Chapter 882 The Demon Sect Appears!
"Wen Ze, Wen Qian, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"My Lord, I am late, I am willing to go through fire and water for you!"
For some reason, Le Jin exuded a sense of heroic spirit, and was obviously ready to show his skills and establish achievements in this strange world, so he was quite excited.
On the other hand, Yu Jin was silent and gloomy, as if he had many things on his mind.
After a meeting, the two of them strode out of the hall together.
"Wen Ze, let's let the things of the past life go with the wind!"
"My lord has given us the opportunity to live again. Now, it is such an honor to shine in this strange world with the heroes of the ages."
Hearing Le Jin's consolation, Yu Jin also had a complicated expression, and laughed at himself: "Poor me, Yu Jin, who has been in the army for half of his life, and I can't keep my integrity in my later years!"
"It's all my own fault!"
"Forget it, let's not talk about the past!"
Yu Jin obviously didn't let go of the burden of his past life. Now he works with his colleagues in his past life, and his identity as a surrendered general may end with this life.
...
"My lord, the old patriarch of the Huang family wants to see you."
"Where is Huang Baichuan?"
Ning Fan looked at Dian Wei, who shook his head: "I haven't seen him."
"What a Huang family, what a Huang Jiushi!"
"Let him come in!"
"Yes!"
Not long after, Huang Jiushi strode in again, but he was holding a square box in his hand, which made everyone's eyes stay for a long time.
Ning Fan's eyes also stagnated slightly. In just half a day, Huang Jiushi seemed to have aged more than ten years. His eyes were dazed and his face was pale.
"I am here to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"No need to be polite!"
"I wonder why Mr. Huang came to see me again?"
"Your Highness, my son Huang Baichuan colluded with officials in Fengyang County, resold grain and grass, sold official funds, occupied water transportation, and controlled the grain road. His crimes are extremely serious!"
"I have ordered him to go to the government office to surrender!"
"My Huang family is a royal family and the mother's family of Empress Dowager Xiao'an. It can be said that we have been blessed by the emperor for generations!"
"Now that my descendants are unfilial, I am extremely ashamed. I am willing to offer the Huang family's property to fill the national treasury and atone for my sins!"
As he said this, Huang Jiushi pushed the wooden box in his hand forward and knelt deeply on the ground.
Ning Fan slowly stood up and said calmly: "The two counties in Jiangnan were hit by a locust plague, but because of your Huang family, the court was unable to provide disaster relief, and the people were displaced, hungry, and miserable!"
"The Huang family is extremely evil, and I didn't let the Jinyiwei come forward for the sake of Empress Dowager Xiaoan."
"However, Mr. Huang has sincerely repented today, and I will give you a chance!"
"Half of the Huang family's assets will be confiscated, and the other half will be distributed to the people of the two counties!"
"From now on, the Huang family will transport Huainan grain and grass for the court free of charge and hand over the coastal docks!"
"I will let you Huang family go!"
Hearing Ning Fan's words, Huang Jiushi was also stunned for a moment, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face: "I kowtow to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his mercy!"
"Don't do it again!"
Ning Fan waved his hand and signaled Huang Jiushi to leave.
This old guy is a smart man. If he is not summoned back to Beijing this time, Ning Fan really does not have the temper to judge the case of his Huang family. As for the face of Empress Dowager Xiaoan, if your Huang family does not give face, it is not convenient to consider the face of the Empress Dowager.
"My lord, I just got a piece of news!"
"Hmm?"
Looking at Jiang Lin's solemn face, Ning Fan also raised his eyebrows. Now is a time of trouble!
The military intelligence should be reported by Heibingtai, and since it was Jiang Lin who reported it, it was probably a matter of the rivers and lakes or a local disturbance.
"My lord, according to reliable intelligence, many disciples and masters of the Demon Sect have infiltrated our imperial capital."
"Disciples and followers from the three major immortal lands are also gathering, and I have not found any traces of these people."
"The Demon Sect?"
Ning Fan frowned even more tightly: "Didn't the Demon Sect show up in the Western Regions last time?"
"Why did they arrive in my Yuwang City today?"
"Why did they come?"
"How many troops are there and how strong are they?"
Jiang Li's face sank, and he knelt directly in front of Ning Fan and said: "My lord, my origin is unknown, the number of people is unknown, and my strength is unknown!"
"I am guilty, please punish me, my lord!"
"I deserve to be punished!"
A clear voice came from outside the hall, and Zhuge Liang strode into the hall and said unhappily: "The Jinyiwei monitors the world, but now they can't even defend the imperial capital."
"Sir Jiang, you, the commander of the Jinyiwei, are not just derelict in your duty!"
Jiang Li lowered his head and remained silent, but his face was a little ashamed.
Ning Fan looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise. This Sleeping Dragon rarely hit the officials directly like today. Besides, Jiang Li was directly under Ning Fan, and Zhuge Liang was not his superior.
Logically, Zhuge Liang should not have said this at this time.
"My Lord, I just received a message from my retainer that one of the five masters of the Demon Sect will fight with one of the three saints of Wangxian Tianque in my Yuwang City in seven days!"
"What!"
Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Ning Fan's face turned cold. He had never heard of the eight masters of the Demon Sect and the three saints of Wangxian.
But it was interesting to have a decisive battle in Yuwang City.
"It's so outrageous!"
"My Great Yu Imperial Capital is not a place where a mere lunatic can do whatever he wants?"
"My Lord, I beg you to flatten Wangxian Tianque and the Demon Sect!"
Dian Wei was full of murderous aura, and his momentum was several times stronger than before.
Obviously, since the emergence of the Human Emperor, the fortune of the entire Central Plains has risen rapidly, and the military generals have also been greatly nurtured by him, and their strength has improved rapidly.
Today, Dian Wei has already ranked among the top ranks and may become a legend at any time!
"No hurry!"
Ning Fan shook his head and looked at Jiang Li and said, "Collect information about the Demon Sect and Wangxian Tianque for me!"
"Yes!"
Jiang Li left quickly, but Zhuge Liang on the side said softly, "My lord, the Demon Sect has taken root for hundreds of years. I observed the sky at night. In the far west, the Demon Star bloomed, and it seemed that there were demons dancing wildly. It was obviously the place where the Demon Sect was entrenched."
"In recent years, a trace of imperial dragon energy has risen in the Western Regions, which is not much inferior to the Hu slaves. I am afraid that a king will enter the world!"
"Oh?"
Ning Fan's face became more and more serious. Could it be that there is also a man of destiny in the Western Regions?
Interesting!
Now, with more and more civil and military officials under his command, Ning Fan really feels bored. Dayan is no longer taken seriously by him, and the Western Regions and Hu Nu have appeared again.
Forget it, just push it flat!
"Kong Ming, the locust plague in the two places in Jiangnan needs to be dealt with."
"The Huang family will come forward, and the court will send another imperial envoy to the south."
"The matter of Donghuai entering Yu must also be widely spread to various countries within seven days!"
"Before the Western Expedition, I plan to completely incorporate Dongying into my Dayu's territory."
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, looked at Ning Fan and said: "My lord, I plan to let Dong Zhongshu go to Jiangnan in person!"
"Yes!"
