Chapter 34 Farewell
"That's it." The swordsman in white chuckled and tossed the hair from his forehead to the back of his head.
"You go and chase." Lu Zheng said to several of the patrolmen below him.
"yes."
In the afternoon, at the east gate of the city.
Several farmers carried hoes and pushed a wooden cart forward.
Lying on the wooden cart was an old man who seemed to have difficulty with his legs and feet, and several bags of grain.
"Stop, open the bag?" Chengwei pointed to the boardwalk.
"Okay, Master Bing, these are just crops and grains." The farmer said with a smile, and hurriedly opened all the bags, revealing the large pieces of millet inside.
"Well, what's going on with this old man?" Cheng Wei glanced at it, and then pointed at the old man lying on the wooden cart.
"My father broke his bones in a fall yesterday and brought him to the hospital for treatment today," the farmer explained.
The city guard wanted to take two steps closer, but then he smelled an unspeakable body odor. He immediately frowned and waved his hands to tell these farmers to leave quickly.
Just as several farmers heaved a sigh of relief and were about to leave the city with wooden carts, a patrolman came slowly towards them at the gate of the city, which made several people's hearts tremble again.
"Don't panic." One of the farmers whispered.
When several people lowered their heads and were about to pass by the patrolman, a hand suddenly pressed on the edge of the wooden cart.
Several farmers looked at each other, their bodies tense up without a trace, ready to explode at any time.
"Next time we meet, let's drink together."
As soon as he said this, the old man on the cart, who had closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the patrolman walking by.
Who else could it be if it wasn't Song Changming?
The old man who was injured on the cart was Liu Sang-nam in disguise, and naturally several farmers were also masked men in disguise.
It has to be said that the level of disguise of these people is indeed very high, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see through it even if they get close.
Song Changming got the clue after he spent two days alone with Liu Xiangnan and discovered that the wounds on the old man's exposed hands and feet were completely consistent with Liu Xiangnan's.
As for coming to the east of the city, it was purely his own speculation that Liu Xiangnan would leave the county from this city gate along the Luolong River.
Of course, even if his judgment was wrong, it didn't matter. He didn't go back to catch Liu Sang-nan and execute him again, he just wanted to see him again.
Seeing that Song Changming didn't stop him, several people pushing the cart didn't stop much and took Liu Xiangnan out of the city quickly.
"How's it going? Did you find it?" Liang Chuanshan couldn't help but ask when he saw Song Changming.
"I didn't find it. It seems that the chief executive didn't find the fugitive either." Song Changming shook his head.
Liang Chuanshan said helplessly: "Only at this time do I feel how big this county is."
It is not easy to search for people in the huge Dongnai County, especially as time goes by, the longer the target hides, the harder it becomes to catch them.
Song Changming didn't say anything more, but he was calculating in his heart that before the storm dissipated, he had better keep a low profile.
As for the martial arts taught to him by Liu Xiangnan, he tried his best not to practice them, so as not to be recognized by interested people and cause trouble.
Later, the fact that Liu Xiangnan was kidnapped spread quickly because there were so many witnesses at the execution ground.
People who admire Liu Xiangnan applauded him one after another.
The Director-General of Public Security is not so happy. If the higher authorities are to hold people accountable, someone has to take the blame.
As a result, the old director of the Patrol Division, who was originally scheduled to resign, was dismissed early. The new director was also directly confirmed.
In the end, Liang Chuanshan, who had made outstanding achievements in the past two years, took over and officially took charge of the Houli Street Patrol Division.
As soon as the news came out, even Liang Chuanshan himself did not expect that the surprise would come so suddenly.
The official position he had always dreamed of was finally obtained as he wished.
Now, he is considered one of the best figures in the entire Houli Street area!
Therefore, while the common people at the lower levels were still talking about Liu Xiangnan who escaped from death, the people in the middle and upper classes had already focused on Liang Chuanshan.
The businessmen, power leaders, heads of aristocratic families, etc. who had received the news in advance, all the big and small people in Houli Street came to the Liang family to pay their respects.
For a time, Liang's living room and courtyard were crowded with people every day.
In this way, three days later, Liang Chuanshan completed the handover of his position. After returning from the headquarters, he directly held a banquet and entertained all parties.
Song Changming, as Liang Chuanshan's most capable general, was naturally invited to go.
He was placed at the main table, which showed that Liang Chuanshan valued him.
"Chang Ming, if it weren't for your help over the past year, which has enabled me to achieve many achievements, this position may not be mine. I became the director, and you are still my most trusted confidant!"
At the banquet, Liang Chuanshan took the initiative to toast Song Changming and drink together, speaking sincerely.
"Brother Liang is commended," Song Changming said with a smile and a few words of humility, but he didn't feel arrogant about it.
"I'm serious, don't worry, I will never forget you one day. Just wait, Changming." Liang Chuanshan patted Song Changming's shoulder with some intention, and then went to entertain other distinguished guests.
Tonight, not only people from all walks of life in Houli Street came to the banquet, but also the directors of the Patrol Department and the Chief of Patrol from other blocks were present.
Even some figures from the general department came to give Liang Chuanshan a good reputation.
This is also such an honor that you can only get after taking the position of director.
The banquet was filled with people drinking wine, wine and bustle.
Due to his status, Song Changming was just a transparent person with no sense of presence in this banquet where big guys gathered. Very few people knew him, and no one would take the initiative to chat with him.
Song Changming didn't agree with this, and he was happy to be free and just eat and drink in the corner.
The only person accompanying him was Lu Gang, who knew each other.
Although he was the patrol chief and had a higher status than Song Changming, his qualifications as the patrol commander were equally shallow and he had not yet established enough personal connections, so he simply stayed in the corner with Song Changming.
"Changming, look at Zhao Dezhi and Qian Wen, their faces are almost turning green sitting there." Lu Gang looked at the two people not far away and laughed softly.
"I think if they weren't worried about offending Liang Tou, they would never come to the banquet even if they starve to death today."
Song Changming shook his head, drank the wine in the glass, and said with a smile: "It's not that I can't understand it. I couldn't compete this time. It will be difficult to have such an opportunity next time. If I don't do it, I will be beaten by us for the rest of my life. ”
"That's true." Lu Gang smiled, and then suddenly turned to look at Song Changming.
"This time Liangtou has become the director of the department. Chang Ming, maybe it won't be long before I change my mind about you."
"I won't mention anything that hasn't happened yet." Song Changming understood what Lu Gang meant and laughed.
"Haha, drink and drink." After hearing this, Lu Gang stopped talking and raised his glass with a smile.
During this dinner, the two of them had no extra tasks and returned home enjoying themselves.
