Chapter 9 Tiger Monster Attacks
Yuncheng is just a small city in the entire Great Chu State. However, even though it is a small city, Yuncheng has a permanent population of more than 100,000. Therefore, in order to facilitate management, Yuncheng is divided into four districts in addition to the inner city, east, west, south and north. Each district has a clerk to help the city lord manage it.
Under the Dianli, there were also Dutou, Chief Constable, Bantou and Constable to assist the Dianli in management.
The area where Wei Fan works is the East District.
Early in the morning, Yuncheng East District Government Office.
At this moment, except for the officers on night duty, all the officers in the East District are here, and no one is out on patrol.
All the officers stood in the courtyard in front of the classroom, each with an uglier look on their face, some even terrified.
Because just now the Tiger Gang sent someone to deliver a letter, asking them to hand over Wei Fan, the murderer of the Tiger King's young son, before lunch today. If they don't, the tiger demon will rush into the East District after lunch.
Not to mention how many people will die if the tiger demon attacks the East District, Wei Fan’s colleagues will definitely be given special attention by the tiger demon.
"I suggest that Wei Fan be handed over. We can't let the entire city be harmed because of him."
Wang Meng, one of the chief constables, spoke up.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately gained the support of many people.
The tiger demon only wants Wei Fan. If Wei Fan is handed over, all troubles will be eliminated.
They had no friendship with Wei Fan, so there was no need for them to live and die with him. Besides, they did not want to go to war with the demons, so handing over Wei Fan was the best solution.
They have a firm basis for doing so in terms of justice. It is not that they are afraid of death, but that they do not want innocent people to be harmed.
Luo Wen glanced at Wang Meng and didn't seem surprised that Wang Meng said this.
Hu Qing couldn't help but say, "Wei Fan has done a great deed by killing the demon. If we hand him over and compromise with the demon, how will the government explain to the people?"
Killing demons is a way to gain merit, this has been a consensus since ancient times.
Wang Meng said in a deep voice: "If Wei Fan is not handed over, do you know how many people will die? Besides, we are protecting the people. If Wei Fan is handed over, they will be happy to be free from the evil.
Our duty as bailiffs and detectives is to protect the people. It is a worthy death if we die for the people.
His death will bring peace to the whole city. I believe that if Wei Fan were here, he would agree with his character. "
Once this was said, it was agreed by many people.
Hu Qing said angrily, "You mean, if a demon asks you to be handed over in the future, everyone will hand you over? Yes, I forgot that a spineless person like you would never dare to go against a demon. That day will never come."
If Wei Fan had said this, Hu Qing would only be full of admiration, but she knew exactly what kind of person Wang Meng was, and no matter how righteously he spoke, it could not cover up his cowardly nature.
Wang Meng's expression remained unchanged, and he said righteously: "If there really comes a day when my life can be exchanged for the peace of the whole city, I will stand up without hesitation and will never be a coward.
Hu Qing, if you don't have this kind of awareness, I advise you to leave the government office as soon as possible, so as not to embarrass Master Hu one day."
"You...you don't feel any pain in your waist when you're standing and talking!"
Hu Qing's face turned red with anger. Although she knew that Wang Meng was hypocritical, they were both on the moral high ground, and she didn't know how to refute him for a moment.
"Shut up, everyone!"
The squad leader Luo Wen interrupted the quarrel between Wang Meng and Hu Qing and said, "Wei Fan cannot be handed over. Last night, the chief officer promoted him to one of the eight captains of the East District, taking over the area previously managed by Li Shen.
"Wang Meng, how can you, a captain of the police, say such a thing? The demon threatened us and we surrendered our people. "
Wang Meng's face changed, revealing an incredible expression: "How is it possible? Wei Fan killed Captain Li and caused such a disaster. How could the clerk promote him to Captain?"
Luo Wen's eyes turned cold, and he scolded, "How dare you question the officer? Did you see Wei Fan kill Captain Li with your own eyes?"
He became increasingly disappointed with Wang Meng.
If he hadn't had connections with the Tiger Gang like Li Shen, he would never have been able to become a captain of police with his IQ.
No matter how corrupt the government office is, or how much the city lord fears demons, these things cannot be brought to the table.
No matter how big a disaster Wei Fan had caused, killing that demon was considered an achievement in the government office. If there was no reward for the achievement, who would be willing to be a clerk and fight for the city lord in the future?
Hand over Wei Fan?
It is possible that as soon as he handed over Wei Fan, the bailiff would have him thrown into jail.
It is better to let the East District be ravaged by the tiger demon than to hand over Wei Fan, a fool like him.
Wang Meng's face changed, knowing that he had said something wrong.
At present, everyone knows that Li Shen’s death is related to Wei Fan, but no one has said it publicly.
By saying this, he was questioning the blindness of both the clerk and the squad leader.
Luo Wen waved his hand and said, "Everyone, disperse. Everyone, step up patrols. If a tiger demon is found entering the city, no one is allowed to avoid the battle."
There must be no ambiguity about the attitude towards demons. Luo Wen knew this in order to be able to sit in the leader position.
As for what your subordinates will do after you give them orders, that is their business.
Anyway, he is just a commander and doesn't have to fight on the front line.
"Wei Fan is here, let him come see me."
…
Wei Fan arrived late.
"Congratulations, Wei Fan, you are now a captain. From now on, I will call you Captain Wei!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
As soon as I entered the door, I heard Zhou Qi say that he became a police chief.
He didn't care whether he was a captain of police or not, but he still smiled.
It's not because of the promotion, but as a captain of police, he will have more freedom than before, and when he makes contributions, he will be able to choose more advanced martial arts.
"By the way, the squad leader wants you to go see him when you come!"
Zhou Qi did not mention anything about the tiger monster. The moment they passed each other, he whispered in Wei Fan's ear: "Be careful of Captain Wang Meng."
Wei Fan nodded and soon went to Luo Wen.
"Here are your captain's uniform and sword. Change into them before you come back!"
"good!"
Wei Fan nodded and quickly went to change into the captain's clothes. The clothes were not much different from his previous ones, but the sword he was wearing was much better than before and was a fine sword.
When Wei Fan pulled it out and took a look, a cold light flashed all over it instantly.
"You are indeed much more energetic. Looking at the entire Yuncheng, you are now the youngest captain."
Luo Wen showed approval, but he changed his tone and said, "I won't investigate how Li Shen died. We are all smart people. You understand what I mean."
Wei Fan nodded gently: "Thank you, squad leader!"
In fact, he was not afraid of people knowing that he was the one who killed Li Shen. If he was afraid, he would not have blatantly asked Li Shen to take him to find Jiang Chuan and catch him in one fell swoop.
This is confidence that comes from strength.
Why are the Tiger Gang so arrogant? It’s because the tiger demon behind them is powerful.
He is powerful now, so why shouldn't he take revenge?
However, Luo Wen gave him face and promoted him to captain of the police, so he still had to say thank you.
Luo Wen shook his head and said, "Did you know that the leader of the Tiger Gang died last night? He was eaten alive by the tiger monster behind them!"
Wei Fan was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized.
The Tiger Gang is powerful and domineering in Cloud City, but in essence, it is just a dog fostered by the tiger demon in Cloud City.
Now that the dog has killed its owner's son, it must be slaughtered. The most that can be done is to raise a new one.
It’s just like the relationship between the yamen and the yamen runners. There are plenty of cattle and horses, so if one doesn’t work, just replace them with a new one.
Although he was the one who killed the Tiger King's youngest son, the fundamental reason for the killing was that Jiang Chuan wanted to use Tiger Jiuye to get rid of Wei Fan.
Now that Jiang Chuan and Li Shen are both dead, those tiger demons can only vent their anger on the gang leader.
