Chapter 256 Raising troops to investigate crimes

The spring breeze brings joy, the forsythia has bloomed, and the spring thunder and gongs on the earth are beating in February.

On this day, under the intentional guidance of Lu Desheng, the entire Houcheng fell into a carnival, with laughter and joy everywhere.

Shi Tao was completely in a hurry. After the road was opened, he slowly headed towards Houcheng and even sent someone to the Liaodong County Magistrate's Office to invite Zheng Xun to Houcheng.

By the time he was about to arrive in Houcheng, Zheng Xun was already waiting there.

The two of them entered Houcheng obediently with the carriage, and there were twenty or thirty followers with a solemn look behind them.

Their group is incompatible with the current atmosphere of Houcheng.

"Hurry up, go and notify the county magistrate, the governor, Lord Shi and the county magistrate Zheng have arrived." The young general of the city gate ordered the city gate guards.

"Yes!" The city gate guard Sa Yazi ran towards the county government.

The conversation between the two was quite loud. Two or three ordinary people heard it. They were inexplicably worried and followed them spontaneously, praying in their hearts that Lord Lu would not have any trouble.

These ordinary people followed the convoy of the governor. If they knew each other, they would inevitably ask. The few people did not hide it and talked about their worries and plans.

"Let's go and have a look together."

When Lu Desheng came, through negotiations with the Xianbei, he won three years of peace for Liaodong County and Houcheng, and suddenly gained the support of many people.

For a time, more and more people were keeping up, and the team grew stronger and stronger.

Jiang Changyun and others naturally have to report this situation.

Shi Tao didn't say anything, but Zheng Xun said with a slight tone, "I didn't expect that Lu Desheng would be very popular with the people as soon as he arrived."

When the two arrived at Houcheng County Government, they saw Lu Desheng leading Chen Ping, Liu Heshan and other officials waiting for them, and Le Guicai stood beside them.

Xuan Tao: Very good, they are all in line. These people are pretty sensible.

"The lower-ranking official welcomes the governor and the county magistrate!"

Shi Tao got off the carriage and walked straight to the county government office, "Everyone comes in!"

Zheng Xun glanced at them and hurriedly followed.

Lu Desheng gave in to Le Guicai, and Le Guicai nodded and went in first.

Lu Desheng followed closely behind without hesitation.

Chen Ping and Liu Heshan looked at each other and saw the same message in each other's eyes. Sure enough, those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come.

As soon as Shi Tao sat down, he began to ask for guilt, "Lu Desheng, do you know the crime?"

Lu Desheng said strangely, "Sir, what are the crimes of the lower officials?"

"You took the lead in forming a negotiation team to negotiate with the Xianbei royal court without the consent of Zheng Xun, the county magistrate of Liaodong County, and without the consent of me, the governor of Pingzhou, it is considered to be out of power-"

Le Guicai stepped forward and pleaded for Lu Desheng, "Mr. Governor, although Lord Lu has some inappropriate points in this negotiation, please remember the important results of this negotiation..."

"Wait--" Lu Desheng interrupted him directly.

Originally, Lu Desheng wanted to hear Shi Tao finish speaking and see what he could say, but he didn't expect that Le Gui was just a general who answered so quickly!

Le Gui wanted to plead for him, but he could not admit his guilt.

"Mr. Governor, before the Xiaguan decided to negotiate, he sent someone to send letters to the Mr. Governor and the county magistrate respectively, and explained the matter in the letter and invited two adults to come to Houcheng to preside over the negotiations. Unfortunately, until both sides of the country

The day when the negotiations officially began, neither of you adults came. The officials had no choice but to bite the bullet."

So, in general, it is your dereliction of duty, not my overreach of authority.

Everyone understood what Lu Desheng meant.

Le Guicai, Chen Ping, Liu Heshan and others looked at Lu Desheng in surprise. When did he send someone to deliver the letter?

Guo Chunsheng lowered his head, looked at his eyes, nose and heart, and submitted a letter to the new county magistrate. He was serious. The person sent by the county magistrate? He helped arrange the letter.

As soon as the new county magistrate Lu Desheng arrived, he knew that he was a bold person, which was different from Zheng Qiao, the county magistrate who had always wanted to escape from Houcheng...

Shi Tao and Zheng Xun turned black.

Shi Tao: "You said you asked someone to send me a letter, but where is the person? This governor didn't see me."

Zheng Xun hurriedly said, "I haven't seen anyone either."

Lu Desheng: "It's impossible. I obviously sent two troops from each other."

At this moment, a yamen runner came to report the matter, "Sir, someone outside asked for a visit and said there was something important to report to you."

Lu Desheng pretended to scold, "What did you see? Didn't you see me busy?"

The yamen runner was anxious, "Sir, that person said he was going to deliver a letter to the governor!"

Lu Desheng was ‘shocked’, “What? Come in quickly.”

Shi Tao sneered, he wanted to see what tricks he played!

Not long after, the man was carried in by a few villagers. The man was wrapped around the left leg with a circle of straps.

When Lu Desheng saw someone, he stood up in shock and shouted exaggeratedly, "Li Rong, why did you make this look?"

Li Rong looked 'condescendant', "Sir, Li Rong has been entrusted."

"Don't be busy apologizing first, let's talk about what you did?" Lu Desheng pointed to his leg.

"I went to Liaoxi County to deliver a letter to the governor. When I passed by Wang, I encountered a landslide and was then smashed under the sand and stones. I was stunned. When I woke up, I found that my leg was broken."

"Fortunately, my subordinates were lucky and were knocked unconscious on the side. If they were in the middle, my subordinates would probably have disappeared on the spot. It was also lucky that I was rescued by my fellow villagers in the village."

Several villagers who sent him in nodded when they heard this, proving that what he said was true.

Lu Desheng looked at Shi Tao with embarrassment, "Sir, do you think about this?"

When someone encountered an accident, he was pressed there and fell into a coma, his legs broke, and he was unable to deliver the letter in the end. It was really no wonder that he was not allowed to blame.

Shi Tao slapped the table, "Lu Desheng, do you think you can deceive this governor by finding someone to act?"

"Sir, how could you be so wronged by the officials?" Lu Desheng looked humiliated.

Shi Tao was still about to get angry, but his sleeve was pulled by his subordinates, "Mr. Governor—"

Shi Tao looked at Jiang Changyun badly.

Jiang Changyun whispered, "Sir, we have seen this person. Didn't we save someone when we organized the villagers to clear the official road?"

When Shi Tao heard this, he suddenly looked at the man. After he reminded him, Shi Tao also remembered it. At this time, he happened to see several villagers who were reluctant to speak but stopped.

Another subordinate also said, "Yes, sir, I recognize all the villagers who brought him in."

"Is this person the one you saved before?"

Several villagers nodded and said, "Yes, yes, sir, this person is indeed the one we saved before. You guys were there at that time."

"If this happens, you can't blame County Magistrate Lu." Chen Ping and Liu Heshan spoke in a low voice, and they were quite decent.

The two of them thought to themselves, Lord Lu, we can only help you here.

Lu Desheng glanced at the two of them with gratitude, and he was more attentive.

He withdrew his eyes and then said, "Sir, please let someone carry Li Rong down first? Find a doctor to treat his legs."

Shi Tao was silent for a while, then waved his hand and approved what he asked for.

After the villagers carried Li Rong down, Lu Desheng looked at Zheng Xun, "We have also sent someone to send a letter of help from the county magistrate."

What? Zheng Xun is smart, and there is still something about him in it? "I haven't received the letter."

"No?" Lu Desheng said exaggeratedly, "Will the person who sent you a letter have something unexpected, right?"

"What's going on in Liaodong County? Are you in conflict with me?" Lu Desheng murmured.

"Go and check!" Shi Tao ordered, "Look at where Lord Lu sent a letter to the county magistrate Zheng? You have to see people alive and die!
