The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 512 Finalization
Shangzhou.

Things in Shangzhou went surprisingly smoothly, the food was in Liu Wei's hands, and those people had to work hard for Liu Wei if they wanted to have enough to eat. After the disaster in the state is resolved, he will distribute enough food to each family for the winter.

Liu Wei's promise made the enthusiasm of these people even higher.

Originally, dredging the river was beneficial to them, but now that Liu Wei is going to distribute food to them again, can they not be excited?

The news spread so widely that the refugees who originally wanted to leave also stayed or rushed back one after another. Therefore, when Lu Duoxun was ordered to come to Shangzhou, most of the water situation in Shangzhou had been dealt with. Shangzhou City ran out of water, and many shops began to open slowly, and the dead Shangzhou City gradually improved.

Liu Wei already knew that the secret recipe of explosives was sent to Zhao Guangyi, and Liu Wei also knew that Eunuch Yuan was missing. Of course, Liu Wei knew even more when Lu Duoxun was ordered to investigate Pan Weiji's death.

He regretted his lack of consideration, so that Eunuch Yuan was killed. If Eunuch Yuan was still alive, it would undoubtedly be a good witness for him. However, Liu Wei was not yet afraid of Lu Duoxun. Even Lu Duosun is afraid, so what can Liu Wei do in this Song Dynasty?
It was dusk in midsummer when Lu Duoxun came, and the dusk in Shangzhou City was very beautiful. The sun was shining at night, the breeze was blowing, and as far as the eye could see, a few white birds occasionally flew by in the sky.

No one greeted Lu Duoxun, because Liu Wei was very busy, and his status was higher than that of Lu Duoxun, so it was a bit inappropriate to greet him.

Wang Ning, the magistrate of Shangzhou, was planning to go, but was caught by Liu Wei's order, and finally failed to go. When Lu Duoxun came to Shangzhou City and saw no one to welcome him, he immediately held back Furious, he ordered: "Go to the government office."

Lu Duoxun entered the government office with a guard of honor, but he didn't see Wang Ning, which made Lu Duoxun even more angry, and said: "The magistrate is not staying in the government office, but he is running around, what's the matter?"

A yamen servant hurriedly came to report, saying: "Returning to my lord, the disaster in Shangzhou City is serious. Mr. Wang was ordered by Mr. Liu to go, so the number of people and the situation of the disaster have been reported. I think I will come back soon."

It was getting late, and Wang Ning was indeed coming back soon.

Lu Duoxun was very angry, but it was not easy to explode. After all, there was nothing wrong with Wang Ning putting the disaster first. There is an unwritten rule in the officialdom, that is, when the upper official comes to the place where the lower official comes, the lower official will greet him. But this rule does not clearly stipulate that the situation where the subordinate officials go to greet them is only for the sake of flattery, or because they are afraid of offending the superior officials and being put on small shoes, but it is okay not to go.

Lu Duosun snorted coldly, and then said: "I'm going to go to the prison to make an inspection, and lead the way."

But the servants of the government office did not move.

Lu Duosun frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

The yamen servant said: "No one is allowed to enter the government prison without the order of the prefect. Lord Lu is here to investigate the death of Pan Weiji, but it has nothing to do with anyone in the government prison. So please, Master Lu, don't embarrass the little one."

"You...you are so brave." Lu Duoxun was really pissed off this time, he pointed at the yamen servant, and ordered the guards behind him: "Hit, pull this kid down for me to beat. "

Those guards were about to make a move, when a voice suddenly came from behind: "Master Lu just came to Shangzhou to teach the servants here, he really has a hot temper."

Lu Duoxun turned his head and saw that it was Liu Wei and Wang Ning, and it was Liu Wei who spoke.

Lu Duoxun frowned slightly, and said: "Lord Liu, Lord Wang, I was ordered to come to Shangzhou to handle the case, so why can't I enter this small Shangzhou government prison?"

Wang Ning looked in a dilemma. He didn't dare to offend the two of them, so it was wrong to speak up, and it was wrong not to speak up.

Liu Wei, on the other hand, looked calm and said: "Master Lu can be regarded as an imperial envoy appointed by the Holy Majesty, of course it is okay to go to the prison to have a look, please."

Lu Duoxun frowned slightly, looked at Liu Wei and snorted coldly, then turned around and was about to walk towards the prison, but at this moment, Liu Wei also followed up suddenly, Lu Duoxun turned his head and looked at Liu Wei with annoyed expression. Wei: "What does Master Liu mean?"

"It's not interesting. The food and grass were robbed before. I was too busy clearing the road to interrogate the people involved. I finally had some free time today, so I went in to have a look. It shouldn't affect Mr. Lu, right? "

Everyone present knew that the person Liu Wei was referring to was Lu Dinggong, Lu Duosun's younger brother.

Lu Duoxun's heart sank slightly, and then he smiled coldly: "Okay, I am going to see that person, let's go together."

The two entered the prison and went directly to the cell where Duke Lu Ding was detained. After Lu Dinggong was detained, the news was very closed, and now he suddenly saw his brother coming, he was overjoyed, and quickly knelt down and shouted: "Brother, help me, help me……"

In front of Liu Wei, Lu Duoxun didn't dare to show too much kindness, he just glared at his younger brother angrily, and asked, "What's going on, have you been wronged?"

"Yeah, I was wronged, I was wronged..." Lu Dinggong is still a relatively smart person, after hearing what his elder brother said, he immediately understood what was going on.

But when Lu Dinggong said this, Liu Wei suddenly said coldly: "Lu Dinggong, I never thought that you would dare to rob the court of food, but you still want to kill me. stay with you so long?"

Hearing this, not only Lu Dinggong, but also Lu Duoxun couldn't help being surprised. It stands to reason that Liu Wei is an imperial envoy for such a serious crime as robbing disaster relief food. How long, shouldn't it be waiting for me to come?

Thinking of this, Lu Duoxun felt something was wrong.

But at this time, Liu Wei smiled coldly: "Come here, take Lu Dinggong to behead, and confiscate all the property of the Lu family."

Liu Wei suddenly said such a sentence, and Lu Duoxun immediately became anxious. He looked at Liu Wei and said angrily: "Master Liu, what do you mean? Is there anyone like you who caress about human life?"

Liu Wei looked at Lu Duoxun, and said coldly: "Master Lu, I have given you a lot of face by asking you to meet your brother, otherwise you think he can live to this day? I have to investigate and find out who gave Lu Dinggong the courage to rob the court of disaster relief food, I think he would not have the courage if he had no support from the court, would he?"

"You...you spouted blood." Lu Duoxun was furious at this time, but he was also extremely nervous. If Liu Wei wanted to investigate the conspiracy between him and King Wei in Shangzhou, it shouldn't be difficult to find out, right?
Why is my younger brother so careless, he dares to do this even though he knows that Liu Wei is not easy to deal with.
