Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

"Well...it seems not...no..."

Lu Chen smiled coldly: "So your county government didn't even try them, just hung them up in public, tortured them to death, and didn't even give them a chance to speak out?"

Hearing this, Cai Kun suddenly trembled and his face was like chaff.

"Sir...this...this..."

His mind was racing, trying desperately to think of what to say.

Lu Chen didn't give him time to think about how to argue.

He suddenly took a step forward and walked to the two people's heads, his eyes were cold.

"More than a dozen decent people, the backbone of more than a dozen families, in less than half a day, you say they are a mob, they are a mob, show them to the public when you say it, kill them when you say it, what a great courage! The efficiency of the Taihe County Government , It’s really an eye-opener for me.”

After hearing these sarcastic words, the two of them didn't even dare to raise their heads.

"Sir...Sir, please calm down...little..."

"My Lord asked me... I really don't know how to reply... Please don't embarrass me... You guys are also following orders..."

Lu Chen's eyes suddenly condensed.

"According to orders?"

He looked around the two of them.

"At whose order? To what?"

Cai Kun and Wu Fan looked at each other silently, and then Wu Fan hurriedly said: "The younger one was ordered by Master Chen to escort the mob to Dongshi for public display, and whipped them in front of the people of Taihe County. Punishment is a deterrent to lawlessness.”

"What a deterrent to lawless people!"

Lu Chen snorted coldly.

"So, I want to praise your Taihe County Yamen for doing things impartially and being strict with the law?"

The two even said they dared not.

Lu Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense to them and asked directly: "I want to ask you, since you say these people are mobs, what riots did they do? How did they slander the imperial court? What evidence do you have to prove that they have riots? meaning?"

"This......."

Cai Kun and Wu Fan hesitated and hesitated for a while, unable to give a clear answer.

"Can't you tell?"

Lu Chen looked cold, then suddenly turned his head and looked at Gu Simiao, who had been following him silently.

"Miss Gu, what is the crime for false accusation and slander?"

Gu Simiao said calmly: "Penpose him to the crime he was accused of."

"very good."

Lu Chen smiled coldly: "If that's the case, then I'm going to come here today to retaliate in kind. Come on!"

"Hang all these bitches up, hang them on the square, and whip them, so they can experience what it feels like to be hung up and beaten!"

"promise!"

The two Xuanji guards responded, and then walked quickly to a group of government officials who were suppressed by Fu Hua's pressure.

Seeing this, the faces of all the government officials suddenly turned extremely pale.

Chapter 214 Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door

When several local officials from Taihe County, including Li Yongcheng and Chen Kuan, came to Dongshi with great anxiety, they saw from a distance that under the archway of Dongshi, several government officials were being hung in the air. Next to each government official , there is a hemp rope suspended strangely in mid-air, which is constantly beating the yamen, beating them until they cry for father and mother.

"My lord, please forgive me... My lord, please forgive me..."

"I don't dare to do that anymore!!"

"..."

The screams of the government servants begging for mercy could be heard clearly from a hundred steps away.

Several people couldn't help but feel their hearts sinking. Looking at the scene not far away, hesitation gradually appeared on their faces. They subconsciously took two steps back, not daring to go any further.

At this time, how can they still have the majesty they usually have?

From the moment Zhu Yong revealed his identity as the deputy commander of the Mingxuan Ji Guard and brought them here from Yixiang Garden or from the restaurant, their official authority no longer existed.

These days, who dares to show off his authority in front of Xuanji Guard?

Could it be possible that something good could happen if Xuanji Guard came to your door?

Moreover, the people behind the Xuanji Guards were obviously not well-intentioned. They used the officials to establish their authority as soon as they arrived, without giving them any face. They did not take them seriously at all.

For a moment, they even had the urge to turn around and run away.

However, they just took two steps back...

Clang!

Zhu Yong suddenly pulled out the long sword from his waist.

"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Master Lu and the others are waiting for you there, hurry up and get over there!"

He said unceremoniously, with threats in his words.

"If I was delayed and I was blamed by Mr. Lu, believe it or not, I would chop you up on the spot!"

He spoke like a villain as always.

His attitude was no different from when he faced Gu family.

Faced with Zhu Yong's threat, everyone neither dared to get angry nor speak out. They quickly apologized and then walked towards the Dongshi Fangpai not far away.

The reputation of the Xuanji Guards has long been spread throughout the Sili official circles. When the Holy King took control of Luojing and vigorously purged the Demon Queen's gang members, the Xuanji Guards played an extremely important role, arresting and imprisoning people and killing them. That's called Shunliu. How many officials died under the sword of Xuanji Guards or in prison?

The strength of the Xuanji Guards has been verified by the huge number of heads in the capital. Now, nearly half of the court officials in Luojing live in the shadow of the Xuanji Guards, fearing that one day the Xuanji Guards will come to raid their homes and exterminate their clans.

The one with the highest official position among them is Li Yongcheng, who is only in the seventh rank. How can he dare to offend the great god Xuan Jiwei?

Soon, everyone was driven to the vicinity of Lu Chen and others with Zhu Yong almost escorting them.

The moment he saw Gu Simiao next to Lu Chen, Li Yongcheng's pupils shrank.

"Great... big general..."

He trembled.

Gu Simiao's starry eyes raised slightly, and a sneer curled up at the corner of her mouth.

"Isn't this Magistrate Li? I haven't seen you for many days. I really didn't expect to see you again. You have prepared such a big surprise for me. I am really flattered."

Hearing this, Li Yongcheng's heart suddenly trembled.

Naturally, he could not fail to hear Gu Simiao's obvious irony.

"General, this..."

He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Lu Chen suddenly looked over.

"No more high-sounding nonsense or excuses."

Lu Chen undoubtedly interrupted Li Yongcheng's words, then stared at him and said coldly: "County Magistrate Li, right? I only want to ask you a few questions. Just answer them honestly. I will make my own judgment. Are you related to this matter? If this matter has nothing to do with you, I will not be embarrassed at all, but if it is inseparable from you..."

As he said that, he suddenly looked serious.

"Then don't blame me for being rude."

Hearing this, Li Yongcheng couldn't help being slightly startled, and subconsciously turned his head and looked over.

Immediately afterwards, when he saw the figure appearing in the light curtain with the empress in the Xinyuan Ceremony, his eyes widened instantly.

"Lu...Lu..."

The corners of Li Yongcheng's mouth trembled and he instinctively exclaimed:

"Lord Lu!"

Snapped!

Chen Kuan's legs suddenly weakened and he stumbled to the ground. He looked at Lu Chen with horror in his eyes.

Lu Chen? !

That legendary figure who never knew what fear was, advocated "the people are valued more than the emperor", and valued the people more than anything else? !

In Chen Kuan's mind, a piece of news that he heard not long ago suddenly appeared.

It is said that when Lu Chen was serving as the governor of the two states, King Yu, a first-class prince, just casually killed some untouchables and was violently executed by him. Later, he even bloodbathed the entire officialdom of Sui and Yu states... ..

Chen Kuan's eyes almost went dark at the thought.

It's over, how could this evil star come quietly to such an unknown ghost place like Taihe County?

And it happens to be this time!

Isn't he the famous man in front of His Majesty?Shouldn't he stay in Luojing and guide the country?Aren't they fighting for power and profit in the capital and the court?

It only took him one day to clean up the whole matter, so why did this guy suddenly appear at this time?

Not only Chen Kuan and Li Yongcheng, but also the county magistrate, officials and others also became extremely ugly after they realized what they were doing.

"Now that you recognize me, it will be easy to handle."

Lu Chen raised his feet and walked slowly to Li Yongcheng, looking at the few people with indifference.

He didn't bother to care what they were thinking at the moment.

Be it fear or resentment.

Ever since he came to this world, he has never cared about other people's attitudes in his life and work.

Li Yongcheng said in a trembling voice: "Lu... Mr. Lu, what do you want to ask?"

Lu Chen put his hands behind his back and spoke slowly: "County Magistrate Li, I would like to ask you, have you asked Shuntian Prefecture for instructions on organizing people to pay mutual aid grains? Have you obtained the approval? How much are the mutual aid grains in total? Have you made arrangements in advance to return them? Are there any heavy troops guarding Xicang? Who was sent? Is there any news about evil spirits recently? Xicang was attacked by evil spirits. Did the officers and soldiers guarding Xicang perform their duties? How many people died in the line of duty? How many were injured? Is there any accountability? ? Where are those people? How much food was lost? Has the relevant information been recorded? Is there a plan to compensate the relocated people? Have you considered the subsequent livelihood issues of the people who received one stone of food to go to Montenegro? "

Facing Lu Chen's series of questions, Li Yongcheng suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

How much mutual aid food is there?The sea is gone. Even if we give ten dan to each of the more than 800 households who moved to Montenegro, there will still be a lot left.

Heavily guarded?He just typed a report and didn't even invite the Zhuxie Division's watchman. The ones sent to Xicang were only a dozen or so police officers from the county government.
