Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 118 Aggressive
"So, you knew from the very beginning that Kang Xu was pretending to be the county magistrate?" Li Canghai folded his hands on his chest and pondered.

"Yes, of course I know."

"Why do you want to kill me? What is your purpose? Also, how did you learn about the Holy Lord's east tour?" Li Canghai asked with his brows furrowed.

"I just acted according to the order. Regarding the reason, the superiors didn't tell me, and I never asked." Liang Xiu took a deep look at him, and said meaningfully: "I can only tell you, you are not the only one."

"I'm not the only one? What does this mean?" Li Canghai was a little puzzled.He was about to ask, but Liu Tong took the opportunity.

"The Saint's East Tour has not been made public yet, so how did you know it?" Liu Tong did not question Liang Xiu, but stared at Li Canghai coldly and asked sharply.

Li Canghai didn't expect Liu Tong to question him, so he was taken aback for a moment before replying: "Lord Inspector, the point now is not how I learned about the emperor's east tour, but how did I know about the 'Nilin Xuanwu'?" Bar?"

Liu Tong's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Your Majesty's east tour is a confidential matter, how did you, a little county magistrate, know?"

Li Canghai frowned suddenly, and he said displeasedly, "Master Inspector, is he suspicious of being dismissed?"

"You are just the magistrate of the county under your name. Who gave you the right to investigate the governor of Luoyang? You even know about His Majesty's east tour. If you can't explain why, I will never forgive you. You!" Liu Tong shouted with slightly cold eyes.

"No one gave me the right, I just want to find out the truth." Li Canghai was very upset, and his words were no longer polite before, and said coldly.

"What a big tone, it's presumptuous for you to investigate Shangguan without authorization, and you are so rude to me, I can remove your reputation at any time!" Liu Tong shouted righteously.

Li Canghai suddenly sneered, he stared at Liu Tong, and said without the slightest fear: "Although my official position is low, I am still a student of the emperor, even this eighth-rank county magistrate is also appointed by the emperor. Although you are a governor, If you want to get rid of my reputation without reporting it to the Ministry of Officials, does your lord think that your rights can keep pace with the Holy One?"

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Huangfu Kun and Liang Xiu showed expressions of surprise, while Liu Tong was choked by his words, his oily face turned purple, his whole body trembled with anger, and he didn't know how to continue for a while.

Li Canghai's words were taken lightly, but if they were taken seriously, it would be a serious crime of conspiracy and rebellion!
As Li Canghai said, he was a student of the Son of Heaven, and even if he was the governor, if he wanted to get rid of his reputation, he had to submit it to the Ministry of Officials for impeachment.As the governor, he only has the responsibility of supervising and managing, and has no right to dismiss him.

If he really deposed Li Canghai, as long as someone handed over a note to the court, he would be charged with usurping the imperial power, dismissed from his post and investigated, and he might even risk losing his head.

Liu Tong just wanted to show off his official authority and scare him, but he was intimidated by Li Canghai's words.

After coughing twice in embarrassment, Liu Tong laughed dryly and said, "Just kidding, why is Mr. Li so serious?"

"Oh, I was just joking. The lower official has a bad heart. If he gets scared out of his wits, that would be bad." Li Canghai sneered.

The meaning of his words is obvious, that is to say, I'm holding your handle now, if you dare to embarrass me in the future, be careful that I will expose your matter.

Li Canghai is not an idiot, the officialdom is dangerous, as it has been since ancient times.

Forming cliques for private interests and eliminating dissidents has been the development path of officialdom since ancient times, not to mention that the governor is already displeased with him, if he doesn't hold some handles on him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get along as an official under him.

Liu Tong's face turned blue and pale. Although he was extremely angry, he couldn't let it out. He could only laugh a few times in embarrassment, and changed the subject: "Since Liang Xiu has admitted the crime of murder, he will be put in prison. Send it to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation!"

As he said that, Liu Tong called the servants to lock Liu Tong up.

At this time, there was a burst of clear and pleasant laughter like silver bells outside the house.

"Oh, it's raining, hehe, Fen'er likes rain, hehe."

Liang Xiu's face tightened, and he hurriedly looked outside the house.

In the heavy rain, a woman in a pink gown, with bare feet, danced in the courtyard, despite the raindrops hitting her body, she was unconscious.

"Fan'er, Fen'er!" Liang Xiu shouted impatiently.

Everyone turned their attention to Fen'er. In the night rain, Fen'er walked through the rain like an elf, and innocent laughter like silver bells echoed everywhere in the courtyard.

Seeing this, Di Qing rushed into the rain and dragged Fen'er into the house.

"Fen'er wants to dance, sister, let's dance with Fen'er! Hehe." Fen'er was drenched all over, with wet hair sticking to her forehead, she said while holding Di Qing's hand.

Suddenly seeing a lot of people, Fen'er trembled with fright, and immediately hid behind Di Qing.

"Fen'er..." Liang Xiu called with a trembling voice.

Fen'er heard Liang Xiu's voice, poked her head out from behind Di Qing, looked at Liang Xiu curiously, felt a little familiar, and walked over cautiously.

Liang Xiu stretched out his hand to stroke Fen'er's hair, with hot tears streaming from his eyes, he patted Fen'er's head, then suddenly turned to Li Canghai and said, "Canghai, I know that I have sinned deeply, but Fen'er is innocent. I die After that, I will trouble you to take care of it on your behalf, for your great kindness, Liang Xiu will definitely repay you in his next life."

Seeing Liang Xiu patting Fen'er with his hands, Li Canghai couldn't help thinking that he often pats Di Qing on the head like this.

"Master Liang, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Miss Fen'er, even if I travel all over the world, I will cure her illness." Li Canghai nodded and said solemnly.

Liang Xiu smiled gratefully at him. He seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. He stroked Fen'er's cheek and said softly: "Fen'er, I have to do something, and I will let him take care of you in the future. You must Listen to him, you know?"

Fen'er blinked her eyes and nodded half-understood. She tilted her head to look at Li Canghai, then walked towards him cautiously, and looked around him carefully.

Liu Tong shook his head and said, "It's almost time, Mr. Liang, it's time to get on the road."

Liang Xiu looked at Fen'er reluctantly, until Li Canghai nodded, he sighed, and then followed the crowd out.

Finding that Liang Xiu was missing, Fen'er suddenly became irritable, with tears hanging on her long eyelashes, she wanted to chase him out.

Di Qing grabbed her hand in time, pulled her aside, and comforted her with red eyes.

"Boy, you are so fucking courageous. A mere eighth-rank county magistrate dares to contradict a third-rank official. I really saw you right!" Huangfu Kun looked at Liu Tong and the others leaving, and slammed towards Li Canghai. He patted his shoulder again, and praised sincerely.
