The next day, Lu Fang rushed to the inn where Su Liluo and the others stayed early in the morning.
They were about to leave, so it was appropriate to send them off. Even if it was just for Su Liluo's sake, it was appropriate to do so.
After sitting downstairs for a short time, Su Liluo and Lang Fanyun came downstairs, all carrying luggage.
I really have to leave.
Lu Fang didn't try to persuade them to stay, he just invited them to have breakfast and then sent them out.
Before parting, Su Liluo turned back to Lu Fang and said, "Mr. Lu, then we will meet again."
Lu Fang nodded and said: "See you later!"
Su Liluo suddenly smiled brightly, "With Grandmaster Tongxuan's teachings, you can kill a sixth-grade martial artist now. Maybe, when we meet again, even I will be far from your opponent."
Lu Fang smiled coquettishly, "With my qualifications, no matter how hard I work, my martial arts achievements in this life will be limited."
Of course, these words are just superficial polite words.
Not to mention that his current qualifications have been greatly improved compared to before. Even if not, with the hatred value protection system, the speed of promotion is far beyond that of ordinary martial arts masters.
Lang Fanyun and others believed it.
There was a slight smile on his face.
Lang Fanyun even spoke to comfort him: "Qualification is important, but martial arts practice is more important than hard work. Mr. Lu, if you persist, you may be able to achieve something."
But I was thinking in my heart, what can I do no matter how powerful the eighth grade is?
With Lu Fang's qualifications, he would never be able to become his competitor in this life. He is also not qualified to covet Junior Sister Su.
Lu Fang just chuckled.
In the future, I will surprise you someday.
Fifth grade, is it very powerful?
…
That morning, some government officials hung the heads of bandit leaders such as Lao Qiufeng and Xu Damabang on the cross streets of You County for public display.
At the same time, gongs and drums were beating loudly, announcing that the bandits in You County had been eliminated.
It seems absurd, but in this era it is not absurd.
Most of the people clapped their hands and cheered.
Not long after, there were firecrackers going off in Youxian County.
And Yu Bei also took his Chaling Army to prepare to leave You County.
Neither Lu Fang nor Lu Liang went to see them off, and seemed to be left out. This was obviously intentional.
After they left, Lu Fang went to Wanfu Inn to check out. In fact, he spent less than one hundred taels of silver.
However, people like Yu Bei spent a lot of money at Yanchun Tower. In less than ten days, Lu Fang actually spent more than two hundred taels.
This is definitely an astronomical figure.
In You County, you can own a huge store.
These guys are really rude.
However, the bandit suppression in You County ended so quickly. Lu Fang was in a good mood and didn't care about it.
After completing these finishing tasks, I returned to the county government office.
In the afternoon, I took Zhuer on horseback and rushed to Ningyuan County.
Chen Youxi originally wanted to follow, but was rejected by Lu Fang.
The main purpose of this trip is to go to Tanzhou, and Ningyuan is just a drop-in. I just want to see my property in Ningyuan.
If it weren't for the fear of getting lost, he wouldn't even want to take the bamboo with him.
…
Not yet.
Tanzhou Governor's Mansion.
A messenger has arrived.
When Jiang Shi saw Lu Liang's report of meritorious service, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Okay! Wow!"
He is the governor of Tanzhou and a member of Liang Hanmin. In the overall situation, he still considers the imperial court.
Lu Liang successfully suppressed bandits in You County, which was undoubtedly a good thing for both the Dayu court and Tanzhou.
Jiang Shi had to admit that he was a little optimistic about Lu Liang.
He can control floods and suppress bandits. Such officials are rare nowadays.
At this moment, he even had the idea of moving Lu Liang to his side.
But it is a pity that Lu Liang, Liang Siqi, and Pan Nanzhang are all involved. And being involved means trouble.
Lu Liang's future is not something he can say.
In the office, Jiang Shi was silent for a long time, but then muttered, "What a pity, what a pity..."
He still had to tell Pan Nanzhang about this. After all, the suppression of bandits was actually a matter under Pan Nanzhang's jurisdiction.
If there is no grudge between Pan Jiedushi and Lu Liang, just relying on this alone, Lu Liang can rise to prominence, right?
But how would Pan Nanzhang treat Lu Liang?
This is a human society...
Afterwards, Jiang Shi wrote two letters in the office,
About two quarters of an hour later, someone called out: "Here comes someone!"
A government official came into the room and said, "Sir!"
Jiang Shi handed the two letters to the little official and said, "Send these two letters to His Royal Highness the Princess and the Jiedushi respectively."
All he could do was tell Pan Nanzhang and Liang Siqi the facts about Luliang's bandit suppression. As for how the two would wrestle, he couldn't control it.
Lu Liang did make him admire him a little, but it was not enough for him to get involved in the struggle between Pan Nanzhang and Liang Siqi.
However, he still didn't mind giving Lu Liang some help when it came to matters involving Lu Deye and others.
After a while, Jiang Shi shouted to the outside again: "Call Fa Cao Gu to join the army."
"yes."
Someone outside agreed.
Then Gu Shenjun, the Fa Cao among the six Cao Cao of Tanzhou Prefecture, namely Gong, Cang, Hu, Fa, Shi, and Bing, rushed over.
He and Liu Mao are of the same grade.
Fa Cao, who was in charge of the prison law in Tanzhou, supervised thieves and knew about the confiscation of dirty bribes.
"Lord Governor."
After entering the house, Gu Canjun saluted Jiang.
Jiang Shi nodded and asked, "How's the interrogation of those wealthy gentry in You County going?"
Gu Canjun seemed ashamed and said: "Those people only say that they are serious businessmen and refuse to admit that they are related to bandits."
"hehe."
Jiang Shi chuckled, "Is there anyone who can speak for them?"
Gu Canjun shook his head and said: "That's not true. They just come from a small place like You County, and there should be no care in Tanzhou City."
"Then you go back and tell them. If they are confessed now, I can still deal with them lightly. Now that the bandits in You County have been eliminated, if I wait for Magistrate Lu to find out the evidence and send it to Tanzhou, then I will
But it must be dealt with strictly."
Jiang Shi thought for a while and said.
Gu Shenjun was stunned for a moment, then handed over his hand again, "Then what do you plan to do with them?"
"Let's ransack the house!"
Jiang Shi said: "If they give their own account, they will only confiscate cash and property from their homes, and no other punishment will be imposed on them."
He knew that this was what Lu Liang wanted.
With the influence of Lu Deye and others in You County, if they were sent out or exiled, it would probably cause a huge blow to You County's economy.
But it doesn't happen when you search your home, especially this minimal kind of search.
Lu Deye's industry is still there, and the business order in You County will not be chaotic.
And it is not easy for Lu Deye and others to recover their strength after copying endless cash and land.
This is like cutting a piece of flesh out of their bodies.
Based on what they have done in You County over the years, the amount of cash and land they have accumulated will not be a small amount.
These can greatly fill the emptiness of Youxian County Government.
Jiang Shi had no intention of transferring the proceeds from the confiscated houses to the Tanzhou government office, but was already secretly looking after Lu Liang.
