Chapter 51 Waiting

The barbarian said oh.
Then he pointed to the casual officials in front of him and said, "The casual officials who assassinated the county captain should be punished."
"Not to mention whether the casual officials were actually involved in this matter, even if they did it, what qualifications do you have to kill county officials?"
"Is this how Gao County Fair Day teaches you how to do things?"
The Hu man looked unconcerned, "I was just ordered to protect the county magistrate. There are thieves in the county government, which may be detrimental to the county magistrate. I have to eliminate them."
Lu Qubing once again raised the book of canonization in his hand, "I will be responsible for all matters within the county government. I have temporarily mobilized county soldiers, and you do not need to interfere in county affairs!"
The barbarian guard sneered. He was about to say something when the soldier on the side suddenly stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear.
Hu Ren was stunned and looked at Lu Qubing again, the disdain on his face immediately disappeared.
"Okay, since Mr. Lu gave the order, I dare not disobey it. Let's go."
He gave the order, and the soldiers followed him one after another and quickly left the south courtyard.
Walking on the road, the Hu man turned his head to look at the soldier and asked, "Are you sure it's him?"
"It's him, it's absolutely true. When the county prince promoted him, I was with the county prince. When he came back, the county prince praised this person to the other princes. He said that he can be reused in the future."
The barbarian guard touched his head and said, "It's broken. I hope this guy won't file a complaint with the county."
"You should send people to strengthen the security along the road now. The county magistrate is coming back."
After many soldiers left, the civilian officials breathed a sigh of relief. They collapsed on the ground. An unpleasant smell came from the crowd, and they didn't know who peed their pants.
Lu Qubing's face was very solemn, and he looked at the people in front of him.
"Everyone, get up."
Everyone got up in a hurry, and some fell down in panic.
Everyone looked at Qu Bing in front of them, but their eyes were full of fear.
County magistrate.
The magnates in the county, who are equal to the county captains, have official ranks.
Although he and the county magistrate are both ninth-rank officials, the lowest officials, he is an official officially conferred by the temple. When there is no county magistrate, he is the master here.
Facing a person who can decide his life or death at will, no one will not be afraid.
Even high-ranking officials are just like dogs in front of him. They can be removed and arranged at will by him. What's more, the gap between them and casual officials is not as big as usual.
"Brother Taozi, come with me."
The new county magistrate spoke, and everyone's eyes widened. Only the people in the law school room were particularly excited at this moment.
People like Tian Zili and Yao Xiong were so excited that they could hardly speak.
The new county magistrate!!
We are going to be developed!
Liu Taozi was still very calm. He stood up and walked to Lu Qubing's side. Lu Qubing then looked at everyone.
"Don't be afraid, everyone, and rest in your house and don't go out."
He gave some words of comfort.
"only!!"
Everyone bowed and listened to the order.
Lu Qubing took Tao Zi and left here.
While walking on the road, Lu Qubing said, "I came here yesterday just to tell you about this matter."
"The canonization order from the temple was sent, and I was asked to report to the county official for appointment. There was still a lot of unfinished work in the county school, so I was in no hurry to take office."
"I didn't expect that such a big thing would happen."
"I should have taken office earlier!!"
Lu Qubing looked quite guilty.
The two of them walked all the way to the backyard. The soldiers seemed to have received some order, but they didn't even check and just let them go.
When I came to the backyard, I saw a pile of minced meat. Several slaves were kneeling in front of the minced meat. When they saw someone coming, they wailed hurriedly.
Lu Qubing's face turned pale and he suppressed vomiting.
"The county captain was killed. I heard it was a casual official who did it."
"You can't get anything out of asking these people. You should know why?"
Taozi's brows slowly wrinkled.
"In the past two days, Cao asked his officials to send people to travel places, and all the people who went there died."
Lu Qubing was stunned for a moment, seemed to have thought of something, and said to the soldiers beside him: "Go and bring Cao Shi and He Youyou over."
These are all county soldiers.
Normally, it is under the control of the county captain, but now that the county captain is not in good health and there is no county magistrate, the county magistrate can become their temporary commander-in-chief.
The two waited for a while, and then the soldier captured the man.
When they saw Lu Qubing standing in front of them, looking a little confused, the soldiers shouted loudly: "Since you have met the Prime Minister, why don't you salute?!"
A county is like a country. The county magistrate is the king. The king is surrounded by military officers and prime ministers who are responsible for civil affairs.
Upon hearing this, Cao Boju and He Anan's eyes were filled with disbelief.
Cao Boju knelt on the ground on the spot, "My subordinates pay homage to Mr. Lu!!"
He Ananda followed closely behind.
Cao Boju burst into tears immediately, "Mr. Lu, please spare my life. It was my improper management that caused such a thing to happen to my subordinates!"
"I am not an accomplice of the thief!"
Lu Qubing asked sternly: "What did you do when you sent officials to the tour place earlier? Why did they disappear?!"
Cao Boju was stunned, stopped crying, and looked at He Ananda beside him.
"Gong Lu, you are a humble man. You just followed He Gong's orders and you really don't know anything about it."
Lu Qubing slowly looked at He Ananda.
There was almost no fear on He Ananda's face, and he even looked a little relaxed.
"The county lieutenant wanted to find someone to compete with, so he asked me to send people there. The first few people were all killed by him."
"This time, he should have been killed."
"Competition???"
Lu Qubing's eyes widened. He thought about many possibilities, but he never thought about this. His lips trembled. He really wanted to say something loudly at this moment.
But in the face of such absurd, ridiculous, and despicable things, he found that he was powerless to say anything.
Lu Qubing's expression kept changing, ranging from anger, pity, and sadness.
Finally, his face darkened.
"Then he died well and deserved to die."
Everyone lowered their heads, no one dared to answer his words.
But Liu Taozi said, "Where is Zhang Lishou?"
Lu Qubing reacted and quickly looked at the soldier, "Where is the assassin?"
"He was locked in a back room with soldiers watching him."
"Take me there!"
Lu Qubing and Liu Taozi hurriedly walked to the back room. Several guards were guarding here. When they saw Lu Qubing, they let him go happily.
This attitude is even friendlier than that towards Gao Xun, the county captain.
In the past, Gao Xun tried to get closer to these close associates of Gao Su, but was ignored.
When the two entered the back room, Zhang Li was lying on the ground, tied up, and breathing weakly.
Taozi walked to Li Zhang's side, knelt down on one knee, and felt his pulse.
At this moment, Zhang Li opened his eyes with difficulty.
He saw Liu Taozi beside him.
"I told you to let me go, why did you go by yourself?"
"I have never harmed anyone"
"He wants to kill me."
"I understand. You are a good man and you have never harmed anyone. You are also a brave man who eliminates harm for the county government."
"My lord, please be patient for a moment longer and don't close your eyes. The magistrate has already forgiven your sins."
Liu Taozi said and looked at Lu Qubing again.
"Does the county government have a doctor?"
Only then did Lu Qubing realize, "Go and call the county doctor quickly! Untie him!"
Almost no one dared to question Lu Qubing, no matter what orders he gave.
Everyone was busy, Taozi was whispering something to Li Zhang.
Lu Qubing looked at Taozi blankly. He had never seen Taozi like this before. Ever since he met Taozi, Taozi had always been cold and cold, treating everyone coldly.
But at this moment, he saw a Taozi who was not quite a peach. He saw that Taozi's face was slightly gentle and her eyes were no longer so sharp.
The doctor rushed over in a hurry, not daring to ask any more questions, and began to treat Zhang Li who was lying on the ground.
Treat his wounds, stop bleeding, and give him medicine.
His movements were very rough, as if he were following a military doctor.
"Taozi, please follow me to see Mr. Gao. If such a big thing happens in the county, he will definitely come in person."
Lu Qubing pursed his lips, "I will ask him to forgive this person."
"He just retaliated passively, and cannot be judged by not pardoning the crime."
Taozi also opened her mouth.
"He is not guilty."
Lu Qubing called him, and asked the doctor to find a way to save Zhang Li's life, and then hurried to the outside of the county government office.
After walking out of the county government gate, the road in the distance was already under martial law.
Every alleyway was guarded by soldiers, and as it extended all the way to the city gate, the road became even more empty, and there could not be any pedestrians.
Lu Qubing looked into the distance, thinking about how to plead for Zhang Li.
Taozi stood behind him with a deep gaze.
The barbarian guard was standing in front of the door, talking to several soldiers.
On the rooftop opposite, Wang Fu was lying flat on his back, holding a crossbow in his hand, motionless.
Everyone is waiting.
Chapter completed!
