Yelihe snorted heavily and did not answer. Because Ye Huxian sent him here simply to contact Wei Chongnian and start a business together. Li Han asked him if he had any other purpose, but he really couldn't think of it.
"Don't tell me? Forget it if you don't tell me, just stay here. Qin Yao, go to the city to find a woman to take care of him."
"Female... Women? It seems that women are not allowed to stay in the army. "Qin Yao was not sure what Li Jun meant.
Yelihe also didn’t understand, because this was a taboo during the march. Could it be that Li Jun wanted to use a honey trap against him?
"If you don't stay overnight, just come and take care of him every day."
"Why is the prince so special to this person?" Le Weisheng couldn't understand.
"Because he is my treasure. Let's go."
After leaving the camp, Le Weisheng was still puzzled and asked: "Why does the prince say he is my treasure?"
Li Han smiled slightly and said: "He is the key to our defeat of Ye Huxian, how can he not be a treasure?"
"Then do we really need to find a woman to take care of him? "Qin Yao felt a little disgusted.
"Isn't it ready?" Li Han smiled mysteriously.
The two of them then thought of the woman left by Li Jun in the camp, Asang.
After daybreak, on the busiest downtown street in Jinyang, the onlookers were discussing the heads hanging under the archway.
"That one seems to be the prefect?"
"Hush, don't talk nonsense, or you may cause disaster."
"The official is here."
p>
"Give way, everyone give way..."
"There's nothing to see, let's all leave, let's leave..."
The government officials came to the scene Separate the people watching, form a cordon, and look for clues near this line. As you can imagine, naturally nothing was found. The officials climbed up to the archway with a ladder, untied the rope hanging the head, covered it with a white cloth, and then left the scene.
Half an hour later, a notice was posted in the Taishou Mansion, explaining that the Taishou Wei Chongnian was killed by thieves last night, and a heavy reward was offered to catch the real culprit. Subsequently, a mourning hall was opened in the Prefect's Mansion and white flags were hung.
Good things never go out, but ugly things travel thousands of miles. The news of the murder of the prefect had spread to everyone in just half a day. The wealthy gentry who had connections with Wei Chongnian were quite uneasy and frequently sent people to inquire about the latest news.
"Who killed the prefect? Did anyone witness it with their own eyes?"
This chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue reading.
"Sir, there are rumors that the barbarians attacked the prefect's mansion at night and killed Mr. Wei in order to frighten our army. When the prince heard about it, he lost his temper and ordered the whole city to be under martial law. , to catch the murderer, there are troops coming and going in the city now."
"They are barbarians.. "
Just when they breathed a sigh of relief, Li Jun asked his master to invite all the squires and famous elders in the city to the prefect's mansion in the name of mourning. At this juncture, everyone was unwilling He went but didn't dare not to go, so he had to come to the prefect's mansion timidly, losing the arrogance of the past. At this time of uncertainty, no one dared to make a mistake or be a little different from others, just for fear of being criticized. Someone who was interested noticed the mistake.
While everyone was on tenterhooks, Li Han got up lazily until late in the morning, wandered around until three quarters later, then finished his meal and rushed slowly. Arrive at the Prefect's Mansion.
After entering the mansion, Li Hao asked people to close the door. The people inside became even more nervous when they saw this scene. After Wei Chongnian died, Li Hao naturally took charge of Jinyang's government affairs. Coupled with the tiger troops in their hands, no one dared to make a move.
As soon as Li Jun came, he sat down directly on the main seat. He did not bother with the coffin in the mourning hall and asked everyone straight to the point: “You must all know about the assassination of the prefect. Although this case was committed by barbarians, I think it will never be that simple. If the city gate is not open, where can this barbarian get in? Therefore, I conclude that this barbarian is just a cover, and the real murderer is still at large. "
Mr. Yousu asked: "I wonder who the prince suspects? ”
“The murderer must have some past relationship with the prefect if he wants to hide it. According to the master, the prefect met an old acquaintance last night without telling everyone, and it seemed that he wanted to discuss some matters. When the master came to pay his respects in the morning, he found that the prefect had already buried his body in the mansion. Master, please give me the certificate you got in the prefect's room. Show the things to everyone. ”
“The villain obeys orders. "
The master handed over all the invitation letters that Wei Chongnian asked him to write last night.
Li Jun slapped the table and said, "Everyone of the names on this is disgusting. Come, arrest these people and throw them into cells. After the truth is found out, those who should be released will be released, and those who should be interrogated will be interrogated. ”
“Yes. "
The soldiers had already received the order and immediately arrested the person they were responsible for. There was a cry of injustice in the hall, and some people wanted to ask for mercy. Li Chengsu glared at him with a murderous look, and he suddenly became distraught. Dare to speak. Everyone vaguely understood that this was a game, and Li Jun was using Wei Chongnian's death to clear the way. It didn't matter if there was a murderer among these people, Jinyang would eventually belong to King Jin.
Those people who wanted to understand the key to this began to consciously draw a clear line between them and those people. Seeing that everyone had no objections, Li Jun smiled with satisfaction and said: "The prefect died before the enemy troops retreated. The order in the city must not be disordered. Today, my king will first send a military advisor to take over the government affairs and handle the affairs of the prefect's mansion together with my master. I also ask for your cooperation. When this matter is over, I will definitely report to my father Ming to ask for your credit. ”
"Don't dare, this is what we should do."
"Yes, please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Everyone came up to express their loyalty. Some people who had a grudge against the captured gentry took this opportunity to report clues one after another, and Li Jun handed them over to military advisor Zhang Guang and his master to handle them together. What he was most interested in was raiding the homes of the wealthy gentry. The property and food confiscated from those homes were enough for the Tiger Army to hold on for several more years.
Of course, what happened here still needs to be reported to Emperor Yan Ping, but there is no need to talk about the confiscation of the house. Li Jun also made a suggestion to Emperor Yan Ping, asking military advisor Zhang Guang to serve as the new prefect. Zhang Guang was also the number one scholar in Taizong's later years, so it was more than enough to serve as the prefect. As for what Emperor Yan Ping wanted to think about, he couldn't control it.
After settling the affairs in the city, Li Jun was finally able to free up his hands to completely solve the problem of Yeluo tribe.
