That's right.
Wei Lun was killed by Chen Mu.
Including the guards in that courtyard, and the servants, all died at his hands.
It has been a total of five months since Chen Yue went to the Inner City to practice martial arts. It seems like a long time, but in reality, it is not as long as the time he spent cultivating the Whirlwind Saber Technique from great success to perfection.
But during this period, his strength can be described as advancing by leaps and bounds, rising all the way.
Now the system panel is also quite rich.
[Martial Arts: Whirlwind Saber Technique (Perfection), Fierce Wind Saber Technique (Perfection), Spirit Wind Sword Technique (Great Success)] [Experience: 1125 points]
With both the Whirlwind and Fierce Wind Saber Techniques at perfection, he can now simultaneously use the 'Whirlwind' and 'Fierce' two Saber Intents on a single saber. Also, because the Whirlwind and Fierce Wind are similar in nature, the two Saber Intents are quite compatible, and it is not difficult to use them.
As for the Spirit Wind Sword Technique, it is another martial art belonging to the 'Trigram Wind' lineage that he later found. Although it is a sword technique, firstly, the saber and sword are not separate, and secondly, he has a system panel, so there is no problem of being unfamiliar with different weapons.
Moreover.
Compared to the Whirlwind Saber and the Fierce Wind Saber, the Spirit Wind Sword Technique can be said to be his very secret method. For example, killing Wei Lun and a kind of guard, all used the Spirit Wind Sword Technique, and no one could associate it with him at all.
After Min Baoyi personally examined the injuries, the definition given was a strong man who practiced swordsmanship. The swordsmanship has not yet reached the Power of Intent, but the physique is very strong, at least Lian Rou perfection. This kind of physique is stronger than the skill, and generally they are people with a background.
After all, as long as you have money, you can keep training your physique. As long as you can come up with a few thousand taels of silver, no matter how ordinary your talent is, you can train a body of Lian Rou perfection, but small families do not have this wealth.
But precisely because of this,
Min Baoyi's judgment can be said to be a hair's breadth away, a thousand miles away.
[Wild Bull Lian Rou Method (Great Success)] [Experience: 243 points]
Chen Mu's current Lian Rou Technique has only reached the level of 'Great Success', and there is still some distance from perfection.
However, because he simultaneously cultivates three Mo Pi Fa to perfection, his copper-steel skin is like a tiger with wings in the Lian Rou realm. Even if he only has the realm of Lian Rou great success, under full burst, it is comparable to the general Lian Rou perfection!
This is the essence of Min Baoyi's misjudgment.
In fact, with Chen Mu's current skills and methods, even if he confronts a character like Min Baoyi, he will not fall into any disadvantage. Once he uses 'Dual Power of Intent', it is not difficult to defeat him.
It was precisely with such strength and confidence that Chen Mu gradually became active, because the cultivation of Lian Rou Technique and Mo Pi Fa consumed too much silver, causing him to be a little short of money, so he directly embarked on the path of killing people and stealing goods.
Now this world.
What is the fastest way to make money?
That is of course robbing.
Moreover, this kind of incident can be said to be one after another, happening almost every day, and it is impossible to distinguish clearly. The City Guard receives similar news every day, but basically they are too lazy to investigate, unless it is a wealthy family that has been robbed by thieves, and they put some pressure on the City Guard through relationships, then they will seriously investigate.
Chen Mu, as the Yamen Runner Captain of the City Guard, does not know the situation of Nine Stripes Ward like the back of his hand, but at least he is very familiar with it. It can be said that it is very easy to find a suitable target. A character like Wei Lun is his target.
It is not entirely because the other party is doing evil and his crimes are too numerous to mention.
Chen Mu has always disliked hypocrisy and is too lazy to find a pretext for punishing evil and promoting good for his killing and stealing. Killing is killing. Finding Wei Lun is more because this person has no other complicated background relationships. Once he dies, everything will end.
Min Baoyi's subsequent reaction to this incident was basically consistent with his judgment.
As for the girl who was unfortunate last night but also had a bit of luck, he didn't have too many thoughts about it. After all, his place wasn't a refuge, and he wasn't interested in bringing people home casually. An old servant and a maid were enough.
Killing Wei Lun and his guards and servants was enough. Not untying her ropes was also to prevent her from running around. As long as she stayed in the house, she would naturally be discovered by the City Guard the next day. Hearing Liu Song and Li Tie say that she had already returned home, Chen Mu didn't feel too many ripples in his heart, nor did he need the girl to recognize him and repay him in the future.
The Outer City was like this.
Ordinary families lived a precarious existence.
Wealthy families were also frightened, hiring many martial artist guards, worried about strongmen coming to their door to kill and steal.
It could be said that only in the Inner City was there a place of peace. The Inner City not only had the City Lord's guards patrolling day and night, but the guards of the various major families would also routinely patrol the streets and alleys of their respective families, in addition to the numerous martial halls and martial artists.
Once something happened, it could be said that people could be caught immediately.
Just like Tang Quan.
A person who had perfected Lian Rou and grasped the Power of Intent, was no less than Min Baoyi, and even after committing a crime, had fled to the Outer City, but in the end, he was forcibly dragged out.
Even if Chen Mu hadn't been the one he encountered that day, and he had been lucky enough to live a little longer, he inevitably wouldn't have been able to escape in the end.
"Hmm..."
Chen Mu thought for a while, took out twenty Gold Leaves from the pile of silver, put them in a small pouch, and then buried the other Gold Leaves and nearly two hundred taels of silver back under the floor tiles.
Then he pressed the floor tiles down with the box, and put about thirty or forty taels of scattered silver ingots and lumps in the box.
Silver was very heavy.
Therefore, generally wealthy people would not carry silver with them. What they carried were generally these Gold Leaves, with one leaf worth about ten taels of silver, and twenty leaves being two hundred taels. At most, they would let their servants carry a dozen taels of pocket money.
Chen Yue was now in the Inner City, studying at the Yu Family Martial Hall. Although she had gotten in through Xu Hongyu's connections, and her usual food, clothing, and medicine were provided by the Yu Family Martial Hall, she still needed some money on hand for emergencies. For example, if she accidentally sprained a muscle or bone while practicing, she would need to buy some good muscle and bone injury medicine.
Chen Mu had previously asked someone to send Chen Yue dozens of taels of silver.
At that time, he was still relatively poor, but now he was finally a little more well-off, and he planned to personally go to the Inner City to give these twenty Gold Leaves to Chen Yue, so as not to let her be in a very embarrassing situation.
Two hundred taels of silver seemed like a lot, but in reality, it wasn't much on Chen Yue's side. After all, those who could enter the Yu Family Martial Hall to practice martial arts were either the direct descendants of the Yu Family, or outer forces with some status like Min Baoyi, or wealthy people with vast fortunes. A few hundred taels of silver was just a drop in the bucket for them.
Therefore, he wasn't worried that this little money would cause Chen Yue any trouble.
After a simple tidying up.
Chen Mu changed into a set of casual clothes, but the Yamen Saber was still hanging by his side. Then, he took the Gold Leaves and went out, heading towards the Inner City.
It was also the first time in nearly five months that he was going to the Inner City to see her. After such a long time, he estimated that the little girl's resentment towards him was already like a torrential river, endless.
