"Drive! Drive!!"
In Yuzhou City, a luxurious carriage pulled by five snow-white horses with sharp eyebrows ran wildly through the streets.
"ah!!"
"Run!!"
"King Yu is leaving, everyone, run quickly!"
The people along the way screamed and ran in both directions, their faces full of horror.
Amidst the rumbling sound of horse hooves, the wind spirit energy gathered rapidly under the action of the formation, causing the surrounding air to flow strangely and rapidly in the direction of the carriage. In this tailwind, the already fast speed of the carriage was once again increased. Like a huge white wave, everything in front of it was blown away in an instant in the gradually forming hurricane.
"Ah! My legs!!"
Although a few unlucky people escaped the direct impact of the car, they were knocked away by a sudden burst of wind pressure and knocked down against the walls of nearby houses. When they fell, they had turned into bloody men.
Wherever the carriage passed, it was like a strong wind passing by, and the people around were like particles of dust, blown everywhere by the strong wind, and they were extremely embarrassed.
In front of this carriage that symbolized the authority of King Yu, the people were cut off and trampled like insignificant pieces of grass.
King Yu Jiang Yunping sat in the carriage, paying no attention to the exclamations and screams outside the carriage that he had become accustomed to.
They are just ordinary people without spiritual roots. If they die, they will die. It is no different from accidentally stepping on a few ants.
Anyway, he is not the only one in this world who behaves like this.
Who really cares about waste without spiritual roots?
Around the carriage, twenty-four masters in orange uniforms sat silently on their horses, their eyes constantly scanning the surroundings. While clearing the way for the carriage, they were alert to the surroundings and protected King Yu in the carriage.
And around the carriage, there were four figures dressed in Jinlin suits, with extremely strong spiritual power exuding around their bodies.
"Isn't it here yet?"
Jiang Yunping suddenly said impatiently.
The next second, a response came from outside: "In response to your words, Wang Jia is now moving at full speed. At the current speed, it will take at most half a quarter of an hour to reach the Yuzhou Yamen Office."
Jiang Yunping snorted, expressing his dissatisfaction, but said nothing more.
The extremely luxurious carriages were running wildly on the streets, but the people quickly avoided them skillfully.
When the carriage was far away, the people stood up in shock, and then looked in the direction in which the carriage was leaving. In addition to fear, their eyes also showed the resentment that had been poisoned for a long time.
"Is that the biggest stain in Emperor Xuan's life besides the powerful Demon Queen? Jiang Yunping, also known as the King of Tyranny, is the king?"
In the crowd, a handsome young man dressed as a scribe was holding a folding fan. After looking at the faces of the surrounding people with the corner of his eye, he stared at the leaving carriage, and a meaningful look gradually appeared in his eyes.
"The government turned a blind eye to such a cruel and cruel villain and allowed him to bully the people and trample on the people. I think Yuzhou must be full of dog officials who work for tigers and eat the people to get fat!"
Beside him, a young woman in red clothes with a long sword on her waist said angrily:
"Furthermore, the Dog Court did not notice the huge public dissatisfaction in Yuzhou. It is as if millions of people in Yuzhou were given to King Yu as slaves and servants. If such a Dog Court is not destroyed, how can the laws of heaven exist? ?”
Hearing this, the young man couldn't help but shook his head and said no.
After a while, he once again took a deep look at King Yu's carriage that had gone away, then turned around, took steps, and walked towards the outside of the city.
"Let's go, Hongyu, the Holy Duke didn't send us here to see how cruel the tyrant king is. It's time to get down to business."
The woman named Hongyu had no choice but to put away her angry gaze and followed the young master out of Yuzhou City.
And just when King Yu rushed to the Yuzhou Yamen Office.
In the government office, Zhao Ping and Cui Gu both looked at Lu Chen in shock, as if they had heard some fantastic news.
"My Lord Governor, what did you say just now? Are you going to send your bodyguards to Ping County and other places to temporarily serve as county magistrates?"
Lu Chen picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said calmly: "Well, you go and help them prepare official documents, official seals, spiritual patterns and other procedures."
When they heard this, the two of them were shocked.
"No, Lord Governor!"
They said with great eagerness: "Although the county magistrate is only a seventh-grade official, he is also an official of the imperial court. He must be a monk. Even if it is a temporary appointment, it will never be feasible! Otherwise, once this example is started, various places will follow the same example and mess up the rules. , it will definitely cause endless disasters!”
"Yes, Lord Governor, it's not because the subordinates look down on your bodyguards. In fact, not only do they have no fame, they don't even know the way of saints. How can a warrior serve the herdsmen of heaven? Throughout the dynasties, the fate of warriors has always been On the battlefield, is there any reason to sit high in a government office?"
Lu Chen had long expected that they would object, so naturally he would not be affected by their firm attitude.
"You guys seem to have misunderstood something."
He slowly put down the tea cup and said expressionlessly: "This governor is not discussing with you, but informing you."
After hearing this, the two people's expressions suddenly darkened.
"Since Your Majesty has appointed me as the Governor of the two states and entrusted all the military affairs of the two states to me, then all political affairs of the two states, including personnel appointments, will be decided by me. If you feel that the governor is not doing things properly, , you can submit a letter to Your Majesty, and this Governor will never stand in the way. If Your Majesty also feels that something is wrong, I will naturally act in accordance with His Majesty’s orders. However, until Your Majesty does not issue an order, I will have the final say on matters in Yuzhou!”
Such unreasonable words immediately angered Cui Gu.
He stood up straight, bowed his hands towards Lu Chen in a humble manner, and said, "The lower officials are indeed not qualified to stop the Governor-General's decision, but your actions are so absurd, Governor-General, you are not afraid of spreading the word and making the world laugh at you, even Is it not tolerated by the scholars?"
Lu Chen said with disdain: "If you don't dare to be the first for the world, why should you be an official?!"
Cui Gu wanted to say more, but Zhao Ping stood up and stopped him. After helping Cui Gu to smooth things over for a while, he cupped his hands and said to Lu Chen: "Did the Governor do this because he was short of manpower?"
After saying that, without waiting for Lu Chen's response, he continued: "If that's the case, I can recommend a few talented people to the Governor. I can guarantee that they are all virtuous and upright people. With their talents, for the time being, I am more than capable of acting as a county magistrate, and I will never be as incompetent as Luan Yu and his ilk."
"Ah…"
Regarding Zhao Ping's "kindness", Lu Chen snorted coldly.
"Is Luan Yu sentenced to death by this governor because of his incompetence? No! He was executed by this governor because he was too smart and forgot his duty!"
"this……"
Zhao Ping didn't know how to speak again for a moment.
"Fame? The way of sages?" Lu Chen asked again: "Don't Luan Yu have fame? Don't the magistrates of the other eighteen counties have fame? Don't they know the way of sages? But what's the result? Half of the magistrates of Yuzhou are He is eating the people to get rich and has no regard for their life and death! Is such a person worthy of being a herdsman on behalf of heaven?"
Hearing this, Cui Gu couldn't help but frown: "Mr. Governor, are you being a bit unreasonable? Daxia is a vast country with more than 100,000 miles across. There are black sheep everywhere, and I'm not the only one in Yuzhou, the world's monks More than 100,000, isn’t it normal to have some scum?”
Zhao Ping also followed up and said: "The Governor must not give up eating because of choking. This matter of civil administration must ultimately be left to knowledgeable people who are proficient in the ways of sages. This has been the case since ancient times. It is the most reasonable thing."
"So…"
Lu Chen turned his head and looked at Zhao Ping, raising the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a cold smile.
"Zhao Zhizhou, do you dare to use your official status, or even your wealth and life, to vouch for the people you recommend? Guarantee that they will never enrich themselves like scum like Luan Yu and other scum, and that they can be honest and upright during their term of office and serve the people wholeheartedly. , let the people there live a good life, live and work in peace and contentment, and completely eliminate the resentment of the people there?"
Faced with Lu Chen's question, Zhao Ping's expression suddenly froze, and then he hesitated of course.
Although he believed that the people he recommended would have no problems at first and their abilities were acceptable, he had to be upright and honest as Lu Chen said, serve the people wholeheartedly, and let the people there live a stable life. Today, there are some strong men who lock men.
And he has to use his own life and property as a guarantee...
How can this be? !
Who could be so stupid as to take such a big risk for someone else? !
No matter how confident he was in the person he introduced, he would never put the official status and status he had worked hard to obtain for half his life on the gambling table.
When he thought of this, Zhao Ping subconsciously wanted to refute Lu Chen.
After all, Zhao Ping recommended him to a serious monk, so even if he had some selfish motives, he could still be justified.
But Lu Chen wants a group of crooked warriors to serve as county magistrates. Such a ridiculous act can not only be called a treason and apostasy, and will be banned by scholars in the future, but also those who are illiterate and do not understand How could a warrior with sage principles have the ability to govern a place and benefit one area?
What's more, Lu Chen's requirements are so high.
If this is really something that even a monk cannot do, then what warrior can do it?
However, before he could speak, Lu Chen said coldly: "Don't you dare to vouch for the so-called talented people you recommend? But I dare!"
As he spoke, he stood up abruptly and said loudly: "I will stop talking today. During the period when Fang Yu and others acted as temporary county magistrates, whether they committed evil, corrupted the law, or harmed the people due to incompetence, all intentional Or for unintentional crimes, I am willing to bear the same guilt! And if they cannot benefit one party, I will ask to be dismissed from office and never enter the official position!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Cui Gu and Zhao Ping stared blankly at those words spoken in public, with shock on their faces.
This guy... is really willing to do this for those vulgar warriors... and just because of Luan Yu and others, he doesn't trust the talents recommended by them, and would rather trust the warriors than other monks!
What apostasy!
Separated by two walls, Fang Yu and other Xuanji guards who were about to take up their posts in various county offices were even more excited after hearing Lu Chen's words with their five senses enhanced by magic. An indescribable feeling came to my heart.
They wanted to say something, but when the words came to their lips, nothing came out, as if they were stuck in their throats.
In the end, they had no choice but to clench their fists and secretly make up their minds.
"Now that the Governor has made up his mind."
After a while, Cui Gu slowly spoke.
He glanced at Lu Chen as if he were looking at a hopeless idiot, and then said with a stiff face: "I am just following my orders. I just hope that the Governor will not regret it in the future. There are all kinds of panaceas in this world." It may exist, but the regret medicine is definitely not available."
Zhao Ping, on the other hand, sneered in his heart and didn't say a word.
This matter was settled under Lu Chen's tough attitude.
Since there is no room for twists and turns, Cui Gu and Zhao Ping are ready to leave and go through the relevant paperwork.
But at this moment——
Da da da da da! !
Suddenly there was a rapid sound of horse hooves outside.
Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a rather harsh neighing sound, a huge amount of spiritual power suddenly rose into the sky, and instantly turned into a powerful pressure, covering most of the government office.
Lu Chen felt his shoulders suddenly sink and his breathing stagnated slightly.
However, this discomfort only appeared for a moment, and Fu Hua beside Lu Chen suddenly stared.
"snort!"
With a cold snort, Lu Chen felt his body light up instantly, and everything around him returned to its original state.
Then the next second, a burst of uniform footsteps suddenly came from the next room. In just a moment, Fang Yu and other Xuanji guards appeared in front of Lu Chen, looking at the front door with great vigilance.
"This is…"
Cui Gu and Zhao Ping also looked out the door in confusion.
After a while, a shout suddenly sounded outside:
"His Royal Highness King Yu has arrived, why don't you greet him quickly?!"
Hearing this, Cui Gu and Zhao Ping's expressions froze at the same time.
coming!
The two of them looked at Lu Chen in unison.
However, they did not see the expected panic on Lu Chen's face at all. Instead, he looked calm and composed, as if the person coming from outside was not the real King of Yuzhou who came to trouble him, but an indifferent person. Important little people.
"Someone's coming."
Lu Chen said calmly: "Go and tell King Yu that the governor is busy with official duties and has no time to receive King Yu. If he has anything to do, he will come in and see me on his own. If nothing happens, ask him to go alone."
"yes!"
A Xuanji guard responded loudly, then turned around and walked quickly outside.
Not long after, Jiang Yunping, with a gloomy face, walked in aggressively, accompanied by a group of masters.
After entering, he ignored Cui Gu and Zhao Ping who saluted him, and looked directly at Lu Chen who was sitting on the main seat.
"Are you Lu Chen, the governor of the two states?"
The words were full of anger and there was no trace of politeness.
Lu Chen looked at him with an indifferent expression, bowed his hands to him expressionlessly, and then said straight to the point: "Why does Your Highness, King Yu, want to see me?"
My officer?
A flash of anger suddenly flashed in Jiang Yunping's eyes.
How dare this guy call himself an official in front of him?
You really think of yourself as a character!
Subconsciously I wanted to reprimand him.
However, Lu Chen seemed to inadvertently put his hand on the hilt of the Ji Dao sword at his waist.
Seeing this, Jiang Yunping's expression suddenly turned cold.
