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

Chapter 39: There are some old accounts, it’s time to settle them
Under the leadership of the Black Tiger Army, King Liang and his party walked towards the county government office.

Prince Liang looked around through the curtain, always on the lookout for any ambush, and he was extremely vigilant.

Inadvertently, he discovered that this Qinghe County seemed to be somewhat beyond his expectation.

There is good order here, everything is well organized, there are almost no refugees on the road, and the people even look a little glowing.

This is really counterintuitive.

"Haha, you want to win over the people and conquer the world by winning the hearts of the people? You are naive."

King Liang sneered in his heart, guessing Jiang Linglong's intention of doing this, and was quite disdainful.

In his opinion, if you want to win the world, people's support is not important, but reputation is more important.

Of course, this does not include reputation among the people.

Especially refers to the reputation in the aristocratic sect.

Reputation can protect oneself from being attacked by others, making one's name justifiable and upright.

As long as you can get the support of the family members and have enough confidence and strength, then the world is in your hands.

Su Quan, the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, could achieve this step by relying on some noble families in the imperial city?
As for the life and death of the people, no one cares.

Ordinary people have no help at all when the war comes.

Only warriors with strength are the ones they want to win over.

Most of the warriors came from aristocratic families, although some would appear from time to time among ordinary people, but such people tended to seek refuge in aristocratic families. Who would make a living for the common people?
Even if the people are dissatisfied and unite, they will become a mob and can easily suppress it, so there is no threat at all.

"My lord, here we are."

While thinking, Prince Liang and his party had arrived at the gate of the county government office.

The guards quickly opened the curtain and welcomed King Liang.

Prince Liang got off the carriage and saw that there was still no one to greet him at the gate of the county government office, and his brows jumped.

The so-called Princess of Zhou and the Jiupin County Magistrate really didn't take him, Prince Liang, seriously at all!
His temper was not bad, but he couldn't help but feel a little angry at this moment.

In normal times, I would have ordered the county government office to be razed to the ground.

But thinking of the purpose of his visit, he could only suppress his anger, snorted coldly, and walked into the county government office with a wave of his sleeves.

The Qinghe County Government Office is very simple, with only a small courtyard at the entrance, and the front hall is the place where justice cases are usually redressed.

There was no one else inside at the moment.

There was a person sitting in a high position behind the case, and another person sitting beside him.

King Liang's first sight fell on the man sitting in the high seat.

I saw that the man was young, with long hair tied up in a crown, wearing jade on the crown, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose, a pair of narrow eyes, as deep as a deep pool, making it difficult to tell the depth.

Wearing a blue robe, he looks a little more bookish, like a handsome young man.

"It's you!"

The first moment King Liang saw Lu Yuan, he was stunned.

He didn't remember Lu Yuan's name, but he was very impressed with his face.

When he made a pilgrimage to Beijing, it happened to be the time when Lu Yuan was named on the gold medal list. He saw Lu Yuan's performance before the palace examination with his own eyes, and he admired Lu Yuan very much at that time.

Later, when Lu Yuan was not allowed to reuse him and even proposed to reduce the vassal status, his impression suddenly changed greatly.

After Lu Yuan was demoted, he even sent someone to solicit Lu Yuan, wanting to take Lu Yuan under his command and make suggestions for him, but unfortunately he was rejected.

In the blink of an eye, 20 years have passed.

What King Liang didn't expect was that in 20 years, he had changed from a middle-aged man to an old man, but Lu Yuan's appearance had not changed at all. He was still the same talented scholar as before. This is really unbelievable. .

After a brief daze, King Liang recovered and walked towards the hall.

The guards and Grand Master behind him wanted to follow, but were stopped by the Black Tiger Army.

"Bold!"

Mo Xiaochou's eyes widened and he shouted in a low voice.

The Black Tiger Army did not give in. King Liang saw this and waved his hand to stop Mo Xiaochou, "You can just stay here."

In his eyes, Lu Yuan alone was not a threat.After saying that, he came to the hall.

"Prince Liang, I haven't seen you in 20 years. You have aged a lot."

Lu Yuan smiled and spoke.

"I didn't expect you to have offended Su Quan and the kings, and you are still alive today. It's really surprising."

King Liang narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke with emotion.

From the first moment they met, he already knew that Lu Yuan was different now than before.

After three days of separation, we should look at each other with admiration.

So at this moment, even though Lu Yuan was sitting in a high position, he was not in a hurry to convict and question him. He just wanted to find out what Lu Yuan was going to do?
"I'm flattered that Prince Liang still remembers me."

Lu Yuan remained calm.

"Dazhou is the first candidate in history to pass the literary test with full marks. It's hard not to remember."

"It's just that, until now, I still don't understand. Why did you say something like that in the palace examination when you can clearly achieve success?"

King Liang asked the question that had puzzled him for a long time.

Lu Yuan shook his head, "The past is like smoke, there is no need to mention it again."

"Today, I came to see you not to catch up with you."

"Oh? What do you want?"

King Liang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and waited for the next words, looking confident and confident.

"It's just some accounts, and it's time to settle them."

Lu Yuan smiled.

"Settling accounts? Hahaha..."

King Liang was startled, and then he couldn't help laughing, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

The laughter was loud, echoing in the lobby, full of sarcasm.

"Then I'm all ears. I wonder what kind of accounts Mr. Lu wants to settle with me?"

If it had been anyone else, King Liang would have been too lazy to say anything, but this person was Lu Yuan, and he would have liked to hear more.

Of course, he is like this because he has full confidence.

Not to mention his guards at the door, his own strength is also extraordinary, and he who can be crowned king is also very talented in the royal family, and he has been specially cultivated by the royal family since he was a child.

As early as more than ten years ago, his strength had reached its peak and entered the late stage of Grand Master.

It can be said that how many people in this world can be his opponents?
Without this strength, how could he dare to stand on his own and try to dominate the world?
Lu Yuan was just a third-rate warrior who had just entered martial arts 20 years ago during the imperial examination.

What makes Lu Yuan impressive is that he has no outstanding martial arts talent and is the only one who made an exception in the literary examination to enter the palace examination.

Such a person is talented in making suggestions.

But in terms of force, in today's world, anyone can defeat him, right?

20 years have passed, how strong can Lu Yuan be?
Even if Lu Yuan didn't know how to lure the Grand Master to defect, in his eyes, he was still nothing more than an ant.

"Prince Liang should still remember the assassination of Princess Qingli in Liangzhou ten years ago, right?"

Lu Yuan was also smiling, but he looked calm from beginning to end.

"Master Lu asked me about this, so I think I should know something."

King Liang's mind changed and he guessed that the previous Princess Zhou was indeed Jiang Qingli.

However, he showed no fear and smiled lightly.

"But, so what?"

"Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty has been overthrown and the late emperor has died, what can we do even if we know the truth?"

"Master Lu, are you trying to stand up for Princess Qingli?"

"Do you think you have that ability?"
