Chapter 332: Thirty-six thousand

Before going down to the southwest, there was still a lot of explanation on the road, how to meet Luo Yao, and what the first meeting would be like. But when he saw the man coming towards him and looked at the man's gaze, he realized that he was really unprepared.

Fang Xie hadn't felt panicked in his heart for a long time.

He's a little flustered right now.

Luo Yao didn't wear armor, only a navy blue robe, a jade belt around his waist, and cloth shoes instead of riding boots on his feet. He walked slowly forward with his hands in his hands, his body straight. This is a person whose appearance is very different from the legend, although Fang Xie doesn't believe in any rumors that the blue-faced fangs are two feet tall, but he also has the impression that Luo Yao should be a person with a strong figure.

Luo Yao is not very tall, about one meter seventy-five, a little shorter than Fang Jie.

He has a well-proportioned figure, and although he is over sixty years old, he still looks tall and muscular. His stride was small, and if you looked closely, you could see that he was walking exactly the same distance with each step. From this point, it can be seen that a person's temperament must be extremely strict with the rules.

Chinese face, short beard.

The sword eyebrows are raised, and he is not angry and arrogant.

The most tense thing in his heart is the temperament on his body, Fang Xie is sure that only people who have been stained with countless blood on their bodies can have this kind of cold and hard temperament that makes people uncomfortable. Such a person can make ordinary people fearful even if he does not speak, or even if he stands there motionless.

Fang Xie was a little distracted, if it wasn't for Mu Xiaowaist touching him on the back, he wouldn't have reacted.

"Under the official solution, I have seen the general."

Fang Xie bowed slightly.

Luo Yao hummed and said, "You are an angel Qincha, you don't have to salute me." ”

Fang explained: "According to the rules, the lower officials really don't need to salute the general, but at this time, the lower officials worship the general who has made countless military exploits for the country for more than 20 years, and worships the barrier in the southwest of the Great Sui, which is the sincere respect of the lower officials. This has nothing to do with the imperial mandate, and it has nothing to do with the dignity of status. ”

Luo Yao couldn't help but nodded, his eyes kept on Fang Jie's face.

"You're a good talker."

He said lightly.

Fang Xie said seriously: "The best words are never lies, but true words. ”

Luo Yao took two steps forward and stopped, and suddenly clenched his fists and leaned over to give a salute to the other party: "Luo Yao, the general of the left guard, has seen Lord Qincha!" ”

Fang Xie hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "Why does the general need to be so polite." ”

Luo Yao straightened up and said slowly: "Rules are rules, and they can't be abolished." If you don't have to obey the rules because you think I'm respectable, so will others. In the long run, the rules will be gone, and the Qincha represents His Majesty...... You have just saluted me, and I regard it as your personal identity. Now I salute you, not to you but to Your Majesty. ”

Fang Xie couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, this person is really a guy who is extremely strict with the rules.

Just as Fang Xie was about to say something, Luo Yao suddenly saluted again: "This is an apology to Lord Qincha on behalf of the officials and people of Pingshang Road, there is an assassin, it is my problem and the problem of the local officials of Pingshang Road." Lord Luo Qiu, the governor of Pingshangdao, has also arrived from Yongzhou, but he is a civil official who walks a little slower, and he is not to blame. ”

Fang Xie was stunned, and said in his heart, why is Luo Yao so polite?

Suddenly, Fang Jie's heart ached.

Before separating from him when crossing Mangdang Mountain, Huai Qiugong's words to him suddenly came out of his heart.

"Actually, it's not difficult to say, you just need to remember that people must be weak in their hearts if they want to make trouble, no matter who they are. So you can see some clues from Luo Yao's attitude towards you, if he ignores you coldly, then he is still the arrogant general. If he is warm and attentive to you...... You have to be careful. ”

Huai Qiugong's words were like a lightning bolt that suddenly exploded in Fang Jie's mind, making his heart shrink violently.

Fang Jie's heart instantly made waves, but his face did not show any change: "The general is too polite, I also said when I talked to General Ye before, this place is remote, and the people's hearts have not yet been completely naturalized. Looting has been repeatedly banned even in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and people's greed and evil cannot be suppressed by the laws of the imperial court. It is impossible to really be innocent anywhere, otherwise the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department will be useless. Xia Guan was also a pawn of the border army before he went to Beijing, and he can't remember how many bandits he had seen. Compared with Fan Gu in the northwest, it is much more peaceful under the rule of the general. ”

Luo Yao shook his head: "You can say this, but you can't do this." ”

He glanced at Ye Jinnan and asked, "Have you ever asked something?" ”

Ye Jinnan leaned over and said, "General Yu, Sun Maocai, the county commander of Anlai County, and Li Heimin, the county magistrate, have nothing to do with the assassin who assassinated Qincha. One hundred and twenty-six people, including the Anlai County Raider Gang, had nothing to do with the Assassins. The family members and relatives associated with these people had also been interrogated overnight, totaling 1,012 people who had nothing to do with the Assassins. The soldiers blocked the official road within a radius of 200 miles in Anlai County, and caught two people yesterday night, who did not lead the way, and their appearance was suspicious...... The assassination of Qin Cha was planned by the fugitive chasing business. ”

"What is the purpose?"

Luo Yao asked indifferently.

"Purpose...... It's you, the Great General. According to their confessions, it was the fugitive Chashang who plotted to attack and kill Qincha, trying to arouse the court's questioning and forcing the general to leave Yongzhou......"

In this way, Ye Jinnan didn't seem to have any scruples when he said it in front of Fang Jie.

After hearing this, Luo Yao only bowed his head slightly, and said after being silent for a while: "Such an idiot can actually incite a group of idiots...... The people's hearts are stupid, and it seems that this statement is true. ”

……

……

Temporary shelter for the liberation

Ye Jinnan sent people to put two chairs in the living room to show respect for the other party. Luo Yao sat down on the left, then pointed to the chair next to him for Fang Xie to sit down as well. Fang Xie didn't refuse, and thanked him after sitting down.

Luo Yao waved his hand and signaled his entourage to withdraw, the people around him only left Ye Jinnan and Yuan Fucheng, while Fang Xie left only Mu Xiaoxiao and Shen Tianfan around him.

From beginning to end, Luo Yao didn't look at the two of them at a glance.

However, Shen Tianfan glanced at Luo Yao from time to time, and there was a faint doubt in his eyes.

"You're seventeen?"

After being silent for a while, Luo Yao suddenly asked.

Fang Xie nodded and said: "If nothing else, it should be seventeen years old, Xia Guan's life experience is a little bizarre, he has been running around since he was a child, and the people around him don't know how old Xia Guan is." ”

He looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and said, "Sister Xiaoxiao grew up holding me since she was a child, and the day she picked me up was set as my birthday." When she and Sister Tilting Fan saw that I was abandoned, they kindly took care of me. Even my name was chosen by the two of them through consultation, because they expected me to be a square person, so they took the surname Fang. Because I don't know my background, they couldn't solve it, so they named me Jie. The word "Xiaguan" is also the meaning of this. ”

"Oh?"

Luo Yao sighed lightly and said: "I didn't expect your life experience to be so bizarre, but you have achieved it at this age, his future is limitless, if you discard what your parents know, you won't regret it." ”

Fang Xie said that on purpose, and his words were half true and half false. He just wanted to test Luo Yao's reaction, but after finishing speaking, he realized that he still underestimated Luo Yao too much. There was not a single change on this man's face, not even a flicker in his eyes. It seems that what Fang explained has nothing to do with him at all.

"Perhaps......"

Fang Xie smiled and said, "But fortunately, although it was hard, I still survived." Some people say that God has no aversion or love for people, so it will give everyone opportunities and frustrations. Those who do not seize the opportunity are doomed to do nothing, and those who do not overcome setbacks are turned into dry bones. I was lucky, and after arriving in Chang'an City, I was appreciated by His Majesty and my life was stable. ”

Luo Yao snorted: "There is some truth in this...... If you think about it carefully, it is true that everyone will have the opportunity to make a career in their life, but some people are afraid that some people are lazy and some are stupid, so they can't grasp it. Naturally, your achievements today cannot be attributed to luck, or because you have a heart. ”

"General Xie."

Fang Xie bowed slightly.

Luo Yao shook his head: "It has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, and there has never been a person of your age who can inspect a party on behalf of the Son of Heaven. You are the second person in the Great Sui Dynasty to enter the Nine Martial Arts Academy, you are the first person from a poor family to be added to the rank by His Majesty before leaving the Martial Arts Academy, and you are still the youngest Qincha, younger than the original Ministry of Rites Shangshu Huailao when he first went out on patrol...... I've never believed that a person's success is entirely a matter of luck, and you don't need to be too humble. ”

He seemed to be a little emotional, and said with a slight sigh of relief: "Luck can make people have temporary achievements, but it is impossible to have a worry-free life." Since I was in the army, I have never fought a battle by luck. ”

Fang Xie hugged his fists and said: "The general's military might is majestic, and he is invincible in the world." ”

"This is a lie, no one is really invincible."

Luo Yao waved his hand, as if he didn't want to continue on this topic, he turned his head to look at Ye Jinnan and asked, "Where are the county magistrates of Anlai County and others detained?" ”

"The county jail. Other family members are being held in their homes. ”

"Attempting to assassinate the Qin Cha is a capital crime of stealing the family and destroying the ancestors, and if it were not for the negligence of the officials, this matter could have been avoided, so it is also a capital crime. I can't care about anything else, but naturally I can't tolerate anyone in Yongzhou who violates the law, especially my people. Such a sin may be exempted from official affairs in other places, but not in the southwest. If you make a mistake, you must be punished severely, and not any kind of mistake can give them a chance to make amends. Only by clarifying the canonical punishment can others remember. ”

"Dereliction of duty is the same crime as assassination. Since they are guilty of the same crime, the family members are accomplices. ”

Ye Jinnan hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates understand!" ”

He answered, then turned and strode out.

Luo Yao got up, looked at Fang Xie and asked lightly, "Lord Xiao Fang, do you want to go and see the killing?" It has been a few years since Pingshang Dao had killed a thousand people at one time. The scene may be bloody, but only then will it wake up the living. If Lord Xiaofang doesn't want to see thousands of people beheaded, he will wait here. ”

"Xiaguan still won't go."

Fang Xie shook his head, looked at Luo Yao and said in a flat tone: "But it's not because I'm afraid that I can't kill people, the scene of a thousand people being killed will indeed be very bloody and shocking." Some people don't see each other once in their lifetime...... But before I came out of Chang'an, I had just seen the emperor order to cut off 36,000 heads. ”

He looked at Luo Yao and smiled, "That scene is even bigger." ”
