Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 20 The Chief Constable Calls You Over

It was called a rest day, but in reality Yang Qian couldn't walk far. In this world, unless one was a fairy who could fly on clouds and mist, it was extremely difficult to travel far, let alone "travel". It would take one or two days to walk a hundred miles, which was a fart.

So apart from wandering around, the only thing I can do is sleep.

However, Yang Qian did not choose to do either of them, but chose to practice martial arts in the small training ground behind the government office. He now had a new feeling about the three martial arts he had, and planned to practice them well during the few days of rest.

Especially "Catch the Wind Step".

After reaching perfection in "Rough Bull Strength", the increase in true energy also allowed Yang Qian to pursue higher physical abilities.

Since there is no experience at hand, practicing hard is also a way to improve the level of physical skills, but it will be much slower.

When Yang Qian had used up most of his internal energy and was preparing to find a place nearby to meditate and recover, a familiar yamen runner came to the parade ground, looking around, and quickly found him.

"Yang Qian, come with me quickly, the chief constable wants you to come over!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Qian had no time to rest. He turned over and got up, brushed off the dust on his body, and without even having time to wipe the sweat off his body, he quickly followed the yamen runners and left the parade ground.

Chief Constable Wang Hai is a burly man with a scholar's long beard. His temples are already gray. I heard that he is already fifty-seven years old this year. If he continues to work for a few more years, he will almost retire.

Although he was old, Wang Hai had great prestige in the government office. First, he was a native official of Sandao City, and everyone had to give him face. Second, he was said to be the best master in the government office of Sandao City. But it was unclear what level he was at.

But Wang Hai's bulging temples made Yang Qian realize that he was definitely a master who had cultivated true qi, much more powerful than him. After all, Yang Qian's "Rough Bull Strength" had already reached perfection, and his temples were only slightly bulging, far from Wang Hai's appearance.

When he got a little closer, Yang Qian even felt a sense of oppression.

"Your subordinate greets the Chief Constable!" Yang Qian bowed.

"Well, I wanted to wait until you were done with your rest before looking for you. But the people below said that you were practicing martial arts in the training ground. Oh, it's a rare time for you to rest at home, but why did you come here to practice martial arts?"

"In reply to the chief constable, I have not yet settled down, so I can only wander around or sleep during my days off. It would be better to practice martial arts and exercise."

Wang Hai smiled and said, "That's right. To make a living like us, we need to have martial arts skills. Bandits, evil spirits, and bugs can all kill us. The harder your hands are, the longer you will live.

It's no wonder that you were able to turn the tide in Liuzhuang this time. It really made our police station proud. The yamen master also praised you highly. Very good!"

"I have only done my job, I don't deserve such praise from the Chief Constable!"

"You should praise me! The atmosphere in the police station is not good now. They basically just go through the motions when investigating cases. They investigate what can be investigated, and leave the difficult ones alone. When they encounter troubles, they don't fight or think of solutions, but just lie down and let others laugh at them.

Just like this time, Liu Fu was tied up without even a scratch on his skin. Isn't this just lying flat on your back? If you hadn't held on until the yamen master and I came, the Liu family's case would have been ruined long ago. How could there be any more stories?"

What's next? Yang Qian's heart moved. Liu Chengkun's death was inexplicable, and Song Qixun should have gotten away with it. But from what Wang Hai said, there must be something else going on?

"Humph, Liu Fu should remember this favor from you!"

Yang Qian could only bow his head and remain silent. Wang Hai could criticize Liu Fu, but he couldn't, and it was even more inappropriate.

"So, the police station still needs people like you to change the atmosphere." As he spoke, Wang Hai pointed to the stool next to him and motioned Yang Qian to sit down and talk.

Yang Qian did what he was told to do obediently, sitting on the stool with his back straight. "Zheng Ming from the C squad is going to retire next month. The vacant C squad has not yet been assigned a replacement for the head constable, and Old Zheng has no one to recommend, so the police station is going to promote one from the current constables.

Yang Qian, you have performed very well recently, and Liu Fu has also strongly recommended you to me. Are you willing to take on more responsibilities?"

Finally getting to the point, Yang Qian quickly replied decisively: "I am willing to help the Chief Constable!"

"Very good!" Wang Hai liked Yang Qian's energetic look.

There were originally three other candidates who were on the same ticket as Yang Qian. Yang Qian was even the least experienced of the four. Even if you add in the experience gained from handling Liu Chengkun's case, it was still not enough. The chances of him being selected were less than 20%.

Wang Hai was not optimistic about Yang Qian at first.

But this time, the ability, courage and strength that Yang Qian showed in the unexpected confrontation and fight with the garrison raised Yang Qian to another level.

In particular, the record of suppressing dozens of guards and a garrison lieutenant by himself directly made the yamen master decide to use Yang Qian. The same was true for Wang Hai.

It can be said that Yang Qian’s strong strength helped him defeat all his competitors and finally qualified for promotion to captain of the police.

"I called you here today just to let you know. When you are done with your rest, you will receive a formal transfer order. During this time, you can think about how to proceed with your future assignments.

You must remember that I promoted you to the position of Chief Constable not to let you idle away your time, but to change the dead atmosphere in the police station. I will wait and see what you can do!"

"Don't worry, Chief Constable, Yang Qian will not let you down!"

"Well, it's good to have confidence. Do you have any other requests?"

Without thinking, Yang Qian cupped his hands and said, "I have only one request. I want to select two people to go to Class C with me."

"That's fine. I'll go talk to Liu Fu."

"The chief constable has misunderstood. The people I want are not those under Constable Liu, but Chen Dong and Wang Shigui under Constable Xie of Class A. These two are familiar to me, and they have good abilities and strengths. They can help me quickly open up the situation in Class C."

"Hey, you know how to save Liu Fu some trouble. Well, I can't give you a lot of pressure without helping you. I'll transfer those two people over for you."

"Thank you, Chief Constable!"

After Yang Qian came out of Wang Haigong's office, the yamen runners outside were already congratulating him in a low voice.

I believe this news will spread throughout the government office quickly.

It is rare to find a captain of police who is less than 25 years old in Sandao City!

After leaving Wang Hai, Yang Qian went to Liu Fu again and reported the matter to Liu Fu in person. At the same time, he also wanted to ask for some advice on how to get started.

"Guide? Haha, you have a quick mind. But the situations of each squad are different, and the expectations of the chief constable are also different. There is not much I can guide you.

But since you said that the chief constable repeatedly mentioned the atmosphere of the police station to you, you can start from this aspect. As for how to approach it specifically, you have to use your brain. "
