Chapter 257: Taking Office (3)

“Thank you.” Xu Jingming nodded and placed the two banknotes in his pocket.

Strictly speaking, as a Blood Rain Guard captain, he had 32 Blood Rain Guards and 165 auxiliary guards under him! He was in charge of a huge area.

“Continue doing what you have to do,” Xu Jingming said as he looked at the Blood Rain Guards. “In my team, there’s only one thing—don’t be afraid of trouble! As long as it’s within your authority, don’t be afraid. Don’t be soft; leave everything to me.”

Fei Qing had already said not to embarrass him. He naturally couldn’t be soft in his actions!

“Yes, Captain.” The morale of the Blood Rain Guards immediately increased.

This was the kind of captain they wanted! If the captain gave in, they wouldn’t be able to straighten their backs.

After breakfast, Xu Jingming strolled around his area of jurisdiction with the two deputy captains.

“Actually, our Blood Rain Guard’s responsibilities can be considered light but also as heavy as they can be,” Zhang Ke introduced. “The area we are in charge of has more than 20,000 residents. Many trivial matters are handled by the auxiliary guards, but some major matters… require our Blood Rain Guard to step in.”

“For example, we have to deal with some bandits, thieves, and rebels,” said Zhang Ke. “Our brothers are scattered in key areas. We have to monitor some of the critical spots. We have to keep an eye on the royal relatives, civil and military officials, wealthy families, and large gangs!”

“Of course, we only have three officials in the region under our jurisdiction. There are only two large clans that can be considered wealthy, and their gangs aren’t worth mentioning. There’s also a sect called Star Sword Sect that needs to be monitored.”

“Of course, they will all come today to offer you a greeting gift!” Zhang Ke sneered. “In the entire imperial capital, there are only a few top aristocratic families that we can’t afford to offend. We can’t afford to offend a few powerful princes… Most officials and families will tremble when they see us. If they anger the Blood Rain Guard, we can throw them into prison for a few days. If it’s serious, we can destroy their family.”

“Don’t make it sound so bad,” the plump Qian Yan said with a smile. “Peace breeds wealth.”

“Only with a saber in hand will those wealthy families be friendly with us,” Zhang Ke retorted disdainfully. “Captain, we have to be careful of some factions in the capital. If we provoke them, we might disappear on the way home. Your body won’t be found.”

Zhang Ke explained many things in detail and explained some unspoken rules.

As Xu Jingming listened, he compared it with the information he had gathered on the virtual world network and gained a clearer understanding of the capital.

At that moment, there was a group of wealthy scions riding horses in the city. The pedestrians immediately made way for them.

Huh? The scions looked at the three people in the distance.

Zhang Ke and Qian Yan were deputy captains of the Blood Rain Guard and were very famous in the vicinity. The person they followed seemed to have a higher status.

“It’s the Blood Rain Guard.”

“The Blood Rain Guard is in front of us.” The scions immediately restrained their horses and obediently moved to the side of the road.

As long as the Blood Rain Guard captain had sufficient reason, he could directly arrest anyone below Rank-5! These scions might have their parents in official positions, but most of them weren’t in office. If the Blood Rain Guards arrested them, they would be nearly dead or even dead when released.

Xu Jingming walked in the middle of the street with the two deputy captains. As he glanced at the obedient scions—who avoided him—he felt the Blood Rain Guard’s might.

The Blood Rain Guard… can really do almost anything in the capital, Xu Jingming thought.

“Captain, let’s take a look around,” said Zhang Ke with a laugh. “Be prepared for the deluge of money you’ll be receiving later.”

“Captain, you just took office, so they won’t miss out on the welcoming gifts. I’ll help you keep an eye on them. If it’s too little, I’ll make them cough up ten times in the future,” said the plump Qian Yan with a fierce glint in his eyes.
