Chapter 77 Special Envoy
Early the next morning.
When Shan Yaowen got up, the brazier had already gone out.
The old wolf is here too, and he's snoring right now.
I don't know what time he went to sleep last night.
Shan Yaowen got up and dressed quietly, but unexpectedly woke up Officer Lin next to him.
"So early?" Officer Lin rubbed his sleepy eyes, looking at Shan Yaowen who was already dressed. "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
"I'm used to it. I always get up early to work at home." Shan Yaowen rubbed his face.
When he's at home, he gets up early to shovel snow. After shoveling snow at home, there's the sheep pen to shovel, and after shoveling snow on his own property, there's the village's collective road to shovel. He has to shovel snow all morning at home, so he gets up a little earlier than usual.
"Okay, I'll sleep a little longer. It's rare that I don't have to get up early to work." Lin Gong'an turned over, curled up into a ball, and then shrank back into the blanket.
Seeing them fast asleep, Shan Yaowen didn't know what to do, so he decided to go out and take a look.
He hadn't really looked at the county town properly yet.
However, his plan to go out for a stroll was thwarted as soon as he reached the door.
The snow fell much heavier, and many people were shoveling snow in the yard. When Shan Yaowen saw this, he joined the snow-shoveling team without saying a word.
"You're that bird herder, right?" Someone nearby immediately recognized Shan Yaowen when they saw him join the snow shoveling team.
At last night's celebration banquet, many people might not recognize the name Shan Yaowen, but they do know that there is such a person who raised giant eagles and cracked down on the hideout of that gang of criminals.
"If there's no other bird owner here, then the one you're talking about must be me," Shan Yaowen said with a smile, nodding to the person next to him.
"It really is you, Shan... Shan Yaowen, right?"
"Yes, it's me."
"Oh, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, we might still be wandering around in the mountains."
"Everyone worked hard, everyone worked hard, I was just lucky."
"By the way, why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
"I'm used to getting up early, and seeing everyone shoveling snow, I decided to join in."
"Not bad, not bad~"
As Shan Yaowen chatted with the police officer next to him, he shoveled snow, and before he knew it, he had cleared the snow off a wall.
Shan Yaowen didn't have time to go shopping, since breakfast was about to start.
When Shan Yaowen sat down to eat, an elderly man sat down opposite him with a tray of food.
"Leader?" Shan Yaowen recognized the old man; when Lao Lang brought him to the county public security bureau, this was the first person he met.
The head of the county public security bureau.
"Hey, stop calling me 'leader,' my surname is Zhang, and my given name is Jiu." The old man smiled. "Would you be interested in having breakfast with this old man?"
"Okay, Director Zhang, please have a seat." Shan Yaowen stood up and gestured for him to sit down.
"Why are you being so polite?" Zhang Jiu chuckled as he sat down opposite Shan Yaowen. "What made you decide to shovel snow so early in the morning?"
"Oh, I'm used to waking up early at home. I was thinking of taking a stroll around the banner since I've come all this way, but when I saw people shoveling snow, I went to help."
"You seem to really enjoy working."
Shan Yaowen smiled but didn't say anything.
After praising him, Director Zhang continued, "You performed well in this mission. Su Lang told me about it. Would you be interested in becoming a special envoy?"
"Special envoy?" Shan Yaowen was taken aback.
He never expected such good fortune to fall upon him.
"Yes, it would have been possible to make an exception and accept you as a police officer, but since you have other requests, we can only settle for being a special commissioner first."
Shan Yaowen naturally knew what "having ulterior motives" meant. If it weren't for his brother-in-law's matter, he might not have come here at all.
"Um, does the special envoy have to go to work?" Shan Yaowen hesitated for a moment and did not answer immediately.
For him, becoming an unofficial contract worker was not as profitable as running his own ranch. As for becoming a formal police officer from a special commissioner, not everyone has that opportunity.
At least Shan Yaowen himself never thought of starting as a grassroots police officer. His wish was to open a large ranch, raise a herd of cattle, horses and sheep, and live a leisurely life with his family.
"Don't you want to go to work?" Zhang Jiu couldn't help but glance at Shan Yaowen.
If I'm not mistaken, the people below are probably just hoping for a stable job right now.
Although special envoys are not currently part of the formal public security system, they can definitely be promoted to a permanent position after accumulating a few years of experience.
"No, it's not that. The main responsibility of public security special commissioners is to protect the people, and I don't think I can do that."
"Oh, that's fine. You don't need to go to work. Just keep in touch with the town's police station. If anything happens in the village, report it promptly or handle it yourself. When you're not busy, just do your own work."
Dan Yaowen hesitated for a moment. It sounded good, but there were no benefits for doing the work. Was this a case of someone trying to get something for nothing?
"Besides that, although there's no salary, you'll receive a monthly benefit: a 20 yuan allowance for special envoys. You'll also have plenty of rice, flour, and alcohol during holidays," Director Zhang said slowly after taking a sip of porridge, seemingly noticing Shan Yaowen's hesitation.
"That will work too," Shan Yaowen readily agreed.
If there are benefits, then things are much easier to discuss.
Although it wasn't much, it was still a government job.
Moreover, having official backing will make things much easier for me in the future.
Although he doesn't want a political career, he knows that to live well in this society, it's essential to maintain good relations with the authorities.
Although a public security special commissioner is at the very bottom of the public security system, once word gets out, anyone who wants to take action against you will have to think twice.
After all, taking action against you is tantamount to making an enemy of the public security system.
Seeing that Shan Yaowen agreed, Zhang Jiu nodded and finished the last bit of porridge in his bowl. "Okay, the documents will be delivered to you this afternoon. You can take this time to look around."
"Besides, the entire banner and county is covered in snow right now, and there's no sign of things getting better."
After saying that, the director picked up his bowl and chopsticks, which he had used for breakfast, and left.
Shan Yaowen, on the other hand, was thinking about becoming a special police commissioner.
I never expected to have such a pleasant surprise during this trip.
The bureau chief was referring to the afternoon, but actually, after he went to have his photo taken in the morning, someone delivered the gun and his identification documents to him at noon.
"I can still carry a gun?"
Looking at the Type 54 pistol that was delivered along with the documents, Shan Yaowen asked Lao Lang a question.
Old Wolf slept until noon and only just got up now. He just went to the canteen and got two steamed buns, which he is now eating with plain water.
"Yes, but don't fire indiscriminately. Your gun has a code, and you have to report how many bullets you fire. You can carry it with you normally, but you have to report it every time you fire a shot."
Old Wolf hadn't expected the director to think so highly of Shan Yaowen, directly granting him the title of special envoy. He had thought that at most, he would just help Shan Yaowen get his brother-in-law out and give him some reward to get rid of him.
"Speaking of which, your special envoy position is still based in Kushetu Town, making you one of my subordinate special envoys."
Shan Yaowen never expected that he would become Lao Lang's subordinate.
"By the way, your brother-in-law should be arriving this afternoon. Shall we go back together then?"
"Okay."
After speaking, Shan Yaowen hesitated for a moment, "Still taking the motorcycle?"
"Otherwise what?"
"The motorcycle has been driven out, can't it be driven back?"
Shan Yaowen: ...
In the afternoon, Shan Yaowen finally saw his brother-in-law.
When Zhang Du arrived, he looked much more dejected and disheveled.
Upon seeing his brother-in-law, Zhang Du almost burst into tears; only God knows what kind of life he had been living these past few days.
He didn't even have time to say anything when he was arrested; he was immediately loaded onto a truck and sent away. He thought he would have to work in the dark and hopeless conditions of the ranch for the rest of his life, but his brother-in-law was incredibly resourceful and managed to get him out.
"Brother-in-law, let's talk about it when we get back."
Shan Yaowen patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder, then looked at Lao Lang and sincerely thanked him.
When Zhang Du learned that it was Su Lang in front of him who had done the work, he was almost ready to kneel down and kowtow to him, which made the old wolf feel embarrassed.
