Chapter 9 Competing for Credit
Soon, Liang Chuanshan walked quickly with a few patrolmen and saw Song Changming and Chen Beihu's body on the ground.
Liang Chuanshan noticed Song Changming's night watchman uniform and asked with some uncertainty: "Did you kill him?"
"I've seen you, Chief Liang." Song Changming bowed his hands and explained what happened just now.
"You mean, you happened to see me arresting this prisoner, and then accidentally discovered his whereabouts, and that's why you took action?" After listening to what Song Changming said, Liang Chuanshan couldn't help but re-examine the young man in front of him.
Although Song Changming was also on duty in the Houli Street Patrol Division, Liang Chuanshan had basically no impression of Song Changming.
The low-level night watchman itself is not worth mentioning, let alone Song Changming, who has only worked in the patrol department for less than two years.
He just felt vaguely familiar. He might have caught a glimpse of Song Changming occasionally when he went in and out of the Patrol Division, that's all.
"Yes." Song Changming lowered his eyebrows and continued: "When my subordinates saw that he was injured, they wanted to capture him alive. However, the man resisted desperately, and my subordinates accidentally shot him to death. Please forgive me, Chief Guard."
"It's not your fault." Liang Chuanshan waved his hand and said. He knew the strength of the other party. He didn't even dare to think about capturing Chen Beihu alive. If he could kill Chen Beihu and bring him back with a corpse, it would be considered a credit to him. His purpose was achieved.
Liang Chuanshan waved his hand and signaled his patrolmen to go over and inspect the body. He then looked at Song Changming and asked, "Let me ask you, have you ever practiced martial arts?"
"My subordinate has practiced some sword skills." Song Changming answered truthfully.
"I know the strength of the bandit leader Chen Beihu. Even if he is seriously injured, he is not something that an ordinary person can deal with. I'm afraid your sword skills have already reached a certain level and are only slightly stronger than those of my subordinates." ”
As soon as Liang Chuanshan said this, the eyes of the several patrolmen following him also changed when they looked at Song Changming.
The guard chief said that this boy is more powerful than them?
If we were talking about ordinary night watchmen, several of them would just think that their captain was joking and making fun of them.
But in front of them, Chen Beihu's body was lying at the feet of Song Changming. With this bright record in front of them, they lost their confidence for a while and were doubtful about Song Changming's strength.
Liang Chuanshan glanced at the onlookers around him, showed a smile to Song Changming, and said: "You are young and have such skills. It is a pity to just be a night watchman. Do you want to work under me?"
"The Chief of Guards thinks highly of his subordinates, so I am willing to do so." Song Changming immediately bowed in response.
"Great." Liang Chuanshan laughed.
The reason why he was so eager to promote Song Changming as a patrolman in his department was not only to appreciate Song Changming's skills, but more importantly, to capture Chen Beihu's achievements.
Even though he had led others to injure Chen Beihu before and forced the opponent into a desperate situation, in the end, in full view of everyone, it was Chen Beihu who was killed by Song Changming.
If he did not accept Song Changming, half of the credit would be divided by Song Changming alone.
And if he accepts Song Changming, then Song Changming will be working under him. In name, Song Changming's credit is also the result of their collective efforts. They are all his own, so there is no division of credit.
Liang Chuanshan made a plan, but Song Changming didn't know it, and he didn't feel dissatisfied in his heart. It was an expected thing.
He had only dealt with Chen Beihu in front of others in order to be promoted to the position of patrolman. It didn't matter if some of the credit was divided, he should treat it as selling favors to his new boss.
"Wait a minute."
Just as the deal was being concluded, a voice came slowly.
Another group of patrolmen came over and dispersed the nearby onlookers.
"Sun Wenyan, you are a step too late. Chen Beihu has already been captured by us." Liang Chuanshan looked at the person coming and said calmly.
"If you take it, take it. I don't have any objection to Brother Song taking it. I just want to cherish his talent and specially invite Brother Song to be my deputy." Sun Wenyan had a smile on his face and walked closer. said.
"Deputy?" Liang Chuanshan's face turned ugly and he said stiffly: "Sun Wenyan, you want to poach me in front of me?!"
"Why do you have to say it so harshly? Brother Song is still wearing a night watch uniform, so how can he be in your corner?
Besides, everyone wants to go to higher places. What you gave him is just an ordinary patrol position, and I asked him to be my deputy. If little brother Song is willing to come, what's wrong? " Sun Wenyan retorted nonchalantly.
After hearing this, Liang Chuanshan snorted coldly and said with a hint of sting: "Wang Xianwen, what do you think? You have been his deputy for six years, and you are dismissed from your post so lightly. How happy is it?" The patrolman who was called had a natural look on his face. It didn't look good, but he still said: "Since I follow Sun Tou, I should obey Sun Tou's arrangements in everything, without any complaints."
Sun Wenyan smiled with satisfaction, looked at Song Changming and said, "How are you, little friend? Are you willing to work for me as an errand?"
He was quite confident that Song Changming would definitely agree.
No young person, especially a capable young person, would be willing to settle for mediocrity.
There are good ones, so naturally choose the best one.
Liang Chuanshan pursed his lips, but ultimately did not speak, waiting for Song Changming to make a decision.
Once Song Changming and Sun Wenyan leave, there is no doubt that most of the achievements will be shared.
When he thought of this, even though he was in a bad mood, compared to Sun Wenyan, he still had a certain bottom line. He couldn't bear to withdraw from his deputy who had been following him for a long time without any fault.
Song Changming, who was on the side, pretended to be hesitant and sweated a little. No matter how he chose, he must at least show that he was having trouble making a decision, so as to give the two patrol chiefs face.
In fact, he didn't expect that he would suddenly be so popular.
Undoubtedly, he still underestimated the value of the bandit leader Chen Beihu, and also underestimated the shamelessness of Sun Wenyan, the patrol commander.
There are rumors in the Patrol Division that the two patrol chiefs, Sun Wenyan and Liang Chuanshan, do not deal with each other.
Now it seems that the rumors are true.
"This kid is really lucky. Two patrol chiefs are fighting for him like this."
"What kind of luck? Think about it. In this situation, no matter which patrol commander you join, you will offend the other patrol commander at the same time. This will create a problem."
"That's right. It's not a good idea to make people annoying before you become a patrol officer."
The surrounding patrolmen were whispering to each other in low voices, looking like they were having fun.
Only Sun Wenyan's deputy looked at Song Changming silently, with some hostility.
Song Changming didn't delay too much. He had already made a choice in his mind. After making an expression, he first bowed his hand to Sun Wenyan.
"Thank you, Chief Sun, for your kindness. However, I have already promised to Chief Liang before, but I can't go back on my words and break my promise." Song Changming said clearly, not making peace with him.
As soon as these words came out, Liang Chuanshan's eyes suddenly lit up, and his face was filled with uncontrollable joy. He couldn't help but pat Song Changming's shoulder and burst into laughter.
"I just said that Song Xiaoyou is a gentleman, how can I just say it and ignore it, hahaha!"
Although Song Changming didn't know when Liang Chuanshan said this, it was always right to laugh along with him.
On the other side, Sun Wenyan's face suddenly fell. Song Changming's decision was beyond the expectations of most people present.
Instead of becoming Sun Wenyan's deputy, choose to be an ordinary patrolman here in Liang Chuanshan.
I have to say, this is simply a slap in the face.
"Hmph!" After Song Changming made his decision, Sun Wenyan didn't want to say another word to Song Changming.
Seeing the smile on his old rival's face, he turned around and left as if he had just eaten a piece of cake. There were no harsh words or sarcastic expressions.
"Don't worry, Xiao Song. From now on, no one in the patrol department will dare to bully you as long as I'm protecting you!"
Liang Chuanshan deliberately raised his voice, and what he said was for Sun Wenyan and his group to listen to, as the most direct warning.
Song Changming nodded in agreement.
