Chapter 89: Second Brother Comes



Jian Yu was not surprised when he received the imperial edict. He had foreseen this day when he was sure of his life experience, but he still felt unhappy.

The eunuch who delivered the edict had a look of pity. He didn't know how this new noble had offended someone. Although he was a marquis, he was sent far away to guard the imperial mausoleum. Isn't that miserable?

Jian Yu took the imperial edict in silence and asked, "Does your majesty have any oral instructions for me to take up my post?"

The eunuch shook his head and said, "No." Then he whispered, "If you have anyone to say goodbye to, please do

so as soon as possible. Otherwise, once you leave Yanjing, you may not know when you can come back." Jian Yu nodded and said, "Thank you." He took out a purse from his sleeve and stuffed it into the eunuch's pocket, "Thank you for your trip."

The eunuch did not refuse. After taking the purse, he said, "I have to go back to report, so I'll take my leave now."

Jian Yu bowed and said, "Goodbye."

When the eunuch was gone, Jian Yu's deputy Luo Xiancai said anxiously: "Commander, what's going on?"

Jian Yu shook his head: "Nothing."

Luo Xian frowned: "Who is behind you? The Golden Armor Guards or..."

"Neither." Jian Yu interrupted him, "Okay, since the imperial edict has been issued, there is no turning back. As for you, I will find a way to push you to the position of commander of the Red Armor Guards, but you should also pay more attention to it."

"Commander!" Luo Xian's eyes suddenly turned red. Jian Yu

suddenly smiled softly: "I have my own plans, I don't need you to act like a child, it's so annoying."

Luo Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Commander, this... How can I explain this to my brothers!"

"Just tell the truth. But you have to keep an eye on those troublemakers and don't let them cause trouble."

"Commander, don't worry, I... I will..." Luo Xian couldn't say anything more.

Jian Yu patted him on the shoulder and turned to walk out of the camp.

If it were in the past, he would probably be confused for a long time, but now he has a very clear idea of ​​the path he wants to take. It doesn't matter if he is promoted or demoted, or guarding the imperial mausoleum. From childhood to adulthood, he has always taken what he wants by himself!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of Lu Zheng. This was probably the only accident in his life, but it was a pity...

Jian Yu shook his head in self-mockery. He could no longer tell his feelings for him. It

was just that no matter the Lu Zheng of the past or the Lu Zheng of the present, they had nothing to do with him. Jian Yu thought so, and his heart gradually became cold.

At this moment, Lu Zheng's situation was not good either. It was all because of Lu Xun standing opposite him.

In the original owner's memory, this second brother had been stationed outside, and the impression of him was vague. But now the tall and strong young man standing in front of Lu Zheng completely covered up those vague memories.

Lu Xun was a man of generous character. He patted Lu Zheng on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, I heard about your stories of solving cases in Xiangyang County. You are a man of courage. You are from our Lu family!"

Lu Zheng smiled bitterly. He didn't know how to explain to Lu Xun. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "General Lu, let's talk about the current situation!"

Lu Xun frowned. Among the three brothers of the Lu family, he looked most like his father, Duke Lu Qing of England. As long as he didn't smile, he looked very serious and difficult to approach. He snorted, "Why? You don't even call me second brother?"

Lu Zheng felt a headache. He didn't know whether the Lu family had told Lu Xun what happened. He tried his best to change the topic to the right track, but Lu Xun kept making a fuss. When Lu Zheng met him, he could only say that it was a scholar meeting a soldier and he could not explain his reason clearly. In the end, he could only give in and shouted weakly: "Second brother."

"That's right." Lu Xun was satisfied, and then he asked the deputy general to open the map.

He rushed all the way here and figured out the situation here. Yu Maotong was dismissed, and the current county lieutenant of Nanxia County was the former Yanwu school lieutenant, that is, another deputy of Yu Maotong, Hang Jue. Hang Jue was old and wanted to stay in this position peacefully until his old age, so he turned a blind eye to Fang Rong's power struggle. Who would have thought that Fang Rong and Yu Maotong were both dead, and the position of Nanxia County Lieutenant actually fell on him.

Hang Jue was not happy, but felt very troublesome, so when Lu Xun came, he immediately handed over the military affairs in his hands to him. Anyway, Nanxia County had no soldiers now, and he felt that it was better for him to be a commander without troops.

Lu Xun also considered many situations on the way here. Of course, he knew what happened to Lu Zheng, and he also stood on the side of his eldest brother. Besides, the truth came out in the end, and it was them who were sorry for this youngest brother. Lu Xun had thought of taking this opportunity to get some credit for his brother. If the newly promoted county lieutenant was interested, he might as well take him to drink some soup. If not, he would have plenty of ways to deal with him.

The problem was that the new county lieutenant was too interested. He just acted as a hands-off manager. Even Lu Xun had to admit his decisiveness.

There were only Lu Xun, Lu Zheng and Hang Jue in the meeting room. Hang Jue dozed off in his chair, so Lu Xun could only discuss with Lu Zheng.

Lu Xun's soldiers were all infantry. He didn't bring his troops here to kill pirates, but to scare the Sea Dragon King to prevent these pirates from plundering the city's defense-weak Nanxia County. Lu Xun quickly arranged the troops, but left an extra 500 men in Qingxi County.

Lu Zheng frowned: "Qingxi County is not a military stronghold, so it does not need so many troops to guard it." Lu

Xun smiled lightly, turned his head and asked Hang Jue: "Hang County Lieutenant, what do you think?"

Hang Jue was not really dozing off. Seeing Lu Xun throwing the question to him, he pretended to wake up and coughed lightly: "General Lu is an expert in military affairs. I think what General Lu said makes sense."

Although Hang Jue said it was useless, his official position was here. He had spoken, and Lu Zheng could no longer refuse.

The matter of the troops was settled, and Hang Jue laughed and said goodbye and left.

After Hang Jue left, Lu Zheng asked, "Second brother, what do you mean?"

Lu Xun touched his chin and said, "Do you really think I know nothing? You want to investigate the case, but are you going to rely on those weak detectives in your county government?"

Lu Zheng said nothing.

Lu Xun rubbed his hair vigorously and said, "I know everything about the family. You have been wronged."

Lu Zheng felt bad. He wanted to tell Lu Xun that he had nothing to do with the Lu family, but he swallowed the words in the end. Seeing

that he no longer objected, Lu Xun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As the commander-in-chief of Xiangyang County, I cannot leave for too long. I will go back when the situation here is stable. My deputy general Zhang Xingze will stay. If you have any problems, you can ask him for help."

Lu Zheng did not refuse anymore and nodded in agreement.

After this matter was resolved, Lu Xun finally felt relieved. In fact, he did not have a deep impression of his younger brother. Now that he suddenly knew that he had changed his mind, although he was a little surprised, he was not as disgusted as the Yun family. Instead, he felt very curious. However, he knew that Lu Zheng would not want others to mention these things. So after Lu Zheng agreed, he stopped talking about family matters and asked Lu Zheng about the customs and practices of Qingxi County.

Lu Zheng was relieved to hear this. Although he had only been in Qingxi County for a short time, he had done a lot of homework before, so he had something to say. Lu Xun was excited and wanted to go and eat the famous "three ways to eat fresh fish" in Qingxi County.

Although Lu Zheng had been in Qingxi County for a long time, he encountered all kinds of things as soon as he arrived, so he had only heard of the "Fresh Fish Three Ways" but had never seen it. Now that Lu Xun mentioned it, he readily agreed.

This "Fresh Fish Three Ways" is a famous dish in Qingxi County, but every household can make it, and the taste of each household is different. Lu Zheng got the advice of the locals and found a small, inconspicuous restaurant.

When the waiter heard that they were here to eat "Fresh fish in three ways", he immediately smiled and said, "Sir, you have come to the right place. If we talk about which restaurant in Qingxi County serves the most authentic 'Fresh fish in three ways', it must be our Hechun Restaurant!"

Lu Xun immediately became interested: "Oh? What do you mean?"

The waiter was eloquent and immediately said, "This fish must be caught that day in Fanyun Lake. The pickled cabbage in the fish is our boss's secret recipe. And now in the fish soup The tofu in it must be made by Jiang Sanniang herself."

Lu Zheng felt that the name "Jiang Sanniang" sounded familiar, and couldn't help asking, "Who is this Jiang Sanniang?"

The waiter pointed to a tofu stall across the street and said, "That's Jiang Sanniang's shop."

Lu Zheng and Lu followed his finger and saw a plump woman picking up tofu neatly. A part of her arm was exposed, which was even whiter and more delicate than the tofu.

Lu Xun sneered, "Since you are going out to do business, why do you have to wear mourning clothes? Aren't you afraid that the customers will think it's unlucky?"

The waiter sighed, "This Jiang Sanniang is also a miserable person..."

Listening to the waiter's story about Jiang Sanniang, Lu Zheng finally remembered who she was. She was the woman that the butcher Li Si had loved before. Her husband was killed by a bandit in red, so she swore not to marry again unless the bandit was caught.

The waiter was still talking, "Previously, the new county lieutenant Lu said he wanted to catch the red-clothed thief. When Jiang Sanniang heard the news, she was so happy that she gave all of us neighbors some gifts, saying that if county lieutenant Lu really caught the red-clothed thief, she would go and kowtow to him. But who knew that so much time has passed and there is still no news, and Jiang Sanniang also..."

Lu Xun looked at Lu Zheng with a strange expression. Seeing that the waiter was about to continue, he coughed twice and said, "Alright, alright, serve the food quickly!"

The waiter smiled and said, "Okay, you two wait a moment."

After the waiter left, Lu Zheng raised his head, but his face was full of shame. There were too many things going on recently, and he actually forgot the challenge he had given to the red-clothed thief. He didn't want to disappoint others' expectations.

Seeing his uneasy look, Lu Xun couldn't help but laugh and said, "You also believe the nonsense of that waiter?"

Lu Zheng whispered in defense, "I have a responsibility..."

"What is your responsibility?" Lu Xun said, "You can see clearly that woman is not simple. I'm afraid her light body kung fu ranks at the top in the whole Nanxia County."

Lu Zheng looked at him in shock: "This... How is this possible?!" If Jiang Sanniang really knows kung fu, can Bao Zheng still not see it?

Lu Xun knew what Lu Zheng was thinking at a glance, and sneered, "As for the constable next to you, he can only see some superficial kung fu, but he can't see through the kung fu of this woman."
