Grassroots Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 380 The Return of the King

The hotel owner is Lu Jing's brother, his childhood friend, and his dead-in-law. Before Lu Jing asked a question, the hotel owner said respectfully to Lu Jing sitting in the sedan chair, "Master, the villain got up in the morning today..."

"Don't talk nonsense, pick up the key points..." Lu Jing said impatiently.

The hotel owner was well aware of Lu Jing's temperament. When he heard Lu Jing's scolding, his face suddenly tightened and said in a short sentence: "Master, just now, Sun Jianjun led a bodyguard to patrol the street. He took a fancy to a young woman and would salute Zhou Gong on the street... Who knows, the sick man also appeared in this street... Sick Without asking thirty-seven or twenty-one, he ordered his subordinates to kill Sun Jianjun's extremely subordinates..."

Lu Jing knows who the "sick man" refers to in the words of the hotel owner. In the past, he also advised Sun Jianjun not to be too sharp and learn to restrain himself. Who knows that Sun Jianjun likes to rape beautiful women in public... Today, Sun Jianjun was caught by his sick son Taishi Ci... Lu Jing thought with his knee: How did Sun Jianjun abuse Tai Shici at that time? When Tai Shici was angry, he commanded the wolf-like bodyguard under his command to kill Sun Jianjun and his party.

As soon as Tai Shici appeared, it was so violent and bloody. Lu Jing retreated in his heart: Did he go to see Tai Shici? If he breaks up with Taishici, he will be rude to himself. Can he escape Taishici's butcher knife? ...Tai Shici dares to kill the prison army, so he dares to kill him.

But he thought to: Sun Jianjun, who was killed by Taishi Ci, is Sun Hao's own nephew and Sun Quan's cousin. Since then, can Tai Shici escape Sun Hao's accountability? ...If Tai Shici dares to hurt himself, can the Lu family of his origin not take revenge on Tai Shici?

Although his strength is far worse than that of Tai Shici, who can use hidden weapons, there are more than 10,000 clan children standing behind him... Lu Jing thought of this and made up his mind to go to the county to visit Tai Shici.

Lu Jingzhi felt that since the disappearance of the geisha Sachiko, his bad luck has begun. As for how moldy it can be, he does not know.

Lu Jing, who was uneasy all the way, was warmly entertained by Tai Shici after coming to the county house. In the face of Taishici's enthusiasm, Lu Jing couldn't adapt for a while. He didn't know what medicine was sold in Taishici's gourd.

Tai Shici looked at Lu Jing, who pretended to be calm, and smiled and said, "Lord Lu, in the days when I was to be closed, it bothered you and made you work hard..."

When Lu Jing heard the words, he quickly bowed his hand and said, "Tai Shi Dudu, this is all my subordinates!" Working with Tai Shici for a long time, Lu Jing knew that Tai Shici rarely praised others face to face. Lu Jing's expression seemed to be flattered. Even if he wants Tai Shici to die in his heart.

Tai Shici was very satisfied with Lu Jing's reaction, which at least showed that Lu Jing still treated himself as a boss.

"Lord Lu, how about the murder case of the assassination of Lu Su now? What's the point? Has it made any progress? Tai Shici asked casually.

When Lu Jing heard Tai Shici talking about this topic, he suddenly shivered in his heart. His face was sad and he said in a low voice, "Oh, I have been investigating this case, but there has been no progress so far..."

Tai Shici saw Lu Jing's expression and thought to himself: You are the fucking mastermind. Can you check yourself?

"Well, I hope to find out who is the mastermind of the murderer of Lu Su as soon as possible, and bring it to justice as soon as possible, so that Lu Su can rest his eyes under the nine springs!" Tai Shici said in a heavier tone, and then he took out a piece of silk paper. He asked the bodyguard to hand the silk paper to Lu Jing. When Lu Jing read the words on the silk paper, Tai Shici said to him, "Lord Lu, this is the document report that I will kill Sun Jianjun in public. If you think the situation is true, please ask Lord Lu to stamp the seal of the owner of the city at the signature..."

Lu Jing nodded silently while reading the documents. A document makes his heart magnificent: the document accurately records the time and place of Sun Jianjun's violent women in public, as well as the fact that Sun Jianjun's corruption and the deduction of military's military's men's...

These cold figures show that even if Tai Shici is closed to recover from his wounds, he still knows the county well. Seeing these cold numbers and words, Lu Jing was sweating coldly.

Tai Shici saw the bean-sized sweat on Lu Jing's forehead and asked with concern, "Lord Lu, what's wrong with you? Is it that the general's mansion is too hot..."

It's already the early winter season. How can it be hot? Lu Jing raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead and said to Taishi Ci in a weak voice, "Tai Shidu, I would have avoided feeling cold, and my body was a little dry and hot... I returned to Taishi Du, the document recorded Sun Jianjun's crimes, and his subordinates also knew something about it. In the past, his subordinates also accused Sun Jianjun in person, but Sun Jianjun was against his subordinates. Ask, turn a deaf ear..."

"Oh, if it's true, please ask Lord Lu to stamp it at the signature of the document!" Tai Shici said indifferently.

Lu Jing couldn't refuse, so he had to take out the seal from his arms and stamp it on the signature of the document. After the bodyguard put away the documents, Tai Shici asked Lu Jing again, "Master Lu, how is the income and expenditure of the county government recently..."

At this time, the important position of the bureaucracy of the county is Lu Jing'an's confidants. They set up their name and squandered the wealth accumulated before the county in less than half a year.

Therefore, when Lu Jing heard Tai Shici mention this problem, his heart suddenly raised his throat. He looked at Taishici with empty eyes and replied in an illusory voice, "I want to reply to the governor of Taishi. At this time, the income and expenditure of the county is out of balance, and I can't make ends meet..."

"How to deal with it? Lord Lu!" Tai Shici narrowed his eyes and asked in a cold voice.

"This...this..." Lu Jing muttered and stammed, "Tai Shidu, according to my subordinates... I can only increase taxes..." At this time, more than half of the industry in the county is under the control of the Lu family. Increasing taxes is to cut meat from the Lu family. However, in the face of Tai Shici, Lu Jing could only deal with it in this way.

"Well, this is a good way!" Taishi Ci calmed down a little and said softly, "Lord Lu, there is another thing that I would have kindly reminded you that as for the matter of the temple in the county, we can't just look at the faces above, regardless of the feelings of the people... Before the demolition of the temple, how lively and prosperous the county city is. Now the government To demolish the temple, you have to experience the fierce confrontation and conflict between officials and people! Lord Lu, we should look a little further..."

"I understand! I understand!" Lu Jing nodded straight to Taishi Ci, just like a chicken pecking.

In a muddle-headedness, Lu Jing's instructions to Tai Shici were obedient, and there was no sense of resistance at all. Finally, Tai Shici said that he was a little tired, so Lu Jing hurriedly left Tai Shici's official residence. The moment he walked out of Tai Shici's official residence, Lu Jing's body and mind suddenly relaxed, and the previous mountain-like depression was swept away.

All the feelings of Lu Jing can be felt by Tai Shici. Tai Shici knows all the affairs of the county as well as the palm of his hand. Now, he has appeared again, and the operation of the county has been rejuvenated. It has developed in the direction expected by Tai Shici.

The reason why Tai Shici treats Lu Jing with courtesy is that he wants to use Lu Jing to deal with the upcoming difficulties in the future. Since the emperor of Japan promised that the Japanese country would no longer set foot in the Celestial Empire, and the Japanese country's detailed work in the Celestial Dynasty has all returned to the Japanese Kingdom... Therefore, Tai Shici himself has not rushed back to the county of Huiji, and the detailed work of the Japanese country like Sachiko has evaporated from the world.

In the afternoon of the same day, Mr. Jin (Guo Jia) also returned to the county. As soon as Tai Shici and Guo Jia met, they were as bear hugs as ever. The two looked at each other and reached out to pat each other's bodies.

Tai Shici looked at Guo Jia with wet eyes and said emotionally, "Brother Feng Xiao, you have been wronged during this period..." Of course, Guo Jia knows the implication of Tai Shici: Since Sun Jianjun came to the county, whether in officialdom or entertainment, Guo Jia has been suffoshed everywhere, being grinded and squeezed by Sun Jianjun and Lu Jing anytime and anywhere. Finally, he had to leave the county.

"Ha ha, what is this grievance... The general trend is that I have to bow my head for my brother!" Guo Jia said with a cheerful smile, "However, on that occasion of wind and moon, if it hadn't been for the quick-sighted eyes of Yan Yun's bodyguard, I would have been almost been disabled by Sun Jianjun..."

Tai Shici also understood what Guo Jia said: once, in the brothel, Guo Jia was pulling a geisha into the room. Unfortunately, Sun Jianjun also took a fancy to the geisha, so Sun Jianjun was domineering and arrogantly, and Guo Jianing did not obey. As a result, the two clashed in public...

"Ha ha, hasn't Sun Jianjun been punished now? And for my brother, he still eats, drinks and plays!" Guo Jia said narcissistically.

Then, after the two sat down, Guo Jia explained to Tai Shici what he had done recently: in order to avoid the persecution of Sun Jianjun and Lu Jing, Guo Jia led Nashan Nashui to Ryukyu Island. On Ryukyu Island, Guo Jia got a lot of anecdotes about the ocean from the tribal leader... After returning to the county, Guo Jia couldn't resist his curiosity, so he organized a fleet to the South China Sea. His trip to the South China Sea made him gain a lot - he discovered an island rich in gold and silver mines.

"Tai Shi, you don't know that the living habits of the residents of that island are very different from ours..." Speaking of the rich island, Guo Jia's eyes lit up, as if he suddenly saw a peerless beauty. "Tai Shi, you know that we use gold here depends on color and weight. And the island also uses gold to buy and sell things, but they do not determine the price by the weight and color of gold. They determine the value by the shape of gold... At that time, I ordered the accompanying craftsmen to use gold to create all kinds of beautiful shapes. As a result, one or two exquisite gold can be obtained from the hands of the locals. In exchange for ten catties of gold ingots..."

"Oh, there are such strange places in the world..." When Tai Shici heard the words, he was immediately stunned on the spot.

"As the saying goes, it's thousands of miles away across the river... We are across the sea from them, and our customs and habits are naturally even more different!" Guo Jia said leisurely, "Ha ha, this time I will bring back tens of thousands of catties of gold and hundreds of thousands of pounds of silver..."
