Chapter 96 Collusion between Officials and Bandits
Hearing Duan Zhixing's words, Gao Mingyi wanted to die. It turned out that this person was really the prince!
What should I do?
Gao Mingyi, who was so angry and arrogant just a moment ago, felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. [] Immediately knelt down behind Duan Zhixing: "I don't know the way of the prince, and if you miss me from afar, you will offend me. I hope that your lord will be more generous!"
When these officers and soldiers saw the two adults kneeling down, their clanging weapons fell to the ground in fright, and attacking the prince was a capital crime! They quickly followed and knelt down, especially the leading officer and soldier, who was so frightened that he knelt down.
They are all trembling.
Li Jiancheng snorted coldly at the leading officer and soldier, causing him to tremble again, and led Hua Shenguang into the city.
Duan Zhixing glanced at Gao Mingyi coldly, and then followed him into the city. Gao Mingyi said to the leading officers and soldiers: "I'll settle the score with you later!" and he followed behind him.
"Duan Zhixing, you actually came here to greet me personally, which makes me very happy. However, the state officials here are a bit outrageous. They actually blocked me from entering the city. If it weren't for the sake of our officers and soldiers from Daping Kingdom,
Do you think those more than a hundred people just now can resist a master beside me?" Hua Shenguang showed off the prince's momentum and taught them a lesson.
"Yes, yes, yes! Your Majesty, calm down. These people have never seen the big world. They didn't know that a big shot like you, Your Majesty, would come to this small place, so they would have misunderstandings. I will punish them well later!" Duan Zhixing accompanied the group with a smile.
The people then entered the state capital.
"Duan Zhixing, how do you recognize the prince?" Li Jiancheng asked.
"Master Li, it is a big deal for the prince to grant him the title. The deputy governor in the capital has already rushed over and sent the prince's portrait, so the next time I see the handsome and noble prince with the jade trees in the wind, I will recognize him!"
"Duan Zhixing, you are really good at talking!" Hearing his flattery, Hua Shenguang praised him, sat on the seat in the middle, and then said to Gao Mingyi: "This Gao Xiaosong, is your nephew?
"
"Yes, yes!" Gao Mingyi stood aside, watching Gao Xiaosong being tied up, and thought to himself that this troublemaker didn't know what happened, but he actually got the prince into trouble, and even made him want to be punished by the prince. He was so angry.
Already.
"He violated the laws of the Daping Kingdom, secretly set up cards to collect fees on the only roads he passed, and did many things that were detrimental to the people of Linjiang County. I have demoted him to a commoner and replaced him with a local student, Yang Tao. Do you agree?
?”
"I agree, I agree. Your Majesty is very aware of everything. If the official finds out that he has done these things, he will do the same thing!" Gao Mingyi dare not say anything bad. Naturally, Hua Shenguang will say whatever he says.
"I escorted him here because I hope you will keep him for another year to sharpen his character so that he can become a good person in the future! This is also for your nephew's good."
"Of course, whatever the prince says will be whatever he says!" Gao Mingyi nodded in agreement.
"I'm afraid you arranged for him to be the county magistrate, right?" Hua Shenguang asked next. This question made Gao Mingyi startled and became frightened. Gao Xiaosong's county magistrate was originally arranged by him. If this matter was
It was found out that he had committed a serious crime.
Seeing Gao Mingyi's expression change immediately, Hua Shenguang sneered and said: "Whether it was arranged by you or not, I will not pursue it for the time being, but you blocked me from entering the city and used your power for personal gain. I must punish you. I also
Even if your official position is not removed, your punishment will be very simple. I will give you one year to turn Linjiang Prefecture into a state capital where the houses are open at night and everyone is prosperous. I will come back after one year. If you cannot achieve the goal,
If you meet the requirements, the consequences will be very serious!"
"Your Majesty loves the people like his own son, which is really a blessing to our Daping Kingdom!" Duan Zhixing quickly praised.
When Gao Mingyi heard that Hua Shenguang was going to punish him, he turned pale with fright. However, when he heard that this was the method of punishment, he immediately relaxed and kept thanking him and expressing his gratitude that he must build Linjiang Prefecture into what the prince said.
That look.
Under Duan Zhixing's enthusiastic arrangement, Hua Shenguang and his party stayed one night before preparing to set off again.
Li Jiancheng said: "Your Majesty, after passing Linjiang, we are heading north. There are two roads. One is to the west, passing through Wuguan Province, Bei Shan Province, and then to Binh Duong Province. The road is relatively easy to walk, but it has to go around a big road.
The other one goes through Ngoc Long Son Province, Cai Linh Province and Binh Duong Province. Although the road is much closer, it has to pass through many mountains and is a little difficult to walk. I wonder which one the prince will decide to take?"
"We are all riding lightly, so let's take the shortest route and see the scenery along the way!" Hua Shenguang decided.
"Okay, Your Majesty has decided to take this road!" Li Jiancheng pointed to a road in the north, and the group set off on their journey and rode away quickly!
After sending Hua Shenguang off respectfully, Duan Zhixing said coldly to Gao Mingyi: "You almost ruined my good deeds this time. If this prince hadn't been easier to talk to, I'm afraid life would have been difficult for you and me. What a useless nephew of yours."
, don’t you look at people when collecting tolls? It’s actually collected from the prince. If you can survive, it’s a good thing. And your officers and soldiers, your city guards, you should withdraw, you are a bunch of idiots!
"
"Yes, yes, you have taught me a lesson!" Gao Mingyi was extremely frightened that day. Now that he has seen off this great god, Prince Hua, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Sir, they chose to take this road. I heard that there are many bandits on this road. If they are attacked by bandits and injured or something, you can't get rid of it, sir, because they are in your province. When the time comes, your Majesty
Track it down..." Gao Mingyi suddenly thought of this problem and reminded Duan Zhixing.
Duan Zhixing slapped himself on the head: "Oh, I almost forgot about this, Liu Yuanfeng!"
"My subordinate is here!" Liu Yuanfeng, a master of the fourth level of physical body, stood up.
Duan Zhixing quietly approached his ear: "You should immediately take the small road, ahead of the prince, and inform the bandits along the way that they are not allowed to go out for the next few days..."
"I have the order!" Liu Yuanfeng rode on a fast horse and ran away from another road.
Gao Mingyi looked at Duan Zhixing's somewhat panicked look, and secretly felt proud in his heart: "Humph, you are still qualified to say that the bad things I did to you are like the difference between a drop of water and a river of water. Don't think that I don't know.
You colluded with the mountain bandits in the north and collected benefits from merchants. You didn’t expect the majestic prince to take this shortcut instead of taking the main road to heaven. Let the ten masters around the prince kill those bandits, haha!”
To the north of Xingzhou Province, there are endless mountains. Between these mountains and virgin forests, an official road has been artificially opened, leading to the north and connecting the north and the south. Because there are many mountains, many bandits have spawned.
The caravans that were robbed were not protected by experts. After Duan Zhixing became the governor of the province, he used his methods to contact some of the bandits and bandits, and the officials and bandits colluded for common interests!
Liu Yuanfeng quickly walked through the paths in the forest. He was about to pass Hua Shenguang's team from another path, but was blocked by a river that suddenly swelled. Liu Yuanfeng was so anxious that he cursed: "Damn, the water is rising.
