Chapter 58: Court Response

"Master Yue, I won't see you off.

Sure enough.

After Lin Chen finished talking about the premise of practicing the Sword Manual of Exorcism, Yue Buqun's serious old face almost couldn't hold back.

This was the first time he heard someone talk about such a secret.

Lin Chen estimated that Yue Buqun would not spend so much effort to plot for the Sword Manual of Exorcism.

In this world of martial arts, there are many profound martial arts secrets lost in the world.

Besides, the Five Mountains Alliance has to rely on alliances to protect itself in such a big world.

So it didn't happen as in the book, where Zuo Lengchan took the position of the leader of the martial arts world to fight for the Songshan School to dominate the world. Suppress the other four sects.

On the contrary, the Five Mountains sects are of the same blood and have a very good relationship.

This makes the Five Mountains Alliance a first-class force among the martial arts sects.

In Lin Chen's opinion.

The Yue Buqun in this world should be more about revitalizing the Huashan Sect, and it would be best to take back the Huashan Sect's leadership position in the Five Mountains Alliance from the Songshan Sect.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Lin Chen.

The streets of Penggu County have returned to a peaceful scene.

These lower-class people who are trying to make a living have exhausted their energy just to survive.

"How much is the grain price?"

"Four hundred coins for miscellaneous grains, one guan and one stone for fine rice."

Lin Chen's eyes turned cold when he heard the words of the grain store waiter.

It has been a long time since he took action against evil merchants, and he almost forgot the traditional skills of confiscating property.

"Lord Pan!"

"Pan County Magistrate, please save us! "

Penggu County was finally relieved, but Pan Ji had no time to rest before he had to think of ways to restore people's livelihood.

For now, Pan Ji is a good official.

Pan Ji was surprised to hear these gentry and merchants who were complaining about their grievances.

These local tyrants used to be arrogant to him as a county magistrate.

Why did they come to him today?

Pan Ji thought of something, but did not go to see these people immediately, but let them sit restlessly in the front hall.

Pan Ji summoned a trusted yamen runner and asked him to go to the street to inquire about the reason.

Soon.

The yamen runner came back.

"Sir Pan, that General Lin is investigating grain merchants, saying that these guys are driving up prices, and their hearts are worthy of death!" The yamen runner looked happy.

His daily salary is not much, and it is difficult to support his family.

Not to mention that prices in Penggu County have skyrocketed recently. Now someone has come out to deal with these profiteers, and he can't wait to applaud.

Pan Ji also had the same expression.

"Good! "

He had long wanted to target these merchants, but the local gentry were behind them, and Pan Ji, the county magistrate, had no say.

Who would have thought.

These local tyrants had encountered a dragon from the river!

Especially since this dragon from the river was holding a weapon, he didn't care about a few more souls.

So, Pan Ji planned to play dead.

"Everyone, Lord Pan caught a cold last night, and is now seriously ill and can't get up. Please come back in a few days. "The yamen runner came to inform these gentry.

The gentry, who were wearing long silk satins and had round bodies, looked at each other in bewilderment.

What should we do?!

Soon.

After Lin Chen arranged soldiers to search the grain stores, the grain price in Penggu County returned to normal.

Lin Chen dared to take action against those grain merchants with monstrous backgrounds in the capital, let alone these gentry.

The scar healed and the pain was forgotten.

You must know that it was because of these desperate people that the White Lotus Rebellion occurred.

When people are about to starve to death, they can do anything.

Naturally, Lin Chen did not want to see the White Lotus Religion that he had suppressed, because this group of gentry and landlords who forgot their loyalty for the sake of profit revived.

He had arranged for Yang Zhi, Wei Cheng and others to lead the army to Penggu County as the starting point, began to quell the White Lotus Rebellion in various places.

The White Lotus lost 60,000 elite soldiers in one day, and it seems that the other party dare not make any unusual moves in the near future.

Because of this.

Lin Chen needs to hurry up to train his troops.

These White Lotus Rebellion troops that are wreaking havoc in the countryside have become the best training targets.

At the same time.

The news that Lin Chen led the army to wipe out 60,000 White Lotus Rebellion troops spread like wind in the capital.

It's only been a few days? !

Especially after the White Lotus captives and the flags of their heads were sent to the capital as a gift.

No one doubted that this was Lin Chen's false report of military exploits.

The people of the capital, who were originally uneasy because of the White Lotus's great power, were relieved immediately.

"With General Lin here, the White Lotus thieves are just autumn cicadas, and they won't be able to jump for a few days."

Crack!

The precious official kiln porcelain was smashed to the ground by Zhao Guangyi.

"Waste, this bunch of waste from the White Lotus! "

He never thought that he had secretly given the White Lotus Sect so much support, weapons, food, and even detailed information about Lin Chen's army.

Even so.

The 60,000 elite soldiers gathered by the White Lotus Sect were all swallowed up by Lin Chen!

It's an overestimation to say that these guys are trash.

The black-robed man kneeling on the ground trembled and could only let Zhao Guangyi calm down.

"Zhao Erlang, my leader doesn't know what's going on."

Zhao Guangyi was so angry that he laughed when he heard it.

The army was destroyed, and you don't even know why it was gone?!

The black-robed man was hesitant to speak when he saw this.

"Speak!"

"My leader has a handwritten letter to Zhao Shangshu."

Zhao Guangyi was unhappy when he heard it.

"Can't you give it to someone?"

"This..." The black-robed man hesitated.

"My brother has gone to court, you wait! "

Seeing that the other party refused to give in, Zhao Guangyi turned away with a dark face.

It seems that everyone only knows his elder brother Zhao Kuangyin.

When talking about Zhao Guangyi, they will only say that he is Zhao Kuangyin's second brother.

Thinking of this, Zhao Guangyi clenched his fists.

In the court.

Many ministers have different expressions.

From the looks of these people, it is enough to tell which faction they belong to.

For example, most of the ministers of Zhao Kuangyin's faction are forcing smiles.

The ministers of Heshen's faction are just watching the fun.

A few ministers of other factions, or the Qingliu, are excited.

Indeed.

It is a good thing for them that Lin Chen can fight.

Even Li Zhao's face has a hint of joy.

"Mr. Zhao, in your opinion, is this battle report credible?"

Li Zhao's eyes fell on Zhao Kuangyin.

The latter bowed his head and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, General Lin is a rare general, and I am not as good as him. This battle report is credible!"

Nonsense.

Those captives also have flags, so there is no basis for any suspicion.

"Hahaha!" Li Zhao laughed heartily upon hearing this.

As an emperor, he should not show his emotions.

However, Li Zhao was very angry during this period, and he had been suffering from unbearable pain in his lower abdomen these two days.

All of these made Li Zhao unable to help but come forward to criticize Zhao Kuangyin at this time.

"In this case, Lin Chenjia and his soldiers should be rewarded!"

"Pass on my order!"

"Lin Chenjia is promoted to the position of Imperial Envoy for Suppressing the Rebellion and General for Suppressing Rebellion, and is awarded the Emperor's Sword. Officials in various prefectures and cities in the capital should fully cooperate."

"Yes!"

At this moment, anyone with a keen eye would not jump out to disobey Li Zhao's intention.

Zhao Kuangyin lowered his head, and his dark face became more and more solemn.

Who would have thought that a fledgling commander of the Five Cities Military Command would actually have the talent of Han and Zhang!
