The twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month, one thousand four hundred and twenty-eight years in the Great Xuan calendar
Inspection Division.
Chen Mu was sitting in the office on the fifth floor of the department building, constantly approving one thing after another.
Half a month has passed since the destruction of the He family. The He family was a behemoth, and its spreading branches were intertwined. It would not be complete after just wiping out part of the inner city. There were also many other branches that needed to be dealt with.
He couldn’t leave these things to others, let alone the Yu family. He, the supervisor, could only review them one by one, and then pass them on after review.
but.
This day is almost coming to an end.
On the one hand, in the past half month, basically all the government affairs that should be dealt with have been handled to a minimum. All officials who have clearly identified the origin of the family have basically been dismissed from their posts, investigated and dealt with, and those with heinous crimes have been replaced on the spot. execution.
Those who are not clear and just prefer the He family will be dealt with at the discretion of each government office. If any violation of laws and disciplines is found, they will be dealt with strictly. If there is no violation of laws and disciplines, they will be temporarily retained until all other matters are dealt with. No follow-up.
On the other hand, Yan Jingqing is coming back.
After half a month, the battle in the Purple Mist Mountains has basically come to an end. The main altar of the remnants of the Tianzhi Sect has been basically turned upside down by the four sects, and all kinds of resources have been allocated in an unorganized manner.
Chen Mu took a sip of tea and picked up another note.
“Fu Linjiang abandoned his official position and fled. He was discovered when he was leaving the city. He tried to resist and was killed on the spot…”
Um.
He still had some impression of this person, as if he was a police officer who followed He Mingxuan a long time ago, but it was just not worth paying attention to, so he had not paid any attention to him.
Although he was a member of the He family, if he had not committed any crime, Chen Mu would most likely be too lazy to be acquainted with a small policeman. However, thinking about it, it was unlikely. After all, he was working with He Mingxuan, and now he was killed on the spot. Forget it.
“Lord Dusi, the supervisor is back!”
Suddenly, an official from the Supervision Department came to report.
Chen Mu marked “read” on the note, and then stood up. Following the officials all the way downstairs, he soon saw Yan Jingqing walking from a distance, still dressed in white, followed by two people. Dusi.
“See Lord Inspector.”
Many officials of the Supervision Department bowed down one after another.
Yan Jingqing did not stick to formal etiquette, and quickly came over and went upstairs with Chen Mu. After arriving on the sixth floor, he began to listen to Chen Mu’s summary report on various affairs in Yucheng.
After almost listening, Yan Jingqing nodded slightly and said: “Well, I know most of the things. The He family deserves it. Although you did it a little hastily, but the situation at that time was a quick response to the situation. Follow-up You have done a good job in handling everything. Sure enough, you already have some experience in being an official. “
For Yan Jingqing.
It is not difficult to deal with the He family. It is easy to destroy the He family. But the key is how to quickly calm down the chaos in various ministries and offices and the inner and outer city after the He family is destroyed. This is the problem. key.
After Chen Mu annihilated the He family, he did not use the Yu family’s people to fill all the vacancies in the He family. Instead, he divided them very clearly. First, he issued an order to temporarily transfer the important positions to the higher level. The officials of the same government department at the same level serve concurrently to maintain the stability of the overall situation, and then assign them one by one, from arrest to interrogation, judgment, and official appointment and dismissal, all in an orderly manner.
After that, the vacant official positions were checked and filled one by one. Based on the intelligence information of each yamen, suitable personnel were selected from top to bottom, either promoted or transferred. In just half a month, most of them were Problems are solved one by one.
“My subordinates are just doing their best. Without the intelligence information from the Supervision Department on various ministries and offices in Yucheng, they would probably be in a mess with no way to start.”
Chen Mu responded without taking any credit.
In fact, it’s not really about how powerful he is, it’s just that the government is corrupt to a certain extent. If you just wipe the roster a few times, it might be better than the original situation. He just follows the principle of seeking truth from facts and does things as they are. That’s all.
But in today’s world where he only cares about his own interests and wants to make clear arrangements for all his relatives and distant neighbors who are beyond his reach, he has worked hard all the way and appears to be like a green lotus that emerges from the mud and remains unstained.
Yan Jingqing smiled and said: “Don’t be too modest, it should be your contribution, it’s yours… Meng Danyun told me that joining the Qixuan Sect is a more suitable path for you, but I think it’s okay if you don’t work as an official outside. It has buried your talent. Of course, it will be of great benefit to you to practice in Qixuan Sect. I also practiced under Qixuan Sect as a foreign official for some time. Well, when Meng Danyun returns to Qixuan Sect, If you are interested, you can go with her.”
Hearing Yan Jingqing’s words, Chen Mu felt relieved.
In fact, if he expresses his intention to go to Qixuan Sect, Yan Jingqing will definitely not stop him, but it is naturally better not to waste more words. But according to Yan Jingqing, Meng Danyun seems to be still in Yu County.
Chen Mu thought for a while and said to Yan Jingqing: “Thank you for your kindness, sir. Now that the incident has subsided, I still have some personal matters that require me to leave Yucheng. In addition, I can also do my part in hunting down the remnants of the Tianzhi Sect. force.”
“It’s up to you to decide.”
Yan Jingqing said in an easy-going manner: “The position of head of the Supervision Department is still vacant. Are you willing to take over?”
This sentence made Chen Mu feel a little startled, and then he shook his head secretly. Although he had already reached the second step of practicing the Xunfeng artistic conception earlier, and had made great progress in the simulation and disguise of the breath, it seemed that he still He couldn’t hide it from the eyes of Yan Jingqing, a top being in the Six Fu Realm. No wonder Yan Jingqing would keep him in the inner city at that time. I’m afraid it was also for this reason.
In fact, Daxuan’s official positions have always corresponded to the grades of martial arts. In addition to the virtual title of the first grade, the grades from second to ninth grade also correspond to the eight levels of martial arts. The fifth grade chief corresponds to the five internal organs realm.
Yan Jingqing specifically mentioned that he could take over as the head of the department, which was a dark reminder of his level.
“My subordinate has not been in office for a long time and is not familiar with all the affairs. It is still too early to take over as the head of the department.”
Chen Mu thought for a while and responded.
Because Yan Jingqing’s tone was not an order, but a hint of negotiation. He wanted to see his opinion, so he simply expressed that he did not want to be promoted to the position of director at this time, mainly because he would be transferred soon. It doesn’t make sense to practice in the Qixuan Sect and be promoted to the director now.
“That’s fine.”
Yan Jingqing nodded slightly.
In fact, he had no intention of stopping Chen Mu from practicing martial arts, but in terms of martial arts, the five internal organs realm was a watershed. After entering the five internal organs realm, he went to the Qixuan Sect to practice hard for a period of time before being reborn.
Before reaching the Five Zang Realm, it actually doesn’t make much sense to go to Qixuan Sect. Even if you understand the artistic conception, practicing various artistic conception secrets is still very difficult and often difficult to master. The only way to start is to enter the Five Zang Realm or to understand the second step of the artistic conception.
……
Leave Yan Jingqing’s place.
Chen Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
These days, he was extremely busy dealing with all kinds of trivial matters after the He family was wiped out. Now he could finally attend to errands and no longer had to waste time on government affairs.
In fact, he had something to leave Yucheng for a long time ago. It was about his mother Liu Ping’s sister, his aunt Liu Rong. Someone had been found in Anyu County.
He has always kept this matter in mind and has never forgotten it. However, he had not broken through the five internal organs realm earlier and faced various threats. It was not the right time to leave the city. Later, he reached the key point of serving as the supervisor of the supervisory department and was left in Yu by Yan Jingqing. The city is in control of the overall situation, and it is even more impossible to leave the post without authorization, so it has to continue to be placed.
Until now.
Finally, everything has come to an end, and we can go to Anyu County.
In addition, Xu Hongyu was still hunting down the remnants of the Tianzhi Sect under the orders of the Demon Slayer Division. He was now in the area of Anyu County. This time, he could pick up Xu Hongyu and return to Yucheng together.
As for the remaining members of the He family…
Yan Jingqing told him that basically all the elite members of the He family had been wiped out. Only He Wuyou was still outside, but he was also injured by Meng Danyun. This was also a minor hidden danger. Xu Hongyu had better return to Yucheng earlier. It was only safe under the wings of Yu Jiujiang. Although Yu Jiujiang was in a worse state after the previous battle, he was still a strong man in the five internal organs realm within a year or two.
Of course, it would be best if He Wuyou, who was full of hatred for him and intercepted him on the way, would be the one to end the matter completely, so he had to do something a little bit during this trip.
After thinking about it.
Chen Mu returned to the Yu family’s residence.
As the battle in the Purple Mist Mountains came to an end, many members of the Yu family returned, including the head of the family, Yu Zuyi.
Chen Mu found Yu Zuyi and after explaining some things, he quietly set off with Chen Yue to Anyu County.
……
Seven or eight days later.
On the official road from Yu County to Anyu County.
A carriage was speeding, its wheels rolling past, and dust was flying all the way.
Chen Mu was wearing a simple gown and was sitting at the front of the car steering the car. Chen Yue was not sitting in the car, but sitting on the other side of the carriage frame. Her two little feet in little flower shoes followed the speed of the carriage. While swaying, a pair of big eyes kept looking around at the mountains and waterscapes in the distance, looking very happy.
In so many years, apart from being taken by Chen Mu to worship her parents, this was her first real trip out of the city. She was very curious about everything outside the city and was quite excited along the way.
Actually.
“Brother, do you think we are now fighting the world with swords and traveling around the world?”
Chen Yue suddenly came closer to Chen Mu and said with a smile.
Chen Mu turned his head to look at her and said: “We are still far from being able to fight with a sword in the world. We are just in remote mountains and fields, but we are traveling in the world… When have we been out of the world?”
It was probably the environment in the inner city that made this girl not realize that the world was already a whole world.
“That’s it.”
Chen Yue looked up at the sky with a happy look on her face and said, “My brother has told me many stories. In fact, when I was very young, what I wanted most was to tell stories with my brother. people inside.”
Chen Mu looked at Chen Yue, and then at the official road that stretched to the end of his sight in the distance. He felt a little leisurely in his heart. At first, he just thought that he could live a good life with Chen Yue.
But human desires are always endless.
“You’re already in the story.”
Chen Mu reached out and touched Chen Yue’s head, then glanced to one side of the official road.
Chen Yue noticed Chen Mu’s gaze and looked over. Then she saw seven or eight figures suddenly tumbled out of the ditch on the side of the official road and directly blocked the carriage.
The leader showed a ferocious face, holding a steel knife, and said: “I opened this mountain, I planted this tree…”
“Here, it’s the Jianghu you want.”
Chen Mu smiled at Chen Yue.
It would be strange to walk on the official road in broad daylight without a large number of guards and attendants, so it would be strange not to encounter bandits who rob the road. The disciples of the four sects stationed in Yu County only made the situation slightly better, but in fact there are still many .
“Hee hee, then this chivalrous girl should act chivalrously and righteously.”
Chen Yue blinked her eyes, and then with a shake of her little hand, she pulled out the soft sword that she was sitting on half of her buttocks to prevent it from being knocked off by the shaking of the carriage. Then she jumped up, got out of the car, and charged at the seven or eight bandits in front of her. Kill it.
“Oh, she’s a pretty girl.”
The nearest knife-wielding gangster had a lewd smile on his face, but as soon as he swung the knife, his eyes blurred, and Chen Yue’s figure passed by him. His throat hurt even more, and he felt a wave of pain. The heat flowed down.
His eyes widened slightly, and he stretched out his hand to touch it. It was all covered with blood, and then he swayed and fell down.
“This girl is not bad.”
Chen Mu sat on the carriage and looked at this scene, only smiling slightly.
In fact, Chen Yue is not a weakling. With his level of physical training and Dacheng’s swordsmanship, he can fight against some ordinary robbers. But compared to someone like him who has already stood at the top of a county, he is not considered a weakling. Nothing more.
Speaking of which, this should be Chen Yue’s “actual combat” in the true sense. Maybe because he is beside him, he is very calm, but he can kill people with one sword without hesitation. At least this girl is much stronger than Yu Ru in terms of state of mind. It is indeed suitable for practicing martial arts.
“It’s a prickly idea!”
“Watch out!”
“Oh, hurry up and kill this guy!”
Sensing that something was wrong, the group of gangsters immediately became fierce and ferocious. They surrounded Chen Yue and pointed steel knives at her. One of the leaders even said ferociously: “If you dare to kill my brother, you will be killed.” You’re so tired, I want to let all the brothers have a taste of you, and I’m going to use your body as food and wine!”
All kinds of obscene words and ferocious curses came towards him, but Chen Yue was unexpectedly calm, waving his soft sword to resist attacks from all directions, fighting and retreating, without letting himself be completely surrounded. From time to time, he would strike back with a sword, wounding or even killing someone.
“hiss……”
One of them was hit by a sword in the thigh and stumbled to the ground. After getting up, he looked at Chen Yue’s figure angrily, but suddenly his eyes moved to Chen Mu, who was sitting motionless on the frame.
Women are very skilled in kung fu at such a young age. This pretty boy must be their concubine. If they take down Chen Mu first, they will definitely make Chen Yue a threat to them and allow them to manipulate him.
So he laughed ferociously and walked towards Chen Mu on the carriage.
However.
As soon as he walked to the side of the carriage, he suddenly felt his vision spinning. In the chaos, he only saw a familiar headless corpse standing there. It turned out to be his own corpse.
Even until his death, there was a trace of doubt in his eyes as to how his head fell off.
The more thieves are beaten, the fewer the number.
Soon, only the leading villain was left fighting Chen Yue one on one.
It seems that this person has never practiced the body tempering method, but he is physically strong and strong, and he has a good sword technique and masters the power of the sword, so he can compete with Chen Yue who is in the flesh training state.
Seeing each of his brothers fall down, either killed by Chen Yue, or seriously injured and unable to get up, his eyes finally showed a strong fierce light, and he grew evil, and made a fierce move with the big knife in his hand, He slashed at Chen Yue.
This sword was a fierce, lose-lose attack.
According to the momentum of the sword, Chen Yue’s sword will definitely pierce his throat, and his sword will chop Chen Yue’s shoulder bone at most. Chen Yue has the advantage, but there is ferocity in his eyes, and he does not dodge or dodge. , insisting on exchanging death for injury.
Chen Yue also noticed this. After a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, he did not flinch.
Poof.
The sword pierced the bandit’s throat.
The robber’s knife barely landed on her shoulder, but it was blocked by an invisible force and could not cut even a single inch. Then the entire knife started from the blade, shattered inch by inch, and turned into a grain. Grains of iron slag are scattered.
“Well……”
Blood spilled from the robber’s mouth, and his eyes widened slightly, as if he couldn’t understand what was happening.
Finally, he fell down with a look of reluctance.
Seeing the bandit fall, Chen Yue’s small chest rose and fell violently. It was obvious that she was not at peace inside. She looked at her shoulder again, looking at the iron slag scattered on the ground, exhaled lightly, and then collected it. Pick up the soft sword and return to the carriage.
“Why not hide?”
Chen Mu looked at Chen Yue and asked gently.
Chen Yue’s face was still a little pale, she shook her head and said, “I can win.”
Chen Mu looked at Chen Yue’s face and knew that she was not so decisive because he was behind, but that she had indeed made her own judgment and choice in the moment of the battle, and finally reached out and touched her head. .
“Although it’s your first time, it’s pretty good.”
Although he usually spends more time practicing and doesn’t pay much attention to Chen Yue, he is aware of Chen Yue’s efforts. At first, he wanted to help him, but now he doesn’t want to be him. drag.
Chen Yue gradually calmed down a lot. She smiled and said, “I want to be as powerful as Sister Hongyu.”
Chen Mu smiled and said, “Be more courageous and become someone like Senior Sister Meng.”
“Who is Senior Sister Meng?”
“Oh, I haven’t told you about the true biography of Lingxuan of Qixuan Sect, Meng Danyun.”
“Is it true? Isn’t that someone more powerful than my brother?”
“Senior Sister Meng is indeed ahead of me in cultivation.”
“So my brother is more powerful?”
“I still respect Senior Sister Meng very much.”
For the transitional plot, I can only increase the number of words and write it faster.
