Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 159 Chapter 164: The Current Situation of Tingzhou
Wang Yuantai was stunned for a moment, then opened his voice and shouted down: "Li Hao, I know you want to enter the city, but you can't pretend to be an official, it's a serious crime to pretend to be an assassin..."

When Li Hao heard this, his nose turned out of anger, and he stretched out his hand: "Lu Yun, bring the imperial decree!"

Lu Yun handed the imperial decree to Li Hao, Li Hao tore away the imperial decree and shouted loudly: "The imperial decree has arrived!"

"Wow!" The five hundred right guards in the back knelt down in unison, the sound of armor colliding was like thunder, and others also knelt down when they saw this, Wang Yuantai was startled, and hurriedly made all the soldiers on the top of the wall kneel down.

Li Hao recited his imperial decree aloud, and after finishing the recitation, he said loudly: "I will make dozens of voices, quickly open the city gate, or I will send people to forcibly attack the city!"

Wang Yuantai was so frightened when he heard the words, he hesitated for a moment and quickly ordered to open the city gate. Li Hao asked Peng Hai to take You Xiaowei to camp outside the city, while he brought the caravan and others into the city.

As soon as Li Hao passed through the corridor of the city gate, he saw Wang Yuantai kneeling on the street with four soldiers and shouted: "Wang Yuantai, Lieutenant of Youguoyi, Youguoyi, Zhechong Weifu, a low-ranking Tingzhou, pay homage to Lord Inspector!"

"Captain Guoyi?" Li Hao was slightly startled when he heard the words, got off his horse, walked to him to help him up, and scolded with a smile, "You've been promoted very quickly, you've already become Captain Guoyi."

Wang Yuantai blushed, and said with a calm smile: "No matter how fast you are, I can't catch up with you, my lord, you are already a great official of the frontier."

"You still know that I'm a big official in the frontier." Li Hao coaxed, "I told you to open the city gate, but you won't! Listen to that bullshit! Believe it or not, I'll beat you!" Raise your hand and make a gesture of pumping.

Wang Yuantai quickly shrank his head, ready to let him slap, Li Hao slapped him lightly on the shoulder, laughed and said: "Everyone has been old friends for many years, we can meet in Tingzhou this time, there is a kind of fellow How does it feel to see fellow villagers, are you surprised or surprised?"

Wang Yuantai grinned and nodded happily: "Surprise, I'm really surprised, I didn't expect to meet you here, my lord."

"My lord! What are you!" Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said in displeasure, "If you do this again, I will turn my back on you. Everyone is an old friend. I call you Yuantai, and you call me Poet Madness. Poet Madness is me. The table characters, bestowed by the emperor."

"Wow!" Wang Yuantai looked at Li Hao with admiration, his eyes were almost glistening, he couldn't even imagine what it was like to be granted a watch by the emperor. This is simply the rhythm of heaven.

Li Hao held his head up, pretending to enjoy Wang Yuantai's adoring eyes. If being an official is not for pretending, then it is meaningless.

Li Hao wanted to enjoy Wang Yuantai's worship for a while longer, but Wang Yuantai had already turned off the worship mode, coughed lightly, and asked, "Big...that...Master Poet, will I take you to the Governor's Mansion now?"

"No! I haven't pretended enough!" Li Hao raised his hand and said loudly, "This governor came to Tingzhou to take up his post, but apart from you, no official came to meet him. How can I put face on this governor!"

"Eh..." Wang Yuantai hesitated for a moment, and asked, "How about... the humble officer should summon them now and let them come to welcome you?"

Li Hao raised his head and looked at the sun above his head. It was weird, but after thinking about it, he waved his hands and said, "Forget it, let's go to the Governor's Mansion first, let them meet me at the Governor's Mansion."

Wang Yuantai turned his head to the four soldiers beside him, and said, "Have you heard what the governor said, go and summon the officials of Tingzhou, and let them go to the governor's mansion to meet the new governor!"

"Yes!" The four soldiers took the order and left in a hurry.

Li Hao glanced at Wang Yuantai with a smile: "Small man, you are quite good at calling people, keep it up, keep it up, if being an official is not for ordering your subordinates, then it is meaningless."

"Keep in mind the teachings of the great... poetry madman."

Li Hao waved his hand and said, "It sounds awkward. From now on, in public, you and I are the superior and the subordinate. Don't be too restrained in private, understand?"

Wang Yuantai digested this sentence carefully, understood his meaning roughly, nodded and said: "Yes, my lord."

"Let's go to the Governor's Mansion."

Under the leadership of Wang Yuantai, Li Hao and his party came to the Governor's Mansion, and finally saw the brick building. It's not easy, but this dilapidated courtyard looks like a joke no matter how it looks, and it feels worse than the farmer's house in Shanghe Village. The house is a bit bigger, and the courtyard wall has collapsed for a while. There are two big cracks in the courtyard wall on both sides of the door, from the top of the wall to the corner. It feels like the door will fall down at any time. If it is not broken There are three big characters "Inspector's Mansion" written on the plaque on the door, he really thought he went to the wrong place.

Seeing Li Hao's sluggish eyes, Wang Yuantai explained with a dry smile: "When you are an official, you don't repair the government office, so this Tingzhou Governor's Mansion has not been repaired since its establishment, so you can just use it."

"It's so unreasonable." Li Hao complained, "Seeing the dilapidated courtyard wall and door, I can almost imagine what it looks like inside." He lifted his foot and walked in, only to see the desolate courtyard There is no rockery, no flower beds, no green plants, no decorations or green plants, just an empty yellow land, no, there are a flock of sheep here, there are more than [-] sheep, and the yard is full of sheep excrement.

"What... what's going on!" Li Hao screamed with widened eyes.

Wang Yuantai explained embarrassingly: "After the death of the previous governor, this governor's mansion has been vacant. It happened that Zuo Guoyi's capital Wei Yunmeng's sheep pen was not enough, so I borrowed it for the time being..."

"Enough!" Li Hao interrupted him angrily before he finished speaking, "It's too deceitful, this is the governor's mansion, the official office! It represents the majesty of the imperial court! How dare he use it to make a sheepfold and Guoyi Captain, right? I have recorded this account first, and will settle it later, now! Slaughter all these sheep!"

Wang Yuantai exclaimed immediately upon hearing the words: "Absolutely not! Absolutely not..."

Before he finished speaking, all the special forces had already been dispatched. They were good at killing people, and they had nothing to say about slaughtering sheep. I saw figures shaking in the yard, and blood shot out. More than 20 sheep all lay down on the ground, filling the yard. It's all blood.

Wang Yuantai froze on the spot, dumbfounded, and didn't know what to say for a while, Li Hao waved his hand: "Wang Yuantai, throw these dead sheep to the street for me, and then clean up the yard, if I see any blood stains, Don’t be Captain Guoyi, you will be fined to clean the latrines in the Wei Mansion.”

"Ah?" Wang Yuantai was shocked when he heard the words, and hurried away after receiving orders.

Li Hao entered the governor's office and looked around. It was as dilapidated as imagined, and some roofs even leaked. Fortunately, there is little rain and dry weather in Tingzhou, otherwise it would be moldy everywhere.

After shopping around, Li Hao said: "Lu Yun, find some craftsmen tomorrow to repair the roof. Winter in Tingzhou is very cold, I don't want to freeze to death."

"Yes." Lu Yun nodded and accepted the order.

Next, Li Hao wanted to look through the official documents, and found that the official document cabinet was empty, and there was no official document. Why is there not even a single official document in the middle school?"

Wang Yuantai hesitated for a moment, and replied helplessly: "Since the death of the previous governor, Cao Biejia has been handling official duties, and he has already moved all the official documents back home."

"What the hell?" Li Hao yelled, staring, "Moving back home? There's no reason for that! Did I come to Tingzhou to be funny!"

Li Hao really got angry this time, this Cao Tian is really good enough, and the seizure of power is too rampant, he was about to curse, when Lu Yun beside him said softly: "Be safe, don't be impatient, Getting angry won't solve the problem."

Li Hao was awakened by his words, forcibly calmed down, returned to the seat in the Yamen and sat down, began to discuss with Lu Yun how to regain his power, and waited for the officials of Tingzhou to visit him by the way. After waiting for a long time, he I finished chatting with Lu Yun, and even Wang Yuantai and the others finished cleaning the yard, but no one came to visit him. Wang Yuantai has been waiting here and dare not leave.

After another hour, it was almost dark, and still no officials came to visit him. Li Hao was annoyed, slammed the table, got up and asked angrily, "Wang Yuantai, what's going on? Since I entered the city until now, how many times have you seen him?" It has been three hours, why no one came to see me, did your subordinates not notify me?"

The four summoned soldiers were shocked when they heard the words, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "My lord, I have summoned all the officials in the city according to my lord's order. Except for Cao Biejia who went out of the city to handle business, all other officials have been summoned."

Li Hao frowned when he heard the words. He gradually felt that the water in Tingzhou seemed not shallow, so he waved his hand and said, "Everyone else retreat, Wang Yuantai stays."

"Yes!" Except for Lu Yun and Wang Yuantai, everyone retreated one after another.

Li Hao stepped down from his official position, came to Wang Yuantai, and asked, "Yuantai, tell me honestly what's going on in Tingzhou City now, you know what I mean, don't pretend to be stupid."

When Wang Yuantai saw Li Hao's sudden questioning, he was a little panicked for a moment, with a look of embarrassment on his face. Li Hao said again: "You can safely and boldly say that with me covering you, even if you don't believe me, you should believe the five things I brought. A hundred right guards."

Wang Yuantai hesitated for a while, finally made a decision, gritted his teeth, and sighed with a complicated expression: "Oh, poetry madman, you shouldn't have come to Tingzhou."

Li Hao smiled coldly when he heard the words: "Is it because Cao Tian is covering the sky with one hand here?"

Wang Yuantai was slightly surprised when he heard the words: "You know everything?"

Li Hao said indifferently: "I just know a general idea. I still need you to explain to me the specific situation in the city."

Wang Yuantai nodded, and began to talk. When he finished speaking, Li Hao frowned. This Cao Tian really covered the sky with one hand in Tingzhou. The matter, Captain Zuo Guoyi of Zhechong Mansion, these important positions are all from Cao Tian. No matter which governor comes to Tingzhou, they are all empty-handed. If they want money but no money, no one who wants people, they are directly emptied and put in the yamen Rian quietly used it as a display.

Not only that, Cao Tian privately raised more than 300 minions, and I heard that he also had contacts with some horse thieves in the desert. Low, not worthy of knowing such high-level secrets.

Since Li Hao was mentally prepared, after listening to Wang Yuantai's narration, he was not too surprised, but asked lightly, "Yuantai, do you believe me?"

Wang Yuantai nodded: "Of course I believe in you. If it weren't for you, how could I be in the position I am in today."

When Li Hao quelled the plague with a prescription, he was not the only one who was rewarded. Everyone who participated in this matter was rewarded. The place is rather bad, it is actually Tingzhou, a place of bitter cold. Although the conditions are difficult, but after all the position has been promoted by N grades, Wang Yuantai thought about working hard for a few years and waiting for transfer. The first wait was four years. Hao.

Li Hao nodded and said: "Actually, I need you to cooperate with me in a play. If the play is successful, I guarantee that you will not only be able to leave this ghostly place of Tingzhou, but also be promoted to a third rank."
