town, not a beast of burden in the capital.

……

As the group rested, another group of people approached from the end of the street.

When the head constable in charge saw Lu Yuan, he immediately stepped forward, took out an arrest warrant from his pocket, and handed it to Lu Yuan.

"Chief Constable, I've finally found you."

"This is a newly received arrest warrant from the government."

"We received a message from above that this wanted criminal will pass through Wangyou County in three days. We are ordered to ambush him and assist the Six Doors in arresting him."

Lu Yuan accepted the arrest warrant.

The wanted poster depicts a person with a round face, dark and rugged skin, a single eye, and a noticeable scar on their forehead.

"Black Star Scar, a renegade of the Kunlun Sect, has raped and murdered countless young girls. In mid-last month, he attempted to abduct Princess Nanyang, but failed. The Six Doors have listed him as a top-level criminal."

"A reward of three thousand taels of silver is offered, regardless of life or death."
