Chapter 50 Framed
At Liu Feng's instructions, several singular geniuses sat around Li Cheng and frequently persuaded him to drink. The latter was always there, not to mention how excited he was. He soon showed his ugly appearance, his dirty hands raging on the geniuses, and his slutty smiled.
As the saying goes, birds of birds of birds flock together. Li Cheng's ugly appearance in public was exposed in Liu Feng's eyes, not only did the latter not feel disgusting and ugly, but also kept adding fuel to the fire.
After three rounds of wine and the dishes were almost finished, Li Cheng held a genius in one hand. Amid the giggling of the genius, he said drunk: "Monday... the county head master, the lower official... the lower official also forgot something. Lu Chen also mentioned that the lower official asked the lower official to ask the county head master to ask for some military supplies and military supplies."
"Hmph! This Lu Chen is really greedy! I just gave him a batch of supplies a few days ago. In just a few days, I came to ask for it again. How could I give it to him? Besides, I still need some bullshit supplies when I die until the beginning of my life!" Liu Feng said angrily. Although he was very angry, his movements were not vague at all, making the woman in his arms blush.
"Hey?" Zhang Tao waved his hand and said, "Sir, since things have come to this point, it's better to stabilize Lu Chen first. Anyway, Lord Li will have the final say in Biancheng County by then. This batch of supplies will sooner or later fall into Lord Li's hands. We are all our own family, right?"
Liu Feng looked at Zhang Tao with some displeasure, but Zhang Tao had already said this, so he couldn't say anything else, so he had to smile dryly and said, "Yes, that's right, then just do as Mr. Zhang wants to do it."
Oh! When Li Cheng heard this, he immediately became energetic. He was sobered up halfway through the wine. The supplies assigned by the county to the border town were not small in size. If all of them fell into his hands, they would have to be hundreds of thousands of taels of white silver.
He said to Liu Feng excitedly: "Thank you, the head of the county! Thank you, Mr. Zhang!" He heard what he meant, as if he was already doing the Chengxian County Guard here.
"Hey? Didn't Mr. Zhang already say that we are all our own family members. Since that's the case, Lord Li doesn't have to be polite to me. If you have a meal from me in the future, Lord Li will definitely be indispensable!" Liu Feng said politely, but his heart seemed to be bleeding.
Everyone knows that corrupt officials are stingy, especially corrupt officials. The more violent the greed, the more reluctant they are to cut a little bit of meat from themselves.
As his dog-headed military advisor, Zhang Tao could not understand Liu Feng's character. Seeing this, he smiled and continued, "There is another thing I want to report to the adults."
"Oh? What else is there?" Liu Feng asked absent-mindedly. Zhang Tao asked him to take out the supplies just now, which made him feel a little surprised that Zhang Tao was talking too much.
"Sir, don't forget, Lu Chen just defeated the barbarians in the border town." Zhang Tao said calmly: "Sir, please write to the court. In the memorial, you can go to Wuguan to reward the army before the war, and inspire the troops to resist the enemy, so... "
The next day, Liu Feng personally wrote a memorial to the court of Shufeng.
In the memorial, he shamelessly claimed that he was the head of the county, but for the safety of the people in the border town and to defend the country's territory, he went to Wuguan in person. In order to defeat the barbarian soldiers in one fell swoop, he transported the materials to the border town in batches. Finally, he told Fengguo court that the war consumed a lot. If the barbarian soldiers invaded again next time, it might be difficult for the county to support it, so he asked the court to allocate materials to support it.
He almost praised himself for his own praise for his existence in the sky and no underground. He took all the contributions of the border troops on himself, and did not even mention Lu Chen's name.
After receiving this memorial, King Feng responded quickly. King Feng Chen Guang also praised Liu Feng in the letter, saying that he was a rare loyal minister, and that all his requests were approved.
Pingyang County is a border county, far from Fengguo Capital, but fortunately there was a pigeon exchange between the county government and the royal court, so Liu Feng received a reply from the court within three days.
When Liu Feng saw this letter, he was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth. He praised Zhang Tao as his chief think tank!
Two more days later, Li Cheng returned to the border town with a large amount of supplies.
As soon as he came back, he went straight to the county government to find Lu Chen to report his life, but he was stunned. The manager of the county government told him that Lu Chen had just left not long ago and went to Wuguan to inspect the military situation.
Originally, Li Cheng wanted to use this batch of supplies to stabilize Lu Chen first and then act at the camera in the future. But Lu Chen is not in the city at this moment. Isn’t this a good opportunity given by God!
He almost jumped up so high with excitement, as if he was afraid that Lu Chen would come back suddenly. After he hurriedly brought the supplies into the treasury, he called Bo to the county government and asked him to follow him to recruit soldiers at the city gate, and recorded all the recruited soldiers in the book.
When the Lord Bo heard this, he was startled and asked subconsciously: "Mr. Li... Lord Li, this... the official has not received the order from Lord. Besides, he will recruit soldiers without permission, but it is a huge crime, and it is not something you and I can afford."
Li Cheng returned calmly: "Hey? I have been to the county town these few days ago, and I am entrusted by the Lord to ask for the head of the county to expand the army. I believe you know this, right?"
Seeing that the Lord nodded, he continued: "Yesterday, the king's handwriting had arrived at the county government through Fei Ge's letter and agreed to the expansion of the border city."
"Can……"
"It's nothing. Since the county magistrate has handed over the military expansion matter to my official, I naturally dare not slacken. The military expansion matter is urgent. The barbarians may come again one day. If the recruitment of new recruits one day, they can practice one day earlier. This is also the intention of the county magistrate. Otherwise, why should I pass the letter through the county magistrate? Isn't it because of the time being? Now, since the king has agreed, you and I should also contribute to the county magistrate! If everything needs to be done by the adults, what's the use of me waiting for the officials to be the subordinates? " Without waiting for the Lord Bo to say anything, Li Cheng had already said first.
When he said this, Lord Bo was not sure of his decision for a moment. Seeing this, Li Cheng knew that Lord Bo had probably believed what he said, but he was a little hesitant. Then, he took up the posture of Shangguan and ordered Lord Bo to go to recruit soldiers with him.
In the county government, if the county guard is not there, it is natural that the county magistrate has the final say. At this time, Li Cheng intends to suppress the situation. Although the master Bo has doubts, he dared not refuse to obey. In the end, he had to follow him to the city gate to recruit soldiers.
On the way to the city gate, Li Cheng specially summoned the county army commander who was escorting supplies and asked him to return to Pingzhou quickly. He notified the county leader Liu Feng, saying that the major event had been completed, and asked the county leader to quickly send someone to capture the rebel Lu Chen. (To be continued)
