Chapter 88: Entering Pingzhou
Not long after Lu Chen was ordered to return to the capital, Liu Feng, the head of the county, began a purge of Lu Chen's faction at the suggestion of Zhang Tao.
The first thing he targeted was Xue Huairen, the guard of Qinghe County, when Lu Chen fought with 200,000 barbarian troops in Wuguan, his grain and grass were not good, but Xue Huairen escorted grain and grass to the border army without the permission of the county head.
In Liu Feng's view, this is to make it clear that he is against himself, the head of the county, how can he tolerate Xue Huairen.
At present, the tax paid by Qinghe County to the county has shrunk greatly, so Zhang Tao proposed to Liu Feng that Xue Huairen be put in prison on the grounds of corruption and fraud.
Although Xue Huairen is also a county guard like Lu Chen, his duties are very different from Lu Chen. Xue Huairen can be convicted of corruption, and Liu Feng can still handle it.
Originally, he was going to kill Xue Huairen immediately, but when he led the county army to arrest Xue Huairen, Liu Feng unexpectedly saw Xue Ling.
Liu Feng is greedy for money and lustful, despicable and lewd, Xue Ling's beauty, in his eyes, it simply makes him think that he has seen a fairy daughter, how can he still hold it.
And no matter how eccentric Xue Ling is, when she saw her father being arrested and put in prison, she still became six gods and no master, in this case, Liu Feng coerced and seduced, exhausted all kinds of means, and finally patted his chest and assured Xue Ling that as long as she was willing to commit herself to marrying herself, her father promised that she would be fine immediately, and she could also be promoted!
Whether her father is promoted or not, Xue Ling doesn't care at all, when she is not the county guard of Qinghe, Xue Ling doesn't care, all she cares about is that her father can be safe, even if it is ...... It was at the expense of herself.
When Lu Chen returned to the border city, he heard this situation, and after Xiao Wang finished reporting, Lu Chen stood up all of a sudden, gritted his teeth and said:
"Liu Feng dog thief! It's too much of a deception! Lord Xue is such an honest official, and the dog thief actually charged him with corruption and fraud! Is it tolerable or unbearable! ”
Seeing that Lu Chen was angry, Xiao Wang said cautiously: "My lord, there is one more thing...... Liu Feng will be in ...... I will marry Miss Xue Ling today......"
"What!?" When Lu Chen heard this, he felt a sudden pain in his heart, and then felt anger rushing to his head, although he had only had a one-sided relationship with Xue Ling, but at that moment, he still had a wonderful feeling for no reason, that feeling, as if his most beloved thing had been snatched away!
"Wait until you return to our army's garrison, mobilize all departments, and follow me to Pingzhou!" General Wang Yan's headquarters, stay in Wuguan! Lu Chen pointed at Zhao Chuan and the others and shouted angrily.
"Order!" The generals returned in unison.
Under Lu Chen's military order, the border army was quickly assembled, with 40,000 horses, marching all the way to the county seat.
Tens of thousands of troops, guns and halberds, bright armor, murderous, no need to ask, anyone who sees it knows that the comer is not good, more like he came to attack the city!
When Lu Chen led the army to the gate of Pingzhou, the county army guarding the city did not even have anyone who stepped forward to inquire, and when they saw such a scale and such a military appearance, they were all so frightened that they threw away their armor and fled in all directions!
Pingzhou, the capital of the county.
At this time, it was the time of the evening banquet, and Liu Feng's house could be described as jubilant and full of guests.
Today, the head of the county married a concubine, and the object of the marriage was still the daughter of Xue Huairen, the daughter of Xue Huairen, who was under the jurisdiction of Pingyang County, in addition to Xue Huairen and Lu Chen, the other three county guards were all present to congratulate.
In the field, there are many big businessmen in Pingzhou, generals of the county army, etc., etc., which can be described as overcrowded. People raised their glasses to Liu Feng to celebrate, and Liu Feng was also full of red light, compliments, laughter, and endless ears......
Halfway through the wine, Liu Feng left under the pretext of leaving, but in fact, he couldn't hold it back in his heart, and before the guests dispersed, he had already sneaked to the wedding room.
"Oh my little baby, I'm here ......"
As soon as he entered the door, Liu Feng directly closed the door, and then rubbed his hands together and put on a cheap smile on his face.
In the room, Xue Ling was dressed in a red wedding dress, with light makeup and exquisite makeup, and a golden hairpin, which was really beautiful like a fairy, but her smart and beautiful big eyes were red and swollen from crying at this time.
Xue Ling didn't pay attention to Liu Feng's entrance and his cheap laughter, and she didn't even raise her head, just tears, which had already fallen silently, and never stopped.
Her heart is dead.
But in order to save her father, she had no choice.
She had already thought that after her father was released from prison and flew away, she committed suicide......
"Tut-tut, what are you crying about, look, look......" Liu Feng said in a distressed tone, and at the same time, his fat hand also reached for the button on Xue Ling's wedding dress.
Out of instinctive resistance and disgust, Xue Ling subconsciously protected his chest with his hands. Seeing this, Liu Feng had a slap in his hand, he was not in a hurry to use force, but said with a smile:
"Little beauty, do you want to watch Xue Huairen die in prison? Kindness? Besides, this official is also the head of the county, marry me, you don't suffer, now let go of your hand, let this official take good care of you, after tonight, tomorrow, your father can appear in front of you safely and intact, otherwise...... Hey hey ......"
Xue Ling didn't speak, but the tears fell more fiercely, crying silently.
She bit her lip and let the tears wet her long eyelashes, blurring her vision, before slowly removing her hands from her chest.
"Lu Chen, I hate you! I hate you! ”
It was the first thing she said in the past two days, and in that moment, she was desperate......
"Why do you hate him? Hum! That guy surnamed Lu is probably already a dead man by now! ”
Seeing her let go of her hand, the smile on Liu Feng's face deepened, he looked at Xue Ling's chest, swallowed a mouthful of saliva fiercely, and then was just about to make a move, who knew that at this time, the entire county government was suddenly in chaos, and then, in the room, he clearly heard the 'boom' footsteps coming from outside the mansion.
As the head of the county, he was in charge of the 50,000 county army, and he was all too familiar with this voice, it was the sound of the infantry marching in unison!
What's going on!? Liu Feng was shocked, and the movements in his hands also stopped, judging from the voice of the infantry outside the mansion, the entire county capital, at this time, I am afraid that it has been surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside!
Liu Feng panicked all of a sudden, in the entire Pingyang County, only he and Lu Chen had the command of the army, and Lu Chen's guy was not called back to the capital by the king to kill himself! So what the hell is going on out there!?
He was just about to go out to check, but before he could open the door, someone kicked it open from the outside!
At the same time, under the escort of Zhao Chuan and several other soldiers, Lu Chen stepped in.
