The next day, the brothers of the Qin family were going back to the station, and Qin's mother went to see Qin Heng off.

She mentioned the Hou Shuanghou Ya brothers and sisters, yesterday on her birthday, they didn't come, but they gave a gift, and the doorman of the military camp sent it in.

Qin's mother said, "The brothers and sisters of the Hou family are relatives of Xiaojia Xiaohan's family, and they are also quite polite, but now that they are in trouble in Liaodong County, they still have to help when they should reach out." ”

Qin Heng nodded, "Mother, I know about this." ”

On this day, Liu Heshan and Chen Ping were invited to Houcheng by Lu Desheng.

The two came together, and they were both guessing Lu Desheng's purpose for looking for them.

Lu Desheng personally met with the two.

As soon as they met, the two made a formal salute, "I've met Lord Thorn Shi." ”

"Please, between us, don't be so polite." Lu Desheng personally helped the two of them up.

"Xiaguan and the others congratulate Master Lu on his promotion."

Lu Desheng invited the two of them to sit down, and said straight to the point, "Do you know that Lu Yiliang, the county guard of Liaoxi County, had an accident?" ”

"Yes." The two of them didn't know what he meant by mentioning it.

"After I am promoted to the assassin of Pingzhou, the position of the county guard of the two counties of Liaodong and Liaoxi will be vacated."

Hearing this, the hearts of the two suddenly pounded.

"I always remember that when it came to negotiating with Xianbei, you two followed me to take so much risk. So, now that I have the opportunity, I'm going to promote you both to the rank of county warden. ”

Liu Heshan, Chen Ping: ...... I was confused.

After reacting, the two of them felt incredulous, no, the position of the county guard is not a cabbage, it was something that he Lu Desheng said to them could give it? They knew that the Assassin did not have the right to appoint and dismiss the county guard.

"Master Lu, you're not joking, are you?"

Lu Desheng was speechless, "Do you think I called you all the way here just to make such a joke with you?" ”

The two smiled awkwardly, "That can't." ”

The two of them said, "But it's hard to do, isn't it?" ”

"It's a matter of people." Lu Desheng said to the two, "If you have a relationship with the DPRK and China, you can also secretly exert yourself." ”

Liu Heshan and Chen Ping both smiled bitterly, if they had a relationship with the DPRK and China, how could they not even be transferred out of Liaodong County?

Lu Desheng understood, and glanced at them with disgust, "Forget it, I don't expect you to do this, go back and wait." ”

Before leaving, Lu Desheng remembered one thing and said to Liu Heshan, "Your cousin Jiang Changyun is a talent, don't treat others badly when you turn back." ”

When Liu Heshan heard this, his face became very strange, his cousin, talent?

Chen Ping will also remember Jiang Changyun, a ruthless character, thinking that he gave Shi Tao chin beans at the beginning, and in order to clear his suspicion, he poured all the medicine on himself. Now that Lord Lu mentions him again, is he doing something again?

On the way back, the more they thought about it, the more unpleasant they became.

At the beginning, in the matter of negotiating with Xianbei, they had no credit and hard work. Afterwards, they handed over the fold to the imperial court, wanting to change to a safer place as officials, and they did not ask for a promotion or anything, but this request was rejected.

Now as soon as Lord Lu was promoted, he began to pull them out......

Some people can't compare, and some things can't think deeply.

Chen Ping sighed and said, "Old Liu, let's not think about transferring out of Pingzhou." ”

Liu Heshan nodded, "Well, let's follow Master Lu with our heads in the future." ”

Since they felt that Pingzhou was dangerous, they tried to make it less dangerous!

Liaoxi County

As soon as the case was concluded, Lin Ran ordered the Shi family and those like Lu Yiliang involved to be escorted back to Chang'an.

However, he led the people to go first, and brought the proceeds of the raid back to Chang'an to restore their lives, and the remaining part of his subordinates escorted the prisoners back.

Lin Ran out of the horse, and the movement was quite big.

The news that Pingzhou had vacated two county guards had been faintly spread in Chang'an before Lin Ran returned to Chang'an.

Especially now that it is the end of the year, there are many ministers who have returned to Chang'an to report on their vacancies. No, the officials who are qualified to further serve as county guards have more information spread around their mansions.

The officials who heard the news were all in danger.

At the thought of the possibility of being sent to Pingzhou, these courtiers who were lacking in Hou retreated one by one, shaking their heads like rattles in their hearts. First of all, Pingzhou is the most remote place in the northeast of Dali, which is similar to poor mountains and bad waters. Secondly, when they go, they will be subservient to Lu Desheng.

As soon as they thought of this, they felt suffocated, forget it, they couldn't fall into the hands of Lu Desheng if they were killed, and Pingzhou was not a good place to go.

As a result, these officials began to move around frequently, and quickly, they quickly found a suitable position for themselves, and quickly took up their posts.

As soon as Lin Ran returned to Chang'an, Wang Dong let the navy retreat. Then he left a sum of money for the remnants of Chang'an, and rode back to Pingzhou slowly on a little donkey, he liked his current life too much. His younger brothers were very reluctant and sent him to the East City Gate before waving goodbye.

At this time, Song Mo considered that Pingzhou had vacant two county guards, and intended to send two ministers to Pingzhou.

But he turned his eyes around and found that there were few suitable people. Especially when his eyes fell on two of the ministers, the two of them trembled, and when they returned from the next court, they said that they could not afford to be sick.

Seeing this, Song Mo's face was very bad.

Zhang Xian persuaded on the side, "Your Majesty, it is indeed difficult in Pingzhou, and it is understandable that the ministers are reluctant to go." ”

Song Mo thought that since there were no ministers who were slightly lower than the candidate who were willing to go, then the low-level ones would be promoted to the rank of the county guard.

In his report to the emperor two days later, Lin Ran recounted Shi Tao's case, and briefly mentioned that Liu Heshan, the county commander of Wuxian County, provided some evidence, which expanded the results of the battle.

Liu Heshan? Song Mo felt that this name was a little familiar.

Liang An, the chief eunuch next to him, immediately reminded that Liu Heshan and another county commander, Chen Ping, had also made meritorious contributions in the negotiations between Liaodong County and Xianbei Wangting at the beginning of the year, but the two of them were not heavily rewarded at that time.

Song Mo asked Shang Shu to check on the two of them. Sure enough, there were two people in Shangshu who asked to be transferred out of Liaodong County.

Song Mo remembered that because the two had just made meritorious contributions, Shangshu had come to ask him for advice at that time, and he would be in a bad mood and rejected it.

These two people are bent on transferring out of Liaodong County, and they must be at odds with Lu Desheng. If he promoted the two of them, it would be similar to sending two officials from the DPRK and China. Moreover, these two people also made meritorious contributions in the previous negotiations with the Xianbei royal court and were promoted to the position of county guard, and the ministers of the court and the central government had nothing to say.

And he promoted them from the position of county commander to the position of county guard, and the two of them are bound to be grateful to him as an emperor.
