Chapter 68: The Case of Killing Officials

Legendary qualification, which costs 100,000 merit points;

Legendary comprehension, spend 100,000 merit points.

But if you want to upgrade the God of War Catalogue to Xiaocheng, it will cost 300,000 merit points.

It's too much, it's too much, it's still not enough money to spend.

Sure enough, penance is king, and adding points is a crooked way, and there is not enough money to spend.

There is never enough money to spend!

Looking at the remaining merit points, Li Mu turned silent.

"My lord, it's not good, something is wrong!" At this time, Sun Mengxi's voice came.

Li Mu was shocked in his heart and said, "Could it be that there is another murder, and another murderer is committing the crime!"

"That's not it!" Sun Mengxi said: "My lord, after killing the nine-tailed fox, all the gangs and families are honest and well-behaved. ”

"What happened then?" asked Li Mu.

"Ningbo is safe and sound, but there is a big incident in Jinling, and the prefect of Jinling was killed in the official office!" Sun Mengxi said: "Just three days ago!"

The distance between Ningbo and Jinling is very short, and the contact is close, and this matter quickly spread.

"The prefect of Jinling was killed in the palace!"

Li Mu was stunned.

Now, it's going to break the sky!

The prefect is equivalent to the mayor of later generations.

But it is also a prefect, and it is also divided into ranks.

Jinling, the core of the south of the Yangtze River, is higher than other regions in status, equivalent to the municipality directly under the central government in later generations.

The prefects of other regions are only five ranks, but the prefects of Jinling are four ranks, and their status is higher than that of other prefects.

But now, he was killed in the government.

"Who is it, who is so brave to kill a prefect in the Jinling Mansion!" Li Mu said in shock, "The Jinling Mansion is a big bunker, with three thousand elites stationed in it, and there are grandmasters and masters in the town. Once Jinling City falls, it can also support it for a while!"

"Under such a tight defense, who is it?

Martial arts masters, for the imperial court has always been respectful, for the heavenly way a lot, but rarely kill officials directly. In particular, killing the prefect of Jinling was almost a provocation to the imperial court.

"I don't know!"

Sun Mengxi said: "We can't control the affairs of Jinling, but the defense of the Ningbo Mansion must be improved." At least to the point of resisting the assassination of the Grand Master!"

"Okay!" Li Mu nodded.

Suddenly, the government office, which was originally guarded by 500 armored soldiers, was increased to 1,000 people, and the protection level was improving.

......

The imperial capital, the center of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The imperial capital sneezed, and Da Zhou trembled a few times.

Jinling Prefect, everything that happened was just an hour, that is, it was transmitted to the imperial capital.

This world is the world of martial arts, which is backward in many aspects, but after inheriting the ancient civilization, it is super advanced and super terrifying in some aspects.

In the imperial capital, in the imperial study, the emperor was reviewing the chapters, and there were two princes kneeling below, as well as three courtiers.

The emperor didn't say a word, and reviewed the chapter, until an hour later, the emperor finished reading the last chapter, and suddenly said: "The prefect of Jinling is dead!"

"Yes!"

The third prince spoke.

"Is it the Demon Cult?" the Emperor asked.

"The Demon Sect Holy Maiden responded, no!" the Third Prince began.

"She said no, then it is not, it seems that it must not be!" The emperor said: "The prefect of Jinling is dead, it is time to investigate! Kill people to pay for their lives, and repay debts! The spear god of the six doors, the flower of the Xuanjing Division, jointly handle the case! By the way, the locals in Jiangnan are still needed, and the local faction is also needed! Wu Yong's ability is good, but he is too tactful; Qian Mu is good, but he is old; Liming has a son, and his courage has become smaller!"

The emperor was silent: "...... Li Mu and Li Tanhua are said to have been the first of the Hanlin Academy, and then came to Yinxian County as the county magistrate, and three years later they were evaluated as excellent; His martial arts talent is also good, the longevity recipe is consummated, he is already in the late stage of congenital, it is possible to be supreme consummation, and he has a condensed body!"

"Just him! Special order Li Mu, go to Jinling to investigate the death of the prefect Zheng Yong, the six doors and the Xuanjing Division are all headed by Li Mu to investigate the truth of the matter!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

............

"Meet the angels!"

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Special order, Li Mu is to investigate the case, and the six doors of the gun god, the Xuanjing Sihua Wuying, etc., jointly investigate the cause of death of Zheng Yong, the prefect of Jinling!"

The envoy wore splendid clothes and announced the emperor's will.

Li Mu took the will and said, "Angel, this is ......"

He is only a general judge in Ningbo, just a fifth-rank official, and he is the second-in-command in Ningbo; but in the imperial court, there are too many five-rank officials like him. Even if you investigate the cause of death of the prefect of Jinling, you won't need him!

But now, he was even allowed to join the investigation team.

Among the investigation team, there are local factions, six doors, and the Xuanjing Division, etc., to jointly investigate the case.

And in the Holy Decree, he ranks first, which means that he is the leader of the investigation team...... This is promoted, and his status is still above the god of guns and the shadow of flowers.

The Holy Decree is one thing, but will these two be convinced?

If you are not convinced and cause problems, it will be a big trouble.

Li Mu thought about it, he had been a Hanlin in the capital for two months, a county magistrate in Yinxian County for three years, and a general judge in Ningbo for two years, and now he was twenty-seven years old, and he had been an official for several years, thinking about the meaning of the emperor.

"Pack your things, sir, and set off as soon as possible!" the angel admonished.

"Yes!"

Li Mu nodded.

"My lord, are you going to go!" Sun Mengxi said.

"Yes. Pack up your things and set off quickly!" Li Mu said.

"Yes!"

With that, Sun Mengxi went to inform the others and went to gather the guards.

"Congratulations, Jane is in the emperor's heart!" Wu Yong said, "This is Your Majesty's test, if you can pass it, you will definitely be promoted!"

"Ascension!"

Li Mu said: "I hope so, Jinling's affairs are not simple!"

Wu Yong reminded: "The matter in Jinling is not simple, whether you can solve the case is a small matter, remember to save your life, the water in Jinling is too deep and too deep!"

Li Mu said: "Brother Wu, I understand! This time I went to take the guards, and even the Great Grandmaster could compete with one or two!"

When you go to Jinling this time, you have to take 300 guards with you, otherwise you will not have a sense of security...... Maybe in the process of solving the case, someone will do it and disappear silently.

Two hours later, Li Mu set off with three hundred guards.

About three days later, I arrived at Jinling City.

Just arrived at the mansion, everyone was quite tired, and they had to rest.

At this time, the weapons sounded, and a group of men and horses appeared, with a mighty momentum.

"Are you Li Mu?"

A young man asked, holding a spear in his hand.

Sun Mengxi was about to say something, Li Mu waved his hand and asked, "I am Li Mu!"

"Li Mu, dare to fight me!" the young man shouted, pointing his spear at Li Mu.
