Chapter 157: Father and Son(1/2)
When the people in the wing room were each intestines, they heard the waiter's voice coming from outside the door.
"Disciple, what you are looking for is this wing room. Please come in, please come in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the door of the wing was opened from outside.
"I'm sorry for you all!"
Ling Xuanyi entered the door and saw more than a dozen officials standing by the table and looking at him.
Mo Ying, who was following Ling Xuanyi, closed the door casually and glanced at the people in the room. She felt that there was no danger, so she followed Ling Xuanyi.
After the initial surprise, Wu Zhizhou quickly bowed his hand and said, "I dare not, the prince can come, but I am waiting for the face. Besides, I haven't waited for long, so the prince doesn't have to take it seriously!"
Ling Xuanyi hummed in his heart. He didn't wait long, but he just waited for a while, but he just complained to the master in disguise!
However, what Ling Xuanyi thought in his heart did not show any signs of it on his face.
"I am here for the first time to come to the country, so I would like to ask you all to help you. This time I came to Bazhou, I am hereby order to handle the mission. I hope you can help you all at that time. I must feel that this prince can return to the court as soon as possible!"
After Ling Xuanyi finished speaking, he sneered a few times. Then he sat on the chair freely, looking at the people around him, his face changed terrible.
Wu Zhizhou also smiled in his heart. If you were asked to do your job, few of you could live and enjoy wealth. If you were smart, we would be able to say anything.
If you are ignorant, don't blame us for being a bad person. Not to mention you are a little prince, even if you are a prince, I want to come here to get a share of the pie. What else, hehe-
"What the prince said is that we will do our best to help.
But today I won’t talk about official affairs. The prince first came here. We, the chief officials of Bazhou, welcomed the prince here. Today I will not be drunk and will not return!"
After Wu Zhizhou finished speaking, the officials on the side also looked at each other and picked up their wine glasses and toasted Xiang Ling Xuanyi.
Mo Yingben also wanted to check whether the wine was poisonous, but was stopped by Ling Xuanyi.
"Since you are so kind, I will not be polite to you, please!"
After saying that, Ling Xuanyi drank the wine in the glass in one go.
When Wu Zhizhou and the people present saw Ling Xuanyi like this, they also accompanied him to drink.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes.
The people in the wing room were a little drunk. Wu Zhizhou was still better, and the other officials became more and more unrestrained.
Ling Xuanyi quietly drank wine, looked at the officials in front of him with a sneer in his heart.
After another glass of wine, Wu Zhizhou put down the glass.
"Criminal, these things are not respectful. I hope that when the prince returns, he will have more beautiful words.
The prince must have seen clearly that although Bazhou is a little poor, the lives of the people are still stable. The people's customs are still simple and there are very few things happening. This time, for some reason, there were those unlucky people who sued the riots.
We are really wronged when we wait for the officials in Bazhou!"
Wu Zhizhou handed a roll of silver notes drawn from the cuff to Ling Xuanyi, then said to Ling Xuanyi with a sad face and grievance.
The other officials were a little quieter at this moment, looking at Ling Xuanyi drunk, with caution in his eyes.
And a few drunk people were already staring at Ling Xuanyi without restraint, as if they just waited for Ling Xuanyi to say no and wanted to rush forward to do something.
Ling Xuanyi smiled and stretched out his hand without saying a word, took the silver notes handed over by Wu Zhizhou, and put them in his arms without even taking a look.
Seeing this, the officials took a big breath.
Wu Zhizhou laughed even more happily and saw Ling Xuanyi accepting the 50,000 taels of silver notes he gave.
I thought I didn't have to worry now. Since I learned that the emperor sent this master to investigate what the people told me, I have not been able to sleep well for half a month.
Now, as long as the prince receives the money, he will be a person on the boat. As long as he sends some fractions from time to time in the future, I believe that the prince of Zhao County will not say much when he returns.
Bazhou is still its own world. Just wait for those who go to the imperial capital to sue back and let their subordinates deal with it quietly. This matter is considered peaceful!
Ling Xuanyi and Mo Ying returned to their temporary residence as the reception banquet ended.
"Master, why did you accept the money? Could it be to reduce the vigilance of these officials?"
Mo Ying felt that the master now was becoming less and less like before. If this happened in the past, the master would have been going to chop people up with a knife, and it would have taken these bribes with a smile.
So when he returned to his residence, Mo Ying asked impatiently.
Ling Xuanyi looked at Mo Ying's puzzled appearance and did not rush to answer. Instead, he took off his coat and put it down. He turned around and smiled at Mo Ying and the unknown Atractylodes who followed him in with him.
This smile made Mo Ying and Atractylodes even more stunned. They had never seen their master laugh before. Why is the person in front of them so different from the one they knew in the past? If it weren't for me and others following me every day.
Mo Ying and Atractylodes are simply wondering if this person is real.
"What's the point of collecting some money? Are there few corrupt officials and ink?
Besides, Miss Xi worked so hard to take care of those children a day, and if I didn’t find some repairs for her, how hard would she have to work.
OK, after returning to the imperial capital in the future, all of these silver will be left to her to take care of!"
After Ling Xuanyi finished speaking, Mo Ying and Atractylodes, who were so shocked by his words that they could not close their mouths, went to the back room to take a bath. After a banquet, they were filled with alcohol. If they didn't wash, Ling Xuanyi would not be able to sleep tonight.
Mo Ying, who was staying indoors, turned his head and asked Atractylodes: "Just, my master just now, but I said Miss Xi. Does the master want to give the money to Miss Xi?"
"Well, it seems that the master is giving Miss Xi a betrothal gift!"
“…”
The next morning, Ling Xuanyi woke up and had eaten early, and then carefully watched and pondered the information that he had not had time to read because he had drunk last night.
Looking at the situation in Bazhou that was investigated one by one, Ling Xuanyi's mood became worse and worse.
Before coming, Ling Xuanyi had already had some predictions about the situation in Bazhou. But what he never expected was that when he actually arrived here, he had the information of the investigation by the Weiwei in advance.
It was far worse than what I expected. It was not just indulging my relatives to insult my relatives in misleading the law. It was simply a resentment from heaven and others.
Killing people is considered very common. What’s hateful is that the tribe members of Wu Zhizhou are simply comparable to beasts, and even worse than beasts.
Ling Xuanyi looked at the report coming from below and the Meitouzhou became tighter and tighter.
"Master... If it lasts for a long time, this Bazhou will change sooner or later.
The Wu clan's behavior was too harmful to the truth, and the other officials were sitting there and watching, and even some even participated.
My subordinates really don’t know how the people of Bazhou survived and survived!”
Mo Ying, who was also watching the information on the side, said angrily. Atractylodes had already been hammering the case beside him, claiming that he would tear Wu Zhizhou's family alive!
Keep people in a captive pen, let people eat and live with the beast. They hold a public banquet, and wantonly arrest the wives and daughters of ordinary people for their fun. Even after killing the people, they chop them up...hang them in the mansion for the hunting dog to bite!
Wait, wait, this kind of behavior is simply something that humans can do.
Ling Xuanyi gently put down the information in his hand, stood up and kept paced in the house. He analyzed all the current situation and guessed how the reaction would be if Wu and his men took the action, and the rest of the officials involved in Bazhou would be.
And how much resistance they will take, and what they can rely on.
"By the way! Why didn't I see the military officers of Bazhou at the banquet yesterday? Mo Ying immediately ordered and find out how many military officers of Bazhou are also the governors as soon as possible. Also, where is the general of Bazhou!"
Mo Ying hurriedly went down to arrange for people to start activities everywhere and collect new information Ling Xuanyi wanted.
Although Ling Xuanyi hated the things that the officials in Bazhou did in his heart, he was not blinded by it and did unwise things.
First, we must find out the situation in Bazhou in more detail before we can better solve it. In particular, in both military and political aspects, we must find out whether it is also a party.
If you act recklessly and are killed by civil and military officials in Bazhou, that would be a joke in the world!
Ling Xuanyi was cautious in Bazhou and prepared to clean up these scumbags and beasts step by step.
In the palace of the imperial capital, the Emperor of Western Qin also took his desk to deal with government affairs.
"Your Majesty, the prince is here!"
When the Western Qin Emperor Ling Qian heard this, he stopped the cinnabar pen in his hand. He raised his head and signaled the eunuch to tell the eunuch that Prince Ling Han entered the hall.
"My son bows to my father, my father, and I'm ten thousand—"
"Okay!"
"Yes, thank you Father!"
Ling Qian, who was still busy dealing with emergency government affairs, stopped the prince's bowing ceremony and ignored the prince.
Seeing this, Ling Han had to stand cautiously and wait patiently for his father to deal with government affairs first.
In the quiet hall, there was no noise except for the sound of the Western Qin Emperor rising from time to time and frowning and then continuing to write at his desk.
After two incense sticks, Ling Qian stopped a little. Put down the red pen in his hand and looked at Ling Han who was standing below.
"My son has done a great thing!
But I don’t know how much my son knows about the good things he has done in the court?”
Ling Han was shocked when he was asked like this.
"Father, son, son, son, I don't quite understand what the father's question is!"
"Hmph! Don't understand?
OK—then let me tell you.”
The Western Qin Emperor Ling Qian slowly stood up and walked down from the dragon throne.
When he came to Prince Ling Han, he stared at his son carefully for a while, and then he snorted slightly and turned his back to Ling Han.
To be continued...
