Chapter Twenty-Six: The Bitter Days of Being a Guard
Zhong Hou, the big dark horse, finally won the first place in this escort selection competition with a complete victory.
In addition to congratulating Zhong Hou, everyone was even more curious about the secret on his body.
Some people have wondered if Zhong Hou has taken some healing pills or recovery pills, otherwise how could the recovery speed be so ungodly.
But this idea quickly disappeared from everyone's minds, because every pill was extremely precious, and if Zhong Hou had the ability to buy this pill, it would be absolutely impossible for him to compete for the position of a small Situ family's guard.
In any case, after more than half a month, the Situ Family Guard Selection Contest has officially ended, and the prizes will be awarded at the inauguration ceremony of the internal guards five days later.
Five days to deal with the personal affairs of all the contestants who have successfully become escorts.
After five days, these people will be living in Situ's house forever. Except for two days of vacation a month, they must perform guard duties at other times and are not allowed to leave their posts without permission.
Despite this, the benefits of the Situ family have been calculated, and for other families, there is not even a day of vacation.
Whether it is an internal guard, an external guard or a brocade guard, they are all on duty around the clock, in addition to performing their job responsibilities, they will occasionally receive temporary tasks from their superiors. If there is a slight mistake, it is not as simple as being expelled, the family rules of the Situ family are very strict.
At the end of the game, Zhong Hou's mind suddenly relaxed, and he returned to his residence and fell asleep.
It's not physically tired, it's mentally tired.
Zhong Hou would come back every day to report the results, so Fu Bo was not very worried about Zhong Hou's state at this time. He smiled with relief, covered Zhong Hou with a quilt, and closed the door before leaving.
Zhong Hou can be promoted from a handyman to a guard, and from a father's point of view, the work is smooth and the future is bright, and Fu Bo has no reason to be unhappy.
Zhong Hou's biological father can also smile at Jiuquan, and he is also worthy of Uncle Zhou's entrustment.
It's just that Fu Bo doesn't know that Zhong Hou is not here at all. Even if he participated in the selection of guards this time, it was only for the quota to enter the library building.
If he is allowed to be a guard for the rest of his life, Zhong Hou will not do it.
However, Zhong Hou would not have told Fu Bo these thoughts before, and he would not say them in the future, so let Fu Bo be an ordinary person with peace of mind.
The outside world, Fauber still don't touch as well.
This night, Zhong Hou slept for a day and a night.
When he woke up the next day, Zhong Hou found that his strength had increased significantly, and at this time he was already in the third-level realm of the day after tomorrow.
And it's only been a month since he last broke through.
The unexpected breakthrough surprised Zhong Hou, who originally expected the next breakthrough to be two months away at the earliest.
After thinking about it, Zhong Hou already understood.
The flowers in the greenhouse can't withstand the wind and rain, and the closed door can't make a person grow quickly. Only by going through battle after battle, in the midst of blood and sweat, can he break through himself quickly.
As soon as the thought came to him, a seed had already taken root in his heart. Therefore, Zhong Hou decided to enter the library building, and after finding the information he wanted, he began to go out to practice.
As for the position of a guard, it cannot be more important than avenging the murder of his father.
And another reason why Zhong Hou decided to go out is that the people behind Sister Hong did not design to frame them in the semifinals and finals.
I don't know if the other party decided to give up, or if there was another conspiracy.
If the two sides meet head-on, even if the other party's cultivation is higher than his own, even if he is invincible, he will not be afraid at all. But the other party didn't know when to give himself a knife in the back, which made Zhong Hou feel like a fish in the throat, which was very uncomfortable.
Last time, I had the help of Detective Situ to clear my suspicion, and it is difficult to say whether my luck will be so good next time.
There is only a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days.
Zhong Hou felt that the other party was too mysterious and he couldn't afford to provoke him, so he could only hide.
Five days passed in a blink of an eye, and the inauguration ceremony of the new escort was held as scheduled.
The 500 contestants who fought to the death not long ago have become colleagues and even brothers in life and death in the future.
It was still the spacious martial arts training ground, but the examiners of the day were gone, replaced by a middle-aged man wearing leather armor and a full beard.
This man was the captain of the Internal Guard.
He didn't say a lot of warm welcome, and he didn't look like an orator, so he briefly introduced the duties and precautions of the internal guard, and then announced the dissolution after the reward was issued.
The duties of the internal guard are simple, responsible for the normal operation of Anyang City.
These include guarding the city gates, inspecting pedestrians and merchants, seeing if there are any spies infiltrating, and seeing if there are some lawbreakers who intend to plot against Anyang City or the Situ family.
Of course, if such a thing really happens, there is nothing they can do about it. It's okay for them to face some small thieves, but if they really want to meet a master, they can only die.
Therefore, what they really have to do is to collect taxes and maintain law and order in Anyang City.
The tax collection includes the business tax of merchants in the city and the entry tax of pedestrians and business travelers.
The content of maintaining law and order includes many aspects, such as investigating various criminal cases, chasing down criminal suspects in various cases, dealing with the phenomenon of disorderly vending in the main streets of Anyang City, handling various civil disputes, regularly inspecting all kinds of businesses for tax evasion, and regularly checking the household registration of the permanent population.
It integrates the modern version of police, urban management, industry and commerce, taxation and street office.
Therefore, the guards who have just entered the Internal Guard, in addition to performing tasks and cultivating, also need to regularly learn how to deal with the above affairs.
Today is your first day on the job, starting with the assignment of accommodation, followed by a three-day pre-job training.
Three days later, Zhong Hou completely collapsed, knowing that he would have to do so many trivial things as a guard, he would not come.
Even though his salary is now a hundred times higher than when he was a handyman, he would rather go backwards now, as long as the internal guard is willing to let him go, he is willing to go back and continue to work as a small handyman.
Of course, the wishes are good, and the reality is cruel.
Now only the three mortal tiger blood pills in his hand can give him a little comfort.
As for Zhong Hou's ultimate goal of this selection competition, the library building...
Of course, the promise given by the Situ family will not be reversed, and Zhong Hou can enter the library at any time with a special token in his hand.
However, internal guards only have two days off a month, and they are not allowed to leave their posts without permission during their work. So Zhong Hou wanted to go to the library building, but he could only wait until his vacation.
However, now that only three days have passed, he is close to collapse, and there is still more than half a month before the holiday, and Zhong Hou is not sure if he will go crazy before the vacation.
In the following days, as Zhong Hou expected, there were no small things in Anyang City.
Today, the third aunt lost a chicken, tomorrow the dog of the sixth aunt's family died inexplicably, and the day after tomorrow, Uncle Li's urinal was gone, and the most serious thing was that Liu Er peeped at the widow Chen next to her and took a bath and was stolen on the spot.
With the care of Detective Situ, Zhong Hou naturally went to his subordinates on an errand, and Zhong Hou once again saw the prestige of Detective.
It only took half an hour for the third aunt to find the real culprit, and it turned out that her own son's friend colluded with his son to do it.
It only took an hour for the dog of the sixth aunt to find out the cause of death, and it turned out that he had mistakenly eaten food containing rat poison.
As for Uncle Li's urinal, he accidentally kicked it under the bed, and even he forgot when it happened.
In this regard, Detective Situ also took great pains to explain the details of each case to Zhong Hou, how to find the key points to solve the case, how to deduce the truth of the matter from the key points, and how to judge the truth of the confession from the demeanor and tone of the parties.
Although Zhong Hou was close to the edge of madness, every word of Detective Situ was imprinted in his mind. And all this has a profound impact on Zhong Hou in the future.
