God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1037: Hu County's Last Hope
Hu County, Prince Consort Mansion.

Zhang Xuansu said slowly: "Master, Lu Mingyou is usually in the court. He is silent, does not show the mountains and does not show water. He has been in the official department for many years. He has no conspicuous credit, but he has no mistakes. They are all impeccable, they seem to have a clean sleeve, and they are nothing special, but looking at the grievances between the young master and the Lu family this time, the officials in the court and the central government are against you one after another. Come to think of it, these people have never made friends with Lu Mingyou on the surface. But in private, there must be a conspiracy, Lu Mingyu's death, Lu Mingyou did not move, did not jump out like you thought, this man's city is deep, you can see it."

Du He sat on the chair and said with a smile: "This guy Lu Mingyou is quite interesting... However, the second round between this young master and Mrs. Lu is over."

In the first round, Lu Ming'an designed to frame Du Jinwei and wanted the secret recipe for making glass. Du He used his tricks and asked Meng Qi to steal the secret recipe for making gunpowder and handing it to Lu Shi. All 30 members of Lu Ming'an's family were killed, Wang Cheng and others People jumped out to avenge Lu's justice, and all the evidence was resolved by Du He one by one, and Wang Cheng was relegated.Du Ho wins.

In the second round, Lu Mingyou went out in person and resorted to two vicious tricks. Du He responded skillfully and killed Lu Mingyu, but the county seat of Hu County became a dead city.Both sides have their own winners and losers.

The third round is about to start.

Zhang Xuansu couldn't help asking: "Next, what shall we do?"

Du He said, "Wait!"

Just wait for a word.

But Zhang Xuansu felt that the consort's mansion could not afford to wait anymore.

He said: "Young Master, all business in Huxian County has stopped now, and there are city management brigades and black-robed judges here. No one dares to provoke trouble in a short time, but so many people gather here, and it will be uncontrollable for a long time. Ah, let's wait, didn't we just fall into Lu Mingyou's trick?"

Du He suddenly smiled: "Lu Mingyou's goal is me, but my goal is not just him."

Zhang Xuansu frowned, pondered for a while, and suddenly realized, his eyes widened.

He thinks that he has already reached the peak of perfection by calculating people's hearts.

However, compared with Du He, there are more than twelve alleys behind.

Those monsters in the poor think tank, calculated the battle situation every day, and were very proud of themselves, but they didn't know that the young master could figure out what a dozen of them spent the whole morning in the blink of an eye.

……

half a month later.

Hu County is like a huge dynamite bag, which explodes as soon as it is poked.

Jingzhao Mansion, the backyard of the government office.

Iron-clad government offices, flowing officials.

The newly appointed Governor of Jingzhao is Liu Da who came from the court.

At this moment, Liu Da, the governor of Jingzhao, is tasting tea in the backyard.On the left and right, there are beautiful and lovely maids fanning.

In the opposite pavilion, behind a table, a storyteller is telling historical stories of the Three Kingdoms period.

A servant stood beside him, and said slowly: "This morning alone, there are over a thousand people who came to Chang'an City from Huxian County. Among these people, they are all scolding the son-in-law Du He and Wei Shuyu. I heard that , People in Huxian County are starving to death."

Liu Da snorted coldly: "Du He is asking for his own death. If he fights against Mrs. Lu, what good results can he get? It's not that he pity those innocent people... Send someone to watch Hu County, sooner or later something will happen to Hu County , we can't go early, and we can't go late, otherwise, we have to bear the responsibility. This responsibility belongs to Du He and Wei Shuyu. Look at that guy Wei Shuyu, who was foolishly held by Du He at the beginning. Huyou went to serve as the county magistrate, and now once Hu County is over, he is also over."

Back then, when Du He left Hu County, the post of magistrate of Hu County was vacant.

Liu Da was also watching. He worked up and down, preparing to let his nephew replace him.

Unexpectedly, Wei Shuyu appeared on the way, disrupting his plan.

From then on, he didn't like Hu County, and he didn't like Wei Shuyu even more.

At this moment, a young servant hurried in and reported: "My lord, the county magistrate of Hu County, Wei Shuyu asks to see you."

Liu Da laughed and said: "Really, Cao Cao will be here. Wei Shuyu is coming to Jingzhao Mansion at this time. I'm afraid he has something to ask for me. I want to see if there is any other way for this guy to let him in."

Not long after, the servants brought Wei Shuyu up.

Wei Shuyu's hair was disheveled, his eyes were red and swollen, bloodshot, and his face was pale. It looked like he hadn't rested for a long time.

"Wei Shuyu, born late, pay homage to Mr. Liu!" He saluted respectfully with a serious expression.

Liu Da smiled and nodded, asked someone to move a chair for Wei Shuyu, and then asked, "Magistrate Wei went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so he arrived at Jingzhao Mansion today, what's the matter?"

Wei Shuyu said: "Master Liu is really good at predicting things, and he came to the house tonight, but he came to borrow money!"

"Borrowing money? It is said that Huxian County is the richest in the world, and the county government of Huxian County is even richer than my Jingzhao Mansion. County Magistrate Wei, don't make jokes." Liu Da said in a strange tone, with a very teasing tone.

Wei Shuyu looked serious, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Liu, Hu County was indeed very rich before, and the monthly tax was tens of thousands of guan, but you know the current situation, the tax bureau has not collected a single penny for more than a month. I realized that Huxian County is undergoing heavy construction, spending money like running water, and repaying the loan from Wudi Bank. It is already beyond our means. Nowadays, the people have no way of life, and there are more and more disaster victims. Wansheng, as the magistrate of Huxian County, Of course, you can’t do nothing but ask Master Liu to lend some money to Hu County to help the victims, what do you think?”

Liu Da asked curiously: "Why don't you borrow money from Invincible Bank? Why don't you borrow money from Dream Group? You know, the big shopkeeper of Invincible Bank is Her Royal Highness Princess Runan, and Dream Group belongs to Du He. The wealth of the Netherlands can rival the country."

Hearing this, Wei Shuyu had a bitter expression on his face.

"Master Liu, you don't know. Now that Dream Group is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, it is hard to protect itself. How can it care about the life and death of the people in Hu County...Master Liu, Qian has become the last hope of Hu County, Wansheng begs you Help!" Wei Shuyu said.

Liu Da waved his hand: "Magistrate Wei, if there are other things, I will definitely help you, but it is impossible to borrow money. If you don't believe me, go and have a look. My Jingzhao Mansion seems to be bright and beautiful. The money warehouse and the granary are empty. Now It's the time when I can't pick up, and I don't have the energy to help you, so you can do it yourself!"

Wei Shuyu nodded, stood up, and said with emotion: "The last hope of Hu County is shattered."

He turned around to take his leave and prepared to leave, then said earnestly: "Master Liu, please keep my matter a secret for me."

"Good talk good talk!"

Liu Da readily agreed.

However, as soon as Wei Shuyu left, Liu Da called his servants over: "Send Wei Shuyu's borrowing of money immediately, remember, the sooner the better."

"Yes!"

Soon, one piece of news spread from the Jingzhao government office.
