Volume Three Famous Beilu County Chapter 269 Threatening the Governor
Not long after, Chen Xuanfeng entered the courtyard.
Lu Jiuzhang walked outside the courtyard and started chatting with him.
"Then Li Yong has taken the bait."
Chen Xuanfeng whispered, "A lot of money in the County Sheriff's Mansion has been misappropriated by him, but the Bocao he controls is airtight, making it difficult for outsiders to get in and search for evidence."
The problem lies here.
Without evidence, Li Yong cannot be killed.
"Leave this matter to me."
Lu Jiuzhang said in a deep voice.
In order to kill Li Yong, he had to create evidence even if there was no evidence, and find ways to kill him.
"To add more fuel to the fire and make him suffer more losses, I will send someone there tomorrow," Lu Jiuzhang said.
Lu Jiuzhang already had a goal in mind when choosing this person.
"What's next?"
Chen Xuanfeng asked.
"Find a way to lead it to the ruins."
Lu Jiuzhang said in a deep voice.
Unable to wait that long, he planned to kill him in advance.
…
The next morning.
Lu Jiuzhang returned to the Demon Slayer Division.
I haven't returned for many days, and the Demon Slayer Department is still running in an orderly manner.
Those who had the power to influence the Demon Slaying Division of the entire county were transferred to the southern border to fight against the monsters.
The Demon Slaying Department of the county is full of newcomers, and the foundation is not yet stable.
As soon as Lu Jiuzhang arrived at his office, Chen Yuzhang walked in and handed Lu Jiuzhang a secret letter.
"It's about the war situation on the southern border, Director Lu."
Chen Yuzhang reminded.
Lu Jiuzhang opened the secret letter and browsed it carefully.
The war in the southern border is stalemate, and the demon clan is throwing more and more monsters into the battlefield.
At least tens of thousands of warriors were fighting on the southern border.
The place has turned into a bloody training ground, and warriors die almost every day.
The casualties of the demon clan were also extremely heavy, but the demon emperor seemed determined to consume the power of the Zhou Dynasty.
This letter was written by Chen Yuzhang's father. The purpose was to tell Chen Yuzhang that the third recruitment of warriors might be coming soon, so that Chen Yuzhang could be prepared.
Naturally, this preparation would not allow Chen Yuzhang to go to southern Xinjiang to participate in the war.
I guess I should let him hide as far away as possible and avoid it as much as possible.
Giving this letter to Lu Jiuzhang was also to remind Lu Jiuzhang that Lu Jiuzhang owed him a favor.
He had inquired about Lu Jiuzhang's intentions before, but he was also unwilling to go to southern Xinjiang.
Chen Yuzhang was prepared, and Lu Jiuzhang was also prepared, using some methods to avoid this transfer.
Later in the letter, the situation in southern Xinjiang was mentioned. Nowadays, southern Xinjiang is full of spiritual energy and is indeed a good place for cultivation.
Among those ruins, there are many treasures of heaven and earth.
Since the last time several first-level warriors from the Great Zhou Dynasty forced their way into the ruins world, they seemed to have reached some kind of special agreement with the sects in the ruins world.
There is no danger for most people entering the ruins.
There are a lot of treasures hidden inside, and many people's realms have been rapidly improved because of it.
The border troops stationed in southern Xinjiang have also been preparing to make a move recently, and are suspected of making a surprise attack into the demon clan and starting a war with them.
The initiative in the battle cannot be entirely in the hands of the demon clan. If things continue like this, the Zhou Dynasty will be at a disadvantage.
The military camp set off and rushed into the demon clan. Only by causing physical pain to the demon clan would it be possible to temporarily stop the war.
Lu Jiuzhang put down the letter and looked at Chen Yuzhang, "I understand your father's intentions. Don't worry, I will try my best to protect you this time."
"Thank you, Director Lu!"
Chen Yuzhang was overjoyed.
"How did you do with the things I arranged for you to do some time ago?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked about serious matters.
"Everything has been done. With the help of the people from Baihua Valley, a large number of monsters have been eliminated in the territory." Chen Yuzhang said hurriedly, "But there are still strong monsters in the ruins. Beilu County City
The sixth-grade combat power among the Demon Slayer Division is still too small."
"Well..."
Lu Jiuzhang nodded, already having an idea in his mind, "Go down, I'll call you if I need anything later."
After saying that, Lu Jiuzhang waved his hand.
After Chen Yuzhang left, Lu Jiuzhang immersed himself in processing the backlog of documents and files.
Most of the files are complaints from the prefectural and county demon slaying departments below. Some say that their demon slaying departments are currently short of manpower, and some say that their budget for this year is too small, leaving the county and city demon slaying departments with too many people.
Approval of some funds.
Lu Jiuzhang basically glanced at these documents and then threw them aside.
The Demon Slaying Department in the prefectural city is short of manpower, so does the Demon Slaying Department in the county city have too many people?
If the Demon Slaying Department in the prefectural city doesn't have enough money, should the Demon Slaying Department in the county city have enough money?
Lu Jiuzhang leaned on his chair and felt that he couldn't be so perfunctory, so he immediately wrote a letter and asked someone to hand it over to the Demon Slayer General.
Since they ask themselves for money, then they ask the Demon Slayer General for money.
If the head of the Demon Slaying Department has no money, then Lu Jiuzhang cannot be blamed.
"Bang bang bang..."
As soon as Lu Jiuzhang finished writing the letter, there was a knock on the door outside.
The door to Lu Jiuzhang's office was open, and the other party might have reminded him.
Raising his head slightly, Lu Jiuzhang saw the woman in red leaning lazily on the door frame.
Speaking of which, Lu Jiuzhang still can't remember her name until now.
I had read it a few times in the dossier, but Lu Jiuzhang forgot about it afterwards.
There are too many things and my memory is getting worse and worse.
Lu Jiuzhang asked, "Is something wrong?"
"Can't you come if you have nothing to do?"
The woman in red stepped in. She was still dressed in red. Even though she had known her for a long time, she was still stunning.
She sat on the chair below Lu Jiuzhang, "Director Lu, I wonder if Director Lu has thought about what I said before?"
"Something? What's the matter?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked rhetorically.
"Well……"
The woman in red was stunned.
Originally, she thought that she still had some weight in Lu Jiuzhang's heart.
Moreover, he was in the Demon Slaying Division, and no matter how powerful Zhao Yuru from Thousand Machine Tower was, he could not meet Lu Jiuzhang without looking up.
Take this time for example, Lu Jiuzhang returned to the Demon Slayer Division, maybe Zhao Yuru didn’t know?
But from the moment Lu Jiuzhang stepped into the gate of the Demon Slayer Division, the woman in red knew it.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jiuzhang immediately forgot about what he said.
"I said before that I wanted you to join Baihua Valley."
The woman in red explained.
"oh……"
Lu Jiuzhang thought of it.
But wasn’t he politely declined at the time?
Lu Jiuzhang said that if he planned to go, he would tell her.
Doesn't she know about such an obvious rejection?
Doesn't she understand?
Lu Jiuzhang had no choice but to say again, "I haven't decided to go yet. It's probably unlikely."
"Director Lu, things are different now."
The woman in red stood up, walked to Lu Jiuzhang's side, and put her right hand on Lu Jiuzhang's shoulder, "Director Lu, don't you really know?"
"What?"
"The three sects are preparing to withdraw their power from the Demon Slayer Division." The woman in red said with confidence.
"withdraw?"
Lu Jiuzhang was slightly surprised.
He really doesn't know this yet.
But didn’t the people from the three sects just join the Demon Slaying Division not long ago?
Moreover, the three major sects also paid a considerable price.
The idea of the top leaders of the three sects is that they want their disciples to join the Demon Slayer Division. If they become top leaders in the future, they can become deeply entrenched and support their own sects.
At the same time, he also occupies a place in Daxia's officialdom and has more say.
"It's not a big deal, it's just a little unpleasant. People from the three sects had some conflicts with the Zhou Dynasty, and then the people from the three sects wanted to withdraw at this time."
"Director Lu, those who understand current affairs are heroes. The Great Zhou Dynasty is already on the verge of collapse. I believe you can see this, so why are you still stubborn?"
The woman in red was extremely puzzled.
The Zhou Dynasty seemed powerful, but in fact it was powerful on the outside and weak on the inside.
Not only do we face many external challenges, but the people inside also have their own agendas.
None of those aristocratic families are easy to get along with, and I'm afraid they are not willing to be controlled by the Zhou Dynasty.
If these aristocratic families defected, would the Great Zhou Dynasty still be the Great Zhou Dynasty?
"I still don't want to go."
Lu Jiuzhang continued to shake his head.
"Why!"
The woman in red sighed, "I haven't received the order from the sect yet, but I guess I will soon."
"It doesn't matter. Since we are working together and you want to leave, I won't stop you too much."
Lu Jiuzhang said slowly.
After the woman in red left, Lu Jiuzhang called Chen Yuzhang and asked him to help investigate the ins and outs of the matter.
There was a conflict between the three sects and the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty. Lu Jiuzhang really didn't know about this matter.
He was probably still in the Far North forest at that time.
After giving instructions to Chen Yuzhang, Lu Jiuzhang stood up and walked towards the county governor's house.
At this time, it was time for him to find a way to implement his goal.
After being informed by the servant, Lu Jiuzhang entered the governor's mansion.
It's different from the previous time I came here, but I haven't been back for half a month. It seems like everything has been replaced from top to bottom.
Even the layout of the garden has been changed.
Sheriff Xu is located in the study. When Lu Jiuzhang arrived, our newly appointed Sheriff Xu was sitting on a chair reviewing files without even raising his head.
This was done deliberately to cool Lu Jiuzhang and make him feel frustrated.
Standing where Lu Jiuzhang was, he could clearly see that the files approved by Governor Xu had been placed upside down.
"Ahem..."
Lu Jiuzhang coughed twice and said, "Lu Jiuzhang, director of the county's Demon Slaying Department, pays homage to Commander Xu."
After the words fell, Sheriff Xu did not reply.
This is deliberately embarrassing myself.
He was an enemy anyway, so Lu Jiuzhang didn't care. He took two more steps forward and shouted with all his strength, "Lu Jiuzhang, Director of the County Demon Slaying Department, pays homage to Commander Xu."
This sharp shout was mixed with some martial arts power.
Sheriff Xu felt dizzy and uncomfortable all over.
"Hmph..." Sheriff Xu raised his head in displeasure, "I heard it, Director Lu doesn't have to be so loud, right?"
"Hahaha, aren't you afraid that the governor is deaf? When you are old, you should not get involved in these things." Lu Jiuzhang said with a smile, "Isn't it good to stay in that small place in Anxi Prefecture? Why come to Beilu County?
Where is the city?”
"Even in such a big place, you can make a lot of money, but it will die very quickly."
Sheriff Xu's face darkened, "Lu Jiuzhang, are you threatening me?"
