Allure emperor medical concubine

Chapter 731 Don't cry without seeing the coffin

cry poor?Lu Xiaoning looked at County Magistrate Zhu. He was wearing an old official robe, the cuffs and collar were fluffy, and the black boots on his feet had faded to grayish black. They were indeed quite shabby.

If County Magistrate Zhu had never colluded with the Three Tribulations Sect, Lu Xiaoning might have just put a question mark on his crying for poverty, but now... Lu Xiaoning is sure that County Magistrate Zhu is trying to cover up, and the better the superficial skills, the bigger the problem.

"Financial difficulties? Can't even support the water dragon bureau? County magistrate Zhu, get up and sit aside." Lu Xiaoning said

The county magistrate Zhu had heard that there was still room for him to get up, so he thought he could get away with it, and was about to get up, but who knew that Lu Xiaoning said next: "Come on, let me search the back office."

County Magistrate Zhu's knees suddenly softened, and he knelt down again. He was shocked and said, "Master Imperial Envoy, why...why is this?"

"I also want to know why, magistrate Zhu, please be safe and don't be impatient. If you find nothing later, I will personally pour tea for you to make amends. If you find something in the search, hehe, county magistrate Zhu should know what he is doing." What crime did you commit?" Lu Xiaoning said slowly.

How about she just like that?Search first.If this county magistrate Zhu is okay

With a wave of Zhao Mingcheng's hand, the soldiers below rushed into the back office like wolves and tigers.

"My lord, my lord, you can't do this, you are humiliating this official." County magistrate Zhu burst into tears in cold sweat. In the evening, a box of Dongzhu sent by Sanjiejiao, because my concubine liked it, let her play with it first, before confiscating it into the small treasury. Just this box of Dongzhu, six round and huge Donghai Pearls are enough He drank a jug.

Lu Xiaoning sneered coldly: "So what if you are humiliated? I am ordered to investigate and deal with corrupt officials, not to mention humiliation, even if it is done on the spot."

County Magistrate Zhu wept bitterly: "This official has always loved the people like a son, is honest and honest, and is well-known. The official admits that the failure to put out the fire in time is the official's dereliction of duty, but the official is really helpless. Please be careful."

Lu Xiaoning didn't bother to talk to him, so he still let him howl, now it's a fake cry, I believe he won't even be able to cry later.

The prison in the county yamen, the warden, the court book, and the team leader were all looking outside, scared to death, this imperial envoy was not kind, and immediately searched as soon as he came, this is the end of the master.

Seeing this, the team leader went away and quietly retreated.

Not long after, the officers and soldiers in charge of the search came out with a lot of things.

There are antique calligraphy and paintings, all kinds of antiques, gold and silver jewelry, the value is quite considerable, especially there is a box of East China Sea pearls, all round and plump, shiny, and the six are of the same size and quality, which is very rare.Because grandma loves the Pearl of the East China Sea very much, Lu Xiaoning knows the Pearl of the East Sea quite well.Taking one out for money is enough to cover the expenses of the Water Dragon Bureau for a year.

County Magistrate Zhu felt a little relieved when he saw that there were only these things. His small vault in the secret room was not found.He still has excuses for these things.

"My lord, I can explain this to you. This Dongzhu was rewarded by the guests when the concubine of the official was a singer, not from the official. Those gold and silver jewelry were also accumulated by her in the past. As for These antique calligraphy and paintings are all ancestral in the Xiaguan family. Because I love them too much and don’t worry about putting them in my hometown, I take them with me. Xiaguan is really an upright official. I dare not go beyond the standard." Master Zhu said sincerely.

One of Zhao Mingcheng's soldiers said: "My lord, the concubine of the county lord said that the county lord played for her."

Slapped on the spot.

County magistrate Zhu wiped off his sweat and said, "The concubine of a low official is not sensible, and she thought that she could keep things by saying that she is a low official, this silly woman, just tell the truth!"

Lu Xiaoning sneered again and again, this County Magistrate Zhu's skin was thicker than that of a pig.

"Go and ask the county master's concubine to write a statement and print her fingerprints, and she must tell the truth." Lu Xiaoning said to the soldier.

The soldiers were ordered to find the county master's concubine.

County magistrate Zhu is on the verge of crying, is he really going to do that?That stupid woman didn't know how to cooperate at all, she only knew how to dress up all day long.

"My lord, General Zhao invites you to go over, and the county master to go with me." Another soldier came to report.

Lu Xiaoning raised his eyebrows, it seems that brother Mingcheng found something good.

Lu Xiaoning squinted at the shivering county magistrate Zhu, and said, "Magistrate Zhu, let's go together."

Magistrate Zhu's legs were as if they had been filled with lead, and he couldn't move his legs at all. What a pity, the small treasury must have been discovered.

Lu Xiaoning gave his subordinates a wink, and the two guards went up to the back office with Magistrate Zhu on their backs.

When everyone came to the study of County Magistrate Zhu, they saw a row of bookshelves opened like a door, and inside was a secret room. Lu Xiaoning walked in, and couldn't help but catch his breath, but saw several large boxes in the secret room. The lock has been pried off, and the lid is open there, shining brightly, all gold and silver, rare treasures, roughly estimated, at least a few hundred thousand taels.

Zhao Mingcheng coldly glanced at the magistrate Zhu who was waving non-stop, and gave Lu Xiaoning the brochure in his hand.

"Magistrate Zhu doesn't have a very good memory. I'm afraid I'll forget who gave him a gift, and I'm afraid I won't know whether it's the defendant or the plaintiff, so I remember them all. I also remember the ones he gave gifts to the boss."

Lu Xiaoning flipped through it casually, and said with a smile: "Magistrate Zhu is really an upright official, I remember clearly that you are an upright official, you are so rich and bubbling, and you wear such shabby clothes all day long, I am so wronged, it's a pity, you will die Yes, the silver has not been spent yet."

County magistrate Zhu plopped down on his knees: "Master Imperial Envoy, please forgive me, please forgive me, I will never dare again, I will definitely reform from now on, and please forgive me once again, I would like to honor both of you with all these things. grown ups……"

"You are bribing the imperial envoy, and you have added another crime." Lu Xiaoning said contemptuously.

"My lord, there is a squad leader outside asking to see me."

Lu Xiaoning said: "Let him in."

Could it be that the people in the county government came to add insult to injury when they saw that the county master was going to be in trouble?

The team leader came into the room and knelt down to report: "I would like to report to the imperial envoy that the county magistrate is black and white. Especially last night, a fire destroyed countless houses, 39 people died, and more than a dozen people were missing and their whereabouts are unknown. The younger relatives were also buried in the fire last night. The imperial envoy came today. I would like to expose the crimes of the county lord, and ask the imperial envoy to make decisions for the people of Cangshan, and to return Cangshan County to a bright and sunny day."

Lu Xiaoning was overjoyed, the evidence of collusion with the cult was what she wanted most: "Oh? Really? The magistrate of the county colluded with the cult, do you have evidence?"
