Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

After returning to Yangshan County, Lu Xunhuan continued to help the county government with advice.

The county magistrate was determined to achieve something great, even to the point of causing a sensation throughout the country and alarming His Majesty the King, so he spared no effort in doing it.

Lu Xunhuan, with the halo of being Liang Jizi's disciple, is extremely dazzling in Yangshan County.

In addition, his early success made Yangshan Restaurant, Wangfuji Tailor Shop, Yuanshenyuanqian Building and others earn a lot of money, which proved that his philosophy was correct.

He was accompanied by county officials when he went in and out every day, and his three meals a day were all paid for by the county government.

As a result, his net worth has skyrocketed.

Originally, there were many businesses in Yangshan County that wanted to ask him to help with their business plans.

But Lu Xunhuan was busy all day helping to issue various laws, writing various plans to promote development, and taking officials on inspections from time to time, so he had no time at all.

He didn't even have time to go back to the tailor shop. It was as if he was already a member of the county government, not a salesperson in the tailor shop.

Secondly, he is now accompanied by officials when he goes out and when he eats, and officials sit with him when he eats. How can those businesses afford to invite such a person of high status?

After he was treated like a distinguished guest by the county government, he even changed his residence. How could a man of such wealth still sleep in that tailor shop?

The county magistrate specially prepared a comfortable and cozy place for Lu Xunhuan in his own mansion, with all the necessary supplies, and also specially arranged two maids to take care of him.

Lu Xunhuan gladly accepted it, because it made him look more prestigious.

He has a very high status, so no one dares to do bad things or make trouble in the Yangshan Restaurant, Wangfuji Tailor Shop, and Yuanshenyuanqian Building under his protection, and he can maintain his prosperous business.

As a result, it became even more difficult for everyone to see him, even Mei Siya had difficulty seeing him.

Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Southern Liang Kingdom has generally felt cooler.

Last week, the country entered a cold winter.

The news that the disciples of Liang Jizi, a sage of the Southern Liang Kingdom, are promoting the development of various industries in Yangshan County has spread to Yingzhou City, the capital of the Southern Liang Kingdom.

His Majesty the King was greatly surprised when he read the memorial submitted by the Baocheng Prefecture.

The report specifically mentioned that since the disciple of the sage Liang Jizi helped Yangshan County with advice, all industries in Yangshan County have flourished, and the taxes paid by Yangshan County to the state government have increased fivefold.

You must know that Yangshan County is located on the border between Nanliang State and Zhou State. It is a place where wars often occur and has always been weak and poor.

It suddenly became rich and became the most prosperous area under the jurisdiction of Baocheng Prefecture.

How is this not amazing!

After reading the memorial, His Majesty the King turned his gaze to the Minister of State: "Minister Yu, you were the one who forwarded this memorial to me. I'm sure you've already read it. In your opinion, is it true, or is it exaggerated?"

Minister Yu stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, Liang Jizi was a sage of our Southern Liang Kingdom. Sixty years ago, when he assisted our dynasty, our national strength reached its peak. Unfortunately, he only served for ten years before disappearing. Since Lu Suifeng was his disciple, I think it's quite normal for him to have developed a small Yangshan County."

His Majesty the King stroked his beard and said, "That makes sense."

He turned his gaze to the Prime Minister again: "Prime Minister Lu, what do you think?"

Prime Minister Lu stepped forward and saluted. "Your Majesty," he said, "local officials sometimes resort to deception and exaggeration to get promoted. I believe that seeing is believing. I must go and see for myself."

His Majesty the King subconsciously touched his knees and said, "But my legs won't obey me. I can take a walk in the Imperial Garden, but I can't go thousands of miles away."

Prime Minister Lu said, "Your Majesty, please send a trusted minister to go on your behalf."

His Majesty the King stroked his beard again and said, "Let me think about this."

He wanted to send someone, but he had to consider carefully who to send and how to send it.

Now the collusion between the upper and lower levels is very serious. If a corrupt official is sent to a local government, he will be bribed by the local government and come back to brag about the local government. It is equivalent to the king being deceived and unable to understand the real situation.

Although the king of Southern Liang was old, he was not foolish and could be considered a wise ruler.

Meanwhile, in Jingdu, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, the Sixth Prince secretly summoned Prime Minister Zhang and asked, "Your son is almost turning the land of Zhongzhou upside down. Where is the person you entrusted? Has he found Lu Xunhuan?"

Zhang Xiangguo reported, "After that kid went to Southern Liang, no one knew which direction he went. He disappeared without a trace. Elder Zhu of the Qingfeng Sect searched for him for three months, traveling throughout the eight states of Southern Liang, but couldn't find a trace of him."

The Sixth Prince stroked his beard and asked, "Could it be that this boy didn't even go?"

He asked, "Did Elder Zhu go to Dengtianmen to see it?"

Zhang Xiangguo replied, "He did. Elder Zhu not only went to Dengtian Gate, but also visited all the places where he might be hiding, such as Qingtian Pass where the Sixteenth Princess stayed, the inn run by Li Ziyan in Changfeng Town, the property bought by Lu Xunhuan in the south of Zhongzhou City, the location of the Immortal Friends Association, and even Feixian Gate. Elder Zhu sneaked in and looked for him everywhere."

The Sixth Prince was a little overwhelmed: "Where did this brat hide?"

He shook his head. "It's all your fault. You came up with that awful idea, asking him to go undercover in Nanliang. If he had just stayed in Zhongzhou City, why would we have gone through all this trouble?"

Zhang Xiangguo said, "Oh, Your Majesty, sending him far away was also for the sake of the Eighteenth Prince. If Your Majesty hadn't insisted on investigating that Wang Tingsi, he could have been assassinated and put an end to it all."

The Sixth Prince snorted, "Do I need you to teach me how to do things? The eldest princess secretly established the Royal Court Division during her lifetime. How many members did she recruit? Who did she investigate? What secrets did they know? If we can't catch them all, how can you sleep well?"

After a moment of silence, the Sixth Prince continued, "It is said that when Lu Xunhuan left, he reached Qingtian Pass and was personally escorted off by the Sixteenth Princess. This Prince believes he must have gone to the Southern Liang Kingdom. I will give Elder Zhu double the commission and let him stay in the Southern Liang Kingdom for another six months to investigate."

Zhang Xiangguo bowed and said, "Yes."

Yangshan County, from top to bottom, is experiencing a brand new atmosphere under the new laws and policies.

Twenty miles of road have been built from Yangshan County to Baisha Town at the border.

The road is wide and flat, and the foundation is very solid.

When Lu Xunhuan issued the road construction standards, he specifically wrote down 28 quality standards.

For example, how wide the road should be, how thick the foundation should be, etc.

The road surface must be able to withstand the pressure of wheels, the sun and rain, and even the impact of floods.

As for what materials to use for the foundation and the road surface, it is decided by the skilled craftsmen who build the road.

Anyway, once the repair is done, the reward will be generous, but if quality problems arise soon after, the responsibility will be placed on the person.

For example, bridges have load-bearing standards. They must be strong, beautiful, and not affect the navigation of ships.

One day, Lu Xunhuan and a group of county officials were inspecting the road quality when a soldier suddenly came to report: "Report, we've captured two spies."

When Lu Xunhuan heard the word "spy", his heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that he was sent by Zhou Guo last week?

He ordered: "The checkpoint is so heavily guarded, where did the spy come from? Bring him here and take a look. Don't wrongly accuse ordinary people."

After a while, two young men were brought up.

Both of them are fair-skinned and obviously not working people. It is easy to be misunderstood that they came here to watch the road construction.

One of the two was obviously a man.

The other person had a small mustache that didn't match his delicate face, and it was obvious that he was a woman dressed as a man.

An official beside Lu Xunhuan shouted, "Where are you from? Are you a spy sent by the Zhou Kingdom? Speak."

Lu Xun Huan quickly waved his hands: "Don't scare them. Look at them, they can't be spies. They must be the sons of some wealthy family who are bored and come here to hang out."

The official looked at the two of them carefully and said, "Yes, they are so delicate and tender, obviously they are used to a life of luxury."

He then asked, "Where are you two from? What are you looking at? What's so good about it? Do you want to donate money?"

Lu Xunhuan smiled and said, "You're crazy about the money. You continue to supervise everyone in building the road. I'll take them back to the city."

He untied the ropes for the two men and said, "Come on, I will drive the carriage for you two myself."

When the two young men got in his carriage and drove ten miles away, the city wall of Yangshan County was already in sight.

Lu Xun Huan stopped the carriage and turned back, lifting the curtain. He said with a smile, "It's too dangerous to go out instead of staying in the palace."

The two young men looked at each other in surprise. The young man with the mustache asked, "How did you know we came from the palace?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "People from small places are ignorant. They don't know your identity even though you are wearing yellow underwear. I am Liang Jizi's disciple. If they can't even tell this, then I have learned from the teacher in vain."

The man with the sticky mustache lowered his head to look at his chest, and his yellow underwear was indeed exposed from under his coat.

There is a dragon embroidered on the yellow underwear.

Apart from the royal family, anyone who dared to embroider a dragon on clothing would be guilty of treason and face the death penalty.

She quickly pulled her clothes to cover herself up: "Are you Lu Suifeng?"

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "I understand your intentions. His Majesty sent you here to investigate, right? Don't worry, I, Lu Sui Feng, will keep my mouth shut. From now on, I will say that you are mine..."

He asked, “By the way, how old are you?”

The man said, "I'm twenty-five, and she's eighteen."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "I understand. From now on, you will be my distant cousins ​​from Baocheng. Remember?"

The man nodded. "That's great. It's really embarrassing to be captured today. I can't let this happen again. Lu Suifeng, thank you very much."

Lu Xun Huan turned around and started driving the carriage again: "Let's go, we need to get you a few sets of clothes inside and out, and change them all."

After the carriage entered the city, it went all the way to the tailor's shop and then stopped.

Lu Xunhuan walked in with the two young men, and when they saw the finished clothes, they took them.

A tailor quickly said, "Mr. Lu, this is someone else's, waiting to be delivered, don't take it carelessly."

Nowadays, no one in the tailor shop calls him Erwa anymore.

Lu Xun Huan took out a banknote and said, "Five hundred taels, spend it. Help them make new ones. These, these... I want them. Give them to my cousins."

The tailor, holding the five hundred taels of silver, beamed and said to the two young men, "You are so lucky to have such relatives."
