The magistrate was trembling, this time he was really afraid: "Lord Qiyu, the humble position is also a last resort, and other counties have also accepted it, if only this county does not accept it, I'm afraid it will not be good!" ”

"Are you sure the other counties have taken it! To tell you the truth, there is a half-truth, this official will never spare you! ”

The magistrate shook his head: "My lord, anyway, most of the counties have accepted it, maybe a few counties have not accepted it!" ”

"That's why you resisted?"

"My lord, I am wronged, these salaries are all collected from above!"

"So you've turned it all in?" Luo Hui didn't believe what he said at all, this person was so greedy, and the poverty in Tang County was what he had seen with his own eyes.

He was about to answer when a group of men burst in. One by one, with weapons, the momentum was menacing, and there were about fifty people.

The first person was dressed in the clothes of a military attache from the fifth rank, and his subordinates supported the half-dead Wang Zhutou.

As soon as this person came, he asked viciously: "Who beat my brother-in-law, stand up yourself!" ”

Luo Hui stood up: "I hit, what do you want!" ”

The thousand households glanced at Luo Hui, and then saw the county lord kneeling on the ground, and suddenly his arrogance became much less. Although his official position is higher than that of the magistrate, his power is far inferior to that of the magistrate.

"Who are you?" The deputy asked carefully.

Luo Hui looked at the fifty soldiers, and felt that he could use it, so he showed his official seal: "This official is the commander of the emperor himself, do you have any questions?" ”

When the Qianhu saw the official seal, he knelt down: "Humble to participate in the adult!" ”

At this time, he hated his brother-in-law to death. offended such an executive, he didn't want to be promoted to a thousand households in his life.

"You came just in time, let your brother go to the house in Zhixian County and see how many silver taels he has!"

Chen Zhengze showed a desperate expression and collapsed to the ground, he knew that he was finished!

Where did the deputy Qianhu dare to disobey, and immediately led the brothers to rush into the place where the magistrate lived. The Qianhu was a little familiar with Chen Zhixian's way of hiding money, and after trying a few places, he finally dug up the treasure of Zhixian. Those belongings were pulled out one after another, and it took a total of five boxes to finish!

"My lord, according to a preliminary estimate, there are about 200,000 taels of silver!"

Chen Zhixian's face was like ashes, and he almost fainted, this was his life savings.

Luo Hui was furious, a magistrate had embezzled so much: "You have been an official for a few years!" ”

Chen Zhengze was submissive and did not dare to answer.

The bookkeeper replied, "My lord, it's been almost nine years!" ”

It's only been nine years to be greedy for 200,000, which is really appalling! The people on the field all looked at him angrily, eager to pounce on him, bite him to death, and drink his blood.

Luo Hui's expression was grim, and he held up Shang Fang's sword: "Coming, Chen Zhengze exploited the people, bent the law for bribes, and disobeyed the holy decree, causing the livelihood of the people in Tang County to wither, and the people were not able to make a living." Chen Zhengze is now sentenced to beheading, and it will be executed immediately, and the others will be handed over to the company for investigation before they are released! ”

"No, you can't be like this, I'm a dignified seven-rank life official, I'm from a human background!" Chen Zhengze shouted.

Wan Bi also persuaded him: "Lord Luo, this matter should be dealt with in the capital, anyway, it is a capital crime, why dirty your hands!" ”

"If you don't kill him, it's really hard to be angry!"

"My lord, if you think about it again, he is also a seven-rank hall official canonized by the court!"

Luo Hui smiled: "Lord Wan, when this official first became a thousand households, he killed a hundred households of the sixth grade!" ”、

Wan Bi was a little embarrassed: "The civil attaché and the military attache are different, no matter how much he says, he is also from a human background!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Luo Hui became angry: "Why are you civil officials superior to others and tell you that this official must behead him today!" You will write a 1510 copy of what happened today and send it to the emperor! ”

Wan Bi saw that he was angry and didn't dare to say more.

"Li Qianhu, take this county lord to the vegetable market and behead him!"

Li Qianhu shrank his neck in fright when he heard this: "My lord, don't you dare to do this!" ”

Luo Hui glanced at him: "If you don't want to do it, this official will do it himself!" ”

"Willing, willing, lowly willing to do it!"

Li Qianhu is also a person who understands current affairs, but the other party is in command and knowledge, and he is still on an errand. Moreover, he has long been dissatisfied with this county order, this person is too greedy, and he doesn't even let go of his money. Although he is nominally higher in rank than him. In fact, the low-level military attache is just a fart, except for some military households under his hands, there is nothing.

Li Qianhu asked his two thousand households to escort Chen Zhengze, who had already frightened the stall, to the vegetable market.

The originally not very lively county exploded like a drop of water entering boiling oil. Hundreds of people came to watch, crowded with different waters.

Luo Hui held Shang Fang's sword: "Quiet! ”

The people quickly quieted down, and Luo Hui drew his sword: "Listen to the people of Tang County, this person is the county order of Tang County, I am the minister sent by the emperor, this person is corrupt and perverts the law, exploits the people, disobeys the holy decree, and is extremely evil. ”

Chen Zhengze was already frightened at this time, kneeling on the ground, trembling. After a while, everyone smelled a foul smell and knew that they had become incontinent.

Luo Hui covered his nose and took five steps back: "Quick, go summon the executioner and let the professional people come!" ”

Luo Hui took back the sword, thinking that this sword was not sharp, and it was still a little difficult to cut off this person's neck, so it was better to leave it to a professional.

In less than a cup of tea, a bearded man with a sharp knife came to the vegetable market.

In anticipation, the executioner raised his broadsword high, and the cold light shimmered in the setting sun.

The people watched intently, until the knife fell, and Chen Zhengze's body separated.

The people applauded.

"This scourge should have died a long time ago!"

executed the magistrate, Luo Hui looked at the owner of Wu Ji Rice Shop again: "You colluded with Chen Zhengze to raise the price of rice, what kind of crime should you be guilty of!" ”

When the boss saw that he had really beheaded the county, he was already frightened, and he kowtowed to Luo Hui: "My lord, I will immediately return to the original price!" ”

"What is the original price?"

"Two hundred and forty-one buckets!"

"It's too expensive," Luo Hui held the sword carelessly.

"Two hundred and twenty-one buckets!"

Luo Hui shook his head and put the sword around his neck: "It's still too expensive!" ”

Boss Wu Ji also knew that the situation was stronger than people, and trembled and stretched out two fingers: "Two hundred and one buckets!" ”

"Then two hundred and one buckets, each person is limited to five buckets!"

"My lord, there are too many buckets, we don't have so much rice, and we can only buy one bucket at most!"

"Then go somewhere else and buy it, and think about how much money you make from the people!"

Boss Wu Ji could only agree.

Luo Hui shouted to the crowd: "Ladies and gentlemen, the imperial court has issued an order that no more Liao salaries will be levied, so all the Liao salaries levied this year will be returned to you, and you will all come to the county government office tomorrow morning to register and receive money." ”
