When they walked out of the Wu Mansion, the officials were still a little confused, and Captain Cheng died like this?

Especially the officials who belong to the Zhongyitang faction, Cheng Lei is the captain of the Guardian Army, and after Wu Zhixiong's death, they have been faintly headed by Cheng Lei.

But Cheng Lei did this kind of thing again, saying that the person who killed him was Wu Zhixiong's son, and they couldn't say anything.

After Li Yuan led the officials of Lianyang County to leave.

When the people who had been outside the mansion learned the news inside the Wu mansion, the people talked about it like an explosion:

"I didn't expect Captain Cheng to dare to do such a thing, how much Wu Junshou trusted him before."

"Tut, as soon as Wu Junshou died, Captain Cheng went to play with other people's concubines, this kind of person really deserves to die."

"Hey, will Wu Junshou's death be related to Captain Cheng?" Suddenly, a person wondered.

The people nearby were silent for a moment,

Soon someone exclaimed:

"Damn, it seems to make sense to hear you say that!"

"I heard that Wu Junshou went there secretly, but he was attacked and killed halfway, and it is likely that someone close to him revealed it."

"I'm sorry, it won't be because Captain Cheng likes Xiaomei and deliberately revealed Wu Junshou's whereabouts."

"Hehe, I think it's very likely."

There was a man who said in a bad way:

Do you know that before Xiaomei entered the Wu Mansion, she was in love with Captain Cheng, but the beauty of Xiaomei that Wu Junshou took a fancy to snatched her away, every time Captain Cheng saw Xiaomei snuggled in Wu Junshou's arms, his heart was like a knife!

And you get the idea! ”

"And as soon as Wu Junshou dies, Captain Cheng is the most powerful person in Lianyang County, and it is not impossible to become a county guard!"

"Oh! I see! ”

As soon as a few people said a word, the wind of words around them suddenly changed, and suddenly countless plots were filled in the minds of the surrounding people, about the love and hatred of Wu Zhixiong, Cheng Lei, and Xiaomei.

As night fell, the rumors that Cheng Lei framed Wu Junshou became more and more intense, and most of the people believed this statement.

Even the officials of the Zhongyitang faction came up with an idea, could it really be that Cheng Lei framed Wu Junshou, and then wanted to be the county guard?

That night, Li Yuan lived in the Lin Mansion and summoned 16 major officials such as Lin Feng, Zhang Hongxing, and Wang Yi as civil and military officials.

In the lobby, officials sit on the left and right.

Lin Feng looked at Zhang Hongxing, and the smugness in his eyes was very obvious.

Zhang Hongxing's face sank, revealing a trace of unwillingness.

There are also two emotions in the civil officials below, the officials close to Lin Feng are smiling, and the officials close to Zhang Hongxing are a little worried, their eyes scanning the code between Lin Feng and Zhang Hongxing, with different thoughts.

And Wang Yi and the four generals of the Protector Army sat on the sidelines, not saying a word, they also heard the rumors that Cheng Lei framed Wu Junshou, if Cheng Lei's incident did not happen today, they would not have believed it at all.

But Cheng Lei is dead, and it is also true that he cheated with his concubine in Wu Mansion, and now as Cheng Lei's subordinates, they have received a lot of strange eyes on this day, and they don't know what the King of Chu thinks of them.

On the main seat, Li Yuan's face was calm, and the expressions of everyone's different thoughts were seen by Li Yuan, and he said in a calm tone:

"Ladies and gentlemen, you should be clear about the purpose of this king's visit to Lianyang County this time.

First, the Wu county guard is dead, and this king needs to choose a suitable candidate for the county guard.

Second, this king suspected that someone in Lianyang County deliberately framed Wu Junshou for a long time, and he must be found out! ”

Everyone's faces turned pale, and they all looked at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan looked at Wang Yi and the four generals, and said:

"Deputy Lieutenant Wang, the four commanders, this king has also heard about today's rumors, but you still remember what this king said today The rumors stop at the wise, before there is no evidence, don't judge a person easily, whether Cheng Xiaowei is the person who framed Wu Junshou, this king still needs to investigate, and this king also believes you."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust."

Wang Yi and the four commanders immediately stood up to thank them, looking at Li Yuan with very grateful eyes, the strange eyes of the officials just now made them helpless.

King Chu's words gave them a clean slate.

"But because of Cheng Lei's matter, I'm afraid that many officials are dissatisfied with the guards, and this king wants to select a captain from among you to be in charge of the soldiers and horses, and I'm afraid that many people will not accept it.

Therefore, before Cheng Lei's framing of Wu Junshou was investigated, this king first asked Yuwen Chengdu to temporarily take the position of captain of Lianyang County, what do you think? ”

The four generals glanced at each other, and finally looked at Wang Yi, Wang Yi saw Li Yuan's trusting eyes, his heart was full of emotion, and he said respectfully:

"The last will obey the will of His Highness."

So the four generals said at the same time:

"The last will obey the will of His Highness."

"Good!"

After Li Yuan saw that the five of them agreed, he looked at Yuwen Chengdu and said in a loud voice:

"Yuwen Chengdu stepped forward to listen to the order!"

Yuwen Chengdu strides forward to receive orders:

"The last general will obey the order!"

Li Yuan said solemnly:

"Yuwen Chengdu will temporarily take the position of captain of Lianyang County from today to supervise the army and protect the safety of Lianyang!"

"The last general commands!"

When Yuwen Chengdu retreated to Wang Yi and the four generals, Li Yuan's gaze turned to a group of civil officials, and finally his gaze wandered between Lin Feng and Zhang Hongxing.

Everyone didn't dare to take a breath, they all knew that the king of Chu should appoint the position of county guard next.

When Li Yuan's last gaze rested on Lin Feng, the officials close to Lin Feng were overjoyed.

Zhang Hongxing's fists in his sleeves were clenched, revealing his unwillingness, and his eyes were full of jealousy in the face of Lin Feng's smug eyes.

Li Yuan announced in full view of everyone:

"A few days ago, the king of Japan sent Jia Xu to Lianyang County in advance, just to understand the talents of the officials in Lianyang County, Lin Juncheng and Zhang Zhubo are both outstanding talents."

"This king is willing to Lin Juncheng in the final choice."

Lin Feng was overjoyed in his heart, and he was ready for Li Yuan's appointment!

Zhang Hongxing's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head unwillingly.

However, he didn't expect Li Yuan's words to suddenly change, making Zhang Hongxing raise his head suddenly.

"However, when Cheng Lei happened today, this king found that he was still not very familiar with you, and the framing of Wu Junshou had not yet been investigated.

But Lianyang County has not had a county guard for a while, and how can a county land not be guarded by a county guard?

Therefore, this king intends to let Jia Xu temporarily serve as the county guard of Lianyang County. ”

Without waiting for Lin Feng's slightly changing face, Zhang Hongxing couldn't wait to say:

"Your Highness is wise, and the minister thinks that Lord Jia is erudite and talented, and is competent enough to serve as a county guard."

Zhang Hongxing's heart was up and down at this moment, as long as Lin Feng was not the county guard, he immediately agreed.

"Your Highness is wise!"

A group of officials behind Zhang Hongxing immediately got up and agreed.

In the end, everyone looked at Lin Feng with Li Yuan's gaze.

Lin Feng's face changed, and after seeing Zhang Hongxing's promise, he sighed in his heart, and finally got up and said:

"Weichen also thinks that Master Jia is capable of the duties of the county guard."
