master. The new maid was fetching water. When she saw Chen Mu walking into the inner courtyard, she timidly bowed to Chen Mu. Brother Mu. Wang Ni came out with a happy face. With the addition of a little maid in the family, her status will naturally rise and become a big maid. In the future, if the house is bigger and there are more people in the yard, her status will also rise step by step. Although Wang Ni is only eleven years old now, she has gradually understood this. She is basically the only one in this yard who can call her brother Mu. Nier has grown taller again. Chen Mu touched Wang Ni's head and smiled slightly. Speaking of which, Wang Ni has changed a lot this year. After eating well and dressing well, she has slowly grown and has become a bit more delicate and pretty. However, according to the current growth rate, she probably still won't be able to grow. It’s like Chen Yue. Due to his martial arts training, Chen Yue practiced the same golden and jade dermabrasion method, which did not damage the skin and provided ample energy and blood. Although he is not yet sixteen years old, he already has the look of a big girl. In the future, Even if she doesn't have the appearance of Xu Hongyu, she is almost the same as Xiao He.
Nowadays, Chen Mu is considered well-informed, but Xu Hongyu is still the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. On the one hand, she is a direct descendant of a large family. She was born with rich clothes and good food, and she also practices martial arts and is good at martial arts. With talent, abundant qi and blood, active muscles and tendons, it can be said that he is successful in all aspects. Not all daughters from wealthy families are necessarily good-looking, and not all women who practice martial arts are beautiful, but the best ones basically come from them. After moving to a new home, Chen Mu's living habits remained unchanged. Still eating and practicing until nightfall. His skills and internal training methods are still in the stage of rapid progress. Ever since he got the system panel, he has never slacked off in his practice. It can be said that his current situation is inseparable from his hard work. , the system panel is just a small catalyst for these efforts to produce that little 'qualitative change'. … The next day. Chen Mu got up in the morning as usual. After practicing his sword, he went to the City Guards Department. Liu Song and Li Tie had been waiting in his hall early. After bowing respectfully, they each reported their previous inquiries about the Zheng family and the Liusha Gang. Chen Mu listened for a while, then let out a soft 'ha' and said, The Zheng family really regards Wutongli as their family's back garden. Normally, a mixed gang should be more sinister, but according to Liu Song and Li Tie's reports, the Zheng family has done far more deeds than the Quicksand Gang, including killing people in the street and robbing women. Not to mention, occupying the mansion and running amok are almost commonplace. Xu Feng, the former commissioner, did not ignore this, but was helpless. On the one hand, the Zheng family has a huge business. Even if they lead three teams of Qicheng Guards, it will be difficult to deal with dozens of martial arts masters and hundreds of servants of the Zheng family. What's more, the Zheng family is deeply rooted in Wutong and has many powers. He has a close relationship with the Liusha Gang and also has some contact with the Nan family. If he is not handled well, it will turn into a situation where he is riding a tiger with difficulty. The so-called people do not fight against the officials, that refers to the common people who have no background or influence. People like the Zheng family, who have complex forces and backgrounds in the inner city, are not considered people at all, and they have no fear of the City Guards. Therefore, there is nothing to fear locally. even. Among the information Liu Song inquired about, there were also some other prohibited matters. For example, they secretly resell medicinal materials, and they are suspected of hiding crossbow arrows and armor in secret. These two things are most likely not groundless. The Daxuan court had very strict control over medicinal materials, especially those involved in martial arts training and various materials on monsters. Private operation was often strictly prohibited. For example, the various medicinal materials required for martial arts training produced in Yucheng, including those involving monsters, are basically handed over to the guards outside the city by the hunters and herb collectors, and then delivered to the inner city by the guards. Pharmacy Department, and then circulated to the entire process.
It can be said. In the past, when the Daxuan imperial court was at its peak, civilian force was very scarce. After all, the required resources were basically controlled by the imperial court. But things are different now. Although the medicinal materials business nominally involved in martial arts training is still prohibited by the imperial court from being run privately, that is only in name. At present, the medicinal materials business in Yucheng is actually controlled by the Xie family in the inner city. Because the person in charge of all military affairs in Yucheng, whose status is second only to the city lord, is the head of the Xie family, including the inner city pharmacy department, which is basically the influence of the Xie family. but…… The business of medicinal materials is too involved, not to mention that many resources involve the foundation of warriors. The Xie family cannot actually fully control it, just like the city lord controls the most critical part of 'Yi Jin Wan'. Other companies also have their own channels to obtain some medicinal materials directly from outside the city. As for the hidden crossbows and armors... Needless to say, these types of court bans are basically in name only. In fact, many of the court's orders can no longer be transmitted to the Yucheng level. Naturally, there is no one to do such things. Go ahead and take care of it. Go and ask Shang Qing to come and Zhang Guo to come. Chen Mu thought for a while and gave Liu Song instructions. Although the Zheng family is powerful, the former chief of the Wutongli City Guards Department is Xu Feng after all. He cannot deal with the Zheng family, but the interior of the City Guards Department is still in good order. There are at least seven shortcomings, basically all of them. Xu Feng's own people. Of course, now that Xu Feng has resigned, some of the poor people may have been bribed by other forces, but Chen Mu doesn't care, and he has no interest in playing this kind of house game with several forces. soon. Shang Qinglai and Zhang Tong came to the government office. In the future, City Guards Department, during the morning and dusk handover, the three groups of people will practice for an hour as usual, starting today. Chen Mu gave an extremely simple order. The City Guards Department oversees hundreds of officers, and daily drills are very common. However, in fact, both the Kujo-ri Castle Guards Department and the Indus-ri Department rarely conduct regular drills, often not even once a month. To put it bluntly, training men and horses requires money. From the highest level to the lowest level, some of the money can be deducted from the regular ones. How can you give more money to the lower level officers? After all, even if you train hundreds of good players, it is not your own. The family's private soldier. If you have that money, you might as well keep it yourself. yes. Shang Qinglai and Zhang Tong lowered their heads in response, then looked at each other. Although I was a little surprised, I was not surprised by Chen Mu's order. As the saying goes, a new official takes up his post with three things in mind. As a new commissioner, it would be very strange if there was no movement at all after taking office. When it comes to training as a sergeant, it's normal to practice vigorously for several months to show off your posture. Go ahead. Chen Mu waved his hand and sent the two of them off.
