Yujing City, Tianyuan Street, Garrison Office, Minghua Hall.
All the junior officials of the Garrison Office and the two junior officials of the Day Patrol Office and the Night Patrol Office were present. The three senior officials of the Garrison Office also sat in the main hall at the top, holding a jade cup in his hand with tea smoke curling up.
"That's what happened." Sanxu Shangqing took a sip of his immortal tea, then looked at the junior officials present and said, "We are responsible for the defense of Yujing City. Yujing's 30 million li Jingzhao area is not under our jurisdiction, so this matter has little to do with us, but it's also not insignificant."
Junior Minister Feng Ling asked, "Shang Qing, didn't the Jingzhao Yamen say who killed the Prince of Jingshan Dao?"
Sanxu Shangqing said, "They are also investigating, but they don't know either."
Yufu Shaoqing said, "This is troublesome. The Second Young Master and the Crown Prince of Jingshan Dao Kingdom have both been killed. Daoist Master Taixu will not let this go."
Shaoqing Longsheng asked, "Could the murder of Prince Yunhao be related to Yundan's death?"
Upon hearing this, all the junior ministers present looked at each other in bewilderment, while Senior Minister Sanxu, having just put down his teacup, said, "This is what I want to warn you about. Don't talk nonsense or make random guesses, whether in private or in public. Remember that."
The junior ministers all bowed and said, "Yes, Lord."
Then, Sanxu Shangqing continued, "The Council has issued an edict, ordering me to go there at 3 p.m. to discuss matters. I called you here early to warn you. Also, the two Junior Officials of the Day Patrol and Night Patrol, your tasks are particularly heavy. Yujing City will not be peaceful for the next two days. You must be extremely vigilant and avoid any chaos."
Fang Jian nodded and replied, "Yes, Lord."
Gu Zhenqing said with a worried look on his face, "Shangqing, I'm afraid our Japanese Patrol Office isn't strong enough. Could you please dispatch some personnel?"
Sanxu Shangqing frowned and said, "Captain Gu and Captain Fang haven't complained at all."
Gu Zhenqing said, "How can I compare with him? Shangshang, if you don't assign me more people, I'm afraid my Daily Patrol Office won't be able to handle the daytime patrols."
Sanxu Shangqing sighed and said, "Then I'll allocate a thousand soldiers from the Garrison Office to you for temporary use."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhenqing immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "I thank you for your care, Your Excellency."
Sanxu Shangqing waved his hand, and Gu Zhenqing immediately sat down. Then Sanxu Shangqing asked Fang Jian, "Captain Fang, do you need anyone else?"
Fang Jian shook his head and smiled, "No need. Our 1,000 soldiers are more than enough to keep Yujing City peaceful at night."
Sanxu Shangqing nodded slightly, then pointed at Fang Jian and said to the other officials, "Everyone should learn from Captain Fang. They should be capable, courageous, and dare to take action. This is the pillar of our Dao Court."
When the young officials heard this, they nodded in agreement with forced smiles, and looked at Fang Jian with a hint of displeasure.
Gu Zhenqing agreed and said, "Captain Fang is indeed a capable official. I sincerely admire him."
Fang Jian laughed and said, "No, no, it's all thanks to the wise leadership of Sanxu Shangqing. I, Fang Jian, am just learning from him."
Sanxu Shangqing laughed heartily, feeling extremely relieved. This Fang Jian was not only good at doing things, but also good at talking. He really liked him more and more. He was a real talent.
After saying this, the cheerful Sanxu Shangqing waved his hand and said, "Later, each of you will go to the storehouse to collect the 100,000 dusts of great power, which will be used as the funds for your respective prefectures in the coming period."
Upon hearing this, the ministers who were originally unhappy with Fang Jian were immediately overjoyed. No praise could be as substantial as this great trend of 100,000 dusts.
Then all the ministers, including Gu Zhenqing and Fang Jian, stood up and bowed to Minister Sanxu for thanks.
Afterwards, Sanxu Shangqing made some arrangements for the various offices and courtyards in the garrison, then announced the adjournment of the meeting and took the imperial carriage to the conference platform.
It was already past 3 p.m. when Fang Jian and the others went to the treasury to receive the 100,000 dust forces. On the way out of the garrison, Gu Zhenqing kept praying that the news of Prince Yun Hao's murder would spread slowly, giving him some time to prepare.
Seeing him looking like he was facing a formidable enemy, Fang Jian couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why are you so scared?"
Gu Zhenqing said, "Brother Fang, you'll soon know why. I remember something like this happened tens of thousands of years ago, and now it's happening again. Yujing City is going to be in chaos for a while."
After saying this, Gu Zhenqing turned to Fang Jian and said, "Brother, you go back first. I still need to go and collect the 1,000 soldiers that Sanxu Shangqing assigned to me."
"Okay." Fang Jian nodded, then separated from Gu Zhenqing and returned to the Night Patrol Mansion.
After Fang Jian returned to the Night Patrol Mansion, he found that the news of the murder of Prince Yun Hao had not yet spread, so he summoned all eleven ministers of the Night Patrol Mansion to Changyou Palace and told them about the murder of Prince Yun Hao.
Upon hearing this news, the ministers were extremely shocked. Su Kuang said seriously, "This is troublesome. Yujing City is going to be in chaos."
"Who will cause chaos?" Fang Jian asked.
Su Kuang said: "People from all countries, especially those from the Pure Good Dao Nation in Yujing City, will definitely come out to ask the Dao Court for an explanation."
Fang Jian frowned and said, "It wasn't the Dao Court who killed him."
"But he was killed within the 30 million li jurisdiction of Yujing, which is within the scope of 'Jingzhao'." Su Kuang said.
Fang Jian heard this, and after a moment's silence, he asked the ministers, "Can you handle this?"
Su Kuang said: "It was definitely not possible before, and we needed to ask for support from the Garrison Office, but now there is no problem, but there may still be times when you, the Captain, will need to come forward."
Fang Jian said, "Don't worry about this. I will be on high alert with you until this matter has passed."
Upon hearing this, Su Kuang and the others were shocked, and then they all bowed to Fang Jian with full respect, saying, "Captain, you are wise."
