Liu Changlu glanced at Lu Ning a little helplessly and said.

"My brother has now been knighted, not only your glory, but also the glory of Changning County, I should inform the local gentry to come to you to say hello."

Listening to Liu Zhixian's words, Lu Ning was simply a big one, and he didn't want to make any pomp.

"I said Lao Liu, if you don't want to toss me, don't do this, aren't you just a baron? It's not a big deal, as for such fanfare. ”

Liu Changlu was really a little helpless, it was one of the fifth-class titles, and it was a status equivalent to a second-class official.

You don't think it's a problem, so what can it be?

"The imperial court also has corresponding regulations, even if you don't want to be lively, we have to be lively once, not only that, but the Changzhou Mansion also has to give a notice."

Lu Ning really didn't want to make any pomp, but since Liu Xianling said so, he didn't want to make it difficult for the other party.

"Okay, then control this matter to the minimum, it's best not to make any waves, lest you let the imperial historian know about it, and then say something unpleasant."

Seeing that he had agreed, Liu Xianling went to arrange it himself, and at the same time sent an official document to the Changzhou Mansion.

At this time, Huang Qi, the prefect of Changzhou Mansion, was depressed, and he was also frightened by Lu Ning recently, so he didn't dare to rush forward to find trouble.

After receiving the official letter sent by Liu Changlu, I opened it and looked at it, and I was even more annoyed.

He called Master Qian, the dog-headed military master, and said angrily.

"It's really the world's greatest, you see this Lu Ning has changed, it's simply become a fragrant bait, what's so great about being a baron? even came to the official document to ask me to congratulate, what if I didn't go! ”

Master Qian didn't have that much anger, he said to Huang Zhifu with a smile.

"The lord can't be so impulsive, even if the baron is a small title, after all, it is also a second-grade official, if you don't go, then Lu Ning can find a reason to join you, this is the title of the court."

Thinking about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with this, but Huang Qi couldn't swallow this breath.

So, he said to Huang Zhifu.

"Since we have to go, then let's go, eat and drink him, and I can't prepare any gifts, so I have to give him this face today."

Perhaps, this should be Huang Qi's last stubbornness, Master Qian didn't say anything, and retreated on his own.

Two days later, Liu Changlu set up two tables in the county office, and all the guests went to the banquet as scheduled to congratulate Lu Ning, a man from Changning County.

Although he is very low-key, Lu Ning has still become the object of the stars, and his limelight far overshadows the local parent official Huang Zhifu.

Huang Qi's face was very ugly, but he could only pretend to be calm Lu Ning toasted a glass of wine and said.

"I am the prefect of Changzhou, no one has been able to get the title here, Lord Lu has this favor, this is also the glory of our Changzhou Mansion, I salute you."

Seeing Huang Qi smiling there, Lu Ning also felt very uncomfortable, he waved his hand and said.

"Don't be so polite, I just have a little vain, and I have to rely on you more for anything in the future, especially the support of Lord Huang."

Both sides spoke very modestly, and Liu Changlu brought a group of gentry to persuade him to drink, so naturally the surface was very harmonious.

But whether it is Huang Qi or Lu Ning, they are very clear in their hearts, if they don't speculate for more than half a sentence, this drinking party should end immediately from the beginning.

When it was finally the end of the banquet, Lu Ning was relieved at first, he finally didn't have to drink with this annoying prefect anymore.

However, Lu Ning didn't have anything else to do in his heart, so he went back to sleep directly, but after Huang Qi returned to the mansion, the more he thought about it, the more awkward he became.

After thinking about it, he called his military advisor Master Qian over again and asked.

"Old Qian, I went to this banquet, in fact, I was very aggrieved, but I still went after listening to your suggestion, I really can't swallow this breath at this time."

At this time, Master Qian showed the judgment of an excellent staff, he shook his head and said to Huang Qi.

"Even if you have resentment in your heart, you have to suppress it, after all, the imperial court also values Lu Ning very much now, and it is estimated that even Tu Zhongcheng will have nothing to do."

Huang Qi thought about it, this is indeed the case, if the imperial court does not value Lu Ning, it will not directly make him a baron.

But this breath is blocked in my chest, and I can't swallow anything, so I can't just suffocate it.

After thinking about it, he asked Master Qian another question.

"Then tell me, if the imperial court kills a person with merit, what crime will it usually be for?"

For this question, I am afraid that any person will know the answer, and the answer is the only one.

Therefore, hearing his question, Master Qian replied almost without thinking.

"If this is the case, it can basically only be a felony of treason, even if you make a great contribution, as long as you are charged with treason, the court will never tolerate it."

After hearing this, Huang Qi laughed directly and said to Master Qian.

"Since that's the case, then please write an article, and I'll submit it to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then there will be a good show."

Master Qian and Huang Qi are grasshoppers on a rope, one is prosperous and the other is lost, so they naturally obey orders.

Therefore, a letter slandering Lu Ning for gathering the people's intentions to rebel was immediately written, and it was sent to the capital at an expedited speed of 800 miles, and directly submitted to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
