Chapter 12: I have a guilty conscience and can't sleep or eat well. Good and evil will be rewarded in the end!
Jiang Zhou is in a very bad mood right now.

It can even be said that he was completely confused.

Last night at dusk, Ji Xia limped back to the bluestone alley from the dangerous area of ​​the mountains and forests, and began to spread the dirty things that happened in the mountains in a small circle.

When Jiang Zhou first heard the news, he was a little flustered, but things are different now.

Therefore, he specially borrowed some manpower from the 'Daohu Gang', hoping to 'capture' Ji Xia first.

When the time comes, he can use the excuse of this to detain him for a few days. When the storm has died down, he can take office and gain a firm foothold. Afterwards, he can do whatever he wants, isn't it?
Even if someone outside reported this to the government that summer, what would happen?

I have been registered as an official and entered the Heishan government office. No matter how much you, Ji Xia, talk, you are just a commoner, a mere hunter. A higher-ranking official can crush a person to death, let alone the difference between officials and common people!

But no matter how much Jiang Zhou planned, he had never expected what would happen today.

Originally, he had thought about what would happen if Ji Xia escaped the pursuit by chance and went to the Heishan Yamen to file a complaint against him.

But Liu Tieyi's vague hints made Jiang Zhou understand who has the final say here.

He is Liu Tieyi, the chief who is in charge of hundreds of runners and has achieved great success in the first step of cultivation, 'Building the Foundation at Wuguan'. He is the squad leader under him, and the many runners who are on duty in the yamen and are his colleagues!

When it comes to our own people, we can even say that black is white. How can we listen to what outsiders say?

however,
The sound of a golden bell and the chief calling out his name made Jiang Zhou completely confused.

It's not like he hasn't heard of the name Zhen Jin Zhong.

In other words, most of the peasants at the bottom of Black Mountain City who don't want to spend all their family wealth to enter the inner city martial arts school for a slim chance have had this unrealistic dream.

But in order to make the golden bell ring, one must at least have some basic skills in boxing. It turned out that he was talking with Liu Bantou in the hall just now, and the sudden ringing of the bell was caused by Ji Xia!

Can.
Where did he learn boxing?
Why have I never heard him talk about it?

Even in the critical moment of life and death in the mountains, he did not reveal such a skill. If he had not suddenly attacked, caught the enemy by surprise, and picked up a good opportunity, he might have faced the enemy head-on and torn his face.
Ji Xia's punch can beat him to death!
No wonder such a skilled and courageous person is so brave. After hearing the news spread by Liu Bantou, he dared to go up the mountains alone to seek his future, full of confidence!
It turns out that even if you can't become a police officer by relying on "personal connections",
He was able to rely on his abilities to pass the 'assessment' and get admitted!

The gap between people is so huge.

Jiang Zhou was in a daze, following Liu Tieyi with a heavy heart, and walked forward with the officer.

It seemed that he saw Jiang Zhou's inner confusion.

Liu Tieyi glanced at him:
"Why are you panicking? Didn't you say that you once stabbed him twice and made him a cripple?"

“Even if he has been patient for many years and has made some progress in practicing a simple boxing manual in an unknown place, what can he do?”

"The standard medicinal bath for police officers, combined with the secret cultivation method, has already given you some signs of 'golden skin and jade veins'. Your skin, tendons and bones are three or four times better than those of ordinary people. Even if his fists are hard, can they be harder than steel bones?"

"The disciples of the big sects pay attention to strengthening their foundation with fists and feet before their muscles and bones are formed, and then they can ascend to heaven in one step when they reach the stage of building the foundation."

"But this doesn't mean that just because you have mastered the art of boxing, you can compete with the 'Wu Guan Foundation Building' as an ordinary person, even if you are only a half-baked one!"

"Plus, he's a cripple. How powerful can his fists be?"

"The ringing of the golden bell alarmed the chief, but the 'Black Mountain Yamen' is only in the outer city area after all, and the chief has never been involved in affairs, so he may not think much of that kid."

"I think it's just because of face. As long as you keep calm, nothing will happen."

Liu Tieyi walked steadily and spoke in a leisurely tone.

It also made Jiang Zhou's uneasy heart relax a little.

just
Is that really the case?

With an uneasy mind.

Following Liu Tieyi, he stepped into the main hall of the yamen.

Almost as soon as he entered, Jiang Zhou stepped in.
Then he saw a young man with short clothes and loose hair, who was dressed simply but quite unruly and had his own style. He was sitting with his head held high and chatting happily with a dignified middle-aged man in a black robe with gold patterns.

"Ji Xia!" Jiang Zhou's eyes narrowed.

The majestic middle-aged man was none other than Chen Zhenwu, who had been promoted to 'policeman' before. He had been among the policemen and had seen him from afar. His energy was as hot as a furnace, so sharp that people dared not look directly at him.

How could such a person be willing to condescend and take the initiative to talk to a subordinate who had just become an official?
Unconsciously, Jiang Zhou's feet hit the base of a pillar, making a 'dong' sound.

Immediately, everyone's attention was focused on him.

"Is this the man you were talking about?"

Chen Zhenwu glanced at Jiang Zhou, then looked at Liu Tieyi in front of him. His gaze paused, as if he was thinking, and at the same time he spoke to Ji Xia.

"Your Excellency, it is this person." Ji Xia stood up, slowly turned around and looked at Jiang Zhou.

"Jiang Zhou, how are you?"

After a moment, Ji Xia looked at Jiang Zhou's blue official robe and the scabbard of his long sword embroidered with "Heishan Yasi", and suddenly smiled again:

"My clothes, my knife"

"Comfortable to wear, is it useful?"

Wow!
The words were almost tearing the skin apart, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.

Liu Tieyi's expression finally changed slightly, as if he didn't expect Ji Xia to be so direct.

"Brother Ji, what are you talking about?"

Jiang Zhou's expression changed slightly, but he remembered Liu Tieyi's instructions when he came here, and immediately shouted loudly, and at the same time slapped the sheath knife at his waist, making a "pa pa" sound:

"I earned this outfit and this precious sword with honorable means. The Black Mountain Yamen assisted the lord of the Demon Hunting Department in slaying demons and monsters, and several of my colleagues were killed."

"Liu Bantou felt that there was a shortage of manpower, so he specially issued a test. Whoever can go deep into the mountains and bring back the life of a monster will be considered brave and courageous, and has the qualifications to practice martial arts."

"Although I went into the mountains with you, Brother Ji, you accidentally fell into the steep slope of the forest and disappeared without a trace. This achievement was earned by me alone. What does it have to do with you?"

Regarding Liu Bantou's behavior of "selling titles and official positions", it is absolutely impossible to mention it in public. Although the chief minister is likely to know about it, we still have to do some face-saving work.

Anyone who brings this up at this juncture would be breaking the rules.

Those who break the rules will be the first to be eliminated.

"Ah!"

Ji Xia sneered.

Then he stepped forward suddenly:

"What an irrelevant one!"

Then, the young man rolled up his trouser legs, revealing the area below his knees. Although it had improved a lot, the deep scars could still be seen:
"So you're saying that I cut myself with this knife wound because I was looking for trouble in the mountains?!"

There had never been a wound that had directly taken his life.

Instead, it has become strong evidence at the moment.

Jiang Zhou's veins popped up and he was about to speak.

And this time.

With a thump, two officers, one on the left and one on the right, carrying a dusty figure, walked into the hall and saluted Chen Zhenwu, who was in charge.
"Sir, the witness named by Officer Ji has been brought here."

Then, he threw the person to the ground.

The two people were Zhong Xu and Zheng Fan who had stopped Ji Xialu before.

Ji Xia's boxing skills have reached a high level and he has mastered the "Six Rings", which has attracted the attention of Chen Zhenwu. These two old hands who have been in the Heishan government for more than ten years regretted their actions in an instant.

When he heard that Ji Xia had been wronged, and that he came here to seek promotion and to seek justice, he was about to strip the new officer Jiang Zhou of his green clothes.
The two of them weighed Chen Zhenwu's expression, and took the risk of offending Liu Tieyi and Liu Bantou, and volunteered to go to the "Qingshi Alley" on behalf of Ji Xia.
Chen Wu, who had just been beaten up by Ji Xia, was handcuffed and arrested without saying a word!
Zhong Xu held down the bruised and swollen Chen Wu and knelt in front of Chen Zhenwu.

Zheng Fan took out a "mission order" and handed it to Ji Xia and Chen Zhenwu, saying:
"Master Si Shou, Brother Ji, before coming here, Zhong Xu and I had already interrogated this kid, and he confessed everything."

"And this brand new 'mission order' was exactly what was looted from him. It was given to him by the newly promoted officer, Jiang Zhou!"

After saying that, Zheng Fan remained calm and pointed the finger at Jiang Zhou!
The cold sweat on Jiang Zhou's forehead flowed down!
In order to gain the trust of 'Chen Wu' of the Daohu Gang, he gave him a 'Service Order' of his own, treating him as his confidant so that he could work hard for him.

But what Jiang Zhou didn't expect was
He actually failed at this level!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Liu Tieyi for help.

Seeing the gaze, Liu Tieyi's face twitched and he couldn't help but curse inwardly, "You useless thing! Why are you giving out the police order for no reason!"
But this was the person he chose after all. Even if you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner first.

Although Si Shou is the only one in power.

But he also has the support of people from the inner city, a lame man who has never practiced martial arts, has a broken leg, and has only achieved some success in boxing.

So what if it's true?

He can also make it look fake!
Could it be that the chief of the company would not give him the face of a squad leader and protect a child with no foundation and who is still wet behind the ears? !
