Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

One male and one female.

The man is handsome and the woman is pretty, the former is wearing green clothes and the latter is wearing red clothes.

The atmosphere of Jianghu is very strong.

"You are?"

Lu Chen asked directly.

"Grassman Ye Fan."

"Chinese girl Chai Hongyu."

"I've seen adults!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen quickly remembered that he had heard these two names from Fang Yu before.

They were the two martyrs who rescued the remaining villagers in Gouer Village.

"Oh, it's you."

Lu Chen nodded towards the two of them.

"Sir, remember to wait for me?"

The two were a little flattered.

"Well, Fang Yu told me."

Lu Chen smiled slightly, and then said to the two of them, "Have you received the reward?"

Seeing that Lu Chen was polite and polite, not at all self-conscious because of his status, looking down on their children, and not showing any strange look in his eyes because of her beauty, Chai Hongyu suddenly felt good about her, and said with emotion: "As expected of someone who truly cares about the people." The real man is indeed different from those dog officials...

The next second, she shook her head and said softly: "Master Fang left in a hurry, and he was rewarded with money and so on. I just took action because I couldn't stand King Yu's guards killing the people. I had no other intention and I didn't intend to accept the reward."

Hearing this, Lu Chen bowed his hands towards the two men and said, "Two strong men are highly righteous."

Chai Hongyu: "..."

She lowered her head subconsciously and looked at her figure.

Well, the upper part is quite strong, but... he can't be considered a strong man after all, right?

Lu Chen added: "Those two are here for..."

Ye Fan took out a bottle of ointment from his arms, "As the saying goes, save people and save them to the end. I saw that Brother Li was seriously injured, so I came over to give him medicine to heal his injuries, so as not to damage his bones and cause future troubles."

Li Wei on the side also spoke out to prove it at the right time.

"oh, I see."

Lu Chen nodded slightly.

"The two strong men are determined."

As he said that, he looked at Li Wei and saw that his complexion was rosy and his health was probably fine. He then said to Li Wei: "In this case, I can rest assured. You can take good care of your injuries. I still have some official duties to deal with." , I won’t stay any longer.”

"Your business is more important."

Li Wei stood up again and wanted to see Lu Chen off.

Lu Chen waved his hand, then bowed his hand politely towards Chai Hongyu and Ye Fan, and said, "Thank you two for your generous actions, which saved more than two hundred villagers in Gou'er Village and saved some face for the court."

"Your Excellency is welcome."

"Abolition of violence and peace of mind are the duties of practitioners of our generation."

Chai Hongyu and Ye Fan responded with a few words of courtesy.

Not long after, Lu Chen left the farmhouse of Li Wei's family, mounted his royal horse, and galloped towards Yuzhou City under the escort of Fu Huan.

And just as he was galloping, Chai Hongyu suddenly walked out of the door, and then quietly looked at Lu Chen's back as he walked away.

Recalling the scene where the people in Gou'er Village loved Lu Chen from the bottom of their hearts, a look of determination gradually appeared on her little face.

Chapter 107 The Wind of Benevolence and Righteousness

"What? King Yu is dead?"

In a village in Yuzhou.

A simple village man stared at the coachman who had just returned from the county with his eyes wide open, and asked with shock on his face: "Is this true?"

"of course it's true!"

The coachman looked quite excited and said: "Now the news has spread all over the county! The newly appointed governor of the two states, Mr. Lu Chenlu, in order to seek justice for the villagers of Gou'er Village and Qu'er Village who died tragically for no reason some time ago, actually He directly led his bodyguards to attack Prince Yu’s Mansion, and in the end, he directly captured Prince Yu’s Mansion and chopped off Prince Yu’s head with his own hands!”

After a pause, he continued: "I heard that Mr. Lu had killed Queen Yu, so he took his head to Qu'er Village to commemorate all the villagers who were killed by King Yu."

As soon as he finished speaking, a villager who was also a coachman on the side couldn't help but add: "Not only that, I heard that Mr. Lu also erected a large stone tombstone two feet high and three feet wide for all the villagers who were killed. It is said that ...What did that person say? Oh! By the way..."

He thought about it carefully, and then said slowly: "It is said that Mr. Lu is trying to warn those who come after him, not to do evil and oppress the people by relying on their power like King Yu, otherwise King Yu will be their role model!"

"hiss!"

The simple man took a sharp breath.

"Stone tablet! Mr. Lu has actually done this for the people of Gou'er Village and Qu'er Village!"

Stone tablets are not something you can just use if you want to.

Generally, it is only used when commemorating major events, and its specifications must be determined according to the size of the event. For example, a two-foot-tall stone tablet is already of medium-to-high specifications. Logically speaking, it is impossible to use it on ordinary people.

Even if all the villagers in Gou'er Village and Qu'er Village were killed by King Yu, according to past practice, it would be good if someone set up a small wooden sign for them, a stone tablet?Can't even think about it.

But that’s what Lu Chen did!

The sum of these things is enough to prove that Lu Chen is a good official who really takes ordinary people like them into his heart!

The coachman was still talking about the rumors about Lu Chen.

How to open warehouses and release grain with the Human Emperor Sword, how to punish corrupt officials, and save the people buried by flash floods, how to resist the public opinion and not let the government collect labor, but to let Yuzhou and Suizhou guards control the floods...

One after another, the villagers who gathered around were dumbfounded.

In ancient times, there was little information, and people would be extremely curious about anything new, let alone these bombshell news that have been spreading everywhere for some reason recently.

Ordinary people like the coachman naturally wouldn't think about it. The news about Mao would suddenly spread all over the world. Even Lu Chen's person and background, and even what happened in the temple were spread. He just enjoyed this kind of news that everyone was looking up to. The feeling of waiting expectantly for him to say more.

"Master Lu..."

Listening to the coachman's story, the simple man at the beginning said softly with a complex expression: "He is a truly good official..."

The others fell silent for no reason.

Naturally, they also felt that Lu Chen was a rare good official.

But what about it?

Although King Yu died, Yuzhou was relieved of a lot of harm, and the lives of its people might be a lot easier, but if he committed the next crime and killed the royal family, how could he end up with a better outcome?

Even if he is a high official.

No matter how great the official is, can he be greater than the prince?Is it bigger than His Majesty?

What's more, this prince is the brother of the late emperor and the uncle of the current emperor.

For committing such a heinous crime, even if Mr. Lu is extremely capable, he may not be able to escape death...

When they thought of this, everyone's hearts felt heavy.

"I'm going back."

A farmer who had just left his house turned around and walked back home.

His voice was inexplicably hoarse.

As soon as he started, others also left one after another, but their steps were not as agile as when they came. They looked as heavy as lead, and their faces were full of heaviness.

In his mind, he recalled that since Lu Chen took over Yuzhou, he would bring a lot of food from time to time to understand the people's sentiments and condolences on the people's livelihood. Even if he would not come in person, he would send those cold-faced and warm-hearted guards to come over to express condolences. , I really keep them in my heart.

All the people couldn't help but feel a little sad, and their eyes were red.

Alas, it would be great if Mr. Lu could escape this disaster and continue to be a high official in Yuzhou...

This idea has emerged in many people's minds.

And this scene is also happening in hundreds of villages in Yuzhou at this time.

Many villagers even set up immortality tablets for Lu Chen as soon as they returned home.

Even if it was for nothing else, just because Lu Chen had eliminated the great harm of King Yu for Yuzhou, it was worth their while.

at the same time.

Tianmen River Dam.

In a large tent.

"Miss."

A middle-aged man in black attire half-knelt on the ground, respectfully raised his hands to Xiao Yun, who was sitting on the main seat and looking through official documents, and said: "Luckily, we have lived up to our mission. Nowadays, Lu Chen's deeds are being spread all over the country. , all public opinion is tilted in his favor, and the attempts by local aristocratic families and other forces to smear him have been completely covered, and they cannot make any waves."

Hearing this, Xiao Yun raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, and then nodded lightly.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

"The eldest lady has broken the villain."

After saying that, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and asked rather tangledly: "Forgive me for talking too much, but why did the eldest lady deliberately use so many family resources to do this for that young man?"

After a pause, he added: "I heard... Although the head of the family didn't say much about this, the clan elders criticized it and thought that the young lady bet too early..."

Hearing this, Xiao Yun narrowed her eyes inexplicably, with a meaningful smile in her eyes.

"It's not like you can know this kind of thing, Li Da..."

Snapped!

Li Da suddenly kowtowed to the ground.

"Miss, please forgive me, little one..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yun waved her hand, as if she was too lazy to talk nonsense to him.

"Okay, I know your difficulty."
