Chapter 220: Chapter 220 Trust between People
Chapter 220: Chapter 220 Trust between People"You're here quite early." Governor Zhang said with a smile, and left with Jiang Luzhong.
Xu Qi'an did not follow, but called three white-robed sorcerers who didn't like to eat at the same table with warriors, so they huddled in the room to eat breakfast.
"Mr. Xu is here."
The three white-robed sorcerers hurriedly stood up and respectfully invited Xu Qi'an to take a seat.
"I have something to ask you..." Xu Qi'an pondered for a moment and said, "Besides you three, who else from our Si Tian Jian came to Yunzhou?"
In order to increase the sense of identity, he deliberately said "our Si Tian Jian".
The three white-robed sorcerers looked at each other: "No one, only the three of us."
Xu Qi'an's face sank: "You look down on me, right?"
"...Mr. Xu, what are you talking about? There are really only three of us." The white-robed sorcerer explained.
I don't know if using the Qi-watching technique to see the sorcerer will work... Give him what he wants... Xu Qi'an nodded: "I know."
He just thought about it, and the three little brothers would not lie to him. Moreover, the sorcerers must have a way to shield their own destiny, after all, they are professionals.
"There are officials visiting Governor Zhang right now. You three stay upstairs and watch their destiny changes, then report back to me."
After the instructions, Xu Qian'an took the three white-clothed people and hid at the corner of the stairs on the second floor.
....
In the hall, Governor Zhang met with officials of all levels in Baidi City. Basically, all those who were of high enough rank in the city gathered here.
There was such a big commotion last night. Unless you are blind or deaf, you can't be unaware of it. Not to mention these officials in the city who were closely watching the Governor's every move.
After some greetings, Governor Song, who was wearing a scarlet robe, got straight to the point: "I heard from the soldiers this morning that the governor went straight into the Commandery last night and arrested Lord Yang?"
Governor Song, who had high cheekbones and squinted when he smiled, opened his eyes wide and stared at Governor Zhang without blinking.
Other officials did the same.
Governor Zhang nodded and said in a deep voice: "The Qi party colluded with the Wushen Cult to transport military supplies. This official has arrested him and brought him back to the post station and is interrogating him."
"This..." The officials' faces changed slightly.
Governor Song frowned, lowered his voice, and said earnestly: "Governor, be careful, be careful."
After a pause, he leaned over to get closer to Governor Zhang, and continued: "Lord Yang is the commander-in-chief. Do you have solid evidence? Otherwise, it may be difficult to convince the public."
Even with the authority of the governor, if you want to move the second-rank commander- in-chief, you must have solid evidence. Without evidence, arresting people is taboo.
First, the Yunzhou officialdom will not agree, and secondly, the guards under the command of the commander-in-chief will not agree.
The former is okay, at most they can talk, but the latter are a group of bing hooligans (author's note: soldiers and hooligans cannot be connected).
Evidence must be produced. Without an explanation, there will be chaos. But Governor Zhang did not rush to show the evidence, and smiled:
"Everyone, you have been officials in Yunzhou for many years. What do you think of Yang Chuannan, the commander-in-chief?"
Upon hearing this question, the officials had different expressions and expressed their own opinions.
At the corner of the stairs, Xu Qi'an whispered: "Look, look carefully."
After a moment, he asked again: "Who lied? The one on the left with a sly look, I think he is unreliable. The second one in the back row, you can tell at a glance that he is not a good person..."
After speaking, he found that the three white-robed magicians were staring at him silently, and Xu Qi'an said depressedly: "Look at what I am doing, speak."
The white-robed magician stammered: "None of them is telling the truth..."
Xu Qi'an opened his mouth, but couldn't speak for a while. It was too damn real. This is the officialdom!
The so-called not telling a single truth means that what the officials said was completely different from what they thought in their hearts.
But this does not mean that they are "wolves", because there are too many falsehoods in the officialdom. If you say ten sentences, one sentence is false. In the Sitianjian's qi-watching technique, it is a lie.
Qi-watching technique also has limitations. It cannot be as accurate as a water leak, which can tell the time to the second.
Next, Governor Zhang talked to the officials about the account book, but he did not show it publicly.
...The officials exchanged glances obscurely. How long has the governor's team been in Yunzhou? Less than half a week. Three of them were still inspecting outside.
But even so, they still found evidence of Yang Chuannan's crime in just a few days?
For a while, the officials felt cold in their hearts. After three years as a prefect, they earned 100,000 silver coins. Who dared to say that they had no problems?
If Governor Zhang targeted them, none of them would be able to escape.
An official swallowed his saliva and asked, "The governor has many talented people under his command. I wonder which one of them made such a great contribution?"
While speaking, he glanced at the night watchmen around him.
Other officials looked at the night watchmen calmly and were all guessing.
Song Buzhengshi's eyes flickered slightly and he smiled and said, "I remember that Tongluo, who is proficient in farming, did not accompany the governor on the inspection that day."
This reminded everyone, and the officials of a high level immediately
no entity. If they are exposed to the scorching sun during the day, they will be seriously injured or even destroyed.
There are Taoist talismans painted on the paper man, which can warm ghosts and seal Yin Qi.
"Hey, General Li still carries a paper man with him? Where did you hide it?" Xu Qi'an
pretended to be puzzled.
"Of course I have my own methods." Li Miaozhen said. "What methods? The legendary mustard seed in a moment?" Xu Qi'an widened his eyes, like a
bumpkin who had never seen the world.
What is a mustard seed in a moment... Li Miaozhen was stunned at first, but then she felt very
satisfied with being admired by Xu Qi'an, so she nodded and said:
"It can be regarded as a similar spell." "General Li is worthy of being the Saint of Tianzong." Xu Qi'an was impressed.
Li Miaozhen said "hmm" with reserve.
.... Just pretend, it's just a fragment of the Earth Book, the more you pretend now, the more
you will be in trouble in the future. Xu Qi'an smiled sincerely.
At noon, Xu Qi'an treated the two beauties to eel, and estimated that Governor Zhang would
be back soon.
As a result, the governor did not wait for him. Instead, a soldier who was guarding the city
rushed into the post station at full speed, shouting: "I have something important to ask for, the governor!"
The Tiger Guard stopped him and scolded: "You are not allowed to enter the post station without permission."
The soldier guarding the city was very anxious and shouted: "Governor, I have something urgent to ask for."
The movement in the yard alarmed the night watchman in the post station. A silver gong
came out with two copper gongs and frowned, saying: "The governor is not here, tell me
something." The soldier guarding the city swallowed his saliva and said anxiously: "The troops of the Guards are gathering outside the South City, threatening that if the governor does not go out to see them, they will enter the city."
