Outside the main gate of the City Guard.

Hundreds of people flooded the street around the wide entrance.

I saw a man kneeling at the main entrance of the city guard with a strong rope, with a blue nose and swollen face, and a corpse lying next to him, the body was a woman, about twenty years old, who seemed to have just died.

On the periphery, there was a large area of mixed people, including middle-aged men in luxurious brocade robes surrounded by a group of courtyard warriors, and rugged men with a steel knife and a scar on their faces.

The few officers guarding the gate of the city guard were a little afraid at this time.

For them, if ordinary people came to make trouble, they would have kicked it a long time ago, and it was impossible to wait for the matter to get big and alarm the boss inside.

But this time the situation is completely different, the scarred face carrying a steel knife is famous in the local area, and he is the leader of the quicksand gang, almost everyone in the sycamore knows it, and can even stop children from crying at night.

The man in the brocade robe who was surrounded by him was Zheng Hong, the lord of the Zheng family on South Street, not to mention the Zheng family in the local area, the rampant domineering is still more than the quicksand gang, and robbing the people's daughters is a trivial matter, Zheng Hong's eldest son Zheng Yi once had a little friction with people in the restaurant, so he ordered the family to beat people to death on the street, and then left.

There was even a messenger from the City Health Division patrolling at that time, and after Zheng Yi beat someone to death in front of the officer, he directly asked the officer to 'wash the floor', and afterwards this incident was even more indispensable, without setting off any waves, which shows the arrogance of the Zheng family.

As an errand officer in the City Guard, the first thing is to polish your eyes and distinguish between those who can be provoked and those who cannot be provoked.

The officer guarding the gate wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

kept looking into the City Guard, and finally saw a group of people led by Chen Mu walking out of it, and hurriedly saluted Chen Mu respectfully: "Lord Chasi." ”

The leader of the quicksand gang, Zheng Hong, the Zheng family, this is not a character that their little errand can deal with at all.

Seeing Chen Mu walking out with a group of people, Zheng Hong smiled slightly, arched his hand at Chen Mu, and said: "It's better to see than to hear, Lord Chen is young and promising, when I was my age, I was still nostalgic for Flower Street every day, and I couldn't even manage an ordinary shop at home, but Lord Chen was already the master of a company." ”

These words sounded like a compliment, but they were very twisted in their ears, and Liu Song, Li Tie and others who listened to it all frowned secretly.

Chen Mu looked as usual, glanced at Zheng Hong, and then looked at the corpse in front of the door, and the person who was tied up and kneeling next to him, but under this look, he frowned slightly.

Because he knew the kneeling man.

"Little ...... Poor, Lord Chasi, you have to make decisions for me, they are all deliberately harming me......"

The person kneeling on the ground looked up at Chen Mu, and then said with a sad face.

The name that spit out half and swallowed back is 'Xiao Mu', and those who can use this word to call Chen Mu, except for Chen Mu's third aunt Chen Hong, naturally there is only one person left.

His second uncle, Chen Mao.

Chen Mao has never learned and has no skills, and the relationship with Chen Mu's father was very ordinary, and he was reprimanded by Chen Mu's father many times, so that when Chen Mu's father died, he never came to the door, and then I heard that Chen Mu suddenly rose to prominence, and suddenly developed, and wanted to come to the door to reconnect with this nephew, but he hesitated and failed to come to the door with a cheeky face.

Despite this, as Chen Mu's second uncle, the situation has still changed a lot, many gang figures who disdained him in the past began to take the initiative to greet him when they saw him, and some people even took the initiative to get acquainted.

Chen Mu actually heard a little about this, but firstly, Chen Mao did not take the initiative to do things outside in his name, and secondly, he had never heard that Chen Mao did anything evil in his name, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

See you again today even after many years.

After being reprimanded by Chen Mu's father, Chen Mao, who was indignant and threw his sleeves away, now has a blue nose and swollen face, and is tied up and kneeling on the ground, kneeling at the door of the city's guards.

As early as the moment he recognized Chen Mao's identity, Chen Mu's heart was as clear as a mirror, obviously someone was very dissatisfied with his coming to Wutong to take up his post, and he was given eye medicine on the first day, and it seemed that most of them had been prepared and planned for a long time.

Present.

Chen Mu also ignored Chen Mao's plea for mercy, turned his head to look at Shang Qinglai, and said, "Since there is a murder case, bring a cadre and others in, and Shang Chatou will personally interrogate you, so as to be fair and strict." ”

Shang Qinglai didn't know Chen Mao's identity, but he understood that someone had come to give Chen Mu eye medicine, so he stuck on Chen Mu's first day in office, wanting Chen Mu, the new messenger, to lose face directly.

“…… Be. ”

After a brief hesitation, he immediately responded.

No matter what the situation is now, whether the Zheng family and the quicksand gang are in trouble together, but in short, he has to stand on Chen Mu's side, not only Xu Feng's explanation before leaving, but more importantly, Chen Mu's current identity, no matter how ironclad he is, he is the top boss of the entire city health department.

But just as Shang Qing came forward to escort Chen Mao and the others into the City Guard, Zheng Hong spoke.

"Slow!"

The previous greeting to Chen Mu was directly ignored by Chen Mu, Zheng Hong's face also became a little colder, and at this time he said in a deep voice: "If there is a murder case, it will naturally be fair and strict, but I know that the main culprit in this case and Lord Chen seem to be relatives, if the case is tried in the City Health Division, I am afraid it will make people doubt Lord Chen's justice, I think it is better to interrogate on the spot, so as to be convincing." ”

As soon as this statement came out.

Suddenly, many people's faces changed slightly.

Shang Qinglai also twitched the corners of his mouth, and looked at Chen Mu with a little headache, not to mention that Zheng Hong's move was clearly to make trouble, and the fact that the main culprit was actually Chen Mu's relatives made him a little big all of a sudden.

In today's world, even if there is a murder, it is not a big deal, but if someone happens to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, and the person who is in trouble is still a powerful figure like the Zheng family, it will undoubtedly become a trouble.

"It's fine."

Chen Mu glanced at Zheng Hong lightly.

This look made Zheng Hong feel a chill down his spine inexplicably, but then he quickly calmed down, he knew that Chen Mu's background was nothing more than the subordinates trained by Xu Hongyu to take over Xu Feng's position, even if there may be some future in the future, it must be able to have a future, the Yu family's current situation is not very good, and today's events also have hints from the big people above.

What's more, he Zheng Hong is not an ordinary person, not only has distant relatives with the He family in the inner city, but also has people in the inner city, in terms of background, Xu Hongyu behind Chen Mu is nothing at all, in terms of power in his hands, Chen Mu is a trust messenger who has just arrived, and he is young, and the people of the City Health Division may not be able to control it easily, what ability can compete with him.

"Enlighten all the adults, Chen Mao is overbearing, extravagant, and forced my concubine after drinking, and afterwards he was even more ferocious, brutal and murderous, and I hope that you will enforce the law impartially and give me justice."

Someone stood up, knelt on the ground and spoke.

"Nonsense!"

Chen Mao almost jumped to his feet and argued: "My lord, they are in a group, I drank some wine that day, this woman deliberately seduced me, and afterwards planted the blame, saying that I ruined her reputation and wanted to sue the city guard, I quarreled with her, and ......I missed it for a while."

"Nonsense, it's clear that you got drunk and got into love, and the human and material evidence is there, and you still want to deny it!"

"It's clear that you and others deliberately designed ......"

There was a quick uproar in the field.

"Silence!"

Chen Mu's tone was flat, but there was an undoubted majesty, which made several people in the quarrel quickly quiet down.

Chen Mu glanced at the female corpse next to him, there was an obvious bruised handprint on the neck of the female corpse, and then looked at the so-called human evidence and other physical evidence, and shook his head slightly in his heart.

The events are not complicated.

A little scrutiny is basically clear.

It should be the Zheng family's deliberate design and wanted to make an adultery case, but when Chen Mao quarreled with the woman halfway, after being threatened, he was afraid to kill people, he didn't know that the Zheng family's people were ambushed aside, and he just wanted to kill people and then rely on his relationship to destroy the corpse and destroy the traces to suppress the matter.

However, as soon as the Zheng family's men and horses saw that the rape case had become a homicide case, they didn't do anything, so they watched the woman being strangled to death by Chen Mao, and then they came out and took Chen Mao down.

At this time, Chen Maocai reacted wrongly, but it was too late, and there was no room for struggle and discrimination, so he was escorted all the way.

A farce.

This is the evaluation in Chen Mu's heart.

The Dead Woman, the Murderous Chen Mao, and the Zheng Family...... It can be said that in this case, from the sufferer to the criminal to the dead, no one is completely innocent.

What's even more ridiculous is that the reason for everything is just to give him the new errand medicine on his first day in office.

Very good.

He received the surprise on his first day in office.

Chen Mu closed his eyes slightly, and after a while, he looked at Chen Mao, and said in a flat tone: "So, you really killed the person?" ”

Chen Mao was dumb all of a sudden, his eyes were flustered, and his tone of argument weakened, and he said hesitantly: "I...... I just lost my hand in a fit of rage...... And they deliberately calculated and wanted to frame me, and they were the ones who ......"

Chen Mu turned his head to look at Zheng Hong, and said lightly: "The law of the country is not merciful, people are doing it, the sky is watching, if you do evil things, no matter what the reason, you will have to pay the price, what do you think, shopkeeper Zheng?" ”

Zheng Hong, who was watching the play, only felt that this was a little harsh no matter how he heard it, and his brows suddenly furrowed, and when he was about to say something, he saw Chen Mu already waving his hand:

"The human and material evidence are all there, and they will be escorted to the prison of the General Director."

"Yes."

Shang Qinglai immediately responded and stepped forward.

Chen Mao's face stiffened, and he immediately struggled, opening his mouth to try to shout something, but before he could say anything, he was slashed in the back of the neck by Shang Qinglai with a hand knife, and the whole person suddenly went soft, and he couldn't say half a sentence anymore.

Several messengers immediately stepped forward to take Chen Mao away.

"The Zheng family, the quicksand gang, and the bandit gang over there...... But is there anything else? ”

Chen Mu no longer looked at Chen Mao, who was escorted away, and turned his eyes to the many people in the field, his tone was still as flat as Gujing Wubo, and he couldn't hear any emotion.

Many people looked at each other for a while.

Zheng Hong also frowned.

In fact, he knew that the relationship between Chen Mu and Chen Mao's uncle and nephew was not very good, and today's purpose was not to use Chen Mao to force Chen Mu to make concessions, but just to defeat Chen Mu's prestige.

However, this set of operations did not seem to have any effect, only saw that Chen Mu was not surprised from beginning to end, acted calmly, had an indifferent attitude, and even ordered and forbidden, and his subordinates were completely obedient on the first day, and Shang Qinglai was keen and resolute, and he immediately controlled Chen Mao, who finally tried to make a big noise, and contained the situation at once.

This farce not only did not damage Chen Mu's face, but invisibly established a bit of prestige.

He is only in his early twenties next year, and he was promoted to a messenger on the first day, but he can act so calmly and can't find the slightest fault, which is really strange and strange.
