As soon as he arrived at the palace, Meng Jing saw Xue Jianxiao and hurriedly greeted him, looking a little anxious.

"Lord Wang, don't leave the mansion again, the sword demon Crazy Nine will come to assassinate in the next few days, and it is safest for the prince to stay in the palace. ”

It turned out that after Xue Jianxiao heard that Meng Jing had left the mansion, he was very worried about Meng Jing's safety, and immediately sent a team of Zhonglang generals to secretly protect him.

At this time, seeing Meng Jing coming back safe and sound, he was relieved.

As everyone knows, Meng Jing was not worried about the Sword Demon Crazy Nine at all, and even the Sea Shark Sect's assassination plan was clearly understood.

Meng Jing and Xue Jianxiao talked about Ningfu.

Xue Jian smiled and persuaded: "Everything has priorities, and the most urgent thing at the moment is to solve the assassination of the Sea Shark Sect, as for the matter of Ning Mansion, it is better to delay it for a while." ”

Meng Jing understood what Xue Jianxiao meant, although he was not worried about assassination, but he was always stared at by a group of people who wanted to put him to death, and no one would be able to stand it, not to mention that there were other forces behind the Sea Shark Sect that were making trouble.

Solve the Sea Shark Sect first!

"Lord Xue, what happened to the two things that this king asked you to check?"

Xue saw that he smiled and said, took out two booklets from his arms, and presented them.

"Xiaguan sent someone to check the money village that issued this silver ticket first, the money village is very clean behind it, it is not a big force, and it has nothing to do with the prince, and then, Xiaguan sent someone to trace the source of the money deposited in the money bank, and went to many money banks, and finally found the main owner - Lu's money bank. ”

Meng Jing was not too surprised when he heard this, he had not been in Pingzhou for a long time, and the people who had grievances were the Pingzhou families, these families were currently suffering from great injuries, and they would definitely not be able to make a big deal of 400,000 taels.

Then, excluding these people, only the Lu family is left who has a grudge with Meng Jing, but what Meng Jing can't figure out is that the Lu family wants to kill him for this grudge.

Meng Jing opened the first booklet, which recorded the source of the silver ticket in detail, and there were dozens of records, the Lu family deserved to be one of the four great families of the Jin Kingdom, and they did everything without leakage.

However, when they encountered Zhonglang, this kind of hard stubble, no matter how deep they hid, they would be dug out.

Meng Jing opened another book, which was a roster, much thicker than the previous one, recording the background of the guards in the palace.

Seeing this, Xue Jianxiao explained: "The prince asked the lower officials to check the details of the guards in the palace, and the lower officials transferred a large number of people, and checked inside and out, the background of the guards in the palace is relatively simple, and their loyalty to the palace is far higher than that of the officers and soldiers of the three major battalions in Pingzhou, but the prince is really like a god, and one person is indeed suspicious." ”

"Who?"

"Second Lieutenant Liu Yan. ”

The lieutenant is an official position in the army, and the military system of the Central Plains countries is similar, with the battalion as the basic combat unit, and a battalion of 3,000 people, and the highest official rank of each battalion is the lieutenant, and the lieutenant is the deputy of the lieutenant, and the authority is second only to the lieutenant.

The Jin State stipulated that the prince's personal guards had a battalion of 3,000 people, but the financial embarrassment of the Xinwang Mansion in recent years reduced this battalion of guards to 1,000 people today, and the post of lieutenant was vacant, and the lieutenant Liu Yan was already the actual lieutenant.

The palace guards are the most basic guarantee for Meng Jing's safety, if Liu Yan is a traitor, then it is really not difficult for him to secretly transfer the guards of the dormitory.

"Is there any evidence to prove that Liu Yan has a problem?"

Since Xue Jianxiao said it, he must have a certain degree of certainty, but Meng Jing still wanted to know the specific reason.

"Xiaguan found out that a few days ago, Deputy Lieutenant Liu purchased a mansion, and now the palace is tightening his belt to live, but he suddenly became rich, Xiaguan felt that there was another secret, and sent someone to secretly investigate, and found out the source of the silver ticket for Deputy Lieutenant Liu's purchase of the mansion. ”

Hearing the words "Lu's Qianzhuang", Meng Jing was completely sure that Liu Yan was the person who answered in Xiao Yuyan's mouth.

After pondering for a while, Meng Jing said lightly: "Don't startle the snake, just send someone to keep an eye on Liu Yan secretly, and we can plan it." ”

Xue Jianxiao's face was different when he heard this, this Liu Yan was not removed, and it would threaten Meng Jing's safety if he kept it at all times.

Xue Jianxiao thought about it for a while, thinking back to Meng Jing's previous style of doing things, he was by no means a careless person, and leaving Liu Yan must have other plans.

Thinking of this, Xue Jianxiao didn't ask any more questions, and continued to report:

"In the past two days, the officials have sent people to check Pingzhou City, dug out a lot of strongholds of the Sea Shark Sect, and arranged for people to keep an eye on them. ”

The Sea Shark Sect has been operating in Pingzhou and other coastal towns for many years, and its power is definitely more than what it seems, since it is already destined to be hostile, it must be uprooted once and for all, so as not to leave future troubles.

Now that troops are sent to encircle and suppress, they can only clear a few strongholds on the surface, and they will not hurt the foundation of the Sea Shark Sect.

Besides, using the army to deal with the masters of the Sea Shark Sect will definitely suffer heavy losses, even if it succeeds, the losses will have to be filled with silver, and such losses cannot be afforded by the Xinwang Mansion, which has just come out of the financial deficit.

In that case, it's better to kill those Sea Shark Sect masters with your own hands, and hand over the remaining minions to the army to clean up.

Meng Jing at night was still very easy to deal with a few ordinary monks, and he tried to find a way to lure out all those masters.

"Lord Xue, this king will transfer eight hundred guards from the palace for you to drive, and you will personally search the rest of the Sea Shark Sect's strongholds, just search, and don't have to conflict with them. ”

Xue Jianxiao was shocked when he heard this: "The prince thinks twice, and only two hundred guards are left to guard the palace, this is too dangerous." ”

"Don't worry, you just need to go and search, don't do it yet, you can start clearing the remnants of the Sea Shark Sect after late tomorrow night, as for the rest, this king has his own countermeasures. ”

If you want to invite you into the urn, you must first make the other party feel that there is an opportunity.

The Sea Shark Sect must be used to prevent accidents, in case something goes wrong with the Sword Demon Crazy Nine, those masters will assassinate the Sword Demon Crazy Nine instead.

Transfer everyone away, so that Meng Jing can perform his exercises, and he can also not reveal the identity of the sword demon.

Tomorrow night is the time for the Sea Shark Sect's assassination operation, and after Meng Jing has finished solving those masters, Xue Jianxiao and them are just going to clean up the mess.

Xue Jianxiao was very uneasy in his heart, he didn't understand what Meng Jing had to do, but he was ordered by Emperor Jin to protect and assist Meng Jing, but he left Meng Jing at a critical moment, which was a dereliction of duty.

"General Zhonglang plus eight hundred guards can already complete the search task, so let the lower officials stay in the palace. ”

Xue Jianxiao's strength is extraordinary, and staying in the palace will cause the fear of the Sea Shark Sect master, and he may also discover Meng Jing's other identity.

Meng Jing: "The search is very crucial, and Lord Xue must be in charge, this is an order." ”

Seeing Meng Jing's resolute expression, Xue Jianxiao could only reluctantly respond and retreat to gather the guards.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Meng Jing chasing him out, Xue Jianxiao thought that Meng Jing had changed his mind, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said secretly: The prince still hasn't lost his mind.

Unexpectedly, Meng Jing said: "After the extermination of the Yu Party, the stolen money found will be transported back to the palace in a lot of money, remember that it is a lot of money." ”
