Chapter 159 Long'an Business Road
Chapter 159 Long'an Business Road
The Nancheng Town Pacification Office was extremely efficient and a promotion ceremony was held a few days after Chen Pingan received the appointment notice.
In addition to Chen Pingan, many other promoted personnel were also awarded plaques and registered at this ceremony.
The core senior executives who were promoted this time were mainly two people. One was the deputy general manager transferred from another city district, and the other was Chen Pingan.
The other person, not to mention, had been a candidate for the chief officer in another city for a long time, and his own cultivation had already entered the inner energy realm. With some operations, it was legitimate for him to be transferred to serve as the deputy chief officer.
On the contrary, Chen Ping'an's promotion to the candidate for chief constable gave people a lot to think about.
He was first transferred from Nanquan Lane to serve as the head of the South City Prison. Before he could even get comfortable in the job, he was directly promoted to the position of Chief Inspector. In just a few months, he had overcome a chasm that others could hardly cross.
The most crucial thing is that Chen Pingan’s martial arts skills have not yet entered the internal energy realm.
But no matter what others think, Chen Ping'an's promotion is a foregone conclusion.
A very heavy waist badge for the candidate of the chief inspector, two special fish-scale clothes of the chief inspector level, two special cloaks. In addition, there is also a special sword of the sharp blade level.
However, Chen Ping'an was already accustomed to using the Hundred Pattern Sword, and the two were of similar quality, so he replaced the sword with a sharp blade-grade long sword.
In addition, as his level increased, the permissions that the Zhenfu Division treasury had for him also increased. Unfortunately, his time was still short, and his accumulated merits were limited, so he could not exchange them for anything truly valuable.
After being promoted to the candidate for the chief officer, Chen Pingan was still in charge of the South City Prison. But his power and authority were far from what they used to be. In terms of ranking, except for the internal energy worshippers who were not in the Zhenfu Division system, he ranked fifth in the South City Zhenfu Division and was the first person in the Qi and Blood Realm!
The chief inspector, the deputy chief inspector, the two directors, and then he, the candidate for chief inspector.
Supervisors of departments like the nine major offices are all under him.
Of course, this is only in name. In reality, apart from the South City Prison, Chen Pingan has no office or organization under his direct jurisdiction.
This is fine, he is happy to have some free time.
In the following days, he practiced the Swift Wind Sword Technique and the Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada every day. His progress in these two martial arts improved steadily every day.
At the same time, he gradually put the next martial arts training on his schedule.
For this purpose, he made a special trip to the Ruyi Bao Pavilion in the inner city, and after careful selection, he chose a sword technique and a palm technique.
Flying Star Sword Technique! Vajra Palm!
He had the golden finger panel, so he didn't worry about biting off more than he could chew. As long as the technique was suitable, he would practice it.
Chen Pingan also has his own considerations for choosing these two skills.
He had basically decided that the route he would take next would be a tough and vigorous style. But being tough and vigorous did not mean that he had to appear clumsy.
With the Eight Steps to Chasing the Cicada as the foundation of light Kung Fu, and combining it with a nimble and swift sword technique, there will be a qualitative change.
Flying Star Sword Technique!
Its speed is like a meteor, making it impossible to dodge. But judging from its power after perfection, it is even better than the Gale Sword Technique. It is an extremely top-notch superior technique.
The Vajra Palm was a real and powerful move. With one palm strike, it was as powerful as a rotten tree. Combined with Chen Ping's Golden Bell Cover, which was both internal and external, the two complemented each other.
These two skills were extremely expensive, and their value far exceeded that of ordinary superior skills. The combined value of the two skills actually required ten thousand taels of silver.
With Chen Ping'an's current wealth, this is not a big problem. He should be able to collect enough money if he accumulates for some time.
However, given his current situation, he could not justifiably take out the money.
Therefore, Chen Pingan planned to change his appearance and go to Ruyi Pavilion under another identity until he had enough money to buy the two skills.
At the moment, the silver is not enough, and the Gale Sword Technique and Eight Steps to Chasing the Cicada have not been perfected yet, so Chen Pingan is not particularly anxious.
Chen Pingan had lived a peaceful life like this for nearly half a month. During a regular meeting one day, Chen Pingan heard something from Mu Wanjun. This matter also spread very quickly within the Zhenfusi system. The deputy commander of the Zhenfusi of Baishi Town died at home inexplicably! It is suspected that the shadow of the Wanmo Cult is behind it.
The Ten Thousand Demons Cult again?
Chen Pingan's heart trembled.
Baishi City is a small city under the jurisdiction of Weishui County.
In the city's pacification system, the deputy commander is the true second in command and is already a local tycoon.
But it is really unbelievable that such a giant died at home under unclear circumstances.
Is the Ten Thousand Demons Cult going to start causing trouble again?
Not only Chen Pingan thought so, many people in the outer town pacification office also thought so.
When the commander of the Outer Town Pacification Office heard about this, he was extremely angry, and even the Inner Town Pacification Office above him was alarmed.
Baishi City is a small city after all, and even the deputy commander of the city's pacification department is actually only at the level of a deputy chief officer. The reason why this incident caused such a big fuss is that even the inner city pacification department of the county city has paid attention to it.
There are two main reasons. First, a local tycoon died at home under unclear circumstances, which was a huge provocation to the entire Zhenfu Division.
The second is that although Baishi City is only a small city, it has a special location, close to the Canglong Mountains in the Weishui section.
Thinking of this, Chen Pingan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Canglong Mountains!"
According to the records on the treasure map in his hand, comparing it with the map, the treasure is located in the Canglong Mountains in the Weishui section!
Against the backdrop of the opening of the Long'an trade route, Baishi City, as one of the small cities closest to the Canglong Mountains under the jurisdiction of Weishui County, has the shadow of the Wanmo Sect behind the death of its deputy commander, which makes it hard not to imagine.
Chen Ping'an also occasionally heard about the Long'an trade route.
To the south of the Canglong Mountains is the border of Qingling Prefecture. The Long'an Trade Route is a safe and continuous trade route opened up on the Canglong Mountains.
It has been more than ten years since the concept of Long'an Trade Route was proposed, and the development of Long'an Trade Route is nearing completion.
If the Long'an trade route is successfully opened and put into use, the trade costs between Canglong Prefecture and Qingling Prefecture will be greatly reduced, trade exchanges will become more frequent, and commerce will flourish.
If the Long'an trade route can be opened up and operated, involving trade between states, the benefits contained therein are simply unimaginable.
At that time, Weishui County City, which is close to the Long'an trade route, will also benefit from it.
The Long'an trade route concerns the interests of all the people in Weishui County, big and small. All matters related to it are naturally at the highest level.
In addition to the Pacification Office, I'm afraid the aristocratic families in the inner city will also continue to pay attention to this matter.
Of course, Chen Pingan only had a brief understanding of the Longan Business Road. After all, this matter was too far away from him.
Even if he entered the third level of internal energy, he was still not enough to control the Long'an Trade Route. With the overall will of Weishui County, they could only take a share of the Long'an Trade Route, but could not achieve absolute control.
The Longan Trade Route was a complicated matter, with countless forces at work behind the scenes. Even the high and mighty Canglong State Central Government was paying close attention to the Longan Trade Route.
"Ping An, if you are free tomorrow, let's find a place to drink tea and taste it."
Mu Wanjun invited with a smile.
Ok?
Chen Ping'an's heart trembled, and he thought of what Mu Wanjun had said before.
Are we going to start matchmaking?
