I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

Chapter 266 Encirclement and Suppression of Shura Palace

After discussing official matters, Jiang Linglong summoned Youzhou County Governor Luo Yangqiu in again.

"Your Majesty, I am aware of my guilt." Luo Yang Qiucheng was frightened and thought that Jiang Linglong wanted to settle a score with him, so he took the initiative to admit his mistake.

He had indeed communicated with the major aristocratic families in advance, and then found an opportunity at the dinner party to let the heads of the aristocratic families have their say. He is a minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty and cannot directly offend Jiang Linglong, but the family members do not need to pay attention to these things. On the contrary, these people are the targets of Jiang Linglong and must be won over.

If Jiang Linglong wants to gain a foothold in Youzhou, eliminate Su Quan's influence, and gain the support of aristocratic families, winning the hearts and minds of the people is the most important thing. But eradicating the Shura Palace and the Nether Sect is not his only idea. It is also the wish of the people of Youzhou. If Jiang Linglong is investigated, he intends to use this as an excuse to exonerate himself.

"Governor Luo, I summoned you because I want to know what happened in Youzhou recently." Jiang Linglong coughed lightly.

"Your Majesty, many major events have happened in Youzhou recently, including the Shura scholar massacre of the village, the Lion King Contest, and the Nether Sect's sacrificial event. I wonder which one your Majesty would like to know about?" Luo Yangqiu breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the emperor was looking for him to understand the situation.

"The focus is on brother-in-law... ahem, the focus is on Young Master Lu. Tell me clearly what decisions he made and how he performed at the scene. The more detailed the better." Jiang Linglong listened to Gu Changfeng say halfway. She learned some general information, but since she came to Youzhou, she wanted to hear more detailed information.

Lu Yuan changed the rules of the lion dance competition, held a grand sacrificial event of the Nether Sect, and saved the people of Youzhou from fire and water. Everything sounds very interesting. I just regret that I came to Youzhou too late and missed these wonderful events.

But Jiang Linglong only heard half of it and fell asleep on the chair with a smile on her lips. Lu Yuan's experience in Youzhou was like one fairy tale after another to her. Listening to Lu Yuan's deeds, she always felt at ease and inexplicably warm...

"Chief Luo, please step aside first, and I will take care of Your Majesty to rest." Langya Marquis Zhu Xuan said.

"Thank you, General." Luo Yangqiu, the governor of Youzhou County, resigned, but stopped midway, "General, I want to know something, please answer truthfully. Cangyun County Magistrate Lu Yuan, there are rumors in the world that he has stepped into the Land God Wonderland is the biggest supporter behind His Majesty, is this a rumor?"

"Without Mr. Lu's support, wouldn't you be prepared to be loyal to His Majesty?"

"General, I have absolutely no such idea."

Marquis Langya held the black iron spear in his hand, narrowed his eyes and said: "Whether Master Lu is behind your majesty, you will know when it's your turn to know. Luo Yangqiu, your majesty is kind-hearted and considerate of what you did at the dinner. Otherwise, you would have been dead!"

Luo Yangqiu wanted to know if Lu Yuan was the biggest backer behind Jiang Linglong, so as to give him reassurance. Langya Marquis Zhu Xuan knew what he was thinking, but chose not to tell him because Lu Yuan had to decide on his own when to reveal his identity.

"General, calm down, I am loyal to your majesty." Sensing the faint anger in Langya Hou's tone, Luo Yangqiu hurriedly defended: "Let's not mention Lu Yuan, the magistrate of Cangyun County, let's talk about Mr. Lu from Fushun Restaurant. He is the only one. Assist Your Majesty, Na Su Quan will never be able to defeat Your Majesty. General, that Mr. Lu is a dragon among men, I hope Your Majesty can reuse him."

"Your Majesty has his own arrangements."

After Luo Yangqiu went out, he saw Zhu Feng, the crown prince of Yan Kingdom, outside.

"Thank you, shopkeeper, the banquet is over, why didn't you leave?"

"Governor Luo, your majesty had a big fight with Mr. Lu at Fushun Restaurant today. Is there a conflict between your majesty and Mr. Lu?" Zhu Feng didn't know about the relationship between Lu Yuan and Jiang Linglong, and really thought that Jiang Linglong was deliberately looking for trouble with Lu Yuan. . If this is the case, her chance will come and she can try to poach Lu Yuan again to go to Yan Kingdom.

"Your Majesty and Mr. Lu have known each other for a long time. Marquis Langya said that Mr. Lu once taught your majesty about martial arts, and your majesty wanted to compete with him." Luo Yangqiu replied.

"Oh..." Zhu Feng was a little disappointed in his heart, but his expression was very natural, and he thanked: "Thank you, Mr. Luo, for telling me."

At the same time, he secretly guessed in his heart that the relationship between Lu Yuan and Jiang Linglong must be similar to that of master and apprentice. Otherwise, Jiang Linglong would not go to see Lu Yuan immediately when he entered the city, and Lu Yuan would not fail to greet him outside the city. Lu Yuan's status in Jiang Linglong's heart must be very high. It seems that this Mr. Lu is not that Jiang Linglong has not put him in a good position, but that Mr. Lu doesn’t even look down on getting promoted and getting rich! Drawing this conclusion from the clues, Zhu Feng became more interested in Lu Yuan. It's a pity that she can only conquer such a man for one night, and the possibility of poaching Lu Yuan to the Yan Kingdom becomes extremely slim.

"Thank you, shopkeeper, your face is glowing today. Which oiran did you listen to music with last night?"

Recalling the night of lovemaking with Lu Yuan last night, Zhu Feng's face turned red and he replied, "I made you laugh."

"I'm telling you, sir, my subordinates cooperated with Commander Zhao of the Black Tiger Army and took all the waiters and shopkeepers of Qingshiyuan Restaurant and Haige Restaurant into the dungeon. Before my subordinates could execute the punishment on the two of them, shopkeeper Zhan and shopkeeper Yue took everything We've all been hired." One of Luo Yangqiu's subordinates came forward to report on the work.

Luo Yangqiu secretly sighed at the Black Tiger Army's rapid action and asked, "Who is the force behind them?"

"The boss behind Qingshi Garden is from the Yue Kingdom, and the boss behind the Haige Restaurant is from the Chu Kingdom. These two restaurants secretly have a close relationship with the Shura Palace and the Nether Sect."

"Very good, it turns out that foreign forces are in control. According to my order, Qingshiyuan and Haige Restaurant violated the laws of the Zhou Dynasty and were closed down. They deliberately spread remarks on the street to sow discord between Mr. Lu and His Majesty. Their intentions were Dangerous, jailed for three years.”

"Yes, my lord!"

Zhu Feng was shocked, secretly glad to be on Lu Yuan's side.

If she had fought against Lu Yuan like Qingshiyuan Restaurant and Haige Restaurant, she would have been arrested today, and Yueyuehua would have closed down as a result.

"Congratulations to the shopkeeper. From now on, Youzhou will be the world of your September Flower and Fushun Restaurants."

"Please take care of me, sir."

The next morning.

The civil war drums are beating in Youzhou City, and the atmosphere is serious.

Early in the morning, the people saw a large number of soldiers in the city, wearing armor and holding weapons, forming an orderly queue and leaving the city.

"Great, Your Majesty will besiege the Shura Palace today!"

"Shura Palace has done harm to heaven and earth, retribution is coming!"

"On the second day after His Majesty's arrival, he sent troops to deal with Shura Palace. You are worried about the country and the people."

"With the command of General Langyahou, this battle will be won!"

The garrison in Youzhou City met with the Black Tiger Army outside the city and officially began to encircle and suppress Shura Palace.

Luo Yangqiu observed the Black Tiger Army. They were all powerful men, and their combat effectiveness far exceeded that of the soldiers in Youzhou City. He became more confident in this battle. (End of chapter)
