And he quietly left the capital with Meng Qing.

The two cities that were about to break out into a storm were indeed very beautiful, and Cao Lao and the others were taken aback when they heard that Chen Mu was going to go to those two cities for a private visit.

After all, according to their speculation, the scale of this storm was not small, and Cao Lao's senior brother was worried that Chen Mu would encounter danger when he went to the city, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to accompany Chen Mu on a private visit.

Seeing this, Chen Mu did not refuse, and after leaving the city, he met with Cao Lao's senior brother on the official road outside the capital, and the group rushed to the two small cities together.

After two days, the group finally arrived at one of the cities.

Chen Mu sent someone to deliver the news in advance that the officials in the city had begun to settle the people stationed in the surrounding villages.

When the people heard that a storm was coming, they didn't believe it, but they saw that the clouds were thick for the past few days, and there was thunder in the sky, but it had not rained for a long time.

The people are also vaguely aware that there is a heavy rain brewing.

The people who lived in simple tents were guided by the officials of the two cities into the city and found simple inns and empty houses to live in.

After Chen Mu settled in one of the cities, he immediately sent his subordinates to inquire about the news, and learned that the officials of the two cities were doing their best to settle the people, Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction.

And when his subordinates hurried back to the inn and reported the matter of relocating the people, they also brought another piece of news.

"What? You say that the people have received a lot less money for resettlement than I have allocated it? ”

"It seems that there are indeed people who are greedy for silver, but I don't know which way the people who are greedy for ink and silver."

It may be from the Ministry of Industry, or it may be a local county magistrate, or it may be an official from Beijing.

The silver was distributed by the officials of the capital, and then transported to the city by the officials of the Ministry of Works.

Then the county guards in the city ordered the silver to be distributed to the people.

The person in charge of mobilizing the silver in Beijing was Chen Mu's confidant, and Chen Mu concluded that it was impossible for that person to do anything to the silver.

As for the officials of the Ministry of Industry, it's hard to say.

Repairing trade roads is a fat gap, and Chen Mu has been sending people to keep an eye on the officials who are responsible for building trade roads, as well as the families behind them.

Although he didn't see that something was wrong, but now that he had found out that there was a problem with the silver, Chen Mu thought about it for a while, and was still ready to let people thoroughly investigate the officials of the Ministry of Industry, as well as the county guards in the city.

"Take advantage of the storm tomorrow to sneak into the home of the county magistrate and search carefully."

"For example, if they are really greedy for this silver tael, there must be evidence in their family."

Chen Mu opened his mouth and commanded, and his subordinates heard the words and were about to turn around and leave.

Chen Mu suddenly heard a sound of harmony outside the inn, and the window was half-closed.

Chen Mu frowned, stood up and walked to the window, pushing the window open.

When Meng Qing heard this, she also walked over quickly.

When the probe looked out of the window, he saw a few reckless men talking to a few plainly dressed villagers.

The reckless men were aggressive, and when one of the villagers replied to something, the reckless man was furious, picked up the bamboo chair on the side of the road and smashed it in the direction of the villager.

Chen Mu glared at him and gave an order.

"Stop them for me."

Dare to beat people in the street.

When the guards heard this, they responded to the peace.

They leapt and landed on the long street.

At the same time, the bamboo chair was about to fall on the villagers.

The villager exclaimed, turned his head to protect the child beside him.

Just as he was about to take the blow with his shoulder, a crisp click sounded behind him.

The villager was stunned, and immediately turned his head to look in the direction behind him, and saw a young man surrounding the reckless men.

One of them blocked the bamboo chair of the reckless man with the weapon in his hand, and then raised his hand to strike in the direction of the reckless man.

The reckless man was caught off guard, and when he saw a few people suddenly appear, he was about to reprimand them and tell them not to meddle in their affairs, when he saw a few people calling in their direction without saying a word.

They looked at each other and sneered.

One of them scolded angrily, raised his foot and struck in the direction of the guards, who were palace guards and were quite skilled.

These reckless men couldn't be the opponents of those guards at all, and the guards sneered when they saw this, and knocked those reckless men to the ground with a few raised hands.

They didn't expect these young men to be so skilled.

The reckless men gritted their teeth and looked at each other, not intending to continue to trouble those villagers.

They jumped on the spot, ready to turn around and flee.

Chen Mu caught a glimpse of something falling from one of them as he struggled to get up, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

The reckless men were so fast that they disappeared at the end of the long street in the blink of an eye, and a few villagers walked up to a few guards and bowed down to thank them.

Seeing this, the guards shook their heads, and Chen Mu walked out of the inn, picked up the things on the ground, and looked at them carefully.

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows, this was actually a token.

Those reckless men actually have this token on their bodies, what is going on?

Chen Mu looked up at the villagers, who had also regained their minds at this time.

They looked at each other with trepidation, and were about to turn to leave, when they heard a voice behind them.

"Wait, I have something to ask."

Suddenly hearing this voice, the villagers were stunned, and when they looked behind them, they saw a young man in brocade clothes stopping them.

They didn't know Chen Mu's identity, but seeing that Chen Mu was dressed well, they still stopped and nodded cautiously.

They also saw that the guards who rescued them were Chen Mu's people.

"Do you recognize those reckless men?"

Seeing Chen Mu ask like this, the villagers looked at each other, and one of the old men sighed and nodded.

"Naturally, I know that those people are the ruffians of our village, and we dealt with them some time ago because of the fact that the fertile land was occupied by the government."

"I didn't expect them to find us again."

What does that mean?

Chen Mu frowned and motioned for the old man to talk in detail.

When the old man saw Chen Mu's appearance, he went through the fifteen and ten things about the conflict between himself and those reckless men.

The old man and the villagers around him were a family living in a village not far from the town.

Because Chen Mu ordered the construction of mountain roads, several fertile fields in the village were requisitioned.

The old man and his family also had their house land occupied, and the old man and his family received the silver from the government, and carefully counted it, but found that the silver was a little too little.

"I have relatives living in other villages, and it just so happens that my relative's good land has also been occupied, but they have more silver than we get."

"I didn't think something was right, so I went to the yamen."

"But the prefectural magistrate said that this is the only money that Jingzhong has allocated to us."
