Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Chapter 224 Major Reshuffle at Lingjiu Palace

They finally understood why the palace master had summoned them all at this time. It turned out he had brought them here to intimidate them.

How could they dare to have any disloyal thoughts? He had heard about the traitor's fate; he wasn't just beaten to death with a single blow.

Moreover, all of his internal energy was absorbed by this terrifying palace master.

They were all terrified by the traitor's death, while also worrying about their own lives. They wondered if this palace master was as capricious and ruthless as Tianshan Tonglao.

However, this palace master is even more terrifying than Tianshan Tonglao, and her methods are more sophisticated.

Lin Yaoxie glanced at the group and said to them, "Let me tell you, the reason I've gathered you here today isn't just to host a banquet for you all."

"Furthermore, I will reorganize the management of all these branch offices, appointing the capable and requiring the incompetent to step down as soon as possible."

Upon hearing Lin Yaoxie's words, the people below became even more terrified. This time, they were going to undergo a major overhaul.

These people have been leaders under the Heavenly Child Granny for a long time, but it seems their positions are in jeopardy this time.

This new palace master is going to make a big splash in his new role and start cleaning up the place.

In fact, Lin Yaoxie had already discussed this with the four swordsmen Mei Lan Zhu Ju and Granny Yu, and they were all very familiar with the leaders of these branches.

I have already told Lin Yaoxie about their detailed information and some information about their subordinates.

After careful study, Lin Yaoxie replaced all the leaders who needed to be replaced.

Instead, Lin Yaoxie trusted some of the managers of Lingjiu Palace, and he even recommended the four swordsmen, Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum.

Lin Yaoxie felt even more at ease after making them the leaders of the branches.

Although Lin Yaoxie had not been in Lingjiu Palace for long, he had not actually stayed there for very long.

However, he knew in his heart that the four swordsmen, Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum, were loyal to him and would never betray Lingjiu Palace.

Therefore, he replaced some key leaders in various departments, especially those in the major branches, with the "Four Swords"—Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum—to lead them.

In Lingjiu Palace, when he was not there, Granny Yu and several of his capable subordinates would be stationed there.

After Lin Yaoxie ordered his men to announce this decision, he replaced all the people who needed to be replaced and punished those who needed to be punished.

These people felt like the sky had fallen; they never expected it to be a trap.

This palace master's methods are truly extraordinary. They are controlled within this Lingjiu Palace, let alone wanting to rebel.

Whether we can even get out of here alive is a question now, so how could we dare to have any other thoughts?

As for the four swordsmen, Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum, they actually only wanted to stay in Lingjiu Palace and didn't want to become leaders of any of those branch 5.5.

However, Lin Yaoxie had already appointed them as leaders, and they had no choice but to obey. They had no option but to accept the order.

She knelt down and said to Lin Yaoxie, "This servant swears to be loyal to the palace master to the death. Lingjiu Palace will never have any disloyal intentions."

Lin Yaoxie said to them, "Stand up. I know the loyalty of the Four Swordsmen—Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum—to me, Lin Yaoxie, and to Lingjiu Palace."

Chapter 225 Rectifying the Lingjiu Palace

"Do your jobs well. With you guarding those branches, I will feel very reassured."

Lin Yaoxie later said to Boss Wu, "Boss Wu, in view of your intention to come and rescue Lingjiu Palace this time, you have been appointed as the leader of a branch."

"Although your rescue attempt was unsuccessful, I, Lin Yaoxie, appreciate your efforts, so you may accept the mission."

Upon hearing this, Boss Wu was overjoyed, feeling that his previous decision had been incredibly wise.

Last time, he was still hesitating there, wondering whether or not to come and meet the people from Lingjiu Palace.

However, he ultimately decided to go to Lingjiu Palace to rescue them, and unexpectedly, this time he successfully bet on a winning streak.

The reward that Lin Yaoxie bestowed upon him was truly exceptional.

He has received a great favor.

As soon as Lin Yaoxie finished speaking, Wu Laoda knelt down and said to Lin Yaoxie, "Thank you for your kindness, Palace Master. From now on, I will be loyal to you and will definitely serve you and Lingjiu Palace. You can rest assured, I will take care of things here."

After this banquet ended, some were happy while others were sad!

After Lin Yaoxie's meticulous planning, he replaced all the leaders in the Lingjiu Palace with his own trusted confidants.

Only then did he feel relieved and officially announce the start of the banquet.

Those branch leaders who had already been removed could only resign themselves to their fate.

Since they didn't have the ability to make Lin Yaoxie choose them, they also didn't have the ability to dare to betray their Lingjiu Palace.

Those who had never seen Lin Yaoxie before finally met him in person today.

Lin Yaoxie is not only decisive in his actions, but also exceptionally brave and resourceful.

Lin Yaoxie is now considered a figure at the forefront of the martial arts world.

He wouldn't even bother becoming the leader of the martial arts alliance, let alone this small Lingjiu Palace.

Most of the people from the branches who were invited to attend this time were women.

Some young girls, seeing how handsome and dashing their palace master was, were all captivated by Lin Yaoxie's charm.

A few individuals harbored such thoughts, hoping to join forces with Lin Yaoxie to cultivate a relationship.

Upon seeing Lin Yaoxie's cold and aloof face, he felt a chill run down his spine and quickly retreated, swallowing all his thoughts.

Thus, the banquet was considered a success. After it ended, the four swordsmen, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, along with Boss Wu, all went to take up their new posts.

When the four swordsmen, Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum, were leaving, they were still crying and sobbing, not wanting to leave Lingjiu Palace or Lin Yaoxie.

But there was nothing they could do; Lin Yaoxie had already frightened them into giving the order, so they had no choice but to comply.

453 Lin Yaoxie comforted them, saying, "If you want to come back to Lingjiu Palace, you can come back anytime to visit."

"When the time comes, Lin Yaoxie will definitely treat them well."

Upon hearing this, the four swordsmen, Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum, left the place with great joy.

He said he would definitely come back to Lingjiu Palace to see Lin Yaoxie and Granny Yu when he had time.

With the banquet now concluded successfully, the internal and external troubles within Lingjiu Palace can be considered resolved.

Lin Yaoxie and Duan Yu stayed in Lingjiu Palace for a few days, but they got bored and wanted to continue their adventures in the martial world.

Chapter 226 Duan Yu is going to choose a prince consort again.

Their first destination was to go to Western Xia to find Xu Zhu.

They knew that Xu Zhu had returned to Western Xia and gone to be his son-in-law.

At this time, his mother, who was with him, must be living a happy and joyful life with that Meng Gu.

They had already made a promise to go to Xixia to find Xuzhu, and they wanted to visit Qiao Feng and his wife together in the border region.

On the very day before they were to set off, Duan Yu's father, Prince Duan's, guards found them and brought Duan Yu a letter.

Duan Yu opened the letter and took a closer look. He was surprised to find that the Xixia Yipintang had sent another invitation to Dali.

The idea is to send Duan Yu to Western Xia again to compete for the title of Western Xia prince consort.

Lin Yaoxie and Duan Yu were both puzzled. Didn't they both go there to compete for the title of imperial consort?

Why is she running for the position of imperial consort again? Last time, the princess was actually Xu Zhu's Meng Gu.

Which princess is it this time? Another princess is choosing a husband. There are so many princesses in Western Xia.

Lin Yaoxie thought to himself, "Has the plot already been changed by them? Impossible!"

Last time, when they were choosing a consort, they asked Xu Zhu to take his place. However, Xu Zhu's dream girl discovered that he was his dream lover, so the two of them got together from then on.

Where did this Western Xia princess come from, choosing a husband again? And she's sending Duan Yu to do it.

At this point, Duan Yu was in a dilemma again, muttering to Lin Yaoxie, "Master, what should we do? Why do we have to choose a consort again?"

“Last time, my second brother went there, and unexpectedly, it really was his dream girl, so they had a happy marriage.”

"And who should I ask this time to run for the prince consort in my place? I don't want to go."

"Because I'm completely devoted to Miss Wang, I have no desire to become a prince consort in that Western Xia."

The guard next to Duan Yu told him that their prince had told their heir.

We must go to Western Xia to compete for the position of imperial son-in-law, because it is related to the relationship between Western Xia and Dali.

This put Duan Yu in an even more difficult position. What should he do if he absolutely had to go?

He looked at Lin Yaoxie with a helpless expression, and Lin Yaoxie could only say to him, "Then let's go, your master will go with you, and we'll see what they have to offer."

"If you don't like that princess, Duan Yu, we don't have to force you to marry her."

After hearing Lin Yaoxie's words, Duan Yu felt more confident and said to Lin Yaoxie, "Thank you, Master. I feel much more at ease knowing you're coming with me."

Lin Yao chuckled wickedly and said, "Have you forgotten where we were going? We were going to Xixia to find Xuzhu, weren't we? This is just a convenient stop along the way."

Duan Yu then remembered and said to Lin Yaoxie with a smile, "Master, I really forgot about this matter. I was just worried about that princess."

“We’re going to Western Xia anyway to find my second brother, so let’s make this trip, okay?”

After Duan Yu dismissed the guards of Prince Duan, he told the guard that he would definitely go to Western Xia and that his father could rest assured.

Only after hearing Duan Yu's words did the guard feel relieved and leave.

Lin Yaoxie and the other two were studying the matter when they left the Lingjiu Palace and headed west.

After touring the Lingjiu Palace, Lin Yaoxie felt that there was nothing left for him to worry about.

Chapter 227 An Accidental Encounter with Zhong Ling on the Road

So he said to Granny Yu, "I want to leave here and travel for a while. I need to be away from here for a while."

Grandma Yu wanted to persuade him to manage the affairs of Lingjiu Palace properly.

But she knew that their palace master was not one to sit idle; once he made up his mind, no one could change it.

Granny Yu could only say to Lin Yaoxie, "Then Palace Master, have a safe journey. After you've had your fun, hurry back to Lingjiu Palace. This is your home."

"All I can do for you is to manage Lingjiu Palace well in the rest of your life, and to manage these things within it."

"My health has been deteriorating over the years. If you've had enough fun, please come back to 453."

Lin Yaoxie said to Granny Yu, "Granny Yu, you are the best. I feel most at ease leaving this place in your care. Don't worry, Granny Yu, I will definitely come back here to keep you company after I've had my fun." So Lin Yaoxie took Duan Yu, packed up, and set off with some silver.

Lin Yaoxie is now a rich man. He owns the entire Lingjiu Palace, and of course, all the treasures in the Lingjiu Palace belong to him.
