Happy Emperor

Chapter 152 Arrival at Qingning Mansion

Lin Tian didn't hesitate for a moment, he immediately mounted his horse and ordered An Bilie: "Let's go, rush to Qingning Mansion at full speed."

An Bilie saw that Emperor Li had a frown on his face.

Although he didn't know why Emperor Li was so anxious, he didn't dare to ask and immediately rode up to follow him.

.......

Five hundred imperial guards hurried on at full speed.

Without stopping at any point on the way, they finally arrived at the city of Qingning Prefecture in an hour.

Outside the city, a large number of people from Qingning Prefecture were lying in a pool of blood, and the sounds of wailing and crying were endless.

Obviously, Huang Tianba had just massacred the civilians defending the city and forced his way into Qingning Mansion.

Seeing this, Lin Tian just frowned, glanced around coldly and said nothing.

"Your Majesty, would you like to send someone to treat these people?"

Qi Mengchan on the side felt a little reluctant and said tentatively.

Lin Tian did not reply, but looked at the more than a thousand soldiers running out of Qingning Mansion.

"Your Majesty, General Huang has ordered us to wait for you once again and escort you into the city."

"Where is Huang Tianba?" Lin Tian asked coldly.

He was not looking for Huang Tianba to punish him for slaughtering the "fools" and entering the city without his orders.

On the contrary, Lin Tian admired Huang Tianba very much for knowing what it meant to be a general who did not obey military orders when he was away from home.

The Qingning Mansion has stored millions of kilograms of grain. If Tang Bo sends someone to set the grain on fire before escaping, Lin Tian will be in danger.

Without these grains, not only will the food supply of the front-line troops be affected, but it will also be an extremely unstable factor for the people in Qingning Prefecture who have been plundered and have no food to eat.

"General Huang is currently leading his men to rescue the granary."

A captain knelt down and bowed in reply.

"Let's go. Lead the way to the granary."

Hearing this, Lin Tian let out a breath of foul air.

I finally felt relieved.

At this time, An Bilie and others on the side suddenly realized and finally understood why Emperor Li was so anxious just now.

It didn't take long.

Lin Tian and his group, led by the centurion, came to the granary area of ​​Qingning Prefecture.

This area is now heavily guarded.

But when they saw that it was Emperor Li coming, the guards immediately made way for him.

Huang Tianba hurriedly walked through the crowd.

"I bow to my emperor, my emperor..."

"Has there been any loss of food?"

Lin Tian interrupted and asked directly.

"No, not a single grain of food is missing." Huang Tianba stood up and laughed with his mouth wide open.

"Well done!"

Lin Tian walked up to Huang Tianba and patted his shoulders heavily several times.

"Your Majesty, I made a mistake just now. I hope Your Majesty will not blame me."

Huang Tianba put away his smile, frowned and spoke.

"I rushed into the city just now and slaughtered some civilians."

"Idiots, just kill them."

Lin Tian laughed and replied.

"I'm right, right? Emperor Li won't punish me just for killing a few civilians. You lost the bet. When I return from the front, you have to invite me to the brothel to listen to music."

Huang Tianba laughed wildly and said to a middle-aged man beside him.

When Lin Tian heard that Huang Tianba dared to bet with him, his face suddenly turned dark.

He said in a cold voice: "Huang Tianba, this time it is because of a reason. If you massacre any of the people of Daxia for no reason, I will not let you go."

Although Lin Tian's expression was serious, he was not really angry.

He also knew that Huang Tianba would never kill people for no reason, especially those who were unarmed.

So these words are only said to outsiders.

Lin Tian noticed that there was a middle-aged man standing next to Huang Tianba, and his face looked a little embarrassed at the moment.

He probably didn't expect that Huang Tianba would directly tell Emperor Li about their bet.

"Who is this?"

Lin Tian looked at the man and asked.

"Your Majesty, I am Batu Wen, the nephew of Batu Lin, and I was once the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner of Liaoan Province. I currently hold the position of the Minister of Warehouse of Liaoan Province."

When the middle-aged man saw Emperor Li looking at him, he quickly knelt on the ground and replied.

"Someone from the Batu family?"

Lin Tian looked at the man seriously for a few seconds.

He had heard of this person before, and it was true that he had served as the Attorney General of Ontario.

It seems that Tang Bo, who became the governor, dismissed him from his post and made him guard the granary.

This Tang Bo really thought of his way out and even chose someone from Batu's family to build the granary.

If there is a problem with the granary, it can also be used to provoke conflicts between Emperor Li and the Batu family.

"Your Majesty, we are fortunate to have this old brother." Huang Tianba bowed and his expression became serious.

"If he hadn't sent someone out of the city to tell me that Tang Bo wanted to destroy the grain, I probably wouldn't have dared to make the decision to charge into the city. Then the grain would probably have..."

"Oh?"

Lin Tian looked at Batu Wen again.

"Batu Wen, you have done a great job!"

"Your Majesty, I dare not take away the credit for General Huang's work. If General Huang had not decisively entered the city, I alone would not have been able to stop Tang Bo's actions."

Batu Wen looked at Emperor Li sincerely and replied. When he mentioned Tang Bo, there was a hint of resentment in his eyes.

"Brother, why are you so polite? If you hadn't brought people to protect the granary, I think they would have set it on fire by the time I got here."

Huang Tianba said anxiously, "Your Majesty, although Batu Wen is from the Batu family, he is different from Baturin's two cowardly sons. He was actually bullied by Tang Bo and ran away to Jifeng Province."

"When I arrived, this old man was wielding a long sword and engaging in a fierce fight with over ten people. This kind of courage is not something a scholar can possess. If I had arrived a little later, I'm sure this old man would have become a victim of those bastards' swords."

Although Huang Tianba spoke for Batu Wen again, his expression was not good.

Lin Tian was also speechless.

Who the hell would dare to come out and yell at someone from the family right in front of them?

"Batu Wen, you have made an invaluable contribution this time." Lin Tian said loudly in front of the soldiers, "I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Batu Wen, obey my orders. I will restore your position as the Provincial Surveillance Commissioner of Liaoan Province, and you will also serve as the Provincial Governor."

"Thank you, Lord Long."

"Where's Tang Bo?"

Lin Tian asked the two of them.

This Tang Bo can be said to be extremely hateful, so Lin Tian will naturally not let him go.

The most important thing is that Tang Bo is Lin Zhen's man. He must have letters contacting Lin Zhen in his hands, and he may even know about the conspiracy between Lin Zhen and the Zhao people.

If we can capture this person alive and obtain some evidence of Lin Zhen's conspiracy with the State of Zhao, it will not be so easy for Lin Zhen to deny his debt.

"Your Majesty, after I entered the city, I ordered all the gates in and out of Qingning Prefecture to be sealed. He should still be in the city."

Huang Tianba frowned slightly and replied, "But he was not in the governor's mansion, so we couldn't catch him for a while."

"kindness."

Lin Tian nodded, his face slightly cold.

Qingning Prefecture was about the same size as Shengjing, and its population numbered in the hundreds of thousands. Catching someone in a vast Qingning Prefecture would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

And it is impossible to keep the city gates blocked all the time.

"Batu Wen, first redistribute the extra tax grain that Tang Bo has collected during this period to the people of Qingning Prefecture to appease their hearts."

"As for the people who were massacred today, I don't care what you say. But my only request is that this mistake be blamed on Tang Bo, and appropriate silver can be given to the families of these people as compensation."

Lin Tian thought for a moment and then gave an order to Batu Wen.

"According to the order!"

"Your Majesty." Batu did not leave immediately after receiving the order. After thinking for a moment, he bowed and said, "I may know where Tang Bo is hiding."
