Chen Yan just wanted to keep the small courtyard left by his father and support his young sister.
But in the last years of the dynasty, the river transport was corrupt and gangs were rampant. He is just an unregistered officer of the River Port Inspection Department of Linjiang County. He wears an official coat that does not count. He patrols the river at night, inspects boats, moves corpses, and detects smuggling. During the day, he is forced to the door by old debts.
In his previous life, he wrote about martial arts heroes, but in this life, he has mediocre abilities and has no hope of practicing martial arts. He can only bow his head in the muddy water of the dock to survive.
It wasn't until he returned from a river patrol that he opened the incomplete martial arts "Iron Bone Clothes" that he had captured, and the old book that had been dormant for many years finally came to light in his mind.
Practicing martial arts can increase experience, patrolling rivers can improve skills, moving corpses can strengthen courage, and anti-smuggling can gain meritorious service.
From then on, the dirty work, dangerous work, and life-and-death work that others avoided became the ladder for Chen Yan to climb up.
The gang kicked down doors and he practiced boxing.
His superiors deducted money, but he made meritorious deeds.
There is a corpse hidden in the dock, and he investigates the case.
In a troubled world, there is no rule, so he will carve out a rule for himself with one knife after another.
Many years later, the rivers and rivers were thousands of miles away, and all the heroes bowed their heads.
Someone asked him why he went from being a small servant to what he is today.
Chen Yan pressed the knife and smiled:
"I just patrol farther than others every night."
