Chapter 125 -118: Execute First, Report Later — Imperial Authorization! (6000 Subscriptions Wanted)

After a while,

Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing through them.

Finally,

he had thoroughly refined the bones and muscles of his entire body.

Now, with everything ready, all that he lacked was the “Supreme Mysterious Scripture” to attempt Qi Absorption and ascend to the Gang Condensation Realm.

Considering that he had entered Bone Refining a month ago, this progress was astonishing.

If people knew that Chen Yuan had refined his whole body’s bones and muscles within a single month, it would no doubt cause a shock, as few in the entire Jianghu could claim the same.

Of course, disciples of the top sects were exceptions.

Chen Yuan’s rapid enhancement of strength, apart from his own efforts, owed much to the help of Zhao Nanshan and Su Ziyue. Without the Snow Jade Ointment and Mystic Spirit Pill,

Chen Yuan would have been delayed for a much longer time.

Especially the Snow Jade Ointment, a spiritual medicine unheard of by Chen Yuan, was not just speeding up his cultivation. He could even feel his physique strengthening gradually since absorbing it.

Without the Snow Jade Ointment, Chen Yuan would not have dared to consume elixirs so recklessly, fearless of the elixir poisoning.

Standing up, Chen Yuan put on his neatly folded clothes. With three months equating the years of cultivation of an average person, his strength was now enough to dominate a county.

Having reached his expected level of strength, Chen Yuan did not delay any further and immediately rode at full speed towards the Prefecture City.

The journey was calm, with no incidents occurring.

…

…

Nanling Prefecture City was vast, at least ten times larger than Ping’an County when viewed from afar. People constantly flowed in and out near a city gate.

Chen Yuan followed the crowd into the Prefecture City but did not immediately head to the Heavenly Patrol Bureau Government. Instead, he toured many places to get a basic understanding of Nanling Prefecture.

After all, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he was going to live here for a long time.

Perhaps it was due to the market, but today, the Nanling Prefecture City was exceptionally lively, with some places even slightly crowded. Occasionally, Chen Yuan could spot some government officials in constable attire dispersing the crowds.

Chen Yuan watched quietly like an outsider for a long time.

Not long after, he headed towards the Heavenly Patrol Bureau Government.

The Heavenly Patrol Bureau was an independent government office, not located within the Government building, but it wasn’t far either, situated in the East District, the safest of the four major areas.

Few dared to cause trouble here.

When Chen Yuan first saw the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, he was somewhat surprised, for he had assumed that the formidable bureau would be very grand,

but seeing it in person, he realized he had thought too much.

The Heavenly Patrol Bureau was not large, about the size of the County Government, perhaps even smaller.

In front of the building, two Heavenly Patrol Guards in black uniforms stood firmly, their gaze indifferent, causing pedestrians to hasten their steps to avoid attracting attention.

This also demonstrated some of the authority of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.

Unassuming as it was, no one dared to underestimate it.

Chen Yuan led his horse forward.

“This is a restricted area of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, no loitering allowed!”

The guard’s tone was cold, giving Chen Yuan a fleeting glance.

“By order of Patrol Envoy Zhang, I am here to take up my post,”

Chen Yuan said, bowing slightly.

“Envoy Zhang?”

The two guards looked at each other, a hint of respect flashing across their faces.

“Do you have proof?”

The previously speaking guard also bowed slightly, no longer maintaining his earlier demeanor.

“Proof?”

Chen Yuan frowned, his eyes pondering momentarily as if he remembered something. He took out his assignment order from his bosom and showed it to them:

“Could this serve as proof?”

“Ping’an County arrest officer, Chen Yuan…”

The two guards examined it carefully and nodded:

“It will do. Follow me.”

One of them said.

“Chen Yuan!”

Just as Chen Yuan was about to follow inside, a somewhat familiar voice called out from behind. Chen Yuan turned and smiled:

“Brother Yue, long time no see.”

Yue Shan quickly stepped forward, playfully punched Chen Yuan in the chest, and laughed:

“Call me Yue from now on. It’s been so long; I thought something had happened to you. If it weren’t for being busy with some tasks recently, I’d have gone to Ping’an County to find you.”

Yue Shan was very friendly towards Chen Yuan, largely because Chen Yuan had previously impressed Yue Shan by acting as a conscientious official.

Risking proximity to warn him of the No-Life Sect’s demon.

Such individuals indeed did not evoke any ill feelings.

“Some minor matters held me up. As for Envoy Zhang…” Chen Yuan whispered.

Yue Shan said, “Don’t worry, the Envoy is broad-minded and won’t make a fuss. Come, I’ll take you to meet him.”

“So this Chen… Officer Chen is your friend, Brother Yue.”

The two guards spoke very politely.

“Yes, I’ll take Chen Yuan to meet the Envoy. There won’t be a problem, right?” Yue Shan looked at the two.

“No problem at all. Please go ahead, Brother Yue…”

The two men hastily spoke.

“Let’s go.”

After Chen Yuan and Yue Shan left, two Heavenly Patrol Guards began to discuss:

“Is that Chen Yuan personally invited by Lord Zhang Xuan?”

“It’s said that this Chen Yuan is highly regarded by Lord Zhang, and he gave up his arrest officer position to join our Heavenly Patrol Bureau, tsk tsk tsk… With Lord Zhang’s favor, his future prospects are limitless.”

“Don’t speak so assuredly. Before his strength is revealed, who knows what this Chen Yuan is truly capable of? Maybe Lord Zhang has made a mistake.”

“Oh, stop being jealous.”

“Am I being jealous?”

“Aren’t you?”

Seeing Chen Yuan’s somewhat puzzled expression, Yue Shan spoke softly:

“Chen Yuan, you might not be aware, but right now, they are only considered reserves of our Heavenly Patrol Bureau. Every official Heavenly Patrol Guard must reach Bone Refining Cultivation,

Only then are they assigned under a Patrol Envoy…”

Chen Yuan nodded, and after listening to Yue Shan’s explanation, he finally understood that each Patrol Envoy commands several to a dozen officials Heavenly Patrol Guards, forming an independent team.

They can independently complete the tasks assigned from above.

And these Heavenly Patrol Guards can also command a larger number of reserve personnel.

These reserve members are mostly selected from constables or military soldiers. If they can’t progress to Bone Refining within three years, they will be sent back.

Moreover, there is a strict rule within the Heavenly Patrol Bureau that if a Heavenly Patrol Guard cannot advance to Gang Condensation within ten years, they will be forcibly removed from the Heavenly Patrol Bureau.

Generally, they are assigned to a lower position like an arrest officer in a county.

Chen Yuan actually found it quite humane; if a decade of trial in the Heavenly Patrol Bureau doesn’t bring a breakthrough, it’s better to be reassigned below to enjoy life.

During their journey to meet Zhang Xuan, Yue Shan told Chen Yuan a lot of information.

Although Chen Yuan would eventually learn these things, knowing them sooner rather than later could make a difference.

Zhang Xuan holds a significant position in the Nanling Prefecture’s Heavenly Patrol Bureau, with a separate government bureau for action. People under his command, like Yue Shan, also work there.

About half an hour later, the two met Zhang Xuan.

“This subordinate, Chen Yuan… greets the lord.”

Upon seeing Zhang Xuan, Chen Yuan straightened his expression and saluted.

“It took so long, you finally arrived…”

Zhang Xuan said calmly.

“My lord forgives me, these past few days I was delayed due to my cultivation, so…” Chen Yuan hastily explained.

“No need for that, you haven’t started working yet, so it doesn’t count. But remember in the future, don’t do this again.”

“This subordinate obeys.”

“Yue Shan.”

“My lord…”

“Go help Chen Yuan receive his identity badge and official uniform.”

“Yes.”

“Have a seat…”

Zhang Xuan pointed to a seat in front of Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan bowed and did not demur, taking his seat directly next to Zhang Xuan.

“Now the whole Heavenly Patrol Bureau knows I hold you in high regard. Some people even want to see me fail, and might set traps for you. You must be careful.”

Chen Yuan nodded gravely.

Where there are people, there is Jianghu. Where there is Jianghu, there is conflict; this was nothing new.

“Actually, being an arrest officer in the county government isn’t bad either, though it can be demoralizing. But since you’ve chosen the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, remember one word, ‘caution’.”

“The power of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau is significant, and it’s commonly called the Annihilation Department outside; it’s not without reason. The Heavenly Patrol Bureau possesses an enormous authority,

to patrol on behalf of Heaven, to execute before reporting back!”

“Do you understand what this means? It means, without any evidence, you can act against any power within your jurisdiction, but… you must have sufficient evidence afterwards.”

“Of course, this power cannot be used recklessly. It’s limited. Knowing too much now isn’t good for you. When you reach my position, you will naturally understand.”

“Thank you, my lord, for your guidance.”

Chen Yuan said, his expression earnest.

“Of course, I have to give you some advice. Many outside are waiting to see if the person I personally invited is capable,

I hope you don’t disappoint me.”

Zhang Xuan looked at Chen Yuan with an even gaze.

“This subordinate will not disappoint you, my lord.”

Zhang Xuan gave Chen Yuan a look that was both smiling and not, suddenly saying:

“Very well, given so, I will not grant you any time to adapt. Just yesterday, a new case emerged, and I will hand it over to you.”

“You may command, my lord.”

Although internally upset, thinking this was even more demanding than a 996 work schedule and not allowing him any time to adapt, since Zhang Xuan had put it that way,

he couldn’t possibly refuse.

“Good, consider this your first task in the Heavenly Patrol Bureau, and let me see if your abilities are worthy of my esteem,” Zhang Xuan said calmly.

“Please, my lord, instruct me.”

“A case that I was investigating before, the principal culprit has been executed, but during questioning, this Yang Family was mentioned. There might be some connection between them, and the embezzled silver has yet to be recovered in large part,

coincidentally, someone from the Yang Family died under mysterious circumstances last night, use this as a pretext to investigate thoroughly.”
