The subordinate guards who received the order immediately stepped forward and took down Wu Yong and other officials without saying a word.

Li Kang's sudden order to do it was something Wu Yong didn't expect, his performance just now definitely didn't mean to collide, at least his performance was decent.

But as soon as Li Kang came up, Wu Yong immediately thought of something, ostensibly to take them, but in fact, he wanted to give Su Qi'an behind him a dismount.

At this time, a deep voice suddenly sounded, "Stop for Ben Hou!"

Behind Wu Yong, a group of Dongshan troops came with heavy steps.

The soldiers immediately dispersed, stood in front of Wu Yong and the others, and formed a confrontation with Li Kang's guards.

Immediately afterwards, Su Qi'an walked from among the soldiers, raised his head and looked at the carriage in front of him with a calm face.

He didn't salute, but just arched his hand and said, "Lord Zhou Mu suddenly came to visit, which surprised Ben Hou, but Wu didn't seem to have done anything wrong, Lord Zhou Mu said that if you take people, you will take people, it's a bit excessive, I want to hear an explanation from Lord Zhou Mu."

If it were someone else, he would never dare to talk to Li Kang like this, but Su Qi'an had this qualification.

He has a reputation for his merits, he has the title of marquis, and the Marquis of Daliang, in addition to His Majesty and the children of the royal family, he must bow down,

Others, whether they are powerful or noble, or local governors, bow the most.

The reason why Su Qi'an did not salute was that Li Kang knew better than anyone that in addition to Su Qi'an's meritorious fame and title, he also had a third identity, the identity of the royal family.

This is approved by His Majesty, although Su Qi'an came to a remote place in Jiaozhou, the so-called life and death royal family will not interfere, but the royal identity is there.

Usually polite, Su Qi'an may pretend to be polite, but once he is displeased, it is not so simple.

Su Qi'an's questioning, Li Kang was not flustered, he was silent for a while, and said coldly.

"Su Hou wants to know the reason, and Benzhou will naturally inform him that Wu Yong, as the acting county guard of a county, is not strict with the people under him, and he does not kneel in Benzhou, according to the law of Da Liang, civilians must bow down when they meet officials."

"But what did Wu do with him? Look at these civilians, who despise Ben Shu so much, Ben Zhou took him down, treated him as a disrespectful official, and charged him with lax discipline to his subordinates, this is right, this is the explanation that Ben Shu gave to Su Hou."

Li Kang was very indifferent, obviously he came prepared, Su Qi'an nodded and said, "What the Governor said makes sense, according to the law, civilians must bow down to officials, but in the land of the county town, this marquis also has jurisdiction."

"In the final analysis, this matter is the negligence of Ben Hou's management, and here Ben Hou apologizes to the state pastor for Wu Yong and others."

Li Kang's eyes flashed, and he just wanted to nod and continue to say something, but was interrupted by Su Qi'an.

"This matter is recommended to report to His Royal Highness the Nine, after all, the official is not allowed to bow down, His Royal Highness the Nine agrees, and His Royal Highness the Nine has promised the people of the county that in the future, except for His Majesty and the children of the royal family, the rest of the officials, no matter how big or small, only need to bow and do not need to kneel."

"Since Lord Governor thinks this matter is a very serious matter, I also ask Lord Governor to tell His Highness Nine, after all, only Lord Governor has an objection to this matter, and wants to enjoy the same treatment as the children of the royal family, on an equal footing, if His Highness Ninth is to blame, I think Lord Governor will be able to solve it properly."

"Master Su, you are unbelievable, when did Benzhou say that you want to be on an equal footing with the children of the royal family, and you don't spew blood here."

Li Kang said almost without thinking about it, Su Qi'an charged him with a bigger crime than he gave to Wu, so he almost didn't explain the rebellion.

If he doesn't defend himself, who knows if Su Qi'an will continue to talk nonsense here.

"Oh, Ben Hou's bloody mouth? Just now, it was obviously the state pastor who said that he would follow the law of Da Liang, so everything should be done according to the law, even if the golden mouth opened by His Royal Highness the Ninth Highness is not as big as the law, right?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, the state pastor insists on us to bow down, then we will fulfill the wish of the state pastor, everything will be in accordance with the law, even if the children of the royal family, even His Majesty come, they must act according to the law."

"Anyway, there is the state pastor behind the back, after all, who doesn't know, Jiaozhou boundary, the state pastor is the largest, everyone, kneel and bow."

Su Qi'an's this

The rhetoric was obviously to make things bigger and bigger, and directly made Li Kang, who was sitting in the car, rush out.

Looking at the people who were following Su Qi'an around and about to kneel and bow to him, he hurriedly shouted.

"Wait! Stop in this state, and don't kneel."

Su Qi'an's body froze, he looked at Li Kang with a puzzled look on his face, and asked, "Why do you want to play new tricks?"

"That's enough, Su Hou's matter is wrong in Benzhou, this matter is over like this, let these people disperse, Benzhou came today, not to punish crimes, but to negotiate important matters."

At this time, Li Kang's face was angry and white, and he was blue.

It's not that he didn't think that Su Qi'an would set him up, but this time he really didn't give him, and he was scared to death.

He dared to say anything, a small kneeling salute almost made him say that he was going to rebel, to be the overlord of Jiaozhou, to divide one side, and to roast him on the fire.

Although the truth is that this matter is very different, the nature of acquiescence in private is completely different from that of putting it on the table.

It's not that Li Kang's ambition is not big enough, but that his strength is not enough to support the fact that he will acquiesce and say it on the table.

Not to mention him, some ambitious state pastors in other states are not the same, and some things have to obey the orders of the Daliang royal family.

I really didn't dare to rebel directly on the table, Su Liang's royal family declined, but it ruled for three hundred years.

At this time, even if there is ambition, no one dares to take the lead, and the time is not yet ripe.

Everything has to be done in private, but this Su Qi'an is good, and he is not afraid of making a big deal at all.

The county is under his control, and these untouchables are not allowed to do what he commands.

If he hadn't stopped it in time, he would have really allowed Su Qi'an to continue to slander him and do things well.

Believe it or not, within a few days, the excerpts about his impeachment will definitely be like snowflakes, full of Su Xuanyong's dragon case.

This Su Qi'an is a big pit, and if one is not good, it will fall into the pit he has set up.

"Oh, it turns out that Lord Governor is here this time, there is something wrong, come on, come here, please."

Su Qi'an waved his hand, signaling the people around him to disperse, and one person led the way in front.

Li Kang's face turned pale, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he scolded Su Qi'an 10,000 times in his heart, it was a pity that Su Qi'an's acting skills were not used as a play.

He didn't believe that Su Qi'an didn't know the purpose of his visit to the county town, and he wanted to give the other party a dismount, but who knew that he fell into Su Qi'an's pit solidly.

Under the leadership of Su Qi'an, Li Kang came to the county mansion and pushed open the door of the mansion, except for Li Kang, the guards behind him were all outside.

Li Kang didn't say much about the rules, and followed Su Qi'an into the county mansion very calmly.

He didn't worry about what Su Qi'an would do to him in the mansion, he was a state pastor anyway, and he came to visit openly, at this time, if Su Qi'an dared to do something unfavorable to him, it was undoubtedly the stupidest strategy.

followed Su Qi'an all the way into the mansion, such a county mansion was less than one-fifth of the previous one, and even the most magnificent atrium hall was demolished cleanly.

Passing through the middle of the palace, there are some wings for the reception of guests.

Li Kang followed Su Qi'an into the room, and as soon as the two sat down, they didn't even finish the tea, Su Qi'an said directly.

"The governor is not here in person, and he is visiting the county at this time, so there is no need to go around in circles, what the governor wants to say, please say clearly."

Su Qi'an's rapidly transforming personality really makes Li Kang unpredictable.

Since Su Qi'an is so straightforward, Li Kang doesn't plan to hide it, he plans to tell the truth.

"Su Hou is so quick to talk, Ben Zhou likes it, this time Ben Zhou came for only one purpose, which is to let Su Hou return to Ben State."

Li Kang's words made Su Qi'an stunned, he looked up at Li Kang, and suddenly said with a smile.

"The heart of the state pastor is really big, as soon as he opens his mouth, he wants Ben Hou to submit to you? Doesn't the governor know that Benhou is a child of the royal family, so let the children of the royal family be obedient, and I don't know that the adults have this ability?"

"Honshu if

If you have the ability to make the royal family submit, I am afraid that it will not be limited to Jiaozhou, although Su Hou is a child of the royal family, but according to Benzhou's understanding, Su Hou's royal status also acts as a façade, compared with the children of the royal family, there is no comparison, among the members of the royal family, Su Hou is mostly just a marginal figure."

"The royal family's disdain for Su Hou is a loss to the royal family, and in the eyes of Honshu, Su Hou is a rare talent."

"Su Hou has been in Jiaozhou for about a year, whether it is a large or small priest, a Qingcheng county guard, or a second elder, Su Hou is very skilled, such a talent, Benzhou is quite appreciated."

"I think Su Hou's mind should be far more than the small Qingcheng County, as long as Su Hou can be submitted, this state can first guarantee that Su Hou will be promoted from a third-class marquis to a second-class marquis."

"You can even divide the five counties into one county and give it to Su Hou to govern."

"Ascend to the title first, and in giving land, Lord Governor is really generous."

"But I want to get this, Ben Hou should also pay something, there is no free lunch in this world."

"Hehe, Benzhou likes to talk to smart people, rest assured, Suhou doesn't need to pay too much price, just need to transfer Suhou's Dongshan Army to the six counties of Jiaozhou, as for Suhou's troops, Benzhou will re-transfer 20,000 state soldiers and put them under the jurisdiction of Suhou."

After speaking, Li Kang was not in a hurry to reply to Su Qi'an, drank tea, and waited patiently.

Li Kang's conditions are already very generous, and the promotion of the knighthood is secondary, mainly because of the expansion of the territory, directly sitting on the two counties, accounting for one-third of the six counties in Jiaozhou.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the strength is second only to Li Kang, and as for the so-called vast territory of the Priest Alliance, it is not comparable to the six counties of Jiaozhou.

The territory of the six counties of Jiaozhou is small, but it is indeed the most prosperous, the most populous and the best urban development in Jiaozhou.

Think about Li Kang, just by occupying the six counties of Jiaozhou, he can control the entire Jiaozhou and influence the priest alliance.

This is assigned to the two counties of Su Qi'an, which is a great thing that no number of people can ask for.

For others, it is pie in the sky, but for Su Qi'an, not to mention the two counties, even if it is the entire six counties, Su Qi'an is not rare.

If you want to blame it, blame Li Kang for the idea and hit the Dongshan army.

The Dongshan Army is not only the guarantee of Su Qi'an's development, but also his lifeline, let alone Li Kang, even the royal family does not want to snatch the Dongshan Army from him.
