Good guy!
He's such a good guy, he tells lies with his eyes open and his face doesn't even turn red.
Is this the Southwest King? The most talented person in the world?
Zhu Tai's eyelids twitched wildly.
But at this juncture, what else could he say? Say no? So what's going on with you? You've come here, you can't just go back empty-handed, right?
Are you completely tied to the other party?
But this guy is a dangerous person! My father hates him deeply, and he may not know what will happen if he gets too close to the other person.
Zhu Tai hesitated.
In my heart, I scolded all the eighteen generations of the great talent's ancestors.
But there was no choice. This was the case, so I had no choice but to risk it all. He immediately said: "Rebellion? What a big joke. These are just a group of unarmed ordinary people. To rebel in the name of the Southwest King is even more nonsense..."
This guy just denied the rebellion, but he didn't dare say that he was here under orders.
There is nothing wrong with workers' rebellion and minimizing major issues.
But the matter of pretending to spread the imperial edict, such a big pot, was naturally left to someone with thicker thighs. His small arms and legs said that he could not bear it.
However, these words are enough.
Although he did not directly acknowledge the great talent, it was considered acquiescence.
After hearing this, all the people couldn't help but show a look of hope on their faces.
Zhang Weimin looked stunned, because he didn't know about these things at all, and he had not received any news from Kyoto. His Highness never mentioned it, which made him a little unsure for a while.
However, he still said: "This is impossible. The Southwest King is...but...it is impossible for His Majesty to order him to take over Ezhou."
He originally wanted to say that the great talent was not a prince at all.
Not only that, His Majesty also hated him so much that there was no way he could send a great talent here.
However, this matter has not been made public. To this day, the court still has not denied the identity of the great talent prince. The great talent is still the fourth prince who has left the court. The court has not made it public. So naturally he cannot say this. One bad thing is that he has moved his head. , one can imagine.
If he is like this, Hua Xingwen, let alone Hua Xingwen, has a face as white as paper.
Lin Bai raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and asked: "What is it? Master Zhang, has nothing to say?"
"Then I will tell you."
"Your Majesty is sympathetic to the people of Ezhou and knows that there are officials below who are doing evil and misappropriating workers' wages. He specially ordered me and the third son to come and take over Ezhou, thoroughly investigate corruption, punish corrupt officials, and give an explanation to the people of Ezhou and Xincheng workers."
"From now on, I and Lao San will be in charge of Ezhou New City."
"As the director of the Commerce Bureau and the general commander of Ezhou New City, Ezhou New City has become like this. You cannot escape the blame."
As he spoke, the talented man looked at Hua Xingwen again, "And you, as the magistrate of Ezhou, are guilty of the same unforgivable crime. Why are you still doing it, not taking people away?"
"Those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy!"
"yes!"
A group of guards from the Southwest Palace were no longer polite and rushed forward.
Zhang Weimin and Hua Xingwen's expressions suddenly changed.
Especially the former, who shouted: "Lin Qingfeng, you deserve to die for falsely passing on the imperial edict. You are just the prince of the southwest and have no right to arrest me."
"Really!"
Lin Bai's eyes turned cold, "Then just kill him!"
What?
Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed drastically. Zhang Weimin was the director of the Commercial Bureau and a third-rank official in the imperial court. He actually said that he would kill him directly. This was simply...
Hua Xingwen's face changed drastically with fright.
Not to mention him, Zhu Tai was stunned for a moment, kill? Just kill him directly?
That was a third-grade official, and the second-ranked person at that, and he actually killed him at whatever he said?
Zhu Tai couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and he couldn't help feeling a little regretful in his heart. He felt like he was on a pirate ship, but he couldn't get off.
The guards of the Southwest Palace naturally didn't care about this. The prince had the order and they naturally obliged. They drew their long swords one after another and went straight towards Zhang Weimin.
Zhang Weimin was completely panicked, his face turned pale, and he said angrily: "Lin Qingfeng, how dare you!"
"I am a third-rank official of the imperial court..."
Unfortunately, his words had no effect at all, as the guards of the Southwest Palace had already arrived.
Zhang Weimin's face changed drastically and he roared angrily: "General Cao, Lin Qingfeng has openly rebelled, and now he wants to murder me, so why don't you take action!"
Cao Guangda was also a little confused. Naturally, he also knew the rumors about the great talent.
However, the third prince also came.
The two princes were standing there, how could he do anything?
What's more, he was directly ordered by Ezhou Magistrate Hua Xingwen, and the latter was so frightened that his face was as white as paper, he was trembling, and he couldn't care about anything.
Of course, it was too late. While the two were hesitating, the guards of the Southwest Palace had already arrived.
Several of Zhang Weimin's guards tried to stop him, but unfortunately they were too weak.
The guards of the Southwest Palace raised their swords and killed him immediately.
The remaining guards were stunned and did not dare to move.
Yan Gang was not polite and cut Zhang Weimin's throat directly with a knife. The latter's face was full of fear and despair. He covered the wound with both hands and looked at the talented man with wide eyes as if he had seen a ghost. He wanted to say something, but in the end he had no idea. Make any noise and fall straight down.
Perhaps he never dreamed that he would die like this and be so useless.
Originally, he thought that by using this opportunity to suppress the great talent and the third prince, His Highness would be sure to win, and he could also claim credit in front of His Highness, but he never thought...
It must be said that he was too naive, or perhaps underestimated the great talent.
If he hadn't saved some face for Lao Zhu, Lin Bai wouldn't have said any more nonsense and would just kill the other person before talking.
With Ezhou New City in such a state now, the death of the person in charge is too much.
Of course it wasn't too much, but if he directly killed someone, it was obviously a bit too much.
Zhu Tai's eyelids were twitching wildly.
That's a third-grade official! He was killed like this. If word of this spread back to Kyoto, he couldn't even imagine what the consequences would be.
His father would definitely be furious. Although Zhang Weimin did deserve to die, it would be his father who wanted to kill him.
Hua Xingwen was also in a panic at this time, sweating profusely on his forehead and trembling all over.
Especially when he saw the guards of the Southwest Palace walking towards him after killing Zhang Weimin, his face became even more ugly.
He couldn't help but retreat, and whispered: "Xi...King of Southwest, you...you have no evidence, so you can't arrest me..."
"evidence?"
Lin Bai snorted, "I am not here to investigate cases, but to solve problems. I will solve whoever has a problem, it's that simple."
Hua Xingwen:......
His eyelids were twitching wildly and he was sweating profusely.
However, he was luckier than Zhang Weimin. At least he was not killed directly, but was taken into custody.
The huge crowd was also silent at this time, and everyone looked at the great talent with awe.
Even Zhu Tai was no exception. He felt a little secretly afraid for no reason, because he had once fought against such a ruthless person, but he actually...
"Please make the decision for us, Your Highness Fourth Prince!"
At this time, a voice from the crowd suddenly said.
More sounds came one after another, followed by figures kneeling down. In a moment, everyone was kneeling on the dock.
