"You threaten me?" Wang Mang asked in a cold voice.
"Do you have what it takes?"
"Xiao'er, you dare to be so contemptuous...... Wang Mang pointed at Ji Xuan angrily, before he finished speaking, Ji Xuan took out the Heavenly Master Seal, looked at each other, Ji Xuan said coldly: "Believe it or not, I will now issue the words 'Ningcheng has attracted karmic fire to burn the city' on the Heavenly Master Seal, and I guarantee that in less than a quarter of an hour, you will be relieved of your position as the general of the government army?"
Ji Xuan's words made Wang Mang angry and couldn't get out, so he could only glare at Ji Xuan angrily.
Ji Xuan also looked at him like this, and the crowd of onlookers became lively.
"The county commander is domineering, and he shocked the generals of the government army with one sentence. ”
"Yes, the county magistrate is really capable, unlike this group of people who eat the things grown by the common people and use the fruits of the people's hard work, but they have never helped us. The county magistrate is different, he came to Ningcheng without saying a word, rectified the style of Ningcheng, and never asked our people for anything. He is the real Qingtian Lord in our minds. ”
"Yes, this group of government troops, after eating and holding on, after seeing that the county commander has rectified Ningcheng, he immediately wants to come to loot the people's fat and people's ointment. ”
"Yes! Fortunately, the county magistrate is very powerful, and one sentence makes them like grandsons. ”
Wang Mang and others came in high spirits, but they stood at the gate of the county government with a disgraced face, at a loss.
Wang Mang's face turned blue, and he couldn't imagine that he had been on the battlefield, fought bandits in the mountains, and went to the sea to suppress thieves. But he dared not speak out in front of Ji Xuan, because he believed that as long as Ji Xuan spread the news that Ningcheng had attracted the city to the city of karma, not to mention whether he still had official positions, it was difficult to say whether the prefect would be replaced.
Thinking of the key, he finally understood why Ma Si didn't tell the prefect the news. It turned out that he had already been well versed in the relationship, and he clearly knew that Ji Xuan had attracted karmic fire to punish the bullies in Ningcheng, and it should not be spread out, once it was spread, it was very likely to affect his brother-in-law.
"General Wang, please!" Ji Xuan made a gesture of invitation and made a way for Wang Mang.
Wang Mang could only leave indignantly, leaving behind a back that everyone secretly applauded.
"The county magistrate is really capable! What can the government army do when they come? In front of the county magistrate, he is not the same as leaving with a disgraced face. ”
"Haha, that's relieving. At first, I thought that the government army was here to help us get out of the sea of suffering, but I didn't expect him to come to trouble the county commander, should!"
"You deserve it. ”
Everyone exchanged with relish, looking at Ji Xuan with admiration, and some unmarried girls couldn't wait to paste themselves upside down to Ji Xuan.
However, Ji Xuan didn't have this thought, so they had to retract their commotion in a stupid manner.
Ji Xuan watched Wang Mang lead the people away, when their figures were completely covered by the crowd. Ji Xuan walked into the county office.
But just as he stepped into the threshold of the county government, a shout behind him stopped him.
"Your Excellency. Can I delay you a little bit?"
Ji Xuan turned around and found that Liu Ling, who was not in a very good mental state standing behind him, although Liu Ling's clothes were neatly dressed at this time, his hair was a little messy, as if he had not combed it and came to the county office.
In the crowd, Liu Yang was dressed in plain clothes. used actions to tell Ji Xuan that Liu Ling was assassinated again last night, but the assassin was blocked by them, and Liu Ling was fine.
"Oh, it's General Liu. Ji Xuan smiled and greeted.
"My lord, don't call it that. The lowly position is just a handyman, and he will ...... Maybe I don't even have the opportunity to do chores. Liu Ling spread his hands with a wry smile, his face complicated.
"How do you say this?" Ji Xuan asked as he pretended to be curious and looked at Liu Ling.
"My lord, I wonder if you can borrow a step to speak?"
"It's okay, General Liu, please. Ji Xuan nodded, and then made a gesture of please, Liu Ling waved his hand again and again, letting Ji Xuan walk in front.
Ji Xuan was also not polite, and walked to the street on the right side of the county office.
This street is not crowded with people, it is relatively quiet, and if it were in the past, there might not even be a single person.
Because Ningcheng was really chaotic at that time, everyone stayed at home to avoid personal accidents, and even if they went out, they hurriedly bought the things they needed and went home immediately.
However, after Ningcheng was cleaned up by Ji Xuan, those small and powerful families or forces all stopped cooking, and they all knew that whoever came out at this time must be the number one target of the county government.
The county government can even slaughter Chengjiazhuang and the mountain bandits and pirates, how can these small forces resist the violent organization of the county government?
The two of them walked on the road, neither of them spoke, and Ji Xuan didn't force Liu Ling, anyway, when he saw Zheng Shaojun, the leader of the defeated army, Ji Xuan could also find out who wanted to harm him.
Coercing Liu Ling will only make the people behind him mobilize more powerful forces to destroy him, once Liu Ling dies, it will really be dead without proof, even if he finds out what if he instructs Liu Ling to commit fraud and theft, he is still on the passive side.
"Adult ......"
After a long silence, Liu Ling paused and shouted.
"Huh?" Ji Xuan tilted his head slightly and looked at him.
"Humble ...... The little ones feel sorry for you. Liu Ling said that he was humble at first, but later changed his words to small, which shows that he lost his enthusiasm for serving in the army.
If it weren't as Ji Xuan expected, after the Baishi military salary case was concluded, Liu Ling would definitely leave the army.
"Is it a guilty conscience?" asked Ji Xuan.
"Yes. Liu Ling nodded, and then said: "In fact, with the wisdom of the county commander, I must have already known about the theft of the Baishi military salary, and someone did it on purpose. ”
"Huh. Ji Xuan smiled, noncommittal.
Seeing this, Liu Ling was even more convinced that Ji Xuan had long known that the theft of the Baishi military salary was deliberately done by someone, and as for why Ji Xuan had been protecting him, he was a little unable to see through.
"My lord, I don't know what you're going to do?" Liu Ling couldn't help but ask, and finally asked.
"What do you think I should do?" Ji Xuan asked rhetorically.
"Adults, what do you say, and the little ones try to cooperate with you. Liu Ling plucked up his courage and said firmly.
"Is this true?" Ji Xuan asked with a smile.
"Really. ”
"Very well, you have such an awareness, it proves that I am not wrong to protect you, of course! I will not force you to confess who instructed you to do this, I will only find him out myself, and you can help me testify in the end. Ji Xuan said with a smile.
"This ......" Liu Ling didn't expect Ji Xuan to need him to do to testify against the people behind him.
He could see from Ji Xuan's words that Ji Xuan didn't intend to force him to tell who instructed him to act in this scene, if it weren't for the sentence behind Ji Xuan who found out who was behind him, he would have stood up to help testify, he might have thought that Ji Xuan really didn't want to embarrass him.
But Ji Xuan told him that if he needed to testify against the people behind him, it would be equivalent to giving him a way out of life and forcing him to another point of no return......
