Daming: Becoming a Jinyiwei at the beginning

Page 65

West Factory,

A eunuch from Xichang stepped into Chen Ju's office room and said respectfully, "My lord, a hundred household from Jinyiwei came outside, surnamed Lin and named Mang, and said that he wanted to inform you about the progress of some cases."

After writing the case, Chen Ju felt a little surprised, pondered for a moment, and said, "Bring him to see me."

"Yes!"

After a while, Lin Mang followed a Xichang eunuch to the outside of the hall.

Lin Mang walked in, cupped his hands and saluted, "Jinyiwei Baihu, Lin Mang, met Admiral Chen!"

Chen Ju chuckled, looked Lin Mang up and down, and stretched out his hand to signal, "Sit down."

"When I first met you, I thought you were extraordinary. Now, in just a few months, you have already stirred up the situation in the city."

Chen Ju showed emotion.

He had seen quite a few people, but this was the first time he had seen people like Lin Mang.

In his eyes, he couldn't see the awe of power.

Even imperial power!

No matter how you look at it, Lin Mang doesn't look like a lunatic.

Lin Mang stood up and clasped his hands, "I'm here this time to expressly thank you for taking care of my subordinates and helping me many times."

Chen Ju smiled lightly and said, "It's just a trivial matter."

"Some things, I am not simply helping you, I also have my own considerations."

"For example, this time, how do you know that I have never profited from it."

Chen Jumin glanced at what Lin Mang had brought, and was about to speak, but Lin Mang was one step ahead of him.

"My lord, this was just picked up near the West Factory. Since no one claimed it, the subordinate officials decided to bring it back. I troubled you to keep it on my behalf so that the owner can be found."

Chen Ju froze for a moment, and a trace of conspicuous astonishment flashed in his eyes.

Chen Ju looked at Lin Mang in surprise.

To be honest, it was the first time he saw such a different kind of rhetoric.

No wonder his adoptive son tried to introduce him to Xichang several times.

Chen Ju nodded and said nothing more.

After the two chatted for a while, Lin Mang got up to say goodbye and leave.

Looking at the leaving figure, the smile on Chen Ju's face disappeared little by little, and he whispered to himself: "Cheng Hongnian, what are you planning..."

The matter of Zhao Jingzhong this time is by no means as simple as it appears on the surface.

Lin Mang was safe and sound, in addition to doing everything possible to protect him, part of the reason was that Cheng Hongnian gave up some benefits.

Above the officialdom, this is the case.

There are no absolute friends, no absolute enemies, only interests.

……

evening,

Lin Mang received an invitation card unexpectedly.

Looking at the invitation card in his hand, Lin Mang felt a little headache.

He is now very conflicted about these banquets.

Not a single good thing!

But he also knows that above the officialdom, various social banquets are indispensable.

Even if it is the chief minister of the first dynasty, there is an imperial banquet that needs to be attended.

If it was a normal banquet, he would have rejected it.

But this invitation cannot be easily refused.

The person who sent the invitation was from Xichang, Chen Ju's adopted son, and Li Jinzhong.

Only now did he know that the person he met when he entered Beijing was actually Li Jinzhong.

If he remembered correctly, the famous Nine Thousand Years old was called Li Jinzhong before changing his name.

Being accepted as a adopted son by Chen Ju is definitely not a simple person, so there is no one else but him.

"Ugh……"

Lin Mang sighed softly, ordered Tang Qi, and rode out of Beizhen Fusi to Yunxi Tower.

……

into the night,

Yunxi Building is brightly lit.

Lin Mang got off his horse, and the servant outside the Yunxi Building immediately came up to meet him, and said flatteringly, "My lord, I will lead your horse to the backyard."

These people who are at the bottom have already developed a pair of "sharp eyes" to recognize people.

Lin Mang glanced at the servant unexpectedly.

As soon as he took two steps, a figure with a handsome face came out quickly, with a smile on his face.

"Master Lin!" Li Jinzhong said with a smile, "Long time no see."

Lin Mang also cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Li, last time I didn't know the identity of Mr. Li, so I took the liberty."

"Haha!" Li Jinzhong chuckled, and pulled Lin Mang inside very enthusiastically.

The two came all the way to the private room on the third floor, and Li Jinzhong explained with a smile: "The chefs in this Yunxi building are very skilled in cooking, so I made the decision to book here."

"Master Lin won't blame him, will he?"

Lin Mang joked with a smile, "I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come to this Yunxi Tower if Master Li hadn't invited me."

The smile on Li Jinzhong's face became more intense, and he was obviously in a good mood.

As a eunuch, he is inherently sensitive.

Many people are respectful on the surface, but secretly they bite each other.

But he could feel that Lord Lin did not despise him because he was a eunuch.

Li Jinzhong's mood was agitated for a while, he directly picked up a glass of wine, and said loudly: "Master Lin, I respect you for this glass of wine!"

When the words fell, he drank directly.

Lin Mang also drank a glass of booze.

Li Jinzhong put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "This time Master Lin is invited to come here because of the White Lotus Sect. This time, I will be in charge of the West Factory. I hope we will have a happy cooperation in the future."

Lin Mang froze for a moment, with a look of astonishment on his face, he said in uncertainty, "Master Li, how do you know that I am the person in charge of Jinyiwei this time?"

Li Jinzhong said casually: "I found out three days ago."

Lin Mang's eyes narrowed slightly.

Li Jinzhong said with a smile: "Come on, Lord Lin, move your chopsticks."

After finishing speaking, he started to eat unceremoniously.

Seeing this, Lin Mang no longer hesitated.

Anyway, if someone treats you, don't eat for nothing!

……

In a blink of an eye, two days have passed.

Lin Mang led the people under his command to the Fusi martial arts training field in Beizhen.

In the field, there were already five hundred households waiting with their Jinyiwei under their command.

Seeing Lin Mang approaching, a strange look flashed in their eyes.

Lin Mang glanced at the people in front of him, frowning slightly.

All the people from the West Courtyard!

Not only are they all from the West Courtyard, but these people were once Zhao Jingzhong's confidantes.

He stretched out his hand and squeezed the space between his eyebrows, feeling a little headache.

Sure enough, this time things were not that simple.

Soon, a guard in Jinyi came and said in a deep voice, "Master Zhen Fushi has ordered that Lin Baihu is fully responsible for this operation, and all Jinyi guards in each hundred households must obey Lin Baihu's orders."

Everyone looked different.

The next moment, Qiqi cupped his hands and said, "Obey!"

Lin Mang was slightly taken aback, and looked at the five hundred households thoughtfully.

These guys don't seem like people who are willing to obey easily.

Chapter 79 Tsing Yi Building

Lin Mang stepped towards the field, his momentum gradually rising.

With every step, the aura on his body would faintly increase, and after a few steps, a majestic might had gathered.

Ling Lie's eyes swept across everyone, full of majesty.

At that moment, everyone felt a heavy pressure like a mountain.

Lin Mang said coldly: "Since I am in charge of this operation, I have a rule, I hope you can keep it in mind."

"From now on, what I say is the rule, you can only implement it, and you are not allowed to refute it!"

"If you don't accept it, you can stand up now!"

"Who has an opinion!?"

silence……

At this moment, even the five hundred households were silent.

"In that case, I'll take it as if you didn't."

Lin Mang smiled coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Several hundred households, you leave the capital with me. As for the people under your command, they will be led by their respective general banners, leave the capital, and meet in Hejian Fucheng."

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of the previously calm five hundred households immediately changed.

This is clearly trying to cut their military power.

They had already known about Lin Mang's appointment as the commander-in-chief.

Since you know that you can't change it, it is really unwise to stand up and refute it.

But Lin Mang's move directly disrupted their original plan.

A hundred households stood up, cupped their hands and said, "Lord Lin, is this inappropriate..."

Lin Mang's expression suddenly turned cold.

"Oh!"

Before the words fell, the Baihu who spoke flew out backwards, fell heavily to the ground, and vomited blood.

The crowd changed.

Lin Mang said coldly: "I said, you just need to carry out my orders!"

"If you don't want to hear it, you can leave now."
