Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

Recently, many strange faces have come to Houcheng.

According to the inspection and statistics of the route guidance of the people entering the city by the city gate guards, there are strangers who have come to Houcheng recently, everywhere.

Lu Songli knew that the vanguard of the first wave of people had arrived one after another.

Those people were not like Ji Wuyin, who had a clear goal and came all the way to Houcheng. At this time, it was already considered fast.

Lu Songli called Xu Zheng over and reminded him again, "Recently, there will be many foreigners coming to Houcheng, so you should arrange more people to patrol. If you encounter disputes between foreigners and locals, you must handle them carefully. If you encounter If it's about foreigners and you can't handle it well, you can go directly to Mr. Guo, Mr. Xue, or me."

Lu Songli is very optimistic about the group of people who came to Houcheng first. They are definitely not the kind of arrogant and unreasonable people. On the contrary, they want to restrain the local people. They can't be bullied just because they are foreigners.

Xu Zheng solemnly agreed.

Liaoxi County

Shi Tao, governor of Pingzhou, has been annoyed by Lu Desheng recently.

This guy slapped his forehead, thinking of it is a thought.He didn't want to wait for the majestic Sheriff's Mansion in Xiangping, so he insisted on relocating the Sheriff's Mansion in Houcheng, and even changed the county office directly into the Sheriff's Mansion for use.

When he knew this, he still sneered, let him do whatever he wants!

Unexpectedly, this fellow was so shameless that he took the emperor's decree to allow him to place the county guard's mansion in Houcheng, and ran to the governor's mansion of Liaoxi County to ask him for money?

Naturally, Shi Tao couldn't agree.

Lu Desheng directly used the decree to suppress him, saying that the emperor agreed with him to place the sheriff's mansion in Houcheng, which meant that he agreed with him to build a new sheriff's mansion in Houcheng. He, the governor of Pingzhou, should open the treasury to him. take money.

If he doesn't give it, he will sue the emperor, saying that he is not loyal and refuses to share his worries.

Shi Tao hated him for holding a chicken feather as an arrow.

But he had to worry, Lu Desheng used to be a censor, and his ability to advise was well-known in the court. If he participated in a book, he would have to peel off his skin if he didn't die.

In addition, this is the second year of the new emperor's accession to the throne.In the heart of the new emperor, he is estimated to be an ordinary governor, not a courtier of his Qianlong period, without the merits of a dragon, and now he is not in the heart of the emperor, or powerful enough to become the pillar of the country.

If Lu Desheng participated in a book, the black gauze hat on his head would probably be crumbling.

After thinking it over, Shi Tao decided not to take any more risks, and decided to give Lu Desheng some money, so he asked the housekeeper, "Where is Lu Desheng?"

Butler: ...

"What?" Shi Tao had a bad premonition.

"Lord Lu took a small bench and sat quietly outside the Governor's Mansion."

Shi Tao seemed to have heard some Arabian Nights, "What's wrong with him?" Want to act like a rascal to force debts?

The butler was also very speechless, anyway, Mr. Lu just meant the same thing, I want to move the house, give me money!

Shi Tao was so angry that he slapped the table, "Is he a rascal? He is a dignified governor of Liaodong, so shameless?" What do you think of him?

Lu Desheng: He is shameless and asks for money.

Finally Shi Tao took a deep breath, "Go, call him in." Don't be ashamed outside.

After Shi Tao called the man in, he planned to send him 3000 taels to send him away.

But in the end, he still gave more, 8000 taels.

After Lu Desheng saw Songkou give this number, his face darkened, and he knew that if he went further down, he might overturn the car, so he accepted it as soon as he saw it, and asked the big housekeeper to take him to get the money, and he wanted to go home.

Chief Steward of the Governor's Mansion: ...Do you want to be so easy to order people around?

Shi Tao took a deep breath, so as not to be mad at himself, "Take him to get it!"

In the end, Lu Desheng got 8000 taels of silver, and he wanted to exchange it for gold, but the accountant of the governor's government treasury firmly refused him.

Lu Desheng had no choice but to call his people in.

When he took the lead and left the governor's mansion with six people carrying the burden, the door slammed shut behind them.

"grown ups?"

"Nothing, let's go back first!"

Lu Desheng said in his heart, if you insisted on taking away most of the tax every time you collected it, leaving only a little scum for Liaodong County, why would I even ask you for the money to build a new mansion.

Now, he can justifiably ask for money, why doesn't he come?

Although they in Liaodong County have several sources of money, there are also many places where construction is started now, and there are a lot of expenses.In his niece's words, no matter how small a fly's leg is, it's still meat, don't let it go if you get it.

Liaodong County, Houcheng

After Zhan Ruoshui and his party entered the territory of Liaodong, they walked slowly along the spacious official road, admiring the customs and customs along the way.

I have to admit that the people they met had a good mental outlook, better than the people they met along the way.

Sometimes Master Zhan would get out of the carriage and chat with the farmers working on the side of the road for a while, asking them about their corvee work this year, how much food they have now, and so on.Without exception, these farmers highly respected their new county governor, Mr. Lu.

After arriving in Houcheng, Mr. Zhan asked his disciple to drive a carriage directly to the county guard's mansion to find Lu Mingzhi, a young disciple, without being polite at all.Even the two people he picked up on the way said they wanted to leave, but he dragged them along.

When Lu Songli heard that Zhan Ruoshui and his party had arrived, she was very happy, and ordered someone to go to the north of the city to call Lu Mingzhi back, and then came to the gate with her mother Jiang to welcome the guests.

Recently, Lu Mingzhi spends his time in the four-way courtyard in the north of the city, while Lu Zhiyuan goes there in the morning and comes back in the evening.

As soon as Mrs. Jiang saw someone, she immediately greeted them, "Master Zhan, all good nephews, please come in quickly. Mrs. Zhan, my master and Mingzhi are not in the mansion right now, so please don't blame us for not being able to meet them. We have sent someone to call Mingzhi , I guess he'll be back in a while."

Mrs. Zhan had seen Mrs. Jiang before, so he nodded slightly and led his disciples inside.

Mrs. Jiang asked the people below to serve tea and snacks to greet them, while she and Mrs. Zhan chatted one after another.

Not long after, Lu Mingzhi really came back very quickly.

After he came back, Lu Songli and Jiang Shi went out and gave them the flower hall so that they would not feel uncomfortable.
