Chapter 33: Kidnapping is impossible without morals
"How dare you disobey the city lord's order? Do you want to be dismissed and investigated?"
The messenger became furious when he heard Wei Fan's words.
This was an extremely urgent matter. One of the captains had died, and the other captains did not dare to take over. They unanimously nominated Wei Fan.
If he fails to take Wei Fan to the City Lord's Mansion, he will be dismissed.
Many people have died in the City Lord's Mansion. If more people die, who knows if it will be the City Lord's turn. A small constable actually dared to disobey the City Lord's orders. It was simply outrageous.
Wei Fan had a blank expression on his face. "Then the city lord has to act faster. Our clerk wants me to wipe out the Black Wind Village within seven days, or I will be dismissed and investigated. The city lord and our clerk will compete to see who will dismiss me first."
"What is this Wei Qingyuan doing?"
When the herald heard this, he was stunned.
It is almost impossible to wipe out the Black Wind Village. They are about to be dismissed from their posts. Are they still afraid of your threat of dismissal?
"Captain Wei, wait a minute. Wei Qingyuan is seeking revenge for his personal grudge. I will report this to the city lord right away."
The messenger obviously knew what happened between Wei Fan and Wei Qingyuan, and left in a hurry.
"You are going to offend even the city lord!"
Luo Wen sighed. Judging from Wei Fan's attitude, even if the City Lord solved the problem of Wei Qingyuan asking them to wipe out the Black Wind Village, Wei Fan did not intend to go to the City Lord's Mansion to help.
Wei Fan nodded: "When I made contributions, he turned a blind eye and gave me five taels of silver to send me off. Now that he thinks of me when something happens, he must be dreaming.
At worst I can just take off my skin, what can he do to me?"
Wei Fan had absolutely no interest in saving the city lord's family.
After a while, the herald came back.
This time he was not the only one who came, Wei Qingyuan also showed up.
"Captain Wei, good news, good news!"
Before he even stepped into the classroom, the messenger shouted, "Oh no, it's time to call Wei Dutou.
Captain Wei Fan obeyed the order:
Captain Wei Fan has slain many demons recently and made outstanding contributions. The city lord has decided to promote Wei Fan to the position of inner city chief and he will take office immediately.
Wei Dutou, come with me and take up your post."
Luo Wen was confused and puzzled.
Wei Fan's previous refusal had obviously offended the city lord to death. Fortunately, the city lord not only did not dare to dismiss him, but also promoted him two levels from a captain of the police to the position of a captain.
He is still the best captain of the inner city, on par with Wei Qingyuan.
If it were him, he would definitely kneel down and thank the city lord immediately, but when he looked at Wei Fan, he found that Wei Fan didn't react at all.
Wei Fan said the same indifferent words: "I am busy with the attack on Black Wind Village. I will deal with other matters after I defeat Black Wind Village."
The herald's face turned ugly and he wanted to get angry.
However, when they came here, the city lord instructed them not to anger Wei Fan and to try their best to please him.
Now that an unknown demon has appeared, Wei Fan is the only hope to kill it, and he must not offend him.
Although the city lord has asked Sucheng for help, it will take more than a day or two to deliver the message.
He quickly winked at Wei Qingyuan who came with him.
"I was not thoughtful enough about the matter of Black Wind Village. Wei Dutou, please forgive me and go to the inner city to take up your post first."
Although Wei Qingyuan looked unhappy, he still forced himself to smile and stood out.
Wei Fan smiled and said, "Going to the inner city to take up a post? I mean I'm going to work for you guys, don't you think I don't know that one of the captains has died?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the messenger and Wei Qingyuan both changed color.
Because it happened in the City Lord's Mansion, not many people knew about it.
Wei Fan had always refused to go. They thought that Wei Fan didn't know what was happening in the inner city and was simply angry that the city lord didn't pay attention to him before.
The two were silent for a while, and Wei Qingyuan said, "Since you already know, you can't just stand by and watch. Aren't you upright and upright, Wei Fan, and you can't stand seeing demons harming people? At this time, you should stand up and slay the demons."
The impression Wei Fan gave to everyone was that he was upright and incorruptible and hated demons. When everyone was afraid of the Tiger Gang, he, a mere yamen runner, dared to fight against the Tiger Gang. To this day, even Wong Tai Sin was beheaded by him.
At a time like this, as long as he brings up the greater good, he doesn't believe that Wei Fan won't commit the crime.
"Kidnap me?"
Wei Fan showed a mocking expression: "I can't stand seeing demons harming people, but it depends on who they are harming.
If the demons harmed animals like beasts, I would be happy to see it.
Over the years, the people of Yuncheng have suffered countless harm from demons, but you have turned a blind eye to all this and done nothing.
Now you have only endured for a few days the fear that ordinary people in Yuncheng have endured for decades, and you can't stand it?"
Wei Qingyuan and the herald officer's faces turned pale, and Wei Fan almost said that it would be best if the city lord died.
What’s even worse is that Wei Fan implicitly called them beasts.
Wei Qingyuan was a little furious: "Wei Fan, you are so presumptuous, are you in cahoots with the demons?"
"If you want to fire me, do it quickly. If not, I'll go on patrol. Haha... To be honest, I really want to go to the inner city to see how that demon eats up all of you beasts one by one.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
You'd better go and ask the city lord if he has done too many evil things, and he doesn't eat other demons, but eats his whole family."
After Wei Fan finished speaking, he walked away, and the entire classroom fell silent.
He actually expressed gloating over what happened in the City Lord's Mansion.
What happened this time is strange. After the demon appeared in the City Lord's Mansion, it did not go anywhere else but instead ate the people in the City Lord's Mansion.
"It's what he deserves. I was wondering why they were so kind to promote Wei Fan to be the captain. It turns out there's a demon eating people in the City Lord's Mansion every day."
Luo Wen looked at the backs of Wei Qingyuan and the messenger, and felt a sense of relief in his heart.
In Yuncheng, there are many people who hope that the city lord will be eaten by monsters just like Wei Fan. However, few of them have the courage like Wei Fan to speak out their thoughts, and the city lord dare not do anything to them.
…
The day passed quickly and the city lord did not send anyone to look for Wei Fan again. After work, Wei Fan went straight home.
"Brother Wei!"
When they arrived at the door of the house, Zhang's maid and a middle-aged woman were standing there, as if they had been waiting for a long time.
Wei Fan stopped and did not approach: "Who is Xiaoya?"
The woman was wearing tight clothes and holding a long sword, and she looked like a warrior.
The other party's aura was restrained, and Wei Fan could not sense his specific cultivation level, but it should be very strong. His sword intent actually seemed to resist him from getting close to this woman.
"She is my master. Brother Wei, I am going to learn skills from her. I will repay you for your kindness to me and Grandpa when I return from my studies."
The girl from the Zhang family looked at Wei Fan with a determined expression.
Her real name was Zhang Caiwei, but because her grandfather always called her girl, everyone called her girl too.
Her face was a little sallow due to long-term malnutrition, but very delicate, otherwise that beast Yang Jun would not have wanted to do such a wrong thing.
Wei Fan smiled. He didn't expect the little girl to have such an opportunity. "Then you must learn skills from Master. I will wait for you to repay me. But if you don't have the skills, you won't be able to repay me."
He didn't say anything else because there was no change on the panel when he looked at the middle-aged woman.
This proves that this woman had no connection with demons and had not done anything bad.
Because if anyone has done bad things, the panel will remind him that he can gain power by killing them.
Of course, he had no intention of asking the little girl to repay his kindness. He said this only to encourage the little girl to learn martial arts from her master.
The little girl came just to say goodbye to Wei Fan, and after that she followed the middle-aged woman away.
The woman did not communicate with Wei Fan, and Wei Fan did not ask about her origins. As long as she was not a bad person, it was fine.
It would be hundreds of times better for the girl from the Zhang family to learn martial arts than to stay in Yuncheng.
