Rebirth of the best emperor

Chapter 154 The adults spare your life
At the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin State, the country was ruled by law, and the spirit of social contracts was very important. All signed contracts had strict restrictions on both parties in the clauses.

breach of contract?Yes, as long as you act according to the contract you signed at the beginning.

Up to now, there is still a yamen in the imperial court that specializes in handling contract disputes, called the Contract Department. However, the Great Qin Dynasty has been established for thousands of years, the local tyrants are powerful, and gentry from all walks of life continue to break the rules. The Contract Department has already existed in name only.

But the spirit of the contract is still there, and the signing of the contract also has corresponding regulations, especially the contract signed with the government, which is formulated according to the standards set by the contract department.

Of course, most of the time, this kind of contract is useless, so many people forget that while signing a contract to enjoy rights, you also need to perform obligations.

It's not that the servants of the Lu Mansion don't know that their unauthorized departure will cause a breach of contract, but the long-term habit of thinking has made most of them forget this, and a few of them who remember think that they have the support of the Zhao family behind them, so they don't need to care at all This contract, no matter how big the contract is, is it bigger than the Zhao family?

But now, Lu Yuanliang knew the horses and horses, and wanted to investigate their responsibility for breach of contract, and everyone was dumbfounded immediately.

Steward Lu sneered at the people in the courtyard, and with a wave of his hand, a group of servants surrounded the servants. Steward Lu said expressionlessly, "Everyone, according to the laws of the Great Qin, if you don't fulfill the terms of the contract, you will be sentenced to three years in prison." .”

Steward Lu's words became the last straw that overwhelmed all the servants. Many servants turned their gazes to the last middle-aged man in the crowd.

"Zhao San, Mr. Lu wants to investigate our breach of contract, what should we do now?"

"Zhao San, how dare you harm us!"

"Zhao San, you were the one who bewitched the matter, and you came up with the idea. Now Lord Lu wants the big guy to pay you back, so you pay the money!"

"That is, since you let everyone leave the Lu residence, you naturally knew the consequences long ago. Now that Mr. Lu wants you to lose money, you must have prepared the money."

"Zhao San, I asked you before, what should the Lu family do if we are held accountable for our breach of contract? You said that everything is up to the Zhao family. Now that the Lu family has pursued it, what about the Zhao family?"

"That's right, you said that Mr. Lu offended the Zhao family, and you won't be able to stay in Xinyang for long. You also said that the Zhao family let the big guy leave the Lu mansion, and show Mr. Lu some color. What do you do now? You are talking!"

"..." What can Zhao San say? He is just a side branch of a distant branch of the Zhao family, and he has nothing to do with the Zhao family. No Zhao family will find him and let him fan the flames in Lu's residence.

With so many testimonies, Lu Yuan and the others naturally saw this sly-eyed guy in the crowd. Lu Yuan pointed at Zhao San and asked, "What is the origin of this Zhao San?"

Steward Lu frowned, and said: "This is a cook from the kitchen. He always claims to be a distant branch of the Zhao family. Originally, everyone in the house regarded him as a braggart and a joke. I never thought that he was really a The Zhao family."

"You don't even know that a Zhao family has infiltrated the house. How did you do it as a housekeeper!" Lu Yuan snorted. Fortunately, he is just a cook. If he is an important position such as an accountant and nurse, he doesn't know. How much damage this person will bring to the Lu Mansion.

Butler Lu smiled wryly. How could he know that this Zhao San would really belong to the Zhao family? If the last name is Zhao, he must be from the Zhao family, right?Then the Zhao family is really worthless.

Wang Mang said at this time: "I guess this person is just a pawn of the Zhao family. If it is really the Zhao family, how could it be exposed so easily."

"Yes, yes." The butler nodded quickly, and Lu Yuan gave the butler a hard look.

Wang Mang raised his eyebrows and said, "According to the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, what crime should one who purposely incite the common people gather to make trouble?"

"Based on the extent of the crowd gathering to make trouble, for a small scene like the one in front of you, according to the law, you should hit [-] boards and serve hard labor for half a year." Lu Yuan was very familiar with the laws of the Great Qin and blurted out.

"Butler, don't take anyone to fight!" Wang Mang looked at the butler.

Steward Lu's eyes lit up and he beckoned. A group of people immediately swarmed up and pulled Zhao San out of the crowd. Zhao San looked at the vicious servants around him and shouted: "What do you want to do? Behind me is The Zhao family in Nanyang!"

The yamen servants here are basically not locals. They were temporarily transferred by Lu Yuan from the county soldiers. The local yamen servant Lu Yuan shouted, otherwise Lu Yuan couldn't guarantee that everyone would be with him. Water is a big joke.

Although the Zhao family is like thunder to these government servants, after all, they are not locals, and they have no fear of the Zhao family. Anyway, it is the county magistrate who ordered that if there is anything, the county magistrate will carry it. Although a group of them wear Wearing the clothes of government servants, but they are actually big soldiers, at worst, they can be soldiers in another place.

No matter how Zhao San screamed or threatened, these yamen servants did not move at all. As for the other servants, they wanted to snatch Zhao San back, but the surrounding yamen servants lit up their weapons and turned off the fire immediately. A few words are also deeply rooted in people's hearts.

"Zhao San, according to the laws of the Great Qin Dynasty, those who incite people to gather and make trouble shall be punished with [-] boards and hard labor for half a year!" Steward Lu sneered, waved his hand at the surrounding yamen servants, and said, "Beat me!"

"No, I'm from the Zhao family, you can't hit me!"

"The Zhao family will not let you go!"

"Master Lu, Grandpa Lu, I was wrong, the little one was wrong, please let the little one go!"

Zhao San's face turned pale, with his small body, the [-]th board would have cost him half his life, let alone half a year of hard labor.

However, no matter how Zhao San yelled, the servants would not listen to him. Two thick servants lifted Zhao Sanyi, pushed him to the ground, pulled off his trousers, revealing two petals of white flesh, and another two servants held killing sticks. , one on the left and one on the right, each spit, raised their sticks, and hit them down.

clap clap clap!
Whoops!

The sound of the stick hitting the flesh, interspersed with Zhao San's screams, could be heard in the courtyard. Wang Mang and others watched all this with a blank expression, while the servants in the courtyard who also watched all this turned pale , a few timid ones even fell to the ground, and they were all stupid!
"My lord, the [-]th board is over!" A yamen servant smiled and cupped his hands at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan glanced at Zhao San, who had already fainted, and said with a sneer, "Drag this person, and when he wakes up, send him directly to the labor camp for hard labor."

"Yes, my lord." The yamen servant nodded quickly, and said with a smile: "Would you like to tell the hard labor camp and give this kid some trouble."

"You can figure it out." Lu Yuan was noncommittal, then looked at the servants in the courtyard, and said: "Keep a few people, keep them under surveillance, and act according to the letter of appointment. Those who pay the money can leave, and those who dare to escape , directly killed!"

"Yes." The yamen servants nodded with a smile.

"Everyone, I heard that there are some profiteers in the market recently who bully the market and do illegal things. Today, the officials will make decisions for the people and punish these profiteers. Except for the yamen servants who are left behind to watch these people, everyone else will follow me!" Lu Yuan murderously Teng Teng opened his mouth and walked out first.
