Chapter 44 The Identity of the Black Robe Monk

Just then.

The secret door on the right side of the secret room was opened, and a black-robed monk walked in.

The four masked black-robed monks stood up immediately upon seeing this, and one of them asked impatiently:

"How is it, did it succeed?"

In response to the question, the black-robed monk who came in shook his head and said in a solemn voice:

"They entered the county governor's mansion for less than an incense stick of time, and the life jade slips were all broken."

"What!"

The four masked black-robed monks who heard the news couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Are you sure their life jade slips are all broken?"

"Absolutely true, one of the life jade slips was broken first, and the other eleven were broken at the same time."

When the black-robed monk who came in said this, his voice trembled slightly, and the fear in his tone could not be concealed at all.

The four masked black-robed monks who were waiting here took a breath again when they heard the words.

"How is this possible..."

Just when they were extremely horrified, the black-robed monk who came in once again said a piece of news that made them unable to remain calm.

"And... and there is something very strange." The black-robed monk who came in swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice: "There has been no movement in the county governor's mansion from beginning to end."

"After our people went in, they were like a drop in the ocean. They died without causing any waves."

Hiss!

The four masked black-robed monks who were already extremely shocked all took a breath of cold air at this moment, and their fists were tightly clenched together because of shock.

This news was completely beyond their expectations.

They guessed that the mission might fail, and they also guessed that the dead men sent out might be lost.

But this result was something they never expected.

At this moment, the hearts of the five black-robed monks in the secret room were all shrouded in depression and fear.

After a long while, one of the masked black-robed monks slammed on the table with a bang.

"Damn... Damn..."

"That waste has already set his sights on us. If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow night will be a Hongmen Banquet for us!"

After saying this with gritted teeth, he pulled off the mask on his face in great anger.

This person was Li Tianxiong, the head of the Li family.

Li Tianxiong looked ferocious at this moment, his eyes were full of bloodshot, and the murderous intent and hatred in his eyes seemed to be escaping.

Seeing Li Tianxiong's face revealed directly, the other three black-robed monks who had gathered here were also helpless.

The next moment, two of the black-robed monks also took off their masks.

And these two people were Sun Shenghu, the head of the Sun family, and Zhao Tiansheng, the head of the Zhao family.

As for the last masked black-robed monk, he did not take it off

Looking at Li Tianxiong, who looked ferocious, Zhao Tiansheng looked at the one who did not take it off

"Since the mission tonight has failed, let's get ready and start the plan over there tomorrow night..."

Neither Li Tianxiong nor Sun Shenghu said anything about Zhao Tiansheng's arrangement.

After Zhao Tiansheng finished speaking, he did not take off

Then he left from the secret door on the right without saying a word, and the black-robed monk who had just entered followed him.

After the two men left, Li Tianxiong looked at Sun Shenghu and Zhao Tiansheng, and said coldly:

"The plan has been launched, no one can escape unscathed. If anyone dares to inform that loser, don't blame me, Li Tianxiong, for turning into a mad dog."

After the words fell, Li Tianxiong picked up the mask on the table and turned away.

The remaining Sun Shenghu and Zhao Tiansheng looked at each other, nodded, and turned around and left through different secret doors.

...

"Greetings, lord!"

In the front hall of the county governor's mansion, Jiang Shang bowed to Lu Fan with Li Si with a smile on his face.

"No need to be polite, please sit down!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

After the two of them sat down, Lu Fan looked at Jiang Shang and smiled, "Ziya, how are Shubao and the others settled?"

"My lord, Shubao has taken over General Miao Huai's position as the garrison commander of Hanyang City and is reorganizing the city guards.

Gong Ran and Ji Quan temporarily serve as deputy generals of the city defense to assist Shubao in guarding the city..."

In addition to settling Qin Qiong, Luo Cheng and Xiahou Wei, the original members of the County Governor's Mansion were also brought back by Jiang Shang one after another.

Because the two county governors died suddenly in the County Governor's Mansion, the County Governor's Mansion was considered an ominous place.

The original members of the County Governor's Mansion either resigned and went home, pretended to be sick and stayed in bed, or simply hid away.

This resulted in the County Governor's Mansion existing in name only, and Hanyang City and even the entire Hanyang County were basically in a state of no one managing it.

Fortunately, there are 300,000 Zhenbei troops guarding the northern border, and there are four major families in Hanyang City that govern their respective areas.

So even if there is no one managing it, there is no chaos in the vast northern border.

However, now that Lu Fan, the new county governor, has arrived, this situation naturally cannot continue.

Listening to Jiang Shang's detailed report, Lu Fan suddenly felt embarrassed.

After all, these things should be arranged and done by himself, the county governor.

But he didn't even think of these things, and didn't even know them.

"Ziya, thank you for your hard work!"

"My lord, you are too kind. It is my honor to share your worries and solve your problems."

The memory implanted in him by the system is that he is a genius with unparalleled strategies, but he has always been unappreciated.

A few years ago, he got the promise of the prince Lu Fan that he would find him in person in the future and let him become the prince's staff.

Therefore, when Lu Fan came to Hanyang City to find him and invited him to be the county magistrate, his gratitude was beyond words.

Lu Fan was also very emotional at this moment: "It feels so damn good to cheat..."

At this moment, he was full of confidence in himself.

With such an incomparable golden finger system, if he still can't step into that position, then he can really commit suicide.

With a sigh, Lu Fan seemed to think of something, and looked at Jiang Shang curiously.

"Ziya, Shubao, Gongran and Jiquan have made arrangements, why Jingsi..."

"Hehe, lord, the small Hanyang City can accommodate three peerless warriors, Shubao, Gongran and Jiquan at the same time, which is already a great waste of talent.

Jingsi, a warrior who can defeat thousands of enemies, naturally has to be placed in the military camp.

In addition, Shubao and the other two are temporarily arranged in this way. They will also enter the army in the future."

Looking at Jiang Shang with a smile on his face, Lu Fan was shocked and nodded heavily.

Any conspiracy is false in the face of absolute power.

Controlling Hanyang City is nothing, and the 300,000 Zhenbei Army is the real treasure.

Just as Lu Fan was thinking about this, footsteps were heard outside, and Zhang Qi walked in quickly and knelt on one knee.

"Your Highness, General Miao Huai wants to see you!"

Hearing Miao Huai coming to pay his respects, Lu Fan raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Shang and said:

"Let him in."

"Yes!"

Zhang Qi took the order and left, while Lu Fan was curious and wondered if Miao Huai came to complain to him.

After all, the position of Hanyang City Defender was replaced by Qin Qiong by Jiang Shang, and normal people would have complaints.

While thinking, Zhang Qi, who had just left, walked in quickly with Miao Huai in armor...
