Chapter 260 Political Achievements (Subscription Request)

As soon as the official ship that Zhuang Mingyue and Zhang Tianchang were on entered Wangcheng County, they felt that the weather here was very different from a few months ago.

On this day, there were many more merchant ships coming and going on the Xiang River than before. The key point was that these merchant ships not only dared to sail alone, but also dared to sail at night.

As everyone knows, flying at night is quite dangerous anywhere in the Song Dynasty, and the chance of encountering monsters is extremely high.

Even if they had to sail at night, they would usually gather dozens of merchant ships and ask escort agencies specializing in water transportation to provide them with escort.

However, in Wangcheng County, these local shipping merchants were very bold. They were still racing on the water late at night, leaving the many helmsmen and captains (ancient captains) on their ship stunned.

When we arrived at Jinggang and asked, we found out that it was Lord Lin, the defense commander of Wangchengdu, the Imperial City, who had been vigorously clearing out demons since taking office. Not only did he eliminate all the demons inside Wangcheng County, he also expanded the scope to the Tianxiang River.

For a while, Lord Lin patrolled the river by boat every day, capturing and killing any demons or evil cultivators he saw.

Lord Lin is also very cruel to those who do evil. A while ago, he single-handedly wiped out three nearby bandit dens and killed more than a hundred demon cultivators.

It is said that Lord Lin has a very good sensing ability and a very strong fighting ability. It is also said that those demons and evil cultivators are now terrified when they mention Wangcheng, and some people who have transformed into demons will flee the Wangcheng County area at the first opportunity, so the entire Wangcheng County is very peaceful.

"I've always felt that this kid Twelve is not an ordinary person, and it turns out to be true."

Zhang Tianchang stood on the dock and glanced around. "He's only been in office for a few months? Actually, I came to Jinggang once on official business about half a year ago. Back then, the Demon Dragon was still around, and the entire Wangcheng area was desolate. The streets were practically deserted. Only the area around the port was still relatively prosperous, with a bit of traffic, but it was nowhere near the thriving and bustling business it is now."

Zhuang Mingyue was also observing the endless stream of people and vehicles on the dock. She then looked out at the city walls of Wangcheng in the distance, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but smile slightly. "Not bad! My recommendation is worth it."

As they walked towards the outside of Jinggang, Zhuang Mingyue, who had sharp ears and eyes, heard that the workers on the dock were actually talking about Lin Twelve.

"Have you heard? Our County Governor, Lord Li, and Defense Commissioner, Lord Lin, seem to be transferred to serve in the capital."

"I know. The superiors are all talking about making umbrellas for these two gentlemen. I'm just wondering, the county magistrate has been serving in our county for a year, and he was transferred, so why is Lord Lin being transferred too?"

"What else could it be? His political achievements are remarkable. Look at what Wangcheng looks like now."

"What a shame! It would be great if Lord Lin could stay in Wangcheng a little longer. Such a good official is rare. It was thanks to Lord Lin that we opened the granaries and released grain, which made our family's life much better this year. Lord Lin also worked day and night, patrolling the county river and slaying demons, which made our business at the dock several times better than in previous years. I wonder what the situation will be like when the next defense envoy takes office."

"It's a pity. The superiors want to build a memorial for Lord Lin and erect a memorial tablet. I have no objection. But what right does the county governor Li Changguo have? He has been in our Wangcheng for more than a year, and we have been living off the land for half a year."

"Shut up! Do you think you can say the name of the county magistrate? Speak softly, don't let the bailiffs at the county government office hear you."

Zhuang Mingyue and Zhang Tianchang looked at each other and thought that Lin Twelve's reputation as an official in the local area was indeed very good.

Not long after the two of them walked out of the dock, they saw Lin Twelve and his Blood Knife Princess riding towards them in the distance.

"You two caught me off guard."

Lin Rui was slightly stunned after getting off the horse. He saw that behind Zhuang Mingyue and Zhang Tianchang, there were dozens of "Imperial Dragon Guards" wearing captain's uniforms, including several captains of martial virtue.

Why did Zhuang Mingyue bring so many Imperial Dragon Captains here?

Lin Rui then smiled bitterly and bowed to the two people in front of him, with a hint of complaint in his words: "Why didn't Senior Sister and Brother Chang send me a message before they came? I should have been at the dock to greet them."

Zhang Tianchang's expression relaxed when he heard this. He was really afraid that the guy in front of him would just say "Xiao Zhang".

Zhuang Mingyue looked a little embarrassed after hearing Lin Rui's words. She smiled and waved her hand: "What's the relationship between you and me? Why bother with these empty formalities?"

Zhuang Mingyue knew that Lin Twelve would come to the dock to greet him, and thought it was inappropriate, so she didn't notify him in advance.

Zhuang Mingyue knew the importance of the "Commander of the Assassination Bureau." Soon, their family would have to show respect to this person. How could she let Lin Twelve come to greet her? If others knew, they would only think that she, the eldest daughter of the Zhuang family, was too arrogant.

Zhuang Mingyue was also secretly moved in her heart. When she recommended Lin Twelve to her father and the governor of Shazhou, she never expected that he would rise so fast in just a few months and take charge of the most powerful government office within the Imperial City Bureau, becoming the most popular figure in the Song Dynasty.

"Also," Zhuang Mingyue paused, her face flushing red. "I am only the Divine Envoy's nominal disciple. I haven't yet entered the room and haven't truly become his disciple. I don't deserve the title of Senior Sister. From now on, I should call you Senior Brother."

Lin Rui was stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized.

It turns out that Zhuang Mingyue is not his real senior sister. She was just using the banner of the Lord God's Messenger to make things easier for herself.

It was as if he was in Qin Yan's cave, using the name of Meng Tianguan to bully others.

And according to the rules of the Song Dynasty, when Zhuang Mingyue truly becomes the disciple of the Divine Envoy in the future, he must call him senior brother.

Lin Rui then smiled and bowed, saying, "Sister Zhuang is extremely talented and possesses both ability and virtue. Sooner or later, she will be able to become Master's disciple. We will discuss our own affairs."

Zhuang Mingyue still felt embarrassed. The young constable had not only become her superior, but would also become her senior brother in the future.

Thinking of the word "Shangguan", Zhuang Mingyue's face became serious, and she took out a roll of official documents hidden in her sleeve: "Sir Lin! The two of us are here in compliance with the imperial decree to convey the transfer document to you!

After consultation between the Imperial City Commander-in-Chief and the three divine envoys, Lin Twelve has been promoted to the rank of Fifth-Rank Lower Mingwei Colonel. He will be transferred from his position as Wangcheng Defense Commissioner to Commander of the Traitor Assassination Bureau. Furthermore, by order of the Third Divine Envoy, upon receipt of this official document, please proceed to the capital to assume your post as soon as possible!"

The two of them were entrusted with this matter by their master when they went to Beijing to participate in the promotion assessment and were preparing to return to Shazhou.

Originally, this document should have been issued through the Tongzhengsi channel, but the third divine envoy might have been worried that the Tongzhengsi would intentionally delay it, so he asked the two of them to bring the transfer document with them on their way back to Shazhou.

Lin Rui also looked serious as he took the document in his hand.

He took a careful look and found that it was full of official documents with parallel and elegant words. The general meaning was that the Defense Envoy Lin Twelve was a talented person. He was not only gifted, but also had high talent and integrity. He had made many achievements and outstanding political achievements since taking office. He was a good official with both talent and virtue, so he was promoted to the rank of Mingwei Captain and transferred to the position of Commander of the Traitor Assassination Bureau.

Lin Shier was far away in Shazhou, and the person who wrote the official document had little understanding of him. The political achievements mentioned in the document were very vague, and many of the contents were irrelevant.

However, it has the seals of the commander-in-chief of the Imperial City and three divine messengers.

Lin Rui had never understood why the Imperial City Department had appointed him as the Commander of the Traitor Assassination Bureau. He was extremely curious about this, but he couldn't make out anything meaningful from this official document.

At this time, Zhuang Mingyue signaled several strong men wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Dragon Commander behind him to carry a huge black box that was two meters high to the front.

"Twelve, take another look at this." Zhuang Mingyue smiled as she opened the wooden box. "This is something Senior Sister Meng asked me to bring you. Twelve, you should be able to guess what it is, but Senior Sister Meng still said it could give you a surprise."

Lin Rui's expression brightened, knowing that this must be the Demon Dragon Armor that Meng Weiyun asked someone to make for him!

However, when those Dragon Guards opened the black box, Lin Rui's pupils shrank slightly.
