Chapter 111: The Real World
The young Shendu prison official was in pain.
Whoever gets a sword in the stomach will be in pain.
However, what made him feel even more painful was that he could not be worthy of Shangfeng's love and could not go to the fish market to do errands.
He felt bad luck.
"You really think it's luck?"
But just as he was lying in the hospital feeling in pain, a woman walked up to him, and then looked at him and said this indifferently.
He was stunned.
He didn't know the woman at all.
But this woman's eyebrows were extremely beautiful, and he had never seen such a beautiful woman after staying in Changling for so long.
It's just that the woman's expression is a little cold, not the kind of unapproachable cold feeling, but a natural indifference.
This indifference made him feel that even if his wound suddenly worsened now and he died in front of this woman, this woman's complexion would not change in any way.
"You are?"
He stared blankly at the woman, "You know me, we know?"
"I know you, you don't know me. β
The woman looked at him and said, "But you should have heard of me, I am Zheng Sleeve of Jiaodong County." β
"Jiaodong County Zheng Sleeve?"
This young official of the Divine Capital Prison had lost too much blood and had too deep a wound in his abdomen to move at all, but when he heard her words at this time, he almost sat up directly from the bed.
Zheng Sleeve always stood in place, just looking at him indifferently.
The young official of the Divine Capital Prison finally came to his senses, his lips trembled slightly, "You said I thought I was lucky, what do you mean?"
"If you don't be stabbed like this today, you go to the fish market, and the responsibility for the trouble in the fish market and the poor supervision should all be borne by you, or you will be directly expelled from the Shendu Prison and driven to the border army, which will cut off the way to promotion in the future. If you are smart enough, even if you play a bitter trick today, you will find someone to stab you with a sword. Zheng Sleeve stopped looking at him, turned to look at the night outside, and said, "Do you really think that those bosses of yours want to give you some credit?"
"......" The young Shendu prison official looked at her back in a daze, completely speechless.
"Tonight, the night owl people went to the fish market, even if they damaged many shops, the impact in Changling was also bad, and the city guards naturally didn't want to have a bad relationship with the night owls, would they fight with those Jianghu men?
Zheng Sleeve continued without emotion: "Even if according to the usual practice, he will hand over some people to come out, but tonight will definitely make too much trouble, you can't catch a few people, and the Shendu Prison will naturally let you come out to bear the responsibility for this dereliction of duty." β
Although the young Shendu Prison official was upright and naΓ―ve, he was not stupid, and listening to these words, he thought of the kind attitude of those people to him in his daily life, and his originally pale face became even paler.
All-in-one.
Thinking about the words she said when she walked in, he raised his head with some difficulty, and beads of sweat appeared on his chin, "Could it be that you sent someone to stab this sword today?"
"Yes. β
Zheng Sleeve nodded unusually simply, and said, "Send someone to stab you with a sword, and then give you a splendid future, you won't lose." β
The young Shendu prison official breathed sluggishly, his chest was indescribably stuffy, he couldn't breathe, and then he coughed violently.
His body shook and the wound in his abdomen became even more painful.
Waves of sharp pain rushed to his mind, making his mind hot and dizzy.
He looked at the woman in disbelief.
She was only slightly older than him.
This is an age when it is difficult to associate people with conspiracy and power.
It's just that she's a real old man.
Her speech at this time seemed to be no different from those officials in the court who had been high-ranking officials for more than ten or twenty years.
"What the hell do you want to do?"
He coughed for a while, and finally breathed through his breath, and his pale face turned purple.
"I just said that. Zheng Sleeve said calmly: "If you must say it more clearly, it is that I need you to be used by me, and I will let you go away quickly in the Divine Capital." β
If it was someone from Jiaodong County who brought the message in normal times, this young Shendu prison official would not believe it in his heart.
What kind of place is the Divine Capital Prison?
A gatekeeper from a marginal state and county would say such a thing, which is simply a fool's dream.
However, looking at this woman from Jiaodong County today, he didn't think so in his heart.
"If you have the ability to support people to ascend to a high position in the Divine Capital, then why don't you people from Jiaodong County?" he breathed slowly, trying to calm himself.
"The vast majority of people in Jiaodong County are too ambitious and angry. Zheng Sleeve said: "They were born to feel that they must confront the people of Changling, and when they deal with things, they will always be not soft enough, and there will be problems, and people like you are easy to be ignored at the beginning, and few people will think that you are a person from Jiaodong County or Win Wu, and deliberately suppress it." β
"Your background is weak, but for employing people, your background is very good. Zheng Sleeve paused and said, "And you yourself are the kind of person who can use this." β
The young Divine Metropolitan Supervisor felt that what she said might have a point, but he had no such confidence in himself.
"Soon, the attention of the people of the Divine Capital Prison will be in the Prison Division. Zheng Sleeve said: "The more you are ignored, the faster you will climb." β
"The Heavenly Supervisor?"
The young Shendu prison official thought of a certain rumor, and was immediately shocked: "Do you really want to establish a new division?"
Zheng Sleeve turned to look at him.
She had said what she wanted to say, and then it just depended on his attitude.
"If I refuse, am I going to die?" said the young Shendu official suddenly.
Zheng Sleeve nodded, "Your injuries are already very serious, and it's normal to die. β
The young Divine Capital Prison official didn't feel undue fear, he just fell silent, and an unspeakable wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He knew that his past self was indeed too naΓ―ve.
"I know that the world of the powerful is cruel, but when I really get to the front, I believe that it is really so cruel. β
He looked at the calm Zheng Sleeve, "Human life is the greatest, I couldn't imagine that in a world like yours, a life is so light and thin, just like the weeds on the side of the road." β
"You are luckier than the vast majority of people in this city, you at least really understand, but in the countless streets and alleys of Changling, the vast majority of people don't understand. Zheng Sleeve looked at him and said, "Some positions are born for people to sit, and it only depends on whether people dare to sit or not." β
The young god vault closed his eyes in pain, he was in pain because of the real world.
He closed his eyes and nodded.
"Tonight, the night owl's men went to the fish market, but you came here, what are you going to do?" he asked the question he wanted to know most at this time as he opened his eyes again.
"There won't be many dead people in the fish market, and if he wants to demolish those shops, he will demolish them. I don't want to have a lot of people there to fight him. Zheng Sleeve said, "If he demolishes mine, I will demolish him." β
The young Shendu prison official's breathing paused again.
"Thirteen Banqiao Hutong, after tonight, all the gambling houses and pawnshops there no longer exist. Zheng Sleeve smiled faintly, her smile was very beautiful, but it was still like a plum in winter, it looked a little too cold, "I can bear such a loss, but I don't know if he and the Nangong family can bear it." β
