Chapter 148 Chapter 147 The Struggle for Domination of the Land
The county seat of Shuzhou.
The plaque on the mansion has been changed to "The Mansion of Prince Li". After Xiao Junlin came back and stood beside the flower bed, he thought of a familiar figure he saw outside the door just now, and felt that he might have seen it wrong.
The person he sent did not bring back the news that she was going back to Shuzhou City.
What Xiao Junlin didn't know was that Gu Hua came to Shuzhou City on a whim, and the people he sent didn't have enough time to pass the news back.
Xiao Junlin thought that the land of Bashu was now his fiefdom. However, Wei Xingba wanted to unite with his nominal brother-in-law, Taishou Wang, and other officials to suppress him, and wanted him to be a weak vassal king who could not control anything.
The man's eyebrows were knitted tightly together, and his eyes were cold and sharp. "It's time to let some people know who is the master here."
Xiao Junlin stood tall, looking up at the azure sky, and raised his hand to call his subordinates...
……
In the hall of Wang's family in the prefect's mansion, a little boy of six or seven years old was crying because he was dissatisfied with the place he lived in.
"Dad, the yard here is too small. I want to go back and live in a big house." The chubby little boy with dark skin knocked the teacup out of Wang Taishou's hand. "Did you hear me?"
It was obvious that the little boy was spoiled and spoke very rudely. The servants around him seemed to be used to it and didn't hear him, and didn't show any inappropriate expressions.
Prefect Wang frowned when the teacup he had just picked up was knocked down, but when he saw that it was his youngest son whom he always loved, he just stroked his beard helplessly and took out some silver from his pocket and gave it to him.
Smiling, he redirected the child's attention and consoled him: "I'll have the servants take you out to buy something you like later. Dad has something to go out for now."
Thinking of the General Grasshopper that his mother had always forbidden him to buy, Wang Baozong completely forgot the purpose of his sister Wang Yuexi asking him to come, and ran out in a hurry with the silver.
Wang Baozong, who only wanted to buy his favorite toy as soon as possible, had just run a short distance when he bumped into a stupid boy.
"Ouch!" He fell to the ground with a thud.
“It hurts so much… wuwuwu…” Wang Baozong, who fell due to the rebound effect, touched his hurt butt.
Regardless of whether he had bumped into someone else or not, he bit back and cursed: "You fool, you dare to knock me down, I'll let my father beat you to death."
The young man lowered his eyes and looked at Wang Baozong who was kicking and hitting him with a ferocious look on his face. His dull eyes flickered for a moment, as if he didn't understand what he was saying. He just stood there stupidly and let him beat and scold him.
"Fool, you fool... Dare to bump into me... I will beat you to death..."
Here, Governor Wang heard the report from his servant and waved his hand impatiently after giving his instructions.
The servant received the order from Governor Wang and came back: "The eldest son was beaten with five boards for offending the young master, and he was forced to kneel in the ancestral hall and fast for a day."
The young man clenched his hands into fists at his sides, then quickly returned to his dazed look.
……
In the living room of the prefect's mansion, Wei Xingba sat at the head of the table, looking gloomy and mocking: "If that person lives peacefully like this, this general will still let him live."
"The general is mighty. How can we allow a prince who is feared by the emperor to be so arrogant here?" an official flattered him.
Someone else echoed and flattered him, saying, "If he doesn't know what's good for him, don't blame us for making up some unfounded accusations against him. If he shows any disloyalty, our wise emperor will punish him."
Wei Xingba has been operating in Bashu for many years. Even the current prefect, Wang Lian, was promoted from the deputy post of prefect, Zuosi, through his secret manipulation.
Other officials in Shuzhou who disagreed with him were either squeezed out or killed by him and other officials. Before Xiao Junlin came, it can be said that Wei Xingba was the local emperor here.
Therefore, most of the people sitting here are from Wei Xingba's party.
When Wei Xingba heard someone say that the emperor was wise, he grinned sarcastically, saying that these civil servants were not well-informed and had no idea how chaotic the outside world was.
Thinking of the uprisings in various places, Wei Xingba's eyes showed a hint of ambition. The prefect Wang, who was sitting down, lowered his eyes. He secretly hated that he, the highest official in Shuzhou, was suppressed in his own home, but he could do nothing about it.
The following days.
After seeing Xiao Junlin coming here, Wei Xingba and the Shuzhou officials stayed indoors most of the time.
At first, the people he sent were shunned by them. After that, he never mentioned taking over the affairs within the vassal king's power in his fiefdom.
Therefore, everyone thought that he was worried about the emperor's suspicion and wanted to be a law-abiding prince with no ambition and no business.
Officials who were originally afraid that the prince would take action when he came here changed their cautiousness and continued to blatantly embezzle and accept bribes. Some officials also took advantage of the increased taxes and levies to continue to exploit the people.
……
Until one night, Governor Wang, who had gone to sleep with his concubine, woke up and found the ground under him was cold and hard.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a man sitting on a chair in a brightly candlelit room, playing with a jade pendant in his hand with a leisurely look on his face.
"Awake." The man didn't even raise his eyelids, and had no intention of talking nonsense with Wang Taishou. He said coldly: "I'll give you two choices."
"Be obedient or die. It's up to you."
Governor Wang shivered as he climbed up from the cold ground, looking in fear at the man who was so handsome but spoke so coldly.
"I am the governor of the entire Shu County. If anything happens, the court will not let you go."
The man narrowed his deep and narrow phoenix eyes and glanced at him with disdain, "The Shuzhou governor Wang Lianma went crazy and died on the bed of his seductive concubine. What does this have to do with me?!"
Glancing at his subordinates, Ye An got the hint and held a red pill in his hand, with a sinister and terrifying smile on his face: "The powerful Happy and Carefree Pill is guaranteed to make the governor die in ecstasy on the belly of the beautiful lady."
Wang Taishou stepped back in fear, looking at the man with a smile on his face in horror, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "No, I don't want to die on a woman's belly."
At this moment, Wang Lian regretted more than ten thousand times. He shouldn't have been so arrogant as to provoke this demon who seemed indifferent to the world but was actually a deep-minded and cruel demon.
It's too cruel to let him die with a disgrace on his face.
The man turned the jade pendant flexibly between his fingers and played with it, then threw several pages of paper collected by his men on the table to Governor Wang.
"Since you are so sensible, I can't bear to let you live in confusion."
Governor Wang was stunned for a moment, and picked up the pieces of paper scattered in front of him in confusion. When he saw the information with evidence on them, he stared at them with bloodshot eyes, and his knuckles turned white as he held the papers.
"Bitch, I know she's restless." Governor Wang gritted his teeth and said, "For her, I even gave up my first wife..."
At this point, Wang Taishou hurriedly stopped and angrily changed his words: "I didn't expect that she would dare to let me raise a son for someone else."
The man looked at the now hateful Governor Wang with a mocking look. In order to successfully climb to the position of Governor among several official candidates, he acquiesced in his current second wife to kill his original wife.
Afterwards, he allowed his stepdaughter, who had learned shamelessness from her mother, to cause his good-looking son from his original wife to live by pretending to be crazy and stupid.
Now he knows that the youngest son born to his second wife, whom he loves so much, is not his own. He hates it. Isn't he the one who should hate the most?
At this time, Xiao Junlin was calmly and secretly making plans, preparing to clean up the Shuzhou officialdom and take back the power that belonged to him.
Gu Hua was also leading a few people to fight the bandits fiercely...
