Between the deep walls of silence.

Chen Mu walked forward with a calm expression, this place was not far from the Supervision Division, and entered the scope of the Yucheng County Government.

"Those two gas engines just now......

In the depths of his calm eyes, there was a faint glimmer of light.

Although when Shi Cai passed through the outer alley, the two unusual qi machines that suddenly appeared were both flashing, but because of the close enough distance and his 'Autumn Wind Jue's perception ability of qi machines, he could still detect a trace of it.

The qi that appeared first was thick and heavy, it should be a vein of Genshan, and the next one, moist and smart, probably a vein of Kanshui, then the identity of the person can probably be guessed one or two.

The one from the Ho family.

and the one from the Yu family.

"The He family really dares to do it, knowing that I am summoned by the Supervision Envoy, and still want to attack me so close to the county government, once I don't die with one blow, it will inevitably leave traces, and I won't be pleased afterwards."

A trace of coldness floated in Chen Mu's heart.

This place is very close to the county government, and the strength he shows on his face is not a soft persimmon that he can handle casually, even if it is a shot from the Five Visceral Realm, he can't do it quietly, and he must show Yuan Gang's qi machine to have a chance to win it with one blow.

But even so, it may not be possible to take his body away and dispose of all traces, let alone make a bigger disturbance if he doesn't die in one blow...... The supervision envoy Yan Jingqing can be in the secretary of the supervision department!

I don't think it will take you a breath to get here!

Chen Mu estimated that the one from the He family might be half a temptation, half a dog jumping off the wall, if there was a real chance, he would definitely not hesitate to attack him, and after noticing that Yu Jiujiang was secretly following, he immediately retreated, without dragging his feet.

In fact, Chen Mu didn't perceive Yu Jiujiang's existence along the way, but he roughly guessed, and the reason was very simple, the summoning order of the supervision envoy conveyed from Yu Zuyi, knowing that the current He family was probably eager to get rid of him, and no one from the Yu family followed him, which was not logical.

So.

Either this part of the journey is absolutely safe, and no one dares to disobey the will of the inspector, or there is a far more secure existence than ordinary people to follow, and there is naturally only that one in the Yu family, Xu Hongyu's grandfather, Yu Jiujiang.

Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Yu Jiujiang yet.

"Actually, if you don't have to worry about it, I would like to try the means of the characters of the Five Visceral Realm......"

Chen Mu shook his head slightly.

He Wuwu retreated because of Yu Jiujiang and did not make a move, which is actually a fortunate thing for the He family, because with his current means of shaking the second step of thunder, it is absolutely impossible for He Wuwu to kill him with a single blow, and he only needs to fight two or three moves, and the huge movement will inevitably alarm Yan Jingqing, and when the other party arrives, the He family will be unlucky.

But right now, it's okay, he can continue to hide some of his strength, and fight against the characters of the Five Visceral Realm, no matter how he says, there is still danger, after all, he has never been in contact with a person of this level before, and it is best not to be in danger.

Soon.

After passing through the towering bluestone wall, Chen Mu had already entered the county mansion, and after walking all the way around the city lord's mansion, he came to the newly erected, six-story pavilion located behind the city lord's mansion, the Supervision Division.

In the past, the City Lord's Mansion was the tallest mansion in the county government, although it was only three floors, but each floor was extremely tall, higher than the four or five storey pavilions outside, and now the newly established Supervision Division Building is even higher than the City Lord's Mansion.

It is said that it is a pavilion, but in fact it is too high, it is more like a tower, but this tower is only a part of the Supervision Division, and a large area and courtyard behind it also belong to the Supervision Division.

"Lord Chen."

At the bottom of the building of the Supervision Division, there was an envoy who was guarding there, and when he saw Chen Mu coming, he bowed slightly to Chen Mu and said in a proper manner: "The Supervision Envoy is on the top floor, you can just go up." ”

"I'm tired."

Chen Mu bowed his hand to the envoy, turned into the Supervision Department, and stepped upstairs.

until you reach the top floor of the sixth floor.

There was a waiting envoy who led Chen Mu to the main hall.

This square hall is not very spacious, nor can it be called elegant, but it looks very simple, only a hall table, and two rows of bookshelves, behind the table sits a person, dressed in simple white clothes, the appearance looks very young, it seems that he is only about thirty years old, the appearance of a scholar, the temperament is elegant, and he is holding a book in his hand to study carefully.

If you put it outside, it is difficult to see that this is the inspector from the state capital, the fourth rank of the imperial court.

Yan Jingqing looked at the book quietly, as if he was engrossed, and did not notice Chen Mu's arrival, and Chen Mu did not make any other moves, let alone make a noise, just stood quietly in front and waited.

After a while.

Yan Jingqing suddenly showed a faint smile on his face, as if he saw something happy, he picked up the tea cup next to him with his left hand and took a sip, nodded slowly, and then put down the scroll in his hand.

Then he looked up at Chen Mu, took a closer look, and suddenly said:

"How can a gentleman cultivate himself?"

Chen Mu was slightly stunned, but then responded: "A gentleman's trip, quiet self-cultivation, thrift to cultivate virtue, non-indifferent without clear ambition, non-quiet without far-reaching." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Yan Jingqing's eyes, but he continued to ask, "How do you govern the country?" ”

Chen Mu thought quickly in his heart, and quickly responded: "The Tao is based on government, all are punished, the people are free and shameless, the Tao is moral, all are courteous, shameful and qualified, those who govern the people should not be in vain, and should explore the roots." ”

This time, Yan Jingqing stopped talking, revealing a look of contemplation.

After a while.

He sighed and said, "In the troubled times, how can we talk about governing ......the country?"

The name 'white-clothed scholar' in the rivers and lakes is not that he pretends to be like this, but that he is originally interested in the prosperous world, famous for his politics and Taoism, and it is his long-cherished wish to govern the country and the people, and it is not his pursuit to fight by force.

Then he looked at Chen Mu again, and the surprise in his eyes became even more intense.

When he was reading the book, he just asked casually, but he didn't expect Chen Mu to answer them one by one, and every sentence has ideas and knowledge and deeds, not casually answered, although he usually feels it from time to time, but he has never summarized it like this.

"Who is your division commander?"

Yan Jingqing asked after a short silence.

Chen Mu shook his head and said, "I don't have a teacher, I just read more books on weekdays." ”

"Hmmm......"

Yan Jingqing nodded slightly, he also remembered at this time that in the information about Chen Mu, he was born in a low-level errand and had never studied grammar, so he could only get those words from books, and it was not one or two.

Looking at Chen Mu, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

As a dignified supervisor, there are so many people around him who are fond of him, in order to cling to him, he has seen too many people who pretend to read and study in a posture, but Chen Mu in front of him cannot be deliberately clinging.

After all, he came to Yujun, it is only a recent thing, Chen Mu can have those classified and summarized views, and it is not something that can be answered by casually memorizing some grammar books, there must be some thoughts, and he remembers that in Chen Mu's resume, he also served as a 'bad secretary', which is not very high, but it happens to be the lowest 'governing the people'.

"If it is a prosperous time, you and I may be officials in the court, but in today's troubled times, if you want to show your ambitions, you can't get it, and the way of heaven is so thin for me." Yan Jingqing sighed.

Chen Mu didn't respond to this.

Even secretly slandered in his heart, the dignified Yuzhou Supervision Envoy, the four-grade master, and the existence of the top six intestine realms, that is the status that many people dare not dream of, but this one is still very dissatisfied, and he claims that the way of heaven is unfair.

Of course, these words must not be complained about.

Yan Jingqing seemed to be a little stunned, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses again, and saw that Chen Mu was still standing in front, with a calm demeanor, no irritability, no flattery, neither humility nor arrogance, so after thinking carefully, he said:

"With your talent above the martial arts, if you enter the Seven Xuanzong early, you may also be able to rank among the true legends, but unfortunately you were born poor and a little late, and it is not suitable to enter the Seven Xuanzong again now, and listening to your remarks, maybe you also have your own views on today's world, especially if you start from the bottom step by step, and have served as a messenger, Yu Min knows more."

"The position of the Demon Slayer Division is not suitable for you, but on weekdays, the Demon Slaying Division is also a loose department, so it doesn't have to be completely separated...... Well, in this case, I will appoint you as the capital of the Supervision Division, and then write a note to the Demon Slaying Division, and let the Demon Slaying Division add a capital division, and you will also serve as it. ”

Inspector Si Du Si!

Slay the demon Siduji!

These two positions, the former one can be described as a high authority, and now the Supervision Department supervises Yujun, up to hundreds of officials, down to Li Shu, everything is within the scope of its supervision authority, it can be said that it is so big that it is boundless, to put it bluntly, it can manage almost everything.

The latter Demon Slaying Division, not to mention, enjoys the resources of the Demon Slaying Division, in fact, the Demon Slaying Division is almost also a direct force of the Seven Xuanzong, because all the resources that can be exchanged in it basically come from the Seven Xuanzong, not to mention that the status of the Demon Slaying Division itself is also extremely high, and when there is a demon chaos or a demon disorder, it can also order all the officials to cooperate and assist.

The only thing that the Supervision Department can't control is the Demon Slaying Division.

From the white-clothed guard of the Demon Slaying Division, he jumped to the Demon Slaying Division at once, not only promoted two levels in a row, but also served as the Supervision Division, which is almost no such person in the entire Yu County, such a power is in the body, and it can almost be said that the entire Yu County is unimpeded!

"The subordinates are only shallow in their studies, and they may not be competent for ......"

Chen Mu said with some hesitation at this time.

The power position of these two official positions is indeed great, but it is also because it is too big, it will be very eye-catching, and it is even more like the front line of confrontation with the four major sects, governing the people and slaying demons, and then concurrently confronting the disciples of the four sects, it is outrageous, he hopes that he can have a stable environment to practice kung fu well.

I knew that I shouldn't have answered Yan Jingqing's questions just now, and I just silently became a vulgar martial artist.

The gentleman hides his weapons and waits for the time to move...... It's okay now, I have to move.

Yan Jingqing smiled when he heard this: "Don't be humble, I heard that during your tenure as the secretary of Wutongli, not only did you govern Wutongli in an orderly manner, but even when you left office, all the people sent each other, in this troubled world, but there are still people who do better than you?" ”

At this time, he looked at Chen Mu in front of him, and only felt that the more he looked at it, the more pleasing it was to the eye.

is humble, calm, more proficient in the law of governance, both civil and military, how rare it is at this age, even in the heyday of the imperial court in the past, it is also a pillar of talent, if such a person worships the sect, it is a pity, now it is the Qixuanzong side who wants to ask for someone, I am afraid he will not let it go easily.

It is too exaggerated to send all the people to each other.

Chen Mu secretly slandered himself in his heart, and he didn't know who told Yan Jingqing about this, it was all spread like this, at that time, there were at most a thousand people, and most of them were the victims he rescued during the disaster, and it was very reasonable to come and send him off.

But Yan Jingqing said so, it was indeed impossible to refuse, Chen Mu could only sigh silently, and then asked: "Thanks to the supervision of the lord's love, the subordinates can only do their best, but there is only one thing ......."

Yan Jingqing smiled and said, "Do you mean the He family?" I heard that on the way you came, it seems that something happened, the He family is not very smart, I have ordered someone to deal with it, and the conflict between the two of you does not need to be too concerned. ”

What happened along the way was almost uneventful, and the He family and Yu Jiujiang almost didn't really fight, just sympathetic to the qi and machine, and left immediately after the temptation, but even so, it seems that they still couldn't hide from Yan Jingqing, the supervisor.

This also made Chen Mu feel the weight of the Supervision Department even more in his heart, in the end, the entire Yucheng is really coordinating everything now, and the first division of the eight directions, among all the government divisions in Yu County, only the Demon Slaying Division can touch the Supervision Division at this time.

However, what Chen Mu wanted to say was not the He family.

He shook his head: "Thank you for the kindness of the Inspector, but what my subordinates want to ask is, if you deal with the four major sects, should you focus on the laws of the imperial court or the rules of the rivers and lakes?" ”

Put it in the past.

Don't say that this kind of question is asked, even if you mention it, it is all guilty, in the heyday of the imperial court, all the sects in the world must abide by the law, and dare to kill people indiscriminately, even if you are the true legend of the sect, the Seven Xuan Sect, you should go to prison.

But now the imperial court decree does not go out of Zhongzhou, and the land of Yuzhou is divided by the Seven Xuanzong, and most of the time, the rules of the rivers and lakes have overridden the laws of the imperial court, not to mention that the Supervision Department is now essentially the power of the Seven Xuanzong.

When Yan Jingqing heard Chen Mu's words, he immediately fell silent.

It took a while before he sighed.

"It's up to you."

Although Yan Jingqing did not answer positively and gave an ambiguous response, Chen Mu already understood, after all, Yan Jingqing is a person who has a stable heart for the world and governs the people by law, and even he can't say such a thing as 'obeying the laws of the imperial court', so there is no need to think about which is more important.

In this way, Chen Mu was also relieved, after all, in today's troubled times, if Yan Jingqing wants to follow the laws of the imperial court, there will be too many and tricky aspects involved, but fortunately, although this supervision envoy is a scholar in white, he is also in the rivers and lakes, and he is not a pedantic figure.
