"A team of unfamiliar faces?"
Because Wang Mengcai was transferred from Jiangsu and Zhejiang after the great changes in Shandong, although he had heard about the great changes, his official status was low-key and he had no access to the details.
He had just heard it in confusion before, but now he received such a strange order, and he was even more at a loss.
"What kind of strange team are they? Businessmen? Or visiting relatives?"
Just when Wang Mengcai hesitated and wanted to ask Xiao Han more details, such as what kind of team he was looking for, how many people there were, and how they were dressed.
Liu Hongji, who was extraordinarily taciturn today, suddenly rolled his eyes and snorted angrily: "Didn't you fight a battle with the Goguryeo people yesterday? Didn't you leave anyone alive and ask them if any Han people have gone to their country?"
Is it done? Is it so troublesome to use?"
"Well……"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Mengcai suddenly became even more embarrassed! He stood there muttering for a long time, then he said with a blushing face and cupped his hands: "Returning to the country, yesterday, the official was nervous because of the battle, and he couldn't understand what the Goguryeo people said, so he couldn't understand the words of the Goguryeo people.
, killed everyone, no... no one was left alive."
"Oh? No one left alive?"
Liu Hongji was slightly surprised when he heard that no Goguryeo people survived. Seeing Wang Mengcai nodded in embarrassment, he snorted and questioned: "It's rare for this person to be left alive! I heard that you brought these Goguryeo people.
Can you kill so many Goguryeo thieves with just the people you brought today? Could it be that those thieves have tied their hands and are waiting to be chopped down by you?!"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Mengcai's expression suddenly changed!
Although his official position is low, who can be an official these days is not a good person? After hearing Liu Hongji's words, I immediately knew that the Duke of Guo was questioning his performance yesterday!
This is a serious matter!
If a bad official is really regarded as a traitor who falsely reported his military exploits, beheading is a light thing! If he is more powerful and is suspected of killing a good person and taking merit, then his whole family will not be able to survive!
Therefore, Wang Mengcai immediately stopped caring about his own face and looked at Xiao Han tremblingly, hoping that Xiao Han could explain it to him.
His action was completely subconscious! Little did he know that in the eyes of others, his weird behavior was equivalent to a guilty conscience. Even Niu Jinda, who had always been honest and honest, couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
"Ahem, you don't have to doubt those heads, they are all real!"
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room suddenly became weird, Xiao Han had no choice but to roll his eyes helplessly and sighed: "To be honest, Xiaodong and I were the ones who went to the village over there as guests, and we accidentally
We discovered those Goguryeo people! It was a coincidence that a big pot was being set up for cooking in the village. Then after the villagers retreated, we poured all the medicinal powder left over from Ningcheng into the pot, and then...
You know it!”
"Well……"
Hearing Xiao Han's explanation, Niu Jinda and Liu Hongji suddenly realized! Just looking at him, there was obviously something more in their eyes. Even the hand that touched the teacup was withdrawn like an electric shock. They even didn't forget
Rub your hands back and forth vigorously on your clothes.
"What are you looking at! Can I still drug you?"
Xiao Han also noticed the strange look in the eyes of the two people, and suddenly became very angry.
Gritting his teeth, he said: "Even if I want to drug you, there is no need to go to such trouble. When I invite you to dinner, I will bring you a glass of poisonous wine and you will drink it yourself!"
"Ahem, I'm kidding, I'm kidding! This tea is just a bit hot, well, it's burning my paws!"
Seeing Xiao Han getting angry, Niu and Liu hurriedly had a fight to get the matter out of the way.
What a joke, who in Man Chang'an doesn't know that Xiao Han is petty? If he really offends him, it's impossible to kill him, but if you give yourself a little medicine, you can still be so petty!
I don't want to squat in the latrine until my legs become weak.
Knowing the cause and effect of this battle, especially knowing that Xiao Han was involved in it, there is no doubt anymore! After all, it would be strange if Xiao Han couldn't deal with hundreds of Goguryeo people if he took action.
After giving Wang Mengcai a few words of explanation, especially how many people Li Zhen might bring and what kind of carriages and horses they would take, he told him to go down quickly and start the investigation.
It just so happened that the city was in chaos after they made such a fuss in the morning, and he, the county magistrate, was needed to take charge of the situation.
Wang Mengcai left in a hurry. There were no outsiders in the room, and the atmosphere in the room between the three of them also changed accordingly.
Liu Hongji finally no longer looked like he had at the beginning, with a nose that was no longer a nose and a face that was no longer a face.
"Hey, Lao Liu, you've been making a bad face since just now, who are you showing it to?"
After drinking all the tea in the cup in one gulp, Xiao Han no longer held the air of a marquis, leaned on the back of his chair, squinted at Liu Hongji and asked!
"Should I make a bad face?"
Liu Hongji was not to be outdone. He was a person who couldn't hide things in his heart. In addition, he still had the thought that "my younger brother has gone astray, and it is the elder brother's responsibility to bring him back." He immediately glared back and said:
"Forget about anything else, please explain to us first what the relationship between this county magistrate named Wang and you is!"
"What's the relationship?" Xiao Han was stunned when Liu Hongji asked this strange question.
What kind of relationship does he have with Wang Mencai? What kind of relationship could he have? Before he came to Anping County, he didn't even know there was such a person, right?
"Yeah!"
At this time, seeing Xiao Han's confused look, Niu Jinda also supported him.
However, he was not as dirty as Liu Hongji thought. He only thought that this person was a relative and friend of Xiao Han, so Xiao Han would think of ways to use military merit to find a career for him.
Therefore, Lao Niu said with a smile: "Xiao Han, is it possible that you are an old friend of this Wang County Magistrate? How come you are so protective of him? If you think this person can be of great use, you don't need to give him any credit.
, just say it, brothers go to His Majesty and directly guarantee him to be the prefect, there is no problem!"
When Lao Niu said these words, his tone was very calm, as if this was just a small matter to him, and as long as Xiao Han nodded, he could make it happen immediately.
This means that Wang Mengcai has left and has no chance to hear these words.
Otherwise, let him know that as long as he has a relationship with Xiao Han, he can sit on the vast majority of officials and the magistrate throne that he will never reach in his lifetime, then he will definitely be ecstatic! No matter what, he must have a relationship with Xiao Han!
Even if he is regarded as a godson to Xiao Han, he will kneel down and shout with joy: "My foster father is here, please accept my child's respect!" "A team of unfamiliar faces?"
