Chapter 401: Fear
After Zhao Mo read out the holy decree asking him to cooperate with the arrest of the bandits in Guanyin Mountain, Wang Dingguo only felt that he was about to lose his breath, and he almost collapsed to the ground. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
That's a bandit who has been entrenched in Guanyin Mountain for more than 20 years, and can compete with the military strength of the entire Xichuan Mansion, tyrannical and wanton, killing people without blinking, Zhao Miao, no, it was Emperor Taixi who actually asked him to suppress the bandits?!
Isn't this a clear plan to send him to death!
No way!
He must not go in person!
If you want to go, it should be Liu Shi who goes!
Yeah!
Guanyin Mountain is at the junction of Honghe County and Shanghe County, to exterminate these bandits, of course, Liu Zhi needs to take the lead!
Just take the opportunity to teach this proud and lawless boy who thinks he is a saint!
Wang Dingguo felt that he had finally calmed down, and just as he wanted to speak, Zhao Mo had already spoken: "What the saint means is that since Lord Wang is the parent official of Xichuan Mansion, he should think of the people and take the lead in pulling out the tumor of the Guanyin Mountain bandits, so as to ensure the smooth development and success of this clean-up operation." ”
Of course, Emperor Taixi didn't say this explicitly in the holy decree, but Zhao Mo looked down on Wang Dingguo's cowardly and bullying pus-filled appearance, and specially interpreted it to scare him.
Of course, as the highest administrator of Xichuan Prefecture, if Wang Dingguo can fully cooperate, the operation to suppress the bandits will inevitably go much smoother.
As for victory, Zhao Mian never doubted that it belonged to him!
This is not only the pride of his few defeats in the army for many years, but also his confidence after this careful defense.
All Wang Dingguo's prevarication words were blocked in his throat, and he didn't dare to spit it out, and he was unwilling to swallow it.
After a long time, Wang Dingguo mustered up the courage to quibble: "However, Guanyin Mountain is located at the junction of Honghe County and Shanghe County, and the lower officials sit in the capital city, and they have rarely set foot in it, so they don't know much about the situation, and they are afraid that it will be difficult to be a holy will." According to Xia Guan, it is better to let the two magistrates of Honghe County and Shanghe County cooperate with this action to clear the Guanyin Mountain bandits, they understand the situation and want to do things to definitely get twice the result with half the effort! ”
In order not to let Zhao Mo see that he was taking the opportunity to retaliate against Liu Shi, Wang Dingguo deliberately brought Liangshan, anyway, the two of them are in-laws and have a great friendship, and those things that Liu Zhi did, without Liangshan, a local on the side, giving advice or instigating him, I am afraid that it will not be so smooth.
There is nothing wrong with taking the opportunity to remove two melons on a vine!
Wang Dingguo didn't know that Zhao Miao's most famous ability to "know people with one ear" was not to bluff people out of his words, but it was true.
What's more, Zhao Mian has been incognito and disguised as a merchant in Honghe County for so long, but he all relies on Liu Shi's secret help. After a year of friendship with Liu Zhi, Zhao Mianyan would not know the idea between Wang Dingguo and Liu Zhi.
Therefore, at a glance, Zhao Mo knew Wang Dingguo's intention to take revenge for personal gain.
"It's nature!" Zhao Mian took the opportunity to say, "Liu Zhixian and Liang Zhixian, as local parent officials, are of course duty-bound in the matter of clearing out the bandits in Guanyin Mountain!" ”
Wang Dingguo's heart was relieved, and then he spit out halfway in one breath, and then listened to Zhao Mian solemnly:
"It's just that, Lord Wang, as the prefect of Xichuan, has you, where is the turn to get the two of them to be the little prefect! Isn't this a distinction between the inferior and inferior, messing up the discipline! ”
Zhao Mo pretended not to think so, he didn't mind holding Wang Dingguo higher at this time, so that the other party could ride the tiger.
When Wang Dingguo heard this at first glance, he was first happy in his heart, and when he understood the meaning behind Zhao Miao's words to let him take the lead and charge, he suddenly felt cold.
Regardless of dignity and inferiority, disturbing discipline is a serious crime!
It's not something that a small prefect can afford!
At this time, Wang Dingguo had the intention to refute the prevarication, and he couldn't think of a suitable excuse and wording for a while.
"Okay, the official has other important things to do, and the will of the Holy One has been delivered, so I will leave." Zhao Mo arched his hand and said, "By the way, before leaving, the official still has something to tell Lord Wang. This matter is the will of the Holy Lord to clear out the bandits in Guanyin Mountain, and the stakes are very high, and before everything is ready, please keep it a secret and cooperate carefully. ”
When he spoke, Zhao Mo was solemn and solemn, and the arrogance and majesty of the perennial battlefield conquest made Wang Dingguo's heart tremble.
To put it bluntly, Wang Dingguo can have today, all thanks to the blessing that Emperor Taixi has not yet freed up his hands to completely rectify the rule of the frontier officials! Otherwise, how could a person like him who was inactive and had a vegetarian diet be able to achieve the high position of the prefect of a prefecture!
Wang Dingguo saw that Zhao Mi had made a final decision, so he had to force a smile and respond, and eagerly kept Zhao Mi to stay for a banquet, planning to wait for an opportunity to push Liu Shi, a nasty ghost, to the front and charge ahead.
"Thank you, Lord Wang, for your kindness." Zhao Mo bowed his hand and politely refused, "It's just that the holy order is in my body, and I don't dare to slack off." This feast and drink should wait until after the matter is completed, when the time is celebrated! Leave! ”
Wang Dingguo heard the vigilance in Zhao Miao's words, worried that he noticed the dissatisfaction and cowardice that he was trying to hide, and his heart was even more worried, so he hurriedly returned the salute and bowed respectfully to send Zhao Mi all the way out of the mansion.
The master who was hiding on the side saw that Zhao Mo had gone away, so he stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "My lord, who is this adult, I don't know what he is doing with the adult?" ”
Although the master is Wang Dingguo's confidant, his status is too low, and he has followed Wang Dingguo to serve abroad all the year round, so how can he have the opportunity to meet a first-class celebrity like Emperor Taixi like Zhao Miao.
Now seeing that Wang Dingguo, who has always been proud and arrogant, is so respectful to Zhao Miao, the master is naturally curious, and he can't help but ask.
Wang Dingguo was holding back his stomach full of resentment and had nowhere to vent, and when he saw that the master himself had hit the muzzle of the gun, he couldn't help but scold: "Do you want to report to your master when you see someone!" Stupid thing! If you don't get out of here, do what you have to do! ”
The master was scolded by Wang Dingguo and was stunned on the spot, and after a while, he came back to his senses, his face was blue and red for a while, and he retreated in a hurry.
Thinking that he has been flattering Wang Dingguo for many years, although he can't say that he has won Wang Dingguo's full trust, but he usually asks so curiously that he still has this dignity, and now he was scolded by Wang Dingguo before he came out, it can be seen that the identity and status of the person who came this time are not ordinary, and the things he said are not what Wang Dingguo wants, so Wang Dingguo vented his anger on him.
The master was curious on the one hand, and afraid on the other, and he easily did not dare to inquire about this matter again.
Sometimes, it's safe to be uninformed.
After many years of professional career, the master has long analyzed this. (To be continued.) )
