Martial Sage

Chapter 601: The Power of the King

The carriage hit the road again.

Crossing the street, turning around the alley, and stopping at the gate of the government office.

Tang Hao jumped out of the carriage and entered his eyes, in front of the magnificent mansion, the soldiers in armor and soldiers, sweating profusely, but motionless.

The solemn Guardian Lions hung a stone ball, proclaiming the majesty of the palace.

Ascended the steps, there were soldiers blocking the way.

“Whoever comes to the mansion, report the name.”

Looking at the soldiers crossing in front of him, and the soldiers with majestic faces, Tang Hao cupped hands.

“Tang Hao, Commander of the Tang Dynasty, came here to investigate the locust plague on an order, and both of you will let me know.”

Hearing this, the two pairs of eyes under the tasseled helmet hesitated for a moment, looked at each other, one person said.

“The heat is unbearable, and Master Governor fainted. He also asked the commanding officer to return to the mansion first, and Master Governor will visit him another day.”

The subtle eye contact between the two soldiers fell into Tang Hao’s eyes, and their hearts sank, fearing that there was something hidden in this closed-door thank you.

“It’s a coincidence that the officer knows a little bit of medicine and can just check the condition.”

As he spoke, he had already taken a step forward, no more than an inch away from the intertwined spears.

The two soldiers leaned forward, pointed directly at Tang Hao’s throat, and said solemnly.

“My lord, we are acting on orders, so don’t make us embarrassed.”

Tang Hao raised his eyebrows, and the bitter killing intent he had cultivated on the battlefield suddenly radiated. The chill in his eyes was full, and he shouted.

“Your Majesty’s decree, to obstruct the investigators, kill them.”

After the voice exited, Wu Tongtang’s sword came out of its sheath behind him and strode forward.

“stop!”

A clear drink was passed down from the main gate of the government office.

The gray-bearded old man, dressed in a scarlet official uniform, looked anxious, and staggered.

“I don’t know if it was the imperial court order officer who came here, but he couldn’t go out of the city to welcome him. I still hope that the adults will forgive me.”

The spear in front of him was suddenly removed, and the soldiers retreated to the sides.

Tang Hao strode up the steps without looking at the old man, and went straight into the mansion.

The old man hobbled all the way, followed by his side, chattering hoarsely.

“Don’t bother the adults to come in person, just stay in the reception mansion, and the old man will visit him in person.”

“Coming this time, the old man is terrified.”

Although Tang Hao was wearing a bright white shirt, the old man knew in his heart that the officials appointed from the court, regardless of their ranks, could easily control his state and county governor.

Therefore, he is respectful and respectful in his attitude and does not dare to neglect.

Seeing Tang Hao seated, the old man waved to the side of the hall, but he stood on the hall with a bow, not seated.

Not long after, a plate of cut melons was brought up.

Tang Hao was not in a hurry, took two pieces, and handed them to Wu Tong and Li Zhi, who were beside him, and took a bite by himself.

The entrance is cold, fragrant, crisp and sweet, and most of the heat accumulated in the breast is removed.

“Melons and fruits are not bad, it is necessary to relieve the heat, Master Cishi, come one?”

Seeing Tang Hao’s undiminished smile on his face and a modest tone, he handed over melons and fruits, but he became more and more panicked in his heart.

The old man trembled and hurriedly waved his hand.

“These melons and fruits were prepared specially for the adults by the old man. I hope the adults…”

The cold words directly interrupted the old man’s chatter.

“People of Qingzhou, can’t eat enough, you still have this thought!”

“You… are at ease?”

The voice was not loud, but it was extremely powerful, and the old man bowed his head and dared not speak.

In the hall, there was silence, and a feeling of depression was swelling and fermenting.

Slowly, Tang Hao stood up, walked to the shivering old man in the hall step by step, and sternly criticized.

“Locust plagues everywhere, why report the severe drought directly?”

“The whole city is terrified, grabbing food everywhere, why can’t you see a soldier and a soldier on the street?”

“The hungry people are all over the streets and alleys, why don’t you see the government offering porridge and food?”

In the drooping eyes, the official boots stopped in front of him were reflected, and the old man trembled and said in a trembled voice.

“The official warehouse…there is no grain of millet in the official warehouse, and there is no grain…to put it in.”

Tang Hao didn’t close his eyes, looking down at his trembling figure like chaff, said.

“That is, there is no Misu, why did Master Chen not report when he left?”

“Why are there no Qingzhou memorials on the court?”

A question was repeated, and the old man’s defense line was constantly impacted. The frightened old man slowly turned his head, looking at the guard holding a knife on the side of the temple, and said.

“Old…old…dereliction of duty, I hope you will forgive me.”

Tang Hao slowly raised his head, stood with his hand in the Great Hall, and shouted.

“The governor’s dereliction of duty will bring harm to the people of Qingzhou, and take away the lives and deaths of the people of Qingzhou!”

Wu Tong strode forward, picked up the figure on the ground, and held it in his hand.

“Wait!”

A shout came from the side of the hall.

The mansion guards slowly walked into the hall, blocking in front of Tang Hao and Wu Tong.

“My lord, since this Qingzhou provincial governor is guilty of the crime and messing up the entire Qingzhou people, this is a serious matter. It should be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs or Dali Temple for trial.”

“Take it away like this, I’m afraid it’s a violation of the process, and something is wrong.”

Tang Hao slowly took a step forward, staring into the eyes of the guard, and shouted.

“My majesty is in charge of handling the case. Why do you need a guard to intervene?”

“Go away!”

Meeting those chilly eyes, the guard’s heart trembled, as if there was something shocking in those eyes, tugging at his restless mind.

The guard secretly swallowed, then slowly withdrew a step, letting go.

Tang Hao strode out of the palace and shouted sharply.

“The case is not settled, and the entire government is suspected. Those who don’t report it will be guilty of the same crime as those who violated the law.”
