Chen Xiao's appearance made everyone in the room stunned.

Especially Zhao Bantou and Zhou Bantou immediately realized that they were being followed by Chen Xiao!

On the bed, Li Bantou looked a little at a loss, and a look of panic appeared on his wounded face.

The woman and the old woman looked at Chen Xiao in confusion.

"Big...sir..."

Zhou Bantou and Zhao Bantou bowed, and Li Bantou also spoke weakly on the bed:

"Sir... why are you here..."

Chen Xiao said calmly: "If I don't come, I'm afraid no one will tell me what's going on. Li Bantu, you said, who made you like this? Why don't you tell me?"

On the bed, Li Bantou hurriedly said, "Sir, I just fell..."

"Stop talking, do you think I, Chen Xiao, are so easy to fool? To be honest!" Chen Xiao scolded.

However, Li Banto said: "It's really... I fell myself..."

Chen Xiao looked at Zhou Bantou and Zhao Bantou: "Tell me both of you!"

"This..." Zhou Bantuo and Zhao Bantuo were both embarrassed. This made Chen Xiao feel more and more that things were not simple.

"Do you think this can be hidden from me?" Chen Xiao frowned.

"Sir, it's not that we don't want to say it, but... we can't say it, don't force us..." Zhou Bantou spoke.

Zhao Banto also said: "Yes, sir, we are in a difficult situation, alas..."

Chen Xiao was silent, nodded, and said, "Okay..."

Then he took out a silver note of 100 taels from his sleeve, threw it on the table, and turned around and left!

"Sir~ You..." The woman hurriedly wanted to give Chen Xiao the silver notes.

Chen Xiao reached out to stop him and then left the house.

In the room, Zhao Bantou and Zhou Bantou breathed a sigh of relief. On the bed, Li Bantou sighed.

The old woman wiped her tears and said, "Son, your boss is a good person..."

Outside the room, Chen Xiao did not leave. Hearing this sentence, he took a deep breath before leaving.

He did not go back to the restaurant, but returned to the government office.

When he arrived at the government office, Chen Xiao found a Zaoli who was still on duty, asked him to come over and said:

"Why didn't you tell me about Li Bantu, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

This inexplicable sentence instantly made Zaoli stunned and said, "Sir, do you know everything?"

"I understand, why do you have to hide it from me?" Chen Xiao asked inducely.

"This... sir, we can't afford to offend you, but you are too aggressive and too upright. Everyone is afraid that you will be too impulsive, so..." Zaoli lowered her head.

Chen Xiao frowned and said, "Tell me about the specifics, what happened!"

He actually didn't know anything, but these few words seemed to know a rough idea, so after saying this, Zaoli thought he already knew it, so he would talk about the details.

So he spoke: "That's right. You left the government office in the morning. Didn't you let us go on inspection? Li Bantou and his constable were patrolling the streets. He met an old man in his fifties and teased the girl with a few evil slaves on the street.

Li Ban head led people to stop him and wanted to catch the old man. Unexpectedly, the evil slaves under him were very good at martial arts. Li Ban head and several constables were not opponents, but were beaten instead."

Chen Xiao frowned: "Even so, why not come back to report?"

Zaoli sighed and said, "Sir, that old man has an extraordinary identity. Originally, Li Bantou and the others were beaten, and the nearby constables rushed over immediately.

But at this time, the city patrol officer of the city patrol government came with some city patrol guards, bowed to the old man, and even confronted us constable."

Chen Xiao frowned: "Do you dare to confront you? Have you turned against them?"

The so-called patrol government office is a separate patrol department specially established by the imperial capital.

If the constables of the Imperial Capital Office are criminal police, Zaoli is bailiff, and militia is special police.

Then, the city guards are patrol police or auxiliary police!

The main task of patrol and guards is to inspect the imperial capital, maintain public order, coordinate some minor disputes, and handle some minor emergencies.

It is very complicated, but it has little power. Basically, the patrol guards do not have a knife, but only a stick or a ruler.

The reason is very simple. They have very little power. When dealing with problems, they cannot use force unless they encounter thieves and murderers. However, they can only use sticks or iron rulers and cannot hurt people's lives.

In modern terms, if a criminal police officer or a bailiff has a gun, it means that a detective and a militia have a knife.

The use of sticks or iron rulers for patrol guards is the same as the use of batons and electric batons for modern patrol police.

In addition, although the Xuncheng Prefecture is also a small government office, it is also under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Capital Prefecture.

It’s just that there is a separate small government office, and the small government office is not in the Imperial Capital Office.

So, in terms of calculation, the seventh-rank city patrol officer of the City Guardian is also a subordinate of Chen Xiao.

After all, your city patrol officer is just a security captain, but Chen Xiao is the director of the public security bureau and the president of the court.

Therefore, when Chen Xiao heard the city patrol officer leading people to confront the constable, he said, "I've turned against them."

At this moment, Zaoli continued, "The city patrol officer knew the old man and was extremely polite to him, and he didn't even take us seriously."

"So who is that old man?" Chen Xiao asked.

Zaoli sighed helplessly: "I heard that the city patrolman called the old man Hu Tianyou Hu Guozhang..."

"Birdsman?"

Chen Xiao was stunned and was indeed shocked.

The so-called father-in-law refers to the emperor's father-in-law, that is, the queen's father-in-law.

The first thing Chen Xiao thought of was Long Jiuling’s grandfather.

Because the emperor of the Dragon Kingdom only has one queen, that is Long Jiuling's mother.

So the father-in-law is just the grandfather of Long Jiuling?

Chen Xiao couldn't accept it anymore. Is Long Jiuling's grandfather such a villain?

"Are you sure he is the father-in-law?" Chen Xiao asked.

Zaoli nodded: "That's right, that Hu Tianyou called himself the father-in-law, and the city inspector was so polite to him, absolutely not wrong!"

After saying that, he was suddenly stunned: "Sir, you... didn't you say you know? You... don't know?"

Chen Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "So, was Li Bantou beaten by the father-in-law or the city inspector?"

"At the beginning, it was a man from the father-in-law. After the inspector came, he did not stop him. He also said he should be beaten. He also left and kicked Li Ban's head a few times. At this time, Li Ban's head was already dying..."

When Zaoli said this, she seemed to think of that scene, with anger on her face.

"Just watch?" Chen Xiao asked.

"Uh... we want to do it, but the number of guards in the city is large and stalemates is with us. Li Bantu on the ground doesn't let us do it..."

Zaoli sighed and continued, "He probably knew the identity of the father-in-law and knew that he couldn't afford to offend him, so... so I don't want everyone to provoke him..."

Chen Xiao snorted and said, "I'm confused, what does it mean to be unable to provoke me? It is because you law enforcement officers can't afford to provoke me at any time and dare not provoke me, so there are so many bullies who bully others with power!"

Zaoli lowered her head and didn't speak.
