"Too busy?" Qin Huaidao sneered: "Since you are too busy to keep up, then retire and return home and let someone who is busy take over. I heard that there is a man named Linghu Deqiu in Beijing who is quite good at water conservancy. With you
Can I replace him with you?"
"this?"
Li Changyuan never expected that His Majesty would be so unexpected.
It was obvious that he had meritorious service in killing the rebels, so he could forget about it without being rewarded. Why did he still find various excuses to remove himself from the official position?
It was just that His Majesty had said before that his dereliction of duty had already been confirmed, and it would be useless to mention his merits any more. This was when he became truly afraid.
The original plan was that if Li Shun failed to succeed, he would sell out the people in the Cao Gang to keep himself safe, but it seems that this plan was miscalculated.
No matter what, he still had to fight for it again.
"Your Majesty, although I have neglected my duties, it is because of me that the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has been safe for many years. If not for this, Your Majesty would have encountered more than one wave of assassins during his trip south, not to mention that I killed this man.
The assassin who escaped was not only innocent but also guilty..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qin Huaidao.
"So, I should still reward you?"
Li Changyuan has been in the officialdom for many years, so how could he not hear that His Majesty was speaking sarcastically? He quickly complained: "Your Majesty, I don't want rewards, but justice. I killed the rebels and saved Your Majesty. Instead of receiving rewards, I returned
What will the people on both sides of the canal think about being dismissed from office? If this matter reaches Chang'an, what will all the officials in the court think? Your Majesty, please think again."
Upon hearing this, Qin Huaidao could no longer control his temper and cursed loudly.
"You're talking nonsense!"
"So many people from the Cao Gang are besieging me. Do you think any of my guards are injured? I need you to save me? If you hadn't taken the first step, I would have killed all these traitors sooner or later. What's the matter with you?"
After hearing His Majesty's words, Li Changyuan observed the personal guards around His Majesty. Although these people looked tired, no one was injured, and they were all elite soldiers.
The generals around him are even more ferocious and invincible.
This is so!
Li Changyuan was greatly shocked. He didn't know how His Majesty fought this water battle, let alone how Caobang lost. But he finally understood that Li Tai deserved to lose.
With only a hundred men, nearly ten thousand Cao Gang members were killed without leaving any trace behind. With such strength, who else can do this except His Majesty and his own troops today?
Seeing that he didn't reply again, Qin Huaidao continued: "Furthermore, you are responsible for the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. There are so many rebels in your area, but you are not aware of it at all. How dare you say that you are not guilty?"
Holding back the shock in his heart, Li Changyuan finally gave in.
"Your Majesty's words are reasonable, but I have nothing to say."
"In this case," Bang Huaidao ordered: "Then you, the Shuidu Supervisor's transfer envoy, go back to your hometown. I will assign a new transfer envoy. You and other river soldiers can go back separately and wait for the new transfer envoy."
Arrive and wait for instructions."
Seeing this, everyone started talking.
These river soldiers originally followed Li Changyuan here for inspection. First, the great merits came down out of thin air, and then they saw His Majesty arrive in person. Finally, he was dismissed due to a transfer. The whole incident happened in less than half an hour. The number of twists and turns was beyond their ability to understand. It was just that
Since His Majesty has a decree, and seeing the majesty of the personal guards around His Majesty, I naturally dare not say anything.
After everyone dispersed, Qin Huaidao didn't say much, but took an official boat and approached Wang Shengzhi's direction.
Seeing His Majesty approaching, Wang Shengzhi quickly boarded the ship.
"Wang Shengzhi, the leader of the sniper regiment, has met Your Majesty." He bowed to Qin Huaidao as a monarch and his ministers.
Qin Huaidao quickly helped him up: "You don't need to be polite when you are out. You did a good job just now. Now I have a very important task for you. You can take a few of your close associates to carry it out."
Wang Shengzhi raised his hand and said, "I will live up to your Majesty's expectations. Please tell me what your mission is?"
Qin Huaidao looked coldly at the direction Li Changyuan was leaving, and ordered Wang Shengzhi: "Follow Li Changyuan quietly. When the river soldiers disperse and Li Changyuan returns to the house, kill them all. Don't alert the government, and make it a Cao Gang revenge."
elephant."
Wang Shengzhi looked up in shock: "This?"
Seeing his doubts, Qin Huaidao said: "Don't worry, I won't let you kill a good official by mistake. This person must be involved in today's Jinmen Crossing incident. His interception and killing later is just to kill people and silence them. I have checked the Caogang gang
Almost every corpse has been stabbed, how could it be like this if it wasn’t for some evil intentions?”
"If you are worried, before killing Li Changyuan, it can be said that he was a member of the Cao Gang. He came to him on the orders of the gang leader and waited to see his reaction before acting." Qin Huaidao added.
Wang Shengzhi was completely relieved: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that this matter will be taken care of by me."
After that, he left the sniper group with a few of his cronies and headed in the direction Li Changyuan left.
As for Qin Huaidao and others, the crisis tonight has passed and the night is getting darker. It is no longer appropriate to sail again. Anyway, there is no rush. Qin Huaidao ordered to anchor on the other side of Jinmen Ferry for one night. The garrison was exhausted after a battle.
Let the sniper team do the night patrol work.
That night.
Shuidu Supervisor was transferred to the ambassador's office.
Wang Shengzhi took his cronies to the top and saw Li Changyuan hurriedly packing his things after entering the house. He signaled to his cronies not to move rashly. He climbed over the wall quietly, approached Li Changyuan when no one was around, and suddenly called him.
"Master Li."
Li Changyuan was startled. He saw that the person who came was very strange. He was about to draw his sword and call for help when he heard the person say: "Master Li, the gang leader said that something big might happen tonight. He asked me to wait in the house to protect Master Li's family. Can we wait?"
I haven't seen anything happen in the middle of the night. The gang leader and many Cao Gang brothers have gone out and have not returned yet. I wonder if Mr. Li can tell whether the gang leader and Cao Gang brothers are okay?"
At this time, Li Changyuan was already frightened and could not think calmly.
"What gang leader? What's your gang leader's name? If you can't tell me, I'll kill you!"
Wang Shengzhi's face hardened. There was something wrong with the other party saying such a thing.
He made a silent gesture: "Hush, the gang leader's name is taboo and it's not appropriate to announce it here."
Li Changyuan asked suspiciously: "Are you really from the Caobang?"
"Then there's still a lie?"
Relating to the major events that happened tonight, if they are not from the Cao Gang, then they are from His Majesty. However, His Majesty has already dismissed his official position. It is impossible for him to send people to kill him. He did it when he wanted to kill him in the woods. How could he send someone to kill him?
Are you going to pretend to be a member of the Cao Gang?
At this time, he was seventy-eight percent convinced.
He also thought that this person came within three steps of him, but he didn't notice him. He must be a good player whose relationship with the Cao Gang was not close enough. If the relationship was close, he wouldn't know what he was going to do tonight.
Since he is a good player and his relationship with the Cao Gang is not close enough, he has room to take advantage of him.
"The situation is over. The gang leader was arrested at Jinmen Ferry."
