Water Margin: My 108 Heroes Come from All Heavens

He originally thought that His Majesty would at most promote Liang Shan by one rank, from Assistant Magistrate to Assistant Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices, which would already be a great favor from the Emperor.

After all, this kid has a terrible reputation.

But who could have imagined it?

His Majesty directly promoted Liang Shan to the position of Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.

This is a high-ranking official of the third rank, in charge of all criminal justice in the country, two ranks higher than him, who is a fourth-rank junior minister!

In this case.

Next time I see Liangshan, won't I have to address them as "Sir"?

……

Dali Temple.

The Magistrate's Court.

Liang Shan stared at the imperial edict in his hand, stunned for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

"A third-rank official? The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review?"

He read the imperial edict three times, turning it over and over again.

I'm sure I'm not seeing things.

Own……

He's been promoted yet again.

Moreover, he rose from the eighth rank to several ranks, eventually becoming the third-rank Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.

In other words.

He now completely controls the Dali Temple!

"Thump!"

Su Wen suddenly knelt down and hugged his leg tightly: "Lord Liang, I really want to improve. Please feel free to ask me anything, even..."

talking.

He gritted his teeth, silently turned around, and stuck out his buttocks.

According to rumors.

Liang Shan had a penchant for male beauty and was entangled with handsome young servants, exhibiting homosexual tendencies.

And he...

She has delicate features.

It should be the type the other person likes.

"roll!"

With a dark expression, Liang Shan kicked away Su Wen, who was clinging to his leg.

"Sir, please reconsider..."

Su Wen rubbed his sore buttocks, looking aggrieved.

"If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll reassign you to sweep the latrines!"

Liang Shan glared at him.

Su Wen immediately shut up and tactfully stepped aside, but his eyes still clearly showed the words "I want to improve".

Liang Shan ignored him and continued to study the imperial edict in his hand.

Rank 3.

Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.

He was in charge of all criminal justice systems in the land.

He had the final say in the entire Dali Temple.

Starting tomorrow, he will also be eligible to attend the morning court session.

only……

"Has Zhao Gou... gone mad?"

He frowned, completely baffled.

His reputation was already ruined, but he solved two cases and captured a few demons, so he was promoted to the position of Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.

This is so sudden.

"Could it be that Lin Daiyu secretly helped me out?"

wrong.

Although Lin Daiyu possessed the strength of a grandmaster.

But with no foothold in the court, how could he possibly influence the emperor's decisions?

"My lord, Han Shaoqing has arrived."

Just then, Su Wen whispered a reminder.

He had just finished speaking.

After the court session ended, Han Zhong pushed open the door and walked in.

Upon entering.

He then bowed respectfully to Liang Shan, his attitude being more than ten times more respectful than yesterday: "This humble official, Han Zhong, greets Lord Liang."

"You're too kind, Han Shaoqing."

Liang Shan quickly helped him up.

"My lord, I have a favor to ask."

Han Zhong hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.

"you say."

"This humble official would like to... ask you, sir, for an introduction, as I also wish to advance my career."

Liang Shan: "???"

Looking at Han Zhong's old face, the image of Su Wen sticking out his buttocks suddenly flashed into his mind, and he felt a chill run down his spine.

"Try to be normal, I'm scared."

"What I mean is..."

Han Zhong blushed and explained, "I would like to ask you to say a few good words for me before His Majesty and mention the position of Junior Minister. I have been in this position for eight years..."

"Does my word carry weight?"

Liang Shan was stunned for a moment.

He had never even met Zhao Gou.

"It works, it'll definitely work!"

Han Zhong nodded quickly.

The court may appear calm on the surface, but undercurrents are already surging beneath.

All the court officials were fully aware of the situation.

Liangshan has gained the emperor's favor and is highly regarded; sooner or later, it will rise rapidly to prominence.

He had the advantage of being in a good position.

Seize the initiative.

We must cling tightly to Liangshan's coattails.

"Well……"

Seeing that his old superior was so certain, Liang Shan could only nod and say, "Then I'll talk to His Majesty about it when I have time."

"Thank you, sir!"

Han Zhong was so moved that tears streamed down his face; he was almost ready to kneel down and kowtow.

Su Wen, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded.

He rubbed his hands together.

He stepped forward, a fawning smile on his face: "My lord, then I..."

"Go and compile the interrogation records of those thirty-six demons in the top-level prison. I want to see them before the court session ends today."

Liangshan directly assigned him a task.

Su Wen's face fell, and he walked away dejectedly.

Han Zhong tactfully took his leave.

Inside the magistrate's office.

Finally, it quieted down.

Liang Shan leaned back in his armchair, crossed his legs, and began to plan important matters.

Fahai.

Bao'en Temple.

The Lone Star.

These three keywords swirled in his mind several times.

"The system says that Tian Gu Xing is a monk with the combat power of the Celestial Realm. Fa Hai is also a monk, and the one who recently came to Kaifeng City is most likely him."

"only……"

"How could he have killed Xu Xian?"

I pondered for a long time.

Liang Shan stood up.

Instead of guessing here, we should just go and see Bao'en Temple.

"Zhou Ming!"

He shouted towards the door.

Zhou Ming scurried in, a fawning smile on his face: "Sir, you wanted to see me?"

"Come with me to Bao'en Temple."

"Okay!"

Zhou Ming responded and turned to run.

But after running a couple of steps, he turned back and cautiously asked, "So, do we need to wear masks?"

"What a load of rubbish!"

Liang Shan glared at him: "I am now the third-rank Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. Do you think the people of Kaifeng would dare to hit me?"

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Zhou Ming gave a thumbs-up, flattered him, and then ran off in a flash.

……

Half an hour later.

The back gate of Bao'en Temple.

Liang Shan and Zhou Ming arrived here looking disheveled.

"They must have shaken them off, right?"

Liang Shan looked back with lingering fear.

This is absolutely outrageous!

I just went out by myself.

This resulted in tens of thousands of people surrounding and beating them, filling the streets and alleys in a massive mob.

This is quite a spectacle.

It's even more extravagant than the celebrity outings of my previous life.

If he hadn't run so fast...

My life is over today.

The people of Kaifeng are really too fierce.

"Let's go inside."

Liang Shan straightened his clothes and stepped into the back gate of Bao'en Temple.

As for why they didn't go through the front door...

Don't ask.

The answer is that they like to use back channels.

Inside Bao'en Temple.

The air was filled with the smoke of incense and the sounds of chanting.

Several young monks were sweeping the courtyard when they saw Liang Shan enter. They were taken aback at first, and then their expressions changed drastically.

"It's that lecherous scoundrel!"

"Run!"

"He likes men, so he's probably interested in us!"

The young monks threw down their brooms and scattered in a flurry.

Liang Shan's face darkened.

It seems like I've been the subject of another round of rumors.

[Ding! The Lone Star Flower Monk has been detected nearby! Please subdue him immediately!]

[Ding! The Lone Star Flower Monk has been detected nearby! Please subdue him immediately!]

[Ding! The Lone Star Flower Monk has been detected nearby! Please subdue him immediately!]

Suddenly.

A series of system notifications sounded in my mind.

"Indeed, Fahai is a lone star in the sky!"

Liang Shan's eyes lit up.

According to Bai Suzhen, Fahai came from afar and stayed at Bao'en Temple!
