But if you want to upgrade the God of War Illustration to a small achievement, it will cost 300,000 merit points.
Too much, too much, and still not enough money.
Sure enough, hard work is the right way; adding more is a crooked way, and the money is not enough.
There is never enough money to spend!
Looking at the remaining merit points, Li Mu fell silent.
"Sir, it's bad, something happened!" At this time, Sun Mengxi's voice came.
Li Mu was shocked and said: "Could there be another murder case and another murderer is committing the crime!"
"That's not true!" Sun Mengxi said: "Sir, after killing the nine-tailed fox, all the gangs and families are honest and well-behaved."
"What happened?" Li Mu asked.
"Ningbo is safe and sound, but something big happened in Jinling. The prefect of Jinling was killed in the official office!" Sun Mengxi said, "Just three days ago!"
The distance between Ningbo and Jinling is very short, and there is close communication between them. This matter spread quickly.
"The prefect of Jinling was killed in the government office!"
Li Mu was shocked.
This time, it breaks the sky!
The prefect is equivalent to the mayor in later generations.
But the prefects are also divided into different levels.
Jinling is the core of Jiangnan, with a higher status than other regions, and is equivalent to a municipality directly under the Central Government in later generations.
The prefects in other areas are only of the fifth rank; but the prefect of Jinling is of the fourth rank, and his status is higher than other prefects.
But now, he was killed in the government office.
"Who is it? Who has the guts to kill a prefect in the Jinling government office!" Li Mu said in horror, "The Jinling government office is a big fortress with three thousand elites stationed in it, and there are masters and masters stationed in it. Once
Even if Jinling City falls, it can still hold on for a while!"
"Under such tight defense, who is it? That martial arts master!"
Martial arts masters have always kept a respectful distance from the imperial court. They have done a lot of justice for heaven, but they rarely kill officials directly. Especially killing the prefect of Jinling is almost a provocation to the imperial court.
"have no idea!"
Sun Mengxi said: "We can't control the affairs of Jinling, but the defense of Ningbo Mansion must be improved. At least it must be improved to the point of resisting the assassination of the Grand Master!"
"Okay!" Li Mu nodded.
Suddenly, the government office originally guarded by 500 armored soldiers was increased to 1,000 people, and the protection level was increasing.
…
The imperial capital, the center of the Zhou Dynasty.
When Emperor Du sneezed, Da Zhou would tremble a few times.
Everything that happened to the prefect of Jinling was spread to the imperial capital in just an hour.
This world is a world of martial arts. It is backward in many aspects, but after inheriting the ancient civilization, it is super advanced and terrifying in some aspects.
In the imperial study, the emperor was reviewing memorials, with two princes and three ministers kneeling below.
The emperor said nothing and reviewed the memorials until an hour later, when he finished reviewing the last memorial, he suddenly said: "The prefect of Jinling is dead!"
"yes!"
The third prince spoke.
"Is it the work of the Demon Cult?" the emperor asked.
"The devil's saint responded, no!" the third prince said.
"If she said no, then it's not. It seems like it's definitely not the case!" The emperor said: "The prefect of Jinling is dead, it's time to investigate! Kill to pay for your life, and pay for your debts! The gun god of the Six Doors, the flower of the Xuanjing Division
Wuying, jointly handle the case! By the way, we need locals from Jiangnan, and local factions! Wu Yong is good, but too smooth; Qian Mu is good, but he is old; Liming has a son, and his courage has become less!"
The emperor was silent: "... Li Mu, Li Tanhua, it is said that he first served in the Hanlin Academy, and later came to Yinxian County as the county magistrate. Three years later, he was rated as excellent; later he served as Ningbo Tongpan. It has been two years and he has done well. He
His talent in martial arts is also pretty good. He has perfected the Secret of Immortality. He is already in the late innate stage. It is possible for him to be supremely perfect and condense into an indestructible body!"
"Just him! Li Mu is specially ordered to go to Jinling to investigate the death of the prefect Zheng Yong. Both the Six Gates and the Xuanjing Division are headed by Li Mu to investigate the truth of the matter!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
…………
"Meet the angels!"
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Special order, Li Mu is the imperial envoy to investigate the case, together with the six-door gun god, Xuanjing Si Hua Wuying, etc., to jointly investigate the cause of the death of Zheng Yong, the prefect of Jinling!"
The messenger wore brocade clothes and announced the emperor's will.
Li Mu took the order and said: "Angel, this is..."
He is just a Ningbo magistrate, a fifth-rank official, and the second-in-command in Ningbo. But in the imperial court, there are too many fifth-rank officials like him. Even when investigating the cause of death of the prefect of Jinling, he is not needed!
But now, he was actually asked to join the investigation team.
Among the investigation team, there are local sects, Liumenmen, Xuanjing Division, etc., who jointly investigate the case.
And among the imperial edicts, he ranked first, which means that he is the leader of the investigation team... Now that he has been promoted, his status is still above that of the gun god, Hua Wuying.
The imperial edict is one thing, but will these two be convinced?
If you are not convinced and cause problems, it will be a big trouble.
Li Mu thought about it. He had been an imperial officer in the capital for two months, a county magistrate in Yinxian County for three years, and a magistrate in Ningbo for two years. Now he was twenty-seven years old and had been an official for several years. He thought about the emperor's meaning.
"Sir, pack your things and leave as soon as possible!" the angel warned.
"yes!"
Li Mu nodded.
"Sir, do you want to set off?" Sun Mengxi said.
"Yes. Pack your things and set off quickly!" Li Mu said.
"yes!"
With that said, Sun Mengxi went to inform others to summon the guards.
"Congratulations, Jane is in the Emperor's heart!" Wu Yong said, "This is His Majesty's test. If you can pass it, you will definitely be promoted!"
"Gao Sheng!"
Li Mu said: "I hope so, things in Jinling are not simple!"
Wu Yong reminded: "The things in Jinling are not simple. Whether we can solve the case is a trivial matter. Remember to save your life. The water in Jinling is too deep!"
Li Mu said: "Brother Wu, I understand! If I go with the guards this time, even the Grand Master can compete with me!"
This time when I went to Jinling, I had to bring 300 guards with me, otherwise I wouldn't feel safe... Maybe during the process of solving the case, he was killed and disappeared without a trace.
Two hours later, Li Mu set off with three hundred guards.
About three days later, we arrived at Jinling City.
Having just arrived at the government office, everyone was quite tired and wanted to take a rest.
At this time, weapons were ringing, and a group of men and horses appeared with a mighty momentum.
"Are you Li Mu?"
A young man asked, holding a spear in his hand.
When Sun Mengxi was about to say something, Li Mu waved his hand to stop him and asked, "I am Li Mu!"
"Li Mu, do you dare to fight me!" the young man shouted, pointing his spear at Li Mu.
