Chapter 16: Tiger Balm!
After seeing off Liu Fei, who looked dull with a look of "revolutionary friendship was betrayed", Wang Cheng immediately went into the martial arts hall to go to the backyard to pay homage to his master Li Tong, and informed him of the content of Liu Fei's coming to report the message.
Li Tong listened to what Wang Cheng said calmly. After pondering for a moment, he nodded slightly to him and said, "I understand this. I will visit Brother Du to help you plead with you. I think he will give me my face."
"Thank you for your kindness, the disciple will take his leave first."
Wang Cheng bowed to Li Tong with gratitude, and immediately returned to the front yard to continue practicing.
However, what Wang Cheng never expected was that Li Tong went out and met Captain Du after meeting him, but when he came back, he said something completely different to him.
"Sorry, Wang Cheng, you must go to the Lijiaping Temporary Inspection Office this time."
When Li Tong said this, Wang Cheng, who was called to the backyard by him, had his expression just like Liu Fei, who had heard that he didn't have to go to the temporary inspection station before, and was stunned.
"You don't have to be so surprised. This is not as difficult as you are worried about. On the contrary, it may be an opportunity for you."
When Li Tong said this, he looked at him with great meaning and said, "As long as you arrive at Lijiaping, you will do everything according to your teacher's instructions, and you will have nothing to do for your teacher!"
Wang Cheng's eyes moved slightly, and he finally came back to life. He blinked his eyes and looked at Li Tong.
He silently digested what Li Tong said just now, and after a while he was silent, he said: "Disciple understands, master, please rest assured. I must obey the teacher's orders and never dare to neglect any."
He actually couldn't say anything after understanding it.
But he already knew that since Li Tong changed his original plan and asked him to work at the Lijiaping Temporary Inspection Institute, he must have some plan in it, and now he just needs to comply.
Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Li Tong also showed a look of satisfaction on his face, and then waved to him and said, "Since you understand, then you can change your clothes later and go to see Brother Du. He should have another explanation to you!"
The Tiger Martial Arts Hall is very large, not only has a special dining canteen, but also a bathhouse that can accommodate dozens of people to take a bath.
Wang Cheng went to the bathhouse to fetch water to rinse the sweat off his body, put on a constable uniform, and then took his sword to the county magistrate's room to pay homage to the head of the county government.
At this time, eleven constables, including Liu Fei, were named to serve in the temporary inspection center, and were summoned to the class room to wait for Chief Du to give a lecture. Wang Cheng was the last to come.
Seeing him coming, Liu Fei's eyes suddenly looked gloating, obviously he still held grudges for his previous "betrayal" him.
However, Captain Du did not take care of Wang Cheng because of Li Tong's pleading. He just nodded to him after the salute and signaled him to sit down and listen together.
"The establishment of a temporary inspection office in Lijiaping was made by the county master after asking Lizheng, Lixu and the patriarch of the Hao clan in each township and township. It was a decision that was in line with the actual situation in Lijiaping Town at present."
"So you don't have to worry about encountering the embarrassment of resistance from the countryside official forces. As long as you can enforce the law impartially and catch thieves and dirty things, no one dares to oppose you who represent the court!"
"For this, Lord Zun of the County has specially given you eight words, that is, the big thing is reported, and the small thing is gone."
"As long as you remember these eight words and follow these eight words, there will be no problem with what you found when inspecting Lijiaping Town."
In the small class room, only Captain Du's serious voice echoed.
Wang Cheng and the twelve Qingyi constables who were determined to work in the temporary inspection station were carefully thinking about the meaning of his words, so as not to make mistakes and harm themselves.
The constable is not a soldier. Soldiers only need to hone their combat abilities and don’t have to think about any brain-like things.
But if you are a constable in the county yamen, if you only have muscles but not brains, it will not last long.
As a constable, he has to deal with people from all walks of life in the city every day. He has contacted more people and things than anyone else. If he doesn't have much attention, he may be caught and lost one day.
Wang Cheng had noticed when he entered the room. This time, except for himself and Liu Fei, the other ten constables were mostly 30-year-old men in the yamen.
These people have been constables for many years, and have experienced many things and have rich experience. They are far more suitable to work in temporary inspection centers than Wang Cheng and others who have just entered the industry for a few years.
At this time, after Detective Du and others thought for a while, they glanced at everyone and said with deep thought: "Don't think that this Constable is going to go faster by your name. Is there any opinion on you? In fact, if you can do this well, the benefits will not be less than when you worked in the city. There are nearly ten thousand villagers gathering there now!"
What is the so-called benefit? All the constables are tacitly informed.
Wang Cheng also understands.
Afterwards, Captain Du asked everyone about his opinion in a formality. After learning that everyone had no objections, he determined the matter and announced an appointment.
"The so-called snake has no head, although it is a temporary inspection center and will be removed in the future, the county master also agreed to the request of this captain and decided to temporarily set up a deputy captain to serve as the inspector, and lead you with eleven people."
"Li Yuan, you are originally from Lijiaping and from the Li clan. You will be the one who is the chief of the captain. I hope you can live up to the high expectations of the county magistrate and do this well."
After saying that, Captain Du handed a letter of appointment with the county magistrate seal in his hand to a middle-aged detective round-faced face.
Seeing this, the middle-aged detective with a round face named Li Yuan immediately took the appointment with joy and responded loudly: "Mr. Huize the love between the county and Du Toer, I will do my best to do this."
"Okay, it's all over. You can go back and prepare now. The captain will personally take you to Lijiaping to take office tomorrow morning."
Captain Du waved his hand and let everyone disperse.
After leaving the county jail office, Wang Cheng and Liu Fei walked towards the residence together, but were ridiculed by this guy many times, making him embarrassed and depressed, and finally blocked the guy's mouth with the excuse of asking Liu Fei to pay back the money and gained a sense of tranquility.
When he returned to his residence and fell silent alone, Wang Cheng quickly forgot those troubles and calmed down and practiced boxing.
In this way, it was probably in the evening, but my senior brother Li Wei brought him some things at the order of his master Li Tong.
"This is the unique secret medicine [Tiger Oil Ointment] secretly made by the master. When you practice boxing, apply it to your hands, feet, chest and back. It can not only relieve soreness, but also use the power of medicine to improve the cultivation of qi and blood. It is very precious!"
"In addition, there is a letter written by the master here. After you arrive at Lijiaping, you will hand it over to a person named Li Changxin of the Li family. He will arrange an independent yard for you to use for martial arts."
"At the same time, the master has something to tell you, saying that if Li Changxin has something to ask for help, you can try your best to help."
Li Wei handed over two things to Wang Cheng, and after relaying the words of his master Li Tong, he turned around and left without waiting for Wang Cheng to ask more questions.
Wang Cheng saw Li Wei's back as he left, and looked at a can of ointment in his hand and a letter written by his master Li Tong. A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
"Li Jiaping, Li Jia, Li Tong, Li Wei..."
He murmured to himself, as if he understood the reason for his inconsistent behavior of today's master Li Tong.
Then he put away Li Tong's handwritten letter, and sat in the yard with a can of ointment the size of a palm and started studying it.
These days when he was practicing in the martial arts hall, he also heard about the name of [Tiger Oil Ointment] from other brothers.
Just as Li Wei said, this thing is Li Tong's unique secret medicine, which is of great benefit to the practice of martial artists in Qi and Blood Realm, and is extremely precious.
Official disciples of the Tiger Martial Arts Hall can buy [Tiger Ointment] from Li Tong to assist in practicing.
And even such a can of [Tiger Oil Paste] that can only be used about ten times, the price is as high as ten silver coins, or the internal price!
After Wang Cheng used ten silver coins to comfort his colleague Zhang Huai's family, all his belongings were only four silver coins left.
Therefore, after hearing about the name of [Tiger Ointment], although he was also jealous of the effect of this thing, he did not mention to Li Tong about buying this thing.
