Chapter 97: Liu Zhen's Mission

Although Liu Zhen knew in his heart that this boy must be flattering him, he also felt comfortable. After all, this boy was not like other officials who were trembling when they saw him, and even flattered him without saying anything but wise and powerful.

Everyone else praised him for his wisdom, martial arts, and longevity, but Li Yi said that his body and bones were still healthy and he could still ride a horse and hunt.

Hunting on horseback? This feeling is really a relaxed, casual, and even wanton sense of joy that he has not seen for a long time.

"Uu——" Liu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Li Yi with a pair of deep eyes, and then said: "I am recruiting you this time because there is something that needs you to do."

Li Yi saw that the eyes of the old man opposite him were shining, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He seemed to be a little happy, knowing that his flattery was exactly on point.

However, you can't just let me rest for a few days? I just came back from Linshui, what do you want me to do again? However, this emperor is straightforward. Compared with him, Zhang Xuan is just beating around the bush.

A girl!

Li Yi laughed and said: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to do, just issue a decree. I will try my best to do it!"

This guy didn't say anything, he just said that he would do his best - ahem, the underlying meaning is that if you try your best and still can't do it, then don't blame me!

"Look at this." Liu Zhen casually took out a memorial from the mahogany table beside him and threw it to Li Yi.

Li Yi took it with both hands, looked at it slowly, and saw that this memorial was different from ordinary memorials. The current memorial was originally written by a county governor named Song Wei in the south of the Yangtze River, about people's livelihood and water transport in the south of the Yangtze River.

Food, salt and other things that are not painful or itchy.

However, between the rows of handwriting, there are a few lines of small characters. These small characters were obviously written with special pen and ink. When they appear on the paper, they are blurry and difficult to read.

"Well?" Li Yi looked at it for a long time, but couldn't see clearly the small characters between the rows. He raised his head helplessly and said with a smile: "Well, this...can't see clearly..."

"Oh!" Liu Zhen responded, then raised his hand slightly, pointed at the purple sand teapot on the small table, and said in a low voice: "Spread it with tea."

Li Yi was stunned, my dear, the Han Dynasty actually has invisible ink now? However, since these few lines of small words can be delivered to Liu Zhen with invisible potion, it explains some problems.

Is it the Jiangnan inspector who wrote the letter who doesn't trust the middle part of the memorial, or is it that Mr. Song simply doesn't trust the Yushitai who is now sharing the government affairs for the emperor?

Li Yi suddenly thought of what Wu Xiaoming had told him before about the current censor Zhongcheng...

Combined with the secret memorial from Jiangnan in front of him, he had a vague hunch that this matter had absolutely nothing to do with the Wang family.

After smearing the letter with tea, the blurry small characters became clear. Li Yi lowered his head and frowned as he looked at it.

The content of the memorial is probably that a demonic sect called Tianlong Sect has recently appeared in the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. This demonic sect has many followers, and many of them are skilled in sorcery and Taoism. Ordinary officers and soldiers are no match for them.

This Tianlong Sect, under the banner of upholding justice for heaven, always does things that are outrageous to both humans and gods, such as bullying the people, amassing money wantonly, and even daring to intercept tax dollars sent to the capital.

In the county where the county governor is located, the people are already in dire straits.

The Song Wei master who wrote the memorial seemed to have the consciousness to fight to the death with the Tianlong Sect. He wrote at the end: "I have improperly governed my administration and have benefited from the country's deep benevolence for more than a hundred years. Today, I will be punished by tens of thousands of people."

I sacrifice my body for my country."

After reading the letter, Li Yi suddenly felt that the problem was very serious - first of all, it was natural that the Tianlong Sect had grown from a young age to the point where it had no authority to dare to rob taxes and money, and the news had only now reached the capital. Secondly, why was this

Will the county guard directly submit a memorial to the capital? Where is the commander-in-chief of Jiangsu and Zhejiang who is in charge of the military? In the end, of course it is the county guard, who may have been loyal to the country now...

Li Yi raised his head and sighed.

"Have you finished reading?" Liu Zhen squinted his eyes, his expression as calm as if the place where the cult took place was not entirely his personal territory.

Li Yi nodded, feeling suddenly a little heavy, heavier than the county guard named Song Wei. He had always admired loyalty. Although he would scold them for being foolish and loyal and pedantic, he admired them in his heart.

Now, this great loyal minister may have died for his country.

Liu Zhen was not moved by Li Yi's depressed mood. He tilted his head and said in a calm voice: "What do you think?"

"Behead!" Li Yi gritted his teeth and burst out two words from between his teeth.

"Oh?" Liu Zhen leaned forward slightly, seeming a little surprised by Li Yi's words, and then he became interested: "Who should be beheaded?"

Li Yi was originally squatting in front of the small table. At this moment, he carefully folded the memorial in his hand and placed it on the small table. Then he slowly stood up and said in a low voice: "The first one to be beheaded is to block the memorial."

People from Beijing."

Liu Zhen raised the corner of his mouth, seeming to appreciate Li Yi's judgment very much.

"The second person to be killed is the one who is corrupt and mediocre, colludes with evil cults, brings trouble to the imperial court, and leaves this county governor to fight alone."

"The third person to be killed is the leader of the Tianlong Sect."

After Li Yi finished talking about the three Dangzha in one breath, he felt a sense of relief in his chest and abdomen, as if all the previous gloomy energy had been dissipated.

"Okay!" Liu Zhen's voice was still as calm as ever, but the appreciation in his eyes was clearly visible.

After saying hello, he propped up the armrest of the chair with interest, stood up, and looked at Li Yi carefully up and down.

The old man has a somewhat curved back and gray hair, so no matter how energetic he is, it is difficult to conceal the traces of the cycle of heaven and the years.

"How about you go and do this for me?" Liu Zhen's eyes were not very good. After looking at him for a long time, he finally got a rough look at Li Yi. Seeing that this boy's features were clear and handsome, he felt even more satisfied.

——This old man is good at everything else, but he doesn’t really like ugly-looking people. It is said that one year during the imperial examination, the number one scholar in the palace examination was demoted to second place because his appearance was too ugly...

It certainly didn't feel good to be stared at almost face to face for a long time. Li Yi felt extremely uncomfortable. He knew in his heart that the person in front of him had an eye disease, but it still felt awkward...

Now that I hear the emperor's words, I have been asked to do this hard job. Can I turn it down? Besides, I guaranteed the ticket before, and it was also a big talk...

Li Yi curled his lips and said with a wry smile: "The little one will naturally do his best..."

"You are the deacon of the Qin Taoist Supervisor, how can you call yourself young like a slave?" The door was pushed open, and Zhang Xuan walked in with a smile. This peeping tom had obviously been eavesdropping outside before, and now he pointed out Li Li as soon as he came in.
