Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 97 New General Manager
"You really helped a lot today." Liang Chuanshan said gratefully.

If Song Changming hadn't come today, he would have been in great danger in this turmoil.

If he died, his wife, children and the elderly at home would be in danger. Whenever Liang Chuanshan thought of this, he felt a pang of fear in his heart.

"It may take some time for the unrest in this city to subside. Why don't you come to my place to recuperate?" Song Changming suggested to Liang Chuanshan.

"No, I can just call Lu Gang and the others over. We can get through this period together." Liang Chuanshan said.

After hearing this, Song Changming no longer forced it. His Song residence really couldn't accommodate too many people. He just said that if there was any danger again, he could contact him at any time.

In fact, the two families are not far away from each other, so they will not be slow in supporting each other.

Several days passed like this.

During this period, Liang Chuanshan and Lu Gang and other patrol guards huddled together for warmth, and no one dared to offend them anymore.

Thanks to Song Changming's presence in San Hutong, after driving away several waves of ignorant people, the entire alley was protected, and no one was killed in the turmoil.

At the same time, news finally arrived about the imperial army.

It is said that the army advanced in three directions and had penetrated deep into Donglai County. Every county town they passed through surrendered without encountering any resistance.

Therefore, the army quickly arrived at the city of Donglai County, put down the chaos in the city, and arrested many evildoers.

Looking at this huge crowd of soldiers in iron helmets and armor, no one dared to cause trouble in the city.

Upon learning that the county magistrate had fled, the army immediately sent out troops to track down his whereabouts, seemingly not intending to let Xiao Jingchuan go.

After the imperial court learned that Donglai County had been taken over by the army, it quickly sent a new county magistrate to take office.

The new county governor and new officials also enabled the county governor's office, which had been paralyzed for more than ten days, to begin operating again.

The destroyed order in Donglai County also began to be rebuilt and repaired.

Looking back at the past ten days, the people of the county town felt a little dazed, as if they had just crawled out of hell. Now they could see the light of day again and no longer had to worry every night and have trouble sleeping.

A new director general was also parachuted into the General Security Department where Song Changming worked.

The first thing the director general did after taking office was to take away the resume files of all the patrol officers under his command and began to order people to conduct a thorough investigation.

The expected purge of officials began.

This wave of purge is not only aimed at getting rid of the remnants of the former county governor, but also at getting rid of corrupt officials and some officials with unsatisfactory abilities.

These vacant positions will be replaced by new people under the jurisdiction of the new county magistrate.

As Song Changming expected, he successfully survived this wave of purge without any major incidents.

No one even mentioned Xiao Shuyun's private friendship.

In addition, his background is extremely clean. He was born into a local farming family and is a model of grassroots rise.

Their past achievements and demonstrated strength have shown them to be the elite among the elite, and their abilities are beyond doubt.

As for corruption and bribery, Song Changming has no serious criminal record.

Although he is not spotless, he has not done anything out of line. Compared with other patrol guards, he is much more obedient.

There was nothing wrong with it, so it was only natural that Song Changming passed the test smoothly.

Because his past resume was so impressive, he even got the first meeting with the new director-general.

Arrived at an inner courtyard of the headquarters.

This was where Xie Shihuan often stayed before. Sometimes when he felt tired, he would take a nap alone in this courtyard.

Xie Shihuan loved flowers, so the entire inner courtyard is not big, but it is surrounded by various flowers. Even in autumn, the fragrance is still overflowing and the garden is full of spring colors.

This was not the first time that Song Changming came to this inner courtyard. In the past, he would come here to see Xie Shihuan occasionally when he reported his tasks.

But today, the person standing in the yard with his hands behind his back admiring the flowers is no longer the familiar figure of the past.

"I'm Song Changming, your honor to meet you, sir." After taking two steps into the courtyard, Song Changming bowed and saluted.

"Well, no need to be so polite." The new director general turned around and said.

The new director general wore armor, a crown on his head, a long sword at his waist, a half black beard, narrow eyes that were shining with brilliance, and looked quite capable.

"I've read your past resume and achievements, they're pretty good, especially since you're still so young. There's so much potential for growth." Zhuang Ren said with a faint smile, his tone fairly gentle.

"Thank you for your praise, sir." Song Changming replied calmly.

"The report submitted to me said that you have already reached the fifth level of body refining, and your strength is second to none among all the patrol chiefs in the headquarters. Is that true or not?" Zhuang Ren asked.

"I do have the fifth level of physical cultivation. As for other patrol captains, I have never actually competed with them." Song Changming said seriously.

"Come on, fight with me." Zhuang Ren said directly.

He wanted to understand the depth of Song Changming's strength, and the simplest and clearest way was to try it himself.

As he spoke, the new director general drew the sword from his waist.

The blade of this sword is slightly broad and thick, and does not have the thin and light feeling of ordinary sword blades. It looks extremely tough.

Seeing this, Song Changming knew that it was impossible to refuse, so he simply drew out his dragon-patterned knife.

"Good knife!" Zhuang Ren couldn't help but praise the dragon-patterned knife when he saw it unsheathed, and then said, "Don't be afraid of me, use all your strength. I only have one request, I like the flowers here very much, you must not destroy them."

"Yes." Song Changming agreed.

"Come!" Zhuang Ren said with a faint smile. He had already felt the sword power accumulating and rising from Song Changming.

Very strong, which made him very satisfied.

The next moment, Song Changming said be careful, then exerted force on his feet and rushed out like an arrow.

With just two steps, the distance between the two people was instantly shortened.

In a moment, the Soul-Breaking Sword was swung out, and a sinister wind wrapped around the blade. It seemed that countless evil spirits emerged from behind Song Changming and from the sword, and pounced towards the opponent in front of them.

For a moment, Zhuang Ren felt as if the sky was dark and he was falling into an icy cave.

Before the knife arrives, the "force" already overwhelms people and disturbs their hearts!
Zhuang Ren had already made his own judgment on this wonderful, natural knife move.

The ultimate swordsmanship at the perfect level!
The strength of the young patrolman in front of him far exceeded his expectations!

"Good boy!" Zhuang Ren's expression lost its ease and indifference, and he suddenly thrust out the sword in his hand.

The sword light was like the sun at dawn, burning and boiling!
If we say that Song Changming's sword moves were natural, it was like a huge net covering the sky.

The new director-general's sword was like the hottest beam of light from the scorching sun, piercing directly through the big net he had woven.

Hundreds of ghosts disappeared, and their sword power that soared into the sky immediately eliminated the influence of Song Changming's sword power.

As the swords clashed, a huge force surged from the swords. Zhuang Ren's body swayed, but he did not retreat a single step.

"His strength is amazing, much stronger than that of ordinary warriors at the fifth level of bone forging!"

Seeing that the new commander was not suppressed by his strength, Song Changming let go completely, and his outstanding sword skills poured out.

In a flash, the two sides exchanged dozens of moves.

No matter how Song Changming speeds up and exerts his strength, the opponent can always match the strength of his sword.

In terms of strength, he might be stronger, but only slightly better.

In terms of speed, the opponent matched his offensive rhythm and was obviously more at ease.

It can be seen that the new general manager has unfathomable strength.

Song Changming estimated that this person had at least reached the sixth level of physical cultivation, and might even have reached the seventh level!
And his sword skills have also reached the pinnacle!

"So strong!" Song Changming said in his heart.

At this moment, Zhuang Ren suddenly sped up again, and the long sword in his hand instantly turned into nine sword shadows, pointing towards Song Changming.

Song Changming was unable to dodge and subconsciously used the flying sword style, which made his sword move faster and more agile.

"Huh!" Zhuang Ren felt the completely different force of Song Changming's sword.

The long sword created a wave of air, making sounds like the chirping of hundreds of birds and wind chimes.

The knife movement path is completely different from just now.

"This is another set of sword skills! Although it is not perfect, the sword power is already extremely strong!"

These thoughts flashed through Zhuang Ren's mind, and all changes happened in an instant.

The flashes of swords and sabers collided briefly and continuously in the air, so fast that they were almost invisible to the naked eye.

Only the flickering and interlacing of light and shadows remain!

Finally, Song Changming took a step back, took a breath, and said, "Your Excellency is a master of martial arts. I am willing to admit that you are better than me."

It seemed that he had blocked the opponent's nine swords and was not at a disadvantage.

But he knew that this was the last time the opponent let up and did not go all out, otherwise, there would have been at least three more sword holes in his body.

This military officer who was parachuted in from the imperial court is indeed very powerful.

There is nothing shameful in admitting defeat.

"When I was your age, I didn't have your skills. I just relied on the fact that I practiced martial arts for twenty more years." Zhuang Ren shook his head and put away his sword.

Today, the strength displayed by Song Changming really gave him a great surprise.

This person is definitely a capable and capable person.

"Given your bravery, why didn't the Donglai County Magistrate take you away before?" Zhuang Ren asked.

If he were the county magistrate, he would have subdued Song Changming before escaping.

"After so many years in Donglai County, I can't think of any reason to leave," Song Changming said bluntly.

It wasn't that the Donglai County Magistrate didn't want to take him away, but that he himself wanted to stay and not associate with them.

Zhuang Ren patted Song Changming on the shoulder and nodded, saying, "It is a wise choice to stay. The Xiao family governor is finished. No matter how chaotic the court is, it is not something a small governor like him can contend with."

"Work hard under me in the future. If there is a chance, I will take you to the imperial capital!"
