inner city
Located in the center is a simple and solemn tower and a towering bluestone courtyard wall. This is the center of Yu City, where the city lord’s palace and all the government offices are located.
In the small building on one side, a middle-aged man in plain clothes stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking out at the courtyard.
Although he was not wearing official clothes, the aura between his brows and eyes alone conveyed a majesty that was beyond the comparison of ordinary people.
He is the capital of the outer city, Yan Guang.
In addition to the four city guards in the southeast, northwest, and all yamen in the entire outer city area, he is also under his jurisdiction. Not only is he Xu Hongyu’s direct boss, he is also a top figure in the entire Yucheng.
The only people above him were the governor, the city lord and a few other figures.
“I heard there was some commotion in Nancheng last night?”
Suddenly someone walked in. Yan Guang did not turn around, but stood in front of the window and asked casually.
The person coming from behind smiled and said: “It’s such a small thing, I didn’t expect that even you have heard about it.”
Yan Guang turned his head and said calmly: “The Zheng family is indeed nothing, they are just a distant relative of the He family. But the young man promoted by Hong Yu has quite a lot of abilities.”
“Well, this boy was accidentally dug up by Xu Hongyu. He was originally just a low-level person, but he is quite savvy. He taught himself a set of sword techniques and perfected his sword skills. He is also extremely talented. In a short period of time, he has mastered extreme skin grinding. Now he has It’s to the point of training meat.”
Xue Xiang nodded and said.
Yan Guang thought deeply: “The understanding and qualifications are quite extraordinary. Even if he started a little late, if he can reach the level of Yijin, then he is a talent worth recruiting.”
Xue Xiang thought for a while and said: “This Chen Mu was almost single-handedly trained by Xu Hongyu from the bottom. It is not that easy to bring him under the Xue family. It is not worth fighting. I think it is better to leave it to the Yu family and let the Yu family and the He family fight.” Let’s keep fighting.”
When Yan Guang heard this, he looked thoughtful.
Although Chen Mu was promoted by Xu Hongyu, it is not difficult if he wants to intercept someone. He can directly promote Chen Mu to work in the inner city, and in one step he can remove Chen Mu from the fight between the Yu and He families. Pulled out of the mire.
You can even give Yijin Pills, find children of the right age among the children of the Xue family, and give them to Chen Mu, etc.
There are many ways to solicit.
The main issue is still weighing the pros and cons.
Judging from the current information, Chen Mu does have a good understanding and talent, but after all, he started a little late. He is still in the realm of meat training. No one knows whether he can cross the threshold of Yijin.
It would be a joke if Chen Mu could not reach the Yijin level after recruiting him by various means.
After all, there are as many martial artists as there are martial artists who can sharpen their skin and train their flesh. If they don’t get into Yijin, it’s nothing at all.
“That’s fine.”
Yan Guang thought for a moment and shook his head slightly.
Indeed, as Xue Xiang said, it is not worth going to war. Even if Chen Mu can step into the Yi Jin level in the future, it can only be said that he is a talent worth recruiting, and it is not necessary.
The Yu family is in a difficult situation now, so there is no need to deliberately target him. He is just a potential talent, so let him go. If it can bring a little more trouble to the He family, it will be useful.
……
Nancheng District.
General Department of City Health.
Chen Mu, wearing dark green uniform, came to the bottom of the main building.
It was almost noon at this time, and the blazing sun made it difficult for people to open their eyes.
Although he had ordered someone to report to the headquarters early in the morning to report on last night’s events, he still had to come and report on his duties in person after handling various matters.
Go all the way up the stairs.
But just as he was passing the third floor, a cold voice came: “Chen Chai Si is so powerful that he mobilized his troops to fight against the Zheng family without informing the chief comrade in advance. Could it be that all the chaps in Wutong have already Became a private soldier mobilized by Chen Chasi at will? “
I saw one person walking towards this side, with a cold face and a bad tone. It was He Mingxuan, the deputy chief of missions.
Although the Zheng family is nothing to the He family, after all, they have raised domestic dogs in the outer city for decades, and they give tens of thousands of taels of silver to the He family every year.
Now, overnight, everything was completely destroyed!
This shocked He Mingxuan, who had heard the news early in the morning. He originally wanted the Zheng family to take the lead and cause more trouble for Chen Mu. He would then attack from the headquarters and find an opportunity to kick Chen Mu out of the Wutongli City Guards Department to facilitate arrangements. Use your own people to take over.
As a result, before the Zheng family had done anything, on the fifth day after Chen Mu took office, he suddenly took action and uprooted the Zheng family.
It’s really a good trick! He Mingxuan reacted even more furiously.
However.
The next scene made He Mingxuan even more furious.
I saw Chen Mu standing there with an indifferent expression and said, “Who are you?”
He Mingxuan was stunned when faced with Chen Mu’s reaction, and then a surge of anger arose: “You bastard!”
Although it was the first time that he and Chen Mu met, how could Chen Mu not recognize his identity! Chen Mu said calmly: “If nothing happens to you, please don’t block the way.”
Of course he knew who the person in front of him was, but since He Mingxuan didn’t reveal his identity, he was naturally too lazy to identify him. Moreover, the conflict between Xu Hongyu and He Mingxuan was well known to everyone, so he didn’t need to give him any face.
“you……”
He Mingxuan was filled with smoke for a moment. He was the dignified deputy chief police officer and a direct descendant of the He family. Xu Hongyu was nothing more than Xu Hongyu. How could a small police officer dare to be so rude to him?
However, just when He Mingxuan was furious and about to explode because he could no longer bear it, a crisp voice suddenly came.
“This is Mr. He, the Vice Chief Chaplain.”
I saw Xiao He’s figure appearing on the stairs.
“Oh, it turns out to be Mr. He.”
Chen Mu cupped his hands at He Mingxuan.
He Mingxuan’s face was frozen there, feeling that he had nowhere to vent his anger, and said in a cold voice: “You haven’t explained clearly the reason for the quarrel with the Zheng family last night.”
Xiao He took over the words: “The Zheng family smuggled illegal medicinal materials and ransacked their homes and sent them into exile. Mr. Chen has reported it to the chief police officer in advance. The action last night was also approved by the chief police officer. If Mr. He has any questions, you can ask Mr. Chief Chaosi asked. “
“……very good.”
He Mingxuan had a gloomy face, glanced at Xiao He coldly, then at Chen Mu, and then left with a puff of sleeves.
Xiaohe watched He Mingxuan turn around, the corners of his eyes curved slightly in a cute way, and then looked at Chen Mu and said, “Okay, come up quickly, the lady is waiting for you.”
Chen Mu and Xiao He looked at each other in tacit understanding, and both regained their calm expressions. Then they walked upstairs together and quickly disappeared on the fourth floor.
After a long time, some silent police officers cautiously glanced this way, and then quickly looked away.
