Chapter 247 Cherish the Moment
After the gold and silver were deposited in the bank, Xu Jingming relaxed: "I'm finally done with everything."
Of course, there are also the sword master's weapons, Cheng Yanran's jade pendant, etc. The thing is hidden in a residential house. Now the wind is too tight and it is not suitable to take action. The selling price now is too low.
"Go take a bath first." Xu Jingming didn't like going to those bathhouses, but would rather boil some hot water, 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 Bloody 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 envoy said that he would not care about him in the past few months, so he was naturally very relaxed.
“The employment period of this team of space citizen players I have is more than half a month, so we can’t waste it. Whether we can collect 10,000 gold depends on this half month.”
“First of all, I have to find a good hunting target.”
Xu Jingming came to the hall where the files were stored in 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.
“Cuckoo.” With a wine gourd beside him, and occasionally taking a sip, Xu Jingming patiently read each file.
From day to night, even at night, this file hall is lit with candles as thick as a child's arm, which illuminates it very brightly.
“Yeah.”
Xu Jingming read so many files and had some goals in mind.
"Looking at the imperial capital, there are many rich people. But most of them are fixed assets! Even if there is cash... they are all banknotes that require dense writing." Xu Jingming thought, those wealthy businessmen, Huge amounts of wealth are usually in the form of banknotes with written codes! The thief snatched it to no avail. If he lost the banknote, he could get it out again with his identity badge and text code.
"I need real gold and silver."
"Anyone who dares to put 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! For example, Qishalou Headquarters! But in these places, there are so many agencies and institutions that one of your own teams can't provoke them. Moreover, there is too much gold and silver, and it is conceivable that the world is targeting it.
"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 all parties.
Xu Jingming felt that he was acting on behalf of heaven when he took action!
"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 places and are preparing to have dinner.
"Brother Jing." Xu Jingming walked for a while in the small city 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 walked over happily.
"I heard that you have arrived at the Criminal Division. I have looked for you several times but have not found you." Qiu Tong said.
"I just have a casual job now. I usually don't need to click on my fingers and 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 did not 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 or 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 order." Qiu Tong said enthusiastically.
A girl walked into the elegant 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 large bowls of beef and mushroom rice, and a jar of your Qingye wine. Xiaoqin, please serve 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.
"Yeah." Xu Jingming picked up a piece of soy beef with chopsticks and took a bite. His taste buds suddenly felt as if they were exploding. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with more gravy inside. Chew clean.
For top masters such as Xu Jingming and Qiu Tong, after achieving cellular level control, the digestion ability of the stomach is also very strong. Eating twenty or thirty kilograms of meat in one meal is a trivial matter.
Of course, after a fierce battle, 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 'roasting' process?"
"Yes, the ingredients are more sophisticated, and the surface is roasted a little crispy, while ensuring the tenderness inside. ." Qiu Tong was also eating.
One item after another.
Green leaf wine is a relatively light drink.
"Sister Qiu Tong, I feel that you are living a wonderful life as a child. You know all about the many gourmet restaurants around you." Xu Jingming held the bones and meat in one hand and listened to Qiu Tong's talk about the food. He couldn't help but admire it. road.
"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. Thief, dare to go to Nanfu headquarters to rob the prison I'm a prisoner, so it's really boring every day. It's kind of fun to squeeze money out of the prisoners."
"I heard that I didn't have a few thousand taels of silver when I went to the Nanfu Headquarters Prison. Don’t expect to come out alive,” 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 if they are given to me, I don't want them. That's 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 Capital is the Imperial Capital! It gathers top food from all over the world."
Xu Jingming immediately said: "You have to tell me in detail one by one. I am very free 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 Already moved out of Fei Mansion," Xu Jingming said.
“Yeah.”
Qiu Tong nodded, "I heard that he opened a small restaurant and just took 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, and we will take care of him a little in the future. Over there."
"Yes." Xu Jingming nodded, "Pay more attention. One or two. "
"Brother Luo was the worst among the three of us. I lost my arm. Brother Jing, you are the strongest...but now you have been beaten to the end and become an ordinary Blood Rain Guard." Qiu Tong shook his head, "I have seen through it. It is really difficult to get along in the Imperial Capital."
"It's difficult." Xu Jingming nodded. He didn't cause trouble if he didn't offend Cheng Yanran.
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 I’m afraid the world won’t be able to hold on for long, so it’s natural 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.
While the two were having a good time and 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 made the whole restaurant go crazy. heard.
"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 forgive you a lot." You.”
“Five hundred taels?” the old man exclaimed.
"Brother Wang, it's them." The young 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 disgusts me to death. Why don't you give me an explanation today? Why am I, Chang Laoliu, hanging around in the imperial capital? ”
The girl waiter angrily scolded: "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 will be even more angry! "The man with a 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.
"What a coincidence!" the man said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, five hundred taels of silver. I will spare you, otherwise today... my people will smash your restaurant. Don't say it's the king. It’s no use finding anyone today!”
The girl's eyes were red with anger, but there was nothing she could do.
"My boss." The old man whispered, "Be patient, bear with me."
"These people are obviously blackmailing." The girl was extremely angry, "My father has been betrayed by them. These gangsters are seriously ill in bed, and now they come knocking Extortion. The yamen want money, the Blood Rain Guards want money, the gangs want money, and even their gangs don’t follow the rules and continue to ask for money... We don’t make enough money from our business to extort money!”
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 Blood Rain Guards!
It is an unspoken rule that all vendors in the area pay money to the Blood Rain Guards. Now that this girl said it, Xu Jingming felt that it was not very kind. But the entire Imperial Capital Blood Rain Guard was 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, so she has no right to take people directly!
She has no power, but Xu Jingming does!
Xu Jingming nodded slightly.
“Huh?”
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 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 Big prison!”
On Xu Jingming’s token, it was clearly written, “Nan Fu Ti Penalty Department, Jing Ming.”
"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 race man couldn’t believe it, “My lord, you have wronged me, right?”
"Sir, my sixth master..." someone else spoke.
"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, "Sir, spare your life, I will give you the money. I will give you all my money."
That is the prison at the Nanfu headquarters! Once you get in, you have to go through layers of blood sucking to get out. It is impossible to get out alive without a few thousand taels of silver. How could 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."
Those who join gangs also have a lot of expenses. It's pretty good to have a hundred taels of silver left in his hand.
When Xu Jingming heard this, he immediately lost interest.
"Hurry up and be escorted to Nanfu Prison." Xu Jingming ordered the two auxiliary guards, "When we sent it there, it was clearly registered. It is the case that I, Jingming, investigated!"
"Yes." Two of them The auxiliary guards responded.
"Brother Jing, don't worry. In your case, no one can take him away without you or your superior's nod." Qiu Tong smiled and showed his order, "I'm from the Prison Department. , I will take you two over.”
The two auxiliary guards stood in awe, another Blood Rain Guard from the Prison Department?
“Hurry up.”
"Let's go."
The two auxiliary guards stepped forward, and the chains wrapped 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 such short-sighted people in the future, just tell my sister." Qiu Tong said with a smile, 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 is the Bloody Rain Guard from the Criminal Division and the Criminal Prison Division.
Soon.
Two auxiliary guards escorted Chang Laoliu to Nanfu.
“You 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 the empire still has some order, and the real hell is outside, a hell where 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 is seriously ill in bed, and she has 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."< br>
"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 get out of prison alive. The Nanfu Headquarters Prison cannot be kept closed all the time. Food and drink must be provided during the detention. Without money, according to the previous rules, people would 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 is so difficult to survive."
You can see the fireworks in the distance, Some women upstairs were waving handkerchiefs to attract customers.
Beggars can be seen begging on the streets.
You can see gang members walking on the street like a pack of jackals.
You can see the 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 survive tenaciously. The resilience of life is really strong." Xu Jingming understood clearly, "Maybe, they can survive One day, it was a happy day for many of them.”
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 some weak civilizations collapsed and were engulfed by powerful civilizations. The life of the planets of those weak civilizations is also very miserable."
"There are people who work on mineral stars all year round, fighting against the wind and sand. ”
“Some are slaves and servants”
“Some are oppressed. For example, in the Blood Rain World, there are some planetary beings who live in the Blood Rain World again and again, and they may die 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 allows all people to practice the method of evolution, and all people have virtual helmets! Among the elementary civilizations in the universe, they have already 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 is a threat after the "new civilization protection period ends", he has a bright future and is the number one genius of Blue Star. He has a wife who understands him, a lovely daughter, both parents, 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.
“Very good.”
Xu Jingming practiced his marksmanship with each move, but his marksmanship had a heart-warming flavor.
At Xu Jingming's level, marksmanship can already reflect his state of mind!
His marksmanship has not become much faster or more powerful. There are no tricks that are so unpredictable. But it has a "heart-warming" charm. Seeing such shooting skills is like seeing a heart-warming life, seeing the steaming meat buns, and looking at the father holding his children...(End of Chapter)
