Chapter 120: Purge

"Lord Ye. As soon as Ye Sheng got off the horse, Liu En, the magistrate of the county, hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"Lord Ye has been bumpy all the way, and the carriage and horses are tired, please go to the post house with the next official to rest. ”

"Don't bother, it's important to settle the soldiers first. Ye Sheng bent his phoenix eyes, which lacked sharpness, and avoided Liu En's flattering hands.

In addition to his entourage, behind him were 30,000 soldiers who had rushed to the road for a month.

Because the Xitang soldiers were in a hurry, Ye Sheng and his party didn't dare to rest sooner or later, just thinking about arriving in Xitang earlier.

In the last second, the soldiers were still complaining that the magistrate had taken their commander first, leaving their group of people who were also tired enough to be left out in the cold.

In the next second, they smiled and saw Ye Sheng give up his position and motioned for them to go first.

What the hell is that bastard making up rumors in the capital? Along the way, it seems that the eldest son of the Ye family is obviously a smart and good person!

Liu En touched his nose, but he didn't dare to resentful of Lord Qincha's intentions, so he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to do things according to Lord Ye's instructions.

Ye Sheng maintained a spring breeze smile, watching Liu En busy before and after, and when Liu En finally solved the rest of the problems and stood in front of him with a smile on his face, he still didn't speak.

"Lord Ye?" Liu En already knew that this Ye Sheng was a gentleman in the capital, so he was not afraid, and he was even more bold to talk to him at this time.

"If Lord Ye has no other instructions, the lower officials have already set up a banquet in the mansion, and invited Lord Ye to come and talk. It's better to discuss in advance how to deal with that Li thief. ”

"Oh, it's rare that Lord Liu is so attentive, let's go over there. ”

Sure enough, Ye Sheng's eyes lit up when he heard the word "banquet", as if he directly ignored Liu En's last sentence, flicked the wide sleeves of his robe, and eagerly raised his feet and walked towards the county office.

Liu En hurriedly followed behind, but he snickered disdainfully in his heart.

What about the imperial court? The emperor is far away, he casually reported the situation, and who knows what happened in Xitang?

As a remote area, Xitang is not rich in supplies, and many people have no way to make a living, so they can only go to the streets to become beggars.

But this does not affect the life of Xitang Zhixian County, in the county office, the pretty maids put plates of big fish and meat on the table, and the seductive fragrance suddenly overflowed.

Ye Sheng held the chopsticks, but he didn't move.

"Lord Ye, but what are the taboos?" Liu En was surprised and hurriedly asked.

Ye Sheng shook his wine glass, but he didn't drink it under Liu En's blazing gaze.

"Lord Liu, do you know how many people are there in this Xitang County?"

Liu En opened his mouth, frowned and thought for a long time, the number seemed to melt in his stomach, and he couldn't get out of his mouth.

"Three thousand six hundred and fifty-two men. Does Lord Liu know that out of these 3,652 people, 2,141 people can't even guarantee three meals a day?"

The aged wine in the cup swayed, and for a moment, Liu En seemed to see that pair of phoenix eyes suddenly become fierce, just like the rumored immortal who is not angry and arrogant.

"Compared with the people, Lord Liu is not like Xitang here, but like Suzhou and Hangzhou. ”

Liu En swallowed his saliva, a smile on his face.

"Last year's tax, Xitang Town was exempted from paying taxes due to the famine, but the accounts in the county government show that your treasury has increased exponentially, Lord Liu. ”

Ye Sheng waved his hand, and a ledger fell hard in front of Liu En.

Liu En reflexively bounced up from his position, and Ye Sheng was still smiling from his seat. He was like a fox, shaking his head and tail at the mouth of the trap, and instead of entering the trap, he turned against the army.

How did he get the account book? Why Liu En was not impressed at all.

Liu En clearly remembered that someone came to him today, saying that the eldest son of the Jinghua Ye clan who did not learn and did not know how to do it had arrived in Xitang......

"Why does Lord Liu have such an expression?" In Liu En's eyes, the smiling face became hideous, and Ye Sheng's smile made him stand in the ice and snow.

Ye Sheng smiled with relief and handed the wine glass of his finger to Liu En.

"Lord Liu's face doesn't look good......," he said worriedly, "in that case, this glass of wine will be given to Lord Liu." ”

Liu En was dumbfounded.

"Or ......" Ye Sheng's slender eyes narrowed, his knuckles tightened, "This glass of wine was specially prepared for me, a messenger who came from afar?"

Liu En no longer hesitated, raised the jade cup in his hand and smashed it on the ground.

In an instant, countless corpses were thrown out from behind the screen.

The entourage who had followed Ye Sheng before walked out from behind the screen, looked at the dead officer with disdain, and took a sip.

"Low-level spirit masters, ordinary people, have the courage to kill the imperial court officials? Lord Liu, your subordinates are really loyal, He Yu, beyond his reach. ”

The steel knife in He Yu's hand was still dripping blood, and he skillfully wiped the blade a few times, and then walked towards Liu En.

Originally, Liu En planned well, and when Ye Dagongzi came, he would get rid of him first, and then take his troops for his own use.

If he couldn't beat Li Yingcheng, he would say that Ye Sheng was incompetent, not only was the whole army annihilated, but he also lost his own life.

If he has been beaten, then the credit for this bandit will be all his.

Years of famine and people who can't survive, what does this have to do with him?

But why was everything he had envisioned overturned in just a few minutes?

"Lord Liu was diligent, ate and lived with the people, and died of illness due to hard work. Lord Liu, what do you think of this ending?"

Ye Sheng looked at the table full of tender food with pity, if it was not eroded by poison, the deliciousness of this table could help many people survive the day.

"Big ...... Big ......" Liu En trembled like chaff, and he trembled and prayed, hoping that Ye Sheng would spare his life.

Before the word "person" could be spoken, I saw He Yu suddenly reach out and clamp his chin, and with a forceful break, the jaw shook uncontrollably.

He Yu raised his hand and poured the poisonous wine into Liu En's mouth without a drop.

Liu En let out a scream like a pig, and he rolled on the ground, constantly pinching his throat.

In Liu Engou's lingering wail, another person entered the inner room. He directly raised his feet to Liu En, who was struggling across the country, and bowed his hand to Ye Sheng.

"My lord, the three armies are still stable and proper. ”

"Very good. Ye Sheng stretched out his hand and pressed it on the top of the bridge of his nose.

"Eldest son, Liu En has solved it, you better go and rest early. Seeing that Liu En didn't move, He Yu stepped forward and kicked hard, and added with concern, "You haven't slept well for a month, if you are holding on, you will really become ill from hard work." ”

"Not busy. Ye Sheng smiled and waved his hand, and under the faint black around him, there were a pair of bright eyes.

"Before I rest, I have to let the people of Xitang rest and rest. ”

"Wash the inkstone, find two people to carry Liu En's body, and walk around the street. You hold up a board, ask the people about his evil deeds, and then walk around with the board. He glanced at Liu En in disgust, got up and commanded.

Xi Yan innocently pursed his mouth and glared at He Yu resentfully.

He Yu, who didn't have his turn to do the drudgery, shrugged his shoulders, ignored Xi Yan's eyes, raised his hand to stop Ye Sheng, who wanted to go out with Xi Yan, and insisted:

"Eldest Prince, I understand your mentality of wanting to calm the people's hearts, but what you need now is not the people's hearts, but rest. ”
