Chapter 40: Holding Jingo

"Ah Jian, come here." Princess Ma shouted at one of the guards outside the door.

The guard Ah Jian soon came to the front, bowed his hand, and said, "What does Madame command?" ”

Princess Ma glanced at Liu Yin and said to Ah Jian: "From tomorrow onwards, you will be the personal guard of the eldest prince, and you will protect him every step of the way. ”

"No!" Ah Jian did not have the slightest objection and gave up his promise.

Princess Ma said to Liu Yin with a smile: "Ah Jian is strong in martial arts and has unique skills, from tomorrow, he will protect you, so that my mother can rest assured." ”

It is definitely not an ordinary person who can make Princess Ma take such a fancy to it, Liu Yin couldn't help but glance at that Ah Jian. The body is as strong as an ox, Kong Wu is powerful, yes, this kind of physique can be regarded as a wrestler in the special forces of later generations, but Liu Yin noticed that his face shape is not very different from that of the Central Plains, the lines are very hard, like a knife sharpening an axe and chisel, and his deep eyes are clear.

"Ah Jian is a Qiang person, but he grew up in Mafu since he was a child, and he is very loyal." Princess Ma was a little surprised when she saw Liu Yin, and said with a smile, "I sent him to Hanzhong a few days ago to pay tribute to your grandfather, and he only came back today." Ah Jian's skills are extraordinary, ordinary masters can't get close to him even if they are three or five, and with him as your escort, my mother will feel at ease. ”

Liu Yin knew that Ma Chao was very prestigious among the Qiang people, and there was no shortage of Qiang guards around him, and this Ah Jian must also be a descendant of Ma Chao's Qiang guards back then, since Princess Ma arranged it like this, Liu Yin also gladly accepted it.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Yin got up as early as ever, a habit that he had developed for many years, and as usual, he had to run two laps and then play a set of punches.

But today, Liu Yin found that there was an extra tail behind him, and he followed Liu Yin not far behind, like a shadow.

Liu Yin smiled knowingly, it seems that the guard assigned to him by his mother is really loyal.

After breakfast, Liu Yin had just left the house, Ah Jian had already led the horse over, Liu Yin turned over and went straight to the lieutenant's mansion.

Most of the central government offices are located in the south of the imperial city, and there are three government offices on Kaiyang Street alone, the lieutenant's mansion is located in the middle, the east is the Dasi Nong Mansion, and the west is the Taichang Mansion.

The layout of the Lieutenant's Mansion is somewhat special, with one government and three courtyards, in the middle is the office of the chief of the Lieutenant's Mansion, the office of the lieutenant Zuo Cheng on the left, and Liu Yin's own office on the right.

Liu Yin did not go to Lieutenant Youcheng's office first, but first went to meet Zhijin Wu He Zeng.

He Zeng is already over sixty years old, and at this age, he is basically waiting for Zhishi, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, and suffering one day is one day. Yesterday, Lieutenant Youcheng Liu Xing was cut off by Liu Chan on the spot on Qingcheng Mountain and thrown into the prison, which really made He Zeng break out in a cold sweat, although the inspection affairs of Qingcheng Mountain were taken care of by Lieutenant Youcheng, but no matter how it was said, as a Shangguan, Zhi Jinwu also had an unshirkable leadership responsibility.

But fortunately, Liu Chan did not hold others accountable, which finally made He Zeng secretly relieved, but he still didn't know whether the emperor would not pursue it for the time being, or would this matter be settled? During this time, the emperor's temper has become moody, so why have you been careful, don't touch the emperor's mold again.

The new lieutenant Youcheng was designated by the emperor on the spot in Qingcheng Mountain, and I heard that it was Yulin Lang who had a meritorious role in saving the driver, and was specially named Lieutenant Youcheng by the emperor.

He has been floating and sinking in the sea for most of his life, and he has never heard of anyone who can jump from a small official of 400 stones to a position of more than 2,000 stones, but now the emperor is no longer playing cards according to common sense, and it is not known if there are any strange things happening.

What's more, this new lieutenant Youcheng is not an ordinary person, a member of the royal family, the Marquis of Baling, and the king of Anping who had been the king for a few years before, since he was appointed by the emperor, He Zeng naturally did not dare to slack off, and when he heard that Liu Yin came to visit, he first greeted him.

"Lord Youcheng is really young and promising, I heard that when the emperor was assassinated yesterday, Lord Liu sacrificed his life to save the driver, so as to ensure that the Son of Heaven is safe, and he is a real young hero!" Although He Zeng was prepared in his heart, he was still slightly taken aback when he saw Liu Yin so young.

"Lord He praised it falsely, as a courtier, the lord is in danger, and it is incumbent on him to shirk it, what merit?" Liu Yin was very humble and polite.

After sitting down in the hall, Liu Yin talked about yesterday's assassination, and said: "The assassin is so arrogant, Your Majesty is very angry, and the Lieutenant's Mansion solves the case within a time limit, captures the culprit, and the lower official is ordered to be in danger. ”

"This is the word teaching, and this official doesn't dare to take it. Since the Holy Lord appointed Lord Liu to host the case, the whole of the Lieutenant's Mansion should work together to coordinate Lord Liu, and this official is no exception. He Zeng only thought that he could be in peace, but he didn't want to be old and have a bad night, since the emperor had assigned Liu Yin to deal with this assassination incident, he had no intention of coming out.

Liu Yin also came here to find out He Zeng's tone, after all, He Zeng was his top boss, if he was hindered behind his back, it would invisibly bring him a lot of trouble.

But fortunately, it is obvious that this Lord He is knowledgeable, and he took the initiative to let Xian and hand over all the power to Liu Yin. But it's normal to think about it, it's almost the age of retirement, how can he never make it any longer to work hard, get by, eat and wait for death, maybe it's his best choice.

In He Zeng's office, Liu Yin also met Lieutenant Zuo Cheng Du Bi, Du Bi, who was in his forties, seemed to be in the prime of life, and I heard that he was a well-known military captain before, and he had penetrated into the enemy's interior and performed many miraculous feats, among which he was credited with plotting against Xiahou Ba.

However, Lieutenant Zuo Cheng and Lieutenant Right Cheng are the right-hand men of Zhi Jinwu, set up in parallel, and have no subordinates to each other, except for the exchange of intelligence, it is obvious that the left and right sides are subordinate to the two sets of teams respectively, and there is not much intersection, Liu Yin is also out of politeness and a few words with him, and then he said goodbye and left.

When they came to the official office of Lieutenant Youcheng, Feng Quan, Zhang Le, Zhao Zhuo and the officials of the official office had already arrived.

Zhang Le was still the same as always, seeing that Liu Yin had brought a famous guard with him, he said in a weird manner: "When Lord Youcheng first took office, the faction was really different, and he also brought a personal guard. That's right, I didn't bring a guard yesterday, how dangerous it was, but fortunately, the assassin's sword was stabbed, otherwise it's really hard to say if I can see you today. ”

Zhang Le's temper is clear to everyone, but on this occasion, Zhang Le actually didn't give the newly appointed Lord Youcheng a little face, and everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Yin, wanting to see how Liu Yin coped with it.
