This time, Governor Song was even more worried. Was he telling the truth or was he just panicking?
After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Governor Song took a gamble - he thought that Lu Jingyuan had just woken up and must not have investigated the situation in the city.

He immediately lied: "If I tell General Lu, everything in the city is fine, prices are stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. As long as General Lu can get rid of Beipan, who is eyeing him, the quality of life of the people in the city will be improved again." Stairs.”

【Daddy! 】

[Don’t let this villain deceive you! He clearly has evil intentions and wants to blame you! 】

[Many people in the northern border are infected with febrile diseases, and prices are getting higher and higher day by day. How can he still say such things! 】

Lu Jingyuan was a little confused because he didn't understand what Lu Youyou meant by dumping the blame, but it didn't sound like a good word, so he didn't care.

He immediately slapped the table with a cold face: "Live and work in peace and contentment? Governor Song, this general intends to give you a chance, but you still refuse to tell the truth, right?"

"I..." Governor Song was speechless, and there was a little sweat on his forehead.

Lu Jingyuan's voice rose again: "You can't tell, can you? Then I, the general, came to ask you, why are most of the people in the city infected with febrile diseases? As a parent official in the north, you don't care about the people, so why are you still here? What’s the point of lying to me here?”

As soon as these words came out, Governor Song's entire back was soaked with cold sweat. He never expected that they would actually investigate.

But after all, he has been in the officialdom for many years, and he still has the ability to act stupid.

He immediately pretended to have just learned about this, his eyes widened.

"General Lu, I am willing to vouch for my personal character. I have indeed just learned about this matter from you," he said righteously, and then seemed to suddenly remember something, and shouted viciously: "It must be the case. The people under the government deliberately kept it a secret, they are really a bunch of corpses!"

[He used his personality as a guarantee? 】

[If I hadn’t seen the true face of Governor Song beforehand, I would have believed this. 】

[And the angry look just now didn't look like an act. If Governor Song stops being an official in the future, he will definitely become famous as an actor! 】

Governor Song over there was still performing hard, unaware that Lu Jingyuan and Lu Youyou over there had noticed that he was pretending.

"Master Pang, come to the front quickly!" He shouted loudly.

Master Pang was confused when he came up and had no idea what was going on.

"Master Pang, let me ask you, so many people in the city are suffering from febrile diseases, why didn't you tell me about this?" As Governor Song spoke, he winked at Master Pang, hoping that he would cooperate with him and get Lu Jing first. Far from being fooled.

It's just that Master Pang was smart and confused for a while. He always cooperated with Governor Song tacitly, but at this most important moment, he fell out of control.

Instead of seeing the wink from Governor Song, he actually said in confusion: "Sir, I reported this to you a few days ago. It was the Sheriff who said you wouldn't let me take care of it."

Governor Song secretly cursed: Idiot!

But on the surface, he is still looking for something to make up for.

Lu Jingyuan behind him had already darkened his face and said coldly: "Song Governor, do you still want to deny it now? Is this what you do for the people?"

"General Lu, I really didn't know about this matter." Governor Song bit him to death because he didn't know about it.

Lu Jingyuan saw that he was really frightened, but his expression suddenly changed and softened: "The people below deliberately hid it from Governor Song. Of course you can't know about it, but the people are indeed living in dire straits right now. , I have also suffered greatly from it, and I have asked people to prepare medicine. As long as the county guard can distribute these medicines to the people, I will naturally put in a good word in front of the emperor." "I really know. ..." Sheriff Song was still in a panic and didn't react to Lu Jingyuan's words for a moment.

After saying half a sentence, he finally reacted.

He was neither in embarrassment nor acknowledging his mistake. He confirmed again: "Is what the general said true?"

"Of course." Lu Jingyuan nodded.

Lu Youyou was a little stunned.
[Is this just a slap in the face and a sweet date? 】

[Dad, you are so skillful in using it. Governor Song will definitely be grateful to you now. 】

Her eyebrows were filled with pride.

Lu Xuanhe on the side blinked his eyes, pulled Lu Youyou's sleeves, and lowered his voice: "Sister, was it you who spoke just now?"

"I didn't." Lu Youyou also followed her example and lowered his voice.

She still hadn't realized that Lu Xuanhe had heard her thoughts.

Lu Xuanhe did not doubt that he was there, but he muttered: "What's going on? That voice is obviously my sister's voice. Did I hear it wrong?"

She was a child after all, and her attention was quickly diverted by the words of adults.

"General Lu's actions are clearly benevolent and righteous. If these medicines are really effective, I must build a memorial arch for General Lu." Governor Song's words were clearly not sincere.

Lu Jingyuan waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be so polite, Governor Song. I am a military general and I don't care about these posthumous names. Naturally, these merits will still fall on the Sheriff. When your Majesty asks you in the future, Commander Song can be justified." , maybe I can even be promoted to a higher rank, leave this desolate land, and go to the feet of the emperor."

"Then it will be time to make great achievements."

Governor Song has been in the northern border for more than ten years, and he can be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand. Even if he is not promoted to a higher rank in the future, his life in the northern border will not be bad.

But he was ambitious and wanted to return to the capital to become prime minister.

These words naturally made him very excited.

However, for the sake of his future, he had surrendered to Sheng Jingxuan a few days ago. If he surrendered to Lu Jingyuan now, wouldn't he become a shameless villain?
He was inevitably entangled in his heart.

[Dad, Governor Song may have taken refuge with the Seventh Prince. 】

[That’s why I didn’t answer you right away. 】

After Lu Youyou reminded Lu Jingyuan in his heart, Lu Xuanhe tugged at Lu Youyou's sleeve again: "Sister, have you spoken, General?"

"Xuanhe, sister didn't say anything, why did you..."

Lu Youyou wanted to say why did you hear it again, but she immediately felt something was wrong. After all, if she asked once before, it could be treated as a coincidence, but if it happened again, she would not be able to rely on it no matter what.

Can Xuanhe hear my voice?
Even though Lu Youyou was shocked, she didn't stop thinking. As the saying goes, repeat again and again, wouldn't it be good to confirm again?
