The sun was just past noon. But the sky gradually darkened, and at some point dark clouds covered the sky, and a drizzle began to fall. There were immediately fewer pedestrians on the road. By the time Chen Mu arrived at the City Guards Department, the square outside was already a mess with stalls being closed, and his uniform was also quite wet. Drizzle sprinkled on the edge of the wall of the City Guards, slowly falling along some cracks that had been in disrepair. Although it was raining, Chen Mu's mood was as smooth as ever at this time, and the dense dark clouds had no effect. As soon as he walked into the City Guard Department, he saw that there were crowds of people in the City Guard Department. The chaotic crowd numbered about one or two hundred, and it seemed that all three squads of guards from the Kujoli City Guards Department were here. Now they were crowded under the eaves and pavilions to take shelter from the rain. Chen Er! Liu Song and Li Tie were also mixed in. Li Tie's sharp eyes saw Chen Mu coming in from the main entrance, and immediately shouted to Chen Mu and waved: This way! Chen Mu originally planned to go directly to Min Baoyi, but when he saw the three groups of people from the City Guard Department gathered together, he vaguely understood something, so he walked in and passed by Liu Song, Li Tie and others. Why did you come?
Liu Song showed a somewhat reproachful look. He and Li Tie were called back from patrol. Although they didn't know what it was about, this kind of gathering of three groups of people usually only happened a few times a year. It was basically an important event. If they were absent without reason, they would be summoned. It's a big deal to come out. After waiting for a long time before Chen Mu came, both of them were still a little worried. Fortunately, Chen Mu arrived in time before the others. It would not look good if all the others had arrived. Something is holding me back. Chen Mu knew that Liu Song and Li Tie's concerns were well-intentioned, so he smiled at them, but did not stop, but continued walking inside, along the somewhat crowded pavilion. Huh? Where are you going? Liu Song suddenly showed a strange look when he saw this. However, the crowd nearby was crowded and the voices were noisy. Chen Mu's response was not heard, and Chen Mu's back was seen disappearing into the crowded crowd of officers, and there was no trace. Liu Song turned around and looked at Li Tie, then shrugged. Anyway, as long as Chen Mu arrived at the City Guards Department in time, he wouldn't be caught by the bad guys above, and other things were not important. Chen Mu left and never returned. Nearly half an hour passed, and Liu Song and Li Tie did not wait for Chen Mu to come back. They both wondered what Chen Mu was doing, but there were so many people and they were not in the mood to look for it. They also called three teams of guards to wait here. After so long, I still don’t know what happened. After waiting for a while, there was a sound from the pavilion at the main entrance of the City Guards Department. Master Qin! Master Zhao! I saw the crowded crowd making way from the gate, revealing three figures walking from outside. The leader was Qin Bei, the chap head, and Zhao Zong, who was stroking his beard. Next to him was Ren Yan. The three of them were all a little drunk. They seemed to have finished their drinks and hurried over after receiving the notice. Qin Bei's cheeks were slightly red after drinking. He glanced at the crowded city guard department and showed a strange look. It must be a big deal for the police department to summon the third class of guards, but he didn't know this beforehand. Although he was I went to have a drink with Zhao Zong and Ren Yan, but I should have told him what was going on in advance, but the person who informed him in the past only told him to come back as soon as possible. Brother Qin, this... Ren Yan also looked at Qin Bei with some hesitation.
His title for Qin Bei has changed from 'Qin Tou' to 'Brother Qin'. Apparently, the relationship has become much closer after a drink. Qin Bei touched his chin and said: Either something happened unexpectedly, or it's something between Lao Zhao and you... But it seems a little too early, don't worry, I'll find out after I go inside and ask. It was probably an emergency and I didn't have time to tell him the specific reason, but he just went in and asked Mr. Chaiji. Zhao Zong also nodded slightly and said, Xiao Ren, please stay here for now. Said. The two of them walked to the main hall of the City Guards Department together. All the officers along the way gave way and saluted respectfully. At the same time, he looked at Ren Yan, who was following Qin Bei and Zhao Zong, with a bit of envy in his eyes. Now the only person in the city guard who has such a close relationship with the two poor men is Ren Yan. Qin Bei and Zhao Zong walked all the way outside the main hall. Just as they were about to go in, they saw a person walking out. Um? Qin Bei was slightly startled and recognized the person. It was one of the guards he was in charge of. Chen Mu? Not knowing how Chen Mu came out of the inner hall, Qin Bei's eyes flashed with confusion, so he called out and planned to ask first. At this time, the chaotic outside became much quieter with the arrival of Qin Bei and Zhao Zong. At this time, many guards looked here, including Liu Song and Li Tie, who also saw the people coming out of the main hall. Chen Mu was a little confused. However. Just when Qin Bei was about to ask Chen Mu. Three more people walked out from the inner hall, each wearing blue uniforms. They were the other three officers of the Jiutiaoli City Guards. Two of them were Wang Gong and Zhong Chang who had traveled with Min Baoyi before. Old Zhao, Old Qin, are both here. When Wang Gong saw Qin Bei and Zhao Zong walking outside, he immediately greeted them with a smile. Zhong Chang also said with a smile: Where are you going to have a drink? Why don't you call me brother? Qin Bei was slightly startled. The gathering of the three teams should be a big event, but Wang Gong and Zhong Chang's attitude seemed a bit unconventional. They still had time to say hello and joke with him, so they felt a little strange in their hearts. They couldn't care about Chen Mu at the moment. Then he looked at Wang Gong, cupped his hands and said, I was delayed on the road and came a little late. I wonder why Master Chai Si summoned the troops... You guys will know this right away. Wang Gong said with a smile, but did not explain. Not only Qin Bei frowned slightly, feeling a little puzzled, but Zhao Zong next to him was also a little strange. He thought about it, and when he was about to go in and ask, he saw a figure walking out of the inner hall with square steps. The man was wearing dark green uniforms, with a tall figure and a majestic look. He was Min Baoyi, the police chief. Lord Chaiji. Along with Qin Bei, Zhao Zong, Wang Gong and other ministers bowed slightly to Min Baoyi and saluted.
And a large number of officers under the steps and under the cloister of the rear door kiosk all bent down and knelt on one knee, saying their respects one after another. Chen Mu was standing next to Qin Bei and Zhao Zong, and he also raised his hands to Min Baoyi, but the name that came out of his mouth made Qin Bei, Zhao Zong and some of the nearby officers stagger. Brother Min. As soon as this title came out, Qin Bei's eyes almost immediately turned from Min Baoyi to Chen Mu, his eyes widened slightly with an expression full of astonishment. Min...brother? How dare he call Min Baoyi like this? Even a poor guy like himself wouldn't dare to make such a big deal! Not only Qin Bei, except for Wang Gong, Zhong Chang and a few others, Zhao Zong next to him also looked at Chen Mu in shock. The nearest officers who were kneeling on one knee almost dropped their jaws in shock. Immediately afterwards. Something even more shocking happened to everyone, when they saw that Min Baoyi was not angry at being called such, but instead smiled and nodded at Chen Mu, then glanced at the whole audience and spoke in a deep voice. Chatou Zhao Zong is old and unable to handle the various affairs of the department. Now this department has approved, and after review by the General Chassis Department, Zhao Zong is allowed to retire. The position of Chatou will not be abolished for the time being, but his jurisdiction over various affairs will be handed over to him. The new chief, Chen Mu, will be in charge. As soon as this statement came out. The whole place fell into silence. Countless eyes were all focused on Chen Mu, some were shocked, some were stunned, and some were even more disbelieving and confused! Especially those who were familiar with Chen Mu, such as Liu Song and Li Tie, their eyes widened suddenly, and their jaws almost broke in shock. … at the same time. Butcher Zhang's home. Zhang Butcher, who had had lunch, was sitting in the yard basking in the sun with his belly full. Chen Hong was cleaning the yard not far away, but his eyes were still full of worry. He glanced out from time to time, waiting. Listen to Zhang Hai's reply. Finally, after a while, Zhang Hai's round and chubby figure walked in from the door. He looked a little lost. When he entered the door, he almost tripped over the threshold. He staggered a few times and almost fell to the ground. mud. The hair is so frizzy, what does it look like! Butcher Zhang, who was basking in the sun with his eyes squinted, looked over when he heard the noise and scolded him. But Zhang Hai didn't seem to hear it, and still walked inside in a daze. Little sea? Chen Hong put down her broom, walked over and asked worriedly: How's it going over there? Did something happen? Zhang Hai still walked forward in a daze, almost knocking Chen Hong down, and after a slight bump, he stood still in a daze. Looking at Zhang Butcher who sat up and looked over with a frown, Chen Hong who looked worried, and Zhang Youying who was washing clothes in the west of the yard and listened curiously, Zhang Hai moved his lips, but No sound was made. It seemed that he didn't know where to start, and his face still looked like he was in a dream. It wasn't until Butcher Zhang scolded him a few more times that Zhang Hai spoke intermittently and in an incomprehensible tone about what he had just seen. Chen Hong was stunned for a while, Butcher Zhang was startled, and Zhang Youying in the distance was even more shocked. It's like listening to a book from heaven.
this…… What is this all about? How could Chasi of the City Guards Department stand up for Chen Mu and actually be brothers with Chen Mu? Zhang Youying opened her mouth and looked at Zhang Hai in disbelief. If it weren't for Zhang Hai's confused and lost look, her first reaction would probably be that Zhang Hai was talking nonsense and deliberately joking. But…… Isn't Chen Mu just a poor, low-level policeman? Not to mention being a dignified chai, even having a chai who was a brother-in-law to Chen Mu was quite remarkable, and he would never be that poor. Brother Hai, have you seen everything clearly? Is it really Master Chaiji? Zhang Youying was still in disbelief. The flesh on Zhang Hai's face was piled together and he said: I...I didn't see it clearly, but in this world, who dares to pretend to be a police officer... really. In these Jiutiao, or even in the entire Nancheng District, whoever dares to pretend to be a police officer and cheat, even if it is an old man who hangs himself because he thinks his life is too long. Zhang Youying was a little confused after hearing this. When the courtyard was completely silent, Butcher Zhang slapped the handrail and said sullenly to Zhang Hai, This is a good thing. Why are you crying so hard? Get out of here! After saying that, he turned to look at Chen Hong and said sternly: I told you that your nephew is a great person among men. Being an ordinary servant would be a waste of talent. But if you have a little chance, you can rise to the top. How many kilograms of pork will you carry tomorrow? Jin Zhichun, I will come with you to say congratulations. Hear this. Chen Hong gradually woke up from a dream and responded. Zhang Hai and Zhang Youying next to them still looked confused.
