"Zhu Kuan is dead?!"

The people began to talk to each other, at first still skeptical, but gradually the tone changed from doubt to excitement, and from excitement to gnashing of teeth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Gradually, people began to move towards Zhu Kuan's corpse, and I don't know who was the first to do it, and people erupted to vent their accumulated anger on a lifeless body.

Lu Qiu, who was on the high ground on the side, looked at Xu Ji and bowed to him slightly, "Congratulations, Lord Xu, you can inherit your father's business again and become the lord of this Lingzhou again." ”

Xu Ji didn't dare to snub Lu Qiu at all, and replied, "I have to thank Lord Lu for saving me in time, otherwise I might have been poisoned by this traitor today." ”

"Lord Xu's words are wrong, it is the emperor who saved you, if you want to miss the emperor, you still have to thank the emperor." After Lu Qiu finished speaking, he lied that there was something important to do and turned around and left.

Xu Ji first pacified the people in Lingzhou City, and then contacted his father Xu Qian's old subordinates.

As soon as Zhu Kuan died, there were no leaders in Lingzhou City, so officials of all sizes were also happy to put Xu Ji back on the throne of the Lord of Lingzhou.

After Xu Ji returned to power, he focused his work on restoring the peace and contentment of the people of Lingzhou.

He returned the land previously occupied by Zhu Kuan and his subordinates to its original owners, and then publicly executed the minions who had previously worked for the tiger by Zhu Kuan's side.

After that, Xu Ji promulgated many policies and policies for the people to recuperate, and a month later, Xu Ji personally went to the market in Lingzhou to observe the living conditions of the people.

As a result, the people of Lingzhou were all grateful to Xu Ji, and thanks to him, the people's lives were back on track.

Xu Ji sat on the throne of his Lingzhou City Lord, looking at his achievements, he couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

It's a pity that his career as a city lord has just begun, and he is about to come to an end.

Lu Qiu came to the main hall of Lingzhou City Mansion, "The holy decree has arrived, and Xu Ji has taken the decree." ”

Xu Ji stepped forward and knelt in front of Lu Qiu.

"I heard that after Zhu Kuan's death, Xu Ji, as the son of the former Taishou, inherited the position of Taishou. Since taking office, I am very pleased to be sympathetic to the people and generous in their governance.

According to this, I specially appointed Xu Ji as the new Taishou of Lingzhou City, and gave the third-class knighthood seal of the lord of Lingzhou City. ”

Although Xu Ji has always regarded himself as the rightful city lord of Lingzhou City, he is still very happy to be officially appointed by the emperor now.

Not only the official position, but even the title was inherited, and Xu Ji felt that he could finally face his father's spirit in the sky.

"Minister Xu Ji Xie Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

When Xu Ji got up, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and his face was revealed.

"Congratulations, Lord Xu." Lu Qiu said to Xu Ji with a smile, but that smile seemed to contain some imperceptible deep meaning.

"Thank you, Lord Lu, last time you left in a hurry, this time, please take a break in Lingzhou, I will also do my best to prepare a thin wine with the friendship of the landlord, it is not a respect, Lord Lu must not dislike it."

Lu Qiu said, "Don't be in a hurry to drink the wine first, when you go to the Jingshi Wangcheng to thank you and come back, Lu is willing to accompany you, and then we will drink for three days without getting drunk and not returning." ”

"Shane?" Xu Jimeng was stunned for a moment, blurted out unconsciously, and then realized that he had missed his mouth, so he restrained the conversation in time.

"Oh, that's the case, all the lords of a city who are officially appointed by the Holy Lord today must go to the Jingshi King City to meet the Holy Lord to thank him."

"But I remember that the imperial court didn't have this rule before? When my father officially took office, he did not go to the royal city to meet St. Shane. ”

The smile on Lu Qiu's face was completely gone, and his brows furrowed slightly,

This is the decree that has just been issued by the Holy Majesty today. Why, Lord Xu, the Holy Lord can perceive the feelings and make good use of people, and give you the official position and title of Lingzhou Taishou, and now you just want to run an errand to meet Saint Shaneen, don't you want to? ”

When Xu Ji heard this, he suddenly fell into an ice cave, and cold sweat soaked all over his forehead.

"No, Lord Lu, Xia Guan would never dare to be so bold.

The grace appointed by the Holy Lord, the subordinate officials, should naturally go to the royal city to face the Holy Thanks.

It's just that now there are all kinds of waste in Lingzhou City, and there are still many urgent things to deal with that are closely related to the people's living and working in peace and contentment, and the lower officials really can't leave for a while.

Can you ask Lord Lu to ask the Holy Lord, delay it for a while, and wait for the lower officials to deal with some of the most urgent affairs, and then go to the royal city when the star master will thank the emperor. ”

After Xu Ji finished speaking, he looked up and saw that Lu Qiu's face was still as cold as autumn frost, so he leaned forward a little and said,

"If Lord Lu can say a few kind words in front of the saint, it will be a relief for the lower officials, and the lower officials will definitely thank Lord Lu again."

Lu Qiu raised his eyebrows, "Excuse me, even the emperor's kindness Lord Xu can't see it, so why worry about Lord Xu here."

You don't need to use anything urgent as a pretense, you go to thank you naturally someone else for you to temporarily replace the lord of Lingzhou, and everything can be properly handled.

After all, Lingzhou is the Lingzhou of today's saints, and Lord Xu will leave for a while, I'm afraid that the sky won't fall. ”

In just a few words, Xu Ji was already a little trembling, Lu Qiu ignored it at all, and continued,

"Lord Xu didn't need to say anything about delaying the day, and then rushed to the royal city to face the saint thanksgiving in the starry night.

If you deliberately delay the will of the saint like you, I am afraid that when the time comes, it will not be to thank the saint in the royal city, and it is almost the same to ask for sin.

Lord Xu, you should think carefully about what to do. ”

After all, Xu Ji was also a little tough, and he didn't flinch when he faced Zhu Kuan's sword soldiers in the city that day.

What's more, now that his position as the city lord is not yet hot, he has to let him leave Lingzhou, and then think about the efforts he has made to become the city lord and even almost have to pay the price of his life, Xu Ji straightened up a little in front of Lu Qiu.

"Lord Lu, although there is a decree in the saint, but the ancestor customized, the lord of a city must take the interests of the city as the first consideration, as if he will not accept the order of the monarch outside, so-"

"Lord Xu," Lu Qiu interrupted Xu Ji without waiting for him to finish, "Who shot the cold arrow in Zhu Kuan's back that day, has Lord Xu found out?" This man has merit, and he should be greatly rewarded. Lu Qiu said faintly.

When Xu Ji heard this, he was like a thunderbolt and five thunderbolts on a sunny day, and he was immediately deflated.

What does Lu Qiu mean by this?

On the surface, he was asking if he had found the person who shot the cold arrow, but in fact, Lu Qiu was hinting at Xu Ji.

Zhu Kuan also disobeyed the emperor's order that day, so a cold arrow shot through his head.

Then today, you, Xu Ji, will also disobey the emperor's order, and the person who shot the cold arrow has not yet found out who it is, so this cold arrow that pierced Zhu Kuan's head may shoot at your Xu Ji's head at any time.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji felt that he vaguely saw the emperor's true intentions, the holy decree he received today was not fundamentally different from the holy decree led by Zhu Kuan that day, and the emperor's purpose was not to give the position of the lord of Lingzhou to any of them.

The emperor has only one purpose - that is, to master this Lingzhou city with outstanding people.

"Exactly." Chen Xi, who was thousands of miles away, smiled proudly.

How did he hear the words in Xu Ji's heart far away in Lingzhou?

Does it matter?
