Chapter 49: Picking the Road (1)

A raging fire rose outside the hall. The Emperor Liu Chan of Shu Han walked to the fire and looked at the civil and military officials kneeling outside the hall and felt extremely happy. He raised his hand and Xu You's memorial and was thrown into the fire, but in a moment only ash was left floating in the wind. The eunuch behind him also poured into the fire with a stack of memorials. The fire rose into the sky and reflected on Liu Chan's body, as if a breath was emitted, making people unable to help but feel respect.

During the ten months, Liu Chan pardoned his ministers twice in succession, making everyone grateful. His loyalty to Liu Chan suddenly increased, and he worked very hard.

The property of the Chen family and the Xu family was quickly counted. Gold, silver, jewelry, and houses and fields were all surprising numbers. But it was not uncommon. Who would have achieved Chen and Xu You’s position in the past fewer than these two. What surprised Liu Chan was that the Chen and Xu families had 30,000 tenants in Chengdu and Shu County, and the Shu State had only 330,000 households. Liu Chan knew that the powerful families of the aristocratic families were very powerful, but he never thought that they could be so powerful. This was just a number in Shu County. The two families also had a lot of assets in other counties, and it was still unknown how many tenants would be.

Chen Shi and Xu You had such strength but had no intention of treason and usurping the rebellion. He wanted to be a powerful minister, which had to be said to be sad. When Liu Chan was in his original form, he let the two families taste the sweetness. After being traveled through time, Liu Chan gathered power for the royal family and stood on the opposite side. It was not important whether this was inevitable or accidental. What was important was that Shu Kingdom wanted to continue to move forward, and the ill-fated policies of this family tenant finally ushered in an opportunity for change at this moment.

The day of the execution was rainy and rainy. Liu Chan seemed to have become soft-hearted with the weather, so he ordered the death of Chen Yu, who had already gone crazy. The blood mixed with rain flowed along the streets, and the people nearby did not dare to go out and covered their ears to hide at home. Especially those with children at home, they even sent their children to the homes of relatives and friends. The people did not understand the struggles in the court, but knew that there were many high-ranking officials who were beheaded this year.

When the rain stopped, teams of officers and soldiers began to clean the streets. After the rain washed the blood, the blood almost dyed the soil within several miles. The "red clay" was removed and transported to the outside of the city to be buried deep, and then paved the road again. The busy people did not notice that a young man in plain clothes was hiding in the corner and bursting continuously.

When the ministers returned home, they sent people to send letters to officials in the clan, and most of them meant the same. Now His Majesty is at its peak, and everyone should keep their hands and feet clean. Don’t think that they are still living in the era when Chen Wu and Huang Hao are in charge of the world. If someone is accidentally investigated and punished by His Majesty, the family will not give any protection.

Many officials in Shu County also secretly sent the embezzled money and grain back to the ku Mansion. There was already a rumor in the palace. The next thing to be purged was the greedy and ink. No one had any objections. Chen Fu, who was previously elected by the aristocratic family, had finished playing. Could anyone else be impatient? Besides, the people in the palace have been replaced, and His Majesty controls the palace with one hand. Now the news is leaked. It is obvious that His Majesty gives everyone time to "reform" and this is a natural key.

If you receive favors, you will have to pay back. Moreover, if you accept your Majesty's love, you will no longer be affection, but kindness. The ministers all understand it. It seems that the past bad habits have disappeared overnight. Now I am looking for greed. Maybe next time I will be evaluating whether you are competent. Everyone can't guess your Majesty's thoughts, and the general trend is still clues. Your Majesty is to strengthen the country and do great things. What you oppose is definitely death. The problem is that following Your Majesty's path may not be of any benefit.

Those who have this idea were taught a lesson by the bosses in their family. What benefits would they want when they die? The years have been worthy of life over the years. The most important thing to save lives at the moment, Your Majesty did not pursue the connection with Chen Fu, and he burned the Xu family's memorials. To do this, he is already very tolerant of the ministers, so don't have any extra hope.

Wen Li and others were placed under house arrest in the county government office. Wang Jie lost news, and the county magistrate Li Bo did not hear any movement. Even the account book he was going to check was not sent.

"Mr. Wen, Ziyuan and I are not seriously injured. Why not try to break through?" It was Fan En who spoke. In the past few days, Liu Shao and Fan En asked Wen Li and others to give up on themselves several times. They found an opportunity to leave this place and were rejected by Wen Li.

"Your injuries will take at least half a month to use force, so let's rest." Guan Hu glanced at Fan En and spoke rarely.

Wen Li smiled and said, "General Guan rarely appreciates you, don't let General Guan make things difficult for him."

Liu Shao sighed: "I am not willing to die. I only regret that I have implicated two adults, and let Li Wenxiao be free from justice!"

"We are not without vitality. We just need to deal with it carefully. I wish Li Bo would not dare to murder the imperial officials." Wen Li always looked calm, as if nothing could cause emotional fluctuations.

"Yes, if this corrupt official had the courage, he would have taken action long ago. He would never have kept me until today!" Fan En agreed on the side.

Several people talked to each other in the side courtyard of this government office every day. Wen Li and Guan Hu admired Liu Shao and Fan En very much, and Liu Shao and Fan En also admired Wen Li and Guan Hu. The four of them fought fiercely for a while and had a deep friendship.

Footsteps sounded outside the hall, and Li Bo, the governor of Dongguanghan County who had not seen many days, walked in with more than 20 servants. Li Bo said with a smile: "I have been busy with official duties for several days and have neglected to entertain the two adults. Please forgive me."

Seeing Li Bo appear, Liu Shao stood up with a fire in his eyes and was about to explode. Wen Li smiled loudly, reached out and put his hand on Liu Shao's shoulder to stop him, "There are good wine and meat here every day. Even if you are in the palace, you have not had such good fortune. You still have to disturb Lord Li."

Li Bo thought that Wen Guangxiu was really damn, and he stared at him every sentence, and he was really hard to deal with. He smiled and said, "Mr. Wen is so serious. How could such a simple meal make me see the eyes of the two adults? Now the Japanese official has a special banquet to thank him for his crime of greeting him. I would like to ask the two adults to appreciate his face."

"Mr. Li is so sincere. How could Wen not agree? I asked Master Li to lead the way." Wen Li calmly accepted Li Bo's invitation. Wen Li and others knew in their hearts that as long as Li Bo gave the order, he could do anything in this government office. Since the banquet was held, it would be better to see what Li Bo's intentions were.

Everyone was about to take a step forward, Li Bo looked at Liu Shao and Fan En and said, "I am hosting two adults, so there is no need for these two."

When they heard Li Bo say this, the people were worried. Liu Shao and Fan En did not say that they had shared the worries and worries with Wen Li and others over the past few days. Li Bo's bad behavior of killing people to silence him is vivid in his mind. Wen Li was never relieved to let the two of them leave their sight.

"After Master Li's famous family, Brother Fan is talented and Wen is determined to make friends. Lord Li's move made Wen really embarrassed." Wen Li said.

"It's not because I am concerned about it, but because today's affairs are not known to outsiders. Please forgive me, Lord Wen." Li Bo said insisting.

"I'll stay here, don't go there." Guan Hu suddenly said.

"How can General Guan be absent? I sincerely invite you. Does General Guan think that he has a low position?" Li Bo's face darkened, and the servants behind him put their hands on their waists.

"Everything is decided by Lord Wen. Guan is only responsible for the guards. Why should Lord Li be aggressive?" Guan Hu's eyes were slightly opened, and a divine light stared at Li Bo.

Li Bo saw Guan Hu staring at him and suddenly remembered that Li Cheng had been stabbed by this seemingly honest young man's throat with a sword, and he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.

Wen Li knew that he could only separate from Guan Hu at the moment, and walked towards the outsider of the hall: "Mr. Wen is having something to discuss with Lord Li, and ask him to lead the way."

Seeing this, Li Bo was not able to hold on, so he brought Wen Li to the main hall. The two of them sat down with guests and hosts, and the free servants served wine and food. After three rounds of wine, Li Bo waved his hand and signaled everyone to retreat. Only Li Bo and Wen Li were left in the huge hall.

"What is the secret of Lord Li? Just say it straight, Wen listened carefully." Wen Li smiled first.

"Mr. Wen is so happy, and I don't hide it. I dare to ask Master Wen why he came to Wei County this time?" At this time, Li Bo also looked calm, just staring at Wen Li with his eyes tightly.

"Wen is ordered to act, and Your Majesty repeatedly reminds you not to leak it. Please forgive me, Lord Li." Wen Li replied with a constant expression.

"I wonder when Lord Wen will come to this county. If Li knew, he would be able to welcome him." Li Bo continued.

"Ha! I believe Lord Li has known it for a long time, why do you need Wen to repeat it? You might as well say it bluntly." Wen Li smiled and said with a silly smile.

"Hahahaha, Wen Guangxiu is worthy of being a talented man in Ba County, but I am too verbal." Li Bo laughed out loud when he heard this, raised his cup and drank it all.

Wen Li smiled but said nothing, waiting for Li Bo to express his intentions, thinking about how to get out, but was worried about the movements on Guan Hu's side.

"If I expected it is correct, Lord Wen is here to thoroughly investigate the distribution of pension money and rice. I wonder if Li is in the information?" Li Bo seemed to see the answer from Wen Li's face, staring at Wen Li without moving.

Wen Li still said calmly: "Mr. Li put Wen and others under house arrest for several days, and I don't know what to do?"

Li Bo was silent for a while after hearing this, as if he had confirmed his guess, so he took out a wooden box from behind and put it in front of Wen Li. Wen Li seemed to have some understanding and sat there motionless. Li Bo frowned and opened the wooden box himself and said, "This is Li's accumulation over the years, and now he gives it to Guangxiu. Please ask Guangxiu to open the Internet and give Li a way out."

Looking at the gold, silver and jewelry in front of him, Wen Li said unmovedly: "Mr. Li feels that he will block Wen's mouth. Will no one know about this?"

"Hahahahahahahaha! Didn't Lord Wen remind Li to kill someone to silence him?" Li Bo laughed wildly when he heard this.

"Li Wenxiao! If you dare to do something random, Wen will never forgive you!" Wen Li saw that Li Bo had a plan and was worried about the safety of Guan Hu and others, and shouted coldly.

"Mr. Wen, don't you think it's too late? Just Lord Wen needs to accept this box of money, and Li promises that no one knows what happened in this county!" Li Bo said here and looked at Wen Li gloomy.

"Are you..." Wen Li saw Li Bo's ferocious face and was even more worried about the comfort of Guan Hu and others, so he stood up and walked out.
