Chapter 98: Centennial Mountain Ginseng
Coming out of the courtyard, Song Changming knew that he had won the initial trust of his new boss.
That's enough.
After that, Song Changming returned to his own job, and the first task he took on was to escort those who seriously disrupted order to the execution ground and behead them on the street, in order to shock the people.
There are quite a few people in this group. There are hundreds of people with serious crimes, and there are even thousands of people who are guilty of crimes that may not lead to death and fish in troubled waters.
And these are only caught by the government and the army, there are still many fish that slipped through the net and have not yet been caught.
In the past period of time, there has been such turmoil in the city, and this group of people has played a big role in fueling the situation.
They are either ruffians or gangsters who are only interested in profit and do all kinds of evil. The crimes they have committed are enough to decapitate each of them seven or eight times.
Therefore, there is no need for any trial at all, just pull them in and chop them off together.
"Kill! Kill well!"
"These beasts have harmed so many families!"
"A bunch of heartless things! They should be cut into pieces long ago!"
"God opens your eyes!"
"."
At Caishikou, countless people gathered around to watch this scene, and the abuse could not stop at all.
Some victims even wanted to go to the execution site in person.
"The time has come, the execution will be carried out immediately!"
The executioner gave the order, and countless people on the high platform were so frightened that their pants were wet. However, the executioner did not waste a moment, and under his command, the head fell to the ground neatly.
As batches of criminals were beheaded one after another, the prestige of the county governor's mansion, which had plummeted, once again established a ruling image in the hearts of the people, making people awe-inspiring.
The arrival of the new county governor quickly earned him the title of "Iron Fist".
In fact, the new county governor is indeed decisive and resolute, and does not delay important matters at all.
It didn't take long for all the important tasks of the Sheriff's Mansion to be sorted out in order.
I can only say that he is worthy of being an official from the imperial capital, and his abilities are quite reliable.
As for the General Department of Public Security, Song Changming was entrusted with the important task by his new boss to help reorganize the General Department and the patrol departments in each city.
In the past, Xie Shihuan took away too many patrols and patrol chiefs at once, and even several division chiefs ran away. The strength of the Patrol Division and the General Department of Public Security shrank seriously.
If you want to restore your past strength, you still need time to recuperate and slowly accumulate.
But no matter what, the security situation in the city has stabilized.
Then, as winter sets in, the climate begins to gradually turn colder.
Houli Street, Chunfeng Garden.
Song Changming met with his old acquaintances Liang Chuanshan, Lu Gang, and Zhou Sixin, who was still in the headquarters, over a cup of wine.
Today, Liang Chuanshan is still in charge of the Patrol Department in Houli Street, and Lu Gang, on the recommendation of Song Changming, went to Changting Street to be the director of the Patrol Department, which can be regarded as seizing the opportunity of the lack of manpower in the Patrol Department in the city. , soared.
"For the common people, this winter may be a bit difficult." Song Changming looked at the frost-covered brick walls outside the window and shook his head.
"Indeed." Liang Chuanshan sighed and nodded.
The most incredible thing Xiao Jingchuan did was to take away all the accumulated grain in the county granary.
Coupled with the previous turmoil, it is feared that many people who cannot eat food will starve to death this winter.
By then, the county governor's office would not even be able to open a warehouse to provide food supplies.
"I heard that the county governor has reported to the court to get some grain shipped, but there has been no news so far. I think it's hanging." Zhou Sixin shook his head.
"Although the old emperor can still be a director, the situation in the court is still very complicated, and I am afraid that we, Donglai County, will not be able to be taken care of."
The three of them were silent for a while.
They were also not optimistic that the new county governor would be able to get food.
"I also heard that the imperial army ran into Governor Xiao's army outside the county! They even fought a tough battle!" Liang Chuanshan said suddenly.
"Brother Liang, where did you hear the news? You already know this." Zhou Sixin said in surprise.
"I have my own way." Liang Chuanshan said proudly.
Song Changming on the side knew better. Liang Chuanshan's information channels mainly relied on dealing with caravans and merchants who traveled around the world all year round.
Liang Chuanshan can get rumors about some world affairs, but the reliability of the news is not 100% accurate.
But this is still pretty good, after all, none of them are as well-informed as Liang Chuanshan.
"Brother Liang, what happened?" Lu Gang couldn't help but ask.
"Of course the imperial court won. Don't look at how fierce the 50,000 border guards are. The soldiers from the other six counties are just beating the drum. This border guard alone is enough to defeat the Xiao family's army." Liang Chuanshan He clicked his tongue.
When the border guards entered the city before, he had witnessed the style of this powerful army with his own eyes, and it is still unforgettable.
"But I heard that although a lot of people on Sheriff Xiao's side died, they were not completely wiped out and were let go." Liang Chuanshan took a sip of hot wine and added.
"I used to think that the Xiao family might still be able to rise, but now I feel that it will be destroyed sooner or later."
Song Changming said nothing about this. This lesson only taught him not to get involved in party disputes easily.
The most dangerous thing in the world is this.
"By the way, Changming, you asked me to pay attention to the high-year wild ginseng before. I recently heard about the whereabouts of a century-old wild ginseng. It is in the hands of a caravan in Lianhua County. Do you want it?"
After drinking for three rounds, Liang Chuanshan looked at Song Changming and asked.
"If the price is right, I'll take it." Song Changming nodded.
The old and high-quality wild ginseng is of great use in his physical training.
It's just that this kind of wild ginseng is rare, so he can harvest it now.
Speaking of which, even though he has been practicing the Strong Bull Demon Kung Fu for so many years, he has never taken century-old wild ginseng to assist his practice.
There was a record on that piece of parchment that said taking mountain ginseng that was over a hundred years old and then practicing this technique would have miraculous effects.
He had been curious about what kind of miraculous effects it could have, but the appearance of century-old wild ginseng was hard to come by, and it was too expensive. He didn't have the financial resources to buy it in the past.
It was only now that he had a small fortune, so he had the idea of purchasing it.
"That's it, I'll have someone collect it for you when the time comes." Liang Chuanshan nodded.
Three days later, Song Changming got this century-old wild ginseng worth nine hundred silver.
Although the price made him feel a little sad, the effects of this century-old wild ginseng were indeed quite gratifying.
After taking it, he could clearly feel the powerful power of the medicine, which continuously stimulated every part of his body.
On the day he practiced the Bull Demon Kung Fu, his experience points increased by more than ten points.
You must know that in the past, physical training might not improve a little in two or three days.
In addition to this, a small amount of experience points were also increased in the other three body-training skills he practiced concurrently.
After that, the medicinal power of this century-old wild ginseng lasted for a month.
During this month, as long as Song Changming is in the cultivation bonus state of 'Heaven rewards those who work hard', the experience value of Niu Demon Kung will increase every day.
It is no exaggeration to say that this practice efficiency has almost doubled compared to before!
This is how a century-old mountain ginseng helped him refine his body.
I have to say, it does have miraculous effects.
He couldn't help but wonder, if he could use these hundred-year-old mountain ginseng to last every month, maybe the Niu Mo Kung, which originally took several years of hard training to make progress, would be able to break through to the sixth level of bone forging in a year!
Unfortunately, this thing is a good thing, but it is too expensive.
If he wanted to use these century-old ginseng to practice all year round, he really couldn't do it.
One is that there is not so much money, and the other is that there is no stable purchase channel.
If the Xiao family were still there, he would have the opportunity to buy more century-old wild ginseng through Xiao Shuyun's method.
But now that the Xiao family has fallen, just for Liang Chuanshan, it's a bit of a hit-and-miss affair. It's not every month that you see century-old wild ginseng appearing in Donglai County.
"With the savings I have now, I can buy at most three more century-old wild ginsengs."
Song Changming calculated the wealth he had managed over the years and came up with a rough estimate.
Among them, the monthly salary for the position of Inspector General of the General Department only accounts for a small part of his total monetary income.
Most of the money came from the headquarter's wanted bounty money, which accounted for the bulk of his savings.
In addition, Song's father's sericulture business finally turned a profit this year, and is gradually able to sell at a higher price and obtain profitable income.
It's just that it's just started now, and the profit is not much. On average, it can only earn one or twenty copper coins per month.
It will take more time to verify how strong this industry's ability to make money will be in the future.
The New Year is approaching, and the cold wind is howling outside the city, mixed with little fluffy snow.
On the official road, the ground trembled, and a group of horses galloped past, with one person sitting on each horse.
Wearing dark green armor, a helmet on his head, a sword on his waist, and a crossbow on his back.
Anyone who sees this outfit will not feel unfamiliar. It is the patrol team in charge of public security in each city.
The eye-catching gold-edged stripes on the collar and sleeves indicate that this is the patrol of the county and city headquarters.
The man at the head of the team, riding a black horse, is none other than the newly appointed director-general Zhuang Ren.
Following closely behind were Song Changming and two other chief patrol officers.
Then came the general director's personal bodyguards, a total of sixteen horses.
These sixteen people are all extremely powerful. They were all brought by the Chief Director from the Imperial Capital. All of them have the strength to refine themselves at the fourth realm or above!
Even letting them serve as patrol commanders is more than enough.
After that, nearly a hundred general-director patrols were brought.
The entire team galloped towards Luolong River, a large port near the sea.
There is only one thing to do.
Destroy the bandits!
