Chapter 433 Meeting with Lu Wenhan

Qilin County.

County government.

As a prosperous county in the south of the Yangtze River, the entire county is also majestic. In the courtyard, there are small bridges, flowing water, rockeries and huge rocks.

Wei Zheng was sitting in the pavilion, looking at the officials in front of him with a calm expression.

"Sir, this is what His Highness King Qi Lin means..."

"So what?" Wei Zheng stared and said in a deep voice: "The imperial court has an order that local vassal kings are not allowed to interfere in local government affairs without authorization. Although King Qi Lin is granted the title of Qilin County, he has no right to interfere with the affairs of our county government."

"No matter who he is, as long as he violates the national law, he will be dealt with strictly according to the law!"

Listening to the sonorous and powerful words of their own county governor, all the subordinate officials were in trouble.

"But, that person is the right-hand man of His Highness King Qi Lin, who has overall power in the Prince Qi Lin's Mansion. If we go to get him now, if His Highness King Qi Lin finds out about it!"

"You mean that people who come to the palace can violate the laws of the country?"

"No……"

Seeing the upright look on Wei Zheng's face, everyone under his command couldn't help but laugh or cry. It seemed that the Sheriff had made it clear that he wanted to confront Prince Qilin's Mansion head-on!

"Go, gather a group of government officials, and I will personally go to Prince Qilin's Mansion to get the person."

"promise!"

…

Beijing.

The residence of the Right Prime Minister.

After taking a rest today, Zhuge Liang presented a greeting card and sat in the pavilion opposite Shen Li. The two made tea and discussed Taoism. For a while, they felt very comfortable.

"Kong Ming, what do you think of the current situation in the DPRK?"

"Mr. Shen, Your Majesty intends to implement reforms. During this period, not only has the reform of the military system been blocked, but it has also been difficult to implement the imperial examination system."

"Now, His Highness King Yong broke the rules and went north, instantly attracting the attention of the entire court."

Zhuge Liang's eyes were deep and he said calmly: "This game is also a game between His Majesty and the courtiers. If the Lu family is uprooted, then Your Majesty can take advantage of the situation to conquer the two counties in Jiangbei and eliminate a long-standing trouble."

"From now on, I will become even more powerful."

"But if the Lu family survives smoothly, not only will His Majesty be in a passive state, but His Highness King Yong may... also suffer a defeat."

"yes!"

Shen Li also had a sigh on his face, and said softly: "Although a group of corrupt officials have been removed from the court, your Majesty wants to change, and it is the civil and military interests of the court that are affected."

"Although His Majesty stands directly on the opposite side of them, His Highness King Yong's coming forward is tantamount to breaking up with them."

"The outcome of this round is unpredictable!"

Hearing Shen Li's emotion, Zhuge Liang shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen. As long as His Highness King Yong takes action, this game will be won."

"The Lu family has accumulated over hundreds of years and has an unfathomable foundation. If we take advantage of the troubled times and rise up, no one in the world will be able to stop them!"

"But now, His Majesty is sitting firmly in the middle of the court, and the border troops are suppressing all sides."

"When Your Highness led the troops north, the outcome was already decided."

"Kong Ming, in your opinion, where should we start with the current situation?"

"Military system!"

Zhuge Liang thought for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty has always wanted to reform the military system, just to take back the centralized power."

"Today, our military system in Dayu is in chaos, and the frontier army system is almost collapsed. I don't know how many people are living on empty wages, and local county soldiers have become vassals of aristocratic families."

"Reform of the military system is imperative."

"Okay, then tomorrow morning, I will bring up the reform of the military system to help His Majesty!"

…

Jiangdong, Changyan.

County Hall.

"Your Highness, the entire Changyan has been sealed off by us, and scouts are patrolling fifty miles away from Changyan."

"Um!"

Ning Fan nodded and looked at Chen Qingzhi: "Have you ever found out the whereabouts of the Lu family's private soldiers?"

"Never!"

Chen Qingzhi's face showed a look of concentration, and he said solemnly: "The land of Changyan has complex terrain and scattered mountains. It is too easy to hide tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the deep mountains."

"During this period, the Lu family has not contacted the outside world, and the food transport team seems to have stopped."

Ning Fan nodded and looked at Wei Jin: "Have the Jinyi Guards found any evidence of the Lu family's rebellion?"

"Back to Your Highness, the Lu family's butts have been wiped clean. The playboys in the house, and those who used to bully men and dominate women, have all been sent to the government on their own initiative."

"All the local officials who colluded with the Lu family have been captured, but the evidence is... not enough to identify the Lu family."

"Besides, the Lu family is the prince's house and established the country for me, Dayu. Even if it is his subordinates who investigate the case,

Upon hearing Wei Jin's report, a sneer appeared on Ning Fan's face: "It's really well hidden!"

"Since the official matter cannot be resolved, let's leave it to

"Your Highness, Lord Lu seems to be interested in meeting you."

"oh?"

A look of surprise appeared on Ning Fan's face, and he said with a smile: "See, since the Marquis wants to see me, I naturally want to see him."

"yes!"

Wei Jin bowed respectfully, and Ning Fan looked at Dian Wei and said, "Evil comes, go and prepare some vicious dogs."

"promise!"

Not long after, Lu Wenhan arrived at Changyan County Mansion wearing splendid clothes and sat down in the garden. Ning Fan stopped for a long time before raising his feet to greet him.

"Master Hou, I've been waiting for a long time."

When Lu Wenhan saw Ning Fan's figure, he stood up quickly and bowed respectfully: "See His Highness King Yong. When I saw him today, he was indeed in his prime and majestic!"

"Ha ha!"

"The Marquis is overly praised."

"I have heard that the Marquis is always strong and healthy. He is over sixty years old, but he still takes care of state affairs. He works hard every day to secure the land of Yanbei River and the two armies. I admire him very much!"

"Why did Your Highness say this?" Lu Wenhan laughed, and said calmly: "I have always stayed behind closed doors, and I have no time to interfere with government affairs."

"well said!"

Ning Fan smiled, looked at the servant aside, and laughed and said, "Come here, let's have some tea." "

"yes!"

Two cups of hot tea were brought up. Lu Wenhan squinted his eyes and said calmly: "Your Highness, I came here today because of the disappearance of my Lu family. Just before His Highness entered the city, dozens of people from my Lu family The junior disappeared from the house overnight."

"Originally, this matter will be investigated by the county government, but now, the Changyan County government has been wiped out by His Highness. I can only blame His Highness for this matter."

"Oh?" Ning Fan seemed shocked when he heard this: "Dozens of juniors disappeared overnight?"

"Could it be that the Marquis is joking with me?"

"How could I make a joke about this?"

Lu Wenhan squinted his eyes, with a fierce aura on his body, and said calmly: "This matter is related to the inheritance of my Marquis Mansion. No matter what, I will never give up."

"Since the founding of the country by Dayu, our Marquis Mansion has never been so offended by Xiaoxiao!"

"Your Highness, a rabbit can bite people when it's anxious!"

When Ning Fan heard this, he also chuckled and said calmly: "After taking over the county mansion yesterday, I found that there were several vicious dogs in Governor Li's mansion. Why don't the Marquis take them back to the home to look after them?"
