Chapter 280 The Voice Over the Strings

The people in Chang'an all heard that the Tubo people beat people in the street and all demanded severe punishment for the murderer. What? The Tubo people who beat people were beaten to death by Ankang County Duke and were seriously injured and did not know what to do?

Bah! I deserve it! This is the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an! Can the Tubo people still be domineering? They didn't suffer the loss of Tubo on the battlefield, but they can suffer the loss of Tubo in Chang'an City?

I have to say that the businessman in Ankang County is beautiful! The rumor that Ankang County Gong is also very skilled in martial arts, but it is true! Ankang County Gong is really both civil and military!

Moreover, Ankang County Gong is kind-hearted! He covered all the medical expenses for the treatment without saying a word!

In fact, Su Cheng not only covered all the medical expenses for the injured people's medical treatment, but also planned to give them lost work and nutritional expenses, etc.

After all, these people are also acting for him, Su Cheng is not disappointed. Moreover, Su Cheng is really not short of money.

Money is just a number to him.

The people of Chang'an praised Su Cheng, and even Empress Changsun praised Su Cheng's actions. Although Li Shimin didn't say anything, he felt that Su Cheng was doing very beautifully.

The cause of the incident was very obvious, because there was an argument because of buying wine, and the Tubo people were the first to hit people.

Lu Dongzan entered the palace to see the emperor, and his attitude was very low. While apologizing for guilt, he also took the initiative to ask for compensation to the injured people of the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, he also described how badly the Tubo warriors who had taken action were beaten by Ankang County Duke, and said that they would be severely punished after they recovered.

Not only that, Lu Dongzan really did it, visiting the injured people in person, and also paying a lot of compensation. Even the censor who is best at provoking stings in the court cannot provoke them.

Even the trend of discussion in Chang'an City has changed, and everyone no longer scolds the Tubo people. After all, fighting happens from time to time due to quarrels, and Tubo is really good at doing a great job.

In the Duke's Mansion, Su Cheng listened to Xue Rengui's report and sighed: "Lu Dongzan is really not simple. He is so tolerant and can bend and stretch. He is worthy of being the prime minister of Tubo!"

In fact, what Su Cheng wants to say is that he is a historical celebrity, but indeed he is not a simple person.

Xue Rengui nodded and said, "This man is also a good person, and he is indeed tolerant. Those injured people praised Lu Dongzan after visiting him. He heard that His Majesty also praised Lu Dongzan very much."

Su Cheng nodded and said, "Your Majesty really admires Lu Dongzan very much. I heard that he still wants to keep Lu Dongzan as an official in the Tang Dynasty."

This is not a strange thing. There are many foreigners serving as officials in the Tang Dynasty, especially in the army. For foreigners, being able to become officials in the Tang Dynasty is also a glory.

As he was speaking, someone came to report: "Mr. Duke, Lu Dongzan, the great prime minister of Tubo, asked for a meeting."

Su Cheng was stunned when he heard this. The relationship between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty was still relatively stiff. Although Tubo was defeated, he did not express his surrender.

At this time, Lu Dongzan, as a Tubo, was asking for a private meeting with the ministers in the court, which was a very taboo thing.

Su Cheng immediately said, "I won't see you, tell him, I don't have time to see him!"

Outside the door of the mansion, Lu Dongzan was not surprised to hear the reply from the doorman and laughed loudly: "Please tell the Duke of Ankang County that I have no other intention to visit. I just want to apologize. I hope the Duke of the Duke of the County can take a look at me for my sincerity!"

The people on the street couldn't help but sigh that this great minister was really a responsible person. Not only did he visit the injured people, he even came to the county palace to apologize in person.

Although this Tubo prime minister was a foreigner, he was also an open and honest person.

When Su Cheng heard the doorman's report again, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Lu Dongzan actually saw him with the name of apology, which made him not disappointed.

Now Lu Dongzan has a good reputation among the people of Chang'an and the court. If he insists on not seeing each other, it will make people feel that Su Cheng is petty.

"Forget it, please ask him to the front hall!" Su Cheng said lightly.

"The big shot is here to visit, and the glory is shining!" Su Cheng said with a smile on his face.

"I'm here to apologize today. If they hadn't been able to get out of bed, I would have asked them to come and take the thorns and apologize!" Lu Dongzan said sincerely.

"You are polite to Da Xiang. I appreciate Da Xiang's handling of the government and the people, and I also appreciate it!" Su Cheng said with a smile.

"I feel very guilty when these bastards smashed the county duke's shop. I just think it's my apology. I hope the county duke must accept it, otherwise I will feel uneasy." Lu Dongzan said sincerely.

"Well, since the great prime minister said that, I will accept it and invite it from the great prime minister." Su Cheng said with a smile.

The servants served tea, Lu Dongzan took a sip and exclaimed: "Good tea, good tea, I have never tasted such good tea in my life!"

Su Cheng smiled faintly. This was the Longjing before the Ming Dynasty. After the New Year, he sent people trusted in the mansion to go south to select the best tea leaves. Only then did he make a batch of Longjing before the Ming Dynasty, which had just been transported to Chang'an, and even Li Shimin hadn't tasted it.

After savoring a few sips, Lu Dongzan couldn't help but sigh: "The Duke of the County probably has a brilliant heart! No matter what kind of sutra, the Duke of the County has become a unique person in the world! Just like the fine wine with a knife, it is also the best wine in the world, which has attracted the attention of the world."

Su Cheng shook his head and said, "Actually, the thing I regret the most is brewing a fine wine with a knife."

Lu Dongzan said in surprise: "Oh, what's the solution?"

"Everyone loves wine, but how could I know that brewing a stoke knife requires a lot of food, so I have never expanded the scale, and I dare not reveal the secret recipe, so I set the rules for limited sales." Su Cheng explained lightly.

Lu Dongzan suddenly said, "So that's it! I'm wondering why the county guild set such a rule. It turns out that the county guild is the heart of the bodhisattva!"

"Everyone loves money. It is admirable that the county magistrate has made such a rule!"

Su Cheng smiled and waved his hand, "Money is just a number. There are many ways to make money, so why bother to make wine? When Da Xiang leaves Chang'an, I will ask someone to prepare a few carriages for Da Xiang."

Lu Dongzan bowed his hands slightly and smiled, "Then I would like to thank the county magistrate for your kindness!"

"What the county duke said is that money is just something outside of the body. A real man should not be without power for a day, and money is the second. The Tang Dynasty is really a brilliant person, and it can actually give birth to a talent like a county duke."

"I am in the position of great prime minister, but I believe that my talents are far inferior to those of the county duke. If the county duke was born in Tubo, there would be no possibility of mediocre people like me as a prefect."

"If there were even a talented man like the county duke in Tubo, he would definitely be one person below one person and above ten thousand people!"
