Wang Liu, a fool like him, didn't know Yuchi's "evil intentions". He was just a man who obeyed his master. He regarded Yuchi as a good brother who was close friends in life and death.
Moreover, Yuchi was the commander-in-chief of an army. In Wang Liu's eyes, his brain was definitely smarter than his own.
So, he asked without any hesitation: "Tell me, since the master knew that Suzaku's Phoenix King was at the ruined temple in the west of the city, why didn't he go and capture her?"
He didn't think much about it at first when his master sent him there. The ruined temple was empty and no one was found in the city. Neither the soldiers stationed on the city wall nor the gate guards noticed him. If his master hadn't asked him to capture Phoenix King, he would have
They couldn't believe that King Feng was really in Jingcheng.
Ever since Wang Liu followed Qi Bao'er, he had never failed to fulfill any of his orders from Qi Bao'er. Today was the first time.
Therefore, Wang Liu was very frustrated and blamed himself. As soon as he came back, he went to his master to apologize.
Unexpectedly, the master was not only not angry, but also just asked him to step aside with a mild 'favor'.
Wang Liu's temperament is straight up, in other words, he is stubborn, and he especially believes in what he considers to be death.
He felt that he was wrong, and if his master did not punish him, he would feel ill.
The relationship between colleagues was not a short one. Yuchi was a careful observer and had already figured out Wang Liu's temperament, so he knew what he was struggling with.
He said he didn't like him, but when he looked at him, he looked as pitiful as a puppy that had been abandoned by his owner. Yuchi couldn't help but teach him with an extremely disgusted expression.
"Where is King Feng from?"
Wang Liu: "...Suzaku." It doesn't matter what kind of question it is.
Yuchi: "The Phoenix King and the Suzaku Emperor barely have the same status in the hearts of the people, but something happened in our Qilin Kingdom. If this kind of thing happens, what do you think will be the consequences?"
Wang Liu is not really stupid. When Yuchi was a little bit old, his mind wandered again and he immediately understood what he meant. He mouthed silently: 'Feng Wang will never let anything happen to us.'
When Yuchi saw that he understood, he ignored him and thought about it slowly by himself. He opened the door in front and went in holding the file.
His voice came out from the door that slowly opened, "Your Majesty, this is the list of candidates just sent from the prefect's Yamen."
Everything is like this, if you don't care about it or what happens, the world will be peaceful; but if you look carefully, it will be one section after another endlessly.
It can be said that the Shadowless Army trained by Qi Baoer himself was dispatched, and its mobility really corresponded to the word "Shadowless". In Jian City, all officials involved in collaborating with the enemy and corrupting the law were involved.
They were still squires, and one of them was thrown into prison.
Qi Tongzhi was ordered to temporarily act as magistrate of the state.
But after all, Qi Tongzhi is just a city magistrate, and he cannot exercise even 100% of the rights that the magistrate can exercise; so basically, the two people who call the shots in Jianzhou now are Qi Baoer and Zheng Xiang, while Qi Tongzhi is out running errands
that.
There are countless things happening in a city every day, let alone one state and three cities.
The real main purpose of Qi Baoer and Zheng Xiang coming here is not to rectify Jingzhou. Naturally, they cannot put all their energy on the affairs of Jingzhou.
So the two of them discussed it and divided the affairs three by two. You will take care of one part and I will take care of the other part temporarily.
And now the list of candidates that Yuchi brought in was one of the items that Qi Baoer wanted to take care of.
Putting the list down, Yuchi picked up the top one and presented it to him, "Your Majesty, this is the list of the one named Liu Tong, and it is exactly as the accuser said.
A native of Xiangcun, he was born on the second day of the twelfth lunar month in XX. He is now twenty years old and has not gone to Beijing. He is still teaching in the village."
Let's talk about this morning. Before dawn, nearly thirty people came from nowhere to the inn where Qi Bao'er was staying. They knelt down and cried and begged, shouting things like, "Please make the decision, sir."
The people guarding Qi Bao'er were either the real Qi guards she taught personally, or the soldiers from the Wuying Army. They were all disciplined and well-behaved, and would not attack the people at will.
When encountering such a situation, they stepped forward with a cold face and scolded people to leave quickly.
However, Qiwei and Wuyingjun are people who have seen blood, and their bodies are full of evil spirits. Normally, ordinary people would have been scolded when they encountered people like them, and they would have avoided them even from a distance. If it were true, Being scolded and running away in a pissed off manner are all commonplace.
But those who came to beg for help this morning couldn't drink away. All of them were pale and trembling with fear, but they just kept holding on and nibbling.
Whether they are really ordinary people or not, you can tell more or less from the clothes, appearance and condition of the other party. The Wuying Army still has this kind of wink.
So for these people to be so persistent, and then think about the current real situation in Jingcheng... this cannot help but imply a great grievance.
So, this matter came to Qi Bao'er.
The visitors were all villagers from a village called Xiangcun, which was less than an hour away from Jingcheng.
After the ceremony was called out, the leader, the eldest old man, stood up and spoke. He kowtowed in fear at first, but then he became more and more submissive, and finally fell to his knees in tears again.
According to the old man, although Xiangcun is close to Jiancheng, the grain tax collected by Jiancheng is 50%, and the land in Xiangcun was bought by my ancestors long ago. The entire Xiangcun belongs to the whole village. All the villagers are tenant farmers, and the owner of the land, Yin Yuan, also collects 30% of the tenant rent.
In this way, the villagers of Xiangcun farmed for a year, and only 20% of the grain could really fall into their hands.
As for the land in Xiangcun, the harvest can only be considered average. Only 20% of it belongs to me. That is the land that the whole village has cultivated for a year, but in the end, even I can't eat enough.
A not-so-typical poor village.
The villagers in Xiangcun are from the same ancestors. They all know that studying can change their family background. If you pass the exam, you can have a certain amount of land without having to pay taxes. Therefore, the villagers will select a few children from each generation and the whole village will raise funds to send them away. Go to the hall, hoping to have a person who can honor the ancestors and prosper the descendants at the same time.
However, perhaps because their ancestors did not have the wisdom to study, generations of the Liu family have not been very successful in their studies. At most, some of them have been admitted as scholars.
Until Liu Tong of this generation appeared, this boy seemed to be born to study. He had a photographic memory and was very good at drawing inferences from one instance to another. He was admitted as a boy student at the age of thirteen, became a scholar at the age of sixteen, and became a scholar at the age of ten. Seventy percent of people will be promoted.
Originally, based on his continuous improvement in the examinations and examinations, everyone guessed that he would become a Jinshi at the age of 18, becoming the youngest official in the imperial court to pass the imperial examination.
Unfortunately, when God gives a person a certain advantage, it will take away other things from him.
Liu Tong, his health was taken away by God.
Liu Tong was a premature baby and had been frail and weak since he was a child. He could not take three steps without gasping for breath before falling down in five steps. However, the nine-day continuous examination was already an almost insurmountable ridge for him.
Liu Tong had already participated in the last joint examination, and he was carried out after only six days of the government examination.
