Misty Rain of the Old Times

Chapter 240 Who doesn’t have a side job?
Hero Wu, which Hero Wu?
From the sound of it, she and that Wuxin mother-in-law are a model couple. Now she should be called Mrs. Wuxin. She likes to be open-hearted to people and even open other people's hearts.

Chen Xuan's knowledge of the affairs of the martial arts world was really limited. For a moment, he was not sure who the Wu hero that Zuo Kaichou mentioned was, and he had no impression of a person who matched the name. However, if he was asked about a famous scholar, he would know a thing or two.

Looking around, that hero Wu should show up, right?

The same thing happened to those who were still awake around them. What were they looking at? Shouldn't they say something at this time? For example, in the case of that hero Wu, he didn't know how to create a good atmosphere at all.

At this moment, 'Wu Xin Granny's' face was ashen, her charming face filled with pain. She looked at Zuo Kaichou and pleaded tearfully, "I have brought this upon myself. All the evil I have done is my own fault. It has nothing to do with my husband. Can you please let him go? I am willing to cooperate with you and hand over the martial arts I have practiced and the Flame Gold Tiger Skin Armor."

We have seen many people like this. They are cruel and ruthless when committing crimes without considering the consequences. They are not regretting it, but are afraid. Everyone has weaknesses, and these are just crocodile tears.

With a cold, unmoved laugh, Zuo Kaichou glanced around and said, "Do you think that's possible? I don't have the right to let your husband go, and it's useless for you to beg me. You must know that for the things you have done, in my opinion, killing three generations of your clan is a light punishment!"

At this point, he glared at 'Wu Xin Granny' and gritted his teeth, "Actually, I really want to chop you into pieces. How many little kids have you killed? You're not afraid to do that. But as an official appointed by the court, I have to do my best to follow the rules. Otherwise, do you think you would still be alive today? People like you can only go to the vegetable market, be condemned by thousands of people, be covered in filth, and then be stabbed, only then can justice be done to the world!"

"I...", 'Wuxin Po Po' lowered her head, knowing that it was useless to say anything.

At this time, someone was walking towards this side from the direction of Tuoling Town under the cover of night. He was a man in his forties, wearing a blue and white brocade robe with cloud patterns, holding a long sword, with an elegant face and a one-foot long beard.

He came with square steps, and to anyone who saw him, he looked like a positive character, but at this moment his eyes were filled with bitterness.

With his arrival, the people from the Forbidden Martial Arts Department made way for him.

Chen Xuan looked around and found that some sober people were also looking in that direction, but still no one spoke. Then he realized that it was pitch dark and not everyone had the same eyesight as him.

Well, there’s no hope of relying on others to narrate the introduction…

'That must be the so-called hero Wu, his internal energy is long-lasting and strong, I think he has practiced a superior technique. His aura of cultivation has probably begun to impact the Ren and Du meridians, and his acquired stage is also top-notch, no wonder he can make a name for himself as a hero,' Chen Xuan secretly commented on the man while looking at him.

As I said, there are only a handful of people with innate talents in the world of martial arts. The entire world of martial arts is actually a big stage for the acquired stage. If you can learn a superior technique, have one or two powerful martial arts skills, and do a few things that people will talk about, you can make a name for yourself.

Looking at the newcomer, Zuo Kaichou bowed slightly and said, "Master Wu, I have long admired you. I never thought we would meet in this way."

He smiled bitterly and said, "Master Zuo, my family is in trouble. I am sorry to have embarrassed you."

That smile was so bitter, more bitter than crying after eating coptis chinensis. His eyes were sad and he was forcing himself to smile. How could it not be bitter?

As he spoke, he sighed deeply and took the initiative to hand the weapon in his hand to the people from the Forbidden Weapons Department.

Zuo Kaichou nodded secretly. He was quite sensible and avoided taking action. This was good. He waved his hand and ordered: "Hero Wu, I'm sorry."

Then people from the Forbidden Martial Arts Department came forward to confiscate his weapons, pressed his acupoints, fed him medicine, and even bound his hands and feet with tendons. They were very skillful.

Perhaps because of his reputation as a hero, the people from the Forbidden Martial Arts Department did not break his limbs, which was considered very respectful to him.

But in this way, he also became a prisoner, a fish on the chopping board, no longer able to resist.

"Husband, why are you doing this? If you want to leave, they probably won't make it too difficult for you," said the 'heartless mother-in-law' to Wu Daxia with tears in her eyes, smiling with tears in her eyes, and in extreme pain.

Zuo Kaichou sneered inwardly. If Wu Daxia really wanted to leave, they would definitely pursue him impartially. As an official appointed by the imperial court, how could they possibly let Wu Daxia go? Even if he managed to escape by chance with his escaping skills, he would only be listed as a fugitive from the end of the world.

It must be said that Hero Wu has indeed done a lot of things to punish evil and promote good, and people in the martial arts world always give him a thumbs up when they mention him.

But what kind of thing is this? He is responsible for doing good things, and his wife is responsible for doing evil things. It's quite weird.

Being forced to kneel on the ground, Wu Daxia looked at Wu Xin's mother-in-law and smiled gently: "My dear, don't cry. You and I are husband and wife. How could I abandon you? Your husband will always be with you, no matter where you go."

"Husband, I am sorry for you. I have done so many bad things, but you have always indulged me and atone for my sins in your own way. I'm sorry. Don't meet me in the next life. It's not worth it," said Wuxin's mother-in-law choked.

Wu Daxia still smiled and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? We will be together in the next life. Then my lady, please stop doing bad things."

"Well, I'll listen to my husband. We'll be together in the next life, live a peaceful life, and have children for you. Maybe I've done too many evil things and God wants to punish me. I haven't been able to give you a child in this life..."

In fact, in addition to watching the competition between the two innate masters, they also wanted to find a famous hermit doctor to treat infertility. Unfortunately, it was too late.

Having given them enough chances to speak, Zuo Kaichou waved his hand and said, "Take them away." The Forbidden Martial Arts Division was here to arrest people, not to watch a couple express their love to each other and make plans for their next life. Who were they trying to show off their affection to?

Neither of them is a good person. In comparison, Wu Daxia is even more despicable than his wife. He condones his wife's evil deeds and thinks that doing good deeds can reduce his sins? He is the one who deserves to die.

Soon, the people from the Forbidden Martial Arts Department took the couple away swiftly. The process was not very polite. The two kept staring at each other, as if they had a thousand words to say.

Seeing that the people from the Forbidden Martial Arts Department were withdrawing, Chen Xuan felt very upset. Is this the end?
What exactly is the situation with that Wu Daxia? Is there no one who can explain it to me? Eating the melon halfway is just intentional and makes people feel uncomfortable.

But that's normal. The Martial Arts Prohibition Bureau has no obligation to provide scientific knowledge to people. They only care about arresting people, and not everyone in the underworld who is still sober around knows everything.

Then Chen Xuan turned around and saw Zuo Kaichou walking towards him. He looked around and saw that it was indeed him.

I was stunned. Could it be that the image I had created looked like someone else? Was the other person also a target of the Forbidden Weapons Bureau?
Just as he was wondering, Zuo Kaichou came over ten feet away, looked at Chen Xuan and said with a smile: "This little brother is polite."

"I wonder what Lord Zuo can do for you?" Chen Xuan stood up and returned the greeting, thinking that it didn't seem like a bad thing, but as a man of the underworld, he had nothing to do with you people in the imperial court.

Zuo Kaichou waved his hand to signal that there was no need to be so serious, and said in a relaxed tone, "Don't worry, little brother. I have no ill intentions. I have seen you act quite chivalrously before, so I came to ask if you are interested in working for our Forbidden Martial Arts Division."

"Me?" Chen Xuan was really confused and was at a loss for words.

No, why are you recruiting me for no reason? I haven't shown any cultivation level, so I'm not up to par. Moreover, my previous performance showed that I only knew some fists, kicks, and sticks, and I didn't even have any internal strength. Is this enough to meet the recruitment standards of the Forbidden Martial Arts Division?

Soon a light bulb went off in his head. Could it be because of Mayor Zhou?

Is his identity so special? Just because he helped out, Lord Zuo extended an olive branch to him regardless of the recruitment standards. It was a disguised gesture of goodwill. There was nothing wrong in giving him a job that paid the emperor's salary.

"Yes, little brother, are you interested? I haven't asked you yet...?" Zuo Kaichou nodded affirmatively.

Puzzled, Chen Xuan said, "I am Yang Guo. I am grateful for Lord Zuo's kindness. I may disappoint you. My abilities are too low to be competent."

"It doesn't matter. Don't you really want to consider it? You must know that opportunities are rare. You can practice your skills, and you can learn if you don't know them. If you join our Forbidden Martial Arts Division, there will be plenty of opportunities to train you," Zuo Kaichou said with a smile.

To anyone else who only had some basic martial arts skills, his conditions would be quite tempting, but to Chen Xuan, it was a bit ridiculous.

I'm a master of the innate realm, isn't this invitation too cheap? I'd have to consider giving you your position, and besides, can working for the Forbidden Martial Arts Division be as relaxing and comfortable as being at the Gao family?

So he declined politely: "I'm sorry, I don't deserve it."

Zuo Kaichou nodded, not insisting, nor getting annoyed. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Young man, are you interested in becoming a non-staff member of our Forbidden Weapons Division? It's just a figurehead position, with no salary, and we won't assign you anything. It's all up to you. If you're interested, go to a county-level city branch of the Forbidden Weapons Division and get a wanted list. Whether you send someone on the wanted list or provide clues, there will be a certain reward."

"Is this possible?" Chen Xuan was stunned. Isn't this just a temporary worker? There is not even a regular position, but there is no mandatory task. They don't even care who you are.

So who was Zhou Yuan? He just helped out, so why was Zuo Kaichou so concerned?

He smiled and said, "Yes, that's fine. Don't feel any pressure. There are many non-staff members like you in the martial arts world. They usually do their own things, and when they have some free time, they can do some activities. How about it, are you interested?"

To be honest, Chen Xuan was really tempted. Who the hell doesn’t have a side job?

Moreover, this kind of identity is completely free, without any responsibilities or obligations, and it all depends on your mood. It is also convenient. Every time you arrive in a county-level city, you can go to the branch of the Forbidden Martial Arts Bureau to get a wanted list, and you can find out what kind of bad guys are active nearby.

So he hesitated for a moment and said, "If it is really as Master Zuo said, I will boldly agree to it."

"Haha, I'm not lying to you, Yang Guo, right? Take this token. You are now a non-staff member of our Forbidden Martial Arts Division. Later, I will record your name and send it to all the branches. When the time comes, you can enter the Forbidden Martial Arts Division with the token. I will only recognize you by the token, not you."

He tossed a black metal token to Chen Xuan and turned to leave, but before he left, he warned, "Although you're already registered with our Forbidden Martial Arts Division, if you do something evil in the future and end up on a wanted list, we'll still treat you the same!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that she had already gone far away.

Holding the token, Chen Xuan was once again at a loss for words. Was it so careless? He had gotten a semi-staff position without any idea what was going on, and even had the chance to be promoted directly to a full-time position...
