My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

Chapter 134 The Clever Stupid

"Director... Commander-in-Chief! This..." Jia Youdao felt that the dice cup in his hand was a little hot at this moment.

"Don't you understand?" Lu Xuan looked at Jia Youdao.

"Commander Governor, have mercy on me. If the dice rolls today, the Commander-in-Chief will not kill me. How can I have my life after the incident?" Jia Youdao knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Lu Xuan and said, "Please Commander-in-Chief, have mercy on me! "

"I pity you?" Lu Xuan looked at Jia Youdao with some humor: "County Magistrate Jia, you don't really think I don't know about the things you did, do you?"

As he spoke, Lu Xuan's eyes also turned cold, and the temperature in the entire lobby seemed to have dropped a few degrees.

"Or do you think that I am waiting for you to come here just to see you?" Lu Xuan turned his head, looked at Jia Youdao and said, "Hurry up, everyone is waiting."

"If I don't waver, the Commander-in-Chief will kill me!" Jia Youdao knew clearly that if the blame was finally placed on him, the whole family would be dead, and everyone around him would die. It would be better to leave it for these people. He didn't believe that Lu Xuan would still return the favor. He could go to Sanyang County and kill his whole family.

"So courageous?" Lu Xuan looked at Jia Youdao in surprise, nodded and said: "It's okay, Mr. Lu doesn't make things difficult for you. He originally wanted everyone to leave it to fate. Now, if I call your name here, you will lose." !”

As he spoke, Lu Xuan read out a long list of names. He had stayed in Shangyang County and knew very well the connections between the families in Shangyang County. Which family was closer to which family? He knew very well that according to Lu Xuan's method of playing , basically, all torn apart.

No one spoke, but everyone present looked at Jia Youdao with cold eyes.

Jia Youdao looked at Lu Xuan with a pale face.

"Magistrate Jia can leave. I said I won't kill you today. Lu always means what he says." Lu Xuan waved his hand to Jia Youdao: "I wish Magistrate Jia a smooth career and a bright future!"

Jia Youdao fell to his knees with a pop and looked at Lu Xuan absentmindedly. He regretted a little. Would it have been better if he had not accepted this task, or simply not been the county magistrate?
Or when doing things, be a little more humane and don't do things too badly. Will Xuan Lu not be so cruel?
But now that things have happened, what's the use of regretting?
Jia Youdao knew that since Lu Xuan wanted to do something to him, he would not be able to escape death today no matter what. Now he just wanted to protect his family.

"If you have no objections, drag him out." Lu Xuan looked around and said with a smile.

"Wait, I'll shake it!" Jia Youdao held the dice cup with difficulty, looked at Lu Xuan with hatred and said, "Lu, you won't end well either."

Now that he knew he was going to die, there was no need to give Lu Xuan any good looks.

"Many people say this before they die." Lu Xuan nodded calmly: "Let's get started."

Jia Youdao gritted his teeth. He had a lot of curse words to say, but looking at Lu Xuan's casual expression, he felt a little frustrated for a moment.

Silently walked up to Cui Yuan and started rolling the dice for the first time.

No one knew which word Lu Xuan wrote, so when the dice cup was opened, no one knew the fate of his family.

Jia Youdao shook it very quickly, and it could even be said to be very perfunctory. No one knew the result anyway. He shook one, then recorded the number, and then walked to the next person.

It only took a quarter of an hour until the last roll of the dice was over.

Jia Youdao seemed to have exhausted all his strength. After shaking for the last time, he sat on the ground as if he had collapsed.

But no one paid attention to him. Everyone held their breath and stared at the upside-down bowl in Lu Xuan's hand. Under the bowl were the words written by Lu Xuan.

The word that concerns the fortune and life of everyone present is here.

"Sometimes I think about it, I'm a really good person. I know that Jiang Shu can't handle this kind of thing, so I help him handle it. Now the sizes are about the same. The big one has two more people than the small one. No matter which one comes out, it's equivalent to giving it to our Governor Jiang. He has solved a lot of problems, he has to thank me!" Seeing everyone's nervousness, Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, you at least have a choice. Those who died because of your thoughts are not as lucky as you, and the whole family is old. I didn’t even know what I did wrong as a child, but I was killed by the officers and soldiers!”

With that said, Lu Xuan opened the upside-down bowl. Lu Xuan picked up the prepared paper and showed it to everyone. A big word made the hearts of most people present sink to the bottom.

Some people stood up and wanted to run, some rushed towards Lu Xuan, and some yelled at Lu Xuan. The originally silent lobby suddenly seemed like a food market.

The rebels who had been prepared quickly rushed in and took all these people away.

Those who survived seemed to have collapsed, unable to move for a long time.

This time Lu Xuan played a lot more than last time. Last time he only drew five, this time he killed half of them!

"Commander Lu!" When the matter was over, the gag order was naturally invalidated. Cui Yuan sighed, looked at Lu Xuan and said: "We ask ourselves that we have not persecuted the people, nor have we done anything harmful to nature, but we don't know why you want me this time. Waiting to endure such consequences?"

"The land has been divided. It's inappropriate for you to go and get it right after I leave. This will make it appear that Mr. Lu doesn't mean what he says!" Lu Xuan looked at Cui Yuandao: "But Mr. Cui's fate is really tough. He can survive twice." .”

Cui Yuan's face darkened and he said no more.

"I don't kill people, but they die because of me. Don't pretend to be innocent for me. I said, I only look at the results. Because it was you who caused them, this result is worthy of you." Lu Xuan stood up and said: "You can ask for more land. No matter how many people died, I will get it back from you. It's fair to trade lives for lives!" Are the lives of rural villagers and the lives of local wealthy families the same thing?

Everyone murmured in their hearts, this sounds a bit unreasonable, but the reality is like this, people's lives are worthless, especially these days, they are really worthless.

How to compare with them?

But now, no one dares to argue with Lu Xuan in this regard, the knife is in their hands.

"I'm a little tired, so I won't accompany the Commander-in-Chief. How to manage Shangyang County from now on is up to the Commander-in-Chief's orders." Cui Yuan stood up and said.

"That's your business. After this is done, I will leave. You can continue to be arrogant in the city. As long as you don't offend me, everyone will be safe." Lu Xuan shook his head.

"The commander-in-chief doesn't occupy the city?" Cui Yuan frowned and looked at Lu Xuandao.

"You like it so much, why are you embarrassed to snatch it from you? You can keep it." Lu Xuan said with a smile.

Cui Yuan thought for a while and understood instantly: "Indeed, if there is a city, it will be easier for the court to find the governor. It is not like now, where people come and go like the wind."

"Mr. Cui, I find that I like you a little bit." Lu Xuan looked at Cui Yuan and smiled: "Why don't you leave the Cui family and work with me, I like you!"

"Farewell!" Cui Yuan did not answer, but just cupped hands with Lu Xuan, then turned and left.

Others also got up and left one after another. As for Jia Youdao, who was slumped on the ground, no one paid attention.

Although he is still alive, everyone including Jia Youdao knows that he is a living dead person at this moment.

Why should we care about the dead?

In the blink of an eye, only Lu Xuan, others and Jia Youdao were left in the lobby, which was much empty.

"County Magistrate Jia, it's time for you to return to Jiang Shu." Lu Xuan looked at Jia Youdao and seemed to remember something: "By the way, there is something else. Please help me give it to our Governor Jiang."

He waved and San Dao placed a box in front of Jia Youdao.

Jia Youdao hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to open it. He was bound to die anyway. Let's see what happened?
The box opened, and a human head stared at him, startling him.

But when he saw the head clearly, Jia Youdao was startled again and looked at Lu Xuan in shock.

The head in the box turned out to be Lu Yu, who was sent by Jiang Shu to hunt down the thief!
"The Jiang family is really powerful. They are sixth-grade martial artists. As far as I know, there are only a thousand people in the whole Daqian. They were sent to be the Grand Guardian. If Zhou Ji had such a guard around him, Lu would have died long ago!" Lu Xuan sighed.

There are people in the court who are different. Not only are the county magistrates who bring assistants are Confucian scholars, but even the guards are all sixth-grade warriors. Although I don't know how many there are, it is really unworthy of a sixth-grade warrior to serve as a guard for a prefect.

It's a pity that it's difficult to conquer this kind of family, so I killed him directly.

"The Commander-in-Chief..." Jia Youdao hesitated for a moment, looked at Lu Xuan and said, "I am willing to follow the Commander-in-Chief."

If he followed Lu Xuan, he would at least be able to survive, and if Lu Xuan was intentionally partial, he could even protect his family.

"You are quite shrewd, but you are just a little clever. You still don't understand that from the day you took over this job, you were already a doomed person." Lu Xuan patted his shoulder. Said: "What Jiang Shu wants now is fame. No matter who takes this kind of job that makes people angry, they will die. If it hadn't happened today, they would have been angered by the common people in the end."

Isn't this the method Sun Fang used to deal with Yang Ao?

It's just that Jia Youdao is like Yang Ao. He is in the middle of the game. He is blinded by interests and cannot see the power. Moreover, there are also problems with people. Jiang Shu just asked you to collect the land, but you also came up with some new tricks. It's not just taking the opportunity to make money, but going to slaughter villages one by one, hoping to please these people.

Call him stupid, he can do all kinds of things when he torments people, call him smart, he is happy to take the blame for others.

The Taoist priest is right, people, don’t be greedy!
When Jia Youdao heard this, his expression changed slightly and he looked at Lu Xuan in disbelief.

"I don't even think about it. Even if they don't use the Confucian scholars they brought, the county magistrate can just use them as gifts. Why should they be given to you?" Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "Go back. Lu is kind-hearted and wants you to be a sensible person." , if you don’t go back now, look at what Governor Jiang will do to your family! Don’t forget, you seem to have offended a lot of people here today.”

Of course, it's useless not to go back. Now in Shangyang County, Jiang Shu has the final say in the city. Outside the city is his Lu Xuan's world. There is no way for you to survive on either side. Where can you run?
Jia Youdao hugged Lu Xuan's gift to Jiang Shu in despair and left. He was beautiful when he came, but miserable when he left. If he had known this, how could he steal the limelight when the imperial army came that day?
"Let's retreat too!" Lu Xuan looked at Ergou and Sandao beside him and smiled: "Lao Yang and Yang Ao should be done with it, go home!"

"it is good!"
