Chapter 277: Does This Method Work?
Chapter 277: Does This Method Work?
"Rules?" Chu Ruoyan sneered a few times, "If you want to talk about the rules, don't say anything about any of the adults, this king is in Dali Temple for a day, and the rules of this Dali Temple have to be set by me." ”
Liu Shangbiao and the others silently closed their mouths when they heard Chu Ruoyao's tough tone, and Chu Ruoyao then explained a few more words, and let these people leave.
There are different rooms in Dali Temple, and after Liu Shangbiao and the others came to their room, they put the files on the table.
"Lord Liu, what do you think of this Yan King?"
"This Yan King is not a simple character, you should know it too. King Yan was in a stupid state for more than ten years before, but he suddenly recovered recently, and he was reused by the emperor. But don't worry, the man in the palace said, I just need to deal with it, don't follow him too much everywhere. Liu Shangbiao said with a serious expression.
"But this King Yan is the secretary of Dali Temple, and he not only has the official seal in his hand, but also the holy decree, what should we do?"
"It's not simple," Liu Shangbiao disagreed, "Of course, it can be delayed, and you also know that these files left behind are some difficult cases, and even involve people in the palace, not something we can deal with, and then these things will be left to this King Yan to see what he should do." ”
When a group of people were discussing countermeasures here, Chu Ruoyan was arranging another matter with Li Luobing.
"Does this work?" Guo Dong asked.
"We have to give it a try, the people are now suspicious of the credibility of the officials of our court, and we must find a way to save this situation." Li Luobing said.
What they are writing now is actually a notice, the purpose of which is to allow people who were suspicious of Dali Temple to come and beat the drum to voice their grievances, but I don't know how much effect this post will play in the future.
After a few people finished writing, they posted this notice at the door, and also posted it in the most obvious place in Dali Temple, next to the drum. Less than half an hour after it was posted, a group of people gathered at the door.
"Guo Dong, what's the situation outside?" Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing sat in the hall and asked.
"Back to Your Highness, there are a lot of people surrounded outside, but ...... But they are all doubting the authenticity of this notice. Guo Dong was a little afraid to speak, King Yan had high hopes for this notice, but now the effect received was not satisfactory.
"Let's go, let's take a look outside." After listening to Guo Dong's words, Chu Ruoyao and Li Luobing decided to go to the door to observe secretly, and several people secretly came to the gate of Dali Temple, and found that there were indeed a lot of people around, but none of them stepped forward to beat the drum.
"This Dali Siqing has been replaced by King Yan."
"Which Yan King?"
"Which one else could it be? It's the one who went crazy before! ”
As soon as they heard that it was the Yan King who was crazy before, the people hesitated even more, Chu Ruoyao's previous reputation was known all over the city, and now although he is the secretary of Dali Temple, everyone is very suspicious of Chu Ruoyao's ability.
"Forget it, let's go! It wasn't that there were still people who came to beat the drums, and it wasn't that they were kicked out. Someone in the crowd opened their mouths, and the onlookers gradually dispersed.
"Your Highness......" Guo Dong pointed outside, "You see, the people don't believe it. ”
Chu Ruoyan and Li Luobing were also worried about this matter, and before they could figure it out, the drum that had not moved suddenly sounded, and the three of them looked at it, only to see a middle-aged man with a cloak of hair beating the drum vigorously, and a white-haired old lady next to him kept pulling him.
"Don't knock, it's useless to knock, I've been here so many times, and no one has come out, so let's hurry home!"
"Mother, don't stop me." The middle-aged man knocked and said, "Isn't this Dali Temple?" Isn't this drum used to cry out grievances? Since no one is paying attention, why is this drum outside? ”
"What is Dali Temple? Can we get in? The old lady said worriedly.
"Of course you can go in." Chu Ruoyao, who had been in the shadows, suddenly stood up, which caught these two people off guard.
"Are you ......" The middle-aged man didn't expect that someone would really come out this time, and he didn't have much hope, he looked at Chu Ruoyao.
"I'm Dali Siqing!" Chu Ruoyan said with a faint smile, looked at the man, and gave him a reassuring look.
"Grass people Liu Yi has seen King Yan!" The middle-aged man named Liu Yi finally recognized who the person in front of him was, and quickly knelt down.
"Get up, go in and talk!" Chu Ruoyan motioned to Guo Dong to bring the two into Dali Temple, and when he came to the hall, Liu Yi wanted to kneel again, but Chu Ruoyan quickly stopped.
"Let's not be busy with that, let's say, why are you drumming?"
"Grass People...... Caomin heard that the new Dali Siqing came, and he was also His Royal Highness King Yan, so he came with the mentality of trying it out, I didn't expect you to ......" After saying this, Liu Yi raised his head and glanced at Chu Ruoyao in the hall.
"How?"
"I didn't expect you to be different from what was rumored." Liu Yi stammered.
"What do the rumors say?" Chu Ruoyan was very interested in Liu Yi's words.
"It is rumored that you ......" Liu Yi raised his head, Chu Ruowei gave him an encouraging look, Liu Yi swallowed his saliva and continued.
"Everyone says that when you go crazy, you kill people without blinking, and you eat people, and you ......"
"What?" Before Chu Ruoyao could speak, Li Luobing had already exclaimed in surprise. It's right to kill people without blinking, Chu Ruoyan did make a lot of trouble several times before, but how did this cannibalistic saying come out? Does anyone really believe such a statement?
"His Royal Highness King Yan forgives the sin, and the grass people just said everyone's rumors, the grass people have no intention of offending, and the grass people ......" Liu Yi was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and knocked his head "bang".
"Alright, don't knock it. Get up quickly! Tell me why you beat the drums. Chu Ruoyan was also ridiculed by this rumor. Liu Yi saw that Chu Ruoyan didn't look angry, so he cautiously got up from the ground.
"The grass people beat the drums, but also because there is really nowhere to redress grievances, the grass people's insider, Zhang's, disappeared five days ago, and the grass people did not find it after a search, so they could only come to Dali Temple to report to the official, but the first time...... The first time, an adult came out, asked if we had any money, and then drove the grass people away, and never opened the door to the grass people again. Liu Yi observed Chu Ruoyao's expression and told everything he had experienced.
"You said someone asked you for money? Do you remember who it was? ”
"That's ......" Liu Yi was about to speak, his mother, the gray-haired old lady pulled his sleeve and shook her head slightly.
"Why not?" Chu Ruoyan noticed the old lady's hesitation.
"My lord, we won't sue you." The old lady did not answer Chu Ruoyao's words positively, but pulled her son and wanted to leave. Chu Ruoyan didn't know what to do, and if she spoke again, the two of them probably wouldn't say anything.
"I'll do it!" Li Luobing, who was on the side, patted Chu Ruoyao's shoulder and motioned for him to leave the hall temporarily. Chu Ruoyan looked at Li Luobing and felt that this was also a good way. His facial expression was too serious, which was easy to scare them, but Li Ruobing, as a woman, was even easier to speak.
"Okay, I'll leave the rest to you, then I'll go first." Chu Ruoyan whispered a few words in Li Luobing's ear, picked up the remaining files on the table and walked to the back. And after Li Ruobing waited for Chu Ruoyu to leave, he personally sat next to the old lady, took her hand and asked.
"Auntie, you don't have to worry, it's okay to talk to me about anything, maybe I can give you an idea! The person just now is King Yan, and he is also the new Dali Siqing, although he looks more serious, he is still very good. Li Luobing did not forget to praise Chu Ruoyao while speaking, so as not to leave a bad impression in the hearts of these two people.
After Chu Ruoyao left, the old lady's mood was obviously relaxed, and Li Luobing comforted her with kind words beside her. The old lady thought about it and nodded to her son, motioning for him to tell him what had happened.
Liu Yi saw his mother nodding, so he took out the pleadings he had written before, and when he faced Chu Ruoyan just now, he forgot to take out the pleadings because he was too nervous. When Li Luobing looked at the paper seriously, Liu Yi continued to talk about the topic that had just been broken.
"The person who drove me out of Dali Temple before was Lord Liu, and I also asked someone to hand the paper inside, but because there was not enough silver, no one paid attention to it at all."
When Li Luobing heard that it was Lord Liu, he thought of the person who was the leader of today's group of adults, but he had an official appearance, but Chu Ruoyan and she both knew that this Lord Liu was not simple, and there must be a backer behind him who was directing his every move.
After Liu Yi finished speaking, Li Luobing did not reply immediately, but focused all his attention on the paper in his hand. Although it is a simple thing written above, but a big living person has been missing for five days, and Dali Temple doesn't care about this matter, even if these people don't do anything, then it should always be accepted on the paper, right? Unexpectedly, this Liu Yi didn't even send the paper.
"Grass People...... I don't know what this adult is called? After Liu Yi finished talking about his affairs, he remembered that he didn't know the name of the woman in front of him, but seeing her sitting with King Yan, her demeanor seemed to be relatively intimate, and she should not be an ordinary person.
It's no wonder that Liu Yi is just an ordinary farmer, although he has heard of Chu Ruoyao, the king of Yan, and knows that Chu Ruoyao has a princess, but because of Li Luobing's low profile, he doesn't know it at all, as for the security hall, he rarely gets sick, and he has no way of knowing Li Luobing's identity.
"Who do you think I should be?" Li Luobing said deliberately, her actions were also to make Liu Yi's mood relax. Sure enough, this move paid off.
