Chapter 142 - Shouldn’t I Use My Old Boss To Set An Example?



Chapter 142 Shouldn’t I Use My Old Boss To Set An Example?

Yao Gu held Chu He’s letter of challenge and frowned slightly.

“Just this letter? Where is he now?”

Just as he finished speaking, another person came to the door.

It was the Su family servant.

The servant knocked on the door and politely said, “May I know if this is the Meng family? I am representing the third young master of the Prime Minister’s estate, Su Wen’s servant. I am here on Master’s orders to see the head of the family.”

Meng Wei stood up, “Speaking!” The servant took out a banknote and said in a deep voice, “When my master heard that Elder Meng had passed away, he was rather sorrowful. Although he died in an open and aboveboard battle, Chu He is still a guard of my family. Master specially tasked me to send a hundred thousand silver taels as compensation.” Only then did everyone realize that Chu He was Su Wen’s guard. Meng Wei said angrily, “Give money? Can my father be revived if you give money? Get lost! Scram!”

The servant was driven out.

At this moment, Yao Gu asked in a deep voice, “Did your father offend Su Wen?”

In his opinion, Meng Zhiping might have offended Su Wen, which led to this result.

Meng Wei shook his head and said, “I don’t know. But this Su Wen has never interacted with my father and I’ve never heard of any conflict between them. How could my father offend him?”

Yao Gu frowned and said, “That’s true. If your father offended Su Wen, he wouldn’t have sent someone to deliver money to you. However, since the Prime Minister’s estate is involved in this matter, we can’t mess around! Didn’t this Chu He give your father a letter of challenge? Then I’ll give him a letter as well! Let’s see how he reacts!”

Yao Gu and Meng Zhiping could be considered life and death brothers. He was the spear instructor in the Capital City Province.

In terms of cultivation, he was even above Meng Zhiping. On the other side, Zhao Jin drove the carriage to a residence.

Ink black doors, ink black walls.

Everything was painted in a black color.

There was no plaque on the front door indicating who was taking up residence here.

Under the gloomy rain, it seemed particularly heavy and brooding.

The two guards at the door stood under the eaves of the corridor, sheltering themselves from the rain.

As the carriage stopped, Zhao Jin hurriedly got off the carriage and raised a large umbrella.

Immediately after, he exerted strength through his feet, kicking up a wave of Qj. The rainwater on the ground was cleared. Only then did he open the car door for Su Wen and smile, “Young Master, be careful.”

Su Wen got out of the car and came to the door. The guard shouted, “Who are you? What are you here for?”

Su Wen smiled. “I am Su Wen. I am here on His Majesty’s orders to report to the Secret Shadow Guards!”

When the two of them heard this, they did not dare to be negligent. One of them told Su Wen to wait for a while before entering to report.

Time slowly passed.

After a long while, that person came out and said, “Head Si wants you to go in!”

Su Wen walked in and Zhao Jin wanted to follow him, but the guard stretched out his hand and stopped him. “The Shadow Guard is sacred territory, no unauthorized people can enter!”

Zhao Jin narrowed his eyes.

The person guarding the door was only at the level of a Star Rank. He could easily crush him to death.

Normally, he would have slapped the person a long time ago.

However, Zhao Jin knew that this department was different from the other official departments that made up the court.

This was also a sign that he knew when to be bossy and when not to move.

He looked at Su Wen instead.

If Su Wen hinted at it, he would know what to do.

Su Wen’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he took the umbrella from Zhao Jin and walked in.

The guard took a few steps forward and led the way. When they entered the door, Su Wen realized that there were many people rushing about.

He was led to a room by a guard. “Head Si is waiting for you inside.” The guard turned around and left.

Su Wen went forward, pushed open the door and walked in.

The room was a little dark, but it was very spacious.

Su Wen walked past a corner and chanced upon a huge heated kang bed.

That’s right, it was the kang bed he had at home, but only much bigger.

Seated on top of the kang bed was a man. In front of him was a small mountain of documents and beside it was a pot of tea. His slightly gray hair, as well as the creases on the corners of his eyes gave him the appearance of an honest to goodness farmer boy.

Su Wen walked in. He did not even raise his head and directly said, “The Secret Shadow Guard is an important place. Your guards are not members of the Secret Shadow Guard, so do not bring them here in the future. You are also not allowed to leak any information about the internal affairs of the Secret Shadow Guard. Otherwise, you will be accused of malfeasance.”

“Si Tu?” Su Wen probed with a smile.

The man raised his head, somewhat displeased. “It’s rude of you to call me by my full name. If you were your father, it would be fine, but you, little kid, don’t seem to understand etiquette.”

Su Wen slapped his forehead. “Oh, right. You are my father’s senior. Uncle Si, what position will I get in the Guards then?” 2402:800:618d:862d:e096:e8ac:3436:ac60

Si Tu helplessly shook his head and said, “You are as slippery as your father, and very quick on the aspect of human relationships. However, I won’t let you lose out by calling me uncle. Since you were arranged by His Majesty, although he didn’t state any positions for you on the paper, he wrote down the tone. You should have been a Primary 5th Rank previously, so if you are to transfer to the Secret Shadow Guard, you would still retain your current official rank. Do you want to be a civilian or a military official?”

Su Wen asked curiously, “What’s the difference between the civil and military positions?”

Si Tu explained, “The civil service is to handle official intelligence and coordinate communication with the other departments. As for the military service, it is to arrest and interrogate.”

“Naturally I’ll choose the military position.” Su Wen smiled. Why did he come here? It was to obtain the authority of arrest and interrogation!

Si Tu was not surprised as well. He looked at Su Wen and said, “You can be considered to have contributed to the reestablishment of the Secret Shadow Guard as well. I shall give you the post of a 5th Rank Official. Your duties will involve the supervision of the city. Logically speaking, this is a 4th Rank position.”

Su Wen smiled. He did not expect Si Tu to be so easy to talk to.

“Uncle Si, thank you so much!”

With benefits, Su Wen became even more glib.

At this moment, a book flew into the air and landed in front of Su Wen. Si Tu said in a deep voice, “This are the restrictions of the Secret Shadow Guards set by His Majesty. Take a look and don’t cross the line!”

Su Wen took the book and flipped through it. He had a rough idea of what was going on. “Uncle Si, I heard you’re a Heaven Rank expert,” he asked curiously. “Can you show me some moves and broaden my horizons? I’ve never seen a Heaven Rank fight before.”

Su Wen saw his chance and took it.

He was really curious.

After all, Si Tu was the first Heaven Rank cultivator he had ever met. Si Tu glanced at him before jokingly chiding him, “Kid, don’t push your luck. Hurry up and get your waist token and change your clothes. If you are willing to help, then do something. Our Secret Shadow Guard has just been established, and this is the time for us to make contributions. All the information we have collected over the past few days is in the intelligence department. You have the authority to check! Go and take a look at it yourself!”

Su Wen did not get angry when Si Tu rejected him. He simply turned around and left.

After exiting the room, Su Wen went to get a set of the navy colored Shadow Guard uniform. There was even a tiger head embroidered on the front of his uniform, lending it a mighty look!

Then, Su Wen picked a group of secret guards before leaving the place!

Zhao Jin was waiting at the entrance. Su Wen boarded the carriage and laughed loudly. “Let’s go! To the Martial Inspectorate!”

Zhao Jin asked curiously, “Young master, why are you going to the Martial Inspectorate? Hasn’t your duties there been relieved?”

“To slaughter!” A smile appeared on Su Wen’s face. “When a new official takes office, shouldn’t he use his old boss to set an example?”
