Chapter 356 Supervisor (Subscription Request)
Lin Rui really wanted to exchange for the Royal Flame War Dragon immediately, but then he had to get busy.

This failed assassination attempt is undoubtedly another major case of the devil, and the Assassination Bureau has an unshirkable responsibility for this case.

This is a typical assassination case. The facts are clear, but there is still a lot to investigate, such as how so many people sneaked into the city?
How could they set up an ambush near Yongye Street silently? Did they secretly provide convenience or even cooperate with them?
Who owns the buildings where these people are hiding? What is their connection to these assassins?
And the sixth-level super king war dragon that was shot down by Lin Xi in the sky just now has been confirmed to belong to Shi Rongzhi, a doctor in the Ministry of Works.

Lin Xi did not kill the war dragon, but only knocked it unconscious and captured it, so this person is still alive and needs to be arrested immediately and his accomplices tracked down.

So there are quite a lot of things to do next, but fortunately this case can be handled together with the previous Luo Family Manor case, so there are not many matters that Lin Rui needs to handle personally.

Lin Rui was then summoned again by several bigwigs from the Divine Envoy Prison.

The emperor and the three gods' messengers praised Lin Hao for crushing the assassination plot of the extraterritorial demons and ruthlessly killing nearly a hundred demons. They admired him very much, but at the same time they were furious.

Over the past 50 years, the demons from outside the domain have been acting more and more rampant and presumptuous in the territory of the Song Dynasty. This time, they even dared to set an ambush in Luojing City and assassinate important officials of the imperial court. The target of the assassination was Lin Hao, the current commander of the Assassination Bureau. This can be said to have touched the bottom line of the emperor and several gods' envoys.

Especially this time, Shi Rongzhi, who was involved in the case, was a fourth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Works of the imperial court!

The position of Langzhong is already a pillar-level figure in the Ministry of Works, but such an important figure is actually an extraterritorial demon?

From this, we can see to what extent these extraterritorial demons have infiltrated the Song Dynasty.

Luo Wangshu was even more angry. This time, the three of them were lured out of the city by the wanted criminal of the Song Dynasty and got nothing. As a result, his house was almost robbed.

Her most proud and trusted disciple almost died at the hands of these demons.

At the same time, Luo Wangshu felt relieved. Relying on his abilities and talents, Lin Hao not only escaped unscathed this time, but also inflicted heavy casualties on these extraterritorial demons.

Luo Wangshu thought that this child really lived up to her expectations and could be entrusted with important matters!
She did want to find a reliable partner among those extraterritorial demons, but that didn't mean these demons could run rampant under her nose.

After reporting the case, Lin Rui also reported on the situation of the Luo Family Manor case.

The emperor and the two divine messengers were very dissatisfied with the progress of the case, but they had nothing to say.

They all realized that Lin Hao was deliberately delaying, but the problem was that this guy had already suffered a very dangerous assassination attempt for this case, and it was hard to say that he had not done his best.

Moreover, the three deputy commanders of the Anti-Traitor Bureau who are actually responsible for investigating this case actually have their own backgrounds and act according to their instructions.

What surprised them a little was that Lin Hao later applied to the Divine Envoy Supervisor for the qualification of a Dragon Guard Attendant on the grounds of ensuring his own safety.

"Dragon Guards? And you want the adult Dragon Guards kept in the Dragon Guard City?"

The Second Divine Envoy sat high on the throne, and through the heavy curtains, he looked at the newly appointed Commander of the Traitor Assassination Bureau with interest: "Lin Hao, the imperial court has its own rules for the assignment of Dragon Guards. If you want to increase your guards, you can hire a family guard to protect your house.

"As the commander of the Anti-Traitor Bureau, you should not shy away from danger and bravely face danger. Has this assassination attempt made you lose your courage and become a frightened bird?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Rui calmly bowed his hands and said, "Lord Divine Envoy, I am not afraid of death! I only fear that I cannot preserve this useful body to serve the country, slay demons and monsters for the Song Dynasty, and protect the people of all directions. I can hire a family general, but I come from a humble family with little means and a limited salary. I cannot afford it. Please, Your Majesty and Divine Envoy, be understanding!"

The second envoy chuckled when he heard this, he knew that this could not be stopped.

It is perfectly legitimate for Lin Hao to ask for the Dragon Guards at this time. If the Divine Envoy refuses, and the officials and the common people find out, I wonder what they will think and say.

Moreover, Lin Hao used to be a yamen runner, and he was an honest official, so he really didn't have much money to hire guards.

The second divine envoy asked curiously, "Lin Hao, which Dragon Guard have you taken a fancy to?"

Lin Rui unceremoniously bowed, "Third-rank Dragon Guard with a Sword, Xian Yuyan!"

Luo Wangshu couldn't help but raise her eyebrows after hearing this, thinking that her disciple had good taste. However, after she exchanged glances with the several gods' messengers and the emperor present through the curtain, they all looked a little strange.

Who among them didn't know Xian Yuyan's talent and strength? Yet they all allowed her to serve as an instructor in the Dragon Guards. Naturally, there was a reason.

How easy is it for Lin Hao to recruit Xian Yuyan into his team?
"You have good eyes. Xian Yuyan's bloodline is at the seventh level of the Super Emperor, and she is at the Emperor level of swordsmanship. She is the one with the highest potential among all the adult Dragon Guards in Dragon Guard City."

The emperor also praised him in a cold voice: "I can give you a position in the Dragon Guard, and I also allow you to recruit Xian Yuyan, a third-rank sword-bearing Dragon Guard. However, you must convince Xian Yuyan yourself, and you cannot force her."

Lin Rui was delighted when he heard this and bowed in response.

Only after obtaining the permission of the Divine Envoy Bureau could he go ahead and recruit Xian Yuyan.

This is definitely not easy, but Lin Rui firmly believes that as long as he uses the hoe well, there is no corner that cannot be dug down!
Just as Lin Rui was about to leave, the First Divine Envoy suddenly spoke up, "Lin Hao, I just heard you say that the Sixth Realm Super Emperor 'Danxin Wudelong' that we saw today belongs to your adopted sister Zhou Yunxi? This Zhou Yunxi is the daughter of Zhou Rang, the Fourth Rank Imperial Censor. And a descendant of the Wangcheng Zhou family?"

As soon as the First Divine Envoy said this, the atmosphere in the hall became strange.

Several divine messengers looked at the emperor with strange eyes. Two years ago, Imperial Censor Zhou Rang was sentenced to death for his dissent when he advised the emperor against increasing taxes and conscripting three million people from the surrounding Zhili region to build the "Divine Refining Platform."

The emperor ultimately failed to get what he wanted and hated the Imperial Censor Zhou Rang to the core. Soon after, he found a fault in him, imprisoned him and sentenced him to death. He also demoted and exiled the other upright officials who had accompanied Zhou Rang in making suggestions.

At that time, people from all walks of life felt sorry for Zhou Yushi and had deep sympathy for him. However, the emperor had a legitimate reason and was angry, so even several divine messengers in the court could not stop him.

But no one expected that not long after, news came from Wangcheng County that the Zhou family had been wiped out by the eunuch party in the court!

This incident caused an uproar in the court and made many court officials extremely disappointed in the emperor.

They didn't expect that even though Zhou Rang was dead and the Zhou family's war dragon inheritance was about to be cut off, the emperor was still unwilling to let the Zhou family go and was determined to kill them all!
It should be noted that the so-called "eunuch party" is actually the emperor's party.

The officials of the Song Dynasty were shared by the emperor and the gods. The emperor and the royal family had limited trust in external officials, and they often trusted their own eunuchs more.

The only thing to be thankful for is that there is still an orphan girl in the Zhou family alive, and it is said that she was saved by Lin Hao.

This is another reason why those upright officials in the Censorate have a very favorable impression of Lin Hao.

This was the main reason why Yuan Chengkai was dismissed from his post.

Those upright officials were extremely dissatisfied with Shazhou Governor Yuan Chengkai and the local county magistrate Li Changguo.

Li Changguo was lucky, as he made amends afterwards. However, Yuan Chengkai, the governor of Shazhou, was a follower of the emperor's party and was likely involved in the Zhou family's massacre.

Therefore, when Yuan Chengkai's case broke out, not only was no one in the court willing to speak for him, but those upright officials also attacked him.

Now that the First Divine Envoy suddenly mentioned Zhou Yunxi, it was undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Emperor.

"Reporting to the Divine Envoy! Zhou Yunxi is Zhou Rang's daughter." Lin Rui bowed and replied, "I was worried that she would be bullied if she stayed in Wangcheng County, so I brought her to the capital."

"I see. The Zhou family was wiped out by a villain not long ago. We really must be on guard."

The First Divine Envoy chuckled. "I see this woman's War Dragon is at the Sixth Realm Super Emperor level, and she also has a Sword Bone Demon at the Fifth Realm Imperial level by her side. She also has considerable martial arts talent, capable of controlling her War Dragon to withstand eleven attacks from an Eighth Realm War Dragon without dying. Her strength is already quite impressive. I wonder if she's willing to serve the court?"

Lin Rui was cheered up when he heard this, realizing that Lin Xi's luck had come.

There are three divine envoys in the Imperial City Administration. The second divine envoy is responsible for managing the Imperial Dragon Bureau, the third divine envoy is in charge of finances, and the first divine envoy is in charge of the Heavenly Official System.

As for the commander of the Imperial City, he is nominally in charge of everything, but in fact he is just a human-shaped seal.

This person was nominally responsible for the examination and appointment of officials, but in fact, the selection and appointment of all officials above the third rank, whether they were celestial officials or imperial dragon officials, were all handled by the divine envoy himself. The commander of the Imperial City Division was also responsible for internal supervision, but part of this power was also usurped by the Bureau of Assassinating Traitors.

Lin Rui answered without hesitation: "Lord Divine Envoy, the Zhou family has been loyal and righteous for five generations. Their loyalty and righteousness have been passed down from generation to generation. Their family's love for serving the country has never changed. That immortal dragon is proof of this!"

"Good!" The First Divine Envoy clapped his hands fiercely and uttered a soft praise: "The Imperial City Administration has set up nine 'Inspectors' in Luojing City, each in charge of a region and a gate. The post of Inspector of Chengtian Gate has been vacant for three months, and no suitable candidate has been found.

I think this child is quite suitable. Coincidentally, the Imperial City Bureau will be conducting a large-scale demon test tomorrow. You can ask your adopted sister to take the test."

Lin Rui's eyes lit up, and he thought to himself that Lin Xi was really lucky.

The Supervisory Commissioner was a fifth-rank official! In the Heavenly Official System, he was second only to the Fourth-rank Heavenly Official.

Moreover, the status of the nine inspectors in Luojing City is like that of the nine-gate commander-in-chief eunuchs in the ancient Ming Dynasty, who are responsible for supervising the Jinwu Guards and Shen Ce Army at the nine gates of Luojing.

They were also responsible for controlling access, checking people and goods, night patrols and firefighting, compiling and checking the militia, arresting and adjudicating cases, etc., and had considerable authority.

Chengtian Gate is the main gate of the imperial city and the most important of the nine city gates.

The Inspector of Chengtian Gate has the heaviest responsibility, the least benefits, and the weakest authority among the Nine Gate Inspectors - but he is at least a fifth-rank official!

Lin Xi was immediately promoted above the Deputy Supervisory Envoy Zhuang Mingyue.

Lin Rui couldn't help but look up at the throne in front of him.

He couldn't see the emperor's expression through the curtain, but he could feel that the temperature inside the palace had dropped to freezing point.

　Not tonight.
