"Yes, such behavior will naturally be a crime. However, she is a royal family after all, and if she makes this matter public, it will be a big blow to the reputation of the royal family. So the emperor handed over the matter to the old man and asked him to find out the involvement.

But Princess Changling was extremely careful in doing things and did not leave any trouble. Moreover, this matter was related to Princess Changling, which was just speculation. The news I got from the country of Baili was that the Star Pattern Divine Soldier was purchased from the East China Sea pirates..."

"I said no wonder, why did the imperial envoy suddenly go to Jeju to transfer the Qiantang naval commander, and you are so eager to know if the East China Sea pirates are related to Xie Tianci."

Chen Ling smiled, "The spies from Da Nei went to investigate, but they all failed. Later, Princess Changling died and there was no clue in this case. The East China Sea pirates have been silent since then, and the Star Pattern Divine Soldier has never been born again. But look at this battle report."

"Killing one thousand enemies, losing 800 by themselves. It was almost one-to-one. Could it be that the Star Pattern Divine Soldier appeared again?"

"Not bad! It's coming again. With this, it's certain that the Star Pattern Divine Soldier was sold. Princess Changling is not the leader behind the scenes, or the only leader behind the scenes."

"The country of Baili invaded the territory. Why didn't I hear that the court was going to use military forces against Baili? The tempers of civil and military officials in the court... are not that good, right?"

"Indeed, there have always been voices of requesting war in the court, but the emperor's first face was this thousand-year disaster. However, the emperor still sent envoys to Bailie, but the king of Bailie said that these people were not Bailie's army, but bandits wandering around Bailie's border."

"Isn't it nonsense? When will the bandits' strength be as strong as the regular army?"

"Who doesn't know this is a perfunctory statement? After this thousand-year disaster, Baili's life will be almost over. Even if this disaster is not over, Baili will have to be destroyed. Let's not discuss this matter for now. I'll ask you to explain something else this time."

"You don't let me go to Nanling, nor do you let me investigate the cause of Lord Qiantang's death. What do you say directly? It's so hesitant, it doesn't look like your style."

"I want you to go to Jiangbei Road." Chen Ling said solemnly.

"Jiangbei Road? Investigate the cause of Lord Qian's death?"

"No, it has reliable information. This time, the star pattern magic weapon obtained by the Baili Kingdom has a clear origin and is said to be purchased from Japan."

"Why are you talking about Japan again?" Lu Sheng's head was a little big, "No, it can't be Japan. Since the star pattern magic weapon is Dayu's untransmitted artifact, it will definitely have nothing to do with Dayu.

And how could a star-patterned magic weapon be produced in the place where birds in Japan do not shit?”

"I think so too. Since the beginning of the New Year, the Japanese pirates began to cause a rebellion in Jiangbei Province. From a time perspective, it happened to be right. I think this matter is not that coincidental, and there should be some connection.

I originally planned to hand over this matter to the old man's spy, but I thought they were not as reliable as you...so..."

"Okay!" Lu Sheng agreed readily without any reluctance, "Where is the identity to go to Jiangbei Road? You can't go to the case of the Star Pattern Divine Soldier, right?"

"Of course not. Lord Qiantang died of illness, and Jiangbei Road lacked one envoy. But you did not go as the next envoy. You were the inspector of Wuzhou and the head of the prosecutor's department of Tongnan Prefecture."

"Wuzhou Inspector?" Lu Sheng was secretly shocked, "Although this is not a regular official position...but... the title is very high, right?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that you have been promoted." Chen Ling said indifferently, "Because of your outstanding performance in Xuantian Mansion, and because of Liu Songbo and the old man's joint request, each person in Xuantian Mansion was promoted one level, and you were promoted to third level. In other words, your current official title is... from the fourth level."

"From the fourth grade..." Lu Sheng's pupils had dilated.

Previously, Lu Sheng had already been the mainstay of the court. From the fourth-rank official title, he had climbed to the upper level of the pyramid.

From the fourth rank, he is generally the top leader of the prefecture. As long as he has a few years of experience, he can be promoted to the prefect of a state or a Taoist rank to become a real chief official.

Lu Sheng is only twenty-three now. He is so young from the fourth rank. In the entire official system, there are definitely unique people who are born with titles.

Chen Ling was secretly proud of Lu Sheng when he saw Lu Sheng so excited. In order to give Lu Sheng a surprise, he endured this news for a long time but didn't tell Lu Sheng about it.

"How much money can I... cost in a month?"

"Cough cough cough..." Chen Ling was choked by saliva for a long time.

"Oh, by the way, it's eighty taels!" Lu Sheng came to his senses, "Eighty taels, you can buy a house in the suburbs of Jinling... Before I knew it, since I have become a high-paying clan."

"I just gave you 800,000 taels, okay? It's like a rustic bun."

"Is there any connection between the two?" Lu Sheng asked in confusion.

Lu Sheng didn't care much about 80 taels of silver a month when he asked this. It was purely an instinctive question about promotion and salary increase. Once a normal person was promoted, his first reaction was probably how much salary increased, not what position he had in the company.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll pack up and go."

"Oh!" Suddenly, Chen Ling called Lu Sheng again, "Go to Jiangbei Road, be careful. To be honest, I don't want you to go to Jiangbei Road."

"Don't worry, my strength is there, what are you worried about?"

"Your strength is good... but there is another stronger Jiangbei Road. It's in Tongnan Prefecture!"

Looking at Chen Ling's solemn eyes, Lu Sheng's expression also closed, "Beikan Hou?"

"Yes!" Chen Ling sighed long, "Don't think that Beikan Marquis is just a marquis, but he was a duke fifty years ago. This Beikan Marquis was hailed as the number one master of Dayu twenty years ago. Do you know his weight?"

"It's a little known to Mr. Beikan is a master, but he has never heard of his reputation as the best master of Dayu. Why? Mr. Beikan is so strong? Even better than the Xiling Prince's Mansion?"

"Strong! I don't know if the Xiling Prince's Mansion is strong, but I know that twenty years ago, he once killed the Tubo National Master to death with bare hands. When the Tubo National Master came to our court to make friends with martial arts, Taifu Chang believed that he was not a match for the Tubo National Master."

Hearing this, Lu Sheng's eyes became solemn. Taifu Chang's martial arts were unfathomable and he had already achieved the Taoist realm thirty years ago. Taifu Chang was ashamed of himself, but was beaten to death by Beikan Hou's bare hands?

However, since the Marquis of Beikan is so strong, why has he not been famous yet? And why has he only gained a Marquis with such strength? Moreover, the Marquis of Beikan, who was in Tongnan Prefecture, did not take action in the previous Sword Demon Rebellion?

All kinds of questions flowed in my heart, giving Chen Ling a solemn look, "Do you suspect it has something to do with Beikanhou?"

"That's not. Beikan Hou and the Japanese pirates are life-and-death enemies. He wants to collude with the Japanese pirates. I'm afraid that my husband's coffin board will not be able to hold it down. But Beikan Hou is in Jiangbei Road, so you must not be cautious in everything and never offend him."

"I know..." Lu Sheng felt that Chen Ling actually had something else to say, but he didn't say it. Lu Sheng knew that those words were also related to confidentiality. Otherwise, Chen Ling would not hide it from Lu Sheng and Shen Ling.

After leaving the office, Lu Sheng called Lu Jian and Duan Fei. Originally, Chen Ling planned to ask Lu Sheng to take a thousand Xuantianwei. But Lu Sheng felt that if he could handle it, it would be a waste to bring too much. But if he couldn't handle it, it would be useless to bring too much.

So I symbolically brought fifty Xuantian Guards, but these fifty were all elites among Xuantian Guards. Each one had at least the seventh level of acquired cultivation.

There was no mobilization or a farewell banquet. The next morning, Lu Sheng set out in a carriage and with the documents he took over.

When Jinling goes to Tongnan Prefecture, there are two ferry entrances, one is located in Changxi Prefecture and the other is located in Suzhou Prefecture. In order to take a look at Suzhou Prefecture, Lu Sheng chose to enter Jiangbei from Suzhou.

It has been half a year since I returned to Suzhou Prefecture, which seems to be more prosperous than before.

The prefect of Suzhou in this position was from the Yunnan Concubine, and his family was a well-known local gentry. He made his fortune by doing business in his early years, and it seemed that his talent for doing business was engraved in his genes.

Suzhou Prefecture has been rich for hundreds of years. Although it has never weakened, it has never made a big leap. However, after the arrival of this prefect Lu, he actually carried out drastic reforms to Suzhou Prefecture.

Lu Sheng has been paying attention to the development of Suzhou, so when the spider came to report, Lu Sheng once asked the spider to investigate whether the prefect Lu had traveled through time.

In the view of Magistrate Lu, Suzhou's men's farming and women's weaving was the biggest waste of manpower. Therefore, Kunnan County was used as a pilot and workshop operations were promoted. In the past, weaving and textiles were small-scale operations for every household. After collective mass production was implemented, the efficiency and quality of work were explosively improved.

After tasting the sweetness, Magistrate Lu tried every means to concentrate the labor force and promote assembly line work. For a time, a craze of work was set off in Suzhou Prefecture.

In the past, the fields in Suzhou Prefecture were allocated by households, and no one family could cultivate a lot of land. The only difference was that people with prosperous populations worked quickly and easily. But this was a huge waste of labor.

The promotion of industrialization by Prefect Lu gave the people's excess labor and promoted the prosperity of the city.

In the past, Suzhou City was the most lively on the day when the market was opened. But now, it is so lively every day. Because there are too many people, even the market that opens every three days has become open every day.

So this time walking on the streets of Suzhou City, it seemed as if the New Year was approaching. The whole street was filled with people.

The group came to Xuantian Mansion in Suzhou, and Spider and others who had already received the news were welcomed out.

Lu Sheng had to walk by Suzhou Prefecture when he went out for business, which made the old people who followed Lu Sheng from the beginning feel very at ease.

At least the words Lu Sheng said before being transferred were not pure comfort words. The people from Suzhou Prefecture are Lu Sheng's direct descendants.

"Sir, are you going to Tongnan Prefecture this time? Are you going to handle a big case?" Spider and Sun You were Lu Sheng's confidants, so they dared to ask tentatively such words.

"I can't tell you about the rules, but the time shouldn't be short. I may not be able to handle it in just a few months. You have done a good job this year, and the public security in Suzhou Prefecture has reached a new level. But Sun You, have you been lazy in practicing martial arts recently?"

"No?" Sun You replied blankly.

"I'm still saying no? Half a year ago, you were only one level away from the spider. Now? Spider is already at the peak of the acquired nature. Are you still the seventh level of the acquired nature? I know that you have done a good job in intelligence, but martial arts is also part of your ability. If you can't keep up with your martial arts, how can I take you away in the future?"
