The county office, inside the hall.

Lin Mang took a cup of tea and tasted it leisurely, holding a pair of poems in his hand.

This is what Gao Cunshan left behind before his death.

"The eunuchs are flying and the temples are remnant, and the eunuchs are guarding the cold.

It is not easy to learn to be an honest official, but it is also difficult to follow the claims.

It's a short shame that there is no new rain and dew, and I'm too busy to change my old clothes.

When to be idle and return to the goal, put the fishing rod in front of the Pingzi platform. ”

The funeral was over, and the Gao County Commander was buried on the top of a mountain not far from Yanshan City.

It is said that it was the cemetery he personally chose for himself during his lifetime.

There, he could always look at the county seat he once ruled, and look at the corner of the Ming Dynasty.

With this Gao County Commander in front, from now on, I'm afraid any Yanshan County Commander will feel pressure, right?

He can't forget,

At the time of the burial, the people who knelt at the foot of the mountain and could not see the end at a glance.

A heartfelt cry.

That scene moved his heart.

The country that once fascinated him doesn't seem to be rotten.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the hall.

"Lord Lin!" Li Jinzhong came from outside the door and arched his hand with a smile.

Lin Mang put down the teacup in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and said lightly: "Master Li, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Hearing the deep meaning of Lin Mang's words, Li Jinzhong smiled helplessly and explained: "Lord Lin, there are some things I don't know. ”

"You also know that the decisions of the upper echelons are not something you and I can interfere with after all."

Lin Mang smiled slightly and said, "Lord Li is serious, Lin doesn't mean that. ”

The East and West No. 2 Factory has not appeared for a long time, and he has already had a guess in his heart.

They are the main force that truly exterminates the White Lotus Sect.

And they're just targets on the surface.

To put it bluntly, they are a pawn.

This is also the reason why the White Lotus Sect disciples they met are not strong.

Li Jinzhong glanced at Lin Mang deeply, didn't say anything more, but asked, "Regarding Li Mingcheng and them, I don't know what you can do?" ”

He also came to Yanshan County to find out that Lin Mang had actually beheaded the group of noble sons and daughters of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Lunatic!

Even he had to admit that this Lin Baihu was really crazy.

Lin Mang took the tea and said calmly: "I haven't done anything wrong, what are you afraid of?" ”

Li Jinzhong's face froze.

Although that's true, but you have beheaded all the sons of other people, you can imagine how crazy those guys in the capital will be.

At this moment, Tang Qi came from outside the hall, first glanced at Li Jinzhong on the side, and then arched his hand and said, "My lord, the evidence of the crime has been collected." ”

Lin Mang bowed slightly, got up and said, "Go back to Beijing." ”

The corners of Li Jinzhong's mouth twitched, and he said secretly in his heart: "How many crimes have been placed on them." ”

……

Capital

Beizhen Fusi,

When Lin Mang stepped into the gate of Fusi in Beizhen with a knife on his shoulder,

There was a sudden silence all around.

Suddenly, countless pairs of eyes converged.

In fact, the speed of news spread was far faster than the speed at which Lin Mang and his party returned to Beijing.

Lin Mang's feat in Yanshan is now well known!

The name of "killing gods" resounded throughout Beijing!

Ping Ma bandits, destroy the white lotus rudder, and behead the son of the noble family......

At this moment, a brocade-clothed guard came over and said in a deep voice: "Lord Lin, please appease your lordship." ”

"Got it!"

Lin Mang said, but he didn't have the idea of leaving with him, but walked straight to the west courtyard.

The brocade guard frowned and said, "Lord Lin, where are you going?" The pacification envoy is waiting for you in the lobby. ”

Lin Mang's footsteps suddenly paused, and he stared at the brocade guard slightly.

The eyes are like a cold pool for ten thousand years, and the cold is frightening.

Ling Yan's cold eyes seemed to say, "Then wait!" ”

For a moment, everyone in the courtyard subconsciously held their breath and condensed, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

It wasn't until the footsteps were far away that they breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Lin Mang returned to the west courtyard to wash up, changed into clean clothes, and then walked unhurriedly to the lobby of the Zhenfu Division.

"Your Excellency!"

Lin Mang stood outside the door and arched his hand.

It's just that

The next moment, a hint of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes.

On the Taishi chair, Cheng Hongnian was holding a cup of tea and blowing gently, while on the table, there was an embroidered spring knife and a set of official uniforms.

Cheng Hongnian put down the teacup, stood up, and said with a solemn expression: "Jinyi Wei Baihu Lin Mang takes the order!" ”

Lin Mang was slightly stunned.

Then he knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice: "The minister accepts the order!" ”

Cheng Hongnian looked down at Lin Mang, took the holy decree, and looked solemn: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: Beizhen Fusi Jinyi Wei Baihu Lin Mang exterminated the White Lotus Sect rudder and recovered Yanshan County. ”

Lin Mang was stunned again.

Promotion?

To be honest, this was completely unexpected.

And it was directly promoted to a thousand households.

Cheng Hongnian glanced at Lin Mang and said calmly: "Don't you think it's unbelievable?" ”

Lin Mang: "Yes! ”

Cheng Hongnian turned around, took the official uniform and embroidered spring knife, and handed it to Lin Mang.

Lin Mang got up, bowed slightly, and took it with both hands.

Cheng Hongnian smiled slightly, took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to him, and said, "From today on, you are a thousand households in the West Courtyard and take over Zhao Jingzhong's position." ”

"But you should understand how hot this seat is, I don't know how many people and how many thousands of households are staring."

Lin Mang glanced at Cheng Hongnian deeply.

Obviously, this seat is not so easy to sit in, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a hot potato.

Lin Mang opened the secret letter in his hand, and his pupils shrank.

"The first village in the world!"

"That's right." Cheng Hongnian bowed slightly and said, "If you want to sit in this position, you must go to the first village in the world." ”

"Do you know what Your Majesty likes best?"

Lin Mang pondered for a moment, and a flash of light flashed in his mind.

Money!

In the Ming Dynasty, each of its reigning emperors had their own hobbies.

And the favorite of His Majesty today is undoubtedly money.

Cheng Hongnian smiled and said: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the world's richest Zhuang is rivaling the country, and His Majesty would like to see it." ”

Lin Mang arched his hand and said, "I understand." ”

Cheng Hongnian was very pleased.

Talking to smart people is a matter of convenience.

Cheng Hongnian sat down again and said lightly: "But you have to be clear about one thing, the background of the first village in the world is not simple, and the strength is not weak, you can reconsider." ”

"No need."

Lin Mang casually arched his hand, turned around and left.

He naturally knows who is behind the first village in the world.

Looking at the back of Lin Mang leaving, Cheng Hongnian suddenly laughed in the hall.

There was a hint of relief in the laughter.

Behind the screen, Yuan Changqing walked out with a complicated expression.

"Is it worth exchanging your position as a pacification envoy for a thousand households?"

"It's worth it!"

"It's well worth it!" Cheng Hongnian laughed indifferently: "You know, I can't sit in this seat anymore, why not play a little bit of its role." ”

"The cabinet's impeachment of me has piled up as high as a mountain."

"In the future, if you sit in this position, with his assistance, I will be able to leave with confidence."
