Chapter 258 Widely Known

Houcheng County Government

No one spoke in the hall, everyone was waiting for the results of the investigation.

In fact, with the existence of Li Rong, the person who went to the Governor's Mansion to deliver the message, whether Lu Desheng sent someone to the Sheriff's Mansion or not, the outcome of this matter can be determined without further investigation.

After more than an hour, the results came out.

The final result was that Mr. Lu did indeed send someone to deliver the letter to the county governor's mansion, but unfortunately the messenger met someone who was robbing him, and then the letter was not delivered.

Just, very unlucky.

Shi Tao sneered, in short, the letter sent to them just couldn't be delivered to them, right?

In short, the final conclusion is that Lu Desheng did not exceed his authority. On the contrary, he is very responsible. When the two top leaders were absent from the negotiations, he shouldered the entire burden! Even during the negotiation process, they argued hard and won such a big result as a three-year war-free treaty for Dali!

Chen Ping and Liu Heshan both cast their eyes on Lu Desheng with a vague look, admiring him. Mr. Lu did such a good job of cleaning up the work. He really took every aspect into consideration.

Lu Desheng took a sip of tea and didn't care about everyone's gaze. He felt secretly happy in his heart. How could he let the other party hold such an obvious handle.

Shi Tao slapped the table, "Everyone has an accident. Lu Desheng, do you think we are stupid?"

The more he understood, the more he felt that this negotiation was cheaper for Lu Desheng. If they hadn't been in the way and he had been the one to talk about it, he would have taken the lead. With this merit, he can return to the center of power in Chang'an and rank as Xiaojiuqing! So how could he not be angry at Lu Desheng?

In the current situation, he has limited options.

If the negotiation with the Xianbei Royal Court fails, it goes without saying that Lu Desheng will have to shed his skin even if he doesn't die.

But after the negotiations were concluded, the situation was different, not to mention that Lu Desheng also made the results of the negotiations known to everyone.

But there are some things that he would not be willing to do without trying.

Lu Desheng was surprised, "Why do you say this, sir?" I know you don't believe it, and I know you are dissatisfied, but you bite me.

These people have very bad consciences. Shi Tao and Zheng Xun want to punish themselves for their crimes by overstepping their authority, and then beat the rabbits and then take the credit for the negotiation. No way!

Shi Tao glared at him, "You know what I mean."

Lu Desheng is not afraid of him. What a joke. How can the fruit of his Lu family be so easy to pick?

"I am not a bug in your stomach, sir. I don't know what you mean. I only know that such an accident happened, and no one wanted to do it, including Li Rong and others who went to deliver the letter."

"But this person has three declines and six prosperity. No one knows whether he will encounter bad luck in the next moment."

"Like I always say to myself, accumulate more virtues and commit less sins, then bad luck will naturally stay away, and your own blessings will naturally come. Sir, are you right?"

Lord Governor, please don't be too greedy. If you are greedy, you will easily suffer retribution.

There was something in Lu Desheng's words that made Shi Tao laugh angrily, "Lü Desheng, you are very good. You really impressed this governor." In short, this governor will remember you.

Lu Desheng puffed up his chest, of course he was good.

Chen Ping looked at him, hesitating to speak, Mr. Lu, don't you understand? The governor's unfinished words——

Lu Desheng's eyes accidentally glanced at Chen Ping, and he somehow understood what he wanted to say. He rolled his eyes in his heart. He was a talkative censor himself. Of course he knew the threat behind his words, but well, there are many people who hate me. Okay, who is he?

Zheng Xun was waiting on Shi Tao, "Sir, have a sip of tea and calm down your anger."

Shi Tao drank a large sip of tea to suppress his anger. The plan failed. Lu Desheng was indeed difficult to deal with.

Le Guicai also helped to smooth things over, "Yes, Lord Governor, let's talk slowly. We are all people here who are well-read in poetry and literature. I believe we can make sense."

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Desheng, gesturing for him to say soft words. As the saying goes, the first level of officialdom can kill someone. He knew that Lu Desheng used to be a censor, no different from a governor, but now he was just a small county magistrate, and he still had to look up to others.

Lu Desheng reluctantly apologized, "Your Majesty, the governor, and the governor, all blame the people sent by the officials for their uselessness." This crime is not the other, and it doesn't hurt to apologize for this crime.

Shi Tao was silent.

Zheng Xun looked at him frequently. Lu Desheng had given them steps. Do you want to go down the slope?

In the end, Shi Tao personally helped Lu Desheng up, "It turns out it was all a misunderstanding. They are useless, and I can't blame you." Since you can't control him, it's better to borrow the donkey from the slope, don't break up, and maintain the superficial harmony.

Lu Desheng said with a 'grateful' look on his face, "Thank you, Lord Governor, for your understanding."

"Magistrate Lu, please give me the three-year war-free peace treaty you signed. The results of this negotiation with Xianbei will be submitted to the imperial court and the emperor by the governor."

Lu Desheng nodded frequently, "Okay, okay, the Governor must say a few nice words for Mr. Le, Mr. Chen, Mr. Liu, as well as Mr. Guo Xiancheng, Mr. Li and others."

Lu Desheng only gave him one rubbing. It was a joke. Of course he kept it for himself.

Shi Tao said nothing about this.

Before leaving, he said to Lu Desheng, "Also, don't use the two people who went to deliver the letter."

"Why?"

"It's such bad luck that we have a conflict with the Yamen!" Shi Tao said coldly, then threw off his sleeves and strode away.

Lv Desheng: ... Well, it seems that the governor is mad, and he has to let it out. He will compensate Li Rong and the others later.

The negotiation between Houcheng and Xianbei took only two days and achieved great results.

This speed is amazing.

As the news spread, the name of Houcheng County Magistrate Lv Desheng also became widely known.

But Lv Songli felt that it was not enough!

Ordinary people can't understand the serious negotiations, but they should understand the storybook, right?

So Lv Songli personally took charge of it, using the writing style of modern soft articles and cool articles, and made a short play about the negotiations between Lord Lv and Houcheng. There is no way, the storybooks written by literati nowadays are too subtle, and she is not very satisfied with the storybook she wrote.

After the storybook is written, the money is spent, the navy is deployed, and the reputation is spread!

Let's all come and appreciate the style of Lord Lv.

And as the storybook spreads, Lv Desheng's name evokes many scholars' memories of the Three Wonders Monument last year.

The emergence of the Four-for-Sentence was too shocking for the scholars. Not to mention, these three stone tablets are still standing in the three major academies of Wansong, Bailu and Songshan. On the stone tablets, the names of Emperor Kangcheng Song Zhi, Lv Desheng and the three deans of the academies are remembered by the scholars.

And Lv Desheng's move showed that he was the practitioner of the Four-for-Sentence, which immediately captured the favor of many scholars, knowledgeable people and ordinary people.

In the words of later generations, Lord Lv was out of the circle.

Before this memorial requesting merit returned to Chang'an, the legend of Lord Lv had already spread throughout the north, and there were signs that Lord Lv's deeds were moving southward.
