The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 40 Three Hundred Points (Please read, collect, and vote for the monthly ticket)
Su Mu slowly put the last steamed bun into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

After eating, he wiped his mouth again.

Then he slowly said, "Looking for me?"

His tone carried the calmness of a superior.

He had met many great figures in his previous life. Who hasn’t seen a few emperors when watching TV dramas?
Just by imitating a few of them casually, you can crush the opponent's clumsy posture into pieces.

The other party obviously did not expect Su Mu to be so relaxed.

But think about it, the other party doesn't seem to know him, so his reaction is understandable.

"Introduce yourself."

He brushed his sleeves, glanced at the greasy table with some disdain, and said, "I'm the steward of the Xu Mansion. You can call me Steward Xu."

He looked very proud, as if the surname Xu brought him a lot of face.

"Xu family?"

The documents he read yesterday flashed through Su Mu's mind, and he understood everything.

There are not many wealthy gentry in Guangfufang, and the Xu family is the leader, almost the largest force in Guangfufang.

Those gangs entrenched in Guangfufang are also closely related to the Xu family.

"know."

Su Mu nodded. "Butler Xu, do you have something to ask me?"

Su Mu's expression was still as calm as water.

Butler Xu did not say anything, but took out a silver note from his sleeve and placed it on the table. Then he pressed the silver note with his right index finger and pushed it in front of Su Mu.

"Five hundred taels."

After doing all this, Butler Xu said, "The banknotes of Datong Bank can be exchanged for cash at any Datong Bank.

This number will be maintained every month from now on.”

Su Mu's eyes fell on the silver note, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The constables of Nanchengsi receive two and a half taels of silver per month, and the foreman of a squad receives four taels.

The head of the police force, fifteen taels.

Even the captain of the Southern City Division only received one hundred and eighty taels of silver per year.

Five hundred taels, it would take the captain of the Nancheng Division three years to earn that much.

But for a team leader like Su Mu, it would take ten years.

That's ten years' salary for him in one go. Wow, what a generous sum.

Seeing the shock on Su Mu's face, Butler Xu felt secretly proud.

A peasant who was born into a vagrant family and became a team leader by luck, how much silver has he seen?

Five hundred taels was enough to knock him out.

"I think this money is not to congratulate me on becoming the head of Guangfufang."

The shock on Su Mu's face only lasted for a blink of an eye, and then his eyes regained clarity. He did not touch the banknote, but looked at Butler Xu and said.

"You can take it as a gift."

Butler Xu frowned. There was something wrong with Su Mu's attitude. Could it be really like what the master said, that people like these who came from a mud-legged family and thought they had some abilities all had such self-righteousness?
"You'd better tell me what you want me to do, otherwise I won't feel at ease taking this money."

Su Mu said lightly.

"First, you have no right to interfere with what our Xu family does in Guangfufang, and you must show up when we need you to."

Butler Xu held up three fingers, closed one first, and said.

"Second," he curled up his second finger, "you need to go to the inner city once a month to deliver goods."

Su Mu burst out laughing. This really means they don't treat grassroots staff as state officials.

He held up his hand as a gesture to continue.

Butler Xu also held the third finger, "Third, there are several disobedient forces in Guangfufang, you help us get rid of them."

"that's it?"

Su Mu suddenly smiled, "Do you want to put forward a few more conditions? For example, let me kill Sima and let your master be the Sima of Nancheng?"

Butler Xu frowned, "That won't do. Although He Yuxing himself doesn't have much ability, he is backed by the He family in the inner city. Although the power behind our Xu family is not bad, there is no need to turn against the He family."

Su Mu was speechless. Have you really considered it?
"You may not understand what I mean."

Su Mu looked at Butler Xu and said that the other party's IQ would probably not be able to understand anything too complicated, so he should just speak directly.

"Unless your master becomes the Sima of Nancheng, he has no right to order me to do anything."

Su Mu said seriously, "I, Su Mu, am a constable of Daxuan. I receive Daxuan's salary and do Daxuan's work. Considering that this is your first offense, I will not bother with you, but I will confiscate your money."

Su Mu put away the banknotes and said slowly, "Remember next time, an official is an official. When you speak, you must clearly understand your position."

After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave.

Butler Xu finally reacted. His face turned pale and blue, and his eyes were filled with anger at being tricked.

"Subbantou, are you planning to go against our Xu family?"

Butler Xu said coldly.

"That's what you said."

Su Mu laughed, "Su has always been against criminals. Unless your Xu family commits a crime, you don't have to worry about anything."

"Very good, the master is right, people like you really can't see the reality clearly!"

Butler Xu's face was gloomy, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he sneered, "You rejected Sima He Yuxing, and you dare to reject our Xu family again. Don't regret it."

Su Mu had already walked a long way out. He turned his back to Butler Xu, waved his hand, and walked away laughing.

Yang Tian laughed and went out, how are we from Penghao.

If you haven't done enough as a human being, why become a dog?

Watching Su Mu's back disappear around the corner of the street, Butler Xu was so angry that he kicked over the bench and walked away in the horrified eyes of the shop owner.

…………

Su Mu finished his day's duty and returned home.

When midnight arrives, the data on the system panel is refreshed again.

[Points: 160 points]

Looking at the latest points, Su Mu was a little surprised.

The basic points for the squad leader should be 20 points, but today it increased by 25 points.

Is it because I refused the Xu family’s bribery today?
"Not compromising with evil forces is part of the job of a squad leader."

Su Mu said to himself.

Perhaps because what he did was completely in line with what a team leader should do, he got five more "performance points" today.

"The system wants me to do what I love."

Su Mu said to himself.

Thinking of the generous "performance", he once again felt the urge to wipe out Guangfufang.

However, thinking of the strength of both sides, he rationally suppressed the idea.

After all, the small success in the first stage of body tempering is still not enough.

…………

For several days in a row, Su Mu went out early and came back late.

He was either reading documents in the classroom of the Nanchengsi Yamen, or patrolling in Guangfufang.

In theory, the squad leader does not need to patrol the streets.

But Su Mu didn't have any subordinates under him, so naturally he had to do it himself.

Fortunately, everything he does has "performance", so he never gets tired of it.

The badge for the squad leader has not been made yet, and now apart from being a squad leader, he cannot enter the inner city.

The only thing that disappointed him was that Guangfufang was unusually peaceful these days, without even a single troublemaker.

It was as if these people were giving face to him, the newly appointed leader.

Even so, on the seventh day, Su Mu, who worked diligently as the team leader, finally reaped the rewards.

Late at night, in the room.

Su Mu's eyes were bright and sharp.
