663 This is adults' territory.
My nephew was very dedicated. Every day he would wander around teahouses and alleys, asking for news, all kinds of news, customs and traditions, whether true or false, and he would tell me about them every now and then.
Tong Mingliang learned quite a bit about this place, and found it to be just as chaotic as Huangtu County before, but even more dangerous, which made him feel a chill in his heart.
Mr. Wang himself didn't seem to care about the people he recommended, but he nodded without saying much, his attitude very clear, which Tong Mingliang understood.
If the person I recommend is not exceptionally talented, then they must be honest and hardworking, and not of poor character, lest they tarnish my reputation.
Moreover, if one recommends someone, then one becomes the guarantor, and if something goes wrong, one will have no face to face one's teacher.
Tong Mingliang was grateful and specially selected two people from his family to come to the government office and find jobs for them.
This favor undoubtedly allowed the clansmen to have government jobs, and the two clansmen had a relatively stable life. Moreover, it was a source of pride for the entire Tong family in Huangtu County.
From then on, whether it's told to outsiders or boasted about within the family, it will be a source of pride when getting married or having a daughter-in-law.
Once the two men had finished their tasks, the news spread back to the clan, causing ripples of joy, much like a spring breeze sweeping across a lake.
Tong Mingliang was also filled with indescribable emotions—family unity stemmed from helping the village and the leader.
As the leader and the head of the organization, Tong Mingliang felt an inescapable sense of responsibility and became even more rigorous in his self-discipline, striving to manage the affairs around him for Mr. Wang.
Tong Mingliang looked at the letter from his parents, which seemed to have been sent from afar, and felt the pride, excitement, and wild joy between the lines that expressed how capable their son was.
It felt as if I could travel through time and see my parents' happy expressions.
That smile must have been as radiant as summer flowers, with tears of happiness glistening in the eyes, and the curve of the lips, a moment of pride, seemingly capable of bearing all the joy and pride.
Mr. Wang gently closed his eyes, as if immersed in his own world, speaking softly, as if conversing with a corner of his heart, or perhaps deep in thought.
A moment later, he opened his eyes again, his eyes gleaming with wisdom, as if he had seen through all the troubles of the world.
He thought to himself, "Although I have read too many unpredictable things about the world in books, now that I am looking closely at the case files, I realize that the actual situation in the world is even more like a drama than what is written in books."
The people have suffered many calamities, and I have not been able to help much in the past, but now I must do my best to resolve this matter.
I don't expect everyone to return lost items, but I strive not to betray the good in others.
At this moment, Mr. Wang is calm and composed. Looking at the changes in the world and the vicissitudes of life, he needs to be even more calm and composed.
Having transcended worldly troubles, they stand at a higher level, overlooking everything in this world.
He said softly, "Among these case files, some of the people involved have probably already been dealt with during your handling of these cases, sir. As for the other cases, if the parties involved are still alive, they will be handled according to the law."
"Yes, sir." Tong Mingliang, Fei Huai-ren, and the others responded in unison.
Nodding slightly, Mr. Wang felt no sense of power, only a growing pressure, both tangible and intangible.
Balancing various factors, improving people's livelihoods, and considering many other considerations, he thought to himself, 'Why can't I just threaten my students with a knife and keep slashing them?'
This is good in many ways, but it doesn't suit my temperament. I'm a gentleman, after all. I need to set a good example.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared in his eyes. He was very satisfied with his students, whether it was He Chen or Yun Su, Yun Su was also half a student.
Tong Mingliang, who is also close to me, is good at doing things, not reckless, serious, humble, hardworking and eager to learn.
Touching his non-existent beard, Mr. Wang whispered, "The city's order has basically returned to normal recently, and people's lives are gradually becoming more stable, but everyone must not let their guard down."
It must be understood that the outside world is unpredictable, and everyone knows something of it to some extent; there is a risk that unforeseen events may occur. Night patrols are especially crucial, and Constable Fei must be extra vigilant to ensure the peace and tranquility of the city.
Upon hearing this, Chief Constable Fei bowed slightly and replied solemnly, "Yes, sir. Please rest assured, sir, I will do my utmost to maintain order in Changzhou and will not dare to slacken in the slightest."
I will increase nighttime patrols and take strict precautions against any potential dangers to ensure that people can live and work in peace and contentment.
He then softly expressed his gratitude, "This is all thanks to Inspector Chu and Inspector Bu. There were some petty thieves and a few restless gangs testing the waters in the city these past few days, but thankfully the two of you stepped in and ruthlessly quelled their arrogance."
Mr. Wang nodded approvingly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
Officer Fei is a responsible person. Although his cultivation is still a bit weak, it is enough. With the help of two people from the academy, he can usually catch petty thieves quickly.
Chu Ci nodded slightly and remained silent.
After nodding, Bu Yaoyao said in a low voice, seemingly unconcerned, "They're just a few bandits from the neighborhood, but the mastermind behind them is probably the Yu family."
According to information I've recently gathered, the Yu family has been aggressively acquiring medicinal herbs, a stark contrast to their previous practice of making a fortune selling herbs. It seems they have quite ambitious plans.
Although three people were killed on the spot, the remaining bandits did not extract much valuable information from them.
They're just scapegoats paid to do the dirty work; the real mastermind is probably hiding much deeper.
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he said softly, "I wonder how you intend to deal with these people, sir."
Mr. Wang smiled slightly, turned to look at Yuan Cangming, his eyes gleaming with a testing light, and slowly asked, "Cangming, what do you think should be done with these people?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Cangming pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "In my opinion, since these people are bandits and are involved in the Yu family's conspiracy, they should not be let off lightly."
But they were just acting under orders; the real culprits were the Yu family.
Therefore, I suggest that they be detained and interrogated thoroughly to try to extract more information about the Yu family from them. Since they have received money, there must be someone involved in the transaction.
At the same time, we must strengthen surveillance of homes in order to find conclusive evidence and bring them to justice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Cangming smiled lightly, a smile that revealed a hint of cheerfulness and confidence.
He gently shook his folding fan and continued, "Of course, if we were in an academy, I would probably focus more on moral education and use reason to guide them onto the right path."
But this is Changzhou City; we must take more direct and forceful measures against these bandits.
