Snake Gate
The commander of the three cities’ Martial Arts Division was about to leave when Luo Hongsheng spoke.
“Everyone, what do you think of the Four Directions Inspector?”
“Very young. I still have to go back to deal with some matters, so I won’t talk to the two of you anymore.” Zhang Baishan smiled. After saying that, he left.
Luo Hongsheng was a little displeased. He looked at Qin Lei, the commander of Linjiang City.
“Now that the Patrol Department has just been established, it’s better to regulate it.” However, Qin Lei understood that Luo Hongsheng had a hidden meaning in his words. He simply replied and left with cupped fists.
Everyone had their own choices. What Luo Hongsheng did was his own business.
“Ah…” Luo Hongsheng sighed, “Turn back… I want to turn back too, Lord Su… Will you give me a chance?”
Luo Hongsheng’s expression was complicated. There was greed, regret, and finally determination.
As long as he wasn’t discovered, nothing would happen, right?
…
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Su Yang’s sword intent level had reached Lv. 21! As the level increased, the improvement Su Yang received for each level increased. After reaching level 21, Su Yang’s sword intent could already cover 1,200 meters.
This was the range of the sword intent. Within this range, Su Yang could control the sword intent at will.
After his sword intent reached Lv. 21, Su Yang felt that killing a third-grade martial artist was just a matter of thought. As for the second grade, it was not impossible to use sword techniques.
This was the improvement of his sword intent in the past three days. Other than that, there were also additional gains.
Three days. His orders were still effective. The Martial Suppression Division of the four cities began to spin. The will of all living beings in his hands was increasing, and the fog that enveloped the four cities was dissipating.
In just three days, he had obtained 20 wisps of living beings ‘will. It meant that they had listened to him. As for how much he listened to…He would know when the half-month period ended.
Other than the sword intent and the will of all living beings, there was also the physique. After soaking in the Boiling Blood Medicinal Bath, he finally broke through to ninth grade. The muscles, bones, and skin of the entire body have been strengthened. Dealing with four or five ordinary people was a piece of cake.
After entering ninth grade, wielding a sword could no longer have much effect on his body. The next problem was the speed of his sword swing and the time he spent swinging it every day.
Su Yang had just tested it. In an hour, he could slash about 1,200 times. In a day, he could slash about 14,400 times.
The improvement was not bad. At this speed, he could shorten the time needed to raise his sword intent to Lv. 30.
[Sword Intent proficiency +1]
Actually, this felt pretty good…
…
In Martial Suppression Division, Linjiang City, Qin Lei sat opposite an elder from the largest sect in the area.
“The wages for the snake breeders in the city must be raised to a normal level. What you’re currently paying them is too little.”
“Furthermore, for the families who lost someone due to being forced into snake breeding, you need to provide them with compensation.”
After returning from the Patrol Department, Qin Lei had been dealing with the cases in Linjiang City. Some of the cases that his subordinates could solve had basically been dealt with.
However, in Linjiang City, there was also a problem that could not be shaken off, that was the Snake Gate.
Across from him, a middle-aged man with sunken cheeks and a naturally gloomy complexion couldn’t help but sneer. “Commander Qin, what kind of benevolence is this? A portion of the silver that was deducted went into your pocket.”
“But what does it matter if some ordinary folks die?”
Qin Lei frowned. In the past, he had indeed thought this way, but this time was different. The Patrol Department had been officially established, so they would definitely be serious.
“It’s different this time. The imperial court has established a department called the Patrol Department to specifically supervise the Martial Suppression Division. At this stage, we can’t act recklessly. Otherwise, I won’t be the only one in trouble.”
“Commander Qin, are you afraid?” Chu Sen asked.”
“If Commander Qin is afraid, you can choose not to take the money.” Chu Sen said coldly, “However, our Snake Gate will definitely not pay more than that. It is already a great favor for us to give these commoners a mouthful of food and not starve them to death.”
“If they want more money…There was no way, let alone any pension.”
“Aren’t you afraid that the Patrol Department will find the Snake Gate?” Qin Lei was a little angry, “I’m not sure what will happen then.”
Actually, before he had discussed this with the other party, Qin Lei had already predicted this situation. The difference in strength between him and Snake Sect was too great. What right did he have to ask the other party?
In fact, when the other party had asked him to join forces to oppress the people, he had not been too willing to do so. However, after Snake Gate displayed a strength that he could not afford to provoke and threatened him, he had no choice but to cooperate.
He even knew that if he was the commander of the Martial Suppression Division, he could save a lot of trouble by roping him in.
“Hahaha…” Chu Sen burst into laughter. “Coming after the Snake Sect? Let him come then. Let me tell you, our Sect Master has already reached the third-grade level. Unless they are one of the top experts in Tianfeng County, the Inspector won’t dare to come after us for the sake of a few commoners.”
“Let’s not talk about whether it’s worth it or not. Do you think the Four Directions Inspector you mentioned dares?”
Chu Sen laughed and left.
Pay a higher price to the snake farmers? What a joke…Snake Gate’s reward was already not bad, but they still dared to ask for more. They were really greedy.
Qin Lei could only watch as the other party left. He couldn’t do anything, and he didn’t dare to do anything either. A moment later, he deflated like a balloon losing air.
]Qin Lei sighed helplessly, “Lord Su, this is all I can do. The Snake Gate’s sect master has entered third grade. Without paying the price, who can control Tianfeng County?”
He admired Su Yang’s idea, but more often than not, he needed to look at reality. As officials, who would want to rule a place without any problems? However, against a deep-rooted family and a powerful sect. Sometimes, they were really powerless.
Qin Lei sighed and decided to report this matter to the higher-ups. Su Yang would decide how to decide.
Other than Qin Lei, Yellow Mountain City also faced strong resistance.
The darkness in the world had never disappeared. When people wanted to eliminate the darkness, they would inevitably be counterattacked by the darkness.
In Huangshan City, Zhang Baishan listened to Su Yang’s orders to deal with a pile of cases. He had long wanted to clean up Huangshan City’s foul atmosphere, but because of the severe consequences, he had not dared to act rashly.
It was different this time. Not only did he have Su Yang backing him up, but he also had the help of an examiner.
What was there to be afraid of? Arrest them all!
Squeezing the people’s industries? Seize them all!
Zhang Baishan’s violent actions immediately caused him to be boycotted by the three great families of Huangshan City.
The soldiers who arrested and seized the property were either beaten to the point where they could not get off the bed.
Zhang Baishan and Lei Ze went to ask for an explanation. On the surface, the three families were honest and said that they should compensate. It was their subordinates who were not sensible. However, in the blink of an eye, they were ambushed on the way back.
At this moment, Zhang Baishan and Lei Ze were sitting opposite each other, “Haha…” Zhang Baishan couldn’t help but smile bitterly, “You see, sometimes, it’s not that I don’t want to take care of it.”
Lei Ze’s eyes were also filled with anger. “Don’t worry, this matter is not over yet!”
