Jinyiwei's psychic case: the opening is Lingbo Weibu

Chapter 1291

"I swear to follow Duke Xu to the death!"

"Make sure to complete the mission."

"Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy."

On the drill ground, the Imperial Guards displayed their menacing demeanor.

Meanwhile, in the pavilion about tens of meters away from them, Huang Chaojie, the Vice Commissioner of the Northern Garrison and Xu Shan's former superior, heard these words and saw this scene from afar. He then spoke softly to Qinglong beside him.

“As the Assistant Magistrate, Deng Ziyue is making such a big fuss.”

"Tomorrow at the morning court session, those censors, officials, and ministers will surely impeach our Northern Garrison Command again."

"Should we remind them to be mindful of their actions?"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, he was toying with the string of 'Dzi beads' in his hand, tilting his head to confidently examine the azure dragon on the 'mountain-suppressing stone' on the table, and replied without even looking up, "Be mindful of your limits?"

“If they knew what ‘appropriate boundaries’ meant, they wouldn’t be Xu Shan’s soldiers.”

"In the past two days, at least two urgent letters have been delivered directly to the Inspectorate."

"They even used a top-tier delivery method over there."

"Do you know what this means?"

"what?"

"Your subordinate is dull-witted!"

"Chaojie, you're not stupid. You're just too cautious."

"Deng Ziyue is Xu Shan's living advertisement in Beijing."

“He dared to mobilize the patrol battalion, the city defense battalion, and the inspectorate to carry out this mission together.”

"Just to make one point..."

At this point, Qinglong slowly raised his head and said, "Xu Shan, even the imperial censors, officials, and some ministers are preparing to take action."

"This……"

Before Huang Chaojie could finish speaking, Qinglong showed off his 'Dzi bead bracelet' and said, "How about it? Pretty, right?"

"Ok?"

Only after Qinglong reminded him did Huang Chaojie vaguely sense the faint spiritual energy contained within this 'Dzi bead' bracelet.

"My lord, this, this is the 'heavenly bead bracelet' worn by celestial beings?"

"You have a good eye!" Qinglong replied with a smile.

"It is said that each bead contains a great deal of spiritual energy."

"Sir, where did you get this bracelet from?"

After Huang Chaojie finished speaking, Qinglong replied with a smile, "Didn't Xu Shan kill two Heavenly Officials in the north?"

"He seized three strings of [items]!"

“One string was sent to Yuhang, one string was sent to the palace, and the other string is with me.”

Sending it to Yuhang was naturally for Old Ji. Sending it to the palace, however, was for Yuan Tiangang.

In addition, there's this string of... in Qinglong's hand.

Alright, Xu Shan has now honored all three of his living fathers.

It's no exaggeration to say that even if Deng Ziyue led the team tonight, they would still cause a huge mess.

Yuan Tiangang and Xing Tongzhi, both inside and outside the palace, would also clean up their messes.

Of course, given Xu Shan's 'deterrent power' in Beijing, it's not enough to get them to take action right now!

But they handled this matter very well.

"My lord, you already have a dzi bead bracelet to nourish your soul."

"This mountain-suppressing stone, which can nourish the body, should be reluctantly given to my subordinate!"

The Zhenshan Stone was also seized by Xu Shan from Zuo Gu Zi at the imperial mausoleum.

Before leaving Beijing, it was sent to Qinglong.

"Bullshit. Who would complain about having too many treasures around them?"

Upon hearing Qinglong's words, Huang Chaojie, with an awkward smile, pointed to the calligraphy behind him and said, "My lord, you've changed!"

"Forgot your original aspirations."

“You have ‘openness’ hanging behind you.”

"How can one accept bribes from others?"

After Huang Chaojie finished his nonsensical ramblings, Qinglong said with a straight face, "Is this a bribe? This is a junior showing respect to his elders."

"Also, how is this 'open and honest'?"

“My junior, Xu Shan, who can tear the Heavenly Official apart with his bare hands, has spoken.”

These two characters are pronounced "dangfu".

"My original intentions haven't faded, and I still love this kind of relationship."

"I go!"

"Sir, don't you feel that you have a strong 'Xu Shan' smell about you now?"

"Haha."

"In Xu Shan's words, this is: abandoning personal integrity and enjoying a life of immorality!"

"Old Huang, give it a try."

"The youngest sage realm in the Ming Dynasty, the philosophy of life he comprehended. That's fucking awesome."

'Thump!'

Just as Qinglong was brainwashing Huang Chaojie, the tightly closed door was knocked on from the outside.

"Come in."

As the door was pushed open, Deng Ziyue, dressed in a flying fish robe, walked in with a smile.

"Assistant Judge Huang!"

"Something's up, Ziyue."

"It's nothing serious. Lord Xu, may I ask Magistrate Xing if the dzi bead bracelet is any good?"

"Huh? You farted? Spit it out."

"It's like this. Lord Xu, I would like to ask the Assistant Magistrate of Criminal Law to do a small favor for me."

As he spoke, Deng Ziyue handed the newly received documents to Qinglong with both hands.

The moment it was opened, Huang Chaojie, who was standing next to it, also glanced at it several times.

'Hiss.'

After reading the general content, even he couldn't help but gasp in shock.

"Damn it, I knew Xu Shan was up to no good."

After feigning anger and scolding those words, Qinglong, who had been silent for a while, waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and do your work."

"Make a big splash when you make your move tonight."

"understand!"

After saying that, Deng Ziyue bowed and left the room.

After he left, Huang Chaojie hurriedly said, "Sir, Dean Yan was promoted to the position of Dean of the Censorate by Lai Mingcheng."

"If we touch him..."

Before the other party could finish speaking, Qinglong sneered, "That kid Xu Shan, he either doesn't make a move at all, or since he does, he definitely doesn't intend to leave the other party a way out."

"At this time, Ji Pifu must already be in Jiangnan, preparing to take action against the Yan family."

"He's giving a warning to Grand Secretary Lai, whose style has recently changed drastically!"

“I’ll take charge of this. Tomorrow, you and your men will be ready to arrest people at any time.”

"Yes."

'Boom.'

Just as Qinglong finished speaking, the capital city, which was already shrouded in dark clouds, erupted once again with a piercing thunderclap.

'Clatter.'

Before long, a torrential downpour began!

No matter how unpredictable the weather in Beijing may be, the high-end establishments along the Qinhuai River remain brightly lit.

Especially at the renowned "Willow Heart" in the capital, it was packed with distinguished guests, and the atmosphere was one of singing and dancing!

Many literati, merchants, and high-ranking officials flocked here, indulging in a life of debauchery.

But recently, something seems to have happened.

Many of the people who came here were discussing the war situation in the north.

Especially when it was mentioned that the Cui family of Qinghe was wiped out and the eight great families of Jinzhou were forced to 'defect to the enemy and betray the country', some indignant scholars even pointed the finger at the benevolent Duke of Xu in public!

In their description, Ningwu Pass, the strategic gateway between northern and central Shanxi, was lost.

It was because after Duke Xu arrived in Beiliang, his series of harsh measures aroused public anger.

The seemingly serious description has already vilified Xu Shan as a traitor who disregarded the Ming Dynasty in order to demonstrate his power.
