Chapter 129 Why Does It Feel Like I'm the One Who's Scolding

[In the distant and raging sea, there can be found an altar high above the sea.On the altar, there is a bell that does not ring.I need to get there, ring the dumbbell, and the wisest race in the Raging Sea will come to meet me. 】

[The problem now is that the outside of the city-state has been surrounded by biological remnants.We need to pass through countless war wounds and Styx elves to reach the unknown port. 】

[The official said: Explorer, now we can no longer pay you.But when you return after completing the task, the human city-state will bestow upon you the title of brave, remembering your feat forever. 】

Although there are no substantive rewards, Zhao Chuanxin faintly feels that the reputation behind these titles will bring him more benefits.

When the weirdo gave him the title of explorer, now the officials of the Ministry of Defense also looked at him highly.

When he becomes a "brave", he may be able to accept more cost-effective tasks.

After a little thought, he chose to agree.

[Officials dispatched a death squad to assist me and several crew members to board the ship.First, we have to break out. 】

[On the high walls of the city-state, soldiers held flintlock guns and swords to resist, and the monster troops of the remnants of creatures rose up again and again like a raging tide. 】

[I saw a man wearing ghost armor, easily leaping from the back of the battle wound in the city, and climbed onto the city wall in a short time. 】

【He was carrying five Styx sprites on his back. Putting them down at this time, the petite Styx sprites shuttled through the crowd like lightning, and injured more than 20 city-state guards in a short while. 】

[There was a gap in the city wall, and a head of War Wound jumped up. 】

[In desperation, I fired an arrow-like lightning at him, successfully knocking him back and falling to the city wall.The guards who reacted rushed forward and blocked the gap. 】

[The official said to me: They will also be exhausted, and when this wave of attack is blocked, it is your time to break through. 】

[The Death Squad is ready, we are going to break through. 】

[The city gate opened a gap, and we rushed out. 】

[We are like a sampan in a rough sea, tenacious but not strong enough to resist invasion.One of the Styx sprites broke through the Daredevil line and came running towards us. 】

[I immediately killed it with two shots from the pistol. 】

[Then more and more Styx elves broke through the line of defense, and the death squads and sailors suffered heavy casualties.My gun is out of ammunition, so I took out the spider legs and turned on the separated long-range attack mode, sweeping back and forth at a height close to the ground, which is a good way to deal with this small and tenacious creature. 】

[But the good times didn't last long, a war wound and a claw knocked out three members of the death squad, and rushed towards us.And behind me, the Creator of War mount I subdued rushed up and fought with it. 】

[The weirdo built a light armor for my mount to strengthen its already strong defense.It also installed a meteor hammer on the tip of its tail. When it flicked its tail, it caused internal injuries to the other war wound. 】

[Finally, we broke out of the encirclement, the soldiers of the Death Squad smiled bitterly and turned around to say hello to us, and then used their lives to buy time for the few remaining people to rush to the port, and temporarily blocked the pursuers with their flesh and blood . 】

[A ship that was originally used by the nobles of the city-state to escape was parked in the port. The sails were already full and the supplies were sufficient.As soon as we got on board, we weighed anchor. 】

[The chasing soldiers have arrived, and they will continue to follow, even jumping into the sea and swimming to chase them. 】

[I changed the ammunition, shot into the sea, and shot the Styx elf who was trying to climb up.The sea water was full of blood, and after a while, big fish came to compete for the delicacies delivered to their mouths. 】

[Finally, we escaped danger. 】

[We didn't go far along the coastline before we veered eastward.We are going into raging and furious seas, and it will be a long voyage. 】

[Because of the lack of manpower on board, I also need to be assigned by the temporary captain to work. 】

For several days, Zhao Chuanxin spent his time flipping through diaries, gathering energy, and wandering around.

The whole Lugang Town was busy, but he was the only idler.

In the past two years, the weather has been good, the black land is fertile enough, and chemical products such as fertilizers and pesticides have not yet been realized. Zhao Chuanxin can only lend some horses other than military horses to farmers for reclamation.

The newly reclaimed fields are registered and recorded in the public security office, but they do not go to the government, and the yamen cannot collect taxes.

The land tax in the Qing Dynasty was considered low, but there were other ways to raise money at the Yamen Gate.

But in Lugang Town, the county magistrate couldn't get any money, so he was naturally full of resentment, and many reports were sent to Zhu Zhaokui, the magistrate.

Zhu Zhaokui felt annoyed after seeing too much, so he went to General Jilin again to discuss.

The current general of Jilin, Dagui, is nothing but a middle-aged man. He had heard that Lugang Township was a thorn in the side and not easy to provoke, but the new official took office three fires, and he couldn't ignore it.

So, he thought of a self-righteous coup.

He sent people to Lugang Township to "recruit security".

"Chuanxin, someone from the General's Mansion is here." Zhang Daquan ran to Zhao Chuanxin's house.

"Come here, please entertain me."

"No, this time he said he wanted to appease us to become officials."

After all, the Qing court is still an official. Zhang Daquan's excited face can actually represent the psychology of the Lugang Town Insurance Team.

They are not afraid of the Yamen coming to attack them, but they will be very excited when the Yamen comes to recruit them.

Many gangsters in the three northeastern provinces shared this mentality, and even later bandits in Hebei and other places robbed and kidnapped them for no money, and specifically for recruiting security.

When you become an official, you have power and power, let alone amassing money.

Followed Zhang Daquan to the public security station.

The person who came was Cheng Xun, the deputy governor of Jilin. This position is second only to General Jilin, and it is already very high.

When Zhao Chuanxin came, he was looking at the wall of the security station.

There is a row of photos hanging on the wall, and under the photos are small text introductions.

Liu Jiahui, born in 1883 (the ninth year of Guangxu), female, is currently a policeman of the Lugang Town Public Security Station.

Du Cheng'an, born in 1878 (the fourth year of Guangxu), male, is currently the police chief of Lugang Town Public Security Station.

……

Including the sheriff, there are ten people in total.

These days, there are no administrative agencies that hang photos and explanations in words.

The Police Department of the Public Security Station also has an arsenal. Through the latticed glass door, Cheng Xun can see a gun rack with varnish on it, which is full of guns and ammunition, thirteen rings, eight rings, five rings, arranged in categories .Next to it are various types of ammunition.

The floor and walls are smooth wood panels, and a map hangs on the wall.

In addition, there is an archive room, which is full of files.

Cheng Xun felt very strange.Although this place is not as luxurious as the yamen gate, it is more refined. Just look at the glass windows that let in all the sunlight. People must be in a good mood to work here.

When Zhao Chuanxin came, he saw Chengxun observing the environment there.

"Ah, the deputy capital commander is here, and the fluffy scorpion is shining."

Cheng Xun raised his head defiantly, and hummed softly as an answer.

"You are Zhao Chuanxin?"

"That's right, it's me."

"Hehe, I heard that Lugang Town is lawless, set up a private court, jointly resisted taxes, and even has unruly intentions. Is there such a thing?"

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes widened: "Ah, who is the bastard who gave birth to a son without an ass hole and spread rumors there?"

Sung Hoon: "..."

Why do you feel like you're scolding me?
