Chapter 147 Conflict

Security Prefecture.

Su Yu summoned Song Jing and inquired about the sealing off of many shops on Jinyu Street.

Upon hearing this, Song Jing stepped forward and whispered, "Sir, the Security Bureau has just been established and is currently looking for people to establish its authority. Many merchants on Jinyu Street haven't paid taxes before, so it's likely that someone has found a pretext to crack down on that area."

"But who to use to establish authority is just a matter of a word from the brothers in our police station. With you protecting the Yang family, we can just put in a good word for them, and there shouldn't be any problems."

Su Yu nodded. "Let's go take a look."

As soon as the two pushed open the door and stepped out, a person came forward to announce, "Captain Su, Commander Li requests your presence, saying he has important matters to discuss."

"Now?"

"Yes."

Su Yu frowned; the timing was terrible.

Song Jing was a quick-witted man, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "Sir, the commander must have important matters to discuss with me. The Yang family's matter is just a minor dispute. They are all colleagues from the Public Security Bureau, so it's not a big deal if we can be lenient with them. I will take Yuan An and the others to handle it."

Su Yu pondered for a moment. "Alright, you go first. Remember, just take care of the Yang family."

"yes!"

"Su Yu is here. Come, have a seat! Try this Qingquan tea that was brought from Jian'an Prefecture."

Su Yu sat down as instructed, took a sip, and praised, "Excellent tea."

Then he asked directly, "May I ask what business the commander has with me?"

Li Jingxuan smiled slightly on his plump face: "You performed exceptionally well in managing the strange situation in your jurisdiction last time, and I, the commander, felt I couldn't let your talent go to waste. Now, the focus of the prefecture is twofold: the security of Blackstone City and the source of this strange situation."

Su Yu listened quietly and nodded slightly.

"I've heard you come from a fisherman's family and are an excellent swimmer. I'd like you to lead a team to investigate the origin of this strange phenomenon on behalf of our Golden Scale Guard. This is a long-term mission, and the prefecture has also arranged for several other elite teams to work together."

Investigating the source of the strange occurrences?

We have to go deep into the Blackwater River, but that's not that easy.

Su Yu did not immediately accept the task, but listened quietly.

Upon seeing Su Yu's reaction, Li Jingxuan immediately laughed and said, "Of course, don't worry about this task. It's an extra task that will earn you merit. If you do it well, the manor will reward you handsomely. If you don't achieve anything, they won't blame you."

As he spoke, Li Jingxuan took out a brocade box from the drawer and handed it to Su Yu: "I, the commander, have high hopes for your work performance. This is a gift from me personally. Keep up the good work!"

Su Yu took the brocade box and opened it.

A root, about the size of a fist and the color of beeswax and topaz, lay quietly inside. Its surface was crisscrossed with clear textures and emitted a rich, strong fragrance.

Just one sniff of it makes you feel a slight stirring of your blood and energy.

"This is... Solomon's Seal?" Su Yu's gaze sharpened.

"Not bad." Li Jingxuan was quite pleased with himself. "This item has been buried underground for a hundred years, absorbing the essence of the earth. For martial artists, it is a precious medicine that replenishes essence and marrow, and can greatly increase qi and blood. If you take it when you are in the Skin Tempering Realm, it will greatly benefit your qi and blood foundation."

nice one!

Su Yu did not refuse and readily accepted the gift: "Thank you for your guidance, Commander! I will certainly do my utmost!"

This valuable item could rapidly enhance his vital energy and overall strength; it was priceless. Li Jingxuan gave it to him as both a gesture of goodwill and a reward, and he had no reason to refuse.

As for investigating the strange occurrences deep within the Blackwater River, he had already considered doing so.

He no longer has enough resources. Whether it's breaking through limits or advancing in martial arts realm, he needs more resources. He will have to go to the depths of the Blackwater River sooner or later.

It would be much less dangerous to go with the police station, since there will definitely be more experts going with us.

"Thank you very much, Commander. I will certainly not slack off in my work from now on!"

"Excellent! Su Yu, you are indeed a young talent. I look forward to seeing more of your performances in the future!"

Jinyu Street.

Kong Jia sat imposingly in his armchair, watching his enforcement team members shutting down shops one after another.

A glint of greed flashed in his sinister eyes.

This magistrate's office is indeed a good job!

With so many shops, those who come to Shiguang to manage them must be making a fortune!

At this moment, Yang Ai led Song Jing and others to arrive in a hurry, pointing to a shop that had been sealed off and saying, "Lord Song, this is our Yang family's shop."

"Miss Yang, don't worry. Lord Su is a captain of the Golden Scale Guard, and his colleagues will give him some face."

As he spoke, Song Jing led Yuan An and the other two behind him to Kong Jia's side.

"May I ask your honorable name, sir? I am Song Jing, captain of the Golden Scale Guard of the Security Bureau. Greetings, sir."

Upon seeing the newcomer, a cold glint flashed in Kong Jia's eyes. He remained seated in his armchair, showing no respect for Song Jing: "When carrying out official business, do not obstruct us."

Upon hearing this, Song Jing frowned.

I've already identified myself as a member of the Public Security Bureau, so why is this person still acting this way? Is he just a hothead?

"My lord, I am here on the orders of Commander Su of the Golden Scale Guard to inquire about the closure of the Yang family's shops."

Kong Jia immediately sneered: "Su Yu? Who does he think he is! He dares to ask me about the Golden Jade Guard's law enforcement! Get lost!"

""

These words were tantamount to a public slap in the face. How could Song Jing back down like this? It would not only be a loss of face for himself, but also for Su Yu, and even for the Golden Scale Guard.

His self-assurance immediately turned cold. "Sir, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. We're all colleagues in the Security Bureau. Are you deliberately trying to provoke conflict between the two guard posts? I wonder if Commander Zhao is aware of what you're saying?"

Seeing Song Jing trying to intimidate others with his superior status, Kong Jia sneered and said, "Bullshit! How can a mere captain like you represent the Golden Scale Guard!"

"I, Kong Jia, am currently enforcing the law in this jurisdiction. What do you intend to do by bringing your men here? Are you obstructing law enforcement?"

As he spoke, he jumped up, drew a long knife from the ground, and stared at Song Jing with a fierce glint in his eyes.

"Song Jing of the Golden Scale Guard is obstructing the enforcement of the law by my Golden Jade Guard! He's courting death!"

Kong Jia shouted loudly and slashed his long sword at Song Jing's chest.

Song Jing was immediately taken aback, never expecting this person to attack him directly. If this strike landed, he would definitely be seriously injured.

He quickly retreated in fright, the blade slicing past his chest, tearing his clothes to shreds.

"You're asking for death!" Song Jing's face was also furious. This attack was ruthless. He drew his long sword from his waist and began to counterattack.

Behind them, Yuan An and the others were also taken aback. They hadn't expected the Jin Yuwei to be so arrogant, and they immediately went to provide support.

At this moment, four martial arts team members under Kong Jia also arrived and immediately surrounded the three and attacked them.

On Yuan An's side, because Zhao Tie had gone to lead a patrol in the jurisdiction, there weren't enough people, and the three of them were quickly surrounded in a three-on-four situation.

Song Jing's situation was even more dire.

Less than three moves.

"puff!"

He was slashed in the arm, blood gushed out, and the long sword fell from his hand.

"waste!"

"Bring that coward Su Yu over here!"

Song Jing pressed his arm wound, beads of sweat dripping down his forehead. The pain also made his mind much clearer.

Second orifice!

Kong Jia is a captain-level expert with secondary acupoints; he was just toying with me.

No, no, he's deliberately causing trouble!

He attacked as soon as he heard my name; it was clearly intentional. He obviously knew Lord Su's name when I mentioned him earlier!

His target is Lord Su!

His gaze fell on Yang Ai, who had come with him, and he was startled to see her turn around and go to inform Su Yu.

not good!

Kong Jia is a secondary acupoint, and I'm afraid you're no match for him. If you come alone, you'll lose face, and that will cause you trouble in this prefecture!

"Men, arrest these people who are obstructing law enforcement, especially this Song Jing, who dared to disobey his superior and attack this captain! He must be severely punished!"
