Chapter 369 Sincere Apology
Lu Songli just found it funny that they were using the Qin family's preferential treatment to threaten them.
Didn't Song Mo know about this? Before, her father was making a fuss about being exiled, and he was not satisfied with the location. He wanted to be exiled to the Liaodong County area in Pingzhou. Even a fool could see that he wanted to take care of his daughter nearby.
Then it’s normal to take care of my son-in-law’s family nearby.
This was also tacitly agreed by Song Mo. As long as some things were not brought to the surface, Song Mo would turn a blind eye.
Shi Xue and her servant left angrily.
After driving the man away, Qin Sheng poured himself a full glass of water. "How could there be such a person? How shameless!"
Lu Songli smiled and shook her head, it was indeed quite shameless.
Qin Sheng suddenly remembered how he had brought this man here. He glanced at his wife and asked cautiously, "Lili, you won't blame me, will you?"
"Why should I blame you? They are just toads wanting to eat swan flesh. It's wishful thinking." She doesn't like the victim-blaming theory.
"Yes, that's right." Qin Sheng nodded quickly, then muttered, "She even said I saved her." Is this how she repays him? She's actually trying to break him up with his wife?
Lu Songli jokingly said, "I can't repay the life-saving grace, I can only repay it with hatred."
Qin Sheng opened his eyes wide, "That's exactly what happened."
At this time, Qin's mother and daughters-in-law Cai, Nie Yunniang, and Su Jing came over to inquire about the situation.
After the Qin family sisters-in-law figured out the whole story, they looked at each other and thought, this - being too beautiful is also a kind of trouble.
"I heard that she is the daughter of Governor Shi Tao. Will there be any trouble?" Qin's mother said worriedly.
Qin's mother and several of Qin's sisters-in-law were not interested in Shi Xue's suggestion that Qin Sheng divorce his wife and remarry, and then ask her father to redress the Qin family's wrongdoing. Her daughter-in-law, their sixth brother's wife, was so good. Not only was she a kind person, but she was also very capable. It was only a matter of time before the Qin family was redressed.
Lu Songli comforted Qin's mother, "Don't worry, mother, I can handle it."
"I'm just afraid of getting my in-laws into trouble."
"Don't worry, it won't be that easy for them to bully my dad."
Lu Songli had been wondering how to get Shi Tao to give up his position. Should she give Zheng Xun, then the Liaodong prefect, a free reward, a promotion, like she had done when she was trying to seize Liaodong Commandery, or should she simply kick Shi Tao out of his position?
Now it seems that there is no point in giving him any credit, just kick him out!
It is both easy and difficult to get rid of Shi Tao, who is loyal to the Dali court and the royal family.
She had already made plans when she had the idea.
In Lu Songli's eyes, Shi Tao was now just a human-shaped seal, holding up a place.
As soon as the time is right, she will kick Shi Tao out of the position of governor and help her father take it.
And this opportunity will come in the near future.
When the disaster in Nanyang was perfectly resolved, that was the day of Shi Tao's death!
On the other hand, Lu Desheng was summoned by the governor Shi Tao.
At this time, he was in the Liaoxi County Governor's Mansion, and was severely criticized for the fact that the brothers Qin Yan and Qin Sheng joined forces to destroy Liufu Village.
At the main seat, Shi Tao said calmly, "Lü Desheng, you passed this time."
Liaoxi County Magistrate Lu Yiliang echoed, "Exactly. As the governor of Liaodong County, why do you interfere with the security and defense of Liaoxi County? You've overstepped your bounds!"
The two governors of Xuantu and Lelang counties also shook their heads, "Lü Desheng, your behavior is unacceptable."
Lu Desheng cried out for justice, "Sir Governor, there is nothing I can do. It is really hard to go against the will of the people."
Lu Yiliang sneered and looked at Lu Desheng, "Make it up, let's see how you make it up!"
Lu Desheng hummed in his heart, I’ll make it up for you!
"Liufu Village is too close to Liaodong County. The people living west of Wuliu County near Yandang Mountain live in fear every day, fearing that the bandits from Liufu Village will rush down and kill them if they are not careful."
"Recently, too many ordinary people have gone to the government and begged us to send troops to suppress the bandits. As the parents of the people, shouldn't we make decisions for them?"
Lu Yiliang: "You are making decisions for your people, so you can reach into my territory?"
Lu Desheng had always disliked him. This guy was indeed Shi Tao's confidant, birds of a feather. He had no ability to eliminate the bandits in his own territory, and he would not allow others to do so.
Lu Desheng said domineeringly, "Whose people are I care about. Liufu Village is causing trouble in your territory. You are incompetent and can't deal with it, so I will do it."
Hu Yiliang was so angry at his words that his face turned blue. He shouted, "I don't care. Anyway, you wiped out Liufu Village, which is wrong!"
Lu Desheng muttered, "The stronghold is your biological father, how can you not wipe it out?" His voice was neither loud nor soft, just loud enough for everyone present to hear.
"You--" Lu Yiliang was so angry that his hands were shaking. Lu Desheng's mouth was too vicious.
"Honestly, I helped you eliminate Liufu Village. Shouldn't you be grateful to me? Why are you blaming me instead? Is there something so special about Liufu Village that it can't be eliminated?"
Lu Yiliang shuddered, "Lu Desheng, stop slandering me! We're talking about you crossing the line."
Shi Tao knocked on the table and said, "Lü Desheng, let's stick to the facts and stop making unnecessary arguments."
The governor's butt was crooked, and Lu Desheng complained in his heart. He looked at Lu Yiliang, "What do you think?"
Lu Yiliang had someone to back him up, so he immediately made a demand, "You need to apologize to me and promise that this will be the only time you send troops to wipe out Liufu Village, and it won't happen again."
Lu Desheng said perfunctorily, "Okay, I apologize. I shouldn't have sent troops to help you eliminate the Liufu Village that was causing trouble in the village just because you were incompetent and couldn't deal with the bandit problem in Liaoxi County."
His apology made the corners of the mouths of everyone present twitch.
Lu Yiliang was so angry at this apology that his face turned green. This was not an apology, it was exposing his shortcomings, right?
Lu Desheng went on to say, "I promise that I will never send troops to help you suppress bandits again next time." Next time, I will dare to do it again!
"If you have any other requests, just tell me!" After that, he could go back.
Lu Yiliang could only hold back his anger and said, "Also, after taking down Liufu Village, all the looted property must be returned to us in Liaoxi County."
Lu Desheng looked outside. It was still daytime and the sun was still bright outside. He began to dream.
"No."
Lu Yiliang was furious. "Lu Desheng, how dare you take these valuables?"
Lü Desheng explained, "It's not that they stole money. Liufu Village is a poor village. We raided its warehouse but didn't get any valuables. They also looted a village the day before, and we distributed all the food to the victims."
