The old man in gray clothes was silent for a while, speechless.
Finally, one word came out of his mouth.
"Grass!"
Taking a deep breath, he said helplessly: "When have I, Xuanyi Guard, ever been so frustrated? Forget it, it's useless to talk about this. You should hurry up and complete the supervisor's instructions.
Remember to be respectful, otherwise even if he really beats you to death, your father will not stand up for you! "
"knew!"
Wang Baihu rolled his eyes.
The longer he lives, the less courageous he becomes. Ever since his father was promoted to deputy 1,000 households and practiced to the master level, he has become less and less courageous. He has been practicing hard in the secret room all year round and basically doesn't care about the family's affairs.
If you are not greedy for money or power, and you don't even engage in women's sex, what's the point of living like this?
With Song Xuan's previous lessons and his father's instructions, Wang Baihu's work efficiency was very fast. In less than half an hour, dozens of Xuanyi guards carried boxes one by one and placed them in Song Xuan's house. in front of.
Song Xuan withdrew his consciousness, casually took out a dossier from a box and started reading it.
He flipped through the files very quickly. It took him almost a dozen breaths to complete a file. Not long after, he had read through an entire box of files.
Wang Baihu's forehead was sweating.
Sir, I know you are here to get gold plating and you need to go through a process, but are you too casual?
At your speed, you probably haven't even read the words clearly yet. What can you find out?
...
When Song Xuan was checking the case files, a group of high-level local officials gathered in a mansion in Kaifeng City, Shanhe Mansion of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Kaifeng City is the state capital of the entire Song State, and Lord Zhou Mu’s government office is located here. It can be said that the huge mansion covering an area of hundreds of acres is the highest power center in charge of the more than one billion people in Song State!
Especially in the Northern Song Dynasty, the government's decrees were far less effective than Zhou Mu's words!
In the meeting hall of Zhou Mu Yamen, Song Zhou Mu Zhao Kuangyin sat high on the main seat, looking around at the officials from various government offices on the left and right sides.
The officials summoned by him this time, in addition to the prefects from various places, also had military officers stationed in various prefectures. Even the Xuanyi Guard Qianhu, at this moment, they all looked at him and sat aside honestly.
"I've called you all here just for one thing."
He glanced at Gao Changlin and other Xuanyi guards Qianhu, and continued: "I have received news that the inspector of the imperial capital has left the Southern Song Dynasty for the Northern Song Dynasty.
Perhaps at this time, we have reached the border of the Northern Song Dynasty. "
As soon as these words came out, many people in the hall exclaimed, and some officials even showed anxious looks on their faces.
"Lord Zhou Mu, Inspector Song Xuan has arrived?"
Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said, "Why, you all look a little weak!"
Everyone sneered. The shadow of the famous tree. Others didn't know who Song Xuan was, but as senior officials of a state, they had their own sources of information.
Let’s not talk about Song Xuan’s strength, but how could they not know the name of the God of Killing?
With one man's strength, he almost slaughtered the entire army of Qingzhou. Who wouldn't be worried about the killing power?
Regardless of the fact that the Xuanyi Guard Qianhu in the Northern Song Dynasty had been completely suppressed by Master Zhou Mu, this time, it was the inspector from the imperial capital.
If the other party is really determined to cause trouble, it won't be enough for them to die ten times!
Zhao Kuangyin said nothing, but his brother Zhao Guangyi, who was sitting next to him, spoke first. Looking at the senior officials in the hall, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Look at how cowardly you all are. You're just a young man who came to the imperial capital to get gold. How can you turn the world upside down?
Remember, this is not the imperial capital, but Songzhou!
Here, my Zhao family is the real owner! "
When he said this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became much more relaxed, and many people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But some people said that the situation was not optimistic. A civil servant stood up and said: "Lord Zhou Mu, having said that, the Xuanyi Guards of the Imperial Capital are still a behemoth that we cannot contend with.
If the Imperial Capital is really serious about it, we are no match at all! "
"You're worrying too much!"
Zhao Kuangyin's voice was rich and calm. The purpose of convening this meeting was to appease officials from all over the country and stabilize the situation. We must give them some insight at this moment, otherwise people will be scattered and it will be difficult to lead the team in the future.
"I will tell you the truth. Over in the imperial capital, the Emperor and the Xuanyiwei family are having a game."
"I think you all should have noticed that the Xuanyi Guards who used to be strong in the past are now much more reserved. It is even difficult for the first-class Xuanyi Guards to leave the imperial capital. From this point alone, we can see that the Emperor has the upper hand!"
A prefect stood up and asked: "So, sir, we are considered to be the emperor's family, right?"
Zhao Kuangyin smiled and shook his head, "We don't stand with any of us. We are neither the emperor's people nor the Xuanyi Guards of the imperial capital. We, Songzhou, are a force in our own right!
The emperor is competing with the Xuanyiwei family. We only need to watch from the other side and remain neutral. Taking advantage of this gap to continue to strengthen ourselves is the right way!
Think about it, your life has been very comfortable in the past twenty or thirty years, right? "
In the hall, all the civil and military officials laughed.
It's more than comfortable.
The emperor and Xuanyiwei were fighting among themselves and had no time to pay attention to local forces. They officials only needed to be loyal to the state pastor. At other times, in their respective territories, they were simply the superior local emperors.
If they want money and power, they recruit martial arts masters and form an army of warriors. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have reached the pinnacle of their lives.
Zhou Changlin and several other Xuanyi guards Qianhu looked at each other, with a hint of embarrassment in their eyes.
They were supposed to be sharp swords hanging over the heads of these civil and military officials, but now they were mixed with local officials, and no one took them seriously. This felt somewhat unpleasant.
But there is no way, Zhao Kuangyin is too strong.
This person is not only a top martial arts master, but he even has the support of a secluded grand master. Qianhu, who refused to surrender back then, either disappeared or died while hunting down people from the martial arts demon sect.
As an official in the Northern Song Dynasty, if you don't get Zhao Kuangyin's approval, you won't be able to survive!
"grown ups!"
Zhou Changlin frowned, stood up and said: "Song Xuan has an extraordinary status after all, and he is also an inspector. If he comes prepared, I am afraid that thousands of households like us will not be able to cope with it."
"Don't worry Zhou Qianhu!"
Zhao Kuangyin turned his head and looked at his younger brother Zhao Guangyi, "Tell everyone about Song Xuan's situation!"
Zhao Guangyi nodded, stood up and said: "In the past two years, I have collected a lot of information about Song Xuan.
Song Xuan was born in the Xuanyiwei family in the imperial capital. His father, Song Yuanshan, was a well-known old bastard in the Xuanyiwei family. He had the title of second-class Xuanyiwei and was idle all day long without a specific position.
Song Xuan followed his father, had a lazy temperament, and dawdled around as an errand. There were many fish masters in the empire, and he was nicknamed the little prince.
Don't ask me what "fishing master" means. Anyway, it is a new term among the younger generation in the imperial capital. It means that he is very good at goofing off at work and has always been able to avoid errands. He is not a person who likes to take care of things! "
