    One hundred and fifty-one supernatural

    Meng Ju hurriedly followed Bai Wusha back, and there was also a panic in the pavilion.  At first, Meng Ju thought that the assassins had repented and turned around to assassinate again. However, upon closer inspection, something was wrong: the emperor was still sitting peacefully in the middle, and there was no fighting around him.

    Bai Wusha hurried over and shouted: "Your Majesty, I am here to protect you!"

    Emperor Jingmu was very happy: "Bai Qing, come up and sit with me. It seems that some prostitutes have sneaked in and want to do me harm?"

    "Your Majesty, don't worry. The Governor Meng here is brave enough to be invincible. With him here, Your Majesty's safety is guaranteed to be safe - Meng Ju, you stay below and don't let anyone who is wrong come near."

    Bai Wusha went up to the pavilion, while Meng Juze stayed below. He looked around, but there was no sign of the assassin. He was wondering: What was the warning just now?

    After a while, the guards in red came shouting from all over the imperial garden and surrounded the pavilion where the emperor sat on three floors inside and three floors outside, making it impossible for anyone to get through.  The guards were all trying their best to squeeze in front of the emperor. Meng Ju didn't know what happened, but he was suddenly and inexplicably squeezed to the outer circle.

    "Where is the assassin? Where is the assassin?"

    The guards asked each other, everyone was confused.

    After a while, another guard ran over and shouted: "Everyone, be careful! Several eunuchs have been killed, and they have all been stripped of their clothes! Be careful, assassins will come in disguised as eunuchs!"

    There was another commotion in the crowd, and the guards turned their vigilant eyes to the eunuchs - the eunuchs close to the emperor would be fine, but the low-level servants were unlucky, and were pushed to the outer circle to act as human shields.

    Meng Ju is the only one who understands the truth. Standing among a large group of "big inner masters" wielding guns and knives, he is the only one with empty hands, which feels funny and embarrassing.

    Seeing the fuss made by the guards, Meng Ju thought they were making a fuss at first, but then he suddenly realized: If he doesn't pretend to be loyal now, how long will it take?  He suddenly jumped out from the crowd and stood at the front of the crowd with his bare hands, head held high, and a brave posture that was willing to use his chest to resist the sword for His Majesty.

    I wonder if Emperor Jingmu behind him saw his pretentiousness, but the guards present could see it clearly.

    All the guards stared at him with jealousy, and their hateful eyes clearly said: "You are already a high-ranking official in the imperial court, and you still come to compete with us for your job. It is really unethical."

    After struggling like this for a while, the Yulin Army from the periphery arrived and set up a circle of protection around the perimeter. A member of the Yulin Army was on hand to give orders, and the order returned to normal.

    Seeing that the emperor's safety was no longer in question, Bai Wusha took his leave and retreated with Meng Ju.

    After all this tossing, Bai Wusha was also a little tired.  On the way home, he sighed in the carriage: "This is such an eventful time. It was me who was in trouble two days ago, and today it's your Majesty's turn."

    "Master, it's really strange to say that it's so strict. How could assassins get in under such a strict palace? How did they get out? It's unbelievable even when I think about it."

    "It looks very strict, but in fact the palace city may not be so impenetrable. Eunuchs and palace maids have their own small entrances and exits. The inspection there is not very strict, and it is not difficult to sneak in a few people - the assassin sneaked into the back garden to kill, Yu  Lin Town General Tang Yao is probably in a lot of trouble this time. I hope he can resolve the matter as soon as possible, otherwise this trouble will most likely be handed over to our Lingwei again. This kind of case is neither trivial nor serious, and there is no clue.  It¡¯s tricky!¡±

    ¡°Maybe because Meng Ju has surrendered to him and everyone is one of his own, Bai Wusha seemed very frank in his words.  He sighed: "Even if you want to usurp the throne, you have to abide by the rules. It's too childish to just spend a few taels of silver on the street to recruit a few thugs and then dare to assassinate the emperor. If everyone follows suit, the capital will not be in chaos?"

    Even if you want to usurp the throne, you must abide by the rules - Meng Ju wanted to laugh a little, and he asked: "Zongzhen, then who did this?"

    Bai Wusha shook his head: "No one has been caught yet, God knows." But looking at his eyes, Meng Ju knew that he should know some inside information.

    The carriage took them back to the headquarters. Bai Wusha got off the carriage. Meng Ju wanted to follow, but Bai Wusha stopped him: "You don't have to get off the carriage. Let the carriage take you back to your residence."

    "Ah, this is your carriage from the main town. How dare you take a humble position?"

    "You're welcome. Before you go back to Dongping, go to the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, Ministry of War, Ministry of Household Affairs and other yamen. You don't have to do anything serious. You just want to get familiar with the people there. It will be easier for you to do things in the future - the Minister and the Minister.  If you are a senior, you don¡¯t have to worry about it. The people you want to make friends with are the Yuanwailang and the chief of each department.You need to make friends with officials like Shi and Lingshi.  Their official positions are not high, but they are very effective.  "

    Seeing Meng Ju's expression of embarrassment, Bai Wusha smiled and said, "I will arrange for someone to take you there then, and he will give you pointers - you don't have to worry about spending money, it's just a greeting, let's get to know each other."  , hosting a few banquets and entertainment shouldn¡¯t cost much money, the General Administration will help you out.¡±

    Meng Ju was a little moved.  He didn't know whether Bai Wusha would be so careful in giving instructions to other town governors before they took office, but the General Administration paid for and hired people to help a new town governor build relationships. This kind of special care was definitely not something that every town governor could receive.  Enjoy.

    He didn¡¯t know what to say, so he could only say something very cheesy: ¡°Thank you, Chief Town.¡±

    Bai Wusha looked deeply at Meng Ju. At this moment, in the eyes of this brooding middle-aged man, Meng Ju actually saw a trace of kindness and warmth.  He looked at Meng Ju like a close elder looking at a junior, with warmth and expectation in his eyes.

    He didn¡¯t say anything, he just patted Meng Ju on the shoulder, nodded, turned around and walked towards the official office.

    Looking at Bai Wusha¡¯s heavy and desolate shoulders, Meng Ju felt a little emotional.

    Today's surrender to Bai Wusha may seem sudden, but it is actually Meng Ju's sincerity - of course, this "sincerity" does not include Southern Tang.

    After Ye Canan¡¯s ¡°death¡±, many people extended an olive branch to Meng Ju and tried to recruit him to their banner.  There was the royal family member Yuan Yikang, the powerful Ye Jianxin, and the ambitious Murong family¡ªbut in the end, he chose Bai Wusha.

    Although Bai Wusha has great power, in terms of status, he is the most vulnerable among these people.  Although he has power over the whole government, his power comes from the trust of Emperor Jingmu - that is to say, once the emperor does not trust him, or the emperor dies, in an instant, everything he has will be lost.  Vanished.

    On the contrary, whether it is the Ye family or the Murong family, they all have their own independent power.  No matter who becomes the emperor, it will not have much influence on them.  From a long-term and stable perspective, it is actually the most appropriate to fall into the arms of the Ye family. Moreover, we are all Chinese, and he is Ye Canaan's father, so there is no such emotional conflict.

    But unfortunately, the fate between people is really mysterious. No matter how he looked at it, Meng Ju felt that Ye Jianxin was not pleasing to his eye, but he was very fond of Bai Wusha. Although Bai Wusha threw himself into a black jail as soon as he met Bai Wusha, Meng Ju felt that Ye Jianxin was not pleasing to the eye.  There is not much resentment in Ju.

    There is something attractive about this frail General Guard of Dongling, which makes people feel comfortable getting along with him and serve him willingly.  Working with him gave me a very solid and secure feeling - Meng Ju felt that this was probably the so-called "kingly spirit".

    There are rumors that Bai Wusha was born into a poor family. Before he took refuge with Emperor Jingmu, he was a teacher in a private school in the countryside. He was so poor that he could not afford to eat every meal.  If this rumor is true, Bai Wusha is really powerful from a country scholar to today - at least much more powerful than Ye Jianxin, who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth.

    Meng Ju returned to his house. As soon as he entered the door, Uncle Zhong reported that someone came to see him and had been waiting in the waiting room for a long time.

    Meng Ju went into the meeting room and saw that the person coming was none other than Lu Liulou.  He was very happy: "Sixth floor, you are here! Haha, why haven't I seen you in a while?"

    We haven¡¯t seen him for more than ten days. Lu Liulou¡¯s face is pale and haggard, but the smile on his face is one of sincere joy.

    He knelt down on one knee and saluted, and presented a box with both hands: "Congratulations, sir! The people from the General Administration came to find us over there and said that you have become the governor of Dongping. This is your letter of resignation and appointment. I am humbled by the post.  You brought it, my lord.¡±

    "It's the town governor Tongzhi, sixth floor, not the town governor! Sixth floor, there's no need to be so polite between us, get up quickly."

    Meng Ju took the official document and helped Lu Liulou to sit down on the chair.  Lu Liulou staggered a little as he walked.

    Meng Ju noticed it immediately and said in surprise: "Sixth floor, are you injured? Ah, and you look so bad? What's going on?"

    "It's not a big deal, just let it go."

    Meng Ju's expression became stern: "Sixth floor, tell me what's going on! After all, we are also Lingwei officers. We don't bully others, but we can't let others bully us! How dare someone hurt you? Tell me  , if I can¡¯t handle it, just tell Mr. Bai that I will help you find justice no matter what.¡±

    Lu Liulou smiled bitterly: "Sir, I'm afraid we won't be able to get this justice back - it was the people from the General Administration's Internal Affairs Bureau who tortured us."

    "Ah?" Meng Ju suddenly stood up: "Tell me, what's going on!"

    Lu Liulou hesitantly told Meng Ju that he was passing by.While Meng Ju was being detained, they were also arrested by the Internal Intelligence Agency and tortured. Speaking of this, Lu Liulou lowered his head in shame: "Well, sir, I can't stand the torture of this humble position.  I just followed their tone and made random remarks, I¡¯m really sorry for you, sir.¡±

    Meng Ju understood very well. He said: "Don't worry about this kind of thing. I almost hired him if the Intelligence Agency did it like that, let alone you. What happened next?"

    "We didn't know what was going on, and then the Intelligence Agency released us out of nowhere, saying it was a mistake or a misunderstanding. They also apologized, paid for medical expenses and found a doctor to treat our injuries. We  We stayed back at the Luojing Mausoleum Office building, until someone from the General Office came to see us two days ago. We were all frightened, thinking that there might be another 'misunderstanding'?

    Fortunately, they were very polite this time, saying that your Excellency has been promoted to the Governor of Dongping, and they would like to send you the letter of appointment and personal information.  Since he was good at making opinions due to his humble position, he took all the official documents.  Later, I inquired with my colleagues in the Luojing Administration Bureau, and found out that you have been living in the General Administration Bureau, and you just came to congratulate me today.  "

    Meng Ju couldn't help but feel ashamed.  I was lamenting in sorrow at the General Administration, but I completely forgot that my subordinates were still suffering outside. They suffered for me, but I didn't even offer condolences. It was so heartless and unjust¡ª¡ª  However, the key point is that he did not expect that Xiao Rufeng would be so ruthless in what he did, not only catching himself, but also his followers.  If Lu Liulou hadn't come to visit him, he would have thought that they were enjoying happiness in Luo Jing's colorful world.

    He said guiltily: "I'm here at the General Administration and I never knew about this. It's all my fault and it's causing trouble for everyone."

    "Sir, please don't say that. Everyone knows that you were wronged too. Fortunately, the General Administration was wise and cleared you, sir, and promoted you. So what does it matter if we suffer a little."

    Meng Ju sighed, and he thought to himself that after returning, he would promote and re-employ the Lu Liulou group as compensation for them.

    The two chatted for a while, and Meng Ju saw that Lu Liulou seemed to have something he wanted to say but didn't dare to say it.  He took the initiative to ask him: "Sixth floor, do you want to say something?"

    Lu Liulou hesitated for a moment: "Sir, this is a bit strange. As a scholar, you may not believe these things But I think, sir, you have always been tolerant. Even if I say something wrong, can you forgive me?"

    "Yeah, that's all you say."

    "Yesterday, a woman came to Luojing Office to name you, sir, saying that she wanted to see Governor Meng of Dongping Province. I went out to see the doctor at that time, and several brothers received her. When I came back, the woman  He has already left. However, the few brothers who received him were so frightened that I couldn¡¯t believe what they said.¡±

    "Ah? What's going on?"

    "This is actually a bit weird. The brothers said that the woman looked exactly like Governor Ye Zhen when he was alive. Even her voice and tone were the same. She was definitely her! And she also claimed to be Ye Zhendu.  Ye Canaan from home said that she came to you for something, and asked you to go to her when you are free Well, anyway, several brothers were paralyzed with fear on the spot. Everyone said it in unison, so I couldn¡¯t help but not believe it."

    Taking a peek at Meng Ju's dazed face, Lu Liulou said cautiously: "Such a strange thing happened in broad daylight. I guess it was because Governor Ye was so unjust and so resentful that she was unwilling to accept it! You are her  The most trusted person, her heroic spirit is immortal, and she has come back to you again. I am afraid she still wants to ask you to avenge her, right?

    Sir, I have never read a book, so don¡¯t blame me if I say something wrong.  Well, although Governor Ye took great care of you during her lifetime, and you are very grateful to her, after all, there is a gap between yin and yang.  .  .  This kind.  .  .  It doesn't seem like a good thing to be stuck with something like this.

    There are some famous monasteries and Taoist temples near Luojing. Should we pay to invite a few virtuous masters or Taoist priests to come back and conduct two water and land rituals to resolve the grievances and allow her to ascend to heaven and reincarnate as soon as possible?  "
