Chapter 253 The dilapidated mansion
"It's said that we adults don't try the case, so you can hurry up and stay where it is." The servant was woken up from a sweet dream, and his face was unhappy.
Lan Xin was also anxious, and when he saw the drum hammer placed in the corner of the bell and drum, he immediately picked it up, and beat the bell and drum fiercely, which knocked out all the sleepiness of the servant at once, and the servant stood up with a grunt, covered one ear with one hand, and snatched the drum hammer in Lan Xin's hand with the other.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry for you, don't knock, I'll take you to meet our adults." The official said helplessly.
Although Lan Xin was extremely dissatisfied with this way of dealing with errands, now was not the time to lose his temper with such a little person, so he endured his anger and followed the official into the palace.
The government office seemed even more deserted, and there was not even a person cleaning the yard, so the official took the two directly to the back hall, and then left a sentence: "You just wait here first, I'll go and invite our adults to come over." ”
Lan Xin found out that the back hall was also covered with a thick layer of ash, let alone sitting, and he didn't even feel like a place to put his feet, looking at the tea set on the machine next to him, he didn't know when the tea was used, and the tea stains inside had dried out.
"Lord Wang, the officials here are too disrespectful, where is there the appearance of the imperial court?" Lan Xin couldn't help but start complaining.
"It's dirty everywhere, it's been 800 years since a case has been tried."
Mo Yan didn't answer, Lan Xin muttered to himself for a while, and felt that it was not even interesting, the two of them just stood in the back hall, waiting for this long-awaited official master, waiting, waiting, Lan Xin felt that even if he slept for a while, people should be here at this time, why didn't he see this official master appear for a long time, just when he was puzzled, Lan Xin suddenly caught a glimpse of a sneaky figure behind the curtain, without saying a word, he opened the curtain and reached out to catch the sneaky person in.
"Who! What the hell! Lan Xin asked coldly.
"Childe, childe, let go, let go!" The one who was caught was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early forties, and Lan Xin looked at this person.
"Who are you? What the hell is going on here? Lan Xin asked.
"Childe, I am Liu Yi, the county official here, I heard the official just now, Childe beats the drum, I don't know what is going on?" Liu Yi said with a smile on his face, this smiling face can't see the majesty of being an interesting official at all, but it looks a little oily and smooth, and he doesn't seem to be a sincere person.
"You're the county magistrate here?" Lan Xin looked at this person from head to toe, and if he didn't say it, he would definitely treat him as a thief and beat him up.
Although Liu Yi didn't know Mo Yan's identity, he knew that he must not be an ordinary person when he saw his extraordinary temperament, so he spoke extra carefully and politely, for fear that he would be someone he couldn't afford to offend.
"Yes, yes, yes." Liu Yi hurriedly said.
"Where are all your people?" Mo Yan suddenly asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know what ...... this son is," Liu Yi hesitated slightly.
"It's really blind to your dog's eyes, and even the dignified King of Beijing doesn't know!" Lan Xin suddenly wanted to be a sycophant to cater to Moyan's little guy at this moment, looking like I have the backstage and my biggest appearance.
As soon as Liu Yi heard the name of King Beijing, he was immediately so frightened that his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, and quickly kowtowed: "The lower official didn't know that the prince was there in person, so he neglected the prince and asked the prince to forgive him." ”
Mo Yan glanced at Lan Xin, revealing his identity in front of a small county view, what did he want to make trouble?
"Let me ask you, why has this government become like this? What about the officials here? Mo Yan asked in a deep voice.
Liu Yi hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Back to the prince's words, this was not the case before, but since those who preach the six main gods came here, everything has changed, there is no lawsuit, and no one has complained, originally I thought this was a good thing, but I didn't expect the situation to become more and more serious, even the officials in the government office, now they believe in the six main gods, and like the people, they have reached the point of obsession, so the government has become what the prince sees now." ”
It's the Six Lords again! Mo Yan and Lan Xin glanced at each other, how far had their power expanded? Lan Xin felt very heavy in his heart, since ancient times, many coups and changes have been set off because of these religious beliefs, do the people of the Seven Evil Temples want to use the sect and religion to carry out a national reform?
"As a parent official here, your subordinates and people are addicted to evil and religion, you should take active and useful measures, instead of closing the door of this mansion and making it happen!" Mo Yan stared at Liu Yi and said in an unkind tone.
Liu Yi just admitted his mistake vigorously, there was no panicked expression on his face, and he seemed to have expected this situation: "It's all the dereliction of duty of the lower officials, and the lower officials are not doing things well, please punish the prince." ”
Moyan Nature's Way, this Liu Yi can say such a thing now, which proves that he still knows in his heart what the so-called Six Dao Gods are, and if he is punished at this time, I am afraid that there will be no more sober people in this mansion.
"This king will naturally punish you for your crimes, your inaction is also an indulgent of the whole thing, and you have an unshirkable responsibility, according to the laws of our country, if officials do not act, they should be dismissed from their official positions and exiled to the desert!" Mo Yan didn't look like a joke at all, and suddenly, Liu Yi's frightened expression stiffened, and a burst of horror appeared on his face.
Desert land, even if they haven't been there, they have heard of it, it is an endless desert, and they can't even find a water source, but in that kind of barren place, there are often wild beasts, I heard that no one who went there could come out alive, Liu Yi didn't expect the consequences to be so serious, and he no longer had the calmness he had before, and he began to be afraid.
"Wang ...... Rajah...... Xiaguan ...... Xia Guan ......: "Liu Yi is so scared that he can't even say a complete sentence now.
"But ......" Mo Yan's tone suddenly took a turn, and Liu Yi immediately stared at him nervously, and his heart was completely hung by him.
A flash of light flashed in Mo Yan's eyes without a trace, that's right, this is the effect he wanted, paused slightly, and then continued: "However, according to this king, this is not all your fault, after all, the evil cult organization is too large, and it cannot be solved by you alone, so this king will give you a chance to make up for it, if you are willing to accept it, I will naturally explain your crime to you in front of the emperor, but if you ......"
"The sinner willing! The sinner is willing to give credit to the crime, and everything is sent by the king! Liu Yi didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and hurriedly said.
Lan Xin couldn't help muttering in his heart, sure enough, the person who plays tricks on his heart can figure out people's hearts best, Mo Yan seemed to be able to hear something muttering in his heart, and actually glanced back at Lan Xin, Lan Xin was so frightened that he quickly twisted his head to the side, as if he had done something wrong.
"Good! Let me ask you again, how many men do you have now? Mo Yan asked.
This made Liu Yi feel embarrassed on his face, and hesitantly stretched out five fingers, and Lan Xin immediately answered: "Five hundred? ”
Liu Yi shook his head, Lan Xin's eyes widened, and he had already said the bottom line in his heart: "Fifty people? ”
After Liu Yi listened, the expression on his face was distorted, and he said embarrassedly: "No, plus the lower officials, there are five people left." ”
"Five people?!" Lan Xin raised her voice abruptly, looking incredulous.
"You're not mistaken! Yuncheng! You're in charge of such a big city, and you only have five people left? Counting you? Are you kidding me? Lan Xin couldn't believe her ears.
"Little boy, it's all here, where do the lower officials dare to hide it, except for the lower officials, there is only one gatekeeper left, and the other three guard the city gate, and there is no other." Liu Yi cautiously explained.
Hearing this, Lan Xin looked a little puzzled: "Lord Liu, are you sure you are telling us the truth?" We came in through the gates, and I could see clearly that there were definitely more than three guards at the gates! ”
Liu Yi hurriedly said: "Little boy, what I said is true, I really only have three people left guarding the city gate, and the other people you see are all people who Dongfang Gongzi temporarily lent me." ”
"Dongfang Childe? Dongfang You? Lan Xin asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, yes, it's the eldest prince." Liu Yi replied.
"These days when Yuncheng is sluggish, all of them are supported by the eldest prince's busy work, if it weren't for the eldest prince's help, I'm afraid I don't even have a single person under me now." Liu Yi had a grateful expression on his face.
However, this made Lan Xin and Mo Yan suspicious in their hearts, why did the Dongfang family actively help Liu Yi if they didn't care about worldly things? Is it really kindness? No! They absolutely didn't believe that Dongfang You would help Liu Yi so simply, he must have some other purpose.
"Tomorrow the five of you, at the same time, are waiting in this place, and this king has a task for you." Mo Yan said suddenly.
Lan Xin looked at Mo Yan with some concern, this Liu Yi is involved with Dongfang You, arrange a task for him, Dongfang You will definitely know, when the time comes, if he destroys it, it will not be good.
Mo Yan gave Lan Xin a calm look.
"Yes! The lower officials obeyed the orders of the prince. Liu Yi said immediately.
Leaving the mansion, the two of them looked at the fiasco on the street, they were in a bad mood, and no one spoke along the way, but as they walked, a trace of cold air gradually appeared on Mo Yan's face, and he slowly reached out and grabbed Lan Xin, Lan Xin felt that Mo Yan was holding it too tightly, and when he was about to break free, he suddenly saw a black shadow, all jumping down from the high roof, staring at them with murderous faces.
