The spring breeze brings happiness, the winter jasmine flowers have bloomed, and the spring thunder of February is beating.
On this day, under Lu Desheng's intentional guidance, the entire Hou City fell into a carnival, with laughter and laughter everywhere.
Shi Tao was no longer in a hurry. After the road was opened, he slowly headed towards Houcheng. He even sent someone to the Liaodong County Governor's Mansion to invite Zheng Xun to Houcheng.
When he approached Houcheng, Zheng Xun was already waiting there.
The two of them rode the carriage into Hou City together, followed by twenty or thirty solemn entourage.
They and their group are out of tune with the current atmosphere of Houcheng.
"Quickly, go inform the county magistrate that the governor Shi and the county governor Zheng are here." The young city gate general ordered the city gate guards.
"Yes!" The city gate guard ran towards the county government office.
The conversation between the two was quite loud, and two or three people nearby heard it. They were inexplicably worried and followed them spontaneously, praying in their hearts that nothing would happen to Mr. Lu.
These ordinary people followed the governor's motorcade. If they knew anyone, they couldn't help but ask. Several people didn't hide it, and expressed their worries and plans.
"Let's go and see together."
As soon as Lu Desheng came, he negotiated with Xianbei and won a three-year peace period for Liaodong County and Houcheng, and he immediately won the support of many people.
For a time, more and more people followed, and the team became stronger and stronger.
Jiang Changyun and others will naturally report this situation.
Shi Tao didn't say anything, but Zheng Xun said with a slightly sour tone, "I didn't expect that Lu Desheng would win the hearts of the people as soon as he came here."
When the two arrived at the Houcheng County Yamen, they saw Lu Desheng leading Chen Ping, Liu Heshan and other subordinate officials waiting for them, with Le Guicai standing beside them.
Xuan Tao: Very good, everything is done. These people are quite sensible.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty the Governor, and your Majesty the Sheriff!"
Shi Tao got off the carriage and walked straight to the county government office, "Everyone, come in!"
Zheng Xun glanced at them and quickly followed.
Lu Desheng gave way to Le Guicai, who nodded and went in first.
Lu Desheng followed closely behind without any hesitation.
Chen Ping and Liu Heshan looked at each other and saw the same message in each other's eyes. Sure enough, those who come are not good and those who are kind will not come.
As soon as Shi Tao sat down, he began to question his guilt, "Lu Desheng, do you know your guilt?"
Lu Desheng asked curiously, "Sir, what is the crime of being a low-ranking official?"
"You took the lead in forming a negotiating team to negotiate with the Xianbei Royal Court without authorization, without the consent of Zheng Xun, the governor of Liaodong County, and without the consent of me, the governor of Pingzhou. It is an act of overstepping your authority—"
Le Guicai stepped forward bravely and interceded for Lu Desheng, "Master Governor, although Master Lu has made some inappropriate mistakes in this negotiation, please consider that this negotiation has achieved significant results..."
"Wait a minute -" Lu Desheng interrupted him directly.
Originally, Lu Desheng wanted to hear Shi Tao finish and see what he could tell him about why he came, but he didn't expect Le Guicai, a military general, to answer so quickly!
He accepted Le Guicai's kindness to intercede on his behalf, but he couldn't admit guilt.
"The Governor, before I decided to negotiate, I sent people to send letters to the Governor and the Governor respectively. I explained the matter in the letter and invited the two adults to come to Houcheng to preside over the negotiations. Unfortunately, it was not until the two sides On the day when the negotiations officially started, both of you adults didn't come. I had no choice but to bite the bullet."
So, in summary, it was you who failed in your duties, not me who overstepped my authority.
Everyone understood what Lu Desheng said.
Le Guicai, Chen Ping, Liu Heshan and others looked at Lu Desheng in surprise. When had he sent someone to deliver a letter?
Guo Chunsheng lowered his head, looked at his nose and heart, and submitted his name to the new county magistrate. He was serious. He was the person who was sent by the county magistrate to deliver the letter. He helped arrange it.
As soon as Lu Desheng, the new county magistrate, arrived, he knew that he was a man of great courage. He was different from the original magistrate Zheng Qiao who had always wanted to escape from Houcheng...
Shi Tao and Zheng Xun's faces turned dark.
Shi Tao: "You said you would ask someone to deliver a message to me. Where is the person? I haven't seen him."
Zheng Xun said quickly, "I didn't see anyone either."
Lu Desheng: "It's impossible. I clearly sent two parties."
At this moment, a government official came to report the matter, "Sir, there is someone outside asking to see you, saying that he has something important to report to you."
Lu Desheng pretended to scold, "Why are you seeing me? Didn't you see that I am busy?"
The yamen servant was anxious, "Sir, that man said he was going to deliver a letter to the governor!"
Lu Desheng was 'surprised', "What? Please come in."
Shi Tao sneered, he wanted to see what tricks he was playing!
Not long after, the person was carried in by a few villagers. The man's left leg was wrapped in circles and circles of straps.
When Lu Desheng saw the person, he stood up in shock and shouted exaggeratedly, "Li Rong, how did you end up like this?"
Li Rong looked guilty, "Sir, Li Rong has lived up to his expectations."
"Don't be too busy apologizing. First, tell me what you did." Lu Desheng pointed to his leg.
"My subordinate went to Liaoxi County to deliver a message to the governor. On the way to Wangping, he encountered a landslide and was hit by sand and rocks. He fainted. When he woke up, he found that his leg was broken."
"Fortunately, I was lucky and was knocked unconscious on the side. If I were in the middle, I would have died on the spot. It was also lucky. I was later rescued by a fellow villager."
Several villagers who sent him in nodded after hearing this, proving that what he said was true.
Lu Desheng looked at Shi Tao with a troubled expression, "Master Governor, do you think this is happening?"
Someone encountered an accident and was pinned there unconscious, with a broken leg. In the end, he couldn't deliver the letter. I really can't blame him.
Shi Tao slapped the table and said, "Lu Desheng, do you think you can deceive the governor by just finding someone to act?"
"Sir, how could you accuse me of being an official so unjustly?" Lu Desheng had a look of humiliation on his face.
Before Shi Tao could get angry, his sleeve was pulled by his subordinates, "Lord Governor——"
Shi Tao looked at Jiang Changyun unkindly.
Jiang Changyun said in a low voice, "Sir, we have met this person before. Didn't we save a person before when we organized the villagers to clear official roads?"
When Shi Tao heard this, he looked at the man suddenly. After being reminded by him, Shi Tao also remembered. At this time, he happened to see several villagers who were hesitant to speak.
Another subordinate also said, "Yes, sir, I recognize the villagers who brought him in."
"Is this person the one you rescued before?"
Several villagers nodded like garlic, "Yes, yes, sir, this person is indeed the person we rescued before, sir, you were also present at the time."
"In this case, you can't blame County Magistrate Lu." Chen Ping and Liu Heshan talked in a low voice, and they looked pretty decent.
The two of them secretly thought, Mr. Lu, we can only help you so far.
Lu Desheng glanced at the two of them gratefully, feeling attentive.
He looked away and then said, "Master Governor, would you like to have someone carry Li Rong down first? Find a doctor to treat his leg."
Shi Tao was silent for a while, then waved his hand and granted his request.
After the villagers carried Li Rong down, Lu Desheng looked at Zheng Xun and said, "We also sent someone to send a letter of help to the Sheriff."
What? Zheng Xun is a smart guy, but he has something to do with it? "I didn't receive the letter."
"Isn't it?" Lu Desheng said exaggeratedly, "Did the person who sent you the letter also have an accident?"
"What's going on in Liaodong County? Are you trying to break up with me?" Lu Desheng muttered.
"Go and check!" Shi Tao ordered, "Let's see where the person Mr. Lu sent to deliver the message to the governor, Mr. Zheng, is? If he's alive, he wants to see the person, if he's dead, he wants to see the body!"
Just in time, he took advantage of this time to think about what to do next?
