Great Blue Night Watchman

Capital City, Zhongshu Province, Zuoshi Pavilion!

Lu Tiancong suddenly took action...

At the Ministry of War, Zhang Wenyuan roared, and the entire Ministry of War heard it...

In the Supervision Department, Lei Zheng was holding his official seal and trembling...

Countless officials flew to the Golden Palace at the same time to meet His Majesty...

Above the golden palace, His Majesty raised his hand, and the tea cup on the jade table flew high, choked, and fell into pieces...

The senior officials below all had dark lines on their faces, and they didn't dare to breathe...

His Majesty slowly leaned over: "The mermaid came ashore, destroyed our state government, and killed more than 130 state officials! The entire state capital was reduced to an empty mansion! The entire Xizhou has no owner! In the thousands of years since the founding of the country, there has never been a Have you passed this matter? I ask you, ministers! This...is...why..."

His voice was low and word-for-word, but anyone could hear the anger contained in this voice. This matter, no matter who was involved, was a major crime against the Nine Clans!

Zhang Wenyuan took one step and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is definitely related to Lin Su's son! Nothing has happened in Xizhou for a thousand years, but such a big thing happened as soon as he arrived in Xizhou. It must be him who colluded with the mermaid clan to kill my son and kill hundreds of officials. , Lin's traitor should be cut into pieces with a thousand swords! The entire Lin family should be executed!"

Lin Su?

Lei Zheng also took one step forward: "Your Majesty, I agree with Master Zhang that this matter must be related to Lin Su. This son's usual method is to collude with foreign races and harm the human race. Your Majesty will make a decisive decision to wipe out the entire Lin family. "

Zhao Xun said: "Lin Su, in the past, colluded with the demon clan Qingqiu Fox, and today he colludes with the mermaid clan. It is very possible! What's more, he has a deep hatred with Mr. Zhang, and he even has the motive to kill Zhang Chun."

Zhou Yunzhidao, the Minister of Rites, said: "There is another strange thing. Lin Su went to Xizhou to investigate Ren Taiyan, the prefect of Li Prefecture. What is strange is that out of the eight prefectures in Xizhou, seven prefects were killed, and only Ren Taiyan survived well."

Everyone in the palace exploded...

Let the person you check be the only one who is fine, and catch the rest in one fell swoop!

How could it be such a coincidence?

How audacious!

Lawless!

Only two people did not respond. One was the prime minister Lu Tiancong, and the other was the bachelor Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng even closed his eyes slightly and seemed to be sleeping...

His Majesty's gloomy gaze slowly moved over to Zhang Juzheng: "Grand Master, what do you think of what the ministers and ministers have said?"

All eyes were focused on Zhang Juzheng's face.

Zhang Juzheng slowly opened his eyes: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being stupid and not understanding what my colleagues meant. Do you think that Lin Su should be cut into pieces just because he went on a business trip to Xizhou? If so, Mr. Lei, Supervisor, should first plead guilty. Lin Su went to Xizhou, but he followed your orders!"

Lei Zheng, who had gray hair and no wind, said automatically: "Master Zhang, what do you mean? I sent him as an envoy to Xizhou, but I didn't let him collude with the mermaid..."

"But I feel that you may have instigated all this. Otherwise, how could he, a small supervisor, have done such a big thing?"

His Majesty's face suddenly darkened!

Lei Zheng jumped eight feet high: "Master Zhang, I respect you as a first-class official, but you must provide evidence when you speak!"

Zhang Juzheng said: "Mr. Lei, you actually know that you have to provide evidence when speaking. It's strange! You keep saying that Lin Su colluded with foreign races, where is the evidence? What if he just went to Xizhou under the instruction of the Supervision Department? What if all this Is it just his unlucky fate? The new year is approaching, and officials are traveling to a bitter cold land for official business. You are going to confiscate your family and exterminate your clan without any evidence. What are you doing? What is your intention? Convicting people just by taking it for granted. This is Are you ministers sharing your worries for the king? Are you sharing your worries for the country?"

As soon as he said this, the entire palace became silent!

No matter what, Da Cang Dynasty is still a place where laws are respected.

Without any evidence, it doesn’t make sense to execute an official who was out on business and behead his entire family, right?

His Majesty's eyes slowly raised: "Shall Lin Su return to the capital within three days! Enter the palace for questioning!"

…

In Xizhou, Li Mansion, Ren Taiyan opened the door and quietly looked at Lin Su in official uniform outside.

His concubine, Yu Ji, bowed deeply, tears streaming down her face, but she didn't wipe them away.

The mermaid clan actually left the Western Sea again!

The mermaid clan reappears the glory of their ancestors!

The mermaid disaster has become a thing of the past forever!

All this is because of him!

She couldn't tell anyone how grateful she was to him, she could only express her gratitude to him in this way.

"Sir Ren, I have received an urgent order from the capital to enter the palace within three days. Time is running out. It is time to run my errands."

Ren Taiyan held up a small package and handed it to him with both hands: "Inside are my official seal, my official clothes, and my apology letter."

"What does the confession say?"

"I have been in office for twenty years. After all, I have no knowledge of government affairs. I am incompetent and have no talent and virtue. I am ashamed of the great trust of the saints and the people of Li. Please resign from the post of prefect of Lifu and never enter the official career again."

Lin Su took the small package, put it in his pocket solemnly, and slowly raised his head: "Have you thought about it? Where will you go from now on?"

"Maybe it's to travel to the West Sea with Yu Ji, maybe it's to express my love for the mountains, rivers and countryside. Don't worry about me, I have a place to go."

"Are you interested in going to Haining?"

Ren Taiyan's eyes lit up: "When I was in office, I wanted to go to Haining every moment. Now..."

"Go and take Yu Ji with you!" Lin Su said: "I have set up a school in Haining, named Haining Academy. Mr. Baoshan and others are teaching in the school. If you want to go, the school will have another Confucian student. !”

Ren Taiyan and Yu Ji's eyes met, and Yu Ji saw a little light in his eyes...

"By the way, I also built a reservoir over in Haining. Below is the Baili Garden. Yu Ji, you will definitely like it!"

Yu Ji nodded heavily: "Master, go!"

Ren Taiyan raised his eyes and said, "It will be a big test for you to go to Beijing to meet you. How sure are you?"

"Hahahaha... Lin has been afraid of everything in his life, but not the big exam!"

Lin Su left the Lifu Prefecture. On the riverside in front of her, Cai Zhulian slowly turned back. There was a glint in her eyes: "Prefect Ren... really must resign?"

Lin Su nodded lightly.

"Actually, there is another way! Aren't the four country squires the first to accuse? Let them write a confession, and they should be able to hand it over to the capital..."

Lin Su shook his head gently: "It's easy to keep him in office! The method you mentioned is the best way. But what about keeping him? He is a taboo in the officialdom after all. Instead of being squeezed out and plotted by all parties in the officialdom, leaving It’s the best.”

Cai Zhulian understood.

Xizhou suffered such a catastrophe, and the culprit was the mermaid.

No matter who leads the new officialdom, they will all be afraid of mermaids. The relationship between Ren Taiyan and mermaids cannot be separated, and he will not be able to survive in the officialdom.

"Ren Taiyan can't survive, what about you? What should you do? In order to protect them, let those colleagues who share the same goals with you retreat one by one, leaving you alone to fight alone?"

"I'm different!"

"What's different about you? Are you made of iron?" Cai Zhulian glared at him.

"Can you brag?" Lin Su came over.

"cannot!"

Depend on! You're stuck with your words...

Cai Zhulian sighed softly: "I know you want to comfort me... but I'm not a fool, you can't coax me. I know how difficult the road ahead of you is."

Lin Su also let out a long sigh: "You finally know it!"

Cai Zhulian's heart was beating wildly: "What?"

"I may not be able to survive when I return to Beijing this time! You may never see me again in this life..."

Caizhulian burst into tears...

"Hug me, I'm just giving this hug to pay tribute to this beautiful encounter in Xizhou..." Lin Su opened his arms and hugged Caizhulian...

Cai Zhulian was in a state of shock and seemed to have forgotten everything. Suddenly, her eyes opened and she put a finger on Lin Su's forehead, blocking his embrace...

"you are lying!"

"I'm not lying, I'm really miserable, very miserable..."

"I don't know you yet? If you were really miserable, you wouldn't be so exaggerated!"

"Okay, I admit that I... sensationalized a bit too much, but I also have good intentions. I bought wine, perfume, and wrote poems that will be passed down from generation to generation. We are about to be separated. You want me to hug you and give you a kiss. I shouldn't. Is it too much? Huh?" After speaking, he felt confident.

Cai Zhulian sighed: "It seems that the old methods that were once sealed should still be used..."

When her hair was shocked, Lin Su was hung up by her, and a fat was fat ...

At night, Lin Su flew up and returned to Beijing!

The floating clouds were flying, the night birds were frightened, and on the highest mountain peak in front, a jade cicada flew up and followed him a hundred miles away, never leaving...

Lin Su knew nothing about all this.

It took two days to arrive after a journey of five thousand miles.

In the early morning of the third day, Lin Su arrived in the capital. As soon as he landed at the city gate, a team of golden guards came to greet him: "Follow the supervisor, Lin Su, and enter the palace immediately to meet you!"

"According to the order!" Lin Su bowed and followed the Golden Guard to the Golden Palace.

In a teahouse nearby, Zhang Haoran let out a long breath: "He has entered the palace! We can only pray for him here!"

Qiu Mochi took a deep sip of wine and slammed the wine glass on the table. She didn't know why he was angry.

Standing by the window, Huo Qi looked at the palace: "The wind in the capital has become colder again. There may be another heavy snowfall tomorrow."

Li Yangxin stood quietly beside him, with a deep sadness on his young face. Huo Qi was right, the wind in the capital was getting colder. How could the wind in the capital not be cold any day?

Can this friend survive this disaster?

When will there be a truly clear sky in his life?

…

Above the Golden Palace, it was gloomy and oppressive, and the entire hall was silent!

His Majesty sat high above the Golden Palace, staring at the entrance of the Golden Palace.

There, under the rising sun, a slender figure stepped onto the golden palace step by step.

He knelt down and said, "Inspector Lin Su, please see your Majesty!"

"Lin Su, raise your head!"

His Majesty's majestic voice sounded.

Lin Su slowly raised his head...

"There is a sudden change in Xizhou. You happen to be in Xizhou and you should know the best about this matter. That is why I have called you to the palace to ask for the reason!"

"yes!"

"Lei Zheng! Question!"

Lei Zheng stepped forward, stood in front of Lin Su, and asked condescendingly...

"Lin Su, the officialdom of Xizhou has undergone a huge change. From the magistrate to the magistrate of the seven prefectures, everyone was killed by mermaids. Do you know?"

Lin Sudao: "Informed!"

"Why do the mermaids want to bloodbath the officialdom?"

"I don't know the exact inside story, so I can only rely on guesswork. I wonder if Your Majesty allows me to make wild guesses?"

His Majesty nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Su said: "People from all over the world gathered in Xizhou. Hunting the mermaid clan is a big industry that has emerged in the past two hundred years. Although the mermaid clan is a foreign race, its wisdom is the same as that of humans. Faced with this, Thousands of tribesmen were killed and arrested, so they naturally felt revengeful. They believed that it was the Xizhou government that provided hunting protection for Jianghu people, so they suddenly counterattacked!"

Lei Zheng's eyes were radiant, he stared into Lin Su's eyes, and said slowly: "You mean, you are positive about the mermaid clan's bloodbath in the officialdom?"

Lin Su Wenshan was shocked and felt the suppression from the power of Wen Dao. This was the spiritual cleansing of Wen Dao!

You have to tell the truth.

Lin Su's Juepin Wenxin activated silently, keeping his heart clear, but his eyes suddenly became dull: "No! The mermaid clan dares to destroy the officials of a state, and it is a heinous crime!"

Zhang Juzheng exhaled silently, slowly and soothingly.

Everyone in the hall looked at each other in confusion. This answer was beyond their expectations.

Lei Zhengdao: "I heard that you bought a mermaid for 110,000 taels of silver? And returned her to the West Sea? Is this the case?"

"have!"

The whole palace was excited again. Saving the mermaid is evidence of your collusion with the mermaid...

Lei Zhengdao: "Why do you do this?"

"This mermaid is good-looking and a top-quality product with excellent bones. In addition to sleeping with her, I also want to use her to practice cultivation."

Zhang Juzheng's eyes suddenly opened wide, bastard!

A stubborn person!

"Then why did you let her go?"

Lin Su replied dully: "Because the mermaid clan has bloodied the officialdom, anyone who insults the mermaid will suffer. I was afraid of their revenge, so I let her go and ran away."

"You wanted to use her to practice, did you succeed in the end?"

"Successful! My martial arts passed from Wuji to Peeping People."

His Majesty's eyes moved to the face of a person. This person was the commander of the palace guard and a master of the martial arts world of spying on the sky. He nodded slightly, indicating that Lin Su had indeed penetrated into spying on people.

However, Zhang Wenyuan's head was filled with black threads. He was 120 certain that Lin Su must be related to the mermaid. Why, after asking over and over again, did the final result get further and further away from the initial prediction? He bought the mermaid, actually slept with it, and his skills really improved. If he had the intention to collude with the mermaid clan, how could he dare to blaspheme the mermaid like this?

The light in Lei Zheng's eyes grew brighter, and he took a deep breath: "What are your intentions in Wufeng City offering rewards for people to report?"

Lin Sudao: "I want to collect clues about Zhizhou Zhang Chun's crime and bring him down."

Zhang Wenyuan was refreshed and finally got useful information. You want to murder Zhizhou...

"Why do you want to dismount him?"

"Because he is the son of the old thief Zhang Wenyuan. The old thief Zhang Wenyuan has brought harm to the country and the people, and has lost his conscience. I don't want to let go of any of his sons!"

Zhang Wenyuan’s face is full of black lines!

He is here! Your Majesty and all the courtiers are here! Who dares to accuse him to his face of causing harm to the country and the people?

But Lin Su dares! Because he is under the spiritual power of literature and art at this moment, he said that it is not normal to speak the official language that is both positive and negative, and it is normal to talk about the deepest thoughts in the heart, no matter how wild the thoughts are...

Lei Zhengdao: "It is precisely because you collected reporting information all over the city that the official seals of everyone in the officialdom of Xizhou were stained, and they were eventually taken advantage of by the mermaid tribe. Are these your ultimate goals?"

"no!"

"Do you want to borrow the mermaid's hand to kill Zhang Chun?"

"No, I want to kill him with my own hands. It would be better to say a few words to him before killing him to relieve my hatred..."

"Which sentences?"

"I told him, you go first, your father and your brothers, I will send them to Jiuquan one by one to accompany you..."

Zhang Wenyuan's body was filled with purple energy, but His Majesty's eyes fell on his face and suppressed his purple energy.

Lei Zheng also had sweat on his forehead. He had been using Wen Dao to cleanse his heart for a long time. He was also tired. After asking for a long time, the only refreshing answer was: he hoped Zhang Chun died. This can be combined with the well-known relationship between him and Zhang Wenyuan later. As you can see, this clue is still useless!

There was not a single word of useful information, and he was helpless.

"What is your mission to Xizhou?"

"Find the evidence of Ren Taiyan's crime and capture him!"

"So, mission accomplished?"

"It's done! He considered himself lacking in talent and virtue, took the initiative to resign, handed over his official seal and official clothes to me, and also submitted a letter of apology."

"Submit it!"

Lin Su dullly handed the package to Lei Zheng. Lei Zheng also absorbed Wen Dao's mind-cleansing magical power at this time. Lin Su's eyes gradually became clear. Suddenly he looked at the package in his hand and was slightly startled. It seemed that he had just recovered from his confusion. Wake up.
