The old man then said again: "What about you, I haven't seen you for so many years, how are you doing?"
Lao Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "What else can I do? It's better to die than live."
"hehe."
The old man chuckled, "If someone else said this, I would believe it, but if you say this, I don't believe it. It's just a distasteful thing to say. Now the Great Chongqing court is becoming more and more stable, and the righteous people everywhere are just struggling to support it.
, does it still make sense for you to persist like this?"
"What's the difference between what I'm doing now and what you're insisting on now?"
Lao Xiao only said meaningfully.
The room suddenly fell into silence.
…
The entrance of Danxia Sword Sect.
Waves of waves appeared along with the disciple.
Seeing Lu Fang, he nodded, "Master Lu."
His attitude wasn't exactly warm, but it couldn't be said to be cold either.
"Senior Brother Lang."
Lu Fang always upholds the good character of treating others with a smile, and is much more enthusiastic than Lang Fanyun.
As he spoke, he took the plaque from the government servant behind him and handed it to Lang Fanyun, "This is the plaque made for you by the governor of Tanzhou on behalf of the government. Thank you for helping us, the people of You County, eliminate banditry."
Lang Fanyun glanced at the disciple next to him,
The disciple hurriedly took the plaque from Lu Fang's hand.
Lang Fanyun then said: "It's just my duty."
This guy is in the Danxia Sword Sect, and his territory seems to be more assertive than outside.
But Lu Fang knew this guy's character, so he wouldn't be angry.
At a young age, he is the chief disciple of the Danxia Sword Sect. Arrogance is a normal thing. As the saying goes, a mediocre person is a person who does not attract jealousy, but true geniuses are often arrogant. Even if they are humble and polite on the surface, they must be deep in their hearts.
Arrogant.
Seeing that Lang Fanyun had no intention of inviting people like himself in, Lu Fang said, "Then let's leave first."
"You don't plan to see Junior Sister Su?"
His words actually surprised Lang Fanyun.
If you don't invite me in, what will happen to me?
Lu Fang slandered and said: "Please ask Senior Brother Lang to convey the matter about the plaque. I won't go in and disturb you."
"good."
Lang Fanyun nodded gently.
Lu Fang's knowledge made him much gentler.
In fact, as long as Lu Fang didn't get close to Su Liluo, he still thought Lu Fang was quite good.
Of course, he is far from qualified to be at the same height as Lang Fanyun.
How about the county magistrate’s brother?
In front of the behemoth of the Danxia Sword Sect, even the governor Jiang Shi had to be polite.
So what if you can kill a sixth-grade martial artist?
After all, his true cultivation level is only that of an eighth-grade martial artist, so he cannot be put on the stage.
In other words, there was a teaching from Master Tongxuan that was worthy of his attention.
Lu Fang led the people and walked straight down the mountain.
Not far away, a government official couldn't help but complain in a low voice, "These people from the Danxia Sword Sect are too arrogant. We came all the way to deliver the plaque, but they didn't even invite us in for a cup of tea."
Lu Fang just smiled, "But compared with them helping us suppress bandits, this matter of sending plaques is not worth mentioning."
It's not that I agree with Lang Fanyun's arrogant attitude, I just feel that there is really no need to be angry about this matter.
Only those with a broad mind can be worry-free.
At the foot of the mountain, Lao Xiao hadn't come back yet, so Lu Fang, Han Feihong and others were waiting at the incense shop.
The shop owner was very enthusiastic. Although Lu Fang and the others were not doing business, he still made them each a cup of tea.
In just two cups of tea, Lao Xiao was down.
Everyone rode back to You County.
On the way, Lao Xiao didn't say who he went to see. Lu Fang didn't bother to ask.
It is not a strange thing to see crouching tigers and hidden dragons on this huge Zhurong Peak.
…
night.
Inside the imperial study room of the Imperial Palace in Shangjing City.
Emperor Liang Hanmin of Dayu was burning the midnight oil again to review the memorials. There were piles of memorials on the copywriting in front of him.
Being an emperor is never easy, especially for an emperor who has a strong desire for control and likes to do things personally.
Even during the period when there are the fewest memorials, there are always hundreds of memorials every day. Sometimes, there are even hundreds of memorials.
There are hundreds of words at least, thousands of words at most, and even tens of thousands of words.
After reading most of the memorials, Liang Hanmin wrote "read" and then put them next to them.
Others include just a few comments and then put them in another pile.
Only those who are temporarily undecided will be placed on the left hand position. Read again later.
At this time, the old eunuch wouldn't make even the slightest sound when he was nearby.
I don't know when it was, but I finally finished reading the memorials in the copywriting. Liang Hanmin stretched himself, and then rubbed his temples.
After a while, he picked up the memorial on his left hand again and suddenly said to the old eunuch: "Pan Nanzhang, the governor of Jingnan County, Jiang Shi, the governor of Tanzhou, as well as the Dageng people, and people from Wu Gou's branch in Jingnan County have all presented it.
The memorial was about the You County magistrate Lu Liang's suppression of bandits in You County. The man named Lu Fang and the disciples of the Danxia Sword Sect swept through the bandits in You County. Only the red lady was left and fled You County in a hurry.
Go to Hengzhou. What do you think about this matter?"
The old eunuch bowed slightly and said, "The emperor asked, how to reward Lu Liang? Or what does this servant think of Lu Fang?"
"Everyone wants to hear it."
Liang Hanmin curled his lips and said: "Jiang Shi asked for credit on Lu Liang's behalf, but Pan Nanzhang only revealed the fact that he suppressed bandits. The attitudes of the two are completely different..."
The old eunuch was silent when he heard this.
After a while, he said: "In my opinion, Luliang has done great work in controlling floods and suppressing bandits, so he should be rewarded. As for Lu Fang, he has been quiet in the past few years, but since he got in touch with Princess Yongle, he has shown his ability.
His ability was so great that he was accepted as a student by Yu Shangshu, and even went to Datian Ting several times. This can only show that he was just deliberately hiding his clumsiness before, and beside the two brothers... there is a master master."
"did you mean……"
Liang Hanmin frowned slightly, "Are they two remnants of the previous dynasty?"
The old eunuch shook his head quickly, "I dare not make any arbitrary decisions."
Liang Hanmin stopped looking at him, lowered his head and said to himself, "Even the watchman and Wu Gou couldn't find out anything. These two brothers both know their backgrounds... It should be impossible for them to be remnants of the previous dynasty..."
Then he raised his head again and looked at the old eunuch with deep eyes, "What do you mean, do you want me to test them first?"
The old eunuch did not answer directly, only said: "My servant has found out that there are two groups of bandits in Jingnan County that are related to the remnants of the previous dynasty."
Liang Hanmin nodded slightly.
Then he closed his eyes and thought for a long time, stopped saying anything to the old eunuch, and made annotations on the memorials of Pan Nanzhang and Jiang Shi respectively.
The only annotation on Pan Nanzhang's memorial was the word "read".
On Jiang Shi's memorial, the annotation was "I know that Lu Liang is a capable minister and should be reused as appropriate."
Later, he talked to the old eunuch about other memorials.
