The day had passed over the heads of the people, and after a little to the west, the governor's yamen was completely lively, and the various Tusi masters in Guilin City rode horses, sat in cars, and came to the meeting slowly under the escort of their own servants and guards.

You must know that the governor Yamen informed them this time that it was around Chenshi, and it was a big case like the assassination of King Jing, but these toast masters still came unhurriedly and didn't take it seriously at all.

These toasters are indeed qualified not to take the notice of the governor's yamen seriously, and it can even be said that they sometimes don't even pay much attention to Tang Guangchen, the governor of Guangxi. There is no way, who told them that their roots on the ground in Guangxi are too deep, and the power is too great, generally speaking, only the major officials and yamen ask them for help, and they hardly have to ask each other for help.

As the so-called hundred-year-old imperial court and thousand-year-old toast, although this is a little exaggerated, but on the ground in Guangxi, any big toast family has a history of hundreds of years, which is much longer than the Ming Dynasty, which has only been established for two hundred years. It is precisely because they have hundreds of years of inheritance and accumulation that their heritage is naturally far greater than that of the liuguan appointed by the imperial court, and the people here, whether Han Chinese or other ethnic groups, are also accustomed to living under the control of these Tusi and obeying their orders. To put it more seriously, even the orders given by the toasts are more authoritative than the decrees of the government.

This situation has continued for several dynasties in this southwest region, whether it is the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, it has never been the official government yamen that really has the final say, but their Tusi. At the time of the change of dynasties, for the sake of local stability, the imperial court would even try its best to further enhance the power of these Tusi families.

Of course, the kings in history did not have the idea of fighting these guys, after all, the side of the couch did not allow others to snore, but the complex folk conditions and rugged roads in these places have become a mountain that prevents the imperial court from completely pocketing these places.

The imperial court has such an attitude, and the liuguan who was appointed to come really did not have the courage and ability to fight with these Tusi families who had been inherited for hundreds of thousands of years, and over time, they became more and more arrogant, and they didn't even take the court very seriously.

At this time, the White Lotus Sect seized the opportunity, and after several years of hard work and lobbying, these Tusi masters, who were still a little content with the status quo, had some ideas about the Huahua world in the Central Plains, and gave birth to a rebellious heart.

Of course, these toasts are also extremely shrewd masters, even if they have intentions, but no one wants to be this bird, just waiting for chaos together, they can fish in troubled waters. It was with such thoughts, coupled with the contempt for local officials that made them know that this matter was serious, they still belatedly made it clear that they would not give the governor any face.

When these arrogant and arrogant toast masters were welcomed into the yamen, although the subordinate official Zhao Yu had a humble smile on his face, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. As a young official in his early thirties, who still has ideals and is full of poetry and books, the actions of these people are really terrible.

But even if he was dissatisfied in his heart, when facing them, he still had to smile humbly, arch and hunch, and lead people to the side hall of the second hall like a slave serving the master of the family. After being busy for more than half an hour, the big and small toasts in the city arrived one after another, and only two or three big toasts were left before they arrived.

"......" Zhao Yu was taking them into the hall and ordering the people below to watch the tea and was waiting for the next group of guests at the gate, when he heard a certain toast on the side beckoning to him. Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Zhao Yucai walked over with a smile: "What does Master Tian command?" Although the other party will not remember his last name, he will only belch and scream, but he must remember the identity of these toast masters.

Tian Tusi leaned lazily on the chair and squinted at Zhao Yu: "We are all here, why haven't we seen Governor Tang come out to meet the guests?" He didn't dare to treat us so slowly. ”

When he opened his mouth, he immediately provoked the echo of other toasts: "Yes, what about Governor Tang, he called us here, but he hid, what kind of reason is this?" ”

"Go, hurry up and call Governor Tang, I really have something to look for him." ……

For a while, many toasts sent a message to Zhao Yu, asking him to hurry up and call the governor, so that they were all about to become the bosses of the governor of a province. In this regard, Zhao Yu could only explain with a wry smile again: "Don't be anxious, you lords, it really happened suddenly, you are late again, our adults are unfortunately doing things in the Jingwang Mansion now, I'm afraid it is impossible to come to see you immediately." ”

"Oh?" When the toasts heard him say this, they didn't continue to investigate. Indeed, they had been delayed for too long after receiving the letter, and the governor could not have waited for them all the time.

Then, Zhao Yu said again: "A few toasts don't have to be anxious, the lower officials have already asked someone to rush to Jingwang's Mansion to report the news, presumably it won't be long before the adults will be able to come." ”

"Well, that's the best, you know, we all have a lot of things on our hands, so we can't delay here for too long." Tian Tusi nodded in agreement. But then, he narrowed his eyes again: "By the way, what happened to the Jingwang Mansion last night?" King Jing, he didn't make any mistakes, right? "Until then, they still haven't gotten any definite information on this.

When the other toasts heard him ask about this, they pricked up their ears with concern and turned their heads to look at Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu was obviously stunned for a moment, of course he knew what the outcome of this matter was, but the adult didn't tell him how to reply.

"King Jing is finished, and he was killed on the spot by the assassins." At this moment, a domineering and hoarse voice came in from the door, and everyone followed the sound to see Li Muda and the other two toasts walking in front and back.

As soon as they saw him coming, they all got up from their seats, and came to greet him with smiles on their faces. Li Muda is the leading toast in Guilin and even Guangxi, and there are dozens of tribes under his command who obey orders, and his status in the city is naturally extremely high, far above the governor Tang Guangchen.

Later, after inviting Li Muda to take a seat, they asked, "Is this true?" King Jing was really killed? ”

"Of course, although the palace wants to hide this, it can't hide it from me." Li Muda glanced at Zhao Yu with self-sufficiency, and the latter could only smile a little embarrassedly, not daring to show any dissatisfied look.

"Speaking of which, you Han people are really useless, such a royal mansion, you actually called a group of assassins to mix in. That's it, in the end, they were actually allowed to succeed, and it is really incredible that a dignified prince died at the hands of those assassins. Li Muda glanced at Zhao Yu with some contempt: "If this happens to us, let alone my Li family, if you change the mansion of any family, it is not something that those assassins can enter casually." Do you say yes or no? ”

"That's natural, all the people under our hands are good hands, don't want any assassins to get involved." Several toasts echoed.

As soon as they said this, Zhao Yu's face was even more unbearable, and after a little hesitation, he still bowed his hand to everyone and said, "Everyone, there are still some things in the lower officials, which have to be dealt with first." Without waiting for them to react, he hurried out of the hall.

As soon as they saw his embarrassed appearance, all the toast masters let out a burst of laughter, they naturally knew why the other party left, what was the errand, it was just an excuse.

When only a group of toasts remained in the hall, these people seemed more casual, and the laughter kept ringing out. But only Li Muda, at this time, his expression became serious, and he talked to Tian Tusi beside him, and another Tusi surnamed Hei, both of whom were big toasts with a lot of power in Guilin City.

"Did you notice anything wrong with this yamen after you entered it? Is there an ambush here? Li Muda asked.

The two of them were obviously stunned for a moment, and they couldn't keep up with the rhythm of Li Da Toast. Then Tian Tusi said: "I don't feel it, it's just that there seem to be fewer servants in this yamen today than usual." ”

"What's so strange about this, they must have all gone to King Jing's Mansion, there is such a big incident there, someone has to deal with the aftermath, right?" Hei Tusi was immediately stunned again: "Brother Li, what do you mean by this?" Is there anything wrong with this meeting today? ”

Li Muda told him about the warning he received from Xu Chongchuan, and said with a frown: "Although I don't believe they have the courage, they are still a little uneasy." That's why I'm here to discuss with you and see what to do about it. ”

The two of them fell into deep thought, and after a while, they said, "If this thing is true, it will be troublesome." We are all here, and if the people of the government attack our house at this time and take all our people, it will be very difficult to do. ”

"I'd rather believe it, let's go back first. It's just that he offended him, and Tang Guangchen is like that! Tian Tuji finally concluded.

Li Muda also nodded. He didn't plan to come, but thinking that this time the whole city Tusi had been invited to the governor's yamen, and if he didn't arrive, he couldn't say it, so he rushed here. But since he had some doubts, he naturally wouldn't wait here stupidly, so he said that he moved two companions, and with these three big toasts taking the lead, the others would naturally not continue to stay here.

As soon as he finished speaking, the toasts who had been sitting there lazily got up from their seats......
