"Where's Mr. Liu? Didn't he come back?"

Old man Xu stuck his head out and looked around. Kou Liu replied: "Brother has never come back. He is quite busy over there."

Old man Xu was a little disappointed. He sighed, "I was still thinking of taking Mr. Liu as my grandson-in-law, but I didn't expect him to leave like this! What a pity, what a pity!"

Kou Liu had no time to continue listening to what Old Man Xu said. He muttered a few perfunctory words and hurried into the county government office.

Old Man Xu watched him walk in and shook his head again.

When Lu Qubing saw Kou Liu, he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes. He jumped up suddenly and walked quickly to Kou Liu's side. He seemed to have forgotten that Kou Liu was the disaster he hated most.

Xianbei', enthusiastically held his hand.

"Since you left, there has been no news. I wrote two letters to Brother Taozi, but he never replied to me. Is that all there is to say about Liyang?"

When talking about this incident, Lu Qubing felt particularly aggrieved.

Kou Liu hurriedly said: "Brother is really busy in Liyang."

"Come, come, sit down, someone, get some tea!"

Lu Qubing pulled Kou Liu to sit down, his eyes were particularly bright, "How are you doing? Where is Brother Taozi? How is he? How are you getting along with the local officials?"

Kou Liu hesitated a little, "Everything is fine. My brother gets along well with the local officials. They are all very polite."

"Oh? It seems like a lot of things happened over there?"

Kou Liu smiled bitterly, "Actually, I don't know. I have been running around these days. I just returned to Liyang yesterday. As soon as I returned, I heard Yao Xiong talking about what happened there."

"What did he say?"

Kou Liu hesitated and relayed Yao Xiong's words to Lu Qubing.

Yao Xiong's words are naturally a bit exaggerated. He fought against the powerful in Nancheng and killed six thousand thieves. He beheaded the thieves' chieftain in a formation and blood flowed like a river. He attacked the rebels in Dongli and destroyed their clan, leaving no chickens or dogs behind.

Lu Qubing was dumbfounded.

"Is the Li family in Liyang the family of the late Li Gou, the official minister?"

"I don't know. Anyway, their family is dead. I thought Yao Xiong was bluffing me. I went to check before I left. They are indeed dead. There is no place to hang the heads on the city gate. They have poles.

Hanging outside, the drainage ditches of the streets in Nancheng are still black, full of stench, and full of rats and wild dogs. It is really scary, even scarier than our east city."

"I haven't gone to see Dongli, but it should be about the same."

Listening to Kou Liu's words, Lu Qubing looked a little confused, "The traitors who harm the people should be killed, but these people all have backgrounds. Taozi is just the county magistrate. If he kills everyone like this, how can the prefect forgive him?"

"The prefect seems to think highly of his brother. He gave me a sword called Huajian. I heard it was the sword of the past Wei Emperor."

"Hua collar sword???"

"Yes, it seems to be a pretty name."

"You say it, you keep saying it"

Lu Qubing looked directly at Kou Liu's mouth, listening to his jerky description of Li Yang.

Most of them were heard by Kou Liu. He was in Liyang, either catching up on sleep during the day or going out to deliver letters. He was not involved in any major events. He heard it all when Yao Xiong was bragging.

His mouth was dry as he spoke, but Lu Qubing still didn't let him go. Lu Qubing not only liked telling stories, he also liked listening to them.

After confirming that Kou Liu could never tell anything again, Lu Qubing let Kou Liu go in despair.

He took out the letter from his arms again and handed it to Kou Liu, "Give this letter to Brother Taozi in person for me! Tell him to reply to me!!"

"only!!"

"You also have to work hard. Don't just be an errand. You have to find opportunities to study more and increase your abilities. Otherwise, how will you continue to follow Tao Zi in the future?"

"I understand, thank you Mr. Lu!"

Kou Liu left in a hurry, Taozi only gave him three days' leave, and he had to return to Liyang early.

After sending Kou Liu away, Lu Qubing walked into the county government office with a smile on his face.

In the backyard, County Magistrate Lu Yao was smiling, eating tea and looking through the many documents in front of him.

Cheng'an received great treatment in his hands.

There is peace inside and outside, the people can barely live and work in peace and contentment, there are no bandits outside, and there are no cruel officials inside. Everything is as expected by Duke Yang.

The land grants have been distributed, the deceased have been properly accommodated, no disease or rebellion has been caused, and the county government has obeyed its orders and worked together as one.

Lu Yao couldn't help but laugh. It was indeed a clever plan to send Liu Taozi away. Once he left, everything got better and he had nothing to worry about.

Although there was great turmoil in the temple, it had nothing to do with Lu Yao. He had some friendship with both Yang Min and King Changshan.

"Mr. Lu!! It's not good!!"

Hearing an exclamation, Lu Yao choked on his tea and started coughing. Chief Qian rushed in in a panic, sweating profusely.

Lu Yao cleared his throat and looked at him, "What happened?"

"Liu Taozi! It's Liu Taozi!"

"What?! He's back again?!"

"No, Liu Taozi caused big trouble in Liyang!!"

Master Qian gasped and said intermittently: "He killed several wealthy families in Liyang. I heard that he killed tens of thousands of people at one time and the moat turned into a river of blood."

Lu Yao pursed his lips and said, "Bad words!"

"What's the population of Liyang? How many thousands were killed? Then Liyang is an empty city! Also, Liyang has no moat at all!"

"Liu Taozi sent people to the county government and met with Lu Xiancheng. Now everyone in the county government knows that it is true! Several wealthy families in Liyang County were killed by Liu Taozi. He said it was

They killed all the chickens and dogs and burned down all their mansions."

Lu Yao stared at Master Qian's book dumbfounded and was speechless for a long time.

He didn't believe that Liu Taozi killed tens of thousands of people in Liyang, but to say that Liu Taozi killed everyone in Liyang sounded like something he could do.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly picked up the tea and put it in his mouth.

"Mr. Lu, what should we do now? It was you who pushed him up with all your strength, and now he is killing people. Do they think it has something to do with you?"

Lu Yao's hand holding the tea trembled and he almost spilled the tea.

He stared blankly ahead, ate his tea stiffly, and said nothing.

The county government office was particularly lively.

Everyone was talking about this matter happily and excitedly. When they talked about Liu Taozi's incident in Liyang, they looked very proud and proud.

Old man Xu stood at the door, happily listening to the words of the people coming and going.

The sky was getting dark, a curfew was imposed in the city, and Old Man Xu also closed the door. As an official, he could live in the county government office or at home, it was not fixed, as long as there was no delay in closing the door and opening the door.

On this day, he went home.

His home was not far from the county government office. After passing through an alley, he arrived at his home.

Returning to the courtyard, he closed the door and walked into the inner room.

A beautiful girl is sitting in the house. The beautiful girl is not yet twenty years old. Her skin is white and tender, her eyes are clear, and she smiles with tiger teeth. She is really beautiful and makes people feel itchy. She is sitting on the bed, sewing.

What was she carrying? When she saw old man Xu walking in, she quickly put down her things.

Old man Xu sat opposite her expressionlessly and looked towards the inner room, "Come out."

A middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance came out of the inner room, exuding a foul smell. He waved his hand, and the beautiful girl quickly got up and left, and he sat in that position.

"Liu Taozi sent someone back to the county office today, but he never came back. This woman came for nothing, and there was no chance for Liu Taozi to meet her."

Sitting opposite the old man, he looked like a secret agent from the Northern Zhou Dynasty who had contacted the store and was a dung picker.

Old Man Xu complained: "It's a pity that this kid just left like this. When he was in Cheng'an, we didn't even have to do anything. Once he made a move, it was a 'big credit'. Just watch him perform at his best. The generals all praised us."

Several times, they have paid special attention to us. Now, they want to let those people in Liyang take advantage of them."

The dung picker didn't answer. He said coldly: "I'm looking for you today to announce an important event."

"The King of Heaven has officially called him the Emperor, and he has given King Wen Tian the posthumous title of Emperor Wen. From now on, everyone will be called His Majesty, not the King of Heaven."

"ah??"

Old Man Xu was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Okay! Great! I have finally ascended the throne and become the emperor! It should have been like this a long time ago!!"

He quickly raised his head again and asked, "Has my general ever been promoted to a noble rank?"

The originally calm dung picker also showed some displeasure at this moment, "No."

"Since you have ascended the throne as emperor, how can you not join my family as a general??"

"The general has never been promoted, but others have been promoted to the title of General Zhuzhu. Do you still remember his son who was conferred the title of General of Hussars at the age of sixteen?"

"Remember, your name is Yang Yang Jian?"

"Yes, even he has become a county official. But he has not been conferred the title of general in my family. He is still a county official to this day."

"Well, my general has made a lot of contributions, but in the end, this title is not as good as a baby?"

"When can I meet the Lord Ming?"
