C214 – Imperial Eminence

“Grasp Lu is right here …” Following the shout, all of the officers inside the prefectural attendent went out to obtain him.

Lu Zheng carried Zuo Shaoqing off the horse. His mild and cautious actions almost blinded everybody.

Zuo Shaoqing couldn’t assist however roll his eyes at him. Not too long ago, this individual had been pretending to be a virtuous husband in entrance of outsiders.

After Lu Zheng carried Zuo Shaoqing off the horse, he didn’t instantly let him go. As an alternative, he wrapped his arm round Zuo Shaoqing’s waist and walked ahead. “There’s so many individuals watching!”

“You don’t prefer it?” Lu Zheng tilted his head and checked out Lu Zheng’s barely pink ears. He joked, “Each time you see that individual, don’t you seem like you need to disguise me?”

“I didn’t!” Zuo Shaoqing turned offended due to embarrassment. He was truly uncovered by Lu Zheng. Was there anything he didn’t know?

Lu Zheng chuckled, and solely after strolling in entrance of everybody did he cease smiling, and nodded at Jiung Hengzhou and Assistant Minister Ministry of Justice with a straight face.This chapter is up to date by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Jiung Hengzhou’s gaze, whether or not deliberately or unintentionally, fell on Zuo Shaoqing’s waist, trying on the harmonious scene between the husband and spouse, it was unspeakably eye piercing. He quietly appeared round, and realized that the residents of Crane Metropolis didn’t have any expressions of disgust in the direction of the actions of the 2, may it’s that solely he had such narrow-minded ideas?

“Sir Jiang, we meet once more.” Zuo Shaoqing cupped his palms in the direction of Jiung Hengzhou. His smile was pure, however it truly pulled the connection between the 2 of them aside.

It wasn’t that he didn’t discover the unusual look in Jiung Hengzhou’s eyes each time they noticed him standing along with Lu Zheng. Though it was very transient and secretive, Zuo Shaoqing paid an excessive amount of consideration to him and it wasn’t exhausting to note.

Nevertheless, that was not vital. It doesn’t matter what his ideas had been, he would by no means be his love rival on this life.

In his earlier life, he had by no means come into contact with Jiung Hengzhou, so he had no doubts about that rumor. However on this life, after many investigations, he discovered that Jiung Hengzhou was a person who was self-disciplined to the purpose that he was nearly harsh on himself.

That was to say, even when he actually had a great impression of Lu Zheng, he would by no means admit to such emotions as a result of mundane world.

“Grasp Lu, Lord Zuo Ann!” The officers saluted first, and Jiung Hengzhou smiled at Zuo Shaoqing, “Lord Zuoson, very long time no see. I’ve heard quite a bit about you alongside the way in which.”

“Oh? What new rumors have appeared? ” Zuo Shaoqing blinked his eyes and acted like he didn’t care in any respect.

The assistant minister of Ministry of Justice on the aspect seized the chance to reply: “The residents are spreading rumors, Lord Zuo could be very good, not solely did he foresee Grasp Lu’s troubles, he may additionally formulate an ideal rescue plan, and even precisely discovered Grasp Lu’s whereabouts on the huge ocean, and helped Grasp Lu catch all of the pirates in a single fell swoop.

Together with his contributions, being promoted was nothing, however contemplating his age and {qualifications}, the Emperor shouldn’t let him maintain the place of Prefect. The very best risk was like Liang Qi, giving him a title and giving him some property.

How beneficiant is the Emperor, for a county Justice of the Peace to have a lot energy in his palms, when in comparison with a younger husband with Ministry of Works?

He had barely been an official for Ye Zichen prior to now. It had solely been half a 12 months, and the change had been too nice.

Lu Zheng pulled the individual onto his lap and defined intimately, “Though the Emperor’s actions are a bit surprising, however it’s not unimaginable for him to seek out you. He promoted you to Crane Metropolis Prefect, firstly, as a result of he appreciates your expertise, and secondly, as a result of he can make the most of this chance to check you. Thirdly, with you as an official within the Crane Metropolis, the navy will have the ability to develop as quick as potential, and as for the fourth …”

“There’s nonetheless a fourth?” Lu Zheng checked out Zuo Shaoqing who was staring speechlessly, laughed and stated: “Fourth, Crane Metropolis income is a crucial income for the nation’s treasury. Discovering a authorities official who is aware of his place and is wealthy is at all times higher than discovering one who’s seemingly sincere and secretly grasping, proper?”

Talking of cash, Zuo Shaoqing’s coronary heart was clearly moved. The Lin Household had been visited by them as soon as, and the treasures they discovered made him perceive that the phrase “three years of clearing the federal government and 100 thousand snowflakes” was not a joke.

He solely took just a few objects that made folks envious. As for the remainder of the issues, they had been left untouched. He was ready for Jiung Hengzhou to come back and rob the home.

Zuo Shaoqing understood the crux of the matter, however he secretly cursed: Zhan Yuanfeng thought he could be a great and sincere official, how may he know that he had a weak point for cash?

“The Prefect has been in workplace for 3 years. Doesn’t that imply that we’re going to separate now?” Zuo Shaoqing hugged Lu Zheng’s neck and rubbed his shoulder together with his cheek.

“Do you actually suppose you may apply like that? In three years’ time, it might be adequate for them to have a go at it. ” His aim was to kind a navy of 100 thousand males, twenty thousand males in every of the 5 marine battalions on the coast. So long as there was no large-scale naval battle, these males could be sufficient to guard the coast.

Zuo Shaoqing smiled, “In different phrases, you may be staying in Crane Metropolis for the following three years?” Though he wasn’t positive if Lu Zheng had left this place for him on objective, this information was too disturbing for him.

Lu Zheng raised his chin, “So long as the Left Prefect obediently enhances with me, I’ll positively be sure that no pirates inside a thousand miles of Crane Metropolis dare to come back go to!”

Zuo Shaoqing turned his head away and muttered: “Perhaps there aren’t any pirates inside a thousand miles?”

“Then, how about I shield the Left Prefect’s security for 3 years?”

“Defend him from each inch of the bottom?” Zuo Shaoqing raised his eyebrows.

“Mm …” And it’s even a private safety! ” Lu Zheng went over and answered in a delicate voice.

Zuo Shaoqing imagined himself going to the yamen every single day to see the well-known Duke Zhen. He was afraid that nobody would dare to mess with him anymore, proper?

He grinned and laughed silently. It was solely when Lu Zheng bit his neck that he realized that the so-called shut safety may not be as lovely as he had imagined.
