Li Qing and the others were in charge of the Training Hall, so Su Xin was more at ease. Every day, he was responsible for walking around a few times, making his presence known, and letting the gang members know who gave them the opportunity to learn martial arts. That was enough.
For the rest of the time, Su Xin practiced in the hall of Yongle Workshop or exchanged pointers with Li Bo.
Li Bo's talent was not bad. After watching the battle between Su Xin and Li Zhonghe, he had some inspiration. Last night, he directly broke through the 36th aperture and reached the early stage of the Acquired Realm.
Su Xin's Deadly Thorn Quick Sword required more internal force because it was a pure killing sword skill. The more strength one had, the more one could exert this terrifying killing skill.
However, Li Bo's Bixie Swordsmanship did not have so many requirements for internal force. After reaching the early stage of the Acquired Realm, he also increased his speed, not the strength of the sword.
Compared with the original Sunflower Treasure Book, the advantages and disadvantages of the Bixie Swordsmanship were equally obvious.
At this time, Huang Bingcheng walked into the hall and said to Su Xin, "Boss, Liu Shengming wants to see you."
"Why does he want to see me?" Su Xin asked doubtfully.
Liu Shengming was one of the leaders of the Flying-eagle Gang. Usually, he was not close to the three hall masters. He could be regarded as one of the gang leader's people, so he had no contact with him.
It could be said that Su Xin had no contact with the other leaders. The leader of the Flying-eagle Gang had more autonomy. Everyone guarded their own territory and would not easily go to other people's territory.
Huang Bingcheng shook his head and said, "I don't know. He came alone and only said that he wanted to see you."
"Okay, let him in."
After a while, Huang Bingcheng came in with a middle-aged man who was nearly 50 years old.
As soon as Liu Shengming saw Su Xin, he immediately laughed and cupped his hands, "Congratulations, Hall Master Su, for becoming the youngest Hall Master of my Flying Eagle Gang. Tsk tsk, Hall Master Su is a young hero. This old man is envious of you."
Su Xin replied humbly, "Boss Liu, you're too polite. You're not an old man. As far as I know, you're not even fifty yet, right? He should be in his prime. "
Liu Shengming shook his head with a bitter smile, "Hall Master Su, you think too highly of me. For an old man like me with poor inner force cultivation, I only cared about fighting power when I was young, so I chose to cultivate those hard body skills and martial skills that could be mastered quickly.
In the end, my body couldn't take it anymore when I was old. Once I turned 40, my body started to go downhill. To tell you the truth, I don't dare to fight intensely with others anymore. My body can't take it anymore. "
Su Xin cooperated and comforted Liu Shengming with a few words. Since Liu Shengming didn't say why he was here, he wasn't in a hurry. He chatted with Liu Shengming and said a lot of nonsense.
In the end, Liu Shengming couldn't help but sigh and said, "Hall Master Su, actually, this time I came to ask you for a favor."
"What's the matter, Boss Liu? As long as I, Su Xin, can do it, I will definitely do it for you. After all, we're all brothers of the Flying-eagle Gang." Su Xin patted his chest and promised to take on everything.
Liu Shengming said awkwardly, "Here's the thing. I have a good-for-nothing son. Some time ago, he was drinking and causing trouble in Changde Lane, and he even smashed the shop.
"I think Hall Master Su also knows that Changde Lane is different from the peripheral markets like ours. Those who can open a shop there are not simple people. "They directly went to the government and put my good-for-nothing son in prison.
"I took the money to beg them, but they didn't buy it at all. They directly asked the government to sentence my unfilial son to two years in prison. I've told all my connections in the government that they can't afford to offend the one who spoke, so it's useless even if they give him money."
Speaking of this, Boss Liu's face showed a trace of sorrow. "Although my unfilial son is good-for-nothing, he has been spoiled since he was young. I'm afraid he'll be crippled if he stays in prison for two years.
"I heard that Hall Master Su has a good relationship with Tie Wuqing, the chief of detectives of the Twelve East Lanes. That's why I came to ask you. I hope you can talk to Chief Tie and let my unfilial son go. Money is easy to negotiate. I, Old Liu, still have some savings over the years."
After listening, Su Xin pondered for a moment and said, "Boss Liu, wait a moment. I'll go ask someone. I'll be back in a while."
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Although Liu Shengming said so, his face showed excitement.
Since Su Xin didn't refuse at first, it meant that there was still a chance of this matter.
After walking out of the hall, Su Xin asked Old Huang to call the street patrolling constables of Yongle Lane.
There were forty-nine markets in Chang Ning Prefecture, and each market had a few street patrolling constables who were responsible for managing some problems on the streets.
Yongle Lane was managed by Tie Wuqing, and these street patrolling constables were all Tie Wuqing's subordinates. They were also familiar with Su Xin.
Towards these government officials, Su Xin was never stingy with the money in his hands.
For someone of Tie Wuqing's status, a little money naturally couldn't move him. Therefore, Su Xin only gave Tie Wuqing political achievements.
But these street patrolling constables were different. They were all locals of Chang Ning Prefecture, so they also needed money to support their families. The money that Su Xin gave them every month was even ten times more than what the government gave them.
Therefore, when these street patrolling constables saw Su Xin, they were very friendly.
Especially after the Ring of Life and Death, these street patrolling constables realized that Su Xin wasn't only their financial backer, but he was also very strong. Therefore, their attitude towards Su Xin became even more friendly.
As a matter of fact, when Su Xin called out, a street patrolling constables immediately followed Huang Bingcheng out from a nearby restaurant.
These street patrolling constables could be said to be the most comfortable in Su Xin's territory.
Su Xin's management of his subordinates was abnormally strict. There was no gang member who dared to casually extort merchants or cause trouble on the streets.
Not only that, there was also a large number of gang members patrolling the streets every day. Anyone who dared to cause trouble in Su Xin's territory would definitely not have a good ending.
The things that these gang members did were even more professional than the street patrolling constables.
Therefore, these street patrolling constables in Su Xin's territory would find a small restaurant to drink and watch the show every day. Then, they would wait for a large amount of money to come into their hands. This was a rather comfortable life.
They also knew that this comfortable life was given to them by Su Xin. Therefore, when Su Xin called out, this street patrolling constables immediately put down his wine cup and came over.
"Hall Master Su, what's the matter?" This young street patrolling constables asked politely.
"Constable Little Zhang, why are you so polite? We are of similar age. You can just call me Brother Su like before. "
Constable Little Zhang hurriedly smiled bitterly and said, "Hall Master Su, please don't harm me. Our boss is the one who values seniority the most. If he calls you brother, if I still call you brother, it won't be good if the boss hears it."
Su Xin didn't force him and directly brought him to the hall.
"This is the big boss of our Flying Eagle Gang, Liu Shengming. This is Constable Little Zhang of Yongle Road."
Liu Shengming saw that Su Xin had brought someone from the government in such a short time. Moreover, it was a constable, so he was immediately overjoyed.
His relationship with the government was that of some scribes. The hat on his head wasn't small, but the power he had wasn't big.
In the big cities of the Central Plains, the authority of the government's scribes and scribes was not bad. But in a small southern barbaric city like Chang Ning Manor, even the government only believed in strength.
With Tie Wuqing's strength in Chang Ning Manor, he could be ranked in the top five. But even the highest ranking prefectural magistrate had to be polite to Tie Wuqing.
Therefore, in Chang Ning Manor's officialdom, the ones with the most power were not the scribes of each yamen, but the constables and constables.
Liu Shengming cupped his fists towards Constable Little Zhang and said respectfully, "Constable Little Zhang is indeed young and promising. You are able to become a street patrolling constable of Yongle Road at such a young age."
In the face of Liu Shengming's compliments, Constable Little Zhang only snorted and didn't care in the slightest.
He was polite to Su Xin because Su Xin had given him money and a comfortable life. Most importantly, it was because Su Xin had the strength to kill Li Zhonghe at the middle stage of the Houtian Realm.
Although Constable Little Zhang was only a few years older than Su Xin, his strength was also at the early stage of the Houtian Realm. In the face of Liu Shengming, who had only opened a dozen or so apertures at his age, he naturally didn't care.
Liu Shengming smiled awkwardly. Even if Constable Little Zhang was arrogant, he didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing that the scene was a little awkward, Su Xin directly said to Constable Little Zhang, "Actually, I called you here because of Boss Liu.
Boss Liu's son offended someone at Changde Lane and was sentenced to two years in prison. I want to know who he offended and then find Lord Tie to bail him out. "
Hearing Su Xin's words, Constable Little Zhang immediately understood, "So it's that kid who smashed up the restaurant at Changde Lane. If it's such a small matter, then there's no need to trouble Boss. I'll handle it for you, Hall Master Su."
Hearing Constable Little Zhang's promise, Liu Shengming's eyes immediately lit up.
"Do you know the person he offended?" Su Xin asked.
Constable Little Zhang nodded. "The shop that the brat smashed was owned by Advisor Sun's family in our prefectural magistrate's office. Such a small matter didn't have the jurisdiction of the prefectural magistrate, so when the case was submitted, Advisor Sun secretly changed the sentence to two years in prison."
Hearing Constable Little Zhang's words, Liu Shengming finally understood. No wonder the person he found was useless.
When the prefectural magistrate took office, he would definitely bring along an advisor to help him handle political affairs. There would usually be several advisors, and this Advisor Sun was the Master Xing who was in charge of the name of punishment.
His relationship in the prefectural magistrate's office was that of an official of the punishment chamber. Although he had nothing to do with the Master Xing in name, he was actually under the jurisdiction of the Master Xing.
Their own son had smashed up the restaurant of their immediate superior, so it would be strange if they would help him.
Su Xin said, "Is this matter troublesome? If you offend Advisor Sun in order to bail out Boss Liu's son, then the gains won't make up for the losses. Why don't you go find Lord Tie? "
Constable Little Zhang patted his chest and said with disdain, "There's no need. Who does that Advisor Sun think he is? He's an outsider who was only brought here by the prefectural magistrate to handle official business. Without the prefectural magistrate's support, he doesn't even have a rank. He's not even worth a fart.
My Zhang family has been constables in Changde Lane for more than ten years. Why would we be afraid of him? My big brother is the street constable of Changde Lane. When the time comes, we just need to ask him. I guarantee that Advisor Sun will release him the next day. "
