In the center of Yangquan City, outside a small building, there were more than ten men in gorgeous clothes kneeling with terrified expressions.
Zhou Tai stood guard at the door with his sword. His face was expressionless and his eyes were cold.
After a long time, the bamboo door opened with a creak, and Lu Peng walked out with his hands behind his back.
"You don't have to be so afraid. Get up.”Lu Peng looked at the group of people in front of him and sighed. He said calmly," Everyone under my rule is my people. My bottom line is not to try to cause trouble. As for the rest, as long as you follow my laws, you won't be implicated. Don't worry.”
Most of the men who came to beg for forgiveness had various connections with the rebellious aristocratic families.
After all, in this era, it was normal for big families to get married and be on good terms with each other.
According to the strict laws of the past, anyone who caused trouble would have their entire family killed. None of these people could escape.
That was why they were so scared that they came here and knelt for the entire night.
It was just that Lu Peng would not be so harsh. Killing the entire sect was already his bottom line. He had no choice but to adapt to the pace of this era and intimidate the small fries.
After hearing his promise, the people in front of him felt a little relieved and left one by one.
Lu Peng shook his head. He had thought of making a law, but now was not the time. He needed to at least have a state's territory to talk about it later.
He turned to the side with his hands behind his back and looked around. He didn't see Zhao Ji, but Lao Cai stared at him and stuck his head out."What are you looking at?"
"Mr. Cai, your birthday is coming soon, right?”Lu Peng smiled faintly.
"What does it have to do with you? You bastard, get lost!" Lao Cai shouted as he held his walking stick.
Lao Cai wasn't stupid. Although everyone was hiding it from him, he still felt that something was wrong. Recently, he had locked Zhao Ji up tightly and didn't let her out. He was really a strict father-in-law.
However, this was what made it interesting. It was only interesting to overcome all kinds of difficulties and embrace the beauty. Just like last night, he had climbed over the wall to talk to Zhao Ji for a while.
Naturally, Zhou Tai would pretend not to see such a scene where a father-in-law was fighting against his son-in-law. Lao Cai's vanity was satisfied, and he went to the library with his walking stick.
Lu Peng came to the government office. As soon as he entered, Xun Yu and the others cupped their hands in unison.
"My lord."
"There's no need to be so polite." Lu Peng smiled and sat down, watching his subordinates busy themselves.
This feeling was really comfortable. For the past two years, he had been working himself to death.
At this moment, Ma Feng asked to see him. The Zhen family's second batch of warhorses had arrived.
"The second young master of the Zhen family is also here. He seems to be seriously ill.”Ma Feng said.
"Second Young Master?" Lu Peng was stunned and went out to welcome him.
The second young master of the Zhen family was called Zhen Yan. He was a young man in his twenties. He was lying in the carriage with a pale face. It was obvious that he was seriously ill.
"Zhen Yan greets Lord Lu." He forced himself to bow and said with difficulty," Please forgive me for being too ill to greet you.”
"Don't worry, second young master Zhen has had a tough journey.”
Why did he travel thousands of miles to come here with such a serious illness?
"Manor Lord, to tell you the truth, my illness…cough cough, it's already difficult to treat in Ye City. He heard that Divine Doctor Hua was in your esteemed place, so he could only come and disturb you.”
Although the Zhen family was a giant merchant family, they were not directly merchants. Instead, they were like sitting on the ground and sharing the spoils. In fact, he was from an official family. It was just that his reputation was not very good.
Lu Peng nodded and called for someone to send Zhen Yan to Hua Tuo.
Zhen Yan's illness was something that doctors in other places were helpless about. However, after arriving at Yangquan, Hua Tuo didn't even need to do anything. A few disciples cured him.
In the field of medicine, Yangquan was far ahead of the whole country. Even if they added up, it might not be enough to beat them, and it was still developing.
In ten days, the seriously ill Second Young Master Zhen had mostly recovered. What made Lu Peng not know whether to laugh or cry was that he refused to come out of the hospital.
"What is it? Did this guy fancy a nurse from the hospital?”Lu Peng suddenly felt as if time and space were in a mess.
There were originally no nurses in the hospital, but didn't they kill a group of troublemakers not long ago? Those wealthy families had a large number of maids and servants, so Lu Peng brought these people to the hospital to be nurses.
At first, Hua Tuo pointed at his nose and scolded him for being ridiculous. He even looked down on women. However, after using it for a few days, he suddenly stopped talking. This industry was naturally suitable for girls. Think about it, when you were a patient, would you want a man to take care of you or a girl to take care of you?
Now that their relationship had improved, someone had actually caught Second Young Master Zhen's eye. Lu Peng couldn't help but smile. He waved his hand and said,""Let's leave it to that girl's own wishes.”If she agreed, she could give the Zhen family a nurse.
After Zhen Yan's condition improved, he ran to Lu Peng gratefully."Thank you, Lord Lu. My life was saved by you. In the future, the Zhen family is willing to share the blame with Yangquan.”
" You're too kind, Second Young Master." Lu Peng smiled." However, I do have a favor to ask of you. Help me find someone."”
Zhen Yan was stunned for a moment.”
"Help me find a person called Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong.”Lu Peng smiled and said leisurely," Tell him that if he has the chance, he might as well come to Yangquan to take a look."”
