N-A-A Chapter 174 Small Courtyard
Chapter 174 Small Courtyard
"Who is that Chief Xie?" Chen Mu asked.
"It's Xie Zhifu." Wang Shun immediately said the name of Chief Xie.
Chen Mu frowned. He knew that he had read this history in his previous life, but he didn't expect that the subordinates of the four main characters actually died of illness, and his daughter had also committed many evil deeds, but in the end she got away with it. Such a result was really intolerable.
"Where does Xie Zhifu live? I need all the information about his family." Chen Mu asked coldly.
Eliminating this person can save many victims, and Chen Mu even wants to eliminate the four people. They are currently cautious, hiding secretly, their whereabouts are unpredictable, and they are surrounded by many bodyguards.
However, even if the location is clear, killing them is not a problem for Chen Mu. He would rather see the change of the entire situation under long-term influence - those sinister and vicious people will be eliminated sooner or later as long as they jump into the public eye, so as to eliminate ** more thoroughly.
"Speak out, or die here." Chen Mu ordered coldly.
Wang Shun had no choice but to confess and described the details he knew as thoroughly as possible.
After listening to Wang Shun's confession, Chen Mu looked at him coldly: "That's it?"
"No more, I've told you everything, please let me go." Wang Shun begged.
“Let your body remain intact at the end.” Chen Mu stretched out his hand and grabbed Wang Shun’s head. He used his two fingers to perform a technique and quickly extracted recent memory fragments from his brain. Then, amid his screams, he broke his neck with a click.
Chen Mu picked out a few fragments of Wang Shun's memory and found that the official's true nature was greed. Most of the treasures he looted were hidden in a three-in-one courtyard he owned, and even his own family did not know the exact location of this courtyard.
Coincidentally, this courtyard is located on the edge of the imperial palace, opposite Chen Mu’s neighbor’s residence, Courtyard No. 11 of the Imperial City.
After arriving there, Chen Mu jumped into the yard. Every house in the yard was locked, so Chen Mu opened the last room on the inside and found that it was filled with various antique artworks.
The officials were indeed very discerning. They realized that antiques would be extremely valuable in the future, so they collected a large number of them.
Chen Mu casually waved his sleeves, and all the antiques disappeared without a trace. The originally crowded little room immediately seemed empty. Behind the hanging Guanyin portrait, a secret door appeared. Chen Mu stepped forward, opened the secret compartment, and found a Huanghuali wood box inside.
After opening the box, three property deeds came into view: one was for Courtyard No. 11 in the Imperial City, and the other three were for Courtyard No. 81 and Courtyard No. 82 in Wangfujing. Although these were not the core, the key hidden in them was important.
The key was inserted into a keyhole on the bookshelf and turned, followed by a click. Then, behind the bookshelf, a secret room with an area of 20 square meters appeared.
If it weren't for Wang Shun's memory, it would be difficult to discover this secret hiding place.
After entering the secret room, the first thing that caught my eye was a dozen huge boxes. When the boxes were opened, eight of them were filled with various gold objects, including large gold bars, small gold bars and gold ingots, with an estimated weight of more than ten tons. Another four boxes were filled with silver, totaling about five tons, and the remaining six boxes were filled with gems and jade.
These are all the products of Wang Shun's greed for wealth. Whenever he catches someone, his property will be confiscated, and many powerful people are involved. They are truly greedy, so it is no problem for them to accumulate wealth.
After finishing the cleaning, Chen Mu replaced the lock for the yard. Then he went to No. 81 and No. 82 Wangfujing Courtyards. Both courtyards were abandoned, but their future development potential far exceeded that of other courtyards.
Chen Mu returned to the Housing Authority to handle the property certificate, changed the locks for each house, and arranged the formation. Then he returned to the secret realm and sent the two minions and Wang Shun's soul to a secluded valley in the mountains of Fujian Province for burial. Now it has become a place where he specializes in handling relics.
Chen Mu did not pursue the matter of the man surnamed Xie any further, and chose to rest for the time being, because he had to hold a marriage registration ceremony tomorrow. He would consider whether to use bloody means to eliminate the hostile forces after the marriage.
The next morning, Chen Mu and He Yushui changed into new clothes and went to the photo studio to take wedding photos. Afterwards, they went to the marriage registration office to get their marriage certificates. He Yushui held the two certificates, which looked like awards, and seemed to cherish them very much.
Chen Mu bought a big bag of milk candy and after entering the courtyard, distributed the sweetness to every household.
"Oh! Chen Mu, Yu Shui, congratulations on your marriage! I hope you will grow old together and have a golden baby soon!" Yu Bugui's smile could hardly be closed after he received the candy.
"Thank you for the teacher's blessing, we will remember it," Chen Mu responded with a smile.
"Hey, Chen Mu, it's such an auspicious day. When are you going to plan a banquet for everyone?" Yu Bugui's tail had already turned into a fox's.
Chen Mu was so generous, so naturally he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity, and his worldly ways were fully revealed.
"Let's not have a lavish wedding. Frugality is encouraged nowadays," Chen Mu suggested.
"Oh, how can such an important matter be handled simply? A banquet is a must." Yan Bugui responded.
"I'm sorry, I really don't plan to do it. This way we can save everyone the red envelope expenses, killing two birds with one stone." Chen Mu didn't want to discuss it anymore and directly distributed the candy to the children. The children in the yard gathered around him.
He was very generous with the candy and even got a share of the sticks, because after all, today meant a lot to both of them and he didn't want any unexpected incidents.
After Xiaodang Huaihua and Banggeng got a lot of white sugar rabbit milk candies, they went home happily.
When Jia Zhang saw the candy, she asked, "Where did this candy come from?"
"It was given by that bastard Chen Mu, grandma. I robbed a lot of things, and he even married that bitch He Yushui." Bang Geng said, he was already used to calling her that.
If Chen Mu heard such words, he would be furious and beat Bang Geng up.
"That bastard is so stingy, giving him such a small amount of candy." Jia Zhang scolded while picking up a few candies and eating them.
When Chen Mu got home, he saw Sha Zhu and Li Chunhua busy in the kitchen, and the three children playing nearby. After distributing the candies to He Yushui, there were some left, so he gave some to He Jianshe, but the two children were too young to eat the candies.
Sha Zhu was very happy to see that they had completed the formalities.
"Have you got your documents back?"
He Yushui excitedly waved the marriage certificate in her hand with a big smile on her face.
Because of the Dingyan Pill, He Yushui's appearance now is the same as when she was sixteen years old, but her temperament is more outstanding, and she still maintains the sweetness of that time.
Chen Mu prepared a lot of ingredients and invited people in the yard to enjoy the food, but he only invited himself, He Yushui and Sha Zhu's family to dine together. Sha Zhu also specially cooked a sumptuous meal of Tan family dishes.
He was also generous with the drinks, and took out a jar of Lingquan wine for everyone to drink. After dinner, Sha Zhu's family did not stay too long, after all, it was the wedding day for the newlyweds.
"Brother Chen Mu, I feel like I'm still dreaming. We are really married now." He Yushui leaned gently in Chen Mu's arms and said in a gentle voice.
"The good life has just begun." Chen Mu said.
"Yes, I'm very happy now." He Yushui agreed.
"Today is both of our birthdays. Let's go to bed early. We don't have to run around anymore. You have become my legal wife." Chen Mu said with a smile.
"You just know how to bully me." He Yushui pouted, but her face was filled with a happy smile.
"I will bully you like this for the rest of my life." As he said that, Chen Mu gently carried He Yushui to the bed.
He Yushui looked at Chen Mu lovingly, and her lips slowly moved closer.
The room was plunged into darkness as they made love to their heart's content. Chen Mu did not go out of his way to stop He Yushui from having sex.
Although there are many women around him, Chen Mu always puts He Yushui first in his heart. Regardless of whether she is the most beautiful, she is a good girl who has accompanied him from the age of sixteen to the present and has never left him. Chen Mu loves her the most.
The next morning, the two did not wake up until the sun was high in the sky. He Yushui was the first to wake up and gently kissed Chen Mu on the face while he was sleeping. Chen Mu smiled and carried her back to the warm bed.
"Brother Chen Mu, it's almost noon." He Yushui said coquettishly.
"Let me kiss you again." Chen Mu begged with a smile.
"No."
"Oh, you little rascal. I'm going to ignore you. I'm going to cook." He Yushui kissed Chen Mu on the cheek, then got up and started doing housework.
Chen Mu looked at He Yushui's departing figure, and felt the sweetness and peace of life in his heart, and all his worries disappeared. He also stood up, walked into the kitchen, and prepared meals with He Yushui.
After cooking, Chen Mu immediately went to the central courtyard and told Yu Zhu's family that they didn't have to cook at noon and they could come home and enjoy lunch together.
"Brother, you can use my room from now on." He Yushui said.
"You're welcome. You can come back and stay anytime when you need to, in case that kid bullies you." Yu Zhu replied.
"Hey, how can you say that? I love my Raindrop so much, how could I bear to let her suffer any grievances, right, Raindrop..." Chen Mu corrected.
"Yes, Brother Chen Mu is the best to me." He Yushui agreed.
"Then live here. We have so many family members, and the children will all need their own place to live in the future." Chen Mu said, "Yu Diandi and I will be going to ** for a while. You need to help take care of the house in the central courtyard. Just say we have moved to the small courtyard outside."
"Do you have another property outside?" Yu Zhu asked.
"Well, we have a lot of houses in our hometown in Beijing. Even if we have more children, it will be more than enough for each of us to have a courtyard house," Chen Mu explained.
"You are really good at hiding things." Yu Zhu said with a smile.
"There's nothing I can do. There are restless people around me. If they knew I have a house outside, they might try to take it away from me," Chen Mu said frankly.
Yu Zhu felt a little bit embarrassed about this. He had been deceived into fighting for Chen Mu's family business. Now thinking back, his actions back then were indeed stupid.
