Chapter 92
Liu Qi
Hearing that the young man actually wanted to get closer to her, Tantai Wanning was slightly startled, and immediately her pretty face covered by the gauze turned crimson.
"Yeah." Tantai Wan Ning snorted slightly, her face flushed and she leaned closer to Shen Chen's back. It felt like there was a magnetism on the young man's back, making her involuntarily stick to him. Come up.
Feeling the slightly hot temperature on the boy's back due to the strong blood, Tantai Wan Ning's pretty face covered by gauze became increasingly crimson, and she lowered her head shyly, standing there like a well-behaved little girl. Say nothing.
In the front, Shen Chen didn't notice at all that the girl behind him was already shy. At this time, his gloomy eyes only saw the figure that wanted to be cut into pieces, and there was no room for anything else.
"Brother Chen Chen, is there anyone here you don't want to see?" Soon, Tantai Wan Ning also felt the strangeness on Shen Chen's face, raised her pretty face slightly, and whispered concern.
"Haha, Nizi, what you said is wrong. How can there be someone here that your brother Shen Chen doesn't want to see? On the contrary, there is an old friend there. Your brother and I have always dreamed about him. ..." Shen Chen said with an evil smile, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
However, if Wang Yue could be here, he would definitely be very familiar with Shen Chen's smile. Just a few months ago, Shen Chen also acted like this when he was forced to have no way out by Lin Hai in Black Rock Ridge. I smiled, it was a bloodthirsty smile.
"Oh..." Tantai Wanning nodded in understanding, and she was very obedient and didn't ask any more questions. She is an extremely smart girl, and she knows what kind of words will be counterproductive if she talks too much, and she also knows when What kind of posture should I stand next to this brother Shen Chen...
At this time, the law enforcement captain on the high platform seemed to have finished his training. He quickly walked to the front of the stage, changed his previous sharp expression, clasped his fists and smiled at the people around him: "I, Song Mai, am a Qing Dynasty citizen." The law enforcement captain of Yuan County strictly abides by the instructions of Lord Liu Hong, the county prime minister, and always enforces the law impartially. Today, I would like to thank you all for your honor and coming to witness the ceremony of recruiting new members of the young law enforcement team in this county. Here, Song Mai just wants to make two points. 1. All young talents in this county, regardless of gender, will have the opportunity to join our law enforcement team and benefit the country. Of course, the treatment will be preferential!"
At this point, the law enforcement captain Song Mai turned his head and glanced at Liu Yong and others, and continued loudly: "Second, the selection of law enforcement team members in this county has always been fair, just, and aboveboard. Ten years ago, Liu Qi, the eldest son of Mr. Liu Hong, Joining the law enforcement team is earned through real performance in the ring. Today, ten years later, your second young master Liu Yong wants to join the county law enforcement team. The same is true. We will never engage in malpractice for personal gain!"
As soon as Song Mai finished speaking, there were bursts of applause around the high platform as expected. Song Mai looked at this scene with a flash of pride in his eyes.
Immediately, a look of awe appeared on his face, and he looked at the VIP table on one side and said respectfully: "Everything is ready. I wonder if the Lord Commander and Commander Liu Qi have any other instructions?"
"Haha, everything should be business as usual. I have never interfered with the recruitment of law enforcement personnel. Song Mai and everyone present know this!" In the middle of the VIP table, a middle-aged man with a big waist, round waist and oily fat stood up. The trembling flesh on his face.
This man is wearing a brocade robe embroidered with wind and snow patterns, and a Hetian jade is inlaid in the high hat on his head. With this kind of attire, as long as the people in the city under the command of Beifeng Marquis know that he is a local county magistrate, it is obvious that he is a local county magistrate. , it is the "Master Liu Hong" whom Song Mai mentioned just now.
Shen Chen noticed that when Mr. Liu Hong was talking to the previous law enforcement captain Song Mai, although there was applause from all around, many people were obviously coping with the matter and showed no desire to applaud at all.
It can be seen from this that the image of Mr. Liu Hong and his group of gangsters in the hearts of the people of Qingyuan County will not be much better. In addition, the previous group of people have all kinds of sympathies with each other. , he's so flattering, it's obvious he's not a good guy.
Shen Chen could see this at a glance because he had experience in dealing with such official worms in the past few years...
"Haha, since Captain Song has kindly invited me, I, the commander, will come up and say a few words to my incompetent second brother. I am not asking him to have a long memory, but I just want to set an example for everyone present..."
While Shen Chen was thinking secretly in an inconspicuous corner under the high platform, at this time, a handsome man wearing silver light armor also walked up to the high platform unhurriedly.
The moment that man appeared, even Shen Chen's mind was slightly shaken. The silver light armor attire reminded Shen Chen of his heroic senior brother Qi Zheng.
However, the man who stepped onto the high platform was obviously not Qi Zheng. He was much older, almost 27 or 28 years old. And although this man's face was full of heroism, he obviously lacked the general temperament of senior brother Qi Zheng from the bottom of his heart. , somewhat deliberately.
From the man's attire and his words, Shen Chen could tell at a glance that this man was probably Liu Yong's white-eyed brother Liu Qi.
Naturally, Shen Chen didn't have any good impressions of the relatives of the person who must be killed, and immediately glanced at the stage coldly.
However, Shen Chen was watching with cold eyes, but on the high platform, when Liu Qi walked up, both the original two rows of law enforcement team members and the young people who were candidates all had fire in their eyes. , seemed to respect the eldest son of the county magistrate very much, and many people even greeted him without any scruples.
"Brother, you are here!"
"Commander Liu Qi is a role model for our generation. If we have any shortcomings, I hope Commander Liu Qi will not hesitate to point them out!"
"Yes, we are here just to have the opportunity to join your service!"
"It has always been my long-cherished wish to serve under Mr. Liu Qi!"
Many of these people are flatterers, but many of them are indeed full of respect in their eyes.
After arriving on the high platform, Liu Qi lived up to expectations. His words and deeds were worthy of everyone's respect for him. He put away his smile, stepped forward and patted Liu Yong's shoulder sternly, and narrowed his eyes slightly. , warned: "Second brother, your brother and I, as the commander of the law enforcement team, everyone in Qingyuan County is watching every move I make. In front of so many people, I will simply make it clear. If you are skilled today, You are not as good as a human being. It is absolutely impossible for you to join our law enforcement team. Don’t even think about it. Don’t blame me for being ruthless when the time comes!”
"Well, I will never let you down, brother. If I don't get the qualification, I won't be able to see you and my father again. I will run away as far as I can!" Liu Yong was startled at first, and then gritted his teeth and said with determination. , but the proud look that flashed in his eyes was somewhat inconsistent with the words he said.
However, it was naturally impossible for everyone to notice those details. Immediately, there was another burst of applause from all around.
Obviously, after making such an upright act, Liu Qi has become the focus of the surroundings. Even some girls and young women in the audience have eyes filled with obsession.
"Haha, Miss Wan Ning, what do you think of that guy?" Shen Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, speechless for those nymphomaniac actions, and turned his head to cast a playful look at Tantai Wan Ning behind him.
"Hmph! Brother Shen Chen, why do you need to ask more questions? Can't you see such a hypocritical person and the cunning people around him? Brother Shen Chen," Tantai Wan Ning's beautiful eyes glanced lightly, with a look in her eyes. He was full of disdain, "Why would a truly capable person need to use such scenes to establish prestige for himself? I never thought that my father only has people like Liu Hong and Liu Qi under his command!"
"Haha, you can't blame your uncle for this. He has more than thirty cities under his command, and his territory is vast, occupying almost one-fifth of Yunzhou's territory. It is inevitable that there will be some moths inside. "Yes." Shen Chen smiled noncommittally, then turned around and pulled Xiao Nizi away.
…………
Along the way, Tantai Wan Ning's brows were filled with thoughts, as if she was still worried about what happened just now.
"Brother Shen Chen, do those people have some grudges against you? How about...I reveal my identity and take them down in one fell swoop?" After thinking for a long time, the girl finally stopped and looked at Shen Chen with a hopeful expression on her face. , seems to be very eager to do something for Shen Chen.
"Boom!"
Unexpectedly, the girl's kindness was rewarded with a heartless beating from Shen Chen.
Shen Chen lightly tapped the girl's white forehead, and said angrily: "You said it easily, but the problem is, if you really do this, won't you cause trouble for your father? Nizi, what do you think? I want to see the dignified Beifeng Hou’s daughter come all the way to investigate a local county magistrate. Do you think the Qin family in Yecheng would think so?"
"Brother Shen Chen, you mean..." Tantai Wan Ning was very clever, and she immediately figured out the meaning of Shen Chen's words.
"Haha, you little girl still has some of Uncle Beifeng Hou's machinations," Shen Chen smiled faintly and said, "As you can imagine, people like Yecheng have actively invested in uncle's territory in recent years. What the forces are most afraid of and taboo about is your father breaking his original promise and secretly weakening their control over the local area. As Nizi, if you make such an outrageous move in Yecheng, the Qin family will It is very likely that you will be frightened and mistakenly think that your father is going to intervene forcefully in matters related to Yecheng. This misunderstanding can be big or small. If the worst situation occurs, it is very likely that the Qin family will turn against your father. Or secretly step up your guard against your father!"
"This..." Tantai Wanning looked shocked, but soon a sweet smile appeared on her pretty face. She looked at Shen Chen with autumn eyes and said: "Brother Shen Chen, you are so smart. Fortunately, As long as you are here, otherwise my father might scold me later!"
"Come on, you girl is extremely smart. Everyone in Beifeng City doesn't know. You can't guess what I'm talking about?" Shen Chen rolled his eyes angrily, and then sighed again and said: "Okay, I know you, girl, want to help me, but there are some things that I still want to do by myself, so you don’t need to pay attention to me, girl..."
With that said, Shen Chen waved his hand and walked towards an inn not far ahead.
At the same place, Tantai Wan Ning was a little dazed, looking at Shen Chen's leaving figure with her beautiful eyes strangely. She felt that her brother Shen Chen had been walking around the county house, and his whole person seemed to be... It has changed a lot.
