Chapter 2174 Misunderstanding
Lu Bai laughed when he heard this: "Congratulations to you, but you deserve this."
Chen Xiaoba shook his legs, raised his chin, and said triumphantly: "So, men from County Lu don't have to feel guilty. Brothers help you, you will make a lot of money, and you won't lose at all."
But when he was feeling proud, He Chengjin pointed at him and said, "Come on, this man is rude and rude in front of the men of Qianshan County, drag him away and serve him with severe punishment!"
"Yes!" Two men came over immediately, twisted Chen Xiaoba and carried him away like a pig.
Chen Xiaoba was confused, what's going on? He just came to have a meal and feel proud of himself. How could he be arrested and tortured?
He hurriedly looked at Lu Bai, wanting to ask for help, but his mouth was covered, and he could only make a moaning sound, but could not speak.
Lu Bai looked anxious, but his escape from death was not in vain. He knew that He Chengjin could not arrest people in public at the banquet, so he asked He Chengjin: "Whose idea?"
He Chengjin replied: "That's what Mr. Zhong meant. Mr. Zhong said that he was born in the market, learned many methods of the three religions, and trained them, which will be useful to you when you patrol for the emperor in the future."
When patrolling on behalf of the emperor, if he encounters a case, he must go to the markets and villages to investigate. Then people like Chen Xiaoba will be needed.
Not only Chen Xiaoba, but also his group of brothers were captured, tortured first, and then thrown to the Fuhu Army camp for training. They were trained for a few months before being used by Lu Bai.
After hearing this, Lu Bai stopped interfering and only said: "Don't break his bones, otherwise he will have to spend time recovering from his injuries."
He Chengjin's face froze, feeling that Lu Bai's words were a nod to him, but now that he was Lu Bai's man, he could only obey his orders: "Yes."
Seeing He Chengjin's deflated appearance, Hua Qianshan burst into laughter. After He Chengjin walked away, he said to Lu Bai, "You deserve it. Let's see if he still dares to be arrogant?"
Lu Bai said: "He also obeys orders, no wonder him."
His flag also gained him a high official position and a title. He Chengjin and the others were demoted and assigned to his orders, which was much more miserable than him.
But today is a big day. Lu Bai didn't want to think about the past. He raised his bowl and said loudly: "Come on, brothers, let's have a drink."
Hua Qianshan laughed so hard: "Drink some rice soup and you'll feel better. OK, let's raise a toast to congratulate you on your knighthood!"
Lu Bai was injured and could not drink, so the bowl was filled with rice soup.
Everyone laughed hard when they heard Hua Qianshan's words. With Hua Qianshan's deliberate teasing, today's banquet was quite lively. Lu Bai received so many gifts that the warehouse of the Baron Mansion couldn't fit them all.
They also met Xu You's eldest son, Jiang Zheng'an of the Jiang family.
The two of them knew very well that they were in the capital as hostages and did not usually go out to socialize. However, Lu Bai's writing about the soldiers resisting the army made many people know how difficult it was for the soldiers to resist the army, and they were very grateful.
He also admired Lü Bai for knocking on the imperial city gate to cry out injustice, so he came here to propose a toast to Lü Bai.
To be honest, Dou Shaodong's family originally did not want to get involved with these two people, but they are indeed rare good young students with excellent literary talents. If they take the imperial examination, they will definitely pass the high school.
Lu Bai was a man of outstanding literary talent, so he liked them very much. However, due to their identities, they only chatted for more than a quarter of an hour before Mou Fang came over to remind Lu Bai and let them go.
Halfway through the banquet, the Queen Mother and the concubines in the palace sent congratulatory gifts, which made Lu Bai's knighthood banquet even more glorious, surpassing the one held by the Xu family in the capital.
Lu Bai was also asked about his marriage. It was from the palace servants around the Queen Mother who said that he had a good clan daughter who was going to be promised to him.
Lu Bai refused, saying bluntly that he might not live long enough to return from a hunting tour on behalf of the emperor, and there was no need to harm anyone.
Well, to put it so bluntly, the palace attendants in the Queen Mother's Palace were too embarrassed to persuade her any more, so they could only go back and convey Lu Bai's words to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was not angry, but felt that Lu Bai was a kind-hearted person who would think about his future wife. If he was selfish, knowing that he might die on the road while patrolling for the emperor, he would not hurry up to marry a wife and take concubines to give himself a few children. The son continues the family line.
He also felt that it was a pity that if such a good young man could come back alive, the girl who married him would be blessed.
"Go and report it to the Emperor," said the Queen Mother.
"Yes." The palace servants took the order and told Emperor Jingyuan that Lu Bai was unwilling to get married.
Emperor Jingyuan was very angry and scolded Lu Bai: "Idiot!"
He was offered a good marriage but refused to accept it, so he deserved to have no descendants.
However, Emperor Jingyuan didn't necessarily want Lu Bai to get married. He just felt that since the show was done, he should do everything to make him the icing on the cake.
But Lu Bai didn't accept it, and he wouldn't force it.
Emperor Jingyuan was eager to use Lu Bai to win over the people, so on the day he issued the decree to confer Lu Bai as an official or a noble, he sent people eight hundred miles to rush to deliver the news to all parts of Dachu.
So a few days after Lu Bai's knighthood banquet, He'an Mansion received the news that Lu Bai had been knighted.
The magistrate was shocked, then ecstatic, even more surprised than when Gu Jinan was a high school prospect. He immediately ordered: "Come on, prepare gifts and cars. I will personally go to the Lu family in Yujiang County to make Lu Bai the county boy. Tell the Lu family the good news about the official appointment!"
The magistrate of He'an Prefecture was none other than Tang Tongpan.
After the ancient magistrate was promoted, he was also promoted and became the magistrate. His position as general judge was taken over by Magistrate Zheng.
Magistrate Zheng is a branch of the Zheng family. He stayed in Tianfu County for several years. After making political achievements, he was easily promoted to the government office with the help of a direct branch of the Zheng family.
The current magistrate of Tianfu County, whose surname is Shi, is a late bloomer. He was a high school Jinshi at nearly forty years old. He got Tianfu County's vacancy, but he is honest, pragmatic, and respects the Ouyang family.
After learning that Ouyang Hu lived in Qingfu Town, he was overjoyed. He asked his son to visit him every now and then to ask for some advice, so that his son wouldn't be like him, who didn't get named on the gold list until he was almost forty years old.
"Yes, let's do it right now." Master Mo immediately went to do it. In just two hours, he prepared a lot of generous gifts. He also pulled six people from Guanya and sent them to the Lu family as servants.
Master Mo said: "Sir, the Lu County man still has his grandfather and parents here. We can't leave them unattended. Moreover, people can easily get confused once they gain power. We have to send a few people to keep an eye on the Lu family to avoid anything happening." , Your Excellency will be affected."
Magistrate Tang nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Master is still thoughtful. He'an Mansion has finally brought up a noble man from a poor family, but we can't let the Lu family suffer."
In the end, he was afraid that the servants in Guanya would not be clever enough, so he simply picked up a steward and a nanny from the family and brought them to the Lu family.
After everyone gathered together, the Tang magistrate handed over the government office to Su Tongzhi, and he and Zheng Tongpan rushed to Yujiang County with generous gifts.
Yujiang County is the closest county to He'an Prefecture. They traveled all night and arrived at the county government office the next morning. They were sleepy and hungry. However, after they only had one breakfast, they asked Wu from Yujiang County to Ling led the way and headed to Lu's house in a mighty manner.
But just after breakfast, something happened.
The Lu family was a family in the market, and news about this business spread quickly and outrageously. Everyone thought that Lu Bai had offended a nobleman in Beijing. The nobleman was so powerful that the Lord of the Imperial Palace personally came to Yujiang County to arrest the entire Lu family.
So when Magistrate Tang and others arrived, the breakfast shop of the Lu family was noisy, and Uncle Lu's second uncle and his third uncle were scolding Lu Bai's parents.
