69: Chapter 69 Loyalty

Actually, Chen Hu also wanted to conduct an experiment.

To see if, after using a loyalty card to turn Chief Constable Xu Shiyou into his subordinate,

the Constables under his command would also automatically become his subordinates.

If it were to succeed,

the number of his subordinates would skyrocket.

Activating his stealth state, Chen Hu sped along the way.

He soon arrived outside the Prefecture Yamen.

Vaulting into the Prefecture Yamen, he activated his Spiritual Sense.

And in a very short time, he locked onto Chief Constable Xu Shiyou.

As Chief Constable, Xu Shiyou had a separate small courtyard as his office.

However, at this moment, he was not working but practicing his blade technique alone.

A loyalty card appeared in Chen Hu's hand.

Locking onto Xu Shiyou, he silently thought of using it.

A streak of invisible golden light flew out from the loyalty card and submerged into Xu Shiyou's body.

His gaze appeared dull for a moment, and immediately following that, a memory appeared in his mind.

This extra memory let him know that, in fact, he had always been secretly loyal to one person.

Even if that person told him to die, he would not have any hesitation.

And he did not feel that there was anything wrong with this; instead, he felt it was only natural.

But at this moment, Chen Hu was somewhat disappointed.

He had clearly used the loyalty card to make Xu Shiyou his die-hard loyalist.

But the number of his subordinates remained the original number.

Therefore, he deactivated his stealth state.

Seeing someone suddenly appear in the courtyard, Xu Shiyou's expression changed slightly, but upon seeing that the person was Chen Hu, he became respectful again: "Greetings, Master!"

"Xu Shiyou, from now on, I am your Big Brother, and you are my subordinate. Call me Brother Hu!"

"Yes, greetings Brother Hu!"

Xu Shiyou immediately called out.

With Xu Shiyou's call of Big Brother, the number of subordinates increased by one, reaching 410.

He was rewarded with an Elementary draw.

Subsequently, after Chen Hu gave Xu Shiyou some instructions, he went invisible again and left.

Chen Hu did not go to the Mu Family, but returned to the hall.

With Chief Constable Xu Shiyou intervening in the Mu Family's case, no one dared to covet Mu Mingzhu's family property anymore.

Inside the Mu Family residence.

The Prefecture Yamen's Constables had already sealed off the entire residence and were conducting investigations on the spot.

Huang Ning, serving as the team leader, sat on a chair with a silent expression, watching his subordinates interrogate the Mu Family's servants and maids.

As for Mu Mingzhu, she had already returned to the Mu Family with her maid Cui Liu.

But she could only stand there anxiously, waiting for the results of the interrogation.

Just at this moment.

A middle-aged man wearing a Constable's uniform walked in.

Huang Ning, who had been sitting on the chair, hurriedly stood up, trotted forward, bowed, and saluted: "Constable Xu, why are you here?"

In the Constable System, from low to high, they are: Temporary Constable, Formal Constable, Intermediate Constable, Advanced Constable, Deputy Team Leader, Team Leader, Deputy Constable, Constable, and Chief Constable.

Xu Yang waved his hand, signaling that Huang Ning did not need to be overly polite, then looked at Mu Mingzhu and said in a kind tone: "This must be Young Miss Mu Mingzhu, right? I am Constable Xu Yang!"

"This humble girl, Mu Mingzhu, greets Constable Xu!" Mu Mingzhu bowed and saluted.

"Young Miss Mu, no need for formalities, please rise!" Xu Yang gestured as if helping her up and said.

"Thank you, Constable Xu!"

"You are too kind, Young Miss Mu!"

Subsequently, Xu Yang said to Huang Ning: "Little Huang, if the case is not complicated, close it as soon as possible, so as not to disturb Young Miss Mu!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Ning was startled and immediately understood that Xu Yang had come to back Mu Mingzhu. He immediately said: "Constable, you are right. This case is indeed clear and distinct. This subordinate will close the case immediately and will not disturb Young Miss Mu!"

"That's good!" Xu Yang nodded with satisfaction, then patted Huang Ning on the shoulder: "The Chief Constable is also quite concerned about this case. After you return, remember to take the files to see the Chief Constable!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Ning was shocked internally; he had not expected Mu Mingzhu's backing to be so large.

Originally, he thought it was Xu Yang, but now he realized it was actually the Chief Constable.

Fortunately, his personality was not overbearing; his handling of the case just now was at most strictly official, and he had not gone out of his way to make things difficult for Mu Mingzhu.

Mu Mingzhu, hearing this, was secretly shocked; she hadn't expected Chen Hu to have such wide connections, actually being able to make Chief Constable Xu Shiyou intervene in this matter.

Actually, let alone her, even if her father were still alive, he would not have the qualifications to come into contact with an existence like Xu Shiyou.

After all, besides being the Chief Constable, Xu Shiyou was also a Bone Refining Realm powerhouse.

Not long after Xu Yang left the Mu Family.

Huang Ning also left with his subordinates.

At the same time.

The Punishment Department, one of the Six Departments of the Prefecture Yamen.

Qian Hui's face was full of gloom.

Because he had just received news that his father-in-law, brother-in-law, and nephew had all been beaten to death at the Mu Family.

Although he was only one of the minor officials in the Punishment Department, his father had once been the head of the Punishment Department.

With the connections his father left behind, he was doing very well in the Punishment Department.

Besides that, his relationship with Constable Li Tong was also quite close.

Because their Qian Family and Li Family were family friends.

Qian Hui was just about to go and find out exactly what the situation was with his father-in-law's family.

Li Tong actually came to find him on his own initiative.

"You've heard about your father-in-law's matter, right?"

Li Tong asked in a lowered voice.

"Yes!"

Qian Hui nodded: "Brother Li, you came just in time. Who exactly killed my father-in-law's family?"

"The person who killed your father-in-law's family is named Mu Sihe. We have already sent people to arrest him!" Li Tong said truthfully.

"Impossible!"

Qian Hui frowned: "I know that Mu Sihe. Although he knows a bit of martial arts, he definitely wouldn't have the guts to kill my father-in-law's family!"

"There are indeed doubts about this, but I can be certain that it was indeed Mu Sihe who killed them!" Li Tong said seriously: "I specifically came to find you because I hope you will remain silent about this matter; it's best not to step forward!"

"Why?" Qian Hui was puzzled.

Li Tong's voice went even lower: "Because the Chief Constable has already set the tone for this matter. If you want to reopen the case, you are going against the Chief Constable!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Hui's expression changed several times in succession. Finally, he said somewhat dejectedly: "Thank you for the reminder, Brother Li. Don't worry, I won't do anything foolish!"

Although the Qian Family had a certain amount of influence in the Prefecture City.

One could even say they were local tyrants.

Even if they were up against a Constable, the Qian Family would dare to fight.

But if they were up against the Chief Constable, the Qian Family was far from being a match.

"That's good!"

Li Tong patted Qian Hui on the shoulder: "Alright, I still have things to do, so I'll be going now!"

Before long.

Li Tong arrived at Chief Constable Xu Shiyou's small courtyard.

"Chief Constable, this subordinate has already advised Qian Hui, and he indicated that he will not cause any more trouble!"

"Well done, you may go," Xu Shiyou said indifferently.

"Yes, this subordinate will withdraw!"

Li Tong bowed and then exited the courtyard gate.

Time flew by, and it was already past three in the afternoon.

Chen Hu, who was practicing in his office, suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

A young man pushed the door open and came in: "Hall Master, someone sent a letter for you."

"Bring it here!"

Chen Hu took the letter and opened it, only to discover that it was a letter written to him by Mu Mingzhu, asking when it would be convenient for him to meet.

After reading the letter, Chen Hu picked up his pen and wrote a reply, having someone send it to Mingxin Teahouse.

Thinking that there was still one draw left unused.

He did not have the habit of hoarding draws.

Therefore, he brought up the draw interface and selected draw.
