After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Hearing the question from the Mountain God, Li Qingshi's heart trembled. He then remembered that he was only busy talking about the difficulties he encountered here, and had not yet reported to the Mountain God about his experiences and changes during this period.

This is just like the relationship between yourself and your background in life and work. You can't just go to them when you encounter difficulties. You have to keep in touch with them every now and then on weekdays. At least keep each other familiar and have a basic understanding.

Otherwise, if you don't contact them for a while, they will become estranged. Why would they appear only when you are in trouble and help you with all their efforts? This is simply unrealistic. Of course, this does not apply to relationships like parents!

Thinking of this, Li Qingshi scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, and then said: "In reply to Grandpa Mountain God, I am now acting as the head of the police temporarily, so this matter is under my jurisdiction for now!"

After hearing what Li Qingshi said, Xu Bo'an suddenly became curious and asked in confusion: "Oh? You became a captain? So quickly!"

Li Qingshi was previously the jailer in charge of Shanyang County government prison. Although it sounds similar to the captain of police, his job responsibilities, content and power are completely different.

The position of prison boss can almost be said to be a relatively simple leadership position. It is basically a job that anyone can do. It does not involve any major technical difficulty. It just involves watching over the people in the prison.

Therefore, people like Li Qingshi, who have no experience or resume but have a background, can be placed in such a position. Of course, the so-called background of Li Qingshi is the Mountain God!
But it is different with the position of captain of police. In a county the size of Shanyang County, there is usually only one captain of police in the yamen, who is responsible for managing all the constables in the yamen. It is equivalent to the position of the current chief of the police station. This position is not only high-ranking and powerful in the county, but also requires extensive work experience and a resume of service!
Therefore, it was hard for Xu Boan to imagine that Li Qingshi could be transferred from the position of jailer to the position of constable so quickly. Even if he was made the second-in-command of the county government such as the county magistrate, Xu Boan would not be so surprised!
After all, the position of county magistrate is not the top leader. There are leaders above and technical backbones below. Even if he is a fool, as long as he has some ability to coordinate between the upper and lower levels, even if it is just a simple communication, he can get by for a while, and he can still deal with some mistakes. At least he doesn't have to worry about causing a big mess.

But it is not easy to be a captain of police. He is the person in charge of public security in the county, the real boss. He has to personally take charge of the work and produce corresponding results in charge of the affairs. He has to report to his superiors and make the constables who follow him respect him.

So when Xu Bo'an heard the news, he was extremely curious and even found it a little unbelievable. How could Li Qingshi, a man with no experience and no help, directly switch careers and become a head of police?
It sounds like such a job change is indeed a promotion, but it is also really challenging. If you take the position in a hurry, trouble will arise if you are not careful.

It is a small matter to offend people by doing something wrong due to lack of ability or experience in this extremely challenging position. However, if you make trouble or fail to complete the difficult task assigned by your superiors, in the feudal social system, being fired is the lightest punishment. You may even face imprisonment, physical pain, or even life-threatening consequences!

Li Qingshi heard the doubt in the Mountain God's mouth and knew what the Mountain God was doubting about. He quickly explained, "It's like this, Mountain God. I am just temporarily taking on the position of Chief Constable. I was appointed not long ago. I heard that it seems that it was because a chief constable came from the Qingmu government office not long ago.
Later, when we encountered an emergency, the chief constable came with a badge and said that he was on a mission and needed to temporarily transfer some of the constables from the Shanyang County government to assist him. Therefore, many brothers who worked in the government followed him.

Because there were too many people taken away, most of the detectives in the yamen were taken away, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled people who were unable to perform their work normally.

However, the daily handling of cases in the yamen cannot be done without a responsible head constable. At present, there are very few yamen runners in the Shanyang County Yamen. Due to financial constraints, it is not easy to recruit new people on short notice. There are no suitable candidates among the existing runners. After choosing and choosing, I don’t know how I was temporarily appointed by the county magistrate to take the position of head constable.

Not only me, but also some of my jailer brothers were temporarily assigned to serve as constables. Everyone was quite happy. After all, constables are much more prestigious than jailers, and they also have more benefits. But I didn't expect to encounter difficulties as soon as I took office. I don't know what to do. "

Li Qingshi hid nothing from the Mountain God, even the unspoken rules such as oil and water were mentioned to him, which made it seem that he was speaking the truth.

Xu Bo'an knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. It was nothing more than the county magistrate Wang Chao thinking that Li Qingshi had the mountain god looking after him behind the scenes. Firstly, it was like giving the mountain god a face and making a good relationship with him. Secondly, if Li Qingshi encountered any unsolvable problems, he could still ask the mountain god for help. He had this face. If it was someone else, he would have to take the blame himself, and Wang Chao might even have to clean up his mess. Who would want to cause trouble for themselves?

Therefore, using Li Qingshi as the head of the police force was the most appropriate choice at the moment.

As for the captain of police from Qingmu Mansion that Li Qingshi mentioned?

The person he was talking about was most likely the Yan Xiaojiu whom he had met not long ago.

Previously, Yan Xiaojiu came here to look for Yun Que's whereabouts. Although he failed to take Yun Que away, he was lucky enough to find his biological sister whom he had not seen for many years, the courtesan Chen Shishi.

However, before the brother and sister could spend a few more days together, Yan Xiaojiu received a message from her superiors saying that Lu Changshan had died in an accident while suppressing bandits, and urged Yan Xiaojiu to investigate the matter as soon as possible.

Of course, Lu Changshan was only captured by Yan Shouyi and he did not die. Moreover, he has been released by Yan Shouyi under his own instructions. I just don’t know if Yan Xiaojiu has found out the news.

But this is all off topic. What Li Qingshi is talking about now should be related to this matter.

Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an subconsciously asked casually: "The head constable of Qingmu Mansion? What's his name?"

Li Qingshi quickly replied, "I think his name is Yan or something. I heard some of his old colleagues in the county government call him Captain Yan."

Xu Boan nodded slightly, and then he was sure that the Captain Yan that Li Qingshi was talking about should be Yan Xiaojiu.

But he didn't expect that this matter would be such a coincidence, which gave Li Qingshi new challenges and experiences.

After all, relatively speaking, a county police chief has much more power and status than a jailer. A jailer can only take care of the people who are imprisoned, while a police chief can intimidate almost everyone in the county. The power they hold is incomparable, so Li Qingshi's job change this time can be regarded as a promotion.

Thinking of the problem Li Qingshi just mentioned, Xu Bo'an asked: "Okay, what is the problem you just mentioned?"

Li Qingshi continued, "Grandpa Mountain God, it's like this. Didn't we just say that there was a ranger recently? Uh, it should be called a thief!"

Li Qingshi had just entered the government office and still had some views and ideas from his previous identity. From the perspective of the official, the chivalrous thief who robs the rich to help the poor, and the chivalrous thief who only steals from bullies and not the good people, are all criminal thieves! Li Qingshi paused for a moment, got used to this new title, and then continued: "This thief... This guy appears and disappears like a ghost, and has stolen from several wealthy families.

He also had a strange habit. Every time he committed a burglary, he would write on the wall of the house: "Grandpa was here", which was very arrogant.

I put a lot of effort into catching him, but after interrogating him for a long time, I didn’t expect that I could get nothing out of him.”

Li Qingshi was not originally a professional interrogator, so he certainly had some shortcomings in this area. In addition, there were no capable assistants in the government office, and the few detectives under him were all former jailers. Therefore, if such a team switched to interrogation, they would not be able to get the results so quickly.

Li Qingshi sighed and said disappointedly, "I originally wanted to put that guy in jail, thinking that locking him up for two days would kill his arrogance and maybe he would confess.

But I didn't expect that just this evening, about half an hour ago, someone reported to the police that their house had been robbed. We went to the scene of the theft and saw the handwriting left by the thief.

This means we have arrested the wrong person. But I always feel that I have not arrested the wrong person. But now this has happened, which proves that the other party is not the one I put in prison. In this case, I have to let him go, but I am really unwilling to do so, because my intuition tells me that it must be him! "

Li Qingshi spoke unwillingly and waved his arms in anger to show his unwillingness!

When Xu Boan heard what Li Qingshi said, he couldn't help but frown.

You are too straightforward, aren't you? Are you making a decision based on your intuition?

Are you kidding me? You are the chief constable. If you solve the case like this, people will laugh at your incompetence!
Do you think you are my mountain god, with the fortune-telling sutra to rely on?
But after all, Li Qingshi had just taken office. In order not to dampen Li Qingshi's initiative, Xu Bo'an did not criticize him, but asked directly: "What do you want me to do for you?"

Li Qingshi gritted his teeth and said, "Li Qingshi dare not hide it from Grandpa Mountain God. I am new to this job and this is the first big case I have encountered. Qingshi does not want to be laughed at. I hope Grandpa Mountain God can lend a helping hand to Qingshi!"

As he spoke, Li Qingshi kowtowed three times, and three solid sounds were heard.

Xu Boan couldn't help but feel touched. Li Qingshi was almost an illiterate country bumpkin before, but now he has been working in the government for a while, and his speech level has changed. He can speak in a variety of words! One has to sigh at the magic of the environment that shapes people!

Xu Bo'an smiled slightly. This was not a big deal. Since Li Qingshi had come to him so formally, it would only be a piece of cake. He could just help him.

So Xu Bo'an said softly, "Wait a moment. I'll calculate it with my fingers!"

Li Qingshi's face lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said respectfully: "I will obey the instructions of the mountain god!"

Xu Bo'an had an idea and used the technique of the "Fude Divination Sutra" to calculate according to what he thought in his mind.

Soon, a clear thread emerged!

Then Xu Bo'an's face darkened. Wow, Li Qingshi's intuition was really right. He was right about this matter. The man he caught was indeed the thief who loved to scribble when committing crimes.

As for the case that happened not long ago, it was actually committed by the thief. It’s not that the thief imprisoned in prison has the ability to clone himself. There is another reason!
After figuring out the result, Xu Bo'an felt relieved, but he didn't plan to tell Li Qingshi the result directly.

Because this is a good opportunity to train him. If the answer is revealed directly, it will not be able to effectively train Li Qingshi.

After thinking for a while, Xu Bo'an opened his mouth and sighed without concealing anything.

When Li Qingshi heard the sigh of the Mountain God, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. With a nervous look on his face, he asked hurriedly, "Why is the Mountain God sighing? Little Stone, did I really catch the wrong person?"

Xu Bo'an did not answer Li Qingshi's question immediately, but asked, "During the time you were the head of the police force in the yamen, did you still communicate with the jailers frequently?"

Li Qingshi shook his head and said awkwardly: "The position of the chief constable is very busy. There are too many things to do every day. I don't have much personal time. Apart from the brothers who were brought out to be constables, I have never gathered with the brothers who originally guarded the prison. Even when interrogating and solving cases, my brothers would bring the prisoners to the court!"

As he was talking, Li Qingshi suddenly came to his senses. He exclaimed, "I understand, Grandpa Mountain God, you mean, the problem lies with the jailers in the prison!"

Xu Boan said with a smile: "You are a teachable boy, but I will stop here. I can only tell you that you did not arrest the wrong person, but the person who committed the crime outside just now is indeed the real murderer. You have to investigate carefully to find out what happened! This can be regarded as a test for you! I believe you can do it!"

With Xu Bo'an's words of support, Li Qingshi's face immediately lit up, and he said confidently: "Qingshi thanks the mountain god for his guidance. I will live up to the mountain god's expectations and go find out the truth right away!" (End of this chapter)
