Chapter 39 Pre-emptive strike
"County Lord, you can't kill me, you will regret it if you kill me." Xie Ji said loudly, he expected that the county magistrate would not dare to kill him.
"What a joke, why don't I dare to kill you if you commit the following crime?" Changling County Magistrate said with a smile, I will kill you if I want to, and I need a reason, and I will regret it. He has killed many people, but I have never seen him treat me like this.
Talking.
"My Lord, don't you feel strange? Don't you wonder why I don't kneel to you and why I dare to talk to you like this? Do you think I am not prepared for anything?"
Xie Ji was calm and composed. He became more courageous after going through the robbery of the bandit. It can be said that he acted closer to his original self. Taishan collapsed but his expression remained unchanged, and he preferred to play psychological warfare.
"Why?" Changling County Magistrate asked, yes, why is this person in front of him not afraid of him at all, and still chatting and laughing in front of him? If other people would be frightened, they would kneel down and beg for mercy. However, why is he different from others? Is it true?
Rely on, that’s why you’re not afraid?
"Why? Because I have a relationship with the Prime Minister, so I am not afraid. I have a friend who works in the Prime Minister's Mansion and is favored by the Prime Minister. I came to inspect Changling County on his order. The Prime Minister plans to personally inspect Changling.
Now it seems that the county minister is very disappointing!"
Xie Ji spoke calmly, as if he was talking about something insignificant. He learned from his original memory that the key to defeating the enemy was to take the initiative and strike first. And he had to speak calmly and with a mature expression.
Don't be timid before fighting. Once you are timid, you will lose a little bit of confidence and have a flaw. It is very likely that this flaw will lead to a missed opportunity for decisive victory.
No matter where you are, you must be calm, find the right opportunity to counterattack, and take the initiative. Strike first and control others later. This is what I do. I like to take the initiative. Even if I am temporarily controlled by others, I will find a way to break through the siege.
of.
"Who is your friend?" Changling County Magistrate asked. Why did he have an ominous premonition and always felt that there was a dark cloud looming over the situation.
"As a friend, of course it's Meng Tao, the prime minister's chief envoy. I have had a close relationship with him." Xie Ji slowly said, Meng Tao is one of his assistants. The prime minister's residence not only has the chief envoy, but also the prime minister's younger brother.
Envoys, etc., assist the prime minister in handling daily affairs, delivering messages, and organizing documents.
The official position is not big, but not small either. And with the prime minister as their backer, few people will mess with them.
As soon as Xie Ji said these words, the Changling County Magistrate looked sad. This is really difficult to handle. If he died here, then his friend would have to find out the cause of his death and find out that it was a good thing he did.
He might take the opportunity to retaliate against him, which would be difficult to handle.
However, the person in front of him can't be his lover.
Xie Ji wanted to make the county magistrate throw himself into a trap, so he had to use both soft and hard tactics. If he found that he was destined to die, he might be buried with him even if he died.
"Your Excellency, I came here to inspect Changling County on the order of my friend. After all, the Prime Minister is going to travel, so it is natural that everything should be done flawlessly. It is only right to make the Prime Minister happy."
"If this arrangement is done properly, the Prime Minister will be delighted, and there will naturally be many benefits for me." Xie Ji said this to tell the Changling County Magistrate that he has no intention of going against you, as long as the Prime Minister is happy, it will be worth it.
"This, what you said is true?" The Changling County Magistrate still looked a little uninterested. The Prime Minister was coming, so he had to make preparations first to welcome the Prime Minister's arrival. As long as he served the Prime Minister well, he would be promoted and make a fortune.
In front of you.
But he obviously thought too much. Xie Ji wanted him to lure the wolf into the house, no, to lure his people in.
As long as Meng Tao brings the army and appears again, it will be no longer up to him. Then let the Changling County magistrate pay the price for his actions.
"Am I lying to you here? The Prime Minister will naturally come to Changling County." He has already arrived. I am not lying to you, but I am here to be punished by you.
"Then, when will it arrive?" Changling County Magistrate asked, he was ready.
"I asked Liu Shui to go to Hengyang County to spread the news to my friend that everything is well in Changling County. When everything is ready, the Prime Minister will arrive soon." Xie Ji said, now I will let you be arrogant for a few more days and prepare yourself for the last time in your life.
Have a carnival.
"This... what do you think?" Changling County Magistrate was a little moved, but if it was fake, wouldn't he just let someone go for nothing?
"Your Majesty, the man in front of you is making ridiculous claims, half-truths and half-falsehoods. It's unbelievable. If he really had a sworn relationship with the prime minister, why is he still a commoner now? This man is weird from beginning to end."
"I think the person in front of me seems to be a man who confuses right and wrong and stirs up trouble. If the Prime Minister really sends someone to investigate, he will naturally not reveal his identity. What's more, if he declares his identity in front of the county magistrate, I think it is most likely a lie. Don't.
Being taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, not to mention that Hengyang County has been completely sealed off and now even a fly can't fly in. How can a living person get in?" said a subordinate, speaking with reason.
Xie Ji frowned a little, but continued: "If I lie to you, I am in your hands now, wouldn't it be easy for you to kill me? As for the city gate blockade, I have my own way to get in."
"Okay, I'll wait for you for seven days. Don't try to escape my sight during these seven days. Let your servants report it. After seven days, if the prime minister doesn't come, I will let you know the price of deceiving me." Changling County Magistrate
You are right, this person is in my hands, what kind of evil will he do?
"Okay, okay." Xie Ji nodded calmly. After seven days, we will see whether it is my end or your end.
"By the way, what do you think the Prime Minister wants to see most?" Changling County Magistrate began to ask Xie Ji about the Prime Minister's preferences, and it would be useful to prescribe the right medicine.
"The Prime Minister cares about the people of the world, and naturally wants to see the country and the people in peace, with everyone living and working in peace and contentment, with their yellow hair hanging down, and enjoying themselves." This is what he thinks. The life in Peach Blossom Spring is really good.
As soon as these words came out, the Changling County magistrate's face was so wrinkled that he almost became deformed. If the prime minister wanted money, he would collect it. If he wanted a beautiful woman, that would be fine, but if he wanted a peach paradise, how could that be possible?
However, it is understandable for the man in front of him to say this. He is naturally trying to flatter the Prime Minister. How could he have guessed what the Prime Minister really wants.
What's more, the prime minister is a well-known traitorous minister. He knows very well what a traitor likes. Isn't it just that more money is better, bringing official power to the public, and adding fragrance to his daily life? Besides these, what else is there?
As for what this person said about his yellow hair hanging down and his contentment, it was just talk, at least it was acceptable on the surface.
"Okay, I will go and create a scene of peace and tranquility for the country and the people." To create a scene, it is so simple, just drive away the people in rags, and let some officers and soldiers act as civilians to accompany him in the play.
Thinking about it this way, I am one step closer to getting promoted and making a fortune.
"Also, take him to the county government office. Don't let him escape. I will go deal with important matters right now." Changling County Magistrate was still a little hesitant and simply put him under house arrest in the county government office. If he deceived himself,
, just wait for the head to fall to the ground.
Xie Ji frowned. If he was imprisoned in the county government office, what if the county magistrate took the opportunity to do bad things?
"I want to be with the County Lord. I know the Prime Minister a little bit. If the County Lord doesn't understand anything, you can ask me. I am willing to answer the County Lord." Xie Ji doesn't like to be under house arrest, let alone, look at this Changling County
With Ling's appearance, he might do something terrible.
"No, just stay at the county government office for seven days!" Don't even think about running away. What if you take the opportunity to run away, or what if you screw up?
"Then can I have a word with Liu Shui?" Xie Ji said unwillingly. If he could explain it, that would be fine.
"Is there something that cannot be said in person? Are you going to say something detrimental to me?" Changling County Magistrate said, he would not be so easy to fool.
Xie Ji couldn't help it, so he looked at Liu Shui and took Liu Shui's hand. When Liu Shui was surprised, he smiled lightly and said: "Liu Shui, you must tell Meng Changshi how friendly the county magistrate here is. There are many people under the rule of Changling County Magistrate."
In this way, people can live and work in peace and contentment."
"The Prime Minister can come here for inspection and experience what it means to have fun with the people."
