Xu Hongyu’s status in the fourth generation of the Yu family is very high, and she is a strong person who has entered the Yijin realm and can stand alone. Yu Yun knows that it will be okay no matter how much trouble she and Yu Ru have, but they cannot interfere with Xu Hongyu’s affairs. Otherwise, at least you will get a reprimand, and at worst, you may be punished by facing the wall to think about your fault.
Therefore, after recognizing Chen Mu, Yu Yun left without further entanglement.
After all, this is Nancheng, and nothing good will happen if Xu Hongyu gets into trouble.
The main reason is that Xu Hongyu prefers Yu Ru. On the one hand, Yu Ru’s father and Xu Hongyu’s mother are biological siblings. Yu Ru and Xu Hongyu are almost like biological sisters, while Yu Yun’s relationship is farther away.
On the other hand, Xu Hongyu’s father disappeared in her early years, and Yu Ru’s mother suffered from an incurable disease and died very early. Therefore, Xu Hongyu has taken great care of Yu Ru since she was a child… Of course, most of Yu Yun’s dissatisfaction with Yu Ru also comes from For this reason, when I had a fight with Yu Ru when I was a child, the adults on either side always favored Yu Ru.
certainly.
The elders in the Yu family don’t care about these things. It’s normal for the younger generation to have good and bad relationships. Yu Yun and Yu Ru’s quarrels with each other can also promote the competitive atmosphere in the martial arts academy.
Chen Mu didn’t know much about the inside of the Yu family. The only people he was familiar with so far were Xu Hongyu, Xiao He and Yu Ru. This was the first time Yu Yun had met him. After listening to some of Chen Yue’s statements, he roughly understood Know something.
So I didn’t care even more.
certainly.
If he were an elder of the Yu family, he would probably discipline a little girl like Yu Yun severely. Although Yu Ru’s temperament is a bit too soft, Yu Yun is also a bit too proud at a young age.
However, Chen Yue’s previous reaction impressed him. Facing Yu Yun and a few followers, he was not inferior at all in terms of momentum. If Yu Ru’s temperament is to say, martial arts training can only be about strengthening the body, then Chen Yue, If you can practice to a certain level in the future, you will indeed be able to stand alone.
After getting along for a short time and taking in Chen Yue’s changes and Yu Ru’s situation, Chen Mu quickly changed the topic and chatted for a few words, which made Yu Ru burst into tears and laugh, leaving the sadness behind. .
Taking two little girls to play together.
Both Yu Ru and Chen Yue were wearing elegant dresses. Although they were still very immature, they already had a youthful and hazy girlish beauty. When they showed their faces and laughed, they added a bit of girlish charm. They also attracted attention along the way. Come to a lot of sight.
There were some with bad intentions among them, but when they noticed Chen Mu leading Yu Ru and Chen Yue, many of them quickly converged their gazes. Some who did not restrain themselves followed quietly for a while, and soon disappeared silently.
Although Chen Mu is not wearing official uniform, ordinary people may not recognize him, but gangsters of various gangs usually do the job of recognizing people, and there are few who don’t recognize the dignified Wutongli Chasi.
A police officer is undoubtedly someone who cannot be messed with.
Chen Mu also noticed some secret glances, but he didn’t pay attention. Today, he is no longer Wu Xia Amen. In the early years, if he wanted to take Chen Yue out to play, he would have to smear her little face dirty and make her look ugly. , now walking openly in the streets, still calm and composed.
After walking around the main street in a large circle, several people came to the back of the main street. After walking forward for a while, a row of towering bluestone courtyard walls appeared in front of them. The atmosphere was solemn and solemn, and one could still see inside the courtyard walls. See a four-story high-rise building.
“This should be the City Health Department of Nancheng District?”
Chen Yue looked up at the long, open area ahead.
“Um.”
Chen Mu nodded slightly and said: “Speaking of Xu Hong… Well, Mr. Xu may be back. Xiaoru, do you want to go in and take a look?”
Yu Ru looked in the direction of the City Guard General Department and said, “I haven’t seen Sister Hongyu for a long time. I heard that Sister Hongyu went out of the city to hunt monsters. It seems that she will be back during this time.”
“Let’s go.”
Chen Mu took Chen Yue and Yu Ru to the City Guard General Department.
He hadn’t seen Xu Hongyu for a long time. He only heard from Xiaohe that he would be back in about a day or two. If he came back, he would be able to explain some recent events to Xu Hongyu and give a brief work report.
soon.
Several people entered the City Guard Department and arrived at the fourth floor.
“It’s sister Xiaoru, why are you here?”
Xiao He was browsing a document in the lobby on the fourth floor. When he saw Chen Mu, Chen Yue and Yu Ru coming up, he didn’t show any surprise and looked at Yu Ru with a smile.
An ordinary maid would have to address Yu Ru as Miss, but Xiao He is different. Not only is Xu Hongyu’s personal maid who has been with her since she was a child, but she is also a person who has entered the realm of Yijin. She can take Xu Hongyu’s place when Xu Hongyu is away. He is in charge of the General Department of City Security. When Xu Hongyu is promoted in the future, he will even be qualified to take over the post of General Police Department.
In fact, the relationship between Xiao He and Yu Ru is also very good.
“Sister He.”
Yu Ru greeted Xiao He obediently, and then said, “I want to come and see Sister Hongyu.”
Xiao He reached out and touched Yu Ru’s head and said, “Miss, something happened. She can’t go back to the city these days. When Miss comes back, she will definitely go to the inner city to see sister Xiao Ru.”
Speaking of which.
She looked at Chen Mu and winked at Chen Mu.
Chen Mu understood, patted Chen Yue on the shoulder, and then followed Xiao He into the side room of the government office.
“What happened?”
Chen Mu walked into the side hall and asked Xiao He.
Xiaohe shook his head and said: “It’s not a big deal. You know that the Yu family has been in charge of the ‘Salt Affairs Department’ and is responsible for the entire salt transportation business in Yucheng. Yesterday, a batch of salt goods was robbed outside the city. The lady was supposed to come back. Yes, after this happened, I turned around and tracked it down. According to some clues, it was most likely the ‘Black Cloud Thief’.”
“Black Cloud Thief…”
Chen Mu looked thoughtful.
He had also heard of this name. It was said that they were a group of bandits entrenched in the mountains to the north of Yucheng. They were very vicious and often committed robberies. Yucheng had also sent troops to suppress the bandits many times, but all failed.
Several of their bosses were on wanted notices from the City Guards Department, with heavy bounties on their heads. Among them, the reward for the eldest boss reached 5,000 taels of silver, and the reward for the second boss was as much as 3,000 taels!
“Actually, this Black Cloud Bandit has always had some unclear connections with the He family.”
Xiaohe said again.
If there is something to do with the forces in the inner city behind it, or simply the outside forces used by the He family to do some shady things, then it would be understandable. After all, who dares to kill Mr. Huang’s horse?
Chen Mu thought for a while and asked, “So the Yu family plans to mobilize troops to defeat the Black Cloud Bandits?”
“No.”
Xiao He shook his head: “It’s not worth going to war over a group of bandits. Besides, even if we really mobilize our troops, it would be difficult for the Heiyun thieves to keep their hands and the He family to inform them. It would be difficult to pounce on them and catch two people here and there. It’s just a waste of time.”
At this point, Xiao He looked at Chen Mu and whispered: “I have a piece of information here. The He family has a batch of prohibited goods to be transported in the past two days. There is a high probability that they will bypass your Wutongli and go to ‘Xigouli’ The possible route over there is… You take people to see if they can capture this batch of goods. I can’t send troops to help here. The He family’s eyes and ears are everywhere. You have to act strictly over there. Beware of the city guards. Si Li also has an informant from the He family.”
“Well, I understand.”
Chen Mu nodded calmly.
This should be the battle between the He family and the Yu family. The He family used the hands of the black cloud thieves to steal a batch of the Yu family’s goods. The Yu family’s counterattack came immediately, and they also wanted to deal with a batch of the He family’s goods. fight back.
Xiao He looked at Chen Mu, suddenly moved closer, and whispered: “Be careful. If something cannot be done, give up first.”
Chen Mu sniffed the faint fragrance coming from his nose, turned his head to look at her, and said, “Is this an instruction from above, or… is it something you want to tell me yourself?”
Xiao He’s cheeks were slightly red, she took a step back, pursed her lips and smiled softly: “I am just a little maid. I dare not be teased by Master Chen without the consent of the young lady…”
Chen Mu watched Xiao He walk out of the side hall, his eyes swept over the still clean side room, and he could still vaguely recall Xu Hongyu’s slim figure in that tight white flying fish suit, standing at the window overlooking Nancheng.
Um.
It just looks a little too cold.
……
After leaving the side room, Xiao He and Yu Ru talked some more, and then sent the group out of the headquarters.
Chen Mu saw that it was getting late, so he sent Chen Yue and Yu Ru all the way back to the inner city. When they were leaving, Chen Yue looked at Chen Mu reluctantly, wanting to rush up and hug him like he did in the past, but he was a little embarrassed. Finally, He just waved his hand.
Yu Ru didn’t dare to look at Chen Mu. She lowered her head and said goodbye to Chen Mu, then ran into the inner city with Chen Yue.
Chen Mu watched Chen Yue and Yu Ru leave with gentle eyes.
After the two figures disappeared from sight, he slowly turned around, his eyes became cold again, and soon returned to the City Guard Department and issued an order.
Not long after.
Seven heads from the City Guard Department gathered one after another.
“There will be operations in the next few nights. There is no need to mobilize the officers below, and there is no need to ask any questions. Just follow my instructions.”
Chen Mu looked at Shang Qinglai and others and spoke in a calm tone.
“yes.”
Shang Qinglai and others responded one after another.
Then they looked at each other, but they didn’t know what action to take. But since the seven of them were required to follow together, it must be an important event.
Chen Mu’s authority in the City Guard Department is now growing day by day. He can issue orders and prohibitions. Shang Qinglai and others don’t even dare to ask about the specific content, and just obey each other.
“Okay, now go back and change into casual clothes. We will meet at Sanchakou in time.”
Chen Mu gave an instruction and then waved his hand.
Shang Qinglai and others resigned accordingly.
All the way out of the office, someone whispered: “I’m going out in casual clothes, I don’t know what it is…”
Shang Qinglai whispered: “Don’t ask, since you don’t tell me, you have your own reasons.”
Several people nodded one after another, left the City Guard Department, and left separately.
but.
After one of the officers was far away from the City Guards, there was a flash of light in his eyes. After quickly walking into the street in front of him, he turned around, changed his direction, and walked towards a remote neighborhood.
After a while, Zhang Tong came to the end of a remote alley and arrived in front of a dilapidated tile-roofed house. He reached out and knocked on the door, and then said in a deep voice to the door: “The City Guards is taking action tonight.”
“knew.”
Someone inside the door responded in a low voice.
Zhang Tong nodded, then looked around nervously, then quickly turned around and left.
He actually didn’t want to tip off others and leak the internal actions of the City Guard Department, but… they gave too much. As long as he worked quietly for a year or two, he could get money that he couldn’t earn in ten years. .
However.
Just as Zhang Tong quietly slipped back to the entrance of the alley and walked out, his whole body suddenly froze in place.
On one side of the alley entrance, Chen Mu was standing there quietly, looking at him.
