The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 29 Recruitment (Please read, collect, and vote for the monthly ticket)
After a fierce battle, they couldn't even get into the gate of the Black Dragon Village.

All the gold, silver and treasures in Black Dragon Village were swallowed up by the He family, so naturally there was no share for Su Mu.

But Su Mu did not return empty-handed.

The leader and the second in command of Black Dragon Village were at the door of their house, without any good things on them, and did not give Su Mu a chance to touch the corpse.

But Su Mu touched this silk package on Xing Zhaofu.

"He even carries it with him when he goes out of town to suppress bandits. This must be very important to Xing Zhaofu. It must be a good thing."

Su Mu muttered to himself, carefully opening the silk package.

"Land deed?"

There was an account book in the silk package. Su Mu flipped through the book and a few sheets of paper fell out.

When he picked it up and took a look, Su Mu's face showed disappointment.

The title deed to any house in the inner city is worth hundreds of taels.

And it’s not something that can be bought with money.

The thing is a good thing, but to Su Mu, it is like waste paper.

Firstly, the origin of these things is shady, and secondly, not everyone can go to the inner city.

Now he couldn't even enter the gate of the inner city. It was nothing but a foolish dream for him to want to live in the inner city.

This thing is impossible to cash in even if you want to.

He casually flipped through the account book again, which contained records of Xing Zhaofu's wealth accumulation and gift giving over the years.

The content inside opened Su Mu's eyes.

During all the years that Xing Zhaofu served as a captain of police, the year in which he made the least amount of money was still more than 1,000 taels, and the amount of silver he gave out every year was also astonishing.

After looking through it several times, Su Mu threw the account book directly into the brazier and watched the brazier devour the account book.

He hesitated for a moment, but decided not to throw the deeds in. Instead, he wrapped them in silk again and stuffed them under the bed.

What if one day he is qualified to enter the inner city?

…………

Half a month passed in a flash.

The destruction of Black Dragon Village did not cause any ripples in South City.

The people are busy struggling for food and clothing all day long, who would care about a group of bandits outside the city?

What surprised Su Mu was that the destruction of Black Dragon Village seemed to have never happened within Nancheng Division.

Even no one seemed to care about Xing Zhaofu's death.

As for the position of head constable, it was temporarily taken over by a squad leader named Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji had no grudge against Su Mu, so naturally he didn't make things difficult for Su Mu.

Su Mu reported for duty and patrolled the streets on time every day, and his life was peaceful and leisurely.

Before he knew it, he had accumulated 200 points.

One day, Su Mu had just returned from patrolling the streets when Zhao Ji, who was temporarily taking over the position of chief constable, suddenly sent someone to call him over.

"Su Mu has met the captain."

Su Mu said while bowing.

The fancy sedan was carried by everyone. Although Zhao Ji was not yet a captain of police, he would definitely not be able to solve the problem if he was called the captain.

Sure enough, Zhao Ji smiled and nodded slightly.

He looked Su Mu up and down, feeling a little strange.

He didn't have any special impression of Su Mu. He just remembered that when he occasionally met him, the young constable was always very respectful.

I don’t know why Lord Sima summoned him.

"Xiao Su, I heard that you were born as a refugee?"

Zhao Ji patted Su Mu's shoulder and said, "Do you have any relatives in Wuling City?"

"Captain, I have no relatives in Wuling City."

Su Mu shook his head and said.

"That's it."

Zhao Ji seemed to be thinking about something, and then he said, "Lord Sima wants to see you, do you know why?" "Lord Sima wants to see me?"

Su Mu showed a surprised look on his face. "Captain, I have always been diligent in my work and never dared to be negligent. You must make the decision for me."

Zhao Ji looked at Su Mu and saw that the panic on his face did not seem fake. He smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I see that Lord Sima is in a good mood. He probably doesn't want to punish you. Go and see Sima. If there is anything, I will testify for you."

Su Mu bowed and said yes, then left Zhao Ji's classroom, walked through several corridors, and came to where Sima He Yuxing usually worked.

After the notification, Su Mu waited for another half an hour before standing in front of He Yuxing.

"I know everything you did."

He Yuxing spoke straight to the point.

"Sima, what are you talking about? I don't understand.

I am just a small detective, I can only do my job, I don't know what Sima is talking about."

Su Mu said.

He Yuxing looked at him for a long time before slowly saying, "You are very smart, which is good.

The outer city is a chaotic place, only the smart ones can survive long. "

"I have not rewarded you for the matter of Black Dragon Village. Do you have any complaints?"

"Black Dragon Village? What happened in Black Dragon Village?"

Su Mu said blankly, "Hasn't the Black Dragon Village been razed by the eldest young master of the He family? What else could happen?"

"Ha ha!"

He Yuxing looked at Su Mu meaningfully, and suddenly laughed, "Su Mu, do you want to be the class leader?"

Su Mu knew that He Yuxing was preparing to use benefits to shut him up.

This is what wealthy families do. If everyone were to kill people to silence them like Xing Zhaofu, how many people would they have to kill?
Even if they don't care, it's still troublesome, isn't it?

Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem for such a wealthy family.

As long as the benefits were enough, Su Mu didn't mind the He family taking credit for his work. Anyway, with his current status, it would be of no use even if he took the credit for killing the three leaders of the Black Dragon Village.

In this world, you can't get promoted just by having merits but no real ability.

Besides, it was just luck that he killed the three leaders of Black Dragon Village. Even if he was really made the head of the police because of his merits, his current strength was not worthy of the position, and he could not suppress those unruly gangs in South City at all.

In a word, as long as the benefits are enough, everything can be negotiated.

"I once heard someone say that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier."

Su Mu said seriously, "I think that if a constable doesn't want to be the head of a squad, then he is not a good constable."

"Haha."

He Yuxing laughed again, this time with a little more sincerity than before, "Su Mu, do you know why I can be the Sima of Nancheng?"

Without waiting for Su Mu to answer, he continued, "Because my last name is He!

I am a descendant of the He family in the inner city, so even if I don’t practice martial arts, I can still be the Sima of the South City.

If you want to be the squad leader, it's just a matter of a word from me. I can even make you the captain of the South City with just a word from me."

Su Mu was slightly stunned. This was beyond his expectations. He Yuxing was so particular, and he just made him the head of the police?
Do I refuse or accept?
Su Mu was a little confused about the choice. Being a head constable would definitely be a good thing, but his current strength was not enough and it would be easy for him to fail...

"But, why?"

Just as Su Mu was thinking, He Yuxing continued, "Your last name is not He, why should I promote you?"

Su Mu looked at He Yuxing and his expression immediately became conflicted.

A word popped up in his mind, Bu has been drifting for half his life...

"I have a maid in my house, who is about your age and not bad looking. You are unmarried, so I want to marry her to you. What do you think?"

He Yuxing changed the subject and said.

Su Mu's mind was racing with thoughts, and he instantly understood what He Yuxing meant. The maids in such a wealthy family were either the master's exclusive concubines, or would be rewarded by the master to be the wives of servants or guards.

He Yuxing, this is to make him take sides.

If he agreed, he would be He Yuxing's lackey in the future. Although his surname was not He, he was still a member of the He family and would naturally be able to be reused and promoted.

Su Mu thought that one day he would need to take sides, but he didn't expect that day to come so early!

He is just a small constable, why should he be allowed to make a choice?
