Lin Yanjiang nodded slightly: "If the murderer really wants to rebel, he will try his best to get rid of Lu Hui and Xu Shan, and he will definitely replace these two key positions with his own people.

Your guess is very reasonable, I will pay attention to this matter for you."

"Thank you, sir."

Li Xiuran breathed a sigh of relief and said a little embarrassedly: "I have another thing to ask for help from Huzhi."

Lin Yanjiang glanced at him: "Speak straight."

Li Xiuran said: "I want to ask Your Majesty for two things."

A hint of doubt flashed in Lin Yanjiang's eyes, and he seemed a little curious: "What two things?"

“Manpower and power!”

Li Xiuran said seriously: "This case is likely to be a major rebellion case. The mastermind behind it must be quite good. If you investigate it further, there may be great resistance. Without these two things, if you want to find out this case, you may not be able to do it."

This is another purpose of his visit to Lin Yanjiang.

Since the mastermind behind him dares to rebel, his power will definitely not be small, and the relationship involved must be complicated. Even if he is a small partial guard, he is probably not enough to see even if he is blessed by the emperor's destiny.

If you dare to rebel, who will care about these things?

If you continue to investigate, don’t talk about solving the case. Maybe he will be silenced at any time.

You must first need some manpower and power to calm the situation.

With Lin Yanjiang's wisdom, he naturally heard Li Xiuran's concerns and nodded, "It's too late today, so it's not convenient to enter the palace. When I go to court tomorrow, I will speak to Your Majesty for you."

"Thank you, sir."

Li Xiuran was delighted, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground.

It was already dark. After the serious matter was said, Li Xiuran did not stay any longer. He said goodbye to Lin Yanjiang, and left the Lin Mansion with Yang Wenxin and Chi Qingwan.

He did not continue to investigate the case and went back to the Demon Suppression Department directly.

...

The next morning, above the court.

Hu Yanshou was wearing a dragon robe and a crown on his head. He sat upright on the dragon chaise. He listened to the various memorials of the ministers in the hall. When no one spoke again, he said lightly:

"Xu Shan and Lu Hui were killed, and their positions cannot be left empty all the time. It's time to consider the candidate to take over.

Commander Yan, you are the leader of the imperial guards, and you are the most familiar with the situation. Do you have the right person to recommend?"

Yan Hao's face tightened and he hurriedly said, "It depends on your Majesty's decision, I dare not make any comments."

He is already the commander of the imperial guards, and then recommends the deputy commander and replaces the imperial guards with his own people. This is a big taboo. Maybe the emperor is deliberately testing him. If he really recommends, he will be stupid.

A hint of satisfaction flashed across Hu Yanshou's face and looked at the ministers and said, "Can anyone choose to recommend it?"

Lin Yanjiang suddenly raised his spirits and waited quietly for someone to answer. However, the hall was quiet. After waiting for a while, no one spoke, and a trace of doubt gradually arose in his heart.

Hu Yanshou looked at Wu Yong, the Minister of War, and said, "Shangshu Wu, the Ministry of War is responsible for the assessment and promotion of military generals. Do you have any suitable candidates?"

Wu Yong stepped out and bowed and said, "The imperial guards are in charge of the defense of the capital. The deputy commander should be selected with caution. If outsiders are transferred, it may be difficult to convince the public.

I suggest that I directly select people from the generals of the Imperial Guards and each guards. Among them, Tang Cong, Meng Huai and Chen Hanguang have been in office for many years and have sufficient qualifications. In recent years, every assessment has been excellent and can bear heavy responsibilities.

Who should I choose? Please decide."

Lin Yanjiang looked at him calmly, his eyes flashing slightly.

Hu Yanshou nodded and said, "Take the characters of these three people a little slow to me."

The character is the resume, also called the character character.

Wu Yong bowed and said, "Yes."

"As for the position of the city gate lieutenant, let Wu Shangshu choose a suitable person to take over." The city gate lieutenant was only a sixth-rank official and did not even have the qualifications to go to court. Hu Yanshou was too lazy to worry about it, so he directly pushed it to Wu Yong.

The Ministry of War is in charge of military elections, and the promotion and appointment of military generals are his duties.

Wu Yong bowed and accepted the order: "I obey the order."

"Do you have something to report to me? If not, let's come here for today's morning court." Hu Yanshou glanced at the ministers.

Lin Yanjiang took a breath, went out to salute and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Hu Yanshou glanced at him and said lightly: "What's the matter with Aiqing Lin?"

Lin Yanjiang said: "This matter is not convenient to be discussed in the court, and you need to report it to Your Majesty alone."

The ministers were stunned and looked at him one after another.

Guan Chenghe and Yan Hao frowned slightly, wondering what Lin Yanjiang was going to do.

"oh?"

A trace of curiosity flashed in Hu Yanshou's eyes, and he waved his hand and said, "Lin Aiqing stays, everyone else will be separated."

The ministers took the order and retreated one after another.

"You can talk now." Hu Yanshou looked at Lin Yanjiang and said with interest.

Lin Yanjiang glanced at the eunuchs and guards in the hall, without saying anything, and his intention was self-evident.

"Everything goes down." Hu Yanshou's curiosity was even more intense. He waved everyone away, leaving only a few personal eunuchs and guards. He frowned and looked at Lin Yanjiang, and half-jokingly said:

"Lin Aiqing is so mysterious. If what he wants to report is not a big deal, don't blame me for being rude."

Don't worry, you will never disappoint... Lin Yanjiang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty ordered Li Xiuran to investigate the three cases of the assassination of the palace and the deaths of Lu Hui and Xu Shan. After receiving the imperial edict yesterday, he immediately launched the investigation and gained some results.

And it is of great importance, and you must report it to Your Majesty.

But he couldn't enter the palace, so he found me and asked me to report the case to Your Majesty..."

Lin Yanjiang told Hu Yanshou that Li Xiuran's speculation, and his face, which was originally interested, gradually became gloomy as he heard it. Finally, even his eyebrows were raised a little, and he was obviously extremely angry.

The eunuch next to him became more and more respectful. He saw the emperor's anger and even took a lot of care in his breathing, for fear of hitting the gun.

Several guards were also shocked, and then they all showed an expression of not hearing anything.

Hu Yanshou stared at Lin Yanjiang tightly and said with a cold voice:

"Does he have a surefire in these speculations?"

Lin Yanjiang said: "It is not certain yet, but from all the signs, this possibility cannot be ruled out. If you investigate the case further, you may encounter resistance. It is very difficult to investigate it by relying on himself alone.

So he wanted to ask His Majesty to send some people to assist him and give him the right to act cheaply so that he can handle the case."

A major rebellion case may be enough.

Hu Yanshou had a calm face and said directly: "Give him a gold medal, let him walk in the capital, and then find out the progress, you can also go directly to the palace to report to me.

As for the manpower…”

Hu Yanshou thought for a moment and said, "Xiang Kun had arrived in the capital yesterday and has now taken office at the Demon Suppression Department. He and Li Xiuran are old acquaintances. When he was in Qingyun Mansion, he had handled cases together. He cooperated with him and had a tacit understanding. Let him lead the staff of his headquarters to assist Li Xiuran in handling cases together.

No matter who this case involves, I will investigate it to the end!"
