My Sword Intent Can Be Infinitely Improved

Chapter 17

Patrol Inspector

“Perhaps.” Su Yang waved his hand indifferently and asked Zhang Hu to suppress him.

“Send someone to find the county magistrate and ask him to send someone to help investigate the Li family’s accounts.”

“Follow the procedure.”

“Understood.”

Pingshan City was only a county according to its level. The county magistrate and other civil officials were responsible for managing household registration, money, and other trivial matters in Pingshan City, while the Martial Suppression Division was a military organization that managed all public security.

The civil officials in this world were not weak scholars. What they cultivated was the power of words, and the manifestation of various word concepts was still very powerful. There were countless kinds of literary power. Sometimes, in special situations, the power of literary power far surpassed the power of martial arts.

Among these powers, martial arts were the easiest to learn, but if one wanted to reach a higher level, one also needed comprehension. The only difference was the difficulty of getting started. Therefore, this world had the most martial artists.

literary power called Confucianism, and most of the Confucian scholars are officials.

…

After a few minutes, Su Yang saw the county magistrate, Liu Youwei, who had rushed over with his men. He was thin and had a refined temperament. The aura of a scholar assaulted his senses. Even though he was walking in a hurry, his posture was still dignified.

“Lord Su, you’ve done something big without saying anything.” Liu Youwei looked calm on the surface, but his heart was already in turmoil.

When Su Yu was in power, he did not do anything and did not have a temper. However, his son, Su Yang… He has the appearance of a hidden dragon.

He had been paying attention to the whole thing from the beginning. Originally, he thought that Su Yang was just a simple hothead In the end, the entire Li family was toppled in less than seven days. To put it frankly… Li Ming’s seventh-day memorial hadn’t even passed yet.

What made him most curious was how Su Yang’s strength came about. Without making a sound, he was already standing at the top of Pingshan City.

“Lord Liu, I still need your help next.” Su Yang smiled faintly.

“Of course.” Liu Youwei said with a smile.

The next step was to seize the entire Li family. All accounts, properties, and valuable things were temporarily sealed. After all the statistics were completed, the first place would be the capital. In the end, the remaining properties of the Li family would be confiscated.

Of course, there had to be a reasonable reason for this kind of extermination, and there would be people from above to verify it.

The Li family’s assets were huge, and it would take one or two days to calculate them. Su Yang also let Zhang Hu keep an eye on it. He didn’t plan to care about it himself. He would just wait for the final result. So he said goodbye and left, ready to go back to sleep.

Su Yang walked back onto the street. Halfway through the journey, a voice suddenly sounded.

“Lord Su is in such a good mood. With such a leisurely posture, you can’t tell that you just went to confiscate and exterminate the Li family.”

At the corner ahead, a figure stood tall.

“Oh? What brings you here?” Su Yang narrowed his eyes, observing the person before him.

This person’s aura was very familiar. A few days ago, when Li Hei came to assassinate him, this person was outside his courtyard. These few days, he would also feel a sense of prying from time to time.

“Allow me to introduce myself. I am Zhang Lang, the inspector of Tianfeng County.” Zhang Lang walked in from afar and said, “My duty is to search for talents who are suitable to become inspectors.”

In Tianfeng Prefecture, Pingshan City was the upper level. It managed 18 county-level cities of various sizes, and Pingshan City was one of them.

“Then may I know why Lord Zhang blocked my way in the middle of the night?” Su Yang was still calm.

“Naturally, I have taken an interest in you, Lord Su.”

Su Yang’s expression was strange, but Zhang Lang didn’t care and continued, “I’ve seen the entire process of Lord Su’s management of the Li family. The Patrol Inspector needs an upright and powerful person like Lord Su to take on the role.”

“This is the recommendation letter from the Patrol Inspector of Tianfeng County. With this letter, you can go to Tianfeng County on the 15th of June to take the Patrol Inspector assessment at the Martial Suppression Division. After passing the test, you can become the Inspector of Tianfeng County.”

Su Yang held the letter in his hand and said, “What power does an inspector have? I’ve never heard of this position before.”

This position sounded impressive, but Su Yang recalled that his predecessor did not have any memories of this at all.

“This position was newly created and hasn’t been perfected yet. Otherwise, the Li family in Pinshan City wouldn’t have happened.”

“Each county will recruit 30 to 50 inspectors. Only those above the fifth rank are eligible. There is a first-grade Chief Inspector, second-grade inspectors for the east, west, south, and north regions, and third-grade inspectors for supervision and management.”

“They are stationed in the county cities, inspecting all directions, receiving reports from the people, and being subject to public scrutiny.”

“From the county city to the town city, they can issue orders for cooperation with the Martial Suppression Division in handling cases.”

Zhang Lang meticulously explained the powers and responsibilities of an inspector.

After Su Yang heard this, he was even tempted. For him, the identity of a Patrol Inspector would be very beneficial to him.

Let’s first talk about the will of all living beings. It seemed that the higher the rank, the larger the area it could cover. He was only an official of Pingshan City, so he could only see the will of the people there. If his authority covered the entire Tianfeng County, then perhaps he could see the will of all living beings in the entire Tianfeng County.

The higher his status, the better he could fulfill his beliefs. The inspector’s identity required him to do the same thing as he did.

If that was the case, how could he refuse?

“Very good. I wonder how I can be the chief inspector?” Su Yang expressed that he was very satisfied with the position.

Zhang Lang was speechless, “Lord Su, you’re so bold.”

“The chief inspector of the prefecture capital must be a third-grade official. Since his status is above the Martial Suppression Division, his martial strength must be high enough.”

Su Yang nodded calmly to show that he understood. Zhang Lang’s eyebrows twitched as he looked at him. For a moment, his emotions were complicated.

“So the Patrol Inspector needs to be in the fourth grade?”

“That’s right. If Lord Su’s strength is sufficient, there’s nothing wrong with it.”

“There are many vacancies in the position of Patrol Inspector. The mission is more important, so I’ll leave first.” Zhang Lang said and left quietly. His figure was strange and he had mastered a good movement technique. He was not in the sword intent domain, so Su Yang could not sense his depth.

“Only a third-grade cultivator can be the Chief Patrol Inspector?”

“The assessment will begin on the 15th of June. It is now the 3rd of June. There are still 12 days left…”

Su Yang put the letter in his arms and set off on his way back again. No matter what, he was definitely going to be the Patrol Inspector.

That night, the Li Mansion was brightly lit. At first, the people living in the surroundings did not understand what was going on. They thought that it was dawn. They grumbled about the audacity of the Li Mansion, creating such a commotion in the middle of the night.

As they gradually understood the situation, their sleepiness receded like a tide.

“The Li Mansion… has been raided!!!”
