Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 86: New Strategy for Killing Demons and Suppressing Bandits

Yang Qian originally thought that after overthrowing Song Qixun, Sandacheng would be peaceful for a while. At least as a small constable, he would not have to deal with so many cases like before.

But he didn't expect that when he wanted to take a rest, his superiors didn't think so.

When Yang Qian went to report the accounts of the big search, the yamen master Cui Mingsheng gave him a new request, saying that Sandao City had been tortured by Song Qixun for several years, and the people were in fear. Now that Song Qixun has been brought to justice, the people of Sandao City should be given peace, and the evil spirits and bandits should not be allowed to continue to harm the people of Sandao City.

As the saying goes, the people below have to run around all the time, so Yang Qian was assigned this new task because of his great contribution in investigating Song Qixun's case.

Fortunately, Cui Mingsheng also knew that this matter could not be rushed, so he put forward a lot of ideas, but did not give Yang Qian a deadline, only asking him to come up with a feasible strategy as soon as possible.

This is actually a bit too much to ask.

After all, Yang Qian is just a captain of the police. Although he is stronger and smarter, his duty is only to "maintain security" rather than "suppress bandits" and "eliminate demons."

Suppressing bandits and exterminating monsters is actually the responsibility of the garrison and the provincial army. Now it is forced upon Yang Qian. It has to be said that Lord Cui Mingsheng will use capable people as much as he can.

If someone else takes over, he will probably not be able to do the job well. After the new three city guards take office, these things will not be his turn.

But Yang Qian was different. His two major life plans were to kill monsters and make money. Suppressing bandits and monsters was not a burden to him. On the contrary, it was a legitimate reason to kill monsters.

So Yang Qian has been thinking about this task in his mind these two days.

It would definitely not be possible to forcibly go up the mountain to destroy the village and kill people.

How many people are there in the police station? If you rush over, you can't kill the monsters and thieves. You'd be lucky if you can come back alive. Moreover, the police station has almost no information about the situation of thieves, bandits, and monsters. It's unwise to rush in and die.

Yang Qian was thinking about whether there was a way to try it out that would both take Cui Mingsheng's purpose into consideration and prevent him from being surrounded and killed by bandits or evil spirits. In the end, he would still have enough evil spirits and bandits to kill.

"Tell me, what do you think?"

Wang Hai was actually very happy that Yang Qian came to him first instead of going directly to Cui Mingsheng. This showed that Yang Qian was very clear about his position and did not give a perfunctory response to Cui Mingsheng just because he caught his eye. He was sensible.

"Captain, with the limited manpower we have, it's not enough to charge into the mountain stronghold or go into the mountains to search for demons and evil spirits. So I think it's not advisable to take the initiative. It's best to wait and see, pretending to be a piece of meat, and then suddenly jump out and kill them by surprise when the evil wolf takes the bait."

"Await the enemy's attack while resting? What does that mean?" Wang Hai was confused.

"Che Ma Xing! Chief Constable, even if Song Qixun was the insider of the evil spirits and bandits around Sandao City, or he was the largest gang of bandits, after Song Qixun fell, can't the other bandits and evil spirits just move away? They will definitely continue to show up and rob people after the storm has passed.

At that time, our people can blend in with the carriage and horse business, mainly using crossbows, and then wait for the bandits to come out and cooperate with the carriage and horse business’s own guards to take action together.

Killing them a few times like this will surely deter the bandits and evil spirits around Sandao City from making any rash moves, and we can also catch some of them to find out the details of the bandits and evil spirits outside. After that, when the garrison troops are regrouped, we will join forces with the troops to encircle and suppress them.

This way, we can solve the problem of evil spirits and bandits harassing the people in one fell swoop! "It wasn't a long sentence, just a few paragraphs, but it made his idea clear.

Simply put, it is to use the shell of the city's carriage and horse business as bait, lure thieves or evil spirits into the trap, and then kill them unexpectedly.

Wang Hai thought about it and felt that although what Yang Qian said was not a perfect idea, it was the most appropriate option that the police station could currently offer.

However, this method is a bit too passive, and it cannot eliminate those evil spirits that do not attack convoys but mainly attack and kill people in the villages and towns around the city.

"It's a method that can be tried, but how are you going to deal with the evil spirits that are wreaking havoc in the village?"

“Captain of the Police, in fact, the evil spirits that are wreaking havoc in the surrounding villages and towns are not because there is anything wrong with our police station’s system, but because there are insiders like Song Qixun who are covering up for us and turning some people in the police station into his lackeys. They don’t pay attention to many cases, they just do things perfunctorily, and even confuse right and wrong. This is why the surrounding villages and towns are wreaking havoc with evil spirits and are suffering unspeakably.

Now that Song Qixun has fallen, all the bad apples in the police station have been wiped out. We only need to crack down on them according to the previous investigation and handling system, and the evil spirits around us will surely be effectively controlled.

In fact, as long as the people see our police officers fighting for them, they won’t be afraid. What they are afraid of is that no one cares about their life or death.”

Although Yang Qian had only been thinking about it for two days, he had been working in the police station for a long time.

Yang Qian was familiar with the rules of the police station and the living conditions of ordinary people in and outside the city.

Speaking of demons, they are called "bugs" in Sandao City. It can be seen that demons are not that powerful, but they have some special methods that make it difficult for ordinary people to guard against them, and most of them eat people, so ordinary people feel scared.

To a constable like Yang Qian, evil spirits like "bugs" are actually no scarier than thieves and bandits.

"But if we want to quickly suppress the rampage of evil spirits in the surrounding area, I think we can transfer some good men from the government office to help. It will be much easier to deal with them if they are equipped with crossbows."

Wang Hai nodded after hearing this. After thinking for a while, he said, "Your idea is not bad. At least I think it is suitable for our police station to use now. I can discuss with the yamen master the way to deal with the city and the surrounding villages and towns and villages and implement it as soon as possible.

But the way the carriage and horse business handled things is not something that everyone can do as you said, feeding the tiger with one's own body. Even if one has the courage, one does not have the ability to do so."

After saying that, Wang Hai looked at Yang Qian, implying: Don't even think about giving up your responsibility, kid.

But Wang Hai didn't know that others were afraid of fighting with bandits and evil spirits, but Yang Qian was not afraid. He even came up with this strategy just to rush to the front.

Otherwise, how can you kill monsters and thieves? How can you gain experience points?

"Don't worry, Chief Constable. Since Yang Qian came up with the idea, he will naturally take the lead and will not give up on the task."

Wang Hai then smiled with satisfaction and said, "You are better than me, this kind of thing is indeed yours. But if this happens, your Class C will be too busy to handle it. Hmm, how about your Class C being responsible for implementing this strategy in the future?"
