Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

Lu Wen, who was standing by, quickly said to Lin Fan, "This is Lord Jiang, the Northern Pacification Envoy. Come and meet Lord Jiang."

It turned out that this middle-aged man was Jiang Bin, the Northern Pacification Envoy of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan bowed and clasped his fists in greeting, "Lin Fan, Captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, pays his respects to the Governor."

Jiang Bin smiled and said, "I heard that you were the one handling the Fuwei Escort Agency case this time? How's it going?"

Lin Fan said, "The case has been thoroughly investigated. The one who wiped out the entire Fuwei Escort Agency was someone from the Qingcheng Sect."

"Qingcheng Sect leader Yu Canghai resisted arrest and has been killed. All other members of the Qingcheng Sect involved in this case have been taken to the capital."

"Well done," Jiang Bin nodded, and then said, "The Fuwei Escort Agency has a set of sword techniques to ward off evil spirits. Can you retrieve the sword manual?"

Hearing this, Lin Fan glanced at Lu Wen.

Lu Wen's face changed slightly, and he quickly said: "Why are you looking at me? Lord Jiang asks you anything, you answer truthfully."

"Yes, sir," Lin Fan saluted Lu Wen and then said to Jiang Bin, "I found a cassock at the Lin family. It seems to contain the Sword Manual of Exorcism. However..."

Jiang Bin's eyes flickered, and he pressed on, "Just what?"

"It's just that someone erased a few words at the beginning of the Sword Manual of Exorcism. Please take a look, sir."

As he spoke, Lin Fan took out the Sword Manual of Exorcism from his bosom and handed it to Jiang Bin.

The eight characters in front of the Sword Manual of Exorcism were, of course, erased by Lin Fan himself.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion from high-ranking Jinyiwei officials such as Jiang Bin and Lu Wen, Lin Fan made up this half-true and half-false story.

Jiang Bin took the Sword Manual of Exorcism and looked through it carefully, and found that it was just as Lin Fan said, a few words at the beginning were erased.

Although the traces are not very obvious, some clues can still be seen.

However, what surprised Jiang Bin was that the content of this Sword Manual of Exorcism seemed to have no flaws.

Jiang Bin's eyes flickered as he said, "I'll personally take this Sword Manual of Exorcism and give it to the Commander. Is that okay?"

Lin Fan clasped his fists and said, "I had originally intended to submit this sword manual to Lord Lu, and then Lord Lu would submit it step by step."

Lu Wen said with a smile: "Master Jiang, this has saved me trouble, and I am naturally happy for it."

Jiang Bin nodded in satisfaction. "That's right, don't worry. I will mention your contributions to the commander-in-chief."

"Thank you, sir!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Wen and Lin Fan thanked him at the same time.

"Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first," Jiang Bin said, and left with the Sword Manual of Exorcism.

After Jiang Bin left, Lin Fan clasped his fists and said to Lu Wen, "Sir, I didn't realize the governor was also here. Please forgive me."

No matter where you are, it is taboo to act beyond your authority.

Although this was not Lin Fan's fault, this attitude had to be shown.

Lu Wen looked at Lin Fan deeply, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's not your fault."

After a pause, Lu Wen continued, "Do you know that a big thing happened recently?"

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "I just returned to the capital and immediately came to report to you about the Fuwei Escort Agency massacre. I don't know what the news is."

Lu Wen said, "The commander of the Jinyiwei has been replaced. The previous commander, Shi Yi, was reported for colluding with foreign enemies, and the evidence was irrefutable. He was sentenced to death along with his entire clan."

Lin Fan was also a little surprised when he heard this and asked curiously, "I wonder which lord was promoted to the new commander?"

"Master Qian Ning, the Deputy Commander, has been promoted to the new Commander of the Imperial Guard. The position of Deputy Commander has become vacant, and Master Jiang also wants to move up."

Lin Fan immediately said, "Thank you for your guidance, sir. With Lord Jiang's promotion, the position of Northern Pacification Commissioner will be vacant. I wish you all the best in your promotion."

"It's difficult, unless you make another great contribution," Lu Wen shook his head slightly and waved his hand.

"Alright, you can go now. The Fuwei Escort Agency massacre case has been closed. Those people from the Qingcheng Sect don't need to be imprisoned. All of them will have their cultivation abolished and be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for punishment."

"I obey my orders!"

Lin Fan clasped his fists in greeting, then bowed and walked out.

Following Lu Wen's request, Lin Fan abolished the cultivation of all the people from the Qingcheng Sect and handed them over to the Ministry of Justice.

This mission ends here.

After completing the mission, Lin Fan regained his free time. Every day, apart from reporting for duty at the Northern Pacification Office, he would practice with peace of mind.

In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.

On this day, Lin Fan had just finished reporting for duty at the Northern Pacification Office when someone came to tell him that Captain Lu had summoned him.

"I see you, my lord!"

After seeing Lu Wen, Lin Fan clasped his fists and bowed.

There is no way, people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

"Congratulations, you've been promoted again," Lu Wen smiled, and then said, "Lord Jiang has been promoted directly from the Northern Pacification Envoy to the position of Commander-in-Chief after a fierce competition."

"You have also contributed to this. Therefore, Lord Jiang has made a simple move and promoted you to Deputy Captain. From now on, you are Lord Jiang's man, and even I can't afford to offend you."

Lin Fan quickly said, "I have to thank Lord Lu for giving me this opportunity. I will always be Lord Lu's man."

"Haha, I hope so." Lu Wen nodded with satisfaction after hearing Lin Fan's words, and then said, "Here is the appointment letter, new clothes and the Embroidered Spring Sword. Someone will send them to you later."

After saying that, Lu Wen handed a document of appointment to Lin Fan.

"Thank you, sir!"

Lin Fan took the appointment document and thanked him audibly.

"Okay, go down!" Lu Wen waved his hand and said casually.

"Subordinates resign!"

Lin Fan clasped his fists, bowed, and slowly retreated.

Got promoted to a higher level, not bad!

Lin Fan looked at the appointment document in his hand and thought secretly in his heart.

When everyone in the Qianhu Office learned that Lin Fan had been promoted again, they were all envious.

Lin Fan has only been in the Imperial Guard for a short time, and his promotion speed is a bit too fast.

There were also well-informed people who learned that Lin Fan had now joined the commanding general Jiang Bin, so although they were envious and jealous, they did not dare to jump out and cause trouble.

Peaceful times always pass quickly.

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

Lin Fan practiced hard for more than a month, but only managed to increase the Qi in his body slightly.

If you continue at this pace, you won’t be able to break through to the middle stage of Grandmaster in four or five years.

"Master Lin, Master Lu needs you to come over for something."

That day, Lin Fan was practicing in his office when a respectful voice came from outside the door.

Lin Fan raised his brows slightly, ended his training, and went directly to Lu Wen.

After Lin Fan arrived, he found that not only Lu Wen was there, but Jiang Bin was also there.

"I, Lin Fan, pay my respects to Master Jiang and Master Lu!"

Lin Fan saluted the two of them.

Jiang Bin smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. I'm here to bring you credit. Of course, I also need you to show some ability."

Lin Fan clasped his fists and said, "Whatever your Excellency commands, I will do my utmost to fulfill it."

Jiang Bin looked at Lin Fan's attitude, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "The Jinyiwei have received news that there is a priceless treasure in Jingzhou. Go and investigate."

"If you can find the treasure, it will be a great achievement. Then I will recommend you for a promotion. No one will be able to say anything."

As soon as Jiang Bin finished speaking, Lu Wen immediately said, "Thank you for giving us this opportunity, my lord. I will do my best to find the treasure."

Lin Fan also said: "I will definitely not let you down!"

[Ding! Triggering the sign-in mission. Please go to Tianning Temple to sign in. The sign-in reward is unknown!]

At this moment, the familiar voice of the system sounded again in Lin Fan's mind.
