Chapter 1020 Trouble
Tianlan City, commonly known as the Imperial City, is the place where the emperor stayed. People who live here have a certain arrogance, after all, they can feel the breath of the emperor all the time.
This sense of superiority is not unreasonable. Ordinary people in other places can never see the world as well as people in the imperial city. After all, an official with a thousand households in other places is enough to make people frightened, but in the imperial city, an official with a thousand households is not scary. to people.
Of course, there are no absolutes, there are always exceptions.
For example, Xuanqingwei's Thousand Household Officials can bluff many people even in the prosperous place of the Imperial City, where there are many officials and people.
However, Xuanqingwei's reputation in the imperial city is slightly better than other places, because there are few Xuanqingwei in the imperial city. very low.
It wasn't until the previous case of the Qin family that the people in the imperial city suddenly realized Xuan Qingwei's sharp teeth and viciousness. Later, in the case of the left minister Ye Lansheng, Xuan Qingwei's name was basically stained with blood. With the arrogance of ordinary people in the imperial city, they didn't dare to look at the people in Xuanqingwei's yamen.
Today, October 16, is cloudy and rainy.
For those who live in the imperial city, this day is another lively day for them to discuss for a long time, and it is even a day for them to learn a lot.
The area around the teleportation circle, which should have been noisy, was eerily quiet early this morning. The yells from various breakfast stalls, the yells and noises of carriages and horses, and the greetings and farewell sounds of attracting and sending people were all gone. up.
All the people passing by the teleportation circle shrunk their necks, bent their waists slightly, and walked quickly with light steps. Even if they were curious, they did not dare to stay. The only red lacquered wooden box is swept.
There are quite a few people who understand it, and those who don't understand it after whispering to each other also understand it.
Only then did I realize that the red lacquered wooden box was not an ordinary box, but a "wealth box". Although the name was festive, the actual box had nothing to do with festiveness, it was just "happy" with the person holding the box.
Fortune box, a box to get rich. But inside it is not treasure, but human heads, which are usually cut off and placed when soldiers are exchanged for military exploits.
But those who have been in the army know that there are very few people in the army who really need money boxes. They usually use straw ropes to enter through the mouth and out of the neck to form a string of numbers, which is convenient and saves wood. Only the heads of important people are kept in money boxes, such as enemies in important positions.
Therefore, it is not Junwu who really uses money boxes a lot, but Xuan Qingwei. Just like right now, after these treasure boxes were transported out of the teleportation circle, they were neatly stacked on the carriage one by one. All the Xuanqing guard soldiers in black robes and gluttonous patterns were handled along the way. The black flag battalion of "Xuanqingwei in Xuanqingwei".
Those who don't know are guessing in their hearts where the Heiqiying people started killing again? Looking at the posture of using the money box in a carriage, it must have killed a lot of people, right?
And those who know the origin of these heads are sure that the money boxes should contain the heads of the great families and the direct lineages of the Daxiu clan.
There are forty money boxes in a car, and there is an endless stream of people, and soon there will be a hundred cars, and it is not over yet, they are still coming out of the teleportation circle, and then they are loaded and transported away.
At the gate of Commander Xuan Qingwei's yamen on the back side of Junhou Street, the whole street was covered with red lacquer money boxes. More than a dozen commanders with rosters and portraits made the soldiers open and inspect each box, and after confirming, they drew a circle on the roster, and then someone took out the heads from the boxes and threw them into a large bucket. After the barrels are full, they will also be loaded and transported away, and then buried in mass graves outside the city.
Although the human heads have been processed so that they will not rot in just two days, the smell is not good, and there is a strange smell in the stench. I can't feel it for one or two heads, but now there are hundreds of them. It's uncomfortable.
Moreover, beside the soldiers who were counted and verified by the Commander's Yamen, there were several Yamen servants wearing the robes of the Ministry of Punishment. These Yamen servants also held the roster and portraits and did the same thing.
The yamen was counting and checking outside the yamen, and inside the yamen, Shen Hao stood in front of Pang Ban with his hands tied, and reported the raid against the aristocratic family and the Daxiu clan.
"My lord, the current operation is very successful. With the addition of Fenghong Villa, our casualties in the raid were minimal, and the main target people were wiped out. This is the detailed file of the operation. Please read it, sir."
Pang Ban took the dossier from Shen Hao but did not start to check it immediately, but looked at Shen Hao and said with a smile: "So, you are cleaning up dozens of aristocratic families and Daxiu clan while taking a break Breaking through two small realms in a row?"
It would be impossible for other monks in the Yuan Dan realm to break through Pang Ban and not be interested in knowing about it. But Shen Hao is different, that is the seedling he is cultivating as his successor, and it seems that he is satisfied in all aspects so far.
I was listening to the report from the secret guard arranged beside Shen Hao that Shen Hao not only had another epiphany a few days ago, but also jumped to two small realms in one fell swoop by virtue of the epiphany, changing from the third level of the Yuandan realm to the Yuandan realm Fivefold.
It was an epiphany and jumping to two small realms in a row. The combination of these is not a trivial matter, which means that as long as there are no accidents in the future, as long as Shen Hao practices honestly, he will definitely be able to hit the Xuanhai realm and have a great possibility of success. , It is all right to say that it is a certainty.
Therefore, in Pang Ban's opinion, Shen Hao's progress this time is much more important than the tasks currently in the hands of the Black Flag Camp.
"I made my lord laugh." Shen Hao bowed in response. He really didn't want to get entangled in his own cultivation, but there was no way to avoid it, and he was secretly entangled in his heart.
"Hehe, you should know that in Xuanqing Guard, those who are in the middle of the Yuandan realm and who are talented will be promoted to half a level from the fourth rank to become a commander, right?" Pang Ban's smiling words made Shen Hao's face freeze.
Come whatever you are afraid of.
Of course Shen Hao knew about this weird rule in Xuanqing Guard. The fourth-rank officials in Yuandan Realm and Middle Realm will be promoted to commanders. It seems that they are promoted, but in Shen Hao's view, they are actually taken over. Because although the commander has a high status in Xuanqing Guard, at best, he is just a group of powerful thugs.
Of course, Shen Hao didn't want to be the commander, and he also made excuses for himself, so when he heard Pang Ban mentioning this matter, he said, "Your subordinate is a brick in Xuanqing Guard, and you can move it wherever you need it." Everything is as per the orders of the adults.
However, the Black Flag Camp has just been integrated not long ago, and all aspects are still in the running-in stage. In addition, Blackwater's coverage of all aspects of the country and the DPRK has not yet been completed. These things cannot withstand changes.
Therefore, I implore my lord to give me some more time, so that my subordinates can sort out the matters in hand one by one. "
