Chapter 62 Going further and further on the road to death
After explaining all this, Liu Litao had already given up and was ready to be rejected by Cui Heng.
After all, the position of Lu County Governor did not seem like a good job.
Unless all the people of these big sects and big families were killed and all their industries were confiscated, it would be possible to let them continue to cause trouble.
Otherwise, there is no way at all.
But if you really do that, let alone whether you can do it or not, even if you can do it, you will definitely offend most of the sects and families in Fengzhou.
There are many top ones among them.
If it comes to that, even a god would be unable to move forward.
It's impossible to kill people all over Fengzhou and make the blood flow like a river.
It seems that he will have to stay in the position of Lu County Governor after all. Liu Litao felt sad, as if he had foreseen his tragic future.
But at this moment, he suddenly heard Cui Heng speak.
"Then please ask Governor Liu to submit a memorial to the court and recommend me to be the Governor of Lu County."
Liu Litao was suddenly as if he heard heavenly music!
His head was lifted up, and he looked at Cui Heng in disbelief, and asked in surprise, "You, you agreed?"
"Yes." Cui Heng nodded lightly and smiled, "I agreed."
"The County Lord is so righteous, the County Lord is really a living god!" Liu Litao bowed with great admiration.
This was a sincere exclamation.
He never thought that after Cui Heng knew that Lu County City was such a big mess, he would actually accept the position of prefect.
In his opinion, the current situation of Lu County City is unsolvable.
Even if a god came over, it would be difficult to make any changes.
In this case, the position of Lu County Prefect is a hot potato, with no benefits and endless troubles.
After thinking about it, he could only think that Cui Heng was doing it out of benevolence.
Of course, there should also be a reason for his confidence in his own strength.
After all, this is a god who may have the ability to call the wind and rain.
"You're welcome." Cui Heng waved his hand and said, "Grandmaster Liu, just submit your petition. I can take office at any time."
"Any time?" Liu Litao couldn't help but wonder, and couldn't help asking, "What about the Yan bandit rebels?"
The fall of the Yan Wang army was just last night, and the news hadn't reached here yet.
Therefore, in Liu Litao's cognition, the biggest crisis facing Lu County now is still the hundreds of thousands of Yan bandit rebels stationed in Xiling County.
Xu Fengan, who was standing behind Cui Heng, was also a little confused.
He and Liu Litao didn't doubt whether Cui Heng could resist the next Yan bandit rebels.
It's just that I don't understand why Cui Heng said that he could take office in Lu County at any time.
After all, Juhe County was the front line of the war. If they wanted to resist the next Yan bandit rebellion, it was obviously the best choice to stay here.
"Good news!"
"Good news!"
"Sir, there is good news!"
At this time, Hui Shi's voice came from outside.
He seemed to be a man who did not show his emotions, but this time he shouted with great excitement, which was obviously very important news.
"Come in." Cui Heng waved to the outside with a smile on his face.
"Yes! Sir!" Hui Shi walked in quickly with the military report.
He ignored Liu Litao who was standing beside him, and bowed to Cui Heng with great respect, saying: "Your Excellency, I just received a military report from the scouts that hundreds of thousands of meteors fell from the sky in Xiling County last night.
"The rebel King Yan's army was wiped out overnight. All the soldiers and generals were turned into ashes under the meteors, but no ordinary people were hurt. According to the people in the city, there were immortals standing in the sky at that time, and everyone believed that it was the heavens opening their eyes and sending down divine punishment! "
The military information that sounded like a myth came out of Hui Shi's mouth.
Liu Litao, Qian Cang, and Xu Fengan who were standing by were stunned and could hardly believe their ears.
Hundreds of thousands of meteors destroyed hundreds of thousands of Yan bandit rebels overnight?!
The first reaction of the three was -
how is this possible?!
It's too outrageous!
However, Xu Fengan quickly thought of the immortal god who saved him last night.
If it was that immortal god, maybe it was really It is possible to do such a miraculous thing.
Overnight, hundreds of thousands of troops were destroyed, but the ordinary people in Xiling County were not harmed. What a great magical power!
Even a fairy like the county master might not be able to do it.
But from what the county master said just now, he should have known the news of the rebellion of the King of Yan. From
this point of view, the county master and the fairy god are most likely connected.
As long as I follow the county master, There should be hope of learning about the immortal god!
This made Xu Fengan determined to follow Cui Heng.
Liu Litao was in unprecedented shock.
As the governor of Lu County, he knew very well how terrifying the Yan bandit rebels were.
It is very likely that they will completely capture the entire Fengzhou in a short period of time and become the first anti-bandit regime to occupy the entire state, which will have the potential to overthrow the Great Jin Dynasty.
Therefore, even in the giant river The county lost 50,000 troops, and Liu Litao did not think that the Yan Wang army would stop the war.
But he never expected that such a large army of rebels would disappear overnight?
What kind of power could destroy hundreds of thousands of troops overnight?
It was too incredible!
And from the description of the military report, the so-called fire meteor only destroyed the Yan Wang rebels and did not harm ordinary people.
This does not seem to be a natural disaster.
Could it be man-made?
But what kind of person can do such a bizarre thing? !
Even gods can't do it!
When thinking about the gods, Liu Litao inevitably cast his eyes on Cui Heng, and suddenly a thought emerged in his mind.
Could it be that he did it?
Judging from the words of Cui County Magistrate just now, he should have known about this matter before the army reported. . Could
it be that he really did it?
The Cui County Magistrate in front of him, the future Cui Taishou, has the ability to destroy hundreds of thousands of troops overnight? !
But it's too exaggerated, too incredible!
It's hard to believe.
This guess made Liu Litao feel his scalp tingling and his whole body trembling. He vaguely felt that it seemed to be a great thing for him to give up the position of Taishou to Cui Heng.
Cui Heng saw the reactions of several people and laughed out loud: "This is really a double happiness. Huishi, ask Zhao Guang to draft a notice, announcing a three-day banquet in the city to celebrate the demise of the Yan bandits. All expenses will be paid by the county government."
"Yes! Your Excellency!" Huishi bowed and was about to leave.
"Don't leave in a hurry." Cui Heng kept him and said, "After drafting the notice, let Zhao Guang prepare a banquet and invite Lao Lu to come together. There are four of us. I have something to tell you."
"Your Excellency..." Hui Shi immediately understood the meaning, hesitated, nodded and replied, "Yes, Your Excellency!"
...
When Liu Litao was preparing to build the altar and burn the letter of recommendation to the court of Dajin,
several major sects such as Tai Chong faction had already taken action in Lujun City.
The first thing that changed was the price of grain, which increased fivefold overnight, causing countless people to panic.
Then it was coal.
Now it is almost winter, and it is the time for people to stockpile coal to prepare for the winter.
At this time of year in previous years, coal would be transported from other places through Honghe River for sale.
But this year, for some unknown reason, there is not even a single ship to transport coal.
When the people inquired about the relevant merchants, they only got the reply that they had to wait for a while.
After coal, changes also occurred in cloth, salt, fruits, ore, etc., either the price increased five or six times, or they were simply out of stock.
This kind of market change without any signs, reason, or even illogicality made the people in Lu County City confused.
In the end, they could only go to the county governor's office to cry.
But they got the news that the governor had long been gone in the city.
This immediately made a large number of people dumbfounded.
However, ordinary people are still a bit cowardly after all, and dare not directly resist the government, but they can't stand someone taking the lead.
Several major sects and families such as the Tai Chong Sect have already arranged for someone to help them.
When countless people came to the governor's office but could only return empty-handed,
they "did their duty" and jumped out, pretending to be furious, and began to attack the government office.
The people who were originally a little scared saw someone taking the lead and responded one after another.
This caused chaos in front of the governor's office.
It was completely impossible to maintain order.
As the county commander, Chen Tong was extremely worried and kept muttering in his heart: The new governor should come quickly...
At the same time, in a private room of a three-story wine house,
Sun Panshi, the foreign affairs steward of the Taichong faction, was feasting and drinking with five other people.
Everyone looked out the window from time to time, looking at the chaotic gate of the prefect's office, laughing, and the air around was full of joy.
"Hahaha! What a good show, what a good show!"
Sun Panshi pointed in the direction of the prefect's office and laughed. He took a sip of wine and said complacently: "The lifeblood of the people of the entire Lu County is in the hands of the six of us. Let's see what the new county governor can do to fight us.
"Everyone, do you believe that within three days after the new county governor takes office, he will come to me in person to apologize?"
