At dawn the next day, Lin Jiu and Shao Lin had left in a hurry.

Jiang Chen also returned to his old life, he walked around when he had nothing to do on weekdays, and his small life was very comfortable, until three days later, the county magistrate finally came back and summoned everyone over.

The county commander was an old man in good spirits, and he was watching everyone silently at this time, and it was not until a moment later that he slowly spoke.

"The top of the board already knows about it, and you've worked hard."

"Each person will be credited once, and the reward will be twenty taels of silver, and the amount will be doubled."

"Jiang Chen has made the greatest contribution to this trip, and I announce that Jiang Chen has been promoted to the chief catcher of the Yamen."

After the county order finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Chen with deep meaning in his eyes, Lin Jiu had also reported Jiang Chen's merits, and he could naturally understand what it meant to have such strength at such a young age.

When the others heard the reward of the county order, they couldn't help but show their heat, twenty taels of silver could be enough to improve their lives, and they could also have some spare money to buy medicinal soup for practice.

After returning from Hutouling, everyone became more and more aware of the importance of martial arts, and they were not as slack in their practice as before.

At the same time, he also looked at Jiang Chen with envy, good guy, this promotion speed is also fast enough, and he suddenly became their superior.

"My lord, I want to know where the boss has gone." But after Jiang Chen heard the words of the county order, his brows furrowed.

If he wants to take over Zhou Zhan's position, then Zhou Zhan must have something going on, and Jiang Chen needs to take his place.

After the others heard Jiang Chen's words, they reacted one after another.

"yes, why haven't you seen the head until now?"

The county commander waved his hand, and everyone quieted down and looked at him.

"You don't have to ask about Zhou Zhan's affairs, he went on a secret mission and has already left the county."

"Don't ask any more questions, it's confidential."

"In the future, Jiang Chen will be the new patrol leader, if you have anything to do with him."

"Jiang Chen, come to the back hall to find me later."

After the county order was finished, he ignored everyone and left quickly.

Not long after the old man left, everyone reacted one after another and surrounded Jiang Chen.

"Congratulations, Jiang Chen, you are now the patrol leader, and I will call you the head in the future." Zhou Zheng spoke sincerely, Jiang Chen saved him several times, and he was really convinced by Jiang Chen.

"Everyone is laughing, I just found out." Jiang Chen was also a little surprised, he hadn't thought about becoming a patrol head at all.

But after thinking about it, after becoming the patrol leader, he didn't have to go out to perform official duties every day, and he also had more free time to do what he wanted, so Jiang Chen happily accepted it.

In a few days, he will be able to go to the Void Meditation to learn the Five Thunder Fa of the Mountain and Sea Daoists.

"I didn't expect the youngest to become our boss!" Jiang Chen's strength is obvious to all, and naturally no one has an opinion.

Everyone congratulated each other and went out to start their day's work.

"I don't know what the prefectural magistrate is looking for me!" Jiang Chen took one through the hall and walked to the back hall of the yamen.

The back hall of the yamen is a small garden, the small garden is full of green light, and the fresh earthy smell overflowing from the grass makes people feel refreshed and happy.

Jiang Chen strode over, and soon came to the front of an elegant pavilion, in which the county order had been waiting for a long time.

"I've kept you waiting." Jiang Chen hurriedly stepped forward and saluted with a fist.

"No need to be polite, sit down." The county order motioned for Jiang Chen to sit down, Jiang Chen was not hypocritical, walked into the pavilion and sat opposite the county order.

The county magistrate was not in a hurry to speak, and poured Jiang Chen a cup of crystal green tea by himself, as if he sensed that Jiang Chen was about to stop, and the old man said slowly: "If there is anything, let's talk about it after drinking this cup of tea." ”

Jiang Chen nodded, picked up the teacup with both hands, and tasted the cup of thick fragrant tea, the fragrant tea was bitter and sweet, and the warm liquid reached the throat through the tip of the tongue and into the heart and spleen.

The fragrance of tea can't be stopped, like a spring breeze blowing spring water, rippling with ripples.

"Good tea!" Although Jiang Chen doesn't understand tea, he can still taste good tea.

"I know what you want to ask, don't inquire about Zhou Zhan's affairs." The prefectural order said.

"Although I don't know what happened to you, I have to warn you, be careful of those people in the Black Tiger Gang, not all of them are sincere, there are thousands of good things in the world, and we can't take them into our hearts."

"If you don't belong to yourself, you don't have to ask for it, and if you can't get it, you don't have to force it!" The county commander's tone was serious and long.

After Jiang Chen heard this, he was shocked in his heart, and he also realized that he might not be able to hide the old man in front of him from the fact that he became the master of the Black Tiger Gang's Wind Chasing Hall.

"Your Excellency doesn't seem to mind that I'm in a position of authority in the Black Tiger Gang." Jiang Chen asked rhetorically, since the county order knew, Jiang Chen simply didn't have to hide it.

"You're still you, that's enough." The county magistrate glanced at Jiang Chen and took a sip of tea.

"My lord, I have a few questions, and I would like to ask you to answer them." The words in the county commander's mouth made Jiang Chen even more confused, and he desperately wanted to know the answer.

"Tell me about it."

"My lord, I want to know, is it true that the upper authorities can't control the Black Tiger Gang? A small gang can be easily suppressed as long as the top sends people over, but why sit idly by. Jiang Chen stared at the old man and spoke.

Hearing this, the county commander squinted, took another sip of tea, and after a moment of silence, spoke again.

"There are some things that can't just be looked at the surface, the Black Tiger Gang naturally has its meaning of existence, such as having day and night."

"As long as the county can maintain a balanced state, it is the best situation, and the upper authorities do not want to see this balanced situation broken."

"You don't have to mind, you'll understand when the time comes." The words of the county order made Jiang Chen even more confused.

"During this time, I want you to exercise the patrol house, the county is too small, and your continued stay here will only limit your growth."

"I already know that you are going to join the Demon Slaying Alliance, and when the order from above comes, you can go to a larger city." The county commander sighed, stood up and patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder.

"This world is so chaotic, you have to become stronger." After the county order finished speaking, he didn't give Jiang Chen a chance to continue speaking, closed his eyes, and waved Jiang Chen away.

"What the prefectural commander said is, no matter what, I just need to become stronger." Jiang Chen took a deep breath, dispelled the fog in his heart, and simply stopped being entangled.

Jiang Chen walked out of the yamen, looking at the continuous pedestrians on the street, some carrying burdens and hurrying, some driving ox carts to deliver goods, some driving donkeys to pull trucks, and some stopping to watch the scenery of the Bianhe River, he couldn't help but have some yearning in his heart, but soon this thought was dispelled by him.

"In the world of demons, I must become stronger!" Jiang Chen's eyes became more and more determined, and he walked all the way to the confused medicine shop.
