Chapter 69: Intimidation and Inducement
“Who has an opinion? Who dares to have an opinion?”
The new county magistrate gave them a warning right from the start. Didn't he see that the county lieutenant was lying there dead as hell? None of them dared to say that they were truly clean.
"Pah!" Shen Yu threw out a few account books casually, and his sharp eyes swept over everyone, making them all feel uneasy.
"These are the account books we got from the Fenshui Gang and the Baizhu Gang. They record in detail the tributes they sent to various places. Everyone here has received a lot of money!"
"What? Did the county magistrate do what happened last night?" At this time, everyone grasped the key point. Seven or eight gangs were destroyed overnight yesterday, and they thought that these gangs had provoked someone, but who would have thought that it was the new county magistrate who did it.
What did he want to do? Was it an impulse or did he want to scare the crap out of everyone? He started to cause trouble right away. Could he be more quiet? Didn't he know that this was a hornet's nest?
Small gangs and factions can be destroyed, but once they arouse the resentment of the big forces, the entire county government will be in turmoil.
But after a brief shock, everyone became a little uneasy again. It seemed that what they were worrying about was a little too far away, and what they should be more worried about now was themselves.
Han Mingyang, who was just named, was already lying on the ground, and his body was still warm. As for them, each of them had taken a lot of these benefits, so what would be their fate?
"I am Shen Yu, the magistrate of Sanshui County from now on. I can forgive past events, but if anyone dares to disobey the order in the future, or commit corruption and abuse of power, I will punish them severely!"
"Shen Yu? An expert in both the zither and the sword!" With his eyes slightly narrowed, County Magistrate An Jincheng quietly raised his head and glanced at Shen Yu, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes.
"What, Shen Yu? It's over! It's him!" Upon hearing this name, the rest of the people almost fell to the ground.
During this period, Shen Yu's name began to spread in the martial arts world. Sanshui County was well connected, and merchants from all over the country gathered there, as well as countless martial arts masters. Many people had talked about this matter, and they had naturally heard of it.
Everyone knows that there was a fierce county magistrate in Bai'an County. He was a ruthless man who took down the county lieutenant and the county magistrate not long after taking office. It is said that the assassins who were killed in Bai'an County dared not go there. There was a record of slaughtering hundreds of elite assassins in one day.
Such a ruthless person actually came to their Sanshui County, and he even had the leverage over them in his hand. It felt like there was no tomorrow!
"Everyone, everyone!" Looking at the people with different expressions below, Shen Yu smiled lightly. This was not enough to add fuel to the fire. How could it be just coercion and inducement?
"Now that Han Mingyang has been executed, the position of county lieutenant cannot be left vacant. From today on, Captain Lu will temporarily take over the position of county lieutenant!"
"What?" Hearing this, Lu Ze's face was filled with ecstasy. He was just a county police chief, not a police officer. No matter how nice it sounded, he was still an official. But the county lieutenant was a real official, which made him different.
"Thank you very much, sir. Thank you very much, sir. I am willing to go through fire and water for you, without hesitation!"
"Hey, Captain Lu, no, County Lieutenant Lu! I will go through fire and water for the court and the people of Sanshui County!"
"Yes, yes, it's all the same, all the same!"
"What the hell? Lu Ze is temporarily taking over as county lieutenant?" They must have heard it right. Letting Lu Ze, a bootlicker who always flatters others, be the county lieutenant, isn't that a joke?
No wonder this boy was so attentive. When the new county magistrate told him to take action against Han Mingyang, he did it without saying a word, completely disregarding whether he would be retaliated .
This county magistrate is also very courageous, and he really gives the real thing. Flattering to this extent can be considered a success. That's the county lieutenant, they also want it, and they are willing to work hard for it.
For a moment, everyone felt sour in their hearts, and someone couldn't help but say, "Mr. County Magistrate, this is a bit inappropriate!"
"What's wrong with that? Captain Lu is loyal to the court and works diligently for Sanshui County. I am very satisfied with him. This matter is settled!"
"He is still diligent, you must be blind!" Everyone was complaining in their hearts. Everyone knew that Captain Lu would hide when something happened, but he would take bribes and ask for money without hesitation. He was a model of shamelessness.
Such a flatterer can be appointed as the county lieutenant. How embarrassing it is for those who work diligently on weekdays!
"Mr. County Magistrate!" At this time, An Jincheng, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke up, "Captain Lu is only a constable after all. It's probably against the rules to suddenly promote him to a county lieutenant!"
"Rules? What I say now is the rule. Besides, Captain Lu is only temporarily serving as the county lieutenant. I will recommend him to the higher-ups later. I believe I still have some face!"
Shen Yu was somewhat confident in this regard. Mr. Chen had said before that he would support him, so the position of a county lieutenant should not be a problem. I can't just charge in here and you just watch from behind.
"My Lord, I'm afraid this appointment will not convince the public..."
"I am not discussing this with you, I am just informing you!"
Shen Yu interrupted An Jincheng's words without any hesitation, and then looked at everyone with a smile on his face, "As long as you work diligently for me, I will naturally remember it in my heart!"
"By the way, this is Captain Zhou Yuan, whom I brought with me from Bai'an County. From now on, he will be the captain of Sanshui County. Do you have any objections?"
Opinions? Since you said so, who else can have opinions? The head of the police is the head of the police, after all, they are the confidants brought from their original place, what can they say?
"Lu Ze, Zhou Yuan!"
"grown ups!"
"You two should take your men to patrol the streets immediately. If there are people who oppress the people, I will arrest them no matter who they are or where they come from. From today on, I don't want to see anyone oppressing the people anymore!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Well, go ahead!" After watching the two people leave in a hurry, Shen Yu finally put his mind on the system. "System, sign in!"
From destroying so many gangs last night to now dealing with the county lieutenant Han Mingyang, Shen Yuli has never chosen to sign in on time.
After getting the system for so long, he has also summed up a rule. The longer you save, the better the things you get when you sign in. I don't know what I can get this time after saving for so long.
"Sign in successfully, obtain the Pure Yang Body!"
"What?" A ray of light poured into his body in the mist, and Shen Yu felt a strange breath appearing in his body. A hot feeling rose from his whole body, and in an instant his whole body felt warm.
This feeling is like soaking in a hot spring, with streams of heat flowing through the body, nourishing every part of the body. Every inch of muscle, every bone, and even every cell seems to be cheering and transforming.
At this moment, Shen Yu felt as if he had merged with the world. Invisibly, the speed of the Qi in his body was getting faster and faster, his meridians were expanding, his Dantian was surging, and his whole person was undergoing earth-shaking changes.
After a while, the transformation was completed, and Shen Yu felt indescribably refreshed all over his body. He could clearly feel the huge difference. With the circulation of true qi, the speed was more than ten times faster.
In the past, I worked hard for ten days, but I am afraid that it is not as good as one day now. This is not a bicycle turning into a motorcycle, this is clearly a bicycle turning into a sports car, making a fortune.
You have to know that the internal force you get before the system is based on your own cultivation speed. Ten years of internal force is equivalent to ten years of cultivation in your current state. If you get the Pure Yang Body earlier, wouldn't the speed be ten times faster?
Inside and out, it felt like my underwear was showing. I don’t know why, but I suddenly felt some pain in my flesh!
