Chapter 490 Transaction (please subscribe)

Duke Anguo Du Xinran has been in the court for many years. He has experienced countless ups and downs, even bloody storms, and his sense of smell is extremely sensitive.

Just when he was about to take action against Lin Hao's Blood Knife Princess, the Assassination Bureau suddenly sent this transfer order, which made him instinctively alert.

However, Du Xinran was helpless. In recent years, the Demon Cult had indeed expanded greatly in the northern part of Jingzhou in the Song Dynasty, and had recruited a large number of believers. It made sense for Lin Hao, the commander of the Assassination Bureau, to take action in the northern part of Jingzhou.

Lin Haoling has the responsibility to recover the Abyss Divine Monument and does have the authority to mobilize all the generals of the Yulin Direct Force.

Naturally, there was no need to explain to him the reason for transferring him north to Jingzhou.

Everything was legitimate, leaving no room for questioning or commenting, and Du Xinran unable to resist.

The news that came later made Du Xinran's face turn as pale as paper.

Many of his clansmen also received transfer orders one after another. Some of them were inexplicably transferred to other places like Du Xinran; some were entrusted with "important tasks" by the Bureau of Assassination of Traitors, and had to mobilize troops and charge to the front line of investigating the Demon Cult; some were suspected of corruption and were investigated by the Bureau of Divine Supervision, suspended and interrogated; some were even directly transferred from their original official positions and left idle.

In addition, the fleets of almost all the businesses in the Anguo Mansion were strictly inspected by the Imperial City Bureau.

They also had three warehouses that were raided by the Assassination Bureau.

Because many contraband materials were found, almost all the shopkeepers and above of these businesses were wiped out, and the properties and warehouses in various places were also sealed off.

And it wasn't just the Anguo Mansion. All the properties under the name of his sister Concubine Jing's son, Prince Jin, were also swept away by the Imperial City Bureau.

"Shuzi!"

Du Xinran was angry and hateful at first, but after just an hour, he felt a chill all over his body.

He was now certain that Lin Hao had noticed his little movements.

This guy is so ruthless, once he takes action, he is like a tidal wave, leaving no room for maneuver!
The scary thing is that the commander of the assassination bureau has greatly increased his power in the court and is now able to eliminate the Du family.

The timing was also very good. The emperor had just been reprimanded by the gods for the theft of the fragments of the sacred stele and was under great suspicion. He had no time and no ability to protect the Anguo Mansion.

Du Xinran pondered for a while and found that he was helpless and unable to deal with it.

All of the other party's arrangements were under the banner of searching for the evil cult's rebels, making it impossible to criticize or refuse.

From now on, he and the Du family will be crushed and killed by Lin Hao bit by bit!

Du Xinran's heart was as cold as an ice cave, and he sat in his chair for a long time without being able to speak.

It was not until a hundred breaths later that Du Xinran's expression returned to calm.

He then pulled out something that looked like a 21st century mobile phone from his sleeve, with a sharp look in his eyes.

Du Xinran thought that Lin Hao either underestimated him or wanted to force him to make a choice - to fight to the death at all costs!
But could this person have imagined that he still had an ally, an extremely reliable ally from the outer demon world.

Du Xinran thought for a moment and then dialed a number.

He had no choice. Ji Xueying alone could not solve the problem. As long as Lin Hao and Zhou Yunxi, brother and sister, were not dead, his Anguo Mansion would not be at peace.

※※※※

At the same time, at the Security Bureau headquarters, Li Jianglong was presiding over a meeting regarding Lin Hao, the commander of the Assassination Bureau.

At this time, the atmosphere in the conference room was gloomy, and a group of senior security officials looked helpless and depressed.

Some even cried out in despair, "Martial law again! Stricter checks on passing merchants! It's only been quiet for a few days, and now it's starting again!"

"It seems that the prices of bulk commodities on Tianji Star are unlikely to drop. Although Liao and Zhongzhou have relaxed their restrictions, the problem is that there are more than a dozen medicinal herbs and minerals that are currently only produced within the Great Song."

"Lin Hao is an extremely conservative hardliner. He finally relaxed a little under pressure from all sides. Now that he has received divine instructions, I'm afraid he will become even more extreme."

"It's truly astonishing! This man actually obtained the Tiger Talisman for mobilizing troops from the four armies of Tianyuan and the three armies of Luojing, and was even able to mobilize an entire battalion of the Divine Guards! The strength of this Divine Guard is almost equivalent to our most elite unit, the 'Divine Eagle Brigade'!"

"This man's power and position in the Song Dynasty court is definitely among the top ten! Could he really become the emperor of Dongzhou?"

"It's possible! The Intelligence Analysis Center used a large model to calculate last night that the probability of Lin Hao becoming the Emperor of Dongzhou is currently 11.5%, and the probability of him becoming a member of the Abyss in the future is 0. However, this large model also gives a possibility: the probability of Lin Hao becoming a member of the Abyss is 2.1%."

"Fuck, what kind of stupid model calculated this? You guys actually calculated it?"

Li Jianglong, seated above, had a blank expression on his face. The main theme of their meeting was the response to the large-scale blockade and screening launched by the Assassination Bureau within a 10,000-mile radius of Luojing. Because Lin Rui had informed him beforehand, the Security Bureau had prepared for the situation two hours in advance, so the losses were minimal.

However, many other commercial organizations and alien practitioners were unable to react in time and were severely hit by the Assassination Bureau and the Imperial City Bureau.

Some of their well-informed people found out that the Song Dynasty's overreaction this time was most likely due to an operation carried out by the Security Bureau not long ago.

This caused a stir among various federal forces, and they put pressure on the Security Bureau, trying to force them to solve the problem.

The result of the discussion among the senior officials of the Security Bureau was that if they wanted to lift the blockade as soon as possible, they could only secretly help the Song Dynasty and dig out the people of the Holy Church of Light as soon as possible.

After the discussion, a group of people began to whine and complain.

Li Jianglong seemed to be listening to people talking, but in fact he was listening to Lin Rui's report.

Li Jianglong: "Okay, just these few people, right? Don't worry, I will arrange for them to die in the line of duty. As for Du Xinran, if he really deserts his post in northern Jingzhou and attempts to return to Luojing, I will personally take action."

Li Jianglong: So, aren't you anxious to retrieve the Abyssal Divine Monument? Do you still have the heart to fight this Duke Anguo?

Lone Shadow Sky Blade (Lin Rui): I was forced to fight back! Commander, they've bullied me to the point of me being bullied. If I don't fight back, it wouldn't be consistent with my character. As for the Abyssal Divine Monument, honestly, there's no point in rushing now. I can only pretend to search. Now I can only hope to unearth those 'Heavenly Fragrance Divine Envoy' and 'Warring Heaven Dharma King' as soon as possible.

Li Jianglong was right in thinking that Lin Rui had no clues or leads at the moment, so there was no point in finding him.

Li Jianglong: That makes sense. I can help you this time, but there is a condition. If you find the sacred stele, find a way to help me scrape some of it off. What we got before is not enough to share.

As soon as Li Jianglong said this, he received a video call.

He looked at the contact, frowned, and walked to a lounge next to the conference room to answer the call.

The figure that appeared in the video was the commander of the Second Star Fleet, 'Star Sea White Wolf' Zang Shaochen.

He stared at Li Jianglong coldly, "Was your previous action aimed at the Abyss Divine Monument? Why didn't you inform me beforehand? Where did you get this information?"

Zang Shaochen was furious. Wasn't it just for the sake of being able to make further progress in his current cultivation that he had been working so hard for a hundred years and pursuing what he wanted by any means necessary?
As a result, the Security Bureau's operation excluded him.

Li Jianglong responded expressionlessly, "Our operation this time is a federal X-class secret. I have no comment! Why didn't I inform you in advance? Zang Shaochen, you know what's going on! Zang Shaochen, is this what you're doing?"

He immediately waved his hand, ready to end the call.

Zang Shaochen said that he had some urgent matters to discuss with him, but it turned out to be a lie.

"What I want to say is related to Lin Hao."

Zang Shaochen snorted coldly, his tone filled with dissatisfaction: "Since Lin Hao took office, he has caused such great losses to our Federation. Why hasn't the Security Bureau taken any action yet? Now, because of your actions, my friends and I have suffered great losses. I hope your Security Bureau can give us an explanation!"

Li Jianglong thought that the Changsheng Society had indeed suffered a heavy loss.

Lin Rui had previously used the intelligence he provided to destroy a base of the Changsheng Society.

Yesterday, Lin Rui took over the power and deployed the forces of the Imperial City Bureau to crack down on the chambers of commerce under the jurisdiction of the Changsheng Society, causing these companies to suffer financial losses of more than 70 billion federal coins.

"I believe that Lin Hao's current threat to the Federation is still limited. Now is not the time to eliminate him. This will only further inflame the Eastern Abyss. Of course, if you, Old Zang, insist on eliminating him, I will not object and will not stop you."

Li Jianglong crossed his arms, his expression puzzled. "Regarding the large-scale cleanup launched by the Song Dynasty around Luojing, we have already issued a warning two hours in advance. The claim that our Security Bureau suffered huge losses due to its actions is untenable.

Also, we just held an internal meeting within the Security Bureau and discussed that the best way to calm the situation is to help the Song Dynasty find what they want to retrieve."

Zang Shaochen was furious when he heard this, the threat from God was still limited!
Lin Hao now has the power to mobilize a battalion of Divine Guards!
Also, the warning was only two hours in advance, what’s the point?

What made him even more speechless was that the Security Bureau's brilliant idea was to help the Song Dynasty? To help that Lin Hao? It was simply insane!
"Let me be frank. You want to take the fragments and powder of the Abyss Monument from me? It's absolutely impossible. Have I been scared since my debut? If you want it, you can just start a war and defeat me right now."

Li Jianglong raised his chin and looked down at Zang Shaochen with a disdainful look. But then he changed his tone and said, "However, as far as I know, there are still three fragments of the divine tablet scattered around. You can go and look for them now. The Security Bureau can provide you with all the necessary intelligence resources and cooperation."

Zang Shaochen's face turned slightly green. He stared at Li Jianglong for a moment, then finally snorted and hung up the phone.

At this moment, Li Jianglong received a message from Lin Ruifa.

Lone Shadow Heavenly Blade (Lin Rui): Sure, I will try my best, provided that the commander-in-chief really takes action.
