Lin Mang knew it in his heart, he bowed his hands and said, "Resignation!"

Watching Lin Mang leave, Yuan Changqing gave Cheng Hongnian a meaningful look, and asked with a smile, "What is written in the other two secret orders?"

Hearing this, Cheng Hongnian laughed suddenly: "I knew it, nothing can be hidden from you."

As he spoke, he took out two more secret decrees from his bosom.

Pointing to one of them, he said, "This one is for Lin Mang to be removed from all official positions and sent to prison."

Suddenly, a ray of flame ignited on the secret decree, burning the secret decree to death.

Cheng Hongnian pointed to the remaining one, and said, "This is the secret decree to send it to Liaodong Jinyiwei."

The three secret decrees are different, and they have all been prepared long ago.

Seeing the secret decree turned into ashes, Yuan Changqing suddenly said: "I'm curious, how much is your Majesty's original plan?"

The surprise in Cheng Hongnian's eyes just now did not hide from him.

Cheng Hongnian stretched out a finger and said, "One million taels."

The total treasury at the beginning was 400 million taels, a quarter of the treasury, which is already a considerable sum.

The court was short of money, and the emperor was even more short of money.

A Jianghu sect can easily spend several 10 taels, but the emperor's internal funds cannot do so.

Yuan Changqing smiled inexplicably, if the money was sent up, Lin Mang would definitely stand out even more in that person's eyes.

It is not just the amount of money, but the ability to do things that is revealed from it.

Cheng Hongnian reached out his hand to caress the Xiuchun knife on the stone table, heaved a long sigh, and said, "I'll say goodbye today, and I don't know when I'll see you again."

After all, the post of governor was never retained.

Although I had expected it, I still felt regretful in my heart.

This dress, this saber, will be sealed from now on.

Yuan Changqing picked up the teacup, gradually suppressed his smile, and said solemnly: "Brother Cheng, Yuan uses tea instead of wine, I wish you a safe journey."

Cheng Hongnian shook his head and said with a light smile, "Why do you have to make it look like parting from life and death? It's not like I won't be coming back."

Yuan Changqing took a deep look at Cheng Hongnian and didn't say much.

He believed that Cheng Hongnian's departure this time was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Cheng Hongnian turned his head and looked outside the courtyard, and said: "He is a good knife, I hope you can make good use of it, it is difficult for a relative to have a bloodline, but the clan, civil servants, nobles, and aristocratic families are still entangled illusions. , If they don't get rid of them for a day, the world will never be safe."

"I know your way of doing things. It will be much more convenient for you to have him around in the future."

Yuan Changqing shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "I can't hold his knife."

If he didn't say a word, I'm afraid even the one in the palace couldn't grasp it.

……

Lin Mang hurried back to the west courtyard.

The matter of Marquis Wuqing is considered over by the Son of Heaven.

As for the others, they are nothing more than chickens and dogs.

Even the leader is dead, what kind of storms can the rest cause.

"My lord!" Tang Qi came from the side and said respectfully: "Just now someone sent a letter, saying that the Minister of Guanglu Temple would like to invite you to visit the residence."

Lin Mang smiled lightly and said, "I really can't wait for everyone."

No need to guess, this person must also come for Pixiu.

The priest in charge of Guanglu Temple, how could he let such auspicious beasts as Pixiu go.

Chapter 123 Stepping into Marquis Wu Qing's Mansion Again

"Ignore him."

Lin Mang took the tea from Tang Qi, and said with a sneer, "He's just a Guanglu Temple minister, and he doesn't have that much face, so just find a reason to deal with it."

What kind of ghosts and snakes really dare to show their heads!

This is knowing that he killed Wu Qinghou, and he is ready to make trouble.

Unfortunately, they chose the wrong target.

But yes, whoever said that the person in the palace issued a secret decree, in the eyes of outsiders, His Majesty should be in a state of wrath now.

Those civil servants were all hypocrites, even Yue Buqun would bow down to them.

Lin Mang chuckled, turned his head and said, "Take a group of people and let's go to Marquis Wuqing's Mansion."

Tang Qi froze for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Sir, is it not appropriate for us to go to Wuqinghou Mansion at this time?"

Lin Mang said calmly, "There's nothing wrong with it, just show it to those guys."

Tang Qi didn't ask any more questions, and bowed in response.

……

Outside Wuqinghou's mansion.

At the end of the street in the distance, there was a sudden sound of dense horseshoes.

Horseshoe bursts!

Gradually, continuous black shadows rushed from the other end of the street.

"Flying fish suit!"

When the guards on duty saw the clothes the visitor was wearing, they were startled. They looked at each other, and one of them hurried into the Hou's mansion.

Around the street, some carriages that hadn't left stopped one after another.

The place where the Marquis of Wuqing Mansion is located is full of dignitaries, and there are many foreign relatives and clans.

Seeing Jin Yiwei coming, he couldn't help being curious.

just,

When they saw the ferocious-looking Pixiu in the front, their hearts were shocked.

What a terrifying beast!

Most people are unfamiliar with such strange beasts as Pixiu. They have only heard of strange beasts, but very few have actually seen them.

Seeing Pixiu for the first time is full of visual impact.

The moment Pixiu landed on all fours, electric arcs rippled on the bluestone floor, and a long arc was dragged behind him, faintly visible, like a swimming dragon, like a thunderbolt.

Looking at the gate of Marquis Wuqing's Mansion in front of him, Lin Mang didn't intend to stop at all, but speeded up instead.

The faces of the guards changed, and one of them shouted angrily, "Stop!"

"This place is the Marquis of Wuqing Mansion!"

As the saying goes, the third-rank officials in front of the prime minister's gate, as the guards of the Marquis of Wuqing, they have always regarded themselves as superior to others.

In the past, when officials at all levels came here, they all had to be respectful.

However, facing Jin Yiwei, they still feel faintly apprehensive, especially now that Lord Hou is not around.

If it wasn't for the Jin Yiwei who came, they would have drawn their swords out of their sheaths.

Lin Mang's face was expressionless, the moment Pixiu rushed past.

A flash of bright saber energy streaked across!

"Pfft!"

The heads of several people shot up into the sky immediately, and the blood gushed like a pillar.

Blood spattered on the stone lion in front of the door.

Almost instantly, Pixiu let out a low growl, his feet shook the ground like a dragon elephant, and stomped hard on the vermilion gate.

"boom!"

The heavy gate instantly fell apart!

Once, he retreated in front of this gate, but today, he smashed this gate!

Lin Mang rode a Pixiu into the courtyard.

At this moment, more than 50 guards with weapons gathered in the courtyard.

These guards were not ordinary people, and some of them were once well-known figures in the world.

Under the eaves of the main hall, stood an old man in plain gray clothes, his eyes were blurred, and his face was deeply tired.

Hundreds of Jinyiwei filed in, drew their knives out of their sheaths, with indifferent faces.

For a time, swords were on the verge of breaking out.

The air seemed to be full of gunpowder, ready to explode at any moment.

"Snapped!"

A drop of rainwater gently fell on the bluestone floor, breaking and splashing.

In the sky, there was a light rain.

Dark clouds gathered, and the sky suddenly became dark.

In front of the hall, the old man dressed as a butler said in a serious tone, "Everyone, I don't know why you broke into the Marquis of Wuqing's mansion without permission?"

There is anger hidden in his heart!

When did someone break into the majestic Marquis Wuqing's Mansion?

He is an old man in the Hou's mansion, and he has been in the mansion since the last Marquis of Wuqing.

It's just that because of his age, he has rarely come forward to take care of things.

Lin Mang stood on the Pixiu, his cold gaze swept over everyone, and he said slowly: "I am here to meet Marquis Wuqing."

The old man's face changed slightly, his eyebrows and eyes were gloomy.

"My lord, please go back!"

"My Lord Hou is in poor health, so it's inconvenient to see people."

"Really?" Lin Mang chuckled, waved his hand, and then said in a cold voice, "Tang Qi, move everything of value away."

Tang Qi's eyes widened suddenly.

My lord, what exactly do you want to do?

Tang Qi was a little confused, even frightened.

This...isn't it copying a house in disguise?

My lord, are you too bold?But for some reason, he was still a little excited inside.

Lin Mang glanced at him, and said softly, "What are you all standing there for?"

Seeing this, Tang Qi prepared to lead others forward with a feeling of apprehension.

"Wait!"

The old man looked enraged, and said angrily, "What are you trying to do? This is the Marquis of Wuqing's Mansion, even Jin Yiwei, you must not act presumptuously."

Although he didn't know what happened, but everything in front of him made him feel uneasy.

As if thinking of something, the old man's expression suddenly changed, and he said angrily, "You are Lin Mang!"

He has always lived in the backyard, and he rarely pays attention to outside affairs, so naturally he doesn't know Lin Mang.

But he still knew about the news that the killing god of the capital had returned to the capital, and the only one who dared to step on the Marquis's mansion was probably this lunatic.

After seeing Lord Hou return for a long time, he had a vague guess in his heart, but he couldn't figure out how such a person as Lord Hou would die at the hands of such a small person.

Maybe... Master Hou was delayed by something?

Lin Mang smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Marquis Wu Qing once told me that he would donate the government's finances to the Jinyiwei, and today I came here to collect it."

"Nonsense!" The old man suddenly became furious, and there seemed to be a ball of anger burning in his chest.
