Love and Dream Department, read this book, Dugu Yijian’s reward, thank you for the update ticket and encouragement, the emperor does his best to write well with quality and quantity!

At the same time, thank you to all the friends who gave the five-star evaluation, collection, recommendation and click on this book. Thank you for your sincere support and long gifts!]

In the evening, Xiao Yiming, who returned home, sat in the study. He first figured out the guitar and the exquisitely crafted leather box, then opened the shock-proof stainless steel pocket watch, looked carefully at the Roman numerals on the dial, and finally pulled out the brand new and shiny Colt pistol from the exquisite dark brown cowhide holster, slowly disassembled it, wiped every spare part with care, and then reassembled it step by step, over and over again, and became more and more skillful.

After the three-month training period expired, Ma Gang, who was assigned to the Nancheng Huangchengba Branch as a patrol officer, had not returned yet. When the fourth sister and the woman saw Xiao Yiming's concentration, they knew that they could not disturb him at this time, so the group of children would have no chance to communicate with their brother.

The current police system can be said to be purely a kind of dissimilarity. The direct jurisdiction of police agencies at all levels does not belong to the government, but to the army. The police only exercise the power of suppressing rebellion, household registration inspection, public security management, fire prevention and theft prevention, and criminal investigation and law enforcement. They still belong to the government government office, which has its own yamen runners and constable team.

Such a chaotic system and all aspects of constraints made the former police chief Zhou Shanpei very angry. He often complained that he had no way to make efforts except to manage beggars and prostitutes. If it weren’t for adopting Xiao Yiming’s three suggestions and further clarifying the power and responsibilities of the police, police stations at all levels had the right to detention and the right to punish small fines within 30 days, perhaps the same chaos as before.

This is probably also an important reason why Zhou Shanpei was transferred to the General Office of the Quanye Road. Now Mr. Zhou is doing a good job in Quanye Road. The large project he presided over in a prosperous area near the General Administration is now expanding the streets and building a large-scale commodity wholesale and retail market that can accommodate 500 merchants will open soon. This has caused heated discussions across the province in recent days and attracted much attention. The market has a resounding name - Quanyechang.

It has to be said that Zhou Shanpei was a decisive reformer. He standardized the police patrol system, which greatly improved the social security of Chengdu. He eliminated all interference and criticism, gathered beggars in the city to shave their heads, threw them into a handicraft workshop opened in four abandoned temples in the southeast, west and northeast. He weaved straw sandals, hats, bamboo mats, and carpenters, allowing many beggars who were lazy and afraid of hardship to support themselves with their hands, making the streets in the city a new look; he vigorously promoted sanitation knowledge and went to the streets to clean, which greatly improved the sanitation environment in the city. In addition, Zhou Shanpei strictly enforced the law, did not fear violence, supported education, and spread new learning, which was highly praised and supported by the people.

On the other hand, Zhou Shanpei's practices were quite extreme, such as he ordered all prostitutes in Chengdu to be concentrated in an alley for business, and violators paraded in the streets and imposed heavy taxes and punishments, and even hung a "surveillance household" sign on the gate of the noble brothel that obtained an official license, etc. These practices caused great criticism from all walks of life. Even citizens who have always despised prostitutes felt that this was too much, but he insisted on doing this.

For this reason, the anxious boss Xiong of "Baicui Tower" found Xiao Yiming and asked him to help plead with his mentor who valued him. Xiao Yiming really went to discuss this matter with Zhou Shanpei, but it still couldn't be changed in the end.

Xiao Yiming respects this stubborn teacher very much and is willing to get close to him. Putting aside Zhou Shanpei's respect and cultivation of Xiao Yiming, putting aside the intimate teacher-student relationship between the two, and putting aside Zhou Shanpei's limitations of being subject to the times, Xiao Yiming can say very objectively:

Teacher Zhou is indeed an enlightened and upright reformer, a pioneer and founder of China's police system. Judging from his compilation of China's first "Police Charter" four years ago and his great contribution to Chinese police education, he deserves the respect and support of Xiao Yiming.

Now that Zhou Shanpei has changed his career, the good development trend he has tried his best to create has come to an abrupt end. The successors Zhou Zhaoxiang, He Lunkui, Wang Qi and others are all pedantic old-style literati, with more stability and insufficient exploration. They probably won’t do anything great under the wise and self-protection.

The more Xiao Yiming experienced, the heavier heavier he felt, and he could not see any bright future for this difficult-to-return country.

However, what is beneficial to Xiao Yiming at present is that his outstanding achievements and performance are highly praised by many Shangguans. I heard that Zhou Shanpei went to Zhao Erxun twice and called to transfer Xiao Yiming to the Fuye Dao. The biggest reason is that Xiao Yiming is familiar with the laws and regulations, mastered English proficiently, was gentle and elegant, had neither humble nor arrogant interactions with foreigners, was calm and composed, and could also read the original English works such as "The Ethics of Heaven" and "The European Judicial System" and took a lot of notes in beautiful English. What is particularly rare is that Xiao Yiming is good at making money and is brave in innovation. He became a little rich man at a young age. If he was an assistant in Fuye Dao, it would be of great help to the industry and commerce of Chengdu and even Sichuan.

It is said that Zhao Erxun did not agree to Zhou Shanpei, and said that there was another appointment.

But Xiao Yiming was unsure. Last night, he came to the door specifically to ask Zhou Zhaoxiang, the General Office of the Police and the General Office of the Police Academy, and He Lunkui, the Director of the Education of the Police Academy. However, the two teachers who have always favored Xiao Yiming were hesitant and seemed unable to make decisions. Seeing that other classmates had a place to go, they still had no place to settle down.

This abnormal phenomenon made Xiao Yiming very upset. If he was allowed to stay in school to teach and be a translator, he would be in great trouble. The recruitment of the second class of students would begin soon. Xiao Yiming was unwilling to go to the Xu Mansion or Bazhong to do business. Now that his business is getting bigger and bigger, and his capital accumulation is at the moment when he has to do something, he is unwilling to waste his time at this critical moment.

As footsteps came, Xiao Yiming put away his pistol, turned his head and said hello: "Fourth, are you exhausted?"

"What are you tired? Can you exhaust me just a few accounts? Is it a delay for other things."

Luo Laosi sat on the chair next to him, picked up Xiao Yiming's teacup and drank it. After rumbling, he laughed as he put down the cup:

"Brother, you are now famous again. The whole city is rumored that you have received the honor of the Governor's personal commendation. I guess the major newspapers will be praised again tomorrow! The most seductive thing is that the big ** British girl hugged you and kissed you everywhere. The streets of the teahouse are circulating, and they are drooling and saying that you are lucky and erotic!"

Xiao Yiming was shocked: "My God, the rumors are so terrible!"

"Haha! If I were hugged by a foreign girl and bitten it, I would admit the many rumors." Luo Laosi's expression was as lewd as it would be.

"Ba"

Xiao Yiming slapped him on the head: "Don't talk nonsense, if my sister hears it, I won't deal with you!"

Luo Laosi pursed: "I'm afraid Sister Yi knew it earlier than I did!"

Xiao Yiming had no choice now. Ma Gang and Wu San came in hurriedly. Their heads and shoulders were wet, and their faces seemed to be a little wrong: "It's raining?"

Ma Gang nodded, pulled over Zhang Fangshou and sat close to Xiao Yiming:

"Brother, the brother of Nantang urgently reported to the third brother, saying that the Pengmu, named Jiang from the South Gate, quietly ran to Widow Qi's house again, and this time he was alone."

Xiao Yiming suddenly stood up: "The news is accurate?"

"That's right, for more than a month, no matter the wind or rain, Xiao Fei squatted in the broken fence room at the East Wharf of Yuhe East Wharf every night. Opposite was Widow Qi's home. When he came to find me, I was discussing with my second brother about some birthday gifts for you. After hearing this, I rushed over with my second brother. The door of Widow Qi's house was tightly closed. Little Fei was timid, afraid that he would not be able to see clearly, so he quietly got into the narrow alley on the side, climbed into the backyard of Widow Qi's house to investigate, and came back soon to tell us that Zheng, the surname Jiang, was drinking with Widow Qi." Wu San reported in detail.

Xiao Yiming clenched his fists excitedly: "Third brother, this is the best birthday gift you have given me!"

"Brother, the opportunity is not missed. It's raining. It's not easy to calm down when it's cold. Moreover, I'm on duty tonight, and that place happens to be the junction between us and the East Bureau's jurisdiction. The grandsons of the East Bureau are very lazy. After winter, they never go out at night. They gather in the branch to start gambling. I can control it." Ma Gan whispered.

Wu San nodded and agreed: "Yes, brother, the average man named Jiang left Widow Qi's house in the middle of the night. It is estimated that the military discipline is now strict. He dare not stay outside overnight. If he wants to do it, he has to prepare early. Xiaofei and my second brother are still watching there."

Xiao Yiming slammed the table: "Three, go and ask your brother and Xiaofei to go home to sleep. After that, you stay there and watch. Second brother, you leave immediately, patrol normally, I will change into my uniform and rush over, you are like this..."

"I want it!"

Ma Gang and Wu Sanying left immediately with one sound.

Luo Laosi grabbed Xiao Yiming who had changed into uniforms and said, "Brother, I want to go too."

"No, it's not good to have too many people. Besides, you have to teach the younger brothers and sisters in the back room. If you have no sign of it, won't everyone be surprised? Don't worry, I'll come back before midnight." Xiao Yiming whispered.

......

An hour later, Xiao Yiming and Ma Gang wore a pointed hat for police, bathed in the increasingly dense cold rain, and wandered side by side in front of the chaotic houses on the south bank of the Yu River. The breath they exhaled seemed to be frozen into frost.

Just after nine:30, the faint lights from each household had disappeared. The coughs of the elderly and the crying of children returned to silence one after another. On the cold rainy night, everything on the ground seemed to be frozen, and only the sound of raindrops falling on the leaves could be heard.

Time passed by in seconds, and the sky became darker and darker. Wu San, who was quietly hiding in the backlight on the left side of Widow Qi's house, was still motionless. His ears kept erecting, his eyes were fixed on the two brothers patrolling side by side, and his body was motionless.

Just after ten o'clock, the sound of dragging footsteps came from the door, and Wu San's whole body was tense, and his thick back, which was pressed against the wall, was tighter.

The old door creaked and opened halfway, and the clothes were not tidy, and the shiver of cold was shaking, and said that the wind was too strong. He handed the small lantern to the wild man who was lazily dressed in a straw raincoat, pushed him out of the door and closed the door immediately.

The peach named Jiang smiled, shook his body, tightened the standard long knife on his waist, cursed a few words in a low voice, and walked with a swaying lantern, and walked a few steps west along the river. He saw two confused shadows approaching in front of him. He quickly raised the light, and saw that the two patrolmen were relieved, spitting out thick phlegm and continuing on the road, without even realizing that there was a figure behind him quietly approaching.

Wu San suddenly accelerated suddenly, swung his hard fist, and slammed hard between the back of his head and the top of his spine. The peach of Jiang's surname was not too late to snort and pounced forward. The lantern that flew out of his hand was caught by Ma Gang who was approaching quickly.

According to the scheduled plan, Wu San took the lantern handed over by Ma Gang and continued to move forward, regardless of whether the people on the ground were dead or alive, as if nothing had happened.

At this time, Xiao Yiming's heels had already stepped on the neck of Jiang. When Wu San left, there was still no movement around him. Xiao Yiming quickly squatted down, reached out and pressed the carotid artery of Jiang, and then raised his hand and raised his foot with Ma Gan, and lifted his unconscious body to the edge of the Yuhe River.

Ma Gan glanced at the dark surroundings, squatted down and grabbed a handful of mud, covering Jiang's mouth and nose until Xiao Yiming urged him in a low voice that he pushed the dead body into the water.

The corpse swayed in the water for a few times, and quickly sank with small bubbles of "gululu".
