Turbulent Times Chapter 364: Foreign Marquis Commander
Soon, the shocked crowd gradually came to their senses, and everyone's eyes couldn't help looking back, so Li Zongming, whose face was intertwined with blue and red, fell into everyone's eyes, and then everyone looked at him quietly Waiting to see how Lord Sima, who is in charge of Yongzhou, will react to the heads of fourteen officials.
Wang Junlin also stood on the stage and looked at him with a smile in his eyes. He was also very curious. Today, he can be said to have wiped out most of the officials of the Li family in Yongzhou officialdom. It's not done yet, how will this Yongzhou Sima respond?
Therefore, these tens of thousands of people, including Wang Junlin, were all waiting for Li Zongming's reaction.
This kind of moment is very tormenting. Li Zongming only hates that he was too impulsive just now. He couldn't sit still when he heard that Wang Junlin was going to kill more than a dozen officials. embarrassing situation.
Everyone was silent with each other. Wang Junlin had good eyesight, so he could clearly see the embarrassment on Li Zongming's face and the expression of being in a dilemma from a distance.
Wang Junlin smiled, and the wonderful expression on Li Zongming's face told him that it seemed right to set up this prestige today.
Chen Danying is still in Li's hands, so there should be a limit to everything. It is not a good thing to push the opponent too hard. Wang Junlin is very clear about this truth. It is the choice of smart people, and it is time to give Li Zongming a step down.
So Wang Junlin raised his voice and said: "Li Sima, these fourteen officials from Yongzhou framed the Shangguan, and what's more, they did these unconscionable things without telling the governor and Sima. A few days ago, the governor Mr. Wang was injured because they instructed the culprits to do it. Thanks to Mr. Sima's insight, he saw through the conspiracy of these criminals at a glance. The next official followed Li Sima's order and beheaded all fourteen criminals in Yongzhou. Please ask Li Sima to check. "
There was another gasp of surprise in the crowd. After Wang Junlin said these words, everyone looked at Li Zongming differently.
Li Zongming almost lost his temper when he heard the words.
Follow my orders? Will I order to kill all my confidant officials in Yongzhou? Do you think I'm as crazy as you?
When his angry eyes passed through the crowd and fell on Wang Junlin's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Li Zongming suddenly calmed down.
He knows that Wang Junlin is now giving him the step, if he does not take this step, but chooses to turn against Wang Junlin in front of tens of thousands of people, then what will Wang Junlin do next? Only God knows, after all, this guy is a lunatic.
Taking a deep breath, Li Zongming finally suppressed his anger and tried to squeeze out a smile. He didn't even forget to hold up his official authority with his hands behind his back, showing that "everything is under the control of the official". , nodded slowly.
"Qin Anhou's words are true. These people have enmity with Qin Anhou, so they spread rumors, framed the superiors without saying anything, deceived the superiors and deceived the inferiors, worked in collusion, and oppressed the good fish and meat people. I have often heard about it. Today The evil deeds of these fourteen people who were under the law have already been investigated by the official, in order not to leak the news in advance, I specially asked Qin Anhou to mobilize people to take down all these official scum."
Ten tens of thousands of disaster victims and local people were still in shock. Looking at each other, they found that each other's eyes were full of disbelief.
Questioning murmurs came from somewhere deep in the crowd, to the effect that today Li Sima said that he was aware of their rampant crimes. Two days ago, Li Sima led officials from Yongzhou and a large group of people to the governor Let Qin Anhou ask for an explanation in front of the mansion? Isn't that contradictory?
The murmurs are just murmurs, no one dares to say them out loud, and the common people now understand that this is a battle in the officialdom and has nothing to do with the common people. , Only those who live impatiently will be serious, and whoever is serious will die.
Li Zongming put on the airs of an official, looking majestic and inviolable, but he was suffering in his heart.
Wang Junlin is such a scheming guy, and he killed people quickly, but he threw the blame at him without hesitation. Just now Li Zongming was forced by the situation and had to walk down the steps Wang Junlin gave, but he had to go down the steps. The one who paid the price just now undoubtedly admitted that he was the instigator of this incident in front of the people in the city, and then what?
There are too many problems in this matter, too many future troubles, Li Zongming only feels that the word "trouble" is almost engraved on his forehead at this moment, and all these troubles can only be handled by Li Zongming himself. To deal with the aftermath personally, who told me that I was so cheap just now, and took the lives of these fourteen people?
Under the stage, Li Zongming was full of worries and thoughts, and the common people were discussing and wondering, but Wang Junlin didn't care so much. Seeing Li Zongming walking down the steps very interestingly, Wang Junlin was a little disappointed.
"Fortunately, the officials did not disgrace their orders. All fourteen offenders in Yongzhou subjugated the law. From now on, there will be no bad officials in Yongzhou who bully good people. Li Sima is really a good official with knowledge and compassion."
So trying so hard to say good things, but Li Zongming didn't appreciate it. When he came down the steps, he took the blame. After calming down, he didn't believe that Wang Junlin was a fool or a lunatic. There must be some reason why Wang Junlin dared to kill fourteen officials without authorization.
Wang Junlin stood on the stage, staring at Li Zongming silently in the distance. The distance between the two was too far to see the expression on each other's face. The strange thing is that everyone knew the expression on the other's face .
For a long time, Wang Junlin suddenly smiled at Li Zongming, and cupped his hands from a distance.
Li Zongming snorted angrily, shook his robe sleeves violently, turned and left.
Beside Wang Junlin, a white-faced and beardless middle-aged guard looked at Li Zongming's back, his eyes were cold and there was a sneer at the corners of his mouth: "Your Majesty has almost done the things that His Majesty told you. Our family should also go back and report to Your Majesty." It's a business trip."
"Eunuch Hou is the commander of the Marquis, and he came to Jincheng in person. This Marquis has not entertained the Commander well. Besides, this is just the beginning. Whether it is this Marquis or His Majesty, the appetite is definitely more than that." Wang Junlin said with a smile.
"Alright, there are some things that need to be told by Marquis Qin An in detail, so that we can return to the capital and report to His Majesty." The commander surnamed Hou looked away and said with a smile.
Within less than a cup of tea, Wang Junlin and Eunuch Hou returned to the yamen of the Chief Manager's Mansion in Jincheng. The two had a secret conversation for half an hour. No one knew what they said, and after that Eunuch Hou disappeared.
…
…
Killing someone, gaining prestige, and clarifying the **** rumors in front of hundreds of thousands of people, the effect is very good, but if you don't do the next thing, Wang Junlin's situation will still not change much.
