Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 62 Xiao Yanli

Jinxiu Street, Xiao Mansion.

"Third Young Master, the night-walking ghost has been caught." An old servant bowed and reported to the person in front of him.

"Who caught him?" Xiao Yanli waved his landscape folding fan, looking at the scenery of the back garden, without turning around, just asked lightly.

"He is a patrol captain in the Houli Street Patrol Division." The old servant said immediately.

"How can a mere patrol captain of a city catch that night ghost?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanli turned slightly and looked at the old servant, puzzled.

"I have already checked this matter, and it is true. It was done by a patrol captain who was only 20 years old." The old servant continued.

"A twenty-year-old patrol captain?" Xiao Yanli's face showed a hint of curiosity.

A twenty-year-old patrol captain, plus catching a night ghost, these two things together were indeed enough to arouse his interest.

"Yes, this man's surname is Song, his given name is Changming. He used to live in the Baiyi Street District. He first worked as a fire watchman at the Houli Street Patrol for a year.

Afterwards, this man killed Chen Beihu, the bandit leader of Tengya Mountain, in the street, so he was promoted to patrol guard. After that, he made many achievements, and it happened that a new director took office. He had a close relationship with the new director, so he was promoted to patrol guard chief out of the ordinary. "

The old servant had already checked all of Song Changming's past records in the Xunjia Division, and now he told them to his young master one by one.

"He has good personal strength and can catch opportunities that fall from the sky. In addition, he is still so young, so he is a promising talent. Old man, please make arrangements. I want to meet him."

Xiao Yanli put away his folding fan with a snap and said with a faint smile, his gaze returning to the garden scenery.

"Yes, I'll arrange it." The old servant agreed and turned to leave.

The next day, the news of the capture of the big thief Night Walker did not spread widely in the city.

The ordinary people would celebrate the demise of the Jiuqu Society, because they had often been oppressed by the Jiuqu Society in the past, and this matter was closely related to them.

But they have nothing to do and will not pay too much attention to a big thief they have never seen before, even if the thief is famous enough and his crimes are unforgivable.

Only some people in the underworld and government would pay attention to this matter, and Song Changming thus entered the sight of this small group of people.

Outside the Patrol Office, a carriage was parked.

Liang Chuanshan, dressed in neat black official uniform and hat, hurriedly got off the carriage and walked towards the Patrol Armour Office.

In the small courtyard, Song Changming, as usual, used his light body skills and sword practice at the same time.

"Captain Song, the director is looking for you." A patrol guard suddenly came over and said to Song Changming.

"I understand." Song Changming stopped practicing sword and nodded.

It's no wonder that Liang Chuanshan is looking for him now, probably because of the night-walking ghost Sun Meng who was caught yesterday.

Now this night-walking ghost has been thrown into jail. If nothing unexpected happens, he will most likely be beheaded for his crimes, with almost no room for turning back.

In the main hall, Liang Chuanshan stood with his hands behind his back, looking out the window, as if he was waiting for Song Changming.

It was not until Song Changming pushed the door open that he said, "I never thought that the night-walking ghost that so many people were helpless against would end up being locked up in the prison of our Patrol Armor Division!"

"How did you catch it?"

"It was a bit of a coincidence that day." Song Changming briefly described the situation that day.

"No matter what, this is definitely a great achievement. Because of this matter, the third young master of the Xiao family wants to see you." Liang Chuanshan said.

"Why does the Third Young Master want to see me?" Song Changming was a little puzzled.

"I heard that this night-walking ghost is extremely daring and has robbed the Third Young Master of his things. If you catch the night-walking ghost, you are helping the Third Young Master."

Liang Chuanshan gave a brief explanation and then took Song Changming out.

The carriage had already stopped outside the Patrol Office and was waiting.

Following Liang Chuanshan into the carriage, Song Changming saw an old man in a long gown with wide sleeves sitting inside.

"This must be Guard Captain Song." The old man bowed to Song Changming with a gentle smile.

"Hello, old friend." Song Changming also bowed in return.

On the way here, Liang Chuanshan mentioned this person's identity to him.

Although he had no official position, he was one of the stewards of the Xiao family and had served Xiao Yanli for many years. Even Director Liang Chuanshan had to be polite when he met this old servant.

"You are indeed a young and promising man, with a handsome appearance." Xiao Gu nodded with the same smile.

"You're too kind." Song Changming said modestly.

In the carriage, the old servant did not say much, but just exchanged a few polite words with Song Changming and Liang Chuanshan.

The carriage had a smooth journey and soon arrived outside the Xiao Mansion on Jinxiu Street.

The huge Xiao Mansion is surrounded by high walls on all sides, with red doors, golden plaques, and four majestic stone lions.

In terms of scale, the Xiao Mansion is probably larger than their entire Patrol Armor Division.

Song Changming followed Xiao Gu out of the carriage and walked into the Xiao Mansion, while Liang Chuanshan stayed in the carriage waiting.

Along the way, there are pavilions, waterside pavilions, strange rocks, flowers, gurgling water and lush greenery.

It was as if bricks and tiles were laid out in a huge garden and pavilions were built.

As for the scenery in the mansion, it is absolutely magnificent.

Only after Song Changming entered the Xiao Mansion did he realize what a truly wealthy family and the place where their children lived looked like. It was truly an eye-opener.

With such a large mansion, it wouldn’t be too much even if it could support more than a thousand people.

Song Changming didn't know which garden he entered before he finally felt he had arrived.

A large platform surrounded by water, with four pavilions located on it and an open space in the middle with many weapon racks.

"This is where the Third Young Master practices martial arts on weekdays. He will be here at this time." Xiao Gu led Song Changming to the side and said in a low voice.

Song Changming looked from afar and saw the third young master Xiao Yanli, whom he had met at the academic exchange meeting before, in the center of the large platform.

He was fighting with two family generals with a long sword in hand.

Even when facing two enemies alone, he still seemed to be able to handle the situation with ease.

There was also a row of family generals standing aside and watching. It was obvious that they were all serving as sparring partners for the three young masters today.

The two waited quietly without disturbing each other.

It was not until the Third Young Master finished his sword practice that a servant went to report.

The third young master wiped the sweat from his face and turned his head to look at Xiao Gu and Song Changming who were waiting in the distance.

"Let him come over."

After getting the consent, Xiao Gu made a gesture of invitation to Song Changming.

"Sorry to have kept Song Wei waiting for so long."

"It's my duty." Song Changming replied calmly, then walked into the platform, met the third son of the Xiao family, and bowed to him.

"I have read your past resume. Although you have been a patrol guard for a short time, you have already made countless achievements, both large and small. You are also quite outstanding among the patrol guards in various cities.

Especially the night ghost you captured yesterday, which was a vent for me. I believe that not only me, but also many other dignitaries in the city have noticed you. "

Xiao Yanli said this, giving high praise to the young patrol captain in front of him who was younger than him.

Given his status and vision, there are not many people who can be praised by him like this.

"I have an unwelcome request." After praising Song Changming, Xiao Yanli suddenly changed the subject.

"Please speak." Song Changming said seriously.

"I heard that you have great attainments in swordsmanship. It just so happens that I have a few skilled swordsmen here. If possible, can we have a sparring match?" Xiao Yanli made the request.

Obviously, he just wanted to see with his own eyes how strong Song Changming's skills were.

One is curiosity, and the other is to confirm.
