Chapter 155: Who's Right and Wrong
As the voice fell, Fang Xuanling and Di Xiaoxu rushed into the room, looking at Lian'er with angry expressions, as if Lian'er had done something that everyone was angry about, which made Lian'er, whose emotions had just stabilized, panic again in an instant, and hid behind Xue Rengui, trembling all over, Li Haochen saw this situation, and immediately twisted his brows into a big pimple with some unhappiness.
Fang Xuanling and Di Xiaoxu are both smart people, as soon as they saw Li Haochen's expression, they knew that he was unhappy, Fang Xuanling was okay After all, he had been by Li Haochen's side for some time, and he knew what kind of person he was, although he was not happy now, but he was not angry yet, just waiting for the explanation of the two, if the explanation could not satisfy him, then the two would probably be punished.
But Di Xiaoxu and Li Haochen have been in contact for a short time, and at the same time, Li Haochen is one of the best favored ministers around the emperor, he is not happy, but Di Xiaoxu is frightened, and quickly explained: "My lord is angry, the two of us just came to report to the adult, and just arrived at the door of the adult's room when I heard the words of this little girl, I was anxious for a while, so I interrupted her and went directly into the room, not intentionally offending the adult Huwei, if the adult wants to punish the lower official, the lower official will be disposed of by the adult without complaining!" β
Li Haochen still didn't say anything with a cold face, his eyes looked at Fang Xuanling, obviously asking Fang Xuanling to give him a satisfactory explanation, Di Xiaoxu's words just now were all officialdom clichΓ©s, and there was no content, which made Li Haochen very dissatisfied in his heart, but he also knew that this Di Xiaoxu had been by his side for a short time and didn't understand his temper, which was normal, and at the same time, he also cherished Di Xiaoxu's talent in his heart, so he didn't reprimand him just now, if Fang Xuanling said what he said just now, Li Haochen would definitely reprimand him fiercely.
Fang Xuanling saw Li Haochen's gaze and thought about him, so he knew what Li Haochen meant, and he didn't hesitate at all, took out a note and handed it to Li Haochen and said, "General, you are angry, look at this!" β
Li Haochen opened the note and saw that it read: "At the ninth execution of the Yellow River, six villages outside Bianzhou City were seriously affected, among which Xiaozhuang Village suffered the worst loss, the whole village was flooded by the Yellow River, and no one survived!" After reading what was written on this note, Li Haochen's face sank like water, but he didn't speak, but handed the note to Xue Rengui and said, "Rengui, look at this!" β
After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Fang Xuanling and Di Xiaoxu and said, "Where did you get this note?" The reason why Li Haochen asked this was because he found that this paper was a special paper for intelligence transmission by the Datang Intelligence Bureau, and the production process was extremely complicated, and it was developed by Li Haochen himself by combining the papermaking technology of his previous life, and it was impossible for anyone to prevent it, so Li Haochen asked the two to confirm.
Before Fang Xuanling could speak, Di Xiaoxu said: "My lord is like this, Mr. Fang and I were ordered to learn about the situation of the Yellow River flood, and we asked from door to door in Fang City, and there was a guy from a medicinal herb shop who gave me this, saying that I would transfer it to my lord, and said to the lower officials that if the lord had anything, he could directly order him to do it!" Li Haochen nodded secretly, and expressed satisfaction with the work of the Datang Intelligence Bureau in Nanyang, he knew the news just after entering the city, so it can be seen that the sensitivity is still okay.
Li Haochen nodded, turned his head to look at Xue Rengui, who was still holding the note, and said, "Rengui, do you have anything to say to me?" β
Xue Rengui himself is a talented and intelligent person, as soon as he heard Li Haochen ask him, he knew what Li Haochen meant, and he just wanted to hear his explanation, after all, if what was said on this note was true, then Lian'er was lying, if it was really Lian'er lying, then she came to approach Li Haochen with ulterior motives, and he would also end up with an unknown evaluation in Li Haochen's heart.
Listening to Li Haochen's inquiry, Xue Rengui was not busy explaining, but glanced back at Lian'er who was hiding behind him, and then turned his head and made up his mind to Li Haochen and said, "Father-in-law, I believe that Lian'er is not lying, this information may be wrong!" β
Looking at Xue Rengui's firm expression, Li Haochen shook his head a little helplessly, for this little girl of unknown origin, he was still willing to believe the intelligence content of the Datang Intelligence Bureau, and then sighed helplessly and said: "Rengui, some things can't be blinded by superficial phenomena, this little girl has an unknown origin, you better send her out!" Li Haochen's first feeling was that this little girl was sent by the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in Henan Province to spy on intelligence. Although he is not a rotten murderer, he will not be kind to a woman, leaving such a little spy by his side, so he asked Xue Rengui to send this little girl away.
Lian'er, who had been hiding behind Xue Rengui, naturally understood what Li Haochen meant, she pulled Xue Rengui's sleeve nervously, with tears in her eyes, obviously not wanting to leave Xue Rengui.
Xue Rengui looked at Li Haochen and said: "Father-in-law, Rengui is not a woman's benevolence, Rengui thinks that what Lian'er said is true for two reasons, if the father-in-law still wants to send her away after hearing these two reasons of Rengui, Rengui will follow his father-in-law's order to send her away!" β
Li Haochen was a little unhappy about Xue Rengui's repeated disobedience to him, although he was unhappy, he also wanted to hear Xue Rengui's opinion, so he said coldly: "Tell me about it!" β
Xue Rengui was also secretly relieved, he knew that today he had repeatedly disobeyed his father-in-law, if his father-in-law was really angry, I am afraid that his rare opportunity to change his fate would be lost, Xue Rengui listened to Li Haochen agree to let him explain, and hurriedly said: "First of all, the news came too timely, I just found Lian'er, and there was news that the whole village of Xiaozhuang Village was killed, and secondly, if Lian'er was sent by the other party, then it must be a fluent answer to the question you asked, how could you be so timid?" And I don't think the horror in his eyes is fake. β
Li Haochen had to admit that the two points that Xue Rengui said were indeed reasonable, but the news of the Datang Intelligence Bureau could not be disbelieved, and Li Haochen couldn't pay attention to it for a while, Fang Xuanling looked at Li Haochen and couldn't pay attention to it, so he said: "The general would rather believe that he has it, than believe that he has nothing!" It is the best choice to send this person of unknown origin away, and please don't hesitate to do so! β
As soon as Li Haochen was about to speak, Xue Rengui spoke: "Father-in-law, if what Lian'er said is true, Lian'er may be an important weapon for us to tear open the Yellow River and break the Yellow River, if the father-in-law sends him away, it will make us miss the opportunity in vain, and ask my father-in-law to think twice!" β
Just when Li Haochen was in a dilemma, Lian'er behind Xue Rengui suddenly jumped out, biting her lip and pointing at Fang Xuanling and Di Xiaoxu and said, "They are bad people, the people of our Xiaozhuang Village are not dead, woo woo......"
