What do you mean by "the game editor has also traveled through time"?

anyway.

Xu Shimo was not present at today's roll call.

But today's roll call was a little different from usual—there was an extra person, named Han Bingyi, who was the clerk for the Hongshoufang area.

This man was robust and sturdy, dressed in a dark blue uniform, and exuded an air of authority.

"I've come here today to say only one thing: from now on, gang warfare will be banned in the area I'm in. These thugs and hooligans are harassing people's livelihoods every day; what kind of order is this?"

"Of course, this is also Xing Gongcao's idea. If necessary, I will request assistance from the Embroidered Uniform Guard. We must beat these rats so badly they dare not make a sound."

Among the six departments' chief clerks, Chief Clerk Xing was in charge of military affairs and deployment, and the city garrison was also under his command.

After conveying his superior's orders, Han Bingyi glanced at everyone and angrily said:

"Only one of the three constables showed up for roll call today! Only twelve out of fifteen constables showed up. So this is how they usually work!"

After he vented his anger, a taxi driver who couldn't hide his weariness appeared—he was the only taxi driver present, and clearly, he was the Zhao taxi driver that Lin Jing had mentioned.

He said, "Sir, I am old and frail, and no longer able to fight. I am afraid I can no longer serve you."

Han Bingyi wanted to curse him as a coward, but seeing his half-gray hair, he ultimately sighed.

"Fine, you can leave now. Is there a suitable replacement for your position?"

It was just a casual question, but to everyone's surprise, Officer Zhao actually answered it seriously.

"This subordinate recommends Xu Shimo, a subordinate of Chief Lin. He is young but has extraordinary martial arts skills, comparable to Chief Wang."

"Does 'not inferior' mean they fought?" Han Bingyi suddenly became interested and asked, "Who won?"

"This...uh..."

Zhao, the constable, stammered for a moment, and the expressions on everyone's faces were quite interesting.

Who told this tyrannical constable, who was used to throwing his weight around, to try and establish his authority only to have someone thrown out of the house, and the injured part of his body was quite unsightly.

"It seems that this constable surnamed Xu has won," Han Bingyi said calmly.

Zhao nodded: "Yes, Your Excellency is wise, but..."

"Old man, shut up! I was just momentarily caught off guard; how can you say he won?"

Upon receiving the news, Wang Chang rushed over in a panic. As soon as he entered, he heard people talking about yesterday's incident. He turned pale with anger, and after paying his respects to the officer, he stammered:

"I...I...I tripped and fell yesterday, that's why I'm a little late."

"Um."

Han Bingyi immediately understood what was going on when he saw the bruises still on his face and his unnatural gait, but he didn't bother to care and simply said:

"Reassign Xu Shimo as a messenger and have him come to see me."

"Huh?" Wang Changren was stunned and immediately knelt down in fright. "Sir, I'm innocent! I've been working diligently and cautiously since I started this job, and I've never made a single mistake. Why are you dismissing me?"

Exactly the same words.

Yesterday's Xu Shimo, today's Wang Chang.

At this moment, Wang Chang felt nothing but regret, wondering where this Xu guy's background came from, and how he managed to alarm the magistrate.

Han Bingyi sighed and said, "It wasn't you, it was Zhao the constable."

Wang Chang then calmed down and turned to look at Zhao Chatou, who smiled back, revealing a set of kind yellow teeth.

"Where's Xu Shimo? Why hasn't he arrived yet? And Lin Jing, did those two go to a brothel together?"

—This happened in the morning.

At noon, the constables witnessed another major event.

The Five Poisons Gang and the Red Water Gang have started fighting.

Normally, it would be a trivial matter, something that wouldn't require much attention.

But things are different now; the officer just gave the order.

"What should we do? At this critical moment, Brother Mo and the taxi driver have both disappeared."

Lin Jing's subordinates were in a panic.

"I'll go check with the taxi driver again," Fang Jian said.

Lin.

Xu Shimo's eyes were completely blank at this moment, looking just like a silly goose.

Even after time-traveling, I still can't escape being pressured to get married?

Looking back on everything that had happened, he felt that it seemed to be true.

"I thought Chief Lin was giving me special treatment because he thought I was a rare genius, but it turns out he just wants to be my father," Xu Shimo thought to himself.

Lin Zhiyou stroked the wooden hairpin with her fingertips: "To be honest, I still don't know what I look like now."

"Like a lotus flower."

"Brother Shimo only says nice things. Who looks like a lotus flower?" Lin Zhiyou said reproachfully.

"That's because the lotus flower resembles you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyou couldn't suppress her smile, and a hint of laughter appeared in her eyes, which had been hidden by her eyelids for many years. "And what about you? What do you look like?" she asked.

"Me?" Xu Shimo thought for a moment, "Probably two eyebrows, two eyes, one nose, and one mouth."

"Who asked that!"

The young girl frowned, feigning anger.

"I...I'm rather ugly," Xu Shimo said again.

Lin Zhiyou: "It's okay, I can't see."

She narrowed her eyes, tilted her head, and rested her chin on her hand holding the wooden hairpin, saying:

"Perfect match, I'm shrewd in every way, and you're ugly in every way. Ugly as we are, we're kindred spirits. Such a perfect match is only found in heaven."

She was saying something from a play.

It means that I am stupid in everything, and he is ugly in every way. So what if he is ugly and stupid? We are very compatible.

To be honest, this line from the opera is quite fitting.

—If Lin Zhiyou hadn't mistakenly taken Xu Shimo's casual remark seriously.

"Young Lady, actually I..."

Xu Shimo was about to say something when a loud voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Chief Lin, Chief Lin! Something terrible has happened! The Five Poisons Gang and the Red Water Gang are fighting!"

It's Fang Jian.

"I'll go take a look." Xu Shimo stood up and walked outside.

Fang Jian was stunned when he saw this scene.

"Xu Shimo? What are you doing here? Where's Lin Chatou? You, You Niang...you, you all..."

In that instant, Fang Jian's mind went blank, and once his gaze fell on Lin Zhiyou's face, he couldn't look away.

Young lady is so beautiful. She's still the same as before, with her eyes closed, long eyelashes, and wearing a plain dress.

But now her hair is down, and she is holding a wooden hairpin in her hand, like a woman who has already married.

Xu Shimo didn't have time to notice Fang Jian's wooden expression and asked:

"What is it?"

"The Five Poisons Gang and the Red Water Gang are fighting, and the magistrate is gathering men." Fang Jian repeated, his voice gradually fading.

"Let's talk as we walk."

"..."

When I took two steps forward from the old willow tree in front of the door, a voice suddenly called out from behind me.

"Brother Shimo!"

It was Lin Zhiyou. She leaned against the door, her hands on the edge, her hair falling beside her face.

"Be careful, I'll wait for you to come back."

Xu Shimo turned around, paused for a moment, and then nodded.

"Um."
