Chapter 184: Confrontation

"Hahaha, Lord Yan and this king were worried the same at the beginning. Lin Jue, please show your true face as a good friend. Guo Bing laughed.

Lin Jue nodded, and turned to the man with a hat standing beside him: "Mu Qing, have you seen Lord Yan." ”

The man slowly took off the hat on his head, and his hair fell down like a waterfall, revealing a beautiful and beautiful face. She is Gao Muqing. Gao Muqing slowly stepped forward and saluted Yan Zheng, "The folk girl Gao Muqing has seen Lord Yan. ”

Yan Zheng was stunned and pointed at Gao Muqing and said, "She, she is ......"

"That's right, Lord Yan, she is the female bandit leader on Guishan Island." Guo Bing laughed.

Yan Zheng solemnly changed color, and shouted in a deep voice: "Come on, take down this person for me immediately." ”

When the official outside the door heard the words, he was about to enter, and Guo Kun shouted coldly: "Who dares." ”

More than a dozen guards blocked the officials, holding the hilt of their swords and glaring angrily.

Yan Zhengsu said coldly: "Lord Wang, little Lord Wang, you guys are making a big joke." She is a bandit wanted by the imperial court, and you actually brought her to the official's mansion. I'm afraid that's not right. ”

Guo Bing smiled and said: "Lord Yan, this king knows that you are jealous and hateful, but this Gao girl is the key person in this plan, she is willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, Lord Yan doesn't even give you a chance?" The bandit village on Guishan Island is also a big disaster for the imperial court, and this high girl is willing to make up for her mistakes in exchange for the imperial court's recruitment of the cottage. This move is very beneficial to the imperial court, but Lord Yan wants to take her instead, what does this mean? ”

Yan Zhengsu said coldly: "Lord Wang, how can you believe the words of the bandits? She is the bandit leader of Guishan Island, a person wanted by the imperial court, and the prince should take it down directly when he sees this person, and then make a calculation. ”

Guo Bing frowned and was silent, unable to answer for a while in the face of Yan Zhengsu's accusation.

"Lord Yan, I guarantee the head of the item. Miss Gao sincerely wants to contribute, and she has no second heart. Lin Jue shouted.

Yan Zhengsu swept his eyes at Lin Jue and said, "Your head, how much is that worth?" Are you sure? In the event of an accident, tens of thousands of soldiers, the lives of millions of people in Hangzhou, can your head be guaranteed? ”

"What about my head? Can it be guaranteed? Guo Kun said loudly.

Yan Zhengsu shouted coldly: "Even the head of the little prince can't be guaranteed." All the people here are not enough to vouch. ”

Guo Bingqi's face was red, and Guo Kun said sharply: "Yan Zhengsu, you are also presumptuous." ”

Yan Zhengsu said coldly: "Little prince, this official has not investigated why the prince and the little prince are willing to vouch for this female bandit." Privately befriending bandits, is it the work of the prince and the little prince? ”

Guo Kun said angrily: "You...... Daring! ”

Yan Zhengsu said coldly: "Little prince, please pay attention to your words. This official is the official of the imperial court, this is the official yamen, the prince and the little prince are used to shouting at the servants, don't they regard the official as those people? ”

"You!" This time, Guo Bing finally couldn't bear it anymore, and stood up suddenly, his eyes glaring at Yan Zhengsu.

Lin Jue saw that the situation was not good, and he knew that Yan Zhengsu's bull temper was coming up. I have heard that this person is stubborn for a long time, but I didn't expect to be stubborn to the point of being a little paranoid. After seeing Gao Muqing, he immediately turned his face and wanted to take someone, but he didn't even give the prince and the little prince face, he was really a person with a fierce personality and courage.

"Lord Yan, Lord Wang, Little Lord Wang, you are all discouraged. This matter started because of me, Mu Qing is my friend, you don't have to quarrel about this matter. If you want to take Mu Qing, even I will take it together, and I will be the one who is the bandit. Lin Jue said in a deep voice.

Yan Zhengsu turned to Lin Jue and shouted: "Lin Jue, you are not upright, you have a personal relationship with bandits, and you don't want to make progress all day long, but you get involved in these things. Are you worthy of your husband? Yes, not only will you take this female bandit today, but you won't be able to run away, and even you will have to take it. ”

Lin Jue's anger rushed upward, and he suddenly found that he couldn't make sense with this Lord Yan. finally couldn't bear it anymore and blurted out: "Lord Yan, I can't run away, so what about you?" ”

Yan Zhengsu shouted: "What do you mean? How is this house? ”

Lin Jue said coldly: "There are bandits rampant inside and outside Hangzhou, and the safety of the people cannot be guaranteed, do you, the prefect of Hangzhou, have any responsibilities?" As a parent official, he protects the peace of the people. This is a crown, but I haven't seen the slightest action from Governor Yan. ”

"Presumptuous, you dare to spread this rumor? Alarmist? I'm afraid that the rumors about Hangzhou Mansion that the saint heard were made up by people like you. This is the master of the rumor. Yan Zhengsu said coldly.

Lin Jue sneered: "Rumors? Do I need to spread rumors about what I have personally experienced? Over the past few months, I have been intercepted and killed by pirates several times; A few days ago, on the bustling street in the city, my maidservant girl was almost kidnapped by pirates. Dare to ask Lord Yan, outside the city and inside the city, the bandits are unimpeded, swaggering to come and go, killing and hijacking everything, are you, the prefect, responsible? ”

"Is there such a thing?" Solemnly solemn.

"I said, please ask Lord Yan to check. Now that we're trying to exterminate the pirates, you're here to care about the details. Miss Gao is indeed the owner of Guishan Island, but she hopes to exchange this move for the identity change of Guishan Island and become an ordinary person of my Great Zhou Dynasty, which is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people. Otherwise, it is not the blessing of the country and the blessing of the people. ”

“……”

“……”

Everyone looked at Lin Jue in surprise, this kid really dared to say, pointing his nose and counting solemnly, this is not something ordinary people dare to do. Even the prince and his son can't talk like that. Moreover, it is an extremely serious accusation to say that Yan Zhengsu is not a blessing for the country and the people, and this is already the most serious accusation in this era when official reputation is extremely important.

Unexpectedly, Yan Zhengsu did not get angry as he imagined, but frowned thoughtfully. All his attention was attracted by what Lin Jue had just said about being intercepted and killed, and the abduction of the maidservant girl in the family. If this matter is serious, the bandits are really rampant, and the prefect of himself has indeed neglected the law and order of Hangzhou.

"What you just said, you were intercepted and killed, but the matter of your maidservant in your family is the truth?" In silence, Yan Zhengsu asked slowly.

"Hmph, if it weren't for Miss Gao's action, I would have died several times at this moment. Many people in my family are witnesses to the green dance of the maidservant. Those were the work of pirates. Adults can go and check it out. The bodies of the pirates were buried in the woods on the mountainside of Matsuyama, and if I hadn't wanted to publicize it, it would have caused a storm in the city. Lin Jue said coldly.

"What Lin Jue said is true, Lin Jue informed me of this, and I personally took someone to check it. It was the corpse of the pirates, undoubtedly. The body was buried in a pit dug by my people. The little prince Guo Kun echoed beside him.

Yan Zhengsu was silent for a long time, frowned and looked at Lin Jue and asked, "Why did the bandits intercept you?" ”

"Why? Isn't it because of the birthday gift? I got the help of the tall village master, killed the second village master in her cottage and regained the birthday gift. But the second village master is the son of Hai Dongqing, the leader of the bandits, and now he has come to take revenge on me, and after killing me, he will go to deal with the tall village master. It is precisely because of this that the owner of Gao Dazhai and I are willing to actively contribute to the elimination of bandits for those of you who have nothing to do. On the contrary, the prefect doubted the motives of the tall village owner. Another day, Hai Dongqing put the knife on the neck of your Yan Governor's Mansion, and the people in the city didn't even dare to go out, you, the prefect, knew how ridiculous your suspicions were. Lin Jue said angrily.

Even the prince and his son felt that Lin Jue's attitude was too bad. Although Yan Zhengsu is indeed hateful, accusing him of being unworthy of being an official before, and now saying that he has nothing to do, this is already a great insult to officials. If Yan Zhengsu gets angry, I'm afraid Lin Jue will be bad.

Gao Muqing, who was standing quietly on the side, obviously realized this, she was actually quite comforted in her heart, Lin Jue was already very moved by her for her to openly contradict the prefect.

Gao Muqing gently pulled Lin Jue's arm and said, "Don't be like this, talk to the prefect well." ”

Lin Jue was dumbfounded: "What else do you say?" He doesn't believe us, and we can't take any chances. We are actually more unlucky this time, I don't know if we can come back alive, and we are still suspicious, what are we trying to do? Let's go, it's a big deal if I leave Hangzhou and hide, Hangzhou will sooner or later become a place of bandits, so it's better to leave early. ”

Lin Jue said, took Gao Muqing's arm, turned around and left.

Yan Zhengsu frowned and shouted, "Where to go?" ”

Lin Jue turned around and said, "The prefect, don't you want to take down Miss Gao?" Miss Gao was invited by me to help, she is also my life-saving benefactor, I don't care if she is a bandit or a citizen, if you want to take her today, you will kill me first. ”

Yan Zhengsu shouted: "Lin Jue, where did you read the book?" Is there anyone as willy as you are? If you are so uneducated, how will you do things in the future? This Gaozhai lord is the leader of the bandits, even if the government takes her on the spot, it is also the responsibility of the government, but will you threaten her? ”

Gao Muqing said coldly: "Does Governor Yan really want to take Mu Qing?" Although I am Gao Muqing, I am a woman, but I also know the overall situation. If the prefect wants to take me, he will lead his troops to capture my cottage, instead of taking me here while I am here, and spreading it is not a joke to teach people. ”

Yan Zhengsu smiled and said: "This mansion was taught righteousness by a bandit leader today, I really never dreamed of it. This tall village master, if this mansion insists on taking you today? How should you? ”

Gao Muqing said coldly: "Since Mu Qing dares to come, he is not afraid of dying here." It's a big deal that the blood will be spattered ten steps, and they will all be destroyed. ”

The prince and his son secretly shouted badly, Lin Jue's words were not disrespectful, this Gao Muqing actually spoke without measure, what blood was splashed in ten steps, isn't this a blatant threat to Yan Zhengsu? I'm afraid the matter is irreparable.

However, Yan Zhengsu's laughter rang in their ears.

"Hehehe, it's really powerful, it's really bold. Lin Jue, why don't you take your owner friend to sit down? We haven't finished talking about our business yet, so how can we just leave? ”

"......" Everyone looked at Yan Zhengsu in surprise, not knowing what he meant.

"I'm just giving you a try. I want to see how bold you are. Now it seems that the two of you have decided to put life and death on the line. One pointed his nose and scolded Benfu, and the other threatened to kill Benfu, which made me think that you are not much worse than the pirates. Only in this way, in the tiger's den in Longtan, can you be comfortable and fearless. The two of you passed the test with me. Hehehe. Yan Zheng stroking his beard and smiled.

A group of people rolled their eyes, and the reversal came too suddenly, and everyone felt a little unnatural. It cannot be ruled out that this is Yan Zhengsu who gave himself a step down and found a reason for himself. But in any case, his statement is actually an endorsement of this strategy.
