Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman

Chapter 453: Give the Order, My Lord! (Happy May Day!)



Red Dragon Realm, Daxia Country, Changle County.

The constable of the county's quick response team, Xiahou Le, led a dozen skilled individuals and over a hundred strong men to surround Su Juxia's residence according to orders from higher-ups.

This year, Xiahou Le had just turned thirty. He grew up listening to tales of Su Juxia as a youth.

If Su Juxia were still alive, he wouldn't have dared to come here to prepare for the confiscation of the property.

But now...

The only expert in the Su Family had committed suicide by swallowing gold, leaving behind only a few people who were of little use.

This vast estate would only benefit other outsiders if they, in kindness, didn't take it.

More importantly, the Su Family had a feud with the current Governor.

Although the Governor didn't say anything on the surface, his lack of objection to the subtle actions taken by his subordinates to solve issues explained a lot.

Those who understood naturally wanted to take the initiative to help the Governor vent his anger!

Behind Constable Xiahou Le and his men, a few experts sent by the county's influential families were watching from the shadows.

If the constable could handle the Su Family, there was no need for them to get their hands dirty.

If anything went wrong, they would ensure that no one from the Su Family survived.

The influential families of Changle County wouldn't allow enemies from decades past to rise and seek revenge.

In fact, after confirming that the Su Juxia, who had instilled fear in them, was truly dead...

These local powerful families and officials began to frantically mobilize personnel to slaughter everything related to Su Juxia.

They wanted to completely erase the shame they had suffered for decades in Changle County.

Constable Xiahou Le heard screams coming from the courtyard.

Then the main gate opened, and a group tried to escape.

Xiahou Le was momentarily taken aback, thinking that the people inside knew they would come to confiscate the property today, so without a word, he drew his knife and started slashing wildly.

In the Red Dragon Realm, the Spiritual Energy was abundant. Even without cultivation methods, everyone's base attributes were quite good.

Ordinary people could be compared to professional athletes on Water Blue Star.

In the blink of an eye, a few people who had just run out of the door were slaughtered, and the rest of the Su Family were immediately frightened and turned to run.

Xiahou Le did not pursue them but chuckled lightly, leading the group to stride inside.

As he officially stepped into the random courtyard, his men also filed in, surrounding the courtyard on all sides. Many people's eyes turned red with greed at the sight of the house in front of them, just waiting to loot and supplement their home expenses.

Daxia had been founded for over two hundred years, and now it was also on a downward trend, with the situation in Changle County equally bad.

Those who came for appearances had not received salaries for several years, barely surviving with the spoils and occasional rewards from following the constable on raids.

Xiahou Le kicked open the offering table at the door, laughed as he looked at the hall that was exposed, and walked in:

"You, the Su Family, have committed crimes!"

"The commanding officer has ordered that the Su Family colluded with bandits, selling illegal salt and iron, and the evidence is conclusive!"

"Everyone is to be detained and await punishment!"

The voice caused a few Su Family members dressed in scholar attire closest to the door to gape, momentarily forgetting even the resurrection of their Old Ancestor, and hurriedly exclaimed:

"Injustice! Our Su Family has always been a virtuous family, how could we do such things!"

"Ha! Whether it's an injustice or not, when you go inside, the commanding officer will investigate thoroughly!"

Constable Xiahou Le sneered inwardly. He didn't know if the Su Family had done these things, but the county's influential families did, so there was plenty of related evidence.

It was guaranteed to become an ironclad case, not only would the Su Family be confiscated and exterminated, but they would also be shamed throughout the township, proving they acted righteously by turning against their kind!

This was a scheme to kill and condemn the heart.

Xiahou Le relished the incredulous and terrified expressions of the Su Family.

This gave him a sense of accomplishment, especially towards those he had to greet with smiles just a year ago.

"What a pity, your old man was quick to see the situation and committed suicide."

"But once the case is settled, even if it's a corpse, it also has to..."

As he walked into the main hall, just as Constable Xiahou Le was about to say more, he suddenly froze.

His pupils contracted violently as he looked, disbelief etched on his face, at Su Juxia sitting in a coffin, chewing on a pig's trotter.

"Su... Grandpa Su, you're not dead?"

Xiahou Le's mind blanked out for a breath or two.

His first thought wasn't resurrection from death.

Instead, he suspected that from the beginning, it was an act, and the old man of the Su Family had never really swallowed gold to commit suicide.

As for the coroner's examination, either the coroner took money, or he was deceived by the other party.

Looking at the legendary hero who had dominated Changle County for decades turning to look his way.

Xiahou Le's knees immediately went weak and limp.

He shrank down, watching Su Juxia, who had gnawing clean the pig's trotter bones, stand up.

He mumbled, suppressing his inner panic, "Grandpa Su, these are all orders from the commanding officer, I... I am just following orders."

"Following orders?"

"Old Man understands!"

Su Ping's avatar nodded, leaving an afterimage as he stood in the main hall.

In the next moment, he appeared in front of Constable Xiahou Le, overlooking him from above.

Xiahou Le felt a slight relief hearing the word "understand."

But then he saw an afterimage of a palm strike coming at his face.

Smack!

Xiahou Le was slapped directly flying, turning into a black shadow as he crashed into the wall, making a dull thud.
