This kind of scene where someone is caught stealing something in the street is very common in various cities in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Of course, compared to the thefts that are discovered, there are obviously many more thefts that go undetected.
So Chen Ang subconsciously stood up and tried to stop the escaping thief.
But he had just stood up, and before he could take the next step, he was suddenly grabbed by the arm by the carpenter beside him.
"Old man, please don't get involved in this matter. You are an old man. If you let the thief get bumped into you again, it won't be worth it."
The carpenter spoke to persuade.
This was a good intention. Chen Ang naturally wouldn't be angry. He just said helplessly: "Then we can't just watch like this, right? In broad daylight, if such a thief is allowed to escape, I'm afraid it will make the criminals even worse in the future.
Acting unscrupulously.”
"Old man, don't worry. There are street patrol officers to deal with such people. The Lord Cheng Wei posted an announcement before. The general meaning is that whenever something like this happens, we ordinary people are not recommended to come forward to stop it.
, it is best to leave everything to the street patrol officers.
"First, we ordinary people are easily injured, and we may even lose our lives when encountering extremely vicious people. Second, if it is a petty theft, even if we are arrested, according to the Zhou law, we will not be detained for too long. If we
Ordinary people step in to stop it, but if they are targeted by these people and they come out of prison to take revenge, they will lose more than they gain."
The carpenter said with a smile.
Chen Ang was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Jiang Fan's statement made sense.
He really considered this kind of issue from the perspective of ordinary people. At least Chen Ang had never seen similar officials in his thirty years of teaching at Taixue!
But the problem is... it is simply impossible for the street patrol officers to arrive in time for such a petty theft...
Chen Ang sighed, and felt a little regretful as he saw the skinny man running closer.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly jumped over his head!
Immediately afterwards, this figure fell cleanly from the sky and landed on the skinny man's escape route, blocking the skinny man's path by less than two meters.
Without giving the skinny man any time to react, he followed the force of the skinny man's rapid running and punched him right in the face, knocking the skinny man unconscious easily...
Chen Ang opened his mouth subconsciously and looked stupidly at the figure who suddenly appeared and knocked out the thief. Looking at the police uniform that he was wearing, which was the same as the whole Zhou Dynasty, his mind was a little confused for a while.
.
This kind of skill can only be achieved by martial arts practitioners, right?
Why is this Heyang City's policeman still a warrior?
Even in Jinling City, there are warriors who serve as police officers... I can't say there are none, but they are definitely phoenix feathers and water chestnuts. Did you expect that there are such people in Heyang City?
Watching the detective bend down and find a money bag from the thief, he then carried the thief with one hand and walked to the woman who was chasing after him out of breath, and returned the money bag to the woman with a smile on his face.
When the woman couldn't help but thank her, she actually bowed to her and saluted. Chen Ang felt that a certain understanding he had always had was becoming confusing.
"Look, old man, am I right? There are street patrols and policemen who deal with such people. In Heyang, you should always be careful. The Lord Cheng Wei has already killed the gangsters in the city.
, the ruffians have been cleaned up, and now, there are still some petty thieves like this."
"The patrol officers and policemen are all watching. Anyone who dares to disturb the public order will be in trouble. Old man, let me put it here. There is no other city in the whole Zhou Dynasty that is safer than our Heyang.
, even Jinling is absolutely incomparable to our Heyang!"
The carpenter said proudly.
Chen Ang nodded blankly, then came back to his senses and asked strangely: "Sir Cheng Wei, you have cleaned up the gangsters and ruffians in the city? What's going on? Why do you do this?"
"Then who knows, Lord Cheng Wei seems to call this...'strike hard'? Yes! 'Crack down on gangsters and eradicate evil'! That's the word! I don't know the reason, but anyway, ever since Lord Cheng Wei put those gangsters
After all the ruffians are dealt with, Heyang will really have a bright and prosperous future."
The carpenter said with a smile.
"Crack down on gangsters...eliminate evil? Tsk tsk, that's interesting, done. Master, you're busy, I'm going to go talk to the catcher."
Chen Ang said, arching his hands towards the carpenter, then walking to the policeman not far away with his hands behind his back.
The police officer had just finished greeting the shopkeepers around him who had taken the initiative to greet them, and declined the food that some shopkeepers wanted to give as gifts. He was about to carry the knocked-out thief back to the government office when he saw an old man appearing in his door.
In front of you.
"Guan Ye, what do you call me?"
Chen Ang asked with a smile.
The catcher was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly replied with a smile: "Zhao Yan, don't call me an official. I'm just a young catcher. You can just call me catcher Zhao. I don't know...what's wrong with you, old man?"
"
"Oh, Agent Zhao. Nothing's wrong. I arrived in Heyang for the first time today. Everything I saw was really new, so I took the liberty to say hello to Agent Zhao. I wanted to chat with him for a few words. I shouldn't delay Zhao.
It’s official business for the police, right?”
Chen Ang asked with a smile.
Zhao Yan glanced at the thief in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "It's normal for an old man to be curious about some things in Heyang for the first time here. However, I am really busy with official duties. If the old man wants to talk, I will try my best to
How about keeping the story short?"
Such a meek and kind response put Chen Ang in a great mood, and his evaluation of Zhao Yan was once again raised a few points.
"Don't worry, I'm not a nagging person. I'm just a little curious. Detective Zhao... Judging from your skills, you must be a martial arts practitioner, right?"
Chen Ang asked with a smile.
"Yes, I have good eyesight. I am a third-grade warrior."
Zhao Yan nodded and admitted.
"A third-grade warrior... is enough to be the head catcher in any city. Even in some small cities, it is not a problem to be the chief catcher. Even if he does not have an official status, he can be the head catcher. The level of chief catcher is not at all.
It’s not high. If you want to get special approval, it won’t be difficult. I wonder why Agent Zhao is willing to be an agent in Heyang? If I’m not wrong, among all the agents in Heyang City, Agent Zhao should be the best.
The most powerful one, right? Even...possibly the only warrior?"
Chen Ang asked curiously.
Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head again: "Old man, you are really wrong about this. We have a total of sixty-one agents in Heyang, all of them are warriors, and I... am actually the weakest one."
Gah?! What did you say?!
Chen Ang's eyes widened and he was stunned on the spot.
