Volume 1 Frontier Storm Chapter 100 Farewell
The news of Lu Jin's imminent departure spread throughout the city in a short period of time, and the people were both happy and a little sad about it.
The joy is naturally that Lord Lu has finally been promoted, and a good official like him naturally wants to be rewarded by the imperial court; As for the sad ones, they are worried that they will never meet a good official like Lu County Ling in the future, and it is rare to find an official like this who is not greedy for money, but can do something practical for the people.
In addition, most people in the county government have a feeling of relief about this. The pressure on them from Lu Jin's existence is really not small, because of his might, so that the people below dare not exploit the people at will. You must know that even characters like Xiao Mo and Zheng Fu have been taken down by him one by one, if the people below hit him, wouldn't there be only a dead end?
What's even more helpless is that now Lu Xianling still has a close relationship with the military camp, and they don't even have the courage to make small moves behind their backs, so they can only live a tight life, but they don't dare to make any bad moves.
I thought that such a day would have to last two or three years, but unexpectedly, Lu County Ling was about to be promoted because of his military exploits, and everyone naturally had a sense of relief. On the surface, they seemed to be happy about their boss's promotion, but in fact, they couldn't wait for Lu Zhen to leave immediately and not linger any longer.
Of course, Lu Jin, as a county magistrate, is not just a county magistrate, and he still needs to hand over a lot of things. In addition, there are also people who are not as common as everyone thinks, and this person is Lin Lie.
When Lu Zhen was busy dealing with the matter at hand in the signing room, the head catcher came to the door with a solemn expression: "Your Excellency, ......"
Lu Zhen glanced up at him, and said with some puzzlement: "Lin Lie, why do you look like this, is there something embarrassing?" β
"Exactly." Lin Lie walked in in response, glanced at Lu Zhen carefully, and then said, "The little one has something to ask the adult." β
"You say. You have done a lot for me, and I haven't repaid you yet, as long as I can do it, I will not let you down. Lu Zhen nodded hurriedly, still a little sorry in his heart, Lin Lie was the first person in the county government to become his confidant, and without him all the way, he would never have been able to get to where he is today, but because there were so many things, he actually ignored him until he came to the door today.
"You can do this, my lord!" Lin Lie said hurriedly, and then asked a little shyly: "What do adults think of me Lin Lie?" β
"Huh?" Lu Jinwei looked at the other party a few times with some puzzlement: "You are an upright person, and your martial arts are also quite good, especially your courage and loyalty are even more admirable, you are a good person." What, do you want me to get a career in the county government? β
"No, sir, you misunderstood." Lin Lie hurriedly shook his head and said, "The little one knows that his body has a disability, and it is impossible to take this road. The little one doesn't have the ability and heart to be an official, and I still have this self-knowledge. β
"And what do you want me to help you?" Lu Zhen asked.
After snorting for a while, Lin Lie said: "The little one just wants to follow the adult, and I hope the adult will not dislike it!" As he spoke, he stepped forward and landed on one knee, and then looked up at Lu Jin: "I want to leave this place with the adults, and I will go wherever the adults go!" β
Unexpectedly, the other party meant this, Lu Zhen was stunned again, and then laughed. To be honest, he really needs a loyal and reliable person to protect him, although this Lin Lie has some problems with his legs and feet, but his martial arts are very good, and he is loyal, he is the ideal candidate.
Moreover, Lu Zhen also believed that he would definitely be able to bring the other party a broader future than staying in Guangling, so after only thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said, "Actually, if you don't mention it, I also want to ask for your opinion." This is a long way to go to the capital, I really need someone who can be trusted to always be around, and now we coincide. β
"My lord, did you agree?" When Lin Lie heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Why should I not agree to have someone like you come to take refuge?" Lu Zhen smiled and nodded: "I think it shouldn't be difficult to transfer someone from the county office, so you can go on the road with me then." But...... Until I can decide what I will do in the future, your origins ...... So I have to suffer some grievances. β
Lin Lie smiled indifferently: "The little one only wants to follow because you are an adult, you want to follow for the country and the people, this has nothing to do with your identity and official position, you don't have to worry about it, adult." β
"Okay, Lin Lie, you are really a lover, but I have fallen into the clichΓ©." Lu Zhen laughed, walked over and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "But don't worry, I won't be able to treat you badly." β
Lin Lie just smiled lightly at this, and didn't say anything, he was a person of his words, as long as he could follow Lu Jin, who he approved, it was enough to make him happy.

Time passed quickly, and a few days later, it was time for Lu Zhen to leave Guangling and go to Datong.
Because I knew that I would not come back after leaving this time, I brought a lot of luggage, of course, most of this place belonged to Chu Yunrong's second daughter, after all, women have had more things than men since ancient times. And his is just some official documents, books, and a change of clothes. But just like that, the three of them also loaded two carriages.
When the gate of the county government was opened, and the high threshold was lifted aside by the officials, the carriage of Lu Jin's three people was slowly driven out by the two coachmen.
Seeing this, the people outside knelt down to the ground one after another, and the old man stepped forward and cried: "Lord Lu, please go slowly!" β
Raising the curtain of the car and seeing such a scene, Lu Zhen was really taken aback. I saw that on the way to the city gate on Yaqian Street, there were people standing in the city, and after a cursory sweep, there were no less than a thousand people lined up beside the road, kneeling on the ground with tears in their eyes.
Lu Jin hurriedly jumped out of the car, and helped the old man in front of him up: "Old man, please get up quickly, this official can't deserve such a big gift from you." And folks, please hurry up too......"
"Your Excellency, you are leaving my Guangling County, but everything you have done for our people is in our hearts, and we and other vulgar people have nothing to thank, but to send you away." The old man said, knelt down again, and kowtowed three times to Lu Jin.
Immediately, the surrounding people also knelt down in unison, and bowed to Lu Jin, which made Lu Jin a little unsure of what to do. With great difficulty, he helped the old man in front of him up again, and said modestly: "Don't be like this, this official is a county order, and he should protect the territory and the people, everything he does is just a duty, and he really doesn't deserve such a big gift from you!" β
Lu Zhen was really moved, and only then did he know how simple the people are today. It's only been a few months since they've been here, and they haven't done much, and they've already bowed down to themselves. In the past, when I read the description of the people when an official left office, I thought it was a bit exaggerated, but now it seems that this is the etiquette of today's era. Of course, this is also because the officials have indeed done a lot of good things for the people, so that the people can do these things spontaneously, otherwise when you leave office, let alone being given such a gift by the people, it is polite if people don't coax you.
And after listening to Lu Jin's words, the people were also full of emotion, crying and worshipping again, and many people shouted, hoping that Lord Lu would not abandon them. In this regard, Lu Zhen naturally refused at all times, he is also a person with great ambitions, so it is naturally impossible to be willing to be trapped in such a small Guangling County.
After a period of good talk, Lu Jin persuaded all the people to get up, and after saying a set of high-sounding and comforting words, Lu Jin was ready to board the car and continue to hurry. At this time, the old man turned around and ordered someone to fetch a colorful umbrella, and presented him to Lu Zhen with both hands with a solemn expression: "Since the adults must go, please accept a piece of my heart." This is the umbrella of the people made by the people of my county! β
The Wanmin umbrella is the highest reward spontaneously made by the people in recognition of his merits when the magistrate leaves the country, and it is also a hard indicator and symbol to consider an official's reputation in the local government. Lu Zhen had read a joke in a book before that an official built a Wanmin umbrella for himself in order to save face. However, the one in front of him was really spontaneously made by the people of Guangling.
This gift is very valuable, Lu Jinzi will not refuse, he hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand and took it gently. Then he held the umbrella and bowed to the people around him: "I must remember your love and care." This official will not fail this umbrella of the people, and he will continue to be a good official in the future, and do more practical things for the court and the people! β
When Lu Zhen returned to the car and walked forward slowly, there were cries among the people, and many people chased after the car, all the way forward.
This scene fell into the eyes of Chu Yunrong's two daughters, and they were also teary-eyed, both moved and honored, after all, Lu Zhen was the master of their family.
And when all this was seen by Liu Yong, the new general who was waiting at the city gate, he was also admired and surprised: "The Lu County Order really won the hearts of the people, and it is really admirable." With that, he stepped forward again and signed up to see him.
Although Lu Zhen felt strange, he still got out of the car again to greet the new general: "I don't know what Mr. Liu has to say?" β
"Liu Yong knows that Lu County ordered you to go to Datong, although this road is not too far, but this is not far from the grassland after all, I am afraid that there will be some danger. Therefore, Li Xian and ten other subordinates were specially ordered to escort you to Datong, and Wanglu County ordered not to resign. Liu Yong explained with a smile.
This is obviously because he knows that he has something to do with Hu Sui, so he is especially here to curry favor. In this regard, Lu Zhen was not too resistant, so he responded with a smile.
As a result, when the two carriages, which were originally relatively thin, left Guangling, they had become a convoy, with more than ten people accompanying them, and behind them were thousands of people who depended on other Guangling......
