The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 82: Famous Sword Qiu Shui (First Order)

"Okay, let's bet!"

Butler Wang Qing said through gritting his teeth.

He knew his second young master too well. He was neither good at literature nor martial arts. Even if he could mobilize the entire Nancheng Division's troops, he did not have the command ability to capture the criminals on the wanted list.

The main reason is that ten blood-exchange pills are too tempting.

Even though he was highly regarded in the Wang family, he could only get one blood-transfer pill every six months.

Ten blood-exchanging pills could save him at least five years.

If one could enter the blood exchange realm in one fell swoop, the benefits would naturally be self-evident.

Since the second young master wants to promote me, how can I refuse?

"Hey, the famous sword Qiu Shui, it's mine."

Wang Guan laughed out loud.

Butler Wang Lai stood there with his hands in his hands, not taking it seriously in his heart. It would take more than ten days to catch a wanted criminal, not to mention whether there were any such people staying in Nancheng.

Even if there is, how can it be caught so easily?

Even if Wang Lai took action personally, he might not be able to do it.

Is there anyone in Nancheng who can compare to Wang Lai?
Maybe, but Nanjoji definitely didn't.

Among the hundreds of constables in the South City Division, the one with the highest cultivation seems to be only at the Flesh Tempering Stage. Flesh Tempering is only the second stage of Body Tempering.

When the king comes, he has reached the fourth level of body tempering!

At this moment, a figure hurried in, bowed to Wang Guan and Wang Lai and said, "Sir Sima, Captain Su is back."

"Oh? Are you back? Come on!"

Wang Guan's face was filled with joy and he said quickly.

Wang Lai had a blank expression on his face. He had learned about this so-called Captain Su before he came here. It was said that he was born a refugee. He didn't know how he got the favor of a Taiping lieutenant, who taught him a set of swordsmanship.

He had great talent and had mastered the swordsmanship to great effect. As it happened, Nancheng was hit by accidents one after another, which allowed him to be promoted to the chief of police.

Wang Lai admitted that Captain Su had good talent, but that was all. He started practicing too late, so his future achievements would definitely be limited.

Even if you are promoted by a big shot for a while, you will be brought back to your original state sooner or later.

The white clothes of the Taiping Division are just white clothes. It is still unknown whether the word "Taiping" can be embroidered on them.

The bigwigs in the inner city believed that it was impossible.

Wang Lai also agreed with this.

He showed an aptitude for martial arts since he was young and was trained by the Wang family. He began to practice martial arts at the age of ten, training in the coldest and hottest days of winter and summer, tempering his muscles at the age of thirty and his bones at the age of forty.

He is 42 years old this year and has made some progress in bone tempering. This progress is already very fast.

Can Captain Su compare to him?

"Sima——"

While Wang Lai was thinking, Zheng Wang said with an embarrassed look on his face, "I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave. Captain Su is waiting for you at the gate of the yamen."

"presumptuous!"

Wang Lai's face darkened and he angrily shouted, "How dare you, a small constable, be so arrogant that you dare to ask Lord Sima to go out to greet you?
Not to mention that he is just a small head of the police, even if he is a white-clothed officer of the Taiping Division, he is only a ninth-rank official. What qualifications does Sima have to meet him?"

Zheng Wang looked aggrieved. This was none of his business.

"Uncle Lai, there's no need for so much formality. Captain Su is our brother."

Wang Guan smiled and said, "It's just a quick response, no big deal."

As he said this, he walked out.

Wang Lai frowned, the second young master was indeed a good-for-nothing. After all, you are the head of Nancheng Division, but to be summoned by a constable like this is not only a loss of face for you, but also the face of our Wang family!
With a hint of anger, he took a step forward and followed.

Captain Su, right? We need to make him figure out who is in charge of the Nancheng Division!
"Master Sima, it's not that Captain Su is rude."

Zheng Wang followed Wang Guan closely and whispered, "It's just that it's inconvenient for him to come in. This time he went out and killed two murderers on the wanted list. The bodies were outside the government office. There were too many people watching, and he was afraid of chaos, so he was outside to maintain order."

boom!
Wang Lai, who was just crossing the threshold, stumbled when he heard this and tripped over the threshold. This great master who had reached the fourth level of body tempering and had already achieved a small success in bone tempering, almost fell flat on his face.

His eyes were wide open and his mouth was wide enough to fit a duck egg.

What are you talking about?

"What did you say?"

Before he could ask, Wang Guan grabbed Zheng Wang's arm and asked excitedly.

"Peng Li, who is ranked 95th on the wanted criminal list, and Gao Yuanhua, who is ranked 89th, have both been arrested by Captain Su, and are now waiting for you, Sir Sima, to verify their identities."

Zheng Wang also said excitedly.

"It's impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Wang Lai screamed.

The He family sent so many people to look for Peng Li, even two priests at the fourth level of body tempering were dispatched, but they still failed to capture Peng Li.

A small constable, whose strength is only at the second level of Body Tempering, how can he rely on that?
"Come on, uncle, nothing is impossible, we are brothers."

Wang Guan was overjoyed and said, "It's only been one day, and there are already two murderers on the wanted list. Uncle Lai, you have lost. You must accept the loss. Hurry up and get your Autumn Water Knife ready."

As he spoke, Wang Guan hurriedly ran outside and almost tripped over the hem of his official uniform.

…………

Nanchengsi, at the entrance of the yamen.

"Everyone, please disperse. Catching criminals and thieves is our duty as the Nancheng Division."

Su Mu stood on the steps with his hands behind his back and said to the onlookers, "These two people are a lesson for us. There will be no good end for those who commit adultery and break the law. Everyone should take this as a warning."

All the detectives looked at Su Mu with admiration.

It has to be Captain Su.

In the past, the chief constable of Nancheng Division had never done such a big thing except bullying the constables.

When they see the criminals on the wanted list, they would probably be the first to run away.

"Brother Su!"

A young man in official uniform ran out of the yamen, shouting breathlessly.

He ran so fast that his official hat became askew.

"Meet Sir Sima."

Su Mu bowed.

"No need to be polite."

Wang Guan waved his hand and said, "Brother Su, we meet again. Do you miss me? I think about you day and night."

Su Mu: "..."

He subconsciously distanced himself from Wang Guan.

This statement can easily be misunderstood.

He doesn't have any homosexual tendencies.

"Brother Su, you don't know that I have been thinking about you since I met you last time. I came to Nancheng to be a Sima just for you."

Wang Guan continued, not noticing that there was anything wrong with his words.

Zheng Wang and others also subconsciously took two steps back.

Is this something they can listen to?
Sima Wang looked like a decent person, but he turned out to be such a person!
They all lowered their heads, fearing that they would be noticed by Sima Wang.

Su Mu was speechless. If Wang Guan continued talking, who knows what would happen.

I'm afraid that by tomorrow, the whole of Nancheng will say that the Sima of Nancheng Division and the head of the police have that kind of relationship...

"Master Sima, these are the bodies of Peng Li and Gao Yuanhua. Please verify their identities."

Su Mu interrupted Wang Guan and said seriously, "If there is no problem, you can pay the bounty."

"Yes, let's do the business first, and I'll give you a gift later."

Wang Guan slapped his forehead and said.

"Coroner, Master, Uncle Lai, you all have to look carefully. Are these two the murderers on the wanted list?"

Wang Guan shouted loudly.

The coroner from Nanchengsi came hurriedly with tools and began to perform an autopsy.

The lawyer also found the wanted list and pulled out the wanted posters for Peng Li and Gao Yuanhua, checking their appearance features one by one.

Zheng Wang and others were busy driving away the people who were watching the excitement. Mainly, they wanted to stay away from Lord Sima.

It's so scary.

A full half hour passed.

The coroner and the lawyer came to Wang Guan and reported in a serious tone, "Sir Sima, it is indeed Peng Li and Gao Yuanhua."

Wang Lai also looked at the body in person and nodded with a somewhat grim expression.

"Hahaha!"

Wang Guan laughed proudly, "I just took office and immediately caught two criminals on the wanted list. I want to ask, who are the other four Simas in the outer city?"

He pinched his waist and looked like he was really awesome.

Su Mu kept three steps away from him. He was his immediate superior, so he must have a share of the credit.

"Master Sima, regarding the reward——"

Su Mu said that the reward he deserved must not be reduced by a single cent.

"Live well and you'll be rewarded!"

Wang Guan blurted out, "Master, what's the reward for these two guys? Double it for my brother Mu!"

At this moment, Brother Su has become Brother Mu.

The lawyer that Wang Guan brought from the Wang family had a bitter look on his face, "Sir, the reward is a fixed amount and cannot be changed at will..."

"I'm Sima, if I say I can do it, then I can do it! If you keep talking nonsense, do you believe I will drive you to raise pigs?"

Wang Guan said angrily.

The lawyer's face fell and he stepped aside reluctantly.

"Brother Mu, let's talk inside."

Wang Guan reached out to grab Su Mu's arm.

Su Mu turned his body slightly to avoid his hand.

"I still have to go patrol the streets. Sir Sima, if you have anything to say, please speak here."

Su Mu said, "There are no outsiders here."

Su Mu made up his mind that he would never stay alone in a room with Wang Guan again.

These playboys are too extravagant.

"Why would you, Brother Mu, personally take charge of something as trivial as patrolling the streets?"

Wang Guan waved his hand and said, "Just let the people below go."

"You must do your job. Since I am the head of the Southern City Police Department, I must be loyal to my duties and not slack off in the slightest."

Su Mu said.

"OK then."

Seeing Su Mu's serious expression, Wang Guan thought for a moment and said.

"Come on, uncle, hurry up and bring the things over."

Wang Guan turned around and shouted, "We may lose the fight, but we won't lose the battle. You better not be unable to afford to lose."

Wang Lai felt like crying but had no tears. He glared at Su Mu hatefully.

Su Mu was confused. "Old man, it seems like this is the first time I meet you. We have no grudge against each other. Why are you looking at me like that?"
It's like I stole your wife.

Wang Lai walked into the yamen and came back after a while, holding a knife in his hand.

Wang Guan snatched the knives away one by one.

"Second Master, be careful!"

Wang Lai felt so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.

He was rewarded with this knife because he risked his life to save the master. He has always regarded it as a treasure and is reluctant to use it on weekdays.

Seeing the treasure that he usually held in his arms for fear of dropping being treated so roughly, he almost cried.

Su Mu watched curiously. What kind of tricks were these two people performing?
"Brother Mu, this is for you."

Just as he was thinking about it, Wang Guan had already handed the knife to Su Mu.

"Give me?"

Su Mu was a little surprised.

"Yes."

Wang Guan said as a matter of course, "I made a bet with Uncle Lai, betting on whether I can catch a wanted criminal within ten days.

This knife is the bet.

Hey, it’s only the first day and you’ve already caught two, Brother Mu!
Brother Mu, you helped me win the bet, so the stake is naturally yours."

Su Mu suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the butler looked at him as if he had stolen his wife. So that's why.

"This is your bet, Sima. It has nothing to do with me—"

Su Mu hesitated and refused.

"That won't do. I, Wang Guan, am not that kind of person. In my opinion, whoever contributes must get benefits."

Wang Guan said, "If I win the bet, I will have face and you will benefit, then we can cooperate again next time."

There seems to be nothing wrong with this fallacy logically.

Su Mu said to himself.

"Besides, Brother Mu, don't you think that this knife in my hand was secretly thrown into my hand by some bright bead?"

Wang Guan continued.

You want to say Mingzhu secretly voted, right?
Su Mu was speechless. You are quite self-aware.

"Brother Mu, please accept it. This Qiu Shui is really good."

Wang Guan stretched out his hand again.

Having said this, Su Mu no longer refused.

He reached out and took the knife.

Following his movements, Wang Lai felt his heart shattered into seven or eight pieces, and his Qiu Shui——

Clang!
Su Mu pulled out the knife a little, and a cold feeling came over him.

"Good knife!"

He couldn't help but praise.

Before, I was somewhat envious of the sword in Luo An Ning's hand that could kill people without getting blood on it. Even if this Qiu Shui sword is not as good as the sword in Luo An Ning's hand, it is much better than the long sword he is using now.

"A precious sword is more suitable for a hero. This Qiu Shui sword made by a master craftsman should be in the hands of a hero like you, Brother Mu."

Wang Guan clapped his hands and said, "Uncle Lai, I'm not targeting you. I'm saying that Qiu Shui is wasted in your hands."

“……”Wang Lai suffered a heavy blow again.

"Master Sima, if there's nothing else, I'll go patrol the streets."

Su Mu sheathed the knife and carefully placed it around his waist.

His actions made Wang Lai feel a little more comfortable. At least Su Mu was not as rude as the second young master.

"Brother Mu, go ahead. I'm here. South City will be our territory from now on. You can do whatever you want. With our combined strengths, we will surely achieve great things."

Wang Guan waved his hand and spoke with great force.

"By the way, I'm hosting a banquet at the government office tonight to celebrate our reunion. Brother Mu, you must come."

Wang Guan continued, "Hehe, I specially invited the courtesan from Qunfanglou from the inner city, and I spent a lot of money on it..."

Su Mu wanted to refuse, but when he heard the word "Oiran", his heart moved slightly, "Is the Oiran good at playing musical instruments?"

"Of course. Your pipa is the best in Wuling City. Everyone who has heard it says it's good."

Wang Guandao.

"Okay, I'll attend the banquet."

Before Wang Guan could finish speaking, Su Mu agreed and turned and left.

"You must treat Qiu Shui well, otherwise I will never let you go!"

Wang Lai's voice came from behind, it was sad and heartbreaking.

　It's on the shelves now. Brothers, please help me and give me a first order. It's very important. Whether I eat meat or drink soup in the future depends on you brothers. I kowtow to you brothers~
