Chapter 428
Originally, those who had ghosts in their hearts were still secretly lucky, and Li Wenyuan spread his anger on the Zhangye County Guard and the night owl commander, but when he saw that Li Wenyuan was going to shake hands with them one by one, he was dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but tremble a little. But at this time, it seems that it is difficult to ride a tiger and cannot advance or retreat, and now it is impossible for Li Wenyuan to avoid himself in this situation, not to mention that the night owl commander will definitely not agree.
Before coming here, the Night Owl Commander had already warned them not to see Li Wenyuan's legs soften, thinking that they could defect to the battle. Each of them has some dirty case records to a greater or lesser extent, although they have tried their best to wash themselves a lot before entering the office, but the dirty is dirty, and no matter how much they wash, they can't wash it white. Who are the night owls, even if these case records can be concealed from Li Wenyuan, they can't be hidden. As long as the Night Stalker Commander investigates a little, each of them will be stripped naked, and it is easy for the Night Stalker Leader to turn it upside down.
People's greed is endless, these people have done so many wrong things before they joined the government, and now that they are in power, how can they bear not to use power for personal gain? They have also done a lot of corruption and abuse of power to protect officials and officials over the years, and these things have been recorded by the night owl commanders without having to investigate. If these people repented at this time, they didn't need the night owl to send killers to chase them to the ends of the earth and take their lives, as long as they chose one or two of the dirty things they did and handed them to Li Wenyuan, it would be enough to sentence these people to death.
Li Wenyuan looked at the changes in the faces of some people in the team, and laughed secretly in his heart: If the tiger is not powerful, are you a sick cat for me? I didn't take care of you before, but I didn't have to spare my hands, but now you are so bold that you have even taken Qiu Niang captive, and I must clean up your moths this time and eliminate harm for the people.
Li Wenyuan remained silent, and shook hands with these people one by one with a smile on his face as the introduction of the Zhangye County Guard and the Night Owl Commander. Half an hour later, Li Wenyuan finally shook hands with the last official who came to greet him, and the two ended the conversation after an intimate greeting. Li Wenyuan returned to the honor guard and turned on his horse, and said to the officials on both sides of the official road: "Okay, brothers, you have all worked hard. It's really hard to get sunburned in this sun, let's not stand stupidly here, let's talk about something going into the city. ”
After receiving Li Wenyuan's order, these people who had been sunburned were in a hurry to hug Li Wenyuan and headed towards the county guard in the city.
The group entered the county guard's mansion in a mighty manner, and the Zhangye county guard led Li Wenyuan to the conference hall. The ice was already prepared in the conference hall, and as soon as I entered, I felt that the cool air was coming from the surface, and in an instant, most of the heat disappeared.
Zhangye County Guard invited Li Wenyuan to take a seat, and ordered his subordinates to serve tea to everyone who came to the meeting hall. Everyone sat down one after another, Li Wenyuan picked up the tea cup, pulled out the tea leaves floating on the water with the tea lid, and slowly took a sip.
"This tea is good." Li Wenyuan's face was relaxed and relaxed, and he gently put the tea cup on the side of the table. Those who are qualified to enter the chamber are naturally the famous people in Zhangye County, and everyone in the hall saw that Li Wenyuan praised the tea, so they picked up the tea cup and took a sip of it, and praised it.
"This tea is really good."
"Yes, you see that the tea leaves are neat and the leaves are thick. At first glance, it is a good tea. ”
"And you see that the color of this tea soup is clear and bright, the entrance is sweet, warm and moist like jade, good tea..."
Li Wenyuan didn't want to listen to the ministers in the hall continue to say these meaningless words, so he cleared his throat and asked, "Where is the Zhangye County Guard?" ”
Zhangye County Shoudang even stood up from his seat, walked to the hall and saluted Li Wenyuan: "The lower official is here." ”
"You all know the censorship system set by this king, and you should be no stranger to it, why hasn't this king brought the administrative records of Zhangye County for so long?" Li Wenyuan's voice was so thick that he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.
However, the Zhangye county guard under the hall was scared out of a cold sweat, he hesitated for a long time, and stumbled back: "This... This... His Royal Highness the King of Tang, the lower officials thought that you had just arrived in Zhangye County after a tiring journey, so he didn't bother you with these official duties, and he was going to send you over tomorrow. ”
"Is that so?"
"Yes, yes."
Li Wenyuan was noncommittal, and he didn't have any expression, and the air in the room seemed to be a little stagnant. Just when the Zhangye Junshou under the hall was about to kneel down with weak legs, Li Wenyuan suddenly laughed and said, "You care so much about the king's body, this king is very pleased. But everything should be the first of the state, and how can the king's personal affairs be compared with the affairs of the state? What's more, if you don't show the administrative records to the king, how can the king sleep? ”
Everyone in the hall echoed: "His Royal Highness the King of Tang loves the people like a son and cares about the people, which is the blessing of my Zhangye County and the blessing of my Great Sui." ”
The Zhangye County Guard had no choice but to respond, bowed and retreated, turned around and walked out of the council hall to get the administrative records of Zhangye County.
Seeing him retreat, Li Wenyuan asked the rest of the people in the hall, "Is the night owl commander of Zhangye County here?" ”
"The lower officials are here, I don't know what His Royal Highness the Tang King called the lower officials to order?" The leader of the night owl walked from the side to the middle, describing himself as arrogant, and did not salute Li Wenyuan.
Li Wenyuan saw all the situations in front of him, and at the same time remembered them all in his heart. Anyway, if you don't have any face, your dignity is not dignified, compared with Qiu Niang, it is all things outside your body that can be thrown away at any time. At this time, Li Wenyuan was thinking about finding Qiu Niang as soon as possible, so he endured all these things, waited for the time to come, and then settled the general account.
So Li Wenyuan said to the night owl commander in front of him: "If I'm not mistaken, the report of your Zhangye County night owl has not been delivered to Dunhuang County since three months ago. Qiu Niang has repeatedly sent people to urge you, but the replies you get have already been sent and will arrive in a few days. However, the report that has been sent has never reached Dunhuang County, do you have anything to explain in this regard? ”
After hearing Li Wenyuan's words, the night owl commander secretly felt a little strange in his heart. Could it be that Li Wenyuan didn't know that he had sent someone to follow him? He went out to dispatch troops on this trip, and came to Zhangye County with great fanfare, just to rescue Qiu Niang, not to attack himself? After all, he had been dealing with people for all these years, and he really hadn't heard the slightest hint of killing intent from Li Wenyuan's tone when he spoke, so for the first time in his life, the night owl commander had doubts about his judgment.
