Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 98: Centennial Mountain Ginseng
Coming out of the yard, Song Changming knew that he had won the initial trust of his new boss.

that's enough.

Afterwards, Song Changming returned to his original job. The first task he accepted was to escort those who seriously disrupted the order to the execution ground and behead them in the street in order to shock the people.

There are quite a lot of people in this group. There are hundreds of people whose crimes are serious, and there are thousands of people who are trying to take advantage of the situation while their crimes do not deserve the death penalty.

And these are only those caught by the government and the army; there are still many that have escaped and have not yet been caught.

This group of people played a significant role in fueling the unrest in the city over the past period of time.

They are either ruffians or profit-seeking, evil-doers. The crimes they have committed are enough to warrant beheading each of them seven or eight times.

Therefore, there was no need for any trial at all, just take him away and chop him off.

"Kill! Great kill!"

"How many families have been harmed by these beasts!"

"A bunch of heartless people! They should have been chopped into pieces long ago!"

"Oh God, please open your eyes!"

"."

At Caishikou, countless people watched this scene, and the verbal abuse could not be stopped.

Some of the victims even wished they could carry out the execution themselves.

"The time has come, execution will begin immediately!"

At the order given by the executioner, countless people on the platform were so scared that their pants were wet. The executioner did not delay for a moment, and he wielded the knife, and the head fell to the ground cleanly and neatly.

As batches of evil criminals were beheaded, the prestige of the county magistrate's office, which had originally plummeted, once again established an image of rule in the hearts of the people and was feared and respected.

The new county magistrate soon earned the title of an iron-fisted and tough ruler.

In fact, the new county magistrate was indeed decisive and resolute in his actions, and he never delayed important matters.

Before long, all the important affairs of the County Magistrate's Office were sorted out in order.

I can only say that he is worthy of being an official from the imperial capital, and his abilities are still very reliable.

On the other hand, at the General Security Directorate, Song Changming was entrusted with an important task by his new superior to assist in the rectification of the General Directorate and the patrol offices in various urban areas.

In the past, Xie Shihuan took away too many patrol guards and patrol captains at once, and even several directors ran away. The strength of the Patrol Division and the General Security Bureau was severely reduced.

If you want to restore your past strength, you still need time to recuperate and accumulate slowly.

But no matter what, the security situation in the city has stabilized.

Later, as winter approached, the climate began to gradually turn colder.

Houli Street, Chunfengyuan.

Song Changming met with his old acquaintances Liang Chuanshan, Lu Gang, and Zhou Sixin who was still in the headquarters, for a drink.

Today, Liang Chuanshan is still in charge of the Patrol Division of Houli Street, while Lu Gang, recommended by Song Changming, went to Changting Street to be the chief of the Patrol Division. He seized the opportunity of the shortage of staff in the city's Patrol Division and was promoted.

"For the common people, this winter may be a bit difficult to endure." Song Changming shook his head as he looked at the brick and tile wall outside the window that was gradually covered with frost.

"Indeed." Liang Chuanshan sighed and nodded.

The most outrageous thing Xiao Jingchuan did was to take away all the stored grain in the county town's granary.

Coupled with the previous turmoil, I am afraid that many people will not have enough food this winter and will starve to death.

By then, the county magistrate's office would not even be able to open its granaries to provide grain.

"I heard that the county magistrate has reported to the court and wants to get some grain shipped over, but there has been no news so far. I think it's hopeless." Zhou Sixin shook his head.

"Although the old emperor is still able to manage affairs, the situation in the court is still very complicated. I am afraid he cannot take care of our Donglai County."

The three of them were silent for a while.

They also did not think the new county magistrate would be able to get food.

"I also heard that the imperial court's army encountered the army of County Magistrate Xiao outside the county! And they fought a tough battle!" Liang Chuanshan said suddenly.

"Brother Liang, where did you hear the news? You know all this." Zhou Sixin said in surprise.

"I have my own way." Liang Chuanshan said complacently.

Song Changming, who was standing by, knew something about it. Liang Chuanshan's information channels mainly came from dealing with those caravans and businesses that traveled around the country all year round.

Liang Chuanshan could get news about some things happening in the world, but the reliability of the news was not 100% accurate.

But this is still very good. After all, none of them are as well-informed as Liang Chuanshan.

"Brother Liang, what's the result?" Lu Gang asked.

"Naturally the imperial court won. Don't you see how fierce those 50,000 border guards are? The soldiers from the other six counties are just there to make up the numbers. This border guard alone is enough to make the Xiao family army flee in panic." Liang Chuanshan smacked his lips.

He had personally witnessed the demeanor of this powerful army when the border guards entered the city before, and he still remembers it.

“But I heard that although many people from County Magistrate Xiao’s side died, they were not completely wiped out and were allowed to escape,” Liang Chuanshan added after taking a sip of hot wine.

"I used to think that the Xiao family might still rise again, but now I feel that its demise is only a matter of time."

Song Changming didn't say anything about this, but this lesson taught him not to get involved in the party struggle easily.

This is the most dangerous thing in the world.

"By the way, Changming, the high-aged wild ginseng you asked me to look out for before, I recently heard about the whereabouts of a hundred-year-old ginseng. It is in the hands of a caravan in Lianhua County. Do you want it?"

After three rounds of drinks, Liang Chuanshan looked at Song Changming and asked.

"If the price is right, I'll take it." Song Changming nodded.

High-quality and high-year-old mountain ginseng is of great use to him in body training.

However, this kind of ginseng is rare, so he will collect it if he can.

It is said that he has been practicing the Bull Demon Power for so many years, but has never taken hundred-year-old wild ginseng to assist in his practice.

There was a record on the parchment, saying that taking ginseng that was over a hundred years old and then practicing this skill would have miraculous effects.

He had been curious about what kind of miraculous effects it could have, but hundred-year-old ginseng was hard to come by and was too expensive, so he did not have the financial resources to buy it in the past.

It was not until now that he had some wealth that he thought about buying it.

"Okay then. I'll have someone get it for you when the time comes." Liang Chuanshan nodded.

Three days later, Song Changming got the century-old ginseng worth nine hundred silver coins.

Although the price hurt him a little, the effect of this century-old ginseng was indeed quite gratifying.

After taking it, he could clearly feel the surging power of the medicine, constantly stimulating every part of his body.

On the day of practicing the Bull Demon Skill, the experience points increased by more than ten points.

You have to know that in the past, this kind of physical training might not necessarily improve at all in two or three days.

In addition, a small amount of experience points also increased from the other three body-building skills he practiced.

After that, the medicinal power of the hundred-year-old ginseng lasted for a month.

During this month, as long as Song Changming is in the "God rewards hard work" training bonus state, the experience value of the Bull Demon Skill will increase every day.

It is no exaggeration to say that the efficiency of this training has doubled compared to before!

This is the help that a hundred-year-old mountain ginseng brings to his body training.

I have to say, it really works wonders.

He couldn't help but think that if he could use this hundred-year-old mountain ginseng for endurance every month, perhaps the Bull Demon Skill, which originally required several years of hard practice to make progress, could now break through to the sixth level of Bone Tempering in just one year!
It’s a pity that this thing is good, but it’s too expensive.

He really couldn't use this hundred-year-old ginseng to practice all year round.

First, there is not enough money, and second, there is no stable supply channel.

If the Xiao family still existed, he would have the opportunity to purchase more century-old ginseng through Xiao Shuyun.

But now that the Xiao family has fallen, Liang Chuanshan has to rely on luck to a certain extent. It is not every month that he can come across a hundred-year-old ginseng in Donglai County.

"With my current savings, I can buy three more hundred-year-old ginsengs at most."

Song Changming calculated the assets he had accumulated over the years and made a rough estimate.

Among them, the monthly salary of the chief patrol officer only accounted for a small part of his total income.

Most of it came from the rewards offered by the General Administration for wanted persons, which accounted for the bulk of his savings.

In addition, Song's father's silkworm breeding business finally turned a profit this year, and he was gradually able to sell at a high price and obtain profit income.

But we have just started out and the profit is not much. On average, we can only earn about 10 to 20 copper coins per month.

It will take more time to verify how strong this business’s ability to make money is.

As the New Year approaches, the cold wind howls outside the city, mixed with flecks of snow like drifting snowflakes.

On the official road, the ground was shaking and a group of horses were galloping past, each with a person sitting on it.

He was wearing dark blue armor, a helmet on his head, a sword at his waist, and a crossbow on his back.

This outfit would not be unfamiliar to anyone; it was the patrol team that was in charge of public security in each city.

The eye-catching gold-edged stripes on the collar and sleeves indicate that they are the patrol team of the county city headquarters.

The man at the head of the team, riding a black horse, was the new Director General Zhuang Ren.

Following closely behind were Song Changming and two other chief patrol officers.

Next came the chief general's personal guards, sixteen in total.

These sixteen people are all extremely powerful. They were all brought by the Director-General from the Imperial Capital. Each of them has a physical strength above the fourth level!
Even letting them be patrol chiefs would be more than enough.

After that, there came nearly a hundred patrol guards from the General Administration.

The entire team rushed towards Luolong River, a large port near the sea.

There is only one thing to do.

Kill the bandits!
