Chapter 1258 Tucun
What Shen Hao defended was the evil cultivator jumping over the wall and going crazy. He dared to dig a hole outside the city to set up an ambush for him before, but now there are so many cases of evil spirits everywhere, no one knows whether the evil monks will become crazier in the long run.
And Shen Hao also knew that he must be the first name in the list of must-kills in the small book of evil monks. He himself is not afraid, but the women in the family have to be more careful.
As for those "relatives" in Xinliang City, Shen Hao should just forget about it.
Early the next morning, as soon as Shen Hao arrived at the gate of the yamen, he saw Wang Yiming guarding there with a copper bar.
"My lord, this is the note sent by the commander's yamen half an hour ago. You are asked to go there immediately." Wang Yiming hurriedly reported as he handed over the copper bar.
After checking the contents of the copper bar, Shen Hao didn't dare to delay, turned around and got on the carriage again, turned his head and headed towards the teleportation circle, and arrived at the Imperial City Commander's Yamen just after midnight.
"Master Shen, please follow me. The Commander asked you to go to the conference hall to wait. There will be a temporary briefing later. Your Excellency will let you attend as a non-voting attendee."
"Report? What title?" Shen Hao was already very familiar with Pang Ban's adjutant in front of him. Sometimes at noon, they would sit in the canteen and chat with each other at the Commander's Yamen, so they walked while walking. I'm also polite to inquire about the news directly. He came in a hurry, and the copper bar only told him to come quickly, without mentioning what he was coming for.
Besides, what kind of conference requires him to attend?
"Last night, a village in Puwang, Jingdong was massacred, more than half of which were distant relatives of the royal family, and two of them were distant elders of His Majesty. A letter was sent to His Majesty overnight by the Royal Ancestral Temple. His Majesty was furious. I called the commanding officer into the palace. This meeting was arranged by my lord before entering the palace, and I specially invited you to attend."
The ancestors of the Yang family of the royal family were originally from Jingdong, and later went to Jingxi. After becoming the royal family, they moved to Jingzhong in a large scale, but some distant families still stayed in Jingxi and Jingdong. Although these people can be related to the royal family in blood, they are actually not much different from ordinary people, except that they can receive condolences from the royal family during festivals, get more rice oil, and their children have certain opportunities to enter school. take care of.
But no matter how distant relatives are relatives, they are also family members, so usually no one wants to mess with these distant relatives of the royal family, which also causes these people to form villages and towns, and generally rarely deal with people with foreign surnames, living in a relatively closed life.
Shen Hao met these people a few times when he was working in Jingxi, and he felt good about it, that is, his words were just a little arrogant, and if he really said it, it would make people dislike it, but it wouldn't be too much.
It's just that I didn't expect to say hello to my family members yesterday. Be careful recently, and at the same time, a distant village in the royal family was slaughtered.
This also shows that these people are capable. Usually, let alone a village being slaughtered, it would reach the emperor immediately, even a town would not be so fast.
After giving Shen Hao a thorough explanation, the adjutant didn't say any more, and led Shen Hao into the conference hall to sit down and then left. He looked in a hurry and probably had to wait for the news of Pang Ban's return.
Shen Hao was sitting at the bottom right of the meeting room, and there were already two people sitting there when he came. The governor of Jingnan and Jingdong. Not long after, Jiang Cheng, the Governor of Jingxi, also arrived, greeted Shen Hao, and sat not far from Shen Hao, and did not talk much about the situation. The last one was also a familiar face.
Several people present greeted each other, calling the person who came in last "Master Liu". It was Liu Yang who was about the personnel affairs in Jingbei in the news reported by Wang Jian yesterday.
It seems that Pang Ban is releasing information to various places, allowing Liu Yang to take the opportunity to make an early public appearance.
Shen Hao sat the farthest, and the other four sat in a square, neither too close nor too far away from each other, and although they didn't chat a few words, it could be seen that the relationship between them was okay. Especially Jiang Cheng, who had a few gossips with everyone here, and everyone responded to him with a smile.
Shen Hao admired this aspect. But at this time, he and Jiang Cheng had already started to have different choices. To put it simply, Jiang Cheng is still the same Jiang Cheng as before, and Shen Hao is no longer the same Shen Hao as before. Standing at different heights, the eyes see and want things will be different.
It was almost noon when Pang Ban walked in quickly from outside the conference hall with a livid face. From this expression, it could be seen that he should have died in front of the emperor.
"A village was slaughtered by evil spirits. There are a total of 107 people, old and young. None of them survived. Ninety percent of these people are distant relatives of the royal family. Their heads were chopped off and hung on two big trees in the middle of the village. It was a set of Xuanqingwei's robes.
Zhang Tieyun, what are you going to say about what happened at your stall? "
Zhang Tieyun, governor of Jingdong Township. When Shen Hao came in before, he found that the face of Zhang Zhen Fu envoy was full of depression, even when he greeted other people, he smiled reluctantly. He should also know that he was involved in today's interim briefing. After all, the distant relatives of the royal family in that village died on the territory of Jingdong, and Xuan Qingwei's job was to defend and kill evil spirits. No matter which direction you look at this matter, Zhang Tieyun bears the brunt of it.
"Subordinates are negligent, please be punished by adults!" Zhang Tieyun also simply admitted it without making any excuses to shirk responsibility. Anyway, I have to take the blame, so it's better to be a bachelor.
Sure enough, Pang Ban did not hold on to this matter. And this moment is not the time for accountability, even if you want to be accountable, you have to wait for the matter to have a preliminary result.
So Pang Ban continued: "Although the distant relatives of the royal family did not enjoy the support of the royal family land, they were all placed in livable places. Now these places may also be slaughtered. Is there still a safe place in the world? You usually It is said that you are monitoring the world, punishing the evil and supporting the Tao, but now that the evil spirits are in power and rampant to such an extent, what face do you have to say that you monitor the world, punishing the evil and supporting the Tao?
Some time ago, Xuanqingwei and Heiqiying all over the country reported that the number of cases of evil spirit attacks has increased sharply, and it has occurred in some big cities. You should be vigilant, but there are still many loopholes, and as a result, you stabbed His Majesty with one shot. "
Pang Ban usually looks calm and relaxed, but at this moment, his whole body is terribly gloomy. The aura emanating from it makes people dare not look directly at him, like being stared at by a ferocious beast, with the hair on his back standing upside down.
"My lord, the evil spirit is erratic, and this time it should not be a coincidence, but a deliberate revenge by the evil cultivator, as well as the village of the distant relatives of the royal family last night. In the end, Xuan Qingwei's robe was left under the head tree. This is even more annoying to us. name." Jiang Cheng stood up at this time, and directly expanded the case with his words, and pointed it out, bluntly saying that this was the evil cultivator's revenge against Xuan Qingwei, and it was planned. In other words, this situation is indeed difficult to guard against. Of course, what was said was the truth, but it did help Zhang Tieyun, who was kneeling on the ground, to excuse a lot of responsibility.
