“He, Su Mu, wants to catch Li Chuan’s accomplices? What a joke!”

In a luxuriously decorated, brightly lit room in Dongcheng District.

A shirtless man threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground and cursed.

“Who is Li Chuan’s accomplice? Isn’t it Su Mu who has the final say? This is simply taking advantage of the situation!”

The middle-aged man said coldly, “This Su Mu looks young, but I didn’t expect him to be so experienced.

He is now using the excuse of arresting Lichuan’s accomplices. If he is not allowed to enter any place in Dongcheng District, he can slander them by accusing them of harboring Lichuan’s accomplices.

well!”

The middle-aged man’s face was gloomy. With this excuse, Dongcheng Si suddenly had a lot more room for maneuver.

Even if the various forces in Nancheng District are secretly at odds with the government, they will not give the government any handle in public.

In the past, Xu Guang, the old Sima of Dongcheng Division, was a straight-A person. He had no way to deal with the various forces in Dongcheng District. One reason was that Dongcheng Division was not as powerful as the various forces, and the other was that he had never been able to find any handle on the various forces.

Now there comes Sima who is too young, but unexpectedly he acts so cunningly. He is much more difficult to deal with than the old-fashioned Xu Guang.

“President, how should we deal with this? Should we ask the adults in the inner city to put pressure on him?”

Someone across from the man whispered.

“Humph, disturbing the adults in the inner city for such a small matter, what do you think they will think?”

The shirtless man snorted, “Will they think we are just a bunch of trash?
Besides, how do you want them to put pressure on this matter?
Even the city lord is speechless about arresting Li Chuan’s accomplices. Who dares to put pressure on him now? Does it mean that Li Chuan’s resurrection is related to someone?

Who dares to touch this matter? “

The inner city is not peaceful at all. The four major families are fighting openly and secretly. Privately releasing a murderer on the wanted list is a serious crime. Whoever touches the upper level is obviously handing an handle to the enemy, isn’t it?

Now, even the four major families in the inner city, regardless of whether they have any relationship with Lichuan or not, will distance themselves from him, and no one will interfere with Su Mu’s actions.

“What a great move!”

Ma Shuangcheng, the president of Ronghua Club, who was shirtless, also felt a headache. “Tell them to be quiet these days and clean up your own asses. Let Su investigate whatever he wants to investigate. Hide your tails well.

He won’t stay in East City for long, so what if he can be proud for a while?”

The man opposite had an embarrassed look on his face. If they really did that, they wouldn’t be able to do many things for the time being, and that would be a big loss.

However, seeing Ma Shuangcheng’s cold expression, he nodded.

“I’ll go and notify them right away.”

…………

The same scene was happening simultaneously in several other places in Dongcheng District.

The Ronghua Society, the Qingcha Sect, and some other small gangs all ceased their activities overnight, as if they had become good citizens.

By the next morning, when hundreds of detectives from the Dongcheng Division gathered in the spacious square in front of the main building, the streets of Dongcheng District were much cleaner than usual.

“Your Excellency, all the detectives of the East City Division have now assembled. Please give the order!”

Captain Chen Song said loudly.

He rushed back from the inner city early in the morning, and as soon as he came back, he received the news that Su Mu had summoned all the detectives.

He didn’t dare to stay for a moment and went to the yamen immediately.

He first reported to Su Mu about his visit to the He family in the inner city yesterday. After he arrived at the He family, the He family received him warmly and forced him to stay in the inner city for one night.

During this period, it was natural that she launched an offensive against him for money and sex.

Although Chen Song was very tempted, he still refused the He family’s recruitment.

There was no way. He had already leaned towards the Luo family, and there was no way he would lean towards the He family. Being a slave of two families would not have a good ending.

He told Su Mu everything in detail without hiding anything.

“Captain Chen, from today on, you and the seven squad leaders will lead the patrol three times a day, morning, noon and evening. All streets in Dongcheng District must be patrolled.

Any suspicious places must be searched, any suspicious people must be arrested, and anyone who obstructs the work of the East City Division must be severely punished!”

Su Mu said in a resounding voice.

Chen Song and the others all looked serious.

If these three things can be achieved, Dongcheng District will truly become the world of Dongchengsi.

“Sir, what if the Ronghua Society and the Qingcha Sect try to stop us?”

Chen Song asked hesitantly.

“Don’t you understand? Anyone who obstructs the East City Division from handling the case must be severely punished. Those who refuse to change their ways after three declarations will be beheaded.”

Su Mu said coldly.

“What if we can’t defeat him?”

A squad leader said weakly.

“Remember, you represent the East City Division and the Great Mysterious Law. If you can’t defeat them, there’s me. If I can’t defeat them, there’s the City Lord’s Mansion. If the City Lord’s Mansion can’t defeat them, there’s still the Taiping Division.”

Su Mu said coldly.

“Yes!”

The detectives were so excited that they shouted at the top of their lungs, their voices breaking through the sky.

…………

“Sir, aren’t the scope of these three “whatevers” too broad?

In case someone gets desperate——”

Seeing hundreds of constables leaving the yamen in a menacing manner and pouring into the streets like countless streams, Yu Xiujiang said with some concern.

He really didn’t expect that Su Mu would be so decisive and efficient and cause such a big fuss on the second day after taking office.

If this were to cause a riot, even Sima of the Dongcheng Division would not be able to handle it.

“Desperate dogs will jump over the wall. I’m afraid they won’t jump.”

Su Mu said calmly, “If they don’t do anything desperate, I won’t be able to catch them. If they do, it will be easier to kill them.

Yu Sicheng, you are not a warrior, you don’t understand these things.”

Yu Xiujiang was speechless. Is this a question of whether I understand martial arts?

“Yu Sicheng, what forces in Dongchengsi are related to the He family?”

Su Mu asked casually.

“Sir, isn’t this a bit too much?”

Yu Xiujiang said cautiously, Sima Su, you are too vindictive.

If Su Mu knew what Yu Xiujiang was thinking, he would just roll his eyes at him.

Everyone is about to kill him, so why should he give them face?
Since the situation has become a fight to the death, we will naturally use all our strength.

He couldn’t bring down the He family in the inner city for the time being, but he could try to break one of his arms.

“Don’t misunderstand me, Yu Sicheng. I have absolutely no intention of seeking revenge. I just think that there is a high possibility that Li Chuan’s accomplices are hiding in those places.”

Su Mu said seriously.

…………

“Captain Chen, you have come to the wrong place to arrest the murderer. I only sell some ironware here. If you want iron pots and kitchen knives, I have them here. But I don’t have any murderers.”

A short and fat middle-aged man dressed like a shopkeeper, with a hint of arrogance, blocked Chen Song and others at the door.

“Whether there is a murderer hiding or not, we will know after we investigate.”

Chen Song held the hilt of the knife and said in a cold voice, “Does Manager Wei want to prevent the East City Division from doing its job?”

Sonorous!

The detectives behind Chen Song half-drew their knives, looking very ferocious.

Shopkeeper Wei showed no fear on his face and sneered.

“Captain Chen is so powerful now!”

Shopkeeper Wei said coldly, “You can search here, but I have to be frank. Although we are a small shop, we do have quite a few valuable items.

If there is any loss, I can ask you, Captain Chen, for help.

We cooperate with the East City Division to do our job, but we can’t let anyone ride on our heads and poop and piss on us.”

Shopkeeper Wei stepped aside to make way.

The shirtless apprentices behind him all stood aside with their arms folded, looking at Chen Song and others with a sneer.

These apprentices were used to blacksmithing, and had lumps of flesh and oily skin, making them look much stronger than the constables.

A group of detectives walked into the shop and felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by so many young and strong men.

“Thank you, Manager Wei.”

Chen Song cupped his hands and said, “Search, don’t miss any corner!”

In the past, they would generally stay away from shops with such strong backgrounds and would definitely not come to search.

But this time, Sima Xiao Su gave a strict order to search every household.

So even though the shop owner and his employees were watching them eagerly, the detectives still searched the place from front to back.

“Captain Chen, be careful. If you break something, you won’t be able to pay for it with your salary for the rest of your life.”

The shopkeeper crossed his arms and said sarcastically.

“Then don’t worry about it, Manager Wei.” Chen Song said expressionlessly.

“Captain, we found a batch of blue gold!”

A moment later, a constable ran over from the backyard with an excited look on his face, holding a small bag in his hand.

Some things in the Daxuan Dynasty are controlled items, such as certain medicinal herbs, certain metals, and materials dropped by certain monsters and demons, etc.

Lapis lazuli is a controlled metal. According to the Great Xuan Law, private use by the public is prohibited.

“Manager Wei, what do you say?”

Chen Song took the bag of blue gold, weighed it, and found it weighed about two or three pounds. He looked at Shopkeeper Wei and said.

“According to the Great Mysterious Law, private use of sapphire will result in confiscation of the sapphire and a fine of ten gold coins.”

Manager Wei was not at all flustered, and said calmly, “Since Captain Chen likes this little bit of blue gold, then I’ll give it to Captain Chen.

Besides, this is a fine!”

He turned around, took out a gold ingot from the counter and threw it on the ground.

Chen Song’s face turned extremely ugly.

Wei Zhankui’s attitude was extremely insulting.

But Chen Song had no way to deal with him.

What Wei Zhankui said was absolutely correct. The most that could be done for private use of lapis lazuli would be a fine.

For this weapon forging shop that made a fortune every day, that was just a drop in the bucket.

“Captain!”

A constable picked up the gold on the ground and handed it to Chen Song.

“I have it. I will give it to the Minister of the Ministry of Justice when we get back to the government office.”

Chen Song said, suppressing his anger.

Wei Zhankui and the guys in the weapon forging shop laughed loudly, and their laughter was full of sarcasm.

Half an hour later, the detectives returned to Chen Song one after another.

Apart from finding a few more banned metals, no other illegal activities were discovered.

These prohibited metals would at most result in a fine, which could be used as an excuse to take down the weapon forging shop.

Wei Zhankui didn’t hesitate at all and directly threw out the fine.

“go!”

Chen Song asked his men to take the fine and leave the blacksmith shop.

“Captain Chen, please wait a moment.”

Wei Zhankui suddenly said, “You did search our shop, but it seems a little inappropriate for you to just leave like this, right?”

“What do you mean?”

Chen Song stopped, turned and looked at Wei Zhankui and said coldly.

“Just now, when Captain Chen’s men searched our shop, a magical weapon was lost from our shop. I don’t know which of our brothers was so excited that he stole it.”

Wei Zhankui said, “If it is an ordinary weapon, we will give it to that brother.

But this magical weapon is worth a fortune, and I can’t just give it away for free.

Captain Chen, should we ask your brothers to hand over the things?”

“Manager Wei, my brothers would never do such a thing, please stop slandering them!”

Chen Song said coldly.

“Today, only Captain Chen and you have been to our weapon forging shop. If you are not one of your people, could it be that my people stole the goods?”

Wei Zhankui sneered, “This is actually easy to handle.

Captain Chen, you and your brothers should take off your clothes so that we can see clearly, right? “

“We are all men here anyway, so you don’t have to worry about being taken advantage of, Captain Chen.”

The servants and apprentices burst into laughter.

Chen Song’s face was as gloomy as rain, “Wei Zhankui, you are so outrageous!”

“I’m being presumptuous? Does Captain Chen want to bully others by taking advantage of his power?”

Wei Zhankui smiled coldly, “Then you chose the wrong place. I am not afraid to tell you that the magic weapon is a birthday gift for Mr. He’s family in the inner city.

“Your East City Constable stole my family’s magic weapon. Even if you report it to the City Lord, I, Wei Zhankui, will not be afraid at all!”

“you–“

Chen Song was furious.

He was naturally aware of these people’s methods, and it was hard to tell whether they had stolen any of the magic weapons.

Who knows whether there are any so-called magic weapons in this weapon forging shop!

Not to mention taking off all the clothes, even if Wei Zhankui searched them, Dongchengsi’s face would be completely humiliated.

The big move that Su Sima had finally seized the opportunity to launch ended in a whimper.

Chen Song immediately realized the thorny nature of the situation and was caught in a dilemma.

“Captain Chen, why would you risk your life for just a few dozen taels of silver a month?”

Wei Zhankui sneered, “As long as you lower your head, I will give you that magic weapon, so what?”

“Wei Zhankui, don’t push me too far!”

Chen Song suppressed his anger and growled.

“It seems that Captain Chen still doesn’t understand the situation clearly.”

Wei Zhankui shook his head and said, “In that case, I will give you two options.

First, take off all your clothes and let me check you.

Second, Captain Chen, you must kowtow and admit your mistake.

Of course, you can also leave now, but don’t blame me for going to the gate of the City Lord’s Mansion in the inner city and beating drums to complain!”

“you–“

Chen Song’s face flushed red, and he wanted to draw his sword and chop Wei Zhankui right away, but he didn’t dare to do it.

Just when Chen Song was in a dilemma, a hand suddenly fell on his shoulder.

“Manager Wei, huh? Do you really want to go to this extent? Why don’t you give me some face?”

Chen Song turned around with some surprise, and saw Su Mu coming behind him at some point.

“Sima!”

Chen Song said in surprise.

Su Mu nodded and signaled them to step back.

“It turned out to be Xiao Su Sima.”

Wei Zhankui’s eyes showed a solemn look, and he said in a deep voice, “Of course I can give you face, but we can’t lose our weapon forging shop in vain. A thousand gold is not a small amount, don’t you think, Sima Su?
But since Xiao Su Sima has spoken, I will take a step back. Captain Chen and the others don’t need to take off their clothes. Just let me search them myself.”

Su Mu looked at Wei Zhankui with a calm expression.

Wei Zhankui looked directly into Su Mu’s eyes, his heart beating fast, but when he thought of the He family behind him, he felt confident again.

“Xiao Su Sima, I have given you face. If you disagree, then I can’t do anything. I can only let the city lord judge it.”

Wei Zhankui spread out his hands and said.

“Manager Wei, can you please spare me a moment to talk?”

Su Mu walked slowly to Wei Zhankui and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.

Seeing Su Mu’s attitude, Wei Zhankui sneered in his heart. Everyone says this little Su Sima is so experienced, but he still has to suffer a loss in front of me?

So what if you have strong force? Sometimes, you also need to have brains!
“What advice do you have, Sima Su?”

In broad daylight, he was not afraid of what Su Mu would do to him, so he came to the side with Su Mu and said.

“Manager Wei, what do you think this is?”

Su Mu suddenly lifted his clothes, took something from his waist, handed it to Wei Zhankui, and whispered.

“Demon-breaking Crossbow?”

Wei Zhankui glanced down and said subconsciously.

“Correct answer, but unfortunately there is no reward.”

Su Mu said calmly.

With a clang, the Autumn Water Knife was unsheathed and placed across Wei Zhankui’s neck.

“Stealing the Demon-Breaking Crossbow with the intention of assassinating Sima, Wei Zhankui, do you know that I can kill you right now?”

Su Mu shouted.

Wei Zhankui was stunned, his mouth dry for a moment. Frame-up? Is it so aboveboard?
