City Guards Department
“Have you found out?”
Chen Mu listened to Liu Song’s report and spoke calmly.
Liu Song said from the side: “Reporting to your lord, the news comes from the Blackwater Gang, it should be true.”
“good.”
Chen Mu nodded slightly.
What he asked Liu Song to inquire about was the smuggling of medicinal materials by the Zheng family.
Among the things the Zheng family has done, smuggling medicinal materials is not the most serious crime, but it is the most implicated. If it is uncovered, the Zheng family can be uprooted, instead of being charged with bullying men and dominating women. Catch two or three cats and kittens.
Yes.
Chen Mu has never been interested in accompanying the Zheng family to play tricks slowly.
In fact, smuggling medicinal materials has long been out of control in today’s world. Even the court itself cannot control this part. It is nothing more than a money-making business. The Zheng family has been doing it for many years.
Chen Mu is a police officer of the City Guards Department. To deal with the Zheng family, there is no need to engage in traps and tricks. All you need to do is grab a handle. And the real key is not what the Zheng family is guilty of, but whether it can be done. Cut the mess with a sharp knife.
After all, there is power behind the Zheng family, and it is a big family with a big business, and it is also intricately connected in Wutong.
To deal with this kind of force, either let it go, or uproot it with a thunderous blow, without giving other involved forces and the people behind the Zheng family a chance to react.
Normally this is not easy. After all, the Zheng family is powerful, with dozens of martial arts guards and hundreds of servants. They are not even afraid of a direct conflict with the City Guards. In addition, the Zheng family has spies all over the city. If there is any big movement on Si’s side, the reaction there will usually be very quick.
but……
When Chen Mu took office as a new official, he launched a large-scale morning and dusk drills as soon as he came on. There was a lot of excitement. After a few days, everyone became accustomed to the movements of the City Guards Department.
Even though the number of people patrolling the streets doubled within a few days of the City Guards Department, and the number of times three squads of police officers gathered was even more frequent, it was just regarded as a fire caused by the new police officer’s appointment and was not paid much attention to.
Chen Mu slowly walked to the window sill and looked out at the outer courtyard of the City Guards Department with his hands behind his hands.
In the outer courtyard, a large number of officers were holding swords and practicing in a precise manner. The shouts and shouts were so loud that they could be heard clearly from several streets away. They looked quite impressive.
“Just tonight.”
A glimmer of light flashed in Chen Mu’s eyes.
Today is the fifth day since he took office. It happens to be the time when Wutongli has become familiar with him as the new police chief, and has become accustomed to the big actions of the city guard in the past few days.
……
At night.
Wutongli is noisier than Kutiaoli during the day, but at night, it is almost the same. Every house has its doors closed, and no one can be seen in the dark streets.
The two carriages drove slowly through the streets and approached Wutongli. The carriages were pulled manually and tried not to make any noise. They were followed by twenty or thirty people, escorting the carriages through the dark night.
suddenly.
In the street under the night, there were many figures moving around, and more than a dozen figures appeared in front of the carriage.
“For what?”
A group of people blocking the carriage asked in a low voice.
Among the group of people escorting the carriage, one person walked forward slowly, revealing a face under the dim moonlight. He slightly clasped his fists at the dozen or so people in front and said, “Brothers, please borrow the Zheng family’s carriage.” ”
“Oh, who did I think it was? It turned out to be from Mr. Zheng’s family…”
The group of people escorting the carriage were also used to it. They each said hello, then pulled up the carriage and walked through the streets again. When they completely entered the boundary of Wutongli, everyone’s expressions became visibly relaxed.
“Okay.”
Zheng Fu, the leader, breathed out.
The name of the Zheng family may not be useful in other areas of Nancheng District, but when you return to Wutong, it is basically fine. Few gangs are willing to have trouble with the Zheng family.
The dozen or so people just now were from the Crocodile Gang. When they saw that it was the Zheng family’s bicycle frame, they let them go.
The people escorting the carriages were all the nurses of the Zheng family. Now that they had returned to familiar territory, they were basically relaxed. They even started to lower their voices and chatted one after another about which widow they were talking about. How it tastes.
However.
Just when a group of people passed by an alley.
Suddenly, there were more people moving around. Twenty or thirty people came out from the front and back of the alley, blocking the front of the alley. They turned around and looked back. Dozens of people also came out from behind, blocking the back of the alley. It was dark and dark, and they couldn’t see anything. .
Everyone in the Zheng family was startled when they saw this.
The leader, Zheng Fu, was not nervous. He took a few steps forward, raised his fists at the figure, and said in a low voice: “I am Zheng Fu, am I a brother from the Quicksand Gang or a brother from the Blackwater Gang? Let’s give it a try. “
This is already the boundary of Wutongli, and the gangs that operate at night are just a few gangs. The Liusha Gang has a joint business with the Zheng family, and other gangs such as the Bandit Gang do not interfere with each other. The only one who has had some conflicts is the Blackwater Gang. Without the foundation to fight with the Zheng family, they basically just greeted each other and passed away.
However.
Zheng Fu’s words did not receive any response.
Dozens of figures in and around the alley stood motionless, looking like ghosts in the dark.
Seeing this scene, Zheng Fu frowned and couldn’t help but said in a deep voice: “Are you going to have trouble with the Zheng family? This is the boundary of Wutong, so you must think clearly.”
Generally speaking, when they escort the carriages, they will only encounter trouble in places other than Wutong. There may be conflicts between some unfamiliar gangs, or new ones, but there are still almost no conflicts in Wutong.
But in the next moment.
The torch suddenly lit up.
In an instant, the dark streets were illuminated, and the scene revealed made Zheng Fu’s pupils shrink, revealing a hint of horror.
I saw rows of dark figures standing in front and behind, all dressed in neat gray uniforms. They were dozens of official officials, including several chief officials in blue.
“Zheng Fu?”
Shang Qinglai held a torch and slowly walked out of the crowd. He looked at Zheng Fu with a faint look and said, “Can you tell me, what is on the frame of your bicycle?”
Zheng Fu’s face suddenly turned extremely ugly.
He never expected that the person who intercepted him in the middle of the night would be an official from the City Guards Department. If it were other gangs, it would be fine. There was a high probability that they would bump into each other by chance, but so many official officials were obviously coming for them. .
When he thought of what happened a few days ago, Zheng Fu’s face became even more ugly. This was obviously the new police officer’s revenge. I’m afraid it would be difficult tonight, but the key was to let my family know as soon as possible.
At the moment, he could only say in a deep voice: “It’s just some ordinary goods. Can Mr. Shang do it for me?”
“Ordinary goods, I don’t think so.”
Shang Qinglai sneered, waved his hand and said, “Come here, take them all down for me!”
