Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 34 Farewell
"It's me." The swordsman in white laughed and casually threw the hair in front of his forehead behind his head.

"You go chase them." Lu Zheng said to several patrol guards under his command.

"Yes."

Afternoon, at the east gate of the city.

Several farmers were carrying hoes and pushing a wooden cart forward.

On the wooden cart lay an elderly man who looked like he had difficulty walking, and several bags of grain.

"Stop, open the bag?" The city guard pointed to the wooden driveway.

"Okay, soldier, they are all crops and grains." The farmer smiled apologetically and hurriedly opened all the bags, revealing large pieces of millet inside.

"Well, what's going on with this old man?" The city guard took a look and then pointed at the old man lying on the wooden cart.

"My father fell and injured himself yesterday, so he was brought to the clinic today for treatment," the farmer explained.

The city guard wanted to take a step closer, but then he smelled an unpleasant body odor. He frowned and waved his hand, asking the farmers to leave quickly.

Just as several farmers breathed a sigh of relief and were about to push their wooden carts out of the city, a patrol guard at the city gate slowly walked towards them, making them nervous again.

"Don't panic." One of the farmers whispered.

As several people were about to walk past the patrol guard with their heads lowered, a hand suddenly pressed on the side of the wooden cart.

Several farmers looked at each other, their bodies tensed up imperceptibly, ready to attack at any time.

"Next time we meet, let's drink together."

As soon as these words were spoken, the old man on the cart, who had originally closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the patrolman who was passing by.

If it’s not Song Changming, then who else could it be?

The injured old man on the cart was Liu Xiangnan who had changed his appearance and clothes. The several farmers were naturally also masked men in disguise.

I have to say that the disguise level of these people is indeed very high, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see through them even if they get close.

Song Changming noticed something because he had spent two days alone with Liu Xiangnan and discovered that the wounds on the old man's exposed hands and feet were exactly the same as those of Liu Xiangnan.

As for coming to the east of the city, it was purely his own speculation. He believed that Liu Xiangnan would leave the county city from this city gate along the Luolong River.

Of course, it doesn’t matter even if the judgment is wrong. He doesn’t want to capture Liu Xiangnan and execute him again. He just wants to see him again.

Seeing that Song Changming did not stop them, the people pushing the carts did not stay for long and quickly left the city with Liu Xiangnan.

"How is it, have you found it?" Liang Chuanshan asked when he saw Song Changming.

"Nothing was found. It seems that the headquarters hasn't found the fugitive either." Song Changming shook his head.

Liang Chuanshan said helplessly: "Only at this moment do I feel that this county town is really big."

It is not easy to search for people in the huge Donglai County City, especially as time goes by. The longer the target hides, the harder it is to catch him.

Song Changming didn't say anything more, but he was thinking in his heart that it would be better for him to keep a low profile until the storm was over.

As for the martial arts taught to him by Liu Xiangnan, he tried his best to practice them without using them, so as to avoid being recognized by those with ulterior motives and causing trouble.

Afterwards, the news of Liu Xiangnan being kidnapped spread quickly because there were too many witnesses at the execution ground.

People in the community admired Liu Xiangnan and applauded.

The General Directorate-General of Public Security was not so happy. If the higher-ups hold them accountable, someone has to take the blame.

As a result, the old director of the Patrol Division, who was originally scheduled to step down, was dismissed in advance, and the new director was also directly finalized.

In the end, Liang Chuanshan, who had made outstanding achievements in the past two years, took over and officially took charge of the Houli Street Patrol Division.

When the news came out, even Liang Chuanshan himself did not expect that the surprise would come so suddenly.

The official position he had always dreamed of was finally obtained by him.

Now, he is considered one of the most influential figures in the entire Houli Street area!

So, when the lower-class civilians were still talking about Liu Xiangnan who had escaped, the middle and upper-class people had already focused their attention on Liang Chuanshan.

Merchants, powerful leaders, heads of aristocratic families, and other figures of all sizes in Houli Street who had received the news in advance came to visit the Liang family and congratulate them.

For a time, the Liang residence's living room and yard were packed with people every day.

So, three days later, Liang Chuanshan completed the handover of his position. After returning from the headquarters, he held a grand banquet to entertain everyone.

As Liang Chuanshan's most capable general, Song Changming was naturally invited to attend.

He was seated at the main table, which was enough to show how much Liang Chuanshan valued him.

"Changming, if it weren't for your help over the past year, which allowed me to achieve so many achievements, this position might not be mine. Even if I become the director, you will still be my most trusted confidant!"

At the banquet, Liang Chuanshan took the initiative to raise his glass and drink with Song Changming, speaking sincerely.

"Brother Liang, you are too kind," Song Changming said modestly with a smile, but he did not feel proud of it.

"I'm serious. Don't worry. I will never forget you one day. Just wait, Changming." Liang Chuanshan patted Song Changming's shoulder meaningfully, and then went to entertain other guests.

Tonight, not only did people from Houli Street come to the banquet, but also the chiefs of the patrol departments and patrol chiefs from other blocks were present.

Even some people from the general office came and gave Liang Chuanshan enough face.

This is an honor that can only be obtained after becoming a director.

The banquet was filled with clinking glasses, the aroma of wine and a lively and noisy atmosphere.

Due to his status, Song Changming was just a nobody with little presence in this banquet attended by many big shots. Very few people knew him, and few would take the initiative to greet him.

Song Changming didn't think much of it and was happy to be free, just eating and drinking in a corner.

The only person who accompanied him was Lu Gang, whom he knew.

Although he was the patrol chief and his status was higher than Song Changming, his qualifications as a patrol chief were equally shallow and he had not yet established enough personal connections, so he simply stayed in the corner with Song Changming.

"Changming, look at Zhao Dezhi and Qian Wen, their faces are almost green just sitting there." Lu Gang looked at the two men not far away and chuckled.

"I think if they weren't worried about offending Liang Tou, they would starve to death rather than come to the banquet today."

Song Changming shook his head, drank the wine in the glass, and smiled faintly: "It's not that I can't understand it. If you didn't win the competition this time, it will be difficult to have such an opportunity next time. You may be suppressed by us for the rest of your life."

"That's true." Lu Gang smiled, then suddenly turned his head to look at Song Changming.

"This time Liang Tou is the director, Chang Ming, maybe it won't be long before I have to change my tune with you."

"Let's not talk about things that haven't happened yet." Song Changming understood what Lu Gang meant and laughed.

"Haha, let's drink." After hearing this, Lu Gang said no more and raised his glass with a smile.

The two of them had no additional tasks for this dinner and enjoyed the meal to their heart's content.
