The Black Book

For example, Li Lin's father, the previous generation [Pingyang Earl], was a sixth-rank warrior, but his official position was fifth-rank.

So he was a sixth-rank official in official documents, but a fifth-rank in name only.

It means that he has the strength of a sixth-rank official and controls the authority of a fifth-rank official.

And Li Lin, he is a lonely eighth-rank official, and the subtext is that he has not even entered the rank, but controls the real power of the eighth-rank official.

But in this world that advocates personal power, this kind of vanity is also a kind of public punishment in a sense.

Without corresponding strength, you dare not speak loudly, let alone suppress others, and you can only sit at the table with children for dinner!

So, Li Lin nominally controls the Anti-Theft Department of a market town, with hundreds of people under his command, but none of these old hands take him seriously.

Those who are more particular only pretend to obey, while those who are not particular directly sing the opposite tune in public, making him unable to get off the stage, but he has no way to deal with it.

After a while, Li Lin, the good-for-nothing, was unwilling to come to "work". Except for the monthly salary payment day, he was basically in a state of being an empty salary.

Looking at the solemn and majestic plaque of the [Anti-Theft Department], Zhu Haomiao couldn't help but slightly curl up his lips.

Li Lin can't control people, what does it have to do with me, little Zhu Zhu?

Besides, the [Anti-Theft Department] is equivalent to a combination of modern public security and armed police. In Li Lin's eyes, it may be a life-threatening hard job, but in his eyes, it is a tailor-made beautiful job.

He can't wait to get some fries, no, to uphold justice for the people and bring peace and prosperity to [Lechangfang]!

After tidying up his clothes, Zhu Haomiao tightened his expression and let [arrogance] flood his heart, and his personality gradually changed subtly.

Then, the boy took a step and crossed the threshold of the [Anti-Theft Department] as if no one was around, which immediately attracted attention.

"Why is this idiot here again?"

"Isn't it still a few days before the salary is paid?"

"Damn it, I hope he knows better and doesn't mess around."

…………

Hearing the faint discussions around him, Zhu Haomiao walked straight into the lobby with a cold look in his eyes and a calm heart.

In the wide and solemn hall, a group of people were busy working, and a man in his thirties with a well-proportioned figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes sat in the main seat.

Seeing the figure of the young man walking over, a trace of surprise flashed in the man's eyes.

"Inspector Li, why are you here?"

Zhu Haomiao did not answer, but walked up to him and looked at him with a smile.

The man inexplicably sensed something was wrong, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly woke up and quickly stood up to give up his seat.

"Inspector Li, you have been away for a long time, I am just sitting in the hall for you, please don't blame me."

The man saluted with his fists, but there was not much apology in his words, and it was full of perfunctory.

The people around him looked at the boy coldly, not even bothering to be perfunctory.

Zhu Haomiao did not investigate further, but just sat leisurely in the main seat representing the patrol inspector, looking at the man with interest.

Silently, an invisible sense of oppression enveloped the hall, and the solemn atmosphere made the man feel a little suffocated!

The man looked at Zhu Haomiao in disbelief, his eyes full of surprise and suspicion.

Damn it!

He had only felt this kind of imposing aura from the bigwigs of the [General Office]!

Da Da Da~

His fingers tapped on the table with a rhythmic crisp sound, and Zhu Haomiao spoke gently and unhurriedly.

"Captain Yan, you can only sit in this patrol inspector's position if I let you sit, I won't let you..."

While murmured leisurely, Zhu Haomiao looked at Yan Yunsheng, whose face changed drastically, leaned forward slightly, and stared at his eyes without blinking.

"You should know the hierarchy and not to overstep your bounds, understand?"

Instantly, everyone in the hall glared at the young man, and several people even slammed the table and stood up.

But Yan Yunsheng, who was facing Zhu Haomiao, suddenly waved his hand to stop his subordinates' actions.

Somehow, he had already noticed that the "Li Lin" opposite him seemed to have undergone some earth-shattering changes. Before he understood the situation, he did not want to have a direct conflict with the other party.

Courteously clasping his fists, Yan Yunsheng bowed his head respectfully.

"The inspector has taught me a lesson, and I know my crime."

"Well, it's good to know your mistakes."

In the murderous eyes of his subordinates, Zhu Haomiao raised the corners of his mouth and whispered leisurely.

"But I am a kind person, so I won't punish you. In addition... I can give you another chance..."

At this point, the young man looked into Yan Yunsheng's eyes and nodded at the table in front of him.

"Don't you want this position as an inspector?"

"If you beat me, I'll give it to you."

When these words came out, everyone in the hall was stunned. Before, they thought this guy was extremely arrogant, but now they began to seriously think whether this guy was mentally ill.

You are a weak and useless person, fighting against an eighth-grade warrior trained in actual combat?

But just as everyone looked at him in disbelief, Zhu Haomiao stood up with a majestic demeanor, looked around, and smiled.

"My family has military honors for generations. You don't think I'm really weak, do you?"

Hearing this, everyone was suddenly shocked, and their eyes looking at Zhu Haomiao became a little hesitant.

Thinking carefully, they seemed to have never seen this guy take action, but just heard that he was a waste.

In addition to his timid and cowardly character, everyone gradually developed an attitude of looking down on him.

And today, this guy seemed to have changed into a different person, changing his previous submissiveness and showing an aggressive and strong character.

Did he pretend before? !

An absurd thought flashed through his mind. In the suspicious and scrutinizing eyes of the crowd, Zhu Haomiao took a step and passed by Yan Yunsheng without looking sideways.

"Follow me."

The unquestionable overbearing order made Yan Yunsheng frown, and a trace of uneasiness rose in his heart.

Without strength, a normal person can't develop such momentum, unless he is a psychopath!

"Dadutou..."

The voice of his subordinates came to his ears, and Yan Yunsheng raised his hand and waved, interrupting their questions.

"It is natural for the patrol inspector to test his subordinates. There is no need to make a fuss."

Hearing this, everyone's facial features wrinkled into a ball, and their mouths were pursed in a wordless way.

It should be like this, but his own patrol inspector was not ranked at all, so where did he get the confidence to test an eighth-rank warrior?

Is it really like he said, with a family background, and he has been hiding his shortcomings?

With curiosity and suspicion, everyone followed Yan Yunsheng to the martial arts field in the backyard.

As the news spread, all the duty officers of the [Anti-Theft Division] rushed over to see what the arrogant young man was doing.

However, when everyone saw the young man standing in the middle of the martial arts arena, his figure was not tall and sturdy, but he had a solemn and majestic demeanor.

In a trance, it seemed that the person standing in front of them was not a weak and useless person, but a super-class grandmaster who looked down on the world!

The arrogance that came from his bones and looked down on everyone equally made people angry, but also a little awed.
