Yu Tao was a man of his word. He kept his promise and did so. In the early morning of the sixth day, he rushed back to the capital in the dark, carrying a shuttle to ensure that the emperor would be in a good mood to attend the morning court.
The Dongwang Mansion family set out on the day Yu Tao arrived in Dongwang County. The average weight was touching, and the number of people in the convoy reached an astonishing 200. On the day of departure, the people lined the streets to see them off for fifty miles.
Spontaneous, no one organized.
The scene was packed with people and the cries were like thunder. If you didn’t know, you would think that the East King’s lineage was very popular!
It is true to say so. From a certain perspective, the Palace of the Eastern Prince is quite popular.
When the King of East left, there was peace in the King of East County. When the King of East left, the bright sky came.
For a time, the newly arrived county magistrate Zhu Shiqiu was awarded the title of Honest Judge, and his prestige among the people increased dramatically.
There is no need to compare who is worse. The people are convinced that no one can be worse than the East Palace. Even if a pig is the prefect, he is still a pig with the mark of "honest official".
Although it was disrespectful to Zhu Shiqiu to say this, it also indirectly showed how unpopular the Dongwang Mansion was in Dongwang County. This family's move away was what everyone expected.
As a result, the reputation of Wu Zhou Emperor Zhu Qiyou in Dongwang County also improved a lot. With three consecutive leaps, he entered the ranks of the greatest emperors of all time. His power as a wise ruler was almost as great as that of the founding emperor, and he left the old emperor Zhu Bangchun so far behind that he could not even see the taillights of his car.
The entire Dongwang County was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and the Dongwang family on a long journey were the same. They really believed that the Xuanyin Division was escorting them to the capital, and they would return home soon after outings along the way.
There are two exceptions.
One was the Eastern King Zhu Minjun. The moment he boarded the carriage, he looked dozens of years older. Before leaving, he met with Yu Tao and said that he wanted to give him a fortune.
The two met in the carriage and had a small chat over a cup of tea.
Afterwards, Yu Tao left in a hurry with an extremely solemn expression and said only two words.
Can survive.
After getting his promise, Zhu Minjun was cheered up. He set off with his family, smiling, humming a little tune and looking at the scenery, feeling extremely comfortable.
The other was the eldest son, and as a book artist, he knew that this trip was over and the emperor would not let anyone go, not him.
…
As for Lu Bei, after the Dongwang Mansion was sealed off, he temporarily took over the public security work of Dongwang County, dispatching a large number of arrest missions every day. He earned a lot of experience and his inventory quickly accumulated to 50 million.
It turns out that confiscating property can not only make money, but also gain experience. He was narrow-minded before and underestimated the Xuanyinsi.
As the task outbreak period ended, the frequency of daily stamping was far less than before. He didn't want to sit in the office all day, so according to the players' online and offline schedules, he stipulated that the task lists should be posted at a temporary station at noon every day. First come, first served, and no one after the time would be allowed to take the task.
After becoming increasingly formalized, this rule will be extended to the Xuanyin Division of Jiuzhu Mountain and the Huangji Sect's camp, and the task list will be refreshed every three days.
And he tries to save time as much as possible so that he can free up his hands to deal with other things.
for example…
Yizhou, Nanyang County, Changming Prefecture.
Lu Bei climbed over the courtyard wall skillfully, and was impressed by how his cousin made a fortune every day. Everyone in the royal family was good at making money.
He was a familiar face. He was strolling around the mansion alone. The guards and maids passing by saw him but pretended not to see him.
Quiet room.
Lu Bei failed to find Zhu Qilan. Sensing his presence, he blocked Butler Yu in the study and told him his purpose: he was here to complete a mission.
I'm going to the camp to hand over my mission. What are you doing here at home
Steward Yu secretly despised someone who said one thing and meant another, and fearing that he would be bullied by his male master in the future, he said calmly, "His Highness is bathing in the backyard room for half an hour. He will be gone in another half an hour."
"She rubs the ashes for an hour. Is she made of mud?"
Lu Bei complained that princess syndrome is troublesome and there are many symptoms, mysophobia is one of them. It is not known whether it is effective or not, but the traffic consumption is extremely alarming.
To be precise, it is a psychological cleanliness. He is born with a natural fasting habit and does not get dust on his body. He smells good even if he does not take a bath for three months. Zhu Qilan is a refining virtual being, and he takes a bath for an hour every day. He definitely has a psychological problem.
People with a normal mentality, like Mr. Lu, save water and haven't taken a shower for more than half a month.
This is how cultivating immortality works.
Butler Yu rolled his eyes, pointed in the direction of the backyard, and asked Lu Bei whether he should wait there or go over to take a look.
Good man, you really don’t treat me as an outsider!
Lu Bei sternly rejected the kindness of Butler Yu. He came to see Zhu Qilan today for business. During working hours, subordinates were not allowed to kiss their superiors, and taking a bath together was even more impossible.
After waiting for a long time and asking housekeeper Yu to urge him several times, Lu Bei finally saw Zhu Qilan who had finished dressing up. The latter glanced at him indifferently, with a very cold attitude, and did not say anything nonsense, and went to the quiet room to practice dual cultivation for an hour.
"You haven't come to see me these days. Are you so busy?" Zhu Qilan asked with a frown after finishing his practice.
I don't mean anything else. I'm just used to the added benefits of dual cultivation and can't stand the slow pace of practicing alone.
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, I have been busy with the affairs of the East Palace for a while. This is a task you personally assigned to me!" Lu Bei looked loyal to the emperor and patriotic. When talking about official business, he no longer called the other party "cousin".
"hehe."
Zhu Qilan smiled coldly: "I asked you to capture the master alive, but I didn't ask you to confiscate the entire East Palace. You are so greedy!"
"I will eradicate all evil, and I am doing this for Your Majesty."
Lu Bei glanced at the empty quiet room and whispered, "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the Purple Guards of the Xuanyin Division have received a secret report, and the information is confirmed to be true. The confiscation of property was authorized by His Majesty, and the Xuanwei Yu Tao is in charge of the overall situation. I have no choice."
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me everything that happened in the East Palace these days, no matter how big or small."
"That is to say..."
Lu Bei talked about what had happened during this period in a babble, downplaying the existence of himself and Hu San, and emphasizing that Zhu Qiyu and Yu Tao were commanders, implying that the two of them were making a lot of money and were extremely shameless, and were actually thieves of the country.
In between, there were a few dirty jokes that he thought were very humorous, which made Zhu Qilan's face turn black, and he waved his hand like shooing away a fly, asking him to stay away from him.
Ignoring the exaggerated description, Zhu Qilan roughly understood what happened in Dongwang County. He said "it served you right" without making any comment, and then pondered for a while.
"Commander-in-chief, the task you assigned me has been successfully completed. Look... I am already thirsty for loyalty and patriotism. Is it time to refresh?" Lu Bei asked, rubbing his hands.
Zhu Qilan did not answer, but slowly said: "My brother, what is your purpose in attacking the East King's lineage? Is it to reduce the power of the vassal states, or is it just to seize the wealth of the East King's lineage?"
Lu Bei shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"How could you not know that your royal brother instructed you to confiscate the property? Didn't he give you any instructions before that?" Zhu Qilan frowned, feeling deeply dissatisfied that the two of them had colluded with each other but excluded her.
"have."
"Hurry up and tell me."
"More money!"
"you… "
Zhu Qilan glared at Lu Bei angrily, then swung his sleeves and said, "The money is easy to talk about. Bai Yu will take you to the warehouse. Is five hundred thousand enough?"
It’s only 500,000, who are you looking down on
Lu Bei's eyes flashed with contempt. With a net worth of over 100 million, he was free from such low tastes as money. He could say from the bottom of his heart that he did not love money. He curled his lips and said, "Commander-in-chief, who do you think I am? When I said to increase the price, I did not mean to raise the price. It was His Majesty who conveyed the order to 'increase the price'."
"… "
"It is difficult to say exactly how much money Your Majesty received from the confiscation of property this time. I can only say that the wealth received by the national treasury was less than 20% of Your Majesty's."
"… "
Zhu Qilan closed her eyes and said nothing. Sadly, none of the men around her were good.
The training was over, the work report was over, Lu Bei switched the address, opening his mouth and closing his mouth to call cousin, which made Zhu Qilan annoyed, so he refreshed the task decisively and asked him to get out.
Before leaving, I would like to give him a piece of advice: a diligent person is not a lazy person, so let him be more diligent and not always work hard for three days and rest for two days.
Translation Translation, Lu Bei has been lazy about dual cultivation recently, which is not good and a waste of talent. She is unhappy.
Lu Bei readily agreed and promised to come often next time.
…
After leaving Changming Prefecture, Lu Bei did not return directly to Dongwang County in Ningzhou, but flew westward.
On this trip, on the one hand, he had to hand over the mission of the Huangji Sect, and on the other hand, there was an opportunity waiting for him.
Chen Xuanrou's jade pendant.
Some time ago, Lu Bei met Chen Xuanbin from the Chen family, returned the ashes and relics, and detained Chen Xuanbin on suspicion of treason and genocide.
Afterwards, the Dongwang Mansion was sealed, and the Xuanwei Yu Tao, who was stationed in the capital, came in person, uprooted the Dongwang County officials, and the Dongwang family was escorted to the capital...
The series of changes frightened the Chen family of Ningzhou so much that they quickly brought money to redeem him. They spent a full 10 million yuan plus the deeds for two hilltops with abundant spiritual energy to get Chen Xuanbin back from the Xuanyinsi Yamen.
In the feudal ancient context where there was no spiritual cultivation of immortals, the immortal cultivation family could be regarded as an aristocratic family, a class of large landlords. Before the Zhu family of Wu Zhou attempted to conquer the world, they belonged to this class.
The Chen family of Ningzhou is not a powerful family. After many years of business, the family has a decent amount of wealth. After being stabbed, they were so honest that they didn't dare to complain.
With this example of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, other families in Ningzhou did not dare to act rashly and rushed to the Xuanyinsi government office overnight with their tributes.
Taking the King of East and the Chen family as examples, in the next ten or dozens of years, who are the rebels and who are the obedient citizens in Ningzhou will be decided by Fox Three and Fox Four.
The new official made three big moves upon taking office. All the troublemakers in the area under his jurisdiction were in danger. His goal had been achieved.
The Chen family went to retrieve the people and leave, but Chen Xuanbin didn't want to leave. The pretty boy with effeminate features was unexpectedly very grateful and loyal. In order to repay the kindness of his sister's remains, he degraded himself and stayed in Xuanyin Division to be Lu Bei's lackey.
Lu Bei kicked her away on the spot. It was so funny. She didn't even have a cleavage, but she still wanted to compete for his secretary.
Maybe next life!
Seeing that Lu Bei didn't give them any chance, the Chen family was quite disappointed and dragged away the unyielding Chen Xuanbin.
Because of this incident, Lu Bei once again remembered the jade pendant that he had forgotten about. After studying it for a while, he analyzed a treasure map that showed the location was in Nanding County, Yizhou.
He didn't hold much hope for the opportunities recorded in the treasure map, and since he was already here, he might as well take the opportunity.
It’s not far anyway, I can get there just by flapping my wings.
Then…
By the river, a man is fishing alone, feeling relaxed and content.
"Huh! Huh? Huh—" x2
Lu Bei descended from the clouds and looked at the familiar air force man in surprise: "Big Brother, why are you here?"
"Junior Brother Lu, are you here to fish too?"
"No, I was just passing by..."
Lu Bei didn't know how to answer, so he said awkwardly, "What about you, Senior Brother? You are an Air Force soldier no matter where you are. Do you have to travel so far to Yizhou?"
