When Zhang Razi's army was about to sweep the entire Susong to catch the bandits, King Ning rushed over sooner or later, and finally pressed the army in place, Zhang Rake did not dare to directly contradict King Ning's intentions, so he had to send people to fight the fire of the camp first, re-stationed, and secretly sent people to scatter to inquire about this group of 'bandits' who plundered the camp.

Who knows that this King Ning seems to care for Zhang Razi, and has been taking Zhang Rake with him these days, saying that since the bandits have been dispersed now, it cannot be said that he has completely failed to meet the requirements of the Holy Decree, and he King Ning will also say good things to the emperor for Zhang Razi, so that Zhang Rake does not have to worry too much, Zhang Rake believes it is true, and is happy to serve King Ning in every detail, and even the things that people like pouring foot washing water do He rushed to show it, but he didn't know, The folds of impeachment in the imperial court have been piled up like snowflakes on the dragon case of Emperor Zhengde.

Taking advantage of the days when Zhang Razi was entangled by King Ning, Lu Fei sent all the officials, on the one hand, to appease the people who were attacked by bandits scattered around the mountain, and on the other hand, in the name of the county government, he spread the news everywhere, telling those bandits, promising that the intention of recruiting peace would not change, as long as he was willing to stop all illegal acts of attacking the people now, he would still give them preferential treatment according to the previous conditions, and return them to freedom, but no bandits appeared in a few days, which Lu Fei had long expected, and Zhang Razi's army made this group of bandits completely chill, It is estimated that any promises made by Lu Fei, the county master, are insignificant in the eyes of the bandits, Zhang Razi's army is still stationed in Susong, and who can guarantee that there will be no more encirclement and suppression, I am afraid that now I can only find Ling Dan first and let her summon these bandits, but the most important thing is to squeeze Zhang Razi's army out of Susong.

These days, Lu Fei is busy with how to recruit and how to settle bandits after Zhao'an, and the details of these things are written by Master Li into excerpts one by one, and reported to the emperor, and in order to thoroughly explain the bandits in the mountains for hundreds of years, he also put forward his own suggestions to the emperor, that is, to take advantage of the unique conditions of the mountains to open a stone processing plant, and arrange all the bandits and idle people in the county to work in the mines, and the profits from the ore factories are directly held by all miners, and the government and individuals are not allowed to participate in it for any reasonThe imperial court only collects the due mining tax in it, which not only maintains the enthusiasm of the miners, but also plays a very good role in the stability of Susong, anyway, the mountain has been idle for hundreds of thousands of years, and it is definitely a waste of resources not to develop, and it is a real move to benefit the country and the people.

In the days of waiting for the imperial court's reply, Lu Fei asked Li Zhong to hide all the hundreds of thousands of taels of money and grain found from Zhang Razi's military camp in Jiangjia Fishing Village, which was a big windfall, and it would be a fool not to stay, but Li Zhong still couldn't show his face, and before Zhang Rake left, he was not safe, and he had to continue to stay in the fishing village.

After the battle of the mountain, Lu Fei, who left the bandits' stolen silver at the foot of the mountain that Zhang Rake had no time to transport away, also sent someone to retrieve it and stored it in the county office.

The days passed in Lu Fei's anxious waiting, and on the seventh day after the war, he finally received the news that King Ning secretly sent someone to send him, saying that the emperor had approved the dismissal of Zhang Razi's excerpt, and the Qin messenger who passed the decree and the Jinyiwei who escorted Zhang Rake back to Beijing to discuss the crime arrived in the next two days, accompanied by the will to allow Lu Zhixian to open an ore factory, and sent relevant technical officials from the Ministry of Industry to assist, not only that, but also the Ministry of Industry for this purpose also helped Susong County raise 50,000 taels of silver for the ore factory, which will be delivered soon.

Hearing such news, Lu Fei was surprised, and in addition to being surprised, he also secretly had a general understanding of King Ning's ability, even the generals who were fighting abroad could be replaced if he said that he could be replaced, maybe he also contributed to his application for mining this time, he had only heard Yun Niang say that King Ning's strength in the Tang Dynasty had been taught in person, but Lu Fei still didn't understand too much why King Ning treated him like this, where could a little county help King Ning, who was in power and opposition, But now Lu Fei has no time to take care of these, and there are more important things to do now.

Early this morning, Lu Fei got up early, it is reported that the person who passed the decree will be able to go to Susong today, he asked Zhao Bantou to lead people to clean the post house inside and out, and he can't neglect the errand, he himself is full of spirits, changed to a new official mansion, and ran out of the city with people for more than ten miles to greet the errand in person, the emperor is really interesting, and he can't help but express it.

The weather is exceptionally good, cloudless, breezy gusts, it's almost autumn time, Lu Fei's mood is as comfortable and refreshing as the blue sky, and he is sitting in the receiving pavilion with a smile waiting for the arrival of the errand.

Li Shun fanned behind him with a happy face, finally the rain has passed, and the sky is clear, these days he is not less frightened by the county master, he smiled and said, "Master, you look extraordinarily glamorous today."

Lu Fei smiled and raised his hand to take care of himself, "Really?" Haha, people are in good spirits when they are happy, and in the future, this Susong County will be our world, ah, haha"

Li Shun smiled together, then frowned slightly, and said as if worried, "Master, the fall of General Zhang has been rumored, he is only afraid that he has heard about it, why did he not react at all, this is unusual."

Lu Fei couldn't help but say, "Hehe, isn't there such a sentence, the father wants the son to die, the son has to die, the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, the emperor Lao Tzu wants to find trouble with him, and he still dares to resist?" You just put your heart in your stomach and follow me to enjoy the good days ahead."

Li Shun smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, what the master said, but he also had to prevent him from jumping off the wall in a hurry."

Lu Fei also nodded, "Well, it is better to prevent trouble before it burns, and it is not unreasonable for you to worry, listen, before Zhang Rake has no law, let the officials have more eyes, and no one is allowed to go to Jiangjia Fishing Village, you know?" ”

Li Shun smiled and nodded yes, at this time, he saw Big Eyes coming on horseback with a team of officials from the direction of the county seat, stopped outside the official pavilion, Big Eyes came to Lu Fei's side, took out a letter from his arms, and said that it was sent by the eldest lady.

Lu Fei motioned to Li Shunnian.

Li Shun hurriedly took the letter, glanced at it a few times, looked at it with joy, and pointed to the letter, "Master, the eldest lady cares about you a lot, you see, what this letter says coincides with what you were worried about just now, and she is also reminding you to bring more people with you when you go out of the county, in case Zhang Rake makes a move."

Lu Fei smiled and asked Big Eye, "What is the eldest lady doing now?" ”

Big Eyes said, "The eldest lady is watering the flowers in the garden with Miss Ling."

Ling Ning had already been picked up by Lu Fei from Wuliyi to the county office, and lived with Yun Niang, he was originally worried that these two women would be very uncomfortable living together, but he didn't expect that after a few days, it would be as good as sisters, inseparable, of course, the prerequisite for getting such a thing is that Lu Fei did not bring up his marriage with Ling Ning again, fortunately, Ling Ning no longer thinks about these children's love for the time being because of Sister Si's heart, and Yun Niang will not take the initiative to mention it, it is best that Ling Ning can forget about this matter completely.

Lu Fei waved his hand to let Big Eyes retreat, and Big Eyes beckoned all the officials to surround the official pavilion, and not even a bird wanted to fly in.

Lu Fei was very grateful when he saw this posture like a great enemy, and he didn't stop it.

Li Shun put up a pergola and looked at the road he came from for a while, and when he saw that there was no movement, he continued to fan Lu Fei with the wind, and when he was bored, he actually talked about Yun Niang, he smiled and said, "Master, this Ling girl lives in the county government, and the eldest lady has no objection at all?" ”

Lu Fei kept his waist and boasted, "Against? Why should she object, why does she dare to object, she doesn't dare to borrow her guts, who am I, master, it's not a matter of raising her hand to clean her up, besides, she is not as stingy as other women"

Li Shun smiled, "Not really, I heard Big Eyes say, yesterday you bought Ling Ning a few clothes and jewelry, and the eldest lady was very unhappy."

Lu Fei glanced at the big eyes standing outside the pavilion, "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense, he knows a fart, those clothes and jewelry were all picked by Yun Niang herself, I don't see where she is unhappy, besides, you see that she is not at ease when I just left the county office."

Li Shun said, "The eldest lady is so careful, and the priorities are clear, she has long seen that you have a good impression of Miss Ling Ning, but it is not good to intervene in person, and the eldest lady does not have much of a good impression of Miss Ling."

Lu Fei glanced at him, and said angrily, "Don't worry about salty radishes, didn't you hear that the two of them are watering the flowers in the garden now, they are as good as sisters."

Li Shun shook his head and smiled, "Master, this is all on the surface, I am a person from the past, and the jealousy of women is the strongest, once Miss Ling comes out of the clouds of her sister's loss, will she be able to tolerate another woman by your side?" Besides, the eldest lady, with her cleverness, how could she lose lightly......"

"Hey, hey, I said master, how can you say something cool, can you still hope for some good master, do you want them to fight?" Lu Fei interrupted him and said disdainfully.

Li Shun said again, "Hehe, master, I'm not playing with right and wrong, but these things will appear around you soon, you should have made plans early."

Lu Fei said proudly, "Cut, alarmist, the woman I fancy is one in a hundred, and her heart is not as small as you think, not to mention two, even ten or eight."

Li Shun waved his hand and said, "It's not difficult for a man to have three wives and four concubines, the difficult thing is how to deal with the relationship between them."

Lu Fei squinted at him, "Yo, so you can get two tables of mahjong at home."

Li Shun smiled embarrassedly, "I'm ashamed, I'm the only one in the next family."

Lu Fei laughed, "I don't know, I think you have a lot of experience."

Li Shun said, "This is human nature, any woman, including men, has selfish intentions, that is, you, master, I have never seen a man arrange two favorite women to live together."

Lu Fei was a little interested, "What, this arrangement is inappropriate?" ”

Li Shun said, "Of course it's not appropriate, for a long time, the relationship between them will slowly produce a gap because of you, master, and cause conflicts, but you won't be handed over to you because of sisterhood, even if you can accept her, isn't this also a contradiction for the future, quarrel in the master's backyard every once in a while, you don't want to see it, master."

Lu Fei nodded, there would indeed be such a hidden danger, so he said, "Then what will you do according to the Great Love Sage?" ”

Li Shun's face flushed, and he said, "Master, why don't you take a look at how those big families deal with these things, this is really experience."

"How did they do it?"

"Of course, it's separate, just like yesterday you added something to Miss Ling, then you can't miss the eldest lady, let alone let them have many opportunities to meet, it's best to be placed separately"

Lu Fei was very disappreciative when he heard this, and waved his hand and said, "Then, I am not allowed to look at anyone, master, why didn't I see it, you old boy has a lot of flowers, and even these things are clear, saying, are you hiding your wife in the golden house outside?"

Li Shun's face turned even redder, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, there is no such thing, sir, don't make fun of me, this is also boring, I want to relieve my boredom for my lord, if I don't listen, I can't do it, anyway, my wife is yours, you can settle it however you want."

Lu Fei smiled, "That's it, I'm going to break this rule, and I'm going to break a few more and squeeze together with them, hehe"

Li Shun stuck out his tongue and gave a thumbs up, "Master, you have courage!" ”

While the two were chatting about the gossip, a servant who had gone to inquire about the news was riding a horse and running back, shouting as he ran, "Master, here, here, here, on a mission"

Hearing this, Lu Fei hurriedly ran out of the pavilion to look, and sure enough, there was a burst of dust on the road, and several brightly colored sedan chairs were slowly coming.

"Hurry, hurry, get busy, the movement should be big" Lu Fei beckoned to the drum class that came with him.

Suddenly, the drum music was loud, which shook Lu Fei's eardrums, but he was still grinning, and led Li Shun to greet the comer.

'Boom! Boom! A few crisp gongs came from the front, Li Shun stopped and looked at it, his face was shocked, and he hurriedly grabbed Lu Fei, "Master, master, slow down, take a good look, who is there?" ”

Lu Fei took a closer look, and saw two rows of officials walking side by side in front of the sedan chair, holding the words 'Silence, Avoid' in their hands.

"Master, look at the regulations, this is the team of the prefect of Anqing, and it is your top head" Li Shun said anxiously.

Lu Fei didn't see the reason at all, and frowned and said, "He, why is he here, where is the messenger sent by Emperor Laozi?" ”

Li Shun was so anxious that he stomped his feet again and again, "Master, you don't care about the errand for now, there is a way that the current official is not the current manager, and it is important for you to greet the prefect."

For Wang Guangmei, the prefect of Anqing, Lu Fei has long heard of it, this person is the prefect of Anqing who rose from Susong Zhixian County, and it is rumored that his relationship with Zhao Junma is extraordinary, presumably this promoted prefect has the credit of Zhao Junma in it, so it seems that Wang Guangmei, the official, is not clear, and he is a bastard, not much different from the dead Wang Zhongren.

Shangxian is here, so you can't help but greet it, fortunately, the guys are ready-made, as long as the incense and candle table that greets the holy decree is removed, and when Lu Fei finishes dealing with it, the palanquin of the prefect's mansion has come to the front.

Lu Fei greeted him with a smile on his face, and Li Shun was also happy to have the opportunity to pat the prefect's ass, as soon as the sedan chair fell, he ran up to open the sedan curtain for the prefect.

"Su Songzhi County, Lu Fei greets the prefect," Lu Fei was extremely reluctant and had to kneel in front of the prefect's sedan chair.

The sedan chair was pressed forward, and a middle-aged man wearing a four-grade official uniform walked quickly towards Lu Fei with a smile on his face, "Oh, Lu Zhixian, why are you here, please get up, please get up, they all say that Lu Zhixian has a good way of governing the county, and things are like gods, and today I see that it is really worthy of its name, this official came suddenly this time, but he still couldn't hide Lu Zhixian's well-informed."

Lu Fei frowned, thinking, what's going on, why did this prefect wear such a big hat to himself when he met, what did he want to do?

This was also a mistake, Lu Fei didn't know that the prefect was coming today, since the prefect didn't see it, it happened to get off the donkey.

Lu Fei stood up and said, "Xiaguan heard the joyful birds jumping on the branches in the county government today, so he guessed that there must be a noble person coming today, in the eyes of Xiaguan, the prefect is the most important nobleman, as soon as he thought about it, he rushed over early, and finally let the lower official wait, Lord Prefect, you have worked hard all the way."

Wang Zhifu laughed, "Lu Zhixian, you are really good at talking, ah, haha"

Lu Fei pointed to the official pavilion behind him, "Lord Prefect, it's better to rest here for a while, drink a cup of herbal tea and then go to the county office."

Wang Guangmei stroked her beard, nodded and smiled, "Okay, this official is trying to ask Lu Zhixian a few questions."

The two came to the pavilion, and Li Shun hurriedly presented the sour plum soup prepared for the errand to the prefect Wang's mansion.

Lu Fei stood beside Wang Guangmei and arched his hand, "I don't know what the prefect wants to ask the lower official?" ”

Wang Guangmei pressed her hand and said to Lu Fei like an old friend, "Lu Zhixian, this official has never valued the courtesy between superiors and subordinates, you sit, sit down and say"

Lu Fei bowed his hand and sat down, "Lord Xie"

The weather was a little stuffy, Wang Guangmei drank a big bowl of sour plum soup in one go, and wiped her mouth when she was done, "Well, okay, Lu Zhixian, I heard that the business trip is coming to Susong County, you must entertain them well, don't stay slow, this is the person around the emperor"

It turned out that he also knew about this, Lu Fei smiled and said, "My lord, don't worry, the lower official knows, and when the upper errand arrives, the lower official will definitely do his duty."

Wang Guangmei hurriedly stood up when she heard this, and said with some disbelief, "What? People haven't arrived yet? ”

Lu Fei also stood up, he didn't understand what Wang Guangmei meant, "It's not here yet, what's wrong?" Adult"

Wang Guangmei turned her head sideways and muttered to herself, "It shouldn't be, it should have arrived yesterday."

Hearing this, Lu Fei was taken aback, and he suddenly remembered at this time, could it be that Zhang Rake was playing tricks on him, did he have the courage to kill the poor? Impossible!

Lu Fei also understood at this time, it turned out that Wang Guangmei was hard, in the autumn tiger weather when the dead were not worth their lives, and ran hundreds of miles to Susong in order to pat the sycophants of the Holy Decree Qincha, what kind of line is this, if you want to pat the sycophants, you have to wait for my county official to finish filming before it can be your turn, but the prefect Wang said that the Qincha should arrive yesterday, but now it is nowhere to be seen, this is not a trivial matter, take someone to send someone out of a hundred miles to find out immediately.

So, under the inspiration of the common purpose, Lu Fei and Wang Zhifu discussed in the official pavilion, and were about to send all the manpower out, but they didn't expect Zhao Bantou to rush over and sweat profusely.

"Master, master, hurry, go back to the county office" Zhao Bantou shouted before he got off the horse, and when he came down to see him, he found that Wang Guangmei, the prefect of Anqing, was also present, and hurriedly knelt down, "The little one sees the prefect, I don't know that the adult is here, and the small one is rude."

Wang Guangmei nodded slightly, full of official authority, "Well, get up" This is a typical example of seeing people put down dishes, and a small county government head is not in the eyes of his Wang Governor's Mansion.

Seeing that Zhao Bantou was so eager, Lu Fei hurriedly asked, "What's going on in the county?" ”

Zhao Bantou glanced at the prefect Wang's mansion, and he didn't want to say much, why can't it fall on someone else's head if there is something to welcome the emperor.

Lu Fei couldn't speak privately in front of the top Shangxian, so he said generously, "If you have something to say, just say it."

Zhao Bantou hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Master, Father-in-law Zhou and his entourage have already arrived at the county office, just waiting for you to go back and pass the decree."

"What!" Lu Fei and Wang Zhifei exclaimed in unison.

Before Zhao Bantou could explain in detail, Wang Guangmei had already turned around and ran to his sedan chair, her legs and feet were tied as if she was marrying a daughter-in-law, "Quick, get up the sedan chair, go to Susong County, hurry up, hurry up, raise you for nothing."

In a blink of an eye, the palanquin of the prefect's mansion had already run away a few feet away.

"Lu Zhixian, this official has something important to do, take the first step" Wang Guangmei poked her head out of the sedan chair and shouted.

"Oh good, Xia Guan will be there later," Lu Fei said.

Li Shun hurriedly ran over, "Master, you should also get up quickly, you can't let the prefect Wang steal the limelight."

Zhao Bantou also said, "That's right, sir, the prefect of the Wang Mansion came here to curry favor with the emperor, I know that there is a small road, and I can go to the county government half an hour earlier."

Lu Fei smiled, of course he understood the thoughts of the Wang Governor's Mansion, but when it came to patting the horses, this time Lord Wang might have to slap his buttocks, and he would go back to Anqing with a bad face.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, do you know what the mission is?" Lu Fei is not in a hurry now, he thought that Zhang Rake would hinder the errand on the way, but now that everyone has arrived at the county office, what is the hurry, he sat back in the pavilion leisurely, drinking sour plum soup unhurriedly.

Li Shun and Zhao Bantou glanced at each other, and Li Shun said, "Isn't the holy decree just for the bandits of the mountain?" ”

Zhao Bantou nodded in agreement, "That's right."

Lu Fei smiled slightly, "That's right, do you know what the Holy Decree means?" ”

"How do you know this, but seeing the master so calm and relaxed, it must be beneficial to the master" Li Shun said.
