Chapter 68 The Zhou family’s plan

Lin Mang frowned and stared at the group of blue-robed scholars in the distance, his expression slightly cold.

He walked up directly.

"Snapped!"

The one who yelled the most harshly was slapped.

"roll!"

Lin Mang stared at several people coldly, his face cold.

The scholar who was still shouting just now was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "You untouchable, how dare you hit me!"

"I have a great reputation!"

"Snapped!"

Lin Mang slapped him again with his backhand, pressed his head directly, and knocked him hard on the ground.

He hit him several times in a row until his head was covered in blood.

Several people nearby were frightened, and one person yelled in a hurry: "Someone is coming!"

"Someone, come and report to the official!"

Before the speaker could finish his words, Lin Mang slapped him to the ground, frightening the other people and quickly shut their mouths.

Lin Mang looked at the few people coldly and said sarcastically: "Trash!"

The man whose head was covered with blood just now became furious, covered his swollen face, got up and roared: "My father is a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, you dare to hit me..."

Before the man finished speaking, Lin Mang grabbed his neck. Lin Mang sneered and said, "I am an official!"

"Jinyiwei Baihu, Lin Mang!"

"Why, who is your father?"

The scholar whose neck was stuck and whose face was covered in blood suddenly opened his eyes wide. When he heard Lin Mang's words, he was stunned.

Jinyiwei?

Instantly I felt a chill on my back.

The real reason why he followed these people here was because he fell in love with this tofu seller.

I thought that with my status, I could easily capture him, but this pariah refused to obey.

Lin Mang threw him down and said coldly: "If I see you again in this Jiao Zhongfang from now on, I can guarantee that you will die in an ugly way."

"roll!"

Several people were frightened and trotted away quickly.

However, the man whose face was covered in blood just now gave Lin Mang a rather resentful look before leaving.

Lin Mangxian glanced at the frightened girl who was cowering aside, turned around and left without saying anything more.

But he sighed helplessly in his heart.

He knew that this was just a small microcosm of the current era.

Every day, I don’t know how many times the same thing happens.

The once prosperous Ming Dynasty has begun to decline.

But now he is just a member of a hundred households, and he can't manage that far. The only thing he can do is to take care of the things in front of him.

…

Wuqinghou Mansion, a separate courtyard somewhere.

Li Mingcheng was practicing martial arts in the courtyard when a housekeeper from outside the courtyard bowed and walked in.

"Master."

Li Mingcheng said coldly: "What's the matter?"

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment and then whispered: "Two Jinyi guards just delivered a coffin. They said it is a New Year's gift from their 100 households to you."

"Bang!"

A wooden pile fell into pieces in an instant. Li Mingcheng turned around fiercely and said angrily: "Lin Mang! That's too much!"

The housekeeper whispered: "Master, Li Tianhong is dead and is in the coffin. The Tianhong Gang was also wiped out last night."

Li Mingcheng's face was gloomy and he said coldly: "Is it Lin Mang who did it too?"

The housekeeper nodded slightly, and then said: "The master said that if you can't handle this matter, then let him take action."

"No need!" Li Mingcheng's face became more and more gloomy, and he said coldly: "I will solve it myself!"

"Get down!"

…

Beizhen Fusi, lobby.

Cheng Hongnian held the secret report in his hand, chuckled lightly, and said faintly: "This kid really knows how to fix things."

Those Jianghu gangs have always been a problem, but in this position, he can't take action.

If he takes action, he will be impeached unanimously by all officials.

Yuan Changqing on the side was holding tea, blew it gently, raised his head and said, "Isn't this just what you want?"

"Are you almost ready for that matter?"

Cheng Hongnian nodded and said: "The rumor has been released. News came from the court today that those guys are already very noisy."

"The Holy One has sent a decree. The Jinyi Guards will take the lead in the extermination of the White Lotus Sect this time. At the same time, Dongchang, Six Gates, and the Fifth Army Commander's Office will be dispatched to assist."

Yuan Changqing pondered: "It seems that the Holy One is very serious about this matter."

Cheng Hongnian shook his head and said: "There is nothing to do with the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, but you also know the situation above the court. Those people who are eating corpses will not miss this opportunity."

"Just today, I have received many invitations from the big guys in the court. Their purpose is very obvious."

Yuan Changqing chuckled and said lightly: "Even so, you still want Lin Mang to go?"

It was obviously a war to annihilate the White Lotus Sect's branch, but it became an action to distribute credit in ancient and modern times.

A branch of the White Lotus Sect has thousands of members at least.

But in fact, there are not many real members of the White Lotus Sect, most of them are non-staff members of the White Lotus Sect.

Cheng Hongnian said in a deep voice: "The son of Marquis Wu Qing will also go this time."

"Huh?" Yuan Changqing frowned and asked in confusion: "What is his identity?"

Cheng Hongnian did not answer, but turned around and took a copy of the paper.

Yuan Changqing opened it and glanced at it, suddenly realized, with a sigh on his face: "This Zhao Jingzhong seems to be planning to follow Wu Qinghou to the end."

A Zhou Yunsheng died in the West Courtyard, and his heirs are still young. The position of the 100th Household of the 400th Household in the West Courtyard will now be held by Li Mingcheng.

It seemed like an extremely unreasonable thing, but now it happened.

The position that Zhao Jingzhong originally planned was Lin Mang's. Now that Lin Mang has taken office, he can only settle for the next best thing and choose the 400th Household Office.

However, different Baihu Offices have different jurisdictions and powers.

In order to curry favor with Li Mingcheng, Zhao Jingzhong had previously handed over Jiao Zhongfang to the management of the 600th household, but now it was an advantage for Lin Mang.

"Huh!" Cheng Hongnian snorted coldly and said coldly: "He just wants the position of governor."

Yuan Changqing pinched his eyebrows and said softly: "If the Fifth Army Commander's Office participates, it will be so powerful that it may scare the grass and scare the snake."

Cheng Hongnian said calmly: "Do you really think that the guys in the court would not think of this? They are just afraid that my Jin Yiwei will have too much credit and too much power, which will threaten their rights and interests."

"This time the troops from the Fifth Army Governor's Office will leave Beijing in the name of training to suppress bandits and participate in the encirclement and suppression on the periphery."

Yuan Changqing put down the tea cup, shook his head and said: "There are still many loopholes."

If this matter were completed by Jin Yiwei alone, there would never be these troubles, but now the forces of all parties are mixed.

Cheng Hongnian glanced at him and said solemnly: "So, I will personally participate this time."

Yuan Changqing was slightly startled, looked at him deeply, and advised: "Why are you doing this?"

During this period, not even he knew what Cheng Hongnian was planning.

…

In the evening, Lin Mang received an unexpected invitation.

"The Zhou family..."

Lin Mang shook his head and threw the invitation down casually, "Tell them that I am not available."

Tang Qi on the side said in a low voice: "Sir, someone from the Zhou family said that they want to personally apologize to you."

Lin Mang sneered and said lightly: "If I kill your son, will you have no resentment in your heart?"

Tang Qi immediately knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I know you will never do anything lowly!"

"From that day on, I have already decided that this life will be yours from now on!"

Lin Mang blinked and laughed, "I'm just giving you an example."

"Get up."

Lin Mang picked up the tea and took a sip. A coldness flashed in his eyes, and he faintly said: "Send someone to check on the Zhou family."

"If they don't obey, then there is no need for them to exist."
