"Sir."

The new little maid was fetching water, and when she saw Chen Mu walking into the inner courtyard, she timidly saluted Chen Mu.

"Brother Mu."

Wang Ni greeted her with a happy face.

There is a little maid in the family, and her status will naturally rise and become a big maid, if the house is big in the future, no matter how many people there are in the yard, it will rise step by step.

Although Wang Ni is only eleven years old now, she has gradually understood this, and she is basically the only one who can shout alone in this courtyard.

"Nill is getting taller again."

Chen Mu touched Wang Ni's head and smiled slightly.

Speaking of this year, Wang Ni has changed a lot, after eating well and dressing well, she slowly grows and gradually looks a little more delicate, but according to the current growth, she probably can't grow like Chen Yue.

Chen Yue, because of his martial arts practice, practiced the same Jinyu dermabrasion method, without damaging the skin, and with abundant qi and blood, although he is not yet sixteen years old, he has completely taken on the appearance of a big girl, and even if he can't grow Xu Hongyu's appearance in the future, he is almost the same as Xiaohe.

Now Chen Mu is also well-informed, but Xu Hongyu is still the most beautiful woman he has seen so far, on the one hand, he is the descendant of a big family, born with brocade clothes and jade food, and has practiced martial arts, and has both talent in martial arts, full of qi and blood, and active muscles and tendons, which can be said to be in all aspects.

Not the daughters of large families are necessarily good-looking, and not all the women who practice martial arts are handsome, but the best ones are basically from them.

Moving to a new home, Chen Mu's living habits have not changed much.

I still eat and practice until nightfall.

His skills and internal training methods are still in the stage of rapid development, since he got the system panel, he has never slacked off in practice, it can be said that he can have the current situation, and his efforts are inseparable, the system panel is just a small catalyst for these efforts to produce that little 'qualitative change'.

……

Following.

Chen Mu got up in the morning as usual, and after practicing the knife, he went to the City Health Division.

Liu Song and Li Tie waited in his hall early, and after saluting respectfully, they each reported on the situation they had inquired before, about the Zheng family and the quicksand gang.

Chen Mu listened for a while, said softly, and said, "This Zheng family really regards Wutongli as their family's back garden. ”

Normally, the mixed gang forces should be more evil, but listening to the reports of Liu Song and Li Tie, the various deeds of the Zheng family are far more than the quicksand gang, not to mention killing people on the street, robbing people's daughters, etc., occupying mansions and running rampant are almost commonplace.

The former messenger Xu Feng did not ignore this, but was powerless.

On the one hand, the Zheng family has a big business, even if it is to bring the three classes of Qicheng Weisi, it is difficult to deal with dozens of martial artists and hundreds of family members of the Zheng family, not to mention that the Zheng family is deeply rooted in Wutong and has a complex force, not only has a close relationship with the quicksand gang, but also has some connections with the Nan family.

The so-called people do not fight with the officials, that refers to the fart people who have no background power, like the Zheng family, who have complex forces and an inner city background, are not 'people' at all, and they are not afraid of the city guards, so they have no fear in the local area.

Even.

Among the news that Liu Song inquired, there were some other forbidden things.

For example, reselling medicinal herbs without permission, and secretly suspected of hiding crossbow arrows and armor, these two things are most likely not groundless.

The control of medicinal materials in the Daxuan Imperial Court is very strict, especially when it comes to the medicinal materials required for martial arts training, as well as the various materials on the monsters, which are often strictly forbidden to operate privately.

Like the various medicinal materials required for martial arts training produced by Yucheng, the part involving monsters is basically handed over to the Metropolitan Protector outside the city by those hunters and herb pickers, and then delivered by the Metropolitan Protector to the Inner City Medicine Workshop Division, and then circulated throughout the process.

Arguably.

In the past, when the Daxuan Imperial Court was at its peak, the civil armed forces were very scarce, after all, the required resources were basically controlled by the imperial court.

But now it is different, although the medicinal material business nominally involves martial arts training, it is still forbidden by the imperial court to operate privately, but that is only in name, the current medicinal material business in Yucheng is actually controlled by the Xie family in the inner city.

Because the commander of Yucheng who is in charge of all military affairs, and his status is second only to that of the city lord, he is the head of the Xie family's generation, including the Inner City Medicine Workshop Division, which is basically the power of the Xie family.

But......

The medicinal herb business involves too much, not to mention that many resources involve the root of martial artists, and the Xie family can't actually control it completely, just like the city lord controls the most critical part of the 'Yi Jin Pill'.

The other families also have their own channels to obtain some medicinal materials directly from outside the city.

As for the hidden crossbows and armor...... Needless to say, this kind of imperial court ban basically exists in name only, in fact, many orders of the imperial court can no longer be transmitted to the Yucheng level, and naturally no one cares about this kind of thing.

"Go and call Shang Qinglai and Zhang Chenglai."

Chen Mu thought about it and ordered Liu Song.

Although the Zheng family is huge, the former messenger of the Wutongli City Health Division is Xu Feng after all, and he can't deal with the Zheng family, but the inside of the City Health Division is still clean and tidy, at least seven of them are basically Xu Feng's own people.

Of course, now that Xu Feng has stepped down, there may be some people who have been bought by other forces, but Chen Mu doesn't care, and he is not interested in playing this kind of game with several forces.

Soon.

Shang Qinglai and Zhang Tong came to the hall.

"In the future, when the city guards are handed over in the morning and dusk, the three shifts will practice for an hour according to the routine, and it will start today."

Chen Mu gave an unusually simple order.

The City Guard Division is in charge of hundreds of errands, and it is very common to practice every day, but in fact, whether it is the City Guard Division of Jiutiaoli or the Wutong Lane, there are very few routine exercises, and there is often not once a month.

To put it bluntly, training people and horses need money, up to the errand division down to the errand, for example, some money can be deducted, where to give more money to the following errand soldiers, after all, even if you train hundreds of good hands, it is not your own private soldier.

If you have that money, you might as well keep it yourself.

"Yes."

Shang Qinglai and Zhang Tong bowed their heads in response, and then glanced at each other.

Although I was a little surprised in my heart, I didn't feel strange about Chen Mu's order, as the saying goes, the new official has three fires when he takes office, as the new secretary, if there is no movement at all after taking office, it will be very strange.

This kind of thing is to practice errand service, and it is normal to practice vigorously for a few months at the beginning, and it is normal to put on a posture.

"Go ahead."

Chen Mu waved his hand and sent the two down.
