Chapter 11 Tigers and wolves wait around and don't know how to retreat
Li Xun walked slowly and slowly through the corridor of the city lord's mansion and walked towards the gate.
"See His Highness Prince Jing."
I saw a man in blue official uniform walking towards him. When he saw Li Xun, he stood still and bowed to him.
"Um."
Li Xun nodded slightly and said calmly: "Is the Inspector Wang here too?"
Supervisory envoys are the confidants carefully selected from among the officials in the capital when His Majesty the Emperor of the Wei Dynasty sends his prince to govern a land after he reaches adulthood.
The duty of each supervisory envoy is not to assist the prince in governing the country. They have only one task, and that is two words - supervision!
Monitor and record the political achievements of the princes in their own fiefdoms, monitor and record the people's livelihood in the fiefdoms, monitor and record whether there are any lies or concealment of reports, corruption and withholding of resources allocated by the court, etc.
In the assessment every three years, in addition to the political achievements reported by the princes, the supervisory envoys will also submit a secret report of their own to the emperor. After comparing the two, the emperor will judge what kind of rewards should be given to the prince.
Rating.
Therefore, the identity of the inspector is extremely special and subtle.
They can say that they actually do not have any real power.
But just the fact that their music can be heard directly to heaven makes their status equivalent to that of an imperial envoy!
When Li Xun came to Jing'an City, the inspector accompanying him was named Wang Fuyan.
Even though his name has the same pronunciation as the word "perfunctory", he does things in a very orderly manner and is not perfunctory at all.
Li Xun has been in Jing'an City for more than a year. His evaluation of Li Xun's political performance so far has been very simple and straightforward, with just four words - no achievements.
In response to this, Li Xun had no other choice but to smile bitterly.
After all... what they said is indeed the truth.
A year ago, he was just a dandy prince with no power. If it weren't for Luo Li, he might not even be able to gain a foothold in Jing'an City, and how would he have any political achievements?
However, after more than a year of keeping a low profile, especially after meeting the catwoman Ziyin recently, Li Xun has become more mature. He has been dormant for a long time and can finally start to take action.
"Inspector Wang, what wonderful sight did you see when you just entered?"
Li Xun turned his head, looked at Wang Fuyan who was half a body behind him, and asked calmly.
"Return to His Highness Prince Jing."
Inspector Wang did not hesitate at all, and said loudly: "There are fifteen heads hanging high under the eaves at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion. The blood is condensed on the stone steps. The crowd is excited. It's terrible!"
Li Xun nodded and kept walking.
He didn't speak, but Wang Fu beside him was filled with doubts.
Looking at Li Xun's calm look, Wang Fuyan murmured in his heart: "What happened to Prince Jing today? Now that the fox girl Luo Li is not by his side, how can he remain so calm in the face of such a dangerous situation?"
In Wang Fuyan's view, the reason why Li Xun was able to survive in Jing'an City to this day was all because of Luo Li's ability to move among various forces and intimidate him.
Now, less than a month after Luo Li ran away, more than a dozen bloody heads were hanged in front of the city lord's palace. In Wang Fuyan's eyes, this was undoubtedly someone who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble and solve the problem while Luo Li was away.
Get rid of Li Xun, the annoying city lord.
"Ahem, Your Highness Prince Jing, after you go out for a while, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape unscathed. In my opinion, you should stay in the mansion and have someone quickly and quietly go to the back door to invite General Jin who is guarding the city.
Let him bring people over to relieve the siege."
Wang Fuyan thought for a while and finally advised: "The gang outside are all vicious people. It's just the government soldiers from the city lord's mansion and down below. Once there is a conflict, I'm afraid I can't guarantee your safety."
"They dare to use weapons against me. Aren't they tired of living?"
Li Xun curled his lips and said, "Inspector Wang, just watch it with peace of mind. By the way, do you still have that little notebook of yours that records my achievements and mistakes when I was in charge?"
"ah?"
Wang Fuyan was stunned for a moment, subconsciously touched his chest, nodded and said, "I brought it with me."
This is an imperial order, and he will naturally not forget it.
"That's good."
Li Xun nodded, and as he spoke, the two of them had already passed through the corridor and arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
"Open the door!"
"Kill for life!"
"The prince broke the law! He is as guilty as the common people!"
"How can the city lord take human life so seriously?! I must give you an explanation today!"
"My good brother is such a good person! He died in such an unexplained way. This matter must not be revealed so easily today!"
Before Li Xun and the others went out, they heard the loud shouting outside.
The gate of the City Lord's Mansion has not been demolished by them yet, which proves that the quality of the materials used when building the palace was quite high.
This noisy sound made Wang Fuyan frown.
He looked at Li Xun in front of him, hoping that His Highness Prince Jing, who was so embarrassing in his mind, would recognize the reality, turn around and hide in the depths of the government office with a pale face.
However, under Wang Fuyan's surprised gaze, Li Xun just raised his chin at the knife-wielding government servants beside him and said calmly: "Open the door."
"Your Majesty, this..."
The sword-wielding officer on the side was also a little frightened.
The people in Jing'an City are fierce, and most of them are murderers who lick blood from their knives and have blood on their hands, and they are not weak at all.
Although the soldiers and officers of the city lord's mansion are all monks with a lot of cultivation, their general cultivation is only in the body-forging realm. Facing these ruthless people, they have no advantage at all.
"Open."
There was a hint of severity in Li Xun's voice.
"All right……"
The yamen servant swallowed hard, tightened the official knife at his waist, stepped forward and opened the latch of the door of the city lord's mansion.
"boom!!"
The next moment, before the officer could open the vermilion door, the door was violently knocked open from the outside with a loud noise!
"Ding-deng-deng!"
The officer who opened the door didn't react in time, and was staggered by the door panel. He took three steps back and narrowly escaped falling to the ground!
"Li Xun! Come out!"
"Give us an explanation!"
"Finally the door is open! I thought you were going to be a coward!!"
"Don't think that just because you are some bullshit city lord, you can do whatever you want. This is Jing'an! Not Kyoto!"
Outside the door, there were faces with evil expressions, all of them stared viciously at Li Xun, who was standing at the door. They were shouting excitedly.
Li Xun's expression remained unchanged, he put his hands behind his back and stepped out of the threshold, arriving outside the gate.
"Yes, the heads of these guys were indeed hung here by me."
Li Xun looked around and said calmly: "What explanation do you want? Are you treating all of your accomplices as criminals and beheading them all together?!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt exploding in front of the city lord's palace. For a moment, everyone looked at Li Xun in disbelief, their eyes widened, and they became silent.
Wang Fuyan, who was standing behind Li Xun, had just taken out a small note-taking notebook from his arms. He wanted to see how Li Xun would resolve this difficult situation.
But after hearing what Li Xun said, his hands were so frightened that he almost couldn't even hold the pen.
After hesitating for a moment, in the silence, Wang Fuyan took up his pen and wrote down a sentence in his notebook.
"He is surrounded by tigers and wolves but does not know how to retreat. Prince Jing is crazy?!"
