The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 169 Trap (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote for the monthly ticket)
Inside Wuling Taipingsi.

A group of people broke in.

They were wearing white police uniforms with the word "Supervision" embroidered on the front and back.

Although the uniform was also exquisitely made, it always gave people a feeling of being out of place compared to the uniform of the Taiping Division.

"Are you Su Mu? Come with us."

Wu Qiuyuan put his hand on the hilt of the knife and spoke slowly.

He was followed by four or five inspectors, including Wang Guan, who was winking at Su Mu frantically.

"Let's go, where to?"

Su Mu said calmly, "We in the Taiping Division are not as idle as your Supervisory Division. I still have a lot of things to do and I don't have time to chat with you."

"It's not up to you."

Wu Qiuyuan sneered, "Our Supervision Department is responsible for supervising illegal activities. Now I suspect that you have abused your power for personal gain and robbed the local government's city guards. You must return to accept investigation.

If this is true, then according to the Great Xuan Law, you will be severely punished."

"Where's the evidence?"

Su Mu said lightly.

He looked at Wu Qiuyuan, the new Inspector who had just arrived in Wuling City. He was much smarter than Dai Jin and others before him.

People like Dai Jin are just flowers and plants in a greenhouse. They were flattered in the Shennong Herb Sect, and when they became the Inspector General, they thought they were the boss and acted recklessly. They even wanted to compete directly with the Taiping Division. They had no idea of ​​their own strength at all.

Wu Qiuyuan was very smart. He knew how to do things within the rules, and every word he said was in line with the duties of the Supervisory Office and the Great Xuan Law.

This is a smart person.

After all, the Supervisory Department and the Taiping Department are both institutions of the Daxuan Dynasty. As long as the Supervisory Department does things according to the rules, the Taiping Department must treat them according to the rules no matter how high their military power is.

People like this are much more difficult to deal with than Dai Jin and others.

"Of course there is evidence."

Wu Qiuyuan said confidently, "The Wuling Town City Mystical Soldier, the Five Fires Shocking Heaven Bow, was the Mystical Soldier that Xiang Wentian, the leader of the Wenxiang Sect, used to wield in the world. After Xiang Wentian died in battle, the whereabouts of the Five Fires Shocking Heaven Bow became unknown.

It was not until seventeen years ago that Wuling City Lord Luo Yuxuan reported to the court that Wuling City had wiped out a group of remnants of the Wenxiang Sect and seized the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow from them.

The imperial court graciously granted the Five Fires Shocking Heaven Bow to the City Lord's Mansion of Wuling City to be used as a mysterious weapon to guard the city.

Therefore, the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow belongs to Wuling City.

The Taiping Division was stationed in Wuling City. According to the law, it was not allowed to harass local government officials without reason, nor was it allowed to privately transfer money or property from local government officials.

Although the Taiping Division can mobilize the power of local governments during wartime, the Level 5 Demon Tide has been over for so long, and the Five Fires Heaven Shocking Bow is still in your hands and has not been returned. I have enough reason to suspect you of forcibly seizing the Xuanbing of local governments. "

Su Mu looked at Wu Qiuyuan with a strange look on his face.

It was the first time he heard the origin of the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow.

This Wu Qiuyuan has indeed done his homework.

According to the Daxuan Law, forcibly occupying the local government's city guard Xuan soldiers is indeed a violation of the law.

If you don't weigh the bribes, they would weigh less than 4 taels. If you really weigh them, sometimes they would weigh more than 1,000 kilograms.

According to the value of the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow, if Su Mu was bitten to death, he would be punished even if he was the Taiping Captain.

The most important thing is that the Supervisory Office can use this as a breakthrough point to bite off a piece of meat from the Taiping Office.

After all, if you really look into an institution like the Taiping Division, you will find that various small problems are inevitable.

They are stationed in local areas, slaying demons and eliminating evil, so they are inevitably involved with local authorities in one way or another. How can they be divided so clearly?

"Captain Su, the Five Fires Sky-shaking Bow is still in your hands. Are you trying to deny it?"

Wu Qiuyuan said coldly, "Although I admit that you, Captain Su, have made contributions in defending the city, but merits are merits and faults are faults. If everyone is like you, Captain Su, who thinks of his merits and takes the court's things for himself, then where are the rules? Where are the laws?

The purpose of our Supervision Department's existence is to investigate and punish all illegal activities and safeguard the dignity of the imperial court!"

“You can resist arrest, but everything you do will become evidence in court.

In that case, I will ask the Fourth-Rank Supervisor of the Wuling Supervisory Department, Mr. Wu Yiqi, to personally arrest you."

Wu Qiuyuan said.

He only brought four or five people with him and had no intention of forcibly arresting Su Mu from the Taiping Division.

In his opinion, taking action was the worst possible strategy, especially inside the Taiping Division's yamen.

"Finished?"

Su Mu smiled faintly and said, "So, you came here for the Five Fires Sky-shaking Bow?"

"wrong."

Wu Qiuyuan said, "I am here for the majesty of the law. Captain Su, you cannot lay your hands on something that is not yours."

"well said."

Su Mu nodded and said, "If everyone follows the rules, fulfills their duties, and does not cross the line like Lord Wu, then there will definitely be peace in the world."

Wu Qiuyuan frowned slightly, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

This Su Mu is really too calm.

As a young man who is not very experienced in the world, he should be a little panicked now.

I have the upper hand over him.

How can a young man be so calm?
Does he think that the Inspectorate can't do anything to him?
"Master Wu, what if the Five Fires Sky-shaking Bow is mine?"

Su Mu said calmly.

"In front of me, Captain Su is going to forcibly take the Five Fires Sky-shaking Bow for himself?"

Wu Qiuyuan snorted coldly.

A Taiping captain who can use the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow can even threaten Wu Yiqi.

Therefore, Wu Qiuyuan must take the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow away from Su Mu. In this way, Wu Yiqi will be the strongest man in Wuling City, and it will be much easier for the Supervisory Office to do anything.

Wu Qiuyuan chose Su Mu as a breakthrough point, this was his main purpose, not to avenge Dai Jin, Feng Zhengqian and others.

"I mean,"

Su Mu shook his head and said, "The Five Fires Sky-shaking Bow was originally my personal property. There is no such thing as taking it by force."

He thrust his hand into his bosom.

"What do you want to do?!"

Wu Qiuyuan suddenly became nervous and drew his sword with a clang.

The inspectors behind him, except Wang Guan, all drew their swords, with nervous expressions on their faces.

The name of the human shadow tree.

Su Mu's reputation was also earned through hard work, and everyone in Wuling City knew his strength.

Several shiny steel knives were pointed at Su Mu, and Wu Qiuyuan and others were extremely nervous.

"Don't be nervous, Lord Wu. I'm not so crazy as to attack the Inspector."

Su Mu smiled contemptuously, "This is the certificate I used to buy the Five Fires Heaven Shocking Bow from Wuling City Lord's Mansion.

You will know after you read it, the Five Fires Sky-shaking Bow is my personal property, legal, compliant, and reasonable. "

"Ok?"

Wu Qiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously took the certificate handed over by Su Mu with his empty hand.

Looking down, Wu Qiuyuan's face instantly turned dark, like the bottom of a pot.

It turned out to be true!
Luo Yuxuan actually sold the Five Fires Heaven Shocking Bow to Su Mu?

How could he bear to do that? Wu Qiuyuan carefully read the voucher several times and did not find any problems or loopholes.

It is supposed that things belonging to the imperial court cannot be given or bought privately.

But the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow was a trophy captured by Wuling City, and the imperial court awarded it to the city lord Luo Yuxuan.

It was called the City Guarding Mysterious Soldier, but the intention at that time was that if one day Luo Yuxuan was no longer the Lord of Wuling City, he could take the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow away.

He actually didn't know that after the fifth-level demon tide, Luo Yuxuan actually submitted a petition to resign from the position of Lord of Wuling City.

Although his proposal was rejected later, he took advantage of the opportunity of resigning and sold the Five Fires Sky-shaking Bow to Su Mu directly...

From a legal point of view, there is absolutely no problem.

The problem is, Luo Yuxuan can actually do this for Su Mu!
Has the relationship between the Wuling City government and the Taiping Division become so good?
Wu Qiuyuan frowned, this was going to be a bit troublesome.

The three forces are in a three-way balance of power. If the other two forces unite together, wouldn't the third force be attacked from both sides?

Now this third-party force is their Supervisory Department.

"Did Lord Wu see it clearly?"

Su Mu smiled faintly, "Next time before you throw dirty water on me, please investigate it first and don't waste each other's time and feelings."

"you--"

Wu Qiuyuan's face flushed red and his chest heaved violently.

He knew that he had been completely defeated in this first confrontation.

It is impossible to start with the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow.

But if the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow cannot be taken away from Su Mu, a Taiping Captain holding the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow is fully capable of hurting a True Yuan Realm warrior, which will be a big trouble.

For the first time, Wu Qiuyuan felt that the situation was a little tricky.

I thought he was just a small Taiping Duwei, no, now he is Taiping Xiaowei. Even if he is Taiping Xiaowei, he is nothing and can be easily controlled.

But now, it has become a stumbling block.

"Well, I was negligent in not noticing the matter of the Five Fires Sky-shaking Bow."

Wu Qiuyuan took a deep breath and spoke in a calm tone.

Su Mu looked at him with some surprise. He was able to calm down so quickly. This Wu Qiuyuan was really a character.

The silent dog is the most vicious. Wu Qiuyuan's reaction made Su Mu feel alert.

He was not afraid of the other party's rage, nor was he afraid of the other party taking direct action. What he was afraid of was this kind of old villain.

You never know when he's going to jump out and bite you.

It would be a real headache to always be on guard against such people.

This person already made Su Mu feel dangerous.

"Captain Su, please forgive me. I am not targeting you. I am just doing my duty as the Supervisory Department."

Wu Qiuyuan continued, "Any illegality will be thoroughly investigated by our Supervisory Department. I think Captain Su should understand, right?"

"understand."

Su Mu nodded, his eyelids drooping, hiding the light in his eyes.

"I remember that Captain Su had worked as a Sima and a head of police in the outer city before he joined the Taiping Division. At that time, Captain Su had several large-scale actions of confiscating property and exterminating the clan. I will investigate these matters and give Captain Su a heads-up in advance. I hope you don't think that our Supervisory Division is deliberately targeting you."

Wu Qiuyuan's mind raced, thinking of ways to break the impasse. If the obstacle Su Mu was not removed, it would be difficult for the Supervisory Office to make any progress in Wuling City.

"Captain Su has only been in the Taiping Division for two years, and he has already become a Taiping Captain at such a young age. We in the Supervisory Division must make sure that there is no ulterior motive in your promotion. After all, the Taiping Captain is a high-ranking official with great power, and we cannot allow someone with ill intentions to occupy the position."

"Just check it out."

Su Mu said lightly.

When he was the Sima in the outer city, he did take some silver. If we really investigate it, it would not be a big problem.

However, Wu Qiuyuan has to be able to find evidence.

At this moment, a person suddenly rushed in.

"Captain Su, something terrible has happened!"

Cong Yuanlong said breathlessly.

He was once a Taiping commander under the same captain, and his seniority was even higher than Su Mu's. However, Su Mu was already a Taiping commander, so he was somewhat uncomfortable facing Su Mu.

The junior fellow apprentice suddenly becomes the senior uncle, who can adapt?

Cong Yuanlong suppressed his complicated feelings and said, "Something happened to the pacification envoy and Captain Lin!"

"Oh? Are they in trouble?"

Wu Qiuyuan looked delighted and couldn't help but speak.

Before he could do anything, something happened to the Taiping Division?

Wouldn’t that mean Wuling City will become the domain of the Inspectorate?
"The rare treasure in Daxing Mountain is a trap! The pacification envoy and Captain Lin and his men are now all trapped by the monster."

Cong Yuanlong glanced at Wu Qiuyuan and asked, "Who the hell are you? Why should I answer you?"
He ignored Wu Qiuyuan, but looked at Su Mu and spoke quickly.

Now in Wuling City, apart from those old men like Wan Qing, Su Mu was the only Taiping Captain who was still in office. Naturally, he would be the first to report this kind of news to Su Mu.

"trap?"

Su Mu's expression changed slightly.

"Captain Zhang risked his life to bring the news out. He died right after he brought the news out."

Cong Yuanlong said with a heavy expression, "It was a trap set by the monster to lure warriors in. Not only the pacification officers, but all the warriors who entered the mountain were fooled."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qiuyuan could hardly hide the joy on his face. He did not bother to cause trouble for Su Mu and hurried away with a few people.

He had to tell Wu Yiqi the news as soon as possible.

Su Mu was in no mood to pay attention to Wu Qiuyuan, and said to Cong Yuanlong, "What else did Captain Zhang say? Don't miss a word, tell me everything!"

…………

Wuling City, Supervisory Office.

After listening to Wu Qiuyuan's report, Wu Yiqi slowly stood up.

"Sir, this is really God's help for us! If Zhao Po Nu and those Taiping officers all die in Daxing Mountain, Wuling City will be ours, and our Wuling Supervisory Office will be the first to make a breakthrough. By then, your promotion will be just around the corner."

Wu Qiuyuan said with some excitement.

Wu Yiqi didn't say anything, but grabbed the long knife on the table and walked out.

"My Lord, where are you going?"

Wu Qiuyuan was stunned.

"Leave the city and save people."

Wu Yiqi said concisely.

"what?"

Wu Qiuyuan thought he had heard it wrong.

"I don't like the Taiping Division's arrogance and dominance, but they shouldn't die in the monster's trap."

Wu Yiqi rarely said so many words, "The Supervisory Department and the Peace Department can fight, but monsters are our common enemy."

Before he finished speaking, his back had already disappeared into the distance.
