Idle game leads to another world

Nanshan City is the largest city in the south of Yuezhou State and the only big city on the road to Nanjiang.

Rare medicinal materials from Nanjiang will pass through here. The fertile and flat land and pleasant climate also make Nanshan City grow rapidly.

But there is a very serious problem in big cities, that is, public security is not easy to manage.

The yamen constables in Nanshan City are no more than a hundred people, and there are not many yamen runners, but they have to manage such a large Nanshan City.

It is equivalent to a modern street police station to manage the public security of an entire city. You can imagine how difficult it is.

It is not possible for the county magistrate to increase manpower. Unlike yamen runners, constables have a system, and their salaries are paid by the court. The scale is not decided by the county magistrate. If you want to expand the scale, you have to apply to the superiors.

And the disadvantage is here. The superiors have no idea whether there are enough yamen runners. How many quotas can be approved depends on luck.

Since the constables cannot be increased at will, what about the yamen runners? There is no system.

Indeed, to put it bluntly, yamen runners are people who do odd jobs in the yamen, and many people of low status will choose to become yamen runners.

But there is also a limit on the number of yamen runners. If the number exceeds the limit, the county magistrate will pay for it out of his own pocket.

Let alone whether the county magistrate can afford it, even if he can, why should he use his own money to support people who work for the state?

The public security of Nanshan City has always been that there are no big cases, but there are constant small cases. The constables are almost busy all the time, but they still can't finish them.

Why does Zhang the head of the police have the title of the life-chasing god?

It is mainly because he is efficient in his work. He is one of the best among the heads of the police, but if it comes to kung fu, he is only at the level of a three-legged cat in the world.

Although there are problems, Nanshan City can still make do with the current state. At most, when reporting, it will be a bit miserable, try to apply for more quotas, and slowly increase the number of constables.

However, in this case, once an emergency occurs, it will not be enough.

Zhang the head of the police came to Wujiazhuang to borrow people.

Recently, people have often reported that they saw sneaky people at night, and even some people's dogs were killed after barking a few times.

It's not a big deal if a few dogs died, but the problem is that the dogs were dead all night and were not discovered until the next day.

This means that since the thieves can kill dogs without anyone noticing, they can naturally kill people.

There are also rumors of missing people. Although it is not known whether it is true or not, the people in Nanshan City have been panicked during this period.

There are more than 100 constables in total, distributed to various corners of Nanshan City. Not to mention whether they can handle patrolling during the day and working overtime at night, even if they can, the constables can't beat those sneaky thieves.

Generally, at this time, the government will ask the army for help, or go to the nearby martial arts sects.

In the former case, the matter will become a big deal, and it will definitely be reported to the superiors truthfully. At that time, no matter whether the matter is resolved or not, the county magistrate will definitely be charged with a crime of poor governance. It is unlikely that he will get his official hat, but don't even think about promotion.

As for the latter...

Unfortunately, there are no martial arts sects around Nanshan City. The nearest one is Yezimen, the one that plays with two swords, but it is also half a month away.

Distant water cannot quench nearby thirst, so naturally, Captain Zhang can only ask nearby gentry for help and think of a solution.

Not only Wujiazhuang agreed to help, but also the local gentry nearby lent a hand and sent some people to help the captain patrol the streets.

However, most of the local gentry just joined in the fun, and the people they sent had no martial arts skills, at most they had a little strength.

As night fell, Nanshan City faded away from the hustle and bustle of the day and turned on the silent mode.

"The weather is dry, be careful of fire and candles!"

The night watchman was holding a lantern and knocking on the clapper. It seemed that he was a little scared. After all, Nanshan City was not peaceful, and he was alone on night watch, so he would be panicked.

As for why Li Chengxi could see that the night watchman was panicking, it was because Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi were hiding at the corner of the intersection where the night watchman passed by. With the help of the shadow, the night watchman had no idea that there were two people hiding here.

It is true that Nanshan City is a big city, but it cannot be compared with modern cities. At night, especially late at night, the lights are turned off.

Especially when the clouds cover the stars and the moon, it is literally pitch dark. Hiding a few people at this time is just a piece of cake.

Captain Zhang meant that the guy who came out to make trouble in the middle of the night was not weak in martial arts, and the yamen captain might not be his opponent, but Nanshan City is too big, and Yang Yiyi can't monitor the whole city no matter how good she is.

The two squatted in the shadows and waited for the patrol to send a signal when they found the situation, and then they jumped out and rushed over.

"You really want to get involved in this kind of shit."

Li Chengxi yawned:

"That captain Zhang doesn't give money, why risk your life."

"But Brother Li, you promised..."

"Yes, I promised, but I still have to say it."

After all, this matter sounds impossible to be more dangerous than going to Southern Xinjiang or the Western Regions. Yang Yiyi still wants to be a hero who eliminates harm for the people. If she thinks so, Li Chengxi will certainly not let her stay honest.

And from what Captain Zhang said, this matter might have something to do with the Liu family, but Captain Zhang could not reveal a word, so he could only guess.

The matter between Yang Yiyi and the Liu family had to be resolved sooner or later, but Li Chengxi was not in a hurry. If he was really in a hurry, he would have sent a saint down long ago, anyway, the Liu family was next to Nanshan City.

Li Chengxi's meaning had always been that when our Yiyi's magical power was perfected, all the dogs of the Liu family would be raised by you, so he was not in a hurry.

But this matter is related to the Liu family, so it’s okay to check it in advance, anyway, they won’t be able to jump around for a few days.

Of course, it is precisely because of the relationship with the Liu family that Li Chengxi deliberately slept in advance to avoid a wave of magical developments. He got up in the early morning and watched Yang Yiyi’s operation in front of the computer.

Just as they were chatting casually, they suddenly heard someone shouting in the distance.

Wu Shaoyi has good ears, she listened carefully:

"We found the thief, let’s go!"

Yang Yiyi turned around and picked up Wu Shaoyi’s wheelchair, rushed out of the shadows with a brisk step, and immediately rushed in the direction of the shouting.

This Nanshan City is indeed very large, and it is true that you can hear the sound in the quiet night, but the location of the sound source is quite far away.

When Yang Yiyi rushed over, she heard more and more footsteps rushing in one direction, and at the same time, there seemed to be the sound of weapons colliding.

When the two flew over a family's yard and arrived at an intersection, they saw many people sent by nearby gentry holding sticks and fighting with a group of masked black-clad men.

At a glance, there were quite a lot of black-clad men, but the number of thugs sent by the local gentry was even greater.

Are there so many sneaky people that Captain Zhang said?

Li Chengxi was a little puzzled, thinking that it was a small number of people who were causing trouble.

However, Yang Yiyi didn't think much about it, and rushed in directly carrying Wu Shaoyi and the wheelchair.

She was still as reckless as ever.
