Hearing that he was Jiang Zhangkun's subordinate, even Gao Yamen fell silent.
Jiang Zhangkun's henchmen have done a lot of bad things, and it is precisely because they have done so many bad things under Jiang Zhangkun's leadership that it is difficult to deal with everyone who has survived the knife edge.
Ordinary government officials who want to deal with them are simply looking for death.
"When will your Excellency come back?" Gao Yamen asked.
The adults are absent and the group is leaderless. It feels really insecure.
Normally, that would be fine, but especially when encountering such a difficult situation, Lu Yi's presence becomes very important.
"I'll send him a message right away." Wen Wensong said, "Those bandits are vicious, and countless people die at their hands every day. We must let you come back early."
When everyone was missing Lu Yi, Lu Yi happened to meet those bandits.
Lu Yi did not travel alone. This time he took fifty people with him.
Now, they happened to be blocked and robbed by bandits.
"Sir, these people look like regular troops." Bai Lihua, who was accompanying them, said.
"Regular army?" Lu Yi thought thoughtfully.
A few days later, Wen Wensong handled the county government affairs as usual. Just when he was still worried about the bandits in Jiuyang Mountain, an official came in in a hurry and said, "Your Excellency is back."
"What?" Wen Wensong was surprised, "Where are you now?"
"I just entered the city gate," the official said, "but my lord said that I have to go to the prison."
When Lu Yi came back, people from all over the county government lined up to welcome him.
"What are you doing?" Lu Yi said as he took off his cloak, "Why do you look like the sky is falling?"
"Sir, you don't know..." Balabala thought for a while and finally vomited out the uneasiness and injustice of these days.
Wen Wensong was second only to Lu Yi in talents among these people. When Lu Yi was a scribe, Wen Wensong also had a good relationship with him. So he became the county magistrate, and Wen Wensong was promoted to the county magistrate.
"After talking for a long time, are you so frightened by the bandits that you can't sleep or eat well?" Lu Yi concluded.
"I'm not having trouble sleeping and eating, but I'm worried about the safety of the people. Jiuyang Mountain is the only way to pass, and many people have to pass there. What will they do if there are bandits blocking the road and robbing them all the time?"
"I just went to the prison and found that our prison is really small. If we arrest a few more people, we won't be able to let them go. I just brought back some people." Lu Yi said, "They are the bandits you keep talking about."
Wen Wensong: "..."
He couldn't believe it, seeing was believing, and hurried to the prison to see the bandits.
When he saw those bandit signs, he finally smiled.
"How did you do it? Did you receive my letter and go to suppress the bandits?" Wen Wensong asked.
"I just happened to pass by, and they happened to block the road and robbed them again. I went to pick up their copycat by the way." Lu Yi said, "Okay, those people have made arrangements first. I have a use."
The bandit issue was resolved and everyone finally calmed down.
Lu Yi had almost arranged the affairs of the county government, and then went to Mr. Jiang's courtyard.
"Master Lu." Shen Shenjun suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yi.
Lu Yi looked at the girl in front of him and took a few steps back.
When Shen Shenjun saw his actions, hurt flashed in his eyes.
"Master Lu, I have a few words to say to you."
"Miss Shen, just talk." Lu Yi said calmly, "I'll listen."
"Master Lu, you also know what happened that day. I was murdered. Besides, I didn't let the evil person succeed, so I am still... a..."
When Shen Shenjun said this, his cheeks turned as red as clouds, like fine rouge and jade.
"Mr. Lu, can you marry me?" Shen Shenjun plucked up the courage and said, "I am willing to be an equal wife with my sister. From now on, I will listen to my sister and whatever she says will be done."
Lu Yi frowned.
If it weren't for Mr. Jiang's sake, this woman would have been kicked away by him.
What kind of wife?
Who is she humiliating?
"Miss Shen, if you want to marry into a good family, I advise you not to provoke me again. I am a small-minded person and can only tolerate one person, and that person is already in my heart."
After saying that, no matter how Shen Shenjun called him from behind, he just thought it was a dog barking and didn't take it to heart at all.
Lu Yi first went to the study to talk to Mr. Jiang for a while. When he came out, Mr. Jiang's expression was extremely solemn.
"This kid is becoming more and more difficult to see through." Mr. Jiang said, "However, Sijun can no longer stay in Hubei City, otherwise it will affect Lu Yi's use by me."
"Has Mr. Ge figured out how to arrange for Miss Biao?"
"Choose a good family for her and marry her!"
Her reputation has become like this, and she is pestering other people's husbands all day long. If she is left like this, she might cause some trouble.
Since the girl can't stay in college, then marrying off can be regarded as sharing some responsibilities for him.
Of course, she is still his granddaughter no matter what, so she cannot choose someone crooked and cracked, as she must be worthy of her no matter what.
Shen Shenjun returned to the room and smashed everything around him to pieces.
On the second day, Mr. Jiang's entourage sent over a dozen portraits.
Shen Shenjun opened it and saw that they were all young talents.
"Master said, it would be best if the young lady can choose someone she likes. However, if you don't like someone, you can just choose someone you like."
Shen Shenjun sneered: "These people are either merchants or below the fifth rank. If I were the granddaughter of my grandfather, would he still be so cruel to me?"
"But miss, no one dares to disobey the master. If the master is angry, the consequences will be very serious. Now the master is still willing to plan for you, if he gets angry..."
Shen Shenjun looked at the portraits and analyzed the information about the people written on the portraits.
In fact, ignoring their low status, everything else is pretty good.
If she had to pick one, let's pick the best looking one!
As expected, Shen Shenjun picked the most beautiful one.
The servant went to deliver the portrait with him.
Lord Shen Shen dismissed his servant and lay down on the soft couch, thinking about Lu Yi's cruelty and coldness.
"They all want me to marry far away, preferably never to see each other again in this life. I won't let them get their way. Even if I want to marry, I will marry a son of an official family."
The one I just picked is a member of the official family, but...
He was a dandy who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun.
At this time, Gao Yamen looked at the strong young people in the yard and said, "What do you want to do?"
"These people are all practitioners. It would be too easy to kill them like this." Lu Yi said lightly, "I want them to be used by me and do things for me. This will be more meaningful."
"This is not a small number, there are more than 500 people in total." Gao Yamen lowered his voice, looked around, and continued after seeing no one else, "If word spreads, let alone Wu Shamao, I'm afraid not everyone will be saved."
