It's better to be an empress than a county magistrate

Lu Yunfeng walked in, saw a box on the ground, and asked curiously.

"What good stuff did you bring back?"

Lu Xingchen has given him countless good things recently.

All the treasures and grain transported from Feihu Village and Niutou Village were handed over to him, and he was asked to register them into the warehouse.

So when he saw the box, he thought Lu Xingchen had brought back something good to give to him.

To be honest, Lu Xingchen is really better than Lu Kui, and of course better than him too.

If he became the county lord, all he would think about all day would be the tax revenue from the county and how to live frugally.

After Lu Xingchen became the county lord, it seemed that she had never thought about taxes and fees.

She also reduced some of the taxes for the people.

But now there is more silver in the treasury than can be spent.

He admired his niece more and more.

"It's indeed a good thing." Lu Xingchen said, handing the seal of Song County to Lu Yunfeng.

Lu Yunfeng naturally knew what the county seal looked like.

"This is the seal of Song County, how come it is here?" Lu Yunfeng looked at Lu Xingchen and asked in surprise.

If compared, the seal of a county is of the same importance as the emperor's jade seal.

"Song County will be ours in the future, so I want my uncle to help me govern Song County..."

Lu Yunfeng opened his eyes and mouth wide, completely shocked.

How come Song County is theirs? What happened? He is in Xing County every day and sees Lu Xingchen almost every day, so how come he doesn't know anything?

How could a person whom he could see every day do such a big thing and yet he had no idea about it?

"Don't you want to be a county magistrate, uncle? Go ahead." Lu Xingchen said.

"Govern Song County well."

"By the way, bring Linghu Qing with you."

"Let Linghu Qing help you do more things and train him up."

Lu Yunfeng was completely dazed and had not yet recovered from the blankness in his mind.

"Xingchen, this..." Lu Yunfeng no longer knew what to say and became incoherent.

"All the documents, the list of people, and the account books of Song County are here." Lu Xingchen said, "Uncle, please study them carefully. I'm leaving now. I have other things to do."

Lu Xingchen turned and walked out, while Lu Yunfeng sat on the ground.

He picked up an account book of Song County with trembling hands and began to read it.

He even had a glimmer of hope that this was not true, and that it was just something Lu Xingchen had fabricated to cheer him up.

But when he saw those account books, he knew they were not fake, because he had been looking at Xing County's account books for so many years and could tell the real from the fake at a glance.

Lu Yunfeng burst into laughter for no apparent reason.

Jia Rong came to the room where Jia Wanhe was.

"Rong'er, you're finally here." Jia Wanheru saw his savior and hugged Jia Rong in his arms.

"Let's give all those villages to Lu Xingchen. Give them all to him. As long as Dad can return to Song County, it will be better than anything else."

"Have you brought all the things? Is that bandit Lu Xingchen willing to release us? Does he have any other requests?"

Jia Wanhe was really something Jia Rong couldn't bear to look at.

Although this is his father, he also feels that Jia Wanhe is not an outstanding person.

"You can go back." Jia Rong said coldly to Jia Wanhe.

"What do you mean? I can go back, but he wants to keep you here." Jia Wanhe looked at Jia Rong with a puzzled look.

Jia Rong nodded.

"Yes, I want to stay."

There was obviously a struggle in Jia Wanhe's heart.

Should he let his son go back and stay by himself?

But in the end he felt that he should go back and leave Jia Rong behind.

"You are really a good son to father. You even came to Xing County to suffer for father." Jia Wanhe hugged Jia Rong tightly in his arms.

"Don't worry, Lu Xingchen will forget about this matter after a while, and Dad can redeem you with a generous gift."

"As long as we take out 10% of the tax revenue from the three hundred villages, we can definitely redeem you."

Jia Rong was really speechless.

His father is still fantasizing that he can exchange himself for money by using taxes without having to hand over the land.

Originally, Jia Rong wanted to give Jia Wanhe a real account, but now it seems that there is no need for that.

"By the way, Dad, I have already taken Mom and sister to the farm. You don't have to go back to the county town, go directly back to the farm..." Jia Rong said.

"Okay, don't worry. Dad will go back to the farm first to pick up your mother and your sister, and then go back to the county." Jia Wanhe couldn't wait any longer.

Before coming to Xing County, Jia Rong had already explained the actual situation to his mother and sister.

Jia Wanhe will naturally hear the actual situation from his mother and sister.

Jia Wanhe left Xing County in a hurry without saying goodbye to Lu Kui.

Lu Yunfeng was sure that what he saw was the authentic seal of Songshan County, as well as the account books and the roster of the people.

But he still felt it wasn't real enough.

So he needs to slow down.

So he returned to his home.

Madam Mu was a little surprised to see Lu Yunfeng coming back early today.

"What's wrong with you? Is the master feeling unwell? You look distracted." Mu stepped forward and supported Lu Yunfeng.

"Madam, pinch me." Lu Yunfeng said to her without thinking.

Mu was a little worried, thinking that he was possessed by evil spirits, but she still pinched him gently.

"Use a little more strength." Lu Yunfeng said.

So Mu twisted Lu Yunfeng's arm hard and pinched it hard.

Lu Yunfeng screamed in pain.

"Ma'am, it seems everything is true."

"Master, what's wrong with you? Are you possessed? Don't scare me." Mu asked with a worried look on his face.

Lu Yunfeng held Mu's face and kissed her hard on the lips.

Mu was obviously shocked and pushed Lu Yunfeng away.

"Why are you going crazy in broad daylight?" she said shyly.

"Just now, Xingchen handed Song County over to me and asked me to govern it. Now I am the county magistrate of Song County." Lu Yunfeng said excitedly.

"I thought I was dreaming. My head was in a daze, so I asked my wife to help me wake up."

This time it was Mu's turn to be confused.

After Lu Xingchen left the yamen, he wanted to go find Master Yuan Tianshi.

As a result, a yamen runner came over with a few people.

"Master, he said he is Master Liu from Wanxian County and came to visit you."

Master Liu looked at Lu Xingchen with a smile on his face.

However, he couldn't help being surprised. He didn't expect that the lord of Xing County was so young, with red lips and white teeth, and so handsome.

He is so young but has such powerful abilities.

The second young lady would definitely be delighted to see such a beauty.

"Hello, Your Excellency the County Lord. My surname is Liu, and I work as a legal advisor under Magistrate Zhou of Wan County. Today I have come to congratulate Your Excellency the County Lord on the instructions of our master." Legal Advisor Liu said with a smile on his face.

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, "We don't have close contacts with Wanxian, so why should we be happy?"

"Of course it's because the county lord has just ascended to the position of county magistrate. This is a happy event..." said Master Liu.

Lu Xingchen felt that Master Liu had something else in mind, so he raised his eyebrows and looked at him, asking, "Is there another Erxi?"
