Ouchi Cat Controlling, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!
Chapter 652 Dog bites dog
Li Xuan just squinted all the way until the carriage stopped completely.
"Meow~"
He let out a lazy cry, stretched out his head buried deep in the softness, and barely opened one eye to see.
"Axuan, you can really sleep, we are all at the right place."
Princess Ankang joked.
Li Xuan took a nap all day and didn't eat, so he relied on Princess Ankang to feed him dried fish from time to time.
After experiencing yesterday, he also knew that he had nothing to do during the day and might be busy at night, so he simply changed his schedule.
Li Xuan climbed all the way up to Princess Ankang's shoulders, stretched his neck to look out the car window, and couldn't help but yawned loudly.
Different from the situation when they arrived in Jinghou County yesterday, there were far fewer people outside to greet them, only a few people.
Emperor Yongyuan could use the name of disrespect to punish local officials.
But both Emperor Yongyuan and Li Xuan knew that Chief Monk Shang had something to do with this.
Emperor Yongyuan had already got off the imperial chariot at this time, and King Zheng and other officials also followed suit.
Emperor Yongyuan looked serious, frowning slightly as he looked at such a simple welcoming team.
Although King Zheng and the civil servants were a little surprised, they soon looked at each other and smiled.
They all believed that this was the reaction of the officials here after receiving the news.
I just don't know who the county magistrate here is, who is so cruel and ruthless. In order to protect himself, he has tormented the local officials and gentry to such an extent.
Although everyone didn't say it, they all knew that it was inappropriate to kill so many people in one night, and they should all be imprisoned.
As long as those who may pose a threat to them do not appear in front of Emperor Yongyuan, they can directly deal with whoever Emperor Yongyuan calls to testify.
There was no way that Emperor Yongyuan would delay his southern tour schedule just for the sake of a small county like theirs.
Since Emperor Yongyuan could not resolve the matter, King Zheng and the civil servants would naturally come forward to entangle him.
This is their specialty.
Moreover, such a deserted scene could also damage Emperor Yongyuan's face. At this time, King Zheng and the civil servants were laughing secretly in their hearts.
"Who is the county magistrate here?"
Emperor Yongyuan asked coldly.
Immediately, a thin and lame middle-aged official walked out of the welcoming team of several people.
Seeing this man lame, even King Zheng and the civil servants could not help but frown.
This flaw is fatal when selecting officials. It will be a big obstacle when obtaining meritorious titles. It should be a limp after becoming an official.
But in this way, the future promotion path will basically be blocked, unless he can get the favor of King Zheng.
They originally had high hopes for the local magistrate, but at this time they had given up and only planned to give up after a few words of encouragement.
For such people, the road ahead will be too difficult, they will not be of much use value, and they are not worth the trouble.
"Zhang Qiu, the official historian of Caiyun County, has met your Majesty. Long live my emperor. Long live the emperor."
Zhang Chou came out and bowed down to Emperor Yongyuan in an upright manner.
Emperor Yongyuan pretended to be confused and asked Zhang Chou:
"My name is the county magistrate. What do you, a classic historian, say when you come out?"
King Zheng and the civil servants also looked confused, while the two princes had nothing to do with their matters and kept their heads high, looking at Zhang Chou in a relaxed manner to see how he would answer.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Some unbelievable things happened in Caiyun County last night. Therefore, we are the only ones in Caiyun County who can escape to greet them." Zhang Chou said neither humble nor arrogant.
"An incredible incident?"
Emperor Yongyuan's tone was full of doubts.
If Li Xuan hadn't heard Emperor Yongyuan's order to Manager Shang last night, he might have really been deceived by him now.
"The magistrate of this county, Mr. Gao Yanangao, fled last night in fear of crime, along with the county's chief registrar, county prime minister, Yi Cheng... and other officials."
Zhang Chou basically ordered all the officials in charge of the county, and everyone present fell silent.
Several senior officials immediately looked at King Zheng.
King Zheng said yesterday that he would be responsible for delivering news to the outside world.
But what kind of news did this convey? It was so frightening that most of the officials in Caiyun County ran away, leaving only a lame Dianshi to pick him up.
The civil servants couldn't help but wonder whether King Zheng had delivered the wrong message.
But this kind of mistake is too low-level.
Originally, the confrontation in front of the court might not necessarily be judged as a solid case by Emperor Yongyuan. After all, they were still assisting.
But if he runs away like this now, doesn't it confirm the suspicion on him?
Such a foolish move could never come from King Zheng, so it must be local officials who made their own decisions.
"You said your surname is Zhang, and you are from the Zhang family?"
Emperor Yongyuan suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
In the Daxing officialdom, there was only one Zhang family, and that was Concubine Zhang's family.
Now the head of the Zhang family is Zhang Zhixian, the father of Concubine Zhang. He holds the position of Shangshu Ling in the court and is the leader of the civil service line, following in the footsteps of King Zheng.
Only this time, Zhang Zhixian did not accompany him during the southern tour. Instead, he was arranged to handle the government affairs of the DPRK and China and maintain the operation of the court during the southern tour.
Although the head of the Zhang family is not here, there are still many Zhang family members among the civil servants.
When Emperor Yongyuan asked, they also became interested and looked at Zhang Chou.
"Report to Your Majesty, Qiu is just an insignificant branch of the Zhang family."
Zhang Qiu admitted it.
"Okay, since you said that the magistrate and others fled in fear of crime, what crime did they commit?"
"It just so happens that you are Dian Shi, please come with me one by one."
Emperor Yongyuan said in a deep voice.
Zhang Chou took a look and found that apart from the people he brought with him, they were the southern patrol team.
Emperor Yongyuan asked him to speak, so he had no taboos.
"Your Majesty, news came last night that the magistrate of Jinghou County was beheaded on trial..."
"Oh, has the news from Jinghou County reached here?"
Although Emperor Yongyuan asked Zhang Chou, his eyes glanced at Prince Zheng and the civil servants.
Except for King Zheng who treated him calmly, the other civil servants could not help but lower their gazes and did not dare to look at Emperor Yongyuan.
"This news came much faster than us."
The southern patrol team has just arrived, but Caiyun County received the wind last night.
"Okay, Zhang Chou, you don't need to say more."
"Lead the way to the county government office!"
How could Zhang Chou dare to question Emperor Yongyuan's decision, so he immediately accepted the order.
"Zhao Feng, send someone to hunt them down immediately. They won't be able to run too far in one day. Don't let me down."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Feng immediately took the order and saw him waving his hand to the woods in the distance, and then there was a rustling sound from inside.
Then, Zhao Feng returned to Emperor Yongyuan calmly, as if he had done an insignificant thing.
Emperor Yongyuan said no more and asked Zhang Chou to lead them to the county government office.
Zhao Feng didn't say a word, as if the matter had been resolved.
This situation made King Zheng and the civil servants murmur in their hearts.
No one in Daxing has heard of the power of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
But they escaped all the way last night. You, Zhao Feng, just waved your hand and expected to catch them without even intending to take action personally. Isn't this a bit too much?
Also, Emperor Yongyuan just asked Zhao Feng to capture the person.
Anyway, the southern inspection tour is still long, and with the capabilities of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is not difficult to catch a few officials who have escaped.
But at this moment, Emperor Yongyuan said casually:
"Zhao Feng, before I leave here tomorrow, I want to meet all the fugitive officials in Caiyun County."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and they even thought that Zhao Feng's previous attitude had angered Emperor Yongyuan.
As a result, Zhao Feng remained calm and calmly answered:
"Old slave understands."
Emperor Yongyuan stopped talking and went to the county government office to prepare for a rest.
Others looked at it in confusion and thought that there was some conflict between the master and servant, Emperor Yongyuan and Zhao Feng.
Only Li Xuan, who was standing on Princess Ankang's shoulders, looked strange.
"The acting is just like the real thing, two actors!"
Li Xuan secretly cursed these two people for playing a double act here.
The entire Caiyun County was deserted. Li Xuan took a closer look and found that many mansions were empty.
It seems that Manager Shang really released the news last night, which shocked many people.
As for the main officials, they should be in his hands, waiting to be arrested and brought to justice.
Sure enough, as soon as the county government had finished dinner, the Ministry of Internal Affairs already had news.
Originally they were going to have a rest after eating, but Zhao Feng whispered a few words to Emperor Yongyuan.
Then Emperor Yongyuan said to everyone: "Let's rest later today."
"The fugitive is already on his way to be escorted over."
Emperor Yongyuan and a group of officials waited at the county government office for half an hour.
During this period, many people were on tenterhooks and uneasy.
Emperor Yongyuan drank tea to eat, which was very pleasant.
Half an hour later, there was some noise outside the county government office, and then the eunuchs in colorful clothes escorted a few unkempt people in and asked them to kneel on the ground.
These people were panic-stricken and their eyes were erratic, which was consistent with the state of a fugitive being captured and brought to justice.
But Li Xuan understood that their minds might not be clear anymore.
Manager Shang's way of dealing with ordinary people can be said to be easy to grasp.
Especially this kind of task can often have unexpected results.
Several fugitives looked at the people in the hall in a daze.
When they saw King Zheng, their eyes suddenly lit up.
"Your Majesty!"
These people seemed to be unable to see Emperor Yongyuan, who was wearing a dragon robe and sitting in charge of the case.
King Zheng immediately slammed the table and reprimanded:
"Be bold!"
"You dare to be rude in front of His Majesty, will you be found guilty?"
King Zheng also frowned and cursed these idiots in his heart.
"His Majesty?"
They turned to look at Emperor Yongyuan, but they didn't seem to recognize him.
Other officials in the county government did not say anything, but the county magistrate must have seen the emperor, but he could not react at this time.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!?"
"The humble minister Gao Yanang has met the Holy Lord, long live him..."
Gao Yanang's words were not easy to speak, and even his shouts of "Long Live" were stuttering.
"Gao Yanang, you fled in fear of crime, and now that you have been arrested and brought to justice, what else do you have to say?" Emperor Yongyuan did not follow him.
"This, this..."
Gao Yanang hesitated for a long time and turned to King Zheng and other civil servants for help.
But they all just frowned and did not respond to his plan, which made Gao Yanang even more frightened.
He was sleeping last night when he received a message from Prince Zheng's spies coming to the county government office.
After learning the news about Jinghou County and knowing that Emperor Yongyuan was going to operate on him next, Gao Yanang immediately listened to King Zheng's arrangements and immediately led his people to escape.
The spies sent by King Zheng personally led them, and they rode on fast horses and ran around for a day and a night.
But damn, the Ministry of Internal Affairs actually sent eunuchs in colorful clothes like magic soldiers descending from the sky. They fell directly from the sky, lifted up their collars, and captured them all like chickens.
At this time, they realized the horror of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Even the spies sent by King Zheng had no power to fight back. They were beaten into pieces in an instant and died.
That was not all. The eunuchs in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were like gods. They carried them on clouds and mist. They fled outside the city for a day and a night, but returned to the county government in a blink of an eye.
Emperor Yongyuan in the county government looked down on all living beings like the Jade Emperor, and other officials were like evil spirits. Only King Zheng's face could make them feel a little friendly.
"Confess and be lenient. Confess your guilt voluntarily. I can give you a quick death." Emperor Yongyuan urged.
As a result, Gao Yanang was frightened by this sentence, and reacted like he was electrocuted, shouting:
"Your Majesty is innocent, Your Majesty is innocent!"
"It was the prince who asked us to run, we didn't want to!"
Before Gao Yanang finished speaking, a civil servant shouted: "Nonsense!"
"Gao Yanang, now the evidence is solid, you still dare to make random accusations, you are really crazy."
"Your Majesty, I suggest that you follow the example of Jinghou County and immediately kill this beast to set an example!"
"Also give justice to the people of Caiyun County."
The Minister of Punishment jumped out and said righteously.
"Is it too impatient and not in accordance with the procedure?"
Emperor Yongyuan leaned back and asked indifferently.
"Your Majesty's southern tour is to monitor the world. Now that you have encountered such evildoers, how can you let them go easily?"
"I propose to exterminate the three clans of these evildoers and execute them by slow slicing!"
"Yes, slow slicing, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate the resentment of the people of Caiyun County."
"The people have finally waited for Your Majesty, Your Majesty must not let them down!"
"Slow slicing, slow slicing..."
The civil officials called out in unison, leaving Gao Yanang and others kneeling below stunned.
"Ah???"
They looked at each other and came to their senses. Something seemed wrong.
Their brains, which were still muddled just now, gradually woke up under the threat of exterminating the three clans and slow slicing, and then worked quickly.
Gao Yanang came to his senses first.
King Zheng sent spies to let them run, and they chose to trust them unconditionally.
But now the civil officials turned around and sold them out, even wanting to exterminate the three clans and slow slicing.
No matter how slow Gao Yanang and others were, they also reacted.
"Your Majesty, all this was instigated by King Zheng, and I have evidence of his crime!"
"It's them, they are harming me!"
Gao Yangang screamed like a pig being slaughtered, and the noisy county government suddenly became quiet.
But this silence lasted less than a moment, and it became even more chaotic again.
"Your Majesty, Gao Yangang is so crazy, I beg you to kill him on the spot!"
"Your Majesty, he slandered the royal family and deserves death!"
"..."
Li Xuan was watching Emperor Yongyuan with a dead face outside, thinking that he should be very happy at this time.
"Silence!"
Zhao Feng got the expression of Emperor Yongyuan and immediately spoke to suppress everyone's voice.
When the county government office quieted down, Emperor Yongyuan snorted coldly:
"Hmph, Gao Yanang, you dare to slander King Zheng, you are so bold."
"Come here, take him away, and call all the people in the city for a public trial tomorrow."
"I will see if you dare to make random accusations then!"
After that, Emperor Yongyuan waved his sleeves and said to others:
"Okay, let's go."
Emperor Yongyuan left first, and Gao Yanang and others who cried out that they were wronged were also taken away by the eunuchs in flowery clothes.
Only King Zheng and a group of civil servants were left in the court, and each of them looked extremely ugly.
