Chapter 311: The City Gate Lookout, Turning Eyes Against Each Other

The red wall and green tiles, weeping willows surround the courtyard, and there is a small stream passing through the small wall of the courtyard on the side.

Delicate pavilions dot the estate, flanked by more than a dozen brightly coloured flowers.

A winding gravel path leads from the front yard to the depths of the backyard.

The door of the mansion was wide open, and Li Xuan stood at the gate, with Yu Ze and Wang Bo on his side, as well as a team of Qianniuwei,

On both sides of the courtyard gate, servants and maids dressed in various costumes stood respectfully.

"It's a nice environment." Li Xuan turned his head, looked at Chen Ming, the head catcher on the side, nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you Chen for leading the way."

"The prince is polite." Chen Ming beckoned to an old man in an ochre robe.

The old man with half-black and half-white hair immediately walked over, and Chen Ming introduced, "Back to the prince, this white old man is the housekeeper here, and the prince can directly order him if he has anything."

"Bai Lao." Li Xuan bowed slightly, which can be regarded as a greeting.

"I've seen the prince!" Bai Lao bowed deeply, and then said, "Back to the prince, there are now thirteen male servants and seven female servants in the mansion, this is the roster, please check it."

"Forget it, take this king to the backyard, you still need to settle down early tonight, and you have to investigate the case tomorrow!" Li Xuan waved his hand, then looked at Chen Ming, the head catcher, and said, "Chen Zhutou, it's hard work!"

"Don't dare, the next official will leave!" Chen Ming, the head catcher, immediately understood the subtext in Li Xuan's voice, and immediately surrendered his hand.

"Catch your head and walk slowly!" Li Xuan bowed his hand slightly to Chen Ming, and then watched Chen Ming leave.

Then he turned his head to look at Bai Lao and said, "Bai Lao, lead the way."

"Whoa!" Bai Lao bowed again, then turned around and walked towards the backyard with Li Xuan, Yu Ze Wang Bo, and a group of Qianniu Guards.

After passing through the main hall of the two courtyards, I finally came to the backyard.

Compared with the front yard, in the backyard, a blue lake with a large area appeared in front of Li Xuan.

The lake is covered with lotus flowers, surrounded by a verandah, and behind it are rows of houses.

"The Room of Zhilan." Li Xuan smiled, glanced at Bai Lao who was standing in the distance, looked sideways at Zhang Huan, and said, "Except for the few rooms in the middle left for this king, you take everyone to arrange to live first, and at the same time notify the kitchen to prepare food...... Be careful, don't let people mess with the food."

"Obey!" Zhang Huan immediately gave up his hand, and then smiled and led everyone to arrange a place to live.

Li Xuan turned to look at Yu Ze and Wang Bo: "Uncle Yu, Mr. Zi'an, please!"

Slightly out of the way, Li Xuan saw two Qianniu guards walking to the door of the backyard, isolating the inside and outside, Li Xuan nodded slightly.

Turning around, Li Xuan walked to the big house in the middle.

In the middle of the empty room is a pear wood couch covered with a short quilt and round cushions.

The middle hall at the rear hangs a calligraphy and painting imitating Yu Shinan.

On the low bench in the corner on both sides, a peony is inserted in a celadon vase on one side; On one side, a white porcelain vase is filled with various scrolls.

The atmosphere is very different from the northern style.

"What do the two gentlemen think about today's events, among the many officials and gentry in Wuzhou, who is the one who is connected with the Tianyin Sect?" Li Xuan's words directly tore apart the peace on today's surface.

Although Li Xuan was assassinated today, he attributed everything to the Tianyin Sect.

Under the city gate, Li Xuan did not have any unnecessary pursuit of the many officials in Wuzhou.

It seems that his attitude is good, but in fact, Li Xuan's suspicion of these people has never stopped for a moment.

These people, even if they are not Tianyin cultists, are behind everything, using all kinds of means to fuel the fire.

Yu Ze looked at Li Xuan with a serious face and said, "Returning to the prince, many officials in Wuzhou are basically deeply influenced by the history of Wang Thorn, and the prince must be able to see one or two today, so among the many officials in Wuzhou, I am afraid that there are not many people who really say that they have betrayed the imperial court, but they are ......."

"I'm afraid Brother Yu's judgment is a big mistake." Du Bixing's voice came from outside the door.

forthwith

, I saw him walk in from outside with a serious face, and then put a list in front of Li Xuan, and said with a pale face: "Lord Wang, take a look at this list first, the content in it will definitely make the Lord extremely shocked."

Li Xuan's face suddenly became serious, and he knew that there would definitely be some unexpected results.

Picking up the list, Li Xuan began to look at it carefully.

This is a special record, recording the name, age, place of origin, specialty, and whether the officers and soldiers of the Wuzhou City Gate Guards believe in the goddess of Tianyin......

"Thirty percent, the number of Tianyin Cultists among the city gate guards has reached thirty percent, is this too credible?" Li Xuan couldn't help but look at Du Bixing with some horror.

Du Bixing nodded very seriously and said, "Lord Wang, these Sancheng are still among the city gate guards, and they are not willing to give up the belief of the Tianyin Goddess and choose to leave the city gate guards; The others, only a few, did not hesitate to blaspheme the statue of the Heavenly Goddess, and more, after the Tianyin Sect made such a thing as assassinating the king and killing the driver, they were still a little hesitant, but in the end, they made the right choice, but these three percent ......

"These thirty percent are believers in the Loyal City." Li Xuan shook his head with emotion, and looked at the list in his hand with a solemn face: "No wonder, Wuzhou searched for Tianyin assassins several times, but in the end they still found nothing, take a tattered net to catch fish, it is strange that you can catch it."

"Thirty percent of the guards at the city gate are Tianyin cultists, so among all the conscripts, I'm afraid it is the same proportion, in addition to ordinary catchers, errand soldiers, bad people, lower-level officials in the state government, and countless ordinary people, Lord Wang, this number has gone to the sea." Du Bixing said, his face was already solemn.

When they were in Dongyang before, they had also encountered some Tianyin Sectists among the soldiers, but the number of them was not large.

But now, this amount, the proportion, is extremely appalling.

"Bing Cao joined the army Yan Tao, I really don't know what our soldier Cao joined the army for, his subordinates have been infiltrated like this, and he still looks unaware." Li Xuan slammed his fist on the table in front of him.

"Lord Wang, we must find a way, not only the city gate guards, the soldiers, but also the people of the entire state city, we must find a way to make them give up this distorted faith, otherwise even if we solve this crisis, it won't be long before a new crisis will come back, just like all that has happened." Wang Bo's face was full of worry.

"Two ways." Li Xuan looked at Yu Ze, Wang Bo and Du Bixing, and said softly: "First, Guan Zi said, Cangqiao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing, so the people place their trust in religion, it is nothing more than Cangqiao is not true, food and clothing are insufficient, as long as the people are rich, everything will naturally not be a problem."

Yu Ze, Wang Bo and Du Bixing nodded at the same time, and Yu Ze was the first to ask, "But how can we make the people of Wuzhou rich?"

"Making the people rich is nothing more than the Fa-rectification and the deviation of the door, and the three gentlemen should be clear." Li Xuan looked at Ze, Wang Bo and Du Bixing, shook his head slightly, and said, "If it is the former, it will take a long time, and it will take a long-term and stable environment to carry it out; As for the second method, the method of partial door, which is the most suitable method for the situation at hand." Z.br>

Fishing for the wrong door, let the people go to the wrong door, the government takes the people to go to the wrong door, this kind of thing is a little unbelievable to listeners.

But if you know Li Xuan, you will know what he is called a deviation from the door.

After a slight pause, Li Xuan continued: "The second is to destroy the faith, arrest all the Tianyin Sect disciples in the vicinity of the entire state city, and behead them to make an example, but it's a pity, in this way, the movement will be big."

"The prince should pay attention, there are some things that can be done in Dongyang, but not in Wuzhou, I hope the prince will be cautious." Yu Ze couldn't help but stand up.

"Don't worry, this king won't mess around easily, the matter of the city gate guards has already reminded this king, the infiltration of the Tianyin Sect in key positions is even more serious than we initially expected." Li Xuan shook his head worriedly, and said, "Today, with the assassination of this king, I can still move a little, and at other times, such a reckless move may immediately cause a mutiny."

"That's true." I

Ze, Wang Bo and Du Bixing agreed again, and Yu Ze took the lead in saying: "But if you don't do anything, you can't do it if you have a chance, otherwise once the other party starts to make trouble, we will definitely fall into a state of no return."

"Don't worry, this king knows it." Li Xuan touched his chin slightly, and then said, "The city gate guards have solved it, then the next thing is the watchtower."

Watchtower.

Yu Ze and Du Bixing glanced at each other, and arched their hands with solemn faces: "Obey the orders of the prince!"

"Now it sees, what can Qiu Erlang find out?" Li Xuan's eyes looked out the window, his face solemn.

Today, I finally caught a little clue of the Tianyin Sect, but I can't just let it go, but I don't know where Qiu Zhenmu is chasing now.

There was a thud, and a crutch slammed to the ground.

The white-haired Shen Tuo sat in the center of the hall and scolded with a grim face: "Yin thieves are becoming more and more rampant these days."

The black middle-aged man standing on the side said with an embarrassed face, "What my father said is very true, the people of the Tianyin Sect really dared to ambush the king of Nanchang at the city gate, they are really going crazy."

"Now that it is no more than half a month before their last uprising, it is natural to eliminate all those who will hinder their success, including the king of Nanchang." Shen Tuo shook his head and said, "King Nanchang can't have an accident, at least not in Wuzhou, let alone in front of me and other Wuzhou families, otherwise, Your Majesty will have a reason to do something to us."

"Father, my son knows that Your Majesty values the King of Nanchang, but if Your Majesty really values the King of Nanchang, how can you let him come to Wuzhou?" Shen Shilang's question was very delicate, and ordinary people probably couldn't even understand the meaning of his words.

"You have to understand, Your Majesty's weight is one thing, your own performance is another, today when you see the King of Nanchang wearing a royal uniform at the gate of the city, you Aye and I already know what Your Majesty means, and the King of Nanchang clearly expressed this meaning, he is a smart person, and he fully understands the meaning of His Majesty to spread it, but at this time, the people of the Tianyin Sect moved." Shen Tuo's teeth itched with hatred for a while.

The emperor asked Li Xuan, the king of the current dynasty, to serve as the king of this Wuzhou to warn them about the meaning of these people, and in the matter of Wang Fanglan, they did a little too much.

Don't think that there are some things they do that others can't see.

When the emperor is willing to reason with him, you have to reason with the emperor well.

If you don't reason well with the Emperor, then the Emperor will immediately make you understand how sharp his blade really is.

Li Xuan had already clearly conveyed the emperor's meaning, but the group of fools of the Tianyin Sect made a move against the king of Nanchang at this time.

Do they think that they died fast enough, or that he Shen Tuo died not fast enough.

"From today on, the children of the family are not allowed to go out, and once they go out, they must be doubled by guards." Shen Tuo looked at his son on the side and said in a cold voice, "Shiro, from today onwards, the number of guards patrolling at home will be doubled."

"I understand." Shen Shilang arched his hand, his face solemn.

"Also, all your collusion with the Tianyin Sect in the dark has been cut off for me, and this group of people is now crazy!"
