Indefinite City Lord

Chapter 8 Duanmu Yuanhui
The prison guard is a very special office in charge of Su She.
Different from the various ministries and prefectures of the three provinces in the DPRK and China,
It is also different from the army and zhechong!
The prison gate guard is a new yamen established by the current monarch Duanmu Yuanhui after he succeeded to the throne!
After the Prison Guard was established,

Taking over the prison gate and military secret agents originally under the jurisdiction of Qianniuwei,
At the same time, it also took care of the duties of the supervisory officials who were originally responsible for the Procuratorate!

The prison guard and spy are like a sharp sword pulled out by the monarch Duanmu Yuanhui,
Together with introspection, serve Duanmu Yuanhui's practice and control the entire Sushe!
The current prison guard general is Duanmu Yuanhui's former son-in-law Shi Lingfu!

……

……

Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation,

General Shi Lingfu, the prison guard, had already been waiting outside.

A few days ago, after Cai Jin submitted the secret report of the southern stocking place to him,

The first time he came to the palace,
It's just that the king enlightened the way and retreated,

He could only go back impatiently and helplessly and wait for the emperor to summon him.

half an hour ago,
When the second secret report from the southern stocking place was delivered to him,
He hurried to the palace again!

It just so happened that Jun Shang was leaving the customs at this time, so he didn't make him wait any longer!
And your majesty received the secret report,
The minister was summoned to the palace overnight.

……

……

Wait until the eunuchs of the Internal Servant's Mansion take away the ministers and horses entering the palace,

The ministers looked at each other in doubt!

On the way to the health hall,
The crowd naturally divided into two small groups, civil and military.

When he saw the guard general Shi Lingfu who was already waiting outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation,

Everyone frowned slightly!
Many people felt disgusted in their hearts.
What kind of tricks is this vicious dog doing?
But everyone is a veteran of the officialdom,
Although I don't like it,

But they still greeted each other with a look of concern for the country and the people and friendly colleagues!

"General Shi, Your Majesty summoned us so late, I don't know why?"

General Cai Hechen, who was familiar with Shi Lingfu, asked in a low voice.

For a moment, the eyes of the people who were still whispering to each other drifted over unconsciously.

"After a while, you will know when you go in!"

Shi Lingfu squinted his eyes and glanced at the small circle of civil servants and said softly.

Although the sound was not loud, it was enough for the dozen or so people present to hear it.

Seeing Shi Lingfu's appearance,

General Cai He'an of the Right Guard couldn't ask any further questions.

And seeing the civil servants on the side no longer look over,
Only then did Shi Lingfu touch Cai Hean quietly,

"Received a secret report from the southern stocking place,
The Lord of Wuding City has plans to become king! "

Hearing Shi Lingfu's words, Cai He'an and the generals beside him hurriedly whispered!

Several old generals winked,

It made the civil servants on the side annoyed and helpless!

There is even more contempt for Shi Lingfu, a vicious dog!
Vicious dog Shi Lingfu, you Hanlin scum!
I'm waiting for you!

Several civil servants slandered for a while!
When more than ten ministers were whispering,

The old eunuch came out from the health hall,
See the old eunuch,
The ministers present were disgusted again,
However, they still greeted each other with a look of concern for the country and the people.
"Director Dou!"

And the old eunuch just glanced sideways at everyone,
Then he waved the dust in his hands, and a soft voice sounded.

"My lords, come with me, Your Majesty summons you!"

……

……

Duanmu Yuanhui in a dark gold embroidered dragon robe,
Looking at the several portraits on the easel in front of me,

The body is motionless!
Looking at the portraits in front of me one by one,
In the end, it was settled on the first portrait.

This picture shows an ordinary-looking man with a square face,

There is nothing particularly striking between the brows,

If placed in a crowd,
It won't make people look at it more!
It's just the text marked below that made Duanmu Yuanhui ponder for a long time.

The Lord of the Undecided City——Wang Hui,
Pseudonym Wang Yue, Wang Qingtian, Wang Laosi, Wang Laoba, Wang Laojiu, Wang Buer——

Started in Yizhou in the 11th year of Jianzhao,
In the 13th year of Jianzhao, Wuding City was seized,
Kingship is imminent!

The short text made Duanmu Yuanhui's eyes gradually turn cold!

Until the sound of footsteps behind me,

To make him withdraw his thoughts,

The bulging dragon robe on his body is slowly falling down!
"Your Majesty, all your lords have arrived!"

The old eunuch Dou Wei bowed and stood beside Duanmu Yuanhui, and said softly.

"Ok!"

Just responded, Duanmu Yuanhui didn't turn around,
His eyes still fell on the portrait in front of him.

The air in the hall seemed to be a bit depressed,

Standing a few steps away from Duanmu Yuanhui, more than a dozen Su She ministers,
Each of them stood with their hands down on the temple,
Eyes and noses, noses and hearts!
Although everyone was thinking, no one was in a hurry to speak!
After a long time,

Duanmu Yuanhui's long-standing figure suddenly turned around,
He looked at the eleven Su She Guozhu behind him!
...

"It's all here!"

Duanmu Yuanhui suddenly laughed,

The originally oppressive air in the hall suddenly loosened!
"Dou Wei, show them!"

"Yes!"

The old eunuch waved his hand to let the eunuch who had finished recording the secret letter distribute the papers to everyone!
Duanmu Yuanhui walked behind the copybook and sat on the dragon chair!
"Shi Lingfu!"

"The minister is here!" Shi Lingfu took a step forward and bowed in response.

"Tell them about the situation!"

"Yes!" Shi Lingfu walked to the place where Duanmu Yuanhui was standing just now,
He took the document handed over by the little eunuch on the side.

"In the winter of the 13th year of Jianzhao, thieves and bandits in the southern free-ranging land rebelled,
The king took back Wuding City and proclaimed himself Lord of Wuding City!
The ten towns in the southern stocking land are unified,
The intention to become king is clear!

This is the portrait of the thieves in the southern stocking land brought back by the spy Qianli Jibao! "

As he spoke, Shi Lingfu pointed to the first portrait,
"This is the portrait of the Thief King Hui!"

"These are portraits of his accomplices in rebellion!"

After finishing speaking, Shi Lingfu obediently walked back among the crowd,
It seems that this is the only way to make him feel at ease!

And get the secret report of the family record,

More than a dozen ministers read it carefully!
Some of them were old and dim-sighted,

There is also a little eunuch holding a candle to light up!
After a cup of tea,
The ministers who just received the secret report,
They all carefully read the contents of the secret report!
First of all, it wasn't the generals who couldn't bear it.

It's Mi Zhu, the second-rank servant in the province.

I saw him take a step forward and said loudly,
"For Your Majesty, this secret report is too brief,
Now that the Southern Expedition is imminent, there is no secret report until today!

The crime of dereliction of duty by the general Shi Lingfu, the minister and prison guard! "

As he said that, Mi Zhu, a waiter in his 50s with a half-white beard, had his eyes widened.
It seems that as long as Duanmu Yuanhui agrees,

He was about to rush forward and take Shi Lingfu down.

Shi Lingfu had already shrunk into the crowd after he finished speaking.

Tonight he knew he was not going to have a good time,
But I didn't expect someone to target me from the beginning.

Think about the little advantage I took just now,
Immediately, he scolded his mother in his heart.

If I had known that these civil servants were narrow-minded,
I didn't expect to be so careful,
Only scholars and villains are difficult to raise!
Old stuff, I remember you!
Shi Lingfu's mind was spinning,
But the body still knelt down smoothly,
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"

"This year is the year of the Southern Expedition, and the minister has already arranged for elite guards to go south,"

"It's just that the journey is far away, and I was able to return in the past few days!"

Mi Zhu, the waiter, heard Shi Lingfu's justification, sneered in his heart, and said again,

"If I knew the journey was far away, I should have prepared earlier,
Now the Southern Expedition is imminent,

It is an unforgivable crime for you to delay the military situation! "

Shi Lingfu had the intention of strangling Mi Zhu to death,

But now I can only kneel under the dragon case with a face of sincerity and fear,
"Your Majesty is aware!"

Duanmu Yuanhui looked at the secret letter in the silver secret box beside him,
And ignored the dispute below!

"To Your Majesty,"

General Qianniuwei, Prince Huai, Duanmuyi came out,

"I am willing to lead the army to the south to wipe out the bandits in the south!"

"To Your Majesty,"

Minister of the Ministry of War Yu Jian came out and said,
"At the court meeting that day, it has been decided that this year's Southern Expedition will be sent by the Ministry of War to select generals and schools,"

"Conscript the rangers of the rivers and lakes as the front vanguard, and the troops stationed in various places as the central army!"

"General Duanmu doesn't have to worry about the Nankou anymore!"

Duanmuyi frowned, and planned to continue talking.

At this time, Duanmu Yuanhui raised his head after the dragon case,
"Okay, stop arguing!"

Immediately, all the ministers in the hall fell silent.

"I called you here tonight, not to talk about it!"

"Things decided by the court will be carried out as usual!"

Duanmu Yuanhui glanced at Duanmu Yi and Yu Jian,

The two returned together!
Then he asked in a low voice,
"What do you think of the military situation in the southern stocking areas?"

"My lord, you are just a bunch of jumping clowns. It is hard to become a master, so nothing to be afraid of!"

Left Guard General Wang Mang said with a smile,

"When my Su Shebing front arrives, the bandits will definitely disperse like birds and beasts!"

Hearing what Zuowei General Wang Mang said, all the ministers in the hall smiled and said yes,

He was not too worried about the military situation in the secret report.

The once-in-a-decade Southern Expedition has lasted for a hundred years,
It is not so much a southern expedition,

It's better to say that it's just the needs of Su She's training!
"Dou Wei, show them!"

For the easy chat and laughter of the ministers in the palace,
Duanmu Yuanhui didn't stop him,

He just asked the old eunuch standing beside him to hand out a stack of papers on the desk.

The paper was about an inch wide, and it was densely covered with small characters!
When the ministers in the palace got the paper from the old eunuch,
Take a closer look,
Almost at the same time, his eyes shrank,
The heart beats violently,

Some even took a breath of air!
The hand holding the feather-light paper trembled slightly!
I saw this densely written paper,

The first four characters are "Sushemin Daily"

On the side, there are three smaller black characters "A book for thieves",
Then below a vertical line,
There are a few more small words: Su She has no way for the court, Duanmu Yuanhui should be punished for his crime!

Then there is an eloquent article with more than a thousand words:

Here is Duanmu Yuanhui, a heavenly thief, who is in vain as a ruler, bullying the sky above and abusing the people below.

Since he was in power, he has appointed treacherous craftsmen, no real literature, no real martial arts.

I Wuding ten towns people, originally obedient people, I gave money to the above,

I deserve Mu Jun's kindness, but why don't you be the king.

So that there are no roof tiles above and no closed doors below,

There is no shrine for worship, and no relatives for raising children.

……

……

When the book went to various places, he showed his troops and cooperated with General Wuding.

Raise your might, and conquer the world, and help all the people together.

——Wang Hui, the lord of Wuding City!
……

And the first time I saw the paper,

Shi Lingfu, the general of the prison gate guard, was shocked.
He was kneeling on the ground,

At this time, I almost collapsed!
"The minister should die!"

"Your Majesty, please punish the minister for the crime of negligence!"

And Duanmu Yuanhui, who had a warm face just now,

At this time, the harmony just now was gone.

The face is covered with frost!

"Humph……"

"General Shi, you are in charge of the guards,"

"It's so comfortable!"

"The military situation in the southern stocking area has only arrived now, so it's just a long distance!"

"You can't see or hear what happened in Huai Rong City?"

"This 'Letter for Thieves' came out earlier than my 'Appeal'!"

"I've become a thief now!"

Duanmu Yuanhui said,

The same densely packed paper in his hand has been kneaded into a ball of powder by him!
At this time, the air in the hall seemed to be squeezed together,
Rao is like a few ministers,
I was also a little dazed by the sudden appearance of the "Sushemin Daily"!

what is this,
This is public treason!

Within the Nine Clans, all are punished with the death penalty of beheading!

From ancient times to the present,

It should also be the first article to publicly rebel!

Just now I joked that the stocking in the south is overreaching,

Now it feels like,

Like a majestic lion being ridden on top of its head by a black-bone chicken and pooping,
Little harm, but extremely insulting!
Even if Duanmufeng, the founding ancestor of Su She, destroyed Hou and established the country,

I have never seen such a straightforward writing!

Shi Lingfu knelt on the ground,
Trembling all over.

……

……

　Would it be a bit of a spoiler to write this kind of plot!
