Chapter 91: Intelligence
Xu Hongyu's status in the four generations of the Yu family is very high, and she is a strong person who has entered the realm of Yijin and can take charge of herself, Yu Yun knows that it is okay for her and Yu Ru to make trouble, but she can't interfere with Xu Hongyu's affairs, otherwise she will be reprimanded at the least, and she may be punished for thinking about it.
Therefore, after recognizing Chen Mu, Yu Yun left without much entanglement.
After all, this is Nancheng, and it won't be a good thing if you make trouble with Xu Hongyu.
On the one hand, Yu Ru's father and Xu Hongyu's mother are brother and sister, Yu Ru and Xu Hongyu are almost like sisters, and 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, so Xu Hongyu has taken great care of Yu Ru since she was a child...... Of course, most of Yu Yun's various displeasures with Yu Ru also come from this, when she was a child and Yu Ru, no matter which side of the adult always favored Yu Ru.
Of course.
The Yu family doesn't care about these things, it's normal for the relationship between the younger generations to be good or bad, and Yu Yun and Yu Ru can also promote the competitive atmosphere in the martial arts academy.
Chen Mu doesn't know much about the Yu family, and the only people he is familiar with at present are Xu Hongyu, Xiaohe, and Yu Ru, Yu Yun is still the first time to meet, and after listening to some of Chen Yue's statements, he knows a little more.
So I didn't care even more.
Of course.
If he was the elder of the Yu family, he would probably still discipline a little girl like Yu Yun harshly, although Yu Ru's temperament was a little too weak, but Yu Yun was a little too proud at a young age.
However, Chen Yue's previous reaction made him quite impressed, in the face of Yu Yun and a few small followers, he did not fall behind in momentum at all, if Yu Ru's temperament, practicing martial arts can only be to strengthen the body, then Chen Yue's words, if he can practice to a certain point in the future, he is indeed capable of taking charge alone.
After getting along for a short time, and taking Chen Yue's changes and Yu Ru's situation into his eyes, Chen Mu quickly changed the topic, chatted casually, and then made Yu Ru burst into tears and laughed, leaving the sadness just now behind.
Take the two little girls all the way to play.
Yu Ru and Chen Yue are both wearing delicate dresses, although they are still very immature, they already have a kind of young and hazy girlish beauty, and when they show their faces and smile, they add a bit of girlish touching, and they also attract a lot of attention along the way.
Among them, there were also ill intentions, but when they noticed Chen Mu who was leading Yu Ru and Chen Yue, many eyes quickly converged, and some who did not converge quietly followed for a while soon disappeared silently.
Although Chen Mu is not wearing an official uniform, ordinary people may not recognize him, but all kinds of gang bastards do the business of recognizing people on weekdays, and there are few people who do not know the dignified Wutong Division.
A messenger,
That's undoubtedly a character not to be messed with.
Chen Mu also noticed some secretly cast eyes, but he didn't care, now he is no longer Wuxia Ameng, in the early years, if he wanted to take Chen Yue out to play, he had to smear her little face dirty and pretend to be ugly, and now he walks in the streets and alleys openly, and he is still calm.
After turning a big circle in the main street, several people came all the way to the back of the main street, and after walking forward for a while, a row of towering bluestone courtyard walls appeared in front of them, the atmosphere was solemn, and a four-story high-rise building could be seen in the courtyard wall.
"This should be the city guard department of Nancheng District?"
Chen Yue looked up at the long, open area in front of him.
"Hmm."
Chen Mu nodded slightly and said, "Speaking of Xu Hong...... Well, Mr. Xu may be back, do you want Xiaoru to go in and have 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 demons, it seems that she will come back during this time." ”
"Let's go."
Chen Mu took Chen Yue and Yu Ru to the General Department of City Guard.
He hadn't seen Xu Hongyu for a long time, but he heard from Xiaohe that he would come back in the next two days, and if he came back, he would also explain some recent things to Xu Hongyu and make a simple debriefing.
Soon.
Several people went all the way to the City Guard Division and came to the fourth floor.
"It's Sister Xiaoru, why did you get here?"
Xiaohe was browsing a document in the hall on the fourth floor, and when she saw Chen Mu, Chen Yue, and Yu Ru coming up, she didn't show any surprise, and looked at Yu Ru with a smile.
If it is an ordinary maid maid, she has to be called Miss in front of Yu Ru, but Xiaohe is different, not only Xu Hongyu's personal maid who has been together since childhood, but also a character who has entered the realm of Yijin, when Xu Hongyu is not there, she can take charge of the city guard department on behalf of Xu Hongyu, and when Xu Hongyu is promoted in the future, she is even qualified to take over the post of chief secretary.
In fact, the relationship between Xiaohe and Yu Ru is also very good.
"Sister He."
Yu Ru said hello to Xiaohe obediently, and then said, "I want to come and see Sister Hongyu." ”
Xiaohe stretched out his hand and touched Yu Ru's head, and said, "Miss has encountered something, and I can't go back to the city for the past few days, and when Miss comes back, I will definitely go to the inner city to see Sister Xiaoru." ”
Speaking of which.
She looked at Chen Mu and glanced at Chen Mu.
Chen Mu understood, patted Chen Yue's shoulder, and then followed Xiaohe into the side room of the hall.
"Something's wrong."
Chen Mu walked into the side hall and asked Xiaohe.
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 Division', responsible for the salt transportation business of the entire Yucheng, yesterday a batch of salt goods were robbed outside the city, Miss was going to come back, after this happened, she turned around halfway to investigate, according to some clues, it is likely to be the hand of the 'Black Cloud Thief'." ”
"Black Cloud Thief ......"
Chen Mu showed a contemplative expression.
He has also heard of this name, it is said that it is a group of bandits entrenched in the mountains north of Yucheng, very vicious, often do looting, Yucheng has also sent troops to suppress bandits many times, but they all came to naught.
Several of its masters were rewarded heavily on the wanted warrants of the City Health Division, among which the reward of the big boss reached 5,000 taels of silver, and the second boss also had 3,000 taels!
"In fact, this black cloud thief has always had some unclear connection with the He family."
Xiaohe said again.
This sentence made Chen Mu nod slightly, after all, if it was just a group of ordinary bandits, it would be impossible to be entrenched outside Yucheng for many years and not be able to solve it, and even Yucheng would not be able to send troops to encircle and suppress it.
If it has something to do with the forces in the inner city, or if it is simply the outer forces used by the He family to do something shady, then it is understandable, after all, who dares to kill Master Huang's horse?
Chen Mu thought for a while and asked, "So the Yu family plans to transfer troops to quell the Black Cloud Thieves?" ”
"Nope."
Xiaohe shook his head: "It's not worth fighting for a group of bandits, not to mention that even if you really deploy troops, it will be difficult for the black cloud thieves to report the news if they don't leave their hands, and it's just a waste of effort to catch two scattered." ”
Speaking of this, Xiaohe looked at Chen Mu and said in a low voice: "I have a piece of information here, the He family has a batch of prohibited goods to be delivered in the past two days, and there is a high probability that they will bypass your Wutong and go over to the 'Hugou Li', and the possible route is ...... You take someone to see if you can take down this batch of goods, I can't send troops to help, the eyes and ears of the He family are everywhere, and you have to act strictly, beware of the eyes of the He family in the city guard. ”
"yes, I see."
Chen Mu nodded calmly.
This should be the fighting method between the He family and the Yu family, the He family hacked a batch of goods of the Yu family by the hands of the black cloud thief, and the counterattack of the Yu family came immediately, and they also had to dispose of a batch of goods of the He family to fight back.
Xiaohe looked at Chen Mu, suddenly got closer, and whispered: "Be careful, if you can't do anything, give up first." ”
Chen Mu sniffed a faint fragrance from his nose, looked at her sideways, and said, "Is this the instructions from above, or is it ...... What do you want to tell me yourself? ”
Xiaohe's cheeks were slightly red, she took a step back, pursed her lips and chuckled: "She is just a little maid, and she doesn't dare to be teased by Lord Chen without the consent of Miss......
Chen Mu watched Xiaohe walk out of the side hall, his eyes swept over the still clean side room, and he could vaguely recall that Xu Hongyu was wearing the tight white flying fish suit, exquisite, standing at the window overlooking the figure of Nancheng.
Well.
It's just that it's too cold.
……
Leaving the side room, Xiaohe and Yu Ru talked a few more words, and then sent the group out of the general office.
Chen Mu saw that it was not early, so he sent Chen Yue and Yu Ru all the way back to the inner city, and when he parted, Chen Yue looked at Chen Mu reluctantly, and wanted to pounce on him and hug him like he did in the past, but he was a little embarrassed, and finally only waved his hand.
Yu Ru didn't dare to look at Chen Mu a little, lowered her head and said goodbye to Chen Mu, and followed Chen Yue all the way into the inner city.
Chen Mu watched Chen Yue and Yu Ru leave with gentle eyes.
When the figures of the two disappeared from sight, he slowly turned around, his gaze became cold again, and soon returned all the way back to the City Guard Division and gave an order.
Not much.
The seven leaders of the city guard department gathered one after another.
"In the next few nights, there will be action, no need to mobilize the following errands, no need to ask more, listen to my instructions."
Chen Mu looked at Shang Qinglai and the others, and spoke in a flat tone.
"Yes."
Shang Qinglai and others responded.
Then they looked at each other, but they didn't know what to do, but since they wanted the seven of them to follow together, it must be a more important event.
Chen Mu's majesty in the City Health Division is growing day by day, the order is forbidden, and when an order is issued, Shang Qinglai and the others don't even dare to ask more about the specific content, so they only obey each other.
"Okay, now let's go back and change into civilian clothes, and meet at the fork in time."
Chen Mu commanded, and then waved his hand.
Shang Qinglai and others responded and retired.
walked all the way out of the hall, and someone whispered: "Traveling in casual clothes, I don't know what is going on......
Shang Qinglai said in a low voice: "Don't ask, since the adults don't say it, they have their own reasons." ”
Several people nodded one after another, left the city guard, and left separately.
But.
One of them was far away from the city guard, but there was a glint in his eyes, and after quickly walking into the street in front of him, he turned his footsteps, changed directions, and walked towards a remote neighborhood.
A moment later, Zhang Tong came to the end of a remote alley, came to a dilapidated tile house, reached out and knocked on the door, and then said in a deep voice to the door: "The City Guard Division has a move tonight. ”
"Got it."
Someone inside the door whispered in response.
Zhang Tong nodded, then glanced around a little nervously, and then quickly turned to leave.
In fact, he didn't want to report for others and leak the internal actions of the City Guard, but...... They give too much, as long as they work quietly for a year or two, they can get money that they can't earn in ten years on weekdays.
However.
Just as Zhang Tong quietly slipped back to the mouth of the alley and walked out in one step, the whole person suddenly froze in place.
I saw that on the side of the alley, Chen Mu was standing there quietly, just looking at him.
