Chapter 48: Meeting the State Lord (Part II)

The state lord is high and powerful, and he has long been basically immune to all kinds of compliments. But it also depends on whose mouth this compliment comes from, the respect of an eleven-year-old boy is worth more than the flattery of the old oilmen in the officialdom and shopping malls. Therefore, Liu Liang is still very happy.

"Haha, don't worry, I know that you have a deep blood feud and have contributed to the court, and this official will definitely make decisions for you. The Tinghe Gang has been powerful and blessed in Yunzhou for many years, and what they have done is extremely evil. The official came to Yunzhou to eradicate this cancer, and the official had already collected a lot of evidence of their crimes before. Please mourn the tragedy that happened in your family, but this incident is a good time to start. Although it is very sad, I still hope that you can recall the events at that time carefully, so that the official can understand it in detail. Liu Liang said.

Zhang Qing looked at the state lord sitting at the top, Liu Liang had a righteous face, a majestic expression, and bright eyes, which was indeed very in line with the image of an upright official who fights crime and makes decisions for the people. But I don't know why, in a trance, Zhang Qing felt that the person sitting on it was like the director he had in the hospital before.

When Zhang Qing first entered the hospital, he participated in the first general meeting of the hospital, and the dean sat on the high rostrum, making a report on protecting the interests of medical staff and reducing the burden on employees, and at the same time publicizing the anti-corruption document prohibiting receiving red envelopes and kickbacks. Zhang Qing, who had just joined the company, was enthusiastic when he heard it, thinking that he had met a good leader.

As a result, in the months following the meeting, both medical troubles were resolved by the dean by punishing the doctors and muddy. Some time before he was tired, there was news that the president embezzled hospital funds and accepted huge bribes from medical representatives and was investigated by the above.

Although Liu Liang and the dean looked completely different, their expressions were so similar that Zhang Qing was a little uncomfortable in an instant. But this is a matter of no score after all, and now it is the first time he has seen Liu Liang. In Bai Kaguya's description, the governor is fair and honest, and his duties are dedicated, and their goals are indeed the same as their own.

Therefore, Zhang Qing hurriedly threw his complicated thoughts to the back of his mind, and replied with a fist: "The kid understands, please ask the adults to ask, I will definitely have nothing to hide." ”

Liu Liang smiled with satisfaction and began to ask. In fact, there is no new information, Bai Huiye is a very careful person, everything he knows has already been told to Liu Liang, and what Zhang Qing said now is basically with Bai Huiye, so Liu Liang just completed some details.

After ending the inquiry, Zhang Qing looked at Liu Liang pondering, and couldn't help asking: "My lord, the most critical account book has been destroyed, and we have no direct evidence to point out against the Tinghe Gang, will this have an impact on future actions?"

Liu Liang raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Zhang Qing to take the initiative to ask questions, so he replied: "You're right, if we have the account books now, I can even go directly to seal the rudder of the Tinghe Gang in various places." But now the opportunity is still in our hands, and the Tinghe Gang doesn't know that the account books have been destroyed, so the official is going to do some actions to force them to make mistakes. ”

This is similar to what Zhang Qing thought, so he praised it: "The adult is in his chest, but the kid is too worried." ”

"Hehe, Zhang Qing, although we have only met once, the official has to say, you are good anywhere, but you are too young and old. Young people, you should be lively. Liu Liang said with a smile, "It's not early, you first rest in the mansion for two days, and in these two days, you should need to meet a few adults and explain your family's affairs to them, you have to be prepared." Kaguya still has to deal with some things, and you can always go to Steward Wang if you have anything. ”

Zhang Qing saw that the state lord had the intention of sending off guests, so he hurriedly gave up his hand and retreated, and went to the backyard to rest with the housekeeper Wang who was waiting outside the door.

In the study, Liu Liang stood up and came to Bai Huiye's side, and said with a smile: "What you said is really good, you are really a sensible young man, he is unhurried in his speech and demeanor, and he is a good seedling." What, do you want to be recommended to the Bai family?"

"The adults laughed, how can I be qualified to be recommended by a side lineage. Bai Huiye laughed at himself, "Zhang Qing is too young after all, and my identity is not enough." What's more, the exercises he cultivates are not inferior to mine, and he has his own mentor backer, so he will not easily fall to the family. I'm just making a good relationship for the future. ”

"Well, that's right, I didn't expect that there would be a great person in this remote place, so it's better to make friends while he's still young. Liu Liang stroked his beard and said.

"My lord, what do you think we should do now?" Bai Huiye turned the conversation back to business.

Liu Liang pondered for a while and said, "In this way, you will go to visit Qian Yi, Wu Ding, and Sun Lixing with Leng Yuhe tomorrow, tell them about your siege by the elders of the Tinghe Gang and the attack on Yuhu Village, and invite them to come to the mansion for a banquet in the evening three days later, understand?"

Bai Huiye's eyes lit up, Leng Yuhe was Liu Liang's master, although he had no grade, he was the personal person of the state lord, and he could fully represent Liu Liang on some informal occasions, and the state officials also attached great importance to him.

Among the three people who want to visit, Qian Yi is the Yunzhou Supervision Envoy, although he is only one word different from the Inspector Envoy, his status is not the same. The Inspector is directly responsible to the Imperial Court and the Political Affairs Hall, and is mainly responsible for supervising the behavior of the state lord and preventing the state lord from being corrupt and bending the law and governing indiscriminately. Although there is no specific power, at a critical moment, it can even directly contact the central government and remove the state lord from his position, which can be regarded as a means for the imperial court to check and balance the state lords.

Wu Ding was the governor of Yunzhou, in charge of the whole state army, and the 30,000 infantry army and 10,000 water troops in the entire Yunzhou were nominally under his command. Of course, the governor only has the right to send troops, not the right to send troops, and the highest military governor in the whole state is still the governor of the state. But with such a layer, it also makes it impossible for the state lord to do whatever he wants.

As for Sun Lixing, he is the total number of thousands of households in Yunzhou, and he does not participate in local government affairs and military affairs, but once he is involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, he cannot be bypassed.

The three of them are the second, third, and fourth people in Cloud City, and if Leng Bai and the two go to visit them, they will definitely be known by others. At the same time, inviting them to the banquet of the lord of the mansion tomorrow reflects a posture that Liu Liang has mastered the key evidence and wants to unite all forces to exterminate the Tinghe Gang with the power of thunder. This is to force the Tinghe Gang to make a move in these three days, otherwise once the results are discussed by several giants, they will not be able to resist at all.

Thinking of this, Bai Huiye frowned again: "But my lord, except for me and Zhang Qing, we don't have any physical evidence." Although many water bandits in Yuhu Village were caught, their three masters were all killed by the Bodhisattva of Love, and there was no way to prove that the Tinghe Gang colluded with them. Those three have intertwined forces in Yunzhou, and they must all have deep or shallow connections with the Tinghe Gang. If the Tinghe Gang didn't do anything to these three people, we don't have any evidence in our hands that we could nail the Tinghe Gang at once, and our subordinates don't think they will support the adults. ”

"You're right, but this official is not the only one!Why do you think I sent Xie Wuyan to pick you up with you but only brought five ships?" Liu Liang looked at Bai Huiye's eyes with deep meaning.

Bai Huiye suddenly realized that the first battalion of the navy had twenty large warships, but the commander Xie Wuyan only brought five to meet the patrol team. If the remaining fifteen are not in the camp, where will they go?

Zhang Qing followed Steward Wang and walked to the back, while listening to Steward Wang tell him about the rules of the house. Actually, there is nothing. Liu Liang came alone, not with his main wife, but with a lady to take care of his daily life. Therefore, there are not too many rules in the backyard, Zhang Qing only needs to be careful not to enter the private courtyard of the state lord, and there are no other requirements, whether it is to enjoy or visit the garden.

Steward Wang took him to a guest room, arranged for a servant to be at his disposal at any time, and then took his leave. Although Zhang Qing said that he took care of himself quite cleanly, it was not good to take a bath on the ship after all. At this time, when he had the conditions, he quickly asked the little guy to fetch him a bucket of hot water and soaked it comfortably. The moment I immersed my whole body in the hot water, I breathed a sigh of relief.

This is the best bath after crossing over, before it was either a well shower in a stream, and only a hair and face could be washed on the river, and this was the first time to soak in hot water. With the warmth of his body, Zhang Qing's whole body couldn't help but relax, this was the first time since the crossing, and he no longer tightened himself. Revenge was hoped, and his own safety made him slowly close his eyes and fall asleep deeply.
