Chapter 241 Second Uncle
"Here!" Hearing Li Yan's order, the escort in the royal palace in the hall agreed and came up to capture the people pointed out by Li Yan. However, those who dared to show dissatisfaction with Li Yan were naturally brave and reckless, so they were not willing to surrender, and even dared to attack the escort. Unfortunately, they could follow Li Yan's escort closely, so they would not be ordinary people, so they knocked the rebels to the ground in a few moves.
However, two smarter ones turned around and rushed towards Li Yan, as if they wanted to control him, the King of Qi, and then ask for escape. Unfortunately, their wishful thinking could not be made at all. Before they could reach Li Yan's ten steps, they saw two bowstrings sounds behind Li Yan, and then two lightning-like arrows flew out, hitting the foreheads of both of them.
"Puu~" The two corpses fell to the ground almost at the same time, and the others in the hall were still stunned by the accident in the hall. Li Yan's eyes suddenly turned to the few people who were restrained by the guards, and a word was gently spit out: "Chun!"
"No!" As soon as Li Yan's order came out, several guards pulled out their horizontal swords from their waists almost at the same time, held them high above their heads and slashed them hard. For a moment, blood splattered in the hall, and dark red blood spurted out, dyeing the terrazzo floor in the hall with blood stains.
"Drag out!" Li Yan looked at the people in the hall with different heads and waved his hand and ordered coldly. However, everyone was not paying attention. As he spoke, a few unbearable expressions flashed in his eyes.
Liu Qiu is the most critical part of the plan. He will never allow any mistakes here and must be controlled 100% in his own hands. However, Liu Qiu is different from the mainland. A considerable number of residents here are pirates who do business without foundation. For people like them, there is no faith in them. Only by first showing their power with bloody means and establishing their own iron and ruthless image in their hearts, so that their political orders in the future can be better conveyed.
Besides, the people who were killed know their identities and still have the courage to show disrespect. They must be those arrogant and arrogant people, and they don’t even have much brain. After all, as long as someone with a little brain is not convinced in his heart, they will not show it on the surface. Such people are the most uneasy factor no matter when they are at any time. Instead of putting them beside them, they might as well kill them all, and they can use their blood to scare the people present, so don’t blame me for being ruthless!
Everyone in the hall was frightened by Li Yan's iron-blooded methods, and they all looked at the young King of Qi with awe. They really didn't expect that they were originally accommodating each other today, but they didn't expect that someone would throw their lives here. Lu Qing was also a little surprised about the changes in the hall, but he quickly understood Li Yan's intention, so he never dared to dissuade him.
After dealing with the person who dared to be disrespectful to him, the murderous aura on Li Yan's face still did not fade away. He turned his head and ordered Lu Qing: "Lu Qing, I will give you two thousand guards from the royal palace. From now on, I will closely monitor the original forces of the killed people. If anyone dares to make any changes, slaughter!"
Li Yan's word "slaughter" made everyone in the hall silent. They all lowered their heads, and they didn't even dare to look at Li Yan again. No matter whether they were really convinced when Li Yan was warned just now, everyone has labeled Li Yan as a demon in their hearts, temporarily putting all their thoughts away, and planning to be honest as Shunmin for a while.
Lu Qing naturally did not dare to disobey Li Yan's orders, so he nodded immediately to accept the order. The so-called kindness and power are used together, and he naturally had to give kindness after power. Li Yan changed his previous strict style and greeted everyone with a smile, and then made a general understanding of everyone present. Before leaving, he also gave each person a batch of gifts to comfort him.
After dealing with these surrendered people, Li Yan kept Lu Qing alone, but not for the murder just now, but for another thing. He asked, "Lu Qing, when I entered the port today, I found a fleet of infected ships in the port. Who cares about this matter?"
When Lu Qing heard Li Yan ask about this, he couldn't help but feel relieved. After all, he was the one whom Li Yan killed, and now he dared to disrespect His Highness. If he pursued it, he would have to bear certain responsibility.
"Report to Your Highness, fleets often suffer from plagues and other infectious diseases in ports in the south, so there are usually prosecutors responsible for medical examinations. The person who is now serving as prosecutors is one of the criminals sent by Your Highness. This person is named Cui Wei. I will send someone to call him here!" Lu Qing bowed and said.
Although the prosecutor has the name of an official, it is actually not a formal official position, and it is not even among the officials of the court. Speaking of which, the officials sent to Liuqiu were really unlucky. At the beginning, Li Yan just wanted to send them here, but did not explain that they would take any position. In addition, the administrative areas on Liuqiu Island have not been divided yet, and the official positions have not been determined, so these officials have not yet used their skills, and they are just helping with some affairs in Keelung Port. Cui Wei was designated as a prosecutor by Lu Qing because he knew some medical skills.
"Yeah!" Li Yan nodded after hearing this, but when he heard the other party's surname Cui, Li Yan couldn't help but think of Cui Yu and Cui Mengxue's brother and sister. Could this Cui Wei also come from the Cui family in Qinghe?
As the saying goes, Lu Qing sent someone to call Cui Wei, but unexpectedly, two of them came. The one in front was a middle-aged man in his forties. He had a white face as jade, and three long black beards under his jaw floated, looking extremely mature and elegant. If it were placed in later generations, he would probably be a mature handsome guy who instantly killed countless girls.
Needless to ask, this middle-aged handsome guy is naturally Cui Wei, and behind Cui Wei, there is a Li Yan's acquaintance, which is Cui Yu he just thought of. Just by seeing the two of them walking, you can guess that Cui Wei must be Cui Yu's elder.
"Sir Cui Wei, pay homage to Your Highness, the King of Qi!" Cui Wei was very respectful to Li Yan, and there was no sign of any dissatisfaction. They were sent to Liu Qiu because of Li Yan. This person could face Li Yan so calmly, either because of his simplicity or it was really not for Li Yan.
"Prosecutor Cui doesn't have to be too polite!" Li Yan said with a smile, then said to Cui Yu next to him, "Brother Cui, you are here too. I guess Prosecutor Cui must be an elder in the family?"
Cui Yu introduced with a melancholy expression: "Liu Lang doesn't know that this is the second cousin. When my father was alive, the second cousin valued the most. Unfortunately, the second cousin was unlucky. The second cousin was forced by the patriarch Cui Yan to write to the court to suppress industry and commerce. As a result, the second cousin was implicated and was sent to Liu Qiu!"
As soon as Cui Yu finished speaking, he saw Cui Wei smiled and said, "Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness, King Qi. If you hadn't advised Your Majesty to change us from the death penalty to the plagiarism, you would probably have turned into soil!"
When Cui Wei spoke, his eyes were very clear, and he did not avoid Li Yan's scrutiny at all. This shows that when he said the above words, it was indeed out of sincerity.
"Haha~, Prosecutor Cui is polite. Since you are Meng Xue's cousin, you are my cousin. We are all our own family members, so it would be too disgusting to say "Xie!" Li Yan suddenly laughed, and at the same time, he looked at Cui Wei with appreciation.
If Li Yan remembered correctly, the emperor's father wanted to kill some high-ranking officials that time to establish his authority. Among the people who wanted to kill, Cui Wei had the highest rank, and it seemed that he should be the governor of Xingzhou. Being able to achieve such a high position is naturally not a simple person. Moreover, Cui Yu's words just now showed that Cui Wei was his person, so this person was simply a gift from God to him.
However, although Li Yan was happy, it was obviously not appropriate to discuss in detail today, because there were hundreds of lives waiting for him to rescue him outside the port, so after a few greetings with Cui Wei, he immediately entered the main question and asked: "Prosecutor Cui, what disease did the fleet next to the large reef outside the port suffer from?"
Cui Yu didn't know that Li Yan and his sister were betting. He just saw Cui Wei, and the two talked about some family affairs, so Cui Wei didn't expect that Li Yan would ask him about this. He was stunned and replied casually: "Report to your Highness, the people on the fleet went to Java, but unfortunately got infected with miasma when they came. He came to Keelung two days ago. The officials were worried about the infection, so they were forbidden to enter the port."
Li Yan was shocked after hearing this. It was indeed malaria. However, he was also secretly grateful that because malaria can actually be transmitted through mosquitoes, it is definitely impossible to control the infection by isolating the crew. Fortunately, the fleet has only arrived for two days, and there are no malaria patients at the port, or that some people have been infected, but they are still in the incubation period. If he comes a few days later, he may see a plague area.
"Prosecutor Cui, since you understand medical skills, please help me prepare something quickly. I want to completely cure the evil disease of miasma!" Li Yan suddenly slapped his chair and stood up, walked a few steps back and forth, and then he ordered Cui Wei excitedly.
However, when Cui Wei heard Li Yan say he wanted to heal the miasma, he immediately showed a look of shock on his face. After a while, he murmured: "Your Highness, miasma is not a small disease. Although the junior official is proficient in medical skills, he is still much worse than his niece Meng Xue. So, I'm afraid he can't help you in treating miasma, right?"
