Chapter 12 Captain Zhang's Ambition, Taoist Priest, I really want to make progress.

"Taoist Priest! Taoist Priest! I finally found you. Mayor Wu is going to host a banquet for you and Master Lianhua at noon." On the mountain road, Captain Zhang ran over breathlessly and spoke.

This time, Captain Zhang used the honorific "you".

"Oh? Mayor Wu wants to treat me to a meal? That's great. Before I leave, I would like to thank Mayor Wu for his hospitality yesterday." Yi Chen couldn't help but smile when he heard that.

"Let's go, lead the way!" Yi Chen waved his hand.

Captain Zhang looked at Yi Chen's tall figure and felt dazed. He had a strange feeling. How come Master Yi seemed to have become stronger after just a few hours of absence?

"Could it be that the Taoist priest has been hiding his abilities all along? Hiss! How old is the Taoist priest now?" Captain Zhang's pupils trembled.

This is a golden thigh.

Yinlong Temple is indeed a golden signboard.

He thought about it for a moment, reluctantly took out a silver ingot, and handed it over quietly.

Yi Chen took a glance and it was not light, estimated to be around twenty taels, but he did not reach out to take it immediately.

Some of the silver is hot.

"Captain Zhang, what do you mean?"

Captain Zhang smiled humbly and said, "In a few days, the county magistrate will surely host a banquet for the Taoist priest and give him the balance of three hundred taels for this evil incident."

"I hope the Taoist priest will say a few good words to the county magistrate."

"Didn't the previous chief constable die in Qingyuan Town?"

"Master, I really want to improve."

Yi Chen: “…” Ababa Ababa.

In fact, Yi Chen has a good impression of Captain Zhang. It is not a bad thing to pursue progress. The main thing is that you have to do things and be able to do things. Captain Zhang did not slack off in the incident of evil spirits in Qingyuan Town and participated in the whole process.

Even if he has no credit, he has worked hard, and I have fed many mosquitoes following him.

At least he is the only chief constable in Fengyun County, and this behavior is worthy of praise, but his political wisdom is too low.

Direct bribery? Who do you think of Master Yichengzi? He promised his master to be righteous.

Thinking of this, Yi Chen's face turned serious: "Captain Zhang, who do you think I am, Yi Chengzi?"

"How can you look at me like this, Blessed be the infinite heavenly master."

"If you are devoted to Taoism, you can donate some money to the merit box of my Yinlong Temple. This time, I will take note of your contribution."

Yi Chen stopped here. Having said that, it now depends on Captain Zhang’s understanding.

As expected, Captain Zhang had a good understanding and was a bit qualified to be a chief detective. He said quickly, "Master, I said the wrong thing."

"I seek the Tao. I can also seek the Tao."

"I didn't make myself clear just now. Look at my broken mouth. I have a strong heart for Taoism. Yinlong Temple is the backbone of the Taoist sect in Fengyun County. I am donating this ingot of silver to the Taoist temple as incense money to prove my sincere heart for Taoism."

"Is that so?" Yi Chen's expression lightened up after hearing this, and he nodded and said, "Since it is money for the Taoist priest, I will accept it on your behalf with reluctance."

"Don't do this next time!"

Captain Zhang nodded repeatedly.

The two of them walked along the mountain road, and Yi Chen couldn't help but decide to give a few suggestions.

"Captain Zhang, it's good to be brave enough to take on responsibilities, but you must not commit crimes. We can make clean money legally and reasonably."

"Master, I understand, I understand."

"You know nothing!"

"A good chief detective should not always focus on the trifles of a poor man. The highest level of making money is to pluck the feathers without letting the goose cry. Do you understand?"

"Your predecessor was a jerk. He didn't make much money and got into trouble. He was hated by others and died a violent death. It was his retribution."

"I won't even recite the mantra for this kind of person."

"Come closer and I'll teach you a few moves."

Captain Zhang leaned over with an expectant look on his face. After a while, his expression became more and more confused, and he said with a sad face, "Master, I don't understand what you are saying."

Captain Zhang’s mind is now full of review, empowerment, grasp, benchmarking, sedimentation, middle platform, funnel, closed loop, strategy, fulfillment, alignment, pull-through, forced, landing, bond, matrix, cognition, collaboration, feedback, series connection, compatibility, packaging…

I don't understand why it's so powerful, but it's like listening to a divine book.

"Oh, what a stupid brain." Yi Chen sighed.

He decided to put it more clearly.

"There is a Zhenbao Street in Fengyun County, which is under your jurisdiction. There are people selling fake antiques, fishing with King Chicken, and fake medicine. Is there a good person among this group of people? Even if there are people selling real goods, they will not open for business for three years, and they will make a profit for three years after opening. The profit is so great that I want to do it, but unfortunately the master won't let me."

Yi Chen's face was full of regret at this time.

"None of these people are short of money, but they keep fighting for seats, are unhygienic, and throw garbage everywhere. Is this acceptable?"

"You, get some lime, paint a few stalls, and charge them for the stalls."

"Hire a few old, weak, sick and disabled people to do the cleaning, collect sanitation fees from them, and pay me the maximum monthly salary according to normal people. Don't hire the good ones, just hire the miserable ones, honest and kind people, and consider it a good deed."

"Your son will be more likely to have dermatitis if you give birth to him this way."

Upon hearing this, Captain Zhang looked at Yi Chen with a look of reverence and said, "Master, I understand. I have realized it."

"You understand nothing, you understand nothing."

"How do we divide the money we collect?"

"ah?"

"Can you tell how deep the water is here?"

"You can contact a few good friends who are also constables. Of the money collected, 20% can be divided among yourselves, 30% can be given to the county magistrate, and 50% can be given to the county magistrate."

"Why 30% belongs to the county magistrate and 50% belongs to the county master? You can figure it out yourself."

"Also, don't charge too much for stall fees and sanitation fees. You need to charge them slowly and steadily, and keep them within the bottom line."

Captain Zhang was full of admiration for Yi Chen at this time: "Master, I really understand this time. Thirty percent goes to the county magistrate because he is in charge of the military force and needs to intervene in case of conflict, while fifty percent goes to the county lord because most of the people setting up stalls have large businesses in the city and need the county lord to mediate."

"The long-term goal is to not let that group of people unite and overturn the table, otherwise you will be pushed out as a scapegoat by the people above you."

"After all this operation, I have taken care of my colleagues and superiors. If I don't become the chief detective, who will?" At this moment, Captain Zhang was smiling happily, as if he heard the voice from heaven.

"Finally I've gotten the hang of it. Remember, in this highly profitable industry, you should make money from whoever has money. Don't just look at the little idiots on the poor. Just let them go."

"Remember, after this is done, whoever is still selling King Chicken or any other dog or cat on Zhenbao Street, I will destroy his stall. They have no innovation, only copying. The industry is ruined by these people."

Yi Chen said angrily.

If there weren't so many bastards copying his style of play, he would have been able to make a few more lousy bucks.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Only those who have experienced the rain know that when it rains, they break other people’s umbrellas.

Since I can’t sell it, no one else should sell it.

Yi Chen heard the news earlier that the number of people selling King Chicken is increasing.

It’s piracy, blatant piracy, and they don’t even pay him copyright fees. That’s too much!

Captain Zhang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead...It turns out that you are the ancestor.

"Don't worry, Taoist priest. I will punish them severely when I get back." Captain Zhang promised, patting his chest.

"Master, can I take you as my master?"

"No, the master will lead you in, but the sentence depends on the individual."

"ah???"

"You are wrong. A master can only lead you to the door, but it depends on the individual to practice. You have a poor understanding, so I can't teach you. From now on, you should just live on the property in Zhenbao Street. If you have spare money, go to brothels less often to listen to music. Instead, do more good deeds and use your influence to do more practical things."

"If you do something wrong in the future and use my name and say that I taught you, then I will save your soul." Yi Chen smiled kindly.

Captain Zhang: “…”

"Don't worry, Taoist priest. I definitely won't dare to do that. I want to make progress and do more for the people of Fengyun County. From now on, without your approval, I will just stay at Zhenbao Street."

Captain Zhang understood the principle of listening to advice and having enough food to eat.

Yi Chen smiled when he heard this. Captain Zhang now looked like a chief detective. He looked at Captain Zhang and nodded slightly, saying:

"Xiao Zhang, I have something for you to do. After you come down the mountain, please investigate the life of Mr. Shi from Fu Shou Tang to see if he is a kind and generous person."

"Also, you need to find out the reputation of Mayor Wu Changshou of Qingyuan Town and the incident involving a girl named Xiao Cui who committed suicide by jumping into the river a few months ago. "

"Also, if there are any big or small events in Fengyun County in the future, or if you find anything strange, you can send someone to come to Yinlong Temple to tell me."

"Okay, Master, I will definitely do it for you." Captain Zhang suddenly had an idea and realized that he could strike the snake while it was still there.

Yi Chen glanced at Captain Zhang in surprise and smiled: "You've made rapid progress."

"Well, from now on you will be my registered disciple. If anyone gives you trouble or you encounter something strange, come to the Hidden Dragon Temple to find me."

"As long as it's not your fault, I want to see who dares not to give me some face."

"Disciple, the more I look at you, the more you look like the chief constable of Fengyun County."

Captain Zhang: "It's all thanks to the master's cultivation."

Yi Chen: "It all depends on your personal performance. There is not much I can do to help you."

After half a cup of tea.

Captain Zhang couldn't help but ask, "Master, how come you know so many tricks at such a young age? Is there really someone in the world who is born knowing everything?"

"Blessings and blessings to the infinite Heavenly Venerable, disciple, there is no such thing as someone who is born with knowledge. The main reason is that you have no spirituality."

"Unlike a teacher, I have so much spirituality that it's about to overflow."

"Then how can we have this kind of spirituality?"

At this moment, Yi Chen's face showed a look of reminiscence, and he said faintly: "Simple, more experience, more observation, and more learning.

You are fooled once a day, and each time you are fooled, it is different. As long as you persist for a period of time and survive, you will be enlightened."

Captain Zhang: “…”

"I'll just do whatever the master tells me to do."

Yi Chen paused when he heard this: "Actually, you are quite spiritual, my disciple. I almost misjudged you."

Yi Chen's temporary decision to accept Captain Zhang as his registered disciple was actually a casual move he made on a whim.

If he could place a trusted confidant at the gate of the yamen and ask him for information, it would be of great benefit. It would be a good opportunity for Captain Zhang to keep an eye out for who is targeting their Yinlong Temple.

Anyway, he doesn't have to pay anything, just think of it as planting a seed, and whether it bears fruit or not is up to fate.

As for the issue of Captain Zhang betraying him, he had never considered it, because he would use the principles of righteousness to teach him how to return to the right path.

Is the Taoist's boat a flower boat? You can get on and off whenever you want. If a dog barks at the Yinlong Temple a few more times, it will be slapped twice. And betrayal? Hiss, the Taoist himself dare not think about the consequences.
