That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1242 Talking about state affairs between wine and meat

Gangneung City.

Strange to say, after the baptism of Tianlei, many buildings in the city were unscathed except for some black scorched marks. The more damage was caused by the fight between Xu Beiyou and Xiao Jin.

As for the creatures in the city, before Xiao Jin cast the spell, the people in the city had already started to evacuate one after another, but even so, there were tens of thousands of innocent people who died under the ghost king's secret technique. It can also be said that the fate of the body is more than enough.

After the thunder, the 10,000+ people who wandered outside the city did not dare to enter the city easily. They were afraid that there would be evil spirits after entering the city, or another thunder would fall. The 10,000+ people surrounded Jiangling City like refugees until Wei Wuji led an army to arrive. , under the pretense of demons and demons, declared to the people that the king of Wei who used demons in the city had been struck to death by thunder, and his sorcery had been destroyed by thunder, and then threatened with a large army, and finally Wei Wuji took the lead to kill himself. Xingyuan moved into the city of Jiangling, half persuading and half forcing, which made 10,000+ people return to the city.

As for Xiao Jin, as he himself said, only if he wins can he be promoted to 33 days, and if he loses, he will go to hell on the [-]th floor.If Xiao Jin wins and wins the world, this big scandal in Jiangling City will always be covered up, and the beauty will cover up all the ugliness. Whether it will be recorded in future history books is another matter. Even if there is, it is only a few words.

But now that Xiao Jin is defeated, he is doomed to be infamous forever.

After Wei Wuji entered the city, Xingyuan was placed on the former site of the Li family's mansion. Although most of the entire mansion had been destroyed, a small part survived. At this time, a large red sandalwood round table was placed in the living room of Xingyuan , four embroidered piers.The local host Wei Wuji sat on the top, and on the left and opposite sat three men dressed in jet-black brocade clothes, with a slightly gloomy face. Looking around, the brocade clothes were all in the style of a military officer with narrow sleeves and tight waist. The head of a white tiger has a long hem, hanging down to the top of the feet. On the feet are black-faced white-soled official boots.

If there is a knowledgeable person here, they will recognize that these three people are the well-known members of the Dark Guard House in the Daqi court, and they are also people with high official titles in the Dark Guard House, otherwise they cannot wear a symbol around their waists. The head of the white tiger in the White Tiger Hall.It is said that if one wants to become a high-ranking official of the Dark Guard Mansion, the first condition is that one's own realm is extremely high. If one wants to be a governor, one needs to be in the realm of the Earth Immortal at least. The above major monks will do.

This is the rule set by Taizu Gao Emperor Xiao Yu. After all, the Dark Guard Mansion is dedicated to picketing monks who commit crimes against the law, and if they don't have enough weight, they can't restrain those monks who have no law.

The three senior officials of the Dark Guard Mansion are old and young, they are Jiang Bin, the Governor of the Dark Guard Mansion, Jiang Bin, the Governor of the Dark Guard Mansion, Yang Shihe, and Chen Moling, the Governor of the White Tiger Hall of the Dark Guard Mansion. On the table in front of the three of them was a roasted whole lamb, and two large wine jars, the spicy wine smell could be faintly smelled through the mud seal.

Wei Wuji said with a smile: "Jiangling City has been devastated many times, and now the city is in ruins. There is no good wine or food, so we can only make ends meet with the meals in the barracks."

Although Yang Shihe was only at the peak of the human immortal realm before, he is a martial artist, and his killing power is not inferior to ordinary immortal monks. Now that he has broken through to the earth immortal realm, his combat power should not be underestimated. He reached out and took one He gently patted off the mud seal on the wine jar, poured himself a bowl of wine, and said with a smile, "Wei Shuai came out from our Dark Guard Mansion, and he is also the old boss of the three of us. They are all from our own family, not so many." Pay attention."

Jiang Bin said with a smile: "That's why, when Marshal Wei was in charge of the Dark Guard Mansion, we were all taken care of and supported by Marshal Wei. This time we came to Jiangnan under the order of the imperial court. If you take the title, you can score points, right? In front of Wei Shuai, this kind of thing is naturally not liked. If you want me to say, there is no need to read the imperial edict, just give it to Wei Shuai, and let Wei Shuai see it for himself."

Speaking of this, Jiang Bin cast his eyes on Chen Moling who was sitting beside him.

Chen Moling hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master Jiang is right."

While speaking, he pulled out a scroll woven with jade and silk from his sleeve, and offered it with both hands.

This is the imperial decree, and there are differences according to the grades of the officials who receive the decree. The first rank is a jade shaft, the second rank is a black rhino horn shaft, the third rank is a gold paste shaft, and the third rank is a black horn shaft. The above is made of fine silk, which is very elegant. .Wei Wuji occupies a high position of the first rank, so he naturally uses jade axes.

Wei Wuji didn't reach out to pick it up immediately, but said, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate?"

Master Yang stretched out his hand and gently pushed the scroll in front of Wei Wuji, and said with a smile, "There is nothing wrong with it. Does Wei Shuai really want us to make an eloquent statement? Even if Wei Shuai can bear it, we can't bear it."

"That's good." Wei Wuji finally reached out to pick up the imperial decree, but he didn't rush to open it, but put it in his sleeve, then cupped his hands at the three of them and said, "Wei has thanked the three of you."

After skipping the announcement of the decree, several people began to drink and eat meat. When they were full, Wei Wuji asked someone to clean up the mess on the table, leaving only two wine jars and four wine bowls. Getting to the point, Chen Moling said, "Mr. Ping'an had already given orders when we came here. Who should be arrested, who should not be arrested, and how to arrest them are all up to Wei Shuai. Wei Shuai, you just give orders, who should be arrested first, When do you do it?"

Speaking of this, the smile on Wei Wuji's face gradually faded away. He was sitting with his back to the light, so his face became darker, making it hard to see clearly. He said slowly: "The first thing to search is of course Jiangling. The Li family. Although the Li family’s ancestral house has been destroyed and the head of the family, Li Qingyu, has also died, the Li family has been rooted in the south of the Yangtze River for many years, and the family has a great business. First search the Li family, and then we can solve the urgent need of the Northwest military.”

Master Yang asked, "Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"

Wei Wuji said: "When it comes to the Li family, we really need to pay attention to one or two things. This Li family has two branches, which are called Jinling Li and Jiangdu Li respectively, so as to distinguish it from our own Jiangling Li. You must have heard of it. , these two families are closely related to the general. Jinling Li's eldest daughter, Li Qinglian, is the general's younger sister, and Jiangdu Li's young son, Li Shentong, is the general's disciple. Although these two families also have the surname Li, but for the sake of the general Up, but absolutely immovable."

"This subordinate understands." Yang Shihe nodded, picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip, then asked, "Except for the Li family?"

Wei Wuji thought for a while and said, "Apart from the big fish of the Li family, there is also Mr. Xie Ge. Mr. Xie Ge's Xie family is also a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. As an official, the Xie family was angered by the king of Wei, and suffered a lot. Xie Ge has made great contributions to the community, and has great virtues in the government and the public. Now that the Xie family is in such a catastrophe, we can't turn a blind eye, so I mean Yes, to resell some criminal properties irrelevant to the overall situation to the Xie family as compensation."

The three looked at each other, and finally Jiang Bin said, "Okay, we will do as Wei Shuai wants."

There was a smile on Wei Wuji's face again, and he picked up the wine bowl in front of him with both hands, "Drink."
