Zhang Xuansu said slowly: "Young master, Lu Mingyou is usually silent in the court and does not show off his talents. He has been in the official department for many years and has no outstanding achievements, but he has not made any mistakes or omissions in his conduct.
They are all watertight and seem to be ordinary and unremarkable. But looking at the grudge between the young master and the Lu family this time, the officials in the court are against you one after another. Come to think of it, these people usually have no friendship with Lu Mingyou on the surface.
But privately, there must be a collusion. Lu Mingyou actually didn't do anything about Lu Mingyu's death and didn't jump out as you thought. This shows how deep this man is."
Du He sat on the chair and said with a smile: "Lu Mingyou, this guy is quite interesting... However, the second round between this young master and the Lu family is over."
In the first round, Lu Mingan framed Du Jinwei and wanted the secret recipe for making glass. Du He used the trick and asked Mengqi to steal the secret recipe for making gunpowder and hand it over to the Lu family. More than 30 members of Lu Mingan's family were killed in the explosion. Wang Cheng
Others jumped out to avenge the Lu family. All the witnesses and evidence were eliminated one by one by Du He. Wang Cheng was demoted. Du He won.
In the second round, Lu Mingyou personally took action and used two poisonous tactics. Du He responded skillfully and killed Lu Mingyu, but the county seat of Hu County became a dead city. Both sides had their own victory or defeat.
The third round is about to begin.
Zhang Xuansu couldn't help but ask: "What should we do next?"
Du He said: "Wait!"
Just one word.
But Zhang Xuansu felt that the Prince Consort's Mansion could no longer afford to wait.
He said: "Master, all business in Hu County has stopped now. With the city management team and black-robed judges here, no one dares to stir up trouble in a short period of time, but so many people gather here for a long time and it becomes uncontrollable."
Ah, if we just wait, wouldn't we just fall into Lu Mingyou's plan?"
Du He suddenly laughed: "Lu Mingyou's target is me, but my target is not just him."
Zhang Xuansu frowned and pondered for a long time, then suddenly realized and widened his eyes.
He thought he had mastered the art of predicting people's hearts.
However, compared with Du He, it is still more than twelve lanes behind.
Poor those monsters in the think tank, they calculate the battle situation every day and are so proud of themselves. Little do they know that what a dozen of them spent the whole morning on, the young master figured it out in the blink of an eye.
…
Half a month later.
Huxian County is like a huge explosive bag that will explode as soon as you poke it.
Jingzhao Mansion, the backyard of the government office.
An iron-clad government office and smooth officials.
The newly appointed governor of Jingzhao is Liu Da who came from the imperial court.
At this moment, Liu Da, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, was enjoying tea in the backyard. There were beautiful little maids on the left and right, fanning themselves.
In the pavilion opposite, behind a table, a storyteller was telling historical stories from the Three Kingdoms period.
A young boy stood next to him and said slowly: "This morning alone, there were thousands of people coming to Chang'an City from Hu County. Among them, they were all scolding the consort Du He and Wei Shuyu. I heard that
, people in Hu County are already starving to death."
Liu Da snorted coldly: "Du He is asking for his own death. What good results can come from his confrontation with the Lu family? It's not like he pitied those innocent people... Send people to keep an eye on Hu County. Sooner or later something will happen in Hu County.
, we can’t go too early, and we can’t go too late, otherwise, we will have to bear the responsibility. This responsibility belongs to Du He and Wei Shuyu. Look, Wei Shuyu was fooled by Du He in the first place.
He was tricked into serving as the county magistrate, and now once Hu County is finished, he will be finished too."
I think back when Du He left Hu County, the post of Hu County Magistrate was vacant.
Liu Da was also watching, and he was working up and down, preparing to let his nephew serve as a substitute.
Unexpectedly, Wei Shuyu appeared halfway and disrupted his plan.
From then on, he didn't like Hu County, let alone Wei Shuyu.
At this moment, a boy hurried in and reported: "Sir, the magistrate of Hu County, Wei Shuyu, wants to see you."
Liu Da laughed and said, "Cao Cao is about to arrive. Wei Shuyu comes to Jingzhao Mansion at this time. I'm afraid he wants to ask for something from me. I want to see if there is any other way to let him in."
After a short time, the servants brought Wei Shuyu up.
Wei Shuyu's hair was disheveled, his eyes were red and swollen, bloodshot, and his face was pale. It looked like he had not rested for a long time.
"Wei Shuyu, who is late in life, pays homage to Mr. Liu!" He looked serious and greeted him respectfully.
Liu Da nodded with a smile, asked someone to bring a chair to Wei Shuyu, and then asked: "County Magistrate Wei does not go to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason. Why did he arrive at Jingzhao Mansion today?"
Wei Shuyu said: "Master Liu is really good at predicting things. Wansheng came to visit today, but he came to borrow money!"
"Borrowing money? It is said that Hu County is the richest in the world, and the county government of Hu County is even richer than my Jingzhao Mansion. Magistrate Wei, don't be joking." Liu Da said in a sarcastic tone, with a very teasing tone.
Wei Shuyu looked serious, "To be honest with Mr. Liu, Hu County was indeed very wealthy before, and the monthly taxes were tens of thousands of dollars. But you also know the situation now. For more than a month, the tax bureau has not collected a penny."
Well, Huxian County is undergoing a large-scale construction project. We are spending money like water, and we have to repay loans from Wudi Bank. We can no longer make ends meet. Nowadays, people are living without a livelihood, and there are more and more disaster victims. As the magistrate of Huxian County, Wansheng
Of course, we cannot ignore death, so I ask Lord Liu to lend Huxian some money to help the victims, what do you think?"
Liu Da asked curiously: "Why don't you borrow money from Wudi Bank? Why don't you borrow money from Dream Group? You know, the boss of Wudi Bank is Her Royal Highness Princess Runan, and Dream Group belongs to Du He, and Du
The rich man can be the enemy of the country."
Hearing this, Wei Shuyu looked bitter.
"Mr. Liu, you don't know something. Now that the Dream Group is like a mud Buddha crossing the river, it can't protect itself. How can it care about the life and death of the people of Hu County... Mr. Liu, money has become the last hope of Hu County. Wan Sheng begs you
Help!" Wei Shuyu said.
Liu Da waved his hand: "Magistrate Wei, if it's anything else, I will definitely help you, but borrowing money is impossible. If you don't believe me, go and take a look. My Jingzhao Mansion looks bright and beautiful, but the money warehouse and granary are empty. Now
It’s a time of crisis, so I don’t have the energy to help you, so you can do your best!”
Wei Shuyu nodded, stood up, and said with emotion: "Hu County's last hope has been shattered."
He turned around to say goodbye and prepared to leave, and then said sincerely: "Master Liu, please keep my secret for today's matter."
"It's easy to talk!"
Liu Da agreed readily.
However, as soon as Wei Shuyu left, Liu Da called his servants over: "Send the loan to Wei Shuyu immediately. Remember, the sooner the better."
"yes!"
Soon, pieces of news spread from the Jingzhao Mansion Office.
