Chapter 412 Fulfilling the mission
Lin Rong raised the wine glass and just brought it to his lips, a huge noise came from outside. He slammed the wine glass on the table and roared angrily: "What's going on? ?”
With a bang, he was answered by the fact that the two doors of the hall fell down together with the door frames. There were several people lying on the fallen door panels, all outside the hall. of guard.
What puzzled Lin Rong was that the man holding a sword in his hand and walking like a dragon and a tiger was actually the garrison leader of Yongxing County, Captain Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan has always been very discerning.
Zhang Yuan came from a humble background, Lin Rong originally looked down on him and did not take this person seriously.
Had it not been for the instructions from his elder brother Lin Heng, he would not have lowered his stature to make friends with this lowly man.
Yes, in Lin Rong's eyes, Zhang Yuan, even if he was the supreme commander of the imperial army stationed in Yongxing County, was just a lowly man.
The eldest brother Lin Heng said that Zhang Yuan and others were the group who followed the Queen Mother to charge in Xiangcheng, and they were the most loyal to the Queen Mother, so the Queen Mother also placed them at the lowest level to replace her. Master the army and train the army.
Don't underestimate Zhang Yuan's group. They may seem inconspicuous, but if they are really up to something, when they gather in large numbers, they become a terrifying force.
It was for this reason that Lin Rong deliberately made friends with him.
In the past few years, Zhang Yuan has also been very generous.
Lin Rong always thought proudly that Zhang Yuan had been pulled over by him.
As a lower-level man, how high can your horizons be?
A little money can make him obey you.
But today it seems that I was wrong.
"Zhang Yuan, what are you going to do?" Lin Rong stood up.
Zhang Yuan stood in court, glared at Lin Rong, and said sternly: "I have been ordered to arrest Lin Rong, the magistrate of Yongxing County, for trial!"
Lin Rong looked up to the sky and laughed: "Zhang "Old, are you going crazy? Whose orders are you listening to?"
Everyone else in the room burst into laughter, and the sound of weapons clashing and fighting came from outside the courtyard. , that was when Zhang Yuan's men began to fight with Lin Rong's private soldiers.
"Zhang Yuan colluded with the Demon Cult and betrayed the Holy Grace. He should be punished for his crime. What are you still hesitating about? Taking action together to defeat this traitor will be a great achievement!" Lin Rong shouted sternly.
In the hall, several people stood up and rushed towards Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan used to be in Yongxing County and seemed to have a lot of status, but this was not because of his high level of martial arts cultivation and the sixth level of Qi Control, which can only be said to be passable. In fact, being a captain is still a bit Reluctantly.
In this hall alone, there are several people with higher martial arts cultivation than him.
In Lin Rong's view, it was really easy to capture Zhang Yuan.
Capture the thief first and capture the king first. After capturing Zhang Yuan, the hundreds of soldiers under him will naturally no longer pose a threat.
Zhang Yuan chuckled and retreated instead of advancing. Behind him, two ordinary-looking soldiers came forward.
Then, under Lin Rong’s shocked gaze, these two inconspicuous soldiers knocked down the people who rushed up to them with three strikes.
Two Xuanyuan eighth-grade.
When did Zhang Yuan have a master of the eighth grade of Xuanyuan under his command?
No one can be found in the entire Yongxing County.
Zhang Yuan really colluded with the Demon Cult.
No matter why Zhang Yuan turned his back, the previous statement that he colluded with the Demon Cult was just a slap in the face before talking about it, but now it seems that it is probably true.
But if this is really the case, why doesn't Zhang Yuan just open the city gate and let those demon sect brats outside come in? Isn't that the end of the matter?
A mob of tens of thousands, which is overwhelming in numbers, rushes into the city, and the advantage of the soldiers will be reduced to the minimum.
Of course there were experts in the hall, but when they saw the people who had rushed out earlier being chopped down like melons and vegetables, they immediately didn't dare to move. He just watched helplessly as Zhang Yuan walked towards Lin Rong with a knife.
With a choking sound, the waist knife was unsheathed and pressed on Lin Rong's neck. The huge force forced Lin Rong to sit back on the chair with a thud.
"Everyone, Zhang was ordered to arrest Lin Rong." Zhang Yuan looked at everyone in the room and said sternly: "Please cooperate with me, otherwise it will be unwise to harm your family."
"Zhang Lieutenant, how do we know that you have not joined the Demon Cult and have evil intentions?" someone asked in the hall.
In Chu State, it is not surprising at all for officials to collude with the Demonic Cult, or even be members of the Demonic Cult themselves.
Before he finished speaking, the two people who had just made the move took out two waist cards and showed them in front of everyone.
Tianluo!
Everyone in the room took a breath.
Why does Tianluo want to deal with Lin Rong?
Behind Lin Rong is Lin Heng, an important minister of Chu!
Lin Rong, who was sitting at the top, couldn't believe his eyes.
Unlike everyone else in the hall, he has more and broader knowledge.
These two waist cards are indeed Tianluo's, but there are differences within Tianluo.
There are special cloud patterns on the two Tianluo waist cards just now. They are the inner guards of Tianluo, and they belong to the direct line of the Queen Mother's confidants.
Why did Tianluo Neiwei come to a small place like Yongxing? Aren’t they always in Danyang?
Lin Rong was trembling all over.
There must be something wrong.
Lin Rong was captured without hesitation, and other people in the hall naturally lost their will to resist. Immediately, the resistance outside the hall also collapsed, and Lin Rong's closest confidants were captured one after another.
Those who had been drinking and chatting with Lin Rong in the hall before, and who dared to attack Zhang Yuan, immediately switched sides after seeing the Tianluo waist card, and expressed their loyalty to Zhang Yuan. , to serve the Queen Mother.
They didn't know the two people who made the move, and they didn't dare to go forward casually to get close to him. They were only familiar with Zhang Yuan. In the current situation, if they didn't go forward and establish a relationship with Zhang Yuan quickly, what were they waiting for?
It is obvious that Tian Luo trusts Zhang Yuan.
With the cooperation of these people, the riots in the city were quickly calmed down, and everything returned to calm. However, quietly, Yongxing City had changed its owner. The garrison captain Zhang Formerly the acting county magistrate.
Lin Rong was sitting in the study, and he was slightly relieved that he was not thrown into prison. It seemed that his eldest brother Lin Heng still had his face.
Why did Tianluo Neiwei find his head?
Tianluo inner guards are usually people close to the Queen Mother. They investigate and deal with major treason cases. Only those who pose a threat to the Queen Mother will work for them.
I am a small county magistrate, worthy of the internal guards?
Could it be that the eldest brother wants to rebel?
Suddenly thinking of a possibility, Lin Rong shivered involuntarily.
Is this impossible?
If the eldest brother really had this idea, he would usually at least reveal some clues in front of his younger brother. But in my opinion, what the eldest brother has been planning is how to take it one step further!
Just like this year, the eldest brother is planning how to launch a raid to see if he can capture Xiangcheng.
In the last battle of Xiangcheng, both sides suffered heavy casualties. In the end, Da Chu captured Fancheng, but Xiangcheng was still in the hands of the southern town army and was now controlled by He Zudao. If Xiangcheng was also captured , that would be considered a complete victory, and the regrets from a few years ago could be completely made up for.
No reason!
Lin Rong was puzzled.
The study door rang and a man walked in.
Lin Rong looked up, and it was not the two people before, but a person he didn't know. With a clang, a chair was placed in front of him, and the man sat opposite Lin Rong.
"I'm not familiar with you, but I'm still very familiar with your elder brother." The visitor smiled.
"Who is your Excellency?" Lin Rong felt a glimmer of hope in his heart: "We, the Lin family, have always been loyal to the imperial court and never have second thoughts."
"Perhaps. But I want to ask now. Yours, if you don't answer honestly, the consequences will be terrible!" The visitor said with a smile: "At this time, your subordinates are also being interrogated, but they are not. With such a good treatment, Tianluo's interrogation methods are also known to you, so don't expect them to help you hide anything. Explaining yourself is the best way to get forgiveness. And Lin Rong, as long as it is not treason, other things will happen. , It’s really not a big deal, is it?”
Lin Rong nodded in confusion.
"What do you want to know? I must tell you everything I know."
"Very good, this is a good attitude, then let's start with the Battle of Xiangcheng Let's start talking about recruiting soldiers in Yongxing County before now, okay?" the visitor said with a genuine smile.
Jiang Ping sat there, flipping through the county annals of Yongxing County out of boredom.
Looking at it, a sneer appeared at the corner of my mouth.
Look, look, look, over the years, how many of the county magistrates here have the surname Lin?
And anyone with the surname Lin can stay in this position for a long time.
Not many people named Lin can serve a full term.
In Fanfan, those who have names and surnames in the county basically have the surname Lin.
No wonder!
No wonder the old couple said that all the mountains and rivers were named Lin, and they didn’t even dare to go up to the mountains to catch game. After so many years of operation, could Yongxing County really be considered a part of the imperial court?
And in the whole Dachu, how many places like this are there?
With a bang, Jiang Ping threw the county magistrate on the table.
It looks like a cluster of flowers, but is it actually a collection of gold and jade, but a bunch of flowers and flowers among them?
That Li Dachui really got it right!
The female cicada in her arms suddenly started to tremble.
Take out the small box and open the lid. The female cicada flutters her wings and hovers in the air.
Has Li Dachui convinced those people outside the city?
It’s really efficient in doing things.
Fortunately, I’m not slow here either.
The riot just lasted for a very short time and was calmed down. Now, it should be at the interrogation stage.
Everything is progressing in an orderly manner.
The mother cicada began to circle in the room, which meant that Li Dachui was very close. Jiang Ping opened the door and walked out.
Li Dachui appeared on the ridge of a roof outside. In front of him, the cicadas buzzed towards him, and he, with a few leaps, landed in front of Jiang Ping.
"Jiang Jiang, you have fulfilled your mission. You can solve the problems in the city in one day!"
"It doesn't take a day, just one night today!" Jiang Ping said with a smile.
