Chapter 415 Murderous Intent
Lin Heng picked up the seal and stamped it heavily.
The material of this seal is extremely special, like stone and wood, but it has the sound of gold and iron when struck. It is said that it is a treasure dug out from the mud of the Great Lake, which is thousands of feet deep. Finally, it was divided into more than ten parts for making seals.
Lin Heng’s piece is one tenth of this.
Not to mention how special this seal is, the box of ink pad in front of you is probably unheard of by ordinary people. It takes up to two years to make and is several times more valuable than the same weight of gold. Even if the ink pad covers the dossier, it will not fade or change color even if it lasts for tens or hundreds of years.
Sometimes the luxury of those wealthy and aristocratic families is really invisible to ordinary people.
Looking at a simple piece of clothing, you may not be able to afford it with your annual income, but a pair of cloth shoes that you think are cheap can make you sigh at the price.
Just like this box of ink pad, in the eyes of ordinary people, what is the difference between it and ordinary ink pad?
After packing the letter with his own hands, sealing it with wax, and sending someone to deliver it, Lin Heng stood up and stretched for a long time.
The DPRK has received clear information that he is about to return to the DPRK to serve as Minister of Household Affairs.
Speaking of Yong'an County Sheriff to Minister of Household Affairs, they can only be regarded as equal, but the importance is far different. The difference between local officials and central officials is still very big.
Moreover, in the Chu court, the ministers of the various ministries only had honorary titles and did not care about matters. The people who really took care of things were the left and right ministers. And this time when I go back, I will serve as Zuo Shilang. To put it bluntly, I will be the top leader of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Now the power of Da Chu is being concentrated step by step towards the center, and the importance of working under the nose of the Queen Mother is becoming more and more prominent.
But before leaving, Lin Heng also wanted to impress the Danyang princes. He was preparing to launch a large-scale attack on Xiangcheng, hoping to win Xiangcheng in one fell swoop.
If Xiangcheng and Fancheng fall into the hands of Dachu, they will definitely have an advantage in the negotiations with He Zudao.
Now, because He Zudao holds Xiangcheng, he is still strong-backed in front of Dachu.
Whether you can win or not, as long as you don't suffer a loss, you will make a profit.
We must let the princes in the court know that we are both civil and military.
The Queen Mother already knows that she can fight with a spear when mounted, write books and commentate on dismounted, and is good at profit-making. Otherwise, the position of the left minister of household affairs will not fall to her. superior.
There is a little trouble over there in Yongxing, but it’s nothing.
Sending two to three thousand cavalry will solve the problem.
Of course, the troops haven't set off yet, that's because Lin Heng wants his younger brother Lin Rong to make enough contributions.
Since the Queen Mother came to power, military merit has occupied an increasingly important position in the promotion system of Da Chu. How can we not reject the military merit that comes to our door?
After Lin Rong fought this battle, he could recommend talents without avoiding relatives, and directly recommended Lin Rong to Yong'an County to serve as Sima and continue to control the army.
It doesn’t matter who will serve as the Yongan County Sheriff, because if the new County Sheriff wants everything to go smoothly in Yongan, he must cooperate with Lin.
Otherwise, it will only be an advantage for him if he is struggling, and it will be a simple matter for him to be ruined.
The door of the room rang softly, and a person stepped into the room.
"Chief, something happened!"
Lin Heng frowned slightly. His name was Wang Jun. He was a master of the ninth rank of Xuanyuan. He had served in the Great Chu Army before. Years ago, the rebellion failed and he fled the world, only to find himself here later.
I was also entrusted by others and had to accept him.
However, there is indeed a shortage of such talents for Xuanyuan Ninth Grade experts here.
I just sent him to Yongxing for business a few days ago.
"Isn't Yongxing just the Demon Cult inciting some mud-legged people to rebel? How big of a thing can happen?"
Wang Jun shook his head and said: "The county guard, Tianluo inner guards appeared in Yongxing , they went directly to the garrison captain Zhang Yuan, and then captured Lin Rong and the others in one fell swoop! "
"Tianluo inner guards?" Lin Heng stood up suddenly. "Why did the inner guard appear in Yongxing? Who is leading the team?"
"He Han is leading the team!" Wang Jun took a deep breath and said: "I asked around and it is said that the little princess appeared in Yongxing, and He Han was protecting the little princess. I don't know who the little princess is. He made a mistake and suddenly ordered Lin Rong to be captured!"
"That unruly little princess, the overlord of Danyang?" Lin Heng asked. "It should be so. Didn't this person follow Jiang Shiyuan to Luoyang some time ago? As a result, Jiang Shiyuan died, Han Zheng was also injured, and the little princess disappeared!" Wang Jun said: "It seems that he was rescued by He Han ”
“Just arrested Lin Rong?”
Wang Jun shook his head and said: “But the inner guards immediately surrounded the Lin family’s ancestral home that night and raided it. It was only when I saw this that I knew something was wrong, Sheriff, there are many things stored in your ancestral house, and they must not fall into the hands of the imperial court!"
Lin Heng walked around the room a little irritably.
"Lin Rongcheng Mansion is not enough, and it falls into the hands of Tianluo Internal Guards. He is afraid that others will scare and deceive him. He will even confess how many times he left semen when he was a boy!"
" Those things should have been destroyed long ago! "Wang Jun said: "If it falls into the hands of the Queen Mother, I am afraid that the governor will not be able to become the Minister of Revenue, and the Queen Mother is most afraid of it. What is it? The local ministers are colluding with the royal family."
"I have no collusion with the royal family, it's just some normal interactions!" Lin Heng was a little annoyed: "The old general is my mentor!"
< br>Wang Jun didn't speak, just looked at Lin Heng.
Lin Heng also shook his head, these were meaningless.
In such a political struggle, it is impossible to mix in any human feelings and sophistication. There is only life and death.
Two years ago, the little emperor's biological father rebelled and Danyang was massacred. Since then, Xiong Shoufu and General Xiang, who were still semi-retired, have completely lost their voices.
But does losing your voice mean you do nothing?
After all, they were the two most powerful people in Da Chu.
Therefore, the Queen Mother's fear of them also comes from her heart.
Once you find out what you have been dealing with in private, things will be very bad.
“Are you sure that the internal guards were not personally sent by the Queen Mother to check on me?” Lin Heng asked.
"Is there any difference?" Wang Jun looked at Lin Heng puzzledly: "Those things must have fallen into Lin Heng's hands now. The little princess has naturally seen it. Is it hidden or not? Live. Sheriff, the little princess probably saw the refugees rebelling and was a little curious. After asking about it, she probably found out that the Lin family was more domineering in Yongxing. Eleven, let the inner guards arrest Lin Rong first, but Lin Rong was frightened by the inner guards and said everything! Come on, let alone something else."
Lin Heng stopped suddenly and stared at Wang Jun with bright eyes.
Wang Jun's heart skipped a beat, "Guardian."
"Lin Han, commander of the Tianluo Internal Guard, a confidant of the Empress Dowager, with a ninth-grade Xuanyuan cultivation level!" Lin Heng said in an authentic voice: "This is the case. It’s not like we can’t deal with people!”
Wang Jun immediately understood Lin Heng’s choice and whispered: “County guard, Lin Heng wants to defend the little princess, so he can’t escape and can only fight with us. After all, it would be easy for us to take his life, but what about the little princess?”
“The little princess was injured by those mobs, and Lin was indeed guilty of failing to protect her. However, during this riot, Lin was injured. Hundreds of people from a certain tribe in Yongxing, as well as an old man who was over seventy years old, were killed in this battle. Even if the Queen Mother is angry, she can't say anything more about me, right?" Lin Heng said in a clear tone: " Besides Jiang Ping, the little princess, the Jiang family also has several children, so she is not so indispensable, right?"
Wang Jun took a breath and looked at Lin Heng, I just felt goosebumps on my body.
Lin Heng not only wanted to kill He Han and the little princess Jiang Ping, but also wanted to bury all the members of the Lin family in Yongxing with them. This was indeed a good move that could calm the Queen Mother's anger and leave the court speechless. The only way is to do this. Is it really not harmful to Tianhe?
"Wang Jun, do you think I'm too cruel?" Looking at Wang Jun's appearance, Lin Heng asked.
Wang Jun did not answer, but looking at Lin Heng's expression, he confirmed this.
"Isn't there nothing I can do about it?" Lin Heng sighed: "Who would have thought that the little princess would go to a small place like Yongxing? How could they have thought that a mob would suddenly cause chaos? What a coincidence, what a damn coincidence. If we don't do this, if those things fall into the hands of the Queen Mother, our Lin family will die, not just the Yongxing branch, but also General Xiang will be involved, and how many people will Old General Xiang be connected with? "
Speaking of this, Wang Jun finally said with emotion.
"The county guard is right. If the old general is implicated, the Queen Mother, who has never been able to find a good excuse, can openly bring trouble to the old general. It will definitely be another bloody storm, and enough people have died. "More!" Wang Jun suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Lin Heng: "I want to thank you for the old general!"
"You are the general's subordinate, aren't I also the general's disciple?" Waving his hands, he said: "It's just that the general trend is now, and it is a foregone conclusion that the Queen Mother will take power. And Wang Jun, you have also seen that under the leadership of the Queen Mother, Dachu is indeed thriving. That's it! Sometimes there is gain when you give up. My father, Lin Rong, and the others will be smiling if they know that they are dying for the glory of the family."
Wang Jun nodded silently: "Then I will go to Yongxing to lurk first, and when the army arrives, I will take advantage of the chaos to cover up the attack."
"Take more people!" Lin Heng said: "He Han will not leave the little princess, but there will definitely be other internal guards who can't hit him. If people run away, it will not be a trouble, but we will be finished.”
“Don’t worry, Sheriff! I will take my people there. If there is any problem, the county will not be implicated in the slightest. On Shou’s body.”
