Yongzhou, Jingzhao County, north of Chang'an City, and the south bank of the Wei River.

Tens of thousands of troops had just crossed the river and gathered their formation again and headed towards Chang'an City.

Among the army, Xia Pei, dressed in red and yellow uniforms, rode a horse at the forefront of the queue. Behind him were the twelve generals who were the best at fighting in the Dayuan Dynasty, half of which were the Xia clan relatives.

But Xia Pei was tall and well-proportioned, with his sword eyebrows flying into his temples, and his heroic spirit, his eyes were bright and bright, and his handsome face showed a bit of fatigue.

He is not over thirty years old, but among these tiger and wolf troops, he is a special existence. His temperament is like a king's posture, and his expression is as calm as water, giving people a feeling of extreme safety.

This doesn't look like an emperor with a strong aura, but he has the appearance of a wise monarch.

"General Yue..."

He suddenly spoke and called out to a general behind him.

This person is Jun Yueli, the general of the East.

If Lu Zhaoyi were here, she would definitely be able to recognize that when she first discussed the matter in the court, the general had clearly supported one of hers after he retired from the court.

At this moment, when he heard Xia Pei's shouting, he immediately rode his horse to Xia Pei and bowed, "Your Majesty, what's the point of giving me?"

Xia Pei paused and thought, "You said, did she receive the gift I sent to Luo?"

"Hahaha..." Yue Li laughed out loud when he heard this. He looked at Xia Pei with a look of relief when the elders looked at the younger generation.

"Your Majesty, how do you know if Miss Lu has received it? Seeing Shangluo is not far away, Your Majesty might as well go and ask in person?"

"You..." Xia Pei's face suddenly turned slightly red, almost choked by his words. After adjusting, he continued, "I plan to let you go. It just so happened that General Yue is from Shangluo, and he just happened to have the chance to go home and have a look..."

Yue Li's old face pulled, and then he smiled even more happily, "Your Majesty's excuse is really different, right? Everyone knows that my family has moved to Luojing, where are there relatives in Shangluo?"

After hearing this, Xia Pei yelled. And Yue Li also saw his thoughts, and immediately patted the emperor on the shoulder and said bluntly, "Since Your Majesty misses Madam Lu so much, I'd like to issue an edict to let her meet Your Majesty. Anyway, the remnants of the Wang family in Guanzhong and Wei family no longer pose a threat, and there will be no danger."

"Besides, Your Majesty, the endgame in Guanzhong needs to be cooked by the think tank of Lady Lu, right?"

His words were reasonable and proof, and it was impossible to refute. Xia Pei's eyes suddenly lit up. He turned around and shouted at the army, "Where is Qiu Quzi? Come here..."

Sure enough, among the crowd, Qiu Quzi was holding a lot of objects and jumping and raising his hand to respond.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am here."

While talking, he trotted over with something in his arms.

"I will enter the city later. I will draw an order for me and send it to Shangluo. As for the content, please polish it and don't let Lu Qiniang see something."

As soon as these words were said, Qiu Quzi's eyes kept turning, and after only a moment of thought, he understood it immediately.

"I understand. Your Majesty, I will write that the Guanzhong gentry no longer poses a threat to the court, but afterwards, how to govern the eight counties in Yongzhou in the future, Your Majesty needs Lu Qiniang to propose and order her to return to Chang'an quickly!"

"Okay! Yes!" Xia Pei nodded with satisfaction, and the smile on his face could not be hidden.

At the same time, Shangluo County.

In this quiet and peaceful county, Lu Zhaoyi's return became noisy again.

Inside the county government, Wei Meng sat in the duty room with his legs on the table, looking extremely lazy.

"This Shangluo County is so quiet. There is not even a thief. It's really boring."

Wei Meng stretched out and kept complaining.

"Isn't that good? If the whole world is like Shangluo, the years are peaceful and the people are cultivating and resting, wouldn't it be my lifelong wish?"

The voice came from outside the door and fell into Wei Meng's ears. It was so beautiful and gentle. In a nutshell, he was a little stunned.

Until I saw clearly the person in front of me, my face changed drastically and I wished I could stand up from the table immediately.

"Lu, Madam Lu, you, don't give me any instructions when you come back, so that I can wait to greet you..."

Obviously, this was so inconvenient that Qu Zhiyun covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

She looked at Wei Meng with a smile, with a bit of joke in her eyes: "I have been lazy these days, are you?"

"Where, how can it be? Madam Lu, when you come back, haven't you seen the brothers patrolling the street?"

Lu Zhaoyi nodded with a smile, "Yeah, I saw it."

After the words finished, Wei Meng breathed a sigh of relief, but her next round of words once again raised her throat.

"I saw an old woman with legs and feet were inconvenient and wanted to go to the market, but your man helped her and forced her to send her home."

"…"

"Also, the old man on East Street is obviously going to carry water home, but your people think that the old man is going to find a short-sighted view. He dragged him to the shore despite his request, and even threw away his water-carrying bucket."

"I can't continue to talk about the following. This is how you manage the order in the city?"

When Wei Meng heard this, his forehead was covered in cold sweat, lowering his head and feeling ashamed.

However, Lu Zhaoyi didn't blame him. After a while, he gave him some time to think, he chuckled, "Being an official is not like fighting. An official should be polite to the people, understand what the people are anxious about, and be clear about right and wrong, and uphold justice. If you are looking for trouble like this, don't act like this again in the future."

Having said that, Wei Meng suddenly figured it out and understood that she was mentioning herself. He immediately knelt down at her, "Miss Lu is kind-hearted, which is rare. It is Wei's honor to be able to do things for Mrs. Lu..."

"Okay. The flattery words are no more than saying. You should take care of your subordinates first."

Wei Mengyingnuo hurriedly retreated with a smile.

At this time, she told Ying Xue to go and take Wei Ci and Wang Rong, who had been escorted by Xia Pei a few days ago, from the prison, and she would have to make a good trial.

Just after Yingxue left, Qu Zhiyun curled her lips and said frankly, "Do you really think you are such a small county magistrate? I can guarantee that in a few days, Your Majesty will issue an edict to transfer you back."

"I know too. The situation in Guanzhong is settled now. According to Your Majesty's temperament, I will definitely transfer me to him." Lu Zhaoyi smiled and looked outside unconsciously.

Here, there are traces left by her father, and the place can be so peaceful thanks to her father's governance back then. The current county magistrate is also his successor, and has continued the original governance method, which allows the people here to live so peacefully.

At this moment, Lu Zhaoyi no longer wanted to leave here so soon. She also wanted to see more of the customs and culture here, and also wanted to feel the rare peace.

However, she knew very well that the responsibilities she had to bear were involuntarily, and she would definitely not stay there forever.

Thinking of this, she sighed softly, "Maybe the edict of Your Majesty is to come to Luo. In the past few days, we will finish what we are going to do."

After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

In the county government, they were still talking and laughing. Inadvertently, Yingxue led the Yinggu to escort two people wearing prison uniforms and tied up in.

"Qianniang, the man has already brought it."

These two people are Wei Ci and Wang Rong, and are closely related to Lu Yong's death.

Because these two people are the real descendants of the Wei family and Wang family, they also have high control over the affairs of Guanzhong.

Not to mention, the planners behind these two families must have contact.

"Let's go. Let's go to the lobby of the county government and have a good trial... Let the county magistrate be promoted to the hall!" Lu Zhaoyi said in a deep voice.

"Abide by the order!"

Yingxue nodded, and then she took someone to escort Wei Ci and Wang Rong to the lobby.

When they arrived at the lobby, although the county magistrate sat in the hall, he basically listened to Lu Zhaoyi standing in the hall, and more so, as an audience.

The county yamen gate was closed, and the runners stood on both sides of the lobby, each holding their own swords on guard.

Lu Zhaoyi first saluted the county magistrate, turned her head and looked at the two kneeling on the hall with cold eyes.

"Who is in the hall? Let's sign up."

At this moment, Wei Ci and Wang Rong were already pale, and they all looked up, staring at her with vicious eyes.

When he was in Gaoling City, after the two of them were captured, Xia Pei planned to kill them on the spot.

At the request of Ying Ling, when he knew that Lu Zhaoyi needed these two people, he issued an edict to turn them into common people, take their homes and become slaves.

Along the way, Wei and Wang were escorted and lived a life worse than pigs and dogs.

Since their birth, they have been rich and well-behaved. Due to the protection of their family, they were once glorious, but they never had such a situation.

Now, after being taken to the county government, they only feel that their destiny has been frozen and there is no chance of change.

Seeing that the two of them had not spoken for a long time, Lu Zhaoyi frowned and looked cold, "It's okay if you don't speak. Wei Ci, Wang Rong, I asked you, four years ago, Lu Yong, the prefect of Shangluo County, died at the hands of you and the two of you?"

When the two of them heard this, they looked at her side, and then looked at her like crazy.

Among them, Wang Rong snorted coldly, and a thick sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

"So what, so what, no? Even if it is, he deserves to die. It is an obstacle to my Wang family planning major events, and he must die. Hahahaha..."

He smiled extremely gloomy and terrifyingly, his eyes were full of resentment, as if he wanted to cut Lu Zhaoyi into pieces.

She had long guessed that these two people were not good people, and as expected, they were really hard to change.

She walked to the hall, signaled to the county magistrate, and picked up the order paper and threw it on the ground...z.br

"Come, execution!"

Immediately, the yamen runners dragged the two of them out and prepared to perform the punishment of sticks.

While they were dragged, they were still rumoring and were not afraid at all, "This world is ours. Xia Pei is just a thief who steals the country. Xia Pei will not die well..."

As soon as these words were said, the county magistrate was shocked and shouted at the yamen runner in a panic, "Bastard! How dare you curse the emperor and kill me with a stick..."

"etc!"

As soon as Lu Zhaoyi spoke, the county magistrate was slightly stunned and changed his face quickly to look flattering.

"Miss Lu, such a thief dares to curse the emperor, this..."

But she looked cold and replied, "Mr. Chang County, I am interrogating the prisoners. Are you trying to kill the prisoners like this? Do you want to shelter the people behind them?"

"No, no, no, I don't have this intention..." The county magistrate panicked and ordered the yamen runners outside to not kill anyone.

After the execution, the two of them were dragged back with blood stains on their bodies, dying, and no longer as arrogant as before.

"Wei Ci." Lu Zhaoyi looked at the other person.

She found that this person was not as hard as Wang Rong, and he was a little weaker, so he should be easy to deal with.

"I ask you, who instructed you four years ago to kill Lu Yong to silence you?"
