After the gold and silver were deposited in the bank, Xu Jingming relaxed and said, "I'm finally done with everything."
Of course, there are also the sword master's weapons, Cheng Yanran's jade pendant and other items, which are hidden in a residential house. Now the wind is too tight and it is not suitable to sell them. The price is too low now.
"Go take a bath first." Xu Jingming didn't like going to those bathhouses, but would rather boil some hot water by himself, take a nice bath, and put on new clothes.
Wearing an official uniform inside and a green robe outside, hanging a wine gourd around his waist, and carrying a gun pouch, Xu Jingming walked leisurely towards the Nanfu headquarters.
"I, the Blood Rain Guard of the Punishment Division, only went once on the day of the report. I haven't been there recently. I am so incompetent." Xu Jingming secretly laughed at himself, because he was under the direct management of Niu Tixingshi, the chief officer of the Punishment Division.
The punishment envoys had already said that they would not care about him in the past few months, so they were naturally very relaxed.
"The team of space citizen players I have is still employed for more than half a month, so we can't waste it. Whether we can raise 10,000 gold depends on this half month."
"First I have to find a good hunting target."
Xu Jingming came to the hall where the files were stored by the Criminal Division and began to read each file carefully.
The last time was to deal with Cheng Yanran and read the dossier in a targeted manner.
this time……
To determine the hunting target, the reading range is wide.
"Gu Gu Gu." With a wine gourd beside him, and occasionally taking a sip, Xu Jingming patiently read each file.
From day to night, even at night, the archives hall was lit with candles as thick as a child's arm, which illuminated it very brightly.
"Um."
Xu Jingming read so many files and had some goals in mind.
"Looking at the imperial capital, there are a lot of rich people. But most of them are fixed assets! Even if there is cash... they are all banknotes that need to be encrypted." Xu Jingming thought, those wealthy businessmen and wealthy families generally have huge wealth.
A banknote with a secret code! It’s useless even if a thief snatches it. If you lose the banknote, you can get it out again by relying on your identity badge and the code.
"I need real gold and silver."
"Anyone who dares to release so much gold and silver is not easy to mess with." Xu Jingming put together the files.
Those that store the most gold and silver, such as large banks! Such as the headquarters of Qishalou! But these places are full of institutions, and no one can provoke them. And if there is too much gold and silver, you can imagine how the world will target them.
"Now there are twenty or thirty alternatives." Xu Jingming roughly delineated the scope first, "There is no rush, there is still plenty of time."
These alternatives are all unkind and harmful to everyone.
When Xu Jingming took action, he felt that he was acting on behalf of heaven!
"Woo."
Xu Jingming stood up, stretched out, hung the wine gourd on his waist, and walked out with the gun pouch on his back.
It is now dark outside, and many Blood Rain guards have left their work areas and are preparing to have dinner.
"Brother Jing." Xu Jingming walked for a while in the small town of Nanfu when he suddenly heard a pleasant voice.
Xu Jingming turned around and saw that it was the one-armed female swordsman ‘Qiu Tong’. Qiu Tong looked very happy.
"Sister Qiu Tong." Xu Jingming also happily walked over.
"I heard that you went to the Criminal Division, but I couldn't find you despite looking for you several times," Qiu Tong said.
"I just have a casual job now. I usually don't need to do anything, just wander around." Xu Jingming said.
Qiu Tong immediately said: "Let's go, it's rare for us to meet each other. I'm treating you today."
"Okay." Xu Jingming didn't refuse.
After leaving Nanfu, the two found a secluded small restaurant.
There are only two private rooms on the second floor of the small restaurant, and Xu Jingming and his wife entered one of them.
"Although this place looks ordinary, the craftsmanship is really extraordinary. I come here every three to five, which means it is a little far away from Nanfu. Otherwise, I would come more often." Qiu Tong said with a smile.
Xu Jingming could see that Qiu Tong was living a very comfortable life.
"I'll take the order." Qiu Tong said enthusiastically.
A young girl walked into the private room and said familiarly: "Sister Qiu, you are here."
"First come five kilograms of soy sauce beef. Their soy sauce beef is completely different from other places." Qiu Tong explained, and then ordered several big dishes in succession, "Finally, two big bowls of beef and mushroom rice, and your greens."
Let’s bring a jar of leaf wine too. Xiaoqin, please serve the food quickly.”
"Don't worry." The girl immediately slipped out to make arrangements.
Soon, a jar of green leaf wine and a large portion of soy sauce beef were served first.
"Uh-huh." Xu Jingming picked up a piece of soy sauce beef with chopsticks and took a bite. His taste buds suddenly felt like they were exploding. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with more gravy inside. Xu Jingming's teeth were sharp and he chewed it clean in two bites.
For masters such as Xu Jingming and Qiu Tong, after achieving cellular level control, the digestion ability of the stomach is also very strong, and eating twenty or thirty kilograms of meat in one meal is a trivial matter.
Of course, if they fight fiercely, they may lose more than ten or twenty pounds in weight. Under their control, the loss is almost all fat.
"Not bad, not bad." Xu Jingming said, "This soy sauce beef has an extra step of 'roasting'?"
"Yes, the ingredients are more sophisticated, and the surface is slightly crispy while ensuring the tenderness inside." Qiu Tong also ate.
One item after another.
Aoba wine is a relatively light drink.
"Sister Qiu Tong, I feel like you are living a wonderful life as a child. You know all about the many gourmet restaurants around you." Xu Jingming held the bone meat in one hand and couldn't help but admired when Qiu Tong talked about the food.
"Actually, I was quite depressed when I first arrived at the Prison Department." Qiu Tong said while drinking. "The Prison Department is too boring. I am responsible for guarding the prisoners every day, guarding the prisoners like an idiot. I am not daring.
Thieves dare to go to the prison of Nanfu headquarters to rob prisoners, so every day is really boring. In other words, squeezing money and water from the prisoners is a bit interesting. "
"I heard that if you go to Nanfu Headquarters Prison, you won't be able to escape alive without a few thousand taels of silver," Xu Jingming said.
"I can't help it." Qiu Tong shook his head, "This world is very chaotic! They ask for benefits at every level, and I don't want the ones that are given to me. That would be unsociable! I will be ostracized."
Xu Jingming understands this.
"Fortunately, I am a vice-captain and can still be lazy." Qiu Tong said, "What I usually like to study most is food. The Imperial City is the Imperial City! It gathers top food from all over the world."
Xu Jingming immediately said: "You have to tell me in detail one by one. I have a lot of free time now, so I can go and taste it slowly."
At least Xu Jingming was very satisfied with the food in this secluded restaurant.
"Okay, no problem." Qiu Tong nodded and suddenly said, "By the way, have you visited Brother Luo recently?"
"Last time I went to Fei Mansion, I heard that he had moved out of Fei Mansion." Xu Jingming said.
"Um."
Qiu Tong nodded, "I found out that he opened a small restaurant and just took in two concubines. He probably wants to continue the family line and live a happy life."
"Concubine?" Xu Jingming was surprised.
"He didn't tell me either. I found out by chance when I was chatting with other Blood Rain Guards." Qiu Tong said, "After all, the three of us came from Lanyue City together. Let's take care of him a little in the future."
"Yeah." Xu Jingming nodded, "Be more careful."
"Back then, among the three of us, Brother Luo was the worst off. I had my arm broken. Brother Jing, you were the strongest...but now you have been beaten down and become an ordinary Blood Rain Guard." Qiu Tong shook his head, "I have seen through it.
It’s really hard to get along in the imperial capital.”
"It's difficult." Xu Jingming nodded. He didn't provoke Cheng Yanran and cause trouble.
Zhang Ke's brothers under his command were also innocently affected.
"I have been at the Nanfu headquarters for a long time, and I can feel that... the world is really chaotic now. Even the Blood Rain Guards in the Imperial Capital are looking for a way out," Qiu Tong said.
"Looking for a way out?" Xu Jingming was startled.
"Now the northwest is completely corrupted, and the southern region is not much better. Only the eastern region can maintain the most basic order." Qiu Tong whispered, "The Blood Rain Guards in the Imperial Capital secretly believe that this world may not be able to survive for too long.
Over time, you will naturally be able to make a fortune."
"Forty thousand Blood Rain Guards and two hundred thousand auxiliary guards are enough to guard the imperial capital, but if you want to bring peace to the world... it's far from enough." Xu Jingming also nodded.
The two of them had had enough wine and food, and while they were chatting, suddenly there was a quarrel downstairs.
"Such a big dead rat appears in this soup. It makes me sick to my stomach. If you don't give me an explanation, I will smash your restaurant!" The loud voice downstairs was heard by the whole restaurant.
"Go down and take a look." Qiu Tong said.
"Let's go." Xu Jingming stood up.
The two came to the first floor and saw a group of people sitting carelessly at two tables. One of the leaders was pointing at the soup: "Look, look, such a big dead rat, isn't it disgusting? You still run a restaurant?"
?Let’s close it as soon as possible.”
"Sixth Master, Sixth Master." An old man came forward and said, "We are willing to apologize. You can tell us how much we want."
The leading man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks stretched out a big slap: "Five hundred taels of silver, Mr. Liu, I will be very generous and spare you."
"Five hundred taels?" the old man exclaimed.
"Brother Wang, that's them." The female waiter brought in two patrolling auxiliary guards from outside. When the two auxiliary guards saw the dozen or so people making trouble, they couldn't help but frown.
"Wang Cheng, you're here at a good time." The man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks sneered and pointed at the soup, "Look at the dead rats in this soup. It's really disgusting to me. If you don't give me an explanation today, how can I, Chang Laoliu, hang out in the imperial capital?"
The girl waiter angrily said: "Such a big bowl of broth, if there is a dead mouse, you still drank most of the soup! Did you remove all the meat?"
"Don't say it, I'll be even more angry if you say it!" the man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks said angrily.
"All the meat in the soup was fished out and eaten, but you didn't find a dead mouse that big?" the girl angrily scolded.
"It's such a coincidence!" the man said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, five hundred taels of silver. I will spare you, otherwise today... my people will destroy your restaurant. Don't mention Wang Cheng, who are you looking for today?
It’s no use!”
The girl's eyes were red with anger, but there was nothing she could do.
"My boss," the old man said in a low voice, "Be patient, be patient."
"These people are obviously blackmailing." The girl was extremely angry. "My father was forced to be seriously ill in bed by these gangs, and they are still here to extort money. The Yamen wants money, the Blood Rain Guards wants money, the gangs want money, and even
These gangsters don’t follow the rules and continue to demand money... We don’t even make enough money from our business to extort money from them!”
The man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks scratched his ears and sneered.
Xu Jingming and Qiu Tong looked at each other as they walked down the stairs.
They are both Blood Rain Guards!
It is an unspoken rule that all vendors in the area pay money to the Blood Rain Guards. Now that the girl said it, Xu Jingming felt that it was not very kind. But the entire Imperial Capital Blood Rain Guards were like this, and he had no ability to change it.
"Help." Qiu Tong gave Xu Jingming a look.
She has been eating here for a long time, and she has a good impression of the girl who manages the business, and wants to help. But she is the Blood Rain Guard of the Prison Department, and she has no right to take people directly!
She has no power, but Xu Jingming does!
Xu Jingming nodded slightly.
"Um?"
Xu Jingming stepped forward with cold eyes, making the people around him slightly stunned.
Xu Jingming stared at the man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, watching carefully.
"Who are you?" The man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks vaguely felt that the eyes of the person in front of him were too oppressive and he did not dare to be too presumptuous.
"The Criminal Division is investigating the case. This person is involved in an important case." Xu Jingming showed his token to the two auxiliary guards on the side, and pointed at the man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, "You two auxiliary guards, escort this person to Nanfu.
Hell!"
Xu Jingming's token is clearly written as "Jingming, the Criminal Division of Nanfu".
"Yes." The two auxiliary guards immediately responded.
The Criminal Division investigates all serious cases! The auxiliary guards need to cooperate.
"Am I involved in an important case?" the sharp-mouthed monkey racer said in disbelief, "My lord, have you wronged me?"
"Sir, my sixth master..." someone else said.
"Oh? Are there any accomplices?" Xu Jingming glanced at him.
This group of people trembled with fright, their faces turned pale, and no one dared to speak.
"Spare your life, spare your life."
Chang Laoliu was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Sir, please spare your life. I will give you some money. All my money will be given to you."
That's the big prison at the Nanfu headquarters! Once you get in, you have to go through layers of blood sucking to get out. It's impossible to get out alive without a few thousand taels of silver. How can a small gang leader like him have so much money?
"Oh?" Xu Jingming looked at him.
"I have one hundred taels of silver." Chang Lao Liulian said, "I will treat you as a filial piety."
Being a member of a gang also costs a lot of money. It's pretty good for him to have a hundred taels of silver left.
When Xu Jingming heard this, he immediately lost interest.
"Hurry up and escort him to the Nanfu Prison." Xu Jingming ordered the two auxiliary guards, "When I sent you there, the registration was clear. It is the case that I, Jingming, investigated!"
"Yes." The two auxiliary guards responded.
"Brother Jing, don't worry. No one can take away your case without you or your superior's nod." Qiu Tong smiled and showed his order, "I'm from the Prison Department, I'll take you two there."
.”
The two auxiliary guards stood in awe, another Blood Rain Guard from the Prison Department?
"hurry up."
"Walk."
The two auxiliary guards stepped forward, and the chains wrapped around the hands of the man with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and escorted him away from the restaurant.
"Thank you Sister Qiu, thank you Master Jing!" The girl was extremely excited. Her family really couldn't afford five hundred taels of silver now.
"If there are any of these short-sighted people in the future, just tell my sister." Qiu Tong smiled and said, it was no problem to protect a small restaurant with her identity.
"Thank you, Sister Qiu." The girl's eyes were wet. With these words, their restaurant has hope!
The surrounding gang members looked at each other and silently took notes. Behind this restaurant was the Criminal Division, and the Bloody Rain Guards from the Criminal Division were the backers.
soon.
Two auxiliary guards escorted Chang Laoliu to Nanfu.
"You obviously have good skills, but it's so difficult to run a restaurant." Xu Jingming stood on the street, looking at the dimly lit restaurant, shaking his head slightly.
"But they still want to take root in the imperial capital, because there is still some order in the empire, and the real hell is outside, where the people have no life." Qiu Tong shook his head.
Xu Jingming nodded.
The girl was obviously the owner, and she was also receiving distinguished guests on the second floor of the restaurant.
Her father was seriously ill and she had to run the business.
"It's also to make a living." Qiu Tong said, "I'm going to Nanfu first. Do you want to interrogate this prisoner? If not, I will give him some benefits of a big prison."
"I have been very busy recently. If he is still alive in a month, I will go and interrogate him." Xu Jingming said.
"I understand." Qiu Tong also understood.
This kind of gang leader cannot escape from prison alive. The prison at the Nanfu headquarters cannot be kept closed forever. Food and drink must be provided during the detention. Without money, according to the previous rules, everyone will be gone within a month.
Qiu Tong returned to Nanfu headquarters, while Xu Jingming returned to his residence carrying a gun bag.
"The imperial capital looks quite prosperous." Xu Jingming walked on the road, "But it's so difficult to survive."
You can see the fireworks in the distance, and some women upstairs are waving handkerchiefs to attract customers.
You can see beggars begging on the streets.
Gang members can be seen walking on the street like a pack of jackals.
You can see big shots riding in carriages, surrounded by a group of guards.
"Different people have different ways of living, but as long as they can survive, they can live tenaciously. The resilience of life is really strong." Xu Jingming understood clearly, "Perhaps, being able to survive for one day is a big deal for many of them. It’s just happiness.”
Xu Jingming walked back to his residence, which was also the place he rented when he first came to the imperial capital.
"Even in reality, I heard that after some weak civilizations collapsed and were swallowed up by powerful civilizations, life on the planets of those weak civilizations would also be miserable."
"There are people who work on the mineral star all year round and live with the wind and sand."
"There are slaves and servants."
"There are those who are squeezed to do various jobs. For example, in the Blood Rain World, there are some planetary beings who have blinded their memories and lived in the 'Blood Rain World' again and again. Maybe after a few lives in the Blood Rain World, they died of old age in reality. "
Xu Jingming has never experienced it himself, but there are many similar news that can be found on the Virtual World Network.
Blue Star Civilization can allow all people to practice the method of evolution, and all people have virtual helmets! Among the primary civilizations in the universe, it has done very well.
"You have to cherish the present moment. Being able to live happily every day is already a very happy thing." Xu Jingming was on the martial arts training ground where he lived, holding a long gun and practicing his marksmanship naturally.
Happiness comes from comparison.
The more he sees, the more Xu Jingming feels that he is really happy every day! Although there are threats after the "new civilization protection period ends", he has a bright future and is the number one genius of Blue Star. If you understand him His wife has a lovely daughter, both parents are alive, and his grandfather is still alive...
Now he can still practice in various virtual worlds. Although looking at the entire universe, he is still just an inconspicuous person.
But this kind of life has surpassed 99% of people, and it is really happy.
"fine."
Xu Jingming practiced his marksmanship with each move, but his marksmanship had a heart-warming flavor.
When we reach Xu Jingming's level, his marksmanship can already reflect his state of mind!
His marksmanship has not become faster or more powerful, nor has his moves become so unpredictable. But it has a "heart-warming" charm. Seeing such marksmanship is like seeing a heart-warming life.
Seeing the steaming meat buns, looking at the father holding his children...
