Seeing that the people in Jiaozhou were out of control under the instigation, Xue Yu hurriedly asked the state government officers and soldiers to come over to maintain order, so as not to cause a stampede, but Li Pengfei was still stirring up the people's emotions. I have had a grudge for a long time, and it will be fine if I vent it.”

Xie Xun glanced at the angry Jiaozhou people, and said in a deep voice, "If this king wants to slaughter Jiaozhou, [-] troops outside the city can attack the city immediately. You don't have to come to Jiaozhou alone. You should stop listening and believing too much. Don’t follow others’ opinions, if I stay in the city for a day, the Ningzhou iron cavalry will not attack Jiaozhou.”

The ragged boy asked sharply, "What if the prince dies in Jiaozhou City? Won't the Ningzhou cavalry attack Jiaozhou?"

The noisy voice quieted down, and the common people also wanted to know the answer. If he entered Jiaozhou alone, what if he died in Jiaozhou?

Xie Xun raised his eyebrows with a smile that was not a smile. The young man's question really touched his heart. Xie Xun almost believed that this was the person he had deliberately placed in the city. How clever!

"My king came to pay lord Lin Zhi's funeral and negotiate peace with the Jiaozhou prefecture. Why did he die?" Xie Xun asked Xue Yu, "Is that right, lord Xue?"

"Yes, yes... the state government will definitely protect the prince!" Xue Yu clasped his fists and said, "Everyone, I hereby promise to Jiaozhou that the prince will be safe and sound during his stay in Jiaozhou. Naturally, the cavalry will not invade Jiaozhou when the prince is here. .”

Li Pengfei was displeased, and was about to continue inciting the common people, but the officers and soldiers stepped forward to put martial law in place, Xue Yu took Xie Xun away, and Xue Yu knew that Xie Xun's words were meant for him.

Yes, Ningzhou iron cavalry will not invade Jiaozhou. The only prerequisite is that Xie Xun is safe and sound in Jiaozhou city. If Xie Xun has any troubles, he is the coach of Ningzhou iron cavalry.

Lin Zhi's wife originally wanted to help Ling return to Beijing, but Lin Zhi had left a suicide note before leaving the city, hoping that his wife would bury him in Jiaozhou, and the dead would be the oldest.Mrs. Lin Zhi respected her husband's wishes and chose to let Lin Zhi be buried in Jiaozhou.

Xie Xun knelt down and offered incense in the mourning hall. Mrs. Lin was pregnant in July, but she looked very haggard. She returned the salute with her young daughter. Although her eyes were red and swollen, her mood was very stable. It was the tenth day. Worship has been made, and there are no idlers in the mourning hall.

Xie Xun took off his saber, put it aside, and saluted Mrs. Lin with his fists clasped, "My condolences, Mrs. Lin's death is due to my guilt. I have absolutely no complaints about beating or scolding Mrs. Lin."

Mrs. Lin did not expect that the famous King Qin would apologize to her. Mrs. Lin was not from a famous family, and she was not liked by Mrs. Lin.The first child was forced to stand by the rules, and the child was lost.Although Lin Zhi is a Jinshi, she is upright and upright, and it is difficult for an upright official to do housework.

Later, when Lin Zhi was released, Mrs. Lin wanted to keep Mrs. Lin in the mansion to serve her because she was unwell. It was Lin Zhi and his wife who outsmarted her, so she was able to live with Lin Zhi in Jiaozhou. It was only two years of comfortable life. passed away.Mrs. Lin is a new widow, more desperate than anyone else.

"The deceased is dead, there is no point in resentment and scolding, and he will never come back." Mrs. Lin had tears in her eyes, "The prince went to Jiaozhou alone to see him off. We are very grateful."

"This is what this king should do." Xie Xun said, "If Madam has an assignment in the future, this king will do her best and will not hesitate to do so."

"Thank you, my lord!"

Lin Zhi's eldest daughter was just over three years old, and she was born cute as Yuxue. She didn't understand life and death. She looked at Xie Xun curiously. Xie Xun looked at Mrs. Lin who was pregnant and haggard. pain.

If he didn't bring troops to Jiaozhou, Lin Zhi wouldn't die!

He believed that Lin Zhi was sincere when he replied to the letter, but something happened later, which was not what they wanted. If he had been more cautious, perhaps Lin Zhi would not have been treated as a pawn and died in front of the two armies.

Personal honor and disgrace, life and death, are as small as dust and can be easily crushed before the power of the emperor.

After Xie Xun paid homage to Lin Zhi, Mrs. Lin and her young daughter sent Lin Zhi's coffin up the mountain. Xie Xun, Xue Yu, and a group of staff from the yamen also accompanied them. The staff looked at Xie Xun with unkind eyes, but Xie Xun didn't care.

After Lin Zhi was buried, Xue Yu accompanied Xie Xun down the mountain. Xie Xun went to Jiaozhou not only to see Lin Zhi off, Xue Yu also knew that sooner or later he would talk about the garrison.

The two returned to the state capital's meeting hall, and the servant served hot tea, but Xie Xun was not in a hurry to drink tea. He carefully observed the state capital. The layout of the Jiaozhou state capital and Jinzhou state capital was similar. From the window, you can see the guards outside the courtyard on guard.

Xie Xun was not in a hurry to talk about the garrison, "Why was Li Pengfei sent to Jiaozhou?"

Xue Yu said, "The night the prince rebelled against the capital, Deputy Commander Li died, and the entire capital of the capital was implicated. Although their lives were saved, many people were dismissed. It stands to reason that he would not be sent down. Zhang Boxi was promoted to the capital. Commander of the Guards. But Li Pengfei offended Lin Sheng and was expelled from Kyoto to serve as a general in Jiaozhou. It has been more than a month."

After Xue Yu arrived in Jiaozhou, he conducted a comprehensive investigation into the background of the appointment and removal of officials in the state capital.I don't know that Xie Xun and Li Pengfei have grievances.

Li Pengfei was Xie Xun's old department when he was in the capital of Weishi. Although they were all descendants of aristocratic families, Xie Xun reused Lin Xiao, Zhang Boxing, and Zhang Boxi.Zhou Liyu and Cai Wensen were next, and they didn't like Li Pengfei very much.It wasn't because Lin Xiao broke up with Li Pengfei, he was never a person influenced by personal grievances and subjective opinions, Zhang Boxi had come to challenge him when he first arrived in Jingduwei, he still reused him regardless of past suspicions.

The main reason is that he failed to complete the several tasks he gave to Li Pengfei. He has problems with his personal ability, and his emotional management is out of control. He is more irritable than Lin Xiao, and without Zhang Boxing to restrain him, it is difficult to accomplish things.

But Li Pengfei didn't know what to think. Now that he was in Jiaozhou City, it was a troublesome matter.

"Although Li Pengfei has been in Jiaozhou for more than a month, because he is a son of an aristocratic family from Kyoto, he is very respected among the soldiers." Xue Yu reminded, "I am new here, and I will temporarily take charge of Jiaozhou affairs. His words may not be effective."

"Lord Xue is really interesting. Are you afraid that the king will die in Jiaozhou, or do you hope that the king will die in Jiaozhou?" Xie Xun asked jokingly, "My lord has an ambiguous attitude, but I don't understand it."

"Your Highness has a high status, I wish you a safe and long life." Xue Yu said, "Your Majesty will temporarily take charge of Jiaozhou affairs, and hope that there will be no bloodshed in Jiaozhou City."

"As soon as Lin Zhi died, the Jiaozhou prefecture also had staff, judges, and county magistrates. Why did you invite the magistrate of Jinzhou to take charge of the matter?" Xie Xun asked with a smile, "Isn't this against the rules? According to the Yanyang law, Lord Xue has no right to intervene in Jiaozhou. thing."

Xue Yu chuckled and said, "My lord, whether the twelve prefectures are governed by the imperial court or Ningzhou is in chaos. Each prefecture governs according to the actual situation. If they obey the laws of Yanyang, the prince will be executed as soon as he enters the city. .”

Xie Xun is not easy to be fooled, "I didn't see that Mr. Xue wanted to listen to the laws of Ningzhou."
