Early in the morning of the second day, Kaifeng Mansion was in the special office of Li Hao. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Hao sat behind the barrier as usual, listening to the reports of the officials below.

This way of reporting is a habit of his, and although no one understands why there is a screen in the middle of the room, no one dares to question it.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, and then a catcher walked into the screen, ignoring everyone's amazement.

Not long after the arrester entered, Li Hao waved away the officials, and it was not until he and the arrester were the only two left in the office that Li Hao's voice came out with a hint of horror.

"You repeat what you just said."

Catch quickly replied cautiously: "Since yesterday afternoon, news has spread in the north of the city, saying that there is a family of Han compatriots in Liao who came all the way to the Great Song Dynasty because they couldn't stand the persecution of the Liao people, and they came all the way to the Great Song Dynasty in the hope of getting the protection of their compatriots, but they were arrested as spies, and you sent people to detain them without interrogation, and during this period, they were killed and killed. ”

"Some people say that you are plotting against each other and secretly killing the Han people who betrayed them for the Liao State, there are ...... There is a suspicion of collaborating with the enemy and treason. ”

There was a loud noise from the screen, but it was Li Hao who was angry and smashed one of his favorite inkstones.

Zhu Kuai didn't dare not say anything, and continued: "When our brother received the news, it was already this morning, and now the news has spread throughout Kaifeng Mansion through those people in Beicheng, I'm afraid it is...... I'm afraid it's already known to both the government and the opposition. ”

"And what are you doing standing here? Why don't you hurry up and bring someone to me to shut up those people, useless things. Li Hao shouted.

――――－――

At noon, Zhao Gu's small courtyard.

Ergouzi, Hao Bailan, and Li Danran were invited over by Zhao Gu, and after listening to their reports, Zhao Gu patted Li Danran's shoulder heavily and smiled.

"You guys are doing a good job, Li Hao's dog official must be drinking tea in the Metropolitan Procuratorate now, it's time to give him another dose of fierce medicine."

The three of them smiled knowingly, and discussed in a low voice where to go to spread rumors for a while, and Zhao Gu interjected a few words from time to time to improve their plan.

Half an hour later, outside the yamen of Kaifeng Mansion, a carriage came, and Li Hao, the same acquaintance of Kaifeng Mansion that Zhao Gu and several people were talking about, sat inside.

His expression was very serious, with a hint of anger, but he cleverly hid it.

Li Haoqi is a powerful person, in his early forties, and white hair has not yet appeared on his forehead, indicating his good body.

This is an official of the Young Zhuang faction.

As we all know, the medical conditions in ancient times were not good, and the average life expectancy was only thirty or forty years old, even if they were officials.

There are not many people who live a long life, and people like Li Hao who can become a third-grade official at a young age are even rarer, and this is his capital.

If nothing else, he should go one step further when he is fifty years old, becoming a second-rank master, and the feudal side will either be in charge of one of the six departments, or enter the third court as a deputy position.

If he can live to be 60 years old or even longer, it is not impossible for a proper governor (vice minister) or privy council minister (generalissimo of soldiers and horses) to escape, and it is not impossible to even achieve the same level of affairs (prime minister).

When he retires or dies when he is older, the imperial court will posthumously give him the title of Taishi or Young Master, or the nominal prince of the country, and become a virtuous minister who will remain in history.

But it was this accident that came out of it!

He couldn't figure out how he could cause such a big storm by killing a powerless young man on his own territory.

Not only did this young man rob the nobleman in that person's house and provoke that person's anger, but he also indirectly offended the little grandfather of the Lu State Mansion because of this.

Now, the rumors all over the world have pushed him to the forefront, and those officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate have played one after another to impeach him, a near-perfect third-grade member in the eyes of all officials.

Am I offending some big guy?

Li Hao rubbed his temples vigorously, and suddenly thought of the old man who was in his old age, but he quickly rejected this speculation.

It's not that it couldn't be that the old man made a move, but he didn't dare to think about the old man at all, because the old man was too terrible.

He didn't think that it was also possible that the young man who had been ordered by him to knock the stuffy stick was the one who calculated him.

When he arrived at the Kaifeng Mansion, Li Hao was about to get out of the car, and the catcher who had spoken early came up again.

"My lord, something happened again."

"What's going on this time?" Li Hao asked impatiently.

"Or about that young man named Zhao Gu, some people say that the reason why Zhao Gu was killed by you this time is because he brought an important piece of information from the Liao State, which may help the Great Song Dynasty recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and you were entrusted by the Emperor of the Liao State, so you killed him desperately." Catch replied quickly.

Zhu Kuai looked at Li Hao's color again, until Li Hao glared at him, and then he continued: "My lord, the public opinion in Kaifeng Mansion is boiling at the moment, and many people are secretly talking about you, and there are those bold literati who even hold gatherings in teahouses, taverns and other places with a large flow of people to discuss whether you are a traitor in Liao. My lord, my subordinates think ...... Feel that the current situation is very unfavorable for you. ”

"Fart. That Zhao Gu has a fart on his body. Li Hao rarely said dirty words, and stood at the door of the Kaifeng Mansion and drank coldly.

"Zhao Gu, it's Zhao Gu again, during this time, the official can hear his name every day, is he a member of the court? Is he a famous Confucian? No, he's just a lowly Han of Liao. You useless things, just let Zhao Gu go, and the official forgives him and doesn't dare to set foot in Kaifeng City again. But you still haven't thought of covering these rumors, what are you eating with your own officials? “

He couldn't raise his head when he was scolded, but he heard Li Hao say again: "You immediately order now, if anyone spreads this kind of rumor in Kaifeng Mansion again, they will be locked up, I want to see who ate the courage of the ambitious leopard and dared to slander me Li Hao." ”

"Yes."

Li Hao waved off the catch, entered the office angrily, picked up the document and wanted to approve it, but he couldn't read a word, and threw the document out angrily.

He had to admit that at this moment...... He was a little scared!

For some reason, Li Hao always felt that this rumor incident was not so simple, it seemed that there was a master behind him, and every rumor was cut into his soft underbelly.

Thinking of what the old man said to him that night, Li Hao couldn't be calm anymore.

Hurriedly went out again, and Li Hao came to a spacious mansion.

The archway in front of the gate of this mansion has four big characters written on it - quality and generosity!
