My country, you can pinch it

At this moment, Lu Wanshan is watching a prank.

The Hu woman is tall and slender, showing a snow-white waist, her gaze is bolder than that of the Han woman, and she writhes on the dance floor like a water snake to seduce people, especially the leader, who has a thinner waist and more explicit movements. The bright and beautiful face made the eyes of the men around him straighten, and their breathing became heavy.

Liang Wang Duan Ping was sitting under Lu Wanshan, seeing Lu Wanshan was also looking at the woman, he couldn't help smiling, and when the song and dance ended, he clapped his hands, and the enchanting woman stepped forward and sat beside Lu Wanshan, Wrapping her hands around his neck, she snuggled up to him.

Seeing this, all the men looked at Lu Wanshan enviously. Apart from jealousy, they regretted that such a beautiful and delicate flower was given to this old and ugly man.

Lu Wanshan is over fifty years old and already has grandchildren, and his daughter married Duan Ping and has children.This beautiful woman is indeed not suitable for him, but so what, who will let him know?In these years of business, even Zhang, who looked down on him earlier, has gradually paid more attention to him, and even more arrogant?

Lu Wanshan is not a person who can be seduced by beauty if he can come to this day. He let the woman wrap around him, but he was not in a hurry to hug her. what for?"

"Father-in-law, Doerduo used to be a princess of the Xiche Kingdom, but the king was murdered by a treacherous minister. The princess fled and fled to Yongliang by chance. I take pity on her and take her in. Now I am looking for her to belong."

Duan Ping's words surprised the surroundings, and his gaze reassessed this enchanting woman, as if she had been given a rare light again because of her status as a princess.

Lu Wanshan raised the woman's pointed chin and asked with interest: "Really?"

The woman nodded, her eyes filled with bold love.

"Haha, with such a beauty, wouldn't it be better for King Liang to accept it himself?"

Duan Ping said: "She admires smart people, and she likes wise men like father-in-law. It's not my son-in-law's instruction. Besides, my son-in-law is devoted to his wife, so why would he look at other women."

The words were clever and pleasing, which made Lu Wanshan laugh out loud, "Since that's the case, you can just say what you have to say, because of the love between you and me, why should we divide our lives like this."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Duan Ping raised his hand and made a bow imitating the etiquette of the Central Plains. With his appearance of a barbarian, this gesture seemed nondescript, but Lu Wanshan thought it was very useful.

Then Duan Ping looked back at the barbarians around him, they were all the ones from the elders group, and one of them, an old man with a white beard and wearing a long robe, got up and said, "Respected Mr. Lu, I am very sorry to disturb your interest. It's just that caravans from the Western Regions have arrived one after another. They crossed the long yellow sand hills, braved the severe cold all the way, carefully avoided horse thieves, and traveled thousands of miles to Yongliang for several months, expecting to sell their goods to merchants in the Central Plains. In exchange for the needed cloth, medicine and tea, and then return home. But..."

Lu Wanshan's expression remained unchanged, and he took a sip of fine wine with the blossoming catkins.

"It's already spring, but the caravans from the Central Plains have been slow to come, and because the merchants in Yongliang can't leave, they don't want to trade prematurely. The goods have been stranded in their hands, which is really worrying." Duan Ping The following words are added.

"Yes, yes, Lord Lu, please think of a way." Several barbarians got up together and saluted respectfully.

"So that's how it is." Lu Wanshan sighed, as if he had heard it for the first time, he thought for a while, and showed doubts on his face, "But there are too many refugees outside the city, occupying the official road, and businessmen can't come even if they want to. It doesn’t matter if they can go to open the city gate.”

"Lord Lu!"

"Hey, it's not just you, I'm also very anxious. The Zhang family's caravan is also staying in Yongliang and can't get out, but who caused the cold disaster?"

"Lord Lu, this is not a problem at all!"

Lu Wanshan waved his hand, "Everyone, why don't you wait until the troubled refugees disappear, the caravan should go anyway, the weather is too cold now, and it will be difficult to go back all the way, why don't you rest in Yongliang City and wait for the weather to ease Wouldn't it be better to go again?"

"This……"

"Or if you all have the heart to help solve the problem of refugees, I am willing to cooperate, how about it?" Lu Wanshan smiled kindly, but what he said made the Hu people not happy. Doesn't this mean that they are asked to pay for money to buy food? To help those refugees?

But why?What does the Han have to do with them?

After Lu Wanshan finished speaking, seeing no one answered, he got up and patted Duan Ping on the shoulder, "I'll take him away?"

Duan Ping forced a smile: "It's as long as father-in-law likes it."

Lu Wanshan smiled, swayed away with the woman in his arms, but he was still far away, and a city gate soldier hurried in to report: "My lord, report at the gate of the city, His Royal Highness King Ning sent a messenger, saying that King Ning will seal you off." Yong Liang, please go out of the city to greet me as soon as possible!"

The news was so sudden that Lu Wanshan was stunned for a long time before turning around and asking, "Do you all understand?"

Duan Ping was puzzled: "Prince Ning?"

"Does the Dashun court have this king?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"You can call him Your Highness...this is a prince." Lu Wanshan said unhurriedly, "Among the adult princes, there are King Duan and King Jing, both of whom are in Beijing, and the only one left who is ranked seventh should be him. .”

Prince?

Duan Ping's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help but look at each other with the elders around him.

As if Lu Wanshan hadn't noticed it, he just sneered, "Since Dashun established the dynasty, no, from ancient times to the present, I have never heard of a person who came to Yongliang and was appointed immediately. How much is this His Highness not liked by the Emperor?" ?”

If the emperor likes his son, he usually stays in Beijing and puts him beside him to give important tasks, or seals him to a rich and rich place with beautiful mountains and rivers. Again, it is also a comfortable place in the Central Plains.

Yongliang may be a big city with prosperous commerce, but to the middle of Beijing, it is almost like a barbaric wilderness drinking blood.

When Lu Wanshan said this, Duan Ping and the elder Hu Ren all looked at him flat, and the ripples in their hearts gradually faded away.

"What about the messenger?" Lu Wanshan said, "It may not be easy to get to the city, so go and bring them here."

Zhizhou Prefecture

The courier who was brought in looked rather embarrassed, with unscabby bloodstains on his face. It seemed that he had tidied up his appearance on the road, but he was still ashamed.

Lu Wanshan's master carefully looked at the canonized edict and Ning Wang's hand letter, and then nodded to Lu Wanshan, "My lord, it's true."

Of course it is true, no one dares to pretend to deceive him with the imperial decree.Lu Wanshan looked at the messenger pretending to be surprised, "What happened on the way, King Ning?"

"Master Lu, don't you know?" The messenger seemed to be annoyed, and his words were blunt, very blunt, "The mob rushed and almost took His Highness hostage, Lord Lu, what's going on in Yongliang, why are there so many mobs?"

"This... ah, natural disasters and man-made disasters, I am also powerless. I don't know why His Royal Highness King Ning chose this time to come to Yongliang? If I send someone to notify in advance, I can go to meet him."

Lu Wanshan's words made the messenger immediately angry, and he sarcastically said: "Your Highness will be sealed when he comes. Do you still have to wait for your lord's approval?"

Such a domineering appearance made Lu Wanshan's smiling face show a fierce gleam, but it soon faded away. He said: "The messenger misunderstood, I just have good intentions. I don't know how His Royal Highness King Ning is doing now, but it's okay? " he asked with concern.

"We tried our best to protect His Highness and repelled the mob. His Highness was frightened. His special subordinates went ahead to invite Lu Zhizhou, and he will arrive in a car. Lu Zhizhou greeted him quickly. If there is any mistake, His Highness will not have a good temper." would be great."

"So that's how it is. I immediately summoned everyone to greet him in Kaesong. I also asked the messenger to take a rest and eat some food to calm down the shock."

However, the gentle words did not calm down the messenger, he stopped Lu Wanshan, "Wait, my lord."

When Lu Wanshan turned his head, he saw the messenger's righteous words and tough attitude: "A good official road is occupied by a group of mobs, what a shame, His Highness orders you to lead troops to destroy them immediately, there must be no mistake!"

It seems that King Ning suffered a great loss at the hands of the mob, and he held back his anger. Lu Wanshan understood, he touched his stomach, and comforted him: "I understand, but this matter has to be discussed in the long term."

"Lord Lu!"

"Hey, no matter what, it's important to welcome His Royal Highness King Ning back. If there is a delay, and some bandits follow, you and I can't afford it!"

After Lu Wanshan finished speaking, he saw that the messenger was dumbfounded, so he brushed off his sleeves and left calmly.

The news that King Ning granted Yongliang, Lu Wanshan quickly ordered people to spread it out, and ordered officials, big and small, to gather and go out of the city to meet him.

The Zhang family's Zhuangfeng also came, since ancient times, no prince has ever made Yongliang a fief, he was amazed at the same time, he couldn't help but come to find out the news.

"It's just an ignorant child, so there's no need to worry." Lu Wanshan said.

Seeing that he had a plan in mind, Zhang Feng felt relieved, "The old man will prepare some thin wine, and give King Ning a cleanse at night, and see you later."

Lu Wanshan smiled and said, "Very good."

When the officials of Yongliang, big and small, followed Lu Wanshan to three miles away, they happened to see the flag hanging high in the distance, and the domineering Ning flag fluttering in the wind, and then the luxury car driven by five tall horses drove by. , came slowly under many guards.

Feng Yang beside Lu Wanshan watched intently, and when he saw the walking posture of the soldiers, he couldn't help but sneered and said, "Lord Lu, King Ning is really lucky to be able to pass through Doujin Mountain safely."

This lame man, all of them had scars on their bodies, even if they were lucky enough not to be injured, their spirits were also sluggish, there was no such thing as a prince's personal guard.

It seems that the messenger was not lying, he had just escaped in embarrassment after a fierce battle.

Lu Wanshan was wearing an official uniform, looked at Laijia, and said calmly: "At least he is a prince, and the guards around him are all elite. If a group of refugees were robbed and killed, it would be a joke to spread the word."

"It's just a pity that Yongliang doesn't need a big Buddha. This King Ning doesn't look like a good friend. My lord, our peaceful life may be in trouble."

Lu Wanshan glanced at him faintly, raised his eyebrows and said, "The Great Buddha has always been offered at a high level, and everything is done by the monks under his command, isn't it?"

This is really reasonable, Feng Yang chuckled and complimented: "My lord has a good opinion."

While speaking, the chariot suddenly stopped far away, and then a soldier left the chariot and galloped towards Lu Wanshan, and said coldly, "His Royal Highness King Ning has an order, and you all walk forward to meet the chariot."

After speaking, without waiting for anyone to answer, he turned his horse's head and went back directly.

With such a tough and domineering attitude, Feng Yang immediately dissatisfied with his violent temper: "Didn't you say that you will be greeted three miles outside the city? It's almost four miles away. King Ning is so majestic!"

"And it's still walking, isn't this deliberately embarrassing people?"

"The emperor doesn't even have such a big shelf."

All the officials, big and small, looked at Lu Wanshan. The latter had no expression on his face, but squinted at the heavily covered carriage, the prince's car, which was really luxurious and graceful.

Whether it was the soldiers driving the car or the people accompanying them, they looked at this side together, and they couldn't see their faces clearly. They only knew that King Ning wasn't moving, and they didn't move either. It was really arrogant.

Beijing officials have always looked down on magistrates, let alone this magistrate who stepped into the wild and bitter cold?

Lu Wanshan let out a deep breath, and after a long while, he burst out laughing and said: "Ah... the pampered prince, being sent here by the emperor, is really wronged, not to mention being attacked by the mob, he has to lose his temper, Please be patient, feel wronged, follow me and take two steps to invite this great Buddha out."

He seemed to be magnanimous and reasonable, but in fact, his insinuating words gave himself a step up, and the officials behind him immediately laughed: "Master Lu is really tolerant, he has the belly of a prime minister!"

"Let's go, let's go with Master Lu."

Under the escort of a team of guards, hundreds of officials followed Lu Wanshan talking and laughing towards the car.

Xiaotuanzi lifted the curtain slightly, opened his eyes wide, and exclaimed, "It really came here!"

Liu Ke snorted: "Nonsense, this kind of official's heart is more than one. If you are polite to him, he has to think about whether you have left someone behind to wait for him. If you directly slap him, he will be relieved." Now, I think you are an idiot, so there is nothing to be afraid of." The last comment, "It's too cheap."

What he said made a lot of sense, Fang Jinling thought in his heart that this was probably Liu Ke's experience gained from running around the capital for many years as a bastard.

He put his head up too, wanting to see the scene where the officials walked 500 meters, but unfortunately, Liu Ke dragged him back before he reached the car window, "What's so interesting about a group of guys with fat brains? It's windy today, be careful if it blows to you, and you'll have a headache again."

Fang Jinling was tortured by her delicate body and lost her temper, so she could only sigh, "Okay."

Seeing this, Liu Ke raised his lips, "Brother will go down later, you stay inside, don't look around."

Fang Jinling knew very well what would happen later, he whispered, "I'm not afraid."

Liu Ke squinted at him, "I don't know who had the nightmare last night?"

Fang Jinling: "..." Is it easy to be a baby in peaceful times?

"good."

How about coaxing children with this tone?

Fang Jinling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but after thinking about it, he really couldn't help much, so he responded, "Okay."

After less than a mile of travel, Lu Wanshan and the officials finally arrived in front of Liu Ke's car, "My minister Lu Wanshan, the prefect of Yongliang, led the officials to pay a visit to His Royal Highness King Ning."

As soon as the voice came, Fang Jinling immediately sat upright.

Liu Ke responded casually: "Let's get down."

After he finished speaking, he sat still in the carriage, and Xiaotuanzi opened the door.

Everyone waited for a while, finally waited until there was any movement in the carriage, but they did not see King Ning, but a chubby eunuch in a well-dressed servant's uniform and dust got out of the carriage first, then walked to the window of the carriage, bent over Ask: "Your Highness?"

"Let Zhizhou come forward and answer." The voice was loose and lofty, with a look of contempt for others.

Fang Jin Lingxin said that Lu Wanshan should really want to put a sack on Liu Ke secretly.

"Yes." Xiaotuanzi cleared his throat, looked at Lu Wanshan and said in a shrill voice, "Lu Zhizhou, Your Highness, please come forward and answer."

Lu Wanshan frowned, finally showing displeasure on his face.

He personally greeted him without saying anything, and led his people on foot to respectfully invite him, but King Ning still refused to come down. Such an arrogant attitude made him extremely unhappy.

Seeing his hesitation, the eunuch became even more annoyed, "His Royal Highness traveled all the way from the capital to Yongliang. It took two months of bumpy and tiring work. I didn't expect to be angry with the refugees, so I almost confessed here! Lord Lu, You are a good magistrate of Yongliang!"

Xiaotuanzi explained the reason for Liu Ke's making things difficult in one sentence.

Refugees are naturally hateful, but the magistrate who let them make trouble will also be angered by him. Don't you think King Ning doesn't know?

Feng Yang held his breath and was about to explode, but was suppressed by Lu Wanshan. He smiled coldly, his eyes signaled not to care about it, and when he arrived in the city, he would teach this ignorant boy a lesson.

"Is it the lower official?" Lu Wanshan took another deep breath, then walked step by step in front of King Ning's chariot, bent down and saluted, "Let the untouchables bump into His Highness, the lower official deserves to die, I implore Your Highness to forgive me."

Standing next to the car driver were two guards who crossed swords. They were only one step away from Lu Wanshan, and they could take him down just by drawing their swords.

In the car, listening to this strange voice, no matter how calm Fang Jinling was, his heart couldn't help beating violently, nervously.

He finally knew that his abilities could only be talked about on paper at best, and if he didn't have a strong executor around him, everything would be just empty talk.He subconsciously grasped the material at hand... Liu Ke was about to speak, when he turned his head and saw Fang Jinling twist the corner of his clothes into twists.

Liu Ke: "..." It was Fang Jinling who first proposed the idea of ​​killing Lu Wanshan.

It was so bold and cowardly that he laughed.

That being the case, don't make any moves, Liu Ke said in a cold voice: "Lu Wanshan, so you are guilty?"

Lu Wanshan was slightly taken aback when he heard that, then smiled, raised his hand and arched: "I implore Your Highness to calm down."

"Calm your anger?" Liu Ke smiled coldly, and then shouted angrily, "Come on, take him down!"

Before the words fell, the guards on both sides immediately took a step forward. One held down Lu Wanshan, raised his foot and kicked him on the knee, causing him to scream and kneel on the ground. The other drew out his long knife and pressed Grab his neck and subdue him in an instant.
