Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 733

Hear the dense footsteps.

Lu Gengshi's heart trembled.

The emperor is here? ? ?

At that moment, he felt his whole body was stiff, the crossbow in his hand almost fell to the ground, a chill crawled up his back, his whole body seemed to be frozen.

Nearly a thousand servants blocked this street. This road was built by them to show their identities. The three sides of the road are houses, and the end point is their door. The servants can easily cut off their backs. Road, besieging them on this road that belongs exclusively to Junhou's family.

The county officials who were besieged in the middle were all in a bit of a panic at the moment. They faced the enemies on all sides, with some fear in their eyes, swayed their bodies slightly, and looked at the enemies in front of them.

Chao Cuo stood at the forefront, holding a long sword, staring at Lu Gengshi calmly.

Just when Lu Gengshi couldn't move at all, the people in the distance gradually became clearly visible.

It was a large group of literati, including Confucian scholars, Huang Lao, and different ages. They were all holding swords, and they were slowly approaching here. The strong crossbow in Li made a threat.

Lu Gengshi tremblingly asked: "Who is this person? Who is it?"

"Jun Hou is a county sergeant."

"County sergeants. Scholars."

Only then did Lu Gengshi feel his whole body warm up, and he gained strength again. At that moment just now, he was really scared to death. He thought it was the emperor who came suddenly. He hasn't cleaned up his criminal evidence yet. There are a large number of people who need to be silenced, and there are still a lot of cultivated land and houses that need to be clarified. Of course, there are still a lot of properties that need to be hidden. It will take time. If His Majesty comes now, it will be a disaster.

"What are the county sergeants doing here?! Drive them out!!"

"Bullshit!!"

When Lu Gengshi was so frightened, he suddenly became angry from embarrassment, and immediately gave orders.

The steward of the Lu Mansion hurriedly passed by, rushed all the way to the intersection, and yelled at the scholars: "Your Majesty is working on business!! Get out of here!!"

The scholars just looked at him seriously and didn't speak. They were still approaching step by step, completely ignoring the steward and the servants behind him.

The housekeeper was furious, "When did these Bai Ding dare to ignore our Marquis Mansion?"

He suddenly grabbed the crossbow from the side, aimed it at a distance, and just shot an arrow.

The arrow flew over the heads of the crowd, and the footsteps of the scholars stopped immediately.

The steward put down the crossbow and cursed: "If you attack the House of Four Horses, you will be innocent even if you are killed! If you know good or bad, get out of here!! One more step forward! No one will be left!!"

Chao Cuo, who was confronting the servant, also noticed the situation here, but he did not expect that he would still have reinforcements.

Lu Gengshi couldn't wait any longer, he waved his hand, "Hurry up!"

Those scholars in the distance watched this scene calmly, and the leader slowly drew out his long sword.

"Your lords, we are all educated. Although the schools are different, we all know right from wrong. This Mansion of Wu Dao has humiliated us in various ways all year round. They even demolished the temple built for the genius doctor Xia Gong. , Changed his name, and gave it to Old Bandit Lu to flatter him, and he said that it was donated by the scholars in the city. Is Old Bandit Lu worthy to build a temple?! Although I don’t like Duke Chao, Duke Chao came to the county to share with the people. No criminals, rectify traitors, eliminate rangers, eradicate tyrants. He is an upright county magistrate. Now there are villains who want to bully and kill the county magistrate in the street. If we do nothing, we are not worthy of the sage books we have read these years?! "

"Today is to die for the king! Today is to die for the virtue!"

As the man spoke, he took a step forward, and the rest of the scholars followed. At this moment, they completely ignored the crossbows on the opposite side, and quickly pressed on them. He sped up his speed, was in a hurry, and didn't even have time to shoot an arrow. He yelled and hid among the servants. The servant quickly collided with the scholar. Both sides were relatively restrained at this moment. In the pushing stage, the fight did not start directly.

Lu Gengshi was also shocked by this turn of events.

These cynics don't come sooner or later, do they have to add trouble at this time? !

"Grand Lu!! We are here!!!"

There was a roar in the distance, and I saw a dense group of people rushing towards him. They held weapons and looked tall and strong. The charge came in a chaotic manner, and even the scholars were quickly surrounded by them.

For a while, the scene became extremely chaotic.

It seems that there is no room for so many people in this narrow passage.

Lu Gengshi didn't feel happy because of their arrival, on the contrary, he was even more angry, and there was another wave of chaos, how can we fight this?
"Let them back! Make Chao Cuo and them back!! Don't fight here!! If there is a fight, just trampling, I don't know how many people will die!!"

Lu Gengshi didn't like a chaotic situation. If Chao Cuo were to be killed by himself in a fight under such circumstances, something serious would happen.

As expected of Lu Gengshi, he had been in the Southern Army. Under his order, the crowd began to retreat towards the rear continuously. Chao Cuo was also among the crowd, looking at the enemy in front of him vigilantly. Two officials stood in front of him. , The enemy's spears almost hit their faces, they blocked with their weapons, and retreated again and again.Chao Cuo didn't understand military affairs, and he was inferior to Lu Gengshi on the opposite side in terms of command. After a long time, everyone finally separated from the enemy and came to a relatively spacious intersection. Those scholars stood beside Chao Cuo, looking Seriously, while the rest stood by Lu Gengshi's side, the two sides confronted each other again.

Lu Gengshi breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to order again.

But I saw people slowly appearing on both sides of the intersection. These people popped their heads secretly and looked towards this side. In the restaurant in the distance, I could also see a few pairs of eyes staring at this place.

"Send someone to block the intersection, and no one is allowed to approach!"

Lu Gengshi ordered.

He was upset at the moment, pulled off his collar, and walked forward quickly, "Chao Cuo!! You bastard, when you were in the temple, the officials wanted to kill you, Now that we have arrived at the place, it still makes the chickens and dogs restless. You are such a thief! You really deserve to be quartered by five horses!!!!"

"Naigong is not used to you, even if he dies, he has to take you with him!!"

"I'll say it one last time!! Except for Chao Cuo, anyone can leave. If you stay here!! I'll kill your whole family!! Kill your whole family!!! No one will stay!!!"

"I am the nephew of the Empress Dowager!! I am the Marquis of the Great Han Dynasty!! I am the surname Zhong Tianxia!!!"

Lu Gengshi roared almost venting. He stared at Chao Cuo in the distance, "You only have more than 100 old, weak, sick and disabled, and I have 2000 people here!! If you don't want them all to be buried with you, let They go back! For your useless political achievements, for your personal reputation, are you going to take so many lives?! Chao Cuo!! How vicious are you?!"

Chao Cuo laughed.

"Why is the Lord so afraid?"

"If it's vicious, it's not as good as Junhou. Junhou has allowed his family members to commit murder all these years, and even any medical clinics and counties have become properties under the name of Junhou. You are dead."

"Hahaha!!"

Lu Gengshi laughed, "Am I afraid? Are you afraid?"

"kill!!!"

Lu Gengshi gave an order, but the housekeeper next to him grabbed him. The housekeeper's eyes were full of horror. He looked around and his voice trembled a little.

"Junhou. Junhou"

Lu Gengshi pushed him away angrily, and looked around.

On the road, at some point, a large number of people appeared, including old and young, men and women, farmers, and merchants. They slowly gathered on the side of the road, some with sticks in their hands, some with With hoes, there are merchants with poles and even a few children with stones in their hands.

"What are these untouchables trying to do?! Rebellion?! Are they going to rebel?!"

"Kill! Kill!!"

The uneasiness in Lu Gengshi's heart seemed to be extreme, he began to tremble, pointing at the mob, his eyes were full of surprise and grief.

The people approached cautiously, holding all kinds of weapons. Some farmers opened their doors, and some merchants walked out of restaurants. They appeared from all directions, and they appeared around without a sound. They didn't speak. , just looked coldly at those servants, those high-ranking big shots.

Chao Cuo laughed again.

"Does Lu Gengshi know them?"

"They are all your acquaintances."

"You seized the cultivated land, you robbed the farmers who starved to kill their children, and you robbed them of their property, and you drove up the price of medicines, and you sold the enrollment places for the children of those who watched their loved ones die without medical treatment. The heirs of upright officials who disappeared because their parents impeached your family. They are all people who have been persecuted by you!!! Do you know them?!"

Lu Gengshi took a few steps back, his eyes filled with horror.

"I've never been like this! I've never been like this!!"

The people rushed over from all directions, and the number was increasing, the entire road was surrounded by them, they were still approaching, and there was no end in sight.

Chao Cuo came here and rectified a lot. Although he never got close to the people, his deeds earned them great respect.And the usual behavior of the Lu family has already brought them to the brink of explosion.

When the two started fighting in the street, the people no longer chose to shrink their heads.

At this moment, they were silent, and the anger that they usually suppressed slowly burned in their chests.

They looked fearless, even scarier and braver than Liu Chang.

Those servants under Lu Gengshi's command were also shaken at this moment. Looking at the densely packed, tens of thousands of enemies, it was impossible to see how many enemies there were. They were extremely afraid in their hearts. There are big people outside, doing whatever they want, why did they put these untouchables in their eyes, Chao Cuo led the people, and began to approach slowly, Lu Gengshi once again experienced the feeling of being swallowed by great fear, and at this moment, this feeling just made him He feels angry.

I can be afraid of His Majesty, but how can I be afraid of these pariahs?

These people are not worthy of my shoes! !
"kill!!!"

There was a sudden burst of shouts of killing among the silent people, and immediately, the sea of ​​people swallowed Lu Gengshi's men and horses.

Lu Gengshi's whole body was stiff, and he stood there in a daze.

The servant next to him let out a scream, and the housekeeper tried his best to protect him. A stone hit Lu Gengshi hard on the face. Lu Gengshi didn't even feel much pain. This general from the Southern Army, at this moment Facing Wang Yang, he completely forgot how to command. Those arrogant servants fell to the ground on weekdays, crying and begging for mercy, and kowtowed constantly. On the ground, several farmers kicked them one by one. They shouted for help, but it didn't help.

Several women held a big paunchy patriarch, pinned him to the ground, and took out the scissors with a wry smile.

Chao Cuo watched this scene calmly.

He didn't feel happy, and felt extremely heavy.

The officials were a little panicked, "Grand Chao!! Stop them quickly! Otherwise, it will easily trigger civil uprisings!!"

Chao Cuo asked calmly: "Have you ever done anything wrong?"

"No never."

Chao Cuo didn't speak any more, the officials were terrified, seeing the miserable situation in front of them, their eyes twitched.

After an unknown amount of time, Chao Cuo jumped onto a chariot and shouted loudly, "Everyone!!!"

The surrounding people hurriedly stopped, and the soldiers began to rush into the crowd, grabbing out the beaten criminals.

"These people can't die now!"

"I want to review their mistakes! Deal with them one by one!!"

"Everyone go back to your home now!! Wait for the result of my disposal!!"

Chao Cuo ordered loudly, and the gathered people began to leave reluctantly. They came very quickly, and they also left very quickly. When they left, there were bloodstains and corpses all over the intersection. , and those criminals who were beaten terribly. The soldiers found Lu Gengshi from among them and brought them to Chao Cuo.

At this moment, Lu Gengshi had already been beaten beyond recognition, and he was so weak that he couldn't get up without the support of soldiers.

The butler was directly beaten to death.

Chao Cuo laughed, "Did you ever think about today when you allowed them to commit crimes and bully the villagers unscrupulously?"

Lu Gengshi was obviously speechless, his whole body was staggering, his eyes were dull.

With a big wave of his hand, Chao Cuo escorted him back to the county.

When he brought Lu Gengshi back to the county government, he was surprised to find that Liu Jia hadn't left yet.

Liu Jia watched the soldiers transporting the prisoners in a carriage, but stood not far away, frowning.

"It's a bad thing, it's a bad thing."

"The queen mother's close relatives have been beaten up like this by you."

Chao Cuo was not afraid at all, "Anyway, he will die sooner or later, why is Mr. Liu still here?"

Liu Jia took out the document from his arms and threw it to Chao Cuo.

"what is this?"

"Arrest warrant, allowing you to arrest wealthy families from all over the world."

Chao Cuo was a little surprised, but quickly put away the order, "Mr. Liu figured it out so quickly?"

"I'm afraid that if I can't figure it out anymore, you should call the people to beat me."

Liu Jia raised his head, "It's going to be bad luck for me to follow you now. There are more than a dozen wealthy families, how can I survive alone."

"You are the sheriff of a place, nothing can't be restrained."

Liu Jia smiled wryly, "I hope, anyway, things have already started, I'm not afraid, at most I will be dismissed. Anyway, there have never been a few county guards in this place who can start well and finish well, and it's not bad." I have this one."

"Don't worry. I will definitely let you die well."

There was a rough voice in the distance.

Liu Jia trembled all over, he knew the voice, he raised his head suddenly, and saw the group of people in the distance.

Liu Chang did not know when he appeared on the opposite side, and at the moment he was looking at the officials with bruised noses and swollen faces, he couldn't help raising his head to look at Chao Cuo, "Why don't you call me for fighting? I can also fight a few of."

"His Majesty!!!"

The officials of Qiao County knelt in the courtyard, and none of them dared to raise their heads.

Liu Chang sat on the upper seat and looked at them very calmly.

"You guys are not bad here. When I first came here, I saw that you got along well with the local nobles. The common people are so enthusiastic. They hug and hug those people. The relationship between you here is very harmonious. I wanted to hold a sports meeting in Chang'an, but I didn't expect that Chang'an hadn't finished yet, but you did it here. Everyone from young and old came to participate. It was very lively. Chao Cuo, you managed well. The people eat well, and the boxing is quite good. Strong, if not for Naigong standing far away, I'm afraid I would have been punched by him a few times."

Hearing His Majesty's sarcasm, the officials were terrified to the extreme.

Liu Jia said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, this matter is true."

"Okay, you bastard, you are still my clansman, you don't even have any blood, you just watch those dogs surnamed Lu bully your officials?"

Lu Lu's face darkened.

Liu Jia heard that Liu Chang didn't mean to blame, so he mustered up his courage, "Your Majesty!! There are many wealthy families in Pei County, and the common people are fish and meat, and they do all kinds of evil. Among them, those with the surnames of Liu and Lu are very evil, but my ministers don't care about it. Handy"

"What? You can't kill someone whose surname is Liu? Can't control someone whose surname is Lu?!"

Liu Chang was furious, "I'll give you five days to bring these bastards to me, otherwise I'll hang you up and beat you, and you'll definitely be worse than Lu Gengshi!!"

"only!!"

Now that Liu Jia had Liu Chang's support, he was not afraid at all, got up hastily, and left here in a hurry.

Only then did Liu Chang look at the other officials, "You are not bad, you dare to arrest thousands of people with less than a hundred people! Lu! Everyone will be rewarded with a hundred gold!"

Lu Lu's face looked even darker.

Liu Chang waved his hand, Chao Cuo skillfully sat beside Liu Chang, Liu Chang looked at him, "Is it not hurt?"

"Never."

"I can't see that your prestige among the people is not bad?"

"It was His Majesty who asked me to take charge of the winter clothes earlier. The people in the world are very grateful. This is not because of my prestige, but because of your majesty's benevolence."

When Liu Chang heard this, he smiled happily.

"you are right!!"

"Sure enough, it is the right behavior to ask you to go to the place to sharpen your skills. You have finally begun to have the qualifications of a virtuous minister."

"It's all because of His Majesty's instruction!"

"Hahaha, good, famous minister! You have the qualifications of a famous minister!!"
