Chapter 100 Four Kills (Please subscribe, please collect, please vote for the monthly ticket and recommend the ticket)
South City.

Inside an inconspicuous pub.

The pub looked ordinary from the outside, and its interior was just as ordinary as its exterior. There were a dozen or so tables with obvious signs of use, and the surface areas were greasy and slippery.

This dirty-looking pub is usually packed with people, and it is almost impossible to find an empty table.

Without him.

It’s just because this is the gathering point for ghostwriters in South City.

The owner of this tavern may not be very powerful, but his network of contacts is definitely outstanding, otherwise he would not be able to serve as a bridge between the employer and the ghostwriter.

There are generally two ways for ghostwriters to take on commissions and make money.

The first one is to capture the criminals on the wanted list and take them to the government in exchange for a reward.

This type of work requires extremely high skills from the ghostwriter.

After all, the criminals who make it onto the wanted list are not too weak.

The second way is to go through middlemen and accept tasks issued by wealthy and powerful customers.

These tasks are varied, ranging from bodyguards delivering goods to revenge killings, and all kinds of dirty and tiring work.

A ghostwriter is supposed to do things that others are unwilling or inconvenient to do.

Strictly speaking, they also walk between black and white. Even if they are not bad people, they live in the gray area.

at dusk.

A figure appeared at the door of the tavern, carrying a bag on his back. Judging from the shape of the bag, there was a person inside.

The moment the figure appeared, the originally noisy tavern suddenly became quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

boom!
The man threw his pockets on the counter.

“The man has been caught, let’s inspect the goods.”

Su Mu said calmly.

hiss!
There was a sound of people gasping for air in the tavern.

“How many times has this happened?”

Someone whispered.

“In five days, I completed twenty tasks, which means an average of four tasks per day!”

A ghostwriter in his forties said with a look of amazement.

“I calculated that in these five days, he has transferred at least 700 taels of silver!”

The other ghostwriter licked his lips with a look of envy.

“This guy is really incomparable. He was a constable and was able to become the head of the police at a young age. Even if he couldn’t make it in the South City Division, he could still become successful so quickly as a ghostwriter. It’s amazing!”

An older ghostwriter sighed.

Although they are both ghostwriters, he may not be able to earn as much money in a month as others can in five days.

He was not the only one who had the same idea. Almost all the ghostwriters in the tavern had the same idea.

It’s not that they don’t want to take on more tasks.

But a person’s energy and ability are limited. Even if they take on the task, they don’t have the ability to complete it so quickly.

“You guys, don’t just envy them for making money. You don’t see how hard they work to complete the mission. While you are chatting and drinking here, they are doing the mission. While you are sleeping with women, they are still doing the mission.”

A big man said.

“If I had his talent, I would work so hard. I heard that when he was still the captain of the South City Division, he had already mastered the double sword moves.”

A ghostwriter said unconvincedly.

“With the level of effort you put in, it’s not even time to compete with your talent.”

Wei Yongfu curled his lips and said disdainfully.

When he met Su Mu, Su Mu was just a hunter who was not even a servant.

He also witnessed with his own eyes how Su Mu became the head of the Nancheng Division step by step, and he knew too well how hard Su Mu worked.

Whenever he was awake, he was either on duty or on his way to do something. Anyway, Wei Yongfu knew that he could not do it.

Su Mu should earn this money, but he can’t earn it anyway.

“So what? He couldn’t make it in Nancheng Division anymore, so he came here to be a ghostwriter, just like us.”

A ghostwriter said with jealousy in his eyes.

“What did you say?”

Wei Yongfu was furious, “Niu Kejiang, do you want to be beaten?”

“Why, the truth cannot be told?”

Niu Kejiang shrank his neck. He knew Wei Yongfu’s strength and thought he was no match for him. He was about to say something softly when suddenly a hand pressed on his shoulder, followed by a voice.

His eyes passed over Niu Kejiang’s body and fell on the person who was speaking.

The man was wearing the uniform of a constable, and behind him were three men wearing the uniforms of squad leaders.

Wei Yongfu’s brows suddenly frowned.

He Feng, the new chief constable of Nancheng Division!
The other three squad leaders were He Yu, He Lei and He Dian.

They were all family generals brought from the inner city by the new Sima of Nanchengsi.

These four people have become very famous in South City these days.

Just yesterday, the leader of the Huangsha Gang, whose strength had reached the second level of body tempering, was killed by He Feng in the street just because he contradicted him.

Wei Yongfu has broken through to the third level of body tempering and started to temper his tendons, but he is still unable to kill the leader of the Huangsha Gang with a single strike.

He thought to himself that he was definitely no match for He Feng.

“Why are you silent? Don’t you want to stand up for Su Mu? Go ahead and speak up. This captain is listening.”

He Feng said jokingly, “What? Su Mu is so overbearing. He committed crimes and was dismissed from his position as the head of the police. Can’t others say anything?
How come I don’t know this? When did this rule come into being in South City? “

Snapped!
He put one leg on the stool, leaned forward, and stared at Wei Yongfu with cold eyes.

“I–“

Veins on Wei Yongfu’s forehead were throbbing, he felt his blood boiling and clenched his fists in an instant.

“Is Captain He interrogating the prisoner?”

At this moment, Su Mu, who had just received the silver at the counter, quietly came to Wei Yongfu, patted his shoulder and motioned him to move aside first.

Turning his head to look at Su Mu, and seeing the meaning in his eyes, Wei Yongfu slowly loosened his fist and stood up to make way.

Su Mu dusted off his collar and calmly sat down on the stool opposite He Feng.

“How about Captain He interrogate me?”

Su Mu said slowly.

“What if I interrogate you? Do you think I dare not?”

He Feng snorted coldly.

He glanced at the purse that Su Mu placed on the table, and a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.

“Su Mu, I’m here on Sima’s orders, you’d better tell the truth!”

He Feng said in a cold voice, “Feiyun stole something from my He family. That thing is not yours to take. If you hand it over, then our He family will let you go as if nothing happened.

But if you still refuse to change your ways, don’t blame Nanjoji for settling accounts with you for what you did.”

“I don’t know what I have done.”

Su Mu said calmly, “How about you remind me, Captain?”

This is not the first time He Feng has approached him.

He Guangshao was so proud of his noble status that he didn’t even bother to come to Su Mu in person, but just sent He Feng over.

They had only one goal, which was to make Su Mu hand over the spoils seized from Feiyundao.

Su Mu brought back the heads of Yan Zhu, the leader of Feiyun Bandits, and Bao Tong, the second in command, to claim the reward. Su Mu did not deliberately conceal the news that Feiyun Bandits were completely wiped out.

He also underestimated the shamelessness of the He family, who even wanted to take possession of these captured items. Of course, he chose to refuse.

The He family is not his grandchildren, so there is no need for him to spoil the He family.

“Su Mu, it seems that you don’t want to drink the toast, so you have to drink the punishment.”

He Feng said coldly, “Third chance is better than last. I have given you three chances.

Since you don’t know how to cherish it, don’t blame me.”

He winked at He Yu, He Lei and He Dian behind him.

He Yu took a step forward and grabbed the purse on the table.

“All the stolen money on you will be confiscated!”

While catching, he also said.

All the ghostwriters in the tavern were stunned.

Regardless of whether they liked Su Mu or not, they were now shocked by the shamelessness of He Feng and his companions.

Stolen silver?

This is what Su Mu earned as a ghostwriter. He just received it from the shopkeeper. It is hard-earned money. How can it be stolen money?
If this is stolen silver, then wouldn’t all the silver on them be stolen silver?
Snapped!
Just as He Yu’s hand was about to fall on the silver bag, suddenly, a knife with its scabbard fell into He Yu’s hand.

No matter how hard He Yu tried, the knife didn’t move at all.

His face flushed red, but he still couldn’t take his hand back. He could only look to He Feng for help.

“Su Mu, you actually dared to attack the police in broad daylight, are you planning a rebellion?”

He Feng stared at Su Mu, a trace of fear flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he shouted loudly, “Don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you have some strength. Attacking an official is a capital crime!”

“Captain He, since you are well versed in the law, then may I ask, what is the crime of robbery in the street?”

Su Mu raised his arm.

He Yu was trying hard to pull his hand back, but he was caught off guard and used too much force, and fell to the ground.

He jumped up in shame and annoyance, staring at Su Mu angrily, but did not dare to attack again.

“Sima is right. You really won’t cry until you see the coffin.”

He Feng stared at Su Mu and suddenly shouted, “If you don’t want to die in Nanchengsi, get out of here!”

His voice was so loud that dust began to fall from the beams of the house.

Those ghostwriters were shocked.

After a moment of shock, everyone ran out of the tavern.

They become ghostwriters to make money, but they don’t want to offend the officials for no reason.

Wei Yongfu originally wanted to stay and help Su Mu, but Su Mu shook his head firmly at him.

He thought about it and felt that if he stayed he would only be a burden to Su Mu and he really couldn’t help, so he ran out too.

However, he did not go far away, but watched the movements in the tavern from a distance.

Su Mu sat there calmly, with no intention of leaving.

Seeing that they were the only ones left in the tavern, He Feng and the other three stood in four directions, all with swords drawn, staring at Su Mu with murderous eyes.

“Su Mu, I’m not afraid to tell you that the four of us brothers have been practicing the art of combined attack since we were young.”

He Feng said, “I admit that if we fight alone, each of us may not be your opponent, but if the four of us attack together, even if we have perfected our bone tempering, we are still your opponent!”

He Feng, He Yu, He Lei and He Dian all showed pride on their faces.

The four of them were selected at a young age to practice martial arts with He Guangshao, and they were also instructed by masters and mastered the art of combined attack.

When the four of them attacked together, even He Guangshao was no match for them.

The He family’s Blood Exchange Realm ancestor once said that if the four of them attacked together, they would be invincible in the Body Tempering Realm.

They didn’t believe that Su Mu could be a match for the four of them!
“I’m going to ask you one last time. Do you want to surrender and go to Nancheng Division to stand trial, or do we four brothers capture you and cut your tendons?”

He Feng and the other three began to slowly circle around Su Mu, constantly changing their hand positions.

“When will the constables be able to catch the Taiping Division’s white-clothed men?”

Su Mu still said calmly.

“Su Mu, the Taiping Division’s white-clothed men can scare others, but they can’t scare us.

Our Sima is also in white clothes from the Taiping Division!”

He Feng sneered, “If you were the Taiping Commander, we would naturally stay away from you, but you are just a Taiping Division Baiyi, our Sima is fully qualified to deal with you!”

“Misfortunes sent by heaven can be forgiven, but misfortunes brought upon oneself cannot be forgiven.”

Su Mu said slowly.

Before he finished speaking, Su Mu slapped his hand on the table.

With a bang, the cups, bowls and plates on the table were shaken and flew off the table.

“Do it!”

Almost at the same time, He Feng shouted.

He Feng, He Yu, He Lei and He Dian attacked together.

The four of them cooperated well and attacked at the same time, blocking Su Mu from all directions.

No matter Su Mu fought back or ran away, he would have no way to escape.

This is the art of combined attack!
At this moment, Su Mu still did not stand up. He stretched out his right hand and grabbed a pair of wooden chopsticks that were blown away by his palm just now.

The next moment, Su Mu swung his arm, and with the sound of a whip, the chopsticks in his hand flew out with a whistling sound.

The ordinary wooden chopsticks, like arrows shot from a powerful crossbow, made a sharp sound of breaking through the air and shot towards He Feng and the other three.

This move of scattering flowers directly and indiscriminately attacked four people.

He Feng snorted coldly. Even if his bones were tempered perfectly and he had extraordinary strength, so what if the chopsticks he threw out could pierce through the wooden board?
We four brothers are not fragile wooden boards. Can you really use chopsticks to pierce the steel knife in my hand?

A hint of disdain flashed across He Feng’s eyes, and he swung the steel knife in his hand towards the attacking wooden chopsticks.

Clang!
It exploded with a sound of metal clashing.

The wooden chopsticks broke into pieces and the debris flew everywhere.

At the same time, the steel knife in He Feng’s hand was broken.

If it was just a wooden chopstick, then He Feng did block it.

But Su Mu threw out more than one.

Just as the first wooden chopstick broke the steel knife in He Feng’s hand, the second wooden chopstick followed closely.

He Feng had no time to launch a second resistance and could only watch helplessly as the second chopstick sank into his heart.

“puff.”

He Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered back a few steps, and then fell to his knees on the ground.

He Yu, He Lei, and He Dian, the experiences of the three were almost exactly the same as He Feng’s.

At this moment, they all fell to the ground, with only one breath left, and their faces were full of disbelief.

The ghostwriters outside the pub were all stunned. They thought it would be a fierce fight, but it ended with just a pair of chopsticks?
Are He Feng and the other three too weak?
No, it’s Su Mu who is too strong!

“you,”

Su Mu stood up slowly and said, “I know nothing about the power of artistic conception.”

“Since He Guangshao wants me to go to Nanchengsi, I will go there now and listen to what he wants to say.”

Su Mu picked up the purse on the table and walked out slowly.

He Feng looked at Su Mu’s back, raised his hand with difficulty, his face full of horror, and said, “Don’t hurt my young master!”

These last words remained forever in He Feng’s throat and could never be uttered again.

Pfft!
Four sounds of falling to the ground almost merged into one, without any wind, rain, thunder or lightning, and he died.
