Chapter 31: The Wandering Truth
"Of course, the most important thing is that the money and food in the government treasury are not enough, such a large-scale expansion, completed within half a year, requires a lot of manpower and material resources, Lingwu County may be difficult to bear."
Yang You said all the reasons for restricting the expansion of the county in one breath.
Li Xing knew that he was thinking simply.
But this is a system task, no matter how difficult it is, he has to do it.
"The official will find a way to solve these difficulties, and what you have to do now is to complete the drawing design of the new city as soon as possible."
"Students understand."
Yang You's heart was excited, his father's dying wish was finally about to be opened in his hands, so he hurriedly agreed.
Leaving Yang You's room, Li Gou'er happened to have returned.
It's just that Jiang Hong is still followed behind him.
As soon as they met, before Li Gou'er saluted and reported, Jiang Hong was already angry and began to ask: "Li Xing, what the hell are you doing?" With such a strict law on the people, do you know that there will be a big mess under the pressure! ”
"I know, but we have to do it, we have limited manpower, and more and more displaced people will come to the county government in the future, among which there are good people, and there will also be evil people, if you don't punish it severely, it will really be chaotic, then it will be uncontrollable."
After Li Xing finished speaking, Jiang Hong still didn't understand.
"Then there's no need to kill! Isn't it okay to just manage the cell? ”
Li Xing shook his head: "No, if you want to build and develop Lingwu County, you can't manage the chaos, only if everyone is afraid of the law and doesn't go beyond the thunder pool, can we achieve a harmonious construction of Lingwu, and of course, more importantly, take this opportunity to get rid of those people with ulterior motives." ”
"Ulterior motives?"
Jiang Hong was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood: "Are you saying that someone doesn't want these disaster victims to work and live here well, and wants to destroy?" ”
Li Xing didn't answer, but reminded with a smile: "Mr. Jiang catches the head, someone is deliberately making trouble, you can interrogate it well before the execution, and the truth will naturally come out." ”
Speaking of interrogation, Li Xing suddenly thought of Steward Liu.
That old thing eats antidote pills, and I don't know if I'm dead.
Thinking of this, Li Xing said to the two: "It's better to come early than to come by chance, let's go to the prison together, interrogate Steward Liu, and see how many secrets the Liu family has." ”
Jiang Hong's eyes couldn't help but light up: "That Steward Liu is not dead?" ”
"You also know that he took Gorisan?"
Li Xing subconsciously asked, but after asking, he secretly scolded himself for being stupid.
The entire prison cell was watched by the people of Woniu Mountain, and the prince knew that it was not a normal thing.
"As the chief arrester of a person in charge, on the first day I took over the prison, I had already interrogated all the prisoners, combined with the files, and all those who were falsely accused and wronged were released home, and the rest were either unwilling to leave or truly guilty."
After Jiang Hong finished speaking triumphantly, Li Xing realized that it was no wonder that the last time he went, he felt empty inside.
It turned out that the crown prince had already released a group of wronged people.
However, for the prince's self-assertion, he chose to turn a blind eye, more seriously, that is a fool, and the prince will be his own thigh in the future.
"Brother Jiang, you are becoming more and more conscientious, and it is really an honor for this official to have a helper like you."
"Haha, Master Li, sure enough, you know me best, as long as we cooperate, we are absolutely invincible in the world."
Jiang Hong was a little floating again.
Even on the way, he told Li Xing how he came to Lingwu County and became a bandit.
Of course, Jiang Hong still concealed his identity.
only said that he was the bloodline of the Kyoto family, and the elders of the family said that he was not diligent, so that he could experience the life of the people.
He felt that having an escort with him was not an experience of life at all, so he secretly got rid of the guards, got into an empty car delivering food on the way back, covered himself with a sack, and avoided interrogation.
He didn't bring any silver, so he even came to Lingwu with a wanderer who asked for food.
As he spoke, Jiang Hong's eyes were a little red, with his own grievances and sympathy for the tragic death of the victims on the road.
Just when he was about to starve to death, Yang You saved him.
Once he went out hunting and met Ouyang Xiong, the two had a conflict, he defeated Ouyang Xiong, and Ouyang Xiong became his subordinate.
When Jiang Hong said this, Li Xing couldn't help pouting.
The heart said, you two fools, do you have any misunderstanding of your force value?
Ouyang Xiong was sent by your emperor's father, and if he loses to you, he is making a show.
"What? You don't believe me? ”
Seeing Li Xing pouting, Jiang Hong asked angrily.
Li Xing didn't expect that when the prince spoke, he was still staring at him, so he could only explain embarrassedly: "I don't know what's going on today, I always feel that there are small worms in my throat." ”
"Brother Jiang, I listened to your story, and I feel more and more that we are cordial, I have also been wandering for eight years, and I have also experienced your experience, but I am not as good as you, I have no power to restrain the chicken, and I can only beg for mercy or slip away when I encounter danger."
Jiang Hong was told this by Li Xing, and thought of a piece of information about Li Xing that Ouyang Xiong gave him.
Gently afraid to pat Li Xing's shoulder: "I have also heard some about you, it is indeed not easy for you to live, but with me in the future, any assassins and killers will not work, I will make them all ghosts under the knife." ”
Speaking of force, Jiang Hong has the confidence of a mystery.
Li Xing was thinking about whether to tell Jiang Hong the truth, so as not to suffer a big loss in this matter.
When Li Xingyu told the truth, Jiang Hong began to tell his heroic deeds again.
"We and Ouyang Xiong heard that there is a Woniu Mountain here, and the mountain bandits in it are all evil, so we discussed it and decided to exterminate it, and Ouyang Xiong found more than a dozen trustworthy brothers."
"We sneaked into Woniu Mountain overnight, killed all their leaders, and hung their heads at the door of the cottage, and the rest of the mountain bandits were stupid, and they directly worshipped and recognized our brother as the boss."
Jiang Hong said this, and the context of their entry into Wolong Mountain was already very clear.
In fact, it was the prince who left Kyoto by mistake and arrived in Lingwu, and the emperor asked the shadow guard to protect him in order to protect the prince, so those friends who came to him were actually not friends at all, and they were also members of the shadow guard.
It's just that Li Xing still doesn't understand a little bit, since he found the prince, why didn't the emperor let the prince return to Beijing, but let these shadow guards cooperate with the prince to run the cottage, and even the official army surrounded and suppressed, the emperor didn't stop it.
What is the intent of this?
Li Xing found that he was becoming more and more unable to see through and think through.
and his own cheap dad, what role does Xing Guogong play in this?
Obviously, in addition to the emperor, his father is also one of the insiders.
"Hey, Li Xing, why are you stunned? I haven't said anything about how I will fight against the officers and soldiers and how I will accept the victims! ”
Jiang Hong was talking energetically, and when he found that Li Xing was in a daze, he pushed him and asked.
Li Xing came back to his senses at this time, glared at Jiang Hong angrily, and said perfunctorily: "Listen! It's just that I've heard about your deeds later, I'm thinking, why are you so powerful at a young age, when can I become a person like you? ”
