"Sir Wang, the chief of the city defense army died in your South City. Your South City Division is to blame for this! If you don't hand over the murderer as soon as possible, it will be difficult for you, General."

A man dressed in military uniform stared at Wang Guan and said in a deep voice.

"Don't use the general to pressure me, if you have the guts, let the general to beat me!"

Wang Guan said indignantly, "I fucking know who the murderer is."

"I don't know, just go check."

The man said coldly.

"It is not your turn to teach me how to do things in Nancheng Division."

Wang Guanzheng was so angry that he was fuming when suddenly a voice was heard.

Then a young man walked in from outside the hall.

"Brother Mu! You are finally here!"

Wang Guan was overjoyed, as if he had seen a savior.

The man dressed in military uniform narrowed his eyes slightly, with a dangerous light flashing in his pupils, and his gaze immediately fell on Su Mu.

Su Mu walked in slowly and stopped five steps away from the man.

Wang Lai stood behind Wang Guan, his hand subconsciously gripping the hilt of the knife at his waist, his expression extremely solemn.

He knew that this soldier was as strong as him.

Moreover, these soldiers are always hot-tempered and may start fighting if they disagree with something.

If this angers him, he won't care about his status as the second young master.

Anyway, as long as the second young master is not killed, the general of the city defense army can protect him.

As for killing a few outsiders, the Wang family would not fall out with the city defense forces.

Su Mu, ah Su Mu, you are looking for death, I can't protect you.

Wang Lai said to himself.

"Who are you?"

Zheng Tu stared at Su Mu and said coldly.

"Captain of the South City Division, Su Mu."

Su Mu said calmly.

"Captain? Very good!"

Zheng Tu said coldly, "Since you are the captain of the police, I give you three days to arrest the murderer who killed Ding Tixia. Otherwise, my eyes may recognize you, but my knife cannot recognize you!"

"Since your knife doesn't recognize me, there's no need to keep it."

Su Mu said calmly.

Before he finished speaking, a hint of two barriers suddenly bloomed.

Zheng Tu's pupils shrank, and then his face was filled with anger.

How dare a small constable attack him?

"No!"

Wang Lai's face changed drastically, and he struggled in his heart whether to rescue Su Mu.

In his opinion, Su Mu could not be a match for Zheng Tu.

Before he could make a decision, Zheng Tu had already drawn his knife.

Ding!
There was a crisp sound.

Wang Lai thought to himself, it’s over.

But the next moment, what happened before his eyes made him open his eyes wide.

Su Mu slowly put the Autumn Water Knife back into its sheath.

Zheng Tu took a half step back, holding a half-broken knife in his hand.

The upper half of the blade fell to the ground with a clang.

"Knife force!"

Zheng Tu's face was filled with confusion.

Only a handful of people in the city defense army have mastered the use of the sword.

Although Zheng Tu was quite powerful, he had never mastered any sword moves.

How could a small constable from Nancheng Division master the power of a knife?
Zheng Tu had some good eyesight and he saw clearly that in just a moment, the opponent had swung nine swords in a row, and each sword hit the same place.

The superposition of the nine levels of power, plus the unusual knife in the opponent's hand, was why the long knife in his hand was cut off.

This is clearly an extremely powerful sword move.

He looked at the broken knife in his hand, and a hint of fear flashed deep in his eyes.

With such powerful sword power, even if the opponent is weaker than me, he still has a chance to kill me.

He had no confidence that he could withstand this kind of knife force if it happened again.

Wang Lai opened his mouth wide, his eyes full of disbelief.

What did he see?
Su Mu cut off Zheng Tu's sword with one strike?

Zheng Tu’s strength is not inferior to mine.

By the way, Qiu Shui!
It must be Qiu Shui!

My Qiu Shui is a famous sword that can cut through iron like mud!

Wang Lai comforted himself in his heart, but only he himself knew how much he believed it deep in his heart.

The deep frustration in his eyes betrayed his true thoughts.

The gap between people is sometimes even greater than the gap between people and dogs.

"Haha! Brother Mu, well done!"

Wang Guan clapped his hands and cheered.

Zheng Tu’s face became even gloomier.

"Okay, you Nanchengsi want to bully others by taking advantage of your power, right?"

Zheng Tu said in a deep voice, his tone was many times softer than before.

"Bullying others by taking advantage of your power? Who was trying to bully others by taking advantage of your power just now? Now that you can't beat them, you still want to bite back?"

Wang Guan was not one to suffer a loss. He sneered and said, "If you don't accept it, let's fight again!"

Zheng Tu snorted coldly and turned away, not wanting to look at Wang Guan's face.

"Ding Tixia died in Nancheng. You, the Nancheng Division, must give our city defense army an explanation. Otherwise, even if I agree, the general will not agree!"

Zheng Tu looked at Su Mu and said.

He was not sure that he could defeat the other party, but a small captain of police was nothing but an ant in front of the city defense army.

"The Nancheng Division will investigate the case, but it is not the turn of outsiders to dictate how it will be investigated."

Su Mu said coldly, "Let me ask you, the captain of the city defense army is not in the barracks, and he is also qualified to live in the inner city. What is he doing in the south city in the middle of the night?"

"This……"

Zheng Tu was speechless.

Of course he knew why Ding Zhidou came to the outer city.

Many people in the city defense army knew about Ding Zhidou's shameful habits, but because of Ding Zhidou's strength and talent, the higher-ups turned a blind eye to it.

But this kind of thing cannot be talked about.

Should we tell these people from Nancheng Division that Ding Zhidou appeared in Nancheng in order to sleep with his subordinates’ wives?

If that were really the case, the reputation of the city defense army would be ruined by tomorrow, and by then, the city lord might even go to talk to the general.

Damn Ding Zhidou, you deserve it!
Zheng Tu cursed in his heart. He wanted to turn around and leave, regardless of Ding’s mess.

But if a captain in the army was assassinated and the murderer was not caught, wouldn’t the city defense army be humiliated?

"Tixia Ding appeared in South City because he had official business to attend to."

Zheng Tu reluctantly explained that if the captain asked him about official business, he would say it was a military secret and it was inconvenient to disclose.

Zheng Tu secretly praised himself for his cleverness.

"Since it was official business, I seriously suspect that his death was related to the official duties he performed, or that the person who killed him was an enemy of your city defense army. If so, I think you should know who the murderer is, and there is no need for us, the South City Division, to interfere."

Su Mu said lightly.

Zheng Tu opened his mouth, unable to express his pain.

Damn it, why doesn’t this detective play by the rules?

Ding Zhidou is performing shitty official duties!

The bastard went to sleep with someone else’s wife!
By the way, the person who killed him could not be——

Zheng Tu suddenly had an idea. If his wife was slept with by someone, he would definitely kill the man. But the soldier was on duty in the camp last night and had no time to commit the crime.

Could it be that the other wives were raped by the soldiers they slept with?
who can that be?

Zheng Tu's mind was in a mess when he thought about it. The damn Ding Zhidou had slept with too many people's wives. Any one of those people could be the murderer.

At the beginning, a small captain tried to assassinate him, but he killed him on the spot, causing a big chaos.

There are so many possible murderers.

Zheng Tu cursed in his heart, isn't this just asking for death?
"I understand. You, Nancheng Division, don't need to worry about this matter!"

Zheng Tu said in a low voice.

Family disgrace should not be made public. Let the Nancheng Division investigate this matter. If it is found out that the murderer is someone in the city defense army, will the general still have face?
For now, we can only leave it at that.

Anyway, that bastard Ding Zhidou deserved to be put to death. The most we can do is announce to the public that he was murdered while performing his duties. This will also save the face of the city defense army.

Zheng Tu picked up the broken knife on the ground and walked away dejectedly.

Wang Guan laughed out loud.

"You son of a bitch, you come to my Nancheng and act so arrogant, but you don't even look at who is in my Nancheng!"

Wang Guan laughed and said, "You have seen how powerful my Great Xuan Shuanglong is today, right?"

The Great Xuan Twin Dragons?

Su Mu looked confused.

Wang Lai and his master were also confused.

"Brother Mu, you and I, the Great Xuan Shuanglong!"

Wang Guan pointed at Su Mu and then at himself.

Wang Lai and his master were immediately confused.

Where do you get the confidence to be compared with Captain Su?
Unconsciously, Wang Lai and his master also began to use respectful titles for Su Mu in their hearts.

That’s right, although Su Mu is just a small captain now, they have already seen that Su Mu’s future is absolutely limitless.

For the first time, they felt that their good-for-nothing Second Young Master was not completely useless, and it seemed that his vision was correct.

"Sima, you are too kind. You are a real dragon, and I am just a small head constable."

Su Mu was somewhat speechless. He had ulterior motives in showing off his strength a little, but he didn't want to be flattered to death.

He knew in his heart that there was still a long way to go between him and the real masters.

The sword that Lin Qihuan used to kill the demon has always been deeply imprinted in his mind.

He still feels terrified when he thinks of that knife.

I don't know when he will be able to use that knife.

"Brother Mu, how are you going to investigate Ding Zhidou's death?"

Wang Guan didn't say much, but asked with curiosity.

"No checking."

Su Mu said, "Didn't the city defense army just say that we don't need to investigate."

"I really don't want to check it anymore."

Wang Guan said with regret that this kind of murder case was all due to merit.

If the murderer can be caught, wouldn't it be another great achievement in Sima's resume?

He was still thinking of becoming an official based on his merits, and then going back to the inner city to slap the faces of those guys who looked down on him.

"Sima, Zheng Tu clearly already knows who the murderer is. There is no need for us to investigate this kind of thing."

The master reminded Wang Guandao in a low voice.

"OK then."

Wang Guan sighed and said, "What a pity, Brother Mu, I was thinking that if you could solve this case, I would take the opportunity to petition the city lord to let you be the chief judge.

The chief constable is too young and not worthy of you.

It just so happens that those two old guys, Si Cheng and Zhu Bu, resigned and left..."

Si Cheng and Zhu Bu not only resigned from their posts, but also left Wuling City. Su Mu knew all this.

Su Mu even went to see them off, and seeing that they were burdened too heavily, he helped them lighten a lot of their burdens.

"As long as you work hard, you will get the credit."

Su Mu said.

When officials in Wuling City are promoted, their abilities are the first thing to consider, along with their qualifications and achievements.

Strength is comprehensive. In addition to one's own strength, background and connections are all part of strength.

Su Mu has no background, and although he has some connections, they are nothing compared to the deep-rooted gentry and wealthy families.

However, his own cultivation level is more than enough to be a Sicheng in the outer city.

This is also the reason why he just deliberately revealed some of his strength.

To be an official, you have to climb up step by step.

In terms of qualifications and achievements, Su Mu is indeed somewhat lacking.

After all, the time he served as the chief constable was too short. Even if he had been busy all the time, his contributions were limited.

However, the two kills of Peng Li and Gao Yuanhua before can make up for this shortcoming to a great extent.

If Su Mu was willing to follow Luo Anning's path, then becoming Si Cheng would actually be easy.

Luo An Ning is not a playboy like Wang Guan who has no family status. She is a real daughter of a wealthy family.

However, it is not worth using Luo Anning's connections just for the position of Si Cheng.

That's like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito; what a waste.

"That's what I said, but if I don't have any merit, even if I submit a report, the city lord will most likely reject it."

Wang Guan said in distress.

As the second son of the Wang family, he has no face at all in front of the city lord.

The position of Sima was obtained by the Wang family at a huge price.

He really doesn't have the ability to directly decide Si Cheng's affiliation.

"I'm not asking you to force yourself to take the lead. Since you want to take the position of Si Cheng, then I naturally have to show some ability."

Su Mu smiled and said, "This matter still has to fall on the shoulders of the city defense army."

"City Defense Force?"

Wang Guan and the other two all looked confused.

They have no relationship with the city defense forces.

Didn’t you see how Zheng Tu bullied them just now?

"Brother Mu, the city defense army belongs to the Xie family. I really have no say in this."

Wang Guan said weakly.

There are four major families in the inner city of Wuling City: Luo, Xie, Wang and He.

The Xie family ranks second in power, even above the Wang family.

"If I tell you that there are people in the city defense army who are privately selling bows, crossbows, arrows and armor, what will you say?"

Su Mu said with a smile.

"Can't you?"

Wang Guan and the other two all had looks of surprise and uncertainty on their faces.

Bows, crossbows, arrows, and armor are all things that are strictly controlled by the Great Xuan Dynasty. Ordinary people who keep them privately will be beheaded.

"Nothing is impossible. If I can solve the case of smuggling and selling crossbow arrows and armor, will this merit be enough for me to move up a level and become the Secretary of the South City Department?"

Su Mu said.

Si Cheng is the second in command of Nancheng Si and holds the eighth rank.

Wang Guan glanced at his master, he had no clear idea of ​​these.

The master thought for a moment and said, "Everyone has seen the strength of Captain Su, there is absolutely no problem with that.

In terms of merit, Captain Su arrested Peng Li and Gao Yuanhua. If he solves another arms smuggling case, I think the city lord will not be able to say much.

I think, let alone the Si Cheng, even the Sima of the outer city can do it. "

"That's it!"

Wang Guan said excitedly, "Brother Mu, tell me what to do. I fully support you. To be honest, my sword is thirsty!"
