Three days later, a piece of news spread like wildfire in Liuxian County. That was that the county magistrate Gu Xian, who had been in office for less than five months, was imprisoned for corruption and bribery. It was said that it was Tang Jixia, the Jiedu envoy of Tingxi Dynasty.
The order was executed personally by the governor of Shuozhou, but no matter what, the people were extremely satisfied with it.
"The imperial court finally removed that dog official!"
"It should be said that Tang Jiedu finally heard the aspirations of the people of Liu County!"
"That person surnamed Gu has no idea of right and wrong, and his judgment of the case is unreasonable. He should have been removed from his post long ago. I hope the new county magistrate can be better, and he can distinguish right from wrong without asking for a clean life!"
"Don't worry, Tang Jiedushi is keeping an eye on him. Who dares to fool him? The new county magistrate will definitely not be too bad."
"...."
Because it was morning, several men in thick cotton-padded clothes were sitting at the breakfast stall, chatting while waiting for their breakfast, which was particularly lively.
The content of their chat happened to be caught in the ears of the three people passing by. One of them raised the corner of his mouth and poked Tang Ji with his elbow: "I think officials are the most powerful at this time. If they do something good, the people
They are grateful to you and praise you so much that they wish they could enshrine you at home as their ancestor."
Tang Ji glared at him, glanced at the breakfast stall, and said calmly: "Okay, let's eat something here."
After saying that, he took Hua Yuan'er and Cheng Tie and sat down nearby.
"Sir, what would you like to eat?" The store owner came over quickly and asked with a smile.
Tang Ji replied casually: "Three bowls of noodles."
"Okay!"
Not long after the three of them took their seats, two people sat down at the next table. This made the store owner, who had adapted to the bleak business, a little uncomfortable, but made Hua Yuan'er become wary.
"That's enough. It's been three days and they're still following us. Do you want to find a place to deal with them?"
Listening to Hua Yuan'er's soft questioning voice, Tang Ji shook his head twice: "Besides them, there will be other people coming, so don't alert the snake."
Hearing this, Hua Yuan'er curled her lips and whispered: "Don't you know that the people behind the Chen family don't want you to get involved in the Jianghu Conference? Originally, you were keeping a low profile, changing your name and hiding your whereabouts, but in the past three days, you have become so bold.
Even the county magistrate has been overthrown by you, aren't you afraid that they will get rid of you?"
Tang Ji raised the corner of his mouth slightly, glanced at the two people at the next table with his peripheral vision, raised the corner of his mouth, and returned to his normal voice: "Afraid? In the northwest, if I say one and someone dares to say two? What do I have to be afraid of?
Yes, I not only want to get rid of corrupt officials, but I will also attack the Jianghu Conference in two days. The good Liu County has been turned into a mess, and this meaningless conference should not be held at all!"
His words happened to be overheard by the shopkeeper who brought the noodles. The latter just thought he was bragging, but he was a customer after all and it was not easy to criticize Tang Ji. He just smiled and said: "Sir, your noodles are ready, please."
Use it slowly.”
But the two people at the next table knew the identity of the young master and knew that he had the confidence to say this. They frowned. After looking at each other, one of them stood up and walked towards the street.
When the store owner saw that only one of the two people had left, he didn't say anything. Anyway, he would prepare it for the two of them later.
Seeing this, Hua Yuan'er was a little anxious and looked at Tang Ji with a puzzled expression. He was about to get up and chase after him, but was stopped by Tang Ji's eyes.
"Master Hua, aren't you having a stomachache again?" Tang Ji picked up the dough with chopsticks, brought it to his mouth and blew on it, then slurred, and then added: "If you really can't hold it in, hurry up
Go back and give your interview to Lao Cheng."
Hearing this, Cheng Tie's face changed slightly: "Brother Tang, we are still eating!"
...
On the other side, in the lobby of the Chen family, the atmosphere was slightly solemn, because in addition to Gu Xian, who had been accepting bribes from the Chen family, and was imprisoned, the Shuozhou government announced yesterday afternoon that all cloth, porcelain, etc. used to pay tribute to the imperial court would be handed over to
The Wu family provided and praised the Wu family for their contributions to Liuxian and Shuozhou over the years. This series of actions directly raised the Wu family to several levels, making the Chen family unique in Liuxian County.
The status once again became indistinguishable from that of the Wu family.
"Mo Ying, tell me, what are you doing? It's been three days, why haven't you gotten rid of Tang Ji yet?" Mu Xing, who was sitting on the main seat above, stared at Mo Ying sitting on the side,
There was anger in his tone.
Hearing this, Mo Ying quickly stood up and replied: "Dr. Protector, Tang Ji's whereabouts have been erratic these past two days, making it difficult to take action. Moreover, it is said that there are many strong people around him. I..."
"It's hard to start? Are there any forces in Liu County that dare to compete with us now? Are you not easy to kill, or can't kill, or do you dare not kill?" Mu Xing interrupted him directly, and his tone changed.
More severe.
Mo Ying lowered his head suddenly and continued: "Mo Ying knows that he was wrong, and I hope that Protector Mu will calm down."
Youlan, who was sitting on the chair next to Mu Xing, raised her jade hand to her chin and yawned: "Protector Mo, if you can't do it, just let me go play with the great talent of the Tang Dynasty!"
But as soon as she finished speaking, she received a slightly wary look from Mu Xing, and then she raised her hand to touch her lips, and quickly became quiet.
Just at this moment, a thin black man in plain clothes walked in, raised his left hand and put it on his right shoulder, knelt down and saluted, and then said: "Dragon Shepherd, it's bad, Tang Ji plans to disrupt the Jianghu Conference...
....”
He directly relayed what he heard from Tang Ji at the noodle stall.
After hearing this, Mu Xing's expression suddenly turned cold, and there was a bit of coldness in the surrounding aura: "I have only been a Jiedushi for a few days, and yet I dare to be so arrogant, and even want to stop our sect from holding the Jianghu Conference. Since this is the case,
, then I’ll send you on your way!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to look at Mo Ying again: "Don't say I won't give you a chance. In three days at most, if Tang Ji doesn't die, you can go back to Kyoto to find the Lord to apologize!"
After listening to his words, Mo Ying licked his chapped lips, cupped his hands and replied: "I understand."
Tang Ji, if you insist on seeking death, you can't blame me!
Xiao Yong, who folded his hands on his chest and leaned against the pillar, also sighed silently. He had already said what needed to be said. Now without the order of the lady, he could not rescue Tang Ji. He could only hope that the boy could ask for more.
Blessed!
Mu Xing snorted softly and was about to leave when another panic-looking figure walked in from the door.
"My heroes, just now the officials from the county government came and took Ye'er away, saying that the newly appointed county magistrate wanted to punish him. What should we do now? Please think of a way to save my son.
"Chen Song's oily old face full of wrinkles was full of anxiety, and his voice was slightly hoarse.
Now, he suddenly regretted cooperating with this group of people. If he really offended the Jiedushi, his Chen family would face disaster!
"Tang Ji!" Mu Xing murmured and exhaled without thinking any more. Guessing what he was thinking from Chen Song's expression, he comforted him casually: "Master Chen, don't worry, we'll wait for Tang
After Ji Yi dies, your young master will be able to come out soon."
Wait for Tang Jiyi to die?
Hearing these words, Chen Song's eyes widened even more. These people actually want to attack the most talented person who is famous throughout Ning Kingdom?
He had some doubts about whether the other party was crazy, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he was on the pirate ship now and it was too late to regret. He adjusted his expression and bowed his hands: "Thank you, Master Mu."
"Yeah." Mu Xing simply replied and left with Youlan.
Looking at his back, Mo Ying whispered to Xiao Yong: "Okay, for the sake of my junior sister, I gave Tang Ji time, and he also gave me the answer. Go prepare and see what happens."
Can the boy's self-confidence save his life?"
Xiao Yong didn't reply and walked straight towards the door.
...
Wu family.
Wu Chengyun's smile has not disappeared since yesterday. He originally thought that the Wu family had reached the end of the road, but unexpectedly the Shuozhou government suddenly came to his aid. After the news spread yesterday that he was selected as the exclusive tribute merchant, many people who had betrayed their trust were
The small family began to fawn over him again, which allowed him to gain some limelight.
Thinking that the dog officer was also caught today, he showed joy again: "Humph, let's see how the Chen family still behaves!"
Wu Jun, who was sitting on the side seat, had a very calm expression. After stroking his chin and thinking for a long time, he expressed his thoughts: "Dad, I heard that today's order to remove Gu Xian from his post and investigate was issued by Master Tang.
Yes, and I heard that Mr. Tang is only eighteen this year, and he is handsome... This looks exactly like Mr. Tang. Do you think Mr. Tang is Mr. Tang? "
Hearing this, Wu Chengyun froze on the spot, blinking and thinking.
yes!
He was only happy, but he completely forgot about his previous cooperation with Mr. Tang. No wonder the Shuozhou government would suddenly help the Wu family, and today they took down the dog official. This makes sense. Unexpectedly,
This top leader in the northwest came to Liu County and happened to be associated with the Wu family. However, he had previously felt that the other party was talking nonsense when he said he could help the Wu family solve the problem of the Chen family. He even scoffed at the conditions proposed by Mr. Tang and ignored them!
Thinking of this, Wu Chengyun shook his head, put away his thoughts, and shouted loudly: "Come here!"
