Volume Three Famous Beilu County Chapter 270 Everything is Ready
"There's no threat, it's just a young man giving some advice to some dim-eyed old men."
Lu Jiuzhang smiled and sat on a stool nearby.
Sheriff Xu was so angry that he was speechless.
He wanted to kill Lu Jiuzhang now, but he didn't dare to do it.
This is the Sheriff's Mansion!
If he kills the director of the county's demon-slaying department, I'm afraid he himself won't be able to survive.
But Lu Jiuzhang’s words are really irritating!
"Hmph! Let me give you a piece of advice, young people, don't be too arrogant." Commander Xu snorted coldly.
"How can you still call yourself a young man if you are not full of energy?"
Lu Jiuzhang smiled.
"I still have important matters. If Director Lu has nothing to do, please don't disturb my office."
Seeing that he could not defeat Lu Jiuzhang, Commander Xu issued an order to expel him.
"Of course something happened. If nothing happened, why would you come to see Governor Xu?"
Lu Jiuzhang said, "I want to go to the ruins to slay the demons, but the Demon Slayer Division is short of manpower. I hope the Sheriff can send me some men."
"Haha, are you here for this matter?"
Sheriff Xu started laughing.
There is no attitude at all when asking for help.
"There are no people in the Demon Slaying Department. Is there one in the Sheriff's Mansion?" Sheriff Xu said, "The warehouse in the Sheriff's Mansion has been empty recently. How about this? Director Lu sent some money to replenish some of the warehouse in the Sheriff's Mansion."
"If I am satisfied, let alone go and get the troops, I can even write to Prime Minister Zuo and ask him to send a few martial arts experts to help out."
This statement is of course bragging.
But once the money is in his hands, it will not be that simple for Lu Jiuzhang to get it back.
"The Sheriff has misunderstood. I'm not here to beg you." Lu Jiuzhang said, "A big shot is about to visit. Isn't it that the Sheriff doesn't know about this?"
"If you can't deal with the monsters in the territory, does County Sheriff Xu think you can still hold on to your position?"
Lu Jiuzhang said.
Sheriff Xu is really obsessed with money, and everything can be linked to money.
Hearing this, Sheriff Xu's face darkened.
He naturally knew this.
But who is the big shot who came? Commander Xu didn't know clearly.
He also wrote a secret letter and passed it on to Prime Minister Zuo, wanting to know who his backer, Prime Minister Zuo, was.
But after the secret letter was sent, nothing happened.
There was no reply from Prime Minister Zuo.
When a big shot comes, it is impossible not to prepare in advance.
Suppressing demons is also a top priority.
If you don't deserve to be scolded by Lu Jiuzhang, you will still be the one who gets scolded.
"Don't worry, Director Lu, I will send someone."
Sheriff Xu said.
He had already made up his mind. Since he was sending people there, he would definitely create some trouble for Lu Jiuzhang.
And it’s still a big, troublesome kind!
Otherwise, Commander Xu would not be able to calm down after being so insulted by Lu Jiuzhang.
Li Yong is just the most suitable candidate!
When Commander Xu came to the governor's house for the first time, Master Yu did not deal with him.
The county lieutenant didn't like him very much either.
He didn't have many people at his disposal, and Li Yong happened to be one of them.
Moreover, Li Yong had the same purpose as him, which was to kill Lu Jiuzhang.
Because a big shot was about to come, Sheriff Xu did not dare to take action.
Once there is trouble, it will be difficult for him to hold the position of county guard.
When the big shot leaves, it's time for him to take action!
…
After Lu Jiuzhang finished his work, he returned to the house.
But the fat little Zhou Zheng planned to go out.
"Little prince, where are you going?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"Little prince?"
Being called such by Lu Jiuzhang made Zhou Zheng feel uncomfortable all over, "Brother, you should call me little fat guy! Otherwise I will panic and always feel like you are trying to trick me!"
"The young prince is joking, how can it be a trap?" Lu Jiuzhang said with a smile, "The young prince can help me do something, it's not difficult!"
After that, Lu Jiuzhang came to the young prince's side and started to give instructions carefully.
After a moment, the young prince's eyes widened, "Damn it, isn't this a trick on me? Who is Li Yong's father? A second-rank official, or a second-rank official with real power!"
"Who am I? I am a prince in name, but in fact I have no rights at all!"
"I dare not offend a second-grade official!"
The little fat man shook his head.
Although the prince is nominally more powerful than Li Yong's father, the fat boy Zhou Zheng knows just how much water the prince has.
To put it bluntly, if a choice is placed in front of you.
Sacrifice the prince Zhou Zheng and sacrifice Li Yong's father.
The new emperor will definitely choose to sacrifice Zhou Zheng!
Li Yong's father was much more capable than him in managing the country.
What is the use of Zhou Zheng, an idle prince with no real power and no ability?
"Don't worry, I'm here!"
Lu Jiuzhang patted the little fat man on the back, "And I know an excellent place to practice. It was once slashed by a strong man at the semi-saint level, forming a Gangfeng Canyon!"
"I gained a lot from experiencing the martial arts of a semi-saint there."
"My sword was learned from here."
Lu Jiuzhang started to fool him.
"really?"
Little Fatty Zhou Zheng said half-convinced.
"I can also use that move [killing eternity with one sword] again in front of you." Lu Jiuzhang affirmed.
"Well... leave this matter to me."
The little fat man Zhou Zheng nodded.
He had indeed seen Lu Jiuzhang's knife.
Extremely strong!
When the sword comes out, all the martial arts moves seem to be eclipsed!
Moreover, there are many flaws in this sword, and it doesn't look like an inherited move.
Speaking of understanding, it is still possible!
After leaving the house, the little fat man went to the gambling house.
After showing hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in front of the gambling house boy, he was taken to the most luxurious room in the gambling house.
The people sitting here are all big shots, and the things they gamble with are also valuable.
The fat little Zhou Zheng was sitting opposite Li Yong.
Little Fatty can't play with this stuff, but he can cheat.
On the one hand, his cultivation level is high, and on the other hand, he has many treasures on his body.
And the Dobby Rat can also help!
With the help of many factors, Li Yong quickly lost millions of taels of silver.
Li Yong was furious, so he decided to bet bigger!
"I still have five million taels of silver here. Do you dare to gamble with me?" Li Yong asked with red eyes.
"Afraid of a ball!"
The little fat man Zhou Zheng also took out several million taels of silver and placed them in front of him.
In this round, the little fat boy Zhou Zheng still won.
Li Yong staggered to his feet and said to the little fat man, "May I ask who you are?"
"Who do you think you are, and you ask me about my identity?"
Little Fatty Zhou Zheng said sarcastically.
He was indeed wary of Li Yong's father, who had great authority and was also an old fox who was difficult to deal with.
But Li Yong is a hammer!
Fatty Zhou Zheng really looks down on these little bastards.
They are both second generation, but the little fat guy’s second generation status is stronger!
"Li Yong made a note of it and will come back to retrieve the situation another day."
After that, Li Yong walked outside.
"Trash means trash. If you lose this little money, you can't even afford it." According to Lu Jiuzhang's previous teaching, the little fat man Zhou Zhengzhong was a fierce general.
Although this method is very simple, Li Yong, a big shot from Jingzhao Mansion, still uses this trick.
They have a good face, and they will do everything possible to maintain their dignity.
"I heard that you are still working in Bo Cao and you only have this little money. Isn't this ridiculous?" Zhou Zheng continued to mock, "If you don't have money, kneel down and call me dad, and I will give you hundreds of thousands of taels."
Huahua?”
"Little fat man, do you dare to insult me?"
Li Yong was so angry that he even prepared to take action on the spot.
"Haha, if you can, kill me. Someone is coming here in two days. You don't know if you don't come back, right? Can you afford the trouble if something goes wrong now?"
Zhou Zheng continued to taunt.
Zhou Zheng really didn't know who the visitor was.
He is an idle prince with no rights and no intelligence system at all.
Lu Jiuzhang told him about this.
Sheriff Xu didn't know either, and the county magistrate didn't know the identity of the visitor either.
But Li Yong knew it.
His father was right next to that person, keeping track of some of the movements.
Some time ago, his father had sent a message, asking him to perform well in Beilu County. If there was a chance, he would use this opportunity to push him in front of the new emperor.
If he is appreciated by the new emperor, he will be promoted and make a fortune.
But now that he was being so insulted, Li Yong was extremely angry.
"Fat man, just wait, I'm going to get the money now. I will definitely win you tonight."
Li Yong shouted loudly and walked outside.
He originally had a lot of money, but part of it was used to support his retainers, part of it was spent on himself, and the remaining part was given to the newly appointed Governor Xu.
That Sheriff Xu is just a country bumpkin!
Even Li Yong looks down on this kind of person!
But there was no other way. He wanted to use the power of Governor Xu to eradicate Lu Jiuzhang and eliminate future troubles forever.
That’s why it’s so arrogant!
With no money left on him, the only money he can use now is the money in the treasury of Beilu County.
Only use part of it, wait until tonight's matter is resolved, and return it tomorrow. It should be fine!
Li Yong comforted himself in his heart, and at the same time took steps towards the warehouse quickly.
After burning the incense, Li Yong came back with 20 million taels of silver.
It's a pity that all the 20 million taels of silver were lost in the end...
…
The next morning.
Lu Jiuzhang stood in front of the Demon Slayer Department. He had summoned all the people.
The people from Baihua Valley are also here.
They haven't received the order yet, and they haven't left the Demon Slaying Division for a day, and they are still members of the Demon Slaying Division.
Everyone dressed up and sent off, preparing to go to slay the demon.
"Director Lu!"
Lu Jiuzhang was about to take someone there, but the woman in red came over.
She walked in a hurry and looked anxious.
"What's the matter?"
Lu Jiuzhang had a bad feeling in his heart.
"There is news from the sect. Let us return to the sect today to resume our duties."
The woman in red said.
Today?
What a good time to pick!
"Then let's go!"
Lu Jiuzhang said in a deep voice.
The Demon Slayer General Division has an order. If people from the three sects want to leave, they should be allowed to leave.
"Can……"
The woman in red hesitated, but she still persuaded Lu Jiuzhang to go to Baihua Valley.
In her opinion, in a time of great chaos, only Baihua Valley might be able to protect Lu Jiuzhang.
