"No matter what, 150,000 taels is not enough to kill such a person. Tell White Lotus Sect that we Shadow Kill Tower will put this task on hold for now. If we still want to kill Su Fei, ask him to give us 400,000 taels of silver. We have already given 150,000 taels of silver, so let him give us another 250,000 taels."
"Okay, let's do it."
When White Lotus Sect leader received the message from Shadow Kill Tower that he wanted to add more money.
He was so angry that he threw the cup on the spot.
"Killing a hundred households of Imperial Guard, from 50,000 taels to 150,000 taels, from 150,000 taels to 400,000 taels, what kind of bullshit killer organization is this Shadow Kill Tower."
"Look at their reasons, they are still Grandmaster Realm guardians. If this Su Fei has a Grandmaster Realm guardian, how about being a Xiaoxiao Imperial Guard in Qingzhou Thousand Households Office."
"What nonsense."
"I cheated you out of 150,000 taels for nothing."
"Pass my order. From now on, any disciples of our religion who are walking outside and see Shadow Kill Tower's killer will be shot to death without mercy."
The closer you get to Great Xuan Imperial City, the more pedestrians on the official road become denser, with an endless stream of merchants, pedestrians and scholars coming and going.
The inns and towns along the roadside are gradually becoming more prosperous.
In the afternoon of this day, a majestic outline finally appeared on the horizon. It was the city wall of Great Xuan Imperial City, with blue-gray bricks and stones stretching for dozens of miles.
The dragon flag fluttering on the city tower rustled in the wind, creating a magnificent scene.
"Great Xuan Imperial City has finally arrived."
Su Fei rein in the horse.
After showing the identity tokens Imperial Decree and Imperial Guard at the city gate, the defenders saw that Su Fei was Imperial Guard.
Don't dare to be negligent and let him go quickly.
Imperial Guard is a member of the emperor's personal army, and his status is not comparable to that of soldiers guarding the city like them.
The moment he stepped into the imperial city, Su Fei felt like he had entered a new world. This place was much more prosperous than Qingzhou Prefecture City.
The wide Vermilion Bird Avenue is paved with bluestone slabs and is wide enough to accommodate eight horses.
There are many shops on both sides, and the atmosphere is impressive.
Pedestrians in various costumes on the street include scholars with jade belts hanging from their waists and vendors carrying burdens, creating a bustling scene.
There are also many warriors carrying swords.
True Qi Realm Wu can be seen everywhere, even Xiantian Realm martial artist and Su Fei were seen on the streets.
This is unimaginable in Qingzhou.
It can be seen that the martial arts culture in the imperial city is flourishing.
Su Fei asked passers-by, and following their directions, Su Fei walked north along the street. After passing through three streets and alleys, a majestic office appeared in front of him.
There is a plaque with gold letters on a black background hanging above the gate of the mansion, with the seven characters "Imperial Guard Southern Commandery Investigation Department" written on it. Four stone lions stand at the door.
Eight Imperial Guards wearing Flying Fish Robe and Spring Embroidered Saber on their waists stood on both sides, their eyes as sharp as eagles, showing a coercion of keeping strangers away.
This is where Su Fei will work in the future.
It looks quite impressive, not bad.
Su Fei turned over and dismounted, looking calm.
"Excuse me, Qingzhou Thousand Households Office, Su Fei from hundreds of households, are here to take up their posts."
Imperial Guard took the identity token from Su Fei, and one of them quickly stepped inside to report.
After a while, a clerk hurried over.
"Thousand Households Commander Su is here, please come in quickly. Commander Lei I didn't expect you to come so fast. Come with me."
The moment Su Fei steps into the Southern Commandery Investigation Department.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission and arriving at the Southern Commandery Investigation Department, and received the reward: Iron Cloth Shirt, one hundred and twenty years of skill, would you like to withdraw it now!]
You've got the reward, don't rush to withdraw it.
Su Fei followed the clerk to the office of the governor.
Su Fei straightened his clothes and walked in.
Passing through the front yard, we came to a spacious courtyard. There was a middle-aged man standing at the door of the main hall.
He is tall and tall, has a resolute face, and has a short beard under his chin. He is wearing a Principal Fourth Rank Flying Bear Official Robe. He has a majesty that is calm and majestic. He is Southern Commandery Investigation Department the governor of Lei Chongxiao.
He is actually sixty-three years old this year, but because he has Grandmaster Martial cultivation, his face looks younger, like a middle-aged man in his forties.
Lei Chongxiao looked at Su Fei up and down, his eyes were like lightning, as if he wanted to see him from the inside out.
It took him a long while before he spoke, his voice carrying the same hardness as in the rumors.
"Are you Su Fei?"
Su Fei bowed his hands.
"Subordinate Su Fei, please refer to your Majesty the Governor."
"No need to be polite."
Lei Chongxiao waved his hand, with a hint of scrutiny in his tone.
"You did a good job handling the Qingzhou case. You were able to solve several cases in a row, capture and kill the White Lotus Sect messenger and true disciples, and uncover a group of insiders. This courage and method are indeed worthy of the word 'Tianjiao'."
He paused and changed the subject.
"But, the Imperial City is no better than Qingzhou. The water here is very deep. Let alone you Vice Thousand Households Commander, even I have to think twice before I act. You are too strong-tempered and too murderous. In this Imperial City, you have to be careful."
Facing Shangguan's suggestion, Su Fei calmly replied.
"My subordinate understands, but Imperial Guard's duty is to detect traitors and solve major cases. If you are afraid of wolves in front of you and tigers in back, and you are afraid of powerful people, how can you stand?"
Lei Chongxiao's eyes flashed with approval.
"It's interesting. No wonder Feng Changqing recommends you so highly."
"Come in, your official uniform and waist badge are ready. The clerk will familiarize you with the Southern Commandery Investigation Department and take you to Thousand Households Office. From today on, you are Vice Thousand Households Commander here."
Su Fei said goodbye and went out.
The clerk led Su Fei through the corridor of the Southern Commandery Investigation Department, explaining as he walked.
"Thousand Households Commander Su, our Southern Commandery Investigation Department specializes in major cases and security patrols in the imperial city. In addition to Mr. Commander Lei, there are eight thousand households and three Vice Thousand Households Commander. After you come, there will be the fourth Vice Thousand Households Commander."
The clerk sighed as he walked.
"But you are the youngest of our Pacification Office Imperial Guard Vice Thousand Households Commander. There are several other Vice Thousand Households Commanders, the youngest of whom is already forty-five years old."
"Thousand Households Commander Su You are only eighteen years old, but you are already a strong Grandmaster Realm Vice Thousand Households Commander. Your achievements put the rest of us to shame."
Su Fei looked calm.
"I just have better luck and practice harder. These are nothing."
The clerk gave a thumbs up as he walked.
"Vice Thousand Households Commander Su, it is really rare for a genius like you to be as kind as you. Among the geniuses in this imperial city, none of them have their eyes above their heads."
"Southern Commandery Investigation Department built a total of fifteen Thousand Households Office. We can't make up fifteen thousand households, so even Vice Thousand Households Commander has its own independent Thousand Households Office."
Su Fei felt a little emotional, this Southern Commandery Investigation Department is indeed the headquarters of Imperial Guard, Thousand Households Office alone has built fifteen.
And I am just Vice Thousand Households Commander from one of them.
You must know that Qingzhou is only one Thousand Households Office.
I don't know the scale of the Imperial Guard Northern Commandery Investigation Department, is it similar to here?
"Look, those places with Qianhufu plaques are the offices of several other Qianhus. If Vice Thousand Households Commander wants to be promoted to Imperial Guard Thousand Households Officer, he must make enough solid contributions, either by solving a major case or by capturing important thieves."
