Li Ke turned over and dismounted, and held his hands in front of the waiting people.
His face was very unhappy, and he yelled at Li Bingdao: "Commander Li, what are you doing?"
"I came to Longxi this time for inspection and supervision, not for fun. How will the common people view me by putting on such a big battle?" M.biQuge.biZ
Li Bingdao bowed depressedly and said: "Your Highness, I am guilty."
"Well, there's no next time."
"yes!"
Everyone: "..."
Li Ke raised his hands to the waiting crowd and said with an amiable smile: "Thank you for your hard work. I'm really sorry for waiting for this king for so long."
"There was an accident on the road. A group of rebels wanted to ambush me, but I killed them by the way."
"The security in Longxi is really bad..."
Li Jingren quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Li Jingren, a common man, pays homage to His Highness the King of Shu."
"Are you... the magistrate of Didao County?" Li Ke asked with an exaggerated frown.
Li Jingren cursed in his heart, "I have made it very clear to you that this is Li Jingren, a common man."
"No, the common man is Li Jingren, the head of the Li family in Longxi."
"oh!"
"It turns out that you are Li Jingren, the current head of the Li family in Longxi. I heard from Grandpa Huang that you and he are of the same generation, so I have to call you Aweng."
"Don't dare!"
"Aweng, why do you dare to do this? Filial piety comes first. You are the head of the Li family, and you are the same generation as Grandpa Huang. The younger generation should call you Aweng."
"By the way, where are the magistrates and lieutenants of Didao County? Why don't you come to see me?"
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I have been wronged..." When the county captain saw the King of Shu coming, this was his only life-saving straw, and he immediately struggled and shouted.
Li Ke frowned and looked at Li Bingdao. Li Bingdao whispered: "Your Highness, the weapon used by the murderer who ambushed Your Highness was the new weapon sent to Didao County this time, and this person received it. "
"The crime is extremely heinous, it is simply an extremely heinous act. This is an act of treason. Commander Li, please bring this person to the king for interrogation. All relevant persons will be punished as treason and collaboration with the enemy." Li Ke roared angrily.
Li Jingren's heart thumped, something bad has happened!
The King of Shu was determined to convict him of being a traitor to the enemy!
Interrogation is nonsense, even if it was the county captain who did it, the crime would have to be placed on his head.
Then Li Ke said sadly: "It seems that Didao County is in a terrible state. From now on, Commander Li will take military control of Didao County and let me investigate this matter thoroughly."
"Anyone who resists or refuses to obey orders will be killed without mercy."
"In troubled times, we should use important codes!"
"yes!"
Li Bingdao immediately accepted the order and ordered to all the cavalry behind him: "Everyone, follow my commander into the city and military control of Didao County. Anyone who resists or disobeys orders will be killed without mercy..."
All the officials and gentry in Didao County have their legs constantly working.
It's over. Once a thorough investigation is conducted, who's bottom is clean? The King of Shu will make it clear. Even if you are not guilty, he will have to create a piece of evidence for you. He will completely change the world in Didao County!
"We welcome the little Heavenly Master!"
Taoism was represented by two Taoists in purple, followed by a group of Taoists, who slowly came forward and performed Taoist etiquette.
Seeing this, Li Ke just nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work!"
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
"What? Little Heavenly Master..."
"Your Highness is actually a Taoist little heavenly master. Damn it..."
"No wonder, no wonder all the Taoist priests came down the mountain!"
Li Jingren took a breath. He originally thought that the Taoist family just took refuge in Li Ke, but he didn't expect that the Taoist family belonged to Li Ke.
The two masters in purple robes stepped aside after seeing Li Ke.
Buddhist Zen Master Huiren came forward with two masters and clasped his hands: "Amitabha, Lao Na Huiren, I have met His Highness the King of Shu. If His Highness has anything to do, just ask him. Lao Na has brought a thousand Shaolin Temple monk soldiers this time."
"Fight for the country, regardless of profession."
Li Ke returned the courtesy and said with a smile: "The old Zen master is still knowledgeable and broad-minded."
Li Ke looked at Li Jingren and said with a smile: "Aweng, look at it, the old Zen master has become a Buddhist, and he still doesn't forget to serve the court. This kind of quality makes me admire him. This is the Buddhist of the Tang Dynasty. ah!"
"Hey, some people, enjoying the benefits brought to them by the Tang Dynasty, always turn their elbows outward, which is really hateful..."
Li Jingren: "..."
"Cui Ming, the head of the Cui family in Qinghe, a grass-roots citizen, pays homage to His Highness the King of Shu."
"Hahaha, Master Cui, I have seen you for a long time. I heard that you have come to this barren land in the northwest to wait for me. This makes me feel very sorry..."
"Your Highness, the common people and their family are enjoying the benefits brought by the Tang Dynasty. How can we stand idly by when the Tang Dynasty is in danger? Our Cui family is committed to the interests of the country."
"Besides, if His Highness can come here, ordinary people can naturally come."
Cui Ming heard the shameless praise from the old Zen Master Huiren, and immediately learned the essence and started talking endlessly.
"You are a Taoist little heavenly master, and Cao Min's brother is also a member of your Taoist family. In this way, our family is one family."
Damn it!
Didn't you see that Cui Ming is so shameless, how can this be so close?
They don't know the virtues of the Qinghe Cui family. They say they are the most wealthy family in Shandong, but in fact they got it by speculating and being a mere wallflower.
"Master Cui, let's go to the county and chat slowly. There are people waiting behind us!" Li Ke couldn't listen anymore. Cui Ming was too good at boasting.
"Gu Jianwen, the Gu family of Wu, represents the merchants of Wu and has met His Highness."
Gu Jianwen was serious and didn't seem to like flattery. He was a down-to-earth person. When he saw Li Ke, he was a little uneasy.
Then there were wealthy merchants from Sichuan, Sichuan, and Guanzhong, who came forward one by one to meet Li Ke.
"Thank you for your hard work. When we get to the county, tonight, I will personally entertain you all."
"I came to Longxi this time to do two things. First, I inspected Longyou Road to rectify the chaos in the officialdom and appease the people."
"Second, supervise the battle..."
"But in addition to these two official matters, there is also a private matter, which is the establishment of the Longyou Road Chamber of Commerce."
Everyone present heard that the King of Shu was going to establish a chamber of commerce in Longyou Road, and they immediately said in their hearts that this time was not in vain. If any chamber of commerce led by the King of Shu follows Pigou, they will definitely be able to eat with their mouths full of oil. .
Only the Longxi nobles wailed in their hearts. The King of Shu established the Longyou Road Chamber of Commerce. If he did not bring them with him, they would have no choice but to drink from the northwest wind.
At the same time, they had already made the decision to betray the Li family in Longxi.
At the scene, Li Jingren listened to Li Ke's talk and saw the smiles on everyone's faces. He had already seen the tragic scene of the Li family in Longxi in the future.
"Huhuhu..."
Li Jingren's breathing was rapid and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Finally, he moved with difficulty and looked at Li Ke. As soon as his legs weakened, he was about to kneel down in front of Li Ke: "Your Highness..."
But Li Ke supported Li Jingren and said with a smile: "Aweng, your legs are weak after standing for a long time. Let's go into the city now. We will pay homage to our ancestors first and then talk about business!"
"Your Highness, I, the Li family of Longxi, are at fault..."
"Please, Your Highness, for the sake of your fellow clan members, please forgive me, the Li clan of Longxi, for my sins. I am willing to give up my position as clan leader..."
Seeing this, Li Ke helped Li Jingren up and asked solemnly: "Aweng, what are you doing?"
"Get up quickly!"
"I'm guilty, I'm sorry for your Majesty, I'm sorry for the court, and I'm sorry for my ancestors!"
"I'm old and stupid, please punish me, Your Highness."
Li Ke: "..."
I thought this old man would continue to be stubborn, but he didn't expect to give up so quickly. Why doesn't this give him any sense of accomplishment?
Father, didn't he say that the Li family in Longxi had occupied Longxi for hundreds of years and managed it like an iron wall, so he had to be careful and careful.
He was so scared that he had been arranging it for so long and moved out all the people and forces that could be used behind it.
Finally, when we arrived in Longxi, well, I overestimated it!
If you are a human being, you will have weaknesses. If you grasp his weaknesses, you will not be convinced or convinced.
Li Ke looked at Li Ping, who was kneeling in the distance. He was afraid that this was one of Li Jingren's weaknesses.
"Aweng, let's go into the city and talk about this matter when we get to the house..."
Li Ke turned around and walked towards his sweaty horse, then got on his horse and walked towards Didao County Minister.
The people who were there to greet him also got into their own carriages and followed behind.
Li Jingren stood there stunned for a long time and sighed. He didn't know whether His Highness accepted it or not.
Li Ping was not captured by Li Ke, but only took away the county captain.
"Father, what should we do now?"
"Let's go, go to the city first, and let's see how the King of Shu handles it."
"Lao Gou, tell all the disciples in the family that I am ready to compromise..."
After Li Jingren said these words, he suddenly seemed to be deflated. His whole body had aged several years and his body became rickety.
From today on, the Longxi Li family, which has stood in Longxi for hundreds of years, will probably become history, and will be replaced by the Li family of the royal family.
Didao County has now been taken over by Li Bingdao. All officials in the county are on standby at the county government office, and important departments are all from the military.
The city gate is also closed from now on.
Li Bingdao had already begun to interrogate the county captain, using the county captain as bait, pulling out carrots and digging holes, arresting people and ransacking their homes.
