After about a cup of tea, the yamen soldier came out and said respectfully: "The Lord of the Mansion asked Mr. Li to come to the yamen to meet him."

Li Luo thanked him, followed the yamen soldiers into the yamen, and transferred through the hall several times. He was on high alert all the way to the door of a monastery. The entrance to the monastery was inscribed with three Chinese characters: "Qinglutang".

"Please report to the Lord of the Mansion and bring the visitor here." The yamen said to the mansion at the door.

The man's son glanced at Li Luo and entered the monastery, then came out: "Please follow me."

Li Luo followed the door Lang in again, uncovered two door curtains in a row, and entered an inner hall surrounded by sandalwood and heated.

A graceful middle-aged man leaned against the soft couch behind the desk. He was wearing a loose brocade robe, taking off his shoes and a small warm stove in his left hand and a book in his right hand.

This is not like an official who is busy with official documents, but rather a romantic scholar who studies in Yanju. However, it is quite majestic when evacuating leisurely.

At this moment, he was looking at Li Luo who was coming in with a playful look. Of course, this man was the lord of Jiang Hua and the county magistrate Zheng Lu.

"Boy Li Luo, pay homage to the Lord of Zheng." Li Luo shook his sleeves and bowed with a long bow without being humble or arrogant. His movements were flowing and he was extremely free and elegant.

"Langjun Li will sit nearby and serve tea on both sides." Zheng Lu said lightly.

"Thank you, Mr. Fu." Li Luo knelt on the opposite side of the desk, his posture was calm and generous.

Zheng Lu nodded secretly. Master Zhihai not only was his initiation Buddhist master, but also had kindness to him. Of course, he must do Zhihai's recommendation. Zhihai's letter has clearly explained the origin of Li Luo, and Zheng Lu was also a little curious about Li Luo.

At this time, when Li Luo was demeanor, with a good temperament and decent behavior, he couldn't help but feel a little favor.

"The master's handwritten letters have been read in this hall. Mr. Li was in peace with the people, so he established his ambition to suppress bandits. He is indeed a role model for his juniors." Zheng Lu praised him with ease.

"I dare not be praised by the emperor, and I feel ashamed." Although Li Luo has seen the world, he feels a little pressure when facing Zheng Lu.

There is no way, others hold his life, death, honor and disgrace.

Although Jianghua Island has a population of only 100,000, he has been a Korean capital. Therefore, Jianghua County Magistrate is a "low vocational and high-level member". Zheng Lu is a third-rank senior official, a full rank higher than ordinary county magistrates, and is a real official. This is why he does not call himself "the government" but calls himself "the government".

Such a senior politician has a treacherous mind, a moody and unpredictable position, and is a person that is difficult for small people to deal with.

"Speaking of this, we have a friendship with the head of the family, Li Shen, your family. Do you really don't want to go back to Renzhou now? We can write a letter to Li Shen, and we will share it for you." Zheng Lu said tentatively. The head of the Li family in Renzhou was a second-rank military officer, and the two were colleagues.

Li Luo bowed and said, "Xie Fujun is kind to you. I only want to live in Jiangdu for a while and serve the Fujun."

Zheng Lu smiled and said, "Since that's the case, you don't have to be a Laoshizi Village. The yamen is still short of a civil servant who is not allowed to choose from the eighth rank. You are both from a noble family and proficient in Tubo Mongolian language, so naturally the civil servant is the right way."

Li Luo said: "Xie Fujun is proud, but the boy is really determined to suppress the bandits."

Zheng Lu said: "Originally, the eighth-rank inspector was responsible for the prevention of pirates, which was just right for you, but unfortunately, there are no shortcomings now. The navy has good shortcomings, but it is not very convenient. Since you persist, you can only be the Mani Du Village first." For the sake of Zhihai and Li, he was really willing to support a talented young man like Li Luo.

There are 4,000 official troops in Jianghua County, of which the navy commander of the navy commander accounted for 3,000, while the county magistrate Zheng Lu could command only 1,000 troops. This was 1,000 officers and soldiers under Zheng Lu, and two officers and land inspectors were each assigned. Each inspector led 200 officers and soldiers, and the four inspectors had only 800 soldiers in total. The remaining were 200 yamen soldiers in the county magistrate's office.

As for the local heroes, they are not considered officers and soldiers at all. But if the local bravery is able to use it, it can also increase Zheng Lu's strength. Because the local bravery is in charge of the Gangshi, and the Jianghua Gangshi Zheng Lu serves as the Gangshi.

Now the world is unstable and military officers are arrogant. Although Zheng Lu is the third-rank senior official and a county lord, it is difficult to suppress the navy's commander Hong Qian.

"Don't make things difficult for the Lord of the House. You are already content to live in the capital." Li Luo said.

Zheng Lu nodded, "Then the church will issue the appointment document."

"Thank you, the Lord of the House." Li Luo took out ten silver bottles from his arms, "As soon as this year is locked up, I'm just a little gift. I'll give you some New Year's greetings to you in advance. Please don't refuse, otherwise the boy will be ashamed."

Zheng Lu glanced at ten silver bottles and showed a satisfied smile in his eyes. He thought to himself that Li Luo was really good at it. Logically speaking, since Zhihai recommended him, he was a foregone conclusion that he was a Duzhai official and he didn't need to lose money anymore. But he still took advantage of 300 guan of money, was good at making choices, and was a sensible and smart person.

"You, you!" Zheng Lu laughed, but his tone was much closer. Without waiting for him to speak, the book boy next to him skillfully put away ten silver bottles. It seemed that such things were ordinary.

"Only with the care of the Lord of the Fu, the boy can let go of his hands and feet to serve the Lord of the Fu." Li Luo said with a smile.

Zheng Lu said: "From today, the eight thousand people in Mani Township will entrust you to do it well, do it well!"

"Yes." Li Luo said solemnly.

"There are two things that I want to tell you. The first thing is not to get into evil with the Liu family. Although Mobei Village is also Mani Township, it is the territory of the Liu family. Don't interfere."

"Boy obeys the order."

"The second thing. Now that pirates are raging, they cannot be defeated, and they cannot be defended. When it comes to suppressing bandits, you must not be eager to achieve success or be greedy for success. If you do not do it well, it will ruin your life." The meaning of this is actually to make Li Luo not be too serious and do not believe that the village hero can really suppress bandits.

Li Luo naturally said to obey the order. But he said in his heart: It is you bastards and corrupt officials who make the pirates arrogant.

"In addition, the Duzhai Institute can only intercept 400 stagnant taxes every year, so the township warriors have too many slights. However, this has always been the case. You don't have to force yourself to be full. If you don't make a big mistake, you will be a meritorious." Zheng Lu said, writing the appointment document and stamping it with the county magistrate's seal.

After taking over the appointment document, Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief. The official position of the ninth-rank Duzhai was finally obtained.

"A hundred thousand people are all kind to the Lord of the House. The Lord of the House is busy with all kinds of things every day, and asks to work and rest to take care of themselves. The subordinates dare not disturb them any more, so they retired." Li Luo proposed to retire at the right time, and naturally replaced the "boy" with "lower officials".

"Let's go. Let's write another warrant when this hall writes you to go to the arsenal to get five bows, hundreds of feather arrows, twenty straight swords, and thirty spears." Zheng Lu wrote down a warrant and handed it to Li Luo.

This weapon seems to be very few, only enough to equip dozens of people. But Zheng Lu is already generous enough, and there are no other officials in the capital village at all, and he relies on his own weapons.

Of course, these weapons are public property, not privately owned by Zheng Lu, and he would not suffer any loss when he took them out as a favor. Because he knew very well that Li Luo would have good filial piety in the future, and Li Luo was also considered his person.

"I thank you for the cultivation of the mansion!" Li Luo did not expect that Zheng Lu also gave him a batch of weapons. It was a surprise.

Li Luo said goodbye to Zheng Lu, and went to the official office with a document to go through the job procedures and receive the official seal of the official uniform.

Then, Li Luo returned to the noodle shop where Cui Xiuning and others rested, told the story and asked everyone to go to the arsenal together to collect weapons.

When Du Liewutu and others heard that they had weapons to take, they were immediately excited.
