According to the usual practice, on the first day of Heng Xinyuan's arrival in Liangzhou City, the local officials should set up a banquet to entertain them, but because Wan Bingyu and Heng Xinyuan both resolutely said that they were too tired to deal with those things, and the current situation in Liangzhou City was not good, Xu Shi had to choose to give up the great opportunity to set up a banquet to entertain him.

originally thought that Heng Xinyuan would have to rest for two days before he would be concerned about the current situation in Liangzhou City, but the next day he said to Xu Shi: "I want to go to Yamen." ”

Xu Shi's face turned pale when he said this.

It's not that he doesn't want to take Hengxin to the yamen, but he doesn't dare to take it, he hasn't had time to talk to the people below, if this trip passes, what can Shen Ya do if he sees any clues?

Xu Shi didn't dare to take the risk, so he said to Shen Ya in a trembling voice: "The general has just arrived in Liangzhou City, and he is tired from running around all the way, so let's rest for a few more days and then go to the Yamen to meet those subordinates. ”

Xu Shi's words were good, but Heng Xinyuan didn't believe a word.

Sort out the materials and send them to him? Xu Shi is already very good if he doesn't do it secretly.

"My wife and I encountered the tragedy in Zhaojia Village on the road, and every time I was free, I couldn't help but think of the tragedy of those people, and I was really ashamed in my heart.

Heng Xinyuan insisted on going to the Yamen, and Xu Shi had no choice but to agree.

There is no way, he is the minister of the imperial court, and he even has the right to cut first and then play, Xu Shi doesn't want to put his life into it.

"Madame, do you want to go with us?"

At that time, Wan Bingyu was sitting next to her, she didn't expect the topic to suddenly turn to herself, she half-frowned and shook her head and said, "I'm going to Liangzhou City to walk around today, so I don't deserve my husband to go to Yamen together." ”

She is still very relieved of Heng Xinyuan's ability to do things.

A trace of worry flashed in Heng Xinyuan's eyes: "It's okay, but Madame remember to bring two people when she goes out, the nearest Liangzhou City is not as peaceful as it was back then." ”

After admonishing Wan Bingyu a few words, Heng Xinyuan followed Xu Shi to the yamen.

Because this time I came here on a temporary basis, the people in the yamen were a little stunned, especially those few officials who had nothing to do, and their eyes were about to pop out when they saw Heng Xinyuan's arrival.

"Heng...... Master Heng! ”

Most of these officials are familiar faces, they were there when Heng Xin was in Liangzhou City before, and they can only be said to be close to Zhu Zhechi, after Xu Shi took office, these people completely changed their appearance, he was a little disappointed, so he just nodded and said hello.

The officials and messengers stood together, all looking cramped.

It's one thing to know that Heng Xinyuan is not dead, but it's another thing to see him come back with his own eyes, and the officials can't hold back their curiosity, and they look in the direction where Heng Xinyuan is from time to time.

"Is this the information about the mountain bandits?" Heng Xinyuan picked up a thin piece of paper, there were only a few lines on it, only recording the time when the mountain bandits appeared, the location where they had committed crimes, and there was no other information at all! These so-called information are not even as good as the news he heard from the mouths of the people! From here, it is enough to get a glimpse of the lazy attitude of Xu Shi and his subordinates!

Xu Shi said in a cold sweat: "The relevant information is indeed only these, those mountain bandits are ruthless, and there is almost no living mouth in the places they have passed, no one has seen their true faces at all, and these materials are also collected by the lower officials with great difficulty......"

Heng Xinyuan couldn't help but sneer: "It's really not easy!" ”

His gaze swept over the public hall one by one, and he saw that all the staff of the yamen were trembling underground, but he did not see any military personnel.

Heng Xinyuan suddenly felt extremely anxious: "Why isn't the commander of the defenders of Liangzhou City here?" ”

Xu Shi's heart chuckled, his eyes turned, he really didn't see it, and he immediately knew that the big thing was not good: "Chen Lin may have led his troops out of the city to suppress the bandits, and he hasn't returned yet, so the lower official will send someone to invite him over." ”

"Lord Xu, your Liangzhou prefect is too weak."

"Yes......"

"Everyone knows that the Qin Cha should tidy up and come to meet on the second day, your subordinates are good, and they have a casual attitude, do you not take this official in your eyes at all?"

Xu Shi shouted injusticely: "Then Chen Lin may have heard reliable news in the morning, so he took people out of the city to suppress the bandits, and now what is the situation around Liangzhou City, the general also knows, the situation is so urgent, Chen Lin is also for the sake of the people, and please don't blame the general." ”

"Oh? What do you say? But I said that I ignored the safety of the people of Liangzhou City for my own selfishness? ”

"The lower officials don't dare."

After saying this, Xu Shi's back was already dripping with cold sweat, he knew that Heng Xin was far from being entangled, but he didn't expect this person to be so difficult, I hope Chen Lin can be clever today, don't let this person catch the handle.

As soon as Heng Xinyuan came to the Yamen, he was embarrassed by Xu Shi, who had always been a powerful and blessed person, which made the officials of the Yamen seem to see hope, although they are afraid of him, but they are more expectant.

If Master Heng makes a move, it won't take long for Liangzhou City to return to its original appearance.

Xu Shi was still hunched over in a posture of saluting, because Heng Xinyuan intended to embarrass him, so he hung him for a long time, until Chen Lin returned to the yamen, he could not let go of this adult whose waist was almost not straight.

"You are Chen Lin?" Heng Xinyuan's gaze fell on the young man who stepped into the yamen.

"Exactly." Chen Lin bowed.

I didn't expect Xu Shi's henchman in Liangzhou City to be such a young person, and he was able to sit in the position of lieutenant at a young age, so he probably has quite a means, right?

Caution made Heng Xinyuan dare not underestimate the young man in front of him, and only twisted his eyebrows and asked him: "You led the troops out to suppress the bandits early this morning?" ”

Chen Lin agreed.

"How many men and horses did you bring, where did you go to suppress the bandits, and what was the harvest?"

Heng Xinyuan asked a series of questions, but Chen Lin answered them all fluently, but he was a little hesitant about the harvest, because he found nothing, and when he went, he only saw the corpses of the village.

If this cruel method is allowed to continue, I am afraid that the entire Liangzhou City will fall into a kind of panic, and the reputation of the government will become more and more unpleasant, and there will be a riot at that time.

Heng Xinyuan pressed his forehead with a faint pain, and said to Chen Lin with a gloomy gaze: "You are guilty." ”

Chen Lin was surprised, he acted according to Xu Shi's orders, at most it could only be said that it was useless, why did the person in front of him say that he was guilty?

Chen Lin was not convinced.

"Dare to ask the general, what are the crimes of his subordinates?"

Heng Xinyuan snorted coldly, and slowly stood up from his position: "You are disrespectful to Shangfeng, and you have led the troops to suppress the bandits several times, but you haven't even touched the corners of the mountain bandits, the first time it can be said that it is useless, but several times it is unfavorable, it is obvious that your talent is not worthy of your position at all, so you are guilty, and you should be punished if you are guilty, and you should not do it in the future." ”
