Chapter 99 Killing the Demon
Dozens of City Guard officers escorted the carriage to the City Guard General Department.
Xu Hongyu put on a bamboo hat, and the light gauze hanging down covered her face, and walked at the front, while Chen Mu and Xiao He followed beside her. Although she was not in the official uniform of the chief police officer, pedestrians along the way recognized her. When Chen Mu, the police officer in Wutong, came out, he could roughly guess Xu Hongyu’s identity by looking at the postures of several people, and they all stepped aside with awe on their faces.
Of course, there were also people who secretly peeked and saw that the veil was hazy and couldn’t see clearly, and they felt deeply regretful. After all, they heard that the chief messenger in Nancheng District was as beautiful as a fairy. It was not easy to have the chance to meet her, but she couldn’t get a glimpse of her.
along the way.
Xiao He approached Chen Mu and whispered something to Chen Mu. Chen Mu listened one by one and occasionally responded with a few words.
At the same time, he glanced at the streets he was walking through, and sighed in his heart. He has been in charge of Wutongli for less than half a year, and he will leave here. The police officers who come after him will probably not act like him. Take care of the livelihood of the people.
Just as Xiao He thought, he was naturally not a person who was greedy for power.
Not to mention that he has the strength and confidence now, even if he is just an ordinary messenger, it will be the same. At this time, he will not choose to stay in the outer city, but will only follow Xu Hongyu to the inner city.
After He Mingxuan died, there would be no peace in Nancheng District for a period of time. It would be a land of right and wrong, and he had never been willing to get too involved in right and wrong. Most of the time he had been there, he had to do so out of necessity.
Xu Hongyu was cultivated and promoted all the way, so he naturally had to share Xu Hongyu’s worries and work. As a police officer, the people under his rule were suffering from disasters, so he should also plan his own affairs, including acting in secret and killing some serious and evil people. He also avoided confronting the He family. Things that are not open.
There’s not much to do in the position of Deputy Chief Inspector.
It is also appropriate to go to the inner city for a while, and I can also see Chen Yue more. Although I have only met her once not long ago, it has been more than a year and a half since Chen Yue went to the inner city to practice martial arts. I have also had the opportunity to meet her. There are only a handful of them, and although he can feel reassured by the teachings from the Yu Family Martial Arts School, they are less likely to grow crooked if they are cultivated by themselves.
He didn’t have this ability in the past, but now there is no problem.
soon.
The group arrived at the City Guard General Department.
The City Guard General Department is very lively at the moment. In addition to the people from the former Nancheng District City Guard Department, there are also a group of people from the He family, as well as a group of people from the Xicheng District, plus He Guangzong from the General Department.
Xu Hongyu walked into the City Guard General Department with a cold expression. She ignored the people from the He family and the officers from the Xicheng District. She directly summoned the people from the Nancheng District to take over the batch of prohibited goods escorted by Chen Mu and deliver them to The back hall of the General Secretary.
“Master Xu has been giving orders as soon as he comes back. He is really busy.”
He Guangzong came down from the main building step by step, followed by a group of Nancheng District police officers, and looked at Xu Hongyu coldly.
Xu Hongyu stood with her hands behind her hands. Facing He Guangzong and a group of people, she still had the same cold expression and said, “What do you think, Mr. He, of my handling of Nansi’s affairs?”
He Guangzong said in a calm tone: “One of your deputy chief police officers in Nancheng District was attacked and killed by gangsters for no apparent reason and died at night. Do you, the chief police officer, want to give an explanation?”
Xu Hongyu said coldly: “He Mingxuan was with the gangsters of Heiyun Pirates. He got into trouble with some gangsters and was killed. What does it have to do with the Nancheng District General Secretary? Besides, Mr. He seems not qualified to interfere with Nancheng District affairs.”
“snort!”
He Guangzong’s face darkened when he heard this, and he snorted coldly: “Don’t talk nonsense. As the chief police officer of Nancheng District, you said that my nephew is associated with the Black Cloud Bandits. Do you have evidence? You are making wanton accusations without evidence.” , where is the great law?”
Xu Hongyu glanced at He Guangzong coldly and said: “I’m too lazy to tell you. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can go to Yan Dusi to complain. Nancheng General Division is not your jurisdiction, so please come back.”
“……”
He Guangzong glanced at Xu Hongyu with a cold face.
But he shook his head slightly in his heart.
Judging from Xu Hongyu’s reaction, it seems that it has nothing to do with He Mingxuan’s death, and most of them don’t know anything about it. Although he doesn’t have much contact with Xu Hongyu, he knows that Xu Hongyu doesn’t actually have much depth in the city, and just puts on a cold appearance. If there is no flaw in the words and reactions, then there should be no connection.
He Guangzong looked away, glanced at Xiao He coldly, and then saw Chen Mu next to him. He looked up and down and said, “This must be Chen Chai from Wutong? He really enforces the law impartially and is selfless. ”
“Master He, I’m sorry, I just followed my duty.”
Chen Mu responded calmly.
“snort.”
He Guangzong snorted coldly, stopped talking, and turned around to leave.
Behind him, Fu Linjiang and other police officers looked at each other and followed He Guangzong one after another. Now that the situation was clear, they all knew that Xu Hongyu would most likely not be the chief police officer of Nancheng District again. At some point, the He family will take over, and there is a high probability that He Guangzong himself will be transferred.
Although Xu Hongyu is still the chief police officer, the current situation will naturally follow the He family.
Xu Hongyu watched Fu Linjiang and others leave indifferently.
She had no interest in power struggles. Fu Linjiang and others had always been He Mingxuan’s people. Now that they had followed He Guangzong, she had no interest in using her final power to scold and punish a few people.
soon.
After some command and arrangement, the previous affairs were simply handled, and the transported goods were sorted and placed.
Then she packed her bags and put on the white Feiyu suit. Xu Hongyu took Chen Mu and Xiao He to the inner city.
This is not the first time for Chen Mu to go to the inner city. He has been here many times. However, every time he comes here, he basically just goes to see Chen Yue at the Yujia Martial Academy. He has never wandered around the inner city or gone to the inner city. Go to the depths.
this time.
Led by Xu Hongyu, they entered the inner city all the way and went straight to the center of the inner city.
The various areas in the inner city of Yucheng are quite distinct. The most central area is the palace of the city lord, which is also the chief Yamen of Yucheng. The chief offices of all Yamen are located here.
A large area toward the back is the Xue family’s residence, which occupies a very open area.
There are thousands of people in the Xue family alone. Counting all kinds of servants, maids, attendants, etc., there are almost one hundred thousand people. They are also the largest population in the inner city.
The rest of the Xie family, He family, etc., at most tens of thousands of people, are located in different corners.
also.
There are also some small families such as the Ji family, the Fan family, etc. These inner city families cannot be compared with the four major families. Most of them are dependent on the four families. For example, the Ji family is a distant relative of the Yu family and has been married for many generations. .
Of course, the power of these families in the outer city is still far greater than that of the Zheng family. What the Zheng family dreams of is to enter the inner city, become a big family based in the inner city, and become an in-law of the He family. But this hope Before any light could be seen, it was destroyed by Chen Mu.
Gradually approaching the center of the inner city.
The buildings here have begun to become more and more solemn. The bluestone walls are two or three feet high. Even some martial arts practitioners have difficulty jumping up. There are even three- and even four-story buildings inside. of pavilions.
The size and grandeur of each building are no less than the main building of the Nancheng District City Health Department.
along the way.
There are soldiers standing every once in a while, and from time to time there are teams of people patrolling.
These are the men and horses of the City Guards Department in the inner city. In fact, they are no longer ‘men’, but more like ‘elite soldiers’. Not only have they been trained, they are all warriors who have sharpened their skin and trained their flesh. They also wear iron armor and can casually Sending a group of troops to the outer city is enough to easily crush gangs like the Quicksand Gang.
soon.
Xu Hongyu led Chen Mu and Xiao He to a building located on the north side of the center.
The building is a row of three-story pavilions, with a five-story tower in the center. Outside the pavilion is a towering bluestone tablet with three gilded characters on it, ‘Demon Slayer Division’.
“We’re here, I’ll go in first, you guys just wait here for a while.”
Xu Hongyu gave instructions to Chen Mu and Xiao He, and then walked in.
The Demon Slayer Division! Chen Mu looked up at the stone tablet.
The large gilt characters on the stone tablet seem to have some kind of magical power. Looking directly at it, there is a vague feeling of thrilling, as if it is burning violently.
He has long been familiar with the Demon Slayer Division. During the heyday of the Daxuan Dynasty, the Demon Slayer Division was one of the most powerful yamen offices in Daxuan. It had many masters under its command, including elite heavy-armored men like the Suzaku Guards. military.
Wherever he went, all the monsters were beheaded. The monsters killed by the Demon Slayer Division were of the eighth and ninth levels. Their power was almost higher than that of all other officials. Wherever the Demon Slayer Division went, All yamen must do their best to assist.
Nowadays, although the Daxuan Dynasty has declined, the Demon Slayer Division is still the first government office in Yucheng. Headed by the Xue family, the strongest members of the three families, including Xie, He, and Yu, all serve in the Demon Slayer Division, including some others. The small families in the city, as well as some very few strong men who have risen based on their personal strength.
Just look at the configuration of the Demon Slayer Division.
There is one chief, three chiefs, and twelve deputy chiefs, each of whom is a figure above the bone forging realm. Even Xue Lin, who became the deputy chief by virtue of the power of the Xue family, is still stable. Steadily enter the bone forging realm.
The Demon Slayer Division is aloof and is basically not responsible for any security matters in the inner and outer cities. The only thing responsible is the stability of the entire Yu County. Wherever there are demons causing trouble, they will kill and hunt demons.
Like Xu Hongyu.
Although she is the chief mission officer of the outer city, when she goes out to hunt monsters in the city, she does so in the name of the Demon Slayer Division. When she comes back, she has to go to the Demon Slayer Division to report on her duties first, and then goes to the City Guard Division.
The Demon Slayer Division also has almost all the resources within reach of Yucheng, such as Yijin Pills, Bone Forging Pills, and even the Eight Phases of the Heaven and Earth, all of which can be accessed in the Demon Slayer Division! Only merit is discussed here, nothing else.
Meritorious service can be exchanged for everything.
However, it is difficult to enter the Demon Slayer Division. The minimum requirement is to have perfect physical training and master the power. In other words, a person who can serve as a chaplain outside is just a soldier at the lowest level in the Demon Slayer Division.
If a child from a poor family wants to rise up, he can only practice the body tempering method until he has perfected the body training and strength, and then joins the Demon Slaying Division, performs meritorious deeds, exchanges for Yijin Pills, or has the opportunity to understand the artistic conception map, and climb up step by step. .
But this is basically difficult.
In the past, during the heyday of the Daxuan Dynasty, this road was still passable, but now the places in the Demon Slaying Division are basically in the hands of various families in the inner city, and the casualty rate of the lower-level soldiers of the Demon Slaying Division is very high, and they are not in the Yijin realm. , fighting monsters is extremely dangerous. Even if children from poor families without background enter, many will be placed as cannon fodder.
