Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 182 Don't Be Strange
"Zhou, King Zhou's Palace...His Royal Highness, the little one, ah, the little one deserves to die, the young one deserves to die..."

The fat man stared straight at Li Xian, the more he looked at him, the more blue his face became, and the sweat on his forehead was dripping out one after another, and in the end, it was flowing like a waterfall all over his face Yes, after being in a daze for a while, but seeing the fat man suddenly get excited, he fell to his knees on the ground, kowtowed like pounding garlic and howled.

"Are you alone?"

Li Xian went out to the camp this time to learn about the real situation of disaster relief. He didn't wear the king's clothes, but he was just dressed in casual clothes. There was no special mark on his body. If he was not an acquaintance, he would definitely not be able to recognize Li Xian's details. When he saw the fat man yelling out his identity, Li Xian couldn't help but froze for a moment, but he couldn't remember when he had seen such a fat man before, and his brows frowned involuntarily, coldly He asked incomparably.

"Going back to the hall, your highness, the youngest Niu San is also from Bread Shop, and the youngest is in-laws of shopkeeper Deng, ah, the second daughter of the youngest is married to the eldest son of shopkeeper Deng, and the youngest once took a look at His Highness from a distance in the early years. Frightened by His Majesty's heroic appearance, I will never forget it. Seeing Your Majesty again today is truly a blessing that I have cultivated in three lifetimes. Your Majesty, you are a noble body. This place is dirty and messy. Rest in the city, the small ones should be..."

Seeing that Li Xian didn't get angry on the spot, Fatty Niu San immediately regained his spirits. He introduced himself and flattered him. He just wanted to coax Li Xian, the Buddha, away from the scene.

"enough!"

Niu San was well-intentioned, but unfortunately he misjudged the target, so he planned to be in front of Li Xian with such a little care, it was like playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong, how could he succeed? He was too lazy to listen any more, so he waved his hand impatiently, interrupting Niu San's nonsense in a blunt tone, and then, regardless of how ugly Niu San's face was, he walked towards the porridge shed on his own In the past, I first looked at the scarce porridge in a row of vats, then picked up a steamed bun, squeezed it slightly, and saw countless fine chaffs spilling out of the hard steamed bun. Li Xian's expression immediately turned gloomy, but he didn't rush to speak, but waved at the two people who had fought with the store's clerks earlier.

"Huazhou's son Zhang Xiangyang pays his respects to His Royal Highness King Zhou."

The middle-aged scribe was obviously very courageous. Even after experiencing the fright of the previous chaotic battle, his face was still quite calm. Seeing Li Xian raised his hand to call, he strode over without hesitation, and greeted Li Xian graciously. .

"Liu Ziming from the same state has met His Royal Highness King Zhou."

Seeing the middle-aged scribe move, the burly bearded man followed him step by step, clasped his fists at Li Xian, and performed the etiquette of the Jianghu. Although it is not in line with the etiquette of the system on such occasions, it is still reluctant. Makes sense.

"Excuse me, Zhang Xiangyang, since you are a child, I think you are a person who has read a lot of poetry and books, so I ask you alone, what is the reason for openly fighting with others?"

Seeing Zhang Xiangyang's generous and decent manner, Li Xian admired it in his heart, but his face was still gloomy, and he asked incomparably coldly.

"His Royal Highness, it is not because the student wanted to fight with others, but he was actually beaten. The root cause is that the student made a few more words and exposed the trick of the porridge shed owner's shoddy trick. In this catastrophe, that Brother Liu has never met the student, and he only helped the student because of the injustice, if His Highness wants to blame, then the student should bear all the punishment!" Zhang Xiangyang was not at all offended by Li Xian's ugly face Timidly, he answered without being overbearing or humble.

"En." Li Xian didn't comment on Zhang Xiangyang's explanation, but just said noncommittal, and then continued to ask: "How do you know that the person in charge is shoddy?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the 'Deng Ji Company' is willing to do good things. There are porridge sheds in various places, and there are notices on the signboards, stating that all immigrants who follow the order can receive a bowl of porridge and rough noodles by following the official road wherever they go. The four people in Wowotou thought they were using dry food for the journey, and they said something beforehand that the offerings in all places are the same. The students have passed through three prefectures along the way, and all the things provided by the "Deng Ji Company" are the same, but the porridge here is thin and Wowotou is only There are two of them, and more than half of them are ginseng, which is far from what the Ming Pai said. The student has doubts, so he asks, but unexpectedly, it is just a question, and it has aroused the wrath of the person in charge. There is something strange, why did this come to this? Fortunately, I met His Highness, otherwise, the students may be swept away." Zhang Xiangyang's eloquence is obviously excellent, and what he said will be clear and logical.

"Oh? That's it." Li Xian seemed to be moved by Zhang Xiangyang's words, raised his brows, said with emotion, and then suddenly changed the subject: "I just have one more question. There is no need to flee to another country when the imperial court supplies Lumi, is there another way of saying this?"

"This one……"

As soon as Li Xian asked this question, Zhang Xiangyang became dumb, his lips moved a few times, and his eyes rolled wildly, but he couldn't find a reasonable excuse for a long time.

Hey, you really came here to mess things up, good boy, you really are a fat thief!As soon as Li Xian saw Zhang Xiangyang's appearance, he immediately knew that the purpose of this son's visit was not simple, and his anger surged up in his heart—on the surface, Li Xian was in charge of the reform of the imperial examination, but in fact, all the rules and regulations came from Zhang Xiangyang. With Li Xian's plan, Li Xian knew what kind of treatment his son would enjoy. Regardless of the fact that more than forty prefectures are currently suffering from drought, the imperial court still guarantees the lumi for the prefects and even the scholars in the disaster-stricken states. It will definitely not make these scholars fall into trouble. From this, it can be seen that Zhang Xiangyang is definitely not a real immigrant. In this way, the purpose of his visit will be revealed. The only thing Li Xian doesn't know is the person behind this guy. Which great god is standing there?

"Liu Zhuangshi, look at your skills. If you are serious, none of those bastards will be able to get close to the strong man, but I don't know why the strong man is so clumsy. Gu is very curious. Liu Zhuangshi is willing to help Gu. What?" Li Xian ignored Zhang Xiangyang whose face was constantly changing, but looked at Liu Ziming with great interest, and then asked with a smile.

"Your Highness, I can fight, but I can't beat people from Bodhisattva Deng. I have been greatly favored by Bodhisattva Deng along the way. If it weren't for Bodhisattva Deng, everyone in my town would have died. How can I fight?" Dare to hurt the person who hurt Bodhisattva Deng?" Liu Ziming is obviously a solid-eyed person, neither did he understand Li Xian's questioning of Zhang Xiangyang, nor did he see the murderous intent hidden in Li Xian's seemingly easy-going smile, swaying With a big head, he replied humbly.

Deng Bodhisattva?Hehe, that kid Deng Cheng really became a Buddha instantly!When Li Xian heard that Deng Cheng had become a bodhisattva in Liu Ziming's mouth, he couldn't help laughing to himself, but he didn't show it on his face. I'm accompanying you, and I don't know where they are, so you might as well call them all, I just want to see you."

"The little old man kowtowed to His Highness, Ziming was young and ignorant, and offended His Highness, I implore His Highness to allow him to reform himself, and the little old man kowtowed to His Highness."

As soon as Li Xian's words fell, quite a few people stood up from the surrounding crowd, and even an old man tremblingly walked in front of Li Xian, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed, and begged in a trembling voice with.

"Old man, you can't help it. You should always get up and talk."

Although Li Xian has a high status, he is not an unkind person. He understands the principle of respecting the old and loving the young. How can he let a rare person kowtow to him endlessly? He stood up and said softly.

"Your Highness, if you don't agree, I really dare not get up."

Although the old man was no stronger than Li Xian's support, he had no choice but to stand up, but he still begged tremblingly.

"The old man misunderstood, Xiao Wang definitely has no intention of offending Liu Zhuangshi."

Li Xian really had no choice but to make a promise with a smile.

"Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness." Hearing what Li Xian said, the old man's heart was at ease, and after he quickly thanked Liu Ziming, he shouted at Liu Ziming: "Silly boy, why don't you hurry up and thank Your Highness for your innocence?" Grace!"

"Ah, patriarch, I..."

Liu Ziming obviously still didn't understand why the old man pleaded for him, he stretched out his hand and scratched his head in a daze, dumbfounded at a loss.

"You bastard, I will settle accounts with you later."

Seeing Liu Ziming staring at him in a daze, the old patriarch stomped his feet and cursed angrily, then bowed his hands to Li Xian apologetically and said, "Your Highness Haihan, Ziming's parents died early, and they are old and dying. Disciplining him, this guy is all over, and he only knows how to run wild in the four villages, and it's the fault of the young and old who neglected discipline, I hope His Highness will be more tolerant."

What the fuck?This guy's face looks like he's 38 years old!Li Xian was stunned when he heard that Liu Ziming was the only one. He glanced at Liu Ziming suspiciously, and couldn't help but wryly smiled.

"Give way, let everything go!"

Just when Li Xian was speechless for a while, there was a sudden commotion outside, a middle-aged official in a red official robe, surrounded by a large group of yamen servants, rushed into the center of the field, and tried to approach Li Xian carelessly. But before the official approached, Ling Zhong had already dodged and blocked his way, holding the knife on the hilt with a murderous look, which shocked the middle-aged official back a few feet in a hurry.

"My official is Cheng Min, magistrate of Lantian County. Who are you? How dare you stop me and not back down!"

Although the middle-aged official was taken aback by Ling Zhong's sudden appearance, his tone was very tough. He unceremoniously waved his sleeves and began to scold him.

"Humph!"

Because Lantian County belongs to Jingzhao Mansion, the rank of its county magistrate is several grades higher than that of ordinary local county magistrates. The military commander above is two ranks higher than him, and he is Li Xian's absolute confidant, so how could he take a small local official seriously? Hearing this person's bad words, his complexion sank involuntarily. With a cold snort, the murderous aura on his body suddenly became stronger...
