Chapter 183
"Nonsense! Don't I know what you are talking about, but...but how am I going to face Master Zhongcheng?"

Futai Litian said with a cry.

Concealing the regional riots is itself a mess for them.

What's more, Zhong Cheng from Kyoto came to ask about the incident in person. If he had all kinds of evidence, no matter how he explained it, it would be in vain.

How can the officials under his command care about his attitude? As long as they can ensure their own safety, then thank God.

"Master Futai, well...it seems like you can't avoid tonight's events." The master next to him said.

For them, as long as Zhong Cheng comes to inquire about the root cause in person, the lower official must report the problem to them.

Moreover, Yang Li's behavior has aroused their suspicion.

Although Changping County does not need Yunzhou, they are also the only way to Yunzhou.

If Yang Li's escape route did not pass through them, no one would believe it.

"Okay, okay! That's all you have." Li Tian said impatiently.

At this point, no matter what, he has to face it personally.

And Yang Yanzhang's attitude just now showed his attitude.

If he hadn't found anything through investigation, how could he treat himself like this?

When he said this, he began to walk towards the government office impatiently.

But when he first entered the government office, he found that Yang Yanzhang was already sitting in the court hall.

Snapped!
A gavel sounded.

Yang Yanzhang looked at the person in front of him with an unkind expression and asked, "As the magistrate of Changping County, you actually lied about the truth. What crime do you deserve?"

Li Tian's legs immediately became weak and he knelt on the ground.

"Master Zhongcheng, I...I don't. These have nothing to do with me."

"Master Zhongcheng, please take a closer look..."

The group of officials standing behind Li Tian all knelt down.

For a while!

The entire court was silent, and all the officials were quietly waiting for Yang Yanzhang's statement.

Seeing this, Li Qinwei came to Yang Yanzhang's side and whispered: "Master Zhongcheng, the teams of Li Yujin and Tang Bin have driven back Yang Li, and their retreat route is here."

As Yang Yanzhang's right-hand man, it is impossible for Li Qinwei not to investigate the source of these things.

And just before arriving at the Changping County Government Office, the scout specifically informed him of the situation.

Now the Changping County government office deliberately made up reasons, just to deceive the past.

After hearing this, Yang Yanzhang nodded slowly and said, "I understand."

Yang Yanzhang really didn't want to say anything to the government officials in front of him.

If we hadn't encountered these rogue rebels today, we wouldn't be in such a hurry.

However, he went to the scene in person, but no one greeted him.

In the end, you still need your own people, and you will only find them if you go to Jinggu.

"Your name is Li Tian, ​​and you are the official residence of Changping County, right?" Yang Yanzhang asked expressionlessly.

In fact, before coming here, he knew Li Tian's identity and even more about his personality.

"Yes, yes, the younger one is indeed called Li Tian. I wonder if Master Zhongcheng has any inquiries."

Li Tian didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. After all, what happened between him and his concubine just now was revealed by Yang Yanzhang in front of him.

Although he didn't go there in person, if he knew what happened just now, even Yang Yanzhang would not let him go. He could only say that he gave the other party an excuse to punish him. "To put it this way, it seems that you think about everything for the sake of the country." Yang Yanzhang said scornfully.

If it was really what he said, it would be impossible for Yang Li to lead people to escape from his jurisdiction today.

What is even more irritating is that so many innocent people were murdered by them.

The reason is that the local officials are cowardly and fearful of trouble, and no one can deal with them.

"Lord Zhongcheng, I...I am indeed innocent, I..."

Li Tian was completely panicked.

If he took this matter back and handed it over to the court, he might die without knowing it.

What's more, since Yang Yanzhang, the censor Zhongcheng, came with the order of Empress Dowager Wu Zetian, he should be executed.

"Besides, Yang Li has his own troops. He has already taken in many bandits in his early years. I...I am really beyond his reach." Li Tian couldn't help explaining his experience.

But logically speaking, he is indeed in a difficult position as a government official.

Yang Li's strength, since he can cholera the entire southwest, proves that he is capable enough.

However, the imperial court has not sent reinforcements for a long time. As a result, he, a local official, has no place to vent his suffering.

Now, the censor Zhongcheng was suddenly sent down, making it clear that they would not be given a way to survive.

"Huh? When you say this, it seems that you are dissatisfied with the imperial court." Yang Yanzhang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

As a local official in the lobby, he actually concealed the truth about the local rebellion and did not report it.

Even if the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty say that he intends to cover up or is complicit in the evil, they can still be framed in the future.

Now Yang Yanzhang came in person to quell the rebellion in the southwest.

But he didn't want to run into obstacles everywhere, even the local officials in the lobby hid so much from him.

"Lord Zhongcheng! I... our place is not as good as the capital." Li Tian began to complain.

It is true that they are not as carefree as they are. After all, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Even if the capital has a decree, it is already many queens.

After Yang Yanzhang heard what he said, he immediately understood what he meant and asked: "Two thousand miles is urgent. If there is an emergency, we can dispatch the army next door to suppress it, but what did you do?"

Their eyes were fixed on Li Tian who was kneeling under the court, and the other officials were even trembling with fear.

There was no one present who did not understand the laws of the Tang Dynasty. What they had done had violated the key to the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

"I……"

Li Tian was completely speechless.

Even the government officials had nothing to say, and the officials under his command were eager to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

As long as Yang Yanzhang didn't name him, no one would be able to speak out.

"master!"

"Slave... my family has been waiting for you for a long time."

At the critical moment, the concubine suddenly broke out from the back hall.

Upon seeing this, Li Tian was so frightened that he immediately opened his eyes and yelled angrily: "You...why did you come out?"

Such a problem occurred in Changping County. Not only did he do nothing, but he also followed his concubine to look for flowers and willows.

"I've been waiting for you for so long, and I've never seen you delay before." The concubine said reproachfully.

It seemed that Yang Yanzhang in the hall was not taken seriously at all.
