After Gao Ling made a statement, other officials who were attached to the Lu family also followed suit and seconded the proposal.

Liu Jing waited for everyone to finish their opinions, and then looked at everyone present with an embarrassed face, and said:

"The kings have their own opinions, and the officials can't make up their minds. As...... Today's power is gone, and after the official thinks deeply, I will give you another answer, how about it? ”

When the officials present saw Liu An say this, they did not continue to entangle and dispersed one after another.

After there were no outsiders in the guest hall, Liu An instructed his own soldiers: "Quickly investigate the details of the few people who intercede for Chang Jue!" ”

The soldiers left in response, and Liu An said to Jia Xu again: "Sir, what should I do next?" ”

"Collect evidence of the crimes of five people, including Chang Feng, and arrest them and send them to prison!" Jia Xu paused for a moment, and continued to say in a calm and unwavering tone: "Those who are not guilty or who are not guilty of being imprisoned...... It's going to take a lot of thought from Lao Ming. ”

As he spoke, Jia Xu looked at Liu An with a smile.

Liu An pondered for a moment, and then realized what was in his eyes when he looked at Jia Xu who was not smiling.

If there is no crime or the crime is insufficient to be sent to prison, it is necessary to fabricate the charge for him, and he must also have all the stolen goods, both human and material evidence.

It doesn't matter if that person hasn't had time to commit a crime, or if he has committed a crime but has not been caught, or if he is a really honest and honest official, as long as he is on Chang Feng's side, he is Liu An's enemy.

It is the stumbling block for him to control Zhuoxian!

This kind of person, even if he is really a good official for the benefit of the people, must be eliminated!

Liu An understood what Jia Xu meant, and he knew that if he wanted to become the one who had the last laugh in this troubled world, he would have to face those helpless choices sooner or later.

He also knew that a woman's kindness would not be able to accomplish great things in the end.

But deep down in his heart, he still faintly rejects such an unscrupulous behavior to achieve the goal.

One year after coming to the Eastern Han Dynasty, the time is not short, but it is by no means long.

Although he has had half a year of officialdom career, while the people of Bingzhou are fierce, they are also much simpler than the Central Plains.

Suddenly, for his own interests, he will harm innocent people against his will, and even that person may be a good person for the benefit of the people, which he can't accept for a while.

Xu saw Liu An's entanglement, Jia Xu changed his words, and said: "If you know that Ming Gong is thirsty for talent, if you encounter a talent that can be created, take it for your own use, and it should be a great good!" ”

When Liu An heard this, his frowning brows were smoothed.

Jia Xu also smiled when he saw Liu An's face, but he still reminded cautiously: "But if you can't take it for your own use, I hope Ming Gong will remember it...... The truth that weeds need to be eradicated. ”

Liu An also knew that Jia Xu was right, sighed helplessly, and promised: "Alas! I have understood what the gentleman means, and I will not leave a curse. ”

Seeing this, Jia Xu nodded reassuringly.

Then Liu An walked out of the inner hall and instructed what Jia Xu said.

It takes time to collect criminal evidence, and Liu An only said to the officials before that it would take time to think about it, but did not say how long it would take, and this time could be used to collect criminal evidence.

At the same time, you can also take the opportunity to visit the Lu family and try to establish friendly ties with them.

In addition, it is necessary to find out the attitude of the Zhuojun Taishou, so that you can decide how to deal with the enemy.

Whether to report to the imperial court and wait for the edict, or to report to the Zhuojun Taishou, it will be handled by the Zhuojun Taishou.

In the worst-case scenario, if neither side is on his side, Liu An must make a quick decision and find a way to deal with the enemy reasonably and quickly before the imperial court and the Taishou intervene in this matter.

But before that, Liu An wanted to go to the manor first to see what had become of the manor in the past six months since he left.

Back in the inner hall, Liu An asked Jia Xu to go back to the manor with him.

Jia Xu had heard Liu An say before that those rare crops were planted in Liu's manor, and after looking forward to it for so long, he was finally able to see the artifact with his own eyes, and immediately agreed.

However, Jia Xu is over thirty after all, and in this era of average age of about thirty, he can already call himself old.

Therefore, although he was looking forward to it in his heart, he did not show it, but said to Liu An calmly: "It is exactly what I want." ”

Before returning to the manor, Liu An found Gao Sheng again and asked him to arrange a place for his soldiers to live.

Gao Sheng served as a county lieutenant in Zhuo County for half a year, and even lived in the Datong shop of the county government before, so he was naturally very familiar with the county government.

Although Gao Sheng is a big boss, he has been an official for half a year, and he can't do this thing well.

Then Liu An took Jia Xu Lu Bu and more than 20 personal guards and rode to Liu's manor.

Half an hour later, when there were still a few miles of land from the manor in Liu An's impression, Liu An saw that the place where he was still deserted when he left had countless houses at this time, one after another, spreading hundreds of acres.

At the end of the house, Liu An saw that there were still thousands of people gathered, and they continued to build in full swing.

In the aisle left in the middle of the house group, many elderly people gathered in groups of three or five, sitting on the hu bed, basking in the sun and chatting at the same time.

In addition, there is a group of half-grown children, running and playing in the streets.

After entering the complex, Liu An lowered the speed of his horse to avoid accidentally hitting people if he was too fast.

When the frolicking children saw more than 20 people passing by on tall horses, they couldn't help but stop, staring at the visitors with envy in their eyes.

On weekdays, they rarely see so many people riding by on horseback, usually at most three or five people pass together, only when Liu Ming and Liu Daren in the village return, they will take a large number of convoys and pass through here.

And even Lord Liu, the horses he rode were very different from those of these people sitting on their war horses.

More than 20 war horses were so tall and mighty, and the people sitting on them, except for the lean middle-aged man, were all extraordinary, and the children couldn't help but look at it surgingly, fantasizing that they would become such warriors when they grew up.

Unlike the children, among the old men basking in the sun, several knowledgeable old men noticed Liu An's undulating waist with the war horse, and the copper seal and black ribbon hanging on it, and their faces changed suddenly.

They got up in a panic and bowed in the direction of Liu An.

There are also old people who got up too quickly, flashed their waists, covered their waists and screamed in pain, and some did not stand firm after getting up, and almost fell.

After the unknown people learned from these old men that the person who took the lead was actually an official of the imperial court, they also nervously hurried to bow down, for fear that those officials and masters would be in a bad mood and their lives would be lost.

Liu An only took a general look at the residences of these newcomers, and had no intention of staying, so even if he noticed that the old men were saluting him, he didn't pay attention to them.

If he returns the salute, or stops and tells them to stop saluting, it will not only have no effect, but may also cause panic among the civilian population.

There was an order from the imperial court that officials should carry seals with them.

On the way before, no one knew him, but now that he has returned to his hometown and returned to Zhuo County, where he is served, he must no longer disobey the orders of the imperial court.

In case someone sees it and spreads the matter, Liu An will be punished.

However, even so, in the next journey, Liu An still tried his best to cover the lower ribbon with his sleeves, so as to frighten a few old people as little as possible.

On it together
