Chapter 21: Raiding the House
Liu San didn't know what kind of person this new county keeper was, but in his opinion, the crows in the world were generally black, as the so-called no business, no treachery, no officials and no greed, although he did not directly indicate that he wanted to bribe Lu Chen, but the tone of his voice and his flattering expression had already expressed the meaning very clearly.
His meaning is obvious, that is, he wants to use money to make the county guard stand on his side and be his umbrella for his domineering behavior in the border city.
Lu Chen was so smart that he already understood the meaning when he saw his small movements, but he pretended to know nothing and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it here." ”
"This ......" Liu San first looked at the onlookers left and right, and then leaned in with Lu Chen, and said in a low voice: "The villain has long admired Lord Lu, and I hope that Lord Lu can be demoted to the mansion......"
Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't hold back any longer, he kept a certain distance from Liu San without a trace, and said with a smile angrily: "I see what you mean, you want to bribe this official?" ”
When he spoke, he deliberately raised his voice very high, so that everyone present could hear it clearly, Zhao Chuan, who had been guarding Lu Chen's side, heard this, his nose was almost crooked, and he pressed the handle of the knife with one hand and glared angrily at Liu San! finally came to Lu Chen, such a new county guard, this scoundrel Liu San, actually wanted to pull him into the water, which made Zhao Chuan, who was bent on fighting against the barbarians, almost run away on the spot, if it weren't for Lu Chen, the top boss next to him, he would probably have pulled out his saber and chopped Liu San with a knife!
Liu San was dumbfounded, in his opinion, even if Lu Chen rejected him, it must be more tactful and obscure, but he never thought that Lu Chen would actually say such a thing in public, and for a while, he stood there, and suddenly became a little overwhelmed.
Before he could react, Lu Chen, who was extremely angry, scolded again: "Zhao Chuan! According to the law, what should be the crime of openly framing this official!? ”
At that time, there was no specific crime of bribery in the criminal law, so Lu Chen would say this, but giving Liu Sanan such a crime was enough for him to bear. When Zhao Chuan heard this, he said: "Lord Hui, according to the law of the Great Wind, civilians who openly frame the officials of the imperial court can be raided or beheaded according to the size of their crimes!" ”
As soon as Zhao Chuan's words were finished, there were bursts of whispers in the crowd, here in the border city, the collusion between officials and businessmen seems to have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Liu San's family is rich, and he is one of the richest businessmen here, many ordinary people think that this is Lu Chen's new official taking office, and he is deliberately making a show for people to see, and Bacheng will say something about Liu San's temporary detention later. Just like the previous county guards, it was not as good as it sounded on the face, and in the end, they all fell under Liu San's money and beauty, and people almost expected the ending.
However, Liu San didn't think so, and he could clearly feel that this new county guard Lu Chen was completely different from the previous two county guards, and his tone when he spoke was not that kind of pretentiousness.
For a while, he was a little panicked, and waved his hand again and again, trying to justify: "No, no, no...... Lord Lu, the villain has no intention of framing the adult, and I hope the adult can see ......"
Without giving him a chance to explain, Lu Chen interrupted him with a sneer: "Shut up! Liu San, you tried to bribe the official and make the official bear the crime of accepting bribes, isn't this framing the official!? Do you think that your careful thinking and tricks can hide from the official, originally, you should be beheaded for this crime, but the official thinks that you are Chen Liang's cousin, and he will spare your life today! But if you frame the official, the official can't just let you go, so ......"
As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Liang, who had been kneeling on one knee, and continued: "General Chen will personally lead the team and lead the people of the headquarters to confiscate all the property in Liu San's mansion!" General Chen, what do you think? ”
"This ......"
"Huh?"
"The end ...... The last general will obey the orders of the adults...... "At this time, Chen Liang was already sweating like rain, he didn't expect that this new Lord Lu was so strong, he didn't play false at all, and he came up and looked like he was doing business. How dare he not agree at this time, I am afraid that as long as he says nothing, this new county keeper will be able to label himself with a crime such as shielding......
"Very good, General Chen doesn't keep kneeling there, hurry up." Lu Chen said with satisfaction.
"Yes...... Is it ......" Chen Liang swallowed his saliva secretly, stood up tremblingly, shrugged his head and stood aside, and couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his forehead with his arms.
Lu Chen snorted coldly, glanced at Xiao Wang, who was almost forgotten by someone else, and continued: "In addition, this time to raid Liu's Mansion, this official specially assigned these two brothers to accompany General Chen to go together, presumably General Chen has no opinion, right?" ”
Lu Chen asked this, it was just a formality, he was the highest governor of the border city, what did he say, how could Chen Liang dare to object, he could only respond again and again.
On the contrary, it was Xiao Wang and the burly man who were a little overwhelmed by this sudden change, and the two were stunned on the spot and did not react, but Lu Chen didn't care, and asked with a smile: "What are the names of the two of you?" ”
"Huh?" It was only at this time that the two of them reacted suddenly, first saluted Lu Chen, and then Xiao Wang said: "Lord Hui, the villain's surname is Xiao, fame, this is Yu Hu, and both of us are soldiers of the Second Corps." ”
Lu Chen nodded and said, "It's no problem for the two of you to cooperate with General Chen to handle the matter of the Liu Mansion, right?" All the property confiscated by the Liu Mansion this time is recorded by the two of you, if there is any mistake, only the two of you are asking! ”
Yu Hu didn't know how to answer, but Xiao Wang had already bowed to the end, and he simply received the order: "Please rest assured!" The two of us will definitely live up to the trust of adults! "I must also loot the whole family of the Liu Mansion! He added in his heart.
"Well, in that case, you don't want to stay here any longer, and hurry up with General Chen to carry out the orders of this officer. Remember, early tomorrow morning, the two of you must report the details of this matter to the county government and report it to the official for knowing. Lu Chen waved his hand and said.
Soon, more than a thousand soldiers withdrew like a tide under Lu Chen's drinking order, and only the people of the border city who were watching were left at the scene, as if they couldn't believe what was happening in front of them, they were quiet for a long time, and the scene erupted into bursts of violent cheers!
Listening to everyone's support for him, and watching the people applaud him, Lu Chen gave birth to a sense of accomplishment that he had never felt before for the first time.
Liu San suddenly collapsed to the ground......
Xiao Wang took the order and left, and as he left, his eyes flashed with excitement and scorching light......
