Chapter 35
I’ll Give Everyone Half a Month
After Han Qiu finished her speech, he began to divide the people.
As the Four Directions Inspector, Su Yang was assigned five people.
His position allowed him to manage ten people, but that was just a rule. Everything still depended on the actual situation, and he had to listen to Han Qiu’s arrangements.
Five people were enough. With the invigilator in place, the Patrol Division was on the right track.
The first thing Su Yang did when he officially took office was to let his subordinates inform the commanders of the four towns of Pingshan City, Huangshan City, Linjiang City, and Kaiyang City to come and see him.
It was time for the smog above the four cities to dissipate.
There was a huge difference in the strength of a county city, and the size of each county city was also very different. Among the four cities under Su Yang’s jurisdiction, Pingshan City was the weakest.
The strongest was Kaiyang City. The commander of the Martial Suppression Division was a fourth-grade expert. If he took another step forward, he would be considered an expert in the entire Tianfeng Prefecture. At most, there were about 30,000 people living in Pingshan City, while there were 100,000 people living in Kaiyang City.
Previously, when Su Yang took over the four cities, he saw the smog above the four cities, and there were six quests in his hand. Three were in Kaiyang City, two were in Linjiang City, and one was in Huangshan City.
As for Pingshan City, it had already been taken care of by Su Yang, so there was no mission.
The four letters left the county capital and spread out in all directions. Soon, they reached the hands of the four Martial Suppression Division commanders. After receiving the letter, they did not cause any trouble. They packed up and rushed to the county capital.
Su Yang had just taken office and the Patrol Division had just been established. It was used to control the Martial Suppression Division.
At this time, if they dared to go against the Patrol Division in the open, then their positions would be over.
The commanders of the four cities entered the city one by one and waited in the Patrol Division. After everyone arrived, Su Yang put away his sword and walked out of the courtyard.
In the hall, the four of them chose their seats according to their positions. The commander of Kaiyang City’s Martial Suppression Division sat closest to the main seat, followed by Linjiang City, Huangshan City, and finally Zhang Zhiwu of Pingshan City.
After Su Yang came in, three of them did not get up and did not react, only Zhang Zhiwu stood up to welcome him.
“Greetings, Sir.”
The other three were shocked. Such a young man was the Four Directions Inspector?
“Greetings, Sir.” Even though he was puzzled, this was not the time to think about it.
Su Yang sat down at the main seat without hesitation, his eyes burning. “I’m very happy that everyone has arrived so quickly.”
They had already sat down. Except for Zhang Zhiwu, the other three were carefully sizing up Su Yang. They wanted to know which family’s successor this was.
“To summon you all here…Other than meeting you, I also have some things I want to tell you.”Su Yang paused and continued, “Don’t say that I didn’t give you a chance.”
As soon as Su Yang finished speaking, the scene was extremely quiet. Among the four people, except for Zhang Zhiwu, the other three people’s hearts sank, and they had a bad feelings.
“I’m sure you know better than me what the purpose of the Patrol Division is. I’ll give you two weeks to clear the cases that have accumulated in your area. If you can’t, you can tell me the reason.”
“The Martial Suppression Division is the foundation of Da Xia. It is the only organization that the commoners can rely on. I hope you understand your duty.”
“So… Do you have any questions?”
There was a moment of silence.
“We will remember your words, sir. But if we follow your instructions and handle all the cases, what about the deeply rooted influential families?”
“What about the martial sects and government officials involved?”
Zhang Baishan, the head of Huangshan City, expressed his concerns.
“Those who resist arrest with force should be dealt with immediately, without waiting for permission.”
“If you feel hesitant and reluctant to take action due to concerns of retaliation or if your strength is insufficient… then I will handle it.”
“I am curious to see what kind of influential families, martial sects, and government officials are involved.”
Su Yang was not afraid at all and said word by word. His sword wanted to see how hard the people who bullied the people were.
“Good! With your words, I will definitely respect you.” Zhang Baishan’s eyes lit up.
“What about everyone?” Su Yang’s satisfied gaze softened a little before he looked at the other three.
“I will obey your orders.” No matter what the three of them thought, they all expressed their obedience.
After saying a few simple words to the four of them, he let them leave.
Zhang Zhiwu didn’t leave immediately. After the three of them left, he took the initiative to say, “Sir, I’m afraid this is a little inappropriate.”
“Why?” Su Yang frowned. He also handled it according to the way he thought it was better.
“Sometimes, the quickest way to solve an unjust case is to solve the person who is complaining.” Zhang Zhiwu’s words sent a chill down Su Yang’s spine.
That’s right, solving a person who was crying injustice was faster than solving a case. The case needed to be investigated, and it might involve some families or people that they could not afford to offend. Would the people of the Martial Suppression Division not even participate in some unjust cases?
If a case was not solved quickly, it would either be unsolved or involve a lot of people. It was very troublesome to solve, or even impossible to solve. However, it was too easy to deal with the people who were crying injustice.
With a clear goal, clear information, and clear price, what he needed to do was to silently make the person who cried out for injustice disappear.
“I understand. I’ll get someone to keep an eye on them.” After Su Yang reacted, he was also a little afraid.
“Then, I’ll go back first.” Zhang Zhiwu then stood up and left.
Su Yang was left alone in the living room.
After a while, Su Yang’s five inspectors arrived.
Zhao Jin, Sun Cheng, Zhou Huo, Gu Ting’ an, and Lei Ze. The five of them were all in the fifth grade.
“Zhao Jin, Sun Cheng, you two form a team and keep an eye on Kaiyang City’s Martial Suppression Division.”
“Zhou Huo, Gu Ting’ an, you two form a team and keep an eye on Linjiang City’s Martial Department.”
“Lei Ze, you’ll have to work hard. One person and one team, keep an eye on the Martial Suppression Division of Huangshan City.”
“Just keep an eye on them. Don’t let them do anything. On the surface, you said you wer going to assist.”
“Understood.”
“Go ahead.”
Su Yang did not let them keep an eye on him in the dark. If some things happened, what was the use of not being able to stop them in time to settle the score afterward? With the inspector keeping an eye on them, at least they wouldn’t act too recklessly.
Of course, this was just a precaution.
When Su Yang thought of this, he smiled.
If the world was shrouded in light, then he would enjoy the sunlight. If the world was shrouded in darkness, then he would just shatter the darkness…
Of course, he did not think that he could shatter all the darkness in the world. However… It was always possible to shatter the darkness in front of him and make himself feel more comfortable.
In the courtyard, the crisp sound of Su Yang swinging his sword rang out again.
