With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

Chen Qingwan was choked by him and couldn't speak. She could only glare at him fiercely.

Lu Yan was in a good mood when he saw Chen Qingwan's angry look.

He walked up to the bound bandits, kicked one of them, and asked:

"Tell me, where is your lair?"

The bandit was so frightened that he trembled and dared not speak.

Lu Yan sneered and kicked again:

"You won't tell me? Then don't blame me for being rude!"

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you!" The bandit begged for mercy.

"Our lair is in Black Wind Village!"

"Black Wind Village?" Lu Yan touched his chin.

"Go back and tell the leader of your Black Wind Village to report to the Shannan County Government immediately, otherwise I will destroy the Black Wind Village!"

Lu Yan shouted sternly, his tone filled with unquestionable majesty.

The bandit was so frightened when he heard this that he nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Lu Yan waved his hand and had him let go.

“Han Sheng, take the rest of the people back to Shannan County.”

Han Sheng clasped his fists and accepted the order: “Yes, sir!”

He then called a few special forces soldiers to escort the captured bandits down the mountain to the Shannan County Government Office.

"Lord Lu, why did you let that man go back? Aren't you afraid that he would go back and inform the authorities?" Chen Qingwan asked in confusion.

Lu Yan smiled mysteriously:

"I just want him to go back and tip off the authorities. I want the leader of Black Wind Village to know how powerful I am and turn himself in at the Shannan County Government Office!"

Chen Qingwan and Qiao'er looked at each other in surprise. It was the first time they had seen someone act like this.

My evaluation of Lu Yan became even more unpredictable.

"Miss Chen, where are you going?"

Lu Yan leaned against a crooked tree, twisting a piece of dogtail grass in his hand, and asked casually.

Chen Qingwan snorted lightly, raised her chin slightly and showed a proud attitude:

"Where this girl goes is none of your business."

Lu Yan burst out laughing:

"Oh, you're quite mysterious. What's the matter? Are you afraid that I'm following you and doing something bad?"

Qiao'er rolled her eyes.

"Lord Lu, please be more polite! Our young lady is not that kind of person!"

"Casual? That's not necessarily true."

Lu Yan deliberately prolonged the last syllable and looked at Chen Qingwan meaningfully.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Chen Qingwan held back and rushed over angrily, saying, "Kill him now."

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore." Lu Yan dropped his joking tone.

"Seriously, where are you going?"

Chen Qingwan hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth:

"We're going to Qingshui County."

"Qingshui County?" Lu Yan raised his eyebrows.

"What a coincidence, I was going there too."

"What are you doing in Qingshui County?" Chen Qingwan asked warily.

"Of course I'm going to do office work." Lu Yan spread his hands.

"I, the county magistrate, am not here to eat for nothing."

Chen Qingwan looked at him with half-belief and half-doubt, always feeling that this guy had bad intentions.

"Since it's on our way, why don't we go together?" Lu Yan suggested.

Chen Qingwan originally wanted to refuse, but thinking that it would be nice to have a "bodyguard" on the road, she reluctantly agreed.

So, the two teams merged together and headed towards Qingshui County.

When they arrived in Qingshui County, Lu Yan and Chen Qingwan parted ways.

Qingshui County is as lifeless as ever.

There are few pedestrians on the streets and the shops are deserted.

It is in stark contrast to the prosperous scene of Shannan County.

Lu Yan rode his horse along the way with a frown on his face.

I was secretly thinking about how to "save" this lifeless county town.

After arriving at the Qingshui County Government Office, Lu Yan did not go in directly.

Instead, he arranged for Zhang Xun to lead a small team to control the county government office to prevent Zhao Dezhu from escaping upon hearing the news.

He and Han Sheng led the rest of the soldiers and quietly surrounded Zhao Dezhu's mansion.

At this time, there was singing and dancing and drinking in Zhao Dezhu's mansion.

Zhao Dezhu hugged two scantily clad singers, hugging them on both sides, feeling very happy.

He drank with big gulps of wine and laughed as he said:

"This master has absolute power in Qingshui County. Who dares to disobey? Hahahaha!"

The maids in the mansion were all busy and charming.

He kept pouring wine for Zhao Dezhu and did his best to flatter him.

Zhao Dezhu had long been drained of his body by alcohol and sex, his eyes were blurred and he looked drunk.

He had no idea that danger was approaching quietly.

"kill!"

A deafening cry of killing.

Like a bolt from the blue, it broke the joyful atmosphere in the mansion.

Zhao Dezhu was so scared that he dropped the wine glass in his hand, which shattered into pieces and splashed the wine all over him.

His face was pale, his lips trembling like sieve chaff, and he asked in fear:

"What's going on? What's happening outside?"

Before he could react, Lu Yan had already led his men to break in.

Like a tiger descending from the mountain, it is unstoppable.

The palace was suddenly in chaos, and the singers and dancers screamed and fled in all directions.

The guards fought hastily, but were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and were vulnerable.

These well-trained special forces are led by Lu Yan.

Like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, he quickly subdued Zhao Dezhu's guards.

Lu Yan grabbed Zhao Dezhu by the collar.

He lifted him up from the chair and said with a sneer:

"Master Zhao, long time no see!"

Zhao Dezhu was already scared out of his wits.

A warm current flowed out of the crotch, emitting a foul smell.

He said tremblingly:

"Lu... Lord Lu, what are you doing?"

"What?" Lu Yan sneered.

"What do you think I'm doing? You've exploited the people and plundered their wealth. Your crimes are heinous. Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven!"

After saying that, Lu Yan ordered his men to tie up Zhao Dezhu and his family members.

Then he began to search Zhao Dezhu's mansion.

As expected, a large amount of gold, silver and treasures of unknown origin were found in Zhao Dezhu's mansion.

As well as many land deeds, they were obviously evidence of his exploitation of the people.

Lu Yan looked at these ill-gotten gains and sneered in his heart.

He immediately ordered that all the treasures be distributed to the poor people in Qingshui County.

After the notice was posted, the news spread like wildfire throughout the streets and alleys of Qingshui County, attracting people to tell each other.

Soon, a huge crowd of people gathered in front of the county government office, rushing in like a tide.

They pushed and shoved each other, scrambling to get the property.

The originally lifeless Qingshui County suddenly became bustling.

The old man stretched out his withered hand tremblingly.

He took the heavy silver, tears glistening in his cloudy eyes.

The woman held the child and kept expressing her gratitude.

The child held the new candy in his hand and smiled, revealing his little mouth with missing front teeth.

Seeing the people happily receiving their money and property, Lu Yan felt a sense of relief in his heart.

He walked up to Zhao Dezhu, who was tied up, and said condescendingly:

"Master Zhao, let me teach you a lesson about what happened today."

"If this happens again, Qingshui County will really have to change its name to Lu."
