Li Ang’s scolding echoed in the hall,
The Hedong Road Observer Seal, purple gold fish bag and other tokens worn on his waist collided with each other and made a crisp sound.
"..."
Wang Bofan was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, calmed the twitching muscles on his face, and said calmly: "So, Mr. Li Xiaolang doesn't want to let Mr. Wang go."
"The plague that occurred in Taiyuan Prefecture is inseparable from the connivance of the Wang family members, who knew about it but did not report their actions. It is not so much that you are trapped with the people of Taiyuan Prefecture.
It would be better to say that the people of Taiyuan Prefecture have been dragged into the water by you. Under such circumstances, you should not think about being alone and enjoying peace and quiet in the years to come."
Li Ang said: "What's more, in the whole world, is it the king's land, and on the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers.
This is the territory of the Yu State, so we must talk about the laws of Yu, the laws of the country, and the rule of law.
There is no legal difference between you and the common people. You must abide by the laws of Yu and obey government orders.
Finally, as many benefits and benefits as you enjoy, you have to bear the corresponding responsibilities.
Your Wang family has been entrenched in Taiyuan for thousands of years, and everything you eat, use and wear comes from generations of Taiyuan people. How can you just leave?"
"It's a good one to pull people off, a good one to talk about the laws of Yu and the laws of the country, and a good one to unify responsibilities and powers."
Wang Bofan's chest was about to explode with anger, but his face still maintained the calm demeanor cultivated by a thousand-year-old family.
He nodded calmly, with no expression on his well-maintained face, and said calmly: "In this case, the common people will go back and inform the Wang clan members about the Taiyuan government's decision."
"Okay."
Li Ang nodded and watched as Wang Bofan flicked his sleeves coolly and turned to leave.
Gudong.
The Taiyuan prefect swallowed hard. Unlike the proud emperor in purple robe next to him, he had never been admitted to the academy.
Relying on his own efforts and a little help from his father-in-law, he climbed from the lowest level of county magistrate to his current position step by step.
Because of this, he knew better how vast, far-reaching power and influence a thousand-year-old family like the Five Surnames and Qiwang had in the Yu Kingdom.
When gods fight, mortals suffer...
Taiyuan Taiyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and left the Taiyuan Palace on the pretext of carrying out Li Ang's order to curb the plague.
He doesn't want to get involved in the conflict between the academy, the aristocratic family, and perhaps the imperial power, and he doesn't know how he will die. During this period, it is better to lie dormant first, do his job well, and ignore the rest.
Did you see or hear...
"This prefect can't run very fast."
Li Ang, who stayed in the hall, couldn't help but sneered as he looked at the Taiyuan prefect holding his belt and leaving in a hurry.
"He is afraid."
In the dark corner, Yan Yundang, wearing armor and holding a horse in his hand, walked out quietly and said in a deep voice: "You are the most outstanding disciple in the academy, and you are also the observer of Hedong Road who was appointed in times of crisis.
On the first day you arrived in Taiyuan Prefecture, you yelled and killed the Wang family, which is hard not to think of."
"What do you think of, party struggle?"
Li Ang smiled and said: "I have given Wang a lot of face, otherwise I would have taken the soldiers and horsemen to his mansion to arrest people during the day."
Yan Yundang frowned slightly and said, "Wang's power is great."
Li Ang shook his head, "It's nothing bigger than the laws of Yu and the country."
"..."
Yan Yundang changed his eyes, as if to say, "I find it a bit funny when you talk about Yu Lv."
"I know."
Li Ang rolled his eyes, "The Wang family is a millennium-old family, and the network formed through marriage, master-disciple, classmate, comradeship, etc., spreads throughout the Yu Kingdom.
The family has accumulated wealth, books, and treasures for countless generations, and has trained hundreds of monks.
Being in Taiyuan is like a country within a country.
And so on."
Yan Yundang asked doubtfully: "Do you know that it will also force them to die?"
Li Ang curled his lips and said: "I didn't create this dead end, it was paved by them themselves. What's more, we just prevent them from leaving the city, and it's not to the point of closing the desperate situation."
Yan Yundang said: "There will be impeachment."
"Oh, what are you impeaching me for? Corruption and misappropriation of public funds? Or indulgence in beauty and moral corruption?"
Li Ang shook his head and said: "Although I don't like the title Little Medicine King God, it can indeed save my life.
Even the Wang family of Taiyuan would not be able to slander me so quickly on a social and moral level.
It is even less possible to risk the disapproval of the world and commit assassination.
The most likely thing is to put pressure on the Chang'an court to force me to take back my life and let Wang go.
Or simply ask the court to replace someone as the Hedong Road Observer.
But..."
He took out a letter from his arms and put it on the table.
Yan Yundang glanced at Lian Xuanxiao's name on the letter and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"The letter from the mountain chief arrived just in the evening."
Li Ang said: "He has informed the Academy that there will be doctors and classmates from the Academy coming to Taiyuan to help me."
"That's good."
Yan Yundang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he is a martial arts master equivalent to Zhuxiao, the Wang family has been entrenched in Taiyuan Prefecture for thousands of years. God knows how far they have penetrated Taiyuan.
If Li Ang and Li Ang were to die, Yan Yundang didn't have much confidence that he would be able to take Li Ang out of Taiyuan Prefecture with all his beard and tail under the assassination of countless Wang monks.
And with the doctoral students in the academy, the Taiyuan Wang family must be cautious and weigh the risks and benefits of completely breaking up with the academy.
"But I still don't understand something."
Yan Yundang thought for a moment and asked: "Since you hate the Wang family so much, why don't you just reach a tacit understanding with Wang Bofan.
Ask the Wang family to hand over a few or a dozen clan members who condoned the plague and failed to report the knowledge, put the culprits in jail, and let the other Wang family members leave?"
"It's meaningless. There are countless people in the Wang family, and you can just randomly find a few unlucky people from the branches and sidelines who have a strong sense of family values, and take the blame for the culprit.
As for my insistence on letting the Wang family stay in Taiyuan, it is not just to vent my anger..."
Li Ang shook his head and looked outside the prefect's mansion at the city shrouded in darkness, murmuring: "From what I observed during the day, this plague has just begun...
I need to harness the power of the Wang family."
Under the endless darkness, the lights of various houses gradually went out.
Various sounds that were very different from those during the day were heard in the city.
The lazy chirping of insects in late autumn, the croaking of frogs in the riverside pond, the snoring of the husband, the cry of the baby, the sound of women coaxing the children, the night watch on the street, the regular bells in the clock tower, and the swaying of the Hao in the wind.
Sky ringtone.
And, coughing sound.
"Ahem——"
Lifu, who was sleeping in the dock dormitory, was coughing.
"Ahem——"
The waiter sleeping on the inn table and bed is coughing,
"Ahem——"
A wealthy businessman sleeping in a mansion with his concubine in his arms is coughing,
In thousands of households, countless people of different identities and ages are breathing and coughing.
