Now Lin Xiqi and Du Fuchong are the only two left, but they have not concealed their identities as Liangzhou Mu, so they have to find someone to escort them.

They showed their identities in Zhangye County, and asked the government to send them directly to the State Shepherd's Mansion in Liangzhou.

Gao Lin is still in the State Shepherd's Mansion now, he needs to wait until the new State Shepherd arrives, and he can leave after the handover is done.

After learning from the people below that the new state shepherd had been attacked by gangsters, Gao Lin was furious.

If something happened to the new Liangzhou shepherd, he would also be responsible.

After all, he has not yet resigned as the shepherd of Liangzhou. If something like this happened in Liangzhou, he, the shepherd of Liangzhou, has to give an explanation to the court.

When Lin Xiqi was escorted by officers and soldiers to a place thirty miles outside Liangzhou City, Gao Lin personally led the officials of the state city to greet him here.

"Master Gao, you're too polite, it's a shame." After getting off the carriage, Lin Xiqi walked quickly to Gao Lin, cupping her hands.

"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, it's Gao's negligence that surprised Master Wei." Gao Lin stepped forward and said kindly.

"This has nothing to do with your lord, it's all caused by some thieves. Fortunately, the guards resisted desperately, and the coachman below was clever and escaped this time." Lin Xiqi pretended to be terrified.

"This matter, Mr. Gao will definitely give Master Wei an explanation." Gao Lin said, "Master Wei, why don't you advance into the city?"

Lin Xiqi nodded.

Then came the day when Gao Lin and Lin Xiqi handed over.

When we first met, Gao Lin said that he was giving himself an explanation, but these days, Gao Lin never mentioned it at all.

That is, at the very beginning, Gao Lin wrote a letter to the imperial court, explaining what happened to him when he was attacked. Afterwards, he dealt with business with himself, and handed over the big and small affairs in Liangzhou to himself.

Looking at it like this, he was going to be the shopkeeper when he was attacked.

But it is understandable for Lin Xiqi to think about it.

Gao Lin was about to leave soon, even if he wanted to investigate these matters, he didn't have enough time.

He was able to write a letter to the court, which was already a show of sincerity. What to do next, whether to pursue it or not, is actually his own business.

Five days later, Gao Lin bid farewell and left the State Shepherd's Mansion.

This is considered to be the completion of the handover of Gao Lin, and it is time for Lin Xiqi to exercise the state pastoral power.

Lin Xiqi moved into the State Shepherd's Mansion and became the new Liangzhou State Shepherd.

After accepting the congratulations from the officials of Liangzhou, Lin Xiqi came to the study alone.

Just as he sat down at the desk and was about to think about the next thing, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in." Lin Xiqi called out.

The door opened, and a pretty maid came in with tea.

"My lord, please have some tea." The maid put the tea on Lin Xiqi's desk and left.

Lin Xiqi removed the teacup on the desk, and there was a small stacked note under the teacup.

It was left when the maid brought tea in.

Lin Xiqi opened the note and took a look.

"At the third watch, the backyard of the mansion." Lin Xiqi read softly.

"Okay, it turns out that Red Lotus Sect disciples have already sneaked into Liangzhou State Shepherd's Mansion." Lin Xiqi thought to himself.

Lin Xiqi knew very well that this must be someone from the Red Lotus Sect passing the news to him, and they will meet in the backyard at midnight.

If it's someone from the fifth prince's side, there's no need to bother so much.

I am from the fifth prince's side, and the other princes have also compromised on the matter of Liangzhou. Everyone knows that there is no need to cover up the relationship between the fifth prince and himself.

Only the Red Lotus Sect, which has been operating in Liangzhou for a long time, has inserted its disciples early and acted secretly.

There are disciples of the Red Lotus Sect in the state shepherd's mansion, not to mention the other county sheriff's mansions and county government offices.

The infiltration of the Red Lotus Sect members is impossible to guard against.

This is also the reason why Lin Xiqi dare not neglect the Red Lotus Sect.

If you really want to make a move, you have to be ruthless, and you must hit with one blow, which will severely damage the Red Lotus Sect in Liangzhou.

If one blow fails, then I am afraid that there will be endless troubles waiting for him. The Red Lotus Sect has this strength.

This is definitely not the result he wants to see.

Now that he has the identity of Bai Sen, and he is also the co-rudder master, his status is high enough, so many things can be done easily.

After all, in Liangzhou, those with higher status than him were the helmsman and Jiang Ruhe, and the other two co-rudders were all about the same.

Lin Xiqi asked Du Fuchong to be found.

Now Du Fuchong, the coachman, is Lin Xiqi's confidant.

At least that's how it looks to outsiders.

The outsiders got the news that the coachman escaped with the carriage and saved Master Zhou's life.

Therefore, Lin Xiqi directly gave Du Fuchong, the coachman, a lot of preferential treatment, and now he can definitely move around in the state pastoral mansion at will.

Now that he is treated like this in the mansion, he is alone.

This made many people jealous.

Xinzhou Mu took office, which means that there are many opportunities.

Many people want to attach themselves to Xinzhou Mu and strive for greater power for themselves.

Therefore, Du Fuchong, the coachman, has recently become a fragrant bun.

As big as the sheriffs of various counties, as small as some magistrates, they are trying their best to find out from him the preferences of the state shepherd.

In this regard, Du Fuchong never refuses anyone who comes, and accepts the benefits, and the adults will naturally say what they like, of course it is the preference of Zhen Weiju.

"Have you been soft on collecting money recently?" Seeing Du Fu rushing in, Lin Xiqi chuckled and said.

"My lord, please don't make fun of this old slave." Du Fuchong said with a wry smile, "This is really a man who has risen to heaven alone. This old slave is just a coachman, but now he is in a state of affairs. Those county guards may still You don't feel ashamed to look for me in person, but you also sent your cronies. Tsk tsk, it's better to be an official."

"Stop talking nonsense." Lin Xiqi said, and threw the note in his hand at Du Fuchong.

After Du Fuchong caught it, he glanced at it, frowned slightly and said, "This should be from the Red Lotus Sect, right?"

"Yeah, look, I just entered the Zhuzhou Shepherd's Mansion, and someone sent me the news immediately. The Red Lotus Sect is really hard to guard against." Lin Xiqi sighed.

"My lord, it's normal in the State Shepherd's Mansion." Du Fuchong smiled and said, "As far as I know, it's not just people from the Red Lotus Sect here, even if there are people from the Houyuan Tartars. .”

"You're right, these spies are really pervasive." Lin Xiqi nodded.

"Actually, it's because of his predecessor, Gao Lin." Du Fuchong said, "During his tenure as the shepherd of Liangzhou, he didn't seek meritorious deeds, no matter how many spies or pawns of other forces were mixed into the mansion, he didn't pay much attention to it. .”

"Mediocre officer." Lin Xiqi said.

Gao Lin didn't do much in Liangzhou, he just passed his time limit and then transferred away.

This is his way of being an official.

"Actually, he can't be blamed." Du Fuchong said, "Gao Lin doesn't have a strong background and is loyal to the imperial court. This Liangzhou is a border land, and he has to face the princes' wooing, and he has to face the Houyuan Tartars." Zi's ​​military front, and the threat of the Red Lotus Sect, these things are beyond his ability to deal with. He was not offended by anyone at the time, so he was not in any danger. Everyone is happy to see such a cold State shepherd, at least for the time being, can maintain balance. Under normal circumstances, everyone will not completely tear each other apart, unless there are some huge interests that need to be dealt with."

Lin Xiqi sighed, he knew Du Fuchong was right.

A person instinctively protects himself, yes.

"Let's not talk about Gao Lin, I came here to hear what you mean. I don't know who the Red Lotus Church will send over. I don't know what instructions there will be to convey." Lin Xiqi said.
