Chapter 911 Spearhead

The noise here became loud and soon attracted the attention of others. Many people rushed here. Originally, they were just watching the fun, but when they learned the reason, the resentment in the hearts of the people of Caozhou was immediately ignited one by one. They gathered together and shouted the name of Xie Zhicheng, the governor of Caozhou. Many people even cursed at him and told Xie Zhicheng's crimes.

At this time, Chen De also led hundreds of personal soldiers to the scene. He and Wang Xiao looked at each other, and neither side did not move rashly.

Li Xun looked at Xie Zhicheng and said sarcastically: "Mr. Xie's official voice in Caozhou is quite loud!"

Xie Zhicheng's face turned red: "Li Xiangguo must not listen to the nonsense of these troublemakers. I, Xie, have always been doing things that are upright and have never done anything unkind or unjust."

Li Xun smiled, pointed to the many people below, and said indifferently: "So many people are all unruly people? Everyone is silent. What do you think, Lord Xie?"

Xie Zhicheng had nothing to say. Facing the strange gazes of everyone, he felt extremely ashamed and angry. He immediately walked to the edge of the corridor and shouted at Wang Xiao below: "What are you still standing there for? Immediately disperse these troublemakers. Whoever dares to refuse to obey will arrest me."

Faced with Xie Zhicheng's insults, Wang Xiao looked ugly. He was about to order the soldiers to suppress the people. Chen De, who was beside him, said at this time: "General Wang, I advise you not to do anything randomly, but there are many adults watching it."

Wang Xiao said with a dark face: "If this continues, it may cause even greater riots. How can I sit back and see?"

Chen De chuckled and said, "You have also seen that the people are just cursing there, but they have not done anything extreme. If you have such preconceived ideas, wouldn't you imitate the procedure?"

This is an allusion. In the early years of Pingzong, there was a local governor called Zhi. He was unkind and greedy. The people hated him to the core. Once he opened a court judgment, accepted bribes, wrongly accused good people, and tortured confessions, resulting in good people being beaten to death on the spot. This move immediately aroused great dissatisfaction and anger among the onlookers, and they cursed him. Zhi thought these people were going to harm him, so he ordered the yamen runners to suppress him, which eventually led to a major riot and hundreds of people being killed.

This incident alarmed the central government. The court sent several groups of officials to investigate, but all of them were found to be untrue. The officials protected each other and left nothing. In the end, the public was so angry that tens of thousands of people gathered to Beijing to file a complaint, causing great trouble. This finally alarmed Emperor Pingzong. Pingzong immediately assigned a prime minister and went to the place to investigate in person, and finally found out the truth.

After knowing the reason, Emperor Pingzong was furious, cut off the procedure and sealed the whole family.

After this incident, Emperor Pingzong issued a special imperial edict, urging the local government that the riots did not officially occur, and the people gathered more than 1,000 people, and the local garrisons were not allowed to act rashly. Those who violated the order shall be severely punished.

Chen De said again: "General Wang, you are a smart person. You shouldn't come here today. Since you are here, let's take a look at the scenery. Don't do things that you can't bear, otherwise it will harm yourself and implicate your brothers."

"General, the people are scolding Xie Zhicheng, what does it have to do with us?"

The deputy general whispered.

Wang Xiao looked at Chen De, and finally remained silent without any action. He obviously agreed to Chen De's suggestion.

Seeing that Wang Xiao dared not listen to him, Xie Zhicheng was furious and roared: "Wang Xiao, you bastard, I can't avoid you, please wait for me."

"Enough."

Li Xun interrupted Xie Zhicheng's shouting and looked at him coldly: "Man is doing, God is watching, you know what you have done yourself."

Xie Zhicheng said with a hard neck: "I did nothing. Even if you are a prime minister, you cannot speak nonsense and slander my reputation."

Do you still have a reputation? It's a huge joke.

Li Xun sneered, pushed Xie Zhicheng away, returned to his seat, and said to everyone: "The things outside have nothing to do with you, so let's take care of yourself first, and sit back for me now."

When everyone heard this, they stopped watching the fun, so they all sat back.

Li Xun took out a stack of letters from his arms, put them on the table, and then said to Xie Zhicheng: "Mr. Xie knows what this is?"

Xie Zhicheng glanced at the table, and it was a little far apart, so he couldn't see clearly, so he frowned and said, "Li Xiangguo, just say anything if you have anything to say, there is no need to play a puzzle there."

Xie Zhicheng is in an extremely bad mood now and has no patience.

Li Xun said indifferently: "This is your letter to Matthew. I won't say it, I must be very clear about it."

Hearing this, Xie Zhicheng's face changed drastically and he stammered: "I...I don't know any Matthew...I don't know anything."

The others looked at Xie Zhicheng with a strange look on their faces at this moment. Matthew is the constable leader of the Caozhou Governor's Office. How could you not know him?

Xie Zhicheng lost his composure because the matter came too suddenly. He never expected that Li Xun's main spearhead was actually against him at the Hongmen Banquet today.

Li Xun pointed to the adults opposite and said indifferently: "Take the letter over and let them all see it."

"Yes, sir."

A personal soldier picked up the letter and walked over there.

Xie Zhicheng stood up and said loudly: "Li Xun, everyone is their own people, why do you have to bully others too much? If you ruin me, someone in the court will not let you go."

"You said we are our own people, it's a huge joke."

Li Xun laughed twice, then slapped the table suddenly and said coldly: "You are not as good as a beast, you are a person who is conscientious. Are you and I ours? If you look at you more, I feel dirty. You dare to threaten me. You are simply ignorant. Sit down and dare to speak loudly. I will kill you now."

Xie Zhicheng looked resentful: "Li Xun...you..."

"Shut up and sit down."

Bi Xiangzu drew out his sharp sword, stepped forward two steps, and looked at Xie Zhicheng coldly with murderous intent.

Xie Zhicheng looked at Bi Xiangzu, then looked at Li Xun again, gritted his teeth, it was worth shutting his mouth and sitting down.

At this time, everyone watched and looked at the stack of letters.
