I have a book to play

Sun Peng arrived in Ancheng with Xie Chen an hour ago.

They were supposed to reach Ancheng faster, and even be able to fight Gan Zhen, governor of Xizhou.However, after the convoy entered the territory of Xizhou, several fires along the way were discovered one after another.The fire in some places has spread to the official road, blocking their way.

This made them arrive at Ancheng one step later.

But it was also this late step that allowed them to happen to save Pei Chu and others who were bound to the execution platform by Xizhou Biejia Xinli and were about to beheaded for public display.

After the people were settled, there was news from the Governor's Mansion that Mr. Gan had gone.

For this reason, if he still wants to get the good looks of Xie Chen and Sun Peng, Xin Li can only think about it in his dreams.

Xie Chen laughed so hard that he almost knocked his head off.

He didn't dare to answer words indiscriminately, but he didn't dare to keep silent, so he could only bite the bullet and stammered: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, I don't know what your Highness means..."

"Master Gan is seriously ill. Lord Xin and Li Changshi should be responsible for all the affairs in Xizhou. How much responsibility does Lord Xin think he should bear for this riot?"

In the past, when something happened in Xizhou, Gan Zhen was responsible for everything, and most of the responsibility for good and bad lies with Gan Zhen.They are just the people who are responsible for doing things. As long as there is no big trouble, there will be no problem.

What's more, there are many prefectures and counties in Longyou Road that are close to the frontier, and most of them are similar to Xizhou.As long as there are no major incidents, officials will choose to turn a blind eye.This has been the "rule" for so many years.

"Those, are, are some mobs... I, I just didn't, I didn't expect, there would be..."

Xin Li is still trying to find a way to shirk responsibility.

Sun Peng hissed lightly, and he couldn't drink the tea anymore: "If Master Xin said so, those common people deserve to be arrested, and those people on the execution platform should also be beheaded for public display, so that you can scare the others and scare them." Others who don't want to be submissive anymore?"

"No, it's not..." Xin Li was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.If he admits this, he will directly confront the First Prince and Yushitai.

Sun Peng snorted twice, feeling more and more that the tea in his hand was tasteless, not as fragrant as the old tea stalks in Jingming Temple.

Xie Chen glanced at him, turned to look at Xin Li again, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that Gu also needs someone to help Gu Wei, I think Master Xin is very happy to come."

Xin Li thought he had misheard, and stared blankly at Xie Chen.Even the long Shi Liyan at the side was a little dazed, subconsciously frowned, with disapproval all over his face.

However, before Xin Li could get excited, Xie Chen suddenly said: "Why don't you ask Mr. Xin to be wronged, I just need to make an example of you, so that people will know that this world belongs to Da Chu, and the people are Da Chu's people .”

Xin Li's whole body was limp, and he couldn't understand the meaning of Xie Chen's words.

"When will it be your turn to point fingers at Xie's country and allow foreigners to bully the common people!"

The moment Xie Chen finished speaking, Xin Li yelled in fright, but the words he blurted out didn't give him a chance at all, so he was gagged by the guards striding from outside the door, and dragged out mercilessly.

He was trembling with shock, he never dreamed that he would be folded here like this, struggling in panic, and asked Li Yan for help.

The latter remained silent and turned a deaf ear, still looking down at the tip of his shoe.

Until the person was dragged down and no sound could be heard, Li Yan stood still without saying a word.

Xie Chen didn't know what to think while sitting, but Sun Peng whispered a few words in his ear, then raised his eyelids and looked at Li Yan.

"Li Changshi." He said, "Where are the rest of the people locked up?"

Li Yan bowed his waist and said: "They are all locked up in the prison of the yamen." Those civilians who made trouble and rebelled were all brought back by Xin Li with the military households. Because there were a lot of people, he refused to let them go, so they were all locked up. In the prison, only a few "typicals" were caught, intending to make an example of others, but they were stopped in the end.

Thank you for getting up.On the way, when he learned that something happened in Xizhou, he changed into a satin robe, which made him look very dignified no matter how close or far he looked.

His appearance was already very outstanding, and his more than ten years of precipitation in Buddhism gave him a convincing, stable and upright demeanor from the inside out.

Li Yan didn't dare to raise his head until this time, carefully sizing up the famous and legendary eldest prince.Naturally, he didn't miss the young man in brocade clothes standing side by side with the eldest prince.

In fact, Sun Peng is no longer enough to be called a teenager.

His peers had already reached the age of getting married and having children, but he just looked thinner than others.He doesn't look short in height, but it's a pity that standing next to Xie Chen, he's a bit shorter.

At his age, it's actually a bit unexpected to work in Yushitai.But the family background of the Sun family is like this, and he himself was famous when he was young, and he became a blockbuster at a young age, so it is expected that he is like this now.

Li Yan withdrew his gaze, thinking that they were going to the prison to meet the captured civilians, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly realized that they were not heading towards the prison.

But he didn't know how to ask, he was hesitating, when he saw Sun Peng turned his head and smiled, he immediately let go of half of his heart, followed his footsteps and continued to walk forward.

The official post in Ancheng is simpler than other places, but it is not simple, it just looks a little ordinary, as if it has been empty for a long time.When Sun Peng first arrived, he was still surprised. It was not until the post official mentioned that the officials who used to come and go would be picked up by Xin Biejia before they moved into the official post. Then he realized why the place looked like it had been in disrepair for a long time.

As the official post approached, Sun Peng's pace unconsciously quickened, and he stepped over the threshold and walked in: "Sister!"

He yelled and got a quick response.

Following the sound, Li Yan looked up and saw a young woman standing there looking down from the stairs on the second floor.Beside the woman, there is still a person standing, it is Pei Chu who was about to be beheaded for public display.

Pei Chu's status in Xizhou has been speculated for many years.Theoretically, the Pei family was exiled, and the son of the Pei family was used as a military household in Xizhou.

Military households can be promoted. The men of the Pei family have died in battle, died of illness, and even disabled. Most of the female relatives who can marry have already married. In the end, only Pei Chu was alone. Live to do thousands of households.

Back then, Gan Zhen really wanted to win over the Pei family, even though the Pei family had already collapsed, but the Pei family had a long history of education, and their children were like dragons and phoenixes, extraordinary.Regardless of her status, Gan Zhen wanted to find a satisfactory marriage for her youngest daughter.

It's a pity that the Pei family declined the matter, and Pei Chu, who was the most suitable age and most desirable, even bluntly said that he still had a marriage contract in the capital.

But everyone knows that the marriage that Pei's family arranged for him back then has been snatched away by the prince Xie Zhang halfway.

Li Yan had dealt with Pei Chu before, so he knew that this man looked taciturn, but in fact he was very fierce.

He looked at the woman beside Pei Chu, and his eyes fell back on Sun Peng.

The young man's dark eyes were shining brightly, not at all like the indifference when facing Xin Li before, but more revealing joy.

"Brother Pei, are you awake?"

Sun Peng ran upstairs a few steps, and got a response from Pei Chu, then remembered that Xie Chen was following behind him, he hurriedly turned his head to look behind him, and called out "Your Highness".

Li Yan was a little worried that the eldest prince who had been overtaken by others would get angry, but looking carefully at his expression, there was nothing wrong with it, there was even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, hinting at a hint of pampering.

Compared with Xie Chen, Li Yan's age is not too young, how could he not understand this expression, he was immediately shocked.

No one in the capital concealed the news of the eldest prince's return to the secular world, and the vendors who came and went took it as a topic of conversation after dinner, spreading it all the way from the capital, so Xizhou naturally knew about it. ,

An eldest prince who has already returned to vulgarity, not to mention whether he will return to the position of prince in the future, would be surprising if he delays in marrying a wife.

Li Yan didn't dare to think about it anymore, and was wondering if he should leave this matter behind and not pay attention, when he heard footsteps coming from near him, and the young man stood in front of him again.

"Li Changshi." Sun Peng said, "Things need to be urgent, some things need Li Changshi's help."

Li Yan's face froze, his eyes paused briefly on Sun Peng's face, and he subconsciously wanted to look at Xie Chen.In the middle of the journey, he accidentally saw the delicate white hand held by Pei Chu, and could only look away.

"If your highness and lord censor can be used by officials, just order them."

How could Sun Peng miss Li Yan's small movements, following his gaze, he also noticed the handshake between Sun Xian and Pei Chu.

He tried not to laugh out loud, but his heart was full of joy, but he still said serious words: "Li Changshi, the current situation in Xizhou, I think you have seen it. Governor Gan just passed away, and His Highness and I I must go to visit, but the matter in Xizhou is urgent. It is not only the fire, but also the style of the people's resistance, all of which are ultimately rooted in those barbarians."

Li Yan listened attentively.

He had heard about Sun Peng's reputation, especially the incident in Jiangnan Dongdao, and the movement of Wang's family in the capital, even Longyoudao had heard of it.

Longyou Dao has been with so many supervisory censors, and this time when they heard that Sun Peng was going to be transferred, some officials had already shaken their heads in private and thought that the young man had offended the Wang family in the capital, so Emperor Xihe was furious Then throw it to Longyou Road.

But Li Yan didn't think that, with just a few words, he knew that the young man had real talents and learning, and with the Eldest Prince by his side, he was afraid that Xizhou would really be cleaned up this time.

He suddenly felt a little thankful that in these years, no matter how hard and tired he was, he stuck to the bottom line, and refused to back down and do something that violated the hadith.

Li Yan thought about it, then lowered his head: "Master Yushi just give orders."

Sun Peng smiled and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then please trouble Li Changshi, please come here in two days from all the officials in Xizhou, and say that His Highness has something important to call." He paused, and added, "It's about Citizens of Xizhou, please be sure to come and see me, my lords."

"like……"

"If someone doesn't come," Xie Chen stood on the stairs condescendingly, looking down at Li Yan indifferently, "then let him consider whether he is qualified to be thrown out to feed the wolves alone."
