Hearing Cai Jing's words, the two were overjoyed. One had power and the other had money. They were like fish in water. It was difficult to be inferior to paint.
Xu Changxue drank a lot of tea and hurried to the toilet.
"My son, I told the emperor about Chen Wenshuang this morning. The emperor has already issued an edict to demote Chen Changping to Lingnan. He will only confiscate the land and mansion in Tokyo and keep a little of the Dongping Mansion for his own use. You can rest assured now." Cai Jing smiled.
"That's good. Thank you for your help, godfather. Here's fifty thousand taels.”Ximen Qing respectfully presented the silver notes.
Cai Jing did not stand on ceremony. With a glance, the butler accepted it on his behalf.
"Teacher, wasn't Gao Yamen's actions inappropriate?”Xu Changxue said to Cai Jing.
"That matter is really inappropriate, but it is also reasonable. That Lin Chong is too unreasonable. Since Gao Yamen likes his wife, then give it to him. It is really ignorant of the times to make such a broken family and banish them into the army.”Cai Jing sighed.
"Godfather, what's the matter? Instructor Lin is the most famous instructor among the eight hundred thousand Imperial Army instructors.”
Ximen Qiao asked despite knowing the answer. Before he transmigrated, he knew that Lin Chong's wife had been teased by Young Master Gao.
Cai Jing gave a brief account of Lin Chong's matter and sighed at Lin Chong's loyalty and fortitude. However, he could not help even if he wanted to. The real power to mobilize the army in the court was in the hands of Gao Qiu and Tong Guan.
"This old man is guessing that Lin Chong's life and death are hard to predict on the road to exile. The Grand Commandant will not let him live until he is banished."
Cai Jing sighed again. "Let's not talk about this matter. My son, let me tell you a happy news. You have been promoted to the rank of Chief Justice.”
Of course, Ximen Qiao stood up and thanked him. Xu Changxue, who was watching from the side, was instantly jealous. What kind of talent did Ximen Qiao have to be so favored by the Grand Preceptor?
A commotion broke out outside the door. The butler came over to report that the other officials had also arrived. Cai Jing waved his hand and said," Let's drink to our heart's content today!”
This meal allowed Ximen Qiao to get to know several governors, inspectors, and even ministers.
Ding!
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the love of Li Shishi. System points 1,000.”
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining five hundred thousand taels of silver. The system will reward you with a piece of information.”
"What information?" Xi Men Qing, who was drinking, heard the pleasant voice of the system in his mind.
"Intelligence report, Wild Boar Linchong is in trouble. If the host saves Chong Lin, the system will reward you with other rewards and points.”
"Wild boar forest? Then wouldn't Lu Zhishen save him?”Ximen Qiao remembered that the movies and TV series before he transmigrated were all like that.
"No, Lu Zhishen has already gone to the Twin Dragon Mount.”
"I see. What wild boar forest? When are you going?"
"When we return to Qinghe, we can just take a small path.”The system's voice disappeared.
Ximen Qiao had wanted to meet up with Li Shishi again, but it seemed impossible. After the banquet ended, Ximen Qiao said goodbye to Cai Jing and rode off with the two servants.
The two servants lost their master in a short while. They walked along the official road, while Ximen Qiao had already taken a shortcut.
This shortcut was not just any worse than the official road. There were potholes everywhere, high and low, overgrown with trees and lush grass.
After walking for a long time, he did not see anyone. Occasionally, a few small merchants who came and went would be a little afraid when they saw Ximen Qiao. Although it was close to the capital, it was a place where bandits and wild beasts roamed.
Ximen Qiao got off his horse and prepared to rest for a while, drink some water, and eat some dried meat he brought along the way.
As she was drinking water, she vaguely heard the sound of fighting in the pine forest on her left. She rushed over to take a look.
More than ten masked men were fighting with knives around three people. The one wearing a long cangue should be Chong Lin.
The unkempt Chong Lin seemed to be restricted by shackles, hindering his movements.
The dozen or so men had gradually gained the upper hand. After Lin Chong killed one of them with the shackle, he was kicked to the ground by the men in black who had followed behind him. A few steel knives were already placed on his neck.
"Chong Lin, this day next year will be your death anniversary. What else do you have to say?”One of the men in black walked out and said coldly.
"Who sent you? Why are you chasing me?" Chong Lin was not afraid.
"It doesn't matter if I tell you. Grand Commandant Gao wants your life, so you can complain to the King of Hell!”The black-clothed man gave the order, and a few steel sabers were raised and slashed down together.
Chong Lin didn't close his eyes. Instead, he glared at the unfair world. Suddenly, he saw a few men in black who were close to him fly away. He was also blown by a gust of wind.
A man dressed like a young master was standing there with a golden fan in his hand.
The remaining men in black were stunned. They quickly reacted and shouted, raising their sabers to slash.
Ximen Qiao used his golden fan to break the shackles on Chong Lin's body. He pushed out Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms with both hands and sent the man in black closest to Chong flying.
Chong Lin, who had unlocked his shackles, was terrifying. He picked up a shackle and smashed the head of a man in black. Blood and brain matter splattered all over the ground.
By the time he went to look for the other men in black, there were no longer any standing. They were all on the ground, dying.
From a distance, two officers who were trembling with fear walked over nervously.
