"Lu Yan, you are the deacon of the prince, and the Tongji warehouse is under your control. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" At this time, Lu Shang moved his gaze to the seventh deacon Lu Yan, and asked in a deep voice: "Has the food for disaster relief been allocated?!" ”

"Back to the Sect Master." Lu Yan's face was dark, his eyebrows were deep, and he said with an unsmiling look: "The day before yesterday, I went to Tongji Warehouse to inspect and specifically asked about this matter, and Lu Shiyu, who was in charge of the warehouse, reported that twenty stones a day were allocated to the Accounting Institute, and no day was missed. Saying this, he was afraid of offending Lu Jian too much, so he added: "But my nephew didn't really investigate, so I went to Tongji Cang to find out immediately when I went back." ”

"Don't bother, you have to make an extra trip." Lu Shang said lightly: "Lu Shi should almost arrive." ”

"Sect Master, let my nephew send someone to bring the firewood steward who is in charge of disaster relief, and confront him to see what went wrong." Lu Jian pleaded.

"You have a lot of nobles, how dare you bother to be old." Lu Shangyu said sarcastically: "I have already sent someone to invite him." ”

"In any case, this time the nephew is guilty of negligence!" How could Lu Jian not hear Lu Shang's anger towards him, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Let the sect master punish you!" ”

"Don't rush to receive the punishment, find out the matter, you can't run away!" Lu Shang glanced at him coldly, then looked at the second deacon Lu Xia and said, "I'll hand it over to you, the rope deacon." After speaking, the old man's eyes closed slightly and he stopped talking.

"Yes, don't worry, sect master," Lu Xia raised two wolf eyebrows, his eyes were cold, and Sen Ran responded: "All those who violate the clan rules will be severely punished!" ”

。

Each gate valve family has a great business, has its own army, fiefdoms, more than 100,000 children, and the number of people, tribes, and vassals is even more innumerable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are invisible independent kingdoms.

Naturally, it is necessary to have a strict organization to be able to manage such a large gate valve. Taking the land valve as an example, the suzerain, under the deputy suzerain, is divided into two systems. One is the Council of Elders, which is composed of respected nobles and elders, whose role is to consult with the owner of the valve to decide on major matters in the valve, and to supervise the upper and lower levels of the valve. The other is the deacon's hall, which is responsible for the specific affairs of the clan.

There are eight deacons in the Deacon's Hall, and all of them are present today. The eight deacons are in charge of their own affairs, and their power is terrifying, but if you want to talk about which one is the most feared by the clansmen, it must be the rope deacon who is responsible for maintaining the clan rules and punishing the unscrupulous. Speaking of which, the law of the Great Xuan Kingdom is actually nothing to the children of the gate lords, and what they are really afraid of is only the clan rules of their own clan!

Because only the clan rules can execute the children of the clan at will, the imperial court cannot interfere at all!

Right now, Deacon Lu Xia is about to exercise his power! Seeing that the firewood steward and Lu Shi hadn't brought it, he stared at the few slaves kneeling there, and whispered to the guards beside Lu Shang, asking what they had done.

At this time, Lu Jian was not idle. He commanded his guards and personally re-cooked porridge for the victims. Four of the pots only need to be filled with rice, but the pot that was spit on by those slaves can only be poured out.

"Don't pour." Lu Xia had already asked about the previous matter, glanced at the slaves who were kneeling on the ground and trembling, and said coldly: "Carry it to them!" ”

The two guards immediately carried the cauldron to the slaves. The seven slaves looked at the big pot full of rice water with wisps of thick phlegm, and wondered what it was for?

"Article 9 of the land valve clan rules does not oppress the people. Article 3 of the rules of the land lord clan, no disrespect to the suzerain! Lu Xia looked at the evil slaves expressionlessly: "You and the other evil slaves have violated the above two clan rules, and you are now sentenced to drink up this pot of water, and there must be no leftover!" After a pause, Lu Xia asked coldly, "Do you have any objections?" ”

"We have no objection...... The seven slaves did not expect that the punishment would be so light, and they immediately responded, lest they would scorn the deacon to change his mind.

"Oops......" The victims couldn't help but be disappointed when they heard this, and said in their hearts that don't look at the land valve making such a big move, when it's really time to hit the board, it still falls gently.

Lu Xia was unmoved, and waved his hand. The guard standing next to the pot said in a deep voice: "Drink! ”

The seven slaves hurried to the side of the pot and drank it in a big gulp.

After drinking less than a fifth, the stomachs of the seven people bulged into balls, and they were nauseous and nauseous, and they couldn't drink anymore. Someone was bold enough to raise his head and plead to Lu Xia: "Hiccup...... I really can't drink it, can I slow down and pee before drinking? ”

Lu Xia didn't pay attention to it at all.

"Drink!" The guards pressed their heads straight into the pot! The seven people were choked and coughed, saliva and snot sprayed, and naturally all fell into the pot, which made the material even more sufficient.

Only then did the victims discover that drinking water was not so simple. Deng Shi felt very relieved and shouted together: "Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink! ”

The seven slaves had no choice but to continue to force their mouths and mouths, because if anyone dared not open their mouths, the guards violently pressed his mouth and nose into the water and poured them directly into his stomach!

In a few moments, the seven servants felt like their stomachs were about to burst, but the guards continued to pour them mercilessly...... Gradually, the seven people lost their senses one after another, and only mechanically took a bite and continued to pour water into their stomachs!

Then, they began to have incontinence, lost their minds, and vomited incessantly......

The guards continued to pour water without mercy.

The victims were also silent, and they realized that this was not a light punishment at all, but to let these evil slaves die...... Although they hated these evil slaves deeply, when the victims were angry, many good people couldn't help but plead for them. "Master, forget it, they don't sin to death......" "Yes, master, if you drink it again, they will have to die......"

Lu Xia looked at the sect master, and when he saw Lu Shang nodding slightly, he waved his hand. The guards carried out the seven slaves, whose bellies were bulging like balls, and who had fallen into a complete coma......

Looking at the cauldron again, there is only one bottom left in the pot full of water......

The victims were still praising Lu Xin's kindness, but Lu Xin, who was watching coldly, knew that these seven slaves would definitely not survive...... Years of experience in criminal punishment told him that adults who pour seven or eight catties of water in a short period of time will cause the blood to be extremely diluted, and then go into shock and die.

Lu Xia didn't mean to spare those slaves at all. He asked them to be carried away, just because he didn't want Lu Zhu to leave a cruel impression in front of the people......

。

When the seven slaves were carried out of the porridge factory, the Chai steward and Lu Shi were also brought in. The former was tied up with five flowers, and even his mouth was blocked, but the latter was not restricted in any way, and under the supervision of a Xuanjie guard, he walked in front of Lu Shang and the eight deacons.

Both of them knelt down, and Lu Shang and the rest of the deacons did not speak, only Lu Xia interrogated the two. Lu Xia said to Lu Shi first: "According to the regulations of the valve, since two months ago, Tongluo Cang has to allocate twenty stone of disaster relief food every day, do you know about this?" ”

"Deacon, know below." Lu Shi replied.

"Did you do that?" Lu Xia asked again: "When will the food be handed over to whom, and what is the evidence?" ”

"Naturally, do it." Lu Shi said: "Every morning, the grain will be prepared in the warehouse. In the middle of the day, the firewood steward of the Accounting Institute would bring a boat to Tongluocang to take the grain, and at the same time leave a receipt. His signature is on the daily ledger, and the deacon can check it in detail! ”

The Xuanjie guards behind Lu Shi presented the relevant accounts taken from Tongluo Cang, Lu Xia took it and quickly looked through it, and saw that the workers on it recorded the time, quantity and reason for putting the grain day by day, and there were the signatures of the people who took the grain, as well as the seals of each room of the Accounting Institute. Among them, the most frequent is the signature of Chai Jinbao, the firewood steward, and the seal of Yu Qingfang.

After Lu Xia read it, he handed it to Lu Jian and Lu Yan to see, then turned to the chai steward and asked, "Why was he tied into a zongzi?" ”

"Returning to the deacon," replied the guard in charge of the arrest of the firewood steward, "and we were just running into this fang selling grain to a gang of profiteers, and when he saw us appearing, he first wanted to escape, and when he found that there was no way to escape, he wanted to commit suicide by jumping into the river. Stopping him and biting his tongue to kill himself, he had to deal with it like this. As he spoke, he took out an account book and said, "This was found from him." ”

Hearing the guard's words, Lu Jian's face turned pale, and he really wanted to cut this surnamed Chai with a thousand knives!

"Let his mouth go." Lu Xia took the account book and ordered in a deep voice.
