Lu's relatives

Chapter 201 The inside story is chaotic, cunning and earnest
It is almost universally true that absolute power corrupts absolutely.

In terms of government affairs, Lu Bu, as the head of Qingzhou, has always been suspicious of people and employing people, just like most of the former Beihai officials who are in charge of government affairs in six counties and three places, although Lu Bu has always understood that the loyalty of these people to him is questionable , but still gave enough trust. In the current state, as long as the place can be stabilized, it is asking money for money and food for food. It has always been very generous.

Maybe it was because of Lu Bu's reputation, or because they really wanted to serve as officials to benefit one side, these Beihai officials who were originally under Kong Rong.Under the supervision of Zang Hong, the de facto head of government affairs in Qingzhou, it can be regarded as conscientious. With sufficient food support, the preliminary work of Qingzhou's disaster relief is also done impressively.But who would have thought that it is already May, and the shallow wells of the rivers in Qingzhou have begun to dry up and dry up. At this time when the people's hearts are most unstable, it is revealed that the grain and grass in the Beihai and the plains have been resold by the so-called grain officials. news.

In fact, Lu Bu couldn't help but be angry.Food officer?Food officer!Putting all the blame on the two grain officials who have disappeared, is it true that Lu Bu is stupid and doesn't understand anything?Besides, the general Zhang Liao, who has always been valued by Lu Bu, led the Xiaoqi Battalion in the plain to guard against Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan's coveting Qingzhou. It was a resounding slap on the face of Lu Bu, who slapped the extremely face-saving Lu Bu severely. This alone made Lu Bu unbearable.But Pingyuan has been ruled by Liu Bei for many years. That big-eared Liu is a master of manipulating people's hearts. The plains that were actually controlled and returned to Qingzhou were already very passive, but now that something like this happened, it was obvious that someone was manipulating it secretly, and the picture was not small, so we had to be cautious in handling it, lest the people compare it privately Now, if one is not handled properly, it will arouse the change of mind of the people who are already panicked because of the imminent disaster.

But if it is said that Zhang Liaoxiao's cavalry camp is on his side before someone with a heart takes the opportunity to make trouble secretly, there is still hope to use thunderous means to cut through the chaos quickly and kill a group of officials who have found out that the evidence is related to this matter. No matter how violent the class changes, for the people in the plains, as long as they can save their lives through the famine, it is not a big deal to replace them all. As long as they can ensure the timely arrival of food and grass, it will be easy to solve. Like a hot potato, if it is not handled properly, the foundation of Qingzhou will be shaken easily.

Qingzhou is not short of food, but lacks officials!
Because Lv Bujun moved away part of Dong Zhuo's military assets in Meiwu, and robbed part of the military rations in Yecheng, after arriving in Linzi, because of Qin Xu's methods, he cheated a lot one after another. It can be said that among the princes in the late Han Dynasty, Lu Bu said that his own grain storage was second, and no one dared to say that he was the first.Therefore, no matter how many times he sent troops to pacify Qingzhou, deter neighbors, support Xuzhou, etc., Lu Bu was able to fight back and forth without any worries. It was after learning that there were frequent severe droughts that they were able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

Qingzhou was originally a land of talents.However, the scholars in Qingzhou are because of Lu Bu's previous reputation, few people are willing to attach themselves to them, and now they are getting better under the unremitting efforts of Qin Xu and others, except for the remaining officials who were originally in short supply due to the Yellow Turban disaster in the whole state, and Outside of a small number of small families who had to "commit" to join because of Lu Bu's reputation, it was still difficult to cope with the huge vacancy of government officials, forcing Qin Xu to come up with the idea of ​​reopening Jixia Academy.But before the officials who were loyal to Lu Bu's forces were formed, all hopes had to be pinned on these officials who were accustomed to adapting to the wind. After Kong Rong offered Beihai, the redundant officials were distributed to various places. Only then was it relieved.To put it bluntly, although Lu Bu is the main force in Qingzhou now, the people who actually control the life and death of Qingzhou are actually the group of officials who came from Beihai together.These people were originally officials of Beihai, and they were very "grouped" because of Lu Bu's "forced" Kong Rong to donate the city. Rong's confidant is always looking forward to it, if there is a slight mishandling of the investigation of the Beihai incident, and if someone induces it a little bit, it is no exaggeration to say that the whole Qingzhou will be chaotic within a few days.

No wonder Zang Hong was in a dilemma. He was running back and forth in sweat and wanted to ask Qin Xu, who had just returned, to help. The incidents in Pingyuan and Beihai seemed to be a case of possible official corruption before they were investigated. But as long as someone who knows a little bit of reason thinks about it, he can see that someone is deliberately adding chaos to Qingzhou and Lu Bu.It's like forcing Lu Bu, even if he doesn't like it, he has to grit his teeth and swallow this matter out of stability, and let those who want to hurt Qingzhou benefit but use the mouse.But the question is how could Lu Bu, who has always been arrogant, endure this kind of covert threat like a face-to-face humiliation?How should Lu Bu choose?This is no longer a matter of appropriating food or not.It has become a matter of life and death of innocent people in the two places in the coming disaster, compared with the face of the more innocent Wen Hou Lu Bu in front of the heroes of the world, which is more important.

"Master Qin, do you really have a way to make my lord put the overall situation first, and allocate food and grass first to calm the hearts of the people?" Until Qin Xu came to Lu Bu's mansion all the way with a lot of thoughts, Zang Hong was still thinking about Zang Hong, and he didn't know whether he believed it or not. Qin Xu has the ability to persuade Lu Bu, but he is still worried that Lu Bu will agree to this kind of seemingly embarrassing thing.

"Master Qin? Are you here to look for the lord?" The person on duty today is the dubo Sima Mao, who "thoughts day and night" about Qin Xu's extortion of Shi Alai.Seeing this one of the "culprits" who caused Qin to come to the end of the Han Dynasty, and accompanied Qin Xu to do those "big things", the dead cat Sima Mao who was called "a professional in dirty work" by Qin Xu with a smile .Qin Xu has some new views on the chaos in Qingzhou before him.

"Dead cat, you are a majestic dude in the camp. You can leave the guarding work to the people below. Why do you do it yourself? You see, Kong Er is a fool, and you have the same position as you. When it is not a war, But you are so carefree, I heard that you are going to get married recently, so you can't learn from others?" For the first person who was just a little Fenwu General's treasury owner at the time, this one is already a talented person. Qin Xu, who has always been unassuming, asked with a smile about the dead cats with their horns sticking out of the camp.

"Mr. Qin, don't make fun of us! Qingzhou is peaceful now, and there has been no war for a long time. If it weren't for the daily training and the work of the guards, we would have almost forgotten how to hold a knife." Don't look at Sima Maoping always He had a foolish and evil appearance, but his eyesight was one-on-one. When Qin Xu came, he saw Qin Xu's distraught look from a distance, and saw that Qin Xu didn't seem to be in a hurry because he hadn't seen him for a long time. The words were unfamiliar, Sima Mao licked his lips, put on a flattering smile, and said: "Master Qin, at any rate, we once stole the Lord's wine together, and we were born and died together many times. If there is any good work, Also please Master Qin, you must remember our old brothers."

"You dead cat, do you seem to have a lot of news? Tell me, where did you get any news?" Qin Xu was amused by Sima's appearance, and this difficult problem in Qingzhou cannot be solved in a day or two. Seeing that it was not time for dinner, he was not in a hurry to see Lu Bu, so he asked Sima Maodao with a smile.

"Master Qin, don't lie to me. Since you went to Chenliu, the lord has lost his temper many times for some reason. At first we thought it was about the eldest lady, but the eldest lady has returned. The lord is still the same. Same as before. I just saw Master Qin and you looked very preoccupied, everyone knows something is wrong!" Sima Mao subconsciously looked at Qin Xu's expression, and said cautiously, as if explaining : "It's not that I'm guessing what the lord and Qin lord are thinking about you, it's mainly because of this..."

"Okay, okay, I know!" Seeing that although Sima Mao's words were presumptuous, he still had a heart of awe towards Lu Bu. This may be a phenomenon shared by Lu Bu's pro-army like being trapped in the camp for many years. Qin Xu Smiling indifferently, he interrupted Sima Mao's superfluous explanation, and said in a low voice to Sima Mao who was laughing at himself, "Your hand is itchy? Then scratch it!"

"What?" Seeing that Sima Mao, who didn't understand what he was saying, was thinking about it and couldn't figure it out, Qin Xu finally felt better. After seeing the sun, it was almost the same, and he didn't need anyone to inform him, so he strode towards Go back.

"Zhongming is here? You just came back from Chenliu, why don't you take a rest?" Seeing Qin Xu's busy face, Yan Shi, who is the master of the back room, greeted Qin Xu with a doting smile and said: "Ling Son, hurry up and add a pair of bowls and chopsticks for Zhong Ming! This girl, like his father, has no eyesight at all!"

"Hmm!" Lu Bu, who was obviously stimulated by Yan's mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law with joy and the undisguised joy of her precious daughter, couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, and didn't even look at Qin Xu glanced at him, and said to himself: "It's obvious that this kid must have come here on a meal schedule. It's only been a long time since he moved out, and it's like reuniting after a long time. You two spoil him like this!"

"My lord is joking! Xu is terrified!" Qin Xu pretended to be embarrassed, but said while looking at Yan who was full of smiles.To be honest, no matter what Lu Bu is said to be like outside, but in his own home, he looks like a good husband and a good father. Everyone eats together according to the table.This is also the reason why Qin Xu, who has the habits of his previous life, is determined to change the fate of Lu Bujun.

"Don't worry about Feng Xian, Zhong Ming, this person is used to disturbing people's appetite, so sit next to me, next to Ling'er, and eat together!" Diao Chan didn't know if it was because there was a curious person in the dining room. Seeing the reason for Qin Xu's presence, the Cao family, knowing that Lu Bu was pretending to be dissatisfied, also showed an alluring smile, secretly gave Lu Bu a white look, exchanged a wink with Yan, and greeted Qin Xu warmly.

"Thank you two ladies! Uh, thank you, my lord!" Qin Xu took the food plate from Lu Lingqi, took the opportunity to scratch the girl's little hand, sneaked a guilty glance at the helpless Lu Bu, and thanked him.

"Hmph, with your wicked guest here, it's not safe to eat. Tell me, why did Master Qin come to a certain house for dinner in person?" Seeing Qin Xu next to his precious daughter, the two exchanged glances. It looks like, where is the mind on the case?Lu Bu felt aggrieved for no reason, and didn't look at the three wives who were holding back their laughter or their astonishment, so he slapped Shi Du heavily on the table angrily, and snorted coldly.

"I really miss Madam's craftsmanship. Since I moved out of the mansion, I feel so tasteless if I don't eat for a day." Qin Xu took the time to let go of Lu Lingqi's little hand that was held under the table, and picked up the cup in front of him that was filled with Lu Lingqi's thoughtfulness. He took a sip of the wine, and said before Lu Bu's face turned dark.

"As long as Zhongming likes to eat! Although you have moved out, is it possible that you are an outsider? If you want to eat, just come to the house directly, and besides, Linger is also following me closely these days!" The back kitchen in the mansion is in vain except for the meals of the servants who are in charge of the family. The meals of Lu Bu's family have always been prepared by Yan Shi himself. He didn't talk about business, he wanted to have murderous eyes, and he said again and again with a smile on his face.

"Thank you Madam for your kindness!" Qin Xu stood up and bowed to the real old mother-in-law, and said solemnly: "Xu Ben's cloth clothes have nothing in themselves. Mrs. Meng and the lord have raised them in the mansion. They have a long-term heart of repayment. Now they happen to have some accidents on hand." If you want to take the money and send it to the two wives to buy some ingredients and pay rice, I ask the two wives to accept it with a smile."
