Chapter 1333 Crime Prevention
Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng, who were having a headache over the Nanzhou Four Sons case, naturally heard about Suning's rise first and were stunned by Suning's magical operation.

At this moment, Lu Lingfeng couldn't help but reveal an expression of admiration on his face, "Su Wuming, I didn't expect that Su Ning would have a breakthrough so quickly in He County."

"In fact, Suning is really very capable. If it weren't for his brutal way of doing things, I really want to turn him into Li Yuanfang beside my mentor." Su Wuming said the truth to Lu Lingfeng with a helpless look on his face.

"Hmph! I'd appreciate it if you could understand. While ability is certainly important, I believe that moral character is even more important."

"Ah! Perhaps you are right."

"Hahaha..." At this moment, the governor of Nanzhou, Xiong, walked in with a loud laugh.

At this moment, Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng looked at each other in surprise. Then Su Wuming looked at Governor Xiong in front of him, saluted and said, "Greetings, Governor."

Then Governor Xiong looked at Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng in front of him with a face full of surprise and said, "Well, Commander Su, Commander Lu, I have good news for you. Commander Si Hu has wiped out the bandits in He County."

"Sir Governor, we all know about this. This good news is spreading all over the place."

"No! Sima Su, you didn't hear me clearly. General Su has already wiped out all three gangs of bandits in He County."

"What? Is this news accurate? Didn't they just wipe out Feiyun Village the day before yesterday?" As expected, Governor Xiong's explanation made Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng open their eyes wide in shock.

"That's right! When I first received the good news from He County, I had the same idea as you, but after confirming it, I still felt it was incredible." In fact, Governor Xiong also found it a little difficult to understand.

"Governor Xiong, this is truly unbelievable. Has He County submitted a detailed battle plan?"

"Yes! After initially wiping out Feiyun Stronghold, the smallest bandit stronghold in He County, General Su led his troops, who had rested overnight, to Hujian Cliff the next day. Unexpectedly, Hujian Cliff was plagued by serious internal strife, so General Su's troops easily defeated Hujian Cliff. Then, General Su gave the captives at Hujian Cliff a chance to reform, allowing them to serve as accomplices to the He County militia. After the capture of Yixiantiantian, anyone who performed meritorious service could have their merits offset against their demerits. Therefore, today's attack on Yixiantiantian was also exceptionally smooth."

"Suning is amazing! He's only been in Hexian for a few days!"

"Sima Su, I originally thought that Su Ning was just a captain of the police force, but I didn't expect that you, Sima Su, are surrounded by talented people."

"You are overpraising Governor Xiong."

"Then our Nanzhou Prefecture Government will report this victory in He County to the imperial court. I believe the imperial court will reward General Su handsomely. I'm just worried that our small Nanzhou Prefecture Government won't be able to accommodate this great god."

"What Governor Xiong said makes sense! I've long since sensed that Su Ning was no ordinary person, but I didn't expect him to leave me so soon."

"Haha, don't worry, Sima Su! No matter how high Su will rise in the army, the relationship between him and you will always exist."

"..."

Su Wuming naturally didn't care much about what Governor Xiong said, but at this moment he felt a little sorry for Suning. You know, he was the one who begged Suning to come here, but he didn't expect to kick Suning away as soon as he encountered some setbacks and conflicts.

Although Su Wuming and Su Ning did not spend much time together, and Su Ning did not have the arrogance and nobleness of Lu Lingfeng, the pride in his bones was unmatched by anyone. He must have been very dissatisfied with sending him to He County.

However, it has been impossible to have both fish and bear's paw since ancient times. In addition, the conflict between Suning and Lu Lingfeng because of Pei Xijun destined Su Wuming to choose only one between Lu Lingfeng and Suning.

Moreover, Su Wuming realized early on that Su Ning would not be willing to be inferior to others, and that he would part ways with him sooner or later. Of course, he also really disliked Su Ning's decisiveness, so he finally chose Lu Lingfeng, who had a strong background.

……

At this time, the entire Nanzhou territory was in a frenzy. The public opinion that had been stirred up because of the Four Sons of Nanzhou some time ago was replaced overnight by the news that Suning had successively suppressed the three villages in Hexian County.

After all, from ancient times to the present, common people have always been a group that admires the strong. This is why they praised the Four Sons of Nanzhou in the past. However, love and romance are nothing compared to matters concerning their own life and death, so the attention of the people of Nanzhou was attracted by the stronger Suning.

Zhong Boqi, feeling that he had been upstaged, was furious. "Damn it! How can a vulgar military officer compare to us, the Four Sons of Nanzhou?"

"Huh? Boqi, how come you still have the mood to care about this kind of thing?" Leng Ji, who was also one of the Four Sons of Nanzhou, found it a little hard to understand.

"Leng Ji, you are wrong! I will never allow anyone in Nanzhou to be more powerful than us, the Four Sons of Nanzhou."

"Boqi, aren't you sad about the departure of Yan Yuanfu and Lu Gongfu?"

"Hmph! What a short-sighted view! It's pointless to just be sad. I don't think their spirits in heaven would want their reputations tarnished."

"This... Boqi, what do you want to do?"

"What to do? Naturally, make this crude warrior infamous."

"..."

At this time, Leng Ji naturally did not understand Zhong Boqi's stubbornness, because he still could not accept the death of Yan Yuanfu and Lu Gongfu, so he no longer paid attention to Zhong Boqi's rejection of Suning.

Then Zhong Boqi began to change his established plan, temporarily gave up the idea of killing Leng Ji, and instead directed all the conflicts towards the famous Suning.

Zhong Boqi had heard from Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng in advance that Su Ning had almost no resistance to women, so he specially found the absolute top star in Nanzhou Fenghua Field, thinking that Su Ning would definitely fall into his hands, and then naturally no one would praise Su Ning to the heads of the Four Sons of Nanzhou.

The doorman at the residence of the military officer Si Hu stopped Zhong Boqi and his companions who were visiting him and asked, "Who are you?"

"Please inform General Su that Zhong Boqi, the fourth son of Nanzhou, wants to see you regarding something important." At this time, Zhong Boqi looked at the doorman in front of him while suppressing his impatience and said.

"Please wait! I'll go and inform you." The doorman of the Sihu Canjun residence looked at Zhong Boqi and the singer behind Zhong Boqi, then understood what he meant and walked into the residence.

Zhong Boqi naturally noticed the lustful look the doorman gave the singer, and then he became more confident in his own plan. However, Zhong Boqi never thought of Su Ning's disgust towards the four men from Nanzhou, so Zhong Boqi's plan was doomed to fail.

The doorman, Lao Guo, walked up to Su Ning and reported, "Commander, there's a man outside who calls himself Zhong Boqi, one of the Four Sons of Nanzhou, asking to see you."

"Oh? Zhong Boqi?" Suning couldn't help but feel surprised at this time.

"Yes! This Zhong Boqi is accompanied by a gorgeous woman. It seems that this woman is the top girl Cuiyu from Deyue Tower in Nanzhou."

"Oh? Lao Guo, I didn't expect you to be a frequent visitor to Deyue Tower?"

"Huh? You must have misunderstood, General! I've only been to Deyue Tower a few times with the county magistrate before. With my salary, I naturally can't be a frequent visitor to Deyue Tower. So, I've only had the good fortune to see this Cuiyu girl from afar a few times."

"Well, go out and tell this Zhong Boqi that I was seriously injured while suppressing bandits and it's inconvenient to entertain outsiders now."

"Ah..." Menzi Lao Guo widened his eyes in shock.

However, Menzi Lao Guo's reaction made Suning unhappy, "What? Lao Guo, don't you understand what I said?"

At this moment, the doorman Lao Guo did not notice the displeasure on Su Ning's face. Instead, he looked at the Si Hu Canjun in front of him and explained, "No! Canjun, although only Leng Ji and Zhong Boqi are left of the Four Sons of Nanzhou, they are very famous in Nanzhou. It would not be a good idea to offend them so easily, right?"

"Old Guo, it seems you've been with the county magistrate for so long that you've started to make decisions for your superiors."

"Ah? Join the army, you misunderstood. I'll go out and drive Zhong Boqi away right now."

"Hmph! Old Guo, this is the first time you've made a decision for me, and of course it's the last time. If it happens again, please return to County Magistrate Chen."

"Huh? Yes! Join the army, Lao Guo understands." Then Lao Guo kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, turned around in panic and ran out to send Zhong Boqi away. Only then did he remember that this new soldier in the household department was a murderous devil.

Of course, Zhong Boqi was also unable to accept it at this time. Although he had always looked down on Su Ning, a mere warrior, he never dreamed that Su Ning would ignore him like this.

Upon learning of his rejection, Zhong Boqi flew into a rage, "Damn it! You're truly a vulgar warrior. How dare you ignore us, the Four Sons of Nanzhou?"

"Mr. Zhong, please respect yourself and don't embarrass yourself in the street." Lao Guo, the doorman who had already been warned by Suning, also noticed that Zhong Boqi was just empty talk.

"Humph! Tell that Si Hu Canjun of yours that I, Zhong Boqi, will definitely get this honor back."

"..."

At this time, the doorman Lao Guo looked at Zhong Boqi's figure who left angrily, and suddenly understood Suning's disregard in his heart, and realized that the so-called Four Sons of Nanzhou were indeed traitors.

You should know that Menzi Lao Guo is the confidant of County Magistrate Chen of He County. The reason why County Magistrate Chen sent him to serve Su Ning was that County Magistrate Chen wanted to show that he was trying to win over Su Ning, a military officer. Naturally, he would not dare to interfere in Su Ning's private affairs like he did today.

Leng Ji, who had been indifferent at first, also became angry. "What? Boqi, what did you say? That warrior Su Ning actually refused your request to see you?"

"Oh! Yes! I didn't expect that the reputation of the Four Sons of Nanzhou has fallen to this level. A small warrior can ignore us like this." Zhong Boqi sighed and shook his head.

"Hmph! Boqi, you're right. It seems we really can't tolerate such a crude warrior any longer."

"Leng Ji, you really have understood. Next, we must unite again and defend the dignity of the Four Sons of Nanzhou."

"Bo Qi's words make sense."

……

Suning naturally didn't care much about offending the Four Sons of Nanzhou. After all, in Suning's eyes, they were just frogs in a well, and Zhong Boqi was a very extreme murderer. It was absolutely extraordinary that he could think of killing people according to the map. Naturally, he couldn't have too much contact with such a paranoid person.

After completing the bandit suppression in He County, he began his real plan on a rainy day.

Suning led a large number of county constables and local militia to besiege the Confucian Temple, which was the place where the "Huangmei Murder Case" took place. This time he wanted to capture the bandit in advance, so that the "Huangmei Murder Case" could be eliminated in advance.

Liu Youqiu and Dugu Xiashu, who had received the news, were apprehended along with the little beggar, Dong Lang. "Sir, is there some misunderstanding? This is the Confucian Temple in He County."

"Liu Youqiu? Uncle Dugu Xia?" At this time, Su Ning looked at the three people in front of him and asked indifferently.

"Eh? Sir, we are Liu Youqiu and Uncle Dugu Xia."

However, Suning once again asked that key figure, Jixiang, "Where is Jixiang, the temple patron saint of Wenmiao?"

"Ah? Sir, Jixiang was still in the Confucian Temple just now." Liu Youqiu and Dugu Xiashu responded in confusion.

"Someone is coming."

"Join the army, what are your orders?"

"Send people into the Confucian Temple to search. We must not let this vicious criminal escape."

"Yes! Join the army."

Then a large group of capturers went straight to the Confucian Temple and searched it carefully. Under the shocked gazes of Liu Youqiu and Dugu Xiashu, they captured the bandit Lingjian from the neighboring state who went by the alias Jixiang from inside the Confucian Temple.

Jixiang, who was captured by the captors, suppressed his fear and asked, "Sir, is there any misunderstanding?"

"Jixiang, whose original name was Lingjian, was apparently the priest of the Confucian Temple in He County, but he was actually a bandit who was rampant in Songzhou. Is there anything wrong with what I said?" However, Suning revealed Jixiang's true identity with a sneer.

"What?" At this time, Liu Youqiu and Dugu Xiashu on the side widened their eyes in shock, and even the little beggar Donglang looked at Jixiang with fear on his face.

"General Su, I wonder where I let myself be fooled?" As expected, Jixiang had a look of despair on his face at this moment.

"Humph! If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself! Although you have been living in seclusion in the Hexian Confucian Temple for the past few years, there have always been legends about you circulating in the martial arts world. Naturally, there are people in the martial arts world who know your true whereabouts."

"Hey! I, Lingjian, am convinced that I have met a soldier like you and ended up in this situation today."

At this moment, Suning received the catcher Song Chun who came over with a large bag of gold, silver and jewelry in his hands. "Join the army, as expected, we found a large bag of gold, silver and jewelry in the mezzanine of the Confucian Temple."

"Jixiang, what else do you want to say next?"

"..." At this moment, Jixiang looked completely dejected.

"Song Chun, just seal up this Confucian temple and wait until the case is over before we discuss it."

"Yes! Join the army."

At this time, Liu Youqiu and Dugu Xiashu immediately disagreed, "General, it's enough for you to just capture this vicious bandit. Why did you seal off the entire Confucian Temple?"

"Hmph! You two idiots, hiding in the Confucian Temple and enjoying your leisure time, aren't you afraid that others will rob your homes?" Su Ning looked at Liu Youqiu and Dugu Xiashu in front of him with a look of disgust.

"Ah? Stealing the house?" As expected, both Liu Youqiu and Dugu Xiashu looked a little dumbfounded.

"Liu Youqiu, your parents are quite old, aren't they? Aren't you afraid that something bad might happen to them one day?"

"I……"

Then Su Ning turned to look at Uncle Dugu Xia and reminded him, "And you, Uncle Dugu Xia, are from the famous Dugu family. Although you have fallen to this point, you have already established a family and a career. Aren't you afraid that your wife will be deceived by others?"

"No! No way! I have great confidence in my wife Qinghong. She will never betray me." However, at this moment, Uncle Dugu Xia widened his eyes and shook his head desperately.

"Naive! Everyone has their own price. The only reason they haven't betrayed you is simply because the price they offered isn't high enough."

"This……"

At this moment, Su Ning patted his shoulder with rare patience and advised, "Uncle Dugu Xia, listen to my advice. Go home and spend more time with your wife. Never do anything that you will regret later."

"Uncle Dugu Xia thanks the general for his teachings."

"Well, life is short after all, so cherishing the people around you is the most important thing."

"Yes! Sir."
