Pingzhou, the capital of the county.

"Master Li, what's going on?" Liu Feng sat directly above, gently blew the tea in the cup, and asked without raising his head.

Below him sat two middle-aged men, one was his dog-headed military advisor Zhang Tao, and the other was Li Cheng, the county leader of Biancheng County.

When Li Cheng heard this, he hurriedly sat up straight, and replied respectfully: "If you go back to the county head, everything is as expected by the lord, and the lower official also made a suggestion to Lu Chen according to the meaning of the county head. ”

Liu Feng paused to drink tea and asked, "Then what did he say?" ”

He hesitated and agreed. Li Cheng returned truthfully, and even the details were reported to Liu Feng clearly. In front of Liu Feng, he was much more restrained than in front of Lu Chen, and he also showed much more groveling.

"Hehe, Lu Chen really has the intention of recruiting troops......

Liu Feng put down the teacup, a chuckle like a conspiracy appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he glanced at Li Cheng and said: "This time, thanks to Lord Li's help, if it weren't for Lord Li's advice, Lu Chen wouldn't have thought of me here, haha, Lord Li, don't worry, after this matter is completed, the post of county guard in Border City County is none other than you, Lord Li." ”

"Oops! The county head has tormented the lower officials, the adults are wise and martial, although they are not in the border city, but everything is under your control, Lu Chen is a small county official, how can he fight with you, this time it must be a place to die without a burial, if the lower official is promoted by the county head and becomes the county guard of the border city, then from now on, it must be the only one who is the head of the horse. Li Cheng hurriedly patted his ass and said.

"Haha-Master Li is too polite, everyone is their own people!" Liu Feng looked up and smiled, seemingly satisfied with Li Cheng's attitude. The subordinate county officials he wants are exactly what Li Cheng wants, not Lu Chen, which he can't control. It doesn't matter if you do something or not, it doesn't matter if you are for the people, and it doesn't matter if you are greedy or not, the key is to go along with him.

"Yes, yes, it is the honor of the lower official to serve the county head......" Li Chengcheng flattered with fear.

After all, the county head is a big official, in Li Cheng's eyes, that is the supreme existence, in Pingyang County, which is far away here, strictly speaking, the county head is more important in his heart than the Wind King, because the county head is the person who can most directly control his life and death, or let him ascend to the sky in one step.

The two of them were talking there, but Zhang Tao, who had been silent, suddenly shook his head and said, "I'm afraid things are not as simple as we thought." ”

Hearing this, Li Cheng and Liu Feng were both in the same place, and the latter took the lead in asking, "What does Mr. Zhang mean by this?" ”

Li Cheng also followed up and asked: "Yes, Mr. Zhang, Lu Chen wants to expand the army, and asks the county head to get in touch with the royal court through the county government's carrier pigeon, so that the county head can say that the royal court has agreed to the border city to expand the army, as long as Lu Chen's recruitment of soldiers exceeds 30,000, the lord can write to the court and impeach Lu Chen for privately recruiting soldiers, there is a suspicion of supporting the army and plotting to rebel, and the time will ......."

Before he finished his words, Zhang Tao waved his hand and interrupted him: "What you mean, I understand, but Lu Chen, I'm afraid it's not that simple, I'm afraid that if he asks the lord for the king's edict at that time, what should we do, we can't be bold enough to fake the king's instructions, right?" ”

When Li Cheng heard this, he was so frightened that he shrunk his neck and stopped talking, while Liu Feng secretly swallowed his saliva.

Fake the Wind King's Edict? It's too scary to say this, it's not just a simple matter of cutting off your head, it's a big sin to split the car and merge the nine clans! It's also a shame that Zhang Tao dares to say it!

Even Liu Feng, the head of the county, pondered for a long time before he said: "What Mr. Zhang said is not unreasonable, but from the perspective of Lu Chen's personality, this is really hard to say." ”

"That'...... What should we do, do we really show Lu Chen to the imperial court and ask for the expansion of the army? Li Cheng asked nervously, what he was nervous about was not whether to expand the army, but whether he could be the guard of the border city and county.

Zhang Tao rolled his eyes, habitually stroked the two pinches of mustache on his lips, and touched it for a while before he looked at Li Cheng and said, "Master Li, if you want to succeed in this matter, you have to maneuver around it again, you ............ like this."

After Zhang Tao finished speaking, Li Cheng frowned, and couldn't help asking, "Zhang ...... Mr. Zhang, this ...... Will this work? ”

Without waiting for Zhang Tao to answer, Liu Feng, who had listened to Zhang Tao's strategy, couldn't help laughing and said, "Hey? Don't worry! The official thinks that Mr. Zhang's plan is very good, and Master Li just needs to do what Mr. Zhang wants, and then the official will confirm Lu Chen's crime! And Lord Li, not only will you not be in any danger, but you will also have one more reward for 'not being afraid of power' and 'reporting justice to the official'! In this way, it is more logical for Lord Li to sit in the position of the county guard of the border city, isn't it? ”

Yo! Li Cheng's heart moved, Zhang Tao's plan was actually good, but it was relatively life-threatening for him, so he hesitated. And now that Liu Feng is the head of the county, since he has already guaranteed it, he no longer hesitated, and hurriedly said: "Oops! In this way, the lower officials will be relieved, and they will definitely not disappoint the entrustment of the county head and Mr. Zhang! ”

"Good!" Liu Feng said two words in a row, and a wicked smile appeared on his round fat face, sewing his small eyes into a line.

"Now that the matter has been negotiated, then Lord Li will rest in the county capital for the next two days, and then it will be better to go back to the border city to 'give an errand' to Lu Chen!" Liu Feng was in a good mood, put down the teacup, and shouted out the door: "Someone! Call all the kataka in the mansion up, today, the official is going to get drunk with Lord Li and rest! ”

"Oh, the county head is so polite, how can the lower officials be embarrassed to ...... such kindness," Li Cheng said hypocritically politely.

"Huh? Lord Li doesn't have to be restrained, here in this official, it's like going to Lord Li's own house, just enjoy yourself! ”

Under Liu Feng's orders, soon, more than a dozen singers who were in charge of serving Liu Feng to entertain guests on weekdays walked in with small steps, and a maid in the house put a banquet for the three of them.

These kabukis, all in their twenties, slender figures, beautiful as flowers, dressed in bewitching clothes, wearing half-concealed tulle, Li Cheng secretly swallowed saliva, thinking that he had seen so many beauties gathered together in the bitter cold land of Border City, Song and Yan Dance, and his eyes were straight for a while.

Seeing this, Liu Feng's small eyes with thief eyebrows narrowed tighter.

This is his usual trick to entertain subordinate officials, and he likes Li Cheng, a 'good official' who has the same preferences as him!
