Rebirth of the First Emperor

Chapter Six: Lu Yan's Plan

The Longgang fiefdom is located in Dingjiang County. The magistrate of Dingjiang County was transferred from another state half a year ago. He has no foundation in Dingjiang County, but it is said that this guy knows a lot of senior officials in the capital who can talk to him. Dingjiang

Dongzhou, where the county is located, is within the northern territory of the Chu Dynasty. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. The county magistrate here is a figure who covers the sky with one hand. Of course, this is the situation in Dingjiang County without Lu Qing, a seventh-grade county prince.

Down.

The county magistrate Lin Bin had ignored the Qipin County Marquis at the same level as himself for many years. Lu Qing was granted the title of Marquis at any time and had no right to manage local affairs, but Lu Qing was the feudal lord of Longgang fiefdom, and Longgang fiefdom was under the jurisdiction of Dingjiang County

, it can be said that Lin Bin helped Lu Qing manage the affairs of Longgang, but the taxes in Longgang were not managed by Lin Bin. This was tantamount to making wedding clothes for others, and it was a long-term kind. How could Lin Bin bear this?

?

Now that Lu Qing is dead, the backbone of the Lu family has also collapsed. According to court practice, the title of seventh-grade county marquis cannot be hereditary, so now is the time for Lin Bin to vent his anger.

"Sir, Lu Yan is here." Lin Bin, who was thinking about how to rectify the Lu Mansion, suddenly received a report from the Yamen servant, and he was overjoyed.

"Lv Yan, a common man, pays homage to the county magistrate." Lu Yan's attitude was very low-key. Perhaps it was because Lu Yan also knew that he had no support now. The Lu family was not far from being destroyed without Lu Qing, the county prince.

I'll keep a low profile!

"Huh, Lu Yan, you, the eldest son of the Lu family, will also have this day! Weren't you very awesome before? Now you don't bow your head and respect me when you see me, but now it's too late to say anything." Lin Bin thought in his heart, guessing

Lu Yan really made Lin Bin lose face in the past, so Lin Bin must have been so resentful towards Lu Yan! "Get up and talk." Lin Bin said slowly after a long time, but before that Lu Yan

He always maintained a greeting posture.

"Thank you, sir." Lu Yan didn't seem to dare to complain about this. Seeing Lu Yan's respectful attitude, Lin Bin laughed proudly in his heart and couldn't help but feel comfortable. "What did you come to see me for today?

"When the county magistrate saw Lu Yan's attitude, his tone became more and more arrogant, full of official tone.

"The county Marquis Luqing, the father of the grassroots, was murdered by thieves not long ago. The grassroots wanted to invite the county magistrate to attend the funeral. After all, no matter what," Lu Yan was interrupted by the county magistrate before he could finish his words.

He waved his hand to stop Lu Yan's remarks, and then pointed to the pile of documents on the desk. The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

"Sir, this is a bit wrong. After all, my father was also a seventh-rank county prince in the imperial court during his lifetime. As a local official, he didn't even come to host a funeral. If this word spreads to the ears of the world, wouldn't it make people laugh?" Lu Yan said this.

Suddenly he changed his groveling attitude before entering the door, and there was a hint of ridicule in his tone, but of course it was more angry. "Asshole, I don't need you to teach me how to do things, you should take care of yourself.

!" The county magistrate shook his sleeves and said angrily.

However, the county magistrate's anger was replaced by Lu Yan's disdainful smile. Just as the magistrate was about to get angry, he saw Lu Yan running to the pile of books and picking up a book and flipping through it. "Your Excellency, county magistrate, what's the matter?

I'm really busy with official duties. Didn't this family land deed case happen a month ago? It's really amazing, my parents are officials." After saying that, Lu Yan left the county government office with his two servants, leaving his face turning blue and white.

The county magistrate Lin Bin was stunned in place.

"Sir, it is not a good choice for Lu Mansion for us to be at odds with the county magistrate now!" After leaving the county office, one of the servants advised with some worry. These two servants are Lu Yan's confidants, so some words still remain.

It can be said. After the servant finished speaking, the servant standing on the other side also nodded and agreed, because the behavior of their young master today was so thought-provoking. After the arrogant and domineering young master entered the county government office, he showed a humiliating and then angry look on the face of the county magistrate.

What kind of medicine is in this gourd?

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring down this stupid pig like Lin Bin this time. Isn't he just someone who knows a few officials in the capital? This time I want him to never turn over." Finally, Lu Yan showed a gloomy smile,

The scene of meeting the county government just now is still fresh in his mind. How could Lu Yan give up? Besides, Lin Bin was originally a stepping stone in Lu Yan's plan.

Lu Yan's confident tone made the two servants following him heave a sigh of relief. If he offended the county magistrate without being sure, judging from the current situation of the Lu family, he would only be in for bad luck.

When Lu Yan returned to the house with his two servants, the funeral hall had been decorated with elegiac couplets and Lu Qing's body was also placed in the coffin. As soon as Lu Yan came home, someone immediately brought him a mourning dress.

Liang took Liang and put it on and then went straight to the mourning hall. This was a full image of a filial son. At the mourning hall, Lu Yan announced that the county magistrate refused to come to express condolences. No one knew what the meaning was, but Lu Yan

However, the image of a filial son was established among the Lu family's servants.

By the Linghe River, Mengjun was inconsolable with tears as she cried, and it was not until dark that her mother who came out to look for her persuaded her to go back. However, when Mengjun returned home, she didn't want to eat or drink, and looked at

At this scene, Meng Junru's mother, Meng Youlan, couldn't help but feel sad. She had also heard about Lu Liang. Meng Youlan, an honest child like Lu Liang, looked very good to her, and to her daughters Meng Junru and Lu Liang.

Meng Youlan didn't object to the matter, but now such a tragedy has happened.

"Jun Ru, I've heard everything. Hey, Lu Liang is really a good kid, but it's such a pity!" Meng Youlan sighed and said to her daughter. Looking at her daughter's haggard appearance, Meng Youlan felt heartbroken.

, so he quickly spoke out to comfort him, but what he heard in exchange was Meng Junru's whimpering and choking sounds. Meng Junru's voice had long been hoarse by the Ling River.

"Mother, I have to observe filial piety for Lu Liang for three years." After a while, Meng Junru stopped sobbing and said to Meng Youlan. Meng Youlan looked at Meng Junru for a long time before she nodded heavily.

, if it weren’t for Lu Liang, maybe her daughter would still be the daughter living in isolation at this moment, and here only Lu Liang is sincere to Meng Junru, so Meng Youlan agreed after thinking for a long time.

"It's just, Junru, have you thought about it?" Meng Youlan asked. Keeping mourning for Lu Liang for three years is equivalent to admitting that she is Lu Liang's widow. The days to come will be even more difficult for Meng Junru.

"Mother, Jun Ru has considered it very clearly." Meng Junru nodded vigorously, and then passed out. It seemed that today's incident had greatly stimulated her.

Meng Youlan put her daughter on the bed, looking at her daughter's sad and beautiful face, she couldn't help but sigh, secretly feeling sad.

The next morning, a fast horse also left the capital and headed straight for Dongzhou. The man on the horse was the most elite guard in the palace. At the same time, he led four of his subordinates and walked down the Linghe River to look for him.

The chief servant of the Lu family, who was looking for Ying Zheng's body, could only return with anxiety after searching for Ying Zheng's body for most of the night.

The Lu Mansion invited monks and Taoists to perform rituals. The Lu Mansion, which was originally planning to hold a birthday banquet, suddenly held a funeral, but the lively scene still did not diminish. The nearby squires who had prepared generous gifts hurriedly gathered those who

The red packaging of the gifts was torn off and replaced with white ones, and many gentry actually left directly. In their eyes, the Lu Mansion was no longer worth their kindness, because the news that the county magistrate did not come to preside over the funeral had already reached them.

In their ears, this seemed to them to be a precursor to the decline of the Lu family.

Looking at the funeral list, many wealthy people from Dingjiang County did not come to attend the ceremony. Lu Yan sneered, "Just wait, or in five days I will knock your chins off, and the county magistrate will be the first to do the surgery."

." Lu Yan has received news that the imperial court will send an imperial envoy to personally investigate the Lu family's problems. The Lu family is not as simple as it seems. This is a secret that Lu Yan only learned not long ago, and it is this secret

Let Lu Yan dare to give the county magistrate eye drops after his father died.

Lu Yan was confident that he had done a good job. At least it would not be a problem for the imperial envoy to personally recommend someone as a filial and honest person. As long as he was recommended as a filial and honest person, someone would naturally get the Longgang fiefdom for him.
