It’s Hard to Be an Honest Official

In the courtyard, Su Yang was waving his long sword to increase his sword intent. The white Qi suddenly dissipated a little, turning into a wisp of the will of all living beings and entering his mind.

At this point, Su Yang understood that the wishes of the people were the source of the white gas. When missions appeared, it was the common wish of many commoners. For example, hundreds of thousands of people wanted to punish Li Ming.

After a while, Zhang Hu walked into the courtyard.

“Sir, we have solved six assault cases. This is the money that the assailants handed over in order to avoid jail time.” Zhang Hu opened a box and found a pile of silver ingots inside.

Su Yang frowned. How could there be so much money? He asked them to rectify public security. Were they going to collect money?

No… Soon, he thought of the Da Xia laws and understood what was going on. This was a sum of money to subsidize the soldiers. It was one of the benefits that the Da Xia Dynasty gave to the soldiers of the Military Department.

“As far as I know, soldiers receive five taels of silver a month, and sergeants receive fifteen taels of silver a month, right?”

“Yes, Sir.”

“How about this, 20% will be given to the brothers, you will take 10%, 50% will be given to the brothers to buy cultivation resources, and the last 20% will be mine.” Su Yang made the arrangements with a few simple words.

Zhang Hu stepped forward and said, “Sir, you can’t do that. According to the rules, the Weapon Master will take 50%. The rest will be divided by the Weapon Master.”

Su Yang said slowly, “Then just take it that I took out 30% of my pocket and gave it to my brothers to cultivate.”

“I’m giving you cultivation resources, but I don’t want to see trash appear. How can the soldiers of the Martial Suppression Division suppress their martial arts if they don’t have enough strength?”

“Go do it.”

Money was not too important to him at the moment. Having more powerful and obedient subordinates might be the most beneficial for him in the future.

Zhang Hu was touched. After being in the Martial Suppression Division for so long, he finally understood why he wanted to join in the first place.

“Yes!” Zhang Hu knelt down on one knee.

Then, he took out 30 percent of it, 10 percent of it for himself, and the rest of it for his brothers.

Zhang Hu returned to the team and looked at his expectant subordinates. He repeated what Su Yang had just said. Seeing everyone’s joy, Zhang Hu’s eyes gradually sharpened.”Lord Su Yang has nurtured us so much. We can’t let Lord Su Yang down.”

“Let’s go and continue to deal with the cases. I don’t want to keep these backlogged cases at all.”

Zhang Hu’s words broke everyone’s joy. The process of solving the six cases flashed again. To the wealthy businessmen, they only lost a sum of money, but after those poor families were hurt, it would only be even more difficult.

The poor had nowhere to seek justice… Even if they had a little money, they could cause a ruckus and get the government to settle it. Only the cases of the poor would be piled up and ignored.

“Let’s go! Give justice to the people!” A group of eleven people walked out.

There were still nine teams active on Spring Wind Street. They only had one goal, and that was to give justice to the people and make up for their previous inaction.

In just one afternoon, the reputation of the soldiers of the Martial Suppression Division rose greatly. Not only was he in the limelight in Spring Wind Street and praised by the commoners, but the commoners of other streets had even begun to compare him with the soldiers of the Martial Suppression Division in their own street.

However, in comparison, the residents of the other five streets in Pingshan City were a little unhappy.

On the surface, the people did not dare to be too presumptuous. After all, since ancient times, the people had never fought with the officials. However, in private, this was the capital they had to chat about after dinner.

On this day, the soldiers of the Garrison Guard of Spring Wind Street worked harder than ever.

“Brother Hu, I’ve never felt so comfortable as today. The people’s grateful eyes made me feel that it was worth it.”

“That’s right, that’s right. This reminds me of the reason why I joined Martial Suppression Division in the past. Wasn’t it because I couldn’t stand those guys who bullied the weak and wanted to teach them a lesson legally?”

“Yes… Keep it up. This is just the beginning. Don’t be too proud. Look at the remaining three cases. Do you dare to solve them?” Zhang Hu slapped the last three cases in front of everyone to calm them down.

These last three cases all involved other Weapon Masters.

It wasn’t done by the other Weapon Masters, but it was done by someone close to them. In the past, this kind of thing would not be investigated and dealt with.

But now…

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhang Hu continued, “If you have enough strength to deal with the possible consequences, will you deal with them?”

“That’s obvious. I definitely will.”

“So… Our strength is still not enough, so we have to deal with the case in our hands, and then we have to hurry up and cultivate.”

“I’ll ask Lord Su Yang for instructions first.”

…

In the courtyard, Su Yang was waving his sword. After a day, three more wisps of the will of all living beings appeared in his mind.

The courtyard door creaked as Zhang Hu pushed the door open, “Sir, there are a total of 63 cases. 60 have been solved, and there are still three cases that have not been dealt with.”

“Today, I received a total of 3400 taels of silver.”

“Hmm.” Su Yang had already stopped practicing his sword and said, “What’s wrong with the remaining three cases?”

“The remaining three cases involve the Weapon Masters of Bluestone Street and Peach Blossom Street.”

Su Yang nodded.” Yes, I’ll go with you tomorrow. Next, bring some people with me to find the commander.”

“We’re going to capture the commander?” Zhang Hu gasped.”

“What are you thinking about?” Su Yang was speechless. Go and get the cultivation resources.”

Zhang Hu scratched his head awkwardly. It seemed that he had thought wrongly.

Su Yang brought them to the headquarters of the Martial Suppression Division in Pingshan City and saw Zhang Zhiwu.

After seeing Su Yang’s strength, he was shocked. Zhang Zhiwu did not act like a superior in front of Su Yang at all. When Su Yang mentioned that he needed cultivation resources, he agreed without hesitation.

Under normal circumstances, Zhang Zhiwu would be in control of these resources and would give most of them to his subordinates. It wasn’t that he didn’t give it to the other Weapon Masters, but the portion was very small and didn’t follow the rules.

This time, Su Yang spoke. Naturally, he would give her a full month’s share. Even when Su Yang said that he wanted to buy it, he directly agreed. Therefore, Su Yang successfully obtained enough Bone Strengthening Powder for 112 people to cultivate for seven days.

After solving the problem of his subordinates, it was time for him to solve his own problem.

“Commander Zhang, I would like to ask if there is anything in the Martial Suppression Division that can directly improve one’s physique?”

“Absorb it directly? Do you mean that they don’t match the body tempering technique?”

“You’re probably talking about the secret recipe of a special medicinal bath, right?” Zhang Zhiwu thought for a moment and said.”

“That’s right.” Su Yang’s eyes lit up.

“I do have one here, but it’s not very effective. Only martial artists who haven’t entered first grade would use it.”
