No matter how much you don't believe it, the county order just posted such a notice, and Li Xie didn't have time to get angry, so he went to the door, and the county order came to visit him by himself.

Li Xie never revealed his identity in his own home, so the lord of a county suddenly came to the door, and the family was frightened. respectfully invited this nine-rank official into the house, and offered him up like an uncle.

Li Gui served the best tea, and asked people to go out and buy the best dim sum. Li Xie came out to take a look and saw that this Jiupin sesame junior official who made him angry was sitting in the main seat like his uncle, and his adoptive father Li Gui was respectfully sitting in the first place.

With a cold snort, he walked forward, Li Xie actually never paid attention to where to sit. But today, the county order posted such a notice, and it reached his ears through the maid's mouth.

Li Xie felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at this county order now, so Li Xie didn't speak after he stepped forward, and stared at him directly.

Although the words were not spoken, the meaning was clearly expressed: "This is where you can sit?" ”

This county magistrate is actually sitting on this main seat, and he is also in a nervous mood. But Li Gui was too enthusiastic, and if you don't sit there, you just look down on me, so I had no choice but to sit down.

How do you know that when you sit down, your ass is not yet hot, and the Lord has already come. Forget it when you come, and walk directly in front of yourself, staring straight at yourself.

With such an obvious subtext, how can the county order that has been mixed with officialdom for several years not understand? Immediately, he stood up as if there was a needle under his buttocks, and then half-bent over, and made a gesture of please.

Li Xie is sitting on the main seat, so where is Li Gui going to be placed? So after seeing the county order get up, he didn't sit down, but walked over to Li Gui's lower position, apparently wanting to sit down there.

Li Gui saw that even the county commander stood up, although he didn't understand what was going on, but he was startled, and at the same time, he didn't dare to stand up when he sat down again.

"Dad, it's okay, sit down." Li Xie saw that Li Gui was about to stand up, and after saying this, he reached out and pressed Li Gui back.

"What's the matter?" After Li Xie sat down, Cao Ying naturally sat down next to him. is just a nine-grade county official, no matter what time it is, in Cao Ying's eyes, this is an insignificant little person.

Therefore, Cao Ying behaved very naturally, without Li Gui's apprehension at all.

Looking around, I still wanted to find a place to sit down, but when Li Xie asked like this, I knew that the uncle in front of me was not ready to let him sit down.

All around, except for a maid serving tea, who was still standing, everyone sat down, and now he was the only one standing awkwardly. And among the people present, he was the only one wearing an official uniform.

But what's the solution? The official level crushed people to death, not to mention that Li Xie was holding a token representing the emperor. In terms of humility, Li Xie sat down, and in front of him, the county order really had no place to do.

"Presumably, the adults also know about the notice, so that the adults know that the lower officials are forced to do this." The county commander didn't dare to be angry, but it was really embarrassing. But none of this was shown on his face, and he looked as usual, and after a respectful salute, he spoke in an orderly manner.

"So you think you've been wronged by standing like this now, right?" When he said this, he didn't carry much emotion, and it seemed particularly bland, but a sense of majesty was extinguished.

At this time, Li Xie is really too different from his usual life. Li Gui watched his son grow up, and he had all kinds of doubts in his heart at this time, but looking at his son like this, he didn't dare to say a word.

As an elder, his father is still like this, let alone a small county order that only has one side. This small county commander was almost out of breath by this rushing majesty, and his legs trembled.

"Don't dare!" From a subordinate official to a humble position, this is a change in title, but also a change in mentality, which proves that he is now subservient to Li Xie.

"A flat-headed commoner, do you think she dares to hide in the shadows and spy secretly after killing someone? Do you dare to have a fluke mentality, thinking that you are extremely smart and will not be discovered by the government? Who are you fooling for? Get lost! ”

Li Xie spoke very politely, but what he said made the county commander break out in a cold sweat. Li Xie said that these aspects were not expected by him, and the small county commander still felt that he was great, and he was willing to bear the infamy in order to catch a murderer.

There were four corpses burned to char in the fire, and the small county magistrate announced to the public under great pressure that he was just a servant who accidentally knocked over the oil lamp.

Of course, these pressures are not only given to him by his superiors, but also by the people. If you can't catch someone, the announcement will become a notice to characterize the matter. Then there is no doubt that the prestige that has been built up over the years will disappear in an instant.

The majesty of the government will also be greatly reduced in the hearts of the people, and the black smoke that burned four people to the sky You tell me, it was just a servant who knocked over the oil lamp. Do you really think we're fools?

"Please, sir, help!" The county commander couldn't stand anymore, and as soon as his legs were weak, he knelt down directly.

"I don't want to see you again yet, get out." Li Xie scolded again, the words were very unpleasant, but it meant that he would no longer pursue this matter.

After scolding for a while, not only did he not have any angry expression on his face, but a smile appeared. He knew that after being scolded for these two sentences, his black gauze hat could be saved. Hurriedly kowtowed twice: "Thank you, sir." ”

Then he stood up, half-hunched, and walked out.

"Since people are not so smart anymore, stop pretending to be smart and stay honest and do what you should do." When the county magistrate was about to walk out of the hall, Li Xie said something again.

Li Xie knew that the person who could sit firmly in the position of the county commander still had some ability. Moreover, very few things have happened in this small county town for many years, and this county order still has some credit.

The reason why he came up with such a stupid method now is that he wants to behave in front of Li Xie, in order to be able to get the official fortune of Hengda.

First of all, he showed such an announcement that no one believed, and there should be someone who quietly publicized it in secret. That's why the news spread so quickly in this county.

Then when everyone thought that this county order was stupid, the county order came to the door and showed off in front of a big man like himself. said that he did this to hook the murderer out of the shadows.

In order to catch a murderer, you can not even have a reputation, which is undoubtedly the performance of a good official. Most people will be impressed by him when they understand this.

But in Li Xie's opinion, this is a very stupid decision. A homicide case, I don't even know if it's a vendetta killing, or a homicide involving personal feelings like a love killing. In order to arrest such a person, the prestige that has been built up in this county for many years has been completely lost.

I believe that after this notice is issued, if there is no follow-up to save the reputation of the government, then in this small county town in the future, the prestige of the government will drop a lot.

If it was a serial murderer, he would have approved of him. However, if it is just a case, then it actually can't make any waves in the minds of the people, and most people look at this matter as if it were lively.

Dead? Wow! Really dead?!

But it's not yourself who dies, it's the people who have a relationship with you. And what does it matter?

Maybe there will still be people talking about it for ten days and half a month, but after a month or two, this matter will be completely forgotten by everyone.

So even if the government doesn't catch the murderer, it won't give any explanation for this matter. Busy people will only talk for a few days, and then completely forget that it doesn't matter to them whether they have caught someone or not. Because even if the murderer gets away with it, it won't have any impact on them, because they know that they have nothing to do with the murderer.

This is not the era of the information explosion, where everyone is busy running around for a living. It can be said that in this day and age, 90% of people have to think about where to find the next meal after eating the last meal.

When the stomach is still hungry, no one thinks about the ability of the government. No one would be righteous enough to cry out about the four charred corpses.

That's human nature.

When you can only take care of yourself, or you can't even take care of yourself, no one will think about doing something for others.

A county magistrate wants to be promoted, it's nothing, and it's nothing to use some small means to show himself. But with the difference in identity, Li Xie will think differently when thinking about things.

When he was just a small steward outside the west city of Luotianfu. Li Xie thought about how to make the gang under his control obediently not make trouble, and then thought of a way to fill their stomachs.

When Li Xie asked for a Xicheng government order to fight against Li Baichuan. What Li Xie is thinking about is how to develop his own abilities so that others dare not do it to him easily. In other words, when someone else extends their claws to themselves, let yourself be able to break the claws enough.

When there was the position of inspector, although Li Xie had the element of disgusting Li Zhanji, it was undeniable that he wrote down what he had seen and heard, and his thoughts on how to change this status quo.

And now, Li Xie is a prince, but he has never entered the palace, and even his identity as a prince may not be known to others.

But it does not prevent him from subconsciously subconsciously substituting himself into this identity. Since he is the son of one of the country's top leaders, all he has to think about is how to maintain the face of the country's state institutions.

That is, what is now called imperial power, which is also the majesty of the government. Only when the government has majesty will the people be obedient and will they be able to carry out orders and prohibitions. can completely suppress the rebellious heart of those people.

And this county order is acting wisely, which is obviously contrary to this will. So it is natural for Li Xie to be disgusted with him.

The county order left, but looking at Li Gui's eyes when he looked at him, Li Xie still felt a headache. How to explain it? Went out for a year and came back to be a big official?

Li Xie felt that this seemed to be an opportunity, an opportunity to spread out his identity.

"Stinky boy, you ......"

"Dad! As you should know, my birth was not simple. In fact, I am the prince. ”

"......" Li Gui was first surprised that his youngest son knew that he was not his own. Then when he heard that his youngest son turned out to be the prince, Li Gui's legs were weak and he almost slipped off the chair.

When Li Xie said this, he could hear a needle falling on the ground that was quiet for a while. And this state continued until Ma Guihua cooked the meal and called everyone to eat.

"Dad, let's eat first." Li Xie's salutation has not changed in the slightest, his demeanor, his intimate expression, and his tone have not changed in the slightest. But Li Gui still felt a deep sense of strangeness.

When eating at the dinner table, Li Xie ate with his head stuffed as usual. Cao Ying chatted with her sister-in-law and mother-in-law about some light-hearted topics in the usual lively atmosphere, bringing them closer to each other.

The only thing that is abnormal should be Li Gui, he has no smile in the past, and the whole person looks unusually restrained.

After eating, Li Gui was like a wandering spirit, and left alone. Li Xie knew that such a big thing would have to give his adoptive father a little time to adapt, so he didn't keep up.

When the time came to night, Li Gui came directly to the door.

"When did you find out?" Li Xie didn't even speak, Li Gui just said it directly. Seeing Li Gui ask this, he must have recovered a little. At least the tone of speech is still the tone of talking to the son, not the tone of talking to the prince.

"Dad! When have you ever heard me call you father? Li Xie did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

Father! This title still doesn't exist, when he first taught Li Xie to speak. Li Gui taught Li Xie to call his father, and Li Xie called him Dad, sometimes he was in a hurry to teach, and he just didn't call Li Xie his father. Li Gui would call his father back and forth, father. Li Xie took it for granted, so he called his father one by one. So back then, there was often such an interesting scene: Li Gui called Li Xie's father, and Li Xie called Li Gui's father!

Li Gui is honest, so naturally he has been called like this. Yixue's mother also came here like this.

It's called getting used to it, but I don't feel anything. At this time, as soon as Li Xie asked this, these pictures flashed in front of Li Gui's eyes, and the time was as close as if it was yesterday.

"You were so young!" The reason why he agreed to adopt him was because he only had one son and felt that it was not enough. Second, because Li Xie was really young at that time, and only a one or two month-old child could know anything? After raising Li Xie in this way, he is also his own son, not biological, but also biological.

"yes, I was that young." Li Xie also sighed.

"You and Mom will always be my parents. No matter how my identity changes, no matter how much time has passed. ”

Li Xie said this very solemnly. Li Gui smiled lightly and patted the shoulder of his son, who was taller than himself.

"Of course, your Lao Tzu will always be your Lao Tzu." After Li Gui said this, he may have opened his heart knot, and even his steps were a little relaxed.

"So Mom, it's up to you over there." Li Xie watched Li Gui walk easily and happily, and suddenly said this.

Li Gui didn't fall down at a slight deviation in his steps, but he pretended not to hear what Li Xie said, walked a little faster, and didn't turn his head back.

When Li Gui came, Cao Ying consciously gave up the space to the father and son, but it didn't mean that she didn't pay attention to this side, in fact, after the door was closed, she didn't go inside, and directly put her ears to the crack in the door to listen.

As soon as Li Gui left, Cao Ying opened the door and walked out.

"What's his mood like now?" Cao Ying looked curiously at Li Xie's back, and while thinking so, the person had already walked to Li Xie's side and hugged his arm with both hands.

Tilting his head slightly, he looked at Li Xie, looking at his calm but slightly deep side face.

"Are you worried?" After looking at it for a while, as if she had seen something, Cao Ying asked.

"Yes!"

"Worried about what?"

"I'm worried that I won't be able to integrate into this home again."

"Probably not, my parents-in-law are very good."

"It has nothing to do with the quality of people's character, after all, where is the identity. If I don't have this home, I'm afraid I won't have a home in the future. Royal ...... since ancient times There is no family affection. ”……

When Li Xie sighed like this, a big event was happening in the royal family, which he said had no family affection.

Li Xie is identity as a prince, and it was spread by Li Xuezhong, a caring person, through some channels, and suddenly all the royal nobles in Luotian Mansion knew about it.

When this matter reached Li Zhanji's ears through the words of the eunuchs in the palace who chatted privately, this matter had reached the point where everyone knew about it.

At this point, it's impossible to suppress this anymore. Li Zhanji simply wanted to admit it generously, and directly issued a holy decree announcing Li Xie's identity.

At the same time, Li Xie was given a throne and temporarily arranged for Li Xie to enter the Yi Palace. As soon as this news came out, it was nothing less than good news for those who still maintained a neutral status. But for those who have already chosen a camp, it is tantamount to a bolt from the blue.

Why?
