Mission: Don't Deduct My Wages Again

In Huangshan City, The Zhang, Niu, and Lu families gathered together.

"Everyone, I heard that the imperial court has recently established an inspection department. The people who enter it are not simple." The head of the Zhang family spoke slowly.

"Not simple?" The head of the Niu family snorted coldly. "So what if they're not ordinary? Our three families haven't done anything that warrants scrutiny."

"It's just some trivial matters, yet this Commander Zhang is blowing it out of proportion, arresting our people and seizing our properties. They really think we're easy to bully." the head of the Lu family added.

"Yes, but to be safe, we should invite someone back."

"That makes sense."

...

In Snake Gate, Chu Sen reported what had happened in the hall.

"Patrol Department? I've already reached third grade. In the entire Tianfeng Prefecture, as long as I don't rebel or massacre the city, the other party won't pursue any small matters."

"However, we can't be too disrespectful to the Imperial Court. Control the death rate for the time being and don't let too many people die."

"Understood."

The leader of the Snake Gate did not take this matter to heart.

...

In Patrol Department, Su Yang waved his sword in the courtyard as usual. After half a day, Lei Ze came to find him.

"What's the situation?" Su Yang put away his sword and asked.

Lei Ze explained everything that happened in Huangshan City in detail.

Zhang Clan, Niu Clan, and Lu Clan controlled the entire Huangshan City and manipulated the wages.

A normal commoner's daily wage for physical labor was ten copper coins. This price was the lowest set by the imperial court and was jointly monitored by the local magistrate and the Martial Suppression Division.

However, after the Zhang, Niu, and Lu families joined forces to control the entire business of Huangshan City, they began to control the wages. On the contract, it was written that they had to compensate for their mistakes.

It was understandable, but the three families took advantage of this and began to deduct the workers' wages. Neither the Martial Suppression Division nor the magistrate could say anything, so people could only allow them to be exploited.

As for resistance…Without strength, how could he resist? This wasn't something that could be resisted with numbers.

Any eighth-grade martial artist could suppress dozens of people. Moreover, the three families all had martial artists in the fifth grade. It was only a matter of time before a fifth-grade martial artist massacred a city's people.

The three families were also very smart. They would not bully martial artists. Their target was only the common people, just ordinary people.

...

"Prepare the horse for me." Su Yang did not say much. Since some people always seemed to need a wake-up call, he would pay them a visit.

"Yes, sir!" Lei Ze was excited. If it wasn't for the fact that he wasn't strong enough, he would have trampled all three of them.

Not long after, the two of them left the county city on their horses. After a while, Su Yang had already appeared in Huangshan City.

As soon as he arrived at Huangshan City, Su Yang felt the lethargy that only disaster victims had. It was as if they had no hope in life and were living numbly.

The situation here was much more serious than before. Even though the citizens of Pingshan City were resentful, at least they dared to speak out and be angry. However, here, Su Yang could not hear the dissatisfaction of the people at all, let alone resist.

He opened the mission panel. The most difficult mission that Huangshan City had yet to solve was this.

[Mission: Don't deduct my wage anymore]

[Level: Lv 12]

[Requirements: Make Huangshan City's Zhang Clan, Niu Clan, and Lu Clan promise not to deduct wages.]

[Reward: 12 wisps of living beings' will]

When he saw the name of the mission, Su Yang decided that this mission had to be completed and he had to help!

After entering the city, Su Yang quickly arrived at Martial Suppression Division. Upon entering, Su Yang immediately saw some wounded individuals still wrapped in white cloth.

Seeing this, Su Yang was a little angry.

After Zhang Baishan came out to greet him, Su Yang spoke directly, "Zhang Baishan, gather your men. Those who are not too seriously injured, follow me."

"Sir…Why don't we talk about it first?" Zhang Baishan was a little hesitant. If he attacked right away, it would probably be difficult to deal with the rest.

"Let's capture all the people who injured us first." Su Yang said calmly.

Soon, Zhang Baishan gathered all the troops, and the slightly injured soldiers also arrived.

These soldiers were still rather confused about this. They were all injured, yet they still wanted to attack? However, Su Yang's following speech made them understand what was going on.

On the training field, Zhang Baishan and Lei Ze stood on both sides of Su Yang. The distinction between primary and secondary is obvious.

The hundreds of soldiers present were curious. Did someone come from above?

"Let me introduce myself first."

"I am an Inspector, holding the rank of Four Directions Enforcer. In terms of cultivation, I am at the fourth-grade level, which makes me your superior."

"I came here today for two things. First, I want to help you get justice! Secondly, he had to solve the trouble caused by the three families." Su Yang glanced around calmly.

The soldiers were stunned.

"Take your weapons and follow me. Find the people who beat you up and beat them back one by one." Su Yang's words echoed in the minds of every soldier.

Fight back!

In the past, when the upper echelons were bribed, no one cared about the lower echelons.

If you got beaten up, it was your own fault. Who told you to provoke them?

When the grievances of the common people were heard, the upper class would only question how they handled things and why they didn't do a better job.

They deserved to offend someone they couldn't afford to offend. They even had to be punished. Why did they cause trouble?

If they didn't do anything, the higher-ups would be unhappy and they would be scolded.

After enduring all the grievances, they might as well lie down and do nothing. Let those who want to do the work do it!

When something happened, the higher-ups did not support them but came to deal with them instead. This had long made them disheartened.

This time, Zhang Baishan suddenly did this, so they had no choice but to listen to his orders. After being beaten, they swallowed their broken teeth. They were already prepared to be beaten up for nothing.

But now…Things seemed to have changed. Did this lord just say that he wanted to support them? Did the appearance of the Patrol Department mean that they finally had a powerful backer?

The soldiers trembled slightly. The scene of them being beaten back like stray dogs was still vivid in their minds.

In the past, the grievances were like a broken dam, and the water could no longer be suppressed.

Someone shouted: "If there is a lord, I will be there. Why wouldn't I dare?"

As the first person spoke, the commotion behind him was like a rolling wave.

In the Martial Suppression Division, the miserable and helpless atmosphere was swept away. Everyone's momentum was like a rainbow. They were a group of wolves who wanted revenge!

"Good!" Su Yang turned around and said coldly, "Let's go!"

Around the Martial Suppression Division, the commoners looked over curiously.

Just now, they seemed to have heard a huge commotion. What were they preparing to do?

The commoners knew about the incident yesterday where the soldiers of the Martial Suppression Bureau were beaten up. They could not blame the soldiers of Huangshan City's Martial Suppression Division for their miserable lives, because they knew that these soldiers had done their best.

They were blaming the Imperial Court for not being able to see their situation as if they were blind. Why didn't they send someone stronger to solve the problem?

Just as the commoners were curious, Hundreds of soldiers from the Martial Suppression Division walked out in an orderly manner.

Their steps were in unison, and their auras gathered together. They transformed into the momentum of a long spear and pressed forward.

The pace is the same, the weapons and armor are the same, and only tigers and wolves can compare!
