Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 30 Jing Ke Arrives in Xianyang
"revenge?"

"How to take revenge?"

"Let Jingwei find a chance to kill me?"

Xu Lin smiled calmly and asked back.

Jingwei’s cultivation level is high, but compared to him, he is still far inferior.

Moreover, Ying Zheng is behind him. Now that Huayang Palace has sided with Ying Zheng, does Lu Buwei still dare to break up with Ying Zheng because of this?

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Li Wu nodded.

"Do you think Jingwei can be my opponent?"

Xu Lin raised his eyebrows slightly.

Then he looked towards the southeast following the sound.

A shabby carriage was coming towards them, and the driver had white hair and beard.

"Of course not."

Li Wu complimented.

Then he put his hand on the jade flute at his waist, took a few steps forward and stopped the carriage.

"Who is coming?"

Li Wu asked in a cold voice.

She is now completely different from the person she was just now!
She only shows her feminine side in front of Xu Lin.

"Chen Yu, the governor of Beidi County, greets the captain."

"I'm here to plead guilty."

Chen Yu lifted the curtain of the carriage and said respectfully.

After saying that, he got out of the car and walked slowly towards Xu Lin.

He is over fifty years old, and more than half of his hair, eyebrows and beard are white.

"It turned out to be Governor Chen. I was wondering who it was."

"I wonder what Governor Chen has been busy with lately?"

"Have you heard about Lu Liang bullying the common people?"

Xu Lin stood with his hands behind his back and asked loudly.

"I've heard about it."

"but……"

"There are so many people here, could you please lend me a hand to talk?"

Chen Yu looked ashamed and discussed with Xu Lin.

He and Lu Liang are not birds of a feather, but he was afraid that his family would be implicated, so he turned a blind eye to what Lu Liang and Lu Ming had done in recent years.

"can."

Xu Lin readily agreed.

Then he gave the task of cleaning up the mess in the County Magistrate's Mansion to Li Wu.

"grown ups."

"Beidi County has become what it is now, and I am guilty of it."

"But I hope you can show mercy and spare my family."

Chen Yu took a deep breath and pretended to choke.

He has excellent acting skills and can make people cry at any time.

The fact that he was recommended to be the County Magistrate of Beidi County had a lot to do with his explosive acting skills!
"It's been several days since Lu Ming was killed. Why did you come today?"

"If Lu Liang hadn't died, would you have continued to feign illness and not come out?"

Xu Lin scolded coldly.

He can tell at a glance whether someone is lying!

"I...I really caught a cold a few days ago."

"If you don't believe me, you can go ask a doctor..."

Chen Yu defended himself.

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xu Lin.

"At this point, you still want to pass on the blame?"

"You're the county governor, the top leader of Beidi County. You're not responsible for Beidi County being in this state right?"

Xu Lin frowned.

After hearing this, Chen Yu opened his mouth for a long time but couldn't utter a word.

He is indeed responsible for the current state of Beidi County, but it cannot be entirely blamed on him!

Behind Lu Liang is Lu Buwei, who has great power in the court. Does he dare to offend him?
"grown ups."

"I knew about the incident involving Lü Liang and Lü Ming but didn't report it. I am indeed guilty."

"But they have Prime Minister Lu behind them, and I really don't dare to offend him. I hope you can speak a few good words for me in front of the king and spare my family. If you can let me retire and return home, then..."

After more than ten breaths, Chen Yu pretended to be respectful.

He was interrupted again by Xu Lin before he could finish his words.

"Want to retire and return home?"

"Even if the king agrees, the people of Beidi County will not agree!"

Xu Lin said unhappily.

Then he asked Chen Yu to take him to the Chen Mansion.

Soon, Xu Lin arrived at Chen Yu's residence as he wished.

The location of Chen Mansion is not good, the area is not too large, and there is only one guard at the door, which makes Xu Lin feel that Chen Yu is not useless.

"How many concubines do you have?"

After entering the mansion, Xu Lin asked while strolling around the house. "Two, but both died several years ago."

Chen Yu told the truth.

Xu Lin saw through everything, and he didn't dare to lie to Xu Lin again.

"What is your reputation among the people?"

Xu Lin asked.

"It's... it's OK."

Chen Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and answered respectfully.

Before Lu Liang was appointed as the county magistrate, he did have a good reputation in Beidi County and did some practical things for the people of Beidi County.

After Lu Liang was appointed as the county magistrate, he was afraid of Lu Liang like a tiger, as if Lu Liang was the county magistrate of Beidi County and he was just a petty clerk in Beidi County!
"You guessed I would come, so you deliberately hid all the priceless things, didn't you?"

Xu Lin saw that there were no valuables in Chen Yu's house and there were very few maids, so he asked with a smile.

Chen Yu shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he didn't dare.

"That's good."

"Not only are you guilty of Lu Liang's crime, but your crime is serious."

"It's not up to me to decide how to deal with it."

"Now that Lü Liang is dead, Beidi County is in ruins. If any trouble breaks out, the king will hold you accountable."

"If you behave well recently, you may be able to atone for your sins."

Seeing that Chen Yu didn't seem to be lying, Xu Lin said seriously.

"promise!"

Chen Yu immediately accepted the order.

Then he patted his chest and promised that he would not let the king down!
After seeing this scene, Xu Lin hesitated to speak, then turned and left Chen's house.

He had asked the people about Chen Yu before. The people said that Chen Yu was not a corrupt official, but he was too cowardly and did his job. Chen Yu was the prefect, but not only did he allow the county magistrate Lu Liang to bully the people, he also knew about it but did not report it. This is a crime!

Xu Lin agreed with this.

……

The next day.

Three poles in the sun.

After Xu Lin had a full meal, he was about to return to Xianyang when he was suddenly stopped by thousands of people.

There were many familiar faces among the people blocking the road, such as Xiaomei and her daughter, and the girl Li Wu rescued from the cellar.

"Master Xu!"

"Now that those two beasts, Lü Ming and Lü Liang, are dead, you can stay!"

"Beidi County cannot do without you!"

Xiaomei said with red eyes.

"Yes, Master Xu!"

"If Beidi County didn't have you, I'm afraid it wouldn't be long before a second Lu Liang and a third Lu Liang would appear!"

Yiqu County Common People Road.

"Brother Xu, please stay."

Xiaomei's daughter blinked her big dark eyes and pleaded.

Voices calling for Xu Lin to stay rose one after another, and many common people even knelt down directly.

After seeing this scene, Xu Lin raised his hand to signal everyone to get up quickly, and then asked Xiaomei and others to help the common people who were kneeling on the ground.

"Everyone."

"It's not that I don't want to stay, but I still have a mission."

"Now that Lü Ming and Lü Liang are both dead, if anyone dares to bully you again, you can report them to the authorities."

"If the local officials won't solve your problem, you can go to Xianyang and find General Zhang Han of the Shadow Secret Guard!"

Xu Lin said as he thought.

It wasn't that he was trying to trick Zhang Han, but Zhang Han, as the leader of the Shadow Guard and Ying Zheng's confidant, should have helped the people solve their problems.

If Zhang Han is not pulled out, it will be difficult for him to leave today!

……

the other side.

Xu Mansion, on the outskirts of Xianyang City.

The wind was howling and the snow was falling heavily.

Li Ji, who was sitting in the study reading a book, felt the cold, stood up suddenly, tightened her clothes, and lit the stove.

"I wonder how things are going over there, sir?"

Li Ji walked slowly to the bamboo window, looked towards Beidi County, and murmured.

She didn't tie her hair up, but chose to let it fall naturally to her waist.

At this moment, Li Ji looked less heroic and more feminine than when Xu Lin was there.

Just when Li Ji was thinking about whether to ask the Shadow Secret Guard about Xu Lin's situation, there was suddenly a hurried knock on the door.

Li Ji frowned slightly when she heard the voice, then she tied her hair into a high ponytail, picked up her sword, put on her coat, and walked straight to the door.

Crunch!

Lizzie opened the door.

"I wonder if you're looking for... Senior Brother?"

"How did you come?"

"Didn't I tell you not to come in my letter?"

Li Ji looked carefully and saw that the person coming was Jing Ke, and she could not hide her surprise.

She just thought that someone had taken a fancy to her and wanted to attack her while Xu Lin was away!
