Cosmic Professional Gladiator

In the private room of the restaurant, only Xu Jingming, Zhang Ke, and Qian Yan sat at the same table.

"Bang bang bang." There was a soft knock on the door.

"Come in." Vice Captain Qian Yan said.

Immediately an old man opened the door and came in, and saluted the three of them with great enthusiasm: "My family is very happy to hear that Mr. Jing has taken office, and ordered the younger one to send a congratulatory gift." He said and put a kit on the table.

"Captain, this is the butler of Mr. Yu's house on Nansheng Street." Qian Yan introduced.

Xu Jingming understood: "It turned out to be Master Yu! Master Yu has a heart."

There are only three officials with certain status in the area under my jurisdiction. Of course, the 'officials' mentioned here are all at least rank five! In the imperial capital, officials below the fifth rank... are really small officials, not worth mentioning, and the Blood Rain Guards are too lazy to monitor them.

"Retire, little one." The old man gave a congratulatory gift and immediately left.

Xu Jingming picked up the kit and looked at it. Inside was a stack of gold leaves. He reckoned that a stack of gold leaves added up to one or two weights.

"Ten gold." Xu Jingming was a little surprised, and took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, which recorded in detail the annual tributes of officials, wealthy families, wealthy businessmen, and gangs in the jurisdiction.

"Master Yu gave too much." Xu Jingming said.

"For the former captain, Master Yu gave 50 taels of silver, doubled this time." Zhang Ke nodded, "It seems that he intends to befriend the captain."

Qian Yan also praised: "This time the congratulatory gift is ten gold. According to common sense, Sir Yu will give this amount every year in the future! Sir Yu is really generous to you, captain."

The three of them ate and drank while waiting for others to give gifts, and at the same time, they checked the list to see who didn't give it, and who gave less!

After eating and drinking for a long time, everything in the jurisdiction has been delivered.

Blood Rain Guard's money is the last thing to owe!

Not one less!

"The total is two thousand three hundred and fifty taels of silver." Xu Jingming looked at the final total and was in a good mood. He looked at the two captains with a smile, "The next time I give it, I have to wait until next year, right?"

"Yes, once a year! This is an old rule." Zhang Ke nodded.

Qian Yan said in a low voice: "Actually, it can be squeezed, and some wealthy businessmen can still squeeze more."

"But that would break the rules." Zhang Ke said, "If it spreads out, the reputation in the Blood Rain Guard is not good, and the wealthy businessmen in the imperial capital are not related? If you are really anxious, you may be in trouble There may even be killers who come into our house at night, and the rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry."

"A group of scumbags can turn the world upside down?" Qian Yan sneered, "Captain, we can completely stare at a rich businessman! Eat him up!"

"Remember." Xu Jingming's voice was a little bit colder, and he glanced at Qian Yan coldly, "Our Blood Rain Guard has the rules of the Blood Rain Guard! If you violate the rules... Hmph, Vice Captain Qian, Don't blame me for turning my face and denying people!"

Qian Yan was startled.

I thought that the captain might have a big background, so I pulled the captain to make a few votes!

But obviously, the captain cherishes his feathers quite a bit.

"I understand, I understand." Qian Yan laughed along, "The captain's future is more important."

"Um."

After Xu Jingming contacted for a long time, he found two deputy captains under his command. Zhang Ke looked burly and strong, but in fact he had a smooth personality and followed the rules. But Qian Yan looks rich and smiling, but in fact he is vicious and ignorant of rules.

In Blood Rain Guard, there are many people who ignore the rules.

"Bang bang bang." Someone knocked on the door again.

"Captain, bring the toothman here." Blood Rain Guard brought a toothman with him.

Yaren immediately knelt down respectfully: "Little one, I have met you adults."

"Captain, this guy knows everything about selling and renting houses in our jurisdiction," Xueyuwei said.

Xu Jingming nodded.

Now that I have taken office, I can't live in Fei Mansion all the time, I have to move out.

...

With my status, I don't know how long I can live, so naturally I don't buy a house, but rent it.

The rented house is within the jurisdiction area, relatively quiet, and there are restaurants, teahouses and other bustling places within a mile or so.

"Just such a house, the annual rent is a full 50 taels of silver. If you buy it, you need two thousand taels. It's not easy to live in the imperial capital! The rent is much higher than that of Lanyue City." Xu Jingming looked at this ordinary house. There are only a few rooms in the house, and there is a small martial arts field with half an acre of land behind the house, which is why Xu Jingming rented this house.

There were blood rain guards and auxiliary guards who moved furniture, quilts and other daily necessities, and quickly arranged them.

"Captain, everything has been arranged." Zhang Ke arranged everything, "Captain, do you really need to find two maids to serve you?"

"No, remember to buy some good wine for the brothers." Xu Jingming threw out a piece of silver.

"Thank you Captain."

All the Blood Rain Guards responded in unison, all beaming with joy. They are not happy for the drinks, but feel that their "boss" still values ​​them, not stingy character! Some indifferent captains...wouldn't spend a penny on their subordinates at all! It's hard to work under such a captain.

The auxiliary guards had already obediently left, they had nothing to drink. Blood Rain Guards and Auxiliary Guards are two different levels. How can the captain of the Blood Rain Guard buy wine for the auxiliary guards? Xu Jingming dared to buy it, but the guards didn't dare to drink it.

Soon Xu Jingming was the only one left in the house.

Outside the gate of the house, there are five blood rain guards waiting for a long time! They are responsible for guarding the street, and they also obey Xu Jingming's orders at any time.

"The annual filial piety within the jurisdiction is about 2,300 taels, and the salary is 600 taels. I usually save some oil and water... If I'm lucky, I can save 5,000 taels a year. But I have to spend money on many aspects , making friends, entertaining guests, the boss may have to share some, these expenses are not small." Xu Jingming thought, "In the position of the captain of the Blood Rain Guard, it is very easy to save 3,500 taels a year. Not bad."

"If you behave yourself, it will take 30 years to earn 10,000 gold!"

"But in the blood rain world, with my identity, can I live for thirty years?"

Xu Jingming shook his head.

As a citizen player of the universe, from the day he became the captain of the Blood Rain Guard, the targets he received have been increasing.

If it becomes a hundred households, the targeting will increase again.

According to the information I collected... the higher the official position, the harder it is to live long!

"Captain, should we go to Wenxiang Building?" The voice of his subordinates came from the door.

"Let's go to Wenxiang Tower." Xu Jingming invited many captains in Qianhusuo today as the host, so he had to arrive early.

*****

Xu Jingming quickly got acquainted with the life of the captain of the Blood Rain Guard. As the captain, he can eat, drink and have fun every day!

Because some of the hard work is done by the auxiliary guards, monitoring the work everywhere is done by the blood rain guards under their command! Only when there is a major event, will the captain be reported and let the captain give orders. In fact, the so-called "big event" is probably difficult to encounter once in ten or eight days.

"It's such a relaxing day." Xu Jingming practiced marksmanship in the martial arts training ground of his residence. He didn't go out until the sun went down. Immediately, the five blood rain guards outside the gate immediately followed.

All the way to Jiuweilou.

"Captain." The two vice-captains, Zhang Ke and Qian Yan, warmly greeted him. Xu Jingming waved his hand, and the five Blood Rain Guards retreated to find a place to drink and eat.

Xu Jingming, Zhang Ke, and Qian Yan entered Jiuweilou.

Take a seat on the corner of the second floor.

"Captain, the 'Nine Flavors' of Jiuweilou is also very famous in the imperial capital, you must try it." Zhang Ke said.

"Tell me, what happened in the past three days." Xu Jingming asked.

According to the rules, meet once every three days! The two vice-captains reported all the work for these three days. If there is a special event... Naturally, it will be reported to Xu Jingming as soon as possible.

"In the past three days, our jurisdiction has been fairly stable, that is, some brave and ruthless things, petty theft, and some people who died were gangsters, so it's not worth mentioning. However, there have been many major events in other places in the imperial capital. .” Zhang Ke said.

"Tell me and listen." Xu Jingming listened while eating.

As time goes on……

There are more and more guests in Jiuweilou. At the same time, there are performances on the stage. The sound of music sounds like a gurgling stream flowing in the entire restaurant. The guests of the restaurant are also enjoying the atmosphere.

Xu Jingming is also in a good mood, because the music is nice enough, the girl performing is pretty enough, and Jiuwei Lou's Jiuwei is well-deserved of its reputation.

"Boom boom boom."

Suddenly there was the sound of noisy footsteps, which made Xu Jingming frown slightly, for a person with a little taste... At this time, when he hears the music, he should walk more lightly. However, the footsteps of this group of people did not restrain themselves in the slightest, and they just came to the second floor.

When this group of people came to the second floor, a guard scanned the surroundings, paused on the three of Xu Jingming, and said, "Guests on the second floor, please get out of your seats and go downstairs quickly! Meal money, we apply to the public to pay for it."

"please."

The guards in gray looked at each table and urged.

"Shen Gong's house?" The guests on the second floor also had some spare money, otherwise they wouldn't come to Jiuweilou for dinner. But seeing the aura of this group of people and hearing the name of 'Shen Gongjia', many guests immediately got up one by one.

"Captain, it's Mr. Shen's family." Qian Yan whispered, "Let's go."

"Mr. Shen?"

Xu Jingming glanced at the group of people.

This group of people is quite arrogant, even the guards are arrogant!

"The Shen Gong family is one of the top wealthy families in the imperial capital, and even the envoys of the Blood Rain Guard Fourth Mansion would not dare to provoke them lightly." Xu Jingming knew very well that Shen Gong's family could rank among the top ten in the imperial capital, and looking at the entire In the world of blood rain, those are enough terrorist forces to be ranked in the top twenty.

Even the 'Fei Qing' behind him, Fei Qing is powerful because the emperor supports him.

The strength of the Shen Gong family is that the family is deeply rooted, and the emperor also appeases such a big family as the cage.

"Captain." Zhang Ke urged softly, "Let's go."

"Walk."

Xu Jingming got up.

Conflict between myself and Shen Gong's family is to die.

"Brother, these three are Blood Rain Guards, right?" A man and a woman surrounded by everyone, the woman glanced at Xu Jingming and the three who stood up and left. Xu Jingming and his others still showed part of their official uniforms under their robes.

"It's just a bunch of mad dogs." The young man glanced at Xu Jingming and the others with disgust in his eyes, "There are a large group of blood rain guards staring at my house all the year round. No matter how they scold them, they keep silent and stare at our house."

"Even in the entire imperial capital, you can see this group of mad dogs in some famous streets." The young man curled his lips, "I didn't expect to see three mad dogs again when I came to Jiuweilou today. It's really disappointing."

Xu Jingming, Zhang Ke, and Qian Yan walked down the stairs, and they clearly heard the man say 'three mad dogs'.

Qian Yan was very calm.

Zhang Ke's ears turned red.

Xu Jingming also frowned.

But the three of them still walked down the Jiuweilou.

"There is no one idle, junior sister. I will ask the master chef from Jiuweilou to cook for you and bring out their famous Jiuwei for you to taste." The young man said with a smile, "It's not just anyone who can make Jiuwei. Master Lou cooks."

"Oh." The woman was also very curious, enjoying the courteousness of her senior brother, and she still felt very honored by the courtship of Shen Gong's children.

On the entire second floor, only they, a man and a woman, were sitting, listening to music and enjoying delicious food, while everyone else stood and waited.

...

Go out onto the street.

"It's really unlucky, I meet Shen Gongfu every time I have a meal." Zhang Ke vented his frustration only after leaving the restaurant.

"Son of Shen Gong's family, can we provoke them? In their eyes, we are dogs." Qian Yan curled his lips.

"It's a mad dog." Xu Jingming added.

"Captain, don't be angry. Those big figures in the imperial capital generally don't care about us." Zhang Ke said, "This Shen Gongfu has an average status in Shen Gong's family, and the younger generation does not rank in the top five, like his cousin Shen Gongshou who is less than three years old." At the age of ten, he is already a second-rank official, he is highly valued by the emperor, and his reputation is excellent. He Shen Gongfu, who is nothing, has a very bad reputation, but is very arrogant in front of us."

"No matter how arrogant he is, we have to endure it." Qian Yan shook his head, "He was born with a title! Behind him is the huge Shen Gong family!"

"There are quite a few people from Shen Gong's family in Blood Rain Guard." Zhang Ke also said, "There are three people in every thousand households of Blood Rain Guard. That Lord Shen's family is the Duke! He is an important minister of the empire! If you move your little finger, we will be smashed to pieces." .”

Because Xu Jingming collected information from the virtual world network, he knew the strength of Shen Gong's family.

Information records.

In a battle for the imperial throne more than 300 years ago, Shen Gong's family had 3,000 dead men participate! A prince who will support finally pushes to the throne. All of the three thousand dead soldiers back then were at least second-rate masters!

...

night.

Shen Gongfu, who stepped off the flower boat, staggered and felt very comfortable.

"My lord." The guards had been waiting for a long time.

"Um."

Shen Gongfu got into the carriage and asked casually, "Little lady of the Zhang family, did you get it in another courtyard?"

"Killed his husband, the little lady of this family has been tied up in another courtyard." The personal guard whispered.

"well done."

Shen Gongfu raised his eyebrows in a very good mood, and put down the curtain of the car.

Thinking of that plump young lady of the Zhang family, Shen Gongfu felt itchy in his heart.

"Uncle is too, he only prefers his son!" Shen Gongfu looked at the carriage, his face suddenly turned ugly, "His three sons are all officials, and the eldest brother is a second-rank official. The third brother is also a blood rain guard. Qianhu! What about me? I went to ask an official, but my uncle asked me to go to the academy to copy books? He said he wanted to grind my temper?"

"That's why my father died early, otherwise it would be your turn to be the head of the family." Shen Gongfu thought to himself.

He is very dissatisfied.

Although he was arrogant and reckless outside, he was severely suppressed within the family! He feels all kinds of injustice!

"My guards have to be raised by myself! I have to buy my house with my own money. Hiring a top-notch expert guard will cost you two or three thousand taels of silver a year! Big brother has a group of top guards around me, and I, I want Recruit yourself! Even a first-class master is reluctant." Shen Gongfu's eyes were full of ferocity, and many thoughts were emerging.

With his status, he naturally had to maintain his face, and his monthly expenses were huge. The family suppressed his expenditure in various ways, which made Shen Gongfu even more dissatisfied.

suddenly--

Puff puff! ! !

One after another sound.

"Huh?" Shen Gongfu's face changed, and he immediately opened the curtain of the car, and saw five guards fell down, and the only guard was stabbed in the chest by a gun while supporting two moves.

"Ho ho ho -" the guard was pierced by the spear, and made a sound in pain. When the spear was drawn, the guard fell limply to the ground.

Shen Gongfu looked at the man in black in disbelief.

The man in black came over with a bronze mask and a spear in his hand.

"Forgive me, this good man please forgive me." Shen Gong Fu Lian said, "I have money, I have money! Whoever invites you here, I will pay double!"

"Double?" The bronze masked man made a hoarse voice, "Your reward is not low."

"I have some gold here." Shen Gongfu immediately took out the kit from his bosom, "here is at least a hundred gold! Also, my precious jade... is also worth at least a hundred gold. I, I... my Several banknotes use the same code, which is 'autumn, wind, leaf, snow'."

"No more?" said the bronze masked man, "Too few."

"No no, you send me back, I still have it at home." Shen Gongfu said eagerly, "I am a son of Shen Gong's family, I have a title, you can't kill me, you kill me, you are finished! Heaven and earth... ...you can't escape."

"puff."

A flying knife was directly inserted between Shen Gongfu's eyebrows.

Shen Gongfu's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it. Which force is it that kills the children of Shen Gong's family?

The man in the bronze mask inspected Shen Gongfu's body for a while, then picked up the brocade bag, precious jade, silver notes and other items in his arms, and carried the bodies of two second-rate master guards. Because the other guards were killed by throwing knives, these two guards... were killed by guns!

"Whoosh."

Carrying the two corpses, the bronze masked man disappeared quickly.

"Plop! Plop!"

The two bodies were disfigured, tied with stones and thrown into the lake.

The bronze-masked man watched the two bodies sink, and the dark lake rippled in circles.

"The dignified Shen Gong family's sons are so arrogant outside and so grand... Is this what you carry with you?" The bronze masked man looked at the kit, "The horse has no night grass and is not fat, and he will be a blood rain guard for a year honestly. It's only three to five thousand taels of silver, of course I have to find another source of income. Killing this son of Shen Gong's family, the income is not high."

The bronze masked man put away his mask, revealing Xu Jingming's face.

"This amount of gold and silver, I'm really sorry for the reputation of Shen Gong's family." Xu Jingming secretly said.

Mr. Shen, is it scary?

As a citizen of the universe, would you be afraid?

"When will I be able to save 10,000 gold? Well, don't be in a hurry! Stop arrogance and impetuosity, be down-to-earth, and work hard to save money slowly." Xu Jingming thought to himself, and left in a flash.
