The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 66: Temporary Head of Police (Please read, collect, and vote for the monthly ticket)
"Su Mu is the Taiping Division Baiyi? How is this possible?!"

Inside the Nanchengsi Yamen, Sima He Yuxing sat behind a desk, his brows suddenly furrowed.

"Sima, it's absolutely true!"

The person who spoke was He Yuxing's legal advisor, named Fu Peisheng, "Su Mu has already arrested Zhao Ji and Zhao Gui, and they are now coming to the government office."

"Even if he was a white-robed man from the Taiping Division, why would he arrest the two Zhao Ji brothers when he had nothing better to do?"

He Yuxing frowned and said, "Taipingsi Baiyi, he goes to deal with the demons."

"The murder in Wulimiao Village seems to be instigated by Zhao Gui, and it seems to be related to demons—"

Fu Peisheng said.

The constable Zhao Ji brought with him had his spies. After Su Mu revealed his identity, the constable saw that something was wrong and immediately ran back to report the news. What he knew was limited.

"waste!"

He Yuxing cursed inwardly, this Zhao Ji is far inferior to Xing Zhaofu, he is really useless!
It's fine if he just makes money, but he dares to touch anything related to demons. Isn't that courting death?

"Sima, what should we do now?"

Fu Peisheng said in a panic.

That’s the Taiping Division. Who wouldn’t be scared after hearing that?
"What are you afraid of?"

He Yuxing looked unhappy and snorted coldly, "Although Taipingsi Baiyi is also an official, he is only a ninth-rank official, and he can't control me.

I have nothing to do with demons, so why should I be afraid of him?

It’s not like my He family doesn’t have Taipingsi Baiyi.”

Although it was beyond his expectation that Su Mu was the man in white from the Taiping Division, it made him feel a little tricky.

But it’s not that I’m afraid.

If Su Mu was the Taiping Colonel or the Taiping Commander, he might feel afraid.

He is just a white-collar worker in the Taiping Division, and it is not certain whether he can be converted to a regular employee in the future. What is he afraid of?
He is not a minor official without any foundation, he is a member of the He family.

His nephew is now the Baiyi of Taiping Division.

After hearing what He Yuxing said, Fu Peisheng gradually calmed down.

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true. Zhao Ji's involvement with the demon had nothing to do with them, and they really were unaware of it. Not to mention the civilians from the Taiping Division, even if the Taiping Captain came, they would not need to be afraid.

As for the little bit of money they usually covet, it seems not worth the Taiping Division's intervention.

"Sima, Su Mu is already a white-robed official in the Taiping Division, why does he still want to stay in our Nancheng Division as a small squad leader?"

Fu Peisheng complained, isn't this a scam?
The Baiyi in the Taiping Division was already a ninth-rank official, while the squad leader was just a low-ranking clerk.

"You do not understand."

He Yuxing said, "To put it bluntly, the Taiping Division Baiyi are still in the probation period. It is not certain whether they can become Taiping Duwei. As far as I know, among the Taiping Division Baiyi, only two or three out of ten can become Taiping Duwei.

If they want to become regular employees, in addition to their own strength, they also need to slay demons and evildoers and accumulate enough merits.

Think about it, the Baiyi people of the Taiping Division are just candidates of the Taiping Division, and they will definitely not be included in any important tasks.

If they want to accumulate merit, they have to find opportunities themselves."

"Can't they use the identity of the Taiping Division Baiyi to slay demons and exterminate evil?"

Fu Peisheng asked in confusion.

"Of course they can, but how can they know the whereabouts of evil spirits?"

He Yuxing said, "Before becoming the Taiping Commander, they were not eligible to use the Taiping Division's own information channels.

If you come from a good family, you will find your own way.

But for someone like Su Mu who came from a humble background, even if he was lucky enough to become a white-robed official of the Taiping Division, it was not so easy to accumulate merits. It was the best choice for him to stay in the Nancheng Division and use the power of the Nancheng Division to accumulate merits. "

After all, He Yuxing was a descendant of the He family, one of the four major families in the inner city. He was knowledgeable and immediately guessed Su Mu's plan.

"The Taiping Division won't care about him? He's a white-clothed officer of the Taiping Division, but he's still a constable? How could the Taiping Division allow such a thing to happen?"

Fu Peisheng complained.

"This is how the Taiping Division trains candidates. The Taiping Division's Baiyi are just candidates. The Taiping Division's attitude towards them is free-range, and they won't be restricted in what they do. As long as they meet the Taiping Division's assessment standards within the specified time, that's all."

He Yuxing's nephew is Baiyi of the Taiping Division, so he naturally knows all about this.

"The identity of Taipingsi Baiyi may be enough to scare others, but it's far from enough to scare me."

He Yuxing snorted coldly, "In the South City Division, I don't care if he is from the Taiping Division or not. He is just a squad leader in the South City Division. If he wants to have any special privileges, forget it."

"Sima is mighty!"

Fu Peisheng praised sincerely, saying that Lord Sima was truly amazing as he was not even afraid of the Taiping Division.

…………

The sky was dark and a drizzle began to fall without my knowing.

The lobby of Nanchengsi was filled with solemnity.

Nearly a hundred detectives were basically all present, and there were hundreds of officers gathered outside.

Most people didn't know what was going on and were still whispering to each other, their expressions inevitably tense and solemn.

The hall master, Sima He Yuxing, legal advisor Fu Peisheng, Su Mu, and several squad leaders including Zheng Wang were all there.

"Lord Sima, this is the cause and effect of the matter. I suspect that the Wutian Sect is using some means to artificially create demons, so I would like to ask Lord Sima to send someone to help me eliminate the Wutian Sect."

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

The body of the guardian of the Wutan Sect was thrown on the ground, and Zhao Ji and Zhao Gui were also tied up and held in the hall. The evidence was irrefutable.

"The Wutian Cult is causing chaos in South City, so we must suppress it."

He Yuxing said, "But I want to ask you, in what capacity do you come?"

"What's the difference?"

Before Su Mu could speak, Wei Yongfu, whom he brought with him as a bodyguard, spoke.

"Naturally there is."

Master Fu Peisheng said, "If Su Bantou comes here as a member of the Taiping Division, then it's OK for our Nancheng Division to cooperate with the Taiping Division. Everything will be led by Su Taiping, and the three squads of Nancheng Division will cooperate.

If you come here as Subbantou, then the extermination of the Wutian Sect will be an internal operation of our Nancheng Division."

Wei Yongfu was totally confused and couldn't tell the difference at all.

He didn't understand, but Su Mu did.

The white people of the Taiping Division cannot suppress the Sima of a city. So, they can only cooperate. Working without putting in any effort is just basic operation.

If this was done as a squad leader, it would be done under the leadership of Nanchengsi. If it was accomplished, the person who made the greatest contribution would be Sima of Nanchengsi, who was the mastermind behind the plan.

It may seem that it doesn't make much difference who takes the lead, but in fact, it is directly related to whether things can be done.

"This matter started with the murder case in Wulimiao Village. As the squad leader of the Nancheng Division, I was ordered to investigate this case, so I should see it through to the end."

Su Mu hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Zhao Ji, the acting head of the Southern City Division, is suspected of colluding with demons. I am willing to take over his position temporarily and lead the three squads of the Southern City Division to crush the Wutian Sect."

A thoughtful look appeared on He Yuxing's face. He also understood what Su Mu meant. Su Mu was willing to give him the credit, but Su Mu wanted the position of the head of the Nancheng Division.

To put it bluntly, this is an exchange.

Wei Yongfu blinked, looked at Su Mu, and then at He Yuxing.

He understood every word they said, but why did he feel confused when they were put together?
As expected, the officialdom is so complicated, I am still suitable to be a ghostwriter.

Wei Yongfu muttered to himself.

"Okay, Captain Su, I will now authorize you to do this. I hope you can accomplish your mission immediately and wipe out all those criminals!"

He Yuxing weighed the pros and cons for a moment and spoke.
