Volume 1 Chapter 495 Procuratorial Tasks
Early the next morning, Ren Tianxiang left the princess's mansion and came to the east gate of the palace alone, where there were already palace attendants waiting here, waiting for his arrival.
Ren Tianxiang knew very well that His Majesty the Emperor knew his whereabouts, so he decided to be more attentive to His Majesty the Emperor and try to meet the saint as early as possible, but don't let His Majesty the Emperor wait in a hurry, so that the relationship between them, which had finally eased up, became tense again.
However, now that Ren Tianxiang has taken over the task from His Majesty the Emperor, I am afraid that he will not have much time, so he will set off from Star City to the south again. God is pitiful, he has just experienced nine deaths from the Dragon King Empire (in fact, he didn't) and finally returned to the Star Emperor Kingdom, at most, even if he rested for a month in the preparation of the military parade, and now he has to go to the south again - which made him think about whether he was too busy now when he arrived late yesterday.
But then he figured it out, just be busy, anyway, he's busy with his own things. As long as he can gather all the power of the star beads as soon as possible, his cultivation should be able to reach the phantom level at that time, so that he can not only complete the task assigned to him by the Dragon Society, but also have enough strength to accompany Xinglingluo and protect the Star Emperor Kingdom that she has in mind.
Now that I think about it, in fact, my life is already very good. At least for now, going to the south, whether it is to complete the task given to him by Xingheng or to obtain the power of Wuqu Xingjun, there is no danger, and even if he really encounters danger, with his immortal-level cultivation, even if he encounters it, there will be no major problems - this should also be the reason why His Majesty Xingheng will hand over the task to him, and his current strength has reached a realm where he can barely protect himself.
Under the leadership of the palace attendants, Ren Tianxiang quickly walked through the courtyards in the palace and came to the door of the emperor's imperial study.
This was the first time he had entered the palace through the east gate, and before that, because it was convenient, all the people who walked through the north gate were the north gate. Compared with the north gate, the east gate enters the palace to the emperor's imperial study much closer than the north gate, and there is no need to avoid those dignitaries, because the east gate will not be close to those halls.
Zhang Ying was already waiting for Ren Tianxiang outside the door of the imperial study at this time, the shadow guard who was most trusted by His Majesty Xingheng had probably already been notified by the waiter who brought Ren Tianxiang in, and he had already informed His Majesty Xingheng, so he stood outside the door of the imperial study as if he had been waiting for a long time.
After seeing Ren Tianxiang coming, Zhang Ying gently knocked on the door of the imperial study and said inside: "Your Majesty, Ren Tianxiang is here." ”
Xingheng's voice came from the imperial study: "Let him in." ”
According to Xingheng's order, Zhang Ying opened the door of the imperial study, and then said to Ren Tianxiang: "At the request of Your Majesty, after you enter, I will set up a soundproof magic circle around the imperial study. Do not anger Your Majesty. ”
"I understand, thank you Zhang Ying. Ren Tianxiang bowed to Zhang Ying slightly, thanked him, and then walked into the imperial study without looking back.
The door closed, and a faint force enveloped the entire imperial study, and in an instant, all the noise outside disappeared, and in the entire imperial study, there was only the sound of the paper turning the party when Xingheng was reading.
"Wait a minute. Xingheng didn't raise his head, but just looked at the fold in his hand seriously, and said, "After reading this piece, we'll talk about your business, you can sit down first." ”
"Yes. Ren Tianxiang nodded obediently, and then sat on the chair placed in front of Xingheng's desk, sitting opposite Xingheng.
The number of words in this document in Xingheng's hand was a bit much, and after Ren Tianxiang came in, he heard Xingheng flip through more than ten pages. And when reading the fold, Xingheng still held a brush dipped in red ink in his hand, and from time to time he still reviewed the fold twice.
After about twenty minutes, Xingheng finally wrote the word "read" on the last page of this recital, and then placed the closed folding on the stack of folding on his right hand, and then looked at Ren Tianxiang.
"I didn't expect you to come to me so soon. Xingheng crossed his hands on the desk, looked at Ren Tianxiang, and said, "I thought you would rest for a few more days...... I heard that the shadow said, you only returned to Star City yesterday. ”
Wen Ying in Xingheng's mouth, Ren Tianxiang had some impressions, Xing Lingluo told him before, this Wen Ying is a shadow guard who controls all the shadow guard eyeliner in the entire Star City, among His Majesty Xingheng's shadow guard troops, except for Zhang Ying, the head of the shadow guard, Wen Ying has the highest status, and what can be compared with Wen Ying's status is Qian Ying, who is second only to Zhang Ying in strength and is responsible for protecting important people.
"It's really Star City that I only returned to yesterday afternoon. Ren Tianxiang scratched his head and said, "It's just that I still want to finish the task earlier." After all, there are only two months left before Ling'er's coming-of-age ceremony, and I want to try to be able to rush back from the south to participate in Ling'er's coming-of-age ceremony. ”
"I'm glad you have such thoughts. Xingheng nodded, and then took out a fold from his desk drawer, held it with the aura of heaven and earth, and passed it to Ren Tianxiang, "Take a look for yourself first." ”
With Xingheng's instructions, Ren Tianxiang was not ambiguous, and directly opened this recital and read the Xinghuang text written on it.
After seeing the title of this recital, "Report on the Investigation of Zou Chang, the City Lord of Linshi City in Xifeng Province", Ren Tianxiang couldn't help but give Xing Lingluo a thumbs up in his heart. In fact, it can already be guessed from this title that the next task that Xinheng will give him should be to investigate the problem of this city lord of Linshi City.
Xing Heng, who Xing Lingluo guessed last night, wanted to hand over some matters from the procuratorial department to Ren Tianxiang to deal with, just to cultivate him and prepare for him to stay in one of the three departments of the imperial court in the future.
In fact, the four big men who can enter the three ministries of the first government do not necessarily require how strong their ability is, the first condition for selecting them is the emperor's henchmen, and only in this way can they be loyal to the emperor. And Ren Tianxiang, as Xinglingluo's future husband, will also be named the Duke of the Empire when Xinglingluo is named the county lord by Xing Lingluo, and has the right to participate in politics. And at this time, there is a relationship with Xing Lingluo, no matter how unwilling others are, Ren Tianxiang will become Xing Lie's most trusted henchman.
After praising the star spirit in his heart, Ren Tianxiang looked at the back of the fold again. This memo details the whole process of investigating the city lord named Zou Chang, but at present, this investigation team has encountered some things, resulting in no way to carry out the next investigation, so they can only write back to His Majesty and ask His Majesty Xingheng to decide.
This Zou Chang is currently the city lord of Linshi City in Xifeng Province, and he is from the authentic Prime Minister's Mansion. Twenty-three years ago, after completing a ten-year internship in the Prime Minister's Mansion, he gave up the opportunity to participate in the court examination and became a regular official, and was sent to Linshi City in Xifeng Province as the deputy city lord of Linshi City, and officially became the city lord of Linshi City seventeen years ago.
In the course of this purge, because Jincheng, the capital of Xifeng Province, found a corruption case involving Zou Chang, the procuratorial department applied to the procuratorial department to investigate Zou Chang. Because the city lord was involved, the procuratorial department was very concerned about this matter and directly appointed a first-level prosecutor to lead the team to investigate.
However, during this half-month period, the special prosecutor of the Public Prosecutor's Department did not detect any problems. And just when the special first-level prosecutor was about to be stationed in Linshicheng to investigate, the first-level prosecutor was assassinated, causing the investigation task to be temporarily suspended, and the procuratorial team was temporarily withdrawn to Jincheng to wait for the next order.
The assassination of a first-level prosecutor is not a trivial matter, so after the procuratorial department got the news a few days ago, it immediately drafted a notebook, and Lin Zhengkun, the chief procurator general of the procuratorial department, personally delivered the notebook - the delivery of the notebook happened the day before Xingheng left Star City and went to Qinguan.
After reading the twists and turns, Ren Tianxiang had basically determined that there was definitely something wrong with this Linshi City Lord named Zou Chang, otherwise it would not have been so at the right time, and the first-level prosecutor was assassinated when he was about to investigate deeply.
It stands to reason that in order for the inspector to be able to deal with various situations, the minimum requirement for the first-level inspector of the military department and the first-level inspector of the prosecutor's department is the ghost level. And now, the first-level prosecutor has been assassinated, and it is clear that the other party has a more powerful monk in charge.
Buying murder or murder, or is it a dead soldier cultivated by Zou Chang himself? This Ren Tianxiang is not sure for the time being, but since he can assassinate a first-level prosecutor, it is worth Ren Tianxiang's caution.
However, if it was the former, Ren Tianxiang could relax a little - according to the price in the black market of the Star Emperor Kingdom, the price of assassinating an immortal-level monk was dozens of times that of assassinating a ghost-level monk. After all, when a monk reaches the immortal level, then he has basically become a strategic resource of the Star Emperor Kingdom, and the Imperial Court of the Star Emperor Kingdom will never allow an immortal-level monk to be assassinated within the empire.
And if you want to assassinate an immortal-level monk, then at least you have to be a saint-level monk to be able to deal with it silently-looking at the entire Star Emperor Kingdom, if you say that you are a noble, or if there is such a monk under the officials, Ren Tianxiang will still believe it, if it is a saint-level cultivator...... That almost couldn't exist.
Thinking of this, Ren Tianxiang also relaxed, there is an immortal level, and it is still him and Luo Si who are two immortal levels, I believe that Zou Chang will not do anything stupid.
And now, I am waiting for him to parachute into Jincheng on behalf of the procuratorial department, go to join the team of the procuratorial department, and then show his strength.
