Chapter 466 Wind and Rain
The hall echoed Li Ang's reprimand,
He Dong Dao observation made the seal, purple gold fish bag and other keepsakes on his waist collide with each other, making a crisp sound.
“.”
Wang Bofan was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, calmed the twitching muscles on his face, and said calmly: "So, Mr. Li Xiaolang doesn't want to let Mrs. Wang go."
"The plague that occurred in Taiyuan Mansion is inseparably related to Wang's behavior of conniving with the clansmen and not reporting when they knew about it. It is not so much that you are trapped with the people of Taiyuan Mansion.
It would be better to say that the people of Taiyuan Prefecture were dragged into the water by you. In this case, you don't want to be alone and enjoy the years. "
Li Ang said: "What's more, in the whole world, is it the king's land, and the shore of the land is the king's minister.
This is the territory of the State of Yu, so it is necessary to talk about the laws of Yu, the laws of the country, and the rule of law.
There is no difference in law between the people and the common people, and they must abide by the laws of Yu and obey government orders.
Finally, as much welfare and preferential treatment as you enjoy, you have to bear the corresponding responsibility.
Your Wang family has occupied Taiyuan for thousands of years, and all your food, clothing and clothes come from generation after generation of people in Taiyuan, so how can you just leave? "
"It's a good one to pull people into trouble, a good one to talk about the laws of Yu and the laws of the country, and a good one to unify responsibilities and powers."
Wang Bofan's chest was about to explode with anger, but his face still maintained the calm demeanor raised by a thousand-year-old family.
He nodded calmly, without any expression on his well-maintained face, and said calmly: "In this case, the Caomin will go back and inform the Wang clan about the Taiyuan government's decision."
"good."
Li Ang nodded, watching Wang Bofan flick his sleeves chicly, then turned and left.
Gudong.
The prefect of Taiyuan swallowed hard. Unlike the proud son of heaven in purple robes next to him, he has never been admitted to the academy.
Relying on his own efforts and a little help from his father-in-law, he climbed step by step from the lowest county magistrate to where he is today.
Because of this, he knew better how broad and far-reaching power and influence such a thousand-year-old family with five surnames and seven wangs had in Yu State.
When gods fight, mortals suffer
The Taiyuan prefect wiped the sweat from his forehead, and left the prefect's mansion under the pretext of going to implement Li Ang's decree to curb the plague.
He didn't want to get involved in conflicts between the academy, the aristocratic family, and maybe the imperial power, and he didn't know how he died. During this period of time, it’s better to lie dormant first, do your own job well, and treat the rest as if you didn’t see or hear anything.
"This prefect runs backwards."
Li Ang, who stayed in the hall, couldn't help but sneered when he saw the back of the Taiyuan prefect holding his belt and leaving in a hurry.
"He is afraid."
In the dark corner, Yan Yundang, wearing armor and holding a horse, came out silently, and said in a deep voice: "You are the best disciple of the academy this year, and you are also the Observation Envoy of Hedong Road who was ordered in danger.
You yelled at Mrs. Wang on the first day you arrived in Taiyuan Mansion. It's hard not to think about it. "
"Association of what, partisanship?"
Li Ang laughed and said: "I've already given Wang a lot of face, otherwise, during the daytime, I should bring soldiers and horses to his mansion to arrest people."
Yan Yundang frowned slightly and said: "The Wang family is very powerful."
Li Ang shook his head, "It's not as big as the laws of the country."
“.”
Yan Yundang changed his eyes, as if to say, "I think it's a little funny when you say Yu Lu."
"I know."
Li Ang rolled his eyes, "The Wang family is a thousand-year-old family, and the network formed by marriage, master-student, classmate, and party relationship spreads throughout the entire Yu State.
The family has accumulated countless generations of wealth, classics, and treasures, and has trained hundreds of monks.
and so on. "
Yan Yundang asked suspiciously: "Do you know that will force them to die?"
Li Ang curled his lips and said: "I didn't create this dead end, they paved it themselves. What's more, they are just not allowed to leave the city, not to the point of closing the dead end."
Yan Yundang said: "There will be impeachment."
"Heh, what are you impeaching me for? Corruption, embezzlement of public funds? Or obsession with beauty, moral corruption?"
Li Ang shook his head and said: "Although I don't like the title of Little Medicine King God, it can indeed save my life.
Even the Taiyuan Wang family would not be able to slander me so quickly on a social and moral level.
It is even more impossible to risk the displeasure of the world and commit assassinations.
The most likely thing is to put pressure on the Chang'an court to force the court to let me withdraw my order and let Wang go.
Or simply ask the court to change someone to be the observer of the Hedong Road.
But it’s not.”
He took out a letter from his arms and put it on the table.
Yan Yundang glanced at Lian Xuanxiao's name on the letter, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"The letter from the head of the mountain just arrived in the evening."
Li Ang said: "He has already informed the Academy, and then there will be doctors and classmates from the Academy to come to Taiyuan to help me."
"That's good."
Yan Yundang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he is a martial arts master equivalent to the realm of Zhuxiao, the Wang family has occupied Taiyuan Mansion for thousands of years. God knows how far they have penetrated Taiyuan.
In case Li Ang really died, Yan Yundang didn't have much confidence that he could take Li Ang out of Taiyuan Mansion under the assassination of countless monks of the Wang family.
With the doctoral students from the Academy, Taiyuan Wang must be cautious and weigh the risks and benefits of completely tearing up the face with the Academy.
"But I still don't understand something."
Yan Yundang thought for a moment and asked: "Since you hate the Wang family so much, why don't you just reach a tacit agreement with Wang Bofan.
Let the Wang family hand over a few or a dozen clansmen who condoned the plague and did not report it, put the culprit in prison, and let other Wang family members leave? "
"It's meaningless. There are countless members of the Wang clan, and you can easily find a few unlucky people with family values in their minds from the branches and collaterals, and take the blame for the chief culprit.
As for my insistence on allowing Mrs. Wang to stay in Taiyuan, it’s not just to vent my anger.”
Li Ang shook his head and said, looking outside the prefect's mansion, the city shrouded in the vast night, muttered: "From what I observed during the day, this plague has just begun.
I need to use Wang's power. "
Under the boundless night, the lights of each house gradually went out.
Various sounds that were different from those during the day were heard in the city.
The sound of lazy insects chirping at the end of autumn, the chirping of frogs in the pond by the river, the snoring of husbands, the crying of babies, the sound of women coaxing their children, the sound of clockwork on the street, the regular bells in the clock tower, the swaying wind day ringtone.
And, coughing.
"Ahem—"
Lifu who slept in the dock dormitory was coughing,
"Ahem—"
The waiter sleeping on the bed in the inn is coughing,
"Ahem—"
The wealthy businessman sleeping in a mansion with his concubine in his arms is coughing,
Thousands of households, countless people of different identities and ages are breathing and coughing.
