Datang: Empress mother-in-law sent Li Er to test me

"Seeing you, this old man thought he would be able to escape, but in the end you fell into a tiger's mouth!"

Ma Yuangui and Lu Zizang smiled wryly.

"I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I can't figure it out!"

After sitting down, Changsun Wuji frowned, stared at Ma Yuangui and Lu Zizang, and said, "One of you is the governor of Bingzhou, and the other is the long history of the governor's mansion."

"Hedong Road, you are the biggest officials, and you hold military power, how can you be imprisoned in the general manager's mansion and cannot get out?"

Du Yan said in a deep voice: "Yes, on the way here, the old man is also ready to fight with you, Ma Yuangui and Lu Zizang, to see how we can send your car to the capital."

"In the end, you are also prisoners?"

"What are you doing in Hedong Road?"

At the end, Du Yannian held back his anger, slapped the table and yelled furiously.

Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of Ma Yuangui and Lu Zizang became even more sad.

Zhang Dun asked softly: "Boss Ma, Lu Changshi, we are all left here now, there is nothing we can't say."

Ma Yuangui said with a bitter face, "Oh, it's all my fault for not employing people well."

Zhang Dun pursed his lips and listened to him.

It took him a long time to fully understand what happened to Hedong Road these days.

Chapter 236 It Shouldn't Be Us Who Are Worrying Now

East Road has indeed been dry for several months.

Ma Yuangui, who is the general manager of Binzhou on Hedong Road, and Lu Zizang, the head of the general manager's office, arranged for their subordinates to resettle the victims as soon as they discovered the problem.

In the beginning, it was really ok.

However, after a long time, the two felt something was wrong.

The number of disaster victims in Hedong Road has not decreased because of this.

Instead, more and more!

Ma Yuangui and Lu Zizang hurriedly sent people to conduct a thorough investigation, and were shocked to find that the victims had not been effectively resettled at all.

The people below are deceiving the upper and lower!

The leader is Sima Lu Zitao, whom Yang Jin called "General Lu".

Lu Zitao did this in order to connive at those prefects in Hedong Road and annex their land.

During a severe drought, nothing grows in the ground.

The government did not provide disaster relief, and the common people had to cut their meat and sell their land for their livelihood.

However, with the soaring prices, the money from selling land by the common people is quickly lost.

The people couldn't eat enough to eat, and the people in Hedong Road were full of grievances, and some even ran into the government.

On the one hand, Lu Zitao defined the people who collided with the government as rioters, and sent government soldiers to arrest them. At the same time, he asked the prefects in various places to treat the victims.

After all, they are the beneficiaries of the land annexation. If there is no effort at this time, Lu Zitao claims that he will not let them go.

It is precisely because of this that the entire Hedong Road has not yet been completely chaotic.

However, those prefects are not fools. There are so many disaster victims in Hedong Road, and if they continue to pay for disaster relief, no amount of money will be enough.

They also slowly let it go.

Therefore, Lu Zitao, who used to live in the chief manager's mansion, has moved out because of this matter.

In the lobby of the government office, there was silence.

Changsun Wuji and Du Yan looked at Ma Yuangui and Lu Zizang in disbelief.

"The old man has a place, and he is a little confused."

Du Yan stared at them and said, "One of you is the governor of Bingzhou, and the other is Chang Shi. Why are you led by the nose by a Sima? Are you still imprisoned here?"

"Where are the guards around you?"

Ma Yuangui sighed, "They were all killed by Lu Zitao's men."

"The order we issued can't get out of the chief executive's mansion at all."

"Furthermore, Lu Zitao has planted a lot of cronies in several guard mansions on Hedong Road these years, and they are monolithically managed by him. Our words are not good."

"..."

The veins on Du Yan's forehead were twitching.

How could these two people be so wasteful?

Is the court blind? !

Let them serve as the chief supervisor and long history of Hedong Road!

One is the chief steward and the other is the long history, and they can't even get out of the chief steward's mansion.

All the government orders are actually controlled by a Sima.

Changsun Wuji suddenly said: "Lu Zitao... this name sounds familiar, what does it have to do with Lu Changshi?"

Lu Zizang smiled wryly and said, "He is my cousin. He has been with me in the early years and has made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty."

Zhang Dun asked curiously, "Why is he fighting against you now?"

Lu Zizang was silent for a few seconds, before he said: "The prefect of Hedong Road has won him over."

Understood, Zhang Dun nodded slightly.

Ma Yuangui and Lu Zizang were determined to do things this time when there was a severe drought in Hedong Road.

However, the local county governor felt that he could take advantage of the severe drought to annex the land, so he recruited Lu Zitao.

Through Lu Zitao, they achieved their goal, but Hedong Road is now a mess.

"Where is Sun Xue, the supervisory censor?"

Du Yan stared at them and said, "Why aren't you locked up with you?"

"He's a bastard!" Lu Zizang became angry, and cursed: "It's him, Lu Zitao who was recruited! Otherwise, how could Lu Zitao be fooled so easily!"

With a quick swipe, Zhang Dun and Changsun Wuji looked at Du Yan with weird eyes.

Du Yan laughed angrily, his knuckles creaked and made a fuss for a long time, and then went back to Yushitai?

Cheng Yaojin folded his hands on his shoulders, looked at them with his head tilted, grinned and said: "You all know what happened, now let's talk about what to do."

Changsun Wuji snorted coldly: "What else can I do? Wait."

"The three of us are imperial envoys appointed by His Majesty. Your Majesty should be able to guess that we have arrived at Hedong Road."

"If it is too late to give the imperial court an urgent report, His Majesty will definitely become suspicious."

"At that time, His Majesty will order to send Li Jing, Li Ji and others to lead an army to surround the entire Hedong Road."

Changsun Wuji said indifferently: "None of them can escape."

Zhang Dun looked relaxed, and nodded with a smile.

That's why he decided to come and annex the state governor's office.

After all, the three of them are imperial envoys.

If someone treats him as a mob and kills him outside, then the imperial court will probably be the first and the second big one when he investigates.

But now, they have arrived at the State Governor's Mansion.

If something happens in the General Manager's Mansion.

Everyone in the officialdom of Hedong Road must be buried with them, and none of them can escape!

Including those counties who annexed the land!

One counts as one!

Killing an imperial envoy is a crime of copying and beheading, which is clearly written in Tang law!

Zhang Dun looked at Cheng Yaojin, Ma Yuangui and Lu Zizang, and said with a smile, "Shangsun Shangshu is right. What should be worried now is not us, but them."

"We'll just wait and see how it gets better."

"Maybe..." Zhang Dun turned his head to look at the closed door, and said softly, "They have already sent someone over."

----

"Damn things!"

"How did this general tell you that anyone from Chang'an City is not allowed to enter Hedong Road!"

Jinyang County is the seat of Taiyuan County.

At this moment, within the county government office of Jinyang County, roars resounded through the lobby of the county government office along with the thumping of the case.

In the hall of the county government office, Deputy General Han knelt on one knee on the ground, his face was pale and his head was bowed in silence.

In front of him, a burly middle-aged man with a scar on his face stared at him with a livid face, and shouted, "Are you dumb? This general told you to answer!"

"Lu, General Lu..." Deputy General Han said with a trembling voice, "It's a lowly job, and the lowly job is dereliction of duty."

Lu Zitao was furious, kicked him heavily, and said angrily, "Do you think it's just dereliction of duty?"

"For such a big matter, why didn't the general look for someone else, but your surname Han? Because you are the general's confidant!"

"This general believes in you, but you made things like this!"

"Did the general tell you at that time that anyone from Chang'an City must be locked up, no matter what his identity is?"

Deputy General Han raised his head and said in a trembling voice, "General Lu, those three people have imperial edicts in their hands!"

Lu Zitao's facial muscles twitched, "Are you a Yumu head? It's because they have imperial edicts in their hands. They are imperial envoys sent by the imperial court. This general wants you to stop them and not let them enter Hedong Road!"

"It's good for you, you not only let them in, but also sent them to the chief manager's mansion! The general's subsequent arrangements were all disrupted by you!"

Chapter 237 Chenggong, tell the truth, have you ever kicked the iron gate of my house?

The more Lu Zitao thought about it, the angrier he became, and he wished he could kill him here with a knife.

But, not now!

He is so understaffed.

Especially trustworthy people.

The entire Hedong Road is now a mess, all controlled by him alone.

But the more time passed, the more he felt powerless.

The prefects who were with him, since they merged into the land of the victims, no longer flattered themselves as before.

Even, there is a faint stance against him.

The reason is that he asked those county governors to pay for the resettlement of the victims.

The more Lu Zitao thought about it, the more helpless he became. They got the benefits, but they all blamed themselves.

It's better now, and it looks like he wants to die.

If you knew that they were of this virtue at the beginning.

Even if you kill them, you won't get on their thief ship!

Lu Zitao took a deep breath, and turned his head to look at a middle-aged man sitting aside with his head down and his expression uncertain.

He is Sun Xue, the supervisory censor!

Sun Xue has a good appearance and a goatee. Although he is not tall, he has the temperament of a great talent.

It was him who put himself on a thief ship!

Lu Zitao walked up to him and said in a deep voice, "Sun Yushi, tell me what to do now?"

Sun Xue raised his head and said in a cold voice: "What do you think? The question came from someone under your command. Now you ask me instead?"

"How did I explain to you at the beginning? You must send your confidants, and you must stop anyone from Chang'an City from entering Hedong Road!"
