Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 12 The sound of wind and rain at night

As soon as Liu Fu left, a gust of dampness came from outside, and a heavy rain started in the middle of the night, accompanied by a whistling wind, disturbing the originally quiet night.

While busy sorting out case files, Yang Qian took some time to make some adjustments to the panel experience he gained after the killing spree.

60 experience points is a considerable income for Yang Qian, so he has to calculate it carefully.

The first thing Yang Qian considered was the key to counterattack when he intercepted the Liu family convoy: "Wind-Chasing Step".

If it weren't for the treacherous and unpredictable nature of this body movement, Yang Qian would definitely not be able to control the situation in such a short time. If a few people had escaped, the situation tonight would have been very different from what it is now.

Moreover, the body skills are only at the "entry level" now, and the experience points required to improve the realm are the least, which seems to be the most cost-effective.

But after much thought, Yang Qian finally gave up the idea of ​​spending experience points on "Wind-Chasing Steps".

Because the benefits of upgrading "Wind-Catching Steps" now may not be as great as it seems.

It's not that Yang Qian underestimated the magic of "Wind-Chasing Step", but because "Wind-Chasing Step" has never been a martial arts method that exists alone. It is different from "Rough Bull Strength" and "Ox Tail Knife Eight Styles" in Yang Qian's hands. It is a method that needs the support of true qi to be used.

The problem now is that although the Wind-Chasing Step is powerful, it consumes enough Qi that Yang Qian can barely use it. Not only does his body movement consume energy, but his sword skills also consume energy. Even if he uses all his strength, he can only last for a meal.

If the level of "Wind-Chasing Step" is raised again, the consumption will inevitably increase along with the mysterious improvement, and some of the demands will exceed those for Yang Qian.

But if you add experience points to the inner cultivation of "Bull's Strength", it would be a waste. Because the current experience points of "Bull's Strength" are "15/80". Even if you add all 60 points, it is not enough to improve the realm, and you can't maximize the benefits.

So after a thorough review, the most suitable sword technique is the most inconspicuous one at first, "Eight Styles of Oxtail Sword".

Firstly, swordsmanship is still Yang Qian's main means of attack at present. Secondly, the experience points in his hand are more than enough to upgrade the "Eight Styles of Oxtail Knife" to a higher level, which is in line with the purpose of maximizing benefits.

After making the decision, Yang Qian's mind moved and changes appeared on the experience panel.

"Eight Styles of Oxtail Knife": Great Mastery 0/160
"Bull's Strength": Mastery 35/80
"Wind-Catching Steps": Getting Started 5/20
Available Experience: 0
[Congratulations! After years of hard practice, your "Oxtail Knife Eight Styles" has reached the peak. From now on, this knife technique is free to use in your hands without being bound by moves. It has no form but shows its meaning, and is extremely exquisite! ]

60 experience points raised his swordsmanship level, and at the same time made a big improvement on his inner cultivation of "Rough Bull Strength". Only "Wind-Chasing Step" was not something Yang Qian was in a hurry to improve for the time being, as he felt it was enough.

Closing his eyes, Yang Qian felt the profound enlightenment after his swordsmanship was improved. Then, the corners of his mouth curled up and he continued to work on the task at hand, writing documents.

It was not until dawn that Yang Qian put down his pen, stretched his wrists and neck, and finally finished the formal document.

Just as he stood up, the door of the squad room was pushed open from the outside, and Liu Fu walked in with an excited look on his face.

"Master Liu, the paperwork is done, please take a look"

"I will let the people below take over the paperwork. Come with me to Liuzhuang now. We are going to conduct a thorough search there!"

"So fast?"

"What's so fast about that? The yamen master has issued a warrant, and the chief constable has received it. Within the scope of Sandao City, it is the law of the land. Let alone the Liu family, who would not have surrendered?

"Okay, let them handle the case, and you follow me now." Liu Fu took the case from Yang Qian and handed it to two unfamiliar scribes who came in behind him. Yang Qian saw the "Judicial Department" sign hanging on the waists of these two people, and he understood everything at once.

The Judicial Office is the right-hand man of the yamen master, responsible for coordinating all matters in the yamen. In other words, as long as the yamen master wants to take over a matter, he can intervene through the Judicial Office.

Now it seems that the master of the yamen wants to handle the rest of the matters personally.

Seeing Liu Fu constantly giving him looks, how could Yang Qian not understand?

"Is there anything missing?"

"To reply to this gentleman, no more. All the confessions and case details are here. There is no backup."

"very good."

When Liu Fu saw the other scholar take the things, he took Yang Qian and turned away.

As soon as they left the house, Liu Fu put his arm around Yang Qian's shoulders and said in a low voice, "This time the chief constable has sent our B squad to search the Liu family. I will be the lead and you will assist. You should understand the ins and outs of this, right?"

"Master Liu, please enlighten me." Yang Qian could guess some of it, but he didn't know all the details. He couldn't pretend to know at this time.

Liu Fu did not shy away from saying anything, lowering his voice and whispering in Yang Qian's ear: "The rule in the big search is that 70% of the money is taken out. The 30% that is taken out will be rewarded to the people below. Of course, the people below are actually a small part of the money, and the real big part will go back to the top, but after a while, it will not be taken out of the account.

In addition, land deeds, house deeds, etc. will all be recorded half of the account, and the removed part will not be included in the account on the grounds that it is "not detailed". When the time comes, it will be handled uniformly by the Judicial Department, and will be passed down layer by layer, and no one will be left out.

I have made this very clear and straightforward. I will not tell you this again in the future. Do you remember this?"

"Thank you, Master Liu, for your advice. I've made note of it!" Yang Qian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the tricks here were not difficult to understand. In fact, he thought he had already taken very light measures. It was impossible not to share the profits of such a big piece of fat meat with the people who were doing the work, right?

Eat the meat on top and drink the soup and gnaw on the bones below.

But there is a difference between drinking soup and bones. There is a difference between watery soup and thick soup, and between bare bones and meaty bones.

Being assigned to be in charge of the large-scale search is undoubtedly like being fed with thick soup, meat and bones, which is also the reason why Liu Fu is so excited today.

It’s nothing special, it’s just so fat that it’s oozing with oil.

When we arrived at Liuzhuang, the situation there could only be described as wailing everywhere.

The family of the richest man in Liuzhuang fell to the bottom overnight. Not only did it collapse, but they were already stuck in a death cell.

Listen to the wanted notice posted in the government office: Liu Chengkun and his gang are wantonly colluding with mountain bandits and evil spirits, helping the evil bandits to sell stolen goods.
There are a lot of other crimes that I am too lazy to listen to. Just the first one of colluding with bandits and evil spirits is a heinous crime that warrants the execution of all nine generations of the clan.

The people in Liuzhuang were panicking, but there were also many voices of gloating. Normally, they dared not show it, but now that such a serious crime had been committed, no matter how powerful Liu Chengkun was, he would not be able to do anything, so naturally they laughed unscrupulously.

However, just when everyone thought the situation was settled and Liu Fu and Yang Qian were ready to immediately begin a search of the Liu family, a team of armored soldiers with guns suddenly arrived with murderous intent. Without saying a word, they surrounded the entire Liu family farm, trapping dozens of government officials, yamen runners and constables inside.
