"Flowers bloom all year round, and there are two tigers..."
In the small shabby house with dim oil lights, Mao Er and Yan Tie were drinking and drinking. The old man Huo Rong who was at the same table with them was already drunk, hugging a bench and crying bitterly:
"Xiuhong... Xiaodong... why can't you mother and son wait a moment?! I met a good city lord and am rich..."
He has repeated this no less than two hundred times. Mao Er and Yan Tie already knew that ten years ago Huo Rong's son was injured and died due to lack of money for treatment.
He died in depression eight years ago.
Snapped!
"So annoying!"
Yan Tie, who was drunk, just drank the last sip of wine because he lost. When he saw that he was out of wine, his eyes turned red and he stood up, grabbed Huo Rong and cursed angrily:
"Why are you crying?! Let's go! Get revenge!"
Hearing this, Mao Er suddenly stood up and shouted:
"Go, go, go!"
"revenge?!"
Huo Rong, whose face turned red, was suddenly startled, and then a ferocious smile appeared on his face.
In the past, he would never dare to think about revenge, but today is different! Everything is different!
"Walk!"
The old man yelled and went to find a kitchen knife. How could Mao Er, who was stronger than him and drunk too much, let him do this in vain? Although Huo Rong's enemy was from a 'big family', he was just a golden elixir.
With my early cultivation level, as a subordinate of the city lord, why should I worry about that big family?! I can take care of that kid in a few seconds!
"Walk!"
The three of them walked shoulder to shoulder, walked out of the broken door crookedly, walked onto the rancid path, then onto the main street, and finally turned into a small alley...
…
Early the next morning, Zhang Baoer was awakened by the cries outside the city lord's palace. He washed his face and hurriedly led Hong Qi, who had come to report, out.
Tian Xiao and others were already standing outside the door. Huo Rong, Yan Tie and Mao Er were also there. Zhang Baoer frowned. He guessed what happened after just one glance, because these three people had blood on their bodies.
, and the group of people who were kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly cast hateful glances at the three of them from time to time.
"what happened?!"
As soon as Zhang Baoer's voice sounded, the cries and discussions around him disappeared, and everyone turned their attention to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Sir, we..."
Yan Tie and Mao Er, who had sobered up, trotted over to report, but Zhang Baoer stopped them with a wave of their hands as soon as they spoke, and asked them and Huo Rong who were following them to step aside first, so that the sight of the 'Suffering Lord' could not be seen.
Can face him.
Although this action may seem simple, it contains a lot of profound meaning - a person who does not listen to his close confidants first but listens to the words of outsiders is not selfless and dare not speak out, but at the very least he still has a "fair" heart.
Seeing this, the eyes of an old man in sixty's armor shone brightly, and he quickly knelt over and kowtowed:
"Please, sir, make the decision for us! Sir, please..."
"hehe!"
Zhang Baoer interrupted him with a sneer:
"Don't pretend to be miserable if you don't have tears! Tell me the whole story!"
Hearing this, the old man trembled violently, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He quickly waved his hand back and told the weak old women and children in their thirties and forties kneeling behind him to silence, and then he tremblingly said everything...
…
Since Huo Rong was present, the old man also knew Huo Rong's current identity. He was a measured person, so he did not hide the fact that his adopted son beat Huo Rong's son to death, and even treated Huo Rong in the past ten years.
The suppression was also briefly mentioned.
Soon after, Zhang Baoer understood that the reason why the old man had the courage to complain was actually to beg him. The vague words revealed that not long after he adopted the adopted son, the old man gave birth to a biological son.
The person who was beaten to death by the three people was their adopted son. They could not pursue any charges, or even pay compensation. They just wanted to let go of the biological son who hid when he saw the situation was bad, because although he was not the murderer, he was an accomplice... That's what the old man did.
He has only one sprout, please let him go!
After the old man finished speaking, Zhang Baoer lowered his head and fell into deep thought. After a long time, he looked at the old man and asked bluntly:
"How much compensation are you willing to pay?!"
The people around seemed to be accustomed to the fact that the victim had to spend money to ward off the disaster, and did not make any fuss about it.
The old man was overjoyed, and then he kowtowed in his heart and said:
"Five, five hundred and three spiritual stones... This is all the old man's belongings..."
Zhang Baoer nodded noncommittally, then turned to look at Huo Rong, who was unwilling to do so.
"What do you mean?"
Huo Rong lowered his head and thought for a moment. He didn't know what he thought of. Then he squeezed his fists and squeezed out a voice from between his teeth:
"……Can……"
"All right!"
Zhang Baoer nodded and said:
"Then you should pay this old man five hundred and thirty-one spiritual stones as compensation!"
"What?!"
Everyone was stunned, thinking that they heard wrongly, and their eyes were full of disbelief.
After making sure that he heard correctly, Huo Rong couldn't help but ask:
"Why?"
"Why?! Haha..."
Zhang Baoer repeated his words and sneered:
"It would be fine if we seek justice through legal proceedings... But as a law enforcer, disregarding justice will be punished with an extra level of crime! You Huo Rong, as the president of the council, you Mao Er... and Yan Tie, you are
As the deputy director of the Internal Affairs Bureau, you should understand this truth. Now that you are claiming your identity and killing people wantonly, you still ask me why?! Humph! Feng Qing!"
"exist!"
In the eyes of the three people who were struck by lightning, Feng Qing, who was in charge of the secretary's duties, stepped forward from behind to wait for orders.
"It is recorded that if you commit it again, you will be punished severely for misdemeanors and aggravated felonies!"
"yes!"
Feng Qing wrote quickly without hesitation, Zhang Baoer looked at Tian Xiao again and said:
"Heaven roars! Like a tiger!"
"exist!"
"Drinking alcohol, killing people, knowing the law and breaking the law, all crimes will be punished simultaneously. Three people will be whipped thirty lashes each in public. The whips will show blood, as a warning to others!"
"yes!"
Wow!
People couldn't bear it any longer and started talking. This was the first time they had seen this kind of thing. They had never heard of this kind of city lord. They were all asking themselves, 'Isn't strength the most important thing?'
Zhang Baoer didn't stay any longer and decided to go back and take another nap. He turned around and left under the awe-inspiring eyes of everyone. When he passed by Huo Rong and the other three people, all three of them lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.
Zhang Baoer left, but the square did not quiet down because of his departure. Instead, it became more and more noisy, and eventually spread to every corner of the city. Almost everyone said that the new city lord was Master Qingtian...
The client, Zhang Baoer, plugged her ears and continued to sleep.
…
When it was close to noon, City Lord Zhang Dada had woken up but didn't want to go out. He was still lying on the bed to escape the heat. Tang Tiantian fell off the bed and then dragged him out of the door.
The reason is very simple. Tang Tiantian is hungry. When Zhang Baoer is around, she won't eat what others cook.
Also coming with her was the unicorn horse whose tail was now growing, and as soon as she went out, Zhang Baoer almost got wet in the face by its tail.
He walked into the kitchen with a grimace. The girls had already prepared everything and would open fire just waiting for the command from City Master Zhang...
Not long after we finished our meal, Hong Qi came to tell us that ‘the selection has been completed’.
Zhang Baoer had no choice but to kick the unicorn horse, which was lying on the ground taking a nap after eating the meat, to stand up, and then rode it out the door.
The square and the surrounding streets were crowded with people. The windows facing the square were all opened and crowded.
The selected people are only 300 regular troops and 100 Internal Affairs Bureau officers, a total of 400 people! More people are losers or spectators. There are many people cheering from the outside. They should be the selected people.
of relatives and friends.
When he saw City Lord Zhang, who was wearing a homemade white linen shirt and shorts and riding a majestic unicorn horse, he immediately burst into deafening cheers that lasted for a long time.
Zhang Baoer smiled and nodded, then drove his unicorn horse to the crowd square in front of the main entrance under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes.
Four hundred people, who were trying hard to raise their heads and chests, were lining up to wait for the inspection of City Lord Zhang D. Following the order from Commander Tian Xiao, everyone shouted loudly:
"I'll wait to see the Lord of the City!"
Zhang Baoer had a toothache, and the voice was too irregular. He had some imperfections and obsessive-compulsive disorder and was very dissatisfied. This was not like a military parade on earth at all.
However... he did not express his thoughts. On the contrary, he showed a satisfied expression and nodded:
"Good job, comrades!"
Everyone was stunned. They didn't understand the word "comrade" very well, but they all responded quickly and responded with mixed responses of "It's not hard work."
Zhang Baoer held back again, waved his hand to silence everyone, and then began his serious speech:
"A soldier is a weapon! When used properly, you can advance or retreat. If you advance, you will be frightened and lay dead thousands of miles away. If you retreat, you will be indestructible and your will cannot be taken away! As the saying goes, 'Three armies can seize the commander, but one man cannot seize the will.'
! Today, you stand in front of me, and I want to tell you that you should have your own ambitions and know why you are fighting, because the person standing in front of me is you, not others! Since it is you, then, I will
The first military order is issued to you. That military order is: stand and think, think hard, and then think again! At dusk, at dusk, step forward and tell the secretary what your dream is, and then..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Baoer laughed and said with a smile:
"Then eat the meat of late-stage spiritual beasts and eat until you can't eat anymore before leaving!"
"Thank you, sir!"
The four hundred people responded with blazing eyes, and then watched Zhang Baoer leave.
And outside, it exploded! On the first day of joining the army, those people were able to eat the meat of late-stage spiritual beasts. This...this, this is simply a blessing from God! You know, even the leaders of many big forces are not necessarily
Have you eaten the meat of late-stage spiritual beasts?
"Oh my God... tell me quickly, tell me this is not true!"
"I also want you to tell me..."
"Hahaha...my second child is lucky!"
"Hey! Fifth Master! Go and tell your second son...pack some late-stage spirit beast meat and bring it back for everyone to try!"
"Yes, yes! Lao Wu, go quickly! Why are you still standing there?!"
"this……"
…
At the same time, the big bosses of the five major forces, all covered in cold sweat, gathered in a secret room, their eyes full of horror, and they didn't know what they were talking about.
