Meet...junhou?
Is it Marquis Gao Yuan?
Tang Zhao was moved in his heart and asked: "Is it possible for me to pay my respects to you if I want to?"
For Yunzhou, Marquis Gaoyuan is far more desirable than the imperial court. This is true as the saying goes, "I only know that there are princes, but I don't know that there is an emperor."
In a time of peace and prosperity or when a hero was in the government, such a figure would have found an excuse to be destroyed. But now the central government is weak and the localities are out of control. More than half of the world is listening to the princes from all over the country, and the court can't control it. Marquis Gaoyuan is not a special case, but in many places there are only two princes who can make the decision.
At least the Yunzhou Prosecution Department is directly responsible to the king and can be said to be a pro-military force. Tang Zhao, as a member of the Prosecution Department, was somewhat influenced by him, and he naturally longed for the monarch. What's more, being able to meet Marquis Gao Yuan will be of great benefit to his future.
The inspector said: "Of course ordinary people can't visit at will, but you must be able to. The Lord has heard of your name. If you want to go, I will report it in front of the Lord. When Deputy Mai reports to the Lord, just follow him." Register your name in front of the Lord, and everything will be easy to handle in the future. When the deputy envoy wants to transfer you to Zhaocheng, he will take action. "
Tang Zhao was startled, and Mai Shiyu smiled and said: "Xiao Tang was sent by the District Inspectorate to Zhuoyu Villa to learn sword-making. He will come back when his studies are successful. There will naturally be a position for him by then, but I may not be able to grab it. "
The inspector smiled and said: "A swordsmith? That's a good thing, so I want to grab it. This time Old Feng retreats, the deputy envoy will definitely be able to take a step forward. If you want to be an upright envoy, you must have a few capable people under you." . Those who are closer to the water get the moon first. If you keep the soup for Haocheng, you will also save the soup for our Riyang County. Isn't that a great thing?"
Tang Zhao suddenly realized that Deputy Ambassador Mai would not only report on the invasion of the turtle bandits when he returned to the state, but he might also be promoted to the rank of garrison envoy. After all, although Feng Zhilie saved his life, he is obviously not suitable to be a guard envoy, right?
If Mai Shiyu is sure that he has merits and demerits this time, then he can naturally take over as the guardian envoy. The guardian envoy in his twenties is younger than Xing Ji at that time.
Tang Zhao is now learning to make swords. If he succeeds in his studies in the future, he probably will not return to the normal order of inspection and division. However, if there was an internship period, it would be a good choice to work somewhere first. Mai Shiyu's place was also a good choice. Of course, he still waited for Xing Ji to speak.
At this time, I heard the patrol envoy say: "It just so happens that this guy Xingji won't rob you..."
Tang Zhao was stunned and blurted out: "What's wrong with Mr. Xing...?"
The last time he and Xing Ji communicated was a few months ago. At that time, he only knew that he had a mission. It seemed to be very secret. Every word was cautious, and he didn't ask too many questions. At this time, when I heard the inspector mention it, I seemed to be hesitant and my heart sank.
The inspector didn't care about his sudden words, and said to Tang Zhao and Mai Shiyu, "It's a strange thing to say. Xingji, this kid, didn't know why, and suddenly killed a prison envoy without permission. This is the end of it. Yes? The Prison Suppression Department is also a branch of the Prosecution Department. Now we are on equal footing with us, how can we kill without permission? The Prison Suppression Department immediately came to question us and almost started a fight."
Tang Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and Mai Shiyu heard it for the first time and blurted out: "Is it Jie Crow?"
The inspector said: "Exactly, have you also heard the news?"
Mai Shiyu sighed: "I don't know what happened in Jingli. The guard...Senior Xing once confirmed Jie Ya's information with me. I felt strange at the time. I didn't expect him to actually take action?"
Tang Zhao was shocked and remembered what he and Xingji had seen when they were in Lihuo Prison.
At that time Xing Ji and Jie Ya were still very good friends.
Could it be that their breakup was caused by one of his words?
It can't be said to be a sentence, but an introduction. Three years had passed since that sentence, and Xing Ji took action. Tang Zhao speculated that he must have verified through various means and confirmed that Jie Ya was indeed colluding with human traffickers and doing invisible things, and then finally took action.
He hurriedly asked: "What happened next? How was he?"
The inspector said: "Actually, I have heard about this too. Anyway, it is impossible for our Prosecution Department to hand over one of our own people to the Prison Department. It is said that Xing Ji has evidence in his hand, but that is useless. It is said that you killed Po Tian on your own initiative. It was impossible for the Prison Secretary to recognize the person. The two sides went back and forth for a long time. Later, the monarch personally intervened, separated the two sides, and then brought him up for questioning. The final decision was. Jie Ya deserved the crime, but the extreme punishment was lynching and killing. It is also illegal to take off the official uniform of the District Procuratorate and demote him to a commoner."
Tang Zhao was dejected, sad and relieved - as long as everything is fine, if you don't want to be an official... you won't be an official.
Mai Shiyu said in bewilderment: "Why is this so? Since there is evidence, if you arrest him, you will be punished with a canon. Why do you want to lynch and kill people? That's not what he said when he taught us."
The inspector lowered his voice and said: "I heard here... I heard nothing! Now there are rumors flying all over there, and the prison officer is almost making up stories. If you are familiar with him, ask him yourself. He is at Zhongtian Mansion. You can see him when you go to visit the Lord."
Mai Shiyu asked in surprise: "He is still in Zhongtian Mansion? Hasn't he returned to his place of origin?" Logically, after being deprived of his official position, he should return to his place of origin.
The inspection envoy said: "So the Prison Supervisor is not satisfied. Although the Lord dealt with him, he asked him to stay in Zhoucheng and did not ask him to go back to his hometown to have a leisurely meal. Then he must have the intention to use it. Put it under the eyes of the Lord. This will prevent anyone from making trouble for him. There are still arrangements after the limelight has passed, but he probably won’t go back to inspect the district department, right?"
Tang Zhao nodded, feeling slightly disappointed. Xingji was not in the Jiandi Department, so he always felt that he had lost something.
I happened to go to Zhongtian Mansion to meet the boss. They hadn't seen each other for about three years.
After chatting for a while, the inspector was busy with work, so he and Deputy Inspector Mai separated to inspect along the city wall.
Mai Shiyu wanted to send Tang Zhao and Jiang Shenyi back to rest, but Tang Zhao knew that the manpower was still insufficient at this time. The inspector was a swordsman, so he came very quickly, but there was only one person, and the city still had insufficient manpower. He still needed to do his best, and Mai Shiyu was not too polite and asked them to join the mobile city patrol.
Before leaving, Mai Shiyu called Tang Zhao over again and said, "Do you want to go to Zhongtian Mansion?"
Tang Zhao said: "I want to go."
Not only to visit Gao Yuanhou, but also to visit Xingji, we should also go to Zhongtian Mansion.
He added: "But I have been away from the mountain gate for a long time. I have to go back to the mountain to explain something. Senior brother also wants to go back to the mountain. This is a matter for the inspection department. I can go alone." He came out for a long time. In fact, it has greatly exceeded expectations. It takes some time to come and go from Zhongtian Mansion. There are many things over Jiugao Mountain, and he has to rush back to deal with them.
Mai Shiyu said: "Okay, let's take care of things here. You should hurry back first, and then meet me at Zhongtian Mansion at the end of the month. We will just arrive at Zhongtian Mansion with Mr. Zhang Rong and the others."
Tang Zhao nodded and asked, "Mr. Zhang, are you also going to Zhongtian Mansion?"
Mai Shiyu said: "Of course. But he didn't report on his work like us. After we reported it, the monarch personally sent a greeting and specially sent an envoy to invite him to the prince's mansion. This is because Mr. Zhang is good at Tianyan. This matter should not be made public, otherwise the prince might come to visit him personally."
Tang Zhao smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang is worth it."
Mai Shiyu said: "There is also the guardian... Feng Zhen. He also has to return to Zhongtian. His situation is even more special and he has to report to the king personally. According to his intention, he will also retire after this matter is over. .”
Tang Zhao's heart moved and he thought to himself: If Mr. Xing and Lao Feng were invited to live in seclusion at Zhuoyu Villa, away from right and wrong, wouldn't they be free and at ease? Together with Gui Ye and Zhu Yang, Jiugao Mountain can be regarded as a gathering of "heroes".
After making an agreement with Mai Shiyu, Tang Zhao went on patrol again. Jiang Shenyi had nothing to do, so he followed him around the city.
After a day of patrolling like this, there were no accidents.
A few days later, the scouts from outside the city came back one after another, bringing various news. They found several turtle bandit strongholds, but they were all empty. The turtle pirate missed a single hit and went underground again. It's just that this time the Yunzhou government will not treat it as nothing, and will dig deep into the ground to catch all the fish that have slipped through the net.
This thunderous operation will probably start soon, or it may have already started. Tang Zhao cannot know. He only knows that the scouts reported that the garrison of Riyang County has reached the north of the city and will arrive at Zhaocheng tomorrow.
"In other words, we can go back tomorrow?" That night, the two of them shared the news in the small courtyard where they were temporarily staying. Jiang Shenyi was very happy and poured a glass of fruit wine.
Tang Zhao also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Exactly. The large-scale inspections in Zhaocheng in the past few days have come to an end. It is said that no internal agents of the turtle bandits have been caught, and it will not take a day or two to dig deeper. This matter We have to stop the matter first, and the next step is to go to Zhongtian Mansion to listen to the Lord’s arrangements. If we hurry, we can set off back to the mountain tomorrow!"
Jiang Shenyi said happily: "Great! I've been out for too long and I miss home. Then go to Zhongtian Mansion by yourself. I don't want to travel far away."
Tang Zhao smiled and said: "Senior brother, if you say this now, maybe he will come with me again in a few days..."
At this moment, I heard a thumping sound in the night sky, and a shadow flew down.
It was an owl.
Jiang Shenyi said: "Is your owl here to send a message?"
Tang Zhao's face darkened, he patted his animal bag and said: "It's not my owl. It's not the one that senior sister often uses. This owl looks familiar..."
Whose is it?
The owl was looking for him. It came straight here and landed on his shoulder. It stretched out its feet with bamboo tubes tied to them. Tang Zhao took off the bamboo tube, but the owl did not leave. Instead, it landed on the stone table in the courtyard. Tang Zhao only thought that it was hungry, so he went into the house and brought out water and meat to treat it.
As soon as he put it down, he heard the sound of wings again. When Tang Zhao looked up, he saw another owl flying towards him.
This one...he knows it!
Tang Zhao panicked for no reason, and Jiang Shenyi also recognized it and said with a smile: "Senior sister's owl this time? What's wrong today? Are you sending messages one after another?"
After taking off the letter from the owl's feet, Jiang Shenyi only glanced at it and stopped breathing.
Tang Zhao heard something strange in the voice and rushed over to ask, "What?"
Jiang Shenyi handed him the note in his hand dully. Under the moonlight, he could see that his face was ashen. He suddenly stretched out his hand and swept the wine glasses and bottles off the table, causing them to shatter on the floor.
Tang Zhao's heart was filled with ominous thoughts. He took the thin piece of paper and read a few big words:
"Shi Chunqing defected!"
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
