Chapter 77 Promotion to Patrol Chief

As soon as the next day dawned, Lin Jiu and Shao Lin left in a hurry.

Jiang Chen also returned to his usual life, he wandered around when he had nothing to do on weekdays, and lived a very comfortable life until three days later, the county magistrate finally came back and summoned everyone there.

The county magistrate was a hale and hearty old man. He was watching the crowd in silence at this moment, and he didn't speak until a moment later.

"The higher-ups already know about this matter, you have worked hard."

"Each person will be credited once, rewarded with 20 taels of silver, and their salary will be doubled."

"Jiang Chen made the most contribution during this trip, and I announce that Jiang Chen has been promoted to be the head arrester of the yamen."

After the county magistrate finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Chen with deep meaning in his eyes. Lin Jiu had already reported Jiang Chen's achievements, so he could naturally understand what it means to have such strength at a young age.

Others couldn't help showing enthusiasm when they heard the county magistrate's reward. 20 taels of silver was enough to improve their lives, and they could also have some spare money to buy medicinal soup for practicing kung fu.

After returning from Hutouling, everyone became more aware of the importance of martial arts, and they didn't want to be as slack about practicing martial arts as before.

At the same time, he also looked at Jiang Chen with envy, good guy, this promotion speed is fast enough, and he became their leader all of a sudden.

"My lord, I want to know where the boss has gone." But Jiang Chen frowned after hearing the magistrate's words.

For him to take over Zhou Zhan's position, something must have happened to Zhou Zhan that time, and Jiang Chen was required to take his place.

After hearing Jiang Chen's words, the others reacted one after another.

"Yeah, why haven't I seen the boss until now?"

The county magistrate waved his hand, and everyone fell silent, looking at him.

"Don't ask about Zhou Zhan's affairs. He has left the county to perform a secret mission."

"Don't ask any more, this is confidential."

"Jiang Chen will be the new patrol chief from now on, you can find him if you need anything."

"Jiang Chen, come and find me in the back hall later."

After the county magistrate finished speaking, he ignored everyone and left quickly.

Not long after the old man left, everyone reacted and surrounded Jiang Chen.

"Congratulations, Jiang Chen, you are now the head of the patrol, and I will call you the head in the future." Zhou Zheng said sincerely, Jiang Chen saved him several times, and he was really convinced by Jiang Chen.

"Everyone is joking, and I just found out." Jiang Chen was also a little surprised, he never thought of becoming a police officer at all.

But after he thought about it, after becoming the chief patrol officer, he would not have to go out to perform official duties every day, and he would have more free time to do what he wanted to do. With this thought, Jiang Chen readily accepted it.

In a few days, he will be able to go to Qingxuguan to learn the five thunders of Taoist Mountain and Sea.

"I didn't expect that the youngest you would become our boss!" Jiang Chen's strength was obvious to all, so naturally no one had any objections.

After congratulating everyone, they went out to start their day's work.

"I don't know what the county magistrate wants from me!" Jiang Chen took one, walked through the hall, and walked to the back hall of the yamen.

The back hall of the yamen is a small garden. The small garden is full of green light, and the fresh earthy smell overflowing from the grass makes people feel refreshed.

Jiang Chen strode forward, and soon came to an elegant gazebo. Inside the gazebo, the county magistrate had been waiting quietly for a long time.

"I kept you waiting for a long time." Jiang Chen hurriedly stepped forward and saluted with fists.

"You don't need to be too polite, just sit down." The county magistrate signaled Jiang Chen to sit down, Jiang Chen didn't show any pretense, walked into the gazebo and sat opposite the county magistrate.

The county magistrate was not in a hurry to speak, and poured Jiang Chen a cup of crystal clear green tea on his own, as if sensing that Jiang Chen was about to stop talking, the old man said slowly: "What's the matter, let's talk about it after drinking this cup of tea."

Jiang Chen nodded, picked up the teacup with both hands, and carefully sipped the cup of thick scented tea. The scented tea was bitter and sweet, and the warm liquid went straight to his throat through the tip of his tongue, soaking into his heart and spleen.

The fragrance of tea can't be stopped, like the spring breeze blowing on the spring water, causing ripples.

"Good tea!" Although Jiang Chen doesn't understand tea, he can still taste good tea.

"I know what you want to ask, so don't inquire about Zhou Zhan's affairs." The county magistrate said.

"Although I don't know what happened to you, I have to remind you, be careful of those people from the Black Tiger Gang. Not everyone is sincere. There are thousands of beautiful things in the world, and we can't take them all in our hearts. middle."

"You don't need to ask for something that doesn't belong to you, and you don't need to force it if you can't get it!" The county magistrate said with a serious tone.

After Jiang Chen heard about it, he was shocked, and realized that he might not be able to hide from the old man in front of him that he became the head of the Chasing Hall of the Black Tiger Gang.

"Your Excellency doesn't seem to mind that I hold an important position in the Black Tiger Gang." Jiang Chen asked rhetorically, since the county magistrate knew about it, Jiang Chen simply didn't have to hide it.

"You are still you, that's enough." The county magistrate glanced at Jiang Chen and took a sip of tea.

"My lord, I have a few questions, please answer them." The words in the county magistrate's mouth made Jiang Chen even more confused, and he was eager to know the answer.

"tell me the story."

"My lord, I want to know, can it be that the superiors really can't control the Black Tiger Gang? A small gang can be easily suppressed as long as the superiors send people over casually, but why do they sit idly by." Jiang Chen stared at the old man and said.

Hearing this, the magistrate squinted his eyes, took another sip of tea, and after a moment of silence, spoke again.

"There are some things that can't just be seen on the surface. The Black Tiger Gang naturally has its meaning, just like there is day and night."

"As long as the county can maintain a balanced state, that's the best situation. The higher-ups don't want to see this balanced situation broken."

"You don't have to worry about it, you will understand when the time comes." Jiang Chen was even more confused by the magistrate's words.

"During this time, I want you to train the patrol room well. The county town is too small, and staying here will only limit your growth."

"I already know that you are going to join the Demon Slayer Alliance. You can go to work in a bigger city after the order from above comes." The county magistrate sighed, stood up and patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder.

"This world is too chaotic, you have to become stronger." The county magistrate did not give Jiang Chen a chance to continue speaking, closed his eyes, and waved Jiang Chen to leave.

"What the county magistrate said is, no matter what, I just need to become stronger." Jiang Chen took a deep breath, dispelled the fog in his heart, and simply stopped entangled.

Jiang Chen walked out of the yamen, seeing the constant pedestrians on the street, some carrying burdens, some driving ox carts to deliver goods, some driving donkeys to pull trucks, and some stopping to enjoy the scenery of the Bian River, he couldn't help feeling yearning, but very This thought was quickly dispelled by him.

"In a world where demons make trouble, I must become stronger!" Jiang Chen's eyes became more determined, and he walked all the way to the muddleheaded medicine shop.
