Shen Hao stayed in the palace for less than half an hour. When he came out, he had a secret order written by the emperor in his hand. This secret order reassured Shen Hao to a great extent. After all, the emperor gave the secret order and did not seem to intend to treat him as a consumable by "throwing it away after use".
It's just that he needs to keep this matter secret.
Of course, no matter how much it is kept secret, it is impossible not to tell anyone. Necessary ventilation is inevitable, such as the commander of Xuan Qing Guard, Pang Ban.
After coming out of the palace, Shen Hao went straight to the commander's office to find Pang Ban. This time he did not wait in the tea room, but was led directly in by Pang Ban's adjutant.
"I see you, my lord!"
"Sit down and talk."
After the adjutant gave Shen Hao a cup of herbal tea and left, Pang Ban spoke again and asked, "Your Majesty is looking for you?"
"Yes. In the morning, His Majesty sent someone to deliver an order. He asked me to go to the palace immediately for questioning. I didn't have time to report to you, so I could only ask my adjutant Wang Yiming to tell you. I just came from the palace just now. return."
Pang Ban didn't care about Shen Hao's previous entry into the palace. When the emperor summoned him, Shen Hao, who was only a fourth-grade commander of the Black Flag Camp, had no room for bargaining. He could only follow him and leave immediately. None of this is the point.
"His Majesty is looking for you about a case?"
Shen Hao did not hide anything, nodded and said: "Sir, your Majesty is indeed looking for your subordinates because of Ye Lansheng's case, but it is not the problem at hand now, but that your Majesty has other ideas about the case. So the reason for calling your subordinates is to go there. Make new arrangements for case investigation..."
Without waiting for Pang Ban to ask, Shen Hao took advantage of the situation and told about the new mission he had received in the palace, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty is going to let us put the label of "colluding with evil monks" on the family members and Daxiu clan behind Ye Lansheng. The crime. The specific "evidence" can be found from the execution of evil actions that are being carried out by my subordinates."
Compared with when Shen Hao first heard this request in the palace, Pang Ban was much calmer.
However, Pang Banyan said: "Although I expected that His Majesty would take action against those aristocratic families, I did not expect to take such a move. Evil monks? Heh, he has a lot of ideas. It is considered a sword to avoid the harassment on the surface. You're going too far, and since you're someone who doesn't play by the rules and is clean and capable, maybe you can give it a try."
Try it? When Shen Hao heard these two words coming out of Pang Ban's mouth, he always felt that they were not good words.
"Sir, I don't quite understand this matter. Does your Majesty really want to attack the noble families and major cultivators from all over the country? Or does he just want to make a noise and scare people?"
Pang Ban smiled and shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Do you think those aristocratic families and great cultivators who have been around for about as long as the founding of the old Jing Dynasty will be frightened by your mere commander of the Black Flag Battalion? Or are you talking about those people? Can it be intimidated by "scare"?
You don’t have to worry. Although this matter contains dangers, is it not a great opportunity for you to surpass your qualifications? It’s even a great opportunity for you to enter the Emperor’s heart. As long as you can satisfy His Majesty in this matter, then you will be able to rise through the ranks in the future even if no one needs to support you! "
"I don't dare to have any delusions. I'm just worried that my limited ability will make it difficult to handle such a major matter. If something goes wrong..."
In front of the emperor, he naturally promised to go ahead with the errand, but in front of Pang Ban, he still had to complain, otherwise it would be a lot of trouble to find a solution when something went wrong.
Pang Ban smiled and pointed at Shen Hao and said: "You, you! I used to hear your teacher Jiang Cheng say that you are a shameless person. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that it is absolutely right. You are asking me for something. benefit?"
"My subordinates are frightened, and my subordinates dare not."
"Humph, you are very brave!" Pang Ban put down the pen in his hand, picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip, then leaned back on the chair and continued: "It's not impossible if you want benefits. Your Majesty will give the task to You have given us Xuan Qingwei, so of course we will give you the help we should give you. But you have to come up with your plan, otherwise how can I benefit you with empty words?"
When Shen Hao heard this, he didn't feel embarrassed that his "ideas were revealed". This was a way of talking between superiors and subordinates. He pretended to be stupid and asked for advice while generously giving advice, and then the subordinates came up with "immature ideas" to ask for advice. Finally, Provide corrections and supplements from superiors.
This routine Shen Hao used from another world to this world is universal.
The matter itself is actually not complicated. Just like Ye Lansheng's case, Shen Hao doesn't need to think too much, nor does he need to spend much effort to investigate and investigate. He only needs to put the "board" on the target. Anyway, the evil monk who was used as a trap has long been despised by everyone in the world, and it is impossible for him to jump out and cry out for injustice. And the members of the aristocratic families who have been labeled will then become "criminals". What's the point of shouting the words of the prisoners no matter how loud they are?
Thinking more deeply, Ye Lansheng's case is a prelude. It seems insignificant but actually has foreshadowing. For example, when Shen Hao cleans up those aristocratic families later, the Ye Lansheng case will come in handy if the "crops" planted by them in the Jingjiu Dynasty jump out to defend or use them.
Shen Hao can use Ye Lansheng's case to deter those who point fingers at Xuanqingwei's internal purge. Naturally, it can also be used to punish those who dare to jump out and interfere with his efforts to clean up the family. The principles are the same, and even the names can be the same.
Do complex things suddenly become simple?
In fact, it is not simple at all. The reason why it seems not difficult is that it needs to be based on a necessary foundation, and this foundation is: force.
Shen Hao essentially only had a few people from the Black Flag Battalion in various places. There seemed to be a lot of people, but none of them had the force that could really suppress such a big scene, including himself, who was also not qualified.
But someone is qualified. For example, the emperor. The emperor gave him a convenient warrant to mobilize a thousand imperial troops. This was the "force" given to him to suppress the situation. But this is not enough, and a thousand forbidden troops cannot be moved casually. It is better not to use them until it is really critical.
Pang Ban also has the same force. For example, those commanders who are cultivating in the commander's yamen are all at the end of the Yuan Dan realm and even the first realm of the Xuanhai realm... These powers can also calm the scene.
So what Shen Hao wants is the maximum support Pang Ban can give for this matter.
After Shen Hao came up with the idea of "doing things according to the rules", Pang Ban tapped his fingers on the table and said: "Seven commanders, six are at the lower level of Yuan Dan realm, and one is at the first level of Xuanhai realm. Then I will help you. Inviting some help from Fenghong Villa, plus the five hundred personal guards from the commanding envoy's yamen, I think it will be enough for you to strike first."
