Chapter 86: Arrogant Zong Ming
Chapter 86 Arrogant Zongming
Although Gu Changan smiled, what he said made Liao An feel full of danger.
This young chief assistant... is like a dormant beast.
It's daunting.
Grinning his teeth, Liao An opened his mouth with a simple and honest face: "Master Shoufu was joking, you guys are like dragons and phoenixes at first glance, and you can tell that you have extraordinary identities without being reminded. His temperament is not something ordinary people can have.”
Li Ange let out a chuckle, and raised his voice: "Master Inspector praises people very much, but..."
"It's just that all my skills are used to praise people. As a governor, it's... not appropriate." Li Qian, as the prince, has a very serious face at this time.
Liao An is not smiling at this time, nor is he not smiling. Rubbing his hands together, he said cautiously, "Second prince... what is the meaning of this? If there is any dereliction of duty, please ask the second prince and Lord Shoufu for advice, and I will definitely correct it seriously."
Ruan Youqing really couldn't stand the other party's attitude of not shedding tears without seeing the coffin, so she couldn't help frowning and said, "Lord Inspector, do you know that there are a group of refugees in the south of the city?"
"This... this..." Liao An didn't know whether to know or not.
A group of refugees were put into the city, but as the governor of the city, he didn't know it. This was his negligence of duty.
He knew that a group of refugees had been put into the city, but he ignored them, which was even more dereliction of duty.
Seeing him flustered, Gu Changan raised the corners of his lips, but his eyes were cold and stern: "As far as I know, among the refugees, the earliest ones have been here for a month. In the past month, not only have you not provided food, you have even There is no place for them to stay temporarily. You said, you are not dereliction of duty?"
Gu Changan's tone of voice was not fast, and his voice was not forceful. But to Liao An's ears, his body was getting lower and lower as if every word was shaking his life.
"I also ask Mr. Chief Assistant to be accommodating... I am an official... I am an official..."
"Our lord Shoufu is so kind-hearted, how can he have the same knowledge as us who are at a loss?" A slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded from behind the crowd.
That Zongming... actually rushed over.
It turned out that before Liao An came out to meet Ruan Youqing and the others, he ordered his servants to go to the Zongfu to invite Zong Ming. After all, there were many things...
Zong Ming was more involved than the governor.
He even said that he regarded himself as the lord of Wuyun City.
The words spoken by Zong Ming were naturally extremely harsh to the ears of Ruan Youqing and the others.
This is undoubtedly provocative.
Gu Changan did not expect the other party to be so arrogant. After hearing Zong Ming's voice, he turned around and saw a middle-aged man walking leisurely, surrounded by a group of guards.
"Who are you? Why are you speaking so frivolously?" Li Ange frowned dissatisfiedly when he saw the man approaching.
Zong Ming paused in his footsteps, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Is this smart and lovely princess our Puyang princess?"
Although it was praised, Li Ange didn't feel happy at all, instead he frowned even tighter: "Nothing to show courteousness to, **** or steal! Who are you! It's a battle bigger than this governor!"
Li Ange always speaks straightforwardly, but Zong Ming's face began to darken by being so straightforward.
But after all, he had experienced many things, he quickly adjusted his state, and continued to speak slowly: "Next is Zong Ming, the head of the Zong family in Wuyun City."
"The Patriarch of Wuyun City?" Ruan Youqing, who was standing beside Gu Changan, repeated it.
When Zong Ming saw that the little girl who spoke later was weak, a sense of arrogance rose in his heart.
Straightened his chest, Zong Ming had already figured out how to be polite when the other party flattered him.
result…
"I've never heard of it..." The little girl turned sideways and whispered to the person beside her.
No matter how low the voice is, everyone can hear it.
Zong Ming naturally couldn't hold back his face, and looked at the other party fiercely.
The corner of Ruan Youqing's mouth curled up slightly behind Gu Changan's shoulder, but his eyes were very innocent.
She knows that such an arrogant person is the best way to save face.
And he said a few words lightly, and he could ignite his evil fire.
Sure enough, Zong Ming was too lazy to maintain his smile, and strode to Liao An's side.
Liao An waved his sleeves to wipe off his sweat, and then looked at Zong Ming beside him as if asking for help.
Zong Ming continued to look at Gu Changan, and said in a deep voice: "Master Shoufu, you just came here, and you want to give us Wuyun civilian officials a blow?"
Before Gu Changan could reply, Li Qian who was on the side had already said with an angry face: "If you are an official, you don't share the worries and problems of the people. Do you deserve the name of the people's officials? Let alone the refugees outside the city, the refugees who have already entered the city Why haven’t they been given appropriate placements?”
"Your Highness, the Second Prince, is really worried about the world's worries, and has the common people in his heart, which really makes Zong admire him. It's just..." Zong Ming narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Qian, and then continued: "Your Highness is too young , you don’t know how much silver taels these refugees need for daily food and clothing. We don’t have so much silver taels to feed so many idlers in Wuyun City, and we don’t have so much food to give them for nothing. And...there are too many refugees, we have a heart If you want to control it, you can’t control it! Besides, we are also poor!”
"This...Master Zong, just the brocade clothes with dark patterns on your body are worth a thousand taels."
"This... These are my own clothes. I can't **** these clothes to support those refugees, right?" Zong Ming turned around, with an innocent look on his face.
Gu Changan listened to this conversation, and suddenly couldn't help but chuckled.
However, after laughing, he glanced at the other party, and the expression on his face became even colder:
"Zong Ming, Liao An, do you think we are here to play games with you? Liao An, you are in the position of governor, and you should be responsible for the refugees who are here. Building refugee shelters is the most important thing. At the very least, it doesn’t take much silver at all. Furthermore, if you feel that you can’t afford to support so many idlers, you can find some scattered work for them to do, and if you work, you will get something. You have raised idlers. But you have done nothing, and you don’t care about their life or death. If it weren’t for the kindness of other people in the city, this Wuyun City will inevitably become the second Jingbian. You have to know, what do people do when they are desperate? You can do it. You should understand the truth that water can carry a boat or capsize it.”
Speaking of this, Gu Changan glanced at Zong Ming again, and continued lukewarmly: "The Zong family, as a century-old family, its status and power in Wuyun City should not be underestimated. However, Zong Ming, you are a bit spectator, you Do you think that what you have is enough to support you against... the imperial court?"
Zong Ming froze, then frowned and replied: "Master Shoufu, please don't slander our clan's innocence! How could our clan want to fight against the imperial court!"
"Really? I didn't think about fighting against the imperial court... Then why did you come to see us with so many... guards?" Gu Chang'an's final voice rose slightly.
At this time, Zong Ming's face flashed viciously, then he turned his head and looked at Na Liao An, then suddenly stepped back to the side and shouted loudly to the guards he brought:
"Go and call the city guards here! There are people here who dare to pretend to be Lord Shoufu and His Royal Highness the Second Prince! Come quickly and arrest them!"
After saying these words, Zong Ming had a very arrogant smile on his face.
The sky is high, the emperor is far away! No matter how noble the status of this group of people is, in this Wuyun...
He is God!
