Zhang San, please behave yourself!-Chapter 915 - 849: So This Is What Sending People Means?
Zhang San had just walked out of the private room when Wang Ziteng, who was guarding the doorway, came up to him and whispered in his ear, "Brother San, I think these family heads are all very shrewd. I’m afraid they won’t hand over the people easily!"
Hearing these words, Zhang San smiled faintly.
"In the entire Sword South Path, or more precisely, the entire Yizhou City, it appears on the surface that King of Shu, Yang Ling, controls everything. However, in reality, the ones calling the shots in Yizhou City are these eight families."
"With someone like King of Shu Yang Ling who just knows how to indulge in eating, drinking, playing, and sleeping with women, it’s been almost half a month since he announced the rebellion, and yet he hasn’t even figured out the military situation. This just shows he’s an easily fooled waste."
"And where did those confidants around King of Shu Yang Ling come from? Ultimately, weren’t they planted by these eight families? On the surface, King of Shu holds all power, but in fact, everything is under the control of the eight families."
"Otherwise, when we just stormed into the Shu King’s Mansion, how is it possible that all seven sons of the King of Shu vanished without a trace? Not even one was left behind!"
"Achieving this doesn’t just require skilled experts but also requires a lot of people for support and assistance. Things like this, even King of Shu Yang Ling himself can’t do in all Yizhou City; it’s something only the eight families can manage."
"Fortunately, there are eight families, but the King of Shu only has seven sons. So inevitably, it’s not enough for them to be evenly distributed."
"This will definitely lead to some discord among the eight families."
"Hope they’ll be sensible."
Just then, Officer Bi hurriedly approached.
"Deputy Chief, there is a rat demon here to see you, claiming to report for work."
Zhang San knew it must be a descendant of the Thousand-Eyed Rat King, and since he needed their help, he immediately went downstairs to another private room in Guiyun Tower.
Currently, Wang Ziteng had spent money to buy out the entire Guiyun Tower, so everyone here was on their side.
Because of this, Zhang San wasn’t extending the invitations.
The family heads of the eight families have money, so why not make them pay through the nose?
Upon entering the private room, Zhang San saw a rat demon that had almost fully transformed into human shape, though its face still didn’t quite resemble that of a human.
"Greetings, Deputy Chief Zhang."
Zhang San smiled at the rat demon and asked, "What’s the matter?"
"Deputy Chief Zhang, here’s the situation. The Rat King wanted me to inform you that not long ago, the Dominant Candle Dragon sensed Yan Liu’s presence and is now pursuing Yan Liu. Regarding Yan Liu’s matter, you need not worry."
Hearing this, Zhang San exhaled a long breath.
After all, if the issue with Yan Liu could be resolved, it would be like defusing a major bomb set up by an Outer God.
"Recently, many from the Demon Clan, following the methods taught by the Deer God, have entered Sword South Path and chosen to become Mountain Gods to protect local people in some forests. Initially, everything went smoothly in many areas. But as we moved into more secluded parts of Sword South Path, we encountered some issues."
Zhang San asked curiously, "What kind of issues?"
"There are numerous forests in Sword South Path, and in some of them, there are Wild Fox Zen practitioners. These practitioners also cultivate the Path of Ghosts and Gods and use the local people’s Power of Incense Flame to strengthen themselves. Some of them are relatively kind, taking good care of the people. Although they’re not from the Longyou Road demon clan, we’ve negotiated with them, even allowing some decent Wild Fox Zen practitioners to directly become local Mountain Gods. As long as they accept supervision, it’s fine. However, we’ve also encountered some evil Wild Fox Zen practitioners whose power was not weak. The demon clan we sent over originally intended to become Mountain Gods, but ended up dying at the hands of these Wild Fox Zen practitioners."
Zhang San understood that they were outmatched and with limited manpower, sought his help.
After all, the Deer God, Thousand-Eyed Rat King, and Yellow Dragon had all chosen demon clans with suitable conduct to serve as Mountain Gods and river gods in various places.
Basically arranging them as one fitting spot for each individual.
There weren’t any coordinated demon clans.
Thus, a prospective Mountain God arrives at the designated area only to find themselves unable to outmatch the local Wild Fox Zen practitioners, yet struggles to find other assistance.
After all, once other demon clans take the position, they are confined to their jurisdiction and seldom leave.
Especially during the initial period when they need to demonstrate their divine skills to nearby people, leaving at this time isn’t ideal.
"So you’re hoping I’ll have the Town Martial Office dispatch reinforcements, right?"
The rat demon nodded.
Zhang San chuckled, "That’s simple, I’ll send someone right away!"
Upon hearing this, the rat demon smiled gratefully.
Initially, the rat demon worried Zhang San might deem this a problem for the demon clan to handle themselves.
But surprisingly, Zhang San agreed so readily to send backup.
Even though the dispatched demon clan wasn’t weak, they were still killed by those Wild Fox Zen practitioners.
It shows these Wild Fox Zen practitioners are quite formidable too.
So when Zhang San sends people over, won’t he worry about his own officers suffering losses?
Certainly, in Zhang San’s eyes, there’s no distinction between the human race and demon clan; he treats us as equal to his own kind.
How wonderful it is to encounter such a kind human.
However, Zhang San turned to Officer Bi and said, "Go spread the word that these places have Evil God demons masquerading as deities and harming local people. The Town Martial Office does nothing, leaving the people too miserable! Spread this message out, and those righteous folks who came from afar trying to assassinate me before will surely act."
Officer Bi immediately understood and said to the rat demon, "Give me the list of all places with existing or potential issues upon inauguration, and I’ll dispatch people right away."
At this moment, the rat demon hasn’t yet fully grasped Zhang San’s words.
Turns out...that’s one way to dispatch people?
Originally, the rat demon thought Zhang San would send elite Martial Artists from the Town Martial Office to deal with the adept Wild Fox Zen practitioners of the Path of Ghosts and Gods.
But unexpectedly, Zhang San directly sends those who originally sought to assassinate him.
Those folks, if they claim to be righteous, will indeed act upon hearing such news.
If they go, won’t the problem be solved!?
This is brilliant!
Sure enough, humans are clever!
"Thank you, Deputy Chief Zhang, thank you, Officer sister."
Officer Bi awkwardly smiled, as it’s their first time being called sister by the opposite sex without any romantic interest.
"You’re here at just the right time, and I just happened to want to ask for your help with something."
The rat demon, hearing Zhang San needed his assistance, immediately smiled and nodded, "Deputy Chief Zhang, just say the word. It’s my honor to help you!"
"Is there any method among your demon clan that can trace from a father’s bloodline to find his offspring?"
The rat demon laughed upon hearing this.
"There indeed is such a method, and conveniently, the one who knows it is here in Sword South Path as a Mountain God, not too far from here. Deputy Chief Zhang, please wait a moment. Since this place is too clean, I can’t find any rats to send out a notice. Let me go find some rats and send them to summon him immediately!"
Zhang San first-time felt that having a dining place too clean could have a negative impact.
