The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

"What's going on? I'm already off work and you won't let me have a break."

After seeing off Boss Qian and the other two, Wang Shan sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and asked leisurely.

"Mr. County Governor, there's an accident. Two police officers are dead."

The police chief reported anxiously.

"The body was found in Sanlu Lane. The wounds looked cleanly healed. I asked people, but they all said they didn't see the murderer."

"They're dead, it's no big deal." Wang Shan said calmly, with a nonchalant expression, "Report the names of these two men later and say they died fighting bandits. They'll get some compensation."

"I understand, but..." The police chief was still a little worried, hunched over and reminded, "I'm afraid there'll be some trouble. After all, it's been a long time since we've had a police officer die here."

"Don't be afraid, it's okay. Maybe it was a murder of love or revenge."

Wang Shan spoke calmly with a blank expression and a determined look in his eyes.

"This is a county that's receiving special attention from above. Anyone who dares to cause trouble at this time is courting death."

"Besides, don't your men know for sure? They're into eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and everything else. Maybe they owe gambling debts, and if they can't get the money, they'll kill people, right?"

"This... is also possible."

The police chief thought for a moment and decided to go back and ask someone if the two deceased had any debts recently.

No matter what, they were wearing black clothes. If they were killed by local thugs, it would be a slap in the face of him as the police chief.

……

On the other side, as the sky gradually darkened, several dark-skinned policemen gathered outside the city gate to smoke and discuss where to go for fun in the evening.

Their daily task is to open and close the store on time. Apart from that, their biggest hobbies are drinking, spending money and playing with women. If they don't have money, they will ask the people for it. If anyone doesn't give it, they will be punished.

"Hey, Liuzi and Dazhuang are dead. Do you know what happened?"

In the crowd, there was an elderly police officer, a cigarette dangling from his lips, a mysterious smile on his face. He spoke quietly.

"I heard that the bandits came into the city, and those two guys were unlucky. They were killed as soon as they met each other."

"No way, we've dealt with the gangs around here before, they probably won't attack suddenly."

The other man wore his hat at an angle and was still reluctant to throw away his cigarette even though it was already at the end. He spoke as he smoked.

"I guess they pushed him too far. These days, even a cornered rabbit will bite. We should be more careful when we go out next time. If we run into those poor people with no money, just ignore them and don't get too close."

"We only have one life, so we should be careful."

"Who says it's not true? Who wants to die if they can live?"

The old policeman agreed with his words and walked out the door with his belt in hand.

"Going to pee and getting ready to close the door. Damn, I have to guard two broken doors all day. It's really fucked up. I might as well be patrolling the streets."

"Old Sun, you pee outside, always peeing against the wall, making such a noise every day. Don't even mention how disgusting it is."

"Fuck, you're asking for a lot."

Upon hearing this, Old Sun picked up his belt and took two more steps outside.

As soon as he stood by the wall, he heard a burst of dense horse hooves.

According to past practice, there should be no trucks coming back from shops at this time. Which grandson is late today?

Thinking of this, the old man twisted his neck to look outside while peeing. Unexpectedly, the scene on the official road almost scared him to death.

At that time, the sky had already darkened, and dust was rising all over the dim official road. In a trance, Old Sun saw a large and dense group of people riding war horses and galloping towards him.

Judging from the way those people were dressed, they were definitely not good people. They were most likely bandits from nearby who came down to extort money and food.

"Oh shit, something bad has happened!"

When Old Sun saw what was happening, he was so scared that he almost peed his pants and ran into the city with his pants in his hands.

"Hurry, the bandits are coming, close the door..."

boom……

Just as he finished shouting, gunshots were heard. Old Sun, who hadn't even fastened his belt yet, was shot in the back of the head. A transparent bloody hole appeared between his eyebrows and he fell to the ground helplessly.

"bandit!?"

The other three people's eyes widened when they heard the gunshot, and then they reacted quickly. They didn't even care about the body of their buddy, and ran away with their guns.

There is no intention of closing the city gates at all.

It really proves what I said just now, we only have one life, and when it comes to the critical moment, no one is a fool.

blah blah blah...

As soon as the few people left, the horse team rushed straight into the county town. The leader was wearing coarse cloth and had a black cloth covering his face. He turned around and shouted.

"Leave twenty men to guard the city gates. Don't let even a mosquito out!"

"One team will go to the police station, control the situation, find the roster and kill them one by one."

"Team Two, follow me to the County Government Office and seal off the Finance Department."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, their faces all covered with black cloth to prevent recognition.

"drive!"

As orders continued to be issued, everyone divided the work in an orderly manner, the team dispersed instantly, and moved quickly along the street towards the designated location.

This group of people did not seem to intend to alarm the people. Their action goal was very clear. Even though the shops on the roadside were not closed yet, they did not loot or harass the residents. Their discipline was very strict.

"Bandits, bandits are coming!!"

In the police station compound, the three policemen who had just escaped were frightened and pale. They crawled back and started shouting as soon as they entered the compound.

"Where's the Director? Where's the Director? The bandits are here, Old Sun was peeing outside the door, and he was shot dead!"

"Where are they? Which bandits are there? How many of them are there?"

At this moment, everyone in the police station had gone off work, leaving only four or five guys on duty. Just as they picked up their glasses of wine, they heard someone calling outside and hurried out to greet them.

"Who the hell knows how many people there are? If I'm a step slower, they'll all be gone!"

The police officers who escaped back were so scared that their legs were shaking. When they thought of Old Sun's miserable condition, their hearts couldn't stop pounding.

It was almost like that. If they had been a step slower, they would have died like Old Sun.

"What are you shouting about? What a noise you're making!"

It just so happened that the director had just returned from County Magistrate Wang's house and had not yet left work. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw their cowardly appearance, and his anger finally found an outlet.

He kicked each of these people on the buttocks and cursed them in extreme annoyance.

"All they do is complain about trivial things. They are all good-for-nothings and losers!"

"What happened? Tell me clearly!"

"Chief, run! The bandits are entering the city." The police officer guarding the city gate had a mournful look on his face, his whole body trembling. "Just now, a large number of people, too numerous to count, were beaten to death by them. Old Sun was even killed by them."

"Bullshit! Which of the bandits around here dares to be so presumptuous?" The director didn't believe the nonsense of these guys at all.

It was common for bandits to enter the city, but most of them would just rob the streets near the city gates and then leave.

There have never been any bandits around here who dare to openly kill police officers.
