The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 815 Afraid, not afraid!
Hu Lizhen left lonely.

The villagers didn't dare to accept the food he handed over, and the guards didn't obey his orders, so Wang Qing'an just waited to see his jokes.

There was no point in staying any longer, so Hu Lizhen simply chose to leave. At this moment, he was still thinking about Wang Qingan's ridicule.

Because he was an upright official, Hu Lizhen himself came on foot, but at this moment he remembered something.

"Tell me honestly, who leaked the news of my departure?"

If Gao Wenbai hadn't been notified, how could the latter appear in the backcountry immediately.

It is simply unrealistic to overthrow Gao Wenbai without taking down the house thief, so Hu Lizhen pressed for questions at this moment.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Hu Lizhen sneered and said, "You are afraid of Gao Wenbai, but do you know that they committed the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

"The emperor's decree says that people with more than [-] mu of land should be taxed...Think about it for yourself, what a crime they are!"

"The current emperor is the most disrespectful person to be a criminal. After entering the capital, he beheaded and exiled tens of thousands of people..."

It was Gao Wenbo who was unreasonable just now, and Hu Lizhen had nothing to do, but now that the boss is not around, it is easy to frighten these servants.

Seeing that everyone was already afraid, Hu Lizhen went on to say: "If you listen to Gao Wenbai's words wholeheartedly, you will become his accomplices. What will happen then...Think about it for yourself!"

"My lord, it's Master Zhou..." Catcher couldn't bear the pressure, so he had to tell the truth.

It has to be said that Hu Lizhen felt a little sad at this moment, because the entire county government was on the opposite side of him.

At this moment, there was a noise behind them, causing Hu Lizhen and others to look back.

Then I saw someone running towards me in the distance, shouting "Help" in my mouth.

"My lord, die!"

"What's going on?" Hu Lizhen stopped and asked.

"The village has been attacked by thieves, take someone back to catch the thieves!"

As soon as he heard that there were thieves, Hu Lizhen immediately worried about the safety of the people, and then asked, "How many thieves are there?"

"There are six or seven people in total, and they are looting in the village now. I am afraid that the master will be kicked to death by them!"

Hearing that the Wang family was in trouble, Hu Lizhen felt happy, but as a parent official, he must not let the thieves run rampant.

"Go, catch the thief!"

Although the guards were a little reluctant, but Hu Lizhen rushed forward, so they could only follow, after all, this was their most professional job.

Besides, in the village, under Zhao Yanxun's instruction, more than a dozen masked guards rushed into the Wang's house and made a fuss.

I don't know whether Zhang Meng kicked Wang Qing'an to death on purpose or not. At the same time, he opened up the warehouse of the Wang family and scattered all the money and food.

When Hu Lizhen returned with her people, the good Wang family was already in ruins.

Wang Qing'an died, and the servants and maidservants in the house fled with injuries, but there was no "thief" in sight.

"Can you see where the thief went?" Hu Lizhen asked the trembling villagers in the thatched cottage.

"If you go back to the master, all the thieves have escaped!"

"Where did you escape?"

"The villain doesn't know!"

Seeing that he couldn't find out why, Hu Lizhen was arranging his men to search, but saw a young man in civilian clothes coming from a distance.

Behind this young man, followed by a burly man, these two are Zhao Yanxun and Zhang Meng.

Just looking at the two of Zhao Yanxun, Hu Lizhen noticed how extraordinary these two were, and was surprised at the same time.

Logically speaking, there should not be such outstanding figures in this remote mountainous place.

"Your Majesty, I'm being polite!"

As soon as Zhao Yanxun came and said such courtesy, even though the other party was young, Hu Lizhen returned the courtesy.

"The matter of talent just now, I can see everything in my eyes!"

"Oh? What did you see?"

"The county magistrate wanted to punish the evil, but was blocked by the superior. Now that karma has come, the Wang family has been robbed by a strongman. Wouldn't it be a matter of great pleasure?"

After hearing Zhao Yanxun's words, Hu Lizhen replied: "Young people, the wicked must be punished, and the strong must be arrested. They should not be confused!"

Immediately afterwards, Hu Lizhen sighed, and said: "I have not done any of these two things. I am ashamed of this official uniform!"

After a few breaths of silence, Zhao Yanxun said: "Compared to those corrupt officials, the county lord is as bright as the moon!"

Hearing this sentence of relief, Hu Lizhen just smiled, feeling a little more fond of Zhao Yanxun in her heart.

Just as he was about to ask Zhao Yanxun about his background, he heard Zhao Yanxun ask again: "You have offended your boss, I think your life will not be easy in the future, and maybe your life is in danger!"

Staring into Hu Lizhen's eyes, Zhao Yanxun asked in a deep voice, "Aren't you afraid?"

Hu Lizhen didn't know that this was the most important interview in his life.

"Afraid, not afraid!"

Could it be that when he met a "friend" who could chat, Hu Lizhen naturally opened up the conversation box.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Yanxun asked.

"Shangguan's power overwhelms people, I sail like a boat in a big wave, like a candle in a strong wind, how can I not be afraid?"

With the bitterness on his face, Hu Lizhen continued to count: "However, we have read the books of sages and sages, and we have received great favors from the country. How can we not think about the ambition of loving the people and serving the country?"

"The sages have said: Although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go! Although I don't need the sages, I have more courage than others, so I am not afraid!"

After hearing Hu Lizhen's words, Zhao Yanxun had a higher opinion of Hu Lizhen.

It is rare to meet such a person who can speak great principles but practice them personally but is as difficult as reaching the sky.

"Your Excellency's righteousness is admirable!" Zhao Yanxun praised.

Obviously, Hu Lizhen's interview was very successful, but he didn't know it.

"If an upright person like your Excellency is killed by a traitor, it will be a great loss to the people of the court!"

Zhao Yanxun said very sincerely: "At my next home, I have some contacts in the capital. If Huzhi County needs help, you can tell me straight!"

Unexpectedly, Hu Lizhen smiled, he only thought that Zhao Yanxun was young, and he didn't know the heights of heaven and earth.

"Young man, this matter involves a lot. I'm afraid your family can't help, so don't make trouble for the elders in the family!"

From Hu Lizhen's point of view, Gao Wenbo was right, his trip today would make some people in the county government and even the household department unhappy, and if Zhao Yanxun got involved, it would only harm the other party.

Therefore, Hu Lizhen rejected his kindness.

"If you really want to help me, you have to keep the pure heart in your heart, and plead for the common people more when you come to serve in the sun!" Hu Lizhen smiled.

Zhao Yanxun also smiled, since Hu Lizhen didn't speak, then he didn't force it.

"You have been taught, then I wish you good luck, and I should go back!" Zhao Yanxun smiled slightly.

At that moment, Zhao Yanxun regained the majesty of the emperor, which greatly shocked Hu Lizhen.

But the next moment he took a closer look, the boy was still the same boy, and he was bidding farewell to himself.

It wasn't until Zhao Yanxun left that Hu Lizhen remembered that he forgot the other party's name, but at this time the other party had already gone away.

But right now, he still has business to do, so he can only leave regrets.

On the other side, Zhao Yanxun and Zhang Meng walked on the mountain road, and the two of them didn't talk all the way.

Finally, Zhao Yanxun broke the silence and asked, "Would you kill your life if you were told to rob you?"

Zhang Meng knelt down very simply, and then said: "I make my own decision, it has nothing to do with others, please punish me!"

Glancing at Zhang Meng on the ground, Zhao Yanxun sighed: "For such a person, there should be laws to kill him, which is more meaningful than killing him directly!"

"Yes!"

"Get up!"

"Yes!"

Governing the country according to law and allowing justice to be done is a good policy for governing the country.

Although it was Zhang Meng who made up his own mind and killed people in a fit of passion, Zhao Yanxun also let it go.

Therefore, accusing Zhang Meng is actually Zhao Yanxun's self-reflection.

It's just that the emperor knows his mistakes and corrects them, but he must never admit his mistakes.
