Chapter 33 Help Him Vent His Anger
Yan Xing said, "You've already broken off relations with them. They won't let you go."
Lu Chenyang said casually, "They won't let me go until we're at loggerheads. I represent the imperial court, and our positions dictate that either the east wind will prevail over the west wind, or the west wind will prevail over the east wind. It's bound to happen sooner or later."
Yan Xing nodded secretly in his heart at his courage.
"Young Master, how do you think they will deal with me?" Lu Chenyang suddenly looked at Yan Xing.
Yan Xing's heart trembled when he saw his eyes. His eyes were clear and bright, and he looked at him as if he could see into his heart.
For a man, he seemed too good-looking.
Yan Xing calmed himself down and said, "If I were a member of the Shen family, the first thing I would do is weaken your military power."
Lu Chenyang's confidence now lies in the fact that the garrison has become combat-ready and can fight against the Dongyi people. If he loses the garrison's military power, even if Lu Chenyang has great abilities, the Shen family will not take him seriously.
Yan Xing added, "They might use Du Wei to compete with you for power, but it could also be a coordinated attack from within." He looked at Lu Chenyang and said, "The medicine your maid has developed that can protect against miasma is a huge threat to the Dongyi people."
Therefore, the Shen family is likely to join forces with the Dongyi people to deal with the garrison and directly cripple the garrison, so that Lu Chenyang will not be able to jump around.
Lu Chenyang sighed: "I'm just a weak and helpless county magistrate, why do you bully me like this?"
Yan Xing glanced at him and said, "The weak and helpless will also feel innocent."
Lu Chenyang chuckled.
Yan Xing knew that he didn't take the Shen family's plan seriously at all.
Lu Chenyang really didn't take the Shen family seriously, but he didn't expect that the Shen family didn't attack him first, but attacked the people first.
The villagers that Lu Chenyang rescued when he passed through Shu followed him to Yanquan County. Lu Chenyang allocated land for them to live on and was building houses for them.
They just built a simple thatched house to spend the winter, and then slowly repaired the house after they settled down.
But last night, these newly built thatched houses were all burned down by someone.
Lu Chenyang was furious when he received the news.
He immediately lost his temper in the county government office, "How arrogant! Do you really think you can cover the sky with one hand in Yanquan County?!"
Lu Chenyang's face was gloomy, and he was shaking with anger. He hadn't been this angry in a long time. If the Shen family had come for him, he wouldn't have been so angry. Why did they attack those people?
They had fled with him because they couldn't survive. They worked so hard every day to build houses, just because they wanted a home, a place to stay.
Just when it was about to be completed, it was burned down by someone.
Tan Feng said with a guilty look on his face: "Sir, it's all my fault for not making arrangements properly."
Tan Feng had originally arranged for the escorts to patrol regularly to protect them, as this place was not peaceful. However, for over a month, the escorts had been training in the army and had not paid any attention to this place.
Tan Feng thought that no one would attack a group of people who were so poor that they were just human beings.
Lu Chenyang said, "I don't blame you." His expression was cold, "It's their fault."
After Lu Chenyang finished speaking, he turned and went into the study without even having dinner.
Zhao Xi brought Chang Jing back from outside. Zhao Xi was originally very happy: "Where is the master? I found something good today."
Tan Feng whispered, "In the study. The master is in a bad mood today." Then he told the story of the villagers' houses being burned down.
Then Zhao Xi also became furious.
But she was not angry about the house being burned down, but she was angry at these people. These people actually dared to make Lu Chenyang so angry!
Anger is harmful to your health! It’s so bad for adults to be so angry!
Zhao Xi's round face was tense: "It's the Shen family, right? I'll poison them to death!"
A passing yamen runner shuddered when he heard this and couldn't help but say, "It's not necessarily the Shen family who did it..."
Zhao Xi gave him a cold look, and the bailiff immediately stopped talking.
Tan Feng said, "I've already had someone investigate. They're a few street thieves who usually steal and do whatever they want as long as they're paid."
Zhao Xi was extremely angry: "Catch them all, catch them all."
She narrowed her eyes and spoke in a sinister tone, and Changjing shuddered inexplicably.
He had a premonition that if those who had offended Lu Chenyang were really in front of Zhao Xi, she would really poison them to death.
Lu Chenyang walked out of the study and was stunned when he saw them: "What are you all doing here?"
Zhao Xi's eyes were filled with heartache: "Sir, are you very angry? I'll ask Brother Feng to catch them and let you vent your anger, okay?"
Lu Chenyang smiled. "I'm fine now. I'm not angry anymore. I'm just a little... a little sad. They just wanted a family, and I've caused them trouble."
Zhao Xi said distressedly: "The money they used to build the house was given by the adults, and the adults usually don't even want to drink a cup of good tea."
Her eyes were red, she really felt sorry for Lu Chenyang.
How could the disaster victims have the money to build houses? They had already been exploited to the point where they had nothing left.
It was Lu Chenyang who gave them the money, saying it was a loan, and they would slowly pay it back after they settled down here.
This time we brought out more than a hundred people, which means a huge sum of money.
Usually, Lu Chenyang would eat by himself and would not even eat an egg, so he gave one egg to her.
Because Lu Chenyang said that she worked hard outside every day and should eat something good.
Lu Chenyang remembered, "Yes, the house needs to be rebuilt." He said to Zhao Xi, "Zhao Xi, give them some more money. The house must be built before the New Year."
Yan Xing walked out of the door and heard Lu Chenyang's words. His eyes darkened, and then he turned and left.
Lu Chenyang asked the soldiers to help the people rebuild their houses, and then organized a garrison to start patrols.
Lu Chenyang was busy for three days before he got everything settled.
As soon as Lu Chenyang returned to the county government office and sat down, he saw Xu Zhenghui hesitating and shrinking behind him.
You may not remember this person, but he was the county lieutenant of Yanquan County. He was the one who received Lu Chenyang on his first day at the county government office.
As a neutral party, after seeing Lu Chenyang's methods, he vaguely felt that Lu Chenyang was a little different from the county magistrates who had come before.
No, there are too many differences.
This made Xu Zhenghui start to hesitate whether to choose a side. Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Ning ran in from outside.
"Sir, the prince led his army to guard the foot of Fairy Mountain and robbed the bandits there! I heard that the goods were from the Shen family." Lu Ning said to Lu Chenyang excitedly.
Lu Chenyang was stunned. Zu Xingwei was from the Shen family. He was escorting the Shen family's caravan, and then... he was kidnapped by Yan Xing's people.
Is Yan Xing helping her vent her anger?
When the Shen family smashed the houses of ordinary people, he robbed the Shen family's caravan - for safety, the Shen family's caravans all went through Fairy Mountain and were escorted by Zu Xing.
Lu Chenyang chuckled, feeling a little warm in his heart.
He felt that he might have misunderstood Yan Xing before. Although he looked cold on the outside, he was actually a good person - Lord Lu always treated people with the greatest tolerance.
Lu Chenyang couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, but said seriously: "Nonsense, robbing the Shen family's caravan. I suspected that there were spies from the Dongyi people who had infiltrated the caravan, so I asked him to investigate. He must have found something suspicious."
Lu Ning: "...Your Excellency is wise." If anyone knows, it has to be you.
Lu Ning thought of the fear he felt when he was dominated by Lu Xueying when he was a child, but now it was the Shen family that was dominated, and he became happy again.
When he sees others suffering the same hardships as he has suffered, he feels that they are not so painful.
Lu Chenyang took Lu Ning out, and Xu Zhenghui was about to talk to him.
Lu Chenyang said, "Captain Xu, I have something to go out for. Let's talk when you come back."
Xu Zhenghui looked at his back as he left, feeling bitter.
It has been two months since Lu Chenyang came here. He never regarded the people in the county government as his confidants and has always used people he brought with him.
Who is trying to intimidate whom?
