Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 118
Lu Yao's face darkened, and he reprimanded: "What big master, young master, you misidentified the person."

The two yamen servants looked at each other for a moment, and one of the yamen servants with a pretty face said, "Young master, I am Zhao Er. Last time you came to Xinyang City, I followed you. You won't forget me." Well, I still remember, when I took you to the boat, it was Sister Hua!"

snort!
Lu Yao's complexion became darker, and he snorted coldly, knowing that if he refused to admit it, this Zhao Er would have to tell more black material about him, so he finally nodded and said, "I remember, you are Zhao Er, what do you want from me?"

"Master, no, it was the eldest son who heard that you came to Xinyang City, so he ordered us to look for you in the whole city. It was my luck that I bumped into you just as soon as I went out." Zhao Er was beaming. He gave the order, as long as he finds the young master, he will be rewarded with ten liang of silver. He deserves Zhao Er's luck and should make a small fortune.

"Young master?" Wang Mang gave Lu Yao a puzzled look.

Lu Yao said bitterly: "Lu Yuan."

Haha...Although Wang Mang had already guessed, he couldn't help laughing when he received Lu Yao's definite answer, and said, "Your elder brother is really humorous when he calls you home for dinner."

"Hehe." Lu Yao rolled Wang Mang's eyes, hating Wang Mang's undisguised gloating.

Even if the yamen servants found her, Lu Yao knew that she would not be able to escape even if she ran. Although she thought she was very smart, but her brother Lu Yuan was smarter. Apart from Yuan suffering a little loss, the two of them were fighting alone on the surface, and she was never Lu Yuan's opponent.

The Xinyang County Magistrate's Mansion was rebuilt from the original City Lord's Mansion. It occupies a large area and the buildings are quite magnificent. Every county magistrate will live here after taking office here. It has been renovated many times, which makes the thousand-year-old building even more magnificent.

At this moment, Lu Yuan is meeting guests in the living room.

"Lord Wang, it's not that the lower officials don't help, but that the lower officials are really powerless." Lu Yuan frowned and looked at the official in scarlet clothes in front of him.

Officials above the fourth rank of the imperial court wear scarlet clothes, which is also the symbol of high officials in the court. Lu Yuan, as a Xinyang order, is now a fifth-rank official, which is still a bit short of the fourth rank.

Lu Yuan is hosting the River Envoy Wang Wengui. The imperial court has set up thirteen river yamen and thirteen river envoys, all of whom are fourth-rank officials. The fat and short are all people with backgrounds.

Wang Wengui took a sip of tea, and said coldly: "Lord Lu, it has been two years since you came to Xinyang to take office, and I have never looked for you. This time, I came to Xinyang City to meet you in person, and you are so disrespectful." ?”

"My lord, it's not that I don't want to lose face. I respect my lord very much, but the imperial court has its own laws and regulations. As the magistrate of a county, I am deeply favored by the emperor. How could I do something to deceive the imperial court?" Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said: "Lord Wang, please don't worry, Xinyang will never hold back Lord Wang, Lord Wang is here only to inspect the embankment of the river, I will never say more nonsense, and I will let the people below say a word Not much to say."

"Hehe." Wang Wengui sneered: "Lu Yuan, I will save face for you and tell you that if you don't know how to praise, even the Lu family behind you can't keep you."

"My lord, be careful!" Lu Yuan picked up the cup, as if serving tea to the guests.

Wang Wengui pretended not to see Lu Yuan's actions, but stared at Lu Yuan coldly, and said, "Lu Yuan, I will give you another chance. Are you going to do it or not?"

Lu Yuan ignored Wang Wengui, but shouted: "Lu An, see off the guests!"

"I just came here, what kind of guest are you sending me?"

It was not Lu An who answered Lu Yuan, but Lu Yao. As soon as Lu Yao walked to the door, he heard the word "seeing off the guests", and then called out: "Brother, you see off the guests as soon as the younger brother comes. This is not the hospitality of our Pingyao Lu family." The way, brother, you have violated the ancestral precepts."

Lu Yuan looked at Lu Yao who was stepping into the room with a strange expression, and frowned, "Lu Yao, who let you in, didn't you see that I have guests here? You go out first, I will find you later."

"Why do you go out? You can tell people what you have said. Big brother, if you have anything to say to me, you're not an outsider anyway." Lu Yao found a seat and sat down as if there was no one else around.

Naturally, Wang Mang didn't pay attention to the people in the living room, raised his eyebrows, and also found a chair to sit down. Anyway, he was hanging out with Lu Yao now, and Lu Yao was taking care of things.

"Get out!"

Lu Yuan didn't say anything over there, but Wang Wengui was angry here. Lu Yuan didn't take himself seriously, and the two young people who came here also regarded him as nothing. Let me put it in my eyes, if this is the case, then he, Wang Wengui, is still a member of the fourth rank of the imperial court.

"Who are you?" Lu Yao squinted at Wang Wengui, and sneered, "A petty official of the fourth rank, didn't you see that I was talking to my elder brother? Do you have a share in talking?"

"You..." Wang Wengui slammed the table and shouted, "Come on, give me a slap!"

As soon as Wang Wengui finished speaking, two yamen servants came in from outside, one of them stretched out his hand and slapped Lu Yao, and the other stretched out his hand and slapped Wang Mang.

From the point of view of the two yamen servants, the adults didn't say who they were going to hit, and the two sitting here were sure to hit them.

Wang Mang's face turned cold, and he stretched out his hand, and put it on the servant's wrist, with a click, the servant's wrist broke, and the servant fell to the ground in cold sweat, howled in pain, and waved his hand at the servant Lu Yao, It was Lu Yuan who had a cold face and kicked him flying.

Wang Wengui stared coldly at Lu Yuan and said, "Lu Yuan, do you know that you have committed a felony and beat up an official at will? You will go to jail. You are dead!"

"This is my domain, when is it your turn to give orders here!" Lu Yuan sneered and said, "Wang Wengui, don't use your tricks on me, you're driving me into a hurry, don't blame the officials for not giving you face! "

"You dare to threaten me?" Wang Wengui stared fixedly at Lu Yuan.

"It's just threatening you, so what?" Lu Yuan snorted, not to mention Pingyao Lu's family, even he, Lu Yuan, had never been afraid of people, when would a small river be worthy of Lu Yuan's face.

Wang Wengui pointed at Lu Yuan, stunned for a while, and did not say a word. It was indeed as Lu Yuan said, even if Lu Yuan did not give him Wang Wengui face, even if he threatened him, Wang Wengui would not be able to do anything to Lu Yuan for a while.

In terms of official position, he, Wang Wengui, is He Dao envoy, while Lu Yuan is Xinyang Ling. The two do not belong to each other. He is considered to be a fourth-rank official, one rank higher than Lu Yuan, but he can’t control Lu Yuan. In terms of family background, although he, Wang Wengui, was born in the Wang family of Qinghe , is the most noble family in the world, but he, Wang Wengui, is only a descendant of a branch line, and Lu Yuan is the serious son of the Pingyao Lu family,

Staring at Lu Yuan bitterly, Wang Wengui said harshly: "Lu Yuan, you should think carefully about my proposal, and don't make yourself uncomfortable. This is not what I mean, but what the higher-ups mean!"

After speaking, Wang Wengui waved his hands and was about to leave.

But Wang Mang, who originally planned to stay out of the matter, suddenly lit up his eyes, stretched out his hand and said, "Wait a minute!"
