Episode 1 Martial Arts Master Chapter 71 Wait and see
"Is there anything else?" Shen Zhimo's voice was no longer as gentle as before. He didn't want to stay at the crime scene for too long.
"Uh, uh, it's like this..." Mrs. Clifford glanced at Chad who was exhausted but unable to speak, and said, "He made an impolite move just now. It was you who gave me a helping hand to relieve my predicament.
I would like to express my great gratitude to you. There will be a banquet at my house tonight, and I would like to invite you to attend."
Shen Zhimo thought of Zhi Luo Tilin's words and couldn't refuse immediately. He said perfunctorily: "If I have time, I will go." She actually took the initiative to invite a stranger to the banquet. This kind of woman was too bold. Besides, she was dressed in
In that way, even the cleavage is exposed, which is really shameless. However, the ravine has round lines, graceful arcs, and amazing depth, and it is really attractive and tight.
Mrs. Clifford took out a moon-white invitation exuding the fragrance of jasmine from the small handbag she carried and handed it over. She smiled and said: "The time and place are all in it. Please be sure to be there. I deeply look forward to your visit."
He carried an invitation with him, indicating that the banquet had been planned for some time. He had just met two other ladies, so he might have been inviting them to the banquet.
Shen Zhimo took it without looking at it, stuffed it into his trouser pocket and said, "Well, it depends on the situation."
"May I ask for your name? If it's convenient, I can send a car to pick you up in the evening."
"My name is Saga, a blacksmith who lives on Rose Street. I'm going to take my leave first."
Shen Zhimo stopped talking to her and strode forward. Aubrey held the attendant in his left hand and dragged Chad with his right hand. He glanced back in a hurry and said, "Mr. Saga, Mrs. Clifford seems to be interested in you."
, she is still looking at you!"
"Nonsense, after all, I am a handsome young man. You women are really open-minded. Are you not afraid of others laughing when you dress like that?"
"Sir, that is the standard dress for aristocratic women. There is nothing wrong with it. If you wear anything else, it will be considered rude."
Shen Zhimo's eyes almost popped out of his sockets: "What? Standard dress? Fuck, your country's customs are so lascivious and extravagant. If you want to leave her in our place, she has to be dipped in a pig cage."
Aubrey didn't dare to say anything and cursed in his heart: "He is indeed a barbarian."
Magni's vehicle was already waiting on the outskirts of the road. The carriage was rented directly from the car dealership. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, the coachman was not even hired. Magni sat impatiently in the front, drinking heavily.
"Sir, do you think that if these two knights disappear and the military police investigate and they use some coercion and inducement methods, will Mrs. Clifford testify against us? Women can't keep secrets and are not reliable."
Shen Zhimo thought about it and was right. He acted too hastily. The right thing to do is to follow Chad and wait until he was alone. After all, he still lacked experience. However, he would not attack innocent people, so he could only shake his head and say: "Just treat it as such."
It's a gamble, but I think this Chad is too rude. She has a grudge in her heart, so she won't say it. She will just treat it as an anecdote and tell it to her close friends. In this way, our Dark Sunflower Club will
The reputation has spread."
After thinking for a while, he muttered: "In order to prevent this from happening, I think it's better to go to the banquet and explain to her in detail what this villain deserves, so that she can understand the truth and make emotional investment. For the time being,
Win her over."
Aubrey said sourly: "Mrs. Clifford is a widow. Don't invest in bed with her, otherwise it will cause public outrage."
"I am strict about self-cultivation, how can you be so malicious in speculating on my purpose? Humph, that woman has a beautiful face, and you can tell she is a slut at a glance. I am here to educate her."
Back at the tavern, the boss saw them dragging two sacks in. He thought they were good things and asked with a smile: "Mr. Saga, what kind of treasure did you get back?"
"Oh, the justice and justice of the Holy Light are within."
The boss just said that he didn't want to say anything, didn't dare to ask more questions, and walked away with a smile.
Aubrey asked in a low voice: "Boss, how do we dispose of the body?"
"It's better to throw them on the street and show them to the public, and send pharmacists and others to spread rumors that these two people are full of evil and have been sanctioned by the Holy Light. By the way, mentioning the name of our Dark Sunflower Society will have a strong deterrent effect and make those people
The common people have a vague idea that there is a force that is upholding justice for them, but they cannot publicize it too much."
Shen Zhimo dropped the words and rushed to the official residence of the Thorn Bird City District Administrative Officer alone.
The area of this urban area is not large, with only four streets and more than a dozen alleys. The population is not large, about 30,000, but the four parties are competing fiercely because of its unique geographical location. Thorn Bird City is located in the south of the city.
, has the famous Flower Street, Liuxiang and Chunshui Road, known as the "Singing and Dancing Street". The two-kilometer section is home to more than 400 brothels, pubs and bathhouses, which is so flashy. More importantly, the two urban districts to its left and right belong to
The prime minister's men govern the city, and the upper and lower districts belong to the generalissimo's sphere of influence. Whoever can capture the Thorn Bird District will be able to connect their own parts and block the other party's expansion.
The street was very quiet. I originally imagined that due to the huge profits from Chunshui Road, the official residence of the political affairs officer must be amazingly luxurious. But when Shen Zhimo stood at the door, he thought he was in a slum. In front of him was a two-story dilapidated attic with a decaying door.
, the iron nails were rusty, but the handles were extremely shiny after being touched. The stained glass on the windows had long since become fragments, and the open wooden windows on the second floor were shaky and might fall at any time. The roots of the walls were covered with moss, and there were paintings on the sunny walls.
It is full of various drawings, some of which are skeletons and some of sexual intercourse scenes. The styles are not uniform. I think it was deliberately drawn by a prankster, and it cannot be erased.
A dozing guard stood at the door. The hot temperature made him look very uncomfortable and he could not sleep peacefully. Because the interests of the four forces were involved, no ordinary civilian dared to go into trouble. Those who actually participated in the recruitment of the Sheriff
For their own people, the quota has been predetermined, so there is no need to sign up, so the place is as deserted as ever.
The guard woke up immediately when he heard the footsteps, held the sword at his waist and asked sternly: "Hey, what are you here for?"
Shen Zhimo shook his head secretly. The duty of the political officer is to handle civil affairs. If ordinary people have disputes and conflicts, other than the religious inquisition, the local political officer has the power to deal with them. This guard is so vicious that the civilians will not be able to see the political officer even if something happens.
.
"Didn't there be a notice posted a few days ago? The Thorn Bird City District is recruiting public security management officers from the whole society, and I was about to sign up."
The guard laughed contemptuously, looked him up and down, touched his chin and said, "Do you know where this place is?"
"Where else could this be if it wasn't the Government Affairs Hall? Doesn't the notice clearly say that we come here to sign up?"
"Now that you know it, why don't you get out of here? People like you also want to sign up? Are you kidding me? Which of the names on the roster is not a famous warrior or an army commander? Can you compare with them?"
Shen Zhimo took out a handful of silver dollars and stuffed it into it, and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't necessarily want to be a sheriff, but I want to see the world and take this opportunity to get to know some heroes."
"Fuck, why didn't you tell me earlier?" The guard hurriedly put away the silver coins and said with a smile: "Mr. Vernal is on the second floor. The stairs turn left. Be careful not to disturb other staff."
When Shen Zhimo saw this, he cursed in his heart: "They are all a bunch of grandsons who regard money as their grandfather. I don't have the time to compete with you. If it had been the temper I had two years ago, I would have beaten you to pieces."
The second floor is a hall. The draft blows slowly through the hall. It feels pleasant and is a good place to take a nap. Go up two steps and there is a large table filled with documents in the middle. There are portraits of the emperor and the pope hanging on the wall behind. A man is sitting on the hall.
The man raised his head and looked: "Oh? Didn't I tell you not to let those lower-class civilians in? What are you here for?" His attitude was very arrogant and rude.
Shen Zhimo remained calm, found a chair, sat down, crossed his legs and said, "I'm here to sign up for the selection of the Sheriff."
Vernal picked up the quill and dipped it in ink, and continued writing on the document, "Really? Who is your introducer?"
"I don't have an introducer, what's wrong? The notice didn't say that I need an introducer to sign up."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Vernal's mouth: "No introducer? That's great. The registration fee is ten silver dollars. Come fill out the form and you're good to go."
Shen Zhimo said honestly: "Sorry, I can't write."
"Can't write? Do you know how many things the Sheriff has to deal with? How many documents are reviewed every day? Stop being annoying and get out of here, or I will ask the guards to throw you out."
A "click" sound and a heavy bag of silver coins quickly silenced the administrative officer. Shen Zhimo changed to a more comfortable sitting position and said, "This is the registration fee. Can I register?"
Hearing the sound of falling and visually checking the size of the purse, it was at least a hundred. Vernal immediately laughed: "Of course, oh, by the way, where is the household registration certificate and resume, have you brought them? If nothing happens, I will help.
You fill out a form, but whether you can pass the assessment depends on your own efforts." The monthly salary of a government affairs officer is eighty silver dollars. National government affairs and taxation are separated. In daily management of the city, apart from the contribution of shops and workshops, there are not many benefits. A small
It is enough for a young person to sign up in exchange for one month's salary, and he will not be allowed to pass the assessment in the future anyway.
Shen Zhimo threw the forged household registration and military resume, and Vernal opened it and looked at it and said: "Mr. Saga, well, you are twenty-five years old this year. You once served as the deputy captain of the Sharp Lion Cavalry. You were discharged from the army last year due to personal reasons.
There are no bad records. Then you wait for the assessment notice, and we will send a postman to deliver the notice the day before. The assessment mainly covers two contents, one, knowledge of military affairs and government affairs management, and two, personal physical ability. To be honest with you,
Physical condition is more important than knowledge. If you are at the level of an ordinary swordsman or knight, you will at least have a good chance."
"Then I'll wait and see." Shen Zhimo couldn't stay long, so he said goodbye and went out, thinking: "If I don't choose, sooner or later I will ask you to spit out ten times the hundred yuan."
