Chu Ming handed "The Art of Condensing Breath" to Tu Fengsan. The great master's later realm was really too eye-catching in the small county town of Hedong.
Chu Ming ordered Uncle Fu to clean the place and prepare a table of wine and food. He would eat here before going home.
Tu Fengsan was always hidden on one side, so it was naturally impossible for Uncle Fu and the waiter in the store to discover his presence.
“Bongsan, what suggestions do you have for my current situation?
The system characters have all synchronized Chu Ming's memory, which saves him a lot of explanation time.
"The key is to figure out who wants to kill the young master and why he attacked you?"
Chu Ming felt dizzy when he mentioned this matter. When he fell under the attack that day, he vaguely saw the corner of the other party's clothes. It turned out to be the "缁衣" worn by the police officers in the yamen.
"There are no clues now, and it is impossible to investigate."
"Young master, don't worry too much. I will protect you secretly. Besides, you are also an innate warrior now, so you are no longer helpless to fight back if something happens to you."
The appearance of Tu Fengsan really gave Chu Ming a lot of peace of mind. Otherwise, no one would feel comfortable facing the threat of death all the time.
"Although it is not certain yet, the assassination that the young master encountered is more like an unexpected incident than a long-term and careful plan."
"What should I say? What did Feng San discover?"
"I'm just inferring, there's no actual evidence yet."
Chu Ming still attached great importance to Tu Fengsan's judgment. He was a fierce man who valued both intelligence and force. "If it was a well-planned assassination, then from yesterday when we received the news that the young master was not dead until now, the other party has not chosen to take action again, which is too unreasonable."
Chu Ming agreed with Tu Fengsan's inference. In fact, he also had the same question in his mind as to why the killer didn't continue to take action.
"So my subordinate's bold inference is that the young master accidentally saw or discovered the other party's secret, which caused the murderer to kill you in a hurry."
"Since I discovered some great secret, why didn't they take any further action?"
"It is very possible that this was just an extreme measure taken by the other party out of caution. In fact, the young master may not have seen or discovered anything. After the murderer made a rational analysis afterwards, he felt that there was no need to take action again."
"If the other party does not attack the young master within the next week, it will basically confirm the subordinate's judgment."
Chu Ming also agreed with Tu Fengsan's judgment, because he was really determined to kill him, and the best time was when he was unconscious last night.
"This predecessor was quite unlucky. What shocking secret did he see that would lead to his death on the spot?"
Although Chu Ming complained secretly in his heart, he still took this matter very seriously.
"This murderer is always a trouble. Only by finding him can I feel at ease."
"If we want to find the murderer, we must first control the local gangs and conduct secret investigations through their network."
There are three major gangs in Hedong County, namely the "Dragon Tiger Gang", the "Venomous Snake Gang" and the "Mad Dog Gang". Each of the three major gangs has its own territory and business.
The strongest among them is the Longhu Gang.
"My subordinates will secretly investigate the strength and background of these three gangs in the past few days, and choose one of them to control."
"Okay, from now on, we will have to grasp all the big and small things that happen in Hedong County as soon as possible, and we will have to work hard for everything."
"Young master, don't worry. If you give Feng three to two months, he will definitely fulfill your instructions."
"I will let Fu Bo stay in this room, and it will be used as the place where we meet for the time being."
After greeting Uncle Fu, Chu Ming returned home.
"If you don't feel well, why did you run out?"
His wife Yu Niang blamed Chu Ming with some anger.
"It's just a hangover, it's not a big deal. I went to visit Uncle Fu and packed some of your favorite food for you."
While responding to Yu Niang, he handed her the food box in his hand.
"Okay, I'll go get ready and let's have dinner."
"I ate at the restaurant, and this is all brought to you."
Yuniang smiled sweetly and entered the kitchen carrying the food box.
Since his wife likes to be quiet, Chu Ming and his wife were the only ones in the entire Sanjin courtyard, which seemed a bit deserted.
Although Yu Niang's appearance is ordinary, her figure is impeccable. In the first days of marriage, Chu Ming even indulged in sexual pleasures for a while and could not extricate himself.
Yu Niang's family used to be a wealthy family in the county, but her family fell into decline, so she chose to come to Hedong County to visit her relatives.
But she didn't expect to encounter a horse thief on the road. The whole family was in trouble, and she was the only one who managed to escape.
And his relatives in Hedong County, where he had fled, suddenly disappeared, and she, a weak woman, became lonely.
Chu Ming sympathized with Yu Niang's plight and temporarily took her in. Over time, the two developed a relationship, and he officially married Yu Niang six months ago.
Chu Ming took advantage of his position and asked his friends to go to Qinghe County to investigate Yu Niang's identity. There was no problem. The results of the investigation were completely consistent with what Yu Niang said.
After the marriage, the relationship between the two was good, but maybe because of past experiences, Yu Niang was very afraid of meeting strangers.
When nothing happens, she only stays at home and rarely leaves the courtyard.
If it weren't for going out to get some medicine for Chu Ming today, he wouldn't have even left the house.
"Ms. sir, what are you thinking about?"
When Yu Niang saw Chu Ming standing alone in the yard, she couldn't help but ask.
"I am missing you!"
Chu Ming responded to her teasingly, and two blushes quickly "flyed up" to Yu Niang's cheeks.
"Will my husband go to work tomorrow?"
"Of course I have to go. Since my body is fine, I can't delay official business."
After hearing Chu Ming's answer, Yu Niang did not stop him, but just told him to pay attention to his health.
After Chu Ming had a brief chat with him, he went back to his room to rest.
Maybe he was too tired from the daytime experience, but Chu Ming slept very soundly that night.
It was Yu Niang who woke him up in the early morning. Seeing Chu Ming's sleepy state, she said with concern, "Why don't we take another day off today? There is no important business in the county government anyway."
Chu Ming smiled, took the towel handed over by Yu Niang, wiped his face, and responded easily, "Don't worry, my husband's health is really fine, he's just drunk. Okay, naturally he still has to arrive." The bad guy at the Yamen."
After hearing what Chu Ming said, Yu Niang stopped insisting.
After eating the breakfast prepared by Yu Niang, Chu Ming headed to the county office.
Greeting acquaintances along the way, it can be seen that his popularity in Hedong County is indeed good.
Entering the county government office, he was blocked by a muscular middle-aged man.
"A weak scholar is a weak scholar. Master Chu even took a day off because he was hungover."
Chu Ming took a closer look and saw that it was his good friend from the county government, He Jian, the head catcher of Hedong County.
"Don't laugh at He Captor. Of course I am not as strong as you."
Although Chu Ming gave in, He Jian had no intention of letting him go easily.
"Although your body is a little weak, you won't fall down on the street because of drunkenness. Maybe it's because you are greedy for pleasure and pleasure, and your body is empty."
He Jian's wild bear-like laughter and his muscular body really make people doubt that he is a black bear that has become a spirit.
"Don't talk nonsense. I didn't know why that day, I felt dizzy and fainted. Even the ancestral jade pendant left by my parents broke."
"A swollen lower plate is obviously a sign of kidney deficiency. I am familiar with Dr. Mo from the east of the city. Would you like me to prescribe you some precious medicine to strengthen your yang and nourish your kidneys?"
Amidst He Jian's wild bear-like taunting laughter, Chu Ming fled as if he had entered his own apartment.
After closing the door, Chu Ming immediately regained his calm expression.
All the arguments just made were carefully discussed with Tu Fengsan yesterday, just to reasonably explain why he was hit hard by the murderer but did not die.
The Chu family is also a wealthy family in Hedong County for many generations. Maybe there is a treasure in the family that saved his life at a critical moment.
Chu Ming knew that He Jian was a big talker, and it wouldn't take long for their conversation to spread throughout the county, which would save Chu Ming trouble.
As usual, he meticulously completed the work of transcribing and organizing various documents.
As expected, during lunch, his colleagues came over to express their greetings. Most of them asked him to pay attention to his health, and some recommended him a master who repaired jade.
Even the county magistrate Zuo Qingshu personally came to express his condolences. The core meaning was, "Although you are young, you should not be too greedy for pleasure. You should still pay attention to moderation."
The county magistrate's ridicule pushed the matter to a climax. As the core figure of the incident, Chu Ming had no choice but to accept everyone's good intentions.
Chu Ming went to and from the county government and home as usual, and his simple two-point-one-line life seemed no different from usual.
In this way, the week passed quickly.
Just as Tu Fengsan had inferred, the murderer did not take any further action. It was indeed possible that it was just an unexpected incident that day.
This week, Tu Fengsan also completed his observation of the three Jianghu forces in the county.
"Sir, I have decided to take control of the Longhu Gang."
The Longhu Gang is the oldest gang in Hedong County. It has about 300 members and controls the three most prosperous neighborhoods in Hedong County.
The gang leader is a pair of twin brothers, "Shilong" and "Shihu". Both brothers are ninth-level warriors, who are already considered great masters in Hedong County.
"The background of the Longhu Gang is simple and clear, the gang is organized and has rules, and the gang members have a certain degree of cohesion towards the gang. Such a gang can be put to good use by us."
"What's the situation with the Viper Gang and the Mad Dog Gang?"
After listening to Tu Fengsan's introduction to the Longhu Gang, Chu Ming also became interested in the other two gangs.
