Chapter 39
Sin: Lv. 27
In the evening, under the watchful eyes of the commoners, the head of the three great clans obediently stepped into the Martial Suppression Division.
The three of them no longer had that insufferably arrogant aura. Previously, they had come to the Martial Suppression Division with their heads held high. Now, they were shrinking his head and looking sullen.
What happened today was to press the faces of the three great families to the ground and stomp on them. Su Yang had humiliated the three great clans. They really wanted to take revenge and tear him.
However, when they thought about Su Yang’s terrifying strength, they calmed down.
Forget it. It’s not worth it… They wanted to live a few more years.
Their backers had all been whipped by Su Yang. After waking up, the first thing they said was that they would go back and investigate Su Yang’s background. During this period of time, they had to listen to the Martial Suppression Division first.
Even their backers had temporarily admitted defeat, so they all became obedient.
The three of them entered the Martial Suppression Division and waited in the hall.
Not long after, Su Yang arrived at the main seat, and Zhang Baishan followed beside him.
Glancing at the three of them, Su Yang said indifferently, “From now on, the wages that the three of you give to your workers must reach the minimum of ten copper coins per day in Da Xia.”
“Secondly, I don’t know how much you’ve deducted in the past, but I believe it won’t be difficult for you to compensate all the workers with a month’s salary.”
The three family heads immediately felt their hearts ache. Originally, they only gave the workers about five copper coins a day, but now they wanted them to raise it to ten. They were clearly only following the rules, but it seemed like they had doubled the wages.
The second one was even more outrageous. Compensate for a month? When did Da Xia have such a thing?
Even if they were dissatisfied with the merchants, they would usually be fined by the imperial court and handed over to the imperial court. How could they give it to the workers?
Su Yang did not care about their thoughts and continued, “The three of you will be responsible for the cost of treating the injured soldiers of the Martial Suppression Division.”
“Does anyone have any objections?”
The corners of the three clan heads’ mouths twitched. They would pay for the soldiers’ treatment fees. What about the guards of the three families whose arms were broken?
Forget it…Now that the one who lost his arm was a guard, they did not want to experience it yet.
“I have no objections. I will obey your orders.”
“No objections.”
The three clan heads all agreed.
Su Yang knocked on the table, “If you have no objections, then go back. Don’t let me hear or see anything bad again.”
“Tomorrow, solve the problem I mentioned completely. I will wait here for you to solve it before leaving.”
Since it was related to the progress of the mission, Su Yang did not mind waiting another day.
No matter what, after completing this mission, there would be 12 wisps of living beings’ will.
“Yes.” The three of them could not help but tremble as they thought of Su Yang’s terrifying strength during the day.
After the three of them left, Zhang Baishan said respectfully, “Sir, it’s already late. I’ve already sent people to Baixiang Restaurant to prepare a meal. I think it’s already done. Please have a taste of Huangshan City’s delicacies.”
“Then let’s go.”
To be honest, Su Yang was quite interested in food, so he was looking forward to the next meal.
Other than Zhang Baishan and Su Yang, there was also Lei Ze, the magistrate of Huangshan City, the chief clerk, and ten Weapon Masters. There were a total of 15 people, and they had booked the top floor of the Baixiang Restaurant.
There was definitely enough space, and they could even see the night view of Huangshan City. During this period of time, the night market in Huangshan City had just begun, and it was the most lively.
Although the ancients rested early, they would not fall asleep as soon as the sky turned dark. This kind of excitement ended around nine o’clock.
After passing through the streets, Su Yang quickly followed Zhang Baishan to the Baixiang Restaurant.
“Sir, please come in.”
As soon as Su Yang and the others arrived, the waiter came up to them.
As he walked in, he first found the lobby on the first floor. There was a staircase in the middle of the lobby.
Just as he entered, Su Yang saw a special existence.
[Sin: Level 27]
In the corner of the hall, a cultivator in a Taoist robe had a big sin on his head. The words were bright red. According to Su Yang’s speculation, this level was determined by the number of people killed…
How many lives had this person taken?
Evil Cultivator?
So far, only the evil cultivators had been labeled as sinners.
Su Yang had also studied this sin label recently. There were two reasons for this. The first was killing people, and the second was killing ordinary people. For example, Ma Wu, the commander of the Windwolf Army, did not have a sin label on his head. Also, their chief inspector did not look like a good person, and there was no sin on his head.
Of course, these two points were only Su Yang’s speculation.
Su Yang remained calm and went to the top floor with everyone.
“Commander Zhang, I’m afraid we have to eat faster today.”
Zhang Baishan was stunned. What did he mean?
Su Yang continued, “Send someone to keep an eye on the person in the Taoist robe in the lobby. If he leaves, inform me immediately.”
Zhang Baishan was a little confused, but he had to do what his superior ordered him to do and not refute. This was the basic rule of subordinates.
“Understood.”
“Remember not to alert the enemy. Also, serve the dishes quickly, in case he runs away.”
Su Yang bluntly told him that he didn’t like to beat around the bush. He definitely had to keep an eye on this Taoist priest. He hadn’t eaten yet, so he didn’t want to catch him on an empty stomach.
So… The dishes had to be served quickly.
Sin: LV27, this was the highest level he had ever seen.
Although level did not represent strength, being able to kill so many people meant that his strength was definitely not too weak. He had to be careful.
Chasing someone…He wasn’t very good at this either. His movement technique was not good enough.
Su Yang quickly thought of the sword intent and opened the interface to check.
[Tianqin Sword]
[Sword Intent: Lv. 21 (13002/21000)]
[Sword Technique: Starfire (Lv. 21)]
[Will of All Living Beings: 51]
[Range: Pingshan City, Huangshan City, Linjiang City, Kaiyang City]
With 30 wisps of living beings’ will, he could use 21 wisps of living beings’ will to create the sword control technique.
With a thought in Su Yang’s mind, the will of all living beings began to forge sword moves according to his instructions. In an instant, he had obtained his second sword move.
[Sword Control: Lv. 21]
This move was even more powerful than the ordinary sword control technique. After using it, sword intent would envelop the entire body. Stepping on the intent flying sword, one could soar into the sky wantonly and fly on the sword!
This intent flying sword could be big or small. If it was bigger, he could completely lie on it. Of course, the flying speed was still determined by the sword intent and the strength of the sword technique.
However, Su Yang had a vague feeling that the speed of this Lv 21 sword would be very fast.
After the sword move was formed, Su Yang pushed open the door and entered the private room. In the private room, the upper echelons of Huangshan City were already waiting. They greeted Su Yang respectfully.
Soon, the dishes were served according to Su Yang’s instructions. Su Yang didn’t bother being polite with these people either.
When it came to eating, he simply focused on the food itself. He despised all the table manners and drinking culture associated with it.
Moreover, the significance of these customs entirely depended on the will of the most influential person in the room.
If he thought it was important, then it was important. If he felt that it was not important, then it was not important.
Could it be that if Su Yang said he wanted tea instead and asked to remove all those customs, these people would refuse?
Any rules were set by the strong.
