Chapter 243: Recruiting people to join the gang

Wangping County Office

County magistrate Chen Ping paced back and forth in the main hall, frowning.

The chief clerk Li Dan beside him complained in his heart, "Sir, even if you turn around ten or eight times, there is still no way. Please stop turning, there is no way to think of anything except to make him dizzy."

Chen Ping turned back and forth three times, and finally he could only sigh, "Dan, do you think the master's official position is coming to an end?" After so many years of trembling in fear, this time he might be in trouble, the situation this time is very different.

Li Dan was his book boy, the two studied together, and later when he became an official, he gave him a chief clerk.

"Dan doesn't know either."

"It's all the fault of County Lieutenant Lord Le, what can he do with such ability?" Chen Ping muttered.

"Master, be careful with your words!" In the previous battle, Lord Le first saved Liaoyang from danger, and then ambushed in Houcheng, captured Tuoba Lian who had returned the gun alive, and prevented Houcheng from being attacked.

In these two battles, Lord Le saved many people in Liaodong County, and the people are very grateful to him.

Chen Ping: If you don't want to say it, then don't say it! He said something else!

"Dan, what kind of shit luck do you think Zheng Qiao has?"

Before, he just felt a little envious when he heard that someone was willing to take over his position as county magistrate.

But at this critical moment, the successor actually came, allowing him to get out smoothly and escape from this place of trouble. Did this guy step on dog shit when he went out?

Don't ask him why he knows so much, it's all because this guy actually borrowed the road from Wangping, took his trusted team, dragged his family to the west, and said he was going to Jizhou to take office.

This made him envious.

Zheng Qiao ran away, and ran away legitimately.

He couldn't run away, because he would be guilty of a big crime.

Therefore, even if the position under his butt is very hot, he can't leave.

Alas, why is he not so lucky? Unlike Zheng Qiao, there is such a sucker who is willing to take over the position under his butt.

"Sir, there is an official letter from Houcheng."

Chen Ping stretched out his hand, "Give it to me."

He wanted to see what the new Houcheng County Magistrate had to say.

When Chen Ping first opened the official letter, he was still careless, but when he saw the middle, he couldn't help but jump up.

Li Dan looked at him. What was written in the official letter that made him so excited?

"Dan, the new Houcheng County Magistrate actually said that there is a way to settle this dispute and asked me to come over to discuss the big plan together. Do you think I should go?" When asking this question, Chen Ping handed the official letter to Li Dan.

Li Dan read it quickly and said, "Go. Anyway, you can't solve the problem at hand."

At the end of the letter, it was written that if they didn't come, they would be responsible for it themselves. Isn't it clear that if they didn't go, they wouldn't play with them.

At this time, the people below came to report that Liu Heshan, the county magistrate of Wuliu County, was visiting.

Chen Ping naturally invited.

Liu Heshan came in with a zigzag step. As soon as he came in, he asked directly, "Have you received the official letter from Houcheng County Magistrate Lv Desheng?"

"You received it too?"

"Are you going?"

"Yes!"

"Then let's go and see. Without three or two, you dare not go to Liangshan. I heard that this Lord Lv Desheng was very powerful when he was in Chang'an. Maybe he really has a way to solve this urgent problem."

After making a decision, the two of them rushed to Houcheng without stopping.

Here, Le Guicai arrived in Houcheng first. When he came, he looked more tired than the previous two days.

He has been busy these days. If it weren't for the letter they sent, which was stamped with the seal of Houcheng County Magistrate, he really couldn't spare the time to come.

Lv Desheng heard that he arrived first, so he decided to meet him first, instead of waiting for Chen Ping and Liu Heshan to arrive and discuss together.

He planned to defeat them one by one. If Le Guicai was dealt with, the next two would be more effective.

Upon seeing Lv Desheng, Le Guicai looked him up and down, and then went straight to the point, "Are you the new magistrate of Houcheng County?"

"Yes, I am Lv Desheng, formerly the Imperial Censor of the court, and now the new magistrate of Houcheng County."

"You said in the letter that there is a way to resolve the current crisis and settle this dispute without bloodshed?"

"Yes."

"How to do it?"

"I plan to take the lead in negotiating with the Xianbei royal court, and I need to borrow Tuoba Lian from Lord Le. As long as the other party agrees to negotiate, I am sure that this matter will end here."

Le Guicai looked at him suspiciously. He, "You? Take the lead?"

Lü Desheng straightened his chest, "Yes, I will take the lead."

Le Guicai was silent for a while before saying, "Excuse me, how can you, a county magistrate, bypass the county governor or even the governor to take the lead in negotiations? What qualifications do you have?"

"You know the character of the governor and the county governor Zheng Xun. They will not care about the lives of the people in Liaodong County. So, I decided to take the lead and be responsible for negotiating with the Xianbei."

Le Guicai knew that what he said was true, "Are you really sure?"

"Really! I am willing to issue a military order." Lü Desheng thought to himself, my daughter, Dad has suffered a lot this time.

Le Guicai was silent.

Lv Desheng took it as his tacit consent to this cooperation, and asked with a smile, "Lord Le, Tuoba Lian is still in your hands, right? In order to get the Xianbei to agree to negotiate, I need your help, I need to borrow Tuoba Lian."

"Why?"

"Lord Le, please take him to Houcheng first, and leave the rest to me." Lv Desheng said, "In addition, Tuoba Lian must be protected, and make sure he is always in your hands and alive, that's all."

"Lord Le, you have to believe me. My daughter, son-in-law and I are all tied to Houcheng. I will definitely work hard to do this well."

"Your daughter and son-in-law?"

"Qin family, Qin Sheng is my son-in-law!"

Le Guicai suddenly realized that it was them.

"Lord Le, we only need to borrow Tuoba Lian for a while, and you don't need to do anything else."

"I believe that the situation has developed to this point, and you must have thought about returning Tuoba Lian. But you didn't do it, it must be because you know in your heart that even if you return the person, the Xianbei will have to retaliate, and they will vent their anger on the land of Liaodong County."

"In this case, why don't you let me try?"

"Okay, I promise you!"

Lv Songli knew that persuading Le Guicai, a local general, from this aspect would get a satisfactory result.

So, don't kill everything. If you let the opponent see no hope, the opponent will fight back desperately, and it doesn't matter if the fish die and the net is broken. The Xianbei is too domineering and murderous.

"Sir Le, I have also invited two county magistrates from Pingwang and Wuliu counties. Can you wait? We can discuss it together later." Lu Desheng wanted to borrow the already persuaded Le Guicai.

Le Guicai nodded.
