Chapter 35 From now on, I, Chu Ning, will have someone to back me up.
Xiafeng Town Police Station.
Gan Qiao and a few constables were drinking wine and eating meat.
"Don't mention it, Xiafeng Town is really nice. The dishes cooked in this big boiler are more delicious than those in the restaurants in our county town."
A constable picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth happily.
Originally, they were planning to find a restaurant in the town and order a meal to be delivered to the police station, but for some unknown reason, all the restaurants in the town were closed.
Clearly, when they entered the town, all the restaurants were still open.
There was no other choice but to find a constable who could cook and set up the stove in the police station.
"Write down all the closed stores and settle the accounts later."
Gan Qiao spoke calmly. How could he not know what the merchants in the town were thinking? They were not welcome to come. If he did not want to stabilize these merchants now, he would have smashed their shops directly in the past.
"Chu Ning has been absent from his post. Just based on this fact, we can seize Xiafeng Town. However, if we want to take over Xiafeng Town, we cannot cause public resentment, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the new chief when he arrives."
"Captain Gan, no wonder you are the head of the police. Not only are you good at martial arts, but your brain is also faster than ours. Who is this new chief?"
"I heard that the new chief is from Daning County, and his name is..."
Before Gan Qiao could finish his words, the door of the police station was pushed open.
"Chun Ning!"
Seeing Chu Ning standing at the door, Gan Qiao and several detectives were stunned.
Although they told others that Chu Ning had deserted his post, they already regarded Chu Ning as a dead person in their hearts.
Although ordinary people in Daning County did not know what happened in Xiafeng Town more than half a month ago, the people in their patrol station were able to hear some rumors. The most important thing was that the Feihu Sect and the Blood Knife Hall, which had dominated Daning County for more than ten years, were gone. It would be strange if it did not attract attention.
There was a rumor that there was some big shot hiding in Xiafeng Town, so people from Feihumen and Xuedaotang went to Xiafeng Town to kill that big shot, but they were all killed by him in the end.
As for Chu Ning... he was just a small constable, it was normal for him to become cannon fodder and be hacked to death.
Such a big thing happened in Daning County. If it had happened in the past, the county would have been in chaos a long time ago. But the strange thing is that this time Daning County is very calm.
The new county magistrate did not come, and neither did the new chief.
The only remaining gang, the Sanzhu Gang, did not take this opportunity to expand its territory, and Daning County actually became more peaceful.
No one dares to act rashly.
Gan Qiao was the same at the beginning, until more than half a month had passed and he could no longer sit still.
The big shot in Xiafeng Town should have left. Now is the best time to take over Xiafeng Town. After the new chief takes office, I will join him. The new chief will naturally let me govern Xiafeng Town.
"Chu Ning, as a constable, you have left your post without permission. Do you still have the police station and the duties of a constable in your eyes?"
Gan Qiao took the initiative and shouted loudly, putting the blame on Chu Ning.
"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because Chief Huang is backing you up. Chief Huang has already left his post, and the new chief will take office soon. I will report the truth to the chief when the time comes."
Chu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly. A new chief has taken office? Then he had to change his original idea.
Chu Ning smiled and said, "Captain Gan is teaching me a lesson. I will drink three cups of wine as punishment to apologize to Captain Gan. I hope you will show some leniency."
Hearing Chu Ning's words, Gan Qiao snorted coldly. He didn't necessarily have to target Chu Ning. Although Chief Huang was gone and Chu Ning had lost his backer, Chu Ning's talent in martial arts was there. Sooner or later, he would be able to become a martial artist and serve as a captain of police like him.
As long as Chu Ning is willing to hand over Xiafeng Town, everything can be negotiated, and he can even give Chu Ning some compensation privately.
Everyone is trying to make money, there is no need to push Chu Ning into a desperate situation.
"Forget about three cups, just one cup will be enough." Gan Qiao gave a look, and immediately a constable stood up to make a seat for Chu Ning and brought a new cup.
"This is also for your own good. Xiafeng Town is a very complicated place. You are just a constable and it is easy to get into trouble. If the new chief knows that you are Chief Huang's confidant, how do you think he will deal with you?"
"Captain Gan is absolutely right."
Chu Ning smiled and poured wine into Gan Qiao's glass, and then poured wine into his own glass, "I wonder where the new chief comes from?"
"It's okay to tell you that the new chief once served as a teacher in our Daning County."
"Oh?" Chu Ning's hand holding the wine pot trembled, and the wine poured into the cup from the mouth of the pot: "Which instructor is it?"
"Liu Junshan, Instructor Liu, was the one standing with Chief Huang and Lord He on the day of the Constable Competition."
Ever since he learned about Chief Liu's background, Gan Qiao went to the academy to inquire about him. However, according to people in the academy, Chief Liu was extremely low-key in the academy and did not have a close relationship with other teachers.
Gan Qiao also knew that Chu Ning had attended the academy, but there were dozens of students enrolling every year, and Chu Ning had only stayed there for six months. In his opinion, he naturally would not have a very deep relationship with Chief Liu.
Most of the young detectives in Daning County have been to school, so Chu Ning is nothing.
Even if Chu Ning wanted to use this relationship to curry favor with Chief Liu, it would not pose a threat to him. Chief Liu would make the right choice between the chief constable and the constable.
"Captain Gan, come and have a drink."
Chu Ning suddenly sat down and raised his glass casually. Gan Qiao was stunned. Is this how you toast? "Chu Ning, what do you mean!"
"The meaning is very simple. Drink this glass of wine and get out of Xiafeng Town with your people. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you can walk out safely."
Chu Ning sneered. Gan Qiao had been a captain of police for more than ten years, but he had not yet broken through to the eighth rank. It was obvious that he had given up on martial arts and only chose to make money. There was nothing to be afraid of such a person.
Previously, I was worried about the new director general and didn't intend to have a head-on conflict.
But I didn't expect that my teacher went to the provincial capital and became the general manager when he came back.
The chief is my teacher, so why should I be afraid of him?
I am now a person with strength and background. A small Ganqiao is not worthy of a toast to me.
"Chu Ning, you are so outrageous!"
The constable who had stood up earlier, upon hearing Chu Ning's words, punched Chu Ning directly in order to show his loyalty in front of Gan Qiao.
But since he was not even a martial artist, this speed was nothing in Chu Ning's eyes. Chu Ning didn't even move his body and just slapped out with his palm.
Bang! The fists and palms collided, and the opponent was directly slapped away by Chu Ning.
Seeing this, the other detectives at the table also took action, but although they were fast, Chu Ning was even faster.
Bang, bang, bang! After a few noises, all the constables except Gan Qiao fell to the ground and wailed.
"You have achieved a breakthrough to become a martial artist!"
Gan Qiao's face showed emotion, but he did not take action immediately.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Because he was sure that Chu Ning had mastered the hidden power and made a breakthrough to become a martial artist, otherwise he would not have been able to achieve this step.
But more importantly, he didn't take action because he was afraid.
At such a close distance, even he himself believed that he could not defeat his men so easily.
A martial artist who has mastered the hidden power can easily defeat a dozen martial artists who don't have the hidden power. However, if these martial artists attack together from a close distance, they will still be hit by the opponent's fists and feet because they cannot keep up with the opponent's speed.
Chu Ning defeated his men with ease, which showed that Chu Ning not only cultivated the hidden power, but was also likely to be stronger than himself.
Gan Qiao was in a bit of a dilemma.
If he fights, he's afraid he won't be able to defeat his opponent.
If you don't take action, these men are watching you.
As for Chu Ning's rebellion, that was nothing at all.
He knew very well which side the higher-ups would stand on, between a martial artist who was less than 20 years old and himself, a middle-aged martial artist.
Unless the new chief is the type who cares a lot about hierarchy, Chu Ning will never be punished.
"Chun Ning, let's wait and see."
In the end, Gan Qiao decided not to take action and prepared to leave after saying something harsh.
We'll settle this later.
Swoosh! Chu Ning drew out the sword from his waist and blocked Gan Qiao's way.
"Why, do you still want to fight me?"
"How dare a small constable like me attack Captain Gan? I just want to tell him one thing. When you return to the county, you can go to the school to inquire about it in detail. If you find out anything, you are welcome to come to Xiafeng Town to tell me. I will prepare a banquet and wait for Captain Gan to come."
Gan Qiao's eyes narrowed, Chu Ning's words were suggestive.
School...
Could it be that Chu Ning and Chief Liu have a special relationship? If so, I really need to find out more.
"Okay, I will find out more about it."
Chu Ning looked at Gan Qiao's back as he left with the injured constables, and shook his head helplessly.
If Gan Qiao had been allowed to leave earlier, this guy would definitely have plotted against him behind his back. A man who had been a constable for more than ten years could definitely be considered a local tyrant.
He didn't like being targeted by local bullies, so he would only choose to kill Gan Qiao.
But Gan Qiao is the chief of police, and the death of a chief of police will inevitably lead to an investigation, which will bring trouble to his teacher.
So he gave Gan Qiao a chance.
Although the teacher was relatively low-key in the school, he had been in and out of the school many times, and the school's gatekeeper and some servants had also seen him. If Gan Qiao tried to inquire carefully, he would be able to find out.
If Gan Qiao comes to his house with gifts tomorrow, he will host a banquet to entertain him, which means that the matter between them is over. Whether they can still be friends from now on is another matter, but the hatred will be resolved.
We are all adults, especially those like Gan Qiao who are only interested in making money. If they are smart, they should know how to choose.
If Gan Qiao doesn't come tomorrow, it means he doesn't want to reconcile. I won't take action against Gan Qiao so quickly. I will wait until I find a suitable opportunity to kill him.
"Get someone to clean it up."
After taking a look at the food on the table, Chu Ning had no appetite at all. It was not because he was a germaphobe, but because he saw that the boiler in the corner of the yard had obviously been used.
No wonder it smells so good!
This meat fat...why not use it to light a lamp...
Never mind, this is a bit too perverted.
I have been exposed to modern civilization, how could I do such a thing? When I am short of money one day, I will sell it to Jin Lejia and let him make it into lamp oil.
