Expulsion order!
Faced with some people who were harassing Kang Qu, Wang Liaoyuan decisively issued an eviction order!
After all, he is an official and represents the Taiyuan government, and Kang Qu is just a small foreign businessman in Taiyuan City. Why can he repeatedly question and challenge him
"Lord Governor, please wait!"
Wang Liaoyuan issued an order to expel the guests, but Kang Qu did not appreciate the praise. He loudly said: "Your Majesty, Brother Chang'an died in Taiyuan City for unknown reasons. I sincerely ask the Governor to agree to let me participate in the investigation together. On the one hand, The villain can give an explanation to my king. On the other hand, the villain has many capable people at his disposal who can help the governor solve the case as soon as possible and catch the real culprit!"
Good guy, this guy actually wants to participate in the government investigation
When Wang Liaoyuan heard this, his face darkened immediately, and he said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your kindness! But there is no need to participate in the investigation! It is the responsibility of me and the Taiyuan government to find the truth and catch the real murderer, so I don't need to worry about it! If you have nothing else to do, please come back! Don't interfere with the investigation of the governor's office!"
As for Kang Qu's words, which hinted at threatening the King of Kang, Wang Liaoyuan didn't care at all at this time!
Not to mention that Kang Qu could not see the King of Kang at all. Even if he could see and speak in front of the King of Kang, Wang Liaoyuan would be right, because at the moment, the most important thing for the entire Taiyuan officialdom is to purge him. All hidden dangers in the city that are detrimental to Li Tai are eliminated to ensure Li Tai's life safety!
Besides, nothing else is more important than this!
When Kang Qu heard this, he was immediately very dissatisfied and said: "The governor is unwilling to participate in this case. Is it possible that there is an ulterior motive in this case? Or is it that the governor is confident that the case will be closed in a short time?"
"presumptuous!"
Wang Liaoyuan couldn't bear it any longer. He shouted angrily and scolded: "Why do I need to report to you the progress of the investigation by the governor's office? I am an official with a salary from the imperial court, so I should share the worries of my Majesty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. What are you doing? Are you questioning the fairness of this officer and the Tang Dynasty? Even if you, the King of Kang, are here, you would not dare to make such nonsense! If you are still messing around here, I will punish you for disrupting the investigation!"
There is a saying that a weak country has no diplomacy, and this is really vividly demonstrated here by Wang Liaoyuan. Both the Tang Dynasty and the Turks are considered to be the most powerful countries on the Asian continent today. Although Kang State is good at economics and has strong "soft power", However, the comprehensive national strength is still less than one-tenth of that of the Tang Dynasty, so Wang Liaoyuan's words are quite tough!
Kang Qu was so reprimanded by Wang Liaoyuan that his face turned red and he couldn't help it. He leaned over and said, "Then I request to leave the city. I want to return to Kang State to inform Brother Chang'an's family of this bad news. I also ask for permission from the Governor!"
Now that the four city gates of Taiyuan have been closed, that's why he made this request, otherwise he would have left the city directly at this moment!
Wang Liaoyuan frowned and flatly refused: "No! Now I have ordered the city defenders to seal the city gate and search the city for the whereabouts of the assassin who assassinated Kang Changan. No one is allowed to leave the city until the assassin is caught! If you want After leaving Taiyuan, it’s better to wait patiently in the city for a few days!”
Kang Qu said with an ugly face: "I am close friends with Brother Chang'an. Now I just want to go back to Kangguo to inform Brother Chang'an's family about the bad news of Brother Chang'an's death. Why do you want to block it, the Governor? Is it possible, the Governor? Sir, do you suspect that I am also an assassin~?"
Li Tai couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Before the murderer is caught, anyone may be the real murderer, so no one can leave the city! If you are really friends with Kang Chang'an, you shouldn't obstruct the government here. Find the murderer for him!"
Seeing Li Tai come out to speak, Kang Qu couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart. With Li Tai's identity there, he didn't dare to say anything radical. After thinking about it, he snorted angrily and said:
"Okay! In that case, I'll take my leave! I hope that the governor can close Brother Chang'an's case within three days, otherwise we merchants from Kang State doing business in Taiyuan will not agree, and neither will I, the King of Kang State! Farewell~! "
After saying such a painless "harsh word", Kang Qu ran away decisively. He didn't want to get himself involved because of a dead person.
At this time, Li Tai turned to look at Wang Liaoyuan and said softly: "Prince Wang doesn't need to take this person's words to heart. You only need to solve the case within the time limit set by my father!"
The little fat man was worried that Kang Qu's pressure on Kang Guo would make Wang Liaoyuan feel pressured, which would affect the solution of the case!
Wang Liaoyuan heard this and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Your Highness~!"
Li Tai shook his head. He looked at Kang Qu's leaving figure, his eyes flashed, and said: "I think there is something wrong with this person. Governor Wang, you'd better send two alert people to follow him. Maybe you can gain something." uncertain!"
Wang Liaoyuan's heart trembled. After pondering for a moment, he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Yes! I'll go make arrangements now~!"
After that, Wang Liaoyuan resigned.
"Your Highness, do you think there is something wrong with Kangqu?"
After Wang Liaoyuan left, Wang Yu looked at Li Tai and asked with interest.
Li Tai nodded lightly, then shook his head and said: "I don't know, I just feel that Kang Qu is a little too impatient. He wants to end the case in a hurry and get out of the city! In addition, the Chuji Ironware Shop has been closed down, and there are people who are interested. We can know the news, but the news of Kang Changan’s assassination should only be known to the Wang family’s secret guards and a small number of government officials. How did Kang Qu know about it? And he came to the county government so quickly to ‘raise troops to investigate’?”
When Wang Yu heard this, his eyes showed admiration. He nodded and said with a smile: "Your Highness is very perceptive, I admire you~!"
Li Tai said humbly: "My great-uncle is ridiculous. Even if Xiao Wang didn't tell me these details, I believe my great-uncle would have noticed it a long time ago!"
While talking, Wang Liaoyuan had already arranged for the government officials to follow Kang Qu, and he himself returned to the back hall. Several people stayed here, actually just waiting for news.
About a quarter of an hour later, Dugu Feiying finally walked in from the outside. As soon as he entered, the guy said excitedly: "As expected by His Highness, the last general just gave Chu the weapons used by the assassins this morning. The blacksmiths at Ji Iron Shop identified them, and they unanimously confirmed that the weapons came from Chu Ji Iron Shop, and they were a batch of weapons they had just forged not long ago!"
Hearing this, Li Tai, Wang Liaoyuan and Wang Yu all stood up suddenly. Wang Yu's eyes flashed and he said solemnly: "This means that the mysterious person behind the scenes is really in Taiyuan City at this time, and they should be better than His Highness. The group entered the city earlier!”
Wang Liaoyuan bowed his hands to Li Tai and Wang Yu and said, "I will order the soldiers from Bingzhou Camp to search for these weapons in the city, and use these weapons to identify the mysterious man behind the scenes and his accomplices." party!"
… … … … … … … … …
"Didi~didi~didi-didi..."
At the same time, in Chang'an, the Xuanjia Army camp was held.
The telegraph machine in Li Zexuan's camp suddenly rang. Yuchi Baolin, who was guarding the telegraph machine, immediately went to the school grounds to notify Li Zexuan to come and receive the telegram.
"It's actually a telegram from the government!"
Every telegraph machine produced in the workshop has a machine code. Correspondingly, in order to show the identity of the sender, each telegraph machine must first send the machine code of its own telegraph machine before sending a telegram. As soon as Li Zexuan saw the familiar line of machine code in the message, his heart suddenly sank, because this was the telegram sent to him by the telegraph machine in the Marquis' Mansion in Lantian County!
"Could something happen in the house~?"
Almost subconsciously, Li Zexuan had a bad feeling in his heart. After all, Han Yuxi is the only one in the mansion who can use a telegraph machine, and Han Yuxi knows that she is busy training sergeants in the military camp at the moment. If there is nothing very urgent, she will definitely not bother her with a telegraph!
"Didi~didi~didi..."
Li Zexuan controlled the telegraph machine and sent a code to the other party to confirm his identity. After a while, a long code was quickly sent over.
Li Zexuan was highly concentrated. After the code entered his ears, he automatically translated the message in his mind. Gradually, the look on his face gradually relaxed.
"It turned out to be the telegram sent by County Magistrate He with the help of the Marquis's telegraph machine!"
Li Zexuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then he calmed down and "carefully read" the contents of the telegram that County Magistrate He asked Han Yuxi to send.
"His Majesty decreed to reward the businessmen who participated in the fund-raising meeting yesterday. In addition to the public praise in the "Datang Daily", the businessmen who donated money yesterday can receive the same amount of tax exemption this year... However, the businessmen who donated money yesterday, More than half of them came from Lantian County, and the total donation amounted to nearly 260,000 yuan...
If Lantian County responds to the imperial court's reward policy, this year's commercial tax revenue will be greatly reduced... If Lantian County's government insists on its own government, it will frighten the hearts of the merchants in the county. Our past efforts for the commercial prosperity of Lantian County will be greatly reduced. All in vain...
The matter is so serious that the officials and others dare not take charge of it, so I sent a telegram to the Marquis, asking him to make his own decision! "
After "reading" the content of the message, Li Zexuan couldn't help but frowned. He looked up to the sky and sighed, and murmured to himself: "Old Li, Old Li, I was kind enough to help you, but you did it the other way round." Give me a hand! It’s really hard to be a good person these days!”
I think it was Li Er who asked him to help solve the problem of military expenses after 150,000 soldiers from various provinces entered Beijing, so yesterday's fund-raising meeting was held. However, Li Zexuan never expected that after raising enough military expenses, Li Er would do the same. The imperial edict of commendation has completely devastated Lantian County!
And Lantian County is his fiefdom. If Li Er cheats Lantian County, doesn't that mean he cheated him
Yuchi Baolin, who was standing not far from Li Zexuan, faintly heard the treasonous words coming out of Li Zexuan's mouth, and quickly moved lightly towards the door of the camp.
Normally this guy is quite "confused". At this critical moment, he might as well continue to pretend to be confused. It's rare to be confused in life!
