Li Ze finally met Bai Mingli himself.

In the past, he was just a figure who existed in intelligence, but now he stood alive in front of Li Ze. A thin, dry and inconspicuous little old man, half a head shorter than Li Ze, his hair was a little thin, and his long beard was neatly trimmed and extremely well maintained. The cheekbones on his face are prominent, and his eye sockets are a little deep, and when he smiles, his whole eye narrows into a slit. The corners of his mouth are always raised, which makes everyone think that he is smiling when they see his face from any angle.

seems to be kind, but in fact he is ruthless, long-sleeved and good at dancing, and he is a real person.

Li Ze knew very well that people like Bai Mingli were much more difficult to deal with than people like Zhu Shou. Zhu Shou is the enemy on the surface, the armies fight each other, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain. But people like Bai Mingli are rooted at the bottom, the iron-clad battalion and flowing soldiers, no matter how many people come and go, these lowest-level officials basically live here all their lives.

The Bai family, which has been operated for several generations, will inevitably be a major obstacle to the expansion of Yixing Society in the future, and Li Ze knows this very well. But now, he wants to welcome this guy who has defected to him with 120,000 enthusiasm.

Affectionately took Bai Mingli's hand and walked into the lobby side by side with him, and the Yizhou generals who were gathered together all paid their curious looks to this little old man.

To put it in my heart, these people are still very grateful to this little old man, if it weren't for his backlash, they would certainly be able to fight down Cangxian, but it's hard to say how much they lost.

"Come on, come on, everyone knows our great hero, Mr. Bai Mingli Bai of Cangxian County." Li Ze laughed heartily and introduced Bai Mingli to everyone.

In the lobby, everyone, including Cao Xin, clasped their fists in salute Bai Mingli.

Bai Mingli's face flushed, and he hurriedly bowed to return the salute.

Li Ze sat on the big chair that originally belonged to Zhu Shou. A chair on the left side of the lower head is for Cao Xin.

"Li Mi, prepare a chair for Mr. Bai too." Li Ze pointed to the right.

"Little old man doesn't dare, little old man doesn't dare!" Bai Mingli was a little at a loss and resigned again and again.

Li Zedao: "Mr. Bai is the first meritorious hero today, he deserves this reward, there is no need to refuse, if the old gentleman resigns, how can these generals below be rewarded calmly, don't you say?" ”

Bai Mingli sat down a little helplessly.

"Little Lao'er should have dedicated the city to his son a long time ago, but it is already a crime to drag it out to this day." This thousand-year-old fox instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find anything wrong, so he could only talk about him left and right.

"No, the time is just right, too early to not necessarily succeed, too late, then our casualties will be large, and the fruits of victory will be discounted." Li Ze smiled and said authentically. "Mr. Bai's grasp of the timing is perfect."

Bai Mingli, who sat down helplessly, was uneasy in his heart, as a great hero, he should have opened his arms happily to accept his reward, but as soon as he sat here, he was watched by the generals with shiny armor below, and he suddenly had a feeling of being stripped of his clothes.

Zhu Shou is dead. No matter how fast he escaped, he didn't ride as fast as the Chengde wolf. Less than twenty miles after escaping Cangxian, he was chased by Min Rou, for the sake of being a local marshal, Min Rou left him a whole corpse.

"Childe, Zhu Shou has been ambushed, and his adult eldest son and second son were also killed in the battle, and now his family members and some young children left in the city, what should be done?" Cao Xin asked.

Li Ze smiled and turned to look at Bai Mingli: "Bai Gong, what do you say about this?" ”

Bai Mingli was a little stunned, looked at Li Ze, and pondered for a while before gritting his teeth and saying: "The remnants of the Zhu thief should naturally be killed and killed, leaving no trouble." ”

"That's it!" Li Ze leaned back and said compassionately: "Here, how old are the dolls, how many are Zhu Shou's grandsons?" It's still in swaddling clothes, and I can't bear to kill it. ”

Speaking of this, he stepped forward and said to Cao Xin: "Gong Cao, these women, children and young sons, ask them if they have a place to go, if so, give them some money for the journey, let them go, no one can stop them, embarrassed." ”

"Childe is benevolent." Cao Xin said: "My subordinates understand. ”

Bai Mingli's face changed slightly, and he quickly lowered his head, his first suggestion was refuted so mercilessly, and he couldn't help but feel a little frightened in his heart, is the little boy testing himself?

"The second matter is that the officials of the Henghai Festival envoy and the officials under the rule of Cangxian County have basically been detained outside, and the disposal of these people is also for the son." Cao Xin continued.

Li Ze once again looked at Bai Mingli.

Bai Mingli panicked, and the feeling of uneasiness came to his mind again.

Sure enough, Li Ze spoke again: "These people are all Cangxian officials, Mr. Bai knows them very well, but we don't know very well, this matter, let's leave it to Mr. Bai to do, whether to kill or punish, whether to expel or retain, it will be decided by Mr. Bai in a word." ”

Without waiting for Bai Mingli to prevaricate, Cao Xin already clapped his hands and praised: "This is very good, I am embarrassed." I am afraid that I have wronged the good people, and I am worried that I have indulged the bad people, and we have not too much time to delay, and we must solve it quickly. Come, and bring the prisoners to the hall in groups of ten. ”

Seeing those former Henghai officials who were escorted to the court, Bai Mingli's heart was cold, these people are basically locals! To say that Li Ze doesn't know about these people, Bai Mingli really doesn't believe it, Yixingtang has dealt with these people a lot over the years!

The reason why this is done is nothing more than a means to suppress oneself. And it seems that he still appreciates himself incomparably, giving himself the power to kill and kill.

But this right is really stinging.

A small table was set up before Li Ze's big case, and the helpless Bai Mingli acted as a temporary judge. Li Ze behind him flipped through the files in a hurry, and Bai Mingli even felt that what Li Ze was looking at was the detailed files of these people. If he really wants to make a random judgment, Li Ze will not do anything to himself now, but in the future, it will be difficult to say.

Gritting teeth, being cross-hearted, is there any other way now? The left and right people are going to be offended, so it is better to be the master of the sky according to the real evidence.

Even if he will lose his reputation because of this, even if many of his relationships will end because of this, he can't care about it. Chengde's little son is extremely powerful, since he has to clean up his thoughts, then he had better be honest.

As an old official, Bai Mingli is familiar with the law, and as the head snake of Cangxian County, he knows everyone's privacy and lawlessness well. Some of the crimes were dragged down and beheaded in court, some were innocent and exonerated on the spot, and more of them were the kind of gray and non-slippery, you said he was black, not counted, you said he was white, but he was stained with dirt on his body, these people, Bai Mingli took a variety of different punishments, corporal punishment and fines at the same time.

The series of interrogations dazzled the generals in the hall, and they all secretly sighed that this Bai Mingli was really a talent.

After the last person was taken down, Bai Mingli was also pale and stood up and bowed to Li Ze as if he had a serious illness, "I don't know what else does Gongzi think is wrong?" ”

"No, no, Mr. Bai handled it very well, if we come to trial one by one, I don't know if it will be finished in the Year of the Monkey." Li Ze laughed: "Gong Cao, these innocent officials who were acquitted in court should be reused, and those who are guilty but not too serious can be used selectively, and we must also give them the opportunity to make meritorious contributions and atone for their crimes." ”

Cao Xin smiled and nodded.

"Mr. Bai, look at your neat and tidy way of trying the case, you are really a talent, Gong Cao, a few days ago, didn't you tell me that you lack a general judgment in Yizhou, I think this son is none other than Mr. Bai, what does Gong Cao think of Mr. Bai?" Li Ze smiled like a flower.

"I can't ask for it, but I don't know if Mr. Bai is willing to give in?" Cao Xin looked at Bai Mingli with a smile.

What can Bai Mingli say?

After the previous mess, he already understood what Li Ze meant, if he didn't follow Li Ze's meaning, where would Zhu Shou's fate be!

"Thank you for the promotion, it's just that the little old man hasn't been an official yet, so I'm afraid that I will lose my son's love." Bai Mingli bowed.

"You're much better than most officials. As long as you want to do well, you will definitely be able to do it well. Li Ze said quietly: "When you go to Jingzhou, as long as you are honest, a person like Cao Gong will never treat you badly." ”

"Yes!"

"Bethuren I like him very much, so I will leave him by my side to be a personal defender, and wait until I have experienced a period of time before I release him to run for a good future. You and your eldest son have left Cangxian, so let the second son, Bai Qiuyi, take care of his family and take care of the courtyard in Cangxian. Li Ze continued.

"Thank you Childe for your attention!" Bai Mingli bent down deeply. Li Ze's operation made him speechless, in the eyes of outsiders, his Bai family, but they were all reused by Li Ze, he was even more from a grass people, a former small official, to become the general judge of a state, that is an important person in a state, that is the base camp of Li Ze's start, is he still not satisfied?

Only Bai Mingli himself, but he knows what he will lose!

Of course, Li Ze didn't care about Bai Mingli's thoughts. If you have merit, you have already been rewarded, but if you have a sin in the future, you will naturally be punished.

At this moment, he was standing in Zhu Shou's private warehouse, smiling extremely happily.

He was too lazy to go to the public treasury, and all of it was definitely not as good as the private treasury of these festival envoys.
