My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 164 The New Jiuyuan County Magistrate
After Lu Yi killed Wang Zhi, he took away Wang Zhi's head and some research samples.

Lu Yi found a shielded place and buried the other bodies on the spot.

When it comes to destroying corpses and covering up traces, Lu Yi's team is already very experienced.

This time he only brought more than 200 of his most trusted people, not even Lu Bu.

Lu Bu had just gotten married, so Lu Yi naturally had to leave him some time for his honeymoon.

Moreover, although this matter involves killing a corrupt official, it is still against the harmony of nature, so it is better not to let the newlywed Lu Bu be too involved.

In addition to contributing his own head, Wang Zhi also gave all his last property to Lu Yi.

However, these properties were prepared by Wang Zhi in a hurry and did not account for the majority of his actual assets.

But even so, Lu Yi also made a huge windfall of more than 20 million yuan.

After distributing the combat rewards, Lu Yi still had 20 million yuan left.

This money was enough for Lu Yi to find a place among the thousand counties in the world to be a prefect.

It is already higher than Lu Yi’s income from one business trip.

However, going to other places requires re-organizing local relationships, which is equivalent to starting from scratch, and is really not cost-effective.

Lu Yi's current goal and energy are focused on Jiuyuan, where the relationships are simple and easy to operate.

Therefore, it is necessary to elect a trustworthy person to be the mayor of Jiuyuan County.

After finishing the finishing work.

Lu Yi immediately found Zhang Xun and brought him to Luwu.

"Brother, I wonder what you think of the matter I discussed with you and my father-in-law last time?"

"What Sixiao is talking about is what we mentioned last time, about manipulating me to become the magistrate of Jiuyuan County?"

Zhang Xun was stunned when he heard this and asked subconsciously.

"That's exactly what happened."

Lu Yi smiled.

"But I have never been an official before. Now I am directly appointed as the head of a county. I am afraid that I will not do a good job and ruin your great plan!"

Zhang Xun felt a little nervous when he heard this. A few years ago, he was a knight-errant who only knew how to be brave and aggressive.

Although I have taken over some matters of the caravan thanks to Lu Yi this year, my abilities and vision have been greatly improved.

But now Lu Yi is forcing him to be the mayor of Jiuyuan County, so he still doesn't have much confidence in himself.

“Everyone has a first time.”

However, Lu Yi kept comforting him.

"With my uncle's talent, wouldn't it be easy for him to become a county magistrate?"

"What's more, I have already made arrangements for Jiuyue County. The Jiuyuan County Magistrate Huang Huan is already deeply bound to my Lu family. I have already fed him well. The entire Jiuyuan County is under your control, so basically there won't be too much difficulty."

"So that's how it is!" Zhang Xun felt relieved.

But there are still some concerns.

"This Jiuyuan County Magistrate is appointed by the imperial court. Brother-in-law, are you so sure that the imperial court will approve my appointment?"

"Haha, now the court has money to pave the way. As long as you have money, it's not a problem for my brother-in-law to become the head of a county without ever being an official. Even if he goes one step further and becomes a county governor with a salary of 2,000 dan!"

"Moreover, we now hold the heads of Wang Zhi and other remnants of Wang Fu in our hands. This is a great achievement. The position of a county magistrate is just a piece of cake!"

Lu Yi continued to explain. "It's just that according to convention, my uncle doesn't have the background of a filial and honest official, so I'm afraid it will be a little difficult for him to get a normal promotion in the future."

"That's nothing. My Zhang family has saved a lot of money thanks to my brother-in-law. It's just a waste of money."

Zhang Xun waved his hands when he heard this, not caring at all.

Now the Zhang family is already considered a small wealthy family. With the cash flow from the Lu family caravan, they have changed their previous conservative strategy and are ready to invest more in the rise of the Zhang family, hoping to restore the Nie family name as soon as possible.

"Well, since my uncle has agreed, I will inform Huang Huan to go to the prefecture to make arrangements for you. It is already mid-November. I believe that by the end of this month, my uncle will be able to become the chief official of Jiuyuan County!"

Seeing that the matter had been settled, Lu Yi made the decision.

"I want to be an official too!" But Zhang Xun was still a little confused. It seemed that he still found it hard to believe that a commoner like himself could directly become a county magistrate.

"County magistrate is just a starting point. My uncle's future prospects will definitely be more than this."

However, Lu Yi patted Zhang Xun on the shoulder and hinted.

In late November, Lu Yi, through his operations, also took advantage of the lives of the brothers Wang Zhi and Wang Li, and successfully put all the credit on Zhang Xun.

In this way, Wang Zhi was killed by an enthusiastic citizen Zhang Xun when he was fleeing for fear of crime. Because of his merits, Zhang Xun was appointed as the county magistrate of Jiuyuan County by the court.

Zhang Xun immediately transformed himself from an ordinary citizen into an official appointed by the imperial court, holding the lives and deaths of the people in the county in his hands.

Of course, Wang Zhi’s contribution is enough.

However, in order to specifically choose Jiuyuan County as the location for the position, Lu Yi and Zhang spent a lot of money on handling the matter.

However, Jiuyuan County has truly become Lu Yi's base camp since then. Not only can Lu Yi do whatever he wants in the local area, but he can also freely place and cultivate his own forces.

From now on, Zhang Xun will be there to protect Lu Yi from the wind and rain in the officialdom, to conceal Lu Yi's momentum, to avoid the prying of some interested people, and to provide the necessary cover for Lu Yi's continued growth.

Therefore, this money is well worth spending and is very necessary.

The impact of Wang Fu's fall from power was huge and spread quickly.

But it ended extremely hastily.

After Yang Qiu dealt with Wang Fu without telling the emperor, he was also implicated and died at the speed of light almost along with Wang Fu.

The laughter didn't last long, as Yang Qiu also died for his sins.

Just kidding, Wang Fu was the emperor's close attendant, and most of what he did was actually in compliance with the emperor's orders.

No matter how bold and reckless Wang Fu was, he would never betray Liu Hong, to whom he depended.

However, the nobles represented by Yang Qiu thought that by knocking out Wang Fu, they could turn the tables and start enjoying privileges without any hindrance.

However, the imperial power, which conflicts with the interests of the literati, will certainly not go as they wish.

Whether it was because of killing the loyal dog raised by Liu Hong or trying to snatch food from Liu Hong's plate, it was something Liu Hong could not tolerate.

Therefore, the destruction of the Yang Ball is only a matter of time.

From then on, one of the emperor's arms was cut off, and the nobles also suffered heavy losses because of Yang Qiu's death.

It's a lose-lose situation.

The struggle between the gentry, who have exposed their intentions, and Liu Hong has been brought to the forefront, and the political struggle between the two will rise to a higher level in the future.

On the contrary, Lu Yi, a small and unknown person on the border, with the help of the prophet and his own operations, not only successfully extricated himself from the situation, but also took this opportunity to bring the entire Jiuyuan into his sphere of influence.

A special winner indeed.
