Chapter 93 Night Without
Nancheng District.
A spacious, elegant and secluded courtyard somewhere.
This is He Mingxuan’s mansion in Nancheng District. It is a duplex nested in four courtyards and even has an independent back garden.
In one of the rooms.
Several bright lights illuminated the entire room as bright as day. In the center of the room was a round table filled with various dishes. There were two figures sitting at the round table, one of whom was the deputy chief mission officer He Mingxuan.
The other man was a middle-aged man with a tall and muscular body and big ears. He looked like an official, but in fact his name made many people afraid of him – Zhuang Ge.
The second master of the Black Cloud Pirates!
Black cloud bandits are rampant outside the city, and countless merchants are frightened when they hear about it. The main reason is that although this group of bandits is small in number, only about a hundred people, the three leaders among them are notorious, and each of them has entered the Yi era. A character in the Jin realm.
Among them, Zhuang Ge, the second leader, had a reward of three thousand taels of silver on the city guard’s wanted order, which was far beyond what those petty bandits who had a reward of several hundred taels could compare with.
“Brother Zhuang did a great job this time, I give you a toast to Brother Zhuang.”
He Mingxuan smiled lightly and raised the wine cup in his hand.
Zhuang Ge grinned, picked up the wine glass and said, “It’s just business for my family. I killed some people and grabbed some goods. I don’t deserve such praise from Mr. Xuan.”
The Black Cloud Bandits were not actually a force cultivated by the He family. They were actually established by Zhuang Ge in the first place because he had committed a crime in Yucheng and was wanted. He had no choice but to leave the city and become a bandit.
Later, by chance, he obtained a Yijin Pill and successfully entered the realm of Yijin. As a result, the Black Cloud Pirates became bigger and bigger, and then they were noticed by the He family, but the He family did not send anyone to exterminate the Black Clouds. Instead, he sent people to collect the Black Cloud Bandits. The current leader is a figure trained by the He family.
Zhuang Ge knew very well that his power as a black cloud bandit was nothing in front of the He family. Although he was taken under the control of the He family and his power was taken away, he originally had no great power in controlling a hundred bandits.
On the contrary, with the intervention of the He family, he, Zhuang Ge, could even return to Yucheng, occasionally go shopping in the flower street, and grab a few women for fun, which was much better than squatting in the mountains all day long.
Therefore, it is natural to obey all the orders of the He family.
“It is an achievement to make the Yu family suffer. Not to mention that you did well because you chose the opportunity and position well this time. The Yu family knows that it was you who did it, but they have no choice but to suffer a loss. “
He Mingxuan smiled lightly and said: “Don’t be polite to me. It’s rare for you to go to the city, so I’ll have a lot of fun these days. I have a lot of concubines in my backyard. I’ll call a few of them later. You can take your pick as you like. yes.”
Zhuang Ge drank the wine in one gulp: “Okay, okay.”
When He Mingxuan saw this, he called out and said in a casual tone: “Come here, bring some girls over to drink with Brother Zhuang.”
“yes.”
Someone answered immediately outside the door.
He Mingxuan leisurely picked up the wine cup and had another drink with Zhuang Ge.
Although a person like Zhuang Ge is invisible, his strength is there and it is very convenient to use. Moreover, he is not greedy for money, only a little lustful. This is actually a good thing in He Mingxuan’s view. She is just a woman. She can make Zhuang Ge a The characters of Yi Jin Dacheng are willing to do things for the He family, even if a few of them die each time, it is not a big deal.
After a while.
There was a knock on the door.
He Mingxuan called out “come in”, but what came in was not the expected concubine, but a servant in black, who hurried to He Mingxuan’s side and whispered a few words in his ear.
After hearing this, He Mingxuan’s face immediately darkened.
“Okay, very good…”
There was anger in his eyes.
The Yu family suffered a loss, and revenge came immediately. A batch of the He family’s goods was directly robbed by the City Guards, but what really made him angry was not this, because the value of the goods was compared to the Yu family’s losses this time. , and cannot be compared.
The key issue is that what happened this time not only happened in Nancheng District, but also in Huigouli, and the police officer in Huigouli was a member of his He family. It can be said that the entire Huigouli area was under the control of his He family. of.
But that’s it.
The goods were literally stolen from right under my nose!
In fact, he, the deputy chief of police, didn’t even know the slightest information beforehand! “What happened to make Mr. Xuan like this?”
Zhuang Ge turned to look at He Mingxuan.
He Mingxuan waved his hand and signaled the attendant to step back, and then said in a cold tone: “The Wutongli City Guards handled the case across the border and robbed a batch of goods arranged by me.”
Zhuang Ge raised his eyebrows and said, “I don’t know much about things in the city, but isn’t Mr. Xuan the deputy chief police officer of Nancheng District? How could he be put in trouble by the branch below?”
“Oh.”
He Mingxuan sneered.
There is no need to think about it. The news must have been leaked. Xiaohe knew about it, and then asked Chen Mu to intercept the goods in the middle of the night. It is estimated that only Chen Mu was informed of the whole process. There was no movement at all from the headquarters, even in Wutong. Over there, no news came from the manpower and eyeliners he had deployed.
He could almost imagine that even if he went to the City Security Department tomorrow to question Xiao He or Chen Mu, he would be told back by the other party saying, “Cross-border handling of cases was approved in advance by the General Directorate.”
He, the deputy chief mission officer, was in the middle, almost floating in the air the whole time.
certainly.
The key to this matter is that Chen Mu is really capable of dealing with a team of elite swordsmen from the He family! From this point of view, the last time Chen Mu killed Sha Xiangtian of the Quicksand Gang with a single blow was not a conspiracy. It was indeed, as the intelligence said, a man of extraordinary talent who had developed an iron body in just over two years.
“No wonder Xu Hongyu values it so much. If this person really gets involved in Yi Jin, it will indeed be quite difficult.”
After He Mingxuan thought for a moment, murderous intent finally appeared in his eyes.
Regardless of whether Chen Mu can pass the level of Yijin, he should deal with it early. Otherwise, if he really goes through it, it will be more difficult to deal with than ordinary Yijin characters.
He had been worried before and didn’t want to completely break up with Xu Hongyu, but this time the He family and the Yu family came and went, sooner or later there would be real fire, Chen Mu should be the first victim!
Think of this.
He Mingxuan turned to look at Zhuang Ge and said, “Brother Zhuang, I need to entrust you with something.”
Zhuang Ge said: “It’s just what Mr. Xuan ordered.”
He Mingxuan said slowly: “I need you to kill someone, Chen Mu, the city guard chief in Wutongli. It is said that this person has two levels of sword skills and a bronze and steel body that has been trained to the extreme.”
Zhuang Ge muttered: “Double sword power, horizontal training body… If it is an assassination, I can kill him with one shot. If it is a head-on confrontation, as long as no one interferes, I should be able to finish it within twenty moves.”
“That’ll do.”
He Mingxuan said calmly: “This person has no background power and no followers around him. As long as you don’t take action in the City Guards Department, no one will be able to help.”
Zhuang Ge said in a deep voice: “That’s no problem. Mr. Xuan will take action whenever he needs to.”
He Mingxuan looked out the window with cold eyes: “Tonight!”
“They just took away the goods I arranged. They must be still too proud to be on guard. Tonight is the most suitable time. As long as he is not in the City Guards Department, you can take action. Since you dare to take action on the He family’s goods, Then more people will die tonight.”
……
Wutongli City Guards Department.
The guard guarding the night patrol at the main entrance was leaning against the wall and yawning.
Suddenly he heard movement in the distance. He immediately woke up and quickly looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a vehicle slowly approaching the City Guards Department in the dark, accompanied by the smell of blood.
The officer’s face suddenly changed, and when he was about to call for other help, he saw that the carriage had arrived outside the door. The person walking in the front was covered in blood and looked very scary. When he looked carefully, he saw that it was the officer Chen Mu! “Lord Chaiji?!”
The gatekeeper was shocked and finally reacted.
“Open the door.”
Chen Mu waved his hand to signal the gatekeeper to open the door, and then instructed Shang Qinglai and others to escort the carriage into the City Guards Department.
“There is no need to patrol tonight. We have called back all the night patrol personnel and guard them at the City Guard Department.”
Chen Mu gave an order.
It’s basically enough to escort the frame back to the City Guard. Even the He family can no longer lead their troops into the City Guard to intercept the goods. Although the security in Yucheng is chaotic, it has not reached the point where the City Guard is in name only.
After all, the City Guards itself belongs to a group of people under the rule of the city lord, and the Dusi in the outer city is from the Xue family, not the He family. If something goes too far and the Dusi is angry, the He family will also have to pay the price. .
After everything is settled properly.
Chen Mu then returned home. He wanted to go back and change his clothes first.
Because the place where I lived was only one street away from the City Guards Department, I basically walked out of the back door of the City Guards Department and walked across a street to the door of my house. I didn’t even bother to knock on the door, so I just jumped into the courtyard and walked all the way. backyard.
backyard.
In the main room, the stove was still lit. Three little girls, Wang Ni and Ku’er Le’er, were leaning against the small table next to the stove. They all had their heads down. They looked like they had waited until late at night and fell asleep when they couldn’t stand it any longer. .
Chen Mu shook his head slightly and stopped waking up the three little girls. He walked directly to the water tank in the backyard, took off his clothes, poured cold water over his head, and rinsed them quickly.
However, the sound of flushing still woke up Wang Ni, who was the lightest sleeper. She rubbed her eyes and walked out of the room. Although it was dark, she saw the figure on the other side of the water tank from a distance, and she still called out in a low voice:
“Brother Mu?”
“Go and sleep on the bed with Ku’er Le’er. I have to go out tonight.”
Chen Mu said to Wang Ni.
Although the carriage was basically over after entering the City Guards Department, he still had to stay with the government office tonight.
“Um.”
Wang Ni rubbed her sleepy eyes, but instead of calling Ku’er and Le’er, she ran into the house first, brought Chen Mu new clean clothes and towels, helped Chen Mu clean them, and then changed Chen Mu’s clothes.
Chen Mu gently reached out and touched Wang Ni’s head, then walked all the way to the front yard and went out again.
It was late at night.
Except for the lights of the City Guards in the distance, everything else nearby was pitch black with not a single soul in sight. At this time, even the gangs that appeared at night were basically no longer active.
Chen Mu was walking in the streets, surrounded by silence. Even the sound of a pin falling to the ground could be clearly heard. The only sound that came to his ears was the echo of footsteps on the bluestone pavement.
Step, step, step,
Chen Mu walked towards the City Guards Department, walking through the streets step by step.
Until he reached the end of the alley and turned out of the alley entrance…a cold light suddenly appeared. It was the tip of a silver gun, which suddenly broke through the air. Under the dim moonlight, it seemed to tear through the night. A stream of light.
The entire quiet street seemed to be boiling in an instant, and the previous dead silence suddenly turned into a murderous intent! There will be a fourth update, which will always be here, but it will be later.
