At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

"What a windfall!"

In the courtyard, Mu Yang thoroughly examined the corpses of Bao Ping, Su Hai, and others.

There are at least five sleeve pockets alone.

They are Bao Ping, Su Hai, Ke You, Su Chuan, and the nameless deputy head of the manor.

Among them, Bao Ping, Su Hai, and Ke You had extremely large sleeve pockets.

Mu Yang glanced at them and saw that the quality of the three sleeve pouches was all high, at the blue level.

......

[Equipable Item: Small Sleeve Pouch]

[Rank: Fourth Rank]

【Equipment Effect: ①Storage (Blue): Can hold non-living objects, with a space size of 15 feet square (approximately 125 cubic meters)】

[Permanent fixation conditions: Equip this item for eight days, or slay any fourth-tier or higher-grade monster while equipping this item.]

......

This is the largest of them, which Mu Yang found on Bao Ping.

Su Hai and Ke You's sleeve pockets were relatively smaller, but they were still twelve feet square, about 64 cubic meters.

The five sleeve pockets together have more than 200 cubic meters of space.

It's almost the size of a small warehouse.

"Speaking of which, the volume of the sleeve pockets varies. How would their size change if they were reinforced?"

Mu Yang weighed the five sleeve pouches in his hand, somewhat curious.

These small pouches are all Tier 4 items. Previously, Mu Yang didn't have many Tier 4 materials, so he couldn't enhance them.

But now...

Mu Yang glanced at the contents of each sleeve pocket.

He casually took out three items that were ranked fourth.

One is half a fourth-tier precious medicine that I got from Wu Yang before, and the other is an iron whip with a white quality attribute.

It's the same one Su Hai used to whip the donkey demon.

While cleaning up the spoils, Mu Yang casually stuffed them into his sleeve pocket.

The other was a fourth-order poison pill found on Ke You.

......

[Ding! Detected that the host has selected (300-year-old ginseng), (thorny iron whip), and (smiling three-step pill) as enhancement materials. Would you like to use them to enhance the main item—small sleeve pouch [three feet square]?]

......

The item that Mu Yang chose as the main body for reinforcement was the sleeve pouch he had previously scavenged from Wu Yang.

It was also the smallest pocket in his hand.

Experiments should naturally be conducted using the smallest possible scale.

......

[Ding! Detected that the main body's tier is 4 and the lowest affix quality is white; the material's tier is 4 and the lowest affix quality is white. The enhancement conditions are met. The quality of any affix on the main body will be upgraded!]

......

[Ding! The main item - Small Sleeve Pouch - has been upgraded, and its attribute quality has been improved!]

[Storage (White) → Storage (Blue)]

......

[Item: Small Sleeve Pouch +1]

[Rank: Fourth Rank]

【Equipment Effect: ①Storage (Blue): Can hold non-living objects, with a space size of nine feet square (approximately 27 cubic meters)】

[Conditions for permanent curing: ......]

......

"Only 27 cubic meters, the side length is roughly three times larger..."

Mu Yang understood immediately.

It seems that the sleeve pocket is limited by its original size, and even after enhancement, it is only a multiple expansion of the original space.

Instead of directly reaching the level of the sleeve pocket on Bao Ping's body, reaching a size of 125 cubic meters.

"Therefore, when reinforcing small sleeve pockets, we must prioritize those with a large capacity."

Thinking it over, Mu Yang put the five largest pockets out of the six sleeve pockets into his equipment slot.

Including the sleeve pockets that had been solidified long ago, Mu Yang had nearly 300 cubic meters of space on his body.

Unfortunately, I have too many things in my sleeve pocket now, and one sleeve pocket can't hold them all.

We need to wait for him to go back and take out all the items before we can continue the enhancement.

Mu Yang glanced at the courtyard.

Aside from the donkey demon's corpse, the only valuable items were a few high-grade weapons.

He stepped forward one by one, taking the donkey demon's corpse and weapons into his pocket.

Then, Mu Yang strode into the study of the Su family mansion and stuffed all the books on the bookshelf, the writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstones on the desk, as well as some other things that looked valuable, into his sleeve pocket.

Anyway, there's enough space in the sleeve pocket, so Mu Yang doesn't mind putting in more.

If you don't need it, you can just throw it away.

After glancing around to make sure nothing was missed, Mu Yang turned and left.

..................

Outside Sujiazhuang, in a shady spot.

Little Black was looking down, munching on the grass on the ground, its tail swishing leisurely back and forth.

Hearing footsteps, it raised its head and saw that the person was Mu Yang. It immediately went forward and, not caring about the strong smell of blood on Mu Yang, rubbed against him affectionately.

"Let's go."

Mu Yang mounted his horse and squeezed its belly with his legs.

Little Black took off galloping along the official road, kicking up a trail of dust.

..................

In the backyard of the constables' quarters in the county town.

Dai Wang was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, reading books and sipping tea.

Because Mu Yang had summoned him to the police station early in the morning, he didn't rush back and just sunbathed in the backyard of the police station.

"Brother Dai?"

Mu Yang walked into the courtyard and saw Dai Wang.

He had planned to come back first to change his clothes and wash away the bloodstains before going to find Dai Wang, but unexpectedly, Dai Wang was already in the courtyard.

"Brother Mu?"

Dai Wang looked up and saw that he was covered in blood. She asked with concern, "How did you get like this? Are you hurt?"

"It's alright, it's all someone else's blood."

Mu Yang walked to the well, drew a bucket of water, washed his hands and face, and briefly recounted the events of Sujiazhuang.

From Su Hai and Bao Ping setting up a trap, to the Su Family Village guards being ambushed and wiped out by him, and finally Lei Jiaojiao stepping forward to support him.

Not a single word was missing.

After listening, Dai Wang put down the book in his hand.

"How could a simple task turn out like this?" Dai Wang looked like he had seen a ghost.

When he heard that Mu Yang had killed Su Hai and Bao Ping, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

Su Hai is alright; after all, he's just a businessman.

But Bao Ping is different. He is a famous genius in Qinghe County, and his father is a fifth-level martial artist. In the entire police station, only the chief constable has that kind of strength.

Fortunately, Lei Jiaojiao was willing to step in as guarantor.

In this way, neither the Eight Directions Chamber of Commerce, the Su Family Manor, nor the Pingwei Escort Agency will face any major trouble on the surface.

After thinking for a moment, Dai Wang said, "Although there's nothing wrong with it, just in case, I'd like to say a few more words to you."

"Standing behind the Eight Directions Chamber of Commerce is Jiang Zhao, the second squad leader of our police station, a veteran fourth-level martial artist, and the squad leader most likely to break through to the Meridian Opening Realm."

"However, you don't need to worry too much about him. Jiang Zhao is not just Su Hai's backer, but the backer of the entire Bafang Chamber of Commerce."

Is Su Hai not the only one with powerful backing?

Mu Yang seemed to be deep in thought.

Dai Wang continued, "The so-called Eight Directions Chamber of Commerce was originally an organization jointly established by eight small chambers of commerce in our Qinghe County."

"Originally, it was a group to help each other, but after more than ten years of development, only the president and two vice presidents have real power now. The rest have long been sidelined and lost their autonomy."

"What Jiang Zhao wants is the tribute from the Eight Directions Chamber of Commerce. He doesn't care who is in charge, as long as the due tributes are paid. He won't care."

Dai Wang picked up his teacup and took a sip: "As for the Su family manor, there's nothing to worry about."

"Intending to murder a captain of the Demon Slayer Division is a capital offense."

"The entire village will be jointly investigated by the Demon Slayer Bureau and the Constables. Those who should be killed will be killed, and those who should be enslaved will be enslaved. As for those who are not involved, they will be sent to nearby villages for resettlement."

"In short, from a moral and legal standpoint, you have no problem. The only thing to worry about is that Bao Tian might resort to underhanded tactics."

"However, as long as you don't leave the county town, he wouldn't dare to force his way into this police station, no matter how bold he is."

"You can rest assured about that!"

No matter how strong Bao Tian was, he was just a bodyguard without any official position.

Even if the Great Jing Dynasty is at its worst, it shouldn't be so weak that it can't even control a mere fifth-level martial artist.
