376: Jiang Sheng, Jiang Xiandeng [asking for monthly ticket]
"Shaoxuan, you"
Shen Tang looked back at Bai Su in shock.
Yes, the response of "Father" just now was not the young girl that Commander Lu was longing for, but Bai Su with a false voice. The latter squatted down, his usually clear eyes tainted with a hint of melancholy, and seemed to explain to Zai Shen Tang , also like explaining to Governor Lu.
"He can't wait for his daughter to come over," Bai Su said.
Bai Su heard the girl's voice when she rescued her. As a former elite professional snitch, fake voice disguise and lurking are basic skills that Bai Su must learn. She dare not say that she has practiced every skill to the extreme, but she still has eight or nine points of essence.
"My lord, his injuries are too serious."
Seeing that Commander Lu was so injured, he was able to talk to the Lord for a few words. Apart from being a brave warrior and protecting his heart with the remaining martial energy, the biggest reason was the obsession and persistence in his heart that refused to go away. own strong will.
"And Miss Lu won't be able to wake up for a while."
How long can a forced stay last?
How cruel would it be if he didn't wait until he died?
Bai Su didn't want to meddle in this business at first, but just looked at Governor Lu, and couldn't help but think of his deceased relatives. It would be better to let him listen to his daughter's voice, and return to hell with a smile with the only joy, which can be regarded as giving him the last dignity. and respect.
As a living person, she knows very well how sad it is to be left with unwillingness, nostalgia and regret while dying.
"I don't mean to blame you." Regardless of the dirt, Shen Tang raised his hand and gently closed Sheriff Lu's intact, slightly opened eye. The other hand patted Bai Su's shoulder, giving her a comforting touch. Embracing, "I just heard that after death, the five senses and the middle ear are the last to disappear, so people can still hear the cries of their relatives for a while after death."
Bai Su was shocked at first by Shen Tang's action - her lord was several years younger than her, so she didn't expect that he would be as serious and conscientious as an adult, comforting her in her heart - but when she heard the second part of Shen Tang's sentence, her face turned pale. .
"Lord, I——"
Bai Su replaced himself as the governor of Lu County.
Worrying that I have done bad things with good intentions.
The regret has not been eliminated, and I really can’t live in peace.
"I just heard that, so don't take it too seriously." She looked at County Sheriff Lu still carrying Yu Wen's body and said solemnly, "I will take care of your daughter. I can't say how much glory and wealth you will give her, but at least you can Let her find a place in this world. As long as I, Shen Tang, haven't fallen down, nothing will happen to her. You can go on your way with peace of mind. If there are really six reincarnations in this world, I promise you - when you come to this world again At that time, the sea will be clear and the river will be clear, and singing and dancing will bring peace."
The breeze blows on my face, like a person sighing.
Shen Tang ordered people to retrieve the mutilated body of Governor Lu and piece it together so that at least the whole body could be buried. As for the other bodies, she packed them up and burned them. She did not have the manpower to bury them one by one. Burial.
After finishing these, there are other things to be busy with.
Although the refugee grass bandits have been temporarily repelled, there is no guarantee that they will come back again. Luxia County is leaderless and the people in the city have lost their backbone. If they are not calmed down at this time, chaos will arise.
She ordered people to summon the officials of Luxia County Government Office.
result--
Looking at the sparse Luxia County officials with three or two kittens still trembling, she said in astonishment: "Why, why are there only a few of you?" Such a small number of people are no better than the original Heyin Office. ,"What about the rest?"
She remembered that Governor Lu was quite wealthy during his lifetime.
He doesn't look like a poor man at all.
At this time, a young-faced man stood up, probably a newcomer, and he answered truthfully: "The others have either escaped or surrendered, and I am the only one left."
Shen Tang: ""
Speaking of which, she still didn't know how the Luxia County Office was breached, and hoped they could clear up her doubts.
Several people looked at each other.
Shen Tang saw that they were about to speak but stopped.
Then he asked: "What, can't you say it?"
The official said: "It's not that I can't say it, it's just that-"
They were just worried that speaking out would damage the late lord's reputation. Governor Lu really deserved to lose in this matter.
Shen Tang thought for a while, looked at the guard Bai Su, and said: "There is no garrulous person here, just say whatever you want."
The officials still looked troubled.
Shen Tang had no choice but to wave back the guards on the left and right.
"Nothing happens here, you can go out."
Bai Su and Lu Jue clasped their fists, bowed and left.
The official looked at the officials on the left and right again.
Shen Tang understood and asked them to wait outside the door.
Only then did the officials start talking.
In fact, it's not complicated to say.
This matter has to start with Governor Lu himself.
As we all know, the former Lord Commander Lu has a stubborn temper and is different from ordinary people - other people choose people based on their origins and talents, but the former Lord first looks at whether the person's appearance is suitable for him, followed by his talent, and does not care much about his background.
This is one of them.
Secondly, Sheriff Lu loved his wife deeply, and he also loved his brothers-in-law who did not suit his taste. Although he did not give them any important positions, he was always kind and pleasant, and he would listen to their opinions when he was in doubt. .
Whether to adopt it or not is another matter.
Shen Tang couldn't help but think of the eloquent staff member last night, and her guess was confirmed by the official's answer later. That staff member was the most beloved brother-in-law of Lu County Governor Yue's family. He was eloquent and had some real ability, so he sent Lu to the county treasury. He left it to the other party's custody and didn't bother him much at ordinary times. This person took advantage of this trust to secretly make profits and form cliques.
Governor Lu is a rough guy, obsessed with spiritual practice, and gets headaches whenever he sees complex internal affairs. As long as the final figures are consistent, he basically doesn't interfere. The brother-in-law of the official staff has been successfully fooling around for several years, and the deficit in the accounts is getting bigger and bigger. .
This time, the refugees and bandits attacked.
With the temper of the governor of Lu, he naturally wanted to defend and not give in an inch, but the number of enemies was huge, and defense would cost more money and food than attacking. The treasury that had been able to turn around in the past could no longer support it, and the brother-in-law of the staff suddenly panicked. I was usually found. For the sake of my sister who died early, I was beaten so hard that I couldn't get out of bed for at least ten and a half days.
No matter the pain, your life can always be saved.
But this is war time!
Lack of food and grass will sacrifice thousands of people in Luxia County.
This brother-in-law will definitely kill him!
For the sake of his own life, he racked his brains to find a way out for himself, and even tried to test Governor Lu's tone by insinuations and coaxing him to pity the refugees and grass bandits, open a warehouse to provide food relief, and take in the refugees, just to spend money to buy peace.
He was severely scolded for just trying this!
The brother-in-law of a staff member was so panicked that he had murderous intentions.
Behind the back of the governor of Lu County, he secretly communicated with the leader of the refugee grass bandits. Except for the administrative city, the rest of the counties and towns in Luxia County were quickly lost. After the administrative city was breached, it was his subordinate brother-in-law who played a vicious trick on the enemy.
idea.
Magistrate Lu had no regard for anyone in his life, but he was particularly fond of the two sons and two daughters of his late wife.
For the youngest daughter who looks exactly like his late wife, he basically wants the stars but not the moon. He also allows her to dress up as a man and practice literature and martial arts with her two brothers. If the eldest daughter hadn't been gentle since she was a child, didn't like armed forces and preferred red clothes, she would probably have
He can be pampered and become the second rouge tiger in Luxia County. If he can capture these few and threaten the common people in the city, he will be captured without hesitation!
My brother-in-law, who is a staff member, is not struggling alone.
Gu C
If he just wanted to hold another thigh, and stepping on this brother-in-law would not pose a threat to him, then the villains who embezzled the benefits with him wanted the life of Governor Lu. After all, after all the dust settled, Lu
The county guard couldn't touch his brother-in-law, but he couldn't touch people like them?
To strike first is to be strong, to strike later is to suffer disaster.
Just keep doing nothing.
Kill their whole family!
The youngest son of Governor Lu was guarding the city with his father, but he was hit in the heart by a stray arrow that came from unknown sources. Shen Tang was also filled with sighs when he heard this. Governor Lu, apart from being a poor person, was a decent person.
She was upright and stubborn, but she died at the hands of a villain. She had previously thought that Governor Lu's excuse for the child's death was an excuse, but she was wrong.
"Where is that young man's body?"
The official raised his hand as a gesture of wiping away tears.
"You should be settled in the side room of the official office now."
"Send someone later to pick them all up and bury them alive." Shen Tang couldn't help but think that if he and others had arrived earlier, maybe the ending would have been different, but there is no such thing as what-if in this world, leaving only regrets.
She continued to listen to the official's talk.
Not long after the city was destroyed, reinforcements arrived.
Sheriff Lu was threatened and tricked Shen Tang and others into coming in.
Naturally, he refused to do this. If he did this, how would he be able to stand in the world in the future? But he couldn't stand the fact that the people in the city were in the hands of others, his family members were also being manipulated, and his brother-in-law was fanning the flames, so Sheriff Lu had no choice but to leave the city with a shameful face.
Shen Tang also knew what happened next.
Sheriff Lu never expected that a group of little people he never cared about would actually take the opportunity to massacre his family members. He asked himself, he treated them well, and he tried his best to be kind to his brother-in-law.
The result was complete betrayal.
He learned from Bai Su that only his youngest daughter was dead in the whole family, so he lost his mind and the first person to kill was his brother-in-law. After hearing this, Shen Tang pointed at the table and asked curiously: "The first person to kill is my brother-in-law. I can understand, after all, Lu Gong doesn’t know that this brother-in-law only betrayed but did not intend to kill him, but why - the second one wants to kill you?"
The official's face froze.
I almost thought I heard it wrong.
Shen Tang repeated with a smile but not a smile: "I asked why Mr. Lu wanted to kill you the second time after he killed his brother-in-law. If you still don't understand, I can repeat it a third time."
She is very easy to talk to.
Official: ""
Shen Tang smiled kindly, as friendly as chatting with friends, but the words he said were not so friendly: "Don't you think you know too much in detail? I was just worried that they would expose me and even other officials. You, right? I'm just young and tender, but it's not that I'm not brainy, I still have basic judgments."
She asked: "You are Jiang Sheng, Jiang Xiandeng."
Although he was asking, his tone was firm.
The official continued to be silent. After a while, he slowly spoke: "Does this alone mean that I am Jiang Xiandeng?"
"No, but it's not a big problem. Even if I guess wrong, it doesn't matter. Your identity can be slowly tortured after catching you." He said he wanted to arrest people and torture them, but he didn't mean it in his actions. He also made a gesture of invitation, "If you have any questions, you can speak freely now."
Official, it's really Jiang Sheng.
Shen Tang almost laughed and said, "You are so brave to come to me at this time!"
Jiang Sheng said: "Didn't Jun Shen say that he wanted to pry someone from Duke Lu earlier? I am here."
Shen Tang: ""
She was joking.
Naturally, Shen Tang would not believe Jiang Sheng's reason. Although she was a bit unruly in her employment, and her subordinates were more expensive than the others, she was willing to do so. Now that there is only one document, Jiang Sheng is the only one who knows the truth.
His words are not trustworthy.
As for the surviving Miss Lu?
She probably doesn't know more than Sheriff Lu.
Shen Tang wanted to hear how Jiang Sheng tried to convince him, or to see what kind of medicine Jiang Sheng was selling in his gourd!
Jiang Sheng said: "I always act according to my heart."
This has nothing to do with courage.
Shen Tang didn't want to beat around the bush with him, so he opened up and explained to him: "I can see that you are not incompetent. I'm curious, where are you from? Governor Lu and you should be familiar, otherwise you You won’t know the details of such a long time ago, but on the battlefield, you took action to protect those grassroots refugees and fight against us."
Jiang Sheng’s stance is very thought-provoking.
She wanted to find out.
In fact, the reason is very simple.
Jiang Sheng was originally from the lower class of Lu. Due to some reasons, he could only stay in his hometown to make a living. However, County Sheriff Lu did not re-employ him because of his reputation. He only gave him a casual job. He found out that there was something wrong with the brother-in-law of County Sheriff Lu, and he warned him, but he did not listen. .
Not long ago, a friend came to visit.
This man had found an important position under the bandit commander and wanted to invite him to go with him. Jiang Sheng thought about the current situation and agreed to see how the "future lord" was doing.
When they met the commander of the bandits, they felt that he had no future at first sight. He also heard that their next target was Luxia County, his hometown, so he reminded the governor of Lu County and suggested that he should not leave. These bandits did not have much food in their hands and they had no money to eat. If there are too many, they won't last long. As long as they can't conquer it for a while, they will change direction and find the next hunting target.
However, Governor Lu only listened to half of what he said.
Jiang Sheng has no moral integrity.
With that friend watching, he had no choice but to pretend to surrender and follow the boating. After the matter was settled, he took his family and ran away. There was no way he could survive in this place. As a result, what happened that night caught him off guard. Jiang Sheng was not prepared to run away.
He came to see Shen Tang.
Then the vest fell off.
However, this was within his expectation.
If Shen Tang can't even see this, then Shen Jun's brain power is as good as that of a bandit commander.
Shen Tang: ""
She seems like such a dishonest person.
Would you easily accept a Jiang Sheng who is even more dishonest?
Not to mention anything else, Jiang Sheng's final move to save the refugees and bandits was very uncomfortable. This man used pricking on his hands!
Shen Tang deliberately wrote his emotions on his face.
She suspected that Jiang Sheng, like Qishan and the others, was as obsessed with the Lord.
Otherwise, why would you take the initiative to come to your door?
Shen Tang is well aware of his own physique.
Jiang Sheng also has his own explanation.
He didn't take action at that time, and the one who wanted to take action was his friend. Kang Shi's flooding of the Seventh Army would be a prelude to digging his own grave. By the way, Jiang Sheng also showed off his business capabilities.
