Chapter 73: Ten Officials and Nine Evils
When the two guards saw the young man coming, the arrogance on their faces instantly turned into flattery.
"Steward Li, what kind of wind brought you here? If you want to summon someone in, you send someone to give an order, and we will bring it in, how can we trouble you to come out in person? ”
In the face of the flattery of the two, the young man didn't see it, and walked straight to Xiao Feng's side.
"Lord Xiao, please!"
Xiao Feng didn't know the young man, but from the performance of the two guards, he could more or less detect that this guy was Li Shan's subordinate. Thinking that after all, he was asking for help, so he got off the horse without saying a word.
"Please!"
"There is labor."
Following the young man, Xiao Feng walked into the county government compound.
After walking for less than ten minutes, the young man's footsteps stopped in front of an inconspicuous room.
"Master Li is in the house, please forgive me for not being able to go in with my lord."
The two saluted each other, and the young man turned to leave.
Pushing the door and walking in, Xiao Feng found that Li Shan was looking at the map of Da Zhou with his back to him at this time.
"I've seen Lord Li, Xiao Feng, a grass citizen, came this time because he had a letter from Lord Chu to give to his lord."
The corners of Li Shan's mouth rose slightly.
"Oh? Chu Tianbi, this guy is also willing to write a letter! ”
Xiao Feng stepped forward respectfully and carefully placed the letter on the table.
Li Shan opened the letter and looked at it, and while reading it, he nodded at the same time.
"Xiao Feng...... If I'm not mistaken, you're the organizer of the Armory, right? ”
Xiao Feng saluted: "It's exactly below." ”
Li Shan looked at the letter, and then at Xiao Feng, with a strange look in his eyes.
"I remember you, let's say, what's the matter with coming to me this time?"
Xiao Feng clenched his fists again: "Lord Li, I don't know if you have heard that someone in Yanyang County recently wanted to put dozens of people up and down my Lin family to death?" ”
Li Shan shook his head playfully: "I haven't heard of it, but it's normal to have three or five enemies in the world, but I don't know if Xiao Feng is planning to accept your fate, or do you want me to help you get some money and hide in the deep mountains and old forests?" ”
Xiao Feng understood what Li Shan meant, and immediately made a big salute.
"Back to my lord, I'm going to strike first!"
Li Shan's face did not change, obviously he was not surprised by Xiao Feng's answer.
"Xiao Feng, you know my Great Zhou law, killing people is to lose your head, not to mention that you want to kill an official! So I advise you that it's better to give up this plan. ”
Xiao Feng clenched his teeth.
"My lord, Liu Cheng is in Yanyang County's Yurou Township, killing people and setting fires, doing all kinds of evil, what reason does the court have for this kind of person to keep him?"
"Then, what reason does the court have to kill him?"
Li Shan used a bamboo pole to point the location of the capital on the map, and then drew to the location of Yanyang County.
"Since ancient times, there have been ten officials and nine evils. In some places far away from Emperor Shangao, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is ten officials and ten evils, but have you ever thought about why there is never an imperial history that patrols back and forth every day and beheads them in the streets and alleys? ”
Xiao Feng's eyes rolled: "My lord, dozens of members of my Lin family have seen their neighbor Niu's family being arrested and put in prison by them for no reason." And Liu Cheng has ...... many times"
Li Shan made a stop gesture.
"Xiao Feng, I said it, Da Zhou has the laws of Da Zhou. Don't say it's me, even if His Majesty the Emperor is here in person, he can't just pull Liu Cheng out and behead him. If the world does not require evidence for everything, is it not to be disrupted? ”
Li Shan poured a cup of tea, placed it across the table, and beckoned Xiao Feng to come and sit down.
"I know Chu Tianbi must have sent you a lot of manpower, but do you know how much trouble he has caused to himself by doing this?"
Xiao Feng took the tea and took a sip.
"Lord Li, don't worry, you still have a good idea of how these people should be used, and you will definitely not let General Chu be dragged down."
It was already very hard for the Tianmen Guan Army to follow him all the way back to Yanyang County, how could Xiao Feng bear to let them go back and be punished? So when he first came back, he planned to have everyone pretend to be the thugs he hired on the road, but the matter was urgent, and he didn't have time to explain it to everyone.
Unexpectedly, Li Shan seemed to have anticipated his every move.
"Xiao Feng, even if you have Chu Tianbi's permission, but taking them to Yanyang County is still considered to be an unauthorized departure, even if he helps you find a reason to stabilize the army's heart, Chu Tianbi will one day be punished for today's incident."
"If I say they're hired thugs......"
"That's even more inappropriate. Just imagine, everyone in the whole county knows that you went to Tianmen Pass before, in this case. How can you quickly gather a group of people to solve the Lin family's urgent needs, and these people are all good players who can fight one against three? ”
Xiao Feng's cold sweat flowed down in an instant.
He did a lot of calculations, but he only missed this point!
Li Shan is right, the combat power of Liu Cheng's private soldiers is known to everyone in the whole county, and ordinary people are definitely not their opponents, let alone one against three.
Therefore, in the eyes of those villagers, his return this time represents not only the Lin family, but also the Tianmen Pass Army behind him Xiao Feng!
"As for your true purpose, forcibly breaking into the Liu family or something is even more incompetent, which will not only make your Lin family all over the house, but also affect Chu Tianbi and lose his head together. Is this the tacit understanding between you? ”
Xiao Feng subconsciously clenched the armrest of the chair, and the deformed Nanmu kept squeaking in pain.
Although there was a lot of anger in his heart, Li Shan's words really made him deafening.
"My lord, you are now sitting in the county government, and they still don't know how to restrain themselves. If you leave, won't the people of the Lin family still be more than lucky? ”
A relieved smile finally appeared on Li Shan's face.
He knocked on the table, and the young man who was guarding the door immediately walked in.
"My lord, what do you command?"
Li Shan took out the token and handed it to him: "Go to the prison and release the people who were mistakenly arrested because of Xiao Feng, and then find a car and send them back to the Lin Mansion." ”
"Yes!"
The young man saluted, took the token and hurried away.
Xiao Feng wanted to follow the young man over to have a look, but he didn't expect that as soon as the young man left, Li Shan stood in front of the gate.
"Xiao Feng, you remember, he Liu Cheng doesn't have a death-free gold medal in his hand. As long as you can find any evidence that can prove that Liu has become a party to the disaster, I will not let you worry about how to bring down this troubled old official. ”
Li Shan opened the door and stroked his beard.
"You, do you understand?"
