The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 32: Slaying Demons and Evil Spirits, Special Permission from the Emperor (Please read, collect, and vote for the monthly ticket)

"That 'Taiping' brother gave me three years, and it took me about six months. I don't know if this speed is considered fast."

Su Mu looked at the system panel and said to himself.

The content on the panel has quietly changed.

[Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Constable (officer)]

[Points: 0 points]

[Martial Arts: Fubo Sword Skills (Perfect), Archery (Beginner)]

The plus sign after "Martial Arts" had disappeared, and when his attention was focused on the Fu Bo Sword Technique, the system did not give any prompts.

This seems to mean that the Fu Bo Sword Technique has reached the pinnacle of points and no further points can be added.

"This may be my limit, but it may not be the limit of the panel points."

Su Mu said to himself.

Although he was not sure whether there was a higher realm above the Fu Bo Sword Style, he thought that there should be one.

The sword that Brother Taiping used to kill the demon was definitely countless times more powerful than his Fu Bo sword.

How could he, who hasn't even reached the first stage of body tempering, practice his swordsmanship to the limit?
"Perhaps the Fu Bo Sword Skill is too low-level and its power is limited to this. If you want to further improve your sword skills, you need to practice a more advanced sword skill."

Su Mu pondered in his heart, "Or, I need to temper my body."

If you want to become truly stronger, you must temper your body.

Without sufficient strength to support it, even if you practice sword skills, you cannot be considered a truly strong person.

"There's no rush. With my current status, I can't get any good body-hardening methods. It's better to find Brother Taiping first and get the future he promised me before thinking of a solution."

Su Mu made up his mind and put away the system panel in an instant.

I washed my face with cold water to dispel the fatigue from a sleepless night.

Su Mu went to the pawnshop on the street.

Not only can one pawn items in a pawnshop, but one can also buy items and even get information.

As long as they are paid, they can do anything.

Su Mu chose the most impressive one and walked in.

"Sir, are you pawning something or shopping?"

As soon as I walked into the pawnshop, a clerk came up to me with a smile.

"I want to get some information."

Su Mu spoke straight to the point, and as he spoke, he placed a two-liang silver coin on the counter.

When the guy saw the silver, the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Sir, please take a seat and serve tea!"

With a shout, a waiter immediately came running over and served tea to Su Mu.

"What news do you want to know, sir?"

The guy asked with a smile.

"I want to find someone, about twenty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes..."

Su Mu said.

"Master, we can easily find several people who fit your description on the street. Are there any other characteristics? Otherwise, we can't take this job."

The guy said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"By the way, he seemed to be wearing a uniform. The fabric was ink-colored brocade. It looked very expensive. There were words embroidered in silver thread on the front and back."

Su Mu said.

The guy's face suddenly turned ugly.

"The word 'Tai' is embroidered on the front—"

Su Mu continued.

"I don't know, I haven't heard of it."

The clerk's face changed drastically. Before Su Mu could finish speaking, he grabbed the silver on the counter and stuffed it back to Su Mu, "We don't want this job anymore. Please, sir, get out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two burly men came out from the inner room and stood in front of Su Mu without saying a word.

It looked like if Su Mu didn't leave, they would "send" him out personally.

Su Mu was a little confused, but he still collected the silver and left the pawnshop.

Although he was a constable from the South City Division, these pawnshops had powerful forces behind them, so there was no need to resort to violence over such a small matter.

There are more than one pawnshop in South City. If this one doesn't work, just go to another one.

If this company doesn't make money from him, there will always be another company that will. But soon, Su Mu found something wrong.

He had the silver in his hand, but he couldn't buy any information!

He went to several pawnshops in a row. At first, they were all very enthusiastic, but when they heard who Su Mu was looking for, their attitude changed immediately.

Most of them politely asked Su Mu to leave and not do business with him.

One family even thought that Su Mu came to their house deliberately to cause trouble and almost started a fight.

In the end, Yang Jin suddenly appeared, apologized, and then took Su Mu away.

After arriving at Yang Jin's house and sitting down, Su Mu asked, "Why did you stop me?
I'm just looking for someone, not for free.

The pawnshop is open for business. Other people's silver is silver, but my silver is not silver? "

"you do this delibrately?"

Yang Jin frowned and said.

"What do you mean by intentional? I don't understand what you mean."

Su Mu was confused.

"Behind those pawnshops are all forces from the inner city. They are a means for those officials in the inner city to make money!"

Yang Jin said.

"What does this have to do with me getting information?"

Su Mu said, "It's not like I won't pay. What does the strength behind them have to do with a customer like me?"

"It seems you really don't know."

Yang Jin looked at Su Mu for a while. He was sure that Su Mu was not joking, so he shook his head and said, "You went to the pawnshop to ask about the people in the Taiping Division. What's the difference between that and scolding a bald man in front of a bald man?"

"Taipingsi?"

Su Mu's eyes lit up, "Do you know who I'm asking about?"

"A brocade shirt with black ink, with the words embroidered on the front and back of the chest: peace."

Yang Jin said with a serious expression, "I really don't know if you are a Daxuan person or not. You don't even know about the Taiping Division!
You actually brazenly went to the pawnshop to inquire, you should be thankful that you were not beaten to death on the spot."

"Why, the Taiping Division can't ask?"

Su Mu asked doubtfully.

"It's not that the Taiping Division can't inquire, it's that you're asking in the wrong place."

Yang Jin said, "According to the Great Xuan Law, officials are not allowed to engage in business. However, most officials have ways to make money privately. The pawnshop in the outer city is closely related to the officials in the inner city.

Generally speaking, for matters like this, the people won't report them and the officials won't investigate. The officials will just turn a blind eye to each other and no one will really take care of it.

But the Taiping Division is different. If the Taiping Division really intervenes, these pawnbrokers will be the death warrant for the officials, do you understand?"

"understood."

Su Mu nodded, his eyes shining, "So, the Taiping Division is an agency that specializes in supervising all officials?"

It sounds like it is somewhat similar to the Jinyiwei of a certain dynasty in the previous life.

"Slay demons and slay evil, with special permission from the emperor, to protect the world and bring peace."

Yang Jin said solemnly, "This is the Taiping Division.

They are the ones who slay demons and monsters, and they are also the ones who punish corrupt officials.

As long as they have the evidence, they can execute first and report later. Do you think the officials are afraid?"

No wonder those pawnshops were so excited. The Taiping Bureau could take the lives of those behind them.

"I was just asking around, their reaction is really too big."

Su Mu muttered.

"Why are you asking about the people in the Taiping Division?"

Yang Jin asked curiously, "You are not also wishful thinking, wanting to join the Taiping Division?"

"Can't you?"

Su Mu asked back.

"It's not that it's impossible, but it's impossible."

Yang Jin said, “The threshold for joining the Taiping Division is to be under 20 years old and at the fourth level of body tempering.

Xing Zhaofu, the captain of the Nancheng Division, was considered one of the strongest men in Nancheng. He was in his forties before he reached the third level of body tempering.

The leader of Black Dragon Village is also at the third level of Body Tempering, and his age cannot be less than thirty years old.

I remember you are already sixteen years old, and you are not even at the first level of body tempering yet. Why do you think you can join the Taiping Division?"

　It's Tuesday, another day that determines the fate of this book. Whether there will be any recommendations next week depends on today's results. I sincerely ask everyone to help click on the latest chapter. I will add another chapter today to show my sincerity. Thank you~
