Chapter 117
Yuan Ke smiled slightly, and said to Wei An: "Wei Jianzhou, let's take a moment to talk."

Unknown, Wei An went in and followed him to the soldiers.Yuan Ke put on a dignified look, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "What do you think is the purpose of my private visit?"

"This..." Wei An is indeed a person who is well versed in officialdom, and immediately started to flatter him, "Your Majesty has the common people in his heart, so he wants to see how they are doing. -"

"Okay, okay." Yuan Ke waved his hand and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, but you can't spread the word. It's the emperor's intention to let me visit here in advance."

Upon hearing this, Wei An was surprised and said, "What? Your Majesty..."

Seeing that Wei An had already fallen into the trap, Yuan Ke was secretly proud, and said unhurriedly: "Before I left here, the imperial grandfather told me that Wei An is Wei Huaiwen's son, and he has been taught well since he was a child. Can be of great use!"

Wei An's eyes were moist, and he murmured: "I never thought... I never thought that the emperor still misses my late father! It's me who is incompetent and failed the emperor's high expectations!"

"The emperor's grandfather also said to me, don't make a fuss and go to Shouyang quietly to have a look. If the politics is still clear and the people can still live in peace, I will use him again!" "These two words have emphasized the tone.

Regardless of whether Wei An's conscience was really condemned, or he was purely thinking about his future career, in short, he suddenly cheered up, changed his usual obedience, and shouted: "Pass on my general order, the whole army is here Gather at the east gate!"

Amidst the screaming of the heralds running around, the soldiers who were drinking and playing cards reluctantly withdrew their hands and hurried down the city gate.After a while, all three thousand soldiers guarding the city had arrived.

Wei An took Yuan Ke up to the tower, he walked around anxiously for a few times, finally made up his mind, and shouted sharply: "Bring Liu Shenmao up!"

Liu Shenmao's previous miraculous energy was gone, dragged by two soldiers, he crawled to the bottom of the tower, crying, "General, General! The villain is guilty! Forgive me!" , forgive me!"

Wei An squinted at him, and said coldly, "Do you know what mistake you made?"

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Liu Shenmao was so frightened that his tongue was tied into eighteen knots, and he said tremblingly, "The villain... the villain is wrong, shouldn't he be molesting women in the street..."

"You're wrong!" Wei An stared at him, "Your biggest mistake is that you have blind eyes, uttered obscenities, and contradicted King Pingnan!"

Wei An simply wanted the soldiers to think that he punished Liu Shenmao because Liu Shenmao had offended Yuan Ke, and he was forced to do so, thus directing the dissatisfaction of the soldiers to Yuan Ke.

Naturally, this kind of small trick of dumping the pot could not escape Yuan Ke's eyes. He immediately said: "What are you talking about in Jianzhou? It is a private matter for Liu Shenmao to contradict me, and it is a public matter for him to harm the people! I don't have to worry about him, but we should be Officials have to stand up for the people, you have to figure this out!"

Seeing that his little thoughts were completely seen through, Wei An was speechless for a moment, and just stared at Liu Shenmao for a long time.Suddenly, he walked quickly behind Liu Shenmao, drew out his sword with a "chuckle", and slashed at him!

Liu Shenmao was trembling, not knowing what happened behind him, but he still had the sixth sense accumulated over the years of fighting on the battlefield. He felt like a needle was pricking his back, and when he turned his head, a handful of warm blood splashed into his eyes !

In the haze of blood, he witnessed the whole process of his left arm falling off from his torso.

This severed arm drew a long arc in the air, fell into the dust below the city, and was picked up by wild dogs that sprang out from nowhere.

Wei An took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the blood on the sword, indifferent to Liu Shenmao's howling.After a while, the wailing gradually subsided, and Liu Shenmao fell to the ground covered in blood and twitched, unable to utter a sound.

"Listen to me, all of you!" Wei An closed his eyes and shouted to the sky, "If he dares to do evil and harm the common people, Liu...Liu Shenmao is the best end! Do you understand?"

"Here!" The soldiers responded tremblingly, feeling their backs trembling.

"Very good!" Wei An glanced at Liu Shenmao, who was like a dead dog, waved his hand, and called two soldiers up, "Pull him down for me, tell him to go away when he is healed!"

After performing this play of killing chickens and monkeys, Yuan Ke said goodbye to Wei An hastily, got up and went to the temporary residence Wei An arranged for him to rest.

Looking at Yuan Ke with a tired face, Wang Lin entered the questioning mode of breaking the casserole and asking the end: "Young master, Liu Shenmao was stopped by us before the violence, because cutting off his hand is a bit heavy? "

Yuan Ke asked with a smile: "Have you ever heard the story of dripping water wearing stone?"

Wang Lin shook her head.

Yuan Ke said: "In ancient times, a county magistrate discovered that a petty official had stolen a penny from the treasury, so he punished him. Did you kill me? Ziheng, guess what? The county magistrate really killed him."

"Huh?" Wang Lin's eyes widened, "I'm afraid others won't be convinced by the county magistrate's actions!"

"The county magistrate only said one sentence," Yuan Ke said, "A penny a day is worth a thousand pennies a day; a rope saws a piece of wood, and water drips through a stone."

"However, it can't be said that this little official really stole a thousand coins?" Wang Lin asked.

Yuan Ke didn't know whether to say that he was sincere, or that he was possessed by force, so he had to smile wryly: "This is just a story. Let's talk about the reality. What Liu Shenmao committed is much more serious than this. Just think about it, he is full of people on the street. He dared to rob people's daughters in front of people. After we took him down, not only did he have no regrets, he didn't even have any fear. How arrogant is this? He is the commander of Matou, not Shouyang. Commander, you are so unscrupulous here, if you are on the horse's head, what will happen?"

"My lord said that, so I understand." Wang Lin nodded and said, "I think that Liu Shenmao has done some wicked things in his daily life. If he loses a hand, it will be considered an advantage to him!"

Yuan Ke said solemnly: "If I sentence him to death because of this incident, the soldiers will not accept it, thinking that I am avenging him for insulting me, so I can't solve him completely. But after he returned to the horse's head, You have to keep an eye on the movement there for me, Liu Shenmao will cause big trouble sooner or later!"
