Castle Lord's Mansion.

Yu County belongs to one of the seven counties of Yuzhou, and the lord of Yucheng is also the county guard of Yu County, which belongs to the official of the five grades of the imperial court.

As for the same now, the Xue family is the most powerful family in Yucheng, both in terms of foundation and as a whole, it surpasses any of the other three families, and if the forces of the four families in the inner city are ranked by size, the Xue family is the undisputed first, followed by the Xie family, and then the He family and the Yu family, and there is no need to talk about other small families.

Now.

The Great Xuan Imperial Court declined, the government decree was difficult to reach the place, and the annual tax and silver and various tributes of Yu County were no longer sent to the Great Xuan Imperial Court, but the Seven Xuanzong who ruled Yuzhou, nominally Yuzhou was the next state under the rule of Daxuan, but in fact it had long been divided.

City lord Xue Huaikong, his person is the existing second generation of the Xue family, and there are older first-generation characters above, but if you want to talk about strength, Xue Huaikong is now in his heyday, and he has entered the existence of the five internal organs, compared to the old family master of the previous generation of the Xue family, who has aged, his strength is three points stronger, which is also a point that the Xue family is stronger than the other three.

After all, there is more than one existence in the Five Visceral Realm, and Xue Huaikong is only over fifty years old, and he is still in his heyday, unlike the other three, the old master of the Yu family has already reached his twilight years, and the other two are slightly better, but they are also old age, it can only be said that after entering the Five Visceral Realm, the qi and blood will turn into Yuangang, the life span will be longer, and the strength can be maintained longer, and at the age of seventy or eighty, he can still exert a power far stronger than the Bone Forging Realm.

In comparison, there is no such ability in the Bone Forging Realm, and at the peak of the peak period, it is at most around fifty years old, and after sixty, the qi and blood will begin to decline, and after seventy, all aspects will decline significantly, and they will no longer be able to do so.

In the center of the solemn city lord's mansion, the main hall is made of purple locust wood.

City Lord Xue Huaikong was sitting on a Taishi chair, his appearance was clean, his sword eyebrows were starry, his beard was light and short, and he seemed to be only thirty or forty years old, and he was holding a green jade glazed tea cup in his hand at this time, revealing a thoughtful look.

"Thunder Conception? It's kind of interesting. ”

Standing in front of him respectfully was Yan Guang, the capital of the outer city, who was reporting some things one by one.

Xue Huaikong held the green jade teacup in one hand, and gently stirred the tea twice with the jade-colored lid in the other, and looked up at the ceiling: "Xie family? Not quite like it, Yu Jia...... Not quite like that. ”

He didn't know anything about He Mingxuan's death, the only thing he knew for sure was that it was definitely not the Xue family's hand, as for whether it was the Xie family or the Yu family, or the He family's madness? Then it is agnostic.

I don't think any of them are quite alike, but I think they are all possible.

Even.

Xue Huaikong thought more.

He not only thought of the Xie family, the Yu family and even the He family's self-directed and self-acting, but also thought of the possibility of coming from outside Yu County, after all, his Xue family also has opponents outside, and some people hope that Yucheng will be in chaos, if they can provoke the dispute between the He family and the Yu family, then it is possible to take chestnuts from the fire and make a piece of the pie in Yucheng.

"Lord of the city, Xu Hongyu was derelict in his duties, and the public order in Nancheng District, which was under his control, caused the deputy chief secretary to be attacked and killed by gangsters at night, and I hope to remove Xu Hongyu from the post of chief secretary of Nancheng District......"

Yan Guang reported in a low voice.

Xue Huaikong came back to his senses, took a sip of tea, and said, "Well, it's reasonable to participate in the lawsuit." ”

He put down the teacup and said flatly: "The He family is dead, it is normal to use the topic to play, this matter does not need to be biased towards any family, you can deal with it in the middle, you can hand over the position of the chief secretary of Nancheng District to the He family, but the deputy chief secretary will be taken over by the Yu family." ”

The He family died He Mingxuan, and now he is not clear about the situation for the time being, so he doesn't want to be involved, or wait and see how it becomes the master, but he can't let the He family attack, or control it within a certain range, like the chief and deputy chief of Nancheng District, it can't all be handed over to the He family to manage, if the He family must move Xu Hongyu, then a position of deputy general secretary must be set aside.

"Understood."

Yan Guang responded.

Xue Huaikong's reaction and disposition were not beyond his expectations, in fact, he just wondered if this matter would be related to the Xue family, and whether Xue Huaikong was involved, but looking at Xue Huaikong's reaction, he should not know.

That's what the Xie family or the Yu family is for.

After Yan Guang pondered for a short time, he said: "Speaking of which, it seems that He Mingxuan instructed Zhuang Ge, the second leader of the Black Cloud Thief, to make a move last night, and his person is suspected of attacking and killing Chen Mu, the commander of Wutongli, but he was robbed halfway and died in the streets and alleys of Wutongli, and his body was fragmented and almost unrecognizable. ”

"Zhuang Ge?"

Xue Huaikong said casually: "A bandit, if he dies, he will die, and there is nothing, what is the difference with that Chen Mu you are talking about, which caused He Mingxuan to attack him?" ”

Yan Guang thought for a while, and said: "Last night, Chen Mu led people to intercept a batch of prohibited goods from the He family across the border, he seems to be talented, he is now twenty-five years old, and he has practiced a body of extreme copper skin and muddy flesh in just a few years, and has two knife strengths, it is a talent that Xu Hongyu excavated from the bottom, and the background is very clean, I have thought about whether to recruit this person to work for the Xue family......

"Extreme skin grinding and meat training? There are also two potentials, that is indeed okay, but since Xu Hongyu pulled it out with one hand, there is no need to intervene horizontally, and there is no need to worry about this matter. ”

Xue Huaikong said lightly.

Listening to what Yan Guang said, although he has some talent, it is nothing for the Xue family, after all, the Xue family rules a county, has many talents, and is also responsible for introducing various genius disciples to the Seven Xuanzong, and the geniuses he has seen are unknown.

For example, the requirements of the Seven Xuanzong for true disciples are to comprehend the potential before the age of sixteen and comprehend the artistic conception before the age of twenty-four!

There are also those who were born with copper skin and iron bones, infinite strength, and the body of King Kong!

And such a Tianjiao character, the land of the seven counties of Yuzhou, will be born every year, compared to this kind of truly talented and natural existence, although Chen Mu sounds good, but it still can't be compared, and he can't enter the eyes of the Seven Xuanzong.

Of course, the Xue family is not as high-minded as the Seven Xuanzong, and talents like Chen Mu are also worth recruiting, but if they compete with the Yu family, it is not necessary, and the Yu family must attach much more importance to Chen Mu.

After all, the Yu family has not been able to receive talents in recent years, and the talents in their own county have basically been intercepted by the Qixuanzong and the Xue family, and they are also subjected to targets from the He family, and talents like this are already relatively scarce.

"Yes."

"Then the subordinate will retire first."

Yan Guang responded, then bowed and withdrew.

Xue Huaikong looked at the green jade glass teacup on the table:

"Yu Jia...... It's a pity. ”

In fact, the Yu family has not been without talents over the years, Xu Hongyu's father, Xu Yichuan, has the best talent in the first generation, and he is a genius who has been missed, even if he goes to the Seven Xuanzong, he has the ability to worship the inner door.

If he hadn't disappeared for no reason, most of them would have entered the realm of the five internal organs and become a figure comparable to him.

The Yu family now also has some disciples under the Seven Xuanzong Sect, but they are all outer disciples, and only one person has entered the inner gate, and he only barely entered, and that person is not as good as Xu Yichuan back then.

Look at it now.

It is difficult for the Yu family to have such a character.

……

Wutong Lane City Guard.

In the main hall, Chen Mu sat quietly on a chair, flipping through the basic notes and account books on the table.

After attacking He Mingxuan, he returned to the City Guard Division as soon as possible, and waited with Shang Qinglai and other errand soldiers, guarding the frame all night, and no one has come to the door so far.

Obviously, compared to this batch of goods, He Mingxuan's death caused a greater movement, and it has attracted all the attention to that side, as far as he knows, the main area of Nancheng District, around the mansion where He Mingxuan lives, has been overturned by the He family's people.

For the time being, there are no people from the He family coming over in Wutong.

But early this morning, there was an order from the inner city from the outer city capital, which directly crossed the Nancheng District City Health Department and issued it, requiring the entire Wutongli City Health Division to be on call at any time.

Chen Mu just didn't have to go home, he ate casually at the City Health Division earlier, and when he had nothing to do, he looked through all kinds of notes and some miscellaneous books in the City Health Division, anyway, the uproar outside had nothing to do with him.

The He family wants to catch a villain who has mastered the artistic conception of thunder and is easy to complete, what does it have to do with his little errand.

But.

Sooner or later, this will still affect his side.

If the He family can't find anyone, there is a high probability that they will be angry with others, and he intercepted a batch of goods from the He family last night, and the goods are still in the courtyard behind the city guard hall.

The investigation of the He family was even slower than Chen Mu expected, or maybe there was some pressure on the general department, and he could not take this opportunity to act recklessly, until the third pole of the day, after noon, someone finally came to the Wutongli City Health Division.

"Lord Chasi, someone from the inner city has arrived."

Shang Qinglai walked into Chen Mu's hall and reported in a low voice, and at the same time secretly bitter in his heart.

It is naturally impossible to hide such a big movement in Nancheng District for a long time, and at this time, they already know what happened, He Mingxuan, the deputy general secretary of the City Health Department, was attacked and killed by villains last night and died in his own yard!

It's just a stabbing of the sky!

Who is He Mingxuan? That's not just the vice president, but also the descendants of the He family in the inner city!

The He family died a descendant, so it didn't turn Nancheng District upside down, the key is that they did something last night and intercepted a batch of He family's goods...... If there was no matter of He Mingxuan's death, most of the intercepted goods would be nothing, but now that the incident is serious, they are afraid that they will be directly involved in the whirlpool of the battle between the He family and the Yu family!

The city gate caught fire, affecting the fish in the pond.

How can they withstand the anger of the He family.

"yes, got it."

Chen Mu listened to Shang Qinglai's report, and put down the book in his hand calmly.

Shang Qing looked at Chen Mu's appearance, and couldn't help but say with a bitter face: "My lord, don't you know yet...... Master He of the General Division died last night, in his own courtyard, and the matter is going to be big. ”

Chen Mu glanced at Shang Qinglai and said lightly: "What are you panicking about, I waited for this night to act on orders, the frame of the He family is loaded with prohibited goods, what does it have to do with other things?" ”

The voice fell.

A large number of footsteps came, and soon a team of people wearing inner city guard uniforms rushed in, the first person was wearing armor and carrying a red tasseled short gun in his hand, and sneered: "Chen Chasi is calm, but Chen Chasi said that he was ordered to conduct a cross-border arrest last night, I want to know whose order?" ”

Before Chen Mu could speak, a soldier next to him said coldly: "This is Deputy Dusi Zhang of the Inner City City Guard!" See you yet! ”

"See Lord Vice-Commander."

Seeing this, Shang Qinglai and the group of errands who ran in after him broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

The city health department is divided into two divisions, the outer city has four general divisions in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and the inner city has only one general division, but there are also four general divisions, as well as two deputy divisions and one metropolitan division.

The deputy capital secretary of the Inner City City Health Division, this is the official title of Zheng Qipin, although it is not the deputy capital division of the outer city, it is not directly under the jurisdiction of the outer city, and it is not Xu Hongyu's top boss, but it is still a level higher than Xu Hongyu, and for Shang Qinglai and other poor people, it is already a big person.

And the inner city guards also do not have ordinary soldiers, each of these armor soldiers is an elite sergeant who has undergone orthodox training, far from being comparable to ordinary soldiers, although the overall number is far less than that of the outer city guards, but in terms of strength, it is far stronger than the outer city.
