The gate opened, and a dark-faced man walked out. He looked at the ragged team with a little vigilance and curiosity. He asked Lu Peng, County Magistrate Lu, what's the matter?"
What…with so many guards? Lu Peng took a look. There were at least a few hundred people. He could not help but glare at Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan was a little baffled. He did not expect Lu Peng to want to eat the military rations forcefully.
"How should I address this general?"
It was obvious that he could not win, so he could only go soft. Lu Peng smiled and cupped his hands.
The black-faced man was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. He was just a small station chief, and his rank was far inferior to that of a county magistrate. He hurriedly said,"I wouldn't dare. General Xie Qi greets the county magistrate.”
"Xie Qi:
Wu: 64.
55.
Intelligence: 28.
19.
Charm: 43."
Lu Peng quietly glanced at the value and gave it a trash rating. However, he pretended to be very sincere and said solemnly,"General Xie, please look at the villagers behind me. They have no way out and can't survive without food. He still has his wife and children at home. Please take pity on them.”
Xie Qi glanced at the emaciated and sallow disaster victims. A trace of pity flashed in his eyes as he sighed."County Magistrate Lu, although there are hundreds of stones of military rations in the warehouse I guard, it is the military rations of Governor Lu. He is leading the troops outside to suppress the bandits. If there is a mistake, the lives of my entire family will be in danger.”
"No worries!" Lu Peng waved his hand." General, you may not know this, but Governor Lu is my uncle. This grain is borrowed by this county magistrate. I will return it double after the autumn harvest!”
Xie Qi and Jiang Yan, who was beside him, were both shocked. The former hurriedly said,"So it's Lu Langjun.”
Lu Peng said," No need. Thank you, General. I'll write you a receipt. I'll pay you double when I collect the grain." If my uncle wants to punish me, he will cut off my head first. How about that?”
Xie Qi hesitated. Lu Peng said sternly,""Xie Qi! As a general, do you really think you can just watch my people starve to death? With this official taking responsibility and the seal and document given to you, you don't even have the courage to fight?”
The disaster victims behind Lu Peng knelt down and begged in unison,""General, please have mercy!"
Xie Qi was instantly moved. Lu Peng said,""General Xie, do you want me to kneel before you?”As he spoke, he pretended to act.
"I wouldn't dare!" Xie Qi hurriedly said. I'll listen to Langjun!"
Lu Peng was just putting on an act. He was overjoyed when he heard that and said with a smile,"General, don't worry. I will put in a good word for you in front of uncle!”
The Yangkou granary not only had 300 dan of rations, but also armaments, hundreds of strong bows, and thousands of arrows. Lu Peng organized a few batches of disaster victims to move the food back to the county warehouse. When he returned, he saw Xie Qi standing there in a daze. He coughed and said,"General Xie, there are bound to be bandits and bandits in times of famine. My county is empty, and I'm afraid that many grains will be robbed. Why don't you do a good deed until the end and return with me?”
Xie Qi shook his head." No, there are still weapons in this warehouse. This general has his duties, so I don't dare to leave."”
"That's easy." Lu Peng waved his hand and shouted,"Everyone, work harder. Move the military equipment back too!"”
In any case, it was a scam. This was called going all out. Xie Qi looked on with his mouth agape. After a while, he said speechlessly, County Magistrate Lu, you…sigh!"
"Don't worry, my uncle loves me the most. It's fine. Let's go, General."
Lu Peng's 100 points of Charm played a big role. Xie Qi hesitated for a while, then cupped his hands and said,""Then please take care of me, County Magistrate Lu…Langjun Lu.”
This time, not only did he get his food back, but he also managed to kidnap a large group of soldiers. Lu Peng was instantly overjoyed. In a chaotic world, food was the most important, but knives were the most fundamental.
At this moment, in a mansion in the east of Yangquan City, two dancers were dancing.
In the hall, a few people were staring intently. A man with a green birthmark on his face raised his glass and said,"Come, come, let's drink!"
This person was County Lieutenant He Sheng. The guests were all his subordinates.
He Sheng drank two glasses of wine and sneered."That little kid from the Lu family is young and of unknown origin. He still wants to ride on our heads. You just sit down and drink. Within ten days, Lu's son will abandon his official position and escape.”
Everyone was clear about the situation in the county and laughed. In front of everyone was a large plate of delicacies, drinking and making merry.
Suddenly, a servant hurried in and ran to He Sheng to report in a low voice.
"What?" He Sheng was instantly shocked and angry. He slammed the table and stood up. He said angrily," That Lu kid is actually so bold?”
"He actually dared to touch the rations in the Yangkou granary?”Everyone was instantly stunned. Was this person an idiot? Was he courting death?
" Duke He, this kid claims to be Governor Lu's nephew. I wonder if he's telling the truth…" someone whispered.
If he really was Lu Kang's nephew, they would be courting death if they went against him.
"Impossible!" He Sheng said firmly," Governor Lu is from the Lu family of Wu County. I know him very well. There is no such person in the Lu family. This child's accent was not from Jiangdong at all. It must be a fake.”
A sinister smile appeared on his face as he pointed at someone and said,""Fifth Deng, quickly go to Lujiang and report this matter to the prefect's manor. I want to see how this child who has no respect for the law of the country dies!”
Deng Wu immediately stood up and left. Everyone smiled. One of them chuckled and said,"Duke He, when that little Lu came, there was a beauty in the carriage. Although I only caught a glimpse of her, her appearance was like that of a god! After taking down Little Lu, He Gong would be lucky with women.”
