The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 50 Speculations (Please read, collect, and vote for the monthly recommendation)
"Young Master Wang, your Wang family's hands are reaching too far."

At the gate of the inner city, He Yuxing did not come out from the darkness until Su Mu disappeared in the direction of the outer city.

Wang Guan waved his paper fan, looking very proud, "You said it so tactfully, I don't understand what you mean."

"Su Mu is a constable in my Nancheng Division. I was the one who promoted him to be the squad leader.

You are breaking the rules by interfering now."

He Yuxing said in a deep voice.

The four big families in the inner city are fighting openly and secretly, but for now, they are still maintaining superficial peace with each other, and everyone still follows some unspoken rules for the sake of face.

"no no."

Wang Guan shook his head and said, "I've said before, Su Mu is not from our Wang family. He and I are just personal friends, and he has nothing to do with the Wang family. Do I have to report to you, Sima He, when I make friends?"

"To make friends?"

He Yuxing and Feng Wandong both frowned.

It is an open secret in the inner city of Wuling City that the second young master of the Wang family is not good at literature or martial arts. He is capable of doing all kinds of ridiculous things. It is not impossible for him to make friends with a small gang leader from the outer city.

Could it be that they really hit it off and became friends at first sight?

"Let's go. I'm warning you. If you bully my brothers again, I'll give you a slap in the face."

Wang Guan walked away with his men in a swagger.

He Yuxing and Feng Wandong looked at each other.

"Do you believe him?"

After a long silence, He Yuxing spoke.

"I don't believe him."

Feng Wandong said unhappily, "Young Master Wang never tells the truth. Something must have happened that we don't know about."

"But Su Mu is not from the Wang family. Young Master Wang should not have lied about this. Even if Su Mu really joined the Wang family, he is not qualified to be on good terms with Young Master Wang.

Even though Su Mu has mastered the sword skills, his body tempering level is too low. Our He family will not take him too seriously, and the same goes for the Wang family.

As a direct descendant of the Wang family, it is impossible for him to be treated as a brother just because of this."

Feng Wandong thought for a moment and said, "I guess there might be someone else behind Su Mu. That's why Young Master Wang calls him his brother."

"Who is this person?"

He Yuxing took a breath of cold air. If Feng Wandong's guess was true, then the person behind Su Mu was probably not an ordinary person, otherwise it would be impossible for Wang Guan to have such an attitude.

"Could it be the city lord's lineage..."

He and Feng Wandong looked at each other, and there was something solemn in each other's eyes.

"The city lord wants to interfere in the affairs of the outer city?"

He Yuxing had a solemn expression. The lord of Wuling City was surnamed Luo. The Luo family had the greatest influence, but it was mainly in the inner city. They seldom intervened in the outer city, deliberately leaving it to the other three families' sphere of influence.

"This matter is of great importance. I must inform the family as soon as possible."

Feng Wandong said, "As for Su Mu, don't alarm him for now, and don't recruit him again. Just pretend you don't know his identity and keep everything as usual."

"I understand." He Yuxing said in a deep voice.

…………

"You are training in the outer city with your identity hidden. I understand. I will never reveal your identity."

Walking on the streets of the outer city, Su Mu recalled what the second young master of the Wang family said to him with a wink.

Su Mu didn't know what he understood or what he associated with.

However, since the second young master of the Wang family came forward, Su Mu did not use the tiger's skin anymore.

There will be consequences for claiming to be a bad person. If Brother Taiping finds out, who knows if he will feel bad about it?
Although Su Mu did not lie, it is better to avoid such things as using power to bully others unless it is absolutely necessary. After all, this power is not really your own.

If you end up offending Brother Taiping, it would be more trouble than gain.

"We've already been to the Taiping Division, and we don't know when they'll be able to return from outside the city. We can only wait for news."

Su Mu thought to himself that it would be impossible to go out of the city to look for them. The Daxing Mountains stretched for eight hundred miles, and he had no idea where the people from the Taiping Division had gone.

What's more, there are monsters everywhere outside the city, and the dangers are numerous.

"I can take this opportunity to consolidate my strength. When Brother Taiping comes back, I may be able to improve my strength even more."

When it was completely dark, Su Mu had already returned to Yang Jin's home. Yang Jin was not at home.

However, Yang Jin was mysterious all day long and would sneak out in the middle of the night, so it was not surprising that he was not at home.

Su Mu didn't care. He went straight back to the room he stayed in last night and fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was already midnight.

The fatigue from a day's running around was swept away. Su Mu lay on the bed and called up the system panel.

[Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Constable (officer)]

[Points: 65 points]

[Kung Fu: Golden Scale Skin Tempering Method (Great Mastery)]

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

The identity remains unchanged, and the squad leader's basic points are only twenty points.

"There is no news from the Taiping Division yet, and we don't know when the head constable He Yuxing promised will be officially appointed."

Looking at the information on the panel, Su Mu thought to himself, "This team leader still needs to do his job conscientiously, at least he should get more performance."

When Su Mu thought of "work", he felt sleepy and soon fell asleep again.

…………

Early the next morning.

No one knew when Yang Jin came back. He was sleeping soundly in the room, snoring loudly.

Su Mu didn't wake him up. He just thought that he couldn't go to the inner city for the time being, and it was not appropriate to live with a grown man all the time. Should he find a place to live first?

He packed up, picked up his long sword and walked towards Nanchengsi.

Since I can't leave for the time being, I'd better clean up my own area.

Just when Su Mu arrived at the gate of Nanchengsi, Zheng Wang, the team leader in charge of Pingkangfang, came to meet him.

"Captain Su, you are finally here!"

He came close to Su Mu and smiled as if he had picked up two taels of silver.

"Zheng Bantou, I'm not even a constable yet."

Su Mu said modestly.

"Sooner or later."

Zheng Wang laughed and suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Xu Mingchen is waiting for you inside."

"He is quite courageous. He dares to come to Nancheng Division to find me?"

Su Mu said.

"He turned himself in."

Zheng Wang looked a little strange, and whispered, "Butler Xu confessed everything. He hired assassins to kill the two previous foreman of Guangfufang."

"Since it was all done by Butler Xu, why did Xu Mingchen come to turn himself in?"

Su Mu was puzzled. He was no longer surprised by this scapegoat trick. It was absolutely impossible to say that it was all done by Butler Xu and Xu Mingchen was completely unaware of it.

However, he also knew that it was impossible to find evidence of Xu Mingchen's crime.

Since Butler Xu took the blame alone, any further investigation will not lead to Xu Mingchen.

"I do not know then."

Zheng Wang shrugged and shook his head, "He insisted on waiting for you to come. Guangfufang is originally your jurisdiction, so it's right for him to come to you.

If you can bring down the Xu family, you, Captain Su, will have made a great contribution."

Zheng Wang's face was full of envy.

"It doesn't matter whether I have made any achievements or not. I just want to do something for the people of Guangfufang and do my job well."

Su Mu said, "Let's go and listen to what Xu Mingchen wants to say."
