Travel through a martial arts world and gain a little breakthrough every day.

When Lin Feng and his group arrived at the courtyard gate, they saw two carriages parked in front of Master Ding's courtyard.

Young Master Ding was also arrested this time.

He bribed the general of the city guard through his cousin, who was working in the city guard, to get into the city guard.

After being captured and imprisoned in the Ma Yiwei prison, Young Master Ding witnessed the Ma Yiwei's cruel tortures. Before the torturers even began, he chickened out and immediately betrayed his cousin.

His cousin was beheaded.

His crime was not serious, and he was willing to cooperate.

The Imperial Guards showed him leniency, sparing his life by not beheading him or confiscating his property, but only fining his family one million taels of silver.

Ding Yuanwai had to sell his family's shops and house to raise enough money for the fine.

His house was bought by Lin Feng and given to Sun Yu.

Sun Yu's methods are endless, and he has been of great help to Lin Feng during this period.

The Ding family is preparing to return to their hometown.

When Master Ding and his son saw Lin Feng and his companions, they quickly came over to greet them.

Master Ding bowed and said, "Gentlemen, are you off work?"

Young Master Ding had lost his former arrogance and said with a smile, "Brothers, you've been working hard for the people of Qinghe County lately. It's rare for you to get off work so early."

Lin Feng ignored them, and Zhang Xiaoyu simply nodded.

After the group entered the courtyard, Zhou Haitao said, "When that young master Ding first joined the city guard, he acted all high and mighty."

"What goes around comes around. Now they're penniless and have slunk away."

Lin Hu said, "They're considered lucky; at least they survived."

Lin Feng glanced at the two of them and said, "Instead of gossiping about others, you two should practice your martial arts properly."

During this period, Zhou Haitao and Lin Hu were busy with the case, and they had even less time to practice their skills.

Lin Feng assigned the two of them intelligence gathering tasks, which didn't require high martial arts skills, so they wouldn't be easily dismissed.

During this period, the Ma Yiwei (a type of special police unit) recruited more than 100 people to handle cases, which is already overstaffed, and some of them will definitely be laid off.

For the next three days, everyone in the Ma Yi Wei (a type of guard) was busy filing case files.

After finishing his work, Zheng Tiejun gave everyone a three-day break.

Lin Feng finally had some free time.

That morning, Lin Feng checked his attribute panel.

Name: Lin Feng.

Life: 200.

Faction/Affiliation: Outer periphery of the Sword Sect, Qinghe County, Hemp-Clad Guard, Deputy General.

Breakthrough point: 45

Realm: Refined Flesh (Stone Flesh)

During this period, he accumulated another forty-five breakthrough points, but he didn't have time to use them.

I finally have some time today.

After breakfast, Lin Feng and Zhang Xiaoyu went up the mountain to hunt.

After Zhang Xiaoyu drank the blood of several wild animals, she began to roast meat for Lin Feng.

Zhang Xiaoyu usually takes on the hunting duties.

Lin Feng rarely goes hunting in the mountains anymore.

However, once Lin Feng goes up the mountain, he inevitably has to eat eight or ten wild animals.

After Zhang Xiaoyu finished roasting two wild boars, Lin Feng started to treat himself.

This time, he plans to add points to the Dragon Roar skill.

This sonic attack martial art is even more domineering than the Buddhist Lion's Roar.

Both its deterrent effect and its area-of-effect attack are top-notch.

The Demonic Dragon Roar is a superior martial art. Lin Feng first spent four breakthrough points to learn the basics of the Demonic Dragon Roar, which increased his life attribute by two points.

I spent another 32 breakthrough points to upgrade the Dragon Roar to the fourth level, which increased my life attribute by 16 points.

Lin Feng had nine breakthrough points left, which he planned to keep in reserve.

Lin Feng ate three roasted wolves and four roasted wild boars today.

Eating meat is cheap, but it's too inconvenient.

Lin Feng plans to try some highly nourishing pills.

With highly nourishing elixirs, one can break through to a higher level anytime, anywhere.

After adding the points, Lin Feng checked the attribute panel again.

Name: Lin Feng.

Life: 218.

Faction/Affiliation: Outer periphery of the Sword Sect, Qinghe County, Hemp-Clad Guard, Deputy General.

Martial arts:

......

Dragon Roar (Superior) (Fourth Level)

......

Breakthrough point: 9

Realm: Refined Flesh (Stone Flesh)

After breaking through, Lin Feng couldn't wait to test the power of the Demonic Dragon Roar.

Just then, two wild boars were attracted by the aroma of roasted meat.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, rushed over, and roared.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Lin Feng's roar was like that of an evil dragon, carrying far and wide.

Two wild boars within five meters of him were so shocked that they bled from all seven orifices and fell straight to the ground on all four legs.

After Lin Feng finished shouting, he felt a tightness in his throat.

It seems this martial art has side effects and cannot be used frequently.

However, its deterrent effect and power are indeed maximized.

For the next two days, Lin Feng stayed home and spent quality time with his wife and children.

It's the fourth day and I have to go back to work.

The brothers changed into the robes of the Hemp Guards, slung their long swords over their shoulders, and went to work together.

As soon as they entered the courtyard of the Hemp-Clad Guards, their eyes widened in surprise.

In the courtyard of the Ma Yiwei (a type of imperial guard), there was a mountain of silver, estimated to be worth several hundred thousand taels.

The mountain of silver was covered with heavy silver ingots.

Zheng Tiejun sat on the silver mountain waiting for everyone.

Before long, all the guards in hemp clothing had arrived.

Zheng Tiejun said, "Thank you all for your hard work these past few days."

But everyone's hard work paid off.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, Qinghe County, which had been shrouded in dark clouds, finally saw a glimmer of sunshine.

What we are doing is a great thing that benefits the people, and our merits are immeasurable.

While we strive to benefit the people, we must not neglect ourselves.

Today is the day to reward those who have made contributions.

Our Ma Yi Guard has been quite busy lately, and we've recruited a lot more brothers.

Now that the work is finished, many of our brothers will be leaving us.

Those who remain must continue to work hard.

Brothers who left should not harbor resentment.

From now on, when we recruit members for the Ma Yi Wei, we will give priority to recruiting brothers who have left.

Before leaving, each of the departing brothers would receive a monthly salary of twenty taels of silver, plus a bonus of two thousand taels.

When everyone heard that those who left would receive two thousand taels of silver, their hearts were filled with excitement, and they couldn't hide their smiles.

Two thousand taels of silver was a huge sum of money for them.

Moreover, those who stay will definitely receive more silver.

Zheng Tiejun's gaze swept across the crowd. "Those whose names I call, take off your official robes and hand over your swords and other items."

But don't worry about not having clothes to wear, I've had the finest brocade robes custom-made for everyone.

Everyone smiled upon hearing this.

Lin Feng also felt that the general had handled things very well, and giving so much silver was more than enough.

He was a little worried about Zhou Haitao and Lin Hu.

Zhou Haitao and Lin Hu have already developed a sense of belonging to the Ma Yi Wei.

The two of them have worked hard during this period and have made some contributions, but their skills are indeed not up to par and there is a risk that they will be removed from the list.

Next, Zheng Tiejun began calling out names: "Li Ergou, Zhou Ergou, Zhao Xiaosong, Shen Tiezhu..."

More than thirty people were named.

These people took off their hempen clothes, put on brocade robes, and stood to one side holding a bag of silver.

Many people had tears in their eyes.

They really didn't want to leave the Ma Yi Wei.

The Ma Yi Wei (麻衣卫) has now surpassed the city guards and government offices, becoming the most powerful department in the government.

Those who remain in the Hemp-Clad Guard will undoubtedly have a bright future.

Zheng Tiejun gave a final word of advice: "You are also among the people who have ventured out of Ma."

Once you're out there, you must abide by the law. If anyone does anything illegal and falls into the hands of the brothers, don't blame us for being ruthless.

Let's go see the brothers off.

Everyone escorted these people to the door, giving them ample face.

Zhou Haitao and Lin Hu could no longer hide their smiles; they had actually been allowed to stay and become official members of the Hemp-Clad Guard.

After seeing everyone off, they returned to the courtyard.

Zheng Tiejun smiled at everyone, "The rest are brothers who will be working together for a long time, so their rewards will definitely be greater."

Now let's reward those who have contributed.
