Chapter 381 Lord Lu is powerful
Facing the innocent questions of the victims in the South.
Chief of the officers and soldiers: That makes so much sense, they are speechless!
The other officers and soldiers also wanted to cover their faces. It was so embarrassing, so embarrassing!
The conversation between the two sides was quite loud, and the onlookers felt very uncomfortable listening to it.
Is the person next door doing so well? I'm so tempted, what should I do?
At this moment they were still struggling over whether to move to Liaodong County, but they didn't know that their hesitation was in vain, as the Liaoxi County government would simply block their household registration and refuse to allow them to move.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the east, and someone shouted, "Lord Lu is here!"
"Greetings, Lord Lu."
"Lord Lu——"
The disaster victims from the south all stared at Lu Desheng intently. Is this their Liaodong County Magistrate? He's a good-looking middle-aged handsome man.
Lu Desheng looked around, nodded one by one, and finally his eyes fell on Feng Ting, the county lieutenant of Liaoxi County. "County Lieutenant Feng, it's not good for you to stop the people from the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce like this, right?"
Feng Ting: "I am following orders, and I hope Lord Lu will forgive me."
Lu Desheng said, "Since Lord Lu is not here, I will take these people away first."
Xue Xu was very quick to react and immediately turned back to the main force and said, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you pack up and leave?"
The other team leaders also hurriedly shouted, "Everyone, pack up and get ready to leave."
The disaster victims in the south thought, "Wouldn't packing be easy?" They'd learned how to pack up quickly and be on the road, among other things.
"Lord Lu, you can't do this!" Feng Ting stopped him. He had already sent someone to invite Lord Lu.
Lu Yilian was not around, and Lu Desheng was too lazy to argue with him.
Seeing that these people acted as they pleased and did not take him seriously at all, Feng Ting slowly drew his knife.
Qin Yan immediately protected Lu Desheng behind him, and the officers and soldiers brought by Lu Desheng also dispersed to form a protective circle.
"Feng Ting, do you dare to draw your sword against me?"
"I'm sorry, Lord Lu, but I can't let these people leave without Lord Lu's order."
Yue Shu also quickly brought his men over.
Feng Ting frowned as he looked at his own people who were being attacked from both inside and outside.
"Stop!" Lu Yiliang came and looked at the scene, angrily saying, "Lu Desheng, what are you trying to do? Are you rebelling?"
"It's ridiculous for you to ask this question, Lord Lu. Do you think you are the emperor?" It's just an accusation, who can't do that?
Lu Yiliang said angrily, “Don’t talk nonsense?!”
Lu Desheng said coldly, "If you don't spew nonsense, I will naturally be able to speak properly."
Lu Yiliang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself, "Lu Desheng, you can't take these people away for the time being."
"Why? Give me a reason."
"I suspect there's something wrong with these people."
"What's the problem? This—" Lü Desheng pointed at Liu Erxi, "is the manager of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce. They're going south to buy grain. Is that a problem? Because they got so much grain, they hired strong disaster victims to escort it north. Is that a problem?"
Lu Yiliang choked, "You don't have to say so much. If I say there's a problem, then there is a problem."
"Where's the evidence?"
"This batch of grain has no purchase receipts and its origin is unknown. But don't worry, once we find out the truth, if there are no problems, I will naturally release it."
Lu Desheng was so angry at his hypocrisy that he laughed. He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen anyone so shameless.
If he really detained them, would there be any food left? Even if they finally came back, it was hard to say how much they could bring back.
"This batch of grain was brought back from the south by the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce. You think it's of unknown origin? I also think the official hat on his head is of unknown origin."
Lu Yiliang looked at him angrily, "Lu Desheng, you——"
Lu Desheng curled his lips, "I what?"
"Lu Yiliang, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're so calculating that the abacus beads are falling on my face."
"Don't you just want to devour this food and leave these people behind? I don't mean to look down on you, Lü Desheng, but do you think Liaoxi County can provide food, shelter, and shelter for over 20,000 disaster victims? Winter is almost here. If they freeze to death or starve to death, who will be responsible?"
Lu Yiliang frowned and said stiffly, "Don't worry about this!"
At this time, someone among the disaster victims raised his voice and said, "No, this is a big problem. Lord Lu needs to worry about us, the people who have left our homes."
The others nodded when they heard this. That’s right, they left their hometowns, not to suffer.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yiliang glanced at the crowd, but there were too many victims and he couldn't find the person who was speaking.
Lu Desheng's eyes were smiling. This person from the south was quite interesting. He saw that Lu Yiliang was still looking for the person he had just spoken to, so he immediately said, "Alright, I don't want to waste my time on you. I want to take these people away. You said there's something wrong with them, so wait until you have solid evidence before coming to Liaodong County to arrest them."
For scholars like Ning Changge, their first impression of Lord Lu Desheng was that he was a very strong official who held his head high and argued with reason in the face of evil forces. His image was very noble.
"Lü Desheng, you are too arrogant. Do you still have any respect for the governor?!"
"What does this have to do with the Governor?" Lü Desheng said in a surprised tone, "Don't tell anyone, this was ordered by the Governor. How could the Governor, such a fair and just man, do such a shameless thing?"
Lu Desheng's words are full of meaning.
Lu Yiliang's face twitched, as if he'd been shot in the chest. What did Lu Desheng mean by this? The governor was fair and just, so this kind of shameless behavior was his due, wasn't it?
"The governor has also agreed to this." He said maliciously.
"Did the Governor agree?" Lu Desheng was surprised.
"I don't believe it unless you show me the official letter from the governor. Otherwise, you are slandering the governor." Lu Desheng said righteously.
Lu Yiliang was speechless. How could such a tacit agreement be put on paper?
But he also knew that this was Lu Desheng commanding his troops, and if he did not respond to the next step, he would not be able to keep these people.
So he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll tell you the truth. This is indeed the governor's intention. If you don't believe me, come with me to the governor's mansion and you'll know." He was confident that the governor would definitely stand on his side.
"Okay, lead the way!" As he spoke, Lu Desheng looked at Xue Xu.
Receiving his gaze, Xue Xu understood, "Lord Lu, Liaoxi County is too dangerous. I will have someone escort you there. Yue Shu, order 3,000 guards to protect Lord Lu."
The 3,000 officers and soldiers that Qin Yan brought were originally there to protect Lü Desheng, so naturally they had to follow. Together with the 3,000 guards that Yue Shu brought, there were a total of 6,000 people.
At this moment, Ning Changge suddenly spoke up, "Master Lu, can we go together?"
Seeing his scholarly air, Lu Desheng knew he must be a scholar from the South. He said gently, "Of course, but it's best not to have too many people coming."
Ning Changge nodded and picked two more people to join.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yi felt guilty and asked, "Is there no need to bring so many people?"
"It's necessary. They are really worried about my safety."
Lu Yiliang: Do you think he is a monster, or do you regard the governor's mansion as a den of danger?
