Chapter 1

Xiliang Empire

Northwest County, Fucheng, Moon Shadow Tower.

In the top floor pavilion, the air was filled with a faint sandalwood fragrance, and the sunlight filtered through the light gauze, casting into the room.

On a delicate and soft peachwood bed, Su Hao lay quietly in the arms of the courtesan Moon Shadow, his eyes closed, enjoying the moment. Moon Shadow's slender, soft hands were gently massaging his forehead.

"Too comfortable, I don't want to wake up from this dream."

Su Hao, with his eyes closed, murmured as if he were in a dream.

"Master Su, if you don't want to wake up, just keep lying there, and I'll continue to massage you!"

Just as Su Hao was mumbling, a soft and pleasant voice echoed in his mind.

"Such a beautiful dream, I don't want to wake up!"

Su Hao said naturally, and his right hand unconsciously reached for the small hand massaging his head. When he touched it, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Because the sensation was too real, and the gentle voice just now, he struggled to open his eyes and saw a delicate and beautiful face, and the surroundings were like an ancient boudoir, making him hesitate.

"Ah!"

Just as he hesitated, a new consciousness suddenly appeared in his mind, causing him to involuntarily cry out, his body trembling as if electrocuted.

Bang!

At that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a man in brocade clothing rushed in. He had thick eyebrows, broad eyes, a tall build, and a purple scar on half of his face, making him look a bit terrifying. He was Su Hao's personal attendant, Su Ping.

As soon as he entered the room, he came directly to Su Hao, who was lying in Moon Shadow's arms, looking at him anxiously.

"Third Young Master, are you alright?"

Su Hao, who had just screamed, now struggled to open his eyes. He already knew why he had a headache and what his current identity was.

He had traveled through time, into the body of another Su Hao with the same name. As for how he traveled, Su Hao had a vague but clear understanding.

Before the穿越, he was about to operate the company's attendance system when his body suddenly trembled and he fainted. In his unconscious state, he felt as if he was in a dream, but it turned out he had traveled through time.

The scream just now was because Su Hao was receiving the memories of this body and couldn't adapt at first, so he let out a cry.

"Su Ping, I'm fine, I just had a nightmare. You can go now!"

Su Hao waved his hand, signaling Su Ping to leave.

Hearing Su Hao's words, Su Ping sighed with relief but did not leave. Instead, he said softly,

"Third Young Master, today is the day we report to the捕院. If we don't leave soon, we might miss the time, and Second Master will likely come looking for you."

"Report to the捕院!"

Upon hearing this, Su Hao immediately sat up straight.

"You didn't remind me, I almost forgot. Let's hurry, if I don't report today, my uncle will probably come for me and drag me there, and I'll be beaten!"

Su Hao quickly stood up and tidied his clothes.

"Miss Moon Shadow, I have some business to attend to, I'll leave now!"

Su Hao greeted Moon Shadow, who was beside him, and then left the Moon Shadow Tower with Su Ping.

Outside the Moon Shadow Tower,

A servant was already waiting with a carriage for Su Hao. Su Hao immediately got into the carriage, while Su Ping sat in front, driving the carriage toward the捕院 in Fucheng.

Inside the carriage,

Su Hao looked out at the street, where carriages and people in ancient costumes were passing by. He confirmed again that he had traveled through time, and he tried to calm himself and quickly organize his current identity.

Su Hao, the youngest son of the head of the Su family in Fucheng, had two older brothers and three older sisters.

The Su family was the first family in Northwest County, or even in the entire Northwest, and had a rich history.

The second master of the Su family, Su Hao's uncle, was the current magistrate of Fucheng. Seeing that Su Hao was idle, he arranged for him to become a deputy leader in the捕院 of Fucheng.

Of course, this position as a deputy leader was just a transition. After some time and gaining some experience, he would join the Northwest Pacification Commission, which was directly under the emperor. Once he joined the Pacification Commission, he would be considered a member of the imperial court.

The third master of the Su family was one of the three deputy commanders of the Northwest Pacification Commission. The idea of Su Hao serving in the捕院 for a while was also his suggestion.

"Why not be a good young master and become a constable instead?"

Su Hao shook his head, not quite understanding, but he knew that if he didn't report to the捕院, he would be in trouble when he returned home.

The carriage moved quickly, and soon they arrived at the捕院 in Fucheng.

Two constables on duty outside the捕院 saw Su Hao's carriage and immediately approached, ready to please him. After all, the constables in Fucheng recognized Su Hao's carriage, and they had already received the notification that Su Hao had become one of the three leaders in the捕院.

"Master Su, are you here to report today?"

One of the constables said, leading Su Hao into the捕院.

Su Hao looked up at the捕院. It was large, with two unknown stone beasts squatting at the entrance. The sign on the gate read "Fucheng捕院."

Led by the constable at the entrance, Su Hao entered the捕院.

The捕院 had three buildings, with the main hall being the tallest, and the other two being slightly shorter.

Fucheng was a large city, and the number of constables was numerous, so the捕院 had three leaders, one main and two deputies. One of the deputy leaders, Wang Tong, had recently met with an accident while on duty and died in the outskirts.

The second master of the Su family immediately arranged for Su Hao to take over Wang Tong's position as deputy leader.

Led by the constable, Su Hao walked toward the main hall of the捕院.

Inside the捕院, some constables were busy. The larger the city, the more cases there were. However, when they saw Su Hao, they all stopped their work and greeted him.

At that moment,

In a large office inside the捕院,

The other two leaders of the Fucheng constables, Lu Hao and Han Lu, were gathered together.

Both were tall, wearing golden-trimmed constable leader uniforms, and had long knives at their waists, giving them a sense of authority. Lu Hao was a bit older and was the main leader of the捕院.

He looked at the brocade clothing and the deputy leader's badge in front of him, his face showing some worry.

"Chief Lu, Deputy Chief Han, Master Su has arrived at the捕院!"

At that moment, a constable pushed the door open and said softly.

"Take Master Su to the main hall!"

Chief Lu Hao stood up, picked up the brocade clothing on the table, and said to Han Lu, "Let's go meet Master Su!"

Han Lu didn't speak, just nodded and followed behind Lu Hao. His eyes were cold, as if Su Hao's arrival had nothing to do with him.

In the main hall,

Su Hao was examining the objects in the hall. Although he had received the consciousness of the previous Su Hao, he was still interested in the ancient furniture and decoration.

Just as he was carefully examining the room, Lu Hao and Han Lu entered the main hall.

"Su Hao, from now on, we will work together and support each other."

Lu Hao greeted Su Hao warmly and handed him the brocade clothing and the deputy leader's badge.

Since Su Hao would be his subordinate, calling him by his name seemed more intimate.

"Chief Lu, you are too kind. I will follow your lead from now on."

Su Hao said politely, knowing who this person was. Lu Hao was the main leader of the捕院, and he would be working under him, so he had to say these formal words.

Looking at the exquisite official clothing, Su Hao was pleased and took the clothing and the deputy leader's badge from Lu Hao.

"I'll change into my official clothing first!"

Su Hao bid farewell to the two and went to the back of the main hall to change into the new official clothing.

Suddenly, an unusual voice appeared in his mind.

" Ding! The host's first job has appeared, activating the sign-in system, binding the sign-in system..."

"10%, 20%, 50%, 100%, sign-in system binding successful."

"Hmm! System!"

Seeing the successfully installed system, Su Hao's face lit up. Could this sign-in system be the golden finger of his time travel?
