Chapter 537 The magistrate and the governor (1)

With such concern, Ji Wuyou came to the guards of the city gate with swords and spears. Because of his guilt, he didn't even dare to look at them directly. Fortunately, there were several other people around him. Seeing the soldiers looking at him with some confusion, he quickly handed over all the certificates he had prepared, and at the same time, he handed over one or two pieces of scattered silver.

With money in the way, I saw that they had no other luggage except for their bags, so the guards did not conduct any more inspections. They just flipped through the few places and waved their hands: "Go over."

"Thank you... Thank you Junjun." Ji Wuyou felt relieved and quickly thanked him. He hurriedly followed the people out of the city gate until he was a long distance away from the city gate. Then he let out a long sigh, and then asked in a low voice uneasy: "Uncle Huang... Elder Di and others really had something to do?"

"The brothers who escaped said they were ambushed by the government, and the elder was in a worrying situation." Seeing Ji Wuyou's face was confused, he quickly added, "But the elder has always been resourceful. Perhaps this trouble has long been under his plan, so it should not be a problem. Young Master, what we have to do now is to leave Jiangnan first and go somewhere else to take his plan!"

"Has everything we have done here really finished?" Ji Wuyou said in a low mood.

"It may not be possible, things will turn around. But for the sake of your safety, it is better not to participate in the next thing. Especially that Li..." He said this, and was interrupted by the cough of another person next to him. Then he remembered something and said hurriedly, "Young Master waited for a moment, and I'll go find a carriage."

Because of his concern, Ji Wuyou didn't pay attention to what he meant, so he just nodded: "Then make arrangements quickly, the sooner he left here, the better." As a young man who has not yet fully accepted his new identity, once Zhao Chenghuang is lost, he is really at a loss.

When they drove away from Jinling along the official road, Ji Wuyou suddenly had a strange thought in his mind. He suddenly poked his head out of the car window, looked at the far away Jinling City, and said softly: "One day, I will definitely come back! As the leader of Luo Tian, ​​come back!"

...

In Jinling City, the Governor's Office.

After entering the second hall, Li Ling and the others saw the governor Wen Ming bringing a group of subordinates to greet him with a smile. When they walked closer, they grabbed his hand and shook it hard: "Mr. Li, you have made great contributions to the removal of thieves in Jiangnan this time. As the governor of Jiangnan, I must thank you on behalf of the government and the people." As he said that, he let go and wanted to salute.

At the same time, the officials around him praised and wanted to salute Li Ling. This action shocked Yang Qingxiao. She originally thought that she would scold her after meeting her, but now she couldn't even say a harsh word.

Li Ling was stunned at first, and then understood something. He immediately smiled and stepped forward and supported Wen Ming: "Master Futai, what are you doing? Are you going to destroy the officials? What kind of virtue is the subordinate? How dare you accept your worship... Since the subordinate is a local official in Jiangnan, helping you eliminate the thieves in Luotian Sect is a matter of duty, and I really can't bear such a great gift." As he spoke, he helped him with force and finally straightened the person.

Seeing Li Ling as such a good way, Wen Ming's smile became even stronger, and he laughed: "Mr. Li is really young and promising. I am willing to pay attention to the court. With you, I will feel relieved. Come, everyone will come in and talk with me. This time we have eliminated a group of great troubles for the court. I heard that the two elders of the Luotian Sect died in this battle, which is a great victory that has not been seen in many years."

This revelation attracted a lot of praise from others, and then he followed the news and the governor into the hall. After sitting down, he praised each other again. Of course, they did not forget Li Ling, the "major" who was "a great hero" in this incident. They all said that he was loyal to national affairs and took risks to himself, and was really a role model for court officials.

After the happy event was said, everyone turned the focus of the topic to condemning Brahma. Everyone said that he was cunning and insidious, and almost hid them. Fortunately, the governor was wise enough and his eyes were like a torch, so he dug out and cut off the elder Luotian Cult who was hidden very deeply. It was a blessing for the court and a blessing for Jiangnan.

Then, the governor conveyed some of the subsequent arrangements to these subordinates, such as how to control the army after Xiang Brahma's death and conduct a cross-examination to prevent Xiang's remnants; for example, it was time to ask more secrets from the Luotian scholars who were captured alive as soon as possible, and find out the other thieves hidden in the city...

Whether Wen Ming or many of his officials had absolute experience in these matters, they were arranged one by one at this moment, orderly. In just half an hour, all the follow-up matters were implemented. Then, as Governor Wen brought a cup of tea, everyone stood up and left with consciously.

In the end, only Li Ling and Yang Qingxiao were left in the hall and sat there with Governor Wen. This made him frown slightly and he smiled and said, "Mr. Li has worked hard this time, so I'd better go to the inn to rest quickly. If you have any trouble, I will invite you again."

He wanted to expose the matter lightly, which made Li Ling's eyes flash, and then shook his head slightly at Yang Qingxiao, who was also angry, and then said with a smile: "Although I've been tired all night, I can still withstand it. But if I don't say some words, I'm worried that it will bring you a lot of troubles to Lord Futai."

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Feeling that Li Ling's tone was not so respectful, Wen Ming's smile slowly calmed down and his eyes gradually became cold.

Of course he knew that Li Ling was angry, but as a boss and as the governor of Jiangnan, everything was put in the overall situation first, so it was naturally impossible to care about the joys and anger of a small county magistrate. He had already given enough face to this young man and promised to ask him for credit. When he thought about it, Li Ling was just a little scared and was not really good at it. Could it be that he really wanted to let himself put aside his pride and apologize to him?

Joke! Don’t say that Li Ling is here now, even if he really dies because of this, it is natural for him, an imperial official to die to kill the thief. As a governor, do you still need to apologize to him?

Thinking of this, Wen Ming smiled and said without a smile: "Oh? What does your words mean by Li County Magistrate? Why can't I understand?"

"It's important to be serious. Please ask the lord to take his left and right away so that the officials can tell the truth." Li Ling looked at the servants in the hall and said with a smile.

Wen Ming was not afraid that he would dare to attack him, so he nodded: "You guys go out."

When there were only three of them in the hall, Li Ling was no longer polite and stared at Wen Ming: "Master Futai, so yesterday you suddenly took me down just to use me as bait to lure out the Luotian Sect's people?"

"That's right, after all, you, County Magistrate Li, have formed a deep hatred with them. As long as you have a chance, they will naturally not let you go." Wen Ming was calm and nodded to admit it.

"Sir, I knew there was something wrong with Xiang Fantian?" Li Ling asked again. Judging from the results, the fact that he could easily steal himself from the governor's yamen must be because Xiang Fantian, a high-ranking official who was only under Wen Ming, took action.

"Before this, I just had some doubts and no evidence. However, I knew one thing long before the chaos in Jiangnan began, that is, I have the Luotian Sect who wanted people around me. Their real purpose is to take advantage of this chaos to control military power, which will cause greater chaos.

"It is precisely because of this that I insisted on refusing to send troops to quell the rebellion. Fortunately, the troops of various governments moved in time, especially if you, Li Ling, could hold up tens of thousands of rebels with the power of a county, so that the rebellion in Jiangnan could be quickly calmed down. This is exactly the confidence that I believe that using you as bait can catch the deepest hidden leader Luo Tian. It's a pity that you are still too reckless in your behavior. You actually killed Xiang Fantian and another leader of the Luo Tian Sect. Do you know that keeping them alive can allow me to get many valuable clues from them, and even use this opportunity to uproot the Luo Tian Sect! Hum?"

Okay, he actually took action and turned his back. Li Ling hadn't blamed him for using him yet, so he had to pursue Li Ling and the others' fault for killing people first.

This made Yang Qingxiao very annoyed: "According to what you said, we should die there just to keep people alive?" As he said that, his wrists shook and the moon was about to fly out.

Fortunately, Li Ling quickly pulled her and stopped this reckless behavior, but his tone was extremely bad: "Governor Wen, you have thought that in addition to killing them and catching them, there is actually another possibility, that is, to be escaped by them! If you just want to capture them alive and bind your hands and feet, let us not ignore the life and death of our people for the time being, what should we do if we let them escape? Or do you just want them to escape?" It seems that no one can do it.

Bang! The governor was furious, slapped the coffee table and shouted: "Bold! Li Ling, are you suspicious of this official?"

Faced with his strong pressure, Li Ling did not retreat at all, but stood up, took a step forward, and looked at him: "So what? After all, I have reason to doubt that the chaos in Jiangnan could have been quelled faster, but because of your inaction by the governor, many people suffered great disasters!"

After a pause, he snorted again: "Also, you said you used me as bait to attract the thieves of Luotian Sect to appear. Although the result is indeed the case, I can still suspect that there is something else in this matter. You deliberately gave me to them, but after that, the trouble broke out, which forced you to abandon the car to protect the coach! Because, from beginning to end, I never knew this plan, who knew what you were thinking!"

It was not until this moment that Governor Wen understood what Li Ling cares most about, which made his face darker, and he sneered: "I said that this matter is of great importance, so of course it is not something you, a small county magistrate, can you afford it if the news is leaked and the thief escapes, can you afford the consequences?"
