These Liangzhou soldiers came out of the birch forest.
Although they have been away from the army for a long time, don't forget that when they were in the army, they were all elites.
Although it's not as good as it was at its peak, isn't it more than enough to deal with a few bandits?
Especially with the leadership of Cheng Huailiang in the front and Li Chengqian in the back, more than ten bandit nests were wiped out in just a few days.
As the saying goes, it's none of your business.
If the stone didn't hit his feet, no one would know the pain.
At first, watching those officials being investigated and punished, Zheng Kuan was so tough.
It's because he does things so well that no one else can see it.
But now this matter falls on him, especially after the gangster nests he raised were wiped out.
He really couldn't sit still.
Zheng Kuan stepped forward, grabbed the shoulder of the boy who came to report the news, and said, "Did they find anything?"
"this……"
"That's not true."
The boy pursed his lips and said, "I'm just surprised that the King of Qin didn't suppress the bandits earlier and later, but he happened to suppress the bandits at this time. I'm afraid the person who came here is not good..."
"Definitely."
Zheng Kuan nodded and said: "This guy has never stopped since he came here. It seems that he has already set his sights on me."
The boy asked: "Sir, what are you going to do next?"
"What can be done?"
"If we panic at this time, he might seize the opportunity and kill us."
"So, the best way now is to do nothing."
Zheng Kuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Just wait and see what happens. That's what we should do most at the moment."
"But……"
"He didn't use the government soldiers this time. Those soldiers and horses didn't even know where they came from."
"Furthermore, he said that bandits would be suppressed without informing anyone. This obviously had ulterior motives."
After hesitating for a moment, the boy reminded him: "So, I think that even if they don't find anything, sir, you should be more careful next time."
"You don't need to remind me."
Zheng Kuan frowned and said, "Hurry up and help me find out what's going on at the government office."
"Yes, little man, do it now."
The boy responded and ran down quickly.
…
Within the government office.
Li Chengqian received Cheng Huailiang's reward, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
I was happy because I had wiped out many bandits and also destroyed several bandit nests raised by Zheng Kuan.
And the sadness is because of the accounts recorded on this paper.
"Every stroke recorded on this paper is a drop of blood and tears from the people of Liangzhou."
"I really don't understand. This place is already like this. How can they still be so cruel as to harm the people?"
Li Chengqian shook his head and sighed: "These people really deserve to be killed..."
"I already said they should be killed."
Yuan Yuan wiped the sword in his arms and said slowly: "So, it's not too late if you let me kill them now."
"No."
Li Chengqian raised his hand and said: "The guilty must be punished by the law, otherwise what is the use of the law?"
"What's more, these people are all officials on the surface."
"If they die, I'm afraid they will be named martyrs in the end, and they will be treated with glory after death."
"Do you think they deserve such courtesy?"
"Are they worthy of eternal praise?"
Li Chengqian sneered and said: "Even if we can't catch them all in one go, and it will take months or even years to take them down, then I will let them die in the name of infamy."
"OK."
"You are ambitious."
Yuan Yuan casually put the sword back into its sheath.
She said: "But what you said is quite reasonable."
"They are not worthy of dying as martyrs of the Tang Dynasty, and they must die for their crimes."
Yuan Yuan looked up at Li Chengqian and said, "But do you have any countermeasures?"
"not yet."
"But it's soon."
Li Chengqian raised his lips and said, "At least now I have evidence in my hand, enough to summon Zheng Kuan to confront me."
Speaking of which.
Li Chengqian directly called Wu Yougou, who was responsible for acting as a boy, and said: "Old Wu, go and bring some brothers and call Zheng Kuan for me."
"yes……"
Wu Yougou intervened.
He hesitated for a moment, then said: "Your Highness, should you invite him to come, or..."
Tie him up...
There is obviously a big gap between the two.
The reason for inviting him here is to have a good conversation with him.
If you kidnap him, you will naturally have to break up with him openly.
Wu Yougou is also a wise man.
He naturally knows the situation Li Chengqian is facing now.
Although he has a certain influence in Liangzhou, compared to local snakes like Zheng Kuan, he is still new here.
Therefore, sometimes, it is inevitable to avoid the forces behind Zheng Kuan.
However, Li Chengqian obviously didn't care about that.
He said directly: "If you can invite me over, please do so. If you can't, just tie me over."
Now, not to mention risking his life, he would at least take action against Zheng Kuan.
This guy has been causing trouble in Liangzhou for too long. If he doesn't deal with him quickly, Li Chengqian doesn't know how he will proceed next.
After all, he is interested in changing the current situation in Liangzhou.
To change the situation in Liangzhou, the first thing to do is to start with the corruption in the officialdom.
Zheng Kuan, as the history of inspections, has the power of supervision within the department. Now he is taking the lead in corruption and bribery. Naturally, he will bear the brunt of the blame.
After hearing Li Chengqian's order.
Wu Yougou didn't hesitate anymore and left the government office directly, calling his brothers to go to the Zheng Mansion with him.
Zheng Kuan has eyes and ears.
When he learned that Li Chengqian had sent people towards him.
Zheng Kuan knew that he would inevitably have a head-on contact with Li Chengqian today.
But Zheng Kuan still knew a thing or two about how powerful Li Chengqian was.
If Li Chengqian is determined to do something to him, no one can stop him.
Now, Zheng Kuan can only hope that Li Chengqian has not found much evidence, and is also wary of his identity as a local snake.
But obviously, he thought too much.
Li Chengqian doesn't care about local snakes.
Wait until Zheng Kuan arrives.
He asked with blazing eyes: "Zheng Kuan, you are so brave..."
Zheng Kuan looked up at Li Chengqian and pretended to be stupid: "Your Highness, what do you mean?"
Seeing that he was still playing dumb with him, Li Chengqian threw a letter directly at Zheng Kuan's face.
When he saw the letter in his hand, Zheng Kuan's face clearly flashed with panic.
Then, he still pretended to be confused and said to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, if you have something to do, please tell me clearly. I really can't understand what you mean."
"Can't you understand me?"
Li Chengqian smiled.
"As an inspector, you should have the power of supervision."
"But it's better for you to be the leader who knows and breaks the law, takes bribes, and oppresses the people."
"They even feed bandits and plunder private business and travel finances."
Li Chengqian looked up at Zheng Kuan and said, "Today I will let you tell yourself, what crime do you deserve?"
