Eternal Life: I'm Grinding Experience in the Patrol Division

After watching these people leave, Zhuang Ren suddenly shook his head and sighed.

"The Xu family is going to be in trouble. I hope it won't disrupt the order in the city."

"Are you talking about Senior Liu?" Song Changming also heard what Liu Dingsheng said before, and he undoubtedly didn't want to let this matter go.

"Yes." Zhuang Ren nodded.

"Why not stop him?" Song Changming asked.

"Not to mention that Brother Liu is a well-known master in the martial arts world. Even if he wants to retire, his martial arts strength will not disappear. He offended so many big families and powerful people in the past, but they couldn't do anything to him.

Even though he is old now, I am not sure that I can stop him.

Not to mention that he has a wide network of contacts. Many powerful people or strong men in the present have received his favors in their early years.

As long as he speaks, I am afraid that many people will help him deal with the Xu family in the county city. He doesn't even need to do anything himself.

It is best for us not to interfere in this matter. If you want to blame someone, blame the Xu family themselves. The family tradition is not strict and they offended such a ruthless person." Zhuang Ren explained.

In fact, including himself, he also received favors from Liu Dingsheng in his early years.

He was unwilling to let him deal with Liu Dingsheng.

The martial arts world is not only about fighting and killing, but also about many human relationships.

In this regard, he is the same in the officialdom.

That night, at Xu's house, some masked men quietly left from the side door of the courtyard.

They went to a three-story mansion on Jinxiu Street.

This house was originally the ancestral land of a local family, but because it could not survive the turmoil of the Xiao family, it was confiscated and became an empty house left idle by the government.

Until recently, Liu Dingsheng returned to Donglai County and took a fancy to this mansion.

From then on, this place became Liu's house.

This group of people quietly climbed over the wall and entered the house. Before they could make any moves, several people with strong martial arts suddenly rushed out of the side room in the courtyard and quickly subdued the masked men who had sneaked in.

Torches were lit in the courtyard, and Liu Dingsheng, dressed in plain clothes, walked out slowly from the main room.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Liu Dingsheng asked slowly, looking calm and composed.

"Misunderstanding, all misunderstandings, we are from other places, and we have a grudge with the original Liu family here." The masked man hurriedly explained.

Liu Dingsheng didn't believe a word of it. He didn't even wait for the masked men to finish their words. He called out, "Pry open their mouths as quickly as possible."

"Don't worry, Master Liu, I'm good at it." One of them laughed.

In fact, it didn't take long for Liu Dingsheng to get what he wanted to know.

"This Xu family is really tired of living, Master Liu, I'm going to kill them tonight!" said one person.

Liu Dingsheng didn't refuse, but just chuckled and said, "I wasn't so anxious, but I didn't expect them to be anxious first."

"Then I'll trouble you all."

As soon as these words came out, seven or eight martial arts masters in the courtyard agreed.

"Master Liu, do you want to bring the father and son to you?" One person asked at this time.

"No need." Liu Dingsheng looked in the direction of another courtyard.

"Don't disturb my granddaughter's rest."

Early the next morning, Jinxiu Street, Xu's house.

Song Changming received the news and rushed over with his patrol team.

In the huge Xu's house, not even a single person could be seen overnight.

From the direct descendants of the head of the Xu family to the maids and servants, all disappeared.

If it weren't for the fact that the decorations in the Xu's house were still there, and even the storeroom was locked, with the things inside intact, Song Changming would have thought that the Xu family had fled overnight.

"There are traces of fighting in some courtyard rooms." Liang Zhaolong reported to Song Changming after a search.

"Where are the people? Can't you really find any of them?" Song Changming asked.

"Yes, everyone is gone." Liang Zhaolong confirmed after searching again and again.

"Let someone ask other residents on this street what happened last night, and send people to search the nearby alleys to see if they can find other clues." Song Changming ordered.

Liang Zhaolong agreed and left in a hurry.

"This revenge is too fast, shouldn't revenge be taken overnight?" Song Changming walked alone in the courtyard of the Xu's house, muttering to himself.

Looking around, the entire Xu's house couldn't be quieter.

The air was still filled with a faint smell of blood, and occasionally some knife marks and sword marks could be found, as well as traces of floor tiles being broken.

Combined with what happened yesterday, it was hard for him not to think that the disappearance of the Xu family overnight had nothing to do with the chivalrous thief Liu Dingsheng.

To be able to do this in just one night, the means of this old Jianghu senior were too powerful.

Not long after, Zhuang Ren also got the news, and he went straight to Xu's house without even having time to go to the headquarters.

Song Changming roughly explained the situation here, and Zhuang Ren also concluded that this must be the work of his old acquaintance, Liu Dingsheng!

"Looking at the entire county city, he is the only one I can think of who can make the Xu family disappear overnight without anyone noticing." Zhuang Ren frowned.

Song Changming saw that Zhuang Ren didn't seem so surprised, as if he had been mentally prepared before, and even after listening to his report, he was slightly relieved and seemed to be quite satisfied with the result.

After all, apart from the disappearance of the Xu family, Liu Dingsheng did not cause much trouble in the city as he said.

"Except for the disappearance of the people, the things inside and outside the house are still there, including the money in the Xu family's warehouse." Song Changming said, and handed the warehouse keychain he found to Zhuang Ren.

This matter has a big impact. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he did not touch the things in the Xu family before Zhuang Ren came.

"This is what Brother Liu left on purpose, indicating that he only wants people. All the money and materials of the Xu family are handed over to us, which is considered a benefit for our government." Zhuang Ren said.

The assets of the entire Xu family must be not a small amount, which is equivalent to the other party using them to bribe the government, so that the government will turn a blind eye to this matter and let it go.

"Recently, the county governor has been in a state of financial deficit because of filling military expenses. This money is still quite useful. I think this incident should be reduced to a small size in the future."

Zhuang Ren predicted the reaction of the county governor's office. After getting this benefit, most of them will accept this tacit transaction.

In Song Changming's view, Liu Dingsheng and the government are like two tigers and wolves, biting each other's needs in a tacit understanding.

As for the Xu family, it can only be said that if they don't commit suicide, they will die.

"Sir, we found a lot of servants and maids of the Xu family in the city. It seems that they were the only ones who escaped last night." Liang Zhaolong said.

"Take them back for interrogation. In addition, make a list of all the things in the Xu family as soon as possible. I will ask my guards to come and help." Zhuang Ren ordered.

Song Changming nodded in agreement.

For such a large Xu family, just counting and moving all the objects is a tedious project.

The patrol guards counted for nearly two days before completing the work, and then transported the boxes to the county governor's office.

Afterwards, Song Changming and other patrol guards were asked to keep the matter to themselves and not to spread it.

And this time, all of them received a considerable amount of hush money.

During the process, even though Song Changming did not do anything and just maintained the scene, he received a full 500 silver!

Song Changming didn't know how much his general director made from it, but he must have made a lot of money.

From patrol guards to county governors, everyone was quite satisfied with this wave of wealth.

Song Changming was no exception. The 500 silver coins he received were like timely rain for him.

In the past year or so, his rapid progress in physical training was due to the fact that a large amount of his savings had been squandered.

Just buying wild ginseng and chalcedony in the fishing market, he spent more than thousands of silver coins!

Even if the profits from Song's father's green water silkworms gradually increased, it was difficult to meet the money he needed for physical training.

There was no other way. The martial arts resources required to practice four physical training skills at full speed far exceeded those of a physical training warrior who specialized in one.

In addition, he was now at the highest level of physical training in the sixth realm, and the effect of ordinary quality medicinal materials was getting worse and worse for him.

Take the wild ginseng he bought once a month, for example, even if he could make do with it, it would need to be at least 40 years old.

If you want to pursue the efficiency of body refining, the best is the wild ginseng of 60 or 80 years old. The market price of each plant is at least more than 100 silvers, and the market price of 80-year-old ginseng is more than 300 silvers.

Not to mention the 100-year-old ginseng, which is absolutely a rare martial arts material. Song Changming had the honor to experience it once before, and he never tried it again.

The thing is good, but one plant costs 1,000 silvers, which makes it difficult for him to continue.

The same is true for the other three body refining skills. The higher the realm, the more powerful high-quality medicinal materials are needed to maintain the efficiency of body refining.

Therefore, even if the 500 silvers are obtained, it can only barely sustain his martial arts training for three or two months.

In fact, he is not the only one who is troubled by insufficient financial resources.

Looking around, there are too many martial artists in the entire martial arts world.

Even though they have good innate training qualifications, they are delayed in martial arts training due to the shortage of training materials, resulting in a lifetime of wasted time, and ultimately they cannot go further in martial arts and gain more achievements.

Such regrets are everywhere.

In comparison, Song Changming's current situation is actually quite good, although he was born in a grassroots farmer's family and his starting point is really not high.

But fortunately, he seized the opportunity, and now at least he still has an official position, backed by the government, eating official food, and has a stable source of income, which is much better than most martial artists in the martial arts world.
