Chapter 40: Refusal to enter Beijing

The group distributed all Zheng Daji's cash silver to the people, and the gold, silver and jade items were packed and transported back to Dujing to fill the treasury, and set off from Baozhou.

"Lord Shangguan, Qingguan!"

"Lord Shangguan has a safe journey!"

"Lord Shangguan, accept our heart!"

When going out of the city, the people of the whole city came to see them off, there was no lack of carrying their own vegetables and eggs, the roads in the city were blocked for a while, the people were gracious, Shangguan Yuling could not accept their things, Baozhou was in ruins, and the materials and food were already scarce, if he took some more, the people's lives would be even more miserable.

"Thank you for your kindness, the return journey is far away, and it is really inconvenient to bring more of these things, so I will only take this one egg, and cook the rest home for the children."

Shangguan Yinling stretched out his hand, took an egg from the basket, held it in the palm of his hand, and walked out of the city.

Lu Li also saw this kind of grand occasion for the first time, the people saw off the procession all over the road, they rode out a long way, and when they looked back, there was still a group of people behind them, waving to them reluctantly.

For the first time, Lu Li felt the significance of Shangguan Yinling to the people, and he also began to feel that it was worth it for him to work so hard and ask for his life for the people.

"This is an empty alley, I have been in Yingzhou for so many years, except for the big promotion of the grain store, I have never seen it at any other time." Duan Lang rode his horse and walked beside Lu Li, and couldn't help but sigh.

Or is it that their Shangguan lord's influence is huge.

The group went north along the road, rushed for a day, and finally rushed back to Yingzhou in the afternoon of the next day.

Lu Li went home and cleaned up a bedroom that had been vacant for a long time for the old man to live in, and the old man also knew that Duan Lang did not have the hemorrhoids they said, but he had already arrived in Yingzhou, and he couldn't live up to the kindness of Lu Li and a few people, so he simply lived in Lu Li's house.

Returning to his own territory, Lu Li relaxed a lot, rested at home for two days, and then returned to the mansion on duty.

The officials in the government and the brothers of the special case department gathered together, so it was not lively.

When Lu Li arrived, they were holding a holy decree and discussing something quite urgently.

"Lu Li, come on, there is a big matter to discuss with the master."

Seeing Lu Li from a distance, Duan Lang greeted her with a holy decree and pulled her to the table quite enthusiastically.

"Master, take a look at the holy decree that the Holy One has just issued." Duan Lang hurriedly unfolded the holy decree in front of Lu Li, Lu Li looked down and looked at it roughly, which basically means that the Holy Shang has newly established a Taixue class, and Lu Li Duan Lang is specially allowed to enter Taixue to study and become students of Taixue.

Duan Lang was tired of tossing in Yingzhou, and he had a strong yearning for the bustling and prosperous capital, and he also had some ambitions in his heart, and he was unwilling to stay only in the position of the prefect of a state, so he was naturally fascinated.

Lu Li pursed his lips, and there was no joy on his face.

"I don't want to go."

Lu Li shook his head slightly, and sat down at the table, Duan Lang's expression was stunned, and he asked in disbelief.

"You say it again?"

"I don't want to go." Lu Li repeated, "Give up my place to someone else." ”

She is a carefree character, and being able to sit in this mansion is just to earn silver taels, but if she is allowed to go to Beijing, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, everyone is deeply thoughtful, and she doesn't know what she says wrongly will kill herself, she is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, or she doesn't play with these people in the city.

The most important thing is that her hometown is in Yingzhou, although there should be very few surviving relatives in her family now, but she also wants to find her family to reunite, if she leaves and goes to the capital thousands of miles away, the hope of reuniting with her family will become more and more slim.

"Think about it, Dujing is such a prosperous and rich place, where as long as you and I use our fists and feet, we will definitely be able to make a lot of money, if you have a small success in Taixue and get the favor of the saint, then you and I will soar."

Duan Lang was reluctant to part with his best partner, and tried his best to persuade Lu Li, "There is also Liang Song, he is also very yearning for Dujing, and he has already agreed to join us, he is still young, if you are not by your side to take care of it, what should you do if you are bullied by the gentlemen in Dujing?" ”

"If the master doesn't go, then I won't go either." Liang Song threw himself into the enemy camp at a critical moment and defected to Duan Lang in an instant.

Duan Lang's heart was strained, and he almost knocked on Liang Song's head with a brain melon.

Why doesn't this kid know how to act when he sees the opportunity, he only knows how to follow Lu Li's ass and has no manhood at all.

"In this case, I will give up the position of Liang Song and other colleagues in the government, and bid farewell to Lord Duan from now on, the mountains and rivers are far away, and I hope to cherish it." When Lu Li got up, he really took two steps back, said goodbye to Duan Lang, and then turned around and went out.

"This girl is not your average dead eye." The excitement of being able to enter Beijing was dispelled in an instant at this moment, Duan Lang sat on the bench, grabbed Liang Song's shoulders beside him, sighed slightly, and turned his head to catch a glimpse of Shangguan Yuling standing in the backyard.

He should have heard them all.

Shangguan Yinling stopped for a moment, then turned around and left, and only Duan Lang and Liang Song were in a daze in the huge front hall.

At night, the night was slightly cool, and the brothers on the errand were on duty one after another, Duan Lang was quite irritable and scribbled on the paper with a brush, and when he realized that it was time to go down, the sky outside the window was already dark.

He packed up and was about to leave duty, but Shangguan Yinling paced past the door.

"Lord Duan, I'm going to the restaurant for a drink, are you interested in going together?"

Lord Shangguan took the initiative to invite, it was a rare miracle in a hundred years, Duan Lang naturally happily went, the two sat down in the private room on the second floor of the first restaurant in Yingzhou, Duan Lang ordered a few signature dishes, and then ordered a pot of wine, the two of them drank a glass of wine, after a few glasses of wine, Duan Lang, who was still a little restrained, also let go.

"My lord, don't you know, since I became the prefect, I have been working with Lu Li's partner for now, and now I am about to separate, which is quite unpleasant in my heart." Duan Lang said, poured a full glass of wine, and raised his head to drink it dry.

"If Lord Duan really doesn't want to be separated from Lu Li, why don't you think of a way to make Lu Li change his mind and enter Beijing together?" Shangguan Yinling held the wine glass in his hand, his cheeks were slightly flushed by the wine, and his eyes were still clear.

"Although Lu Li, this girl seems to be a fool, she is actually very stubborn, and it may be difficult to change what she decides." Duan Lang shook his head wistfully, and raised his head for another glass.

"I have a plan, maybe I can try." Shangguan Yinling put down the wine glass as he spoke, and took down the wine glass in Duan Lang's hand by the way, "Lord Zheng, listen well, don't be confused, I'll only say it once." ”
