Chapter 52: The People's Heart

"Someone!"

Liu Feng waved his hand, pointed at Lu Chen and the others and said coldly:

"Take it all!"

"No!"

With his words, the county soldiers who followed him rushed up, raised the spears in their hands, and surrounded Lu Chen and the others.

The surrounding crowd panicked.

Seeing that several county soldiers came to arrest him, Li Cheng looked like he was about to be welcomed to the restaurant, without any fear at all, but his face was full of relaxation and peace of mind. He had even dreamed of being a county guard in his heart.

The county lord Bo knelt on the ground in fright, his whole body trembled, and he couldn't stop shouting that he had wronged the county head.

Even the several entourage guards who followed Lu Chen's side were also stunned by the scene in front of them at this time. Liu Feng came prepared this time, not counting his county guards, just the county army he brought was enough for thousands, in front of so many county troops, even if they had the heart to protect Lu Chen, it was simply impossible.

When several county soldiers went to arrest Lu Chen, the latter's face remained unchanged, and he said coldly: "This official will leave by himself, and the county chief will not bother." ”

"Humph! Lord Lu! This official has to remind you that it is a great crime for you to recruit soldiers and horses privately, and this time, I am afraid that no one will be able to save you! If you have anything to say, let's go to the prison and explain it again! Liu Feng said triumphantly.

"Did I say I was going to explain it to you?" Lu Chen replied coldly.

"You! Lu Chen! You are dying, and you dare to be hard-mouthed! Liu Feng pointed at Lu Chen, his fat face turned red, and then waved his hand and shouted: "Take it away!" ”

Lu Chen is a border guard, although he is only the title of county guard, but he has a special position, and he is convicted of treason, which is a big deal, this has to be reported to the court, waiting for the decision of the Feng King, if this is not the case, I am afraid that Liu Feng will order him to be killed on the spot!

Seeing that Liu Feng, the head of the county, led a large number of county troops to take Lu Chen away, at this time, the young men who came to join the army and the people of the border cities who were watching around were unwilling.

You must know that since Lu Chen took office, the border city has taken on a new look, everything is developing in a good direction, and with such a county guard, the people are happy in their hearts.

And the prestige that Lu Chen has established in the border city these days is beyond doubt, as can be seen from the fact that there are so many people coming to join the army in the current conscription office.

People knelt down and kowtowed to Liu Feng one after another, and said nonsense: "Lord Lu is not guilty, please let Lord Lu go......

"Lord Lu is a good official, since he took office, he has been thinking about me and other people everywhere, and the county head can't wronged Lord Lu......"

"Please ask the county lord to be merciful......

As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, even if the people feel that what Liu Feng is doing is wrong, even if they want to save Lu Chen, they can only kneel and beg Liu Feng for mercy, but in fact, there is no point at all.

Lu Chen's existence has already made it difficult for Liu Feng to sleep, and it is impossible for him to let Lu Chen go because of these people kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

Looking at the people of the border city who knelt down in front of him, Lu Chen's heart swelled with warmth, he was not a person of grass and trees, how could he not be moved by this. At the same time, he also knows that after he came to this world, everything he did was not in vain, and it was not in vain!

However, when Liu Feng saw this, he became angry, and kicked away an old farmer who was kneeling on the ground who was blocking his way, and then pointed around everyone and said viciously: "Wait for the people!" Run off at the mouth! If you dare to block the official's way again, don't blame the official for being ruthless! ”

The old farmer was old, his face was wrinkled, his clothes were ragged, and he looked like he was not seventy but sixty, and he was kicked in the head by Liu Feng, and he passed out on the spot.

His relatives and children were lying on the old farmer and crying, but this did not prevent the people from begging, everyone knelt more, and the voice of intercession for Lu Chen was louder.

Seeing this, Liu Feng was furious and yelled at the county army: "Bomb these people away from this official!" If you dare to continue pestering, open the stick! ”

"No!" Thousands of county soldiers responded in unison, they are soldiers, their superiors have orders, they don't care so much, seeing that there are ordinary people who continue to kneel and do not leave, the county soldiers have been driven away with sticks, and they are merciless.

For a moment, the sound of wailing was everywhere.

Seeing this, Lu Chen's teeth were about to crush, but he didn't speak out loud, because he knew in his heart that the higher his status in the hearts of the people, the more the people interceded for him, the more angry Liu Feng became, and the more he wanted to kill him. Similarly, if he said something at this time, Liu Feng would not only ridicule him, but also intensify it.

In the end, under Liu Feng's strong pressure, many people in the border city were beaten and bruised, and the crowd was finally dispersed, and Lu Chen and others were also escorted to the county government prison.

Originally, according to Liu Feng's meaning, he would directly escort Lu Chen back to the county seat, and then he would personally write to the court to explain Lu Chen's 'crime', and after the imperial court's will to execute Lu Chen came down, it would be better to dispose of Lu Chen directly.

However, his dog-headed military advisor Zhang Tao told him to let him imprison Lu Chen in the border city and county prison, because in this way, Lu Chen's border generals who followed him with all their hearts would come to rob the prison and even mutiny, as long as they dared to do so, then they would take advantage of the situation to put them all on the crime of rebellion, which just cleared Lu Chen's henchmen in one fell swoop.

Zhang Tao's strategy can not be described as poisonous, because from the last time Chen Liang was beheaded in the school, he has already seen that Lu Chen's prestige among the border army soldiers is self-evident, especially Zhao Chuan and other border army generals, it can be said that only Lu Chen is the first to look forward, these people, staying will definitely be a disaster, it is better to take this opportunity to eradicate them together.

His suggestion was greatly praised and recognized by Liu Feng, who also gladly accepted it, and planned to transfer another 30,000 county troops from Pingzhou to prevent accidents.

The county army in Pingzhou, according to the establishment of the imperial court, has 50,000 people, and Liu Feng transferred more than half of them at once, which also shows his determination to eradicate Lu Chen and others this time.

Zhang Tao could think of this strategy, how smart Lu Chen was, how could he not think of it. It's just that at this moment, he has been controlled by the county army led by Liu Feng, and he can't notify Zhao Chuan and the others at all.

He knew very well that Liu Feng didn't dare to kill himself without permission, he had to wait for the will of the Wind King, and the imperial court was not sure how to decide this matter now.

He is afraid, with Zhao Chuan's personality, after hearing that he was framed, he will desperately lead troops to the rescue, so that it is tantamount to confirming the charge of rebellion!

At this time, the county army escorted Lu Chen and the others just past a simple tea shop on the side of the road.

By this time it was getting dark, and the tea shop was closing, and a beautiful young woman in a coarse linen dress was helping her father carry tables and chairs into the house.
