In January, Mo Xia and Lu Chenzhang worked every step of the way in Nanjun. It could be said that they devoured everything, quietly dismantling Empress Cui's many plots.

Since Mo Xia learned about Liu Yuzheng's plan from Aunt Liu, he was cautious and led Du Tingyue and Su Heng to deploy among the people, and tried every means to reverse Lu Chenzhang's little reputation in Lingyuan County step by step.

Sitting in the private room of the restaurant, Mo Xia listened to the storyteller downstairs, waving the paper folding fan with his left hand, and slapped the gavel three times with his right hand, spitting all over the place, talking endlessly: "Your Highness the Fifth Prince is the benefactor of our county. Mingming threeThe counties were hit by disasters at the same time, and Lingyuan County had the upper hand. It seemed that we had been forgotten. But after His Highness came down, we also received money and food from the imperial court. The rebels outside the city were also killed by General Cui.No one left behind. No, An Sheng's good life is right in front of his eyes."

The audience listened to the book and the people applauded. Du Tingyue stood beside Mo Ya, listening to the voices of the people, looking at Mo Ya with admiration in his eyes: "My lord, these days you have pretended to be against His Highness, and you have caught a lot of people.Less fat fish. Liu Jun believed in the truth and gave the young master a lot of convenience. If it weren't for this, we might not be able to go so smoothly this time."

Mo Xia smiled, with undisguised self-satisfaction on his face, but also very humble: "Liu Yuzheng is just a conceited dog under His Highness the First Prince. If it wasn't for his sister, if it wasn't for the Cui family, how could he be the head of a county?I don't need to think too much about him, it's also thanks to you and Su Heng."

No matter how powerful Liu Yuzheng was, he was only as prestige in Lingyuan County.The sheriffs of the other two counties are not from the Cui family's faction, and they have already gritted their teeth with hatred for Lingyuan, who was the least affected by the disaster, but monopolized the preferential treatment from the court.

Not to mention, one of the county guards has been favored by the general of the town, and he is deeply aware of it, and has been secretly serving Lu Chenzhang.

The three counties have had a long-standing grievance, and there are two more county guards to help.With just a little provocation, Mo Xia easily won the hearts of the people in the second county.

Thinking about this, Mo Xia asked: "In Lingyuan County, how is the reputation of His Highness handled?"

"Don't worry, my lord." Du Tingyue lowered his head, "These days, my subordinates have spent a lot of money to let porters and beggars walking around the streets to spread the words that the young master told my subordinates. These days, your highness has made a big move and cut Liu Yuzheng's words."A lot of wings, in addition to being overwhelmed, his control over Lingyuan County has been weakened, and now there is nothing he can do to stop it."

Mo Ya cast an admiring look: "The situation is better than we expected, Ting Yue is really amazing."

Du Tingyue was also modest: "Subordinates don't dare to praise you like a son. These are all thanks to Su Heng."

Su Heng is now a mad dog who is cornered. No matter how difficult and dangerous the confession between Mo Xia and Lu Chenzhang is, as long as he can get rid of Liu Yuzheng, he will spare no effort to catch him.

Mo Xia originally wanted Du Tingyue to go to the people, starting from the most inconspicuous traffickers and pawns, and through their word of mouth, reverse Lu Chen's reputation as a ghost star.

Who would have thought that when Su Heng heard about this, he recommended himself, and the final result was even better than what Mo Xian imagined.

Mo Xia admitted: "He is indeed a formidable person."

Du Tingyue was noncommittal.

To her, it doesn't matter whether Su Heng is powerful or not, as long as he is loyal enough to His Highness, that's enough.

"What day is today?" Mo Xia listened to another passage, and saw that the storyteller boasted that Lu Chenzhang was the only one in the sky and nothing in the earth, so he couldn't help but want to laugh.

"My lord, today is already October tenth."

"October 10th." Mo Ya's fingers slightly bent, obviously already prepared, but the moment he heard these words, his heart skipped a beat.

The tense atmosphere filled the room with Mo Ya's silence, and just at this moment, the voices of the people stopped, and the wind also stopped.

Du Tingyue is very curious, she has a lot to ask.

How can you be sure, Young Master, that it will rain in Lingyuan County tomorrow?How did the young master know that with this rain, the three counties in the south seemed to have received the gift of heaven, and the long drought and continuous rain finally survived this natural disaster.

But Mo Ya was so sure, yet she couldn't ask.

His Highness trusts the young master so much, if she talks too much, it seems that she doubts the young master.Little did he know that Mo Ya's palms were also sweaty at this moment.

Mo Xia has been in Daliang for ten years, and many original trajectories in the book have been completely changed because of his arrival.He didn't know whether the rain on the eleventh day would change because of his arrival, so he could only pray silently.

If there is no rain on October 11th, everything he and Lu Chenzhang have set up will be in vain.

At night, Mo Xia walked around the room, passing by the window from time to time, without stopping, but kept looking out.

The sky is as dark as ever, and the stars are brighter than the moon. How can it look like it's raining?

The house was still very hot, and Lu Chenzhang was not allowed to place an ice basin, and even the draft from south to north could not dispel the dryness.

Lu Chenzhang was watching Mi Zhe, but his eyes hurt when he was shaken by Mo Xia's figure.Reluctantly put down the letter paper: "Aya, sit down and have a rest, let's have some tea."

Mo Xia sat next to Lu Chenzhang, stood up again after a while, and walked to the window with thin sweat on his forehead: "Your Highness, I'm so nervous."

Lu Chenzhang smiled: "What's there to be nervous about? The dust will settle tomorrow, so we can see the outcome."

Lu Chenzhang's calmness did not affect Mo Ya at all, but instead caused Mo Ya to feel unexplainable guilt: "Your Highness, if it doesn't rain tomorrow, what should we do?"

Didn't he harm His Highness?

"What's the matter if it doesn't rain?" Lu Chenzhang stood up directly, walked to Mo Ya, and pulled him away from the window, "Although this will cause some losses to our plan, it will not affect the overall situation after all."

Mo Xia has already released the news that the fifth prince is not a ghost star, and because of his arrival, Lingyuan County will rain for the first time on October 11th.

Since then, Lingyuan County has not been disturbed by the disaster any more, and the people are in good health.

At the beginning, Mo Xia proposed to use this method to cover up the rumors about Lu Chenzhang that Liu Yu was spreading among the people, which was opposed by many staff members of the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

Even Du Tingyue, who trusted him the most, was clearly disapproving.Not to mention Ah Si who was not used to him at all.

The south has been dry for so many days, and there is no sign of rain at all.Mo Xia has no evidence, how can he be convincing?

But Lu Chenzhang believed in Mo Ya without hesitation, and ordered Du Tingyue to obey Mo Ya's orders and spread rumors about the rain on the 11th.

Mo Xia fell asleep worriedly, and every hour, he would be woken up with a start, and before he could put on his boots, he ran to the window to watch the sky nervously.When got up the next morning, was already depressed, and eyes were black and blue.

It was almost noon, and the sun was still shining brightly in Lingyuan, and there was no sign of wind at all.

Ah Si entered the room to reply, and when he passed by Mo Xia who was standing on the porch, he looked at him with undisguised accusations.

Even Du Tingyue couldn't help asking: "My lord, will it really rain today?"

Looking at the glaring sunlight, Mo Xia became more and more uncertain, and panicked, "It should be possible."

He's not sure right now.

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, the bright sky gradually turned dark, and the dark clouds covered the sun, indicating that a storm was coming.In an instant, the downpour was unprepared and poured down.

Mo Xia has been sitting in the courtyard since the morning, and no one can shout to leave.At this time, feeling the coldness of the raindrops hitting his face, his eyes widened, and he ran into the house in a hurry, just bumping into Lu Chenzhang who was walking out.

"Your Highness, it's raining, it's really raining." Mo Xia gripped Lu Chenzhang's sleeves, pointed excitedly at the water curtain that gathered on the eaves, and trembling his lips, "Look, it's raining so hard.”

Lu Chenzhang was still calm and breezy as Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, as if he hadn't seen the big happy event, wiped the rain on Mo Ya's face with silk, and took him back to the house forcefully: "You firstGo change your clothes. Ah Si, order someone to boil hot water."

Mo Xia couldn't take care of himself, and looked at Du Tingyue, Du Yunding and others and ordered repeatedly: "Hurry up and go to the street. Have our people been arranged?"

The few people who were immersed in joy realized this, and immediately took orders to make arrangements.

Mo Xia's eyes were bent into slits: "Your Highness, we succeeded."

Lu Chenzhang warmly said: "I knew that Aya would not lie to me. But everything should be put aside now. The most important thing is that Aya should soak her hair in hot water quickly and wash her hair, so as not toInfected with the cold."

"Oh, I got it." After being reminded by Lu Chenzhang, Mo Ya felt that he was wet all over and felt uncomfortable at all.

Lu Chenzhang entered the room together with Mo Ya, looked at Mo Ya's restless eyes that were about to move, pressed his hand, and said, "Ah Ya, leave the rest to me. You don't have to worry about it."

He and Mo Xia pretended to be against each other, and everything would be exposed when the net was drawn.

Liu Yu has been operating in Lingyuan County for so many years, and it is inevitable that some sincere subordinates will jump over the wall in a hurry.

That being the case, it would be better to let Mo Xia be by his side from the very beginning, than it would be too late to regret when something happens in the future.

When Lu Chenzhang came to Lingyuan County for disaster relief this time, it was difficult and dangerous at the beginning, and he went through many disasters.Not only have to make false claims with the officials of Lingyuan County, but also beware of the traps set by Liu Yuzheng every step of the way.

However, the final result made Mo Xia very satisfied.Cui Xiayue led the army, and while Lu Chenzhang was helping the disaster, he put down the military disaster in the three counties in one go, and recruited all the mountain bandit victims who had no choice but to fall into bandits.

Mo Xia didn't know how Lu Chenzhang and Cui Xiayue treated those soldiers, but based on his thin memory, he vaguely guessed that the group of rebels would have been taken under Lu Chenzhang's command long ago, and they would become Lu Chenzhang's most powerful in the futureof the soldiers.

As for Liu Yuzheng.As soon as Lu Chenzhang and the others entered Lingyuan County, Ah Si began to secretly collect evidence about him, sorted it into a thick secret, and rushed to the capital.

With Cui Xiayue secretly dealing with him, and with his solid political achievements, Tian Shiyan took Liu Yuzheng's position logically and became the new sheriff of Lingyuan County.

Without the big mountain on his head, Tian Shiyu can be said to be the three fires of the new official's appointment. He drastically cleaned up the Lingyuan County Yamen and promulgated a series of new disaster relief policies.

Mo Xia looked at Tian Shiwan, who was full of vigor and was quite different from his previous promise, and thought to himself: the courtiers all thought that the newly appointed Governor of Tian County was recommended by Cui Xiayue and a student of Cui's family.Little did he know that he had already taken refuge in the Fifth Prince.

The three southern counties are now all in the hands of Lu Chenzhang. His Royal Highness finally got rid of the constraints of the capital, and outside of the capital, he also has his own supporters.

Lu Chenzhang waited for a few more days, until it rained one after another in the three southern counties and the disaster relief matters were completely resolved, and finally decided to return to Beijing.

On the day Lu Chenzhang left, the faces of the people were no longer fearful of the fifth prince's ghost star name, but grateful.

Since Liu Yuzheng was arrested, his evil deeds have been exposed one by one.

Due to the closure of the city, the people don't know the situation outside the city, and they only think that other places are like Lingyuan County. Although the days are difficult due to the drought, they can still barely survive.

But he didn't know that his closest relatives and friends came to Lingyuan County to join him, and died tragically outside the city due to a killing order.The corpse was exposed in the wilderness, wolves devoured it and vultures pecked at it, no one worshiped it, no one knew about it, and even the news of the death never reached the ears of the family members.

Now they had a glimpse of the truth, those people whose parents and brothers died tragically hated Liu Yuzheng so much that they only wanted to eat his blood and flesh to avenge their mortal revenge.

Despite this, there are still people who are grateful for Liu Yuzheng's kindness and try to assassinate Lu Chenzhang on the way Lu Chenzhang left.

It's just that the reckless Murano was stopped by Ah Si before he could get close to the prince.

Seeing that the assassination was unsuccessful, the woman spat in the direction of Lu Chenzhang, her protruding dark yellow eyes stared at Lu Chenzhang, her rough hands like old trees stretched forward, trying her best to get rid of Ah SiThe shackles: "You are a ghost star, an ominous person. You killed our Master Liu, but you even overturned the case for the Su family, saying that they are good people. I will kill you and avenge Master Liu."

The woman is not very educated, and she repeats a few words over and over again, ghost stars, ominous people appear frequently, and everyone is angry when they hear it.

Mo Xia frowned and looked at the woman.After a closer look, it turned out to be Aunt Liu.

Du Tingyue also recognized the woman's identity, stepped forward a few steps, and said, "Ma'am..."

Aunt Liu stared at Du Tingyue angrily, and suddenly began to cry: "The old woman thought you were a good person, so she brought you water. I didn't expect that you were the helpers of the fifth prince, and you killed Mr. Liu. What is this old woman doing?"What a crime, how can you have the face to meet the child's father when you turn around?"

Many people around who had their families ruined by the killing could not stand it, and they all spoke out to dissuade them: "This aunt, Mrs. Liu is the one who is guilty. How many people were killed by his killing order? How many parents and brothers are there?Died outside the city? If His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince hadn't been doing harm to the people, we don't know how long it would be hidden from everyone. Why do you blame His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince instead?"

"that is."

"Lord Liu is a corrupt official who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong. His Highness the Fifth Prince's actions will only benefit our Lingyuan County."

...

Seeing that she couldn't say it, Aunt Liu cried and made noises, her shrill voice lingered: "So what? Mr. Liu made our family full, he is a good person. You don't know what to do, but my wife understands. The Su family,He is the greatest villain."

Mo Xia looked at Aunt Liu from the side, and wanted to open her mouth, but finally just sighed.

He knew it was impossible to reason with such a person.

Su Heng stepped forward and stared at Aunt Liu, the hatred in his eyes solidified, making the scars on his face even more horrifying: "Assassinate the prince, you will punish the nine clans."

Every word was clanging and resounding, like nine days of ice, Mrs. Liu's words were frozen deep in her throat before she could leave her mouth.

Lu Chenzhang watched the farce with his hands behind his back, and just as Su Heng finished speaking, he said softly, "Let's go."

After speaking, he got into the carriage first.

After Mrs. Liu made such a fuss, perhaps because she was frightened by the word Zhu Jiuzu, the people dared not do it again.

Seeing the wheels of the car rolling, they all consciously gave way.

Seeing Mo Ya's gloomy expression, Lu Chenzhang pushed a plate of pastries in front of Mo Ya's eyes: "Ah Ya, no matter how clear the world is, there will always be people who fool the uneducated people. People who are stubborn are not worth your trouble."
