"Greetings to the Grand Administrator!" Zhou Mu said respectfully.
Lu Fan got off his horse and without even looking at Zhou Mu, he came straight to Liu Ke and cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to my lord, my subordinates are not protecting me well, please punish me!"
At this moment, Zhou Mu was frightened and speechless.
What else can Lu Fan call the "protagonist", in addition to the high Dongyanghou, who else?
"Your fault is not that you are not a good guard, but that you don't know how to hire people. When you become a prefect, don't you need to take care of the people below?" Liu Kedao.
"My subordinates will conduct a thorough investigation!" Lu Fan said sonorously and forcefully.
Zhou Mu rolled his eyes and fainted.
Sure enough, Lu Fan found a large amount of money of unknown origin in Zhou's house and involved a smuggling chain.
Some businessmen were blackmailed and did not report it because the goods were not clean.
Over the years, they have been delivering supplies to Jingzhou.
Lu Fan beheaded Zhou Mu and his son in public, and the houses of all the merchants involved were ransacked.
Lujiang County received three million gold as a result. Lu Fan did not have the guts to use the money and handed it over directly to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Of course there is no need for Liu Ke to deal with the following matters. He has not forgotten the main task this time.
When Xiao Qiao returned to the family, no one stopped her, and she didn¡¯t even dare to breathe.
Liu Ke accompanied the two girls to pay homage to their parents, and the matter came to an end.
"Thank you, husband. If my husband hadn't accompanied us back to the family this time, I don't know what kind of trouble we would have suffered." Da Qiao said.
"You actually said thank you, let's see how I deal with you at night!" Liu Kedao.
Da Qiao smiled sweetly and did not reply. Xiao Qiao's face turned red again.
In fact, Liu Ke was also quite emotional. He just went out for a trip, why did he encounter this kind of thing?
Under his governance, Yangzhou is on the right track, but dirty things still happen in places where supervision is not available.
"Husband, don't be sad, Yangzhou will be better." Da Qiao comforted him.
"Don't think too much, how could I be sad? I'm just trying to find ways to minimize the occurrence of such things." Liu Kedao.
"My husband is a man who stands upright, so what does this difficulty mean?" Da Qiao said.
"You're the only one who talks sweetly!" Liu laughed and said.
"Husband, you only care about praising your sister!" Xiao Qiao said jealously.
"Xiao Qiao is also very cute!" Liu Ke quickly added.
??Xiao Qiao beamed.
At present, the Qiao family has become mute, and even the flatterers have not been sent out, for fear of angering Liu Ke again.
Liu Ke is also happy to be free and does not have to say polite words everywhere.
The next time, Liu Ke inspected Lujiang County. The geographical location of Lujiang County is very important. Sun Ce can invade Lujiang County by coming down from the Jingzhou waters.
Since Jingzhou is upstream, it is difficult to prevent it.
In terms of military affairs, Lu Fan did not slack off and was heavily guarded. Liu Ke was very satisfied.
It seems that Liu Ke is in Lujiang County, and all the major families have restrained their playboys, but Liu Ke has not encountered any incidents.
Three days later, an urgent report came from Lu Su, saying that an imperial edict was coming to Yangzhou.
Liu Ke¡¯s first reaction was, what news is Cao Cao going to make again?
As for some useless titles and rewards, Liu Ke is no longer interested and they are of no use at all.
Although he was reluctant to leave, Liu Ke still had to return to Dongyang.
As a result, Liu Ke arrived in Dongyang faster than the Holy Envoy.
"What's Cao Mengde doing?" Liu Ke said straight to the point.
"It's not clear yet, I'm afraid the person who came here is evil." Lu Su said.
"Zijing's words are wrong. Cao Mengde's power is okay, but he is still far from challenging our position in Yangzhou." Jia Xu said.
Liu Ke also believes that what Jia Xu said makes sense, and his strength is right in front of him.
"It's impossible to form an alliance, otherwise we wouldn't be invited." Xun You said.
Now that the princes are united, there is still a certain threat to Yangzhou.
But the princes were all frightened by Liu Ke's attack. Now that Yangzhou is at peace and does not threaten their survival, the princes will not fight to the death.
"Why are you speculating on this kind of thing? When the Holy Envoy comes, we will naturally know it. When the soldiers come, we will cover up the water and the earth. We are never afraid of trouble!" Guo Jiadao.
"It's better for Fengxiao to understand!" Liu Kedao.
?????????????????Later, the holy envoy arrived in Dongyang and turned out to be Zhong Yao.
Liu Ke was not very familiar with Zhong Yao. He only knew that he was the one who sent Ma Teng as envoy to Xiliang and then deceived Ma Teng into Chang'an.
Later, Zhong Yao went to Wancheng as an envoy and successfully persuaded Zhang Xiu to join Cao Cao. Zhong Yao has become Cao Cao's right-hand man and is very famous.
This information was collected by Xun You afterwards and reported to Liu Ke.
"Meet the Marquis of Dongyang!" Zhong Yao said respectfully. He seemed to know Liu Ke's character very well.
Logically speaking, as a holy envoy, he must be superior to others, but Zhong Yao is not arrogant.
Liu Ke bowed his hand and was not rude.
Zhong Yao read out the imperial edict, which actually asked Liu Ke to go to Chang'an to participate in the autumn hunt.
Liu Ke is no stranger to autumn hunting. It is an activity for emperors to show their force, and all princes and ministers will participate.
But that was only done in the era of great unification, right?
Now at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the country is torn apart and there are many princes. The autumn hunting is held at this time. Is it possible to catch all the princes in one fell swoop?
Only a fool would go!
Even Liu Ke is worried about his own safety, let alone the other princes?
Chang'an is Cao Cao's territory, he can do whatever he wants!
"The Holy Envoy was joking. Autumn is the harvest season. We have a lot of farming in Yangzhou, so it's not suitable for running around." Liu Kedao made a random excuse.
Zhong Yao was not annoyed and said: "This time, His Majesty also invited various princes. As Zongzheng and Situ, Dongyang Marquis should be present to suppress the whole audience for Your Majesty."
"This kind of thing can only be done by Brother Meng Dexian. I won't steal his limelight." Liu Kedao.
"Cao Gong's status is sufficient, but compared with the powerful Dongyang Marquis, it is still slightly insufficient." Zhong Yao said.
"You really dare to say anything, aren't you afraid that Cao Cao will trouble you?"
"No matter what Cao Cao does, I will not go to Chang'an in the near future." Liu Ke said.
"My lord, when you go, remember to bring an army of one million people with you, haha!" Dian Wei laughed.
After experiencing the Battle of Yuzhou, Dian Wei matured a lot.
Zhong Yao¡¯s face trembled, but soon returned to normal.
"I'm afraid no one will go to the autumn hunting this time!" Liu Ke said with certainty.
Which of the remaining princes is not a human spirit?
There is really no one as stupid as Ma Teng.
"That's such a pity. In such a grand event, Dongyang Hou will definitely become the protagonist." Zhong Yao said.
expand influence?
If it was done casually, Liu Ke wouldn't mind.
"I'll think about it again." Liu Ke did not refuse in a hurry and ordered people to put Zhong Yao in place.
A few days later, the news came one after another. Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao refused directly. Liu Zhang said that the road to Yizhou was not good and asked Cao Cao to have fun.
Sun Ce was even more hurtful. Not only did he reject Cao Cao's invitation, he also said to the envoy: "If it is held in Yangzhou, I, Sun Bofu, will definitely support me."
Isn¡¯t this a slap in Cao Cao¡¯s face? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
