Pretending to be a messenger and falsely preaching the holy decree are all great sins of losing their heads. Generally speaking, no one would dare to do such a thing.

Even if there was a one-in-10,000 possibility, the three people in front of him were pretending to be Qincha and pretending to pass on the holy decree, Fang Qian didn't dare to bet. After all, if the bet is wrong, it is the crime of not respecting the holy decree to deceive the king, and according to Wu Zetian's character, he will be directly beheaded.

He stood up like an electric shock, walked up to Hu Jinghui, and knelt down on his knees to receive the order.

Hu Jinghui unfolded the decree and read: "The edict said: Since the rule of the three emperors, the five emperors have divided the world...... Therefore, with the Fengge Luantai Ping Zhang, the deposed envoy, and the governor of Youzhou, Di Renjie, patrolled the hunting on behalf of the sky, inspected the officials, acted cheaply, and went everywhere like I bowed to my relatives. Admire this."

The phrase "act cheaply" means that Di Renjie can do anything, and it can almost be said that he has been appointed as the executive vice emperor.

Fang Qian trembled and received the order, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and apologized repeatedly, saying that he was blind and made wild words, hoping that Di Renjie would forgive his sins.

"Standing in front and then respecting, thinking about it makes people laugh."

Di Renjie didn't bother to care about this guy who was condescending and respectful, and introduced Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang again.

The officer who had slapped Hu Jinghui was shaking at this time, and when he saw Hu Jinghui walking towards him, he only knew how to repeat the words "the general spares his life".

"Fang stabbed Shi, beating Qin Cha, what should be the crime?"

Hu Jinghui asked with some yin and yang weirdness.

"This ...... This...... The sin deserves to be put to death, and all three tribes should be destroyed."

Hu Jinghui sneered and said, "If it weren't for Yuan Fang's mercy today and saved you, you would have to die today!"

The officer heard that Hu Jinghui meant that he didn't want to kill him, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed like pounding garlic, who knew that Hu Jinghui still had the second half of the sentence.

"It's just that this capital crime can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, so you can leave this beating hand!"

After that, the officer let out a howl like killing a pig with only two clicks, and when he looked again, his arms hung down like noodles, and he could not move.

Hu Jinghui was so heavy, just two strokes, he crushed the officer's two arms, even if a famous doctor picked it up later, he couldn't use it, and he could only shake the two arms for the rest of his life.

The public in the Yamen of Youzhou couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when they saw the officer rolling on the ground like a pig.

"Leave him alone!"

Hu Jinghui clapped his hands and didn't look at the man.

Di Renjie said: "From today on, all officials who dare to bully others, run rampant in the township, and oppress the people will be guilty of the same thief!"

All the officials knelt down and said, "Obey the order!"

……………………

At night, in the Governor's Mansion, Di Renjie had already brought the patient—who learned from Fang Qian's mouth that this person's name was Li Er—into the Governor's Mansion and treated it personally. And Lu Dayou and Lu Xiaofeng, villagers of Xiaolianzi Village, were also picked up by him and took care of him.

"General Tiger, today's court is really majestic." Li Yuanfang walked in, and when he saw Hu Jinghui sitting in the room, he joked.

"Alas, Yuan Fang laughed, this is all by the emperor's prestige."

Hu Jinghui shook his head and looked at Li Er on the bed, his face was still dark, but his seven orifices were no longer bleeding, and his breathing seemed to be much smoother.

"My lord, what are we going to do next?"

Di Renjie said: "The top priority is to thoroughly investigate the rebellion of the villagers of Daliushu Village and the closure of Xiaolianzi Village for no reason, catch the corrupt officials, and eliminate the harm for the people of Youzhou."

Hu Jinghui said, "But my lord, we are here to investigate the murder of the mission, right? Isn't that a bit of putting the cart before the horse?"

Di Renjie glanced at him and said, "Since ancient times, sages have ruled the world with the people first. Deciding civil cases first is the foundation of being an official."

Hu Jinghui said: "Although the words are good, we only have three months, and this mission was killed......

Di Renjie said: "Don't worry, when we sort out the mess in Youzhou, the truth will naturally surface."

……………………

However, a strange thing happened during the night

, the north gate of Youzhou City was suddenly "attacked", Fang Qian said that the villagers of Daliushu Village rescued those who were hanged, but the scene and testimony were full of flaws, and at a glance Di Gong saw through that it was the soldiers of Youzhou City who did it themselves, in order to kill people and kill the villagers of Daliushu Village who were caught.

"I didn't expect this group of people to be so vicious......

Di Renjie said in a deep voice, Li Yuanfang seemed to want to say something, but Di Gong waved his hand and signaled him not to speak for the time being.

The next day, Di Renjie sent Li Yuanfang to bring the villagers of Daliushu Village, and accused Fang Qian of embezzlement of consolation money on the spot in the public court, and did not issue a penny. Fang Qian denied it in every possible way, only saying that there was no physical evidence. No matter what he said, he was also a feudal official, although Di Renjie had the right to act cheaply, he couldn't convict Fang Qian with the words of a few peasants.

However, Di Renjie had another clue, that is, there was a strange shortage of food in Youzhou City, and even the food in the Governor's Mansion and the Assassin's Mansion was a little insufficient, and he suspected that this was also related to Fang Qian. Although Fang Qian also flatly denied it, as a governor, he couldn't get the details of the grain in the state, which was also a crime of dereliction of duty.

As a result, Fang Qian was temporarily placed under house arrest by Di Renjie and was not allowed to leave without permission. He also asked Hu Jinghui and Li Yuanfang to act separately and go to Xiaolianzi Mountain to find clues to the closure of the mountain.

……………………

The pit viper walked through the passage dug out of the mountain's belly, looking at the people who walked past him.

The man was about twenty years old, thin as a handful of firewood, with a sallow face and a rickety walk. He dragged a few sacks on the ground with great difficulty, and judging by the appearance of the sacks, they should have contained wheat.

The pit viper stopped and looked at the man more. But the man seemed to be blind and deaf, but he lowered his head and pulled the sack forward, and when he didn't look closely, he looked like a moving skeleton.

"You won't give them food?"

The pit viper asked Jin Mulan through the curtain.

"The Holy Serpent's food is so huge that it is not enough to feed it. There is only so much food in Youzhou City, except for the military rations, which cannot be moved, can only be reduced by those people." Jin Mulan said it as it should be.

「…… If they starve to death, they will have less labor."

"If you're dead, you'll catch it again, and you can always do it for four or five days." Jin Mulan said coldly.

The pit viper shook his head: "Di Renjie is now going to take over Youzhou, and it is not so easy for us to arrest people again."

Jin Mulan said, "Then kill him!"

The pit viper was stunned, not knowing what to say, sighed, and turned to leave.

"You're just leaving? Don't you want to say anything more to me?"

「…… Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang are both very dangerous characters. I can't leave too many flaws." Hu Jinghui put the purple-black sword in his hand into the black robe and walked out along the secret passage.
