According to Chen Yunxuan's arrangement yesterday, under the guidance of Zhu Li, Lin Tongxi took Yue Lingyun and Su Ruoxue to the Lu Mansion.
"Master, there is a group of people outside the door who claim to be friends of the county magistrate and want to visit you." The servant entered the room and reported what had just happened to County Lieutenant Lu.
"What? The county magistrate's friends? Take me to the door quickly, I want to visit them in person!" Lu Fengyu didn't have time to think about it and ran out immediately.
Lin Tongxi was waiting at the door, and then he saw a strong middle-aged man at the door, who looked like a military general.
"Everyone, my name is Lu Fengyu. What are your names?" County Lieutenant Lu immediately asked about the identities of the people.
Except for Zhu Li, the three introduced themselves in turn, and County Lieutenant Lu also confirmed that these people were indeed good friends of the county magistrate.
Zhu Li had previously worked as a legal officer, so Lu Fengyu naturally knew him.
As for Lin Tongxi and others, he had more or less heard of their deeds.
"I'm sorry, I was busy yesterday and left the county town to hunt down the traitor." Lu Fengyu first explained why he did not greet them at the door yesterday, and then invited Lin Tongxi and others to come in for tea.
Lu Fengyu was extremely enthusiastic, which was beyond the expectations of Lin Tongxi and others.
They originally thought that he would be as disrespectful to them as the three evil gentry in Ruihe Town had been before, but now it seems that the other party is actually very hospitable.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the other party will set up a conspiracy.
For example, poisoning or drugging, for this purpose, Lin Tongxi also brought Su Ruoxue along.
Apart from anything else, there is a person here who understands medicine and poisons, so any problems can be discovered in time!
The reason for bringing Yue Lingyun along was for combat power considerations. Since there was an eighth-grade martial arts master here, he could definitely hold out for a few rounds.
As for County Lieutenant Lu, he has the strength of a ninth-rank martial master, which is slightly lower than Yue Lingyun's combat power. If a fight really breaks out, Yue Lingyun, who has the talent [Unstoppable Force], does not need them.
What's more, Lin Tongxi has a pistol.
No matter how good your kung fu is, you are still afraid of a gun!
For this reason, Lin Tongxi and others also entered the Lu Mansion.
After all, he was just a county magistrate. He couldn't kill all of them for such a small matter, right?
As soon as he entered the living room and sat down, Lu Fengyu asked someone to close the door.
Lin Tongxi noticed this and asked seriously, "Master Lu, what is your intention?"
They thought Lu Fengyu had finally revealed his true nature and was about to attack them, but unexpectedly, he had no intention of using violence. Instead, he explained in detail why he was absent yesterday: "To be honest, everyone, it was not that I did not show up on purpose yesterday, but that I did not receive any notice at all!"
Hearing this, Lin Tongxi also frowned: "Didn't you receive the notice? Didn't the county magistrate tell you?"
"Lei County Magistrate? I didn't even receive any notice!" Hearing the name of Lei County Magistrate, Lu Fengyu also got angry: "Also, I have a conflict with Lord Lei."
He slammed the table on the spot and talked about the reason for the disagreement between him and Lei Liquan.
Of course, these matters are all government secrets, but County Lieutenant Lu inquired about Lin Tongxi and others and found that Chen Yunxuan trusted Lin Tongxi and others very much.
Especially Lin Tongxi, he can almost represent Chen Yunxuan!
Now that the position of Gongcao is vacant, County Magistrate Lu and County Magistrate Lei originally wanted to recommend a candidate to the county magistrate.
But after learning about Lin Tongxi, County Lieutenant Lu gave up this idea.
The two were from the same hometown and were as close as brothers. They had gone through life and death together and governed Ruihe Town and Qingshi Village together.
Now that they are bound together, the position of Gongcao is almost certain to be achieved!
But there is also a situation, that is, Lin Tongxi does not want to be it.
But even so, the candidate recommended by Lu Fengyu might not have a chance.
Apart from anything else, the fact that he didn't come to greet the county magistrate yesterday was enough to ruin his idea of recommending him.
Not to mention recommending him, it would be good enough if he could restore his image in front of the county magistrate.
As for Zhu Li, he is one of Gan Xingfan's confidants and is also a county official, so he can be trusted.
Based on the above considerations, he chose to tell the reason.
County Magistrate Lei had worked in the county the longest. He was first hired as a household official, and then was promoted to county magistrate because of a nobleman.
Originally, after working for so many years, he could have been promoted to county magistrate.
It’s a pity that this nobleman was dismissed from his post for colluding with bandits, and this official position came to nothing.
Bandits? Lin Tongxi suddenly remembered that Sun Youcai had said that he had some personal relationship with the county magistrate.
"Lord Lu, do you know Huxiaozhai?" Lin Tongxi mentioned the previous bandit group. They had previously been entrenched in Huigu Mountain and were wiped out by Gan Xingfan and others.
County Lieutenant Lu nodded and gave an affirmative answer: "I am in charge of public security in the county, of course I know."
"This group of bandits originally resided in Yuwan County. They seemed to have learned in advance that there would be unrest in Yuwan County, so they moved to Huigu Mountain." County Lieutenant Lu explained the origins of this group of bandits.
"This Tiger Roaring Village has done a lot of bad things, but luckily Lord Gan Xingfan wiped them out!"
"By the way... I've heard of several of you. I think you also participated in the bandit suppression with County Magistrate Lin?"
When asked, Lin Tongxi answered truthfully: "Yes, we did participate."
"This is truly a blessing for Guangyang County. It's a pity that I was suppressing bandits elsewhere at the time and was unable to participate." Lu Fengyu expressed regret.
"Speaking of bandits, how is the bandit suppression situation in Guangyang County?" Lin Tongxi used this as a starting point to understand the public security in Guangyang County.
Upon hearing this, Lu Fengyu asked his servants to take out the map, and then studied it with everyone.
"Master Lin, the Tiger Roaring Village entrenched in Hegu Township has been wiped out by you, and the influx of refugees has also been resolved. The security here is extremely stable."
