Volume Three Famous Beilu County Chapter 275 What's the Meaning
And what does Prime Minister Zuo mean?
He supports himself to rise to the top, but does not help himself.
Sheriff Xu was angry, but he didn't dare to express it.
When the new emperor's Dragon Boat Racing approached Governor Xu, he quickly knelt down and said, "Xu Chengyi, Governor of Beilu County, pays homage to Your Majesty. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Sheriff Xu's face fell to the ground.
But Long Chu never stopped in front of him and drove straight towards the county governor's mansion.
Sheriff Xu didn't dare to ride a horse, so he had to follow behind.
Then, the new emperor settled in the governor's mansion, and then he launched the Dragon Expedition.
Under the escort of soldiers in golden armor, the new emperor entered the lobby of the governor's mansion.
Hundreds of officials were displayed outside the palace.
A servant immediately spread a layer of fine leather made of monster beasts on the Grand Master's chair for the new emperor to sit on.
Sheriff Xu stood at the back of the crowd.
After a while, the new emperor summoned him.
Sheriff Xu hurriedly entered the lobby.
At this time, the people standing in the lobby were all high-ranking figures in the Zhou Dynasty.
If something unexpected happens here, the entire Zhou Dynasty may be in chaos in an instant.
But when the new emperor went on patrol, he was surrounded by many guards and many strong men were accompanied by him.
Even those with a first-level martial arts might not dare to cause trouble here.
"I order Xu Chengyi, the governor of Beilu County, to report on the situation in Beilu County." The eunuch on the side said loudly.
What is the situation in Beilu County?
How did Sheriff Xu know about this?
If you ask which caravan in the city is rich, and the shopkeeper is making a lot of money, Commander Xu will know it all.
But Governor Xu basically didn't know much about these things.
But when the new emperor asked a question, Sheriff Xu did not dare not answer.
Forget it, I’m a dead Taoist friend rather than a poor Taoist, let’s get over the current problem first.
Taking advantage of the situation, he pushed Lu Jiuzhang out, attracting anger.
"Back to your Majesty, I have something important to report."
Sheriff Xu said hurriedly.
"Oh? What's important?"
The new emperor spoke slowly, his voice a little lazy.
But when this voice reached Governor Xu's ears, it was so powerful that he did not dare to deceive him.
Those who are superior are born with a certain temperament.
"I'm reporting that Cao Cao of Beilu County, who is working for Li Yong, used 15 million taels of silver in the government's inventory without permission," County Sheriff Xu said.
When this number came to everyone's ears, they didn't think it was a big problem.
For these people, 15 million taels of silver is nothing at all in their minds.
If it were 15 million taels of gold, they might be slightly surprised.
However, it is a serious crime to use treasury silver without permission, not to mention 15 million taels, even 10,000 taels.
"Xu Chengyi, how dare you speak nonsense in front of the Holy One?"
The person who said this was the Minister of Rites.
Li Yong is his son.
Although he is not the one he loves the most, he is still his son.
Even if Li Yong is in trouble, he will not be short of these 15 million taels of silver. How can he use the treasury silver at will?
"Let Li Yong come over!"
The new emperor said angrily.
Since it was mentioned in front of everyone, it proves that it is not a lie.
It is a grave sin to use treasury money.
"Your Majesty, Li Yong is dead."
Sheriff Xu said bravely.
"What? Li Yong is dead?"
Lord Shangshu's face was gloomy.
His son was assigned to Beilu County City just for training, and he will definitely return to Jingzhao Mansion to serve in the future.
Unexpectedly, he died without saying a word, and even before his death, he was left with the stigma of misappropriating treasury funds.
"Your Majesty, Li Yong is Chen's heir. I request a thorough investigation into this matter!"
The Minister of Rites took a step forward and asked.
"You don't need to tell me, if there is really a problem, I will investigate it clearly." After the new emperor said this, he looked at Commander Xu again, "How did you find out?"
"Your Majesty, the people who discovered this matter were not minor officials, but Lu Jiuzhang, the director of the county's demon-slaying department, and Prince Gong."
"The cause of Li Yong's death is also related to Director Lu. On that day, Director Lu came to look for me. He said that monsters were overflowing in the ruins world and asked me to transfer some people from the county governor's mansion."
"Bo Cao happened to have time to work with Lord Li Yong, so I sent Lord Li Yong."
"But when Director Lu came back, he said that Mr. Li Yong had embezzled treasury money and wanted to abscond. Director Lu fought against him, and Mr. Li Yong was killed in the end."
County Sheriff Xu did not dare to lie, so he had to report the truth, but he also extracted himself from it to avoid being resented by the Minister of Rites, "After returning, Sir Lu Jiuzhang and Prince Gong went to check the treasury silver."
"When I arrived, they had already counted most of them. At the same time, under the witness of Prince Gong and Director Lu, the junior officer also wrote a memorial, intending to express it to the Holy One."
Governor Xu did have this idea, but who would have thought that the new emperor would actually come to Beilu County.
"Prince Gong?" the new emperor recalled in his mind.
The new emperor had some impressions of this prince.
His father was once a competitor of the late emperor, but later he settled down and became an idle prince.
Prince Gong's lineage has almost declined in the hands of Zhou Zheng.
The next generation will only have the status of county king.
New emperors generally don't care too much about this kind of royal bloodline.
"Call those two people over."
The new emperor waved his hand and said.
He also wanted to see what Lu Jiuzhang was capable of and why he became the last disciple of Master Xu.
Secondly, I plan to visit the ruins world.
"promise!"
A eunuch immediately went to do it.
…
Lu Jiuzhang was on his break today and did not go to the Demon Slayer Division.
As the sun rises in the east, Lu Jiuzhang is practicing his sword in the courtyard.
A little while ago, a eunuch was summoned outside.
When he saw the eunuch, Lu Jiuzhang had already realized something.
The big shot has arrived!
Then, he saw Prince Gong behind the eunuch.
Under the leadership of the eunuch, the two people walked all the way to the county governor's house.
There are many guards and guards here.
There are so many strong people, which gives people a sense of oppression.
The fat little Zhou Zheng had participated in the coronation ceremony of the new emperor and the annual sacrifices, so he was used to such occasions.
But for Lu Jiuzhang, it was still shocking.
Above the lobby, Lu Jiuzhang saw the new emperor for the first time.
She is very beautiful, but she has more of a heroic spirit all over her body. She wears a yellow robe, and she has the feeling of a heroic and strong woman.
This kind of royal nobleman naturally carries an air of majesty.
The little fat man Zhou Zheng bowed his head and said, "I respectfully pay homage to Your Majesty."
When the little fat Zhou Zheng saw the new emperor, he felt panicked.
But Lu Jiuzhang did not kneel down.
"Lu Jiuzhang, why don't you kneel down?"
Someone criticized, "Could it be that he is contemptuous of the imperial power? Is it contempt of the new emperor? I think there is no need to keep this person. Someone comes, drag Lu Jiuzhang out and kill him."
In the field, the new emperor did not speak, but looked at Lu Jiuzhang with great interest.
Lu Jiuzhang also looked at the new emperor with interest.
This person is one of the most noble people in the world. He holds great power. With just one order, millions of people can be buried and their blood can flow into rivers.
