At the banquet, Lu Qingcai completely suppressed these sect members.
He has no martial arts, but his back to the big tree of Chaotang is his greatest confidence.
As he said, if everyone is afraid, this official will not need to be an official.
It's not that he is not afraid of death, but that Lu Qingcai can clearly distinguish who really dares to kill him and who is bluffing.
A person like Bao Quan looks fierce, but Lu Qingcai knows very well that he is a stern guy and dare not really kill him.
The wine and dishes were served slowly, Lu Qingcai picked up the wine glass and said: "Everyone, this year's affairs are settled like this, but don't worry, everyone, although the magistrate also got a lot of young and strong this time, but he is an old man. I will definitely not be too concerned about these two mines, in a year or two, the young and strong mining people will almost die, or the adults will be promoted and transferred, naturally this mine is still yours."
Although the people in the sect were dissatisfied, they all knew that their arms couldn't twist their thighs!
Even if Lu Qingcai is killed, what they can get is a series of revenge!
Especially now that the imperial army is in Lizhou, no one dares to act presumptuously!
Harmony was restored at the banquet, and after three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere gradually warmed up.
Su Wen talked about some interesting stories in Baihualou, and everyone listened with great interest.
"You said, those celebrities in their seventies and eighties went to the brothel, and they actually shrunk their sun, and now they are famous all over the capital."
Lu Qingcai also listened interestingly, and sighed: "Back then in Wenyuan Pavilion, I only had a meager salary every month, and I could only talk about the world with my colleagues, where can I get such a gold-selling cave? Not as much as you know."
Su Wen said with a smile: "Your Excellency is too modest. Now that you are an official of one of your parents, it is no longer what it used to be. Maybe one day you will be transferred to the capital. Then you can let yourself be free and unrestrained."
Lu Qingcai shook his head slightly and said: "How can it be so easy, what's more, I, a seventh-rank official who is released outside, is not as comfortable as the fifth-rank official in the capital? In this Yong county, I am the one who has the final say. In Kyoto, a fifth-rank official is not as good as a steward of the prime minister's mansion!"
"My lord can't be a county magistrate for a lifetime, he has to be promoted." Su Wen flattered.
Lu Qingcai felt a little emotional when he was drunk: "When I left the capital, I was full of passion and ambition, but when I came to this place, I realized that it is not so easy to be an official. Don't talk about others, just you martial arts sects, They can all threaten my life, and the local wealthy families even cover the sky with one hand. The officials at the top have to be filial, and the officials at the bottom all point to me as a way to get them some oil and water. This official is not easy to do. Why did Chen Bingzhong die? No Just know the times!"
Su Wen's eyes froze, Chen Bingzhong was the disaster relief official in Lizhou!
But Su Wen didn't press the question.
He knew that Lu Qingcai could say some things, but he couldn't ask them.
Lu Qingcai didn't mean to say anything deeply, but just sighed, and brought the topic to Fengyue again.
Everyone was drinking and chatting happily, but Su Wen knew very well that if these people left the yamen, they would have different faces.
On the other side, in the anti-insurgency camp.
Wu Kunhu sat on the chair, closed his eyes and meditated.
Wu Lie looked at the map.
"Father Commander, tomorrow I will lead the army to bypass the enemy from Muyu Ridge. When Father Commander's army enters, I will attack from the flank. What do you think?"
Wu Kunhu nodded absent-mindedly, and said, "As you please."
Wu Lie saw that Wu Kunhu didn't care much about the suppression of the rebellion.
He was a little puzzled and said: "Father, why did you always take the lead in fighting in the past, but this time you are so impatient?"
Wu Kunhu shook his head and said: "Whether it is the northern border or the southern barbarians, they are all from the enemy's country. Naturally, I am happy to kill them, but this time the rebellion army is just some poor people. Although they take up swords and guns, how many warriors are there? But what's the point of fighting, just relying on the terrain to delay the defense?"
"Father, why did you bring me here..." Wu Lie lost his energy when Wu Kunhu said this, and couldn't help complaining.
Wu Kunhu said angrily: "Do you think that I would take this counter-insurgency mission not because of you? This is a ready-made military achievement! Since entering Lizhou, the command has been arranged by you, just to let you earn more Credit."
"If you want military merit, you will earn it yourself. Why do you want such military merit? It's despicable!" Wu Liewen said in a low voice. "Tomorrow, my baby will have a stomachache, so I won't be able to go to Muyuling, father, please find someone else to go!"
Wu Lie was supposed to be a strong person. Originally, Wu Kunhu didn't say anything, but he was very enthusiastic in directing. Now when he heard that this was the case, he suddenly lost interest.
"You brat! Are you going to piss your father off?" Wu Kunhu was furious.
Wu Lie sneered and said: "You don't mean what you say. You agreed to marry Yan Luoying for me, but nothing happened. Instead, you made it out for me to take such shameful credit. I'm afraid Yan Luoying will despise you when you go back." .”
Wu Kunhu was so hung up that he didn't die of anger, and said angrily: "You! Do you think military merit is so easy to earn? Which general was not killed out of the dead? This time the credit is for nothing, although it is said that there will be no big rewards , but the victory lies in stability. Your father and I took this task for you, and you still say this and that, and you don’t know what’s good! Didn’t you see that His Majesty also let Su Changqing’s eldest son, Su Cheng, come with the army? Both The things you know well, you are Gao Jie! I think about Yan Luoying all day long, if you become a top-notch person of the younger generation, what woman can't marry?"
"To be top-notch is to come out to fight this kind of bad battle? It's worth not to be top-notch!" Wu Lie turned his head and left.
Seeing him running away, Wu Kunhu only felt that one head and two big ones!
What is this called!
Although there are no fathers and sons in the army, but that's just to listen to, is it his own son, can he cut off his head
But the next morning, something happened that made Wu Kunhu even more angry.
"What? You said that Wu Lie rode out of the camp alone last night? He hasn't returned yet?"
have to! As soon as Wu Kunhu guessed, he knew that Wu Lie must have run away by himself.
He guessed right, Wu Lie was angry, thinking about the smooth sailing of the battle, it was even worse, and he planned to return to the capital by himself.
He hurried all night and came to Yong County.
Wu Lie planned to go in to buy some meat, but he came out in a hurry last night, so he brought some dry food and water.
At this time in Yong County, Su Wen and Murong Yan are leading a group of people to buy. After all, there are thousands of people, and the daily consumption of meat is not small. There is no refrigerator these days, so they can only buy regularly.
The two were walking in the busy city, when Su Wen suddenly saw a tall and burly figure coming in front of him!
Wu Lie also saw Su Wen, and he was very surprised.
"Su...."
As soon as he said a word, Su Wen had already reflected it.
He cursed angrily in his heart: "You stinking fool! I don't see you being so enthusiastic and greeting me on weekdays, so just pretend you didn't see it and it's over!"
Where would he let Wu Lie call out his name, his face was full of excitement, and he shouted loudly: "Ariel! Ariel! Is it you, Ariel!"
Wu Lie was taken aback by his surprise, and he refused to call out the name on his lips.
