Chapter 542 Since you're here, let's stay

After entering the palace, Lu Heng took the prince's hand and sat down together. ()

Then when I was about to pick up the tea and take a sip, I found that the officials were still standing straight in place.

"Sit down, everybody!" Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, then put down the teacup and said to the officials with a smile.

Unexpectedly, the words are finished. The officials remained unmoved, looked at each other, smiled awkwardly, and then stood still.

Lu Heng frowned, and couldn't help but think of what the people in the city had said about the name of the uncrowned king of Taiyuan Mansion when he was on the road.

It is said that after the rebellion of the King of Jin was suppressed, the imperial court sent officials into Taiyuan and began to manage the post-war city. However, after the king of Shu began to dominate in the court, he took advantage of the fact that Taiyuan Mansion was in ruins and was in urgent need of manpower, and installed his own manpower into the management of Taiyuan.

Recently, after the emperor fell ill, the king of Shu became increasingly famous in the court, and there seemed to be signs of developing into a regent. Therefore, these guys who kept a low profile at first jumped out one by one.

Among them, Yan Guohui, who has just been promoted to the prefect of Taiyuan, is particularly high-profile.

This person has no other merits in Taiyuan Mansion, but he has a set of money grabbing. In the past few months, the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes have more than doubled, so that when Lu Heng left, the thriving Taiyuan is now a boiling of public resentment.

However, this person is blind to these phenomena. Still going my own way. Expropriation and extortion.

Today, the king of Shu is the dominant family in the court. This person is even more educated, and in Taiyuan Mansion, it seems that there is Lao Tzu's first pomp.

When he came, Lu Heng heard about this person's heroic deeds.

Unexpectedly, this impatient guy turned out to be so blind.

When the prince came to Taiyuan Mansion, he didn't urinate. ，

What a stupid and bold thing!

Lu Heng looked at the local officials in front of him, who lowered their heads and were silent in their eyes, took a sip of tea, a cold light flashed in their eyes, and smiled coldly.

Beside him, the prince's expression was also very helpless.

After returning to Taiyuan, his life was not easy. I thought that I was also the crown prince, the prince of the empire. Unexpectedly, after coming to this Taiyuan, it was called that the heavens should not be, and the earth was not spiritual. Instead of anyone listening to him, he was monitored and followed when he went out shopping.

This prince is really a wretch!

After sighing in a low voice, the prince turned his head and glanced at Lu Heng secretly. Seeing a cold light flashing in the teacher's eyes, the prince suddenly turned happy.

After a while, Agui pushed away the soldiers blocking the door, and walked straight into the mansion with a fierce killing aura.

Behind him, a hundred bandits who came from Yunshan Qingfeng Village broke in murderously. Then he held the hilt of the sword in his hand and stood in various parts of the palace.

After Agui entered the room, he nodded slightly to Lu Heng, and then stood beside Lu Heng.

Lu Heng turned his head, glanced at A Gui, then smiled slightly, picked up the tea, and took a leisurely sip.

After two teas, the prefect of Yan Guohui, who was calling for wind and rain in Taiyuan City and was majestic, finally came late.

At the door, after a high singing. Everyone turned their heads, and saw that outside the mansion, Yan Guohui, the prefect of Yan Guohui, with a big belly, walked in with a swagger with the support of the employing people.

Entering the conference hall, Yan Guohui still looked like no one in his eyes, and he didn't look at Lu Heng who was sitting in the right seat and the prince next to him. Just laughed, like thunder, and those embarrassed officials, showing off a famous prostitute who had just been pampered in Rumenglou.

Between the words, foul language, and swear words in the market are endless. However, this fat man, who was not far from death, didn't seem to feel the monkey-like gaze of Lu Heng on the main seat.

Still laughing, patting a Qipinzhi county on the shoulder, warmly inviting each other, and going to Rumenglou to spend a good night together after the meeting.

The Qipin Zhixian had a cold sweat on his face, sneered, and let Yan Guohui pat his shoulder vigorously, his eyes were full of fear and helplessness.

Subconsciously, Zhixian turned his head and glanced at Lu Heng.

This Emperor Master has just come down from the battlefield on the Northern Front. Although the smile is like the legendary kindness, the solemn murderous aura unconsciously revealed makes people shudder.

Especially those incomparably clear eyes, as if they can see through people's hearts. The cold light that bursts out from time to time makes people dare not look at it.

This is also the reason why the dozens of officials in the room have not dared to speak loudly since they entered the door.

Lu Heng didn't expect this. It's just that after seeing the embarrassed expression of the magistrate, he smiled slightly, put down the teacup, raised his head to look at the embarrassed magistrate, smiled, and quipped: "Go, someone has a treat, eat and drink for nothing, and the fool won't go!" ”

Seeing that magistrate, he was trembling, lowered his head, and looked scared. Lu Heng sneered, then raised his head, stared at Yan Guohui, who was sitting on a chair on one side, and said, "Lord Yan, I don't know if Lu has this blessing, and he will also go to play?" ”

Yan Guohui took the teapot and blew on his mouth. After slowly putting down the precious purple sand teapot, he smashed his mouth, turned his head, looked at Lu Heng, and smiled, without any sense of awe: "Of course you can, since your lord wants to go, of course the lower officials are willing to invite!" ”

"I wonder how much it costs?" Lu Heng frowned, shook the tea cup in his hand, and his eyes were full of embarrassment.

This kind of appearance, in the eyes of everyone, is the appearance of shyness in the pocket.

"Hey!" Yan Guohui looked at Lu Heng, and after a flash of contempt flashed in his eyes, he had a smug smile on his face, and waved his hand with a big grin: "It's just a thousand taels of silver, and the lower officials can afford it!" ”

"Oh?" Lu Heng was suddenly curious and surprised: "Where is this Dream Tower, and what is the beauty of the period, it costs a thousand taels?" ”

"My lord, this is your loneliness!" Yan Guohui laughed, and sarcastically mocked Lu Heng with a gun and a stick between his words.

"This is like a dream house, which was founded by the Persians. I also greeted His Royal Highness the King of Shu and got a nod from His Majesty! Yan Guohui seemed to think of the exotic Qinglou woman in Rumenglou, licked his lips, and said with a lewd smile: "Inside, there are not only the beauties of Da Zhou, but more importantly, there are many blue-eyed and blonde Fanbang women." That taste, tsk, the absolute value of a thousand taels of flowers! ”

"Persians?" Lu Heng said in surprise: "I heard that a few years ago, the Persians also robbed a lot of goods of my Great Zhou caravan, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness the King of Shu to have such a means to allow these people to submit to my Great Zhou and serve my Great Zhou boys." Your Highness is really a good skill! ”

"Of course!" Yan Guohui laughed unscrupulously: "Your Highness's methods, how can we speculate?" ”

"That's just as well!" Lu Heng nodded with admiration, then thought about it, looked at Yan Guohui who was proud of the spring breeze, and asked with a smile: "I don't know, this is like a dream building, how many times has Lord Yan been there?" ”

"Go often, haha, go often!" Yan Guohui laughed, his big belly shaking.

"In this way, the adults can be regarded as spending a lot of money!" The look in Lu Heng's eyes gradually turned cold, he picked up the tea, glanced at him with slanted eyes, and asked with a sneer: "What a big deal!" ”。

"It's just 10,000 taels of silver!" Yan Guohui can be misjudged by the King of Shu, and he is naturally not a straw bag. He heard the dissatisfaction in Lu Heng's words. However, he is confident that he can control the situation, but he is still unscrupulous: "It's much better than some poor acid!" ”。

"Ten thousand taels of silver!" Lu Heng sneered, smashed his mouth, and after praising it, he raised his head and looked at Yan Guohui: "If Lu is not mistaken, the adult's annual income is only a thousand taels of silver." But I don't know, where did these ten thousand taels of silver come from? ”

"Yan naturally has a way to get rich, don't worry about the boss!" Yan Guohui turned his head, stared at Lu Heng, and said-for-tat.

"Of course Lu won't care, it's just ......" After Lu Heng squinted at him, he turned his head, looked at the prince beside him, and asked: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know what crime should be committed by officials of this dynasty who have accepted bribes of more than 10,000 taels, and what crime should be committed if they have fornicated with foreign enemies." Besides, contempt for imperial power and disrespect for officials, what crime should this be? What should I do if I am punished for three crimes? ”

After the words were asked, the officials broke out in a cold sweat, and a cold breath in their hearts went straight to their heads.

Looking at the emperor who still had a calm face, but spoke categorically and without any emotion, the officials were terrified and hurriedly lowered their heads.

The prince was also taken aback by the teacher's ruthlessness, if according to the crime mentioned by the teacher, not only the size of the Yan family was exterminated, but I was afraid that even the ancestors lying in the ancestral grave would not be able to be saved.

But......

After glancing at Yan Guohui, who had changed his face, the prince's anger in the past few days rushed up all of a sudden. He smiled coldly at Yan Guohui, and said to Lu Heng respectfully: "According to the law of the Great Zhou, the three crimes will be punished together, and the parties will be executed by Ling Chi, and the ten clans will be exterminated!" If you implicate the officials, you will exterminate the three tribes!! ”

The prince said unhurriedly, and then glanced at the other officials secretly. Seeing that the faces of those officials changed drastically, their bodies trembled like chaff.

The prince smiled, and then pleaded: "However, if the implicated officials are forced to be helpless, or if they have meritorious performance, they can be exempted from responsibility as appropriate." If there is a major meritorious service, it can also be awarded! ”

After hearing the prince's words of combining rigidity and softness, Lu Heng nodded slightly, and was quite satisfied with the prince's carrot stick method.

However, his face was still as cold as frost.

Groping his chin, he groaned for a moment. Turning his head, he looked at Yan Guohui, who had already stood up from the chair with a hideous face, and said with a slight smile: "Lord Yan, I heard it!" ”

"Humph!" Yan Guohui's face changed drastically, and after staring coldly at Lu Heng and the crown prince in the seat, he casually arched his hand and said, "Yan is in a bad mood today, and he is out of company!" ”

With that, Yan Guohui turned around and walked towards the door.

At this moment, Lu Heng put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Yan Guohui and said, "Since Lord Yan is here, let's stay!" ”
