Mortal Mirror

The next morning, Li Ergou, Zhou Da, Brother Sha, and A Kun followed Huang San to the largest hall in the yamen, the Chrysanthemum Hall.

As soon as he entered, Li Ergou felt the tense atmosphere. The other four head constables and their respective team leaders were already there.

Li Ergou thought, 'Is this meeting going to be so big?' Even the county commandant is here to preside over it. It seems this Blood Beast Sect is not simple.

Everyone took their seats in order. Li Ergou greeted the constables, who were all very polite to him since they had all received benefits from him.

In a corner, a man with several pockmarks on his face said in surprise to the person next to him, "Hey, who is this kid? He's got so much face that all the constables are giving him respect."

The person next to him, with big yellow teeth, said, "Pockmarks, you've been in Yu City for many days and just returned, so it's normal that you don't know. This guy has been in the limelight recently.

Remember the Turtle Demon incident? He's the one who killed that big guy. What's most admirable is that this kid has guts. The superiors gave ten catties of turtle meat, and he shared it with the constables.

I heard there was even a Qiankun bag as a reward, and this kid really knows how to suck up. He sold it to the county commandant at a low price. Damn, he's really good at showing off. Could you have done that?"

Pockmarks looked surprised and couldn't help but sigh, "Amazing. This kid's ass-kissing skills are really ruthless."

Big Yellow Teeth chuckled and said, "Hmph, just wait. This kid is not simple. Who knows when he'll climb over us. It won't hurt to build a good relationship with him in the future."

Pockmarks nodded without saying anything, lost in thought.

Li Ergou was arranged by Huang San to sit below him, which clearly showed his status.

A Kun looked at Li Ergou's smug appearance and felt resentful. This used to be his position, but ever since this Ergou came, he had been squeezed out by the detestable Huang San. But now he was helpless, after all, the guy had connections above.

His heart was filled with anger, and he just hoped that Li Ergou would one day get kicked by the horse he was patting. "Hmph, ass-kisser," he thought with contempt.

Just as everyone was discussing, the door opened, and the county commandant walked in with a stern face.

Everyone immediately fell silent.

The county commandant sat down in the main seat, cleared his throat, and then slowly said, "I think everyone should have received a message today. Last night, our men caught a remnant of the Blood Beast Sect.

These guys are trying to make a comeback, which requires us to be careful and find their lair so we can wipe them out in one fell swoop."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately started discussing. Li Ergou had heard Zhou Da say yesterday that the Blood Beast Sect was a heretical sect.

Thirty years ago, they were once very powerful and caused a lot of trouble in Bitterwater County, eventually forcing the Yu City prefect to personally dispatch many powerful figures to deal with them.

Only then was the Blood Beast Sect destroyed. Unexpectedly, their shadow has appeared again, how can people not worry?

At this moment, the county commandant knocked on the table, and everyone immediately fell silent.

The county commandant continued, "This time, I also want to commend someone, and that is Li Ergou. Li Ergou personally captured the Blood Beast Sect remnant yesterday. He not only caught that guy but also saved several colleagues. This is a great achievement.

After discussion between me and the county magistrate, we have decided to reward Li Ergou and promote him to deputy constable."

As soon as this was said, everyone couldn't help but exclaim. On the one hand, they were amazed at how powerful Li Ergou was, and on the other hand, they were amazed at how fast this kid's promotion was.

In less than a year, he had gone from a trainee constable to a deputy constable. But you must know that many people here have spent many years of seniority without becoming a deputy constable.

Especially A Kun, who was so angry that his mouth twitched. He had been in the position of team leader for more than ten years, working diligently every day. Who would have thought that this guy had only been here for a few days and was constantly promoted? This is too unfair.

For a time, everyone was filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Li Ergou was also very surprised. He didn't expect that just catching a werebear would get him such a reward, which made him extremely excited.

In fact, how could he know that this was just the county commandant returning a favor? If it were really based on merit, he would at most be rewarded with some things. But the county commandant didn't like owing people favors, and he really liked this little guy, after all, everyone likes someone who knows how to read the room.

Next, the county commandant arranged some tasks, mainly to interrogate the werebear properly and make him tell whether there were any accomplices, and so on.

After a meeting that lasted for half a day, the county commandant kept Li Ergou behind alone, expressing his love for him and subtly mentioning that this promotion was also his reward to Li Ergou.

Li Ergou had been in the yamen for a long time and was much smarter than before. He immediately understood the county commandant's meaning and thanked him again.

Before leaving, he also took out the slaughtered second-generation chicken and ten second-generation eggs stored in the bronze mirror and gave them to the county commandant, which made the county commandant very happy. He heard that these were local specialties raised by Li Ergou and admired Li Ergou even more.

After praising him a few times, Li Ergou didn't want to waste the adult's time and left very tactfully.

Li Ergou was the kind of person who didn't like owing people anything. If others were good to him, he would repay them tenfold. There was no way, that was just his personality.

Of course, these things were good things for others, but for him, they were just small things, a cost-free business. Why not do it?

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the hall, many colleagues were waiting here and hadn't left, all congratulating Li Ergou.

Brother Sha and Zhou Da even wanted to invite Li Ergou to drink, but Li Ergou refused them all.

Because he wanted to personally interrogate the werebear. His reason was that he wanted to completely eradicate this harmful thing so that everyone in Bitterwater County could have a safe living environment.

In fact, he had two real intentions. One was to be curious about what kind of cultivation technique this guy practiced that was so strange.

The second was that this guy kept saying he was wronged yesterday. He was just soft-hearted and wanted to know what grievances he had. Even in that state, he still kept saying it, which was really a case of curiosity killing the cat.

When Brother Sha and Zhou Da heard this, they praised Li Ergou one after another, but they didn't like doing this kind of thing and made excuses to slip away.

Although Li Ergou didn't know why they were so afraid, he came to the interrogation room accompanied by Lu Yun and Zhang Long.

Now Li Ergou's reputation was rising, and everyone in the yamen knew him. Seeing him coming, an interrogation constable immediately came out and flattered him.

Li Ergou was happy in his heart, thinking that power was really a good thing. It was a pity that he didn't let Huang Batian see his present self, which was a little regretful.

At this time, led by the interrogation constable, they saw the werebear tied to a wooden stake, beaten beyond recognition. This guy had now completely turned into a human form.

At this moment, this guy's head was swollen, there was not a single good spot on his body, and his eyes were almost dull, not knowing if he had been tortured to madness.

Seeing this scene, Li Ergou was slightly annoyed and said, "You haven't gotten a confession yet. If you beat him to death, wouldn't that ruin everything?"
