With such a look, the latter immediately swallowed his saliva fiercely, and then lowered his head, shrunk his shoulders, where did he dare to say a word more.

Lu Chen looked at the woman again and asked aloud, "What are you wronged?" ”

At that time, how could a commoner dare to stop the king's car, and the woman did this at the risk of killing her head, but she didn't expect the king to really appear.

At this time, she was undoubtedly more excited, knelt there and said in a trembling voice: "Back to the king, the husband of the people's daughter, at the request of the local government, went to Chenxian County to dig a big river canal, but in the process of labor, he was ruthlessly beaten by the soldiers, forced to work day and night, without rest, and finally died on the spot, and the government has never given any explanation, and the people's daughter has not even had a chance to collect her husband's body, the king......"

After listening to her cry, Lu Chen's brows also furrowed slightly, young and strong labor, several people died, and it happened everywhere, but those were all under normal circumstances, and listening to what the woman said, it seemed that her husband's death was related to the government.

After he pondered for a while, he said: "You get up first, this king will find out about this matter, and he will definitely ask the government to give you an explanation." ”

"The king......" The woman began to kneel and kowtow again.

Lu Chen didn't say anything more, and it was impossible for him to deal with this matter in the market, so he gestured to the guards and said, "Take her to the county government." ”

When he said this, it was equivalent to taking care of this matter, and the guard immediately stepped forward, pulled up the woman on the ground, and said: "Don't kneel here to intercept the king anymore, be careful of angering the king, follow me to the county government, the king will make decisions for you." ”

After taking the woman away, Lu Chen also looked at Tao Gongyi, the head of Cangzhou County.

Feeling the king's gaze, Tao Gongyi immediately swallowed his saliva, and then said with a dry smile on his face: "This, the king ......"

"Call the county guard of Chenxian County immediately." Lu Chen didn't talk nonsense.

"Present...... Now? Tao Gongyi stammered and asked.

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help glaring at him fiercely, and the latter immediately shrank his neck and replied again and again: "Yes, yes, Weichen will go." ”

But just as he was about to leave, Lu Chen stopped him again: "Forget it, you don't have to go, Liang Xiao, you can go." ”

"No." Liang Xiao directly responded with a fist clenched and turned away.

Subsequently, Lu Chen's car began to travel to the county government, along the way, Tao Gongyi was also worried, and now some people shouted grievances in front of the king, and he didn't know if he would be implicated next.

The other side.

Chenxian is the closest county to the county seat, so it didn't take long for Liang Xiao to find the county government.

For his arrival, the county guard of Chenxian County was shocked, and hurriedly greeted him out of the mansion in person.

After seeing Liang Xiao, he also hurriedly bowed down, and Shi Li said, "I've seen Lord Liang." ”

As he spoke, he also respectfully handed over Liang Xiao's waist card with both hands, and at the same time forced out a dry smile: "I don't know if Lord Liang is visiting today, the lower officials are not welcome, please invite the house to have tea ......."

"No need." The waist card was handed over to the county guard when the county government guards went in to report before, and after Liang Xiao took it, he also said straight to the point: "Lord County Guard, the king wants to see you." ”

Yes? Hearing this, the county guard of Chenxian County was taken aback, and when the secret guard visited, his heart had already begun to sink, and now when he heard that the king wanted to see, his heart was even more panicked, and he couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice: "Lord Liang, I don't know what the king wants to summon." ”

"The king's command, I want you to go immediately! What is there to ask! Liang Xiao glared at him.

"Yes, yes, Xiaguan, Xiaguan will go." The county guard said a word again and again, but he stood in place, hesitated for a long time, and then said with a shy face: "This, Lord Liang, there are still some important matters in the county, can the officials ...... Can you deal with it and go to the king again......"

Before he finished his words, Liang Xiao was already angry and shouted: "Presumptuous! You are a small county guard, do you want the king to wait for a long time!? ”

"Huh? Don't dare, don't dare, how dare the lower officials, go here, go here......" The county guard couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat that had oozed from his forehead, and at the same time said to the county government guard at the door: "Quick, prepare...... Prepare the horse. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, the county guard of Chenxian County was taken to the county government, and along the way, he naturally wanted to inquire about what happened from Liang Xiao's side, but the latter would not pay attention to him.

After arriving at the hall of the county government, when he saw Lu Chen, who was wearing a royal robe and sitting directly above, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Weichen Chenxian County Guard Qiu Ren, see the king." ”

"Lord Qiu." Lu Chen didn't let him get up, but asked directly: "This king heard that the big rivers and canals in Chenxian County, the young and strong laborers, were all whipped by the soldiers with heavy whips, and forced the people to work day and night, but is there such a thing!?" ”

How could Qiu Ren admit it, and immediately exclaimed when he heard the words: "Wronged, the king, within the jurisdiction of the micro-ministers, is responsible for digging the river canal, and has always strictly obeyed the king's orders. ”

"Really?" Lu Chen didn't ask much, but directly raised his voice and said, "Send that woman over." ”

Woman? What woman? Qiu Ren couldn't help swallowing his saliva, knelt on the ground, and faintly felt a little wrong.

After a short time, the woman who cried out was brought up.

After entering the hall, she knelt down beside Qiu Ren, and Lu Chen also said directly: "The people in the hall, the person kneeling beside you is the county guard of Chenxian County, and now you have any grievances, you can confront the county guard in front of this king." ”

The woman originally came to complain, and now there is a king for her to make the decision, how can she hesitate, hearing the words, she immediately began to say: "The king, the husband of the people's daughter, has been working for two days in a row, and has not rested, but the government has been beating day and night, regardless of human life, on the third day, my husband finally couldn't support it, fainted to the ground, could have been rescued in time, but the government continued to whip heavily on the grounds of laziness, the husband of the people's daughter died unjustly, the king ......"

What the woman said was told to her by the people who returned to the village, and when Qiu Ren heard this, he immediately pointed at the woman and hurriedly scolded: "Shut up! You wretch! In front of the king, dare to talk nonsense! ”

"Shut up!" Lu Chen glared at Qiu Ren fiercely.

Seeing this, the latter hurriedly lowered his head again, and said in a trembling voice: "King Mingjian, this woman is a woman in the village, and what she said is really out of nothing, framing Weichen......"

"The king, what the people's daughter said, everything is true, how dare you frame the official master." The woman began to speak.

Lu Chen waved his hand to interrupt her, then stared at Qiu Ren, and said coldly: "This woman, just an ordinary person, if she has no grievances, how dare she sue you, the court official!?" ”
