Fang Qian's face turned pale, and his lips trembled uncontrollably. After learning that Li Hao had brought back some of the villagers of Great Willow Village, he finally understood why Di Renjie had questioned him so directly. It turned out that he had already come into contact with those rebels!
Thinking back to his " silencing operation " last night, which had caused such a huge commotion, it was inevitable that there were some mistakes. Now, it seemed that it was useless!
In an instant, all kinds of distracting thoughts flashed through his mind. Being stared at by Di Renjie, Fang Qian's forehead began to drip with water, and his back was sweating crazily. This guy might really have kidney deficiency.
His heart was extremely nervous, but on the surface, he acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He said stubbornly,"This humble servant has a clear conscience. Why wouldn't I dare?”
"Hmph!" Di Renjie sneered and stood up.""I want to see if you, the Provincial Governor of Youzhou, are as honest as you claim!”
"Men, go to the hall. This pavilion wants to personally interrogate the case!”
Looking at Di Renjie's back, Fang Qian wiped the sweat off his forehead, gritted his teeth, and followed him.
......
The sun was setting in the west and had already passed its hottest stage. In the hall, a few bailiffs stood solemnly, but the atmosphere in the hall was slightly strange.
The person kneeling in the hall was the old man, Zhang Laosi. He was trembling as he kowtowed and shouted,"What this lowly one said before was all lies to deceive Milord. The government didn't swallow the money and occupy the people's fields."
The smile on Di Renjie's face froze. He looked at the " honest " farmer in surprise. He slapped the gavel and asked several times, but he still gave the same answer.
Slowly, the hall quieted down. Di Renjie subconsciously glanced at Fang Qian and Wu Yizhi who were standing at the side of the hall.
Fang Qian heaved a sigh of relief, but Di Renjie also noticed the slight surprise on his face.
Staring at Zhang Laosi, who was kneeling in the hall, Di Renjie knew that something must have gone wrong.
"How dare you, Zhang Laosi, play tricks in front of the Lord in the court! Tell me the truth!" At this moment, it was Li Yuan Fang who stepped forward and berated sternly.
His eyes could not be rubbed with sand. He was very disgusted with the changes in Zhang Laosi.
Being shouted at by Li Yuan Fang, Zhang Lao Si was also anxious. He had witnessed Li Yuan Fang's "divine might" before.
From the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Hu Jinghui who had just stepped into the hall. He shrunk his neck and kowtowed fiercely."What I said last time was all nonsense! This is the truth!"
"You!" Li Yuan Fang took a step forward and was about to make things difficult.
After being stopped by Di Renjie, he had already returned to normal and was not angry. He said to Zhang Laosi indifferently,"This pavilion will not force you. Today, the trial will end here.”
"Elder, just as I said, you have been deceived by those villains!”At this time, Fang Qian actually still dared to step forward and boast shamelessly.
The smugness in his expression was laughable. Di Renjie stood up with a smile and looked at Fang Qian.""That Zhang Laosi didn't know my identity before, so why did he lie to me? This matter, this pavilion will definitely get to the bottom of it!”
"Sir, please do as you please. This lowly official still has the same words, my conscience is clear!”Fang Qian raised his head.
"What a clear conscience!" Di Renjie laughed.
Li Hao leaned against the door of the hall and took in the situation in the hall. The focus was on Hu Jinghui. He frowned, as if he was wondering why Zhang Laosi suddenly turned against him.
Li Hao sighed in his heart. This guy's acting was actually so good. If Li Hao didn't know his identity, he would never have thought that he was the one who directed this situation.
Regarding this matter, Li Hao had some impression of it. That Zhang Laosi seemed to be the one who went back on his word after Hu Jinghui threatened him.
Just now, when he was preparing to ascend the hall, he was chatting with Li Yuanfang when Hu Jinghui seemed to have gone to the class room.
In order to help Fang Qian clean up his mess, he revealed the biggest flaw. Li Hao really didn't understand what Hu Jinghui was thinking.
"General!" At this moment, a guard ran to Li Hao and whispered into his ear.
Raising his eyebrows, Li Hao walked directly to the hall and interrupted Di Renjie, who was still "scheming" against Fang Qian.""Milord, the guards of the deposed envoy, the Thousand Bull Guards, have arrived at the state capital!”
......
The arrival of the demotion envoy's guards completely solved Di Renjie's predicament and gave him more confidence.
The guards and soldiers, together with the thousand-bull guards sent by the emperor, numbered more than a thousand people. They were all elites among elites.
Throughout the day and night, he basically only had Hu Jinghui, Li Hao, and a dozen of his personal guards by his side. Although he had " tricked " Fang Qian, there was still a hidden worry. Fang Qian's control over Youzhou was truly frightening.
With a large number of guards stationed in the Grand Governor's Office, Li Hao's subordinates were naturally " ostracized " and were somewhat unhappy. Li Haoshan comforted them.
The Governor's Mansion was a compound that had been vacated in a hurry. It occupied quite a large area. As Li Hao walked through the mansion, he saw guards coming and going. It was a busy scene.
A few guards and officers were arranged to guard the various courtyards and halls in the residence.
As expected of the guards from Fairy's Capital. Other than their gorgeous armor, each of them had a sense of superiority.
In the main hall, Di Renjie was receiving the subordinate officials of the demotion envoy. He encouraged them with a few words and dismissed them.
When Li Hao arrived, he saw a clever manservant standing beside Di Renjie with a smile on his face. He called out," Master." This should be Di Chun.
Upon seeing Li Hao, Di Renjie smiled and waved at him. Then, he instructed Di Chun,""Di Chun, withdraw some money from the treasury and give it to General Li!”
"Yes, sir!"
He said gently to Li Hao," Your soldiers have worked hard these past two days. Take this small fortune as my gift of thanks. Let the soldiers have a good rest!"”
"Thank you, sir!" Li Hao cupped his hands and bowed. He sighed in his heart. Fatty Di was really thoughtful. He actually cared about the feelings of his soldiers…
