Chapter 356 Baronet
"Lin Mu, according to the report from the Black Night Guard, you have contributed a lot to the Yu family's affairs."
Ning Qingyu's voice was clear and generous, without any unnecessary emotion, and was full of official accent.
Lin Mu immediately felt what it means to be a noble concubine and what it means to be a phoenix in the world.
"The common people know nothing about the Black Night Guards. They just accepted Yu Ze's challenge and came to Yuhu City. Therefore, the common people dare not claim the credit of the Yu family."
But he tried his best to keep his emotions calm. In this kind of occasion and atmosphere, he couldn't lose his composure.
This little guy, if I didn't know he had joined the Night Guard, he acted really well.
Ning Qingyu secretly smiled in her heart, but said calmly on her face: "Although you were unintentional, the Black Night Guards benefited from you and were able to eradicate the poisonous traitor in the Yan Kingdom. This contribution must not be unrewarded."
"As commanded."
Lin Mu couldn't argue anymore.
"Lin Mu, although you are a civilian, but you are armed with force, you should serve the country, which is the right way. I now appoint you as a baronet and give you the right to recommend the Lord of Xichuan City once."
Unexpectedly, Lin Mu was stunned as soon as Ning Qingyu opened her mouth.
The titles of the Yan Kingdom are divided into six levels: king, duke, earl, viscount, baron and baronet.
Baronet is the most noble position below baronet.
Lin Mu didn't care much about this title.
The important thing is that Ning Qingyu actually gave him the right to recommend the lord of Xichuan City for once.
Xichuan City is his home base. If someone he trusts can take charge of it, it will be much easier in the future.
Of course, Lin Mu also knew.
It is impossible for him to recommend someone randomly, otherwise it would become a joke.
The recommended person must have a certain identity and have the ability.
However, before he could speak, someone was more excited than him.
"My dearest concubine, I do not surrender."
The person who came out was Wang Zheng.
I saw him clenching his fists and kneeling in the middle of the hall.
"presumptuous."
Earlier the eunuch shouted angrily, "If you dare to rush into Feng Jia, someone will come and drag him out and beat him a hundred times with a stick."
The guards will immediately come forward to execute it.
However, Ning Qingyu waved her hand to stop them and looked at Wang Zheng coldly: "What are you dissatisfied with?"
"The royal concubine."
After the official shouted loudly, Wang Zheng suddenly woke up, his face covered with fearful cold sweat.
But at this time, the matter has come to this, and he can only hold on, gritting his teeth and saying: "Wei Chen is not dissatisfied with the empress, but the empress may not know that Wei Chen has been ordered by King Nanping to assume the position of Lord of Xichuan City."
"King Nanping has already told Wei Chen to wait for the Empress here. The Empress will appoint Wei Chen as the Lord of Xichuan City, so Wei Chen will come to Yuhu City to wait."
"I know."
Ning Qingyu said without emotion.
Wang Zheng's body shook and he was immediately dumbfounded.
"Wang Zheng, you are an elite in the military. It is reasonable for you to serve as the city lord. But this time, you have really disappointed me."
Ning Qingyu said, "As a top martial artist and a former soldier, I won't say anything about the duel with Lin Mu. But after you lost, you actually ordered your subordinates to launch a siege against Lin Mu. This is what a soldier can do." thing?"
"So, Wang Zheng obeys the order."
"yes."
Wang Zheng vomited blood in his heart and was extremely depressed, but he could only swallow it.
The Wang family behind him was powerful, but compared with the imperial concubine, they were nothing at all.
"Your matter is an internal matter of Baishi Prefecture, but your behavior has really smeared Yan State. Now that I know about it, I can't ignore it."
Ning Qingyu said slowly, "From now on, your official position will be reduced to one level and you will serve as the deputy city lord of Xichuan City."
"Wei Chen... take orders."
Wang Zheng felt more aggrieved than ever before.
The original Lord of Xichuan City was from the Yu family.
This time the Yu family fell, he thought he could take the opportunity to become the city lord and take control of Xichuan City.
Even though Xichuan City is only a small county town, as long as it is completely controlled by him, he is still sure to manage a world.
Now, he has become the deputy city lord.
But at this moment, he had other thoughts in mind.
As long as the person recommended by Lin Mu is not capable, then with his ability, he will be able to defeat the opponent sooner or later.
But he didn't expect that his little thought would be quickly wiped out.
"Lin Mu, do you have a suitable candidate?"
Ning Qingyu said.
"There are candidates, but you have to ask the other party."
Lin Mu's expression changed.
There are two candidates in his mind, namely Fang Chengye and Lin Yang.
Fang Chengye is the first choice.
In terms of relationship, he is closer to Fang Chengye.
Fang Chengye is not lacking in status either. As a descendant of the ancient Fang family, he can be considered a descendant of the aristocracy.
Moreover, Fang Chengye has very good weapon refining skills. If he brings them into Xichuan City, he can bring strong development to Xichuan City.
But he wasn't sure whether Fang Chengye had the courage to leave the Fang family.
Therefore, Lin Yang is an alternative.
Lin Yang has no shortage of fame, status and experience.
But even if Lin Mu didn't care about what happened at the beginning, he was still deeply suspicious of Lin Yang's vision and belief.
There is definitely something wrong with Lin Mu's vision and belief, otherwise the Lin family would not have been confined to a small place like Xichuan City.
He also handed over power to people like Lin Zheng and Lin Chongyun.
"Then I will give you two months. After you find a suitable candidate, you can submit it through the inn."
Ning Qingyu said calmly.
"In addition, the city cannot be left unmanaged for a day. I appointed Wang Zheng and Li Wei as deputy city lords of Xichuan City. You two will temporarily manage Xichuan City until the new city lord arrives."
"Yes, common people, cough, I will accept my orders."
Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Wei Chen takes orders."
Wang Zheng and another middle-aged man also said in unison.
That middle-aged man is undoubtedly Li Wei.
Ning Qingyu's intention was obvious. In addition to Wang Zheng, he also arranged for Li Wei to be the deputy city lord, which was undoubtedly used to restrain Wang Zheng.
Lin Mu looked at this Li Wei and found that he was also a peak martial artist.
Generally speaking, top martial arts masters, unless they have ulterior motives, would disdain to be the city lord like Xichuan City, let alone the deputy city lord.
This Li Wei was not reluctant at all, he was probably from Ning Qingyu.
With Li Wei here, Wang Zheng would never dare to mess around in Xichuan City.
After that, Ning Qingyu successively arranged a series of personnel appointments.
These positions were previously held by people from the Yu family.
Now that the Yu family is destroyed, these positions will naturally become vacant.
This made Lin Mu have to admire Ning Qingyu's methods. I am afraid that after this incident, most of Yuhu City fell under Ning Qingyu's control.
And they also got an additional Xichuan City.
By the time the matter was settled, two hours had passed.
Ning Qingyu immediately dismissed the officials and celebrities on the grounds of being tired.
Everyone knows that Ning Qingyu is a strong martial artist and there is no possibility of being sleepy.
To say this is just that I don’t want to talk to them anymore.
But no one who is ignorant dares to say this.
Since Ning Qingyu didn't want to see them anymore, they could just retreat honestly. Why bother asking for trouble and making this noble man unhappy?
Lin Mu originally planned to retreat with the crowd.
Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, a eunuch caught up with him and said, "Lin Mu, stay here. Your Majesty has invited you."
Lin Mu was surprised.
He originally thought that Ning Qingyu would not interact too much with him this time in order to avoid suspicion, but he did not expect that Ning Qingyu would directly send someone to summon him.
When we arrived at the inner hall, there was a palace maid standing at the door.
When he saw Lin Mu coming, he nodded slightly and made a gesture of invitation.
Lin Mu immediately walked in.
Inside, there is a spacious hall, with a bead curtain in front, and the figures inside can be vaguely seen.
On both sides of the hall, there were many maids standing bowed, and on the right side in front of the bead curtain, there was also an old maid standing.
"The humble minister has come here under the imperial edict to see the noble concubine."
Lin Mu gestured and saluted.
At this time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although the imperial concubine's status was high, the constraints she faced were also great.
It was not easy for Ning Qingyu to do this.
