Chapter 144: A Last Resort
"Aren't the people from the dynasty just a few of us?"
"Is there anyone else coming?"
Gu Wanqing listened to a few words, and immediately showed a puzzled expression.
At that time, the dynasty was making a series of trivial matters.
In the end, the prince still asked Lu Yuan to come and have a look in person.
"Aren't we talking about it?"
Su Liyan's tone was unusually affirmative.
And at this moment, Lu Yuan also had some other thoughts in his heart.
It turned out that the prince insisted on letting him come to Liaocheng to deal with the drought at that time.
The biggest reason is not because I am smart.
Or rather, it's not because you can think of a solution to the problem.
It's because there's a more important thing to do yourself.
The matter of Liaocheng is not as simple as a superficial drought at all.
The situation is complicated.
If you want to solve all the problems in Liaocheng, it seems that you need to go deeper step by step.
However, just as Lu Yuan was pondering, there was a sudden sound of dense footsteps outside the prison.
The sound of footsteps was heavy.
It seems to be in a hurry.
Lu Yuan slowly opened his eyes and saw a man wearing silk and satin.
An official, dressed in luxurious brocade, stood in front of the door of the cell.
Through the gap in the middle of the cell door, Lu Yuan clearly saw that there was a group of people standing outside.
Among them, in addition to that official, there is also Liu Zhutou, who caught himself before.
"Brother, that's them."
Liu Zhutou pointed to Lu Yuan and said.
"Are you passing by our county, or are you?"
The official looked at Lu Yuan with a hesitant expression.
In the minds of officials, there is actually an answer.
It's just that maybe it's because of Lu Yuan's current situation, so he didn't dare to make a decision all of a sudden.
After all.
Whoever is a good person, when he goes out to do errands, he has to drag his family with him.
In this area, or did you bring three women?
"We are an imperial city to deal with the drought."
Lu Yuan stood up and responded with a firm expression.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must have seen the car we parked outside."
"Now that you see it, and we are dressed like this, why can't you tell the difference?"
Lu Yuan walked to the door of the cell and stared at the official in front of him.
When Lu Yuan looked at him like this, the man suddenly panicked.
"Oops, it's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."
"Look, isn't this a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't recognize the family?"
After pondering left and right, the official knelt down directly in front of Lu Yuan.
"And that's how you treat your family?"
"I don't think it's the Dragon King Temple that is flushing water, it's your interests that come first, right?"
Lu Yuan kept staring at the official in front of him.
"No, if there is really a big flood, there won't be a drought here for half a year, right?"
Gu Qingwan stood next to her and echoed casually.
"Open the door, open the door."
"What are you guys doing in a daze?"
As the official spoke, he kicked Liu Zhutou in the ass.
That Liu Zhutou was inexplicable, and suddenly he was kicked, and the whole person was blind.
"Brother, what are you hitting me for?"
"You didn't hit me before."
Liu Zhutou was still asking why the officials kicked him.
Obviously, he didn't understand the situation.
"Do you know who you caught? This is from the imperial dynasty, the son of the present day. ”
The official's face was full of embarrassment, and he glared at Liu Zhutou in front of him and said.
"He ......"
"World ...... The Son? ”
When Liu Zhutou heard this, he instantly understood in his heart.
Co-authored, the person who needed to be greeted early in the morning had already been arrested by himself.
This matter made a fuss, and Liu Zhutou was suddenly a little embarrassed.
Liu Zhutou lowered his head, wanting to find a mouse hole immediately and then get into it.
"I don't apologize yet."
The official kicked Liu Zhutou's knee.
Liu Zhutou was also not paying attention, and knelt directly in front of Lu Yuan.
Liu Zhutou only now figured out that he had made a big mistake.
It's okay to catch an ordinary person.
Even if he really arrested the son, it would be an innocent act.
After all, the ignorant are not guilty, are they?
However, this thousand should not be, it should not be, in front of the world, and then fish the people.
It is a great sin to rob the people of their food.
"I was wrong, I deserved to die, I am not human."
Liu Zhutou supported the ground with both hands, and his forehead touched the ground, making a 'bang' sound.
"Do you know what your brother-in-law has done?"
Lu Yuan raised his head and stared at the official in front of him.
The official rolled his eyes, and his expression froze slightly.
Immediately after, I immediately thought of how to answer Lu Yuan.
"This is also a last resort!"
The official showed a bitter look, and the whole person looked a little entangled.
"As a last resort?"
Lu Yuan thought of countless answers.
Including officials may bribe themselves with gold, silver and jewelry.
Or, in other words, make up some other excuses, saying that they don't know that Liu Zhutou has done these things outside.
But he never expected it.
The first sentence of the answer turned out to be a last resort?
"Then tell me, what is your last resort?"
Lu Yuan now really wants to hear what kind of last resort the officials are talking about.
"Shizi, how can you stay here with such a noble status."
"Come with me to the house, let's sit down and talk about this matter slowly."
The official saw that things had taken a turn for the better, and hurriedly explained with a smiling face.
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, it's up to you."
Lu Yuan responded, took Gu Qingwan and his party, and walked out of prison.
When he returned to the official's house, he ordered his subordinates to prepare the meal.
Moreover, let Liu Zhutou serve Lu Yuan and them.
It is also to express the previous apology.
Although it was a misunderstanding that arrested Lu Yuan, it was also Liu Zhutou who was at fault first.
"Alright, don't mess with those nonsense things."
"Tell me, how did you do it as a last resort?"
Lu Yuan sat down and directly asked the biggest doubt in his heart.
"This matter may be a little complicated."
"I just don't know if the son of the world can accept it."
The officials pretended to be false, saying that half of them were left behind.
"You just say it."
Lu Yuan thinks to himself, he thinks that in this world, there should be no one more outrageous than himself, right?
Make bicycles, make cars, make luxury goods and lots of perfumes.
Lu Yuan has already made all these things.
Could it be that there is something more powerful?
The official softened his tone, then picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of tea.
Lu Yuan looked at the tea on the table, and his face was obviously a little unsightly.
It's a drought now, and the people in the county are outside.
Because of the lack of water resources and the lack of food, they left the county one after another.
In the official's house, there was still water and food.
This is clearly unreasonable.
"Half a year ago, Liaocheng had already begun to drought, and it didn't rain a drop at that time."
"But then, another god man appeared, and that god man seemed to have the power to reach the heavens."
"The man of God told us that as long as we could worship Him for a year, they would give us rain."
After pondering left and right, the officials told the truth of everything.
Lu Yuan's first hearing was mysterious, indeed mysterious.
However, fortunately, Lu Yuanyuan is well-informed.
In the face of these things, he has long been accustomed to it.
"So what do you mean by having to do it as a last resort?"
Lu Yuan changed his tone and asked.
"It's because we need food for worship, chicken, duck, and fish."
"But where do you say we go to find so many things in our small county?"
"No, it can only be borrowed from the people."
The officials eventually spoke out about their grievances.
In the end, the official did not say robbery, but only borrowed.
Lu Yuan was also present at the time, in that case, the officials called it borrowing?
"Snatching from the hands of the people, is that also called borrowing?"
Lu Yuan asked directly.
"Snatch?"
At this moment, the official's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Liu Zhutou next to him.
"Brother, I don't know anything!"
"I told the people below me that someone had made a disturbance and injured our brother."
"So I took people with me ......"
Liu Zhutou was looked at by the officials like this, and immediately explained the ins and outs of what happened at that time.
"Alright, alright."
Lu Yuan didn't bother to listen to them talk about these excuses.
In addition, at that time, it was indeed only the people below who snatched things, and Liu Zhutou only arrived after that.
"So if you mean it."
"You also have good intentions, for the good of the whole county?"
"Just worship the so-called god man you call for a year, and then the wind and rain will be smooth here?"
Lu Yuan pulled the topic back again.
Start asking questions about that God-man.
Officials seem to be hesitant to face this question.
Lu Yuan could clearly see what the officials wanted to hide.
That's why the eyes are erratic.
"yes, that's pretty much it."
Immediately afterward, the official hurriedly nodded in reply.
"In that case, then you can take me to the man of God now."
Lu Yuan responded without thinking.
"No! Never! ”
However, just when Lu Yuan said this.
The official almost jumped up from his chair.
'Plop' knelt directly in front of Lu Yuan.
The official's mouth was still denying Lu Yuan's words.
"Can't? Since he is a man of God who helps the people, it is only natural that I should visit him. ”
Lu Yuan was a little puzzled.
However, in Lu Yuan's heart, he also had another idea.
There may be two possibilities for the current situation.
The first possibility is that the so-called God-man in the mouth of the officials does not exist at all.
It was just a lie made up by officials.
The purpose may be to cover up the fact that Liu catches the head of the common people.
This second possibility may really be as the official said.
This god-man really exists, but there are other secrets hidden in it.
"Shizi, your body and bones are very valuable, you must not meet that god."
"If something happens to you, then I can't explain it!"
The official's face was bitter, and as he spoke, his eyes were constantly turning.
"Don't worry, I will never blame you if something happens."
"I'm just a son, not a grandson, and I'm not so expensive."
"Besides, I'm not here to solve problems, even if I take them."
Lu Yuan paused, and then continued: "Okay, the matter is decided, Liu Zhutou leads the way." ”
"This ......"
Before the official could speak, Lu Yuan made a decision alone.
Liu Zhutou is also a blind face.
However, Liu Zhutou has always looked at the position of the official.
Indifferent, with no intention of leading the way.
Obviously, here, maybe the son of the world is just a title.
There is no real power.
If he really has real power, then Liu Zhutou dares not to listen to his own words?
"Shizi, this matter really needs to be considered in the long run."
Immediately afterward, the officials began to make other excuses.
"Think long-term? It's too much trouble. ”
"The sooner the matter is resolved, I can also return to the imperial city one step earlier."
"There are too many trivial things to do, and I can't finish it!"
Lu Yuan explained word by word.
"Shizi, that's like this."
"The man of God said before that she likes to be pure and doesn't like to be disturbed."
"If anyone bothered, it wouldn't rain on her."
At this moment, when the scene was embarrassing, the officials even found other excuses temporarily.
In an instant, Lu Yuan only had the word hehe in his heart.
Don't like to be interrupted?
I didn't say it at the beginning, but now there is no way back, and I say it.
No one would believe it.
If the man of God really is for the people.
Why should the people be deprived of the only food they have left in their hands at such a difficult time?
This is clearly not for the good of the people, but for the sake of exterminating the people.
Can such a practice still be called a man of God?
Lu Yuan felt that it should be called bandits and robbers.
If only there really was such a God-man.
Then Lu Yuan really wants to see it.
And ask him face to face, what is the purpose of this?
Do you want the people to know whose credit it is?
I still want the people to understand.
Only by giving your all can you come to the bitter end?
"Well, then I won't meet with the man of God."
Lu Yuan then responded.
"yes, that's the ......"
The official just breathed a sigh of relief, and then was interrupted by Lu Yuan's words from behind.
"Then I'll just look at the man of God from a distance, so as not to disturb her purity, right?"
Lu Yuan paused, while saying this.
The official swallowed violently and spat at the mouth.
In the end, we still have to see the man of God.
This made the officials a little helpless for a while.
"That's not going to work."
At this moment, the official gave another negative.
"That's not okay either?"
Lu Yuan directly began to ask.
"The gods and men have vast powers, and you can feel them within a radius of a few miles."
"But if you stand a few miles away, you can't see a god-man."
"Standing within a radius of a few miles affects the purity of the man of God."
The officials came up with another completely unconscionable excuse.
"I think you just don't want us to see that man of God."
"That's why they come up with so many excuses to fool us."
At this moment, Gu Qingwan, who was sitting on the side, really couldn't bear the anger in her heart.
