Wangping County Government
County Magistrate Chen Ping paced back and forth in the main hall, frowning.
Li Dan, the chief clerk on the side, cursed in his heart, Sir, you just turn around ten or eight times, there is nothing you can do. Please stop turning him around. I can't think of anything except turning him around to make him dizzy.
Chen Ping went back and forth three times and three times, and in the end he only sighed, "Dan, do you think this official is going to be the last one?" After so many years of trembling, he might be in trouble this time. The situation this time is very bad. identical.
Li Dan was his bookboy, and the two of them studied together. Later, when he became an official, he got him a master book Dangdang.
"I don't know either."
"It's all Mr. Jun Yule's fault, so what can he do?" Chen Ping muttered.
"Sir, be careful!" In the previous battle, Master Le first relieved the crisis in Liaoyang, and then ambushed Houcheng and captured Tuoba Lian alive, who had returned to kill him, and thus prevented Houcheng from being attacked.
In these two battles, Mr. Le saved many people in Liaodong County, and the people were very grateful to him.
Chen Ping: If you don’t say it, don’t say it! He said go elsewhere!
"Dan, what kind of bad luck do you think that old guy Zheng Qiao got?"
Before, he was just a little envious when he heard that someone was willing to take over his position as county magistrate.
But at this critical moment, the successor came unexpectedly, allowing him to escape smoothly and escape from this place of right and wrong. Did this guy step in dog poop when he went out?
Don't ask him why he knew it so well. It was all because this guy took advantage of him, Wangping, and took his family and family to the west, saying that he was going to Jizhou to take office.
This made him envious.
Zheng Qiao ran away, justifiably ran away.
He can't run away. If he runs away, the crime will be serious.
Therefore, even if the area under his buttocks was extremely hot, he could not move away.
Alas, why is he not so lucky? Unlike Zheng Qiao, there is such an enemy who is willing to take over the position under his butt.
"Sir, there is an official letter from Hou Cheng."
Chen Ping stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it to me."
He wanted to see what advice the new Houcheng County Magistrate had.
When he first opened the official letter, Chen Ping was still careless, but when he saw the middle part, he couldn't help but jump up.
Li Dan looked over at him. What was written in the official letter that made him so excited?
"Dan, the new Houcheng County Magistrate actually said that there is a way to settle this dispute, and invited me to come over and discuss the plan together. Do you think I should go?" When asking this, Chen Ping handed over the official letter. Li Dan.
Li Dan read it at a glance and said, "Go ahead. Anyway, sir, you can't solve the problem at hand."
At the end of the letter, it was written that if you don't come, you will be responsible for it. If this is not made clear, if they don’t go, we won’t take them to play.
At this time, people from below came to report that Liu Heshan, the magistrate of Wulu County, was visiting.
Chen Ping naturally invited him.
Liu Heshan walked in with his eight-character steps. As soon as he came in, he asked directly, "Did you receive an official letter from Lu Desheng, the magistrate of Houcheng County?"
"Did you get it too?"
"going or not?"
"go!"
"Then let's go and have a look together. We don't dare to go to Liangshan without twos and threes. I heard that Lord Lu Desheng was very powerful when he was in Chang'an. Maybe he really has a way to solve this urgent need."
After making a decision, the two of them rushed to Houcheng without stopping.
In this compartment, Houcheng, where Le Guicai arrived first, looked even more tired than the previous two days when he arrived.
He has been so busy these days. If it weren't for the letter they sent, which was stamped with the seal of the Houcheng County Magistrate, he really wouldn't have had time to come.
When Lu Desheng heard that he had arrived first, he decided to go see him first instead of waiting for Chen Ping and Liu Heshan to arrive before discussing together.
He planned to defeat them one by one, and once Le Guicai was defeated, the next two would get twice the result with half the effort.
As soon as he saw Lu Desheng, Le Guicai looked him up and down and then went straight to the point, "Are you the new Houcheng County Magistrate?"
"Yes, I am Lu Desheng, who was originally the royal censor of the imperial court and is now the new magistrate of Houcheng County."
"You said in your letter that there is a way to resolve the current crisis and quell this dispute without bloodshed?"
"Yes."
"How to do it?"
"I plan to personally take the lead in negotiating with the Xianbei Royal Court, and I need to borrow Tuoba Lian from Lord Le. As long as the other party agrees to negotiate, I am confident that this matter will end here."
Le Guicai looked at him suspiciously, "You? Taking the lead?"
Lu Desheng puffed up his chest and said, "Yes, I will take the lead."
Le Guicai was silent for a while before saying, "With all due respect, as a county magistrate, how can you bypass the county governor or even the governor and lead negotiations? What qualifications do you have?"
"You know the virtues of the governor and the governor Zheng Xun. They will not care about the life and death of the people in Liaodong County. Therefore, I decided to take the lead and be responsible for negotiating with Xianbei."
Only then did Le Gui realize that what he said was true, "Are you really sure?"
"It's true! I'm willing to issue a military order." Lu Desheng said heartily, my daughter, my father has been greatly wronged this time.
Le Guicai was silent.
Lu Desheng regarded him as tacitly acquiescing to this cooperation, and asked with a smile, "Master Le, Tuobalian is still in your hands, right? In order to get Xianbei to agree to the negotiation, I need your help. I need to borrow Tuobalian." One use.”
"how?"
"Master Le, please escort him to Houcheng first, and leave the rest to me." Lu Desheng said, "In addition, Tuobalian must be protected and ensure that he is always in your hands and alive. , that’s fine.”
"Master Le, you have to believe me. My daughter-in-law, my daughter-in-law's family's fortune and our lives are tied to Houcheng. I will definitely work hard to do this well."
"Your daughter and son-in-law?"
"Qin family, Qin Sheng is my son-in-law!"
Le Gui suddenly realized that it was them.
"Master Le, we only need to borrow Tuoba Lian, and you don't need to do anything else."
"I believe that as the situation developed, you must have thought about returning Tuoba Lian. But you didn't do so because you knew in your heart that even if you returned Tuoba Lian, Xianbei would have to take revenge. , they will vent their anger on the land of Liaodong County."
"In that case, why don't you let me try?"
"Okay, I promise you!"
Lu Songli knew that by persuading the local general Le Guicai from this aspect, he would get satisfactory results.
Therefore, do not rush to kill everything. If the opponent loses hope, the opponent will fight back with all his strength, and he will not hesitate to fight to the death. Xianbei is just too domineering and murderous.
"Sir Le, I have also invited two other magistrates from Wangping and Wulu counties. Can you please wait? We will discuss it together later." Lu Desheng planned to use Le Guicai, who had already been persuaded.
Le Guicai nodded.
