Volume Three, Famous Beilu County Chapter 242, Lost in One Dynasty
"May I ask who your father-in-law is?"
Jun Cheng asked.
Regarding this position, the county actually has some ideas.
He has been acting county magistrate for some time.
I didn’t expect that the position would end up being someone else’s.
"Prefect Xu of Anxi Prefecture."
The eunuch said slowly.
"It's him? How could it be him?" Jun Cheng was puzzled.
In terms of position, the county magistrate is higher than the prefect Xu.
In terms of ability, the county magistrate is a few steps ahead of the prefect Xu.
"This is arranged by the new emperor, and our family cannot be the master." The eunuch smiled, and then whispered in the ear of the Jun Cheng, "But don't worry, Lord Jun Cheng, this eunuch Xu will not be able to stay in this position for long, and good things are hard to come by.
You might as well, Sir Jun Cheng, wait a little longer."
What does this mean?
Jun Cheng didn't understand for a while.
"My father-in-law, can you elaborate?" Jun Cheng took out a treasure from his arms and handed it to the eunuch.
The eunuch narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, "This matter was originally confidential, and we didn't dare to say more, but since the Lord Commander asked, we told everything we know."
"Then after Prefect Xu comes to Beilu County, most of the power should still be in your hands." The eunuch said, "It means that Prefect Xu will be sidelined."
"What's the explanation?"
The county magistrate was confused.
"Our family doesn't know more about it, and even if it does, we don't dare to say anything." The eunuch smiled and said, "Master Jun Cheng, you can figure it out for yourself. Our family is going back to Jingzhao Mansion to resume life!"
The eunuch walked towards the outside, and the big men in golden armor followed behind him.
These golden-armored men are the Royal Guards of the Imperial City, and they are quite powerful.
After these people left, Jun Cheng sat on a chair and thought about what the eunuch had just said.
…
In the house.
When Chen Xuanfeng came back, he informed Lu Jiuzhang of the newly discovered news about Li Yong.
The two exchanged news.
There are currently two problems. The first one is that it is very difficult to kill a bookkeeper in Beilu County.
The second is how to deal with his father's counterattack.
The counterattack of an official from Jingzhao Mansion will be overwhelming and set off a huge wave in the entire Beilu County.
"Act carefully and kill him without revealing your identity." Chen Xuanfeng suggested, "There are ruins in the black mist, and there are opportunities in them. You can sneak into them and kill them in the black mist of the ruins.
"
"But now the question is how to create an alibi."
Chen Xuanfeng had a headache.
The grievances between Li Yong and Lu Jiuzhang can be easily investigated.
Once something happens to Li Yong, his father may be the first to suspect Lu Jiuzhang.
Even if Lu Jiuzhang’s teacher is the great scholar Xu Shi, so what?
The other party is also a high-ranking official, and he must have kept a lot of followers over the years.
If they didn't take action and sent someone to assassinate him, Lu Jiuzhang would be in danger all the time.
"Luo Fusheng is not suitable to take action either."
Lu Jiuzhang pondered for a moment, "He is so skilled and many people know about him."
First of all, Lord Jun Cheng learned that there were masters around Lu Jiuzhang, and the little murderer Xuanji also knew about it.
It is unrealistic for Luo Fusheng to take action.
"Can a Lord Shangshu mobilize a first-level martial artist?" Lu Jiuzhang asked, "Or a second-level martial arts expert?"
"Hard to say!"
Chen Xuanfeng thought for a moment and said, "It is not impossible to get a first-level martial artist to take action, but the cost is extremely high. I don't know if a minister can afford such a price."
"But if you are a second-grade martial artist, it is still very possible."
"Although there is a difference in quality, there is a huge difference."
"Once a second-level martial artist restrains Senior Luo Fusheng, and the remaining third- and fourth-level warriors attack us, we will still be in trouble."
Herein lies the trouble.
As for killing people by coincidence, there is no need to think about it.
How can there be so many coincidences in this world?
The other party is not a fool. The more flawlessly he does it, the more suspicious he will be of Lu Jiuzhang.
There were many difficulties for a while.
But Lu Jiuzhang will not give up.
The belief in avenging his eldest brother has supported Lu Jiuzhang until today.
The enemy is right in front of you, in this city.
Not being able to kill your enemies with your hands will make people feel sad.
"I have a plan to start from here and kill Li Yong." Chen Xuanfeng said suddenly.
"What's the plan?" Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"Since we can't kill him, we can borrow the help of the imperial court." Chen Xuanfeng said, "Bo Cao was in charge of the money and grain books. He took action from the money and grain department and suffered a huge deficit."
"Kill someone with a borrowed knife, kill him with the help of the laws of the Zhou Dynasty!"
Chen Xuanfeng said, "But this matter must be done step by step. It is best for us not to come forward and only play a guiding role to guide him to use the money and food of Beilu County."
When it comes to using the county's money and food, let alone Bo Cao.
Even the county guard would probably be beheaded.
If Lu Jiuzhang sent someone to steal it, there would be clues left.
It is best to think of a way to let it enter the vortex on its own.
"I already have some ideas about this matter." Chen Xuanfeng said slowly, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I will start preparations today."
"Can!"
Lu Jiuzhang nodded slightly.
Since Chen Xuanfeng has an idea, let him do it.
It's a pity that Lu Jiuzhang can't kill him with his own hands!
…
The Demon Slayer Division.
The people from Baihua Valley have already started setting off.
Lu Jiuzhang stood on the main hall, watching the retreating figures of these people.
"Director Lu, don't worry, our disciples from Baihua Valley will definitely shine in the demon suppression this time."
The woman in red smiled.
"I'll give you two things."
Lu Jiuzhang took out two calligraphy treasures from his arms.
These two pieces of calligraphy contain the power of Lu Jiuzhang's Confucianism and Taoism.
As for the specific power, Lu Jiuzhang didn't know.
During this period of time, Lu Jiuzhang had not tried it.
"Kekeke..."
The woman in red smiled and said, "You are so kind to me, Master Lu, is he interested in me? Although Baihua Valley prohibits disciples from marrying outside, if Director Lu insists on marrying me, I believe the elders of my master will also agree."
"What are you thinking about?"
Lu Jiuzhang was speechless, "Be sure to eliminate all the monsters when you go here, and ensure that you are traveling safely."
"As you command!"
The woman in red took Lu Jiuzhang's calligraphy treasure and walked outside.
Those disciples from Baihua Valley have already put on the costumes of the Demon Slayer Division.
Most of these clothes are mainly black, which makes them look more heroic when worn on them.
"Master Lu!"
Chen Yuzhang came over and said, "I am going to suppress the demon this time, and I also hope that Mr. Lu will..."
Chen Yuzhang was panicked.
He had offended Lu Jiuzhang before. What if Lu Jiuzhang got out of the city and attacked him on the way to suppress the demon?
That would be the end of it.
So before leaving, Chen Yuzhang planned to ask.
"Go in peace."
Lu Jiuzhang waved his hand.
Chen Yuzhang is not as good as his eyes and is not worthy of Lu Jiuzhang's attention.
…
Anxi Prefecture.
In the prefect's mansion.
Prefect Xu was overjoyed after receiving the imperial edict.
He ordered his family to start moving, and all the valuable things were moved to Beilu County.
"Master, do you need to move some things?"
Is it wrong to be a housekeeper?
"Fuck you, are you the master or am I the master?" Xu Taishou said dissatisfied, "Aren't these things money?"
In order to give money to Prime Minister Zuo, Prefect Xu's family fortune was completely emptied.
Fortunately, he finally got his wish and became the governor of Beilu County.
The great Confucian Master Xu was still from his own family, so he didn't expect that he was not sad at all about what happened to him.
Worse than an outsider!
Xu Taishou swore that he would be Prime Minister Zuo's most loyal subordinate from now on.
There are three things a new official should do when he takes office. The first thing he needs to do is to stabilize his relationship with Prime Minister Zuo.
Xu Taishou was looking for an opportunity to raise some silver coins and send them to Prime Minister Zuo's house.
"Sell the things you can sell, there's no need to move them away." Xu Taishou said after thinking for a moment.
Upon hearing this, the servants breathed a sigh of relief.
I had previously planned to move all the stone lions at the entrance.
The stone lion is too heavy. If they were asked to move it, they would be exhausted and unable to move it.
It would undoubtedly be much easier if it were sold.
"Also, prepare a banquet to celebrate my taking office." Xu Taishou said slowly, "Let the county magistrates from several counties under our jurisdiction come to Anxi Mansion and have a drink with me."
I moved to the right to be the governor of Beilu County. These people below are not allowed to send some congratulatory gifts?
In this way, your pocket will be full.
Time flies to one day later.
Governor Xu led a mighty army towards Beilu County.
There were more than a hundred carriages in the convoy along the road.
The boys followed around the car, never leaving.
This is all due to Xu Taishou's softness. If something goes wrong, even beheading them may not be able to stop Xu Taishou's anger.
No, it should be Sheriff Xu!
Along the way there was a black snake, hunting monsters in the mountains.
There was a man standing next to Black Snake.
This person and the snake are none other than Luo Fusheng and the big black snake.
During this period, Luo Fusheng often took Big Black Snake to practice in the mountains, and Big Black Snake's strength improved by leaps and bounds.
While resting and eating at the inn, the big black snake noticed the convoy.
The leader, a fat man in rich clothes, looked familiar to the big black snake.
Isn't this Prefect Xu?
The big black snake was startled, looking at him as if he was about to move.
"Second uncle, give me a helping hand."
The big black snake came close to Luo Fusheng's ear and whispered a few words.
After a while, a black mist poured in.
When they saw this black mist, everyone in the station was frightened.
Especially Governor Xu, who holds an important position, has heard a lot of rumors about Black Mist during this period.
"escape!"
Prefect Xu rushed outside the inn.
As soon as he left the gate of the inn, Prefect Xu was stunned and almost stunned.
In the black mist between them, a huge monster appeared faintly.
The head was bigger than a thatched hut, and the black snake spit out snakes and rushed toward Prefect Xu.
For a moment, Prefect Xu didn't know how to deal with himself, so he lay on the ground and pretended to be dead.
I don't know how long it took, but when Prefect Xu got up again, he found that the black fog had disappeared, and everyone in the station was intact.
It's just... all the goods carried by his own fleet have disappeared!
Xu Taishou was so angry that he vomited blood and fell to the ground. He could only breathe out but not in.
