Chapter 104
When they came out of the Wu Mansion, the officials were still a bit confused. Did Captain Cheng just die like this?

Especially the officials belonging to the Zhongyitang faction, Cheng Lei is the captain of the guard army, after Wu Zhixiong's death, they have been faintly headed by Cheng Lei.

But Cheng Lei did this kind of thing again, saying that the person who killed him was the son of Wu Zhixiong, so they couldn't say anything.

After Li Yuan led the officials of Lianyang County to leave.

When the people who had been outside the mansion heard the news inside the Wu mansion, the people talked like an explosion:
"I didn't expect Lieutenant Cheng to dare to do such a thing. How much Junshou Wu trusted him before."

"Tsk tsk, Captain Cheng just went to play with other concubines as soon as Junshou Wu died. This kind of person really deserves to die."

"Hiss, by the way, is the death of Junshou Wu related to Cheng Xiaowei?" Suddenly a person wondered.

The people nearby fell silent for a moment,
Soon someone exclaimed:
"Damn, it seems reasonable to hear you say that!"

"I heard that Junshou Wu went there secretly, but he was attacked and killed on the way. It is likely that someone close to him revealed it."

"Damn it, it's not because Cheng Xiaowei likes Xiaomei and deliberately revealed Wu Junshou's whereabouts."

"Hey, I think it's very possible."

One person said seriously:

Do you know that Xiaomei fell in love with Cheng Xiaowei before she entered the Wu Mansion, but Wu Junshou took a fancy to Xiaomei's beauty and snatched her away, every time Cheng Xiaomei saw Xiaomei snuggling in Wu Junshou's arms cut!

Then you get the idea! "

"Furthermore, once Junshou Wu dies, Lieutenant Cheng is the most powerful person in Lianyang County. It's not impossible to become the sheriff!"

"Oh I got it!"

A few people said a word, and the surrounding conversation suddenly changed, and the people around immediately filled their minds with countless plots, about the love and hatred of Wu Zhixiong, Cheng Lei, and Xiaomei.

As night fell, the rumors that Cheng Lei framed Junshou Wu became more and more intense, and most of the people believed it.

Even the officials of the Zhongyitang faction came up with an idea, could it be that Cheng Lei framed the governor of Wu, and then wanted to be the governor himself?

That night, Li Yuan lived in the Lin Mansion and summoned sixteen major officials, including Lin Feng, Zhang Hongxing, and Wang Yi, both civil and military officials.

In the lobby, officials sat on the left and right sides.

Lin Feng looked at Zhang Hongxing, the pride in his eyes was very obvious.

Zhang Hongxing's face darkened, revealing a trace of unwillingness.

The civil servants below also had two emotions. The officials close to Lin Feng were all smiles, and the officials close to Zhang Hongxing were a little worried. Their eyes scanned the code between Lin Feng and Zhang Hongxing, with different thoughts.

But Wang Yi and the four guard generals sat aside without saying a word. They also heard the rumors about Cheng Lei framed Wu Junshou. If what happened to Cheng Lei hadn't happened today, they couldn't believe it at all.

But Cheng Lei died, and it was true that he had an affair with his concubine in the Wu Mansion. Now, as Cheng Lei's subordinates, they have received a lot of strange looks that day, and they don't know how the King of Chu treats them.

On the main seat, Li Yuan had a sullen face. Li Yuan saw everyone's different expressions, and said in a calm tone:
"Everyone, you should be clear about the purpose of this king's visit to Lianyang County this time.

First, Wu Junshou is dead, and the king needs to choose a suitable sheriff.

Second, this king has suspected for a long time that someone in Lianyang County deliberately framed Junshou Wu, so he must be found! "

Everyone's face turned cold, and they looked at Li Yuan one after another.

Li Yuan looked at Wang Yi and the four generals, and said:

"Deputy Wang, the four commanders, I have heard the rumors today, but you still remember that the rumors I said today are limited to wise men. Before there is any evidence, don't judge a person lightly. Whether Cheng Xiaowei is I still need to investigate the person who framed the governor of Wu County, and I also trust you."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust."

Wang Yi and the four commanders immediately stood up and thanked Li Yuan. They looked at Li Yuan very gratefully. The strange eyes that the officials looked at them just now made them helpless.

King Chu's words gave them an innocence.

"But because of Cheng Lei's incident, I am afraid that many officials are dissatisfied with the guards. This king wants to elect a lieutenant from among you to be in charge of the army. I am afraid that many people will not accept it.

Therefore, before the investigation of Cheng Lei's framing of Wu Junshou, I asked Yuwen Chengdu to temporarily assume the post of Lieutenant of Lianyang County. What do you think? "

The four generals looked at each other, and finally looked at Wang Yi. Wang Yi was moved when he saw Li Yuan's trusting eyes, and said respectfully:

"At the end of the day, I will obey His Highness's will."

So the four generals said at the same time:
"At the end of the day, I will obey His Highness's will."

"it is good!"

After Li Yuan saw that the five agreed, he looked at Yuwen Chengdu and said loudly:
"Yu Wencheng stepped forward to listen to the order!"

Yuwen Chengdu strode forward to take orders:
"The last will obey!"

Li Yuan said seriously:
"From today on, Yuwen Chengdu is temporarily taking the post of Lieutenant of Lianyang County to monitor the guards and protect the safety of Lianyang!"

"The last general takes orders!"

When Yu Wencheng retreated to the front and back of Wang Yi and the four generals, Li Yuan turned his eyes to a group of civil servants, and finally his eyes turned between Lin Feng and Zhang Hongxing.

Everyone didn't dare to take a breath, they all knew that the king of Chu should be appointed to the post of county guard next.

When Li Yuan's last gaze rested on Lin Feng, the officials who were close to Lin Feng were overjoyed.

Zhang Hongxing clenched his fists inside his sleeves, showing unwillingness, facing Lin Feng's complacent eyes, his eyes were full of jealousy.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Yuan announced:

"A few days ago, the king of Japan sent Jia Xu to Lianyang County in advance to understand the talents of the officials in Lianyang County. Lin Juncheng and Zhang Zhubo are both outstanding talents."

"My king intends to choose Lin Juncheng in the final selection."

Lin Feng was overjoyed, he was ready for Li Yuan's appointment!
Zhang Hongxing's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head unwillingly.

But unexpectedly, Li Yuan's words suddenly changed, causing Zhang Hongxing to suddenly raise his head.

"However, the Cheng Lei incident happened today, and I found out that I am still not very familiar with you. The case of Wu Junshou being framed has not been investigated clearly. If you appoint a sheriff at will, it will be irresponsible to the people of Lianyang County.

But there has been no sheriff in Lianyang County for a while, and how can there be no sheriff in a county?

Therefore, the king intends to let Jia Xu take up the post of Lianyang County Sheriff temporarily. "

Without waiting for Lin Feng's face to change slightly, Zhang Hongxing couldn't wait to say:
"Your Highness is wise, and I think Mr. Jia is knowledgeable and talented enough to be a county guard."

At this moment, Zhang Hongxing's heart was full of ups and downs, as long as Lin Feng was not the county guard, he would immediately agree.

"Your Highness is wise!"

A group of officials behind Zhang Hongxing immediately got up and agreed.

In the end, everyone followed Li Yuan's gaze to look at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng's face changed, and when he saw Zhang Hongxing agreeing, he sighed inwardly, and finally got up and said:

"My minister also believes that Mr. Jia is qualified for the post of sheriff."
