Jinxiu Street, Xiao Mansion.

"Third Master, the night ghost has been caught." An old servant bowed and reported to the person in front of him.

"Who caught it?" Xiao Yanli shook his landscape folding fan, looked at the scenery of the back garden, and asked lightly without turning around.

"It was a patrol captain in the Houli Street Patrol Armor Division." The old servant said immediately.

"How could a patrol captain in a mere district catch the night ghost?" Xiao Yanli heard this and turned slightly to look at the old servant, puzzled.

"The old servant has checked this matter, and it is indeed the case. It was done by a patrol captain who is only 20 years old." The old servant continued.

"A 20-year-old patrol captain?" Xiao Yanli's face was a little more curious.

A 20-year-old patrol captain, plus the capture of a night ghost, these two things together are indeed enough to arouse his interest.

"Yes, this man's surname is Song, his name is Changming, he used to live in the Baiyi District, and he first worked as a fire watchman in the Houli Street Patrol Division for a year.

After that, he killed Chen Beihu, the bandit leader of Tengya Mountain, on the street, so he was promoted to patrol guard. After that, he made many achievements, and coincided with the appointment of the new director. He had a close relationship with the new director, so he was promoted to patrol guard chief."

The old servant had checked Song Changming's past records in the Patrol Division early, and now he told his young master one by one.

"Not bad personal strength, can still take the opportunity that falls from the sky, plus he is so young, he is a promising talent, old man, you go and arrange it, I want to see him."

Xiao Yanli put away his folding fan with a snap, smiled lightly, and his eyes fell on the garden scenery again.

"Yes, I will arrange it." The old servant agreed and turned away.

The next day, the news of the capture of the big thief Night Walker was not widely spread in the city.

Ordinary people would celebrate the destruction of Jiuqu Society, because they were often oppressed by Jiuqu Society in the past, and this matter was closely related to them.

But they were idle and would not pay too much attention to a big thief they had never seen, even if the thief was famous enough and his crimes were unforgivable.

Only some people in the underworld and the government would pay attention to this matter, and Song Changming also entered the vision of this small group of people.

Outside the Patrol Guard Department, the carriage stopped.

Liang Chuanshan, dressed in a neat black official uniform and hat, hurriedly got off the carriage and walked into the Patrol Armor Department.

In the small courtyard, Song Changming, as usual, performed light body skills and practiced swordsmanship, taking two approaches at the same time.

"Song Weichang, the director is looking for you." A patrol guard suddenly came and said to Song Changming.

"I know." Song Changming stopped practicing swordsmanship and nodded.

You don't have to guess that Liang Chuanshan is looking for him now, mostly because of the night ghost Sun Meng caught yesterday.

Now the night ghost has been taken to the prison. If nothing unexpected happens, he will most likely be beheaded for his crimes, and there is almost no room for turning back.

In the main hall, Liang Chuanshan looked out the window with his hands behind his back, as if he was waiting for Song Changming.

It was not until Song Changming pushed the door in that he said, "I didn't expect that the night ghost that so many people were helpless against would end up in the prison of our patrol division!"

"How did you catch it?"

"It was a bit of a coincidence that day." Song Changming briefly described the situation that day.

"Anyway, this is definitely a great achievement. Because of this matter, the third son of the Xiao family wants to see you." Liang Chuanshan said.

"Why does the third son want to see me?" Song Changming was a little puzzled.

"I heard that this night ghost is so bold that he once robbed the third son's things. You caught the night ghost, which can be regarded as helping the third son."

Liang Chuanshan explained briefly and walked out with Song Changming.

The carriage had already stopped outside the patrol station and was waiting.

Following Liang Chuanshan on the carriage, Song Changming saw an old man in a long gown with wide sleeves sitting inside.

"This must be Chief Song." The old man smiled gently and bowed to Song Changming.

"Hello, old man." Song Changming also bowed in return.

On the way here, Liang Chuanshan mentioned this man's identity to him.

Although he did not hold an official position, he was one of the stewards of the Xiao family and served Xiao Yanli for many years.

Even Liang Chuanshan, the director, had to be polite when he met this old servant.

"You are really young and promising, and you are a handsome man." Xiao Gu smiled and nodded.

"You are too kind." Song Changming said modestly.

In the carriage, the old servant did not say much, but just exchanged a few polite words with Song Changming and Liang Chuanshan.

The carriage went smoothly all the way and soon arrived outside the Xiao Mansion on Jinxiu Street.

The huge Xiao Mansion is surrounded by high walls, with red doors and golden plaques, and four majestic stone lions.

In terms of scale, this Xiao Mansion is probably larger than their entire patrol division.

Song Changming followed Xiao Gu out of the carriage and walked into the Xiao Mansion, while Liang Chuanshan stayed in the carriage waiting.

Along the way, there were pavilions, waterside pavilions, strange stones and flowers, gurgling water, and lush greenery.

It was as if bricks and tiles were laid in a huge garden, and pavilions and towers were built.

As for the scenery of the mansion, it was absolutely magnificent.

After Song Changming entered the Xiao Mansion, he realized what a real wealthy family and the place where the children of the family lived looked like. It was really eye-opening.

Such a large mansion would not feel too much even if it could support more than a thousand people.

I don’t know which garden Song Changming entered before he reached the place.

A large platform surrounded by water, with four pavilions located on it, and an open space in the middle, with many weapon racks.

"This is the place where Third Young Master usually practices martial arts. He will be here at this hour." Xiao Gu led Song Changming to the side and whispered.

Song Changming looked from a distance, and in the center of the large platform, the Third Young Master Xiao Yanli, whom he had met at an academic exchange meeting before, was there.

He was holding a long sword and fighting with two generals.

Even with one against two, he still seemed to be at ease.

There was also a row of generals standing nearby to watch. It was obvious that they were all the third young master's training partners today.

The two of them waited quietly without disturbing them.

It wasn't until Third Young Master finished his sword practice that any servant went to report it.

The third young master wiped the sweat on his face and looked sideways at Xiao Gu and Song Changming who were waiting in the distance.

"Let him come over."

After receiving the agreement, Xiao Gucai made a gesture of invitation to Song Changming.

"Song Wei has been kept waiting for a long time."

"It should be." Song Changming replied calmly, followed into the platform, saw the third son of the Xiao family, and bowed his hands.

"I have seen your past resume. Although you have only been a patrolman for a short time, you have made countless achievements, big and small. You are also quite outstanding among the patrol chiefs in various cities.

Especially the night ghost you captured yesterday, it can be regarded as venting my bad temper on my behalf. I believe it is not just me, but also many other dignitaries in the city, so they noticed you. "

Xiao Yanli said this and spoke highly of the young guard captain in front of him who was younger than him.

With his status and vision, there are not many people who can be praised like this.

"I have a heartfelt request." After praising Song Changming, Xiao Yanli suddenly changed the subject.

"Please tell me." Song Changming said seriously.

"I heard that you are very skilled in swordsmanship. I happen to have a few good swordsmen here. If possible, can we learn from each other?" Xiao Yanli made a request.

It was obvious that he just wanted to see with his own eyes how powerful Song Changming was.

One is curiosity, but also wants to confirm.
