Seeing this, Li Xiao was not anxious. Instead, he said calmly,"
"Continue, this king is listening."
Xu Wenjun, who had a smug look on her face, could not help but be shocked when she heard this.
He thought to himself that the current Emperor did not value this King Jiang.
However, there was a steady aura about him.
It was definitely not seen on Crown Prince Li Chengqian and Yue King Li Tai.
Not only was Xu Wenjun very familiar with Li Chengqian, but she was also betting on Li Tai.
Just like Zhangsun Wuji, he didn't want to put all his eggs in one basket.
He decided to lower his status temporarily and get some information about Li Xiao's background.
After all, this was Bingzhou, far from Chang 'an.
"Your Highness, this lowly official is indeed busy with state affairs and did not disrespect Your Highness.”
Li Xiao laughed coldly and said casually,"
"This king sees that your tone is very forced. I'm afraid there's something fishy in your heart, right?”
"This…I won't force you.”
Xu Wenjun was surprised to find that this King Jiang in front of her didn't look like a twelve-year-old teenager at all.
He clearly had a deep shrewdness and was perceptive.
His gaze was so sharp that it seemed to be able to pierce into the deepest part of the other party's heart.
Xu Wenjun had been avoiding Li Xiao's gaze, afraid that Li Xiao would see through her dirty thoughts.
Seeing Xu Wenjun suddenly show such respect to Li Xiao, Li Xiao was shocked.
Those officials who were flattering Xu Wenjun immediately became embarrassed.
Instinctively, they also observed their attitude towards Li Xiao.
A complicated smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
At this moment, a servant from the Provincial Governor's Estate ran in with his head covered in sweat.
He quickly ran to Xu Wenjun's side and whispered a few words to her. Xu Wenjun's expression immediately changed.
"I didn't know that Your Highness was ordered to manage Bingzhou. I'm guilty, please forgive me.”
After Xu Wenjun heard the servant boy's whisper, she knew that Li Xiao's trip to Bingzhou was not just a passing trip.
Instead, he had the power to control all the military, horses, money, food, generals, and civil servants in Bingzhou.
Instantly, he felt a chill in his heart.
When Li Xiao saw Xu Wenjun's expression, he found it very funny.
These people were strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
If he didn't have the authority to come this time.
It was hard to imagine how much they would neglect him.
——
It was currently the middle of summer, and this crude camp had been used to station troops to deal with the Turks a few years ago.
It was so simple that there was not even a decent house. The officials who came with Xu Wenjun.
At this moment, he could already see the change in the situation from Xu Wenjun's performance.
They were all drenched in sweat. Not only were they embarrassed, but they were also afraid.
Li Xiao saw the expressions of these people clearly. He said indifferently,"
"You treat this place as this king's encampment. One can imagine how loyal you are to the Imperial Court.”
"If this king reports to Imperial Father, I guarantee that all of you will be beheaded!”
Boom!
All of a sudden, those officials unconsciously knelt down in front of Li Xiao as if they had agreed.
It was a spectacular sight.
Kneeling was not popular in the imperial court and officialdom of the Great Tang. This was the first time they had felt a collective guilt.
The officials of Bingzhou were so respectful that even the Yulin Royal Guards who had followed Li Xiao from Chang 'an were dumbfounded.
Xu Wenjun would never have thought that the current Emperor would give such great power to a twelve-year-old prince, and that he would control them.
However, he would not doubt the true information that Zhangsun Wuji had sent to him.
Because behind Zhangsun Wuji stood the Crown Prince, Li Chengqian, the heir of the empire.
Xu Wenjun had a headache over how to handle King Jiang.
If he was too respectful, it would definitely make the Crown Prince and Zhangsun Wuji suspicious.
If he continued to be arrogant, Li Xiao might kill him.
Don't look down on him just because he was a young boy.
Seeing him today had completely changed Xu Wenjun's impression of King Jiang's weakness.
His gaze was sharp and deep. The power that surpassed the current Emperor Li Shimin, Xu Wenjun guessed in her heart.
Li Xiao slowly walked down the steps, and Xu Wenjun hurriedly bowed and retreated.
Li Xiao said coldly,"
"You officials hold high positions, but you're useless.”
"You can imagine how miserable the people of Bing Province will be.”
"Yes!"
Hu Shiwan, the commander of the Yulin Royal Guards, was already standing at the side.
On standby.
"Put all these vermin of the country in prison and investigate them carefully!”
Li Xiao's gaze was as cold as a sword, and his words were bone-chilling.
Boom!
All the officials were stunned on the spot, and their expressions instantly changed.
"Lord Provincial Governor! Save us!"
The officials looked at Xu Wenjun with sorrowful eyes.
"Your Highness, please investigate first before making a decision.”
Xu Wenjun was covered in sweat. If these officials were all locked up for investigation,
Then his corruption and money-making would be thoroughly investigated by Li Xiao.
At that time, even Crown Prince Li Chengqian would find it hard to shield him.
