Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

"Okay, no problem, I'll sign!"

Lu Qing was so fooled by Lu Yuan's words that he signed his name on the contract without hesitation.

"Okay, brother is indeed a man with great intentions."

Lu Yuan flicked the contract with his fingers, grinned and said, "Brother, you should have a good rest first."

"In a moment, we will order someone to bring the Liaocheng County Magistrate's official robe and ribbon to your residence."

"I don't bother, I'm leaving."

After that, Lu Yuan ordered the two maids to stay and continue to serve Lu Qing drinking.

He happily walked out and gently closed the door.

"Husband, are you going a little too far?"

Looking at the contract in Lu Yuan's hand, Su Liyan had a complicated expression.

"After all, he, Lu Qing, is also the heir of the Crown Prince, the noble grandson of Lie Qian."

"You let him be a county magistrate in Liaocheng. How will he explain to the prince when he returns?"

"Don't worry, we have a plan."

Lu Yuan grinned and said, "Besides, with Lu Qing watching over Liaocheng, there is no need for other manpower."

"When the time comes, you can follow me back to the imperial city. Aren't you happy?"

"Of course happy!"

Su Liyan nodded immediately, smiled and said, "I never want to be separated from my husband again!"

"Leave the affairs of Liaocheng to His Highness Lu Qing, I think he can do it!"

That night, Lu Yuan spent the night in Su Liyan's room.

At noon the next day, a small boat floated down the river.

It was Gu Qingwan who came to visit Lu Yuan.

Gu Qingwan came to Liaocheng and went straight to the county government office.

However, after arriving at the county government office, Lu Yuan was nowhere to be seen.

But he saw Lu Qing, wearing the clothes of a seventh-grade county magistrate, sitting in front of the table in the mansion.

The two below were kneeling on the porch, with several bruises and scars on their faces.

Lu Qing held a dossier in his hand, his face full of confusion and hesitation.

Suddenly, he noticed Gu Qingwan standing outside the door, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Brother and sister Qingwan, why are you here? Come in quickly!"

Gu Qingwan walked into the county government office and asked in astonishment, "Your Highness Lu Qing, you...how did you become the county magistrate?"

"Hey, this is a long story."

Lu Qing waved his hand and asked seriously, "Please help us solve this case first."

"These two fought with each other because of the uneven distribution of the spoils at the gambling table, and both of them were injured."

"Tell me about this case. How should we decide it?"

Gu Qingwan glanced at the contents of the file, then looked at the two people kneeling below.

Then he said without thinking, "What's so difficult about this?"

"Setting up a gambling situation violates the law of Liegan. Both people should be fined a hundred taels of silver and have all gambling funds and gambling equipment confiscated."

"As for the fights, just ask a doctor from the city to examine the injuries, and those who are slightly injured will pay silver to those who are seriously injured. Wouldn't that be good?"

Lu Qing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and couldn't help but slap his thigh heavily: "That's right!"

"Brother and sister Qingwan, you are so clever!"

"Listen to the verdict. The unruly king Wu Liliu set up a gambling situation. Each of them will be fined a hundred taels of silver and all gambling funds and gambling equipment will be confiscated!"

"Come on, take these two guys and go to the city to find the best doctor."

"Whoever is more seriously injured will pay 30 taels of Wen Yin to the more seriously injured person, and will cover all medical expenses!"

At this time, Lu Yuan walked slowly from outside with his hands behind his back.

He smiled and nodded, satisfied, "Not bad, not bad!"

"My brother's decision was really reasonable, fair and selfless, it's like the sky in Liaocheng!"

"Hey, where is it."

Lu Qing scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "Brother Yuan, tell the truth."

"At first, I really looked down on this little seventh-grade county magistrate. I thought there could be any troublesome affairs in just one county?"

"But now it seems that being a county magistrate is not as easy as I thought."

"That's natural."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "There are hundreds of people, all kinds of people, let alone hundreds of thousands of people in a county."

“If you don’t govern one county, how can you govern the world?”

"Brother, you can only govern Liaocheng well first, and then you can better govern the world in the future, right?"

"By the way, a group of victims came from the north of the city, and the city guard is asking for instructions on how to resettle them..."

"I'll deal with it!"

Lu Qing said excitedly, "Brother Yuan, you and your siblings are sitting here drinking tea."

"This is a small matter, I'll do it as soon as I go!"

Gu Qingwan took Lu Yuan's arm and whispered, "Brother, isn't this a little too much?"

"What's too much?"

Lu Yuan shrugged and said with a smile, "He still has to thank us."

"Brother Yuan, thank you!" Lu Qing had already run to the door and shouted back.

"You're welcome, brother, go quickly."

……

Lu Yuan cooked for Gu Qingwan himself.

While eating, he asked with a faint smile, "Qingwan, what's the matter with coming all the way to Liaocheng?"

"Can't I come and see you if it's okay?"

Gu Qingwan rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Or do you think you have too many women in your heart and have forgotten me a long time ago?"

"What are you talking about..."

Lu Yuan suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, "Qingwan, are your brother and I so romantic?"

"It didn't happen before, but not necessarily now."

Gu Qingwan snorted and pouted displeasedly.

"Okay, okay, don't be so jealous."

Lu Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "When we return to the imperial city, I will stay with you every day, okay?"

"it is good!"

Gu Qingwan nodded without hesitation, "Then let's leave now."

"Now?"

Lu Yuan was slightly startled and wondered, "There's no need to be so anxious, right?"

"Of course it's useful!"

Gu Qingwan said angrily, "You don't really think that I came all the way just to see you, do you?"

"Five days later, it will be the emperor's 62nd birthday, and the entire imperial city will be celebrating together."

"As the most talked-about figure among officials today, how can you not attend and leave people with a reason to talk about it?"

Lu Yuan nodded thoughtfully, it turned out to be the emperor's birthday.

I have been so busy recently that I actually forgot about it.

While thinking about it, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel his heart sink.

Unknowingly, the emperor was already 62 years old.

If the original history develops, his life will come to an end in two years.

But there are still many things that I want to do that I have not yet achieved.

In these two years, he has to do at least two things.

First, the emperor made up his mind to pass the throne to his father, the King of Han, instead of the crown prince.

The emperor is not an ignorant king, and the prince is not a mediocre person.

It's not easy for him to risk his life and give birth to a child.

The only possibility is to be like the three emperors Kang, Yong and Qian of the Qing Dynasty.

Kangxi was interested in the intelligence and talents of the emperor's grandson Hongli, who was later Emperor Qianlong, and insisted that he was his successor.

Therefore, Yongzheng Yinzhen, the father of Qianlong, succeeded in inheriting the throne.

Second, Lu Yuan wants to connect Liaocheng and Luxi to form his own power.

In this way, even if the first thing did not succeed, Dad did not win the big position.

He also has enough capital in his hands to ensure that his family and women are safe.Of course, it is not easy to accomplish these two things in just two years.

But Lu Yuan will still rack his brains to find a way.

Never give up even a glimmer of hope.

"Qingwan, you stay in Liaocheng for a day first, and I will walk with you."

Lu Yuan smiled lightly and said, "Tomorrow, we will set off together and return to the imperial city."

……

The next morning, the sky was slightly bright.

Lu Yuan took a boat and returned to the imperial city with Gu Qingwan, Xu Ling, Lingju, Su Liyan, Siren, Guishu, and Liu Ninglu.

He entrusted all matters concerning Liaocheng to Lu Qing.

Lu Yuan believed that this ambitious brother would never let him down.

After returning to the imperial city, there were only a few days left before Emperor Yongle's birthday, and Gu Qingwan still had a lot of things to do.

Su Liyan and others returned to Prince Han's Mansion to pay their respects to their parents for the first time in a long time.

Lu Yuan took Shai Ling with him and planned to go directly to the palace to meet the emperor.

Suddenly passing by a small stall, Wei Ling suddenly stopped.

"It smells good."

Lu Yuan was slightly startled, and when he took a closer look, he saw that this was a stall selling butter sesame cakes.

On the opposite side, there is a large iron pot propped up by a vendor selling duck blood and vermicelli soup.

Lu Yuan suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and had no choice but to say, "Are you hungry or greedy?"

"Okay, then let's eat and then leave."

Immediately, Lu Yuan took Xiling and sat down on the small bench behind the sesame seed stall.

He took out five taels of silver and packed all the sesame cakes and duck blood soup.

As he expected, these imperial city snacks fit Wei Ling's taste very well.

He ate more than twenty large sesame seed cakes in one go and drank up a pot full of duck blood soup.

The two vendors were stunned for a moment, and they even wondered if there was something wrong with their eyes.

"Huh? You..."

The sesame seed vendor suddenly noticed something, looked at Lu Yuan up and down, and said with surprise.

"Are you the eldest son of the Han Dynasty?"

"Oh my god, you are really a prince!"

"Hey, fellow citizens, the prince is here!"

The sesame seed vendor shouted, and the passers-by immediately cast surprised glances.

"What? Is it really the prince?"

"Wow, Your Majesty, please sign your name for me..."

Now Lu Yuan is definitely a famous figure in the imperial city.

After being yelled by the sesame seed vendor, countless people gathered around him.

Just like those crazy fans of singers and movie stars in previous lives, Lu Yuan was surrounded by people.

"Well, folks, please calm down..."

"Xiling, don't eat, run away!"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Lu Yuan grabbed Xiling's hand and ran away with all his strength.

Wei Ling still had half a sesame seed cake in her mouth, looking at the two stalls reluctantly, obviously still unfinished.

Lu Yuan fled all the way, and it took a lot of effort to throw away the "pursuers" behind him.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a laughing voice came from in front of him.

"Yuan'er, are you back?"

Lu Yuan was slightly startled and turned around to take a look.

It turned out that he ran outside the gate of the Prince's Mansion without knowing it.

The person standing in front of him was the prince.

"I met uncle."

Lu Yuan nodded in greeting and said with a wry smile, "My nephew has just returned. I haven't had time to greet you and the emperor yet. Please forgive me, uncle."

"Ho ho, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

The prince waved his hand and said with a smile, "Yuan'er, I heard that my Qing'er had nothing to do and ran to Liaocheng to find you two days ago."

"Why, he didn't come back with you this time?"

Lu Yuan said seriously, "Uncle, my brother did not come back with me."

"He told me that as the prince's son, he is determined to do something big."

"So I have to stay in Liaocheng for a while and say I won't come back in the short term."

"That's right."

The prince nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile, "Yuan'er, your incompetent brother has caused you to worry."

"I wonder what career you have found for him in Liaocheng?"

"Hey, uncle, this business is huge."

Lu Yuan's face was solemn and he whispered, "Brother, he is currently in Liaocheng and serves as the county magistrate."

"Hundreds of thousands of people in Liaocheng are all under his command. There is a long way to go."

The prince was slightly startled, then suddenly became furious.

"Yuan'er, you...are you kidding?!"

"Your brother is the eldest son of the Prince's Mansion, and he is quite famous in the imperial city."

"You...why did you let him be a small county magistrate?"

"If this matter spreads out, won't it make the world laugh out loud?"

"Hurry up and tell him to come back to me!"

"Uncle, I'm afraid this won't work."

Lu Yuan shook his head and said helplessly, "I originally advised brother to think about it again."

"But no matter what, my brother's attitude is very resolute. In order to express his feelings, he directly signed his signature with me."

"If you don't believe it, look at it, uncle."

With that said, Lu Yuan took out the contract and waved it innocently in front of the prince's eyes.

"According to the agreement in the contract, my brother will serve as a county magistrate in Liaocheng for at least three years."

"Within three years, if he goes back on his word and breaks the contract, he will pay me 5000 million taels of silver."

"How many?!"

The prince's eyes widened and he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

5000 million taels?

If it is 5000 taels, or 5 taels.

The prince would never hesitate to spend this money to redeem his son.

This bastard actually signed such a contract...

Forget it, forget it, just pretend that you don't have this son.

When Lu Yuan left, he squeezed his thighs to suppress his laughter.

The prince was so angry that the corners of his mouth kept twitching, and he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

Back at Prince Han's Mansion, my father was in the courtyard, poking cicadas on the tree with a bamboo pole.

When he saw Lu Yuan returning, he immediately threw away the bamboo pole and said with a smile, "Er smash, you are finally back. I miss you so much!"

"What happy event happened? Why are you so happy?"

"It can't be considered a happy event."

Immediately, Lu Yuan suppressed his laughter and told his father everything.

I heard that Lu Qing was left in Liaocheng and became the county magistrate, and also signed a deed of sale for 5000 million taels of silver.

King Han couldn't hold back at first and burst into laughter, almost rolling on the ground.

"Haha, hahaha! Son, you did a good job!"

"That Lu Qing, who is usually arrogant and domineering in the imperial city, was tricked into becoming the county magistrate in Liaocheng by you?"

"Okay, okay, now my eldest brother has completely lost his face!"

Lu Yuan smiled and said nothing more.

In everyone's eyes, by leaving Lu Qing in Liaocheng as the county magistrate, he was humiliating and teasing him.

But in Lu Yuan's view, he was just helping him. (End of chapter)
