ively Li Miaomiao, Kong Jie, Xiao Zeng, and Dai Xiaqing 。Senior brother 。Dai Xiaoqing has always admired her senior brother. Even when she was a child, Xu Jingming was already a renowned genius boy f...In the private room of the restaurant, only Xu Jingming, Zhang Ke, and Qian Yan were sitting at a table. 。Bang bang bang 。A gentle knock sounded. 。Come in 。"Deputy Captain Qian Yan said," 。Suddenly, an old man pushed the door open and, with great enthusiasm, bowed to the three people: "I heard that Master Jing has taken office. My master is very pleased and ordered me to bring a gift." 。"Saying that, he placed a silk pouch on the table." 。"Captain, this is the steward from Lord Yu's mansion on Nansheng Street." 。qian yan introduces 。Xu Jingming understood: "So it's Lord Yu! Lord Yu is kind." 。There are only three officials with some status in their own jurisdictions. Of course, here 'officials' refers to at least those of the fifth rank! In the Imperial City, officials below the fifth rank... are really just petty officials, not worth mentioning. Even the Blood Rain Guard is too lazy to monitor them. 。
"The little one is retiring" 。The old man presented his gift and then immediately withdrew. 。Xu Jingming picked up the brocade pouch and glanced inside. It was a stack of gold leaves, and he estimated that the entire stack weighed about two ounces. 。
“Ten gold” 。Xu Jingming was somewhat surprised. He took out a scroll from his sleeve. The scroll detailed the annual offerings of officials, prominent families, wealthy merchants, and gangs within their jurisdiction. 。"You gave me too much, Master Yu." 。Xu Jingming said something. 。"To the former captain, Yu DaRen, 50 taels of silver were given. This time it was doubled." 。"Zhang Ke nodded, "It seems he wants to be friends with the captain."" 。"Qian Yan also boasted: "This gift is ten gold. According to common sense, Lord Yu will send this amount every year afterward! Lord Yu is truly generous towards Captain you." 。Three people ate and drank while waiting for others to give gifts, comparing the list at the same time to see who hadn't sent any or who had sent too few!
After eating and drinking for a long time, everyone within their jurisdiction had sent gifts. 。The money of the Blood Rain Guard, is the most that cannot be owed!
Not one less!
"A total of 2,350 taels of silver" 。"Xu Jingming looked at the final total, feeling quite pleased. He smiled at the two captains, “Next time, we'll have to wait until next year”
"Yes, once a year! It’s an old tradition!" 。"Zhang Ke nodded." 。But Qian Yan whispered, "We could also squeeze them a little more. Some of the wealthy merchants can still be squeezed for more." 。If we do that, it would break the rules. 。"Zhang Ke said, 'If this gets out, it won't be good for your reputation within the Blood Rain Guard. And which wealthy merchant in the Imperial Capital doesn't have some connections If you really anger them, there could be trouble.'" 。There may even be killers breaking into our houses at night, and rabbits can bite when they're cornered. 。"A bunch of scumbags, can they even turn over the sky" Qian Yan scoffed. "Captain, we could totally target a wealthy businessman! Eat him dry!" 。"Xu Jingming's voice turned cold. He gave Qian Yan a chilling look. "We of the Blood Rain Guard have our own rules! If we violate them... hmph, Captain Qian, don't blame me for turning my face against you!"
Qian Yan's heart skipped a beat. 。I thought this captain might have a powerful backer and I could make some money by partnering with him.
But apparently, this captain is quite protective of his reputation. 。I understand, I understand 。"Qian Yan smiled and said, "Captain's future is more important." 。"
"Um " 。After half a day of contact, Xu Jingming discovered that the two deputy captains under his command, Zhang Ke, seemed burly and robust, but in fact, had a smooth personality and followed the rules. 。While Qian Yan appeared to be well-off and cheerful, he was actually a ruthless and unscrupulous person who disregarded rules. 。>In Xueyu Guard, there are many people who disregard the rules. 。Boom boom boom 。The door was knocked on again. 。"Captain, the Ya'ren has been brought in." 。>The Blood Rain Guard was escorting a prisoner. 。The Ya man immediately knelt down respectfully: "I, a small one, have met the esteemed lords." 。。“Xue Yu Wei said,” 。Xu Jingming nodded. 。Since he has taken office, he can't keep living at the Fei residence, he has to move out. 。...being in this situation, not knowing how long I could survive, of course wouldn't buy a house but rent instead. 。The rented house is located within the jurisdiction, relatively quiet. A mile or so away are bustling areas such as wine shops and teahouses. 。"
“Just a house, the annual rent is a full 50 taels of silver. If you buy it, it would cost 2,000 taels! Living in the capital city is really difficult! The rent is much higher than in Lan Yue City!” " 。Xu Jingming looked at this ordinary house. The house was just a few rooms, with a half-acre training ground behind it. That's also why Xu Jingming rented this house. 。With blood rain guards and auxiliary guards moving furniture, bedding, and other necessities quickly setting up... 。"Captain, everything is set up. " 。"Zhang Ke can arrange everything," the captain said. "You really don't need to hire two maids to wait on us"
"No, just remember to buy some good wine for the brothers." 。Xu Jingming tossed out a piece of broken silver. 。"Captain Xie " 。“All the Blood Rain Guards echoed in unison, all showing joy.” 。They don't care about the drinks, but rather think their 'big boss' still values them and isn't stingy! Some cold captains... wouldn't even give their subordinates a copper coin! Working under such a captain is truly miserable. 。The aides had already left quietly, they had nothing to drink. 。Blood Rain Guards and Assistant Guards are two different levels. How could a Blood Rain Guard captain buy alcohol for an Assistant Guard Even if Xu Jingming dared to buy it, the Assistant Guards wouldn't dare to drink it. 。
Soon only Xu Jingming was left in the mansion. 。Outside the residence, however, five members of the Blood Rain Guard were stationed there permanently! They were responsible for guarding this street and could carry out Xu Jingming's orders at any time. 。
“The filial piety within a year's jurisdiction is around two thousand three hundred taels, with a salary of six hundred taels. Saving some oil and water normally… if you're lucky, you can save five thousand taels a year.” 。However, I also have a lot of expenses in many areas. Making friends, entertaining guests, and possibly giving some to my superiors all add up. These costs are not insignificant. 。Xu Jingming was thinking, "As the captain of the Blood Rain Guard, if I could manage to have three thousand five hundred taels fall into my hands each year, that would be quite good." 。"If you came the conventional way, it would take thirty years to earn ten thousand gold coins!""But in the Blood Rain World, can I even live for thirty years with my identity"Xu Jingming shook his head 。As a player of Cosmic Citizen, since taking on the role of Blood Rain Commander, the targeted attacks I've received have escalated. >>> 。If I become a hundred households, the target will be raised again. 。According to the information I've gathered...the higher your official rank, the shorter your lifespan! "Captain, should we go to the Wēnxiāng Lóu" a voice from the doorway asked. 。Let's go to the Wanhxiang Building. 。Xu Jingming invited many team captains from the Qianshu Division today, so he naturally had to arrive early. 。Xu Jingming quickly became familiar with the life of Captain Xueyuwei. As captain, he could eat, drink and have fun every day! Because some hard and tiring work was done by the auxiliary guards, and monitoring various places was done by his subordinates, Xueyuwei. Only when something major happened would they report to the captain and ask for orders. 。Actually, what's called a "big event" is probably something that you wouldn't encounter even once every ten or eight days. 。Such a relaxing day. 。Xu Jingming practiced his marksmanship in the training ground of his residence. When the sun began to set, he stepped out, and immediately five members of the Blood Rain Guard followed him closely. 。All the way to Jiǔwèilóu 。ising fees. 。The era of virtual worlds, and being one of the top three streamers, the income is self-evident. 。She watched silently from the side, she could feel Yang Qingxiao and Liu Chongyuan's happ...
