My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

Chapter 186 It’s hard to make money~

Yuyang is the county seat of Qingmen County.

As the governor of Qingmen, Zhang Kangnian has been a little anxious these days.

The bodyguards of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency were robbed. Although this agency only appeared recently, the background of the agency is not ordinary. Although he is not an eunuch, Zhang Kangnian does not want to offend an eunuch now. After all, the emperor is standing behind him.

Although banditry is serious in Qingmen County now, anyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on. Now that someone's bodyguard has been robbed, how can he let it go?

"Brother Kangnian, it's rare to be confused about some things. This matter has nothing to do with you, so why should you be nervous." In the prefect's house, Zheng Hua looked at Zhang Kangnian and said with a smile.

"Now that the Taixuan incident has just ended, if Your Majesty takes this matter to attack here, it would be a small thing to take back my military power. If I am accused of poor governance because of this matter, how can I escape?" Zhang Kangnian said helplessly. He was not like me. The Zheng family relies on the big family, otherwise there would be no need to devote themselves to the Jiang family.

Now that something like this happened and the eunuch was offended, even Jiang Song might not be able to protect himself.

"You are just too careful. There are bandits everywhere in Yunzhou. Shangyang County doesn't even have a prefect so far. How can you blame him?" Zheng Hua stood up, put down the tea cup in his hand and said: "Tea good."

"Brother Zheng!"

"Don't worry, as long as you and I join forces in Qingmen County, even if others come, they won't be able to change the world. Mr. Zhang can drink wine and collect money. Are you still worried about the Zheng family running away?" Zheng Hua finished speaking and took the photo. He patted Zhang Kangnian on the shoulder and said, "Goodbye."

Looking at Zheng Hua's leaving figure, Zhang Kangnian patted his shoulder.

It's quite easy to say that your Zheng family has a great business, and the court may not do anything to you, but I am a lonely soul in the officialdom, who will take care of me?

"Sir, someone sent me a box of gifts and I want to pay you a visit." The butler came in and waved his hand to Zhang Kangnian.

"No!" Zhang Kangnian said impatiently: "Return the things."

"Yes." The housekeeper nodded and came to the courtyard to ask someone to carry the box out.

"Wait!" Zhang Kangnian, who had just gone out, looked at the big box being carried by everyone.

"What other instructions do you have, sir?" the steward asked puzzledly.

"Is this the box you were talking about just now?" Zhang Kangnian walked up to the box and frowned.

"Exactly." The butler nodded.

Zhang Kangnian waved his hand and asked everyone to disperse. He walked slowly to the box, knocked it, and kicked it twice. He heard the sound of metal colliding inside. This was obviously not the collision of copper coins, but lumps.

"You happen to be free, please invite people in." Zhang Kangnian said to the housekeeper: "Carry the box to my room."

"Yes." The butler understood and signaled the servants to carry the box away, while he went to the door to invite people.

I don't know what it is, so much money, I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter, tut... It's getting harder and harder to make money these days. Zhang Kangnian returned to the main hall and sighed in his heart.

After a while, the housekeeper came in with a young man, saluted Zhang Kangnian and said, "Sir, it is this young man who is asking to see you."

"I've met you, sir." The young man smiled and saluted.

"You go down first." Zhang Kangnian waved his hand and signaled the housekeeper to leave. Then he smiled and looked at the handsome young man in front of him. He was quite imposing. Not only did he not show any timidity in front of him, but he also made himself feel intimidated. .

"What do you call the young master?" Zhang Kangnian picked up the tea cup and asked casually.

"Shangyang County, Lu Xuan." The visitor smiled.

"Pfft~"

The tea he just drank was spat out. Zhang Kangnian's expression changed and he subconsciously took two steps back. At the same time, a large amount of green energy gathered into an official seal and pressed it towards Lu Xuan.

"If I want to hurt you, I won't let you do it." Lu Xuan let the official seal of green energy pass through his body and looked at the pale Zhang Kangnian.

"Sir, sit down and talk." Lu Xuan picked up the tea cup in front of him and found that someone else had drunk it. He frowned and put the tea cup down again.

"Master Lu is not staying in Shangyang County. Come to me... What are you doing here?" Zhang Kangnian did not sit down. He looked at Lu Xuan warily. He secretly mobilized the green energy of the city protector to drive Lu Xuan out, but found that the protector Cheng Qing Qi had no effect on Lu Xuan at all.

"The escort from Zhenyuan Escort Bureau has something happened here. I'll come and take a look." Lu Xuan said with a smile.

"This is none of my business. Really, I just found out about it." Zhang Kangnian said quickly.

Lu Xuan nodded: "I believe that the expression on your face is because you have heard some things about me. You should know that I... am not very good at investigating cases."

Zhang Kangnian knelt on the ground with a bang: "Master, I didn't know that the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau had anything to do with you, and this matter really has nothing to do with me. It's the Zheng family. I persuaded them, but they didn't listen."

A person's name is like a tree's shadow. Lu Xuan never talks about evidence when he kills people. The wealthy families and officials in Shangyang County have already used their most precious family members and their own lives to make a conclusion. For this devil-like figure , Zhang Kangnian really doesn’t want to provoke him.

Moreover, he only knew that Zhenyuan Escort Agency had a eunuch background, but he did not expect that Lu Xuan also had a background. Thinking about it, without Lu Xuan nodding, how could this thing be opened in Shangyang County?

Thinking more deeply, could this be some kind of tacit understanding between Lu Xuan and the court?

As soon as this thought occurred, Zhang Kangnian did not dare to continue thinking about it. This was not something that a young eunuch like himself, whose real power was limited, could know.

"Don't worry, if I had the intention to kill you, I wouldn't give you any money." Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "Sir, please speak up. I am a lowly citizen, and I cannot accept such a great gift from you."

"You can bear it, you can bear it~" Zhang Kangnian stood up and said with a smile: "I wonder what the leader wants to do with his subordinates?"

"Someone has to take responsibility for this matter." Lu Xuan said with a smile.

"This... leader, I can be a peacemaker and ask the Zheng family to send back the stolen things. Isn't it better to resolve this enemy than to end it?" Zhang Kangnian said with a smile.

"If you rob something, you'll be fine if you return it. My lord, you should have solved the case before. What kind of crime should I be convicted of for robbing the court's supplies?" Lu Xuan shook his head and asked.

"This..." Zhang Kangnian hesitated, looked at Lu Xuan and said, "It's different."

"So, sir, you must protect them?" Lu Xuan looked at Zhang Kangnian with a smile.

"That's not the case, it's just that it's a bit difficult to be a low-ranking official~" Zhang Kangnian did not dare to confront Lu Xuan. If Lu Xuan slaughtered the Zheng family in front of him, he would inevitably be implicated.

"If there happens to be something happening that day, you must go out of the city to handle it, just like when the bodyguards of the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau were robbed. People from the government happened to interrogate them, and those rebels happened to have made corresponding arrangements for the manpower of the Escort Bureau. Don't you think this matter has nothing to do with adults?" Lu Xuan looked at Zhang Kangnian and smiled.

"That's right." Zhang Kangnian sighed in his heart, Brother Zheng, the money you gave is only enough. Don't say brother, I won't help you. Seeing that Lu Xuan had no intention of leaving, Zhang Kangnian smiled and said: "Of course, this matter You don’t need money from the leader, it’s a small matter.”

As he spoke, he waved his hand and mobilized the green energy to protect the city and placed the box sent by Lu Xuan in the hall.

The green energy that protects the city can be used, so why is it useless to him?

Zhang Kangnian couldn't understand.

"There is no reason to take back the things I gave away, and the money is not for this." Lu Xuan stood up and stepped forward, opening the box. The white ingots of silver instantly blinded people's eyes.

"Someone will take over the Zheng family's property and fields in the future. They must have official certification. After all, the name is not justified. In addition, in the past two years, the Guanyi Church has come here to preach. I also hope that you can open the door to facilitate it." So simple."

"This..." Zhang Kangnian looked at the box of silver and hesitated.

"Thousands of miles to serve as an official just for wealth, Mr. Zhang, do you know what I appreciate most about you?" Lu Xuan looked at Zhang Kangnian and said with a smile.

"I don't know, I don't know." Zhang Kangnian shook his head.

"You are a very principled person. As long as you receive money, you will do things. We, ordinary people, are not afraid of adults being corrupt. We are afraid that adults will not only be corrupt but also fail to do things. Don't worry, adults. I don't want to kill officials now. As for the court, I It's not easy to explain, so I'll use your official methods to solve it." Lu Xuan patted him on the shoulder.

Can't kill officials?

Zhang Kangnian's eyes lit up: "Leader, it's not because I am unwilling, but it's just this kind of thing..."

"Where is this money? There is such a box every year..." Lu Xuan turned to look at Zhang Kangnian: "What did your Excellency just say?"

"Xiaoguan is saying, why bother the leader of the church to go there personally for this kind of thing? Just say it, and the official will take care of it." Zhang Kangnian was startled for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face again.

After Lu Xuan looked at Zhang Kangnian for a long time, he smiled and said: "My lord is really a wonderful man, so I'll leave this matter to you."

"Of course, I will help the leader sort out the land deeds and various properties of the Zheng family. In addition, there will be civil unrest in Zhangshou County tomorrow. I have to go to appease the people in person, and may have to leave for half a month." Zhang Kangnian said quickly.

"Understood, I just have to make some arrangements. It's best for you to take the official seal with you." Lu Xuan nodded and said goodbye: "I won't disturb your rest."

"Hey, leader, go slowly, I will see you off." Zhang Kangnian bowed.

"No need, it's not good for people to see you!" Lu Xuan said with a smile: "It's inappropriate. I hope that next time we meet, you and I can talk happily like we did today."

After saying that, Lu Xuan strode away.

I can't be happy at all!

Seeing Lu Xuan's leaving figure, Zhang Kangnian breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at the silver in the box, and sighed: "Zheng family, you are unlucky, why did you bother to provoke this evil star?"

"Sir." The housekeeper came in and looked at the box on the ground in astonishment.

"Go and make arrangements. There will be a civil uprising in Zhangshou County tomorrow. I am going to appease the people. I will be there for about half a month. During my absence, the county magistrate will act as county administrator." Zhang Kangnian waved his hand, indicating that he would not be too busy. ask.

"Tomorrow?" The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Yes, I will make arrangements now."

Not to arrange travel, but to arrange news about the civil uprising in Zhangshou County.

"It's hard to make money~" Zhang Kangnian groped for the box and sighed with emotion. For this little money, he had to lose another close friend...
