In the office of the City Guards Department. There is no separate place for police officers on the ground floor to conduct official business and rest in the City Guard Department. There is only a spacious courtyard at the back and a few public and very dilapidated low buildings. But as chaotou, it is different. Each of the five chaotou has an independent room behind the main hall, which is usually used for official business or rest. Among them, the room owned by Zhao Zong has not been stayed in for a long time. . After Zhao Zong suffered a hidden injury in his old age, he rarely came to the office to stay. However, his room was still cleaned by someone on weekdays and was still clean. Now, after many years, this room has welcomed a new one. Owner. Chen Mu stood at the door and looked at the room. The room is not big, and there is only a long table placed horizontally. There are some books stacked on the table, and a clean tea set. Behind the table is a yellow wood chair, with a small piece of the chair handle slightly chipped. , but does not affect practicality. Both the table and the chairs were clean and free of dust, and the bluestone floor was free of mud. Although it is not spacious, it is also clean. Such an evaluation should be very pertinent. Zhao Zong stood next to Chen Mu, with his hands behind his back, and said with emotion: Those of us who practice martial arts wear down our energy and blood. Even if we don't fight with others, we will always accumulate some old wounds. When we get old and can't suppress it, we will Attacked...
As he spoke, he stroked the table with some reluctance. No one in the Jiutiao City Guards Department was older than him, including Chaosi Min Baoyi. If his physical condition had not been deteriorating, he would have been almost unable to fight with others. He was also reluctant to resign from his position as a chaotou. Now that he could temporarily retain his identity as a chaotou and stay in the City Guards Department as an instructor, it was a satisfactory result for him. The original plan was to get in touch with Ren Yan, a rising star, and sell him a favor in advance so that he could retain some power when he resigned in a few years. However, Chen Mu's appearance was beyond everyone's expectations. After learning from Wang Gong and others that Chen Mu was personally recommended by Xu Hongyu, the chief mission officer above, Zhao Zong immediately stopped all his thoughts. At the same time, he suddenly realized that Min Baoyihui and Chen Mu were suddenly brothers. This body-tempering method of grinding skin and training flesh is also harmful to the body? Chen Mu listened to Zhao Zong's words and asked thoughtfully. Zhao Zong smiled and said: Yes, whether it is skin grinding or meat training, the body is tempered in various ways and supplemented by medicinal powder. Naturally, it is harmful to the body. If you want to practice martial arts and live a long life, How can there be such a good thing in the world? My back feels like needles tingling every day now. It’s because the microdermabrasion method I used to practice when I was young was too focused on effects and caused great internal damage to the body. However, sometimes it is inevitable that I can’t help myself and can have some problems. It would be good to practice martial arts, but there are many people who want to practice martial arts, but there is no way. After listening to Zhao Zong's words, Chen Mu thought of the gold and jade skin grinding method that Xu Hongyu gave him. At that time, Xu Hongyu mentioned that this method may not be the fastest, but it is more gentle and gentle, and causes less damage to the body. If Zhao Zong had practiced this dermabrasion method when he was young, he might not be in this situation now. Okay, I've told you everything I need to tell you. It's time for me to leave. If anything else happens, just ask Wang Gong, Qin Bei and the others. Zhao Zong slowly withdrew his hand and faced Chen Mu. He nodded and walked outside. Mr. Zhao, walk slowly. Chen Mu watched Zhao Zong leave, then walked slowly to the table, picked up a few books on the table and took a look, but they were the neighborhood distribution map of Jiutiao, as well as some documents on demographics and other documents. Putting down the booklet in his hand, Chen Mu came to the window and looked out. At this time, the drizzle had stopped. Just as the rain had passed, the sky cleared. A ray of sunset shone into the house along the window. In the afterglow, Zhao Zongyuan's back could be seen. As well as many officers gathered in twos and threes in the distance, each talking about what happened just now, the shock in their eyes still lingered. Chen Mu's promotion to the position of Chatou was no surprise, but he didn't expect Min Baoyi to be so resolute. It only took one day. Xu Hongyu only said hello over there, but the replacement was already completed here. even. Even his blue uniform, waist tag, etc. have not been finished yet and are still being ordered. But from now on, he is already the weakest man in Jiutiao, and he is in charge of the part of the people that Zhao Zong was originally in charge of, which totals thirty or forty people. In addition, if he feels that there are not enough people, he can also recruit more from outside. This is how low-level officers are recruited and evacuated at will. Within a certain number, the officers can make the final decision. He looked back at the house again. Chen Mu turned around and walked out. When he came to the government office outside, he met Qin Bei who was walking out together.
Chen Tou. Qin Bei looked at Chen Mu with complicated eyes and said hello to Chen Mu. Chen Mu had always been a sergeant under him before, but suddenly he got into the relationship with the chief sergeant. Not only was he promoted to the rank of sergeant, but he also became Min Baoyi's guest. This inevitably made him feel awkward. This is different from Ren Yan. There has been rumors about Ren Yan for a long time, and he has been taking the initiative to support him. It has been more than half a year now. Even if he gets promoted, he still has to call him 'Brother Qin', and Chen Mu But he jumped up without saying a word and became a figure who was on the same level as him and could even crush him. This awkward feeling lingered for a short time. Qin Tou. Chen Mu also gave him a hand. He didn't have any special impressions of Qin Bei. When he worked under Qin Bei, although Qin Bei was neither cold nor indifferent to him, he didn't deliberately feel sorry for him, so he was calm and calm. After all, Qin Bei had been working as a bad boss for many years. He quickly suppressed the awkwardness in his heart and said: Congratulations on Chen Tou's promotion. When I'm free in a few days, I'll treat Chen Tou to a drink. Chen Tou wants to be honored. sure. Chen Mu responded with a smile and walked out. Come outside. When the scattered officers in the yard saw Chen Mu approaching, they all paused for a moment. Then they realized what they were doing and saluted and greeted Chen Mu: Master Chen! Compared to Qin Bei, they were much more nervous. After all, they used to work in the same hospital as Chen Mu. Even if they had no contact with each other over the years, they had at least one or two discussions behind their backs. In addition, everyone felt that Ren Yan was not promoted to the right position before. It was a sure thing, everyone went over to flatter him, but now Chen Mu suddenly rose to prominence, and it was inevitable that he felt uneasy. Everyone, get up. I'm taking over as the chief. I'm not familiar with it yet. Just wait and do things as usual. Chen Mu said casually to the officers. yes. Many officers responded one after another. Then Chen Mu crossed the crowd and came to the outermost side. Liu Song and Li Tiezheng were standing here. When they saw Chen Mu coming, they lost their usual easy-going and comfortable attitude and greeted Chen Mu with some restraint. Why do you two have to be so reserved? When Chen Mu saw this, he said half-jokingly. But Liu Song still replied cautiously: My lord, now that you have been promoted, you have crossed the dragon gate. How can ordinary people like us dare to make excuses in front of you? Just give me your instructions. Although this world is chaotic, the more so, the stricter the hierarchical rules. Now Chen Mu is already a poor leader. Even if he is a lower brother, he still calls the two of them brother as he did in the past. Then they He also dared not respond. You must know that Chen Mu and Qin Bei and others now treat each other as equals. If Qin Bei and others see him calling him this, what should he think? It will undoubtedly be a disaster for them. I have redrawn the list with Mr. Chao Si and assigned you to my charge. From tomorrow on, you don't have to patrol the streets. You can just stay in the office and listen to my arrangements. Chen Mu also looked at Liu Song and Li Tie and said seriously. The two of them have been friends with him for several years. Although they don't have a deep relationship, they are the most knowledgeable policemen he has in the City Guard Department. Now that he has been promoted to the head of the city, he still needs a few close followers to work under him. As soon as these words came out, some other officers looked at Liu Song and Li Tie with envy. Staying in the office and obeying the dispatches means that he has gone from being an ordinary patrol officer to a close servant who only has to help Chen Mu with things and obey Chen Mu's dispatches. Although he is not a promotion, the treatment is completely different.
If you work with a bad boss, you become a close confidant of the bad boss. First of all, you don't have to participate in those troublesome patrol affairs, and you don't have to work on night patrols every two months. Thank you for your appreciation, sir! Liu Song and Li Tie were equally surprised when they heard this and thanked them repeatedly. Although the two of them had been whispering just now, wondering whether Chen Mu would care about their old relationship to support them after he rose to prominence, they were worried. Now that the dust has settled, they naturally thanked him happily. Chen Mu nodded slightly, then said no more, and left the City Guard Department, leaving behind a group of officers who looked at his disappearing back with complicated eyes, either envious or sighing. … The news that Chen Mu took over as the chief of the Kutiao City Guards spread quickly in Kutiao. It only took half a day for people from all walks of life to know about it. After all, the people living in Kutiao are the forces that they usually deal with the most, apart from gangs. City Guards Department. If it's just one officer, that's okay. The City Guards replace dozens of officers every year, but there must be a dozen. But the difference is different. There are only five in total. If you offend one of them, it will still be very troublesome. , not to mention the rumors that Chen Mu and Chasi Min Baoyi are very close, so they need to be treated with caution. The above is the reaction of some powerful squires and gangs in the Kujoli area. But after leaving Jiutiaoli and looking at the entire Nancheng District, it was a different scene. Night falls. The Nancheng District City Health Department is still brightly lit. In a spacious and clean hall somewhere, a fair-skinned man was sitting at the table, holding a document in his hand. He is He Mingxuan, the deputy chief commissioner of the Nancheng District Urban Guard General Department. His status is second only to Xu Hongyu, and his background is no worse than Xu Hongyu. When the surname He is mentioned, everyone in the inner city is familiar with it. Kujoli...Chen Mu...is a bit interesting. At the age of twenty-two, he is indeed a talented person who can understand the power of the sword on his own. No wonder Xu Hongyu will take special care of you. However, your Yu family is currently in internal and external troubles. If you still want to continue to support and cultivate your own confidants in the City Guards Department, I am afraid it will not be that easy. He Mingxuan showed a sneer and put the page in his hand on the candle to burn it. Ordinary people don't know the origin of Xu Hongyu, and are relatively unfamiliar with the surname Xu, but people with a little power know that Xu Hongyu's mother's surname is Yu, and she takes her father's surname, and she is a direct descendant of the Yu family in the inner city. The battle between the He family and the Yu family over the City Guards Department is no longer a matter of a year or two. There are nearly 200 people in the City Guard Division within one mile of the city, and the entire Nancheng District is ten miles away. Together with the City Guard General Department, there are nearly 3,000 people, and the other three districts in the southeast and west are not much different. , a total of nearly 12,000 to 3,000 troops. Such a large number of manpower is undoubtedly not a small number. Even though the quality is not as good as the elite private soldiers trained by various families, because of the relatively large number and the fact that they occupy the court's orders, they can do many things openly. If they are concentrated In the hands of one force, it is inevitably a threat, so each family has to restrain each other. Xu Hongyu has only been in charge of the chief mission for two years. Although he has a high and powerful position, he does not have many trusted direct descendants under his command. Chen Mu showed some talent and caught the eye of Xu Hongyu. Xu Hongyu tentatively designated him as a direct lineage that could be used in the future to train him. Naturally, he made rapid progress in the small Jiutiao, but he did not want to see Chen Mu grow up to be the person Xu Hongyu helped. But not a lot. Well, it's just a small difference. He hasn't practiced the body tempering method yet, so he's not worthy of my personal 'care'. He Mingxuan thought for a moment, then called someone over and gave a few instructions. He then picked up the teacup with a calm expression and began to taste the tea slowly. Xu Hongyu has offended many people in the past two years. All he needs to do is reveal a little bit about Chen Mu and then sit and drink tea. After a while, someone will naturally do what he wants to do for him, even if he offends Xu Hongyu afterwards. Angry, it can't be found on his head.
