Chapter 158: Guarding the Holy Body



Early in the morning, many men came to the recruitment office.

Wei Zhaoshan and Zhao Gongliang took the recruitment order and lined up with the others.

"I didn't expect there to be so many people. It's amazing." Zhao Gongliang glanced ahead and found that the line was very long.

"Hey, Gongliang, are you joining the army too?" The man in front of Zhao Gongliang noticed his fellow villager.

"Isn't this Brother Yang? Long time no see. I came here just because I saw the recruitment notice." After saying this, Zhao Gongliang lowered his voice and asked quietly, "What it says here... shouldn't be false, right?"

"Haven't you heard about what happened a few days ago?" Yang Qi said, and then he introduced himself to the other party.

At that time, Zhao Gongliang and Wei Zhaoshan were still on their way back to Wangchen County.

According to Yang Qi, the county magistrate Chen Yunxuan placed a large stone in front of the entrance of Xinli Restaurant.

Among them was an official named Lin Tongxi who shouted that anyone who could lift the stone and walk fifty steps successfully and in the shortest time would receive a corresponding reward.

According to the rules, only the first fifty people are eligible to challenge. The top five people will receive additional rewards. The top ten, top five, and top three people who take the least time will all receive corresponding rewards.

Coupled with the endorsement of Mr. Xin, the owner of Xinli Restaurant, many people are eager to take on the challenge.

In the end, ten strongmen won the awards and were personally awarded by three county officials.

Seven of the ten strongmen agreed to join the army on the spot, and they also received additional rewards from the other side.

Since then, many people have changed their views on the government, believing that the current situation is different from the past and that the new county magistrate is a good official who keeps his word.

"A stone-moving competition? What a pity! If Zhaoshan were here, he would definitely win a prize." Zhao Gongliang sighed.

When introducing the matter of moving Shi Lixin, Yang Qi's voice was not small and Wei Zhaoshan heard it clearly.

If he had returned a few days earlier to participate in the competition...his wallet might not have been so empty.

But now that things have come to this, there is nothing to regret.

The key is that the government keeps its word and implements the benefits.

Just as Wei Zhaoshan was queuing up obediently, a ruffian bully squeezed in and stood in front of Wei Zhaoshan.

"Brother, cutting in line is not a good thing." Wei Zhaoshan patted the shoulder of the person in front of him.

The bully Fan Pai turned around and spat on the ground before responding to Wei Zhaoshan: "Oh, who was it?"

"So you're the Tong family's dog. Your master is dead. You must be very sad, right?"

"Alas, you're homeless, how pitiful! Our gang is still short of a pug. Would you consider coming over?"

Fan Pai acted like he deserved a beating, not caring about the other person's feelings at all.

"What? Are you going to hit me if you don't accept it?"

"So what if the Huming Escort Agency is still in trouble?"

"Without the escort agency, you are nothing!"

Wei Zhaoshan clenched his fists, wishing he could punch the other person right away.

Once upon a time, in order to support his family, Wei Zhaoshan had to join the Gao family as a security guard.

At that time, he witnessed the master of the Gao family doing many evil things.

Not long after taking office, Wei Zhaoshan took the initiative to leave.

It was also from that time that Master Gao, who was unhappy with him, would send people to cause trouble from time to time, and Fan Paibian was often sent among them.

"Not taking action? That's just fine. Then just wait behind me obediently!"

Just as Wei Zhaoshan was about to punch the other party, County Magistrate Feng Zibang appeared and scolded Fan Pai: "Why did you cut in line? Do you want to be beaten by our government?"

When Fan Pai saw the important man coming, he instantly became timid and his expression changed: "Sir, I was just joking with him."

"Is it okay to joke in this kind of situation? Get to the back and line up properly!" Feng Zibang said sternly.

Noticing that many people were looking over here, Fan Pai obediently pushed himself to the back.

After waiting in line for a while, Wei Zhaoshan finally arrived at the registration office and submitted his information.

"You've passed. You can continue to receive your items and take the examination."

"Given your qualifications, you'll likely be selected. If you continue down, you can even get something."

"Here is your admission ticket and registration form. Take this and go in."

After the person in charge of registration gave directions, he started to register the next person's information.

The next step was simple. Someone collected the registration forms and handed twenty of them to Shen Xingyao.

Shen Xingyao checked everything one by one and walked out after confirming that there was no suspicious information.

At this moment, Lin Tongxi also came out and inspected the situation here.

"Miss Xingyao, how are you?" Lin Tongxi asked.

"There's no problem at the moment. I plan to verify their information with them in person. Do you want to join me?" Shen Xingyao invited.

Lin Tongxi nodded and followed Shen Xingyao's lead in asking questions one by one.

"Wei Gongliang."

"Here!" Wei Gongliang, who was called, stood up.

"Let me ask you some information..." Shen Xingyao randomly selected information from the registration form, and Wei Gongliang answered all of them correctly.

This step may seem redundant, but it is actually to prevent someone from filling in false information or concealing something.

"Wei Zhaoshan." Shen Xingyao read out the next person's name.

A sturdy man stood up, looking about the same age as Yue Lingyun.

"How many people are there in your family?" Shen Xingyao looked up and asked.

"There are four people in my family: me, my wife, a son and a daughter." Wei Zhaoshan answered truthfully.

While Shen Xingyao continued to ask questions, Lin Tongxi was carefully checking the other party's information through [Intelligence Detection].

Among so many people, he finally saw a thousand-mile horse.
