"Yes, such an act is naturally a sin that deserves death. However, after all, she is a royal family, and if this matter is made public, it will be a big blow to the reputation of the royal family. So the emperor handed over the matter to the old man and asked him to find out what was involved.

But Princess Changling was extremely careful and did not leave the slightest tail of her hands. Moreover, it is only speculation that this matter is related to Princess Changling. The news from the Hundred Nations is that the Starstriped Divine Weapon was purchased from pirates in the East China Sea......"

"I said no wonder, why did Lord Chincha suddenly go to Jeju to transfer the water division of Qiantang, and you are so eager to know if the pirates of the East China Sea have anything to do with Xie Tianci. ”

Shen Ling smiled, "The Ouchi secret agent went to investigate, but all of them were lost. Later, Princess Changling died, and there was no clue about this case. The pirates of the East China Sea have since been wiped out, and the star-striped divine soldiers have never been born again. But look at the battle report. ”

"Kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred. It's almost a one-to-one battle loss. Could it be that the Starstriped Divine Weapon has reappeared?"

"Yes! With this, it can be determined that the Starstriped Divine Weapon was sold, and Princess Changling was not the head behind the scenes, or the only one behind the scenes. ”

"Hundreds of countries are violating the border, why haven't I heard that the imperial court wants to use troops against the hundred columns? The temper of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces...... Not that much, right?"

"It is true that there have always been voices of the court asking for war, but for the emperor, the first thing to face is this thousand-year catastrophe. However, the emperor still sent envoys to Baili, but the king of Baili said that these people were not Baili troops, but rogues wandering on the border of Baili. ”

", isn't it? When will the strength of the Liukou be just like the regular army?"

"Who doesn't know if this is a perfunctory statement? When we get through this thousand-year catastrophe, the days of Bailie will almost come to an end. Even if this great tribulation is not achieved, a hundred nations must be destroyed. We will leave this matter aside for the time being, and this time I asked you to explain something else important. ”

"You don't let me go to Nanling, and you don't let me investigate the cause of Lord Qiantang's death, what do you have to say directly. Such hesitation doesn't seem like your style. ”

"I want you to go to Gangbuk-do. Shen Ling said solemnly.

"Gangbuk-do, investigate the cause of Lord Qian's death?"

"No, with reliable information, this time the origin of the star-striped divine weapon obtained by the hundred nations is clear, and it is said that it was purchased from the Wa Kingdom. ”

"Why are you involved with the Wa Kingdom again?" Lu Sheng's head was a little big, "No, it can't be the Wa Kingdom." Since the star-striped divine weapon is Dayu's non-artifact, it is absolutely inseparable from Dayu.

And how can the place where the birds don't in the country of the Japanese country produce a star-striped divine weapon?"

"I think so too, since the beginning of the year, Gangbuk Province has been in rebellion. Judging from the right timing, I don't think it's that coincidental, and there should be some kind of connection.

Originally, I was going to hand over this matter to the old man's Ouchi secret agent, but I think they are not as reliable as you...... So ......"

"Okay!" Lu Sheng was not reluctant at all, and readily agreed, "Go to Jiangbei Dao, in what capacity?

"Of course not, Lord Qiantang died of illness, and Jiangbei Province lacked an envoy. However, you are not going as a secondary envoy, you are an envoy to Wuzhou, and you are also the chief of the Tongnan Prefecture Criminal Division. ”

"Wuzhou Inspector?" Lu Sheng was secretly shocked in his heart, "Although this is not a standing official position...... But...... Pretty high-quality, right?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that you were promoted. Shen Ling said indifferently, "Because of your outstanding performance in Xuantian Mansion, and because of Liu Songbo and the old man's joint request, everyone in Xuantian Mansion has been promoted to one level, and you, the official has been promoted to three levels." In other words, your current official rank is...... From the four pins. ”

"From the fourth grade...... Lu Sheng's pupils were already dilated.

Before Lu Shengzheng's six-rank official rank, he was already the mainstay of the imperial court. And from the rank of the fourth rank, it has climbed to the upper level of the pyramid.

From the four products, it is generally the existence of the number one leader of the state capital. As long as the qualifications are boiled for a few years, you can be promoted to a state taishou or daotai, and become a real feudal official.

Lu Sheng is only twenty-three now, such a young Congsi Pin, except for the group of people who were born with their own titles in the entire officialdom system, are absolutely unique.

Shen Ling looked at Lu Sheng so excited, and he was secretly proud in his heart. In order to surprise Lu Sheng, he endured the news for a long time and didn't tell Lu Sheng.

"I ...... How much money can I get a month?"

"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Shen Ling was choked on a mouthful of saliva for a long time.

"Oh, by the way, it's eighty taels!" Lu Sheng came back to his senses, "Eighty taels, you can buy a house on the outskirts of Jinling...... Before I knew it, I had become a high-paid person. ”

"I just gave you 800,000 taels, okay, it's like a dirt bun. ”

"Is there a connection between the two?" Lu Sheng asked suspiciously.

Lu Sheng asked this, but he didn't care much about eighty taels of silver a month. Purely an instinctive inquiry about a promotion and a raise. Once a normal person is promoted, it is estimated that the first reaction is how much the salary has risen rather than what kind of position they are in the company.

"Anything else? If not, I'll pack up and go. ”

"Alas!" Suddenly, Shen Ling stopped Lu Sheng again, "Go to Jiangbei Province, be careful." Speaking from my heart, I don't want you to go to Gangbuk-do. ”

"Don't worry, my strength is there, what are you worried about?"

"Your strength is good...... But there is one more fierce one in Gangbuk Province. It's in Thong Nam Province!"

Looking at Shen Ling's solemn eyes, Lu Sheng's expression also tightened, "Beikanhou?"

"Yes!" Shen Ling let out a long sigh, "Don't look at the Marquis of Beikan as just a marquis, but fifty years ago he was a duke. And this Beikanhou was known as the first master of Dayu 20 years ago. Do you know his weight?"

"I have heard that Beikanhou is a master, but I have never heard of the prestige of his first master of Dayu. Why is Beikanhou so strong, even stronger than Xiling Wangfu?"

"Strong! I don't know if the Xiling Wangfu is strong, but I know that twenty years ago, he once killed the Tubo national teacher with his bare hands. When the Tubo National Teacher came to our dynasty and met his friends with martial arts, Chang Taifu thought that he was not the opponent of the Tubo National Teacher. ”

Hearing this, Lu Sheng's eyes also became solemn. Chang Taifu's martial arts are unfathomable, and he was already a Dao realm cultivator thirty years ago. And Chang Taifu was ashamed of himself, but he was beaten to death by Beikanhou with his bare hands?

However, since the Marquis of Beikan is so strong, why has he never had a good reputation, and with such strength, why did he only get a marquis? Moreover, in the previous Sword and Demon Rebellion, the Marquis of Beikan, who was close to Tongnan Mansion, did not make a move?

All kinds of questions flowed in his heart, and he cast a solemn look at Shen Ling, "Do you suspect that it has something to do with Beikanhou?"

"That's not it, Beikanhou and the Japanese are mortal enemies, he wants to collude with the Japanese invaders, I'm afraid that the old man's coffin board will not be able to hold it. But Beikanhou has deep roots in Gangbuk Province, so you must not be cautious in everything, and do not offend him. ”

"Got it......" Lu Sheng felt that Shen Ling actually had something else to say, but he didn't say it, Lu Sheng knew those words, and it was also a matter of confidentiality. Otherwise, with the relationship between Lu Sheng and Shen Ling, Shen Ling would not hide it.

Out of the office, Lu Sheng called Lu Jian and Duan Fei. Originally, Shen Ling planned to let Lu Sheng take a thousand Xuantianwei to go. But Lu Sheng felt that if he could do it himself, it would be a waste to bring too much. And if you can't figure it out yourself, it's useless to bring as much as you want.

So he symbolically brought fifty Xuantianwei, but these fifty were all the elites of Xuantianwei. Each one, at least the acquired sevenfold or higher cultivation.

There was no mobilization, and there was no send-off feast. Early the next morning, Lu Sheng took a carriage and set off with his appointment papers.

Jinling to Tongnan Province, there are two ferry crossings, one in Changxi Province and the other in Suzhou Province. In order to go to Suzhou Mansion by the way, Lu Sheng chose to enter Jiangbei from Suzhou.

I haven't been back to Suzhou Mansion for half a year, and Suzhou Mansion seems to be more prosperous than before.

This prefect of Suzhou is a native of Yunnan, and his family is a well-known local squire. In the early years, he made a fortune in business, and it seems that his talent for business is engraved in his genes.

Suzhou Prefecture has been rich for hundreds of years, and although it has never weakened, it has never made a big leap. But after this Lu Governor's Mansion came, he actually carried out a drastic reform of Suzhou Mansion.

Lu Sheng has been paying attention to the development of Suzhou, so when the spider came to the report, Lu Sheng once asked the spider to investigate whether this Lu Governor's Mansion had crossed over.

In the eyes of Lu Zhifu, Suzhou male cultivators and female weavers are simply the biggest waste of manpower. Therefore, Kunnan County was used as a pilot to promote workshop operations. In the past, weaving and weaving were small operations for every household, but after the implementation of collective mass production, the efficiency and quality of the work were improved explosively.

Having tasted the sweetness, the prefect of Lu tried his best to concentrate the labor force and implement assembly line work. For a time, there was a wave of part-time jobs in Suzhou.

In the past, the fields in Suzhou Prefecture were all subordinate and distributed by households, and no family member was prosperous, and there would not be much land to cultivate. The only difference is that people who are thriving work quickly and easily. But this is a huge waste of labor.

The industrialization of the Lu Governor's Mansion gave the people a place to go for their surplus labor and promoted the prosperity of the city.

In the past, Suzhou City was the most lively only on the day when the market was opened. And now, every day is so lively. Because of the large number of people, even the market that is open every three days has become open every day.

So walking on the streets of Suzhou City this time, it seems that the New Year is approaching. The whole street is crowded with people.

The group came to Suzhou Xuantian Mansion, and the spiders and others who had already received the news greeted them outside.

Lu Sheng had to pass by Suzhou Mansion on a business trip, which made the old people who had followed Lu Sheng from the beginning very relieved.

At least the words that Lu Sheng said before he was transferred were not pure words of comfort. The people of Suzhou Mansion are Lu Sheng's descendants.

"My lord, are you going to Tongnan Mansion this time? Do you want to handle a big case?" Spider and Sun You are Lu Sheng's henchmen, so they dare to ask tentatively about this kind of thing.

"I can't tell you about it out of the rules, but it shouldn't be short. A month may not be enough. You have done a good job this year, and the security of Suzhou Mansion has reached a new level. But Sun You, have you been lazy in practicing lately?"

"No?" Sun You replied blankly.

"Half a year ago, you were only one realm away from the spider, but now? The spider has reached the peak of the day after tomorrow, and you are still the seventh day after tomorrow? I know that you have done a good job of intelligence, but martial arts are also part of the ability. If you can't keep up with your martial arts, how can I take you away in the future?"
