In the private room of the restaurant, there were only three people, Xu Jingming, Zhang Ke and Qian Yan, sitting at the same table.

"Bang bang bang." There was a soft knock on the door.

"Come in." Vice Captain Qian Yan said.

Immediately, an old man pushed the door open and came in, saluting the three of them enthusiastically: "My family is very happy to hear that Mr. Jing has taken office, and I would like to send you a congratulatory gift." He put a bag of tips on the table.

"Captain, this is the housekeeper of Mr. Yu's house on Nansheng Street." Qian Yan introduced.

Xu Jingming understood clearly: "It turns out to be Mr. Yu! Mr. Yu has his heart."

There are only three officials with some status in the area under their jurisdiction. Of course, the 'officials' mentioned here are all at least fifth grade! In the imperial capital, officials below fifth grade...are really just trivial officials, not worth mentioning. Bloody

Rain Guards are too lazy to monitor.

"My dear, I take my leave." The old man sent a congratulatory gift and immediately left.

Xu Jingming picked up the kit and looked at it. Inside was a stack of gold leaves. He estimated that the total weight of the stack of gold leaves was one or two.

"Ten gold." Xu Jingming was a little surprised and took out a roll of paper from his sleeve. The paper recorded in detail the annual contributions of officials, wealthy families, wealthy businessmen, and gangs in the jurisdiction.

"Master Yu gave me too much," Xu Jingming said.

"To the former captain, Mr. Yu gave 50 taels of silver, and this time it was doubled." Zhang Ke nodded, "It seems that he intends to make good friends with the captain."

Qian Yan also praised: "The gift this time is ten gold. According to common sense, Mr. Yu will give this amount every year in the future! Mr. Yu is really generous to you, captain."

The three of them were eating and drinking while waiting for others to give gifts. At the same time, they checked the list to see who didn't give gifts and who gave less!

After eating and drinking for a long time, everything in the jurisdiction was provided.

Bloody Rain Guard’s money is the last thing we should owe!

Don’t dare to miss one!

"The total is two thousand three hundred and fifty taels of silver." Xu Jingming looked at the final total and was in a good mood. He looked at the two captains with a smile, "The next delivery will have to wait until next year, right?"

"Yes, once a year! This is the old rule." Zhang Ke nodded.

Qian Yan said in a low voice: "In fact, you can also squeeze and squeeze. Some wealthy businessmen can still squeeze more."

"But that would break the rules." Zhang Ke said, "If word spreads, the reputation within the Blood Rain Guard is not good, and none of the wealthy businessmen in the imperial capital have anything to do with it? If you really get anxious, you may get into trouble.

There may even be a killer who comes into our house at night, and the rabbit bites people when it gets anxious."

"How can a bunch of cheap guys turn the world upside down?" Qian Yan sneered, "Captain, we can definitely keep an eye on a wealthy businessman! Eat him up and wipe him clean!"

"Remember." Xu Jingming's voice was a bit colder, and he glanced at Qian Yan coldly, "Our Blood Rain Guard follows the rules of the Blood Rain Guard! If you violate the rules... Hum, Vice Captain Qian,

Don’t blame me for turning against others!”

Qian Yan was frightened.

I thought that the captain might have a big backing and background, so I asked the captain to vote for me!

But obviously, this captain really cherishes feathers.

"I understand, I understand." Qian Yan smiled, "The captain's future is more important."

"Um."

After Xu Jingming spent a long time contacting him, he discovered that Zhang Ke looked burly and strong, but he was actually smooth and well-behaved. Qian Yan looked rich and smiling, but he was actually vicious and ignored the rules.

temperament.

In the Blood Rain Guard, there are many people who ignore the rules.

"Bang bang bang." Someone knocked on the door again.

"Captain, bring the Yaren." There was a Bloody Rain Guard with a Yaman.

Yaren immediately knelt down respectfully: "Young man, I have met all of you adults."

"Captain, these Ya people know all the people who are selling or renting houses in our jurisdiction." said the Blood Rain Guard.

Xu Jingming nodded.

Now that he has taken office, he cannot live in Fei Mansion forever and has to move out.

…

With my status, I don't know how long I can live, so naturally I won't buy a house, but rent it.

The house I rented was within the jurisdiction, which was relatively quiet. Just over a mile away were some restaurants, teahouses and other bustling places.

"The annual rent for such a house is 50 taels of silver. If you buy it, you will need 2,000 taels. It's not easy to live in the imperial capital! The rent is much higher than that of Lanyue City." Xu Jingming looked at this ordinary house. The house only has a few rooms, and there is a small martial arts training ground of half an acre behind the house. This is why Xu Jingming rented this house.

There were Blood Rain Guards, and the auxiliary guards moved furniture, quilts and other daily necessities and quickly arranged them.

"Captain, everything has been arranged." Zhang Ke arranged everything, "Captain, do you really not need two maids to serve you?"

"No, remember to buy some good wine for the brothers." Xu Jingming threw out a broken piece of silver.

"Thank you, Captain."

All the Blood Rain Guards responded in unison, all showing joy. They were not happy for the drinks, but felt that their 'boss' still valued them, and it was not a stingy character! Some indifferent captains... would not give it to their subordinates at all. Spend a coin! It’s hard to work under a captain like that.

The auxiliary guards had left obediently a long time ago. They had nothing to drink. The Blood Rain Guards and the auxiliary guards were at two different levels. How could the captain of the Blood Rain Guards buy wine for the auxiliary guards? Xu Jingming dared to buy it, but the auxiliary guards still refused. I dare not drink it.

Soon Xu Jingming was the only one left in the house.

Outside the house door, there are five blood rain guards waiting for a long time! They are responsible for guarding the street and obey Xu Jingming's orders at any time.

"The annual filial piety in the jurisdiction is about 2,300 taels, and the salary is 600 taels. I usually save some money... I'm lucky, I can save 5,000 taels a year. But I also have to spend money in many aspects. , making friends, entertaining guests, and the boss may have to share some expenses, these expenses are not small." Xu Jingming thought, "In the position of captain of the Blood Rain Guards, it is very big to have 3,500 taels in hand a year. Not bad.”

"If you follow the rules, it will take you thirty years to earn ten thousand gold!"

"But in this bloody world, with my status, can I live for thirty years?"

Xu Jingming shook his head.

As a space citizen player, from the day I took on the role of captain of the Blood Rain Guards, the level of targeting I faced has been increasing.

If it reaches 100 households, the targeting will increase again.

According to the information I collected...the higher the official position, the harder it is to live longer!

"Captain, should we go to Wenxiang Building?" The voice of his subordinates came from the door.

"Let's go to Wenxiang Building." Xu Jingming invited many captains from Qianhu Station today, so naturally they had to arrive early.

****

Xu Jingming quickly became familiar with the life of the captain of the Blood Rain Guards. As the captain, he could eat, drink and have fun every day!

Because some of the hard work is done by the auxiliary guards, and the monitoring work is done by the Blood Rain Guards under their command! Only when big things happen, they will report to the captain and let the captain give orders. In fact, the so-called 'big things' 'I'm afraid it's rare to encounter it even once in ten or eight days.

"It's such a relaxing day like this." Xu Jingming was practicing his marksmanship in the martial arts training ground where he lived. He waited until the sun set before he went out. Immediately, five Blood Rain Guards outside the gate followed him.

All the way to Jiuwei Tower.

"Captain." Zhang Ke and Qian Yan, the two vice-captains, greeted them warmly. Xu Jingming waved his hand, and the five Blood Rain Guards behind him retreated to find a place to drink and eat.

Xu Jingming, Zhang Ke, and Qian Yan entered Jiuwei Tower.

Sit down in the corner on the second floor.

"Captain, Jiuweilou's 'Jiuwei' is also very famous in the imperial capital. You must try it." Zhang Ke said.

"Tell me, what happened in the past three days." Xu Jingming asked.

According to the rules, they meet once every three days! The two vice-captains report all the work of these three days. If there is any special event... they will naturally report it to Xu Jingming as soon as possible.

"In the past three days, things have been relatively safe in our jurisdiction. It's just about fighting, petty theft, and some of the people who died were gang members, so they're not worth mentioning. However, there are a lot of big things happening in other places in the imperial capital.

." Zhang Ke said.

"Tell me and listen." Xu Jingming listened while eating.

As time goes on……

There are more and more guests in Jiuweilou. At the same time, there are performances on the stage and music sounds, as if a stream is flowing through the entire restaurant. The restaurant guests are also enjoying this atmosphere.

Xu Jingming was also in a good mood, because the music was good enough, the woman performing was beautiful, and the Jiuwei Tower's Jiuwei was well-deserved.

"Dong dong dong."

Suddenly, the sound of noisy footsteps sounded, which made Xu Jingming frown slightly. A person with a little bit of elegance... At this time, when he heard the music, he should walk a little softer. But the footsteps of this group of people did not restrain at all, and they came to the second place just like that.

building.

The group of people came to the second floor. A guard scanned the surrounding area, paused for a moment on Xu Jingming and the other three, and then said: "Dear guests on the second floor, please give up your seats and go downstairs quickly! Yours

Our Mr. Shen’s family will pay for the meal.”

"please."

One by one, the gray-clothed guards looked at each table and urged.

"Shen Gong's family?" The guests on the second floor also had some spare money, otherwise they would not come to Jiuweilou for dinner. But seeing the momentum of this group of people and hearing the name "Shen Gong's family", many guests stood up immediately.

"Captain, this is Mr. Shen's family." Qian Yan whispered, "Let's go."

"Shen Gong?"
