Chapter 97 The New General Director
“I was really helpful today.” Liang Chuanshan said gratefully.
If Song Changming didn't come today, he would probably be in trouble in this turmoil.
And if he dies, his wife, children, and children will be in danger. Every time he thinks of this, Liang Chuanshan feels scared in his heart.
"I'm afraid it will take some time for the turmoil in the city to subside. Why don't you go to my place to recuperate?" Song Changming suggested to Liang Chuanshan.
"No, I can just call Lu Gang and the others. We can get through this period together." Liang Chuanshan said.
After Song Changming heard this, he no longer forced himself. His Song residence really couldn't accommodate too many people. He just said that if there was any danger again, he could contact him at any time.
The two families are actually not too far apart, so they won't be slow to support each other.
A few more days passed like this.
During this period, after Liang Chuanshan and Lu Gang and other patrol guards gathered together to keep warm, no one dared to offend them.
As for the Third Hutong, thanks to the presence of Song Changming, after driving away several waves of blind people, the entire alley was protected, and no one was killed in this turmoil.
At the same time, news of the imperial army finally came.
It is said that the army marched in three directions and had penetrated deep into Donglai County. It passed through every county town without encountering any resistance.
Therefore, soon, the army arrived all the way to Donglai County, quelled the chaos in the city, and arrested many evildoers.
Looking at these soldiers with iron helmets and armor, no one dared to have the courage to cause trouble in the city.
After learning that the county guard had run away, the army immediately divided up its forces to explore the whereabouts. It seemed that they did not intend to let Xiao Jingchuan go just like that.
After the imperial court learned that Donglai County had been taken over by the army, it quickly sent a new county governor to take office.
The new county governor and new officials also allowed the county governor's office, which had been paralyzed for more than ten days, to start operating again.
The destroyed order in Dongnae County also began to be rebuilt and repaired.
Looking back at the past ten days or so, the people in the county were in a daze, as if they had just crawled out of hell. Now that they had finally seen the light of day again, they no longer had to worry about it every night and could not sleep peacefully.
The General Department of Public Security, where Song Changming was located, also had a new director-general airborne.
The first thing the director-general did after taking office was to take away the resume files of the original patrol officers under his command and start ordering people to investigate them carefully.
The anticipated purge of officials began.
This wave of purges is not only to wash away the remnants of the former county governor, but also to wash away those corrupt officials and some officials with unsatisfactory abilities.
These vacant positions will be replaced by new people under the new county governor.
As he expected, Song Changming survived this wave of purges without any surprises.
Regarding Xiao Shuyun's private friendship, no one even mentioned it.
In addition, his identity and background are extremely clean. He is from a local farmer and is a model of grassroots rise.
And his past achievements and strength show that he is the best among the best, and his ability is beyond doubt.
In terms of corruption and bribery, Song Changming did not have any major criminal record.
Although he is not a spotless person, he has not done anything extraordinary. Compared with other patrols, he is much more peaceful.
With no faults to be found, it was only natural that Song Changming passed the test smoothly.
Even because his past resume was so impressive, he even received the first interview from the new director-general.
Arrive at the inner courtyard of the headquarters.
This place used to be a place where Xie Shihuan often stayed. Occasionally when he was tired, he would take a nap alone in this courtyard.
Xie Shihuan loved flowers, so the entire inner courtyard was not large, but the surrounding area was filled with flowers of various colors. Even in autumn, the fragrance was still overflowing and the garden was filled with spring scenery.
This was not the first time that Song Changming came to this inner courtyard. In the past, when he occasionally reported tasks, he would come here to see Xie Shihuan.
Today, the person standing in the courtyard admiring the flowers with hands on his back is no longer the familiar figure from the past.
"My subordinate, Song Changming, has met your Excellency." After taking two steps into the courtyard, Song Changming bowed his hands and saluted.
"Well, there's no need to be polite." The new director-general turned around and said.
The new general director wears armor, a crown on his head, a long sword at his waist, half a black beard, his eyes are narrow and shining, and he looks quite capable.
"I have seen your past resume and achievements, and they are very good, especially since you are still so young and have a formidable future." Zhuang Ren said with a slight smile, his tone was quite gentle.
"Your Excellency, that's a compliment." Song Changming replied calmly.
"The report that was submitted to me said that you have reached the fifth level of body refining, and your strength is second to none among the patrol chiefs in the headquarters, is that right?" Zhuang Ren asked next.
"My subordinate does have the fifth realm of body refining, but he has never actually competed with other patrol commanders." Song Changming said rigorously.
"Come on, fight me twice." Zhuang Ren said directly.
He wanted to know the depth of Song Changming's strength, and the simplest and clearest way was to try it himself.
With that said, the new general director had already drawn the sword from his waist.
The blade of this sword is slightly thicker, not as light as an ordinary sword blade, and looks extremely tough.
When Song Changming saw this, he knew that it was impossible to evade, so he simply pulled out his dragon pattern knife.
"Good sword!" Zhuang Ren couldn't help but praise it when he saw the dragon pattern sword coming out of its sheath, and then said. "There is no need to be scrupulous about me. Use your full strength. I only have one request. I really like the flowers here. I must not break them."
"Yes." Song Changming agreed.
"Come on!" Zhuang Ren said with a faint smile. He could already feel the increasing power of the sword on Song Changming's body.
It was very strong, which satisfied him.
The next moment, Song Changming said to be careful, then he exerted force with his feet, and rushed out like an arrow from a string.
In just two steps, the distance between the two people instantly closed.
In one breath, the soul-cutting knife was unleashed, and a sinister wind wrapped around its blade. Countless ghosts seemed to emerge from behind Song Changming and on the knife, rushing towards the opponent in front of him.
For a moment, Zhuang Ren only felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, like falling into an ice cave.
Before the sword arrives, the 'power' crushes people first and disturbs their souls!
Such a wonderful, natural sword, Zhuang Ren has already judged it in his heart.
Excellent sword skills in the perfection state!
The strength of the young patrolman in front of him far exceeded his expectations!
"Good boy!" Zhuang Ren's expression lost his calmness and he suddenly held out the long sword in his hand.
The sword light is like the dawn sun, scorching and boiling!
Song Changming's sword power was natural, like a big sky net covering it.
The new director-general's sword was like the hottest beam of light from the blazing sun, directly piercing the big net he had woven.
The hundred ghosts melted, and the power of its sword soaring to the sky instantly eliminated the influence of Song Changming's sword.
The swords clashed, and a huge force surged from the sword. Zhuang Ren staggered, but did not take a step back.
"The strength is astonishing, much stronger than ordinary warriors in the fifth realm of bone forging!"
Seeing that the new commander was not suppressed by his power, Song Changming also completely let go, and his outstanding sword skills poured out.
The two sides exchanged dozens of moves in an instant.
No matter how Song Changming increased his speed and exerted force, the opponent could always match the intensity of his sword attack.
In terms of strength, he may be stronger, but he can only be regarded as slightly better.
In terms of speed, the opponent matched his offensive rhythm and was obviously more comfortable.
It can be seen that the new director-general's strength is unfathomable.
Song Changming estimated that this person was at least above the sixth level of body training, and might even have reached the seventh level!
And his sword skills are also at the pinnacle!
"So strong!" Song Changming thought to himself.
At this moment, Zhuang Ren suddenly increased his speed again, and the long sword in his hand instantly transformed into nine sword shadows, pointing towards Song Changming.
Song Changming couldn't dodge, so he subconsciously used the flying sword style, which made the sword faster and more dexterous.
"Hey!" Zhuang Ren felt the completely different power of Song Changming's sword.
The long knife cut out the air waves, making a sound like the chirping of birds or wind chimes.
The number of knife passes has also completely changed from just now.
"This is another set of sword skills! Although it is not perfect, the power of the sword is already extremely strong!"
These thoughts flashed through Zhuang Ren's mind, and all changes happened in an instant.
The swords, swords and shadows collided in the air for a short period of time, so fast that they were almost invisible to the naked eye.
Only light and shadow remain, flickering and intertwining!
In the end, Song Changming took a step back, took a few breaths, and cupped his hands and said, "My lord is superb in martial arts, and I am willing to be the inferior."
It seems that he blocked the opponent's nine swords just now, and he seems to be in a good position.
But he knew that this was the opponent's last act and did not go all out. Otherwise, there would have been at least three more sword holes in his body just now.
This military attache who parachuted from the imperial court was indeed of extraordinary strength.
There is no shame in being resigned to being the weakest.
"When I was your age, I didn't have the skills you did. I just relied on practicing martial arts for twenty more years." Zhuang Ren shook his head and put away his sword.
Today, the strength displayed by Song Changming indeed brought him a great surprise.
This is truly a capable person.
"With your bravery, why didn't the Donglai County Sheriff take you away?" Zhuang Ren asked.
If he were the county guard, he would have to subdue Song Changming before escaping.
"After so many years in Donglai County, I can't think of a reason to leave." Song Changming said bluntly.
It wasn't that Donglai County Sheriff didn't want to take him away, but that he wanted to stay and not be with them.
Zhuang Ren patted Song Changming on the shoulder, nodded and said: "It is a wise choice to stay. The Xiao family governor is finished. No matter how chaotic the court is, it is not something that a small county governor like him can contend with. "
"You will work well under me from now on. If there is a chance, I will take you to the imperial capital!"
