Chapter 483: Can this official still be competent?

Han En stood at the gate of Sui County and anxiously looked into the distance of the official road, according to reason, even if the cavalry from Thirty Libao to Sui County walked slower for an hour, it would arrive. But he had been standing in the cold wind for more than an hour and a half, and the sun was tilted to the west, and he had not yet waited for the patrol team to appear.

Two groups of people had already been sent out to investigate, but they didn't come back, so Han En's heart was getting tighter and tighter. So many people died in Sui County last night, which was enough to make people worry, in case that group of assassins killed the patrol envoy again, no matter how stupid Han En was, he would know that he couldn't get out of the relationship. Either run away or die, it is estimated that there is no other ending.

The death of Li Liao and others does not involve him, but it may be promoted because of this. But if the patrol envoy is intercepted and killed halfway, it is difficult to guarantee that Li Yuanshan's person will not be killed.

Han En lowered his voice and asked Li Er if he would send someone to take a look, and Li Er also felt that this matter was a little strange today, and he became nervous. Two groups of people who greeted the patrol envoy were sent out, but none of them came back, which is indeed a little weird.

"It's better for adults to bring a folding camp to greet us in person, if there is really any accident, we can't afford it."

Li Er thought for a while and said.

Han En nodded hurriedly: "Two two, you go and greet each other, bring the two Folding Camp, who knows where those assassins came from last night, if there are any ambushers on the way, it will be bad." ”

Li Er turned around to gather people, and when he turned around, he suddenly saw smoke and dust floating on the official road. He was startled, then pointed and asked, "General, is the patrol envoy here?" ”

Han En hurriedly picked up the clairvoyance and looked at it, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right, I remember that they inspected the green brocade robe of the guard, it should be right." ”

"Fast"

After putting down his clairvoyance, he ordered: "Let everyone be energetic and line up to greet the Inspector." ”

After a short time, the team on the official road arrived outside Sui County, and the dust and smoke were left behind by the horse team before swinging over after a while. Han En hurriedly stepped forward and saluted the person who was the leader. The face of the person sitting on horseback was tied with a dark green silk scarf to shield the smoke and dust, and the face could not be seen, but a pair of eyes were exceptionally bright. Although only half of his face was exposed, he could still tell that this should be an extremely beautiful young man.

Whether it's the forehead or the eyebrows, it's very pleasing to the eye.

The patrol envoy sitting on horseback wore a dark green brocade robe with a unicorn pattern embroidered on his chest. If it is according to the etiquette system of the Great Sui, this is a pattern that can only be embroidered on the chest of the national robe. This shows how great the power of this patrol envoy is, and it cannot but make people feel awe.

"Who are you?"

The inspector asked in a cold voice.

Han En hurriedly bowed his head and said: "The humble position is Han En, the five-grade tooth general stationed in Sui County, because the general Li Liao was assassinated last night, so he is the humble position here to greet the adults." When I heard that the Lord had arrived at the Thirty Mile Fort, I immediately went out to wait, and I had already sent two groups of people to greet the Lord after not seeing my lord's arrival for a long time, and I don't know if Lord Lu Dao had met it. ”

"Dead"

The inspector said two words coldly, and then was helped down from his horse by his own soldiers. He untied the scarf on his face, and walked towards the city gate after throwing away his own soldiers: "Han En, you said that Li Liao was assassinated last night, has the murderer been caught?" ”

Han En followed behind the patrol envoy, and his upper body bent forward slightly: "Lord Hui, the general was only discovered by his own soldiers in the morning of his assassination last night, and he immediately mobilized people to search for him throughout the city, but he didn't see the shadow of the assassin. He immediately sent people out of the city to inspect the city, but he has not yet returned. ”

"The ......"

He hesitated for a moment and asked, "The person sent by the lowly position is dead?" ”

"Hmm"

The inspector said as he walked: "The corpses were thrown on the side of the official road, about thirty or forty people, most of whom were killed by feather arrows...... Han En, the lord asked you to guard Sui County, have you done your duty? Soldiers who are more than ten miles out of the city can be shot to death, and even the main general is stabbed to death, is Sui County no longer under the rule of the lord? Aren't you the lord's soldiers?! ”

As soon as he finished asking these questions, Han Eun's body trembled with fright. He subconsciously went to look at Li Er, and Li Er hurriedly motioned for him to endure it.

Han En explained: "This happened only last night, and Sui County has always been peaceful...... The lowly has not yet understood what is going on, where did the strongman dare to commit such a blatant murder. However, it is speculated that nine times out of ten it was done by those vulgar people on the rivers and lakes. ”

"Take me to see the corpse."

The Inspector nodded and said.

Han En hurriedly led the way in front, and when he arrived at Li Liao's residence, the handsome inspector personally conducted an autopsy, and his face was very ugly. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Er approached Han En and said in a low voice: "My subordinates heard that one of the seven patrol envoys, Li Xiaolian, who was enshrined by the king of Dingxi, is a famous beautiful man in Xiangcheng. ”

Because the patrol envoys exchanged back and forth, Li Yuanshan arranged this way to prevent the patrol envoys from dereliction of duty. Therefore, the people below don't know who the next patrol envoy will be in the road.

Li Xiaolian is very famous in Xiangcheng, but Han Eun doesn't know him. It is said that the king of Dingxi highly respected this person and called him a genius of the Li family.

When people in Xiangcheng talk about the rising star of the Li family, when they mention Li Xiaoche of the three armies of the Yongguan, they will naturally mention Li Xiaolian who killed him in brocade.

It is said that Li Xiaoche has the courage of ten thousand people, and there is no one to stop the military formation, and he is known as the champion Hou. And Li Xiaolian was responsible for arresting the rebellion when he was in Xiangcheng, and no one who was targeted by him could escape, so he was called a fateful candidate.

Just when the two of them were whispering, Li Xiaolian stood up after inspecting the corpse, took the handkerchief handed by the soldier and wiped his hands: "It should be a person from the rivers and lakes, General Li's fatal wound is not in the clear place, it was the heart that was shattered by internal strength and died, this kind of cultivation, even the army can't find much." ”

Han En nodded hurriedly: "My lord knows everything. ”

"What about General Lee's family?"

Li Xiaolian sighed: "Speaking of which, I still want to call Li Liao brother, I didn't expect that I haven't met yet, but heaven and man are forever separated, take me to meet General Li's family, you go and pick some capable people, and escort General Li's family back to Xiangcheng later." This matter also needs to be reported to the lord, and a well-spoken and decent leader should be selected. ”

"Whoa"

Han En hurriedly responded and took Li Xiaolian to meet Li Liao's family.

……

……

Li Xiaolian, who was sitting behind the table, handed the thick roster handed over by Han En to the guards behind him: "Take the roster and check it, and finish it within two days, otherwise the military law will be involved." The number of people in each battalion must be ascertained, and if there is a matter of empty salary, I will not indulge it. ”

The guard took the name, held it in his arms, and took the person away. Han En hurriedly asked Li Er to cooperate, not daring to be careless.

"Although I can't tell you the arrangement of the lord yet, you should know that since the lord let you guard Sui County, it must have a reason, and I, as an inspector, can't be negligent. I will send someone to verify the roster one by one, and bring up the accounts of grain and grass. ”

Han En lowered his head and immediately handed over another account, and said cautiously: "Don't worry, my lord, General Li is doing things very carefully when he is here, and there will be no mistakes." These accounts are all for General Li's personal purposes, and they should be very complete. ”

"Hmm"

Li Xiaolian snorted, knowing what Han En meant by this. He waved his hand and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

Han En hurriedly excused himself, and said with a smile: "How many days are you going to stay in Sui County?" It is good to send people to wait. ”

"Up to three days"

Li Xiaolian said: "After checking the roster, you sent five hundred elites to escort a batch of grain and grass to Lezhen with me, because something happened to the granary, and the grain and grass in Lezhen have not been sent over for a while. ”

"Huh?"

Han En was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously glanced at Li Xiaolian.

Li Xiaolian seemed to be quite displeased with his voice, and his face immediately turned cold: "What, there is a problem?" ”

"Nope"

Han En hurriedly lowered his head and said, "I have listened to the dispatch of the adults, but is there less than five hundred, or is it a transfer to send a folding battalion to escort?" ”

"Not necessarily"

Li Xiaolian said lightly: "Han En, there is something you know. As an inspector, I have the right to arbitrarily make decisions on the spot, and if there is such a big change in your Sui County, if you send someone to Xiangcheng to ask the lord, it will take two months to go back and forth, and the army cannot be left without a master for a day...... As a general, you should have the responsibility of being a virtuous general, and if there is anyone in the army who is worthy of you to make a list, I will choose one of them to act as the chief general. ”

"Huh?"

Han En sighed again, and suddenly thought of Li Er's previous reminder, he looked left and right and leaned forward: "My lord, there is still a secret matter to report." ”

Li Xiaolian seemed to have guessed his intentions, waved his hand and ordered the guards to go out: "Say"

Han En took out the silver ticket that had been prepared long ago from his cuffs, held it in both hands and handed it over: "I am not talented, but I also have the heart to serve the lord, although I don't have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, but I have the courage and loyalty." The predecessors said that the virtuous do not avoid relatives, and there is no need to avoid self-recommendation for the lord, so the humble position will recommend himself to lead the army......"

Li Xiaolian squinted at the silver ticket, but did not reach out to take it. Han En hurriedly explained: "This is the silver ticket of Anxing, the largest ticket number in Xiangcheng, and it can be exchanged at any time......

Li Xiaolian still didn't pick it up, but just smiled meaningfully. Han En cursed in his heart, turned around and gave an order, and after a while, two personal soldiers came in with a large box: "This is the jewelry donated by the local squire to support the lord's army to break the enemy, please bring it back to Xiangcheng." ”

Where did the local squire come from, this box of jewelry is all Li Liao's things. It's just that this person is dead, Han En is in charge of the city, and Li Liao's family can't protect these belongings.

"Hmm"

Li Xiaolian nodded with satisfaction: "Come on, go and tell the people who check the roster that they don't have to check, take a break and set off to Lezhen." ”

Han En breathed a sigh of relief, and cursed the word shameless in his heart.

……

……

At dinner, Li Xiaolian took a sip of wine and said to Han En: "I thought about it before, Li Liao was killed, although the injury seems to be committed by people in the rivers and lakes, but it is difficult to guarantee that it was not the assassin who infiltrated the Sui army, and it is extremely important for the lord to arrange you in the west of Xiangcheng, if the Sui army's people will deploy the troops, it will not be good for the war situation." ”

He paused and said, "Laixian has been deserted, there is no army to garrison it, and it is only more than two hundred miles away from here, so it is not a conflict with the arrangement of the lord. For the sake of safety, you will ask the soldiers to prepare tomorrow, take half of the grain and grass, and set off to garrison Lai County. For the rest of the grain and grass, I will send someone to inform Shang Huoxi of Huile Town to personally send someone to fetch it. Something happened here in Sui County, if it was really done by the assassins of the Sui Army, it might not be safe on the side of Nale Town, and I would transfer Shang Huoxi to lead the troops to Qingshui to garrison. ”

Han En has been promoted to the fourth rank general, and the beauty in his heart is simply indescribable, at this time, he will listen to what Li Xiaolian says, where there will be doubts.

"After arriving in Laixian, I will inform the granary that the grain will be sent to Laixian in the future, in addition, I see that the equipment of your men and horses seems to be a little incomplete, I will personally send someone to Jinyang and send a batch of weapons and armor to you. As for your promotion...... I have already written the letter to the Ministry of War, and the reply will come back soon. ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Han Eun was simply happy and hurriedly thanked him.

"Let's hurry up and prepare tomorrow."

Li Xiaolian drank all the wine in the cup, stood up and smiled: "I'm tired, go back and rest." ”

Han En and the others hurriedly got up to send them off.

Li Xiaolian, who went out, took a deep breath, and then stretched his body with open arms. He glanced back at Han En and asked with a smile, "General Han, do you think this inspector is derelict in his duties?" If so, just say it. ”

Han En flattered: "There is no more admirable inspector than an adult, and the adult deserves it!" ”

"Ha Lu Ha"

Li Xiaolian laughed away, and Han En looked at his back and sighed, "When will I be able to lean like him?" Alas...... The one who has the power in his hands is the one who has good bearing. I also have Ling Yunzhi in my heart, and today I just stepped on the stepping stone, a good omen, a good omen! ”
