"Can't get busy?" Qin Huaidao sneered: "Since you can't be busy, then tell the old man to return to his hometown, and let the person who is busy take over, I heard that there is a person named Linghu Deqiu in Beijing, who is quite familiar with water conservancy, can you change him in your position?" ”

"This?"

Li Changyuan never expected that His Majesty would be so surprised.

Obviously, he killed the thief and had merit, and if he didn't reward him, he would forget it, so why did he still find all kinds of reasons to remove his own officials?

It's just that His Majesty said before that his dereliction of duty has been determined, and I'm afraid it won't work to mention the credit, so he is really scared in his heart.

The original plan was that if Li Shun didn't succeed, he would betray the people of the Cao Gang to keep him safe, but it seems that such thoughts were miscalculated.

Either way, he's going to fight again.

"Your Majesty, although the lower officials have been derelict in their duties, but it is precisely because of the lower officials that the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has been safe for many years, if it were not for this, Your Majesty would not only encounter a wave of assassins on this trip south, not to mention that the lower officials killed this wave of fleeing thieves, not only innocent but also meritorious......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Huaidao.

"So, I should reward you?"

Li Changyuan has been in officialdom all the year round, where can't he hear that Your Majesty is talking back? He hurriedly confessed: "Your Majesty, the lower officials do not want to be rewarded, but to be fair, the minister killed the thief, saved His Majesty, and was dismissed without a reward, what will the people on both sides of the canal think?" If this matter reaches Chang'an, what will the officials of the imperial court think? Please also think twice, Your Majesty. ”

Hearing this, Qin Huaidao couldn't contain his temper anymore and scolded.

"You!"

"With so many people from the Cao Gang besieging me, do you see any of my garrisons being damaged? I need you to save me? If you hadn't taken the lead, these rebels would have been killed sooner or later, what did you do? ”

Hearing His Majesty's words, Li Changyuan observed that His Majesty's personal guards, although these people looked tired, none of them were injured, and all of them were elite soldiers.

Several generals around him are even more ferocious, and no one is invincible.

And so it was!

Li Changyuan's heart was greatly shaken, he didn't know how His Majesty fought this water war, let alone how the Cao Gang lost, but he finally understood that Li Tai lost as a matter of course.

With only a hundred people, nearly 10,000 Cao Gang personnel were killed without leaving a single piece of armor, this kind of strength, except for His Majesty and the pro-army, who else can do it?

Seeing that he didn't fight back, Qin Huaidao continued: "Besides, you are in charge of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and there are so many rebels in your area, but you don't even notice it, and dare to say that you are not guilty?" ”

Forcibly shaking in his heart, Li Changyuan finally admitted it.

"Your Majesty's words are reasonable, and the minister has nothing to say."

"In that case," Gang Huaidao ordered: "Then you, the water capital supervisor, will go back to your hometown, and the new transfer envoy will be assigned by me, and you can wait for the river soldiers to return separately, and wait for the new transfer envoy to arrive, and then listen to the instructions." ”

Seeing this, everyone talked about it.

These river soldiers originally followed Li Changyuan to inspect, first the great merit came down out of thin air, and then saw His Majesty come in person, and finally the transfer made the Lord be deposed, the whole incident happened in less than half an hour, and they couldn't understand it at all, but since Your Majesty has a will, and seeing the divine power of the guards around Your Majesty, they naturally don't dare to say more.

After everyone dispersed, Qin Huaidao didn't say much, but just took the official boat and leaned in the direction of Wang Shengzhi.

Seeing His Majesty approaching, Wang Shengzhi hurriedly boarded the boat.

"Wang Shengzhi, the head of the sniper regiment, has seen Your Majesty." He paid Qin Huaidao the courtesy of a monarch and a minister.

Qin Huaidao hurriedly helped him up: "When you go out, you don't have to be polite, you did a good job just now, and now I have a very important task entrusted to you, you bring a few cronies to carry it out." ”

Wang Shengzhi arched his hand: "The minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations, and please ask Your Majesty to make it clear, what is the task?" ”

Qin Huaidao coldly looked in the direction where Li Changyuan was far away, and ordered Wang Sheng: "Quietly follow behind Li Changyuan, wait for the river soldiers to disperse, and when Li Changyuan returns to the house, kill them all, don't alarm the official mansion, and make it a revenge elephant for the Cao Gang." ”

Wang Shengzhi looked up and was a little stunned: "This? ”

Seeing his doubts, Qin Huaidao said: "Don't worry, I won't let you kill a good official by mistake, today's Jinmen crossing, this person must participate, and his interception and killing in the future is just killing people and killing people, I have checked the corpses of the Cao Gang, almost every corpse has been mended, if it is not for the ghost in his heart, how can this be?" ”

"If you don't feel at ease, before you kill Li Changyuan, you can say that you are a member of the Cao Gang, and you will come to him on the orders of the gang leader, and see how he reacts." Qin Huaidao added another sentence.

Wang Shengzhi was completely relieved: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this matter is on me." ”

With that, he took a few cronies out of the sniper group and touched in the direction where Li Chang was far away.

As for Qin Huaidao and the others, tonight's crisis has passed, the night is getting deeper, and it is no longer appropriate to sail again, anyway, there is no hurry, Qin Huaidao ordered to anchor on the other side of Jinmendu for one night, the garrison is already weak after a battle, and the night patrol work is done by the sniper regiment.

It's night.

The water capital supervised the transfer of the embassy.

Wang Shengzhi took his cronies to the top, and saw that Li Changyuan was hurriedly packing up his things after entering the house, and signaled several cronies not to act rashly, he quietly climbed over the wall himself, approached Li Changyuan when no one was around, and suddenly called him.

"Master Lee."

Li Changyuan was startled, seeing that the person who came was very unfamiliar, and was about to draw his knife to call someone, but he heard the person who came say: "Lord Li, the helper said that something big might happen tonight, so I waited in the house to protect Lord Li's family, but after waiting for half the night, I didn't see anything happen, the helper and many Cao Gang brothers went out and haven't returned yet, I wonder if Lord Li can tell the gang leader and the Cao Gang brothers that they are okay?" ”

At this time, Li Changyuan was already a frightened bird, and he couldn't think calmly at all.

"What gang leader, what's your gang leader's name? If you can't say it, I'll cut you! ”

Wang Shengzhi's face froze, the other party could say such a thing, and there was really a problem.

He made a silent gesture: "Shhhh ”

Li Changyuan said suspiciously: "You are really from the Cao Gang?" ”

"Is that fake?"

In connection with the major events that happened tonight, if it is not a person from the Cao Gang, then it is His Majesty's person, but His Majesty has already dismissed his own officials, and it is impossible to send someone to kill him again.

By this time he had believed seven or eight points.

Thinking that this person was within three steps of him, he didn't even find out, he must be a good hand who is not close enough to the Cao Gang, if the relationship is close, it is impossible not to know what to do tonight.

Since he is a good hand and his relationship with the Cao Gang is not close enough, he has room to use it.

"The general trend has gone, and the gang leader has been arrested in Jinmendu."
