Chapter 48 Transition
The entire jailbreak process was very quick.
It took less than five minutes from start to finish, but the thrill of racing against time still makes people feel scared even after the fact.
Cao Jinxing severely injured the two men, and immediately the jailers came over with shackles and harpoon hooks, locked them up, and sent them to the cell.
Such a big commotion here naturally alarmed the Pacification Office. However, by the time they arrived with a large group of people, the matter had already been settled.
Not only did the Left Protector of Light fail to get out, but there was also a Dharma King. There would be no [Red Dragon] that could stop the mechanism anymore. The two of them would definitely stay in the Imperial Prison until they died!
Robbing the imperial prison is a major case.
As soon as this matter was settled, two captains came to temporarily replace the guard and said that Liu Zhenyuan asked them to go to the Zhenfu Division.
Now that the organization has returned to normal, the remaining people are left to handle the follow-up. Shen Xiang and Cao Jinxing went to the Pacification Office.
Liu Zhenyuan stood with his hands behind his back, waiting in the inner hall.
The two saluted.
Shen Xiang told him the details, including the course of the battle, and praised Cao Jinxing for his ability to adapt to the enemy's circumstances.
"If it weren't for Jin Xing's quick reaction and the rapid sealing of the [Cai Zi Luo Yan Miasma], these thieves might have succeeded. This time, it's all thanks to him."
"Alright, alright."
Liu Zhenyuan interrupted him, glanced at Cao Jinxing, and said unhappily: "Don't praise me, I know this kid's ability very well! He caused me a lot of trouble yesterday... Mingzong planned this prison break very carefully, not only bribed Tian Jinghu, but also harmed Jiang Aqi, alas."
Liu Zhenyuan sighed.
Coercion and inducement are the methods that the Demon Cult is best at. As long as someone is greedy, this tactic will always work.
Shen Xiang said: "Brother, Tian Jinghu mentioned the word 'Zhao Family' before he died. I think it should be the same as Zhao Siyuan..."
He turned around and looked at Cao Jinxing.
There must be something directed at him here.
"It's no use."
Liu Zhenyuan understood what he meant and said, "Unless Tie Xiongshi testifies, he won't say anything because of his position. Even if he does, the most important witness Tian Jinghu is dead and there is no evidence to prove his wrongdoing! The Zhao family is slandering us and this matter is not easy to handle. Moreover, this is related to Zhao Wenhua, the adopted son of Lord Yan. We have no evidence and it is not easy to detain him directly... However, if they just let him go, they are underestimating our Zhenfu Division!"
Liu Zhenyuan's eyes were filled with thunder: "Report to the higher-ups, those guys in the East Factory are idle all day long, find them something to do!"
Now under Jiajing's command, Lu Fu is the chief steward of the Imperial Palace, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department, and the supervisor of the Eastern Depot; Lu Bing is the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, commanding the emperor's personal army.
These two people were loyal and dedicated to working for Jiajing. They had a harmonious relationship with each other, and their superiors set an example for their subordinates, which also made the two forces, the East Factory and the Pacification Office, work together.
The Eastern Depot was mainly responsible for supervising all officials, while the Embroidered Uniform Guard was responsible for military and political intelligence , one was responsible for internal affairs and the other for external affairs.
They all served the emperor and were as close as a family.
Someone is trying to make their good brother suffer in silence, but the people from the East Factory will not just sit there and watch.
The Dongchang spies were on duty to gather intelligence, and there were two types of spies: open spies and secret spies.
It is easy to understand what a spy is. It means someone who stalks secretly like a poisonous snake.
An open spy will tell you openly that I am spying on you, and will even go to the other party's house to ask questions. The officials dare not refuse to answer and have no choice but to grievances.
Shen Xiang understood immediately and said with a smile, "Great! The Zhao family is not clean, and with the East Factory's intervention, they are going to be in big trouble."
If the East Factory keeps an eye on them, they may find something wrong even if there is nothing wrong, let alone families like the Zhao family who are already in trouble. As long as they get evidence, all the old and new accounts will be settled together!
Aren't you dead without any evidence?
Then we will start with other cases, arrest you first, then investigate thoroughly, punish you severely, and then you will confess!
Cao Jinxing looked at this scene with a strange expression: Why does it feel like they are the villain camp?
Liu Zhenyuan said, "The Imperial Prison is a confidential place of the Jinyiwei. You two have made great contributions in defense, captured the Ape King, and weakened Emperor Mingzong. It's a great achievement. I have to think about how to reward you."
Shen Xiang smiled and said , "I am just assisting. Besides, I don't lack anything. It is Jin Xing who is in need of resources. Big brother, give it to him."
Cao Jinxing opened his mouth and was about to speak.
"good."
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhenyuan had already agreed. He stretched out his hand backwards, and a long wooden box opened, and an embroidered spring knife flew out of it.
The scabbard of this sword is gorgeous and the handle is inlaid with gems. It is obvious at first glance that it is not comparable to the ordinary iron one before.
"Cao Jinxing, take the knife."
Liu Zhenyuan held the knife horizontally in one hand.
When Cao Jinxing saw that it didn't seem to be an ordinary thing, he bent down and stretched out his hands to take it.
"In the thirteenth year of the Jiajing reign, a meteorite fell into the Western Mountains. After being melted and forged by top casters with Western refined gold, thirteen Embroidered Spring Swords were made! This sword is the thirteenth one. From today on, it will be yours to wear."
Liu Zhenyuan placed the knife with great care in Cao Jinxing's hand.
Thirteen...
Thirteen……
Cao Jinxing was shocked.
Is this to let him take over as the Thirteenth Guardian?
"Sir, this..."
Cao Jinxing hesitated: "Is this not appropriate?"
"Don't worry."
Liu Zhenyuan saw what he was thinking and said, "I'm only giving it to you temporarily to prevent it from getting dusty. As for how it will turn out in the future, it all depends on your performance. Your experience is really too shallow."
He can't be promoted even if he wants to.
Fortunately, there is still a long way to go.
Cao Jinxing nodded. As long as it complies with the regulations, it will be fine. Otherwise, it will be too hot to handle. "Thank you very much, sir."
Liu Zhenyuan nodded: "Go back, the Imperial Prison still has a lot of things to deal with."
"yes."
Cao Jinxing clasped his fists and said, "I will take my leave."
Wait for him to leave.
Shen Xiang smiled and said, "I also have to write a document to the commander, so that I can take the stage as soon as I am noticed. The position of Thirteen has been vacant for too long..."
Shen Xiang has a special identity and is also responsible for screening candidates.
Speaking of Thirteen, both of them felt a little depressed - he was surrounded and killed by the Golden Family in Mongolia, died heroically in battle, and his body was never found!
"Those damned Tartars!"
Liu Zhenyuan clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot: "Sooner or later, I will make Altan Khan pay for his blood debt with blood!"
…
Swish!
After leaving the inner hall, Cao Jinxing drew his sword and took a look.
A green light shot out, chilling to the bone. When the blade was unsheathed, the cold light flickered unsteadily, and the sword energy was chilling and imminent.
Good knife!
Cao Jinxing showed his delight. What was even more amazing was its symbolic meaning. It was more powerful than the sword itself and could save a lot of trouble.
Just for this reason, even though it was a bit troublesome to put the sword and the pistol together, he was not going to put it in the box to gather dust.
Return to the imperial prison.
It's very busy.
This prison break was not for killing. Tie Xiongshi used his superb lightness skill to go straight down three floors. The jailers on the first two floors were not seriously injured, but the jailers on the two floors were seriously injured.
When Cao Jinxing returned, the imperial physician was treating him.
Sun Lang and Su Yunsheng were also injured, one with a head injury and the other with a broken sternum, both from being blocked by Tie Xiongshi when he was trying to escape.
At this time, he applied medicine and sat aside to practice qigong to heal his wounds.
The two thousand households were in charge and were very experienced in handling the aftermath, so everything went smoothly...
