170. No one's face is good
"My lord, this is a secret message sent today!"
In the lobby of the pacification envoy, Tang Qi handed over a secret report.
Lin Mang put down the teacup, swept it carefully, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the situation in Jiangnan is more serious than I imagined." ”
Jiangnan is rich.
The local wealthy clans are powerful.
Especially the two armies in Jiangnan also made those many wealthy families have a deep heritage and become more unscrupulous.
In Nanjing, there are many court officials who go to "retire".
No matter how clear the official is, when he arrives in Jiangnan, no one believes him if he is not greedy.
What's more, the Ming Dynasty was already pitiful, and if he was not greedy, most of them would be poor.
Hai Rui is Qing, but he is a second-class official, and after his death, he only has ten taels of silver, and he can't even afford a good coffin.
Since those officials want to be greedy, then the Jinyi guard is unavoidable.
Many local brocade guards have long been in collusion with the big families and officials.
Investigating Jinyiwei seems to be an internal matter of Jinyiwei, but in fact, it has moved the interests of too many people.
The various power groups will inevitably not want to see it.
Although I had expected it for a long time, I still didn't expect it to be so serious.
This time, the imperial court re-implemented the new policy, which also met with great resistance in Jiangnan.
If Zhang Juzheng is still here, with his wrist, it is naturally not a difficult thing.
And his new policy is already moving the interests of the civilian bureaucracy, how can it be implemented smoothly.
Lin Mang pondered for a moment, put down the secret report, and said, "Let them continue to investigate, and there is no need to have any scruples." ”
"In addition, let Yan Jue lead people down to the south of the Yangtze River, and let him take a little of them with him in the Central Plains."
"If you don't make a decision, you can decide for yourself!"
After the year, he will go to Liaodong, and he can't take care of the matter of investigating Jinyiwei for the time being.
However, since it has been decided to thoroughly investigate Jinyiwei, it is impossible to stop halfway.
Tang Qi nodded and said, "My lord, the new batch of Jianghu people has been selected, do you want to see it?" ”
"Is there a Grandmaster?"
Tang Qi smiled helplessly: "No." ”
Even the grandmasters on the rivers and lakes are very few, and they are all famous figures, how can they easily join Jinyiwei.
"Then you don't need to." Lin Mang waved his hand and said, "You can handle this matter." ”
The mid-to-high-end combat power of the Zhenfu Division is still too small.
Or rather, the North Town Fusi he controls.
In the entire Zhenfu Division, apart from him, there is not a single grandmaster in the Jinyi Guard.
This is also the reason why Jinyiwei's prestige in the rivers and lakes has lost over the years.
In contrast, the East and West No. 2 Factory has long recruited masters from the rivers and lakes and has huge power.
In particular, Dongchang is secretly involved in many Jianghu sects.
Even the military has a lot of interference.
Last time in the Medicine King Valley, that Lord Chen sent two Three Realm Grandmasters.
Even the West Factory has such strength, and the power of the East Factory is bound to be even greater.
"Ugh." Lin Mang sighed lightly, feeling a slight headache.
The cultivation of a grandmaster is by no means something that can be achieved overnight.
He does not lack resources, but he lacks talented people.
Tang Qi's qualifications can only be said to be acceptable.
Even with the assistance of abundant resources, it has only just reached the Tiangang Realm now.
Another point is that there are many things in Jinyiwei.
This is also the reason why he wants to select outstanding Jinyi guards from all over the world to enter Beijing.
As for the Jianghu people, those Jianghu people are not reliable.
If you can come today because of interests, you will be able to leave tomorrow because of interests.
I hope that there can be some excellent seedlings in Jinyiwei all over the country.
……
Time passed quietly.
The end of the year is approaching,
The whole capital was plunged into an extremely lively atmosphere.
Today's capital is overcrowded.
On the streets, you can often see Jianghu people carrying swords walking by.
Naturally, this also brought great problems to the defense of the capital.
In recent days, even the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division has been very busy.
The people of the rivers and lakes get together, and they use swords when they don't agree with each other.
In the Gyeonggi region, if there is any trouble, no one can get rid of it.
For this reason, Lin Mang deliberately set up life and death rings in various places in the city.
It's okay to fight, go to life and death!
Kill people, Jinyi Wei doesn't care.
……
The sky was covered with white snow.
In the annex courtyard,
Yuan Changqing dropped lightly and said with a smile: "It seems that only you and I are alone this year." ”
Lin Mang picked up the tea on the table and asked, "Is it interesting for Lord Yuan to play chess by himself?" ”
"It's boring!"
Yuan Changqing grabbed a chess piece, threw it on the chessboard at will, and sighed: "Everyone in the world is like chess, and after spending all their lives, they will eventually be trapped on this chessboard and trapped in the hands of the chess player." ”
Lin Mang glanced at it, slowly put down the teacup, and said, "Then lift this chessboard!" ”
When the words fell, the chessboard on the table had been flipped to the ground.
Chess pieces are scattered all over the ground!
Lin Mang chuckled and said, "Look, isn't this the problem solved?" ”
Yuan Changqing was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly laughed.
"What a flipping board!"
Yuan Changqing sighed in his heart, and then asked with a smile: "I heard that you have been recruiting people from the rivers and lakes recently?" ”
Lin Mang bowed slightly.
He didn't intend to hide these things.
What's more, in the Zhenfu Division, don't look at this person who doesn't care about things now, but some Jinyi guards are still loyal to him.
It's just that there are some things that don't need to be pointed out.
Yuan Changqing sighed lightly and said quietly: "Have you been to the ninth floor of the secret vault, what do you think?" ”
Lin Mang raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.
Listen to this meaning, could it be that this person has also been there?
However, since Yuan Changqing asked, Lin Mang also took advantage of the situation and asked, "Who is in the cold ice coffin in the secret vault?" ”
"The master that Jin Yiwei once secretly cultivated!"
Yuan Changqing didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "But those people are in a special situation. ”
"They were originally people whose longevity was about to expire and their qi and blood were exhausted, and they were sealed with secret medicine and a cold ice coffin, so that they could survive in the state of the living dead."
"Those people can be regarded as the foundation of Jinyiwei."
"If the ice coffin is opened, they don't know how many days they will live."
"My Jinyi Wei has gone through several dynasties, and his strength has long been weakened, if it weren't for the recovery of his strength when he commanded the army, I don't know what the situation would be today."
"But ......" After a pause, Yuan Changqing said with deep meaning: "They only obey the emperor's orders. ”
Lin Mang's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he didn't ask any more questions, and slowly tasted the tea on the table.
There are some things that you don't need to say too clearly, just know them.
Yuan Changqing took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Recently, the rivers and lakes have been quite lively, and all sects and factions are full of heroes." ”
"This river and lake is really lively!"
Lin Mang's expression moved, and he said in surprise: "Could it be that Lord Fei wants to go to the rivers and lakes to visit?" ”
Yuan Changqing didn't speak, glanced at the sky, put down the teacup, got up and said, "Let's go!" ”
"It seems that I am the only one left alone."
Yuan Changqing smiled playfully and walked outside the courtyard with his hands behind his back.
Lin Mang was slightly surprised, turned his head to look, and saw Jiang Yuyan standing outside the courtyard.
Holding a pure white oil umbrella in his hand, he carried a food box and stood in the wind and snow.
The wind and snow are blowing!
Seeing Yuan Changqing, Jiang Yuyan hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Yuan Changqing just nodded and left.
Lin Mang got up and walked towards the house, shook his head and said, "Actually, you don't have to. ”
"Recently, there are a lot of people in the rivers and lakes in the capital, and it is inconvenient to walk outside."
Jiang Yuyan had a shallow smile on her face and walked into the room with a food box.
"Thank you for your concern."
Lin Mang shook his head and said no more.
After Jiang Yuyan left, Lin Mang began to approve the official documents handed over from all over the country again.
After a while, Tang Qi walked from outside the hall and bowed and said, "My lord." ”
Lin Mang didn't raise his head and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"You've been invited to a feast."
As he spoke, Tang Qi handed over the invitation in his hand.
"Oh?" Lin Mang took the invitation and said with interest: "It's a rare thing." ”
"Someone will invite me."
Now the hundred officials in Beijing are not spitting fiercely when they talk about themselves.
Scolding oneself has almost become a form of political correctness.
Opening the invitation, Lin Mang was surprised and surprised: "King Lu? ”
Lin Mang frowned slightly.
He has never had any contact with this King Lu, so why did this King Lu feast himself?
He knew that this King Lu was deeply favored by the Queen Mother.
Of course, it is also a pampered and domineering lord.
It's just a matter of heaven, who can know if it's true or not.
In history, there is no shortage of princes who pretend to be crazy and stupid, and have great plans.
On the surface, the Dragon Guardian Villa is not also loyal and patriotic, but it should be reversed.
At the end of the day, it's still that seat that's too tempting.
Does this person really not know what the banquet represents for himself?
Lin Mang put down the invitation, got up and said, "Prepare the horse and go to the Luwang Mansion." ”
"Yes!" Tang Qi bowed down and left quickly.
……
Half an hour later,
A carriage stopped outside the Luwang Mansion.
The sprawling mansion occupies an extremely large area and looks quite majestic.
Lin Mang stepped out of the carriage.
A black coat hunted in the cold wind.
Tang Qi opened an umbrella.
Looking up at the mansion in front of him, Lin Mang stepped forward.
A brocade guard stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, a servant of the palace opened the door, looked at a few people outside the door, and said arrogantly, "What's the matter?" ”
As the saying goes, there are three officials in front of the prime minister.
The palace is no exception.
Lin Mang said: "Jinyi Wei Zhen Fu envoy, Lin Mang, was invited by King Lu to come. ”
The slave glanced Lin Mang up and down, and said casually, "Come in." ”
"But you can only enter, they can't."
Lin Mang paused and glanced at the slave lightly.
"Ahh
With a miserable wail, a mist of blood erupted from the slave's mouth, his eyes shattered, and his face was covered in blood.
Lin Mang stepped forward, and a cold voice sounded from the cold wind:
"Next time it's your head."
The guards in the palace looked at each other and were in a dilemma.
If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely make a move, but this is not an ordinary person.
is not only the killing god of the famous Jingshi, but also the envoy of Jinyi Wei.
Tang Qi looked at a guard and said coldly, "Lead the way." ”
One of the guards answered, and hurriedly led the way.
When I entered the Luwang Mansion, I realized how big this mansion was.
The group walked for a quarter of an hour before they came to a hall where guests were entertained.
The sound of melodious music resounded throughout the courtyard.
In the hall, there are graceful dancing girls dancing slowly.
Accompanied by bursts of cheers.
At the top of the lobby, there was a young man with a handsome face, with distinct facial features, and his appearance looked dissolute, faintly similar to Wanli.
Lin Mang slowly withdrew his gaze.
The guards walked into the hall, bowed and saluted, "Lord Wang, Lord Lin is here." ”
Hearing this, Zhu Yiyi, who was sitting at the top, hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Please, please." ”
Lin Mang walked into the hall and arched his hand: "I've seen the prince." ”
Zhu Yiyi glanced at Lin Mang up and down, and said with a smile: "Lord Lin is really dignified, please take a seat, Lord Lin can come, this king is very honored." ”
Lin Mang said modestly: "The prince praised it falsely. ”
His eyes swept imperceptibly at everyone in the hall.
Zhu Yiyi smiled all over his face, stretched out his hand and said, "Come, Lord Lin, I'll introduce you for you." ”
"This is the son of Tongzhi, the governor of the Left Army, Ning Yichuan."
Hearing Zhu Yiyi's introduction, Ning Yichuan suddenly raised his head, his eyes slightly arrogant.
Lin Mang's expression was calm.
Zhu Yiyi introduced everyone to Lin Mang one by one.
In the hall, the people sitting are basically the sons of the officials of the court, as well as people from various families, and they can be regarded as prominent.
When Zhu Yiyi introduced, those people also performed together.
No matter what you think in your heart, you have to do at least the work on the surface.
However, when a few people saw Lin Mang, there was a faint fear in their eyes.
Lin Mang glanced at a few more people.
Somewhat familiar......
I remember, it was a few unlucky people who were caught at the beginning.
Seeing Lin Mang's gaze, several people hurriedly lowered their heads.
Until now, they still have a lot of memories of the original scene.
Zhu Yiyi led Lin Mang to the lower left position and sat down.
It is also a status symbol.
Zhu Yiyi clapped his hands gently, and Wu Ji in the hall slowly danced again.
Zhu Yiyi raised his glass to toast and said with a smile: "Come, Lord Lin can come today, the official is very happy." ”
Lin Mang raised his wine glass and gestured, and there was a greeting.
After three rounds of drinking,
Zhu Yiyi looked at Lin Mang and said with a chuckle: "Don't hide it from Lord Lin, I invite Lord Lin to come today, in addition to going to the banquet, there is one more thing to ask for." ”
Lin Mang's eyes were slightly gloomy.
Sure enough, it couldn't be that simple.
Lin Mang put down the wine glass and said bluntly: "Lord Wang, please speak." ”
Zhu Yiyi smiled "hehe" and laughed: "Lord Lin is refreshing." ”
"That's the case, I heard that Lin University's Zhenfu Division recently recruited Jinyi Wei?"
Lin Mang bowed slightly.
glanced at Zhu Yiyi without a trace, what is this asking for?
The smile on Zhu Yiyi's face became a little thicker, and he said with a smile: "This king has a few friends, all of whom are the best among people, and I want to recommend them to Lord Lin, I don't know what Lord Lin wants?" ”
The smile on Lin Mang's face gradually disappeared, stared at Zhu Yiyi, shook his head and said, "The prince said he was laughing." ”
He now wondered if he was really stupid or fake.
Zhu Yiyi clapped his hands lightly and said with a smile: "Lord Lin might as well see you first." ”
As soon as the words fell, three people came from outside the hall.
The three of them were all dressed as Jianghu people, and one of them was wearing a white robe and carrying a long sword.
There were two left, one was bald and burly, and the other had a sharp beak and monkey gills, and there was a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"Lord Wang!"
The three of them bowed their hands one after another.
Zhu Yiyi smiled and said, "Lord Lin, these three are all strong martial artists. ”
"This is Xu Wantang, who is known as the Little Sword King in the rivers and lakes."
"This is ......"
However, before he finished speaking, Lin Mang interrupted him: "Lord Wang, I don't care who they are, and I don't want to know. ”
"Jinyiwei has a system of Jinyiwei, please forgive me."
The smile on Zhu Yiyi's face disappeared instantly.
The atmosphere in the hall was depressed.
The crowd was even more surprised.
In Beijing, who doesn't know that King Lu is deeply loved by the Queen Mother, and His Majesty is even more indulgent.
Unexpectedly, this person dared to directly wipe the face of the prince.
For a while, everyone looked at Lin Mang's eyes with a hint of playfulness.
Gloat!
"Lord Lin, don't you want to give this king this face?"
Zhu Yiyi's tone was a little heavier, and anyone could hear the anger in it.
At this moment, one of the people in the hall hurriedly stood up to play a round and said with a smile: "Lord Wang forgives the sin, Lord Lin definitely doesn't mean this." ”
"Lord Lin also has his own difficulties, Jinyiwei has an assessment, if you directly insert people in, it will inevitably fall into the mouth."
"It's better to invite these three people to participate in the assessment of Jinyiwei, I believe that Lord Lin will definitely make it easier."
The words are not finished, but what they mean, everyone knows.
Several people in the hall also stood up and hurriedly started a round.
The coldness on Zhu Yiyi's face disappeared a little, and he said, "Then it's troublesome Lord Lin." ”
However, the tone was not as polite as it had at the beginning.
Lin Mang glanced at the man, shook his head and said, "It's not that you don't give face to the prince." ”
"Jinyi Wei is His Majesty's pro-army, not my army!"
"Jinyiwei has the system of Jinyiwei!"
"If the prince really wants them to join the Beizhen Fusi, it is better to ask for a holy decree."
"If Your Majesty allows it, this official will have no opinion!"
Lin Mang got up and arched his hand: "Farewell!" ”
When the words fell, he turned around and left.
"I thought that the famous Jingzhong Killing God was like, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that."
"Lord Wang, if you don't go, Xu won't look down on it."
At this moment, a yin and yang strange voice suddenly sounded.
Below, a trace of contempt flashed in the eyes of Xu Wantang, who was carrying a long sword.
The rivers and lakes have spread this person to the boil, and now when I see it, it's nothing more than that.
As for the identity of the other party's Jinyiwei, he is a friend of King Lu, and what can Jinyiwei do to him.
Many people on the rivers and lakes are afraid of this person, saying that he is killing gods, and the color of the talk changes.
What about killing gods, does he dare to touch himself today?
If the news comes out now, I'm afraid that this killing god in Beijing will have to become a joke in Beijing.
Lin Mang's footsteps paused.
Turning his head to stare at Xu Wantang, he said quietly: "What did you just say?" ”
Xu Wantang was not afraid at all, sneered, and said, "Didn't Lord Lin hear clearly? ”
"Then I'll say it again."
"I thought that the famous Jingzhong Killing God was like, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that."
"Nope." Lin Mang's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "The latter sentence!" ”
Xu Wantang chuckled lightly and said, "Xu Mou look......"
Before the words fell, a terrifying aura was released.
Lin Mang's figure disappeared from the spot in an instant, leaving only an afterimage of the lake.
Suddenly, a sense of horror of dead silence spread all around.
Everyone was shocked at the same time.
The next moment, everyone's holes shrank.
Only for a while, Xu Wantang was lifted by Lin Mang's neck.
He stood proudly, with a terrifying ruthlessness and indifference, like a fierce demon god.
There seemed to be a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood surging around, and the people's hearts were extremely pressed.
"What are you, you deserve to judge Jinyiwei in vain!"
Lin Mang looked at Xu Wantang coldly.
Xu Wantang's eyes were fierce, and the long sword behind his back instantly came out of its sheath and slashed towards Lin Mang.
The cold sword qi roared!
One move is a killer move.
Ice condensation!
The temperature in the entire hall plummeted.
Positive and negative swords!
The Kunlun faction is unlearned.
Xu Wantang dared to speak out, and he had some confidence.
Born in the Kunlun faction, he was already a grandmaster at a young age, and he was proud of many strong people of the older generation in the rivers and lakes.
"Dang!"
Lin Mang's fingers poked out as quickly as a dragon going out to sea, and his fingers were full of shadows.
The moment the fingers touched the blade, they turned purple-gold.
Big Purple Yang Hand!
Flick it gently.
It's as if a stone falls into the lake, rippling out a layer of ripples.
A buzz!
The sword shatters!
Lin Mang looked back at Zhu Yiyi, and said in a calm tone, "Lord Wang, this kind of tongue-ridden waste, it's also a disaster to keep it, so let's kill it." ”
"What?"
Everyone sat up in shock, their faces stunned.
Xu Wantang was even more shocked.
"Uh......h What do you want to do......"
Lin Mang's tone was solemn: "A mouthy waste like you, living is just a waste of food!" ”
As soon as the words fell, only to hear the sound of "Kacha", Xu Wantang's throat completely shattered.
Quiet......
Falling pins can be heard!
In the entire hall, only the sound of each other's breathing came clearly into the ears.
Everyone looked straight at Lin Mang, their expressions stunned, and even a little incredulous.
Such a grandiose murder in King Lu's mansion is crazy, right?
Tang Qi respectfully handed over a handkerchief.
Lin Mang wiped his hands casually and said calmly: "Lord Wang, I have taken my leave." ”
The handkerchief that slowly fell covered Xu Wan's angry face.
"Stop!"
Zhu Yiyi got up with a gloomy expression and said coldly: "Lin Mang, you killed people in this king's mansion, shouldn't you give this king an explanation?" ”
"Xu Wantang is a friend of this king, you dare to kill him, you are so bold!"
"Confession?" Lin Mang turned around and pretended to be curious and asked, "What explanation?" ”
Zhu Yiyi said angrily: "Lin Mang, pay attention to your identity!" ”
"Could it be that Jinyi Wei can kill people at will?"
"Imperial Privilege!"
"Chop first, play later!"
"That's the confession!"
Lin Mang's expression suddenly turned cold, his tone was sonorous, and he said coldly, "Jinyiwei is His Majesty's pro-army, this person insulted Jinyiwei first, dare to ask the prince, what crime should he be guilty of?" ”
"You are the prince, and the official respects you, but this doesn't mean that any cat or dog can bark in front of the official."
"If you want to cure the sins of this official, the prince should go and ask for a holy decree."
Lin Mang walked towards the outside of the hall.
The cape dances in the cold wind.
The wind and snow are howling!
The arrogant figure slowly disappeared into the wind and snow.
Everyone in the hall had different expressions.
Who would have thought that this person would be so faceless to King Lu, and even kill in front of him.
Zhu Yiyi's face was ugly, he glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "This king still has something to do, take the first step." ”
The surrounding people hurriedly stood up and saluted, and said goodbye one after another.
Zhu Yiyi walked out of the hall and came all the way to the back hall.
In the room, in front of the window, there was a tall figure.
Dressed in gorgeous clothes, revealing a bit of luxury.
"Failed?"
The tone of the light description seems to have been anticipated.
Zhu Yiyi, who entered the room, looked gloomy and nodded: "It seems that this son cannot be used by us." ”
"Not only did he refuse my proposal, but he killed Xu Wantang in front of me."
"As I said, it's not that simple."
Zhu ignored and turned around slowly, his face unwavering.
"I didn't expect him to kill someone in front of you."
"After this incident, I am afraid that the one in the palace will trust him more."
Zhu ignored and chuckled: "It's not okay to be separated, but you helped him." ”
Zhu Yiyi's face suddenly changed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the whole person changed from a handsome man to a beautiful woman.
Zhu ignored the coldness of his face, and a terrifying suction burst out from his palm.
"Zhu Yiyi" flew up in the air and was pulled by suction, and Zhu ignored and grabbed his throat.
Zhu ignored it and said coldly: "Hanamichi Chang, you are looking for death!" ”
"Huh!" Hanamichi often chuckled, not afraid at all, and said, "Don't you like my appearance?" ”
"Isn't it very similar to the plain girl?"
A cold murderous intent flashed in Zhu Ignorance's eyes.
Hanamichi's face changed slightly, and his appearance changed rapidly, and he changed into Zhu Yiyi's appearance again.
At that moment, he really sensed that this person had moved to kill.
This Hou Ye is crazy, right?
For the sake of a girl, you want to kill yourself?
Zhu Wuzhi let go of his hand, and his tone was cold: "I don't want this kind of thing to happen again." ”
"Zhu Yiyi" pursed his lips, poured himself a cup of tea, and said: "That pacification envoy killed people in front of me, it was really bold enough. ”
Zhu ignored it, but his eyes showed appreciation, and he said calmly: "If he is a mediocre person, Benhou will not look down on him." ”
"It's a pity that such a person is loyal to my wasted nephew."
"Everyone thinks about orthodoxy, is orthodoxy really that important?"
"Zhu Yiyi" smiled: "Since this is the case, how about Hou Ye get rid of him?" ”
"Over the years, I have borrowed the name of King Lu and recruited a lot of people from the rivers and lakes, and the emperor thought I was joking, and I was obsessed with the rivers and lakes and rarely paid attention to them."
Zhu Wuzhi shook his head and said, "Not for the time being." ”
"Recently, the old gelding dog in the East Factory has been keeping an eye on it, so don't cause unnecessary trouble."
"What's more, Dongchang has been staring at this recently, maybe we don't need to make a move."
"He killed the people of the Kunlun faction, and with the temperament of the Kunlun faction to protect his shortcomings, he will inevitably find trouble with this son."
Zhu ignored the window and quietly looked at the snow flying in the sky.
Zhang Taiyue, it's a pity that you died too early.
Ben Hou has one less opponent.
I really want you to see how the students you teach treat your sons and how they treat you.
Zhu Wuzhi chuckled, his eyes showing disdain.
Sour rotten literati!
Perhaps, you shouldn't have supported him in the first place.
……
Imperial Palace, Wuying Palace,
Looking at the secret report sent, Zhu Yijun chuckled and said, "Interesting." ”
"Kill someone in front of King Lu."
Cao Zhengchun, who was standing on the side, said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Lord Lin is acting like this, I'm afraid it's a bit out of line. ”
Zhu Yijun put down the secret report, turned his head to look at Cao Zhengchun, and said meaningfully: "But he is loyal to me, isn't he?" ”
"As long as he is loyal to me, what is it to kill a few Jianghu people."
Cao Zhengchun's face changed slightly, and he bowed down and said, "The minister is too talkative." ”
Zhu Yijun said: "Give him a copy of the tea that was paid tribute some time ago." ”
Cao Zhengchun bowed and respectfully responded.
……
North Town Fusi,
After Lin Mang's return, he fell into busyness again.
For him, the matter of Luwangfu was at most a small episode.
cut so many people, and he didn't mind having another prince under the knife when he was in a hurry.
It's just a bit more work.
Tang Qi walked in from outside the hall and said respectfully: "My lord, there is news from Shandong." ”
"How?"
Tang Qi smiled and said in a low voice: "After learning the news of the capital, the Shandong historian fled in a hurry, and our people traced it and found that the historian had excavated a gold mine and had been secretly mining. ”
"Gold Mine!" Lin Mang was shocked.
These guys have found a treasure!
No wonder the whole clan ran away overnight.
In this case, not to mention that there was an accident with the historian in Beijing, even if there was no accident, if it was found out, mining without permission would be a felony.
The news of the historian in Beijing was not concealed for long.
The major families are implicated in collusion, and there is no shortage of whistleblowers.
Lin Mang said in a deep voice: "What is the situation in the gold mine? ”
Tang Qi sighed: "There are not many left, and most of them have been mined and transported away by the historians. ”
"Tell Zhao Yuanhui to let them mine secretly and put this mine under the name of the Zhenfu Division."
"About the gold content, it is concealed!"
Tang Qi smiled all over his face: "Don't worry, I understand." ”
Lin Mang picked up the tea on the table, took a sip, and looked at the letter on the table with a deep gaze.
It's a pity that the people of the Shandong historian ran away.
Woe to you!
It seems that the person who informed the news in the first place was not simple.
……
Time passed quietly.
Ten days later,
Lin Mang led a team of brocade guards to the outside of the Li Mansion.
Dozens of guards in brocade clothes stood quietly on the street, their expressions solemn, exuding a heavy majesty.
The fiery horse snorted lightly and spewed out two streaks of cold mist.
The cold wind is raging!
The sound of the howling wind was in my ears.
After a while, the door of the mansion slowly opened.
A woman with an elegant temperament walked out slowly with an umbrella.
A pair of ??, starry eyes twinkling with a little starlight, with? Distinguish between cold and cold.
It was none other than Elan Lee.
Now that I see you again, it is obvious that her complexion is much better.
Li Yilan looked up at Lin Mang standing on Pixiu's back, and bowed slightly: "Yilan has seen Lord Lin." ”
"Miss Li!"
Lin Mang nodded slightly and said, "Please get in the carriage." ”
Li Yilan said softly: "I'm going to bother Lord Lin again." ”
Lin Mang said in a deep voice: "Where is the responsibility! ”
The maid who followed behind her pursed her lips slightly.
Incomprehensible!
After Li Yilan boarded the carriage, Lin Mang said in a deep voice: "Let's go!" ”
A group of brocade guards escorted the carriage out of the capital quickly.
……
East Factory,
On the Taishi chair in the hall, Cao Zhengchun put down the secret report in his hand, looked at the person kneeling below, and asked, "How is the investigation of the situation in the Dragon Guardian Villa?" ”
"Back to the Overseer, nothing unusual lately."
Cao Zhengchun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Let people continue to stare at it." ”
"Yes!"
The eunuch kneeling under the hall quickly left.
At this time, a eunuch standing on the right side stood up and said respectfully: "Overseer, that Lin Mang has left Beijing today." ”
Hearing this, Cao Zhengchun's eyes sank slightly.
The east factory is powerful, and His Majesty is already quite jealous in his heart, otherwise he would not have promoted this son with all his might.
However, the growth rate of this son is extremely amazing, in just two years, he has reached the grandmaster, and he has made a great reputation in the rivers and lakes.
Cao Zhengchun said in a deep voice: "Li Chengliang of Liaodong has a heavy army, and the hundreds of officials in the court are afraid of it. ”
Cao Zhengchun smiled lightly and said quietly: "The group of people who were saved at the beginning should also appear." ”
"If this son dies in Liaodong, Li Chengliang will inevitably be inseparable, and then my Dongchang will be able to use this to enter Liaodong and find a way to control the Liaodong army."
After a moment of silence, Cao Zhengchun said in a deep voice: "Just in case, you will personally supervise this matter." ”
"Yes!"
Sun Zhi of the hall smiled and said: "Overseer, don't worry, I will definitely let this son never return to Beijing." ”
Looking at the wind and snow outside the house, Cao Zhengchun's deep eyes revealed a hint of chill.
In comparison, he was still more jealous of Zhu Ignorance.
The Dragon Protector Villa is powerful, and the intelligence is all over the world.
Zhu ignored this person's seemingly low-key appearance, but in fact he was extremely forbearing, and he must have a major plan.
……
As night falls,
There is a thick layer of snow on the official road.
The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and the momentum was mighty.
In the snow, countless figures in black coats jumped out.
Snow splashes!
Looking at the majestic mountains covered by heavy snow in front of him, Lin Mang took out the map and compared it.
From the capital, they have been on the road for 26 consecutive days.
Because of Li Yilan's situation, the team moved forward quite slowly.
If the Jinyi Guard had marched in a hurry, he might have already reached Liaodong.
The wind and snow are howling!
In front, a brocade guard quickly stepped forward and arched his hand: "My lord, there is an inn ahead, you can rest temporarily." ”
Lin Mang bowed slightly, patted Pixiu, and walked towards the carriage behind.
"Miss Li, can you still hold on?"
Li Yilan's slightly weak voice came from inside the carriage: "Thank you Lord Lin for your concern, Yilan is fine." ”
As soon as the words fell, the voice of the maid suddenly sounded in the carriage.
"Miss, you still said that you are fine, your forehead is already so hot."
Lin Mang frowned slightly.
Then he said: "Miss Li, there is an inn in front of you, you can enter and rest for one night." ”
Li Yilan apologized: "I'm tired of Lord Lin." ”
"It's Ylang Ylang who is useless and has caused you trouble."
"Miss Li doesn't have to be like this."
Lin Mang didn't say anything more and left quickly.
In the carriage, Li Yilan put down the scroll she was holding, her face was red, and she said angrily: "Mouthy! ”
"I'll sell you to a tooth in the future."
"Humph!" Shuang'er snorted coldly and said, "Miss, you are burning so badly, if you don't feel sorry, I'm sorry." ”
"I think you are Lord Lin who feels sorry for you!"
"One bite at a time, Lord Lin."
Li Yilan's face turned even redder at once, and she hurriedly punched Shuang'er and said angrily: "What are you talking about?" ”
"Hey, hey!" Shuang'er rolled her eyes and said happily, "I didn't say anything." ”
The brocade-clothed guards guarding outside the carriage glanced at each other, and soon looked at their noses and noses.
They didn't hear anything!
The people came to the inn.
Lin Mang squinted at the inn and walked in first.
Oil lamps are lit inside the inn.
In front of the counter, there was a short, stocky middle-aged man lying on his stomach.
Hearing the sound of pushing the door, he raised his head reluctantly.
Just as he wanted to speak, when he saw the flying fish suit, Tong Kongmeng shrank, and hurriedly walked out, laughing and saying, "The grass people have seen all the adults. ”
The inns that opened near the official road were mostly for the people of the rivers and lakes.
And half of the ten stores are black.
When meeting some fledgling young people, failure is the best outcome.
If you encounter a ruthless black spot, you may be made into adult meat buns.
Lin Mang sat down on the chair and said in a deep voice: "Prepare the room, hot water, and meals." ”
Chai Zhi, who was standing on the side, took out a silver ingot and threw it to the innkeeper.
"Wait a minute, the villain will go."
Lin Mang waved his hand lightly, and dozens of brocade guards quickly dispersed and searched the building.
Soon, Chai Zhi returned and said, "My lord, it's okay." ”
Lin Mang bowed slightly, and said, "Please come in, Miss Li." ”
After a while, Li Yilan walked in wrapped in a thick coat and coughed from time to time.
"Lord Lin." Li Yilan bowed slightly.
Lin Mang's brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "Miss Li, sit down first." ”
After Li Yilan sat down, Lin Mang hesitated: "Miss Li, Lin is offended, can you stretch out your hand?" ”
"Huh?" Li Yilan was stunned for a moment, and quickly stretched out her hand in confusion.
Lin Mang's finger struck Li Yilan's wrist, and a stream of pure yang true yuan quickly poured into his body.
Soon, a layer of fine sweat broke out on Li Yilan's forehead.
Sweat drips slowly.
However, his complexion was much better in an instant.
Lin Mang withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "Okay." ”
Li Yilan felt the condition of her body, her face was surprised, and she said in surprise: "It's amazing." ”
Lin Mangsun said with a smile: "It's just because the exercises practiced by this official are relatively special." ”
While they were talking, the innkeeper quickly came with a meal.
Lin Mang glanced at it casually.
Innocuity!
After the meal, everyone went to their rooms to rest.
……
The night is deep,
Under the dim sky, the snow seemed to get heavier.
In the snow, a group of people came against the wind and snow.
The boots made a soft noise in the snow.
The inn in front of the group was greeted by the group.
In the inn room, Lin Mang suddenly opened his eyes.
"Boom!"
An invisible wave of air burst out.
The black cloak fluttered in and fell into his hand.
Lin Mang lifted his cloak and strode out of the inn.
In the snowstorm,
A crisp jingo sound was heard.
The bright sword light is dazzling.
In the night, a group of five people slowly approached.
Behind them, there were many figures.
At night, it seems to be full of dense figures.
Lin Mang glanced at it casually, and said, "You are all here for this official?" ”
"Wood thief!"
A sound of gnashing teeth suddenly sounded.
One of them lifted his cloak, his eyes were red, and his face was full of resentment: "Tonight, I will sacrifice your head to my people!" ”
"You destroy my entire Wei family, my clansmen are waiting for you below!"
Lin Mang slowly pulled out the knife and said, "It seems that this is a fish that has slipped through the net." ”
One person took off his cloak and said hatefully: "Lin Mang, my Song family's more than 300 lives, it's time to pay it back!" ”
"And my Yang family!"
Another man lifted his cloak, revealing a hideous face covered in scars.
His face was extremely hideous and distorted, like an evil spirit coming out of hell.
Yang Shihe pointed to his face, and roared with a crazy expression: "I destroyed my face and escaped to death, just to seek revenge on you!" ”
"I woke up day and night, and all I dreamed of was the soul of my Yang family!"
"I can't wait to eat your flesh!
”
"Lin Mang, if you destroy my historian, it's time to give an explanation tonight."
One lifted his cloak, revealing an old face.
Shi Yaoquan sneered: "Of course, if you are willing to kneel down and beg for mercy, I can plead with them for you." ”
Lin Mang walked forward with a knife, and his cold voice suddenly sounded: "The nonsense is over, it's time to go on the road!" ”
In the snowstorm, a touch of the vast sword qi that shocked the sky burst out!
Where several feet of earth-shattering sword qi passed, the blade roared, like a heavenly dragon roaring.
