Jingzhong, Dongcheng,

Song Kee Noodle House.

This noodle restaurant is still quite famous in Dongcheng, in addition to its own superb cooking skills, it has been praised by many great Confucians.

The so-called celebrity effect is like this.

The taste itself is excellent, and many literati are happy to come here.

However, this morning, the Song Ji Noodle Restaurant was particularly noisy.

Although it is a noodle restaurant, it also sells a variety of breakfast items.

Outside the noodle shop, many onlookers gathered.

In the noodle restaurant, a middle-aged man said loudly: "This guest officer, you ate two bowls of porridge, but only gave one bowl of money, this is a small business for me." ”

Wang Wenyan flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "Nonsense! ”

"I ate a bowl of it!"

"Do you think I look like someone who depends on your bowl of porridge?"

The shopkeeper of the noodle shop said aggrievedly: "You don't look like it, but you also have to give money!" ”

"I don't need to blackmail you for a bowl of porridge."

"It's just that if everyone is like you, how can I do this business?"

Wang Wenyan frowned, looked at the people gathered around him, and said in an unkind tone: "Shopkeeper, I come here every day, when did I owe you money, did you remember it wrong?" ”

Passing through Dongcheng, he would come here every three days for a simple breakfast before heading to Guozijian.

When people get old, their tastes will naturally change.

The breakfast at this Dongcheng noodle restaurant is quite good, which suits his appetite, which is why he often comes here.

But today's events are really weird.

At this moment, a cold drink came from outside.

"What are you doing here?"

As the voice came, several brocade guards walked over.

As soon as he saw Jinyiwei, everyone around him immediately scattered and got out of the way.

A brocade guard stepped forward and shouted, "What are you doing here?" ”

The people around him shrunk their necks, instinctively wanting to retreat.

The panel shopkeeper stepped forward and said busily: "Ladies and gentlemen, please be the master of the old man, this guest officer ate two bowls of porridge, but only gave one bowl of money." ”

Everyone was secretly surprised, and looked at the noodle shop shopkeeper with a look of hell.

Although Jinyiwei is also in charge of the security in the city, such a trivial matter, you trouble Jinyiwei and don't want to live?

But what happened next was a big surprise.

Jinyiwei, who was walking in front, was surprised: "Who eats porridge and doesn't give money!" ”

The shopkeeper of the noodle shop pointed at Wang Wenyan cooperatively.

The brocade guard who had just spoken immediately became angry and shouted, "Presumptuous! ”

"Daring!"

"Do you know who this person is in front of you?"

"This is Lord Wang, who once served as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and the prince of the country supervised the sacrificial wine, but he is a great Confucian in the world, will he eat without giving money?"

This shout was deafening.

Everyone around was stunned, looked at Wang Wenyan in disbelief, and exclaimed again and again.

I didn't expect this unattractive old man to have such a background.

Wang Wenyan felt a little bad when he saw Jinyiwei, and when he shouted loudly, his face changed slightly.

The shopkeeper of the noodle restaurant immediately knelt down and said tremblingly: "A few adults, the villain doesn't dare to say half a lie, if the villain lies, he is willing to accept the interrogation of Jinyiwei." ”

"Nonsense!" Wang Wenyan blew his beard angrily and glared, and said angrily: "The old man ate a bowl of porridge from you." ”

"Humph!" The brocade guard snorted coldly, looked at the noodle shop owner, and said angrily: "Get up!" ”

"Isn't it just a bowl of noodle money, the official will give it to you!"

"If you dare to talk nonsense in the future, be careful that this official will arrest you and put you in prison!"

The shopkeeper of the noodle restaurant responded again and again, with a look of grievance.

But the people around him looked strange and talked about it.

"Is it really an official? I can't even afford a bowl of breakfast. ”

"Cut, it's still a big literati, it's a lie."

Listening to the discussions around him, Wang Wenyan's face changed slightly, and he said angrily: "What are you talking nonsense, is it really that the old man can't afford to pay money?" ”

As he spoke, he took out the money bag and slapped it on the table, saying, "The money is for you!" ”

"The excess shall be rewarded to you."

After that, Wang Wenyan planned to leave here.

At this time, the shopkeeper of the noodle restaurant said cautiously: "I only need my porridge money." ”

The sound was not loud, but it clearly fell into the ears of everyone.

For a moment, the eyes of the people around him became even more weird.

Wang Wenyan's face was ugly, and he hurriedly boarded the carriage.

……

In the restaurant opposite, by the window, a person looked down calmly.

Tang Qi stood on one side, and on the other side stood a little red in the Central Plains.

Lin Mang slowly retracted his gaze and chuckled: "Let the people in the rivers and lakes of all cities move, and spread the news as soon as possible." ”

Tang Qi bowed down and looked at the carriage in the distance with pity.

"By the way, the rest is arranged, right?"

Tang Qi whispered: "Guanglu Siqing's concubine has been sent to Wang Wenyan's room, I believe the news will come out soon." ”

Lin Mang put down the teacup with a smile, got up and patted Tang's shoulder, and walked downstairs: "Good job!" ”

To deal with these literati, it is natural to start with the aspects that they attach more importance to.

How can a person with a bad reputation and bad morals be convincing.

The people are foolish.

The news will only become more and more exaggerated.

As long as there is a desire to add fuel to the fire, within three days, Wang Wenyan will be completely discredited.

A literati who has lost his reputation is hated by people, and it is naturally not difficult to solve him.

……

Back in Beizhen Fusi, Lin Mang handled some official duties, as well as various tasks.

These official documents are not only collected from the capital, but also from thousands of households in various places, and they all need him to make a decision and issue approval.

After several hours of busyness, I finally finished processing all the official documents.

Sometimes I really feel that sitting in this seat is quite tiring.

It's no wonder that the late stage in the palace is directly rotten, compared to the things of Jinyiwei, it is much simpler.

Tang Qi walked in with tea and put it down carefully.

Lin Mang pinched his eyebrows and asked, "How is the matter about recruitment?" ”

Tang Qi replied: "The official document has been sent to various armies. ”

"My lord, do you really want to recruit people from the rivers and lakes?"

Lin Mang took a sip of tea and said calmly: "It's just to give them a temporary identity." ”

The selection of Jinyiwei's personnel is extremely strict, and they are all innocent people with civilian identities and elites in various armies.

Recruiting people from the rivers and lakes is also the first time in the world.

However, there are also many talented people among these Jianghu people, and they may be able to come in handy in the future.

Lin Mang put down the teacup and asked, "What is that Zhong Qianhu doing?" ”

There are eight thousand households in Beizhen Fusi, He Xinjiang has been abolished, and his seat is naturally vacant, and now only that Zhong Jing'an is left.

Compared with other Jinyiwei, this person is far better than ordinary people in terms of background and qualifications.

If he hadn't appeared, the contenders for the position of the North Town Fusi in the future would be among the two.

Tang Qi replied: "According to the report of the spies, he has recently been very close to some ministers of the DPRK and China. ”

Lin Mang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered: "It seems that he still doesn't give up!" ”

However, he can also understand that after all, the Jinyi Wei Pacification Envoy is in a high position, and who has no idea in his heart.

Especially for people with such deep backgrounds.

If he hadn't returned to Beijing safely this time, He Daojing would not have come to the door in person to make amends.

Lin Mang got up and said with a smile: "I just like people with head iron." ”

"I'll go to the palace!"

Tang Qi bowed down.

……

Zhenfu Sinanyuan,

In the hall, several people sat together, with a faint trace of sadness between their eyebrows.

At the top of the seat, there sat a man in his thirties with a cold face.

This person is none other than the thousand households of the Fusi Division of Beizhen, Zhong Jing'an.

Under the hall are several of his henchmen.

One of them stood up and hugged his fists and said, "My lord, now that Lin Mang has returned, do I want to go and pay my respects?" ”

Although they are all Zhong Jing'an's henchmen, now that Lin Mangwei is famous, who is not afraid.

If they weren't for Zhong Jing'an's henchmen, they would have changed their doors a long time ago.

But if you didn't go to the last banquet, you must have already hated the other party and lost the best opportunity.

Zhong Jingan took in everyone's expressions, and there was a burst of anger in his heart.

The position of the pacification envoy, he has been planning for a long time!

I thought that Lin Mang would be abolished after leaving Beijing, and it would be easy to take this position when the time came.

But I didn't expect this person not only to come back alive, but also to make a huge reputation.

With his own strength, he changed the rivers and lakes of Beizhili, destroyed several Jianghu sects in a row, and even won the supervision power of the Jianghu sect for Jinyiwei, and now the prestige of Fusi in the entire Beizhen is very high.

But if he goes to refuge now, he will not be ridiculed?

He can't pull this face!

Why!

That Lin Mang is only from a hundred households, and even his damn father is a small general banner.

"Peng!" Zhong Jing'an slammed his fist on the table, glanced at everyone, and said coldly: "What are you afraid of!" ”

"With this official here, you can't have an accident!"

Zhong Jingan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered: "He can't be arrogant for long!" ”

"The last incident has violated the bottom line of various nobles, and this capital is not as simple as he thought."

Several people in the hall were stunned and looked at Zhong Jing'an in surprise.

However, Zhong Jingan obviously didn't mean to say much, and said meaningfully: "Look at it, he won't be able to sit in this seat for long." ”

……

Leaving Beizhen Fusi, Lin Mang went straight to the palace.

Outside the palace, the token was lit and he entered the palace smoothly.

After entering the palace, Lin Mang went to see Wanli first.

After that, under the guidance of a eunuch, he went to the treasury of the palace.

The treasure house in this palace contains many treasures collected from the rivers and lakes, including many divine weapons, and even relics from the previous dynasty.

Soon, Lin Mang came to the front of the treasure house in the palace.

The so-called treasure house is actually a huge hall.

The eunuch who led Lin Mang forward bowed down and said, "Lord Lin, there is a treasure trove ahead." ”

Lin Mang bowed slightly.

Looking at the guards patrolling the perimeter, there were about hundreds of them.

The number of people seems to be small, but these are all martial artists of the Innate Realm, and they are strong and strong.

And when he came, he felt the aura of a grandmaster in the vicinity.

It's a lot, but it's there.

However, the palace is not something that ordinary people can trespass, let alone come here.

Lin Mang stepped forward and pushed open the gate of the palace.

As soon as he pushed it away, a puff of dust came to his face.

The true elements around the body surged, automatically sweeping away the dust.

Lin Mang's face was speechless.

It's been a long time since no one has been to this place.

Walking into the hall, there are bookshelves in the center of the main hall, but those bookshelves are also covered with dust, obviously no one has cleaned them for a long time.

On the bookshelf at the front are weapons, all sorts of strange ones.

But he didn't lack weapons now, and these things were of little use to him.

What's more, he only repairs knives, and there are not many knives among them, and they are not as good as his embroidered spring knife and full moon scimitar.

After walking around the main hall, Lin Mang's footsteps suddenly paused, and his eyes looked at the bookshelf on the right.

There are some rare treasures stored here, which are relatively special things.

On a bookshelf is a brocade box.

Vaguely, he felt that something in the brocade box seemed to attract him.

Open the brocade box, in which is an arm is placed.

The arm glowed with a golden light, showing no sign of decay.

Lin Mangtong shrank suddenly.

Gently pick up your arm, a look of surprise on your face.

"Innate Gang Qi!"

What was recorded on this arm turned out to be part of the cultivation method of the innate Gang Qi.

"Cultivate!"

[Energy Points-50000]

The defensive divine skill of Innate Gang Qi gave him great convenience.

In the same rank, there was no one who could break the defense of the innate gangqi.

It's a pity that what he obtained at the beginning was only a broken product, and he lacked the cultivation content after the second realm of the grandmaster.

I didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected gain in the treasury of the palace.

After a moment, Lin Mang smiled and lowered his arm, smiling.

"Boom!"

The true element in the body surged, forming a huge shield outside the body, and then quietly disappeared in an instant.

Lin Mang wandered around the hall again and stopped in front of the corner of the bookshelf.

That's an arm!

【Mojia Trap Arm】

Coming from the treasure of the Mo family's organ master, the entire arm is a first-class divine weapon.

Lin Mang pondered for a moment, picked it up, turned and walked out of the treasure house.

But just as he was about to leave, a chuckle suddenly came from behind him.

"Lord Lin, please stay!"

Lin Mang looked at the person who came, and arched his hand in a little surprise: "Father-in-law Cao." ”

The person who came was Cao Zhengchun, the governor of Dongchang.

Cao Zhengchun smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "Our family has seen Lord Lin." ”

Lin Mang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a smile: "I don't know what happened to Lord Cao?" ”

Cao Zhengchun looked around and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please.

"Lord Lin, how about a different place?"

"Yes!" Lin Mang bowed slightly.

The two came to a remote pavilion in the palace, and Cao Zhengchun smiled and said, "Lord Lin, you have found a big trouble for our Dongchang this time." ”

Although he was laughing, there was a hint of coldness in his words.

In this incident of Yaowang Valley, the incident in the East Factory almost caused chaos in the rivers and lakes, and it was obviously ineffective in handling things, and he was punished by the saint.

Lin Mang chuckled lightly and said in surprise: "What does Lord Cao mean by this?" ”

There was a strong breeze blowing all around.

The atmosphere gradually became more subtle.

Cao Zhengchun smiled and asked meaningfully, "Are those Jianghu people really killed by Liu Xi?" ”

Lin Mang held the knife and asked with a smile, "Could it be that Lord Cao thinks I killed him?" ”

Cao Zhengchun chuckled lightly and said quietly: "Lord Lin is a good method." ”

"But Lord Lin, it's a good thing to be young and vigorous, but sometimes you still need to master the square inch."

Lin Mang walked towards the outside of the pavilion and laughed: "Lord Cao, if you are not angry, then you are still called a young man!" ”

"There are talented people from generation to generation!"

Looking at Lin Mang's distant back, the smile on Cao Zhengchun's face disappeared little by little, and there was more coldness in his eyes.

His expression was unusually cold.

Your Majesty trusts Jinyiwei even more now!

Lin Mang started from the end of the micro, helpless, and had no friends in the court, without so many complicated relationships, relying only on imperial power, and won the trust of His Majesty.

What Lin Mang did, did His Majesty really not know?

It's just that His Majesty chose to acquiesce in all this.

The rise of the East and West No. 2 Factory has made His Majesty faintly biased towards Jinyiwei now.

Lin Mang walked, his steps paused slightly, and he glanced back.

Cao Zhengchun's appearance was expected by him.

The rise of Jinyiwei is bound to infringe on the interests of the East and West No. 2 Factory.

In the past, there was no East and West Second Factory, and Jinyiwei was covering the sky with one hand.

Now that the power is three, everyone wants to be the real boss.

Cao Zhengchun, as the overseer of the East Factory, if he can sit back and watch the rise of Jinyiwei, there will really be a ghost.

Lin Mang chuckled lightly and walked out of the palace.

Back in Beizhen Fusi, Lin Mang summoned Tang Qi.

Tang Qi walked into the hall and saluted respectfully: "My lord, you call me?" ”

"Hmm." Lin Mang bowed slightly, pointed to the iron box on the table, and said, "For you, try it!" ”

Tang Qi opened the iron box curiously, looked at the contents of the box, and said in surprise: "This is ......"

Lin Mang picked up the tea on the table and said slowly: "The Mo family's arm is comparable to a high-grade divine soldier. ”

Tang Qi was startled, his eyes were slightly red, and he said gratefully: "My lord......"

Lin Mang raised his hand to interrupt and said calmly: "Put it on and try it." ”

Tang Qi silently picked up the mechanical arm and followed Lin Mang for so long, he naturally knew Lin Mang's character, and he didn't say more.

Take out the trap arm in the box and put it on your left arm.

The moment it touched the shoulder, there was a sound of gears turning in the arm, and then the end of the arm and the shoulder were rigidly combined.

Tang Qi tried to move, and was surprised to find that it went smoothly.

The palm of his hand suddenly turned, and in an instant, it was combined into a knife, and then turned into a long sword.

Lin Mang was also amazed.

There's something about this Mojia machine creation.

Tang Qi knelt on one knee and said gratefully: "Thank you, sir!" ”

Lin Mang nodded and asked, "How is Wang Wenyan's matter?" ”

Tang Qi got up and replied: "The news has been dispersed, and the reaction is very intense. ”

"We have found a few literati to spread the news in the major academies."

Lin Mang put down the teacup with a smile and chuckled: "Next, let's wait for the show to begin!" ”

……

Time passed quietly.

During this time, a major event happened in the capital.

The concubines of the current Confucian King Wenyan and Guanglu Siqing were not clear, and it is said that they were caught red-handed.

Immediately afterwards, various scandals about Wang Wenyan broke out one after another.

For a time, Wang Wenyan was discredited.

In Beijing, it is often seen that some scholars loudly insult Wang Wenyan.

is the so-called wall down and everyone pushes it, and there are many of them who want to step on Wang Wenyan's reputation and take the position.

Literati, this has been the case since ancient times!

……

Dongcheng, in the courtyard.

Wang Wenyan walked into the room angrily, his face gloomy.

"Peng!"

The teacup on the table was thrown to the ground by him angrily, and he scolded angrily: "Damn it! ”

"It's all a bunch of idiots!"

"A bunch of ignorant pariahs!"

This is clearly someone framed and framed!

Wang Wenyan scolded and never regained his elegant image.

Anyone who goes out every day is pointed at by others, and they will not feel good.

At this moment, outside the palace, a group of brocade-clothed guards rode their horses.

"Peng!"

Several brocade guards brutally broke open the door and broke directly into the mansion.

The guards in the palace just wanted to stop it, but when they saw that it was the brocade guard, they had no choice but to do it.

Now in this capital, Jinyiwei is famous, especially the slaughter of many Jianghu sects some time ago, which is even more terrifying.

Listening to the movement outside the house, Wang Wenyan rushed out angrily and shouted: "Who is making a loud noise outside!" ”

As soon as Wang Wenyan pushed open the door, he was greeted by a group of murderous brocade guards.

"Wang Wenyan, you've made a mistake!"

A brocade guard shouted and sneered: "Take it away!" ”

"Wait!" Wang Wenyan's face changed slightly, and he said coldly: "What do you want to do!" ”

"Humph!" Jinyiwei, who broke into the mansion, snorted coldly and said coldly: "You connived at the servants in the mansion to kill people, come with me and wait!" ”

As soon as the words fell, he couldn't help but speak, and dragged Wang Wenyan to leave.

At this moment, many people have gathered outside the house.

Seeing Wang Wenyan being taken away, everyone pointed fingers, but more of them were insulting Wang Wenyan.

Preconceived notions, as soon as I saw Wang Wenyan being taken away by Jinyiwei, the first thing that came to mind was that Wang Wenyan had committed some major crime.

The news soon came out, causing a great storm in Beijing.

After all, Wang Wenyan is a famous literati with a different identity.

But at this moment, no one dares to take the lead.

The main reason is that Wang Wenyan is notorious during this period, if he comes forward at this moment, wouldn't he be stigmatizing himself for nothing.

Hearing that Wang Wenyan was taken away by the Jinyi guard, the hundred officials in the court were furious again, and they were all speculating about what this madman wanted to do.

……

Edict of Prison.

Lin Mang came slowly, and the surrounding brocade guards saluted one after another.

The carbon fire swayed gently.

Wang Wenyan looked at the people around him and said angrily: "Let me out!" ”

"Do you know who I am?"

"Why are you arresting me!"

A chuckle came.

Lin Mang came slowly and said, "Lord Wang, don't shout!" ”

"If you go to prison, no one will be able to leave alive without the order of your own official."

Seeing Lin Mang, Wang Wenyantong's hole shrunk, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

Behind him, a brocade guard brought a chair.

Lin Mang sat down casually, looked at Wang Wenyan, and said calmly: "Lord Wang, tell me about your crimes." ”

"I don't think you want to try this Jinyi Guard's punishment."

Wang Wenyan was shocked and angry: "You are abusing your private power!" ”

"Aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will blame you?"

"Why are you arresting me!"

The smile on Lin Mang's face gradually smiled, and he sneered: "Do you really think that I can't find out what you did in the capital?" ”

"Now this official is just giving back to him in his own way."

Wang Wenyan's face changed slightly, he snorted coldly, and said coldly: "What are you talking about, I don't know!" ”

Lin Mang glanced at Tang Qi and said softly, "Use torture." ”

Wang Wenyan suddenly lost color, and hurriedly said, "Lin Mang, what do you want to do?" ”

"You can't torture me!"

Lin Mang's tone was solemn: "What did you just call this official?" ”

Wang Wenyan was speechless for a while.

Seeing several brocade guards enter the prison, Wang Wenyan said in horror: "Slow, I say!" ”

Lin Mang chuckled: "It would have been nice to cooperate like this earlier." ”

Wang Wenyan and Yang Hexiu have a close relationship, and they must be implicated.

He is a good breakthrough, and he just takes this opportunity to uproot Yang Hexiu's vein.

A quarter of an hour later,

Tang Qi handed over the charge and said softly: "My lord, it's all here." ”

Lin Mangyan glanced at it and chuckled: "It seems that there is still an unexpected joy." ”

At this moment, a brocade guard from the outside world hurriedly came and quickly said, "My lord, Commander Yuan invites you to go." ”

Lin Mang frowned slightly and asked, "Did you say what happened?" ”

"Nope!"

Lin Mang told Tang Qi a few times, left the edict, and rushed to Yuan Changqing's courtyard.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Yuan Changqing with a solemn face.

"Lord Yuan!" Lin Mang arched his hand and said in surprise: "What happened?" ”

Yuan Changqing said with a solemn face: "The Queen Mother has been robbed!" ”
