Lin Mang smiled, cupped his hands and said, "Senior, junior is taking my leave."

……

Marquis of Wuqing,

The vermilion door opened slowly, and several servants replaced several white lanterns at the entrance of the mansion.

Looking along the open gate, the mansion is hung with white silk.

In the main hall, there is a high-quality nanmu coffin.

The scent of incense sticks is lingering.

All around the hall were kneeling servants dressed in white gauze.

Light footsteps came from outside the hall.

A figure standing under a bright red umbrella came slowly.

Hearing footsteps behind him, the kneeling servants lowered their heads even lower.

These days, too many people have died in the Hou Mansion.

Marquis Wu Qing stood at the entrance of the hall, looked at the figure leaning against the door frame, and said calmly, "Why did my son die?"

Holding the sword in her arms, Xia Xueyi's tone was equally calm: "Ming taught Yang Xiao to make a move, but I can't beat him."

Marquis Wu Qing nodded slightly and stepped into the hall.

At this moment, a group of people suddenly broke into the courtyard.

The leader is dressed in eunuch clothing.

"Marquis Wuqing, Your Majesty has an order!"

Marquis Wu Qing turned around and knelt down.

"The minister accepts the order!"

The eunuch glanced at everyone, and suddenly looked at Xia Xueyi who was at the side, with a slightly cold expression: "Bold!"

"How dare you not kneel when you see the imperial decree!"

After the words fell, a young eunuch behind him suddenly slapped out his palm.

"boom!"

Xia Xueyi was directly slapped by this palm and flew out, vomiting blood on her back.

When he was about to draw his sword, suddenly an extremely sharp killing intent enveloped him.

A slightly feminine voice suddenly came from outside the Hou Mansion.

Use Qi to control sound!

Infuriating into a thread!

"Hero Xia, it's so easy to see blood at the funeral of the young master, please put away your sword."

Finally, some waves appeared on Wu Qinghou's calm face.

"Director Cao, it's the Marquis who is not strict with his orders, which made Governor Cao laugh."

"Ha ha!"

"Master Hou is serious."

"It's the people under the governor who offended Lord Hou."

That voice drifted away.

The eunuch held up the imperial decree and said respectfully: "By the heavens, the emperor, the edict said: Li Mingcheng, the son of Marquis Wuqing, colluded with the local guards to murder Jinyiwei, which delayed the battle and caused heavy losses to Jinyiwei. Marquis Wuqing had no way to teach his son. Closed for three months."

"The minister leads the decree to thank you!"

Marquis Wuqing received the imperial decree with respectful hands.

As the eunuch passing the decree left, a housekeeper stepped forward and bowed and said, "Master Hou, just got the news that Lin Mang has been promoted to Qianhu."

Hou Qinghou didn't answer, but looked at the butler next to him, and said leisurely: "Uncle Li, how long have you been in the mansion?"

The bowed butler said, "30 years."

Marquis Wuqing sighed, "You are also my father's old man, right?"

"Yes." The butler nodded slightly.

"Are you from the East Factory or the West Factory?"

The butler was slightly startled, then slowly straightened up, and said, "Dongchang, spy."

Marquis Wuqing glanced at him, turned around and left.

A thin silk thread suddenly popped out from the hand of the woman holding the umbrella behind her.

A bright bloodstain appeared on the butler's neck, and his eyes widened angrily: "Yanyu heartbroken silk!"

……

About the inauguration of the newly appointed Qianhu in the west courtyard of Beizhen Fusi, it has been thoroughly spread throughout the Nanbei Town Fusi.

Not only Fusi of Nanbei Town, but also the whole Beicheng.

If it was a seat of a hundred households, it wouldn't be such a sensation.

But this Qianhu seat was previously reserved by Zhao Jingzhong.

What Zhao Jingzhong is in charge of is the patrolling of the capital, and its jurisdiction involves the six districts of Beicheng.

Unlike the Wucheng soldiers and horses, Jinyiwei has much greater power to patrol the city.

After all, Wucheng soldiers and horses are only targeting ordinary people, some thieves in the rivers and lakes.

But Jin Yiwei is targeting various officials, aristocratic families, and sects of the Jianghu.

Within the capital city, there are many kinds of smuggling business, fighting with weapons, and scrambling for territory. People from Wucheng Bingma Division dare not investigate these things.

Often one eye is opened and the other eye is closed.

Everyone knows who is standing behind those forces.

And Zhao Jingzhong was there before, so he took care of those people.

Of course, he got a lot of money from it.

Therefore, this seat is a favorite, and I don't know how many people are staring at it.

Since Zhao Jingzhong's death, the forces of all parties have started to compete, and they are all trying their best to arrange their own people to take the position.

As a result, news suddenly spread that this seat was taken over by a hundred households.

The successor is the recently rumored Capital Killing God.

Lin Mang returned to the west courtyard.

Tang Qi greeted him immediately, and said with a smile, "My lord, Zhao Jingzhong's courtyard in the west courtyard has been cleaned up for you."

Lin Mang nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the hall, "Tell all the hundred households, deputy thousand households, to come to the meeting hall."

"If you don't come, you won't use it in the future."

Tang Qi responded with a smile all over his face, and left quickly.

Chapter 99

West Court,

Qianhusuo, the meeting hall.

Two deputy thousand households and four hundred households sat in the hall.

On the grand master's chair on the left is a burly man who is more than two meters tall. His arms are extraordinarily thick, like iron cast into copper.

His face was even more ferocious, and when he sat there, the first impression he gave was that he was a vicious and cruel person.

This person is one of the two deputy thousand households, Yan Jue, who was born in Shaolin Temple, and later returned to vulgarity. He inherited his father's position as Jinyiwei General Banner, and was promoted to deputy thousand households within ten years.

Those who can sit in the seat of deputy thousand households are generally not too weak.

If the deputy thousand households of Beizhen Fusi are placed outside, they are all at the level of thousand households.

But Jinyiwei has always been a radish and a pit, and various interests are intricate. There are only so many real powerful households, and strength alone is not enough.

If it weren't for Cheng Hongnian's efforts to protect him, even if Lin Mang made enough contributions, he would never be able to win the seat of Qianhu.

Opposite him was a man with a slightly feminine face, a pair of fox eyes revealed a bit of cunning.

Unlike Yan Jue, Jiang Liuyun, deputy Qianhu, has always been Zhao Jingzhong's right-hand man.

It's just that I went out on a mission some time ago and didn't come back until recently.

As for the next four hundred households, two of them are Jiang Liuyun's confidantes, one of the remaining two is Yan Jue's confidant, and the other is neutral.

It was an old man with an old face, leaning on an iron crutch in his hand.

Those who can maintain neutrality between the two parties are obviously not ordinary people.

Time passed minute by minute.

The hall fell into an eerie silence.

Several hundreds of households looked at each other, and couldn't help but look up at the two deputy thousand households.

Everyone has been sitting here for nearly three hours since they arrived, and one can imagine how they feel.

If it weren't for the prestige of this Xinqianhu "Killing God", he would have left long ago.

Lin Mang was too fierce, if he said he wasn't afraid, it would be a lie.

Jiang Liuyun played with the dagger in his hand, and a coldness flashed under his eyes covered by his long hair.

When he returned to Beijing half a month ago, he learned that Zhao Jingzhong was dead.

These days he has been hiring people to operate, just to get the seat of this thousand households, but in the end he was cut off by a hundred households.

Although Lin Mang has a fierce reputation, he is not afraid.

This time he went out on a mission, he was lucky enough to get a chance, and his strength improved greatly.

Before returning to Beijing, he was already planning for the position of Qianhu.

Jiang Liuyun suddenly asked with a smile, "Yan Qianhu, what do you think of this new Qianhu?"

Yan Jue slowly opened his eyes, with a slight sneer in his deep pupils, he said lightly, "I don't have any opinion."

"admire!"

He and Zhao Jingzhong have always been at odds, otherwise they wouldn't be out on missions often.

This time, I also heard that Zhao Jingzhong had died, so I returned to Beijing.

Jiang Liuyun smiled lightly: "He has a hundred households, yet he has become your and my boss. Don't you have any thoughts in your heart?"

Yan Jue closed his eyes directly, not bothering to pay attention to this insidious villain.

The best way to deal with these insidious guys is to ignore them.

……

In another courtyard,

Lin Mang put down the secret scroll, looked at Tang Qi who was coming from outside the courtyard, and asked, "How is it? Has anyone left?"

Tang Qi shook his head and replied, "They have been staying in the meeting hall."

Lin Mang looked up at the sky, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "It seems that patience is good."

Originally planning to fish for law enforcement, but I didn't expect these people to not be fooled.

Lin Mang got up and patted Tang Qi on the shoulder, then turned and walked out of the courtyard.

"Let's go, let's go to Liufang, Beicheng."

Tang Qi was taken aback for a moment, then hesitated and said, "My lord, then they..."

Lin Mang waved his hand and said, "Order, send someone to tell them in three hours, and tell them that I have something important to ask them to come back tomorrow."
