Chapter 988 A Shocking Case, Xun Shuang Gets Promoted! (Part 2)
The night gradually faded, and Hexi's morning light slowly shone on the earth. Luoyang under the morning light does not have the sense of harmony that the day's plan depends on the morning. Instead, it is filled with this majestic and surging murderous intention, as if the air is not filled with fresh air, but with the smell of blood.
After all, Xu Feng's mansion was beyond everyone's expectation, and a fierce fighting took place. This is not an acting show between Zhao Zhong and Feng Xu, but a real fight. The chaotic situation turned the entire street red. Even the surrounding businesses were affected. It was really a disaster coming from heaven.
In a private house near the northern city gate of Luoyang, Lin Mu and others were sitting on the ground resting out of breath.
"It's exciting, it's so exciting! I didn't expect that you have such ventriloquism skills, and you can actually play with several enemies in the middle of applause. Amazing!" Lin Mu praised Tianjia Ninety-Three.
"It's just heresy." Tianjia Ninety-Three was also panting. He had participated in a fierce battle.
"Lord, prepare to run over here holding something, it's too dangerous!" Tianjia Jiu San said happily.
"If I hadn't picked you up, you would have come back alive..." Lin Mu said with a smile.
"Yes, I really didn't expect that there were actually a few oriole hiding behind the scenes. If it weren't for the lord's extremely Yin Pearl, we don't know if we would have been able to escape!" Tianjia Ninety-Three took a deep breath and took a deep breath. Take another breath.
"It's a pity... there are a few oriole around, and there are too many things in the secret vault, so we can't get in at all." Lin Mu said with a look of regret.
"Lord, please go into the secret room. It's still a little unsafe here." Tianjia Ninety-Three said.
"Okay!" Lin Mu followed him and hid in the secret room.
In fact, Lin Mu knew that he was like a firefly in the dark holding this sword. It was only a matter of time before those people would find him.
"Tianjia Ninety-Three, is there anything you can't put in your backpack?" In the darkness, Lin Mu sat in a dark secret room holding a broad sword wrapped in brocade cloth. asked.
At this moment, the basic task of connecting trees has been completed in the Great Wilderness Territory. The secret room he was hiding in was not the previous secret room, but an unused secret room near the gate of Luoyang City.
At this moment, they are walking on thin ice, and if they are not careful, they will die in a foreign country.
"Yes, there are three things that can't be put in." Tianjia Jiu San said in a condensed voice, and then pushed out three huge jade boxes.
The three jade boxes all glowed with faint fluorescent colors, looking like rainbows in the morning sunlight.
nice one! Lin Mu emptied out the secret warehouse of Feng Xu's mansion, and only the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword failed to be put into the space prop.
Unexpectedly, Xu Feng had three here.
"My lord, according to my prediction, these three things should be the soul-like original herbs that my lord is looking for."
"The three jade boxes are not small. If they are all good things as you said, that would be great!" Lin Mu said with a smile. However, instead of taking the three jade boxes, he pushed them back.
Moreover, Lin Mu also took out the Yuanlong Ring and the Ancient Soldier Talisman and gave them to Tianjia Ninety-Three.
"Lord, what are you doing?" Tianjia Jiu San looked confused. At this moment, he didn't know what Lin Mu was holding in his arms. If he knew, he might just bring the Longyuan Sword over and carry it with him. After all, it is a light, a light that attracts jackals, tigers and leopards to swarm in!
"You take these things and temporarily evacuate the Night Shadow Department from Luoyang. A big purge may occur here. Only the people from the Huang Department are left to run the industry and gather information." Lin Mu said solemnly.
Lin Mu pondered for a while, then quickly took out his props and wrote a letter, wrapped it up and handed it to Tianjia Jiu San, saying: "Also, please have someone bring this letter to Teacher Xun Shuang. If there is a chance, this letter This letter may be my life-saving letter.”
"No need to ask any more questions, you first pass through the North City Gate, take a boat, go down the Yellow River from the north, and return to the Great Wilderness territory through the sea."
"All the ships are ready, you can take the best one!" Lin Muyi pointed out.
"As for me, there will be a way to leave. You don't need to say anything." Lin Mu directly stopped Tianjia Jiu San who wanted to speak.
"Okay, that's all for now. Have a good trip." Lin Mu waved his hand, stood up and left the secret room.
Looking at the light of the morning sun, feeling a sense of clarity filling his heart, Lin Mu sighed softly, then held the brocade cloth and waved it lightly, browsed the city wall, and rushed to a certain place.
After Lin Mu left for a while, Tianjia 93 and others also left.
…
…
"Yuan Feng, you are in charge of Jinwu, and a shocking case occurred in the city. How do you explain it?" At this moment, changes are taking place in Longting.
Everyone in the hall who had not slept all night was slightly shocked when they heard this sentence. Immediately it dawned on me.
Zhi Jinwu, this is being pushed out as a scapegoat.
Yesterday I promoted Yuan Wei to the rank of Taiwei, and today I demoted Yuan Feng. What can you do to me? This routine is all too familiar.
"Wei Chen neglected the security of the city and deserved to die..." Yuan Feng's expression was not bad. Staying up all night was nothing to them.
"Humph... There are hundreds of thousands of Taiping Roads in the city. Fortunately, there are Yulin Guards, otherwise I don't know what kind of trouble would have occurred. And now, a mansion with such a strong defense like Shi Changshi has also been taken advantage of by bad guys to disrupt Luoyang with cholera. Do you want to destroy the foundation of our great nation?" Liu Hong remained calm and powerful.
Although he was heartbroken over the loss of one and a half storeys of supplies, he couldn't speak out openly and could only find some excuses to cause trouble.
"Your humble servant..." Yuan Feng wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Liu Hong.
"You don't need to refute anything. As the Prefect of the Guards, it's your fault that the public security in the city is in such a mess. Now, you resign as the Prefect of the Guards. As for the new official position, we will talk about it later." Liu Hong waved his hand and said.
"Yes!" Yuan Feng's face was extremely calm. Liu Hong just stroked his Prefect of the Guards, not letting him go home to retire. As long as he is still in the Dragon Court, he still has a chance to sit in the position of Prefect of the Guards.
"In order to settle the people's hearts and sort out the public security, I ordered the great scholar Xun Shuang to be the Prefect of the Guards. You can hand over." Liu Hong said the new appointment directly with a thunderbolt.
Great scholar Xun Shuang? The guy who was affected by the Party Banishment Disaster, who had just returned to the marginal role of the Dragon Court through some means recently, actually sat on the throne of the Prefect of the Guards directly? !
Many people present were surprised, especially He Jin's younger brother He Miao, whose eyes were red. I thought Yuan Feng was taken away, and he, a relative, would come in, but I didn't expect it to be Xun Shuang!
"Xun Shuang, since you are the new Prefect of the Guards, you must promote some new talents. You should appoint people based on kinship. Why not let the talented people from your Xun family come here? I heard that Xun Yu, Xun You and others are all talented people. Let's choose them!" Liu Hong was furious earlier, but at this moment, his face was full of red.
"Your Majesty is so kind! However, the children of my family are still at home listening to the teachings of their elders, and may not want to serve for the time being." Xun Shuang stepped out of the line and said calmly.
"Why, are you, the children of the Xun family, so afraid of coming to this cage?" Liu Hong's face suddenly changed, and he said aggressively.
When everyone heard that word, they all lowered their heads and dared not touch Liu Hong's eyes.
"My Great Han Divine Capital is a blessed land that people all over the world yearn for. How can it be a cage? I will write ten letters and let my brothers arrange for them to get promoted as soon as possible to serve Your Majesty." Xun Shuang said helplessly.
Xun Shuang didn't expect Liu Hong to actually target the talents of his family. In fact, Xun Yu, Xun You and others wanted to become officials and exercise themselves, but they were stopped by him because he became an official! In the case of unclear situation in Luoyang, the Xun family really didn't want to be involved too much.
In fact, if Lin Mu hadn't appeared, he wouldn't have become an official, but for various reasons, many things changed. However, Xun Yu and others still couldn't escape fate and came to Luoyang again!
Liu Hong dared to do this because he knew that the Xun family was different from other prominent families. Even the Yang family, which seemed loyal to outsiders, did not have such a high status in his heart as the Xun family.
The Xun family basically produced counselors, who were conscientious and would fight but not fierce. They were not as ambitious as other noble families and wanted to be powerful officials.
"Your Majesty, the people in the city are now unstable and the public security is worrying. I will go down to rectify, appease the people and stabilize the capital." Xun Shuang bowed his head, saluted, and said in a deep voice.
Xun Shuang's expression showed no joy or sorrow, and he looked calm and composed, even after being promoted to the position of the Imperial Guards.
People close to the Xun family thought that Xun Shuang looked like a master, and people who hated the Xun family, such as He Miao, secretly cursed him for being pretentious.
However, Liu Hong still let Xun Shuang leave.
Xun Shuang was the seventh person to leave the hall after Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Lu Zhi, Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang, and He Jin.
