Chapter 375 Take the Emperor's Sword and Execute for the Common People
Outside the Zhili Prefecture of Yangzhou, a team has arrived.
The guards with swords on both sides were guarding each other, and the dragon guards were following around the sedan chair! The scene was very solemn! "Is this the imperial envoy?"
"I heard that this time I came for Lord Li Fan and the case of Linchuan County!"
"I feel that this time is very grand..." The people on both sides were discussing heatedly.
The team finally stopped in front of the Zhili Prefecture of Yangzhou. Lin Jianshen and others were already waiting.
In the eyes of everyone, a eunuch in a blue robe walked out of the sedan chair, but saw his eyebrows, hair, and his whole face was quite rosy.
"Is this... Qiao Baimei... Eunuch Qiao?"
Among the officials who received the order, Helian Chengbo's face changed slightly. He had a deep impression of this eunuch back then.
Eunuch Qiao has a very high status in the palace. Some people even believe that Wen Baishan is the blade of the emperor in the court, while Eunuch Qiao is the blade of the emperor in the palace.
With Eunuch Qiao in the palace, there is a piece of iron plate, and the needle cannot be inserted or water cannot be poured into it.
It can be said that this character, anyone who is truly powerful in the Daxi Empire, has heard his name.
For a moment, Gao Nanshi and others' faces became a little heavy.
This time, the emperor actually sent all figures like Qiao Baimei to pass the imperial edict, which shows how much importance the emperor attached to Linchuan County's affairs this time.
"Let you wait for a long time."
At this time, Qiao Baimei had already smiled and spoke, with a harmonious face on her face, and her eyes fell on Li Fan, saying, "This person must be the young hero Li Fan, who is famous in Xijing and has attracted everyone in the world."
Li Fan said calmly: "The imperial envoy praised it."
Heliancheng Po, Gao Nanshi and others even had a stern look in their eyes.
Qiao Baimei praised this as soon as she met... Qiao Baimei smiled and said, "I'm not a fool. Your name is shocked three times even in the Shame-knowing Palace. Looking at the Great Xi Kingdom, at such an age, you are the only one who can stir up such storms."
You are the only one! Everyone has complicated expressions.
Qiao Baimei represents the emperor.
Does the emperor actually have such a high opinion of Li Fan? Almost all the officials in the upper class of Yangzhou were on the scene. At this moment, they felt even more frightened.
It seems that Li Fan is really hard to stop him?
At this time, Lin Jianshen smiled and said, "Eunuch Qiao, if you praise him like this, I'm afraid he will cause even bigger things in the future."
"Mr. Lin, are you still afraid that he will make a mistake when he has you taken him with him?"
Qiao Baimei smiled, then looked slightly lowered, and said, "Okay, our family can't talk too much. Please ask Lord Li Fan and you all to accept the order--" Hearing this, all the officials present knelt down and answered the order in an instant! Qiao Baimei immediately received the imperial edict, opened it, and chanted loudly: "The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, the edict said: I heard that the twelve families including the Sun family in Yangzhou embezzled national taxes, oppressed the people, and despised the national law, which is a serious crime.
He brought the Zhili Prefecture of Yangzhou, followed the rule of the clan, and collected the family's capital from the state treasury, and returned the taxes to the people of Linchuan County for one year and exempted them from three years."
He stopped for a while.
Upon hearing this, countless officials looked silent.
They had long thought of the ending, but when the court really announced the result, everyone was still in a daze.
A month ago, the Sun family was an evergreen tree in Yangzhou, and almost no one dared to mess with the Sun family in Linchuan.
Li Fan couldn't help but think, and then said: "Natural."
"This time, before leaving, the emperor told me that there are two things in the southeast region, and he is most concerned about it."
Qiao Baimei spoke and began to get to the point, saying, "One thing is the truth revealed by Lord Li Fan this time. How serious should it be in Yangzhou and even the entire Southeast and the world."
"The Lord of the Lord has already said in the Hall of Shame Knowledge, and he will investigate it to the end, and the Lord of the Lord personally inquire about it.
Because this matter started in Yangzhou, it must have started from Yangzhou that Master Lin had to shoulder the heavy responsibility and listen to the decree respectfully."
"So, the second thing, looking at Yangzhou, I'm afraid only Jingshi Li can do it..." He looked at Li Fan leisurely.
Li Fan said: "Please make an announcement."
"The emperor means that the martial arts world in the southeast is an important city in the world. Now the power is too chaotic and complicated. If you can unite people's hearts and serve the country with all your loyalty, it would be great."
"Mr. Wen once made a suggestion to the emperor that Censor Li had a very high prestige in the Yangzhou martial arts world, so in short, this matter must fall on your shoulders."
He stood up, patted Li Fan on the shoulder, and said, "Mr. Li, after finishing this, I should go to Xijing Xiangsheng's above position next year."
It was meaningful! Li Fan smiled bitterly.
After all, it’s still Mei Lin’s argument! The world is moving in troubled times. Because foreign enemies are strong, the Chinese people are fond of martial arts, and the martial arts world is very powerful. Once, under the call of Wu Tiangu, countless people in the martial arts world served the country on the front line. Therefore, the court has always acquiesced to the martial arts world forces in the martial arts world.
But now it has been peaceful for twenty years, and in these twenty years, the hearts of the martial arts world have been scattered.
Faced with the letter that Wu Sangzi brought back from the rear of the Hu people a few months ago, the Hu people colluded with the Qiang people and were about to invade the Daxi Kingdom. At this time, the court must rectify its internal forces.
The martial arts world is indispensable.
Now, sending Li Fan to participate in Meilin's discussion of Taoism was a strategy of the court for the martial arts world.
Li Fan thought, and couldn't help but sigh. This was because he believed in himself too much.
"Also, Lord Wen asked me to bring a letter to Lord Li Fan, saying that he would answer immediately after Lord Li Fan read it, so that I can take it back and ask Lord Li to take it."
Qiao Baimei smiled, took out a letter from her sleeve, handed it to Li Fan, and said, "Mr. Li, you can go to the study to reply to the letter, and we will wait for it."
Wen defeated the mountain?
Write a letter?
Let yourself go back?
This is not a pen pal, what the hell is it... Li Fan felt strange in his heart, but he still took the letter and said, "Okay."
After saying that, he took the letter to the study room.
"Eunuch Qiao, I'm afraid this letter is not written by Lord Wen, right?"
After Li Fan left, Lin Jianshen suddenly spoke.
Qiao Bai smiled and said, "Did Lord Lin forget that you wrote a letter for the priest in Wolf Smoke City back then..." Hearing this, Lin Jianshen suddenly burst into laughter.
——In the past, when Wu Tiangu was fighting the Hu people in Wolf Smoke City, the emperor had doubts, but he had already granted Wu Tiangu full power, so Lin Jianshen, who was beside him, wrote a letter for him to consult Wu Tiangu's war... "More than 20 years ago, the emperor was still a young man, so he was fine, but now he is so childish, hahahaha..." Lin Jianshen smiled, but there was infinite emotion in his eyes. Yes, in a blink of an eye, it has been more than 20 years! "Actually, Qiao is very puzzled. It is probably a major national tax matter to let the emperor ask about it himself. It is unknown whether Li Fan's answer is effective. The emperor... attaches too much importance to Li Fan, this kid."
Qiao Baimei suddenly spoke, revealing her true attitude.
Lin Jianshen smiled slightly and said, "The Lord's approach is wise."
