When Lu Liang came back from the Yamen, Fu'er also came over and called Lu Fang, "Master, it's time to eat."
Lu Fang went to the dining room.
As soon as he sat across from Lu Liang, he said: "I met an assassin in Zuihua Tower today."
Lu Liang's face was filled with shock, "Assassin? The one who killed you?"
"He must have killed me."
Lu Fang said: "That guy was drinking in the corner, and when he went to the counter to pay, he suddenly drew a knife at me. I didn't even know him, let alone provoke him. If it wasn't for me, or if he was mad at me,
It’s almost crazy.”
Lu Liang frowned and remained silent.
After a while, he asked Lu Fang, "Who do you think was the instigator?"
Lu Fang raised his eyes and looked at him, "In Ningyuan County, the only ones who want my life are those two bastards from the He family!"
He doesn't think about other people at all.
Because until now, only He Chengcai and He Zhengci have repeatedly contributed hatred points to him.
Those hatred points now add up to nearly 4,000 points, which can definitely be regarded as a blood feud.
Lu Liang nodded and said softly: "It seems that the dog is jumping over the wall in a hurry..."
Lu Fang was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Lu Liang said: "He Zhengci is already forty-nine this year. Well, with his rank as county magistrate, if he cannot take my place before he is fifty, he will have to retire next year. And if he can be promoted to county magistrate,
If you order, you can postpone your retirement for another five years. He is eager to take your life, and he clearly does not want to see a marriage between us and the Wang family, in which case he will lose all hope."
At fifty years old, he is considered an old man in this era. He Zhengci is obviously a man of old age.
"Son of a bitch!"
Even though Lu Fang knew that this matter must be related to He Zhengci, he couldn't help but cursed, "Just for his official position, he actually wants to take my life!"
It is inevitable that I feel a little solemn in my heart.
Before, with the mentality of a time traveler, he actually didn't take He Zhengci too seriously. Otherwise, he wouldn't have just gotten He Chengcai drunk at the poetry meeting. Only now did he truly realize that this world is different from the previous life.
Be more cruel.
This is not an exercise, but a real fight to the death.
He frowned, "You clearly knew that he wanted to take your place, so you never thought of getting him down?"
"I have thought about it."
Lu Liang curled his lips and said: "But wasn't it because you had trouble with those wealthy gentry before? They all supported He Zhengci, and I was helpless! And even if He Zhengci was squeezed out, I don't know what the superiors would send.
Although Gui. He Zhengci is quite famous, he is relatively easy to deal with due to his limited knowledge. It is hard to say for someone new."
"no."
Lu Fang said: "He has already found someone to kill me. I can't let him stay in Ningyuan any longer, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well."
"become."
Lu Liang agreed readily, "Leave the rest of the matters to me. You just have to settle your relationship with those wealthy gentry."
Lu Fang nodded, "No problem."
As for how Lu Liang planned to deal with He Zhengci, he didn't bother to ask. From Lu Liang's tone, there should be no problem.
It is definitely not easy for his brother to have two masters of Tongxuan under him. Lu Fangcai didn't believe the lie that he just saved Lao Wang and Lao Xiao by chance.
Lu Liang looked at him and said, "Let Zhu'er follow you from now on. Will Ning'er or Fu'er come to my yard?"
Lu Fang was slightly stunned and couldn't help but look at Zhu'er who was waiting next to him.
Zhu'er's pretty face didn't change much.
Only on her head was the golden eight-treasure hairpin given to her by Lu Fang. The pearls were crystal clear and round, which made Lu Fang feel quite happy.
It seems that this girl has truly forgiven herself.
But he didn't know why Lu Liang suddenly brought this up, and looked at Lu Liang again.
Lu Liang said: "Zhu'er has practiced martial arts, and he can protect you even if he is by your side."
Lu Fang was really surprised, "Zhu'er, have you ever practiced martial arts?"
Zhu'er nodded, "I've been practicing since I was a child."
Lu Fang asked again: "So you have already reached the top grade now?"
Zhu'er looked at Lu Liang, and after Lu Liang nodded slightly, he said: "Sixth grade."
Lu Fang was even more confused.
Sixth grade...
Zhu'er is about the same age as him, but he is actually a sixth-grade expert?
What the hell is this county government office in Luliang?
Although he still doesn't know the general level of martial arts in this world, he is a sixth-grade master at the age of sixteen or seventeen. He should be considered to be extremely talented no matter what, right?
How could Zhu'er be a sixth-grade expert? How could he be a maid in the county government?
After finally regaining his composure, Lu Fang asked Lu Liang: "Is Cao County Lieutenant also a martial artist? What rank is he?"
The county captain of Ningyuan County, whose surname is Cao, is about forty years old. His status in the county government is second only to Lu Liang and He Zhengci, and he is in charge of the county government's security, cracking down on bandits, and training soldiers.
Lu Liang's eyes were slightly uncomfortable and he said: "It seems to be the eighth grade."
Lu Fang glanced sideways at him and chuckled: "The county captain is the eighth grade. My good brother, you won't tell me that Zhu'er also saved his life, right?"
He was convinced that there was definitely a secret about Lu Liang that he didn't know about.
Lu Liang said: "Women cannot be officials. Although Zhu'er is good at martial arts, why can't she be a maid here?"
Then he stood up directly and said, "I'll go to the front to do some errands first."
After finishing speaking, he no longer gave Lu Fang a chance to speak and hurriedly walked out.
Lu Fang looked at the bowl on his table and saw that the rice was only half eaten.
Lu Liang was obviously deliberately avoiding this.
"What is the secret that even I can't know?"
Lu Fang couldn't help but feel more curious, but he could only sigh. If Lu Liang didn't say anything, there was nothing he could do.
Then he looked at Zhu'er next to him and said with a shy smile: "Zhu'er, since you are a sixth-grade master, why didn't you teach me a lesson the day I bullied you?"
Zhu'er said: "You are the young master and I am the maid. How can I do the following?"
Lu Fang didn't know what to say anymore and just kept eating.
In the afternoon, Ning'er moved out of Lu Fang's yard, and Zhu'er moved in.
It's just that they are still working as maids in the county government, so Fu'er and Ning'er are not unhappy.
After Zhuer made the bed, Lu Fang pestered her with questions.
"Zhu'er, how did you reach the sixth level at such a young age?"
"Zhu'er, since you are in the sixth grade, why did you come to my house to be a maid?"
"Zhu'er..."
It's a pity that Zhu'er just remained silent when faced with these questions.
This girl forgives him in her heart, but she still seems a little reluctant to let go of her face.
Lu Fang didn't dare to stalk him.
What he never expected was that Zhu'er's arrival would be the beginning of his "nightmare".
