Nancheng District.

Somewhere in a wide, tasteful and secluded courtyard.

This is He Mingxuan's mansion in Nancheng District, which is a duplex nested four-entry courtyard, and even has an independent back garden.

in one of the rooms.

In the center of the room was a round table, which was full of various dishes, and there were two figures sitting at the round table, one of whom was the deputy chief secretary He Mingxuan.

The other person is a middle-aged man, burly and strong, with big ears, who looks like an official eunuch, but in fact his name has made many people frightened - Zhuang Ge.

Black Cloud Thieves are in charge!

The black cloud thieves are rampant outside the city, and countless businessmen are terrified when they hear about it, mainly because although the number of this gang of bandits is not large, there are only more than 100 people, but three of them are all notorious, and each of them is a person who has entered the realm of Yijin.

The second of them, Zhuang Ge, was offered a reward of 3,000 taels of silver on the wanted warrant of the City Guard, which was far from being comparable to those small bandits who offered a reward of several hundred taels.

"Brother Zhuang did a beautiful job this time, I salute Brother Zhuang with a cup."

He Mingxuan smiled lightly and raised the wine cup in his hand.

Zhuang Ge grinned, picked up the wine glass and said: "It's just a business of our family, I killed some people and grabbed some goods, I don't deserve Xuan Shao's praise." ”

The Black Cloud Thief is actually not a force cultivated by the He family, it was actually he Zhuang Ge who stood up at the earliest, because he committed an incident in Yucheng back then, and he was on a wanted warrant, so he had no choice but to go out of the city and become a bandit.

Later, by chance, he got a Yijin pill and successfully entered the realm of Yijin, so the black cloud thief became bigger and bigger, and then it was noticed by the He family, and the He family did not send someone to exterminate the black cloud thief, but instead sent someone to collect the black cloud thief, and now the big boss is a figure cultivated by the He family.

Zhuang Ge knew very well that his power of the Black Cloud Thieves was nothing in front of the He family, although he was absorbed and controlled by the He family, and he was considered to have been seized of power, but it was not much power to control a hundred and ten bandits.

On the contrary, with the intervention of the He family, he Zhuang Ge can even return to Yucheng, occasionally go shopping in the flower street, and grab a few women to play, which is much better than the days when he squatted in the mountains all day long.

Therefore, the orders of the He family are naturally obeyed.

"It is a success to make the Yu family deflated, not to mention that you have done a good job, and you have also chosen the timing and position well this time, the Yu family knows that you did it, but there is no way, you can only suffer a dumb loss."

He Mingxuan smiled faintly and said: "You don't have to be polite with me, it's rare to go to the city, just have a good time these days, I have a lot of concubines in my backyard, call a few later, you can pick it up at will." ”

Zhuang Ge drank the wine down: "Good, good." ”

Seeing this, He Mingxuan called outside, and said in a casual tone: "Come on, go and bring a few girls over and accompany Brother Zhuang to drink." ”

"Yes."

Someone immediately answered the door.

He Mingxuan leisurely picked up the wine cup and touched another glass with Zhuang Ge.

Zhuang Ge is a character like this, although he can't see the light, but his strength is there, it is very convenient to use, and he is not greedy for money, only a little lustful, which is a good thing in He Mingxuan's opinion, it is nothing more than a woman, and it can make Zhuang Ge a character who is easy to do things for the He family willingly, even if he dies a few times every time, it is not a big deal.

After a while.

There was a knock on the door.

He Mingxuan called 'come in', but it was not the expected concubine who came in, but a waiter dressed in black, who hurriedly trotted to He Mingxuan's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

When He Mingxuan heard this, his face immediately darkened.

"Good, good......"

There was anger in his eyes.

The Yu family suffered a loss, and the revenge came immediately, and a batch of goods from the He family was directly robbed by the City Health Division, but what really made him angry was not this, because the value of that batch of goods could not be compared with the loss of the Yu family this time.

The key problem is that this incident not only happened in Nancheng District, but also in Hugou, and the messenger in Hugou is a member of his He family, and the entire Hugou can be said to be under the control of his He family.

But that's it.

I was robbed from under my nose!

Even, he, the vice president, didn't even know the slightest bit of news in advance!

"What provoked Xuan Shao to be like this."

Zhuang Ge turned his head to look at He Mingxuan.

He Mingxuan waved his hand, motioned for the attendant to step back, and then said in a cold tone: "The Wutongli City Health Division handled the case across the border and robbed a batch of goods arranged by me. ”

Zhuang Ge raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know much about the things in the city, but isn't Xuan Shao in front of the deputy general manager of this Nancheng District, how can he be placed by the sub-division below." ”

"Huh."

He Mingxuan sneered.

This still needs to be thought, it must be the news leaked, and Xiaohe knew, and then asked Chen Mu to intercept the goods in the middle of the night, the whole process is estimated to have only informed Chen Mu alone, and there was no movement at all on the side of the general director, and even in the sycamore, there was no news from the hands and eyeliner he had placed.

He could almost imagine that even if he went to the City Health Division tomorrow to question Xiaohe, or to ask Chen Mu to scold, he would be pushed back by the other party's sentence 'The cross-border case was handled by the General Department in advance'.

He, the vice president, is in the middle, which is almost equivalent to hanging in the air the whole time.

Of course.

The key to this matter is that Chen Mu is really capable of leveling the He family's elite swordsmen!

It seems that the last time Chen Mu killed Sha Xiangtian of the quicksand gang with a knife, it was not a conspiracy, it was indeed as the intelligence said, he was extremely talented, and he had developed a body of iron in just over two years.

"No wonder Xu Hongyu attaches so much importance to it, if this person really enters Yijin, it will indeed be quite tricky."

After He Mingxuan thought for a short time in his heart, killing intent finally appeared in his eyes.

This person can't stay!

Regardless of whether Chen Mu can get past the level of Yi Jin, he should have dealt with it earlier, otherwise, if he really crosses it, it will be more difficult to deal with than ordinary Yi Jin characters.

He had been worried before, and he didn't want to completely tear his face with Xu Hongyu, but this time, the He family and the Yu family come and go, and sooner or later they will have to fight a real fire, and the character of Chen Mu will be the first victim!

Come to think of it.

He Mingxuan turned his head to look at Zhuang Ge and said, "Brother Zhuang, there is something I need to ask you for." ”

Zhuang Ge said: "Xuan Shao's orders are." ”

He Mingxuan said slowly: "I need you to kill someone, the city guard in Wutong, Chen Mu, this person is said to have practiced two sword postures, and a copper and steel body that trains meat to the limit." ”

Zhuang Ge groaned: "Two sword postures, horizontal training body...... If it's an assassination, I can kill it with one shot, and if it's a head-to-head confrontation, as long as no one interferes, I should be able to solve it within twenty moves. ”

"That's it."

He Mingxuan said lightly: "This person has no background forces, and there is no retinue around him, as long as you don't do anything in the City Guards, there will be no one to help." ”

Zhuang Ge said in a deep voice: "Then it's no problem, when does Xuan Shao need to do it." ”

He Mingxuan's eyes were cold, and he looked out the window: "Tonight!" ”

"They just robbed the goods I arranged, they must still be proud, they won't be guarded, tonight is the most appropriate time, as long as he is not in the city guard, you can do it, since you dare to attack the goods of the He family, then more people will die tonight."

……

Wutong Lane City Guard.

The night watchman at the main entrance was yawning against the wall.

Suddenly hearing movement in the distance, he immediately woke up, and hurriedly looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw a carriage slowly approaching the city guard in the dark night, accompanied by a smell of blood.

The officer's face changed for a while, and when he was about to call out to the other people, he saw that the frame had come to the door, and the person walking in the front was covered in blood, which looked very terrifying.

"Mission-sama?!"

The goalkeeper was startled and finally reacted.

"Open the door."

Chen Mu waved his hand and motioned for the gatekeeper to open the door, and then instructed Shang Qinglai and the others to escort the carriage into the City Guard.

"There is no need to patrol tonight, call back all the people who patrol at night and guard them in the city guard."

Chen Mu gave an order.

The frame is basically taken back to the City Health Division, even if it is impossible for the He family to lead people to kill the City Health Division to intercept the goods, although the security of Yucheng City is chaotic, it has not yet reached the point where the City Health Division is useless.

After all, the City Guard Division itself belongs to the people under the rule of the city lord, and the Du Si in the outer city is the Xue family, not the He family, if the matter is too much and the Du Si is angry, the He family will also have to pay the price.

After all matters are settled.

Chen Mu went home, he had to go back and change his clothes first.

Because the place where I live is only one street away from the city guard, I basically came out of the back door of the city guard, walked through a street to the door of the house, and didn't bother to knock on the door, jumped directly into the courtyard, and walked all the way to the backyard.

Backyard.

In the hall, the stove was still lit, and Wang Ni and Ku'er Le'er, the three little girls, leaned on the small table next to the stove, all lying on their stomachs, looking like they had fallen asleep until late at night.

Chen Mu shook his head slightly, and didn't wake up the three little girls, he walked directly to the water tank in the backyard, took off his clothes, and then poured cold water from his head and rinsed it quickly.

However, the movement of the flushing still woke up Wang Ni, who was the lightest sleeper, rubbing her eyes and walking out of the room, although it was dark and rumbling, but she saw the figure on the other side of the water tank from a distance, and still called in a low voice:

"Brother Mu?"

"Let's go to bed with Ku'er Le'er, I'm going out tonight."

Chen Mu said to Wang Ni.

Although the frame is basically over when it enters the city guard, he still has to stay at the hall tonight.

"Hmm."

Wang Ni rubbed her sleepy eyes, but instead of calling for bitterness and fun, she ran into the house first, brought Chen Mu clean new clothes and towels, helped Chen Mu scrub them clean, and then changed Chen Mu's clothes.

Chen Mu gently reached out and touched Wang Ni's head, and then walked all the way to the front yard and went out again.

It was late at night.

Except for the lights of the city guard in the distance, everything else was pitch black, and there was no half a figure in sight, and at this time, basically even the gang forces that haunted at night were no longer active.

Chen Mu walked in the alleys, there was silence around him, and even the sound of a needle falling to the ground seemed to be clearly visible, and only the echo of footsteps stepping on the bluestone road came from his ears.

Step, step, step,

Chen Mu walked in the direction of the City Health Division, step by step through the streets and alleys.

Until he reached the end of the alley and turned out of the alley...... A flash of cold light appeared, it was the head of a silver spear, which suddenly broke through the air, and in the dim moonlight, it seemed like a streamer tearing through the night.

The entire quiet street seemed to be boiling in an instant, and the previous dead silence suddenly turned into a murderous force!

There will be a fourth watch, constantly here, but it will be later.
