Chapter 97 Jade Returns
Chen Mu, the commander in Wutongli, has met the deputy captain.
Chen Mu walked out from behind the office, bowed politely with a calm expression, and then stretched out his hand to take out a document and said: The cross-border arrest last night was naturally ordered by the General Director, and there is a document here.
Putting aside the death of He Mingxuan for the moment, the interception of the He family's goods last night was a plan that Xiaohe and he had made long ago. Naturally, all aspects were properly arranged, including the subsequent response, and all documents and instructions were in place.
Including the General Department of City Guards, there is also a corresponding document at this time, which is included in the General Department's order.
The Deputy Chief Zhang in front of him was very aggressive as soon as they met. He was obviously not from the Xue family or the Xie family, but could only be from the He family. He probably came here deliberately to cause trouble.
……snort.
Zhang Heng took the document from Chen Mu's hand, glanced at it, threw the document directly on the ground, and said sternly: You are so audacious that you dare to forge court documents, deploy troops without authorization, and move across the border. What crime should you be punished for!
Come here and there, take it down for me!
Following Zhang Heng's order, the two sergeants on the left and right immediately stepped forward and held down Chen Mu's shoulders.
Chen Muchu remained calm and allowed the two sergeants to hold him down. He said calmly: Master Zhang, what do you mean by this? I personally received the order document from the General Headquarters yesterday. The General Headquarters also has the evidence, so how can you forge it?
Zhang Heng sneered and said: The Chief of City Guards in Nancheng District has never issued this order. If it is a secret order, it needs to be signed by Xu Hongyu, the Chief of Missions. Xu Hongyu was not in the city yesterday. Could it be that there is a second person in Nancheng District? Chief marshal?
Xiao He takes charge of the General Department of City Health on behalf of Xu Hongyu. In fact, it is not a nominal charge. She has no official position. The reason is that by exchanging letters with Xu Hongyu, Xu Hongyu still gives the orders, but Xiao He executes them on her behalf. .
And because Xu Hongyu has absolute trust in Xiao He, Xiao He can give orders at will and deal with them on the fly. As long as he sends a letter to Xu Hongyu afterwards, and Xu Hongyu fills in the order, there will be no problem.
Although many orders are supplemented later.
But the problem is that there is no way to investigate this kind of thing. After all, it is impossible for others to know the contents of the letter in advance. Even if they do know in advance, they cannot use it as evidence to indicate that it was Xiao He who gave the order and then filled in the document, because it needs to be made clear first. How did he 'stealthly read official documents'? That is tantamount to accusing himself of it in the first place, which is pure nonsense.
In fact, Zhang Heng also knew this very well. It was difficult for him to make any fuss about Xiao He giving orders on Xu Hongyu's behalf. After all, Xu Hongyu could immediately 'transform' an official copy of the letter sent yesterday.
therefore.
He is mainly using intimidation at the moment, and hopes that Chen Mu, who is still young, will quarrel with him and finally refuse to accept and choose to resist violently. That way, he will have a direct reason to take Chen Mu down on the spot, or even directly Killed for resistance.
Even if no problem is found afterwards, the worst case scenario is to let the person go. It will have no impact on him anyway. As the deputy capital secretary, he has the authority to investigate. As the so-called official level kills people, he is more than a big deal to Chen Mu. Level one!
A branch secretary in Chen Mu District is only from the eighth rank.
Xu Hongyu, the chief mission officer, has only graduated from the seventh rank.
And as the deputy capital secretary, he is a seventh-level official!
Further up, there are two captains of the inner and outer cities, one is from the sixth rank, then the deputy captain is the sixth rank, and finally there is Xie Jin, the captain who is in charge of the military affairs inside and outside the entire Yu County. The official rank is from the fifth rank, and the higher ones are the only ones left. The Lord of the Lower City and the Sheriff himself have reached the fifth rank.
Chen Mu faced Zhang Heng's aggressiveness, but he was still very calm at this time and said: Of course there is only one person in the chief mission department, Mr. Xu Hongyu. Yesterday's document is naturally the official letter of Mr. Xu.
Really, where is the official document?
Zhang Heng snorted coldly.
In fact, he knew that as long as he delayed, Xiao He would be able to get a document. If that didn't work, it would be fine to imitate Xu Hongyu's handwriting. After all, Xu Hongyu could just admit it directly. The chief executive might even have such a document now.
Therefore, he was still more threatening. As long as he could find some flaws in Chen Mu's words, it would immediately become evidence. If he was charged with forging official documents, Chen Mu could be directly and reasonably convicted.
Isn't Mr. Zhang from the General Directorate?
Chen Mu was well aware of all the procedures ordered by Xiao He on behalf of Xu Hongyu, and he had no fear of Zhang Heng. Naturally, it was impossible for him to reveal any flaws under Zhang Heng's threats. At this time, he only asked calmly: If your Excellency comes from the General Office, then you should have found the order documents at the General Office.
When Zhang Heng heard this, he looked at Chen Mu up and down with a cold expression.
Indeed, he did not come from the headquarters, but came directly from the inner city. He came here just to get back the goods and take Chen Mu back directly. As long as he was imprisoned for two days, it would be easy to destroy him. , if Chen Mu's flaw can be caught, or if Chen Mu tries to resist and kill him on the spot, that would be even better, and the reason is sufficient.
In fact, if Yan Guang, the capital secretary of the outer city, had not issued a message asking the He family not to mess around in the city guard department, he would have killed Chen Mu on the spot for any reason.
The main reason is that Yan Guang's words cannot be ignored. After all, he is not only the capital of the outer city, but also a member of the Xue family. His words may also have the meaning of the city lord Xue Huaikong, and no one in Yucheng dares to violate them.
Even though the He family can cause chaos in the entire Nancheng District and turn Nancheng District upside down, they cannot kill indiscriminately in the City Guard Department.
You are collaborating with Ning Hehang. You and others forged the documents of the General Secretary. There is no need to investigate further. Now the evidence is conclusive. If you tell the truth honestly, you may be exempted from the crime. If you resist and refuse to obey, don't blame Daxian for the ruthlessness of the law!
Zhang Heng spoke in a deep voice.
There is no need for the General Secretary to go there. Whether or not the investigation is carried out is the same thing.
I always act according to orders. I'm sorry that it's hard for me to understand what your Excellency said.
Chen Mu responded calmly.
He could finally tell. Zhang Heng was obviously a little concerned. It was probably that someone higher up in the City Guards Department had spoken and asked the He family not to mess around. Otherwise, Zhang Heng might have directly attacked him.
In that case, it would be more troublesome. Anyone who can be the deputy chief must at least be Yi Jin Perfect. His apparent strength cannot be matched. Of course, if you anger him, just kill them all and leave the city. With his current strength and means, there are many places he can go outside of Yucheng, but that is a last resort after all.
After all, in that case, Chen Yue would be trapped in the inner city.
Although once he really showed his strength and fought out of the city, the Yu family would probably protect Chen Yue, and Xu Hongyu and Xiao He were also there, but he couldn't gamble on such a thing after all.
After all, his strength is not enough to settle everything.
What if he has entered the realm of the five internal organs and kills a mere He Mingxuan?
even.
There is no need to enter the realm of five internal organs. If he has reached the perfection of bone forging now and has the artistic conception in his body, he will be the strongest existence in the entire Yu City except for a few in the realm of five internal organs. Even if he kills He Mingxuan in person, he will not be afraid of the He family. What.
very good.
Zhang Heng's face turned completely cold, and he said in a cold voice: It seems that you have become determined after eating the weight. If you want to be toasted, you will have to drink the fine wine! Take me to the inner city Yamen and interrogate you, but you dare to resist. , shoot to death without mercy!
Unexpectedly, Chen Mu was so young, but he was a hard rock that could not be penetrated by oil or salt. No matter how hard he chewed it, he could not find a gap. In this case, he could only take it by force and take him directly to the inner city Yasi, where he could concoct a good deal through interrogation. It’s time.
Although there were orders from above not to act recklessly, but they only took away a small police officer to supervise the interrogation, so it was not considered disorderly behavior. Anyway, as long as no one was killed, it was within the feasible range.
...
Chen Mu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Zhang Heng wanted to take him to the Yasi in the inner city instead of taking him to the Nancheng District General Office, which meant that he was determined to kill him. The He family was indeed domineering in their actions. Last night, they first assigned the Black Cloud Thieves to They attacked and killed him secretly, and today the deputy governor of the inner city came again to kill him openly.
Although he knew that he would definitely be involved in the struggle between the He and Yu families when he set foot on Xu Hongyu's boat, they threatened his life repeatedly and wanted him to die at every turn. This is no longer a matter between the He family and the Yu family. .
He family,
snort!
A hint of coldness flashed in Chen Mu's eyes.
Shang Qinglai waited for all the gangsters. Until now, they were all kneeling on the ground, trembling and not daring to raise their heads. They were all complaining secretly in their hearts. They just hoped that the incident would not involve them as well. Sure enough, Chen Mu, the gangster Sidu couldn't bear it.
However.
Just when several soldiers looked fierce and were about to step forward to shackle Chen Mu and escort him away.
A cold voice came from outside.
As the deputy capital of the inner city, what qualifications do you have to recruit people from the outer city?
Chen Mu's slightly flexed fingers slowed down slightly when he heard the sound coming into the hall.
In the hall,
Everyone was stunned.
Many soldiers of the Inner City Guards also stopped and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a woman wearing tight plain clothes with a cold and stunning face, like a clear lotus emerging from the water, walking into the hall.
Surprisingly, it was Xu Hongyu, the chief messenger who had not seen him for a long time, who was out of the city to hunt monsters!
The clothes on his body were vaguely damaged, and there was a bloodstain on his shoulder. He seemed to be rushing back from the outside of the city without stopping, without even tidying up his clothes, and he went straight to Wutong.
Following Xu Hongyu was Xiao He, who was also wearing plain clothes. She secretly winked at Chen Mu.
Chen Mu's expression became calmer, he lowered his eyes and stopped talking.
the other side.
Zhang Heng's face became a little unsightly. He looked at Xu Hongyu with a sullen face and said: Mr. Xu, please pay attention to your attitude. Are you questioning Pontus?
As soon as Xu Hongyu appeared, he knew that he couldn't deal with Chen Mu today. He could take Chen Mu away by force, but Xu Hongyu couldn't. Even if there was a high probability that Xu Hongyu would be removed from his position as chief inspector, Xu Hongyu should not be regarded as chief inspector. Si is the same. She is a direct descendant of the Yu family, and her strength is there. Not long ago, she hunted monsters outside the city and made many achievements.
If it hadn't been for He Mingxuan's incident this time, it would have been possible for Xu Hongyu to be promoted half a step higher. After all, it was rumored that she was not far away from Yi Jin Consummation. She had a good background and status, and with this meritorious service, it was normal for her to be the deputy capital secretary.
At most, it is unlikely that he will be promoted to deputy chief within the City Guard Department. After all, the deputy chiefs of the City Guard Department are already full. It is more likely that he will be transferred to other departments, such as the Demon Slaying Department, Salt Affairs Department and other yamen.
But it’s hard to say right now. It’s more likely to be flat.
Sir Zhang, all affairs of the City Guards Department in Nancheng District are under the control of me, the Chief Police Officer. Even if you are the Deputy Chief of Police in the Outer City District, if you want to deal with the following police officers, you will know that I will do it, not to mention that the inner city area is not Jurisdiction over outer city affairs.”
Xu Hongyu looked at Zhang Heng coldly and said: Since Mr. Zhang acts so arrogantly and doesn't take me as the chief mission officer seriously, then I have no attitude towards Mr. Zhang. I'd better ask Mr. Zhang to return to the inner city. Go ahead.
you……
Anger flashed in Zhang Heng's eyes.
Xu Hongyu said indifferently: If Mr. Zhang still wants to capture my people, just do it. I have been hunting demons outside the city for several months, and it is a good time to ask Mr. Zhang for his marksmanship. However, I still have to go to the Demon Slayer Division. Mr. Dusi is here to report on his duties, I think it’s okay to go a little later, Mr. Zhang should be able to explain it to me.”
Zhang Heng's face became even more ugly after these words, and finally he snorted angrily and walked away.
