"master?"
Li Yuncong waited for a long time, seeing Hua Zhixian's dumbfounded appearance, he felt contemptuous in his heart, but became more respectful on his face.
Huazhi County didn't say a word, but cried out in pain in his heart: "It's over! It's over! This time it's really over! I studied hard for ten years, and my youth passed the exam. I don't know how happy my parents are, and how envious my neighbors are. I really want to lose my official position for the people and return to my hometown to farm.”
He has been in Hu County for three years, and his political achievements have been lackluster. Now even the new Dian Shi was killed by thieves after entering the jurisdiction. Once the news reaches the court, what will the court think of it? Appointing him to Hu County not only failed to achieve the desired effect, but also the law and order was so bad that even if it was just to give the world an explanation, he would have to become a victim.
When discussing political achievements, Meng Xiancheng and Wang Zhubo, who have always acted as irrelevant to themselves, also turned grim. If such a big incident happened, the court must be furious. If it was just a big exam, the unlucky one must be Hua Qingfeng. It must be Hua Qingfeng.
But after such a big incident, it is hard to say whether the imperial court will also impose strict sanctions on the two of them. Hua Qingfeng is a puppet at all, so if he gets out, he'll get out. The two of them are actually the ones who control the Huxian government. Because of this case, wouldn't they also be finished
The two looked at each other, and they both saw tension in each other's eyes. Although they had always been bitter enemies, they immediately and consciously joined hands in the face of this major event that had a fatal impact on both of them.
"Cough! Li Yuncong, you bring the reporter in." Hua Zhixian was stunned, and Meng Xiancheng spoke for him. Li Yuncong was in awe of Meng County Cheng from the bottom of his heart, so he quickly agreed, and after a while, he brought Ye Xiaotian in.
Meng Xiancheng questioned Ye Xiaotian carefully like an inquisition in court. Ye Xiaotian told Meng Xiancheng everything that happened when he met Ai Dianshi in Lujiao Town, and Meng Xiancheng sat back in his chair slumped. up, waved to him.
Ye Xiaotian cupped his hands and said, "Xiaomin resigns!"
"Wait!" Master Wang suddenly came to his senses, yelled at Ye Xiaotian, stood up and said, "This matter is of great importance, you are an important witness, you must not leave this county for the time being. Come on, put them in the post for now. "
Master Wang turned to Ye Xiaotian again and said: "You and your family go to the post house to stay first, and the officer will record your statement."
Ye Xiaotian frowned, and thought: "It's really troublesome. But in order to avoid bigger troubles, I can only cooperate with them."
Ye Xiaotian said with a smile: "Yes! Then Xiaomin will leave after recording the statement."
Master Wang smiled slightly, and said: "Wait for the county lord to move quickly, and then ask Luo Xunjian to send a troop to go to the mountain pass to investigate the situation of Ai Dianshi. I will ask you to lead the way. You can't go for now. When will You can leave and wait for the officer's order."
Ye Xiaotian anxiously said: "Master, Xiaomin, I..."
Master Wang waved his hand and said loudly: "Come here, take him down and settle in the post house!"
There were four yamen servants standing outside the second meeting room, two of them rushed over immediately, and stood beside Ye Xiaotian, one on the left and one on the right.
Ye Xiaotian had no choice but to leave with the two yamen servants dejectedly, Hua Zhixian smiled sadly, and said to Master Wang: "Master Wang, soon, we have to leave office to serve the people, hehe, what's the use of keeping that man. "
Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly rolled, he laughed loudly, and said: "Dismiss from office for the people! This official, who is aggrieved, is going to be dismissed from office for the people. Meng County Chancellor and Master Wang, you two also want to Together with this official, I was demoted for the people. Hahaha... I never thought that the three of you and I would become grasshoppers on the same rope, hahaha... "
Hua Zhi County has been in Hu County for three years. From the beginning of the struggle, he was discouraged and became a puppet helplessly. I don’t know how much hatred he has for Mengxian Cheng and Wang Zhubu who took his power and manipulated him at will. Shen, now suddenly thinks that these two people will be unlucky, even though he cannot escape the same guilt, he still has an unspeakable pleasure.
Hua Zhixian patted the table and laughed until tears came out. Master Wang looked at him coldly, and when he was panting from laughter, he said slowly, "There may not be a solution to this matter."
Hua Zhixian pointed at him and laughed wildly: "The solution? Hahaha, Mr. Wang, the county admits that you are resourceful, but in the current situation, what can you do? You have a lot to do with the mountain tribes Is it? I heard that there are wizards in the mountains, and the Miao family also has voodoo techniques, why don't you invite a great shaman or a great voodoo master to bring Ai Dianshi back to life. Hahaha... "
The more Hua Zhixian talked, the more interesting he became, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing. God is sorry to see, he has been in Hu County for three years, and he has been swallowing his anger, today is the first time he can point at Master Wang's nose and mock him like this. Master Wang stared at Hua Qingfeng, who was laughing a little crazy, and said word by word: "That's right! I just want to save him!"
As soon as this remark came out, Hua Zhi County's laughter stopped abruptly. He looked at Master Wang in horror, and asked in a voice, "Rescue him? You...you... Is there really such a secret technique in the world that can bring people back from the dead? "
He thought that he would lose his official position and serve the people after this encounter, but he was so disheartened that he was broken, but when he heard that there was still hope, he couldn't help feeling nervous.
Master Wang didn't answer, he coldly searched the secondary officials, chief officials, and miscellaneous officials in the hall, and said: "Everyone, once this matter today is known to the court, the county lords, the county magistrates, etc. He and this official are certainly to blame, but all the officials in Hu County must be punished regardless of whether they are minor or serious. Now we can be said to be prosperous and hurt, and we must work together to overcome the difficulties."
Everyone nodded in agreement, Luo Xiaoye frowned and said, "My lord, what can you do? I have heard of the Miao family's voodoo technique, and it is said to be very miraculous, but it seems that there is no voodoo master with such a great skill." Magical powers?"
Master Wang smiled strangely, before he could speak, Meng Xiancheng suddenly showed a dazed expression, got up suddenly and said: "Li Yuncong."
The scribe was still standing there blankly, and when he was called, he quickly agreed.
Meng County Prime Minister said: "From today onwards, you will be the Household Official."
Huazhi County was suddenly displeased, although he was just a display, but even if he was pretending, Meng Xiancheng should ask him for instructions, why did he leave him aside and appoint him without authorization. Li Yuncong was dumbfounded when he heard that, he was promoted somehow? From an ordinary official, he suddenly became the leader of the household department
Mengxian Cheng said: "You have to keep your mouth shut about today's matter, and you must not tell anyone about it. But there is a little bit of rumors spread..."
Meng Xiancheng's expression became ferocious: "We are unlucky, and we must make you unlucky first!"
Only then did Li Yuncong understand that there is no such thing as a good thing, Meng Xiancheng wants him to block the news, but he doesn't know what Meng Xiancheng wants to do, such a big matter, can we hide it? Li Yuncong felt apprehensive, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
Meng Xiancheng glanced at the two yamen servants standing outside the hall. They were so far apart, and it was impossible for them to hear the discussion in the hall without talking loudly, so he ordered: "Go, take the two of them away, and let the two of them leave. You stay outside the door." Li Yuncong backed out hurriedly, obediently.
At this time, Huazhi County also saw something strange, and couldn't help but ask: "Meng County Prime Minister, what do you mean? Could it be...you already understand what Master Wang said?"
Meng Xiancheng took a look at Master Wang, and the two looked at each other and smiled. They really deserved to be equal opponents who have been fighting for a long time. Both of them obviously understood what the other was thinking. Meng County Prime Minister and Wang Zhubo have always been fighting each other and refused to give an inch, but now they only smiled slightly and said: "Let's ask Wang Zhubo to solve the mystery for you."
Mengxian Cheng returned to his seat, Shi Shiran sat down, Master Wang smiled slightly, and stood up. The two cooperated tacitly, and they looked like a pair of friends who have been friends for many years. In officialdom, there really is no permanent enemy.
Hua Zhixian couldn't hold back his breath, and said impatiently: "Master Wang, what can you do, tell me quickly."
Master Wang said: "Listen to what that kid just said, apart from the murderer, only he, his second younger sister, third younger sister, and the adults in this room know about Ai Dianshi's death, right?"
Hua Zhixian nodded hastily, and said, "That's right, besides Li Yuncong, so what?"
Master Wang said: "If we can bring 'Ai Dianshi' back to life, the murderer will never stand up and say that he is a fake. They are a group of robbers who stole money and killed themselves. Besides, they may not even know that they are fake. The person who robbed and murdered the county's canons, otherwise they might not have dared to do it. And we, of course, wouldn't say it... "
When Master Wang said this, Hua Zhixian finally understood, and said in surprise: "You mean... find someone to impersonate... how is this possible, Ai Dianshi is not someone who jumped out of a crack in the rock, you find someone to impersonate, who can impersonate how long?"
Master Wang smiled sinisterly, and said: "It won't be long, after a while, if 'Ai Dianshi' died of illness in Hu County because of unacceptable conditions, can the imperial court hold us accountable? What does it have to do with us?" ?”
After hearing this, Huazhi County couldn't help gasping, and the other officials also understood what Master Wang meant at this time, and they were all shocked. However, among them, they were either Cheng Meng or his confidants, or the matter was related to their own vital interests, and none of them objected.
Meng Xiancheng coughed, and said: "In this way, Ai Dianshi died in the end, but his death has nothing to do with us. Shouldn't we just pass this test?"
Hua Zhixian said in a naive manner: "Is this possible?" Thinking about it carefully, it is really feasible, his eyes gradually lit up: "But... where can we find someone to impersonate Ai Dianshi?"
Master Wang smiled complacently, and said: "Why bother to look for it? If you look for someone locally, you don't know that no one recognizes him, which ruins our big business. Wouldn't it be enough to use this kid who just reported the news? Anyway? His age is about the same as that of Ai Dianshi, so let him say how old he is."
Hua Zhixian felt cold in his heart, and said to himself: "Doesn't that mean that after a period of time, the person surnamed Ye must be killed? To be on the safe side, the person surnamed Ye is going to die, and his two younger sisters can't let them live. Three lives..."
Hua Zhixian couldn't bear it, but he was even more reluctant to bear his own future, and seeing that all the officials in the hall were silent, if he wanted to object, he might even "die of illness" together. It's a local plague.
Hua Zhixian gritted his teeth and said, "But... that Ye, will you agree?"
Meng Xiancheng and Wang Zhubo smiled at the same time, looked at him contemptuously and said, "Can I let him go?"
