Martial Arts Song

Chapter 97 The Golden Nest
The young man who was slapped on the head was not angry at all. Instead, he said with a smile: "Brother Kunping is joking, how could I trap the people in your patrol room? I really want to invite the two officers to play." "

When Chen Qing heard this, he also understood what was going on.

In his previous life, this young man was one of those who allocated money in casinos.

However, this person still has to go fishing himself.

After listening to Tao Kunping's words, Mu Dachao on the side couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, the people on this side of the river are too insidious!"

While he was cursing, Tao Kunping smiled coldly after hearing the young man's words: "Really?"

Then, I saw him reaching into the pockets of the young man's clothes and trousers.

After a while, he took out dozens of dollars in banknotes and coins from the young man's body. Then, he grabbed the dozens of dollars with one hand and stretched them out to the young man. He sneered again: "You only have dozens of dollars in your body, and you dare to take people to the walled city to pretend to be rich and treat guests?"

The young man who was exposed still had a smile on his face and said, "Can't I invite the two officers to play with women? The women in the walled city only pay twenty yuan a time. Aren't these dozens of yuan enough?"

"Humph, you said you weren't a trap? You asked them to mess with those rotten crotches. You want to kill people, right?"

Tao Kunping snorted again.

One of the two kept talking nonsense, the other kept exposing the truth, and they talked for a long time.

Finally, the young man said with a speechless face: "Okay, okay, you can take these dozens of dollars and just treat it like I'm inviting you to tea, right? Drinking tea won't lead to a trap to harm others, right?!"

Hearing this, Tao Kunping snorted coldly, and while unhooking the young man's handcuffs, he said: "You are a wise boy, show me your best moves next time! Don't dare to trick anyone!"

Then, he was seen quietly putting the dozens of pieces he collected into his trouser pocket.

After the young man was released from the handcuffs, he stood up from the ground. After flexing his wrists, he glanced at Tao Kunping and Chen Qing, then turned and walked into the crowd.

Mu Dachao was stunned by this and said, "Just let him go like this?! Did he just set a trap to harm us two patrolmen?!"

"These flowerheads are all members of the Hammer Gang, and they are all veterans who have been in the palace for a few years. If they are caught in the patrol room, it will be as if they have gone home. They will not serve as a warning at all. Instead, they will waste the food inside."

Tao Kunping heard Mu Dachao's words, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Besides, he didn't succeed in setting up the trick just now, right? Okay, the situation here in Hexi is different from other places. I will take you to report first. On the way Let me tell you more in detail."

Hearing what he said, Mu Dachao couldn't say anything else.

Chen Qing, on the other hand, remained silent and did not stop the young man from leaving.

When he came, Chen Zhengzhong gave him the advice to "see more, learn more, and talk less", but in fact, he has always understood this truth.

He had just arrived and was not familiar with this side of the river, and he had never trusted the young man named "Hua Toubo". Even if Tao Kunping hadn't appeared, he would not have been fooled, so he was not in a hurry. Complain with that young man.

Everything will be discussed after he is familiar with the situation on this side of the river.

Afterwards, under the leadership of Tao Kunping, the two came to the patrol room on the river side.

The patrol room in Hexi District is not inside the towering and huge walled city, but on another street called "Xibei Road" outside.

There are not many people on this street, and the houses are a mixture of large wooden houses with steep roofs and cement houses. Some places are even a piece of loess, and no houses have been built.

The patrol house is located in the middle of this street. It is a three-story cement self-built bungalow with a courtyard. It occupies a very wide area.

When Chen Qing and Mu Dachao were brought here by Tao Kunping, Tao Kunping said with a smile: "...Okay, this is our patrol room in Hexi. I will have a rest today and will not go in with you. You can go in and report on your own. .”

As he spoke, he stepped back. After he finished speaking, he turned around and left along the street without giving Chen Qing a chance to speak.

Mu Dachao watched the other party leave and muttered in a low voice: "Why don't you give us the tea money collected from that 'Hua Tou Bo' before leaving? He clearly said he was treating us to tea..."

When Chen Qing heard this, he didn't say anything. Instead, he glanced at the huge arched city in the direction Tao Kunping left and said to Mu Dachao: "Let's go in and report."

Afterwards, the two walked into Hexi's patrol room.

……

"Assistant Inspector Chen Qing, number 3374, come and report!"

"Assistant Inspector Mu Dachao, number 3392, come and report!"

Hexi patrol room, inside the chief detective's office.

Chen Qing and Mu Dachao, who were led here by the old patrol officer at the information desk at the door, saluted a middle-aged man sitting in the office who was wearing an old patrol uniform but with a badge on his chest.

The middle-aged man was writing something at his desk. He stopped writing after the two came in and reported.

Then, I saw him sitting in his seat, with his hands on the table, his fingers crossed, and he said with a smile: "Welcome to join you. I am Liu Mingshun, the chief inspector here in Hexi. Let me tell you about our place first. Let’s talk about the salary situation. According to regulations, you need to go on patrol for one year first. During the patrol period, your salary will be based on that of a new assistant patrol officer. The monthly basic salary is 150 yuan, but there will be two per day. There is a meal subsidy of 100 yuan, as well as high temperature subsidies in summer and low temperature subsidies in winter. And the situation here in the river is special, and you also have special hazard subsidies..."

"Totaling all the subsidies, your monthly salary during the patrol period will be around two hundred and seventy. In addition, if you have meritorious service, there will be additional bonuses. However, I do not recommend that you do anything during the patrol period just for the bonus. Take action because this can be dangerous."

After introducing the treatment situation, Liu Mingshun looked at the two people with a smile and asked, "Do you understand?"

"clear."

Chen Qing and Mu Dachao heard this and nodded.

The monthly salary of a new assistant patrol officer is two hundred and seventy, which is almost equivalent to the total monthly income of three migrant workers in Chen Qing's family!
And this is just a new assistant patrol officer. Once he becomes an experienced patrol officer, his salary will be even higher.

Moreover, this is still visible income, and additional gray income does not count.

Like the previous Tao Kunping, he easily collected dozens of yuan of extra gray income, plus his usual salary, I think his life will be very comfortable in the future.

Of course, the premise is that you don’t get into the bad habit of gambling and drugs.

But in an environment like Hexi, this seems a bit difficult.

When Tao Kunping brought Chen Qing and the others over, he also explained to them what kind of place Hexi was on the way.

To put it simply, Hexi District is actually a huge gold sales den!

In the walled city on this side of the river, there are all kinds of gambling stalls, opium dens, and nightclubs, which are where the most negative desires and depravity of human nature are.

People come here to satisfy their desires in this area, so people come here from all walks of life, ranging from rich businessmen and powerful people in Jinguan District to poor workers in Nanba District, and even poor people with no clothes. Street beggars who are naked and don’t have enough to eat like to come here.

That's why the painting style here is so strange.

Of course, this is not a good place. It is paradise if you have money, but if you don't have money, it is hell.

Crimes caused by various human desires occur frequently here.

Some people lost all their money gambling, owed huge loan sharks, and jumped into rivers and cliffs;
Some people are addicted to smoking, have no money and are stalked by others. They are kicked, kicked and thrown out of opium dens and die on the streets;
There are also people who were cheated out of all their money by the young ladies here and then jumped into rivers and cliffs to die in love, etc.

These are only relatively good examples of only harming yourself and not harming others.

But more often than not, those who lost all their money and owed huge loan sharks sold their wives and daughters in exchange for money and continued gambling; those who were addicted to smoking and robbed and stabbed people to death for a few dozen yuan; those who were defrauded of all their money by a young lady. When I returned home, my parents continued to be deceived, and they died together with the whole family.

The chaos here is not the bottom-level interest struggle for a better life like in Nanba, but the criminal chaos caused by the darkest desires of human nature!
After learning this, Chen Qing actually wondered why Qianyang officials didn't care about this, but since the current situation could be formed, there must be a reason, so he didn't ask any more questions.

But if you live in such an environment and are exposed to it, you will inevitably be affected.

Like Tao Kunping, who told them this, Chen Qing could vaguely feel that this person must also be contaminated with some bad habits.

When the other party said goodbye to them, the direction they walked towards was the huge city in the distance.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Chen Qing.

Now he just wants to find a place to practice the "Golden Toad Swallowing" limit-breaking method.

"Okay, then I'll ask an old patrolman to take you with you for a few days to familiarize yourself with the daily work and environment here." After Chen Qing and Mu Dachao nodded to express their understanding, Liu Mingshun nodded with a smile, and then picked up his desk. I picked up the phone, turned around a few times, and made the call.

Soon, the call was connected, and he said calmly: "Call an old man to come in and familiarize the newcomers with the work and environment."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

After a while, a middle-aged man wearing an old patrol uniform opened the door and walked in with a smile on his face.

"Detective Liu, let me take them."

"Old money."

Liu Mingshun glanced at the person who came, smiled and introduced to Chen Qing and Mu Dachao: "He is Lao Qian, Qian Youqiang, we are the old patrolman here, he will lead you to get familiar with this place in the past few days. .”

After he finished speaking, the middle-aged man Qian Youqiang who came in smiled at Chen Qing and Mu Dachao and said, "You two little brothers, come with me. I will take you to familiarize yourself with the situation on this side of the river."

When Chen Qing and Mu Dachao heard this, they naturally nodded and said hello and thanked them.

Afterwards, Qian Youqiang led the two of them out of the detective's office and came to a hand-drawn street map hanging on the wall in the office area outside.

"I heard that you have seven groups of people here this time, plus the remaining groups from before. Your patrol range will be on this map every day."

Qian Youqiang first introduced the streets on the hand-drawn map to the two of them, "This is the map of our river. This is the walled city. With the walled city as the center, our side is Xibei Road, and the other side is Xinan Road. It's Xidong Road and Xixi Road, and further out here is Luoping Road, and here is..."

During the introduction, Chen Qing looked at the hand-drawn map of rivers and streams hanging on the wall in front of him and began to look for the locations of rivers, streams and pools.

When the other party almost finished speaking, Chen Qing almost remembered the water and streams on this side of the river.

"...Okay, the situation is almost like this. You two will start patrolling from tomorrow. The patrolling location is the Xinan Road area. I will take you there to take a look first."

Qian Youqiang said to the two of them after the introduction.

Chen Qing nodded after hearing this.

But Mu Dachao next to him was still staring at the map of the river in front of him. It took him a while to digest Qian Youqiang's words, and then he asked doubtfully: "Don't we need to patrol the walled city?"

In Qian Youqiang's introduction just now, he talked about the area around the walled city, but did not mention the inside of the walled city at all.

Qian Youqiang was stunned after hearing this, and then replied with a smile: "The Walled City is the territory of the Hammer Gang. They will maintain order over there and don't need us. We can just take care of the outside."

His answer made Mu Dachao stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Why?"

"You'll understand after you stay here for a while."

Qian Youqiang did not answer directly, but played riddles.

After what the other party said, Mu Dachao couldn't continue to ask further questions and had no choice but to give up.

However, Chen Qing couldn't help but think deeply after hearing this.

It seems that the walled city on the Hexi side is not as simple as it seems on the surface...

……

After that, the two of them visited the dormitory here under the leadership of Qian Youqiang, and then took them all the way to Xinan Road where they will patrol tomorrow to familiarize themselves with the environment and talk about various key points during the patrol.

On the way, they also met the previous patrol officer who was currently patrolling Xinan Road.

After the two parties briefly greeted each other, they passed by each other.

After getting familiar with the streets and alleys of Xinan Road, the time almost passed from morning to noon.

The three of them randomly found a noodle stall and had a simple bowl of noodles. Then Qian Youqiang took them to other streets to continue familiarizing themselves with the environment.

During this period, they bumped into several groups of classmates who had also come to report, and were led by the old patrolman to familiarize themselves with the environment and students who had been trained together.

After a simple greeting, everyone passed by.

Soon, the day passed.

Under the leadership of Qian Youqiang, Chen Qing and Mu Dachao also got a preliminary understanding of Hexi.

When he returned to the patrol room in the afternoon, Qian Youqiang said to the two of them: "After you come here to sign in tomorrow, go directly to Xinan Road and start patrolling. Remember the key points I told you today, 'Blow the whistle in advance and chase people. "If you don't chase the stronghold, don't chase those who have escaped into the stronghold. Do you remember?"

"Uh-huh."

Chen Qing and Mu Dachao nodded.

Afterwards, Qian Youqiang announced to the two of them that they were off work.

The first day of work is over.

A daily salary of nine yuan was obtained.

Chen Qing and Mu Dachao returned home from Hexi to Yunyang and Nanba together.

Early the next morning, Chen Qing came downstairs to Mu Dachao's house again, and the two of them went to work at the Hexi Patrol Room together.

However, today is different from yesterday.

Yesterday it was still rainy, but today the sun came out early in the morning - the dry weather is so moody.

Following Qian Youqiang's instructions yesterday, the two of them came to the patrol room to sign in, and then went directly to patrol the Xinan Road area.

Qian Youqiang also followed them and observed them for a while. After discovering that the two of them were abiding by the patrol rules he mentioned yesterday, he stopped staring at them. After talking to them, he returned to the patrol room.

As the time came to noon, the sun gradually rose above the head. While patrolling under the scorching sun and wearing uniforms, Chen Qing and Mu Dachao soon broke out in a sweat.

Then, when the two of them found a noodle stall to eat at noon, Chen Qing said to Mu Dachao: "Dachao, let's go swimming, the weather is too hot."

"swim?"

Mu Dachao, who was chewing noodles and sweat dripping down his face, looked up at Chen Qing and said, "But we still have to patrol in the afternoon."

"No more patrols. Why patrol on such a hot day? Have you forgotten what I told you before?"

Chen Qing said bewilderedly.

"But……"

Mu Dachao looked hesitant and said: "We just started working yesterday, wouldn't it be bad to skip work today?!"

"Too."

Chen Qing nodded and said: "Then you can patrol slowly in the afternoon, I'm going to find a place to swim."

Of course he didn't do it for swimming. Swimming was just an excuse. Even if it was still rainy today, he would find other reasons.

Yesterday, on the hand-drawn map, he had found several nearby places that felt suitable for practicing the "Golden Toad Swallowing" limit-breaking method, and now he was going to visit one of them on the spot.
