Great Xuanwu Sheng

In the sycamore tree.

Compared with Jiutiaoli, Wutongli is not much larger in terms of overall jurisdiction, but because it is close to the center of Nancheng District, it is much more prosperous. There are few narrow and congested alleys and more open streets.

Because the population is larger and more prosperous, Wutongli City Guards is larger than Kujoli. There are more than 300 guards in three classes, led by seven chaotou respectively. In terms of numbers and other aspects, it exceeds Kujoli.

Even so.

But the Chasi in Wutong did not hold much power as Min Baoyi in Kutiao.

On the one hand, there are many forces in Wutong. There are six or seven gangs comparable to the Chijin Gang. There are many powerful forces in the local area, and they are close to the center of Nancheng District. They are often controlled by the City Guard General Department.

Unlike in Jiutiao, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and there are not many powerful gangs, Min Baoyi is almost like a local emperor there. To be honest, even the Chijin Gang does not dare to confront him openly. Therefore, Chen Mu is in Jiutiao During the days when I served as a sergeant, except for that fierce ambush, I encountered almost no other troubles.

Wutongli City Guards Department.

The entire City Guards seems much more spacious than the one in Kujoli. The one in the center is a small two-story building. It seems to have been built in recent years. There are no dilapidated buildings in other buildings. All traces have been taken care of cleanly.

When Chen Mu led Liu Song and others into the City Guard Department, seven officers had already led three squads of officers to wait in the open space in front of the central building. When they saw him coming in, they immediately led the officers to bend down and salute.

Wutongli City Guards, three squads of officers, totaling 361 people, are all here to see you, sir.

The seven chaotou and more than 300 people bowed down together.

The scene is still somewhat spectacular.

Chen Mu stood in front of a group of officers, looking down at the past, and a sigh arose in his heart. He had been doing nothing in this world for nearly two years, but once the opportunity came, he was immediately seized. In just over a year, he rose from a low-level police officer to a police officer commanding hundreds of people.

Perhaps in the Wutong outside, his orders could not be passed as unimpeded as Min Baoyi's in Jiutiao, and no one dared to disobey him, but in this city guard, all the officers were decided by him.

Get up.

After Chen Mu looked around, he spoke calmly.

Now that he is a police officer, he no longer needs to treat other police officers with courtesy as he did in the past. Instead, he must erect the majesty of a police officer and have a will that cannot be disobeyed, even though he is almost older than the seven officers. Noticeably young.

yes.

All the officers responded in unison, and then they stood up and carefully looked at Chen Mu, the new officer.

The first reaction is youth.

too young!

The fact that Chen Mu went to Wutongli to serve as a messenger was an obvious matter to Min Baoyi, Xiao He and even He Mingxuan. However, it was not so easy to find out about the ordinary servants or even bad guys below.

Even until today, they didn't know who was going to replace Xu Fenglai as the mission official.

Why are you so young...

It should be from the inner city. It probably has an unusual origin.

Hehe, I don't know. This Chasi-sama really didn't come down from the inner city, but I know a little bit. He is from Kujoli. He was the Chasou there before and worked his way up. , it is said that he has caught the attention of the chief police officer.

Yeah?

Some of the guards who were farther away were talking in low voices.

Looking at Chen Mu, there was surprise, envy, and jealousy in his eyes. He lamented in his heart that this is the way the world is. If you want to be favored by a big shot, you will reach the sky in one step. You can be promoted to be an official at such a young age.

However, compared to the officers at the back, the few officers at the front treated Chen Mu with respect. They were different after all. They were at a higher level. Some of them had participated with Xu Feng before. After going through the crusade of the Black Crow Sect, I knew more or less about Chen Mu, and I knew that Chen Mu was not just valued by Xu Hongyu.

Has Chasi Xu left already?

Chen Mu looked at the nearest charioteer and asked him.

According to common sense, when he came to Wutongli to take over the post of Chai Si, Xu Feng, the former Chai Si, had to hand over to him. However, Xu Feng was not promoted this time, but chose to retire due to health problems, which was still a little different.

Master Chaosi, Master Xu said that he is not feeling well and will not stay here to cause trouble for you.

Shang Qinglai saluted and responded respectfully.

After hearing this, Chen Mu's expression did not change, and he immediately said: The three groups were disbanded on the spot, and we will continue to act as usual. The seven of you will follow me to the government office to report on the situation in Wutong.

It was true that Xu Feng was ill, but he didn't leave before he came. He probably didn't want to see him. He didn't care about it. He was also a subordinate of Xu Hongyu and a subordinate of the Yu family. It won't cause him any obstacles, maybe he just doesn't want to meet with his successor as the former police chief in the City Guards Department as his old and retired chief.

Chen Mu didn't care about this. After all, Xu Feng had already made arrangements before he came, summoned three teams of people, and clearly gave instructions to Shang Qinglai and other leaders, so he had done everything he should do. , enough to get by in terms of face.

soon.

Many of the officers were dismissed, each doing their own thing. Shang Qinglai and other seven officers, as well as Liu Song, Li Tie and others who came with Chen Mu, followed Chen Mu into the yamen to discuss matters inside.

In fact, Chen Mu had already gotten a general idea of ​​the situation in Wutong from Xiao He, saying that he wanted to listen to reports from Shang Qinglai and others, and more importantly, he wanted to make a brief distinction between these seven bad guys, and then assign these people to do things.

At present, it can be roughly seen that among the seven bad guys, Shang Qinglai is the leader. This person is also the bad guy who has the closest relationship with Xu Feng. As far as Chen Mu knows, he seems to be a distant relative of Xu Feng, but he does things very well. , treat him as the new officer with utmost respect, do not overstep the mark in his words and actions, and do not look down upon him as a young officer based on his background.

The Crocodile Gang, the Quicksand Gang, the Bandit Gang... the relationships between these seven gangs are complicated, and they may have conflicts or alliances, and then there are the Nan Family and the Zheng Family. Both of these two families have relatives working in the inner city, and they themselves have several stories. He was a powerful and powerful person in the era, and his family hired dozens of martial arts guards and hundreds of domestic slaves...

Shang Qinglai stood aside and introduced the many forces in Wutong.

Although Chen Mu already knew many of them, compared to Xiao He's introduction, Shang Qinglai's introduction was more detailed, including whose daughter became whose second wife, which gang was involved in what business, and which other While joining forces.

However, Chen Mu is actually not very interested in this. To put it bluntly, he came to Wutong to serve as a messenger. He just occupied a seat and did not intend to do much practical work. He still focused on his martial arts practice. .

Actually.

With his current strength, even though the seven gangs and two powerful men are powerful, and none of them are inferior to the City Guards, he is still fully qualified to say, 'After I have finished speaking, who agrees and who opposes'.

When personal strength reaches the level of Yijin, it is a completely different field.

However, just as Chen Mu was listening to the report and thinking about it, suddenly there was a loud noise outside. There seemed to be so many people that it even reached the hall.

Shang Qinglai, who was reporting, paused and glanced outside.

Sir, let me go and take a look.

The other chauffeur next to him reacted quickly, saluted Chen Mu, and then walked out quickly.

But after only a moment, he walked into the office again, his face seemed a little unsightly: Master Chasi, he is from the Zheng family, and there are some people from the Liusha Gang. It seems that there are also people from the Bandit Gang.

As soon as this statement came out.

Many other bad guys looked at each other in confusion.

Today is the day when Chen Mu, the new police chief, takes office. The Zheng family and Liusha Gang appear together by such a coincidence, and there are also people from the thieves gang. No matter how you think about it, it is impossible that they are here to clean up Chen Mu's dust.

It seems that I am somewhat famous. I was able to cause such a big commotion as soon as I came here.

Let's go.

Chen Mu looked calm, stood up slowly, and walked out.

After Shang Qinglai and many others looked at each other in disbelief, he quickly followed him and walked out of the office together.
