? After the Tingzhou tax case ended, the Emperor was busy placing his trusted aides in the court and forgot to reward Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen was not in a hurry. He still went to work every day and patrolled the streets on time.
With the conclusion of the Tingzhou tax case, his status as an imperial envoy had automatically become invalid.
However, neither the Minister of Justice nor the Constable of Six Fan School had any intention of assigning him any tasks.
The chief constable and the two Wandering Gods were masters of the Ancestral Master level. They were only in name in the Six Fan School, so ordinary cases would not trouble them at all.
Their duty was to patrol the world and not let experts of the same level cause too much damage.
A grandmaster-level expert could cause great damage with a casual attack. In the early years, two grandmaster-level experts had fought on the Blue Dragon River. The aftermath caused the embankment of the Blue Dragon River to collapse, and the flood spread for thousands of miles. Countless people were affected.
From then on, the imperial court's monitoring and appeasement of grandmaster-level experts had increased by more than one level.
Although the breach of the Canglong River was a coincidence, the martial arts of the grandmasters were divine. There were many people who could trigger the celestial phenomena with their own strength. If they suddenly attracted heavy rain or hail, it would be a disaster for the ordinary people. It was really necessary to guard against it.
Thieves who steal the country will harm millions of people at most.
If a grandmaster level expert were to go berserk, it would be extremely dangerous!
With such a heavy responsibility on their shoulders, how could the chief constable and the two Wandering Gods have the time to care about other trivial matters?
Therefore, the official affairs of Six Fan School were usually handled by the nine titled constables.
Grand Xia was vast, and the prison was divided into eight regions.
One of the nine titled constables was in charge of the capital city while the rest were in charge of one area.
Currently, the person in charge of the capital city was called Ji Yuanjie, who was also known as the Frenzied Sword Arrester.
This person had been in charge of the Jianghu affairs near the Imperial Capital for twelve years. His martial arts skills were unfathomable, and few Jianghu people who came to the Imperial Capital in the past twelve years dared to harass the civilians.
Although Ji Yuanjie's gold and silver medals were also greedy, they were all doing real things.
It was not empty talk that the Six Fan School did not raise trash!
Compared to the Six Fan School, the constables of the wooden, iron, and bronze plates under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice were not only greedy, but also did not do anything practical.
Not only did they not do anything, but some people liked to frame good people, deceive their superiors and subordinates, kidnap and extort.
Because of the Tingzhou tax case, Zhang Chen's current identity was a little special.
Li You and Ji Yuanjie both knew that Zhang Chen was going to be promoted, but they weren't sure where exactly he would be promoted to.
Was he promoted to a Bronze Arrester? Or a silver constable?
No one knew!
Being promoted to Bronze Arrester meant that Zhang Chen would only be in charge of administrative cases and public security cases in the future. From then on, he would have to deal with the officials of the imperial court and ordinary people. Whether he could interact with the Jianghu people would depend on fate.
Being promoted to a Silver Constable meant that Zhang Chen would only be responsible for cases related to Jianghu people in the future. In other words, he would join the Six Fan School. From then on, he would have no chance of being an official. He could only be a half-Jianghu person and a martial arts constable with little status.
He didn't know where Zhang Chensheng was, so he naturally couldn't arrange any missions.
Of course, it was also possible to forcefully assign Zhang Chen a task. The problem was, would doing so offend him?
Knowing that Zhang Chen could be promoted and that the current Emperor would value him, why would Li You and Ji Yuanjie risk offending Zhang Chen and assign him a mission?
Therefore, in a situation where they were uncertain, the two of them simply did not do anything.
It was also because they did not understand Zhang Chen. If they had communicated with Zhang Chen, they would not have been so conflicted.
At this moment, Zhang Chen was very bored. He was eager to have a case fall on his head.
Unfortunately, his two superiors did not understand him.
Taking the initiative to ask for a case was stealing someone's job. He was not a beggar, so he definitely would not do that.
Ye Qingxian was equally bored.
Princess Kagura gave Ye Qingxian a few days off because of her meritorious service in the Tingzhou tax case.
Therefore, Zhang Chen could see Ye Qingxian on the street every day for the past few days.
Whether it was intentional or just a coincidence, everyone had their own opinions.
Zhang Chen didn't think too much about it. It was a good thing to have a beautiful woman accompanying him every day. He didn't think too much about it.
Ye Qingxian and Zhang Chen had nothing else to do. They either patrolled the streets together, ate, and drank tea. They could either find a place to spar and talk about the characteristics of the martial arts of the major sects in the martial arts world.
Zhang Chen would definitely not reject the latter. His martial arts skills came too easily, and he just happened to lack experience in fighting.
No matter how profound the internal energy and exquisite the moves were, they had to be controlled by people.
Zhang Chen's internal energy and moves were obviously not bad, but it was hard to say how much power he could unleash in actual combat.
When to use which move, this required a wealth of experience as a reference.
Facing the same opponent, an inexperienced person might need 100 moves to defeat him, but an experienced person might be able to defeat him in three to five moves.
Other than hands-on experience, the characteristics of the martial arts of the major sects in Jianghu were also a blind spot for Zhang Chen. His father was only an iron-plate constable and had not come into contact with many Jianghu people.
Ye Qingxian came from the Sword Sect, so she was at least many times better than Zhang Chen.
Under such circumstances, communicating with Ye Qingxian would obviously benefit him greatly.
