In the palace, Zeng Mingzhi repeatedly ordered, "Quickly, clear out the wing room for King Mu and others to rest."

"You guys, don't be troublesome and stay away. If anyone offends King Mu, I will punish him without mercy!"

"During this period, please cheer me up and act with caution. Don't let King Mu think that I am not worthy of the position!"

Zeng Mingzhi kept giving instructions to the many subordinate officials and policemen standing in the hall.

If you want to make King Mu feel good, you have to start with small things. Therefore, these superficial skills must be achieved.

After giving the instructions, many subordinate officials and government officials took the order and left. Zeng Mingzhi paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his hands, thinking about what details he had not noticed.

According to normal circumstances, it would take several days for King Mu to arrive at Lilanfu City... Just as Zeng Mingzhi was thinking this, suddenly a dusty government servant rushed in and said, "Sir, Sir, King Mu and others,

We have arrived thirty miles away from Fucheng!"

Zeng Mingzhi turned around quickly and was shocked, "Why did King Mu come so quickly?"

Without any time to think about it, he shouted quickly, "Quick, follow me out of the city to meet you!"

……

Thirty miles away from Lanfu City.

A group of people and horses were very fast, and everyone on horseback galloped towards the front, raising billowing smoke and dust.

There are not many people in this group, nearly two hundred, but each one is extremely capable, with a sharp aura like a knife, and his eyes are as sharp as a hawk.

In front of this group of people, there is a dark-faced man, wearing a bright red python robe and a jade belt. He is very noble, but his solemn look, tight lips, and the occasional flash of sharp light in his eyes all show that this man is very noble.

Yi people.

Behind the black-faced man, a horse's length away, followed the two men.

The person on the left is a third-rank official with a fair complexion, a beard under his chin, and a scarlet robe. He is the left deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The person on the right is a man in black clothes with a serious face and sharp eyes. Even though he is riding a horse, his right hand is still holding the handle of the long knife diagonally across his waist. He is ready to take action at any time and is observing the surroundings vigilantly.<

/p>

This person is from Qianhu, and like the two hundred men in black clothes following him, he belongs to the Imperial Spy Guard, one of the two imperial guards.

In addition to the many armies that guard Zhanjing, Emperor Linzhan also has two powerful forces, the Imperial Spy Guards who specialize in inspections, and the Thousand Sword Guards who specialize in personal protection.

The two guardsmen are all the best among the best, and they are unparalleled in their bravery. Even two hundred people can resist more than five hundred ordinary soldiers.

Even after running for a long time and traveling day and night, the expressions of the numerous imperial spies and guards remained unchanged and their breath was long.

The same is true for the dark-faced man, who doesn't show any signs of fatigue, but Shi Baiguang, the deputy chief censor from the left, comes next. He is over fifty years old and a scribe, so how can he bear the pain of traveling around like this?

Before, he was afraid of King Mu's power and did not dare to say anything, so he could only rush all the way. But now he found that his waist and heels were sore and aching as if they were broken. He couldn't bear it anymore and could only speak out, "Your Majesty, we are only three miles away from Lilanfu City."

Ten miles away, we don’t need to wait... there’s no need to rush like this..."

King Mu frowned slightly, looked back, and replied in a deep voice, "Thirty miles, only three-quarters of an hour, keep going."

After that, he continued to gallop, and Bai Guanglin could only grit his teeth and urge the horse to follow closely.

Two-quarters of an hour later, King Mu's team arrived a few miles away from the city. From a distance, they saw a motorcade approaching and occupying the official road.

In the team, an imperial spy guard rode out and galloped forward.

At this time, the convoy in front had stopped, and the imperial spy guard rushed forward and shouted loudly, "Whoever is in front of you, don't occupy the official road, get out of the way!"

On the carriage guarded by the crowd, the curtain was opened. Zeng Mingzhi poked his head out and saw a group of people rushing towards him in the distance. The leader was wearing a python robe. He immediately understood that it was King Mu who had arrived.

He was surprised, he didn't expect King Mu to be so fast.

Although soldiers are very quick, there is no need to be in such a hurry when it comes to reviewing matters.

He quickly got out of the car and shouted to the imperial spy guard, "I am the prefect of Lilan, here to greet King Mu."

After hearing this, the imperial spy guard immediately returned and informed King Mu of this.

Leading the crowd, before King Mu came to the motorcade, Zeng Mingzhi hurriedly took a few steps forward, bent down and saluted respectfully, "Your Majesty, Zeng Mingzhi, see King Mu, and see Mr. Zuo Fudu, the Imperial Envoy."

King Mu sat on the horse without dismounting. When Bai Guang came to see him, he did not dare to dismount without authorization. He could only sit and remain silent.

Turning his eyes, he glanced at the many government officials, and then looked at Zeng Mingzhi. King Mu looked solemn and said coldly, "Go back to the city immediately!"

After that, he bypassed many government officials and galloped towards Fucheng, followed by many imperial spies and guards on horseback.

Bai Guanglin had been an official for many years and knew the ways of being an official. He should have dismounted and exchanged a few words with Zeng Mingzhi, but as King Mu was the imperial envoy, he was his deputy and had to act with the imperial envoy. He could not act recklessly without permission, so he could only smile bitterly.

Enduring the pain in my back, I also rode my horse to catch up.

Zeng Mingzhi's face was ashen and he was still trembling. It could be seen from King Mu's behavior that he didn't like him very much.

From the looks of it, I’m afraid I won’t be able to escape punishment this time!

He was so panicked that he didn't dare to delay. For fear of being a few steps slower and causing King Mu's dissatisfaction, Zeng Mingzhi ran and jumped on the carriage and shouted to everyone, "Hurry, go back to the city!"

But the carriage was slow, and even though the driver was riding hard and the government servants were running wildly, it took Zeng Mingzhi and others nearly two-quarters of an hour to get back to the gate of Fucheng.

Seeing that there was no one at the city gate and King Mu was not here, Zeng Mingzhi secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, King Mu was not kept waiting for a long time. Maybe the other party had gone to the government office at this time.

So he hurried to the government office.

When they arrived at the government office, Zeng Mingzhi led the crowd and was about to go in when he saw many imperial guards leading their horses, mounting their horses and galloping around.

Zeng Mingming knew that he was doubtful, so he quickly asked the government officials to come forward, stopped a capable imperial spy guard, and asked where he was going.

The other party's eyes were sharp and he responded coldly, "Investigation!"

After saying that, the imperial spy guard rode away.

Zeng Mingzhi was frightened. No wonder King Mu was able to uncover hundreds of corrupt officials within five months. This speed is unmatched by anyone!

He trotted quickly and entered the palace, where he saw King Mu sitting on the throne, a man in black clothes standing behind him, and Bai Guanglin sitting on the side.

As soon as he ran into the palace, Zeng Mingzhi heard King Mu say coldly before he could speak, "Go, send someone to call the relevant people."

Zeng Mingzhi was a little surprised, "Your Majesty, what is this?"

"Ask a question." King Mu responded coldly.

Zeng Mingzhi was stunned and started investigating the case as soon as he arrived. This...

Although he was surprised, he could only follow the instructions and let the Yamen go to summon people.

After a moment of silence, Zeng Mingzhi said in a low voice, "Why don't you rest for a few days, Your Majesty? Your Majesty is preparing to host a banquet for Your Majesty tonight."

"Rest?" King Mu snorted coldly, "If you hadn't made a big mistake, would I still need to come here to rest?"

"Jie Feng Yan, do you think I'm here to enjoy the mountains and rivers?" King Mu scolded angrily, "Do you know how much trouble you have caused in Lilan Mansion?"

Sitting on the side, the deputy capital minister did not speak, but he nodded.

Indeed, although Linzhan seems to be peaceful, due to the military crossbow incident in Lilan, Zhanjing has begun a major review, and many people must be dismissed from their posts to be killed.

Zeng knew that he was scolded and did not dare to say anything. His face turned pale and he could only nod his head.

Not long after, Jing Xun and Quan Shenhan arrived one after another and saluted respectfully to the three people in the hall.

King Mu looked at him coldly, he had seen Jing Xun before, and Quan Shenhan was not a member at first glance, so he frowned and looked at Zeng Mingzhi, "Where's Qin Yi, why didn't you come?"
