Tang Feng stood up, gave a slight salute to the captain, then turned around and said to many merchants present: "Today's merchant meeting begins now."

After the words fell, Tang Feng glanced around for a week, and then said: "I think everyone already knows that Xia Chengzong is seriously injured, and it is difficult to do a good job as the patrol captain. Therefore, we only have one topic this time, which is to discuss the candidate for the new patrol captain Originally, the patrol team was directly under the captain's jurisdiction, and the captain should be personally appointed by the captain. However, the patrol team's protection of the city's law and order is extremely important to our merchants, so the captain gave special permission, and the candidates for this time will be discussed and decided by each merchant! "

As soon as Tang Feng's words fell, there was a buzz of discussion in the hall. Although the captain was present, no one dared to talk about it, but the whispers among the merchants also made the scene a bit noisy.

The lieutenant was in the main seat, with no expression on his face, but after hearing Tang Feng's words, a cold light flashed in his small eyes.It was a helpless move for him to allow the merchants to nominate the patrol captain this time. His hard-core subordinates, the thousand-man guards in charge of the three city guards, could not move at all. He watched helplessly as the Tang family took advantage of a loophole.

Tang Feng turned around and bowed his hands to the captain, feeling a burst of pride in his heart. Although he was a tax officer and was under the direct management of Dingjiang County, his subordinates had no military power and could only rely on the captain for everything.The status in Pingshan City is also very different from that of the guarding school captain.

A few days ago, Tang Feng sent Tang Mingxuan to the City Guard Army on the grounds that he needed to suppress bandits to protect the interests of the merchants, and took charge of a centurion, but this did not help him control the merchants in the city.So this opportunity is extremely important to him.

After a while, everyone's discussion slowly disappeared, and Tang Feng continued: "There are only two conditions for selecting the patrol captain this time! First, the net worth is clean. Second, the martial arts must be high-level or above. Everyone's heart As long as there is a suitable candidate, feel free to propose it, and the final ownership of the patrol captain will be decided by the contest!"

As soon as Tang Feng finished speaking, a person stood up in the front row of the merchant and said loudly: "Our Zhang family recommends a person named Zhang Ning, who is a side branch of my Zhang family. His family background is absolutely innocent, and his cultivation has reached the high level of the military!"

Although Zhang Kechuan is in charge of the arena, but that is only his personal position. As a big family in Pingshan City, the Zhang family also owns several shops, so their Zhang family also has a part in this merchant meeting.

After the members of the Zhang family spoke, another person stood up: "My Chen family also nominated a man named Chen Tao, who is the great elder of my family. Not to mention his wealth, his cultivation is also a high-ranking martial artist!"

Afterwards, another person spoke loudly: "Our Xu family also recommends a person named Xu Shiguang, who is the younger brother of my Patriarch, with a clean family background and a high-level military training!"

After the selection of these three families, the scene fell into silence.In Pingshan City, high-ranking armed forces are already not low in force, and ordinary families will not easily let them be dispatched.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the scene was still calm, Tang Feng said, "Since no one has been elected, Zhang Ning, Chen Tao and Xu Shiguang will be selected for the position of patrol captain this time. Although my Tang family also has shops, But as a tax officer, I should avoid suspicion, so I will not participate in it!"

When the captain heard this, Yuanyuan's face twitched, and the invisible sneer flashed away.Among the more than a hundred merchant representatives below, a few snorted coldly.Tang Feng's first wife is the Chen family, and the Chen family has long been secretly attached to the Tang family. Although not many people know about this, it is not a secret.

The captain stood up at this time, and said lightly: "Since the personnel have been selected, then the Zhang family, the Chen family and the Xu family should go and bring the recommenders here. This is the end of the morning, and the formal competition will start in the afternoon! In addition, Send someone to Xia's house again, and if Xia Chengzong has not arrived before dusk, he will be dismissed immediately!" After saying that, he walked towards the layman.

Xia Zhanhong didn't know what was going on at the business meeting. He was currently giving his father a massage to help him regain his strength as soon as possible.

After a full meal in the morning, Xia Chengzong fell asleep peacefully at the request of his son, and it was noon when he fell asleep.After getting up, I took some medicines to regulate the body.At this moment, under Xia Zhanhong's massage, the power of the medicine quickly dissipated and penetrated into the flesh and viscera. He felt that his state was gradually returning to the state before the injury.

It was noon soon, and Xia Yubing came to greet the father and son for dinner again.Just then, the knock on the door sounded again.

"It must be the lieutenant who came to pass the word of mouth, I'll go and have a look!" Xia Chengzong stood up and was about to walk out.

Xia Zhanhong hurriedly stopped him, and said in a low voice: "Father! Don't move, I'll go! Now they still think that you are still seriously injured. You must not show your face now, lest the Tang family be alerted."

Without any explanation, Xia Chengzong was forced to sit on the chair, Xia Zhanhong turned and walked out of the room.

Opening the gate of the courtyard, it was the city guard who came this time, and said with a blank face: "The captain ordered Xia Chengzong to rush to the tax hall to attend the merchant meeting. If he doesn't arrive before dusk, he will be dismissed on the spot!" After finishing, he turned around and left, but this time he didn't even say hello.

Xia Zhanhong returned to the house, Xia Chengzong hurriedly asked: "Zhanhong, what did the messenger say?"

Xia Zhanhong smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I'm urging you to attend the business meeting. Ignore him, I'll give you another massage after dinner, and we can go before your strength recovers from the injury."

After noon, a group of merchant representatives returned to the lobby of the tax hall, and the three contestants had already arrived.

Afterwards, Tang Feng and Xiaowei arrived one after another.However, Tang Mingxuan, who was still here in the morning, disappeared in the afternoon.

After taking his seat, the captain looked across the audience and found that Xia Chengzong hadn't arrived yet, so he couldn't help frowning slightly.After pondering for a while, he said lightly: "Tax officer, you can start!"

Tang Feng nodded, stood up and came in front of everyone, and said loudly: "Zhang Ning, Chen Tao, Xu Shiguang step forward!"

The three of them had been waiting by the side, and when they heard Tang Feng's call, they hurried forward and bowed together, "Greetings, Captain, Mr. Tax Officer!"

Tang Feng nodded, looked at the three people in front of him, and secretly smiled in his heart: "Old fox, do you think that the Xu family is sincerely cooperating with you! Hehe..."

"The position of patrol captain this time will be selected from among the three of you! You must use your heart and strength in the competition later, but remember not to shoot too hard and hurt your opponent's life!" Tang Feng said here, paused slightly, and then continued. : "The first round is a strength test! The high-ranking soldiers are all above a thousand catties. There are three stone locks outside the hall, which are one thousand catties, two thousand catties, and three thousand catties. In this round, one person will be eliminated! You go! !"

Warriors have the strength of a thousand catties, and they are talking about the strength of a full blow, not the weight that can be lifted.Therefore, it seems that lifting the stone lock is not difficult for high-level military soldiers, but in fact it is not easy at all.

The three of them bowed their hands to the captain and Tang Feng, turned around and walked to the entrance of the hall, where three big stone locks had already been placed.

Zhang Ning was the first to step forward, bent down and grabbed the heavy stone lock, and with one arm struggled, he yelled, "Hi!" and lifted the stone lock firmly above his head.

Afterwards, Chen Tao, who played second, also lifted the stone lock smoothly.

Xu Shiguang, who was the third to play, held the stone lock tightly with both hands, but exhausted all his strength, his face was flushed, and he only lifted the stone lock to his chest.

The lieutenant was sitting in the hall, and he could clearly see the competition at the door. At this moment, his face was extremely gloomy, and his round face was almost drawn into a long face.He is a martial arts school, so everyone's strength can be seen clearly. Xu Shiguang seems to have exhausted his strength, but in reality he has reservations.At this moment, he finally realized that he had been tricked by the Xu family, and they and the Tang family were of one mind.

Tang Feng sat on the chair with his legs crossed, holding a teacup in his hand and drinking slowly, with a smile on his lips.It wasn't until Xu Shiguang failed to raise the stone lock that he slowly put down the teacup, stood up and announced: "Xu Shiguang is eliminated, and the position of patrol captain will be taken by the winner of the contest between Zhang Ning and Chen Tao!"

In the subsequent competition, there was almost no suspense. Zhang Ning failed to block all three moves and was defeated by Chen Tao.At this time, not only the captain, but even some family representatives could see that the Zhang family and the Tang family were definitely related.

Tang Feng smiled all over his face, turned to the captain and said, "Lord Captain, Chen Tao has already won, do you think it's time to announce that he will be the patrol captain!"

The lieutenant stood up silently, staring at Tang Feng quietly, his face was clouded, not to mention that he was taken away from the position of patrol captain, and he was also calculated by others, which can be described as a disastrous defeat.If there is still a ray of hope right now, it is that Xia Chengzong has not arrived yet, but according to the news brought back by the city guards who summoned him, Xia Chengzong might not even be able to get out of bed now.

Taking a deep breath, the captain's expression slowly returned to indifference. He nodded to Tang Feng and said, "Okay! Since the patrol captain selected this time is recommended by a merchant, then you can announce it!"

Tang Feng declined with a smile: "The patrol team is under the jurisdiction of the captain, how can I do it for me!"

"The tax officer also knows that the patrol team is under my management!" The captain sneered, ignoring the sarcastic Tang Feng, and walked a few steps forward to the front of the hall.Although he didn't want to, he had no choice but to announce it now!

"The candidates recommended by all the merchants, the final winner is Chen Tao! Because the current patrol captain Xia Chengzong has accumulated a lot..."

Before the captain finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall door: "Who said my father will never return!"
