Life span plundered, I became a detective and achieved immortality

Chapter 22 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

"Oh my god! Am I hallucinating?"

"Does this Su know what he is talking about?"

"Crazy! This Su must be crazy!"

......

In the main hall, everyone, including Xue Gang and others, looked at Su Mo as if he was a madman, otherwise, how could he say such crazy things.

On the main seat, Zhong Chuan was so angry that he was furious. This Su Mo brat was going too far! Did he really think that he was made of clay and could be manipulated by him?

"You little brat, I want to see what you are capable of. Kill me!"

"boom......"

As he spoke, Zhong Chuan no longer suppressed his own momentum, and the powerful aura of bone-strengthening perfection emanated from him and crushed towards Su Mo.

Today, we must teach this Su guy a lesson. Even if we cannot chop off his head on the spot, we must make sure that he cannot get out of bed for half a year.

The Zhong Mansion would not tolerate a kid like him who hadn't even fully grown yet to run wild.

"You still dare to resist, your crime is even more serious, you will be put to death!"

There was a flash of murderous intent in Su Mo's eyes.

"Whoosh..."

The long sword in his hand was unsheathed, and a ray of sword light tore through the sky.

"not good......"

Zhong Chuan's face changed drastically. The extreme breath of death was like icy water that instantly extinguished the anger in his heart.

This strike was a fatal blow, he could not stop it and could not block it.

Three...third rank, this little boy is a third rank warrior.

"Sir, please forgive me..."

Before he uttered the word "life", the blade had already cut his neck.

"Su Mo, you...are so scheming. I...can't accept this."

Zhong Chuan covered his neck and slid to the ground weakly, his eyes wide open with resentment and regret.

As a powerful third-rank warrior, you should have told me earlier. How could I be so stubborn as to make things difficult for you?

quiet!

For a moment, the entire main hall was so quiet that it was eerie!

One...one knife, just one knife, and Lord Zhong was beheaded by Lord General.

This... am I dreaming?

......

"Next, it's your turn, both of you."

Su Mo's eyes swept over the remaining two small flags, Wei Ning and Lu Gao.

In an instant, the two of them shuddered all over, as if they were being stared at by a wild and ferocious beast. Endless fear and anxiety quickly devoured their hearts.

"boom......"

Almost at the same time, the two men knelt down in front of Su Mo, begging desperately, "Please spare my life, sir. I have no intention of offending you. Everything was forced by Zhong Chuan..."

Hearing this, the captains on both sides of the main hall woke up as if from a dream. They knelt down in a hurry and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

"Your Excellency, all of this is Zhong Chuan's fault."

"We were forced into a corner. Zhong Chuan is not a human being. If we don't obey him, he will kill my whole family."

"Sir, everything we said is true. There is absolutely no falsehood. It was the man named Zhong who forced us to do it."

......

I would rather die than let my friend die. Besides, today's incident was caused by that bastard Zhong Chuan.

If old dog Zhong Chuan doesn’t take the blame, who will?

Su Mo looked around the main hall, and wherever his eyes passed, the hearts of all the captains and flag officers were in their throats.

"Is this evil star planning to kill us all?"

"Zhong Chuan, you old dog, if I can't survive today, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost."

......

"Considering that you were also forced by this villain, the death penalty can be spared, but you cannot escape the punishment of life. Each of you will be beaten with 80 sticks to serve as a warning to others!"

When Lu Gao and others were about to collapse, Su Mo finally spoke up. He came here just to establish his authority, so he couldn't kill them all. Each of them was a tool. If he killed them all, who would help him slay demons and collect their corpses in the future?

"Thank you for your mercy, sir. We are willing to be punished."

Wei Ning and the others breathed a sigh of relief. If an ordinary person were hit by eighty sticks, they would be able to take care of their funeral. But for second-grade warriors like them, it was just some minor flesh wounds, and they would recover after a few days of recuperation.

"Come here, take him away and execute him!"

"Here!"

Xue Gang and others behind Su Mo responded loudly, all of them were in high spirits and morale.

This time, they really made the right bet.

The third-rank warriors, those centurions in the inner city, are just of such cultivation level, and there are even fewer of them in the general flag, not to mention that their general flag is still so young, and its future is limitless.

Even if he surpasses Qianhu and becomes the Demon Suppression Envoy of the Demon Suppression Bureau, there is still hope.

The status of their subordinates will surely rise with the times. One day, they may have the hope of becoming a general flag bearer or even a centurion.

......

"As for you..." After watching Wei Ning and the others being taken away for execution, Su Mo turned his gaze and landed on the hundreds of guards. After a pause, he said, "Since this is your first offense, each of you will be punished with 20 strokes of the cane. This will not happen again."

"Thank you sir for your kindness."

The captains of the guards felt relieved. Fortunately, the lord was merciful and did not punish them with eighty strokes of the stick as he did the captains and small flags. Each of them was not like these captains and small flags. Most of them were only at the first rank in cultivation. If they were really beaten with eighty strokes of the stick, they would have to lie in bed for ten days or half a month.

"Xue Gang, bring a team of men and confiscate this Zhong Mansion for me. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy."

"Here!"

......

An hour later.

The Demonic Training Ground in Nancheng Town.

Treasure chests, each about two meters long and one meter wide and high, were neatly placed on the parade ground.

Each treasure chest was filled with gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings... There were twelve large chests in total.

"What a dog official! He has been plundering the people's wealth over the years."

Su Mo looked at the account book brought by the clerk. In terms of cash alone, there were 2,000 taels of gold and 30,000 taels of silver. Taking into account gold and silver bills, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and other treasures, the total value would not be less than 600,000 taels of silver. This family fortune was almost catching up with that of Zhao Heihu, the leader of the Black Tiger Gang.

"Xue Gang, half of them will be sent to my house. For the remaining five layers, half will be put into the warehouse to purchase cultivation resources for you. Two layers will be rewarded to the brothers who contributed today, and the last half will be distributed to the brothers who stayed behind."

"Thank you, sir, for the reward."

Xue Gang and a group of guards and strongmen on the parade ground were all surprised. Compared with the general flag, Lord Su was really too generous. If it were General Liao, he would have to take at least the majority, and giving them some soup would be the limit. Especially for the brothers who stayed behind, the most they would be rewarded with a meal of wine and meat.

......

Inner city, Wei Mansion.

This is the residence of Wei Mao, a captain of the Demon Suppression Department in Yunmeng County. He is also the man behind Zhong Chuan.

"What a lawless boy Su Mo, you really think you can do whatever you want with Xia Mingrong backing you up."

Wei Mao, who was wearing the azure uniform of a centurion, was furious. As the saying goes, when beating a dog, you have to look at its owner first. This Su man dared to kill Zhong Chuan on the first day of taking office. It showed that he did not take him, a centurion, seriously at all.

"Just wait for me. I will report this to the Lord Qian Hu. The Demon Suppression Department will not tolerate a child like you messing around."
