Wang Yuantai was stunned for a moment, then opened his throat and shouted down: "Li Hao, I know you want to enter the city, but you can't pretend to be an official, it's a big crime to pretend to be an assassin......"

As soon as Li Hao heard this, his nose suddenly turned crooked, and he stretched out his hand: "Lu Yun, bring the holy decree!" ”

Lu Yun handed the holy decree to Li Hao, Li Hao tore open the holy decree and shouted loudly: "The holy decree has arrived!" ”

"Whoa!" The five hundred right guards in the rear knelt down with a brush, the sound of armor colliding was like thunder, and the others also knelt down when they saw this, Wang Yuantai was startled, and hurriedly asked all the soldiers at the head of the city to kneel.

Li Hao recited aloud his previous decree, and after reading it, he said loudly: "I will open the city gate quickly, otherwise I will send someone to forcibly attack the city!" ”

Wang Yuantai was frightened when he heard this, and after hesitating for a moment, he hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened, Li Hao asked Peng Hai to camp outside the city with the right guard, and he took the caravan and others into the city.

As soon as Li Hao passed through the city gate, he saw Wang Yuantai kneeling on the street with four soldiers and shouting: "Wang Yuantai, the commander of the right Guoyi of the Weifu Mansion in the inferior court, meet Lord Assassin Shi!" ”

"Captain Guoyi?" Li Hao was slightly startled when he heard this, turned over and dismounted and walked in front of him to help him up, and scolded with a smile, "You guy has been promoted very quickly, and you have become the captain of Guoyi." ”

Wang Yuantai's old face turned red, and he smiled with a smile: "No matter how fast you are, you can't catch up with you, you are already a feudal official." ”

"You still know that I am a feudal official." Li Hao said angrily, "I asked you to open the city gate for me, but you didn't open it!" Listen to that bullshit! Believe it or not, I'll pump you! He raised his hand as he said and made a gesture to twitch.

Wang Yuantai hurriedly shrank his head, ready to let him smoke, Li Hao slapped him lightly on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "How do you say that you are also an old friend for many years, this time you can meet in Tingzhou, there is a feeling of seeing a fellow countryman, how about it, surprised, not surprised?" ”

Wang Yuantai grinned happily and nodded like garlic: "Surprise, really surprise, I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

"What an adult! What you! Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said unhappily when he heard this, "If you are like this again, I can turn my face, everyone is an old friend, I call you Yuantai, you call me poetic, poeticism is my watchword, given by the emperor." ”

"Wow!" Wang Yuantai looked at Li Hao with a look of admiration, his eyes were about to glow, what kind of concept it was to be able to get the emperor's imperial gift, he couldn't imagine it, and he was now a feudal official, this is simply the rhythm of heaven.

Li Hao raised his head and pretended to enjoy Wang Yuantai's adoring gaze, if being an official was not to pretend to be forced, then it would be meaningless.

Li Hao was about to enjoy Wang Yuantai's worship for a while, but Wang Yuantai had already turned off the worship mode, coughed lightly, and asked, "Big ...... That one...... Lord Poet, will I take you to the Assassin's Mansion now? ”

"No! I haven't had enough yet! Li Hao raised his hand and said loudly, "Ben Thorn Shi came to Tingzhou to take up his post, but except for you, no official came to meet him, where is Ben Thorn Shi's face!" ”

"Uh......" Wang Yuantai hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you want to ...... The lowly now summons them to meet the adults? ”

Li Hao looked up at the sun overhead, it was strange, he thought about it, and waved his hand: "That's it, let's go to the Assassin's Mansion first, let them go to the Assassin's Mansion to see me." ”

Wang Yuantai turned his head to the four soldiers beside him and said, "Have you heard the words of Lord Assassin Shi, go and summon the officials of Tingzhou, and let them quickly go to the Assassin Mansion to meet the new Lord Assassin Shi!" ”

"Yes!" The four soldiers took the order and walked away.

Li Hao glanced at Wang Yuantai with a smile: "It's a small example, it's quite good to call people, keep it, continue to keep it, if it's not to call your subordinates, then it's meaningless." ”

"Remember the big ...... Poet madness's teachings. ”

Li Hao waved his hand and said: "It sounds very awkward, in the future, in public, you and I will have a relationship between superiors and subordinates, so don't be too restrained in private, understand?" ”

Wang Yuantai digested this sentence attentively, roughly understood what he meant, and nodded: "Yes, my lord." ”

"Let's go, go to the Assassin's Mansion."

Under the leadership of Wang Yuantai, Li Hao and his entourage came to the Thorn History Mansion, and finally saw the brick wall building, it was not easy, but the dilapidated yard looked like a joke, and it felt like it was not as good as the farmer's house in Shanghe Village, and the area was a little larger, and the courtyard wall collapsed for a while, and there were two big cracks in the courtyard wall on both sides of the door, from the wall to the corner of the wall, and it felt like the gate would fall down at any time.

Seeing Li Hao's dull eyes, Wang Yuantai explained with a dry smile: "When you are an official, you don't repair the government, so this Tingzhou Thorn History Mansion has not been repaired since it was established, so you will use it." ”

"That's a lot of work." Li Hao complained, "Seeing this broken courtyard wall and door, I can almost imagine what it looks like inside. As he spoke, he raised his feet and walked in, only to see that there was no rockery, no flower beds, no green plants, no decoration and green plants in the desolate yard, just an empty yellow earth, no, there was a flock of sheep here, there were more than 20 sheep, and the yard was full of sheep feces.

"This ...... What a situation! Li Hao glared and exclaimed.

Wang Yuantai explained embarrassedly: "After the death of the previous assassin, this assassin's mansion has been empty, and it just so happens that the sheepfold in Zuo Guoyi's Du Wei Yunmeng's house is not enough, so he will borrow it ......here for the time being."

"Enough!" Li Hao didn't wait for him to finish, then interrupted him angrily, "It's too much to deceive people, this is the Assassin's Mansion, the official office!" A place that represents the majesty of the imperial court! He actually dared to use it to make a sheepfold and be a lieutenant of Guoyi, right, Lao Tzu wrote down this account first, and liquidated it in the future, now! Slaughter all these sheep! ”

When Wang Yuantai heard this, he immediately exclaimed: "Absolutely not! Don't ......"

Before he finished speaking, all the special forces had already been dispatched, they were good at killing, and they had nothing to say about slaughtering sheep, only to see a figure shaking in the courtyard, blood bursting out, and more than 20 sheep were all lying on the ground, and the courtyard was full of blood.

Wang Yuantai was stunned in place, dumbfounded, and didn't know what to say for a while, Li Hao waved his hand: "Wang Yuantai, throw these dead sheep on the street for me, and then clean the yard, if I see the slightest blood stain, don't be a captain of Guoyi, and punish you to go to the Weifu to clean the toilet." ”

"Huh?" Wang Yuantai was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly took the order.

Li Hao entered the Thorn Shi Mansion and looked around, it was as dilapidated as he imagined, and some roofs were even leaking, but fortunately, there was less rain and dry weather in Tingzhou, otherwise it was estimated that there would be mold everywhere.

After shopping, Li Hao said: "Lu Yun, tomorrow I will find some craftsmen to repair this roof, the winter in Tingzhou is very cold, I don't want to be frozen to death." ”

"Yes." Lu Yunjaw leader ordered.

Next, Li Hao wanted to look through the official documents, and found that the official cabinet was empty, and there was no official document, so he wondered, just Wang Yuantai was leading people to clean up in the courtyard, so he came to the courtyard and asked Wang Yuantai: "Yuantai, why don't you even have an official document in the yazhong?" ”

Wang Yuantai hesitated for a moment, and replied helplessly: "Since the death of the previous assassin, Cao Beijia has always been handling official business, and he has already moved all the official documents home. ”

"What's that?" Li Hao glared and shouted, "Move home?" Outrageous! Am I here to be funny! ”

Li Hao really moved his liver this time, this Cao Tian is really enough, and it is too rampant to seize power, he was about to scold, Lu Yun said softly beside him: "Don't be impatient, anger can't solve things." ”

Li Hao was woken up by his words, forcibly calmed down, returned to the seat in the yazhong and sat down, and began to discuss with Lu Yun how to regain his power, by the way, waiting for the officials of Tingzhou to come to see him, after waiting for a long time, he and Lu Yun have finished chatting, even Wang Yuantai and they have finished cleaning the yard, and no one has come to visit him, Wang Yuantai has been waiting here, and he does not dare to leave.

Another hour passed, it was almost dark, and there were still no officials to visit him, Li Hao was annoyed, slapped the table, got up and asked angrily: "Wang Yuantai, what is the situation, from the time I entered the city to now, to say the least, it has been three hours, why no one has come to visit me, is it that your subordinates have not been notified?" ”

The four summoned soldiers were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "My lord, the little one has summoned all the officials in the city according to the instructions of the adults, except for Cao Bei, who drove out of the city to do business, all the other officials have been summoned. ”

Li Hao's eyebrows twisted back and forth when he heard this, and he gradually felt that the water in this Tingzhou seemed to be not shallow, and waved his hand: "Everyone else retreats, Wang Yuantai stays." ”

"Yes!" Except for Lu Yun and Wang Yuantai, everyone else retreated.

Li Hao stepped down from his official position, came to Wang Yuantai, and asked: "Yuantai, tell me honestly, what is the situation in this Tingzhou City now, you know what I mean by this, don't pretend to be stupid." ”

Wang Yuantai saw Li Hao suddenly asking, he was a little panicked for a while, and his face was embarrassed, Li Hao said again: "You can rest assured and boldly say, with me covering you, even if you don't believe me, you should believe the five hundred right guards I brought." ”

Wang Yuantai hesitated for a moment, and finally made a decision, gritted his teeth, and sighed with a complicated expression: "Alas, poetry madness, you shouldn't have come to Tingzhou." ”

Li Hao smiled coldly when he heard this: "Is it because Cao Tian is here to cover the sky with one hand?" ”

Wang Yuantai was slightly surprised when he heard this: "You know everything?" ”

Li Hao said indifferently: "I just know a rough idea, the specific situation in the city, I still need you to explain it to me." ”

Wang Yuantai nodded, and began to speak, and when he finished speaking, Li Hao's eyebrows frowned, this Cao Tian is really covering the sky with one hand in Tingzhou, Tingzhou's long history, Sima, judge, record to join the army, record affairs, and Zuo Guoyi Lieutenant of Zhichong Mansion, these important positions are all Cao Tian's people, no matter which assassin comes to Tingzhou, they are all empty shelves, asking for money and no money, asking for no people, they are directly overhead, and they are placed in the yamen quietly as a decoration.

Not only that, Cao Tian has raised more than 300 minions privately, and I heard that he also has dealings with some horse thieves in the desert, which is simply black and white, but Wang Yuantai did not say anything about Cao Tian's collusion with Gao Chang, it is estimated that his level is too low to be worthy of knowing this kind of high-level secret.

Because Li Hao had been mentally prepared, after listening to Wang Yuantai's story, he was not too surprised, but asked lightly: "Yuantai, do you believe me?" ”

Wang Yuantai nodded: "Naturally believe you, if it weren't for you, how could I be in today's position." ”

Li Hao was a prescription to quell the plague, he was not the only one who was rewarded, all those involved in this matter were rewarded, although Wang Yuantai only helped Li Hao run an errand, but he was also promoted because of his insight, but the place where he was promoted and transferred was worse, it was actually Tingzhou, a bitter cold place, despite the difficult conditions, but in the end the position was upgraded by N grades, Wang Yuantai wanted to stay up for a few years, waiting for the transfer, waiting for four years, and actually waited for Li Hao.

Li Hao nodded and said: "Actually, I need you to cooperate with me to act in a play, if this scene is performed well, I guarantee that you can not only leave the ghost place of Tingzhou, but also be promoted to the third level." ”
