At this time, within the county government, Li Gongfu was still reviewing the case of Heshen overnight.

After he sat upright, the county guard stood below him, and on the left and right sides of the hall were the palace guards.

Looking at the few rich merchants kneeling below, Li Gongfu began to ask: "Zhang Dahu, this official heard that it was you who took the lead in entanglement with several other rich merchants and incited the people in the city, claiming that you would sacrifice the girl to the river god in order to calm the people, right?" ”

Zhang Dahu knelt below, his age was about forty years old, his face was rich, he was richly dressed, he looked like a standard businessman, hearing Li Gongfu's questioning, Zhang Dahu hurriedly said: "Back to the Qincha master, this matter, this matter really has to be sacrificed to the river god to ensure the safety of the county......

"Ridiculous!" Li Gongfu sneered: "That's good! Since the girl is going to be sacrificed to the river god, then in the opinion of the official, the daughter of your family is the most suitable! ”

What the!? When Zhang Dahu heard this, his eyes widened, and he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Master Qincha spare your life, Master Qincha is gracious——"

"Dare to distract the people! Aren't you ashamed to say that you have to sacrifice to the god of the river!? Then why not give up your daughter in the family!? Kindness!? The girl in your family is a human being, and the daughter of someone else's family, isn't that a human life!? Li Gongfu shouted.

"This, this ......" Zhang Dahu broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect that this Lord Qincha would be so strict, and it was completely different from the local county guard.

He couldn't help but look at the county guard with a begging gaze, it is conceivable that Zhang Dahu is a wealthy local businessman, and he has naturally dealt with the county guard a lot, but now, the county guard himself is difficult to protect, where will he pay attention to him!

"Zhang Dahu, do you have nothing to say!?" Li Gongfu continued to ask: "This official will ask you again!" How do you know that you have to sacrifice maidens in order to settle things!? ”

"Yes...... It's the dream of the river god,......" Zhang Dahu stammered.

"What a dream!" When Li Gongfu heard this, he shouted coldly: "Come on, bring the river god in his mouth!" ”

"No!"

With his order, it didn't take long for the black shadow who haunted the river to come up by Chen Fang.

It was a man in his thirties, with a beard and a huge scar on his face, who seemed to be a little unconvinced, and shook his shoulders in an attempt to struggle.

Seeing this, Chen Fang sneered, stretched out his hand and tapped the acupoint on the man's body twice as fast as lightning, and then kicked him to his knees with one kick, saying, "Bold thief!" When I saw Lord Chincha, I didn't dare to kneel!? ”

The man was kicked to his knees, his head was still twisted, and he had a posture of not taking Li Gongfu in his eyes, and when the latter saw this, he slapped the table and shouted: "Okay, you thief who pretends to be a ghost!" The lobby of the prefectural government! How can you be presumptuous!? Around! ”

"In!" When the palace guards on both sides heard this, they immediately stood up.

"Hit the thirty sticks first! Kill this thief's spirit! Li Gongfu said directly.

"No!" The palace guards don't care if you are a river god or not, after getting the order, they will start acting immediately, and that stick is a real beating! In just a few strokes, the man who thought he was the god of the river had already opened his skin and began to cry and beg for mercy!

After the thirty sticks were beaten, the man didn't hold his neck anymore, and began to lie down honestly, Li Gongfu looked at Zhang Dahu and said: "Zhang Dahu, you said that the river god gave you a dream, then let him ask him to show the official!" ”

Yes!? At this time, Zhang Dahu was already frightened by the situation in front of him, he swallowed his saliva fiercely, and pointed to the dying man who was beaten, "He...... He's the river god? ”

"Humph! What a river god! It's just a ghost tricker! Chen Fang sneered.

Seeing that several wealthy businessmen had been shocked by the facts in front of him, Li Gongfu no longer paid attention to them, but looked at the man pretending to be a river god again, and asked, "Dare thief!" If you are truthfully recruited, why do you pretend to be a ghost and fool the local people! ”

The man was beaten and lay on the ground, looked up at Li Gongfu, but did not speak.

Seeing this, Li Gongfu's expression turned cold, and he said: "It seems that this official doesn't give you some color to see, you don't know my gale law!" ”

"Someone!"

Yes!? I don't know what Li Gongfu is going to do, the man was beaten lightly just now, and he was startled after hearing this, and hurriedly said: "Master Qincha spares his life!" The little one is! Say yes! ”

"Humph! Hurry up and be honest! ”

"The small, the small one wants to rob the rich and help the poor......" the man said with a high-sounding reason.

But how could this fool Li Gongfu, who sneered and said, "What a robbery of the rich and helping the poor!" This official will convince you today! ”

As he spoke, he raised his head again and shouted: "Come on, pass on Niu Er!" ”

"Passing the cow two~~~~"

Soon, Niu Er was brought up, this is a poor man, a coarse linen full of patches, but his youth is very young.

"Villain Niu Er, see Master Qincha." Niu Er knelt down and said in fear.

"Niu Er, this official came to ask you, a few days ago, did you receive a silver tael from the river god." Li Gongfu got straight to the point.

"Yes, yes." Niu Er stammered.

"How many?"

"Whole ...... Thirty taels of silver......"

"Where now?"

"Both...... It's all spent on the small ones......"

"Thirty taels of silver, just a few days, and you have spent it all?" As Li Gongfu spoke, he also deliberately looked at the patched clothes on his body, thirty taels of silver, and at the price at that time, I don't know how many new clothes he would have to buy.

Niu Er didn't dare to answer easily.

Li Gongfu shouted and asked, "Where is it used!" Recruit from the truth! ”

His strong drink and real official authority scared Niu Er a lot, and the latter shuddered, and hurriedly said truthfully: "All, they all lost in the gambling house." ”

When Li Gongfu heard this, he didn't say anything, but looked at the man pretending to be the river god again, and said: "Do you know that the Wang Dahu who was stolen by you, ten years ago, his family was poor and hungry, but he worked hard, with his own ability and unremitting efforts, he broke out of his own way, and only then did he have today's family wealth!" Do you think that his money came from the flood!? That's what he did step by step, with his own hard work and hard work! ”

"And Niu Er, so young, why is he so poor? You must know that my Fengguo is now under the rule of the king, and the cultivator has his land, even if he only works, he cannot be so poor! This only shows that he is a lazy eater! ”

"This is what you call robbing the rich and helping the poor!?"

"Why did you snatch other people's hard-earned silver and give it to a lazy gambler!? Answer the officer's question! ”

Yes? When the man heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded, he didn't expect that Li Gongfu could actually say such a paragraph, and this passage made him unable to refute it at all!
