At this moment, suddenly the crowd parted on both sides, and a procession rode quickly to the city gate. I saw that the leader was a man with a gentle temperament and a calm temperament.

In a short time they came to the gate, and they dismounted and marched forward on foot.

"Isn't that the county keeper, Lord He? He's here too. ”

"Yes, there are also Liu Duwei, Lord Tang, they are all here."

"Nonsense, didn't you see that our Lord Li Si is an inspector, such a big thing happened, they dare not show up?" The passers-by around whispered, looking at the group of Linghai County officials who had passed them.

This group came to the front of the cavalry and lined up with Taekun on the side. I saw that He County Guard, He Zhisheng saluted Li Si on the carriage and said, "Linghai County Guard He Zhisheng visited the inspector. ”

"Linghai County Governor Liu He meets the inspector!"

"Linghai County Cheng Tangshan to meet the inspector."

"Linghai County ......," He Zhisheng and the officials behind him bowed at the same time.

"Everyone, please get up!" Li Si had a majestic face and stood with one hand.

"Thank you, Inspector." The officials stood up.

"Bang!"

"Bang!" Li Si did not continue to speak, and the city gate fell silent again, only Zhang Shen was still being beaten.

After He Zhisheng and Li Si finished saluting, their faces were expressionless, and they also watched quietly. Behind him, several officials saw Zhang Shen's situation, looked at each other, and looked at each other without saying a word.

Several military commanders who followed behind Captain Liu heard the sound of Zhang Shen being beaten, especially the burly and vicious fierce man in front of them, which made their hearts tremble.

…………

"General Xu, a hundred boards is enough." It didn't take long for the soldiers on the side to prompt Xu Chudao.

"Xu?" He Zhisheng's pupils shrank, and his eyes stared at Xu Chu tightly.

"Enough fighting?" The thick stick in the air stopped suddenly, and Xu Chu still felt unfinished.

"Okay, hang him at the gate of the city for three days, and warn the soldiers, but this is the case with those who neglect their duties!" Xu Chu waved his hand and motioned for the two soldiers to tie up the unconscious Zhang Shen and hang him at the city gate.

"Wait a minute!" At this time, Liu Duwei finally couldn't sit still, he beat him in public, and then hung Zhang Shen up, this is to slap the face of the entire Linghai County guard, and if he doesn't make a sound, how to convince the public.

Liu Duwei took a step forward and said to Li Si: "Lord Li, Commander Zhang has always been conscientious, guarding the people, and has worked hard, and he left his post without permission today, and should be punished, but if he is a first offender, can he open the net, the city gate is where the façade of Linghai County is located, and it is really inappropriate for a dignified commander to hang at the city gate." Commander Zhang's face was extremely thin, and if he was punished like this, he would be very ashamed in his heart, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to face the soldiers under his command. ”

"Oh? Listen to what you mean, he can continue to serve as the gatekeeper. Li Si's tone was calm, but it was extremely penetrating, and it clearly reached the ears of everyone at the city gate.

Juncheng Tangshan took a step forward and arched his hand: "Lord Li, who can be innocent, know that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great." Commander Zhang has always been conscientious and conscientious to maintain the safety of the party, and the entire government of our Linghai County is looking at it. We can't erase his past merits because of a small mistake. If such a verdict is made, wouldn't it be chilling! ”

"Please think twice, Lord Li!"

"Please think twice, Lord Li!" Behind him, a group of civil and military officials said at the same time. Li Si looked at the persecution of the officials, and smiled coldly in his heart, he had already guessed that if he wanted to implement the policy of the Chu Palace, the two mansions of Lingyun Mansion and Linglie Mansion were the most difficult to deal with, these two mansions had always been in a peaceful situation, and every official in each county and city would have a relationship with the Lieyan Sect to a greater or lesser extent.

I didn't expect to give him a dismount when I first arrived! Is it to prove that they are united in the Linghai County Government?

"Lord He, do you think so too?" Li Si looked at He Zhisheng, who had been silent. He Zhisheng's heart froze, and he met Li Si's gaze, feeling an unprecedented pressure.

It's not eyes, it's not momentum, it's just a feeling, stronger than all the opponents he's seen before! Where the hell did this Lees come from?

It is rumored that the officials under the command of the King of Chu have two confidants, one is Xun Yu, and the other is Jia Xu, who is resourceful and strategic, and both of them are first-class top talents.

These two came out of nowhere, could it be that this one's level is also the same? And He Zhisheng thought about it, and everyone's eyes also looked at him.

I saw He Zhisheng raise his head, looked at Tai Kun on the other side, and said to Li Si: "Lord Li has just arrived, maybe he doesn't know what Commander Zhang is like, if the lower official explains Commander Zhang, he is suspected of asylum." This Tai deacon was sent by the Lieyan Sect to protect the stability of Linghai County, and the reputation of the Lieyan Sect was well-known in the entire Lingyun Mansion and even Lingzhou, and the Lieyan Sect had always been close to the King of Chu, so it was better to let him judge the guilt of Commander Zhang. Liu Yanxin's eyes were cold in the carriage, and He Zhisheng wanted to borrow the Lieyan Sect to block Li Si.

Liu Chenfeng was very indifferent: "The officials of these two prefectures are inextricably linked with our Lieyan Sect, and they can't be cut off if they want to." You should also know that most of the genius children of the Lieyan Sect, their family is backed by the Lieyan Sect, and their position in the city is very important, it is too easy to take up an official position, and it is they who form the huge network of the Lieyan Sect. Our Lieyan Sect is too proud, thinking that the Lieyan Sect is a great contributor to the King of Chu's unification of Lingzhou, so he thinks that the King of Chu will not do anything to them, resulting in the fact that the officials of the entire two governments are the same now, and they feel that they are backed by the Lieyan Sect and are arrogant, and the King of Chu will give a thin face. Throughout the rest of the prefectures and counties of Lingzhou, important officials were transferred out one by one, and their official positions and positions were disrupted, and they all fell under the control of the Chu Palace. The intention of the King of Chu to come to the two mansions was obvious to them, and they would not let it go easily. Lees' arrival was just a chance to show their attitude. If Li Si retreats this time, the officials of the Chu Wangfu will bow their heads when they go to other county towns in the future. If they win, the officials of all counties will unite and negotiate a compromise with the king of Chu, at least so that their official positions will not be easily transferred. ”

"Aren't we going to meddle?" Liu Yanxin asked with a frown. She could imagine that if the officials of the two provinces resisted the king of Chu, unless the king of Chu was ruthless and used coercive means, but then the two provinces would become a mess.

And the Lieyan Sect will also have a bad feeling towards the King of Chu. She is very aware of the strength of the Chu Wangfu, and working against the King of Chu is simply looking for death.

Especially with the character of the king of Chu, she was even more afraid that the king of Chu would compromise with these officials, because the king of Chu must have more terrible followers waiting for them.

Liu Chenfeng paused for a while, how to meddle, the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat, and the people below were also cold, the greater the power, the more complicated the people's hearts, and shook his head and said: "Don't worry, let's take a look at Li Si's means first, which is why the King of Chu asked us to follow Li Si, and Li Si asked us to cover up our identities, obviously believing in our own means." The mentioned Tae-kun finally enjoyed the gaze again.

Tai Kun raised his head high, revealing his rather greasy face, and said in a loud voice: "That's right, Commander Zhang's person, we in Linghai County all know that this inspector has made a mistake once, and there is no harm, he has already beaten a hundred boards in public, and he has to hang at the city gate for three days to show the public, is it too harsh, there is a saying that a soldier can be killed but not humiliated!" At this time, some family members in the crowd also spoke: "Yes, after beating a hundred boards, and hanging at the city gate to show the public, isn't it too unkind." ”

"It's more insulting than killing him."

"Could it be that this lord is insulting a commander like this for the sake of his arrival?"

"Well, that's a bit excessive."

"That's right, I saw that Commander Zhang was knocked unconscious, it's too miserable, and he has to be hanged." As some voices sounded, some people who didn't know the situation also nodded one after another, especially when they saw Zhang Shen's miserable appearance, their sympathy flooded for a while.

"Otherwise, forget it, it's already punished anyway, and you deserve it."

"Uh-huh, he should change it in the future."

"It's quite miserable to look at Commander Zhang now, and he has to be Yao people."

"No, what does Zhang Shen's dog look like, don't we know, now that Lord Li is doing justice, we don't support it, and when Lord Li leaves, do we have to go back to the past?" But there are also many people who can distinguish between right and wrong, but they are angry and say: "How many times have it been like this before, has Zhang Shen changed, if we support Lord Li, we will punish Zhang Shen fiercely and let other officials see!" ”

"Yes, what is Lord Li punishing Zhang Shen for today, isn't it just to make all the officials wake up, for the sake of us people in Linghai County, if we don't even dare to say this, who else will speak for us in the future!"

"Support the punishment of Zhang Shen!"

"Haven't you seen everything Lord Li did today, he is different from the previous patrol envoys, and supports Lord Li!"

"Do you have any sympathy, Commander Zhang is so miserable, you don't want to let go!"

"Who hasn't made a mistake yet, Commander Zhang has already been punished by Lord Li, what do you want? Say that Commander Zhang is cruel, are you worthy? You people who have no sympathy, you are even more cruel! ”

"Then again, there's nothing wrong with Master Li!"

"............" unconsciously divided into two factions! Many officials behind He Zhisheng lowered their heads, listened to the voices of the people arguing, and sneered.

Hehe, Inspector, now it's up to you to step down. As soon as you came to Linghai County, you wanted to give us a dismount, who do you think you are?

This is Lingyun Mansion, not Chu Wang's Mansion! Continue to hang Zhang Shen at the city gate, offend the entire Linghai Mansion, and the people's hearts may not be towards you!

Give up hanging Zhang Shen at the city gate, hehe, you will become a joke! Lian Chenghai saw that the voice of the city gate was getting noisier and louder, especially the smug expressions of some people, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and he shouted: "Quiet! "The sound waves reverberated through the city gates, deafening, overpowering all the noise around them.

Many officials covered their ears and looked at the cavalry general in front of them with wide eyes. Sonic roar! I saw that Lian Chenghai's posture was as tall as a pine, and under the sword eyebrows, a pair of eyes as bright as cold stars, and a horizontal sword immediately shocked everyone!

What a strong player! For the first time, Captain Liu faced this cavalry general, and as a general, he was all afraid.

He Zhisheng saw Lian Chenghai's sudden burst of momentum, and sighed in his heart, with deeper sorrow. I don't know if I'm right or wrong right now.

A commander of a few hundred cavalry alone has such courage, you can imagine how strong those brave and combative generals under the command of the Chu Wangfu are!

and the general Xu next to him who is even more burly and amazing than this commander. If he is not wrong, he should be Xu Chu, one of the three fierce generals under the command of King Chu?

This is a fierce general at the peak of the Heavenly Martial Realm!

"Good, good!" Xu Chu, who was about to roar, saw that Lian Chenghai was one step ahead of him, and patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction.

Because the Chu Wangfu has no support from any forces, it is easy to follow the rule that the capable go up and the mediocre go down.

As a result, a lot of talented people have come to the fore.

"It seems that there are many people who disagree with the punishment of this official." Li Si's unsteady voice clearly entered everyone's ears, attracting everyone's attention to him again.

The officials of Linghai County looked up one after another, wondering what Li Si would do next. The people also showed expectant eyes.

"Just now, Deacon Tai and Captain Liu both felt that the soldier could not be killed, and thought that the official was too much." Li Si's expression did not change, but looked at Zhang Shen, who was lying unconscious on the bench, and said slowly: "This official has thought about it again and again, thinking that what you said is also reasonable, and this official still doesn't know much about Commander Zhang. Hearing Li Si's words, many officials showed joy, this Li Si admitted defeat?

Liu Duwei's face also eased, and he looked at Li Si with a smile. As long as you are good at talking, we are naturally good at talking.

At the end of the day, hello, hello, everyone, isn't it better, you have to do this kind of thing. Li Si shifted his gaze to the people around him who were looking forward to it, and continued: "It's better to be like this, because of the official's mistake, I will give Commander Zhang two choices now." Many officials' eyes moved, and their joy deepened.

It's going to go down the stairs. These two options are nothing more than turning big things into small things and small things into small things. He Zhisheng looked at Li Si quietly with his eyes, and shook his head silently in his heart, not thinking that Li Si would admit defeat.

He didn't know Lis, and he hadn't heard of Lis. But he knows that the king of Chu, a closer look at the king of Chu from reaching the fiefdom to defeating the three major forces and forcing back the Chu Junyan sisters, will find that the king of Chu acted very cautiously, step by step, in this dangerous road, the Chu Wangfu has never suffered major losses, and the more the war becomes, the stronger it becomes!

The king of Chu dared to appoint him as the inspector of the two provinces, which shows that the king of Chu trusts Li Si very much, and Li Si is definitely not an ordinary person!

"Lord Li, please speak!" Liu Duwei clasped his hands into fists.

"Since all my colleagues think that this official should first understand what Commander Zhang has done, then this official will obey the name and give Commander Zhang two choices. The first is to continue to hang at the city gate to warn the people. "Hear Lees's first choice, on the bench

The "unconscious" Zhang Shen's ears couldn't help twitching, the amplitude was very small, everyone's eyes were on Li Si, and they didn't see Zhang Shen's movements.

Li Si Yuguang noticed the slight twitching of Zhang Shen's ears, and continued indifferently: "The second choice is that the official must listen to the will of the people, and the official will give the people of Linghai County three days and detain Zhang Commander for three days, and all the people can discuss this matter loudly during these three days, or report it anonymously. The official sent 500 cavalrymen in disguise into the crowd to receive anonymous letters of accusation from the people. If Commander Zhang really did his duty as the officials said, he would have been acquitted and apologized to Commander Zhang in public. ”

"Whew!" Hearing Li Si's words, everyone gasped and didn't dare to make any sound. All the officials looked at Li Si quietly, and He Zhisheng had an ominous premonition in his heart.

I saw that Li Si's expression still did not change, but there was a faint aura of solemnity in his tone: "However, if this official finds that Commander Zhang is inconsistent with what the officials said, and deceives this official, he will still behead Zhang Shen in this city gate three days later!" "Lie on the bench

The "unconscious" Zhang Shen's body trembled!
