Chapter 12 Face to face [Thanks to the leader "Sixteenth Month-" for the reward! ]

Looking at this huge silver wall, even the most knowledgeable person would be shocked for a while.

Including Zhen Changzhi's son Zhen Xiaohao, he never knew about this. He only knew that he was a useless second-generation official, and he once complained that his father didn't know how to adapt. Other officials who didn't hold high positions like him could let their children live a life of luxury, but he was the only one who lived frugally and had to go to the same academy with ordinary people.

I never expected that my father was much more ruthless than those officials.

only……

Why didn't you say it earlier?
Good news, I found out that I am a rich second generation.

Bad news, that won’t be the case anytime soon.

Needless to say, all the hidden silver would be moved back to the treasury, and I wouldn't be able to spend a penny. If my father hadn't hidden it so deeply, I could still live like a young master for a few more years. Now I've been poor with my father for so many years, and now he's dead, and I have to bear such a big stain, and I won't be able to enter the court anymore...

These thoughts flooded into Zhen Xiaohao's mind. Looking at his father's body lying behind the silver wall, a hint of resentment unconsciously emerged in his eyes, replacing the original grief.

Not a single ounce of silver has been spent in all these years.

Hide, hide, hide.

Are you hiding my grandma?

Of course, no one cared about his feelings.

On one side of the silver wall, there is a pitch-black box with intricate array patterns painted on its surface. It looks like a magical tool that has been refined and is not easy to open.

Ling Yuanbao picked up the box and tried the copper key. Sure enough, it opened the lock on the box.

pat.

The box was opened, and there was only a yellowed book inside. She picked it up and flipped through it. From the words on it, it seemed to be an account book. She didn't read it for long, but locked the box again and held it in her hand.

"This is important evidence. I will take it back to the Ministry of Justice for investigation." She said to Hu Tiehan, and then looked at Liang Yue, "Thanks to you, today's discovery is very important."

"It is also to clear our own suspicion." Liang Yue said: "I hope the Ministry of Justice can solve the case as soon as possible and clear our brothers' names."

"We will try our best." Ling Yuanbao nodded heavily.

The look in her eyes when she looked at Liang Yue was not only approval but also gratitude.

The amount of stolen silver seized was so huge that it was probably more than what the Ministry of Justice had seized in the past year, not to mention the account book that obviously contained secrets. Even if the case was not solved, this achievement was enough to make her feel proud.

And all this is thanks to the guard in front of me.

After a brief thought, she said to Liang Yue, "Do you want to come work for our Ministry of Justice? With your intelligence and talent, I can guarantee that you will become a full-time constable within a year, and it should not be difficult to be promoted to the head constable in the future."

"what?"

Ling Yuanbao's words stunned all the Imperial Guards and the Ministry of Justice present.

The relationships between the various government offices in the imperial court were mixed, and poaching was not uncommon.

When they see that there are talented people they like in the other government office, they will use all kinds of means to win them over and use them for their own purposes. The means of winning them over are also varied.

It may be overt or covert, direct or obscure, perhaps with high positions and generous salaries, or with fine wine and beautiful women.

But there is absolutely no one like Ling Yuanbao...

Sister, are you digging in front of me?
Liang Yue looked at Old Hu next to him, whose face suddenly turned purple, and couldn't help but find it a little ridiculous. Who would change jobs in front of the other party's boss? What's the difference between this and the current crime committed by his husband?
Of course, it’s difficult for Lao Hu to talk at this time.

"Ahem." Liang Yue cleared his throat and quickly replied, "Thank you, Captain Ling, for your kindness. However, I have not yet completely cleared my suspicion, so it is not appropriate for me to join the Ministry of Justice. Besides, I have good acquaintances among my brothers in the Imperial Guards and my superiors value me, so I am quite comfortable. I will not consider other places for the time being."

"What a pity. It's a waste for a talent like you to be a guard here." Ling Yuanbao didn't seem to notice anything wrong and just sighed.

"Captain Ling, don't worry about this." Hu Tiehan pulled Liang Yue over and said as if defending his sovereignty, "Little Liang's promotion to the official guard is a foregone conclusion."

Ling Yuanbao was feeling a little disappointed when a head suddenly popped out from the side.

Chen Ju smiled flatteringly and said, "Captain Ling, I am willing to go to the Ministry of Justice. As long as I can be under your command, I would be willing to be a detective or even a spirit dog."

"Get lost." Ling Yuanbao didn't even blink.

"Eh."……

The troops of the Ministry of Justice pulled the carriage back, and the troops of the Imperial Guard also withdrew to their station. When the two teams parted, Ling Yuanbao shouted to Liang Yue: "I will settle the case as soon as possible. If you want a better future, come to the Ministry of Justice to find me at any time. I am very sincere."

It can be seen that she really recognizes Liang Yue's abilities.

However, Liang Yue could only smile awkwardly and replied, "Okay."

sister.

I feel your sincerity.

But I really can’t say much about your emotional intelligence.

Hu Tiehan said nothing about this, but just walked away with a stern face. On the one hand, the status of the Ministry of Justice was indeed higher than that of the Imperial Guards, and if the two sides had a conflict, they would suffer in the end; on the other hand, although Ling Yuanbao looked like a little silly girl, her fighting power was indeed amazing.

The battle-hardened Hu Tiehan didn't even need to fight. Just based on the way she kicked the wall, he could tell that this girl could easily take on all the people in his station alone.

There is a high probability of no injury.

So even though the other party was poaching him right in front of him and didn't treat him as a human being, he could only repeat to himself several times not to be angry and returned to the Fukangfang station in shame.

Fortunately, Liang Yue did not agree to the girl's request, which saved Hu Tiehan's little face.

After returning to the base, he immediately called out, "Xiao Liang, come here."

Liang Yue walked in and asked, "Brother Hu, what's the matter?"

Until this moment, Hu Tiehan smiled, "You did the right thing just now. Although our Imperial Guards don't have the power of the Ministry of Justice, we have the advantage of being stable. You are of low birth and weak foundation. If you rashly go to the Ministry of Justice, you will die if you make a mistake. If you are capable enough in the future and don't need others to poach you, I will suggest you find another job."

"I understand everything, Brother Hu." Liang Yue replied.

He naturally considered what Hu Tiehan said, but the most direct consideration was that after this meritorious service, he would soon be promoted to a full-time constable in the Imperial Capital Guard. If he jumped to the Ministry of Justice at this time, he would have to wait for an opportunity to be promoted to a full-time constable, which was equivalent to taking a step down.

How can you change jobs like this?

"Here you go." Hu Tiehan took out two booklets from the drawer under the desk and threw them on the table.

Liang Yue looked over and saw what looked like two martial arts secret manuals, one thicker and one thinner.

"You have made great contributions in catching the Nine-Yang spy this time. It shouldn't be a problem for you and Pang Chun to be promoted. The quota will be approved in a month or so, and you only need to pass a martial arts test to be promoted." Hu Tiehan said: "This test is usually just a formality, and anyone with the peak of the first realm can basically pass it. But to be safe, I will give you two martial arts books, take them back and practice them. These are all martial arts that I have practiced myself, so it can be regarded as my personal reward to you."

"Kung Fu?" Liang Yue was delighted: "Can we practice it now?"

It is said that in the Qi and Blood Realm, one can only practice the form but not the spirit. It is useless to practice too many techniques. It is enough to perform a set of boxing, such as Yu Duwei's Tiger Power Fist.

Practicing too many martial arts at this time would only distract you and waste your energy.

"Logically speaking, one must reach the state of visualization before being able to comprehend the spirit of the technique, but you have all reached the peak of the Qi and Blood state, and the divine palace has gradually opened. Starting to comprehend at this time will actually help with a breakthrough. First learn its form, then comprehend its spirit." Hu Tiehan said.

"Thank you, Brother Hu!" Liang Yue thanked with a smile.

Hu Tiehan introduced: "This thick book is the Hu Family Sword Technique, which is passed down from my ancestors. It has a total of eighteen moves. You can practice it on your own, and never pass it on to others."

When talking about this family martial arts technique, he looked very proud.

Liang Yue had heard from the people in the station that the ancestors of the Hu family had a great master of swordsmanship who was almost unrivaled in the north. This book of swordsmanship must be very valuable.

"The thin one is the more common defensive technique, 'Iron Cotton Jacket'. I bought it at the store for eighty taels of silver." Hu Tiehan continued, "My Hu family's swordsmanship requires a lot of comprehension, which is a bit too complicated for Dachun's brain. Let him practice some simple defensive techniques, and he can get through it even if he takes a few more beatings."

"The Hu family's swordsmanship... is it difficult to practice?" Liang Yue asked.

"Of course, otherwise why hasn't my family produced another Grandmaster since our ancestors passed it down until now?" Hu Tiehan said, "My Hu Family Swordsmanship has extremely strict requirements on comprehension!"

"This sword technique has eighteen moves. I have only been able to comprehend the twelfth move so far, and my family ancestors in the past could only practice the seventeenth move at most. You don't even need to look at the visualization diagram of the last eighteenth move, lest you lose confidence and your martial arts heart be blocked. You only need to comprehend seven or eight moves, which will be enough to dominate the second realm in the future."

　Thank you "Shishiyue" for the reward, thank you very much! Thank you very much!
