As the saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials.

In normal times, how could an ordinary folk girl sue a county guard.

This is also the reason why Qiu Ren had no fear before.

But what he didn't expect was that this woman was so lucky, she just happened to meet the king, and the king accepted it.

At this time, he had already shed cold sweat, and after listening to Lu Chen's scolding, he also swallowed his saliva fiercely, and said boldly: "Weichen, Weichen is loyal to his duties, this woman's words, the king can't be gullible......"

Before Lu Chen could speak, the woman had already said again: "The king, the people in the Minnu Village who went to Chenxian County to serve as laborers can all prove it. ”

"Oh?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is this village?" ”

The woman replied, "Zhoujia Village, Chenxian County." ”

Lu Chen didn't have any extra nonsense, and raised his head slightly directly towards Liang Xiao.

The latter understood, and immediately clenched his fists and said, "Weichen understands." After speaking, he also left directly.

Although Lu Chen believed what the woman said, he couldn't convict the county guard because of her words, and now he had to wait for a new witness, he also got up and waved his hand: "Stand down." ”

"The folk girl retired." The woman gave a respectful salute, and was then led down by two palace guards.

Qiu Ren, on the other hand, was still kneeling on the ground and began to stammer: "King, in the county, there are still some important matters in the county that have not been dealt with, Weichen ...... Can Wechen go back first? ”

"Don't go anywhere, just wait at the county government!" Lu Chen said coldly.

"Yes, yes." Qiu Ren couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his forehead with the sleeve of his official uniform.

His face was ugly, and Lu Chen didn't bother to pay attention to him, but walked out of the hall.

The county head Tao Gongyi was just about to follow, but Qiu Ren hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and begged: "Adults save me, adults save me......"

"Oops! You want to kill your own official! "Tao Gongyi is full of heart and gall, and now he doesn't know if he has any trouble, how can he still have the heart to care about Qiu Ren.

At this time, Lu Chen, who had already walked out of the hall, also turned his head slightly and shouted, "Master Tao." ”

"Huh? Wechen is here, Wechen is here. Tao Gongyi hurriedly responded, shook off Qiu Ren's arm fiercely, and then followed with a fart.

"Optimistic about the county guard of Chenxian County." Lu Chen commanded the palace guards at the gate again.

The next day.

More than a dozen young laborers in Zhoujia Village were taken to the county government, and Lu Chen was interrogated in court again.

They are just ordinary people, when they have seen the king, and now when they see Lu Chen, they are all so frightened that their faces are pale, kneeling on the ground, and their bodies are trembling slightly.

The woman was kneeling at the front, and after Lu Chen looked around, he also asked her: "The people in the hall, you said that the young and strong people in the village can testify for you?" ”

"Yes, the king." The woman said a word, then turned to the villagers, began to kowtow and said, "Please also ask the villagers to avenge Huzi......"

Her kowtow made the corners of the people's mouths move, but before they could speak, Qiu Ren, who was also kneeling below, had already said sharply: "Wait for Diao Min!" Now the king is here, if you dare to talk nonsense! Beware of the Nine Clans! ”

His words, listening to the ears of the people, couldn't help but frighten the people's bodies, and the words that came to their lips were swallowed back raw.

When Lu Chen heard this, he was annoyed and angry, and then slapped the table on the side of him, pointed at Qiu Ren and said, "If you dare to talk nonsense, this king will take your head soon!" ”

Hearing this, Qiu Ren was so frightened that he suddenly shrank his neck, and hurriedly said: "The king is angry, the king is angry, Weichen, Weichen is also worrying about the king......"

"Shut up!" Lu Chen scolded again, then looked at the people, and said: "Don't be afraid, this king is here today, if there is a grievance, he will be the master for you, what do you see, even if you come to the road, don't say that a small county guard, even the king of heaven Laozi, don't dare to be presumptuous!" ”

As soon as he said this, he couldn't help but give the people a lot of courage, and soon, someone pointed at Qiu Ren and said in a trembling voice: "Big ...... The king, that is, it was the order of the county keeper ......"

"I waited for labor, I was not looked at at at all, the slightest carelessness, I was beaten with a poisonous whip, the county guard ignored me and waited for life and death, three days later, more than 50 strong men, or were beaten to death, or were exhausted to death in the place where the construction started, and there was not even a person to collect the body......

"What!?" When Lu Chen heard this, he was shocked, he thought that it was just a homicide, but he didn't expect that it was more than fifty lives!

At this time, Qiu Ren knelt below, and his whole body began to tremble.

After the shock, it was also Lu Chen's thunderous anger, he couldn't help but shoot the case, pointed at Qiu Ren below, and said angrily: "Qiu Ren! What the people say, but it's true!? ”

"Big ...... The king ......" Qiu Ren trembled, now that there are so many witnesses, where can he quibble.

"You dog! Grass Kan human life! Ignore the king's decree! Come on, drag him down and behead him for public display! Lu Chen shouted angrily.

"No!" As he spoke, a palace guard soon walked in.

Seeing this, Qiu Ren was so frightened that he began to kowtow and said, "The king spares his life, the king spares his life!" Everything Weichen did was to complete it as soon as possible, and I hope the king will be gracious......"

Hearing this, Lu Chenna became more and more annoyed, and couldn't help shouting again: "This king has already made a clear order!" Men everywhere, they shall not be scourged, and they shall not be enslaved! Where did you put this king's royal decree!? ”

When Qiu Ren heard this, he immediately pointed the finger at Tao Gongyi, and said again and again: "It's the county head!" It was him, it was he who ordered the counties to rush to work! ”

"You, you, you! You're spewing blood! When Tao Gongyi heard this, the three souls and seven spirits were frightened, he knelt on the ground in a panic, and said in a trembling voice: "The king, Weichen, Weichen just ordered to rush to work, and all along, he has been strictly obeying the king's order and treating the people well, but Qiu Ren's dog official dared to ignore the life and death of the people, and forcibly whipped him privately, which is really an unforgivable crime!" Wechen doesn't know either......"

Tao Gongyi knelt at Lu Chen's feet, and when Lu Chen heard this, he also slapped him hard.

With a "snap", the latter was directly knocked to the ground by this slap, but immediately got up again and continued to kneel there, trembling slightly.

Lu Chen didn't pay attention to him anymore, but looked at the palace guards, and said angrily: "What are you doing there, drag it down and cut it!" ”

"No!" At this moment, how dare the guards delay any longer, they immediately left and right, and walked out with Qiu Ren on their feet.

"The king spares his life, the king spares his life" Qiu Ren's voice was also quickly news outside the door.

Then, Lu Chen looked at Tao Gongyi again, and said coldly: "Immediately compensate the people for the gold and silver, and settle them properly." ”

"Understand, understand, this matter will be handled by Weichen, please rest assured." Tao Gongyi said again and again.
