    Chapter 332 Thirty-six thousand pills

    Before going to the southwest, Fang Fangjie thought about how to meet Luo Yao many times and what the first meeting would be like.  But when he saw the man walking towards him and looked into his eyes, he realized that he was really unprepared.

    Fang Jie hasn¡¯t felt panicked for a long time.

    He is a little panicked now.

    Luo Yao did not wear any armor, only a navy blue robe, a jade belt around his waist, and cloth shoes instead of riding boots.  He clasped his hands behind his back and walked slowly forward, keeping his body straight.  This is a person whose appearance is very different from the legend. Although Fang Jie doesn't believe the rumors about the green-faced fang who is two feet tall, he still has the impression that Luo Yao is a man with a strong figure.

    Luo Yao is not very tall, about 1.75 meters, slightly shorter than Fang Jie.

    He has a well-proportioned figure. Although he is over sixty years old, he still looks tall and strong.  His steps are not big. If you observe carefully, you will find that he walks exactly the same distance with each step.  From this we can see that a person's temperament must be extremely strict with rules.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Chinese character face, short beard.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out out anger and self-power.

    The most disturbing thing is his temperament. Fang Jie is sure that only those who have been stained with countless blood will have such a cold and uncomfortable temperament.  Even if such a person does not speak or even stands motionless, ordinary people can be afraid of him.

    Fang Jie was slightly absent-minded. If Mu Xiaoyao hadn't touched him from behind, he wouldn't have reacted.

    "I'll give you an official explanation. I've met the general."

    Fang Jie bowed slightly and saluted.

    Luo Yao hummed and said, "You are an angel envoy, you don't have to salute me."

    Fang Jie said: "According to the rules, you do not need to salute the general, but at this time, you are paying homage to a general who has made countless military exploits in guarding the country's borders for more than 20 years. What you are paying homage to is the southwestern barrier of the Sui Dynasty.  The sincere respect of the official has nothing to do with the emperor¡¯s order, nor does it have anything to do with his status.¡±

    Luo Yao couldn't help but nodded, keeping his eyes on Fang Jie's face.

    "You are a great speaker."

    He said lightly.

    Fang Jie said seriously: "The best words are never lies, but the truth."

    Luo Yao took two steps forward and stopped. Suddenly he clasped his fists and leaned over the opponent to give a salute: "General Luo Yao of the left vanguard, I have met the imperial envoy!"

    Fang Jie hurriedly stepped forward to support him: "Why does the general need to be so polite?"

    Luo Yao straightened up and said slowly: "Rules are rules and cannot be abolished. If you waive the rules because you think I am respectable, others will do the same. If things go on like this, the rules will disappear. The imperial envoy represents His Majesty What you just said to me  I salute you as a private person. Now I salute you, not you but Your Majesty."

    Fang Jie couldn¡¯t help but secretly thought that this person was indeed a very strict person with strict rules.

    Just when Fang Jie was about to say something, Luo Yao suddenly saluted again: "This is an apology to the Imperial Envoy on behalf of the officials and the people of Pingshang Road. If there is an assassin, it is my problem and the problem of the local officials of Pingshang Road. Pingshang Road  Governor Luo Qiu has also arrived from Yongzhou, but he is a civil servant and is a little slow to leave. I hope the imperial envoy will not be surprised."

    Fang Jie was stunned, wondering why Luo Yao was so polite?

    Suddenly, Fang Jie felt a tight pain in his heart.

    Before parting ways with him while crossing Mangdang Mountain, what Huai Qiugong said to him suddenly came out of his heart.

    "Actually, it's not difficult to say. You just need to remember that people who want to make trouble must have a guilty conscience, no matter who they are. So you can see some clues from Luo Yao's attitude towards you. If he is cold and indifferent to you,  If you don't ask, he will still be the arrogant general. If he is enthusiastic and attentive to you you should be careful."

    Huai Qiugong's words were like a bolt of lightning that suddenly exploded in Fang Jie's mind, making his heart shrink violently.

    Fang Jie's heart instantly stirred up, but his face showed no change: "The general is too polite. When I talked to General Ye before, I also said that this place is remote and the people's hearts have not yet been fully naturalized. The robbery is  In the hinterland of the Central Plains, people's greed and evil cannot be suppressed by the imperial law. It is impossible to be truly clean and evil anywhere, otherwise the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Punishment will be useless before going to Beijing.  I don¡¯t remember how many ruthless bandits I have seen. Compared with Fan Gu in the northwest, the general¡¯s rule is much more peaceful.¡±

    Luo Yao shook his head: "WordsYou can say this, but you can't do it this way.  "

    He glanced at Ye Jinnan and asked, "Did you ask anything?"

    Ye Jinnan leaned over and said: "General, Anlai County Magistrate Sun Maocai and County Magistrate Li Heita have no connection with the assassins who assassinated the imperial envoy. Anlai County police officers, Gang Xian and other 126 people have no connection with the assassins either.  Family members and subordinates related to these people have also been interrogated separately overnight. A total of 1,002 people have nothing to do with the assassins. Soldiers blocked the official roads within a radius of 200 miles in Anlai County and captured two people last night.  They had no guide and were acting suspiciously. After a sudden interrogation by their subordinates, the two men confessed that they were both followers of the Ruyi Sect The assassination of the imperial envoy was planned by fugitives pursuing business. "

    "What's the purpose?"

    Luo Yao asked calmly.

    "The purpose is you, the general. The two men did not take action because they were afraid when they assassinated the imperial envoy. According to their confessions, they were fugitives chasing businessmen who conspired to kill the imperial envoy in an attempt to arouse the imperial court's questioning and force the general to leave Yongzhou"

    Ye Jinnan didn¡¯t seem to have any scruples about saying this in front of Fang Jie.

    After hearing this, Luo Yao just nodded slightly, remained silent for a while and said: "Such an idiot can actually incite a group of idiots People's hearts are inherently stupid. It seems that this statement is true."

    Fang Jie¡¯s temporary residence

    Ye Jinnan sent someone to place two chairs at the front of the living room to show respect for the other party.  Luo Yao sat down on the left, then pointed to the chair next to him and asked Fang Jie to sit down as well.  Fang Jie didn't refuse and said thank you after sitting down.

    Luo Yao waved his hand to signal his entourage to leave. The only people around him were Ye Jinnan and Yuan Fucheng, while only Mu Xiaoyao and Shen Qingshan were left around Fang Jie.

    From beginning to end, Luo Yao never glanced at either of them.

    On the other hand, Shen Qingshan glanced at Luo Yao from time to time, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

    "You are seventeen this year?"

    After being silent for a while, Luo Yao suddenly asked.

    Fang Jie nodded and said: "If nothing else happens, he should be seventeen years old. Xiaguan's life experience is a bit strange. He has been running around since he was a child. People around him don't know how old Xiaguan is."

    He looked at Mu Xiaoyao and said: "Sister Xiaoyao has held me since I was a child, so she designated the day when she picked me up as my birthday. When she and Sister Qingshan saw that I was abandoned, they took good care of me. Even I  The two of them decided on the name after discussion. They wanted me to be upright and upright, so they chose the surname Fang. Since my origin was unknown, they couldn't find it, so they named me Jie, also known as Jie.  this means."

    "oh?"

    Luo Yao sighed softly and said: "I didn't expect that your life experience would be so bizarre, but you have achieved success at this age. Your future is limitless. If your parents know about it, they will regret it."

    Fang Jie said that on purpose. His words were half true and half false.  He just wanted to test Luo Yao's reaction, but after he finished speaking, he realized that he still underestimated Luo Yao.  No change could be seen on this man's face, not even a twinkle in his eyes.  It seemed that what Fang Jie said had nothing to do with him.

    "maybe¡­¡­"

    Fang Jie smiled and said: "Fortunately, although it was more difficult, I still survived. Some people say that God has no dislike or love for people, so it will give everyone opportunities and setbacks. I didn't seize the opportunity.  People are destined to be inactive, and those who have not overcome setbacks will turn into withered bones. I am lucky, and my life will be stable after I arrive in Chang'an City and be appreciated by His Majesty. "

    Luo Yao snorted: "There is some truth in what he said If you think about it carefully, it is true that everyone will have the opportunity to make a fortune in their life, but some people are afraid that some are lazy and some are stupid, so they cannot seize it. Of course, your achievements today cannot be attributed to luck.  Even so, it¡¯s because you have a heart.¡±

    "Thank you, General."

    Fang Jie nodded slightly.

    Luo Yao shook his head: "It has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the Sui Dynasty. There has never been a person of your age who can inspect a place on behalf of the emperor. You are the second person from the Sui Dynasty to pass the nine examinations of the Yanwu Academy. You are  The first person from a poor family to be promoted to a noble rank by His Majesty before leaving the Yanwu Academy. You are still the youngest imperial envoy, even younger than Huai Lao, the former Minister of Rites, when he first went on tour I never believe in a person.  People's achievements are achieved entirely by luck, and you don't need to be too humble. "

    He seemed to be feeling a little emotional, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Luck can make people achieve temporary results, but it cannot lead to a life without worries. Since I was in the army, I have never relied on luck to fight a battle."

    Fang Jie cupped his fists and said, "The general's military power is majestic and invincible in this world."

    "This is a lie, no one can tell it"enemy.  "

    Luo Yao waved his hand, as if he didn't want to continue on this topic. He turned to look at Ye Jinnan and asked, "Where are the Anlai County magistrate and others detained?"

    "The county government prison. Other family members and relatives are detained in their homes."

    "Attempting to assassinate an imperial envoy is a capital crime that involves confiscating one's family and annihilating one's ancestors. If the official had not neglected his duties, it would have been avoidable, so it is also a capital crime. I have no control over other places, but of course I cannot tolerate anyone who breaks the law in Yongzhou, especially my people. This kind of thing  In other places, people may be punished by dismissal from office, but this is not the case in the Southwest. Mistakes must be severely punished, and not all mistakes can be given a chance to correct themselves. Only by clarifying the punishment can others remember it.  ¡±

    "Neglect of duty is the same crime as assassination. Since it is the same crime, the family members are accessories."

    Ye Jinnan cupped his fists and said, "I understand!"

    He responded, then turned around and strode out.

    Luo Yao stood up, looked at Fang Jie and asked calmly: "Master Xiao Fang, do you want to go and see the murder? It has been several years since Pingshangdao killed a thousand people at a time. The scene may be more bloody, but that's all.  Only then will the living people be awakened. If Master Xiaofang doesn¡¯t want to see thousands of people beheaded, just wait here.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s better not to go down to the official position.¡±

    Fang Jie shook his head and looked at Luo Yao who said calmly: "But it's not because I'm afraid of not being able to watch the killing. The scene of a thousand people being killed will indeed be bloody and shocking. Some people will never see it once in their lifetime But I never see it.  Before I came out of Chang'an, I had just seen the emperor order 36,000 heads to be chopped off."

    He looked at Luo Yao, smiled and said, "That scene would be even bigger."
