Chapter 423: An understatement of capture(2/2)
But Li Yi stopped him, looked at the soldier and asked: "Since your Excellency has heard of me, does it have anything to do with Zhang Weile coming to Anxin?"
When Zhang Weile led the Jinyi Guards to surround and kill him, there was even a sergeant from the Beijing Camp among them, and this person seemed to be from the Beijing Camp, so there might be some connection.
The soldier was a little surprised when he heard this. He stared at Li Yi and said: "I didn't expect that your head was so bright. My officer is Xue Lian, the Marquis of Yangwu. The people who surrounded you at that time were my friends. I listened to him.
He was so talkative, but I didn’t expect him to be a young boy.”
Li Yi didn't know much about the nobles of the imperial court, so he turned his head and looked at Li Wensheng.
Li Wensheng said in a low voice: "Since this man became Marquis of Yangwu, he should be a descendant of Xue Lu, Marquis of Yangwu. Qiyin's father's title is Marquis, and he serves in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, but he is not easy to provoke."
Relying on the merits of their ancestors, as long as they don't do anything daring and calamitous, the emperor usually won't punish them severely, so they are the most feared and hated group of people by officials and the common people.
It was also the first time for Li Yi to see a real nobleman, and he couldn't help but look up and down at Xue Lian.
He was wearing exquisite iron armor, which was passed down from his ancestors, so it was different from the Ming Dynasty's standard general armor. His eyes were fierce, and he had a fierce aura. He must not be a simple person.
At this time, a bookboy came out and said respectfully to Xue Lian: "Master Marquis, please invite them in."
Xue Lian nodded, stared at Li Yi and said, "I'll look for you later."
After saying that, he immediately moved out of the way.
The two of them walked towards the room. Li Wensheng looked back at Xue Lian and couldn't help but said: "The nobles of the imperial court are usually in charge of the capital camp. It seems that Marquis Yangwu will be in charge of the army this time."
Li Yi didn't understand these rules, so he kept them in mind.
After entering the house, Zhang Heng had already changed his clothes. After removing his official uniform, his body looked a little lean and he seemed to have lost some of his majesty.
As soon as Zhang Heng saw Li Wensheng, he smiled and said, "Prefect Li is here, I'd still like to trouble you."
Zhang Heng and Li Wensheng were chatting, but they regarded Li Yi as nothing. After they sat down and the servants brought tea, they seemed to suddenly see Li Yi and said: "It turns out that Mr. Chengfeng is here, sit down quickly."
Li Yi was not polite and did it directly.
Zhang Heng picked up the tea bowl, looked at Li Yi, and asked: "Mr. Chengfeng, are you doing the resettlement work for the victims of the Henan disaster?"
Li Yi nodded and said: "My lord, it is the lower official who is doing this. This matter concerns the court and the people, so the lower official does not dare to neglect it."
Zhang Heng nodded and said: "Since Mr. Lang is diligent in state affairs, it would be great if the court had more ministers like you."
Listening to this, Li Yi felt that he had heard wrongly. Why did Zhang Heng praise him?
"I am here this time because the emperor is concerned about the situation of the victims, so he ordered me to come and inspect. Previously, the court had many affairs, but I didn't pay much attention to them. Now that I am here this time, I must do my job well and not let him down.
The emperor's great trust. Mr. Chengfeng, do you know what I mean?"
"I don't know." Li Yi answered directly.
"Uh..." He made a big statement, but only got three words in exchange for it. Li Yi's indifferent face made Zhang Heng unbreakable, and he became upset at the moment.
"What I mean is that now that the imperial court has free time, it is natural to settle the victims properly, so the affairs of the victims still need to be handled properly. Mr. Chengfeng, just leave it to me to settle the victims. You still have to do it.
Just study hard and prepare for the provincial examination." Zhang Heng said calmly.
He looked calm and calm, but he sold four technologies and spent a lot of money and food to settle the victims. It would be too easy for you to just take away the credit for this just because you said it.
But it's actually that easy.
Zhang Hengnai came here on an errand under the orders of the emperor, and he had the power of life and death over small officials and people. Li Yi, a small sixth-grade minister, really didn't have much room to say.
Zhang Heng asked Li Yi a few questions about Anmin District. After Li Yi answered them one by one, he became impatient with the questions and directly handed Zhang Heng a document he carried with him and asked him to read it himself.
Zhang Heng read the document and praised: "Well, a small Anmin District has such a detailed plan and is very orderly. I believe Lang Zhen is a great talent."
"Sir, I really can't take it seriously." No matter what, being modest is the best thing to do.
Zhang Heng put the document aside, and then said: "Master Chengfeng, if you are so thoughtful, I will definitely report it to the court and ask for credit for you. I have already arranged people to take over the victims. You can have a good rest."
Already arranged?
Li Yi and Li Wensheng looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Zhang Heng said slowly: "I have a heavy responsibility for this trip. If anything goes wrong, I will fail the emperor's trust. Therefore, I have sent officials to the Anmin District of various states and counties at the first moment to take over the victims.
"
Only then did Li Yi understand the reason why Zhang Heng was procrastinating today.
It turns out that when he was trying to contain us, he had secretly arranged for someone to go to Anmin District. He was really treacherous.
Li Yi's eyes were slightly cold, but Li Wensheng was the first to react. He simply smiled and said: "My lord is really impatient. They are not familiar with the affairs of Baoding Mansion. If there are difficulties, you can tell your subordinates, and they will do their best."
