Chapter 408 Expanding the Victory
Lin Ran waved his hand and asked his subordinates to escort the Shi family to the prison.
Lu Yiliang's face turned pale. Lu Desheng rolled his eyes. He approached Lu Yiliang and lowered his voice and said, "Master Lu, have you heard of such a saying?"
Lu Yiliang was distraught because of Shi Tao's fate. When he heard Lu Desheng's words, he subconsciously asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Leniency will be given if you confess, strict if you resist." Lu Desheng thought to himself, Shi Tao had already fallen, so why didn't he take the opportunity to clean up his bastard and save it for the New Year?
Lu Yiliang clenched his teeth.
Lu Desheng discovered that Lu Yiliang did not cry without seeing the coffin.
"Why are you so stubborn? You don't even think about whether your own ass is clean!"
Lu Desheng told him that it was useless to fight to the death, "You know in your heart that you will definitely be unlucky in the future, but if you take the initiative to confess, fewer relatives will be implicated. If you don't take the initiative to confess, you can only hide in fear for two days." . If you don’t believe me, look at Mr. Lin, he must have some evidence.”
Lin Ran glanced at him.
Lu Desheng hinted wildly when he looked over.
In the end, Lin Ran didn't say anything and allowed his power to be fake.
In Lu Yiliang's view, Lin Ran acquiesced, and his face turned pale again.
As the search progressed, sweat dripped from his forehead. He knew that he was finished. The interest entanglement between him and Shi Tao was deeply involved. As long as he kept searching, he would be finished.
And he was a little afraid of Lin Ran, Zhi Jinwu who came from Chang'an.
Lu Yiliang asked Lin Ran, "If I confess voluntarily, can I be given a lighter sentence as appropriate?"
Lin Ranmo, Lu Desheng's ability to deceive people has not slowed down at all.
He pointed a subordinate forward and said to Lu Yiliang, "Go with him and tell the truth. It will be in your favor."
Jin Wuwei, who was pointed out by Lin Ran, took a step forward and said to Lu Yiliang, "Let's go."
Lu Yiliang followed dejectedly.
Lu Desheng was overjoyed, the victory had expanded again, it was not in vain for him to come so far to watch the excitement.
Lu Desheng was in a good mood. After removing Lu Yiliang, a Liaoxi county guard position became vacant. He thought about it, who should he recommend?
Take Wuyou County Magistrate Liu Heshan. His cousin played a vital role in bringing down Shi Tao this time.
After Lu Desheng made his plans, he approached Lin Ran,
"Master Lin, after Lu Yiliang came down, there was no one in the Liaoxi County Sheriff. However, we have a county magistrate in Liaodong County who is very capable and suitable to be a county governor. I want to promote him. If you go back to Chang'an, help I have so many kind words.”
Lin Ran glanced at him. Didn't he know Lu Desheng's position in the heart of the new emperor? Is this something he can accomplish with his kind words?
"Help me." Lu Desheng begged him.
"It's possible, but there's no guarantee it will work."
The whole Shi family was detained and sent to prison by Jin Wu guards in uniforms. This scene fell in the eyes of the people outside the house and confirmed their previous guesses - Shi Tao was finished.
"Then we have no governor in Pingzhou?"
At this time, someone in the crowd shouted loudly, "Who said we have no governor in Pingzhou? Our new governor in Pingzhou is Mr. Lu Deshenglu!"
After the news broke, the man was surrounded by turnover people, "Is this true?"
"It's true. My cousin just came back from Houcheng, and the good news has spread all over there."
"No wonder, I seemed to have seen Mr. Lu just now."
"Did you see it too? I just saw Mr. Lu go in. I thought I was dazzled."
"It seems the news is true."
As soon as the news spread that Lu Desheng was the new governor of Pingzhou, the people outside the governor's house couldn't help but cheer loudly.
"In this case, our family won't have to move to Liaodong County."
"Yes, yes."
They used to envy the people of Liaodong County.
"I don't expect our life to be like that of Liaodong County, just half as long as theirs."
"It's definitely possible. I wonder if Mr. Lu will move to Liaoxi County?"
"It's impossible to say for sure. He didn't move to the governor's mansion in Liaodong County before for the sake of Hou City."
"Hey, never mind, tomorrow I will come and sweep the land in front of the Governor's Mansion to express our feelings."
"Call me when you come, and we'll come together."
"And I-"
"Okay, if there are many people, we will sweep around the governor's office. We must make Master Lu feel the sincerity of our people in Liaoxi County."
There was too much noise outside, which attracted the attention of the Jinwu Guards of the Governor's Mansion.
Not long after, Jin Wuwei reported what happened outside to Lin Ran.
Lin Ran turned his head and looked at Lu Desheng. He didn't expect that this person would be quite popular among the people if he was placed here?
Facing his gaze, Lu Desheng raised his chest and thought to himself, the people of Liaoxi County are quite sharp-eyed.
The Jinwu Guards were quite professional in searching the house. It didn't take long for them to finish searching the Shi Mansion.
Lu Desheng looked at the gold, silver, jewelry and grain seized from the Shi Mansion. After walking around them, he approached Lin Ran and said, "Master Lin, Shi Tao's greedy people are all the people of Pingzhou. . This is taken from the people, should it be used for the people?”
Lin Ran understood what he meant. He wanted to keep the confiscated property.
He glanced at Lu Desheng and thought he was being whimsical. What good things are you thinking about? This is all fat meat that is going to be given to the emperor. He still wants to snatch the meat from the emperor's mouth?
Lin Ran bowed in the direction of Chang'an, "Lord Lu, these things must be escorted back to Chang'an and handed over to the treasury." Before leaving, the emperor specifically pointed at him.
Lu Desheng was annoyed. Song Mo really loves money!
Look at what he can do. He confiscates all the houses. Be careful not to get the title of the emperor who confiscates the houses in the future. Lu Desheng muttered in his heart.
For the sake of the common people outside, Lin Ran reminded him, "Lord Lu, don't lose the big picture for the small."
Lu Desheng's heart trembled. Yes, he was the governor of Pingzhou because of his daughter's hard work. Song Mo had no choice but to let him take the position. He was not sitting very steadily, so there was no need to offend Song Mo for this.
Liaodong County, Houcheng
In the evening, Qin Sheng went to the county governor's mansion to pick up Lu Songli.
When he was in Houcheng, whenever he was free, he would personally pick up his wife from duty.
In the classroom, his wife was still the only one reviewing official documents.
"Where is my father-in-law?" Qin Sheng was speechless about his father-in-law who loved to be late and leave early, and to be lazy whenever he got the chance.
Lu Songli replied, "He went to Liaoxi County."
"He went to watch the fun?" Since his father-in-law had already taken office, Shi Tao's downfall was inevitable. Qin Sheng easily guessed the purpose of his trip.
Lu Songli said while packing up official documents, "My father has this hobby."
Qin Sheng's face twitched. His father-in-law's hobby of joining in the fun was really unique.
Fortunately, his father-in-law himself had a high official rank, and he had a daughter like Lili to back him up. Otherwise, this hateful hobby would be put in a sack, right?
"Lili, my father-in-law must have taken the opportunity to be lazy." Qin Sheng secretly complained.
Lu Songli smiled, "Don't let my father hear this." Otherwise, he will be punished.
Qin Sheng looked around vigilantly.
