"Okay, sit down and talk. Come and watch the tea."
With just one sentence, Lu Haoran received treatment that Niu Xingyuan had never received before. It can be seen that Li Po still prefers people like this who are aware of current affairs.
Once upon a time, he himself was very aware of current affairs, but times have changed. Now, who can make him smile and say some flattering words?
On the contrary, as soon as they met, more and more people bowed to him, and the reputation of a prince was enough to scare most people away without him shaking his body.
"Thank you, lord."
Lu Haoran got up from the ground and bowed deeply again, and then carefully sat down on the couch. Then he raised his head slightly and looked at the freshly baked His Highness the King of Han. When he met his eyes, he immediately lowered his head.
, so respectful, even Li Po felt a little embarrassed.
Of course, this is just a joke. Li Po has seen many servile people, and Lu Haoran is just one of them.
When they prostrated themselves on the ground, they were thinking about the same things. They were all thinking about their own wealth and life, but their actions were different.
A stupid guy will just pray for his life again and again, but a smart guy will constantly find bargaining chips for himself and try to make his life more valuable.
"How have you been, Commander Lu, these days? Since you claim to be a guilty minister, I have to ask, what crime did Commander Lu commit?"
Li Po asked lightly, but the majestic aura slowly flowed in the hall until it completely enveloped Lu Haoran.
How was your life? The bitterness in Lu Haoran's mouth seemed to be too strong to go away. He was thrown into Jinyang Prison. The experience of being ignored made him unforgettable.
What kind of people did he meet in prison? The famous people in Jin, the powerful people in Guanxi, the bandits in Henan, and even the Turkic nobles. Almost all of them have their own backgrounds. Some people seem to have been imprisoned for many days.
He had no worries about eating and drinking, and no one came to torture him, but everyone was as thin as a zombie.
With that kind of deathly lonely atmosphere, even ordinary people would definitely go crazy if they stayed there for a long time, let alone those who had once been wealthy.
The most tormenting thing is that occasionally people will be taken away and never come back. Some people must have weak knees and find a way to survive. Some people may be dead when they get out.
This kind of life, caught between hope and despair, is like a dull knife, cutting into people's hearts and making life worse than death.
Speaking of which, Lu Haoran's bones are not soft. When he was in Changping County, he saw the chaos in the world and personally led his troops to fight fiercely with the bandits. There were not just one or two scars on his body. If not, how could he win over the people of the county?
Respect and hold the authority of a place?
But the world was in turmoil, and the King of Jin's flag was changing. Most people were involuntarily, and Lu Haoran was no exception. Especially after going around Jinyang Prison, he no longer wanted to go back to that ghost place.
In addition, Pei Shiqing went on a killing spree in Shangdang and massacred the Yan Zong clan, which really scared him...
With such a thought, what's the point of bowing down? If there is a need, he would be happy to serve as a gatekeeper to His Highness the King of Han. As for what this prince of Jin looks like, how old he is, etc., to him, it is all
Same.
With such power, no matter how ugly he is, how young he is, or how out of tune his speech and behavior are, what does it matter? He, Lu Dalang, has never wanted to seek refuge with a wise master.
After thinking about it... I couldn't say that I had a bad life. As for what he was guilty of, Lu Haoran just opened his mouth and said, "I am a subject in Changping, my ears and eyes are blocked, I don't know the power of my lord, and I have repeatedly violated the law, which is offensive."
, it is indeed a crime worthy of death.”
"I also hope that my lord, Nian Chen, has made some minor achievements in his tenure at Changping and is not like the Yan family who acted like a mantis arm acting as a chariot. I can forgive my sin..."
This person begged for mercy more thoroughly and didn't even mention the others. The general idea was that we are just a Changping native with no knowledge, so please let me go this time.
Li Po was quite satisfied after hearing this, so he nodded and said: "The governor's words are very pleasing to the ears, and they are better than many others. And you can live in peace in Jinyang, so don't think too much about other things."
Lu Haoran was stunned for a moment. After a few words, he got the result he wanted, which made him feel quite fantasy. He couldn't help but think in his heart, is it really okay for you to just do this?
Thinking of this, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. In fact, he had already thought about leading his family directly into Jinyang beforehand. He felt that his family's life was safe, so he dared to commit the act of severing the wrists of a strong man.
Otherwise, what would happen if his hand was chopped off but his life was lost? He, Lu Haoran, was not that stupid.
What was beyond his expectation was that he seemed to have overestimated his own weight. When he arrived in Jinyang, he was thrown into prison and suffered for many days before he met the real owner.
Such a process was obviously something he had never expected before.
And now, in just a few words, he got such a result. He didn't know whether to be happy or depressed. The happy part was that his family and life were finally saved, but the frustrating part was that he wanted to live in Jinyang for many years.
He wants to be an ordinary obedient citizen...well, this is the heaviest punishment he expected.
Of course, unlike Yun Dingxing, as a Jin native, he is not without relatives in Jinyang. He has several friends and a family of in-laws who all live in Jinyang.
These people are also from official families. As long as Li Po is relieved, Lu Haoran will not have to worry about the food and clothing of his wife and children when he settles down in Jinyang.
Therefore, Lu Haoran, who was a little dizzy, looked at Li Po a few more times, wondering in his heart whether this man was really magnanimous, or whether he did not take him, the former head of a county, seriously at all.
Feeling inexplicable, Lu Haoran gritted his teeth, put aside his fear of Jinyang Prison, and finally struggled for his official title.
He stood up and gave another deep salute, "My lord is so kind to me, I feel deeply in my heart, and I can't repay you... It is rare for Niu Changshi to have great talents. He has been subordinated to Changping County for many years. Now he is appreciated by my lord. It is a rare opportunity... But before
I was quite angry when I saw him leaving, but did I offend my lord with my words?"
"Oh? How do you say this?" Li Po rolled his eyelids and said to himself, you two are really affectionate and righteous. You came to my place to plead with each other. You won't discuss it in prison, right?
"Niuchang Shi is knowledgeable and well-versed in arts and sciences, but he is an upright person and not good at speaking. If he is rude... Rong Chen will try to persuade him more after that, and he will be able to die for the Lord..."
Li Po laughed loudly after hearing this, shook his head and said: "You have good intentions, but it's a pity... If he can behave as smoothly as a county governor, what can't be done?"
