The eldest prince is actually a little weak-minded, afraid that Qiu Peng really has any evidence, and he doesn't dare to use the topic to play.

Qiu Peng didn't continue to think about it, turned around and said, "Who witnessed what happened yesterday?"

No one answered. Qiu Peng said: "This is strange, it stands to reason that only the Song Helmsman who has been involved in it from beginning to end knows what happened, but early in the morning, everyone was clear and swore that the Song Helmsman killed innocents indiscriminately and commanded unfavorably. Where does all this information come from?"

One councillor said: "Rumors are flying all over the streets, and yesterday's events have spread all over the place. ”

Qiu Peng smiled and said, "You also said it was a rumor, can the rumor also be used as a basis?"

The councillor was silent.

Qiu Peng said: "At present, the only people who know what happened should be the Song Helm Lord and the brothers of the Chengguan Brigade who were present, and if the Pavilion Master wants to know the actual situation, he should also say it from the mouth of the Song Helm Lord." Otherwise, you can only hear some shirking words and rumors. ”

Qiu Peng turned his head to Song Siming and said, "Does Lord Song have a report?"

Song Siming has been following Qiu Peng's instructions and has not made a defense, and only then did he say: "After the subordinates calmed down the conflict and brought control of the situation this morning, they wrote a report as soon as possible, but they have not yet had time to submit it to the headquarters. ”

The Lord of Lingyun Pavilion said, "Where is the report?"

Song Siming said: "On the subordinates." ”

The Lord of Lingyun Pavilion waved his hand, and some of his subordinates had already taken it and presented it. The Lord of Lingyun Pavilion read the report, his expression changed, and finally he looked angry, gave the report to one of his subordinates, and said, "You come and read it to everyone!"

The man took it and read it aloud word by word, and the report roughly described the course of yesterday's pacification.

However, there are several inaccuracies. For example, I couldn't find the instructions from the headquarters, so I didn't mention anything about the delay of several hours. However, it emphasizes how mercenaries caused ālun, and in the casualty statistics of the citizens, most of the casualties are counted on the citizens killing each other. The citizens who died themselves only mentioned it briefly, and understated it.

After the man finished reading, the Lingyun Pavilion Lord smiled, "It seems to be very different from what you said." Tell me, where did you get your news about the conflict? It's not all rumors, is it?"

At this time, those councillors who still didn't know what the Lingyun Pavilion Lord meant, and they all changed their words, blaming themselves for being covered by rumors, "Lord Song Helm is brave and peaceful, and he came to Yashi in person" Yunyun.

Those lawmakers who signed the joint letter did not dare to make a mistake, because it is a felony to spread false rumors. I can't say that my news was given by the eldest prince when he was drinking.

Only the eldest prince insisted that this was a one-sided statement after all. Tiyì formed an investigation team to investigate this.

The Lingyun Pavilion Lord finally looked a little impatient and said, "That's enough." ”

Everyone suddenly calmed down, knowing that the Lingyun Pavilion Master had made a decision.

The Lord of Lingyun Pavilion announced: "Song Siming, you have made a contribution to the timely pacification this time, but the security of Féi City is originally your responsibility, and this is a matter within your bounds. But you are indeed to blame for such a big incident during your tenure. ”

Song Siming hurriedly knelt down and said, "Yes." ”

The Lingyun Pavilion Lord nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are still dutiful, and I can't completely blame you this time, so I will fine you a year's salary and reduce you by two levels, but still act as the helmsman of Féi City, can you be convinced?"

Song Siming was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was really moved at this moment, and said hurriedly: "The pavilion master knows thousands of miles. The subordinate feeling is inexhaustible. ”

I wanted to take the opportunity to say a few words to show my loyalty, but I was limited to my mouth and couldn't say it, just repeating a few clichés such as "do your best".

The Lingyun Pavilion Lord seemed to be very satisfied, and said, "Very good, very good, you go back and work hard, don't live up to my expectations of you." As long as you are faithful to me, I will never treat you badly. "I think it was because the Lingyun Pavilion Lord was afraid that what he said was vague, but Song Siming couldn't understand it, so he said it quite a bit.

Song Siming's blood was naturally boiling, knowing that he finally had the opportunity to be appreciated and reused, he only felt that the blood was surging to his head, and he said in a loud voice, "My subordinates are loyal and swear allegiance to the pavilion master." ”

Only then did the Lingyun Pavilion Lord signal Song Siming to retreat.

The rest is Fu Shan's problem. The Lingyun Pavilion Lord said again: "Fu Shan's subordinates are not strict, and the mercenaries under his command have repeatedly provoked incidents, so they will be removed from their posts and investigated. As for the position of the mercenary union,"

Speaking of this, the Lingyun Pavilion Lord frowned slightly, and it seemed that he was quite difficult, and it was difficult to find a suitable candidate for a while.

At this time, the eldest prince took the opportunity to get up and recommend a candidate he had prepared in advance to the Lingyun Pavilion Lord. And the second prince is a wolf, not prepared earlier than the eldest son, so he can only oppose it, but he proposes a better candidate.

The position of president of the mercenary union is very low-level but a very oily shortage. Therefore, many legislators also put forward candidates for their own interests and competed for this position. Therefore, the competition is extremely fierce.

As he was decided, a slight snoring suddenly came.

The Lord of Lingyun Pavilion turned his head to look and saw Wen Baoliang, who had been silent, squinted at some point, leaned back in the chair and fell asleep, saliva slowly flowing to the mouth of the iōng, and a slight snoring sound came from his nose.

The Lingyun Pavilion Lord frowned slightly, and said, "Elder Wen." Seeing that he hadn't woken up, he was about to call again, but a member of parliament next to him had already pushed Wen Baoliang awake.

Wen Baoliang looked up and said, "What's the matter? Xiaoqiang, pour tea!"

Looking up and seeing that there were people all around, it seemed that he had just come to his senses, and he hurriedly stood up, bowed to the Lingyun Pavilion Lord, and said, "What does the Pavilion Master command?" When he was pretentious, everyone laughed in their hearts that he was old and confused, but Qiu Peng knew that he did it on purpose.

The Lingyun Pavilion Master didn't pursue his mistake just now, but said kindly: "What do you think of the candidate for the president of the mercenary union, Elder Wen?"

Wen Baoliang coughed twice, and heard someone whisper to him about the candidates who had been nominated, and then said: "Pavilion Master, I think that these candidates are not suitable. ”

These words made everyone can't help but scold "old immortal" in their hearts. It's strange that this is one of the few times in decades that this bad old man has not been ambiguous.

Wen Baoliang continued: "To be the president of this mercenary union, three conditions need to be met. Indispensable. ”

The Lingyun Pavilion Lord asked with interest, "What are the three conditions?"

Wen Baoliang said: "The first one, you must have prestige. It is to be able to shock those unruly mercenaries. The mercenaries were mainly composed of the disciples of the four sects and the eighteenth rank. Therefore, the incumbent has always had a good reputation among the eighteenth-rate disciples of these four sects, and it is only if he can be supported. This is the first condition, prestige. Especially recently, in order to appease the southern tribes, the treatment of mercenaries is too harsh, and if they do not have enough prestige, they cannot control the situation. ”

"What about the second one?" asked the Lingyun Pavilion Master.

"You must have strong martial arts. The mercenaries, those who worship force. The idea of martial arts can be said to be very common. Only warriors can be respected and admired by them. And only by gaining their respect and sympathy can they be obedient. Therefore, this is essential. ”

When the eldest prince heard this, he couldn't help but sneer and said, "I'm afraid that the two conditions you said can only be met by yourself, right?

"The eldest prince is too old. Listen to my third condition," Wen Baoliang continued, "that is, to be in the prime of life. The mercenary union is complicated and the times are extraordinary, so the successor must be young and vigorous, and an old man like me will not work. ”

The eldest prince was still unconvinced, and said, "According to your three conditions, I'm afraid that the entire Lingyun Pavilion Lord can't find a suitable candidate, can you just let this position be vacant?"

Wen Baoliang shook his head and said, "Who said that, there is a suitable candidate in this conference hall now." ”

"Who?" the eldest prince was a little unconvinced.

Wen Baoliang stretched out his hand and pointed at Qiu Peng and said, "That's the young and promising Master Li." ”

"Huh?" Qiu Peng pointed to his nose, stunned for a moment.

Everyone felt a little unbelievable, but when they thought about it, it was reasonable, Qiu Peng was born in the Star and Moon Stream of the Four Sects and the Eighteenth Rate, and he had defeated Xi Mén Tuoye, and his martial arts had already reached the edge of super-first-class. It's just that I'm a little too young, but in short, it's all in line.
