In the early morning of the next day, the leaders of the mountain tribes entered the city one after another. Some of the tribe leaders participated in the banquet to welcome the imperial envoy yesterday, and they knew that the Yisu Ceremony would be held today, so they did not leave that night, but stayed nearby. However, there are still a considerable number of small tribal leaders and some village chiefs who did not have the opportunity to participate in the reception of the imperial envoy, and they just arrived today.
The address of the Yisu Grand Ceremony is located in the county school, and the county school instructor Gu Qingge and admonisher Huang Xuan are busy in and out, wandering around. One is responsible for various arrangements in the county school, and the other is responsible for guiding the guests at the gate of the county school. The tribal leaders attending the meeting have different costumes. The village has long been assimilated, and these people are the least resistant to Yi Su.
At the end of the day, Hua Qingfeng, Xu Boyi, Wang Zhubo and Ye Xiaocai accompanied the two imperial envoys to the county school. Li Xuancheng didn't sleep well last night, his face looked very haggard, his heart was broken, and he tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep peacefully, when he thought that such a charming and charming person was actually possessed by a piece of shit, he My heart hurts like a knife.
But, no matter what, he is already married, and Li Xuancheng's hopes are completely shattered. Apart from his endless jealousy and hatred towards Ye Xiaotian, he no longer thinks about anything else. People should be persistent, but not paranoid, but the reason is simple, how many people can do it? Li Xuancheng is the kind of person who is easy to be emotional, but once emotional, he cannot extricate himself.
Regarding Ye Xiaotian's statement, he didn't think about exploring the truth or falsehood, even though he had learned Ye Xiaotian's methods as early as in Jinling, he still didn't think that Ye Xiaotian would use this kind of fake news to deceive him. Furthermore, how can he inquire, dignified imperial envoy, current uncle, how can he open his mouth to inquire about other people's daughter-in-law.
When Li Xuancheng was in the capital, he was almost buried alive by the memorial to impeach him. I still have lingering fears when I think about it. This time, as an imperial envoy, his entourage is also from the Wei faction of the imperial court. Without his personal, how dare he make mistakes? step.
Lin Shilang rested well. When he arrived at the county school, he saw the chiefs of all ethnic groups gathered together, and his spirits were even more lifted. He didn't want Uncle Li Guo to be so obsessed with "investigating officials". He just wanted to complete the Yisu ceremony as soon as possible. Hurry back to the capital as soon as possible to snatch the position of the chief examiner.
Although the imperial decree was read out yesterday, and the intention of the two imperial envoys was once again expressed at the reception banquet, on this occasion today, Lin Shilang still made another speech on behalf of the imperial court, the content was nothing more than praise for Xu Xiancheng. The leading Huxian officials praised the loyalty of the Hu leaders present to the imperial court.
It's just that today is a formal occasion, and it's in the county school, Lin Shilang can't help but make a fuss, parallel four Li six, neat confrontation, many allusions, simple and simple words, unexpectedly impromptu oral recitation, and the eloquence is perfect. After a few words, even Hua Qingfeng and Xu Boyi found it difficult to listen, not to mention the group of Hu tribe leaders who couldn't even write their own names well, all of them were dizzy.
When Lin Shilang finished speaking, the leaders of the Hu tribe who were suffering from mental torture were immediately cheered up. The torture was finally over, and everyone immediately responded with warm applause. Nodding his head and smiling, he was very pleased.
Next, it was Xu Boyi's turn to speak, there was no way, he was the one who initiated this matter, Hua Qingfeng stood beside him, his uncomfortable smile made his face go stiff. Xu Boyi was also aware that the leaders present had limited culture and didn't have a lot of words. Although they spoke plain words, they were not without the power to inspire people's hearts.
When Xu Boyi was speaking, Luo Daheng was whispering to Gao Ya and Li Bohao in the corner. The county school's Confucian students were seconded to serve as concierge staff in the place borrowed by the county school today, and all three of them were among them. Gao Ya and Li Bohao seemed very impatient with Luo Daheng's strict instructions.
Gao Ya said: "tycoon, since when did you become a bitch, it's good to just say this kind of thing once, do you need to tell me over and over again?"
The tycoon said: "You two, of course I can trust you, but..."
Li Bohao immediately opened his eyes and said, "What is this called? Could it be that my father can't believe it?"
The tycoon said: "Don't be like a cockfighter, I'm going to be a father now, so I won't quarrel with you."
Li Bohao became even more unhappy: "Are you trying to say that I am childish?"
The tycoon was annoyed and asked, "Aren't you naive?"
Li Bohao stared bull-eyed, and before he could speak, Luo Daheng picked out his ears and said, "You want to fight with me, right? We'll talk about it some other day! Let me tell you, you'd better go and stare at your father now, this matter Nothing can go wrong, or else..."
At this time, Bantou Zhou rushed in from the outside in a hurry. When he arrived at the county school, he took a look and saw Ye Xiaotian standing on the stage. Bantou Zhou immediately went around to the front desk, rushed to Ye Xiaotian, whispered a few words in his ear, Ye Xiaotian was startled for a moment.
Xu Boyi was still talking, Ye Xiaotian took a deep breath, moved to Hua Qingfeng's side, and said in a low voice: "My lord, something happened on the post road."
Hua Qingfeng was absent-mindedly listening to Xu Boyi's impassioned speech, and was startled when he heard this, and quickly gave Ye Xiaotian a wink, and the two of them moved aside quietly, Hua Qingfeng hurriedly asked: "Ye Dianshi, What happened on the road?"
In the past two days, Hua Qingfeng was busy receiving the imperial envoys, and never went to guard the post, so when he heard that something happened, he was really in a hurry. Team leader Zhou came over and reported in a low voice: "My lord, a batch of military supplies sent from the post road early in the morning was robbed by bandits."
Hua Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, and said suddenly: "This county is only responsible for the smoothness of post roads. Escorting supplies is the army's business, so what does this county have to do with it?"
Zhou Bantou said helplessly: "My lord, the luggage was robbed in this county. It has nothing to do with the post road, but it has something to do with the security of this county."
Hua Qingfeng wondered: "Was it robbed in this county? Ever since Yilong banditry was wiped out, there are at most some scissors in this county. How can there be gangs of thieves who can rob military vehicles?"
Bantou Zhou smiled wryly and said: "There is none in this county, but they can come from neighboring counties. Recently, there is a steady stream of military supplies on the post road, and the fat is flowing. All the bandits and thieves in Guizhou have gathered on this post road. Flying from south to north, committing crimes, I heard that they are more than 300 miles away from here two days ago, who would have thought that they would appear here so soon."
Hua Qingfeng frowned and said: "The thieves are of course to be suppressed, but the thieves who can rob the army of supplies, how can they be easily suppressed? This matter needs to be discussed in the long run. The county is accompanying the imperial envoy here. You delay They have a while."
Zhou Bantou said helplessly: "My lord, in order to shirk responsibility, those soldiers blindly blamed the problems of the post road in this county, such as the road is difficult to walk, it is difficult to deploy defenses, and it is difficult to get rid of bandits. For example, the weeds and trees on both sides of the road have not been cleared. The thieves can hide and so on, the reason is easy to come by, in short, it is the fault of the county. After the Qianhu officials came, they blindly favored his subordinates, and the lowly ranks can't handle it!"
Hua Qingfeng stomped her feet, gritted her teeth and said, "After I tell the two imperial envoys, I will go to the post with you."
Ye Xiaotian frowned and said: "Do you need to go with the officials?"
Hua Qingfeng shook his head and said: "No! You stay here! The left and right sides of the post road are just confused accounts, and they can't be entangled for a while. The county will go and perfunctory them. As for this place, I will leave it to you."
Ye Xiaotian was a little surprised. With Hua Zhixian's usual personality, it's rare for him to be willing to take on it once.
While Xu Boyi was talking, his eyes caught their whispers, and a faint sneer could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.
Hua Qingfeng rushed to the side of Lin Shilang and Uncle Li Guo, cupped his hands and said: "You two imperial envoys, there are some matters on the post road that need to be dealt with by the officials. Yunnan is in the middle of a war, and a large amount of military funds are passing through the border. The officials dare not delay , I also ask the two imperial envoys to forgive me."
After Xu Boyi finished his speech, he rushed over at the right time. Hearing Hua Qingfeng's words, he said, "The post road is related to the military situation, which is of course important. Yisu is related to people's hearts, so isn't it important? What's more, the two imperial envoys are here. As a county Zhengyin, how can I abandon it and ignore it."
Li Xuancheng was a little displeased when he heard this, and said: "Xu Xiancheng's words are reasonable. My uncle and Lin Shilang came from far away from the capital to preside over today's Yisu Ceremony, which shows that the emperor and the imperial court attach great importance to this matter. Your parents and officials How can there be such a reason for not being there!"
Hua Qingfeng said: "My lord, the imperial envoy forgives the crime. To tell the truth, on the post road... there is a group of bandits roaming around on the post road, disturbing the place and robbing military supplies. The lower officials have to deal with it."
Xu Boyi said eccentrically: "Oh? It's about public security. That's Ye Dianshi's job, right? The county magistrate let Ye Dianshi handle it. There is an old saying: 'You can't appoint talents if you can't do it yourself. All the virtuous are scattered.' You can’t do everything by yourself.”
Lin Shilang frowned secretly. He didn't like Xu Boyi's tone very much. He was so domineering before he was above his old boss. No matter what grievances and grievances there were between the two, he shouldn't be so obvious in front of others. . This kind of person has seen too much in his official career, even if he is a little shrewd and capable, it is difficult to become a great weapon with this kind of heart.
Lin Shilang coughed and said, "Since it's related to the military situation, it really cannot be ignored. Huazhi County, you go!"
Hua Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a long bow: "Thank you, Mr. Imperial Envoy, I will take my leave!"
Hua Qingfeng gave Ye Xiaotian a deep look, Ye Xiaotian nodded slightly, Hua Qingfeng led Zhou Bantou and turned away.
Xu Boyi was a little surprised that he failed to transfer Ye Xiaotian away. Based on his understanding of Hua Qingfeng's mind, this county magistrate shouldn't be so responsible. But... Even if Ye Xiaotian stayed, it wouldn't be a big problem, he was already on guard against Ye Xiaotian.
It is not once or twice that he has suffered under Ye Xiaotian's hands. It would be a pleasure to watch Ye Xiaotian lose the battle with his own eyes. Xu Boyi smiled slightly and said, "You two imperial envoys, let's start now!"
