"Open the city gate, and the head of Li Jinshi visited. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info" shouted a cavalryman in front of the closed city gates.

This city belongs to a medium-sized city, and all the guards set up their crossbows on the head of the city, and when they saw the cavalry of the regular army of the country, and heard the cavalry shouting, one of them hurriedly ran to report to the city lord.

When the city lord heard this, he gritted his teeth and personally led people out of the city.

"Commander Li Jinshi, there is a loss of welcome, rudeness, and rudeness." The city lord said politely.

Li Jin also snorted, and the two of them walked towards the city in the front row.

Li Jin noticed that the city was crowded with people, almost all of whom were merchants.

After entering the City Lord's Mansion, Li Jin motioned for his guards to retreat.

The city lord is not a stupid person, and he also asked his entourage to leave, and there were Li Jin, the city lord, and Qin Xi in the room.

"Lord Castle, I wonder what you think of this uprising?" Li Jin opened his mouth first.

The city lord didn't expect Li Jin to ask so directly, his eyes kept looking at Li Jin, Li Jin became the head of the master at a young age, and he was loved by His Majesty the Emperor, he knew this kind of thing, but whether his answer could satisfy Li Jin, or who did Li Jin mean by asking, did His Majesty the Emperor ask Li Jindai, the city lord's brain began to spin rapidly.

"The mob just wants to have enough to eat." Li Jin saw that the city lord was slow to speak, so he threw out such a sentence again.

The city lord was even more confused, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally said, "The mob is caused by the unfavorable work of our subordinates, so we should ask His Majesty the Emperor for the guilt." ”

This time Li Jin was dumb, although before he came, Qin Xi taught him how to speak, but he didn't expect the old fox of the city lord to come to such a sentence, Li Jin's eyes secretly swept Qin Xi, and motioned to Qin Xi to find a way.

"Lord City Lord, Master Li Jin is tired from long-term work, can you arrange a rest?" Qin Xi understood that Li Jin couldn't deal with the city lord, so he took the initiative to speak.

The city lord picked up the bell on the table and rang it twice, and an attendant walked in, "Go, quickly take the division commander to rest." ”

Seeing the waiter go out, Qin Xi whispered in the city lord's ear, "Your Excellency may be able to take some opportunity to ascend and talk a lot about the lower officials." ”

Li Jin didn't hear what Qin Xi said, and had already followed the waiter out of this room.

The city lord looked at the backs of the two, and couldn't tell for a while whether this was Qin Xi's own mouth, or Li Jin's meaning, in his mind, Li Jin must have the emperor's secret decree, and there was already a solution when Dongping Province rioted.

Thinking of this, the city lord summoned his own staff officers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it has been a long time since the riots in this province, His Majesty the Emperor sent the head of the Li Jin division to bring a division to quell the matter, after the head of the Li Jin division exterminated the thieves on the border of Dongping Province, he did not start a war with the mob, at this time the head of the Li Jin division came to the city, what do you think."

The city lord did not use official words anymore, and directly stated his purpose for recruiting these staff officers.

Many staff officers began to discuss in a low voice.

A staff officer stood up, "My lord, the lower officer thinks that the goal of the commander of Li Jin's division is to guard Zhao Jie too much. ”

As soon as these words came out, many staff officers were taken aback, and even the city lord couldn't believe it.

"This is impossible, Taishou and Li Jinshi have no holidays, and Taishou Zhao Jie is the second prince's person, and Li Jinshi has a good relationship with the second prince, what you said is impossible. I think that the head of Li Jinshi must be trying to find a scapegoat, and then negotiate peace with the mob, and this matter can be regarded as a solution. Another staff officer stood up and objected.

The latter opinion was echoed by a large number of staff officers.

"My lord, please analyze it." The young staff officer still wanted to speak, but the city lord waved his hand, "Forget it, you are still young and don't understand the affairs of officialdom, the head of Li Jinshi can be liked by His Majesty the Emperor, and you can make the prime minister a year-old friend, and the means of officialdom are not understandable to you." ”

The young staff officer saw that he had no chance to speak, so he had to retreat and say no more.

"My lord, we think we should cooperate with Commander Li Jinshi, or even stand on the side of Commander Li Jinshi. The subordinates unanimously agreed that it would definitely be in line with His Majesty the Emperor's wish to deal with this matter on the side of the head of Li Jinshi. The chief of staff at the head made a summary of everyone's opinions.

The city lord was also very satisfied with this statement.

"Come on, prepare a banquet, and pick up the wind and wash the dust for the head of Li Jinshi at noon tomorrow." The lord of the city immediately made arrangements.

While the city lord was discussing with the staff officers, Li Jin was also chatting with Qin Xi in the room.

"Young master, when I was leaving just now, I left a message for the city lord and asked him if he would like to take this opportunity to advance, I just want to take advantage of the idea that everyone wants to be promoted and make a fortune." Qin Xi said a little helplessly, after all, he is a military general, if you want to talk about fighting wits and courage on the battlefield, it is a master, but playing with your heart in the officialdom, Qin Xi thinks that he is still far behind.

Li Jin walked back and forth in the room, and with his wisdom, he couldn't think of any good way even if he walked until dawn.

"My lord, there is a man who claims to be the counselor of the city lord and asks to see me." The guards reported outside the door.

Li Jin and Qin Xi glanced at each other, thinking in their hearts about what the city lord sent a staff officer to do at this time.

Qin Xi nodded to show this person, and Li Jin said, "Tell him to come in." ”

The staff officer who came in was the young staff officer who was not taken seriously.

"Master of the division, the villain Zhang Liang wants to take refuge in you and be loyal to you."

As soon as the staff officer came in, he knelt on the ground, and Li Jin didn't react for a long time, but Qin Xi spoke first.

"What are your talents?"

Zhang Liang still kept his head down.

"If the adult wants to deal with Zhao Jie, the villain has a plan to offer."

Zhang Liang is also gambling, betting on Li Jin's emphasis on talents, from the first time Zhang Liang saw Li Jin when he greeted him, he had a strange idea.

Although it is rumored that Li Jin is brilliant, famous in Kyoto for his schemes, and outstanding in military talent, Zhang Liang does not fully believe that judging from Li Jin's age, he must have the support of others to become famous in Kyoto, not just himself.

What's more, he noticed that Li Jin always noticed the eyes of the man next to him, intentionally or unintentionally, and when he said that he wanted to take refuge just now, Li Jin's performance with this tall man, Zhang Liang further affirmed that Li Jin has this kind of achievement, and he has gathered a large number of people around him who can do things for himself.

Zhang Liang, who was kneeling on the ground, secretly raised his head, his eyes raised to pay attention to Li Jin's reaction, and when he saw Li Jin once again cast his eyes on this tall man, Zhang Liang smiled in his heart.

"Humph! I'm friends with Taishou Zhao Jie, what do you mean by that? Li Jin roared angrily, and Qin Xi also called the guards in, and the guards put the knife on Zhang Liang's neck.

Zhang Liang was not nervous at all, at least he said in a calm voice: "The army, the adult, lined up in front of Dongping City, did not enter the city, did not deal with the mob, but came to the city where there was no mob riot, if the lord needs a reason to eliminate Dongping Taishou Zhao Jie's henchmen, the villain knows that there are three city lords who have collected evidence of Dongping Taishou Zhao Jie's crime, and these evidence is enough to cut off Zhao Jie's head ten times." ”

"Huh! Interesting, stand down and get ready for the night. ”

Li Jin waved his hand, the guards let go of Zhang Liang and retreated one by one, and soon Li Jin's room was set up in the night sky, and Yu Hongxue took out a box of gold and handed it to Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang hurriedly knelt down and swore a poisonous oath to express his allegiance to Li Jin, and then accepted the gold.

Li Jin did not introduce the identities of Qin Xi and Yu Hongxue to him, but only said the names.

"That collects evidence, what method is it good to use, rob openly, or steal."

Li Jin knew that others had good things, and they were all stealing first, but this time there was a big hand from the army, so he would think of robbing it.

Zhang Liang didn't dare to say that Li Jin's was not, and hurriedly explained: "Young Master Li Jin can cooperate with several city lords, I don't know if Young Master Li Jin is interested in listening to the villain's analysis of the current situation." ”

Li Jin nodded and motioned for Zhang Liang to continue. (To be continued.) )
