Li Zhi thought about it, and still asked, "Is Lu Huarong innocent?" ”

Seeing Li Zhi's repeated questioning, Lu Hualin was a little unhappy and said: "This official has been repeatedly interrogated, but it is useless!" ”

Li Zhi saw that he was prevaricated by repeated questions, and knew that this Lu Hualin would definitely not punish his younger brother. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info he slapped the scoundrel and the Lu family, which was to give himself an explanation. Since the governor had greeted Lu Hualin and still dealt with it like this, Li Zhi and the civilians did not dare to force it.

"It is acceptable for Lord Tongzhi to deal with it like this."

"Good! The messenger has already put the victim in the class room, so I'll go to the lobby to judge the case, and Li Gongzi will go and see it! ”

Li Zhi entered the lobby and saw that Lu Huarong's ten family members were already kneeling on the ground with a look of imposease. Both sides of the lobby were full of servants holding water and fire sticks, and Lu Huarong stood on the side, looking at Li Zhi with a look of resentment, as if he was not convinced by Li Zhi.

This official and businessman is used to being arrogant, and his brain is obviously not as good as his brother's.

With the support of the governor, the people in the Qing Military Hall gave Li Zhi enough face. Li Zhizhi was guided to stand in the plaintiff's position, and he didn't have to kneel, just stood and waited for Tongzhi to ascend to the court.

The door of the lobby was open, but the door of the yamen was closed, probably because the Tongzhi Lord also knew that his case was unreasonable, and he didn't want the people to watch the case.

With a shout of ascension, Tongzhi Lu Hualin walked in from the back hall, and after he sat down, he slapped the hall wood, and the two classes of officials shouted loudly with water and fire: "Oh! ”

That scene was very majestic, and it frightened the ten Lu family members and scoundrels on the ground into panic.

Lu Hualin sat on the official seat, slapped the stunned wood again, and asked the Lu family on the ground: "Lu Jiu and ten others!" You and others coveted the Li family's industry, and gathered people to make trouble and blackmail the head of the Li family. The plaintiff has complained clearly, the matter has been clarified, and there is no one who is purely spontaneous and has no two masters, so you can plead guilty? ”

Lu Hualin closed the case in one sentence, and there is no need to be responsible for excluding Lu Huarong.

The housekeepers and scoundrels on the ground had already been greeted, and they shouted together at this time: "We are willing to confess our sins!" ”

Seeing that the family members and scoundrels obeyed the command, Lu Hualin's face was overjoyed, and he shouted: "The original circumstances of this matter have been clarified, the defendant has already pleaded guilty, and there is no need for more trial!" ”

"Lu Jiu and ten others, each of them will be punished with forty rods! Set an example! ”

Hearing this, the officials on both sides came up, pressed the prisoners on the ground one by one, and began to beat the boards.

Lee Sik thought he would see the wooden planks flying and the flesh flying, but the reality disappointed him.

These family members, scoundrels and people from the Qing Army Hall are all members of the Lu family brothers, and they are all their own people. The officials raised their boards high and sang loudly, but they beat them gently. The people on the ground also cooperated, and when they went down with a stick, they screamed loudly in pain, as if they had broken their legs, and they pretended to be very miserable.

Li Zhi knew that these were fooling himself, but he couldn't help it. The official level crushes people to death, let alone a civilian? Even if he has the governor's support, he can only watch the play obediently in front of the official.

After a quarter of an hour, the forty boards were finished, and the prisoners on the ground were only broken and bruised, but they were not seriously injured.

However, for Li Zhi, he can slightly punish the Lu family who made trouble, and he also has an explanation.

After the execution, Lu Hualin slapped the shocked wood and shouted, "Leave the hall!" In the sound of the servants of the water and fire sticks, Lu Hualin turned into the back hall and never came out.

Lu Huarong felt that his face was gloomy, glared at Li Zhi, and immediately left the yamen.

The scoundrels on the ground got up and helped each other and walked slowly out of the hall.

When the matter was over, Chen Qishou, the official of the torture room, came to Li Zhi's side again, and asked with a smile: "Li Gongzi, are you still satisfied with this arrangement?" ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "It's okay!" ”

When Chen Qishou heard this, he smiled happily and said, "It's good that Gongzi Li is satisfied!" In front of the governor, Li Gongzi wants to say a few good words for my lord. ”

Li Zhi pretended to be He Shishou's relatives, so that these officials looked at him higher, for fear that Li Zhi would go to He Shishou to complain again. In fact, Li Zhi knows that he has no power and power, and his requirements are very low, as long as Lu Huarong is jealous and does not come to trouble him in the future. He didn't talk to Chen Qishou, nodded, and strode out of the yamen of the Qing Army Hall.

After finishing Lu Huarong's matter, Li Zhi rested at home for a day and thought about the future path.

After Lu Huarong's incident, Li Zhi became more and more aware of the importance of power in this era. If you don't have an official position, sooner or later your property will be seized. Li Zhi decided to seek a position as a military attaché. Judging from the current situation, if Li Zhi had a position as a military attaché, the villains who coveted his own industry would be somewhat deterred.

The civil official position is not good, the civil official position requires a meritorious background, and Li Zhi does not know how many years it will take to pursue fame now. Although it shows that the end of the science field is corrupt, many times it can be solved with money, for example, the Fushe in Jiangnan once controlled the imperial examination. But even if you learn to write traditional Chinese characters, even if you are familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics in order to be able to understand the examiner's questions, it will take years. If you take this road, I am afraid that by the time Li Zhi finally gets the fame and becomes a civil official, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will already enter the customs.

Being a military attache doesn't need to be so troublesome, you can have military merits. Although Li Zhi did not have any military achievements, Li Zhi had silver. With silver, it is also possible to "make" some military exploits.

More importantly, military attachés can justifiably support troops for self-defense, which is an extremely important thing in the late Ming Dynasty. Although the civil officials of the Ming court are now majestic, they have no force, and the future is as fragile as paper paste in front of Li Zicheng and in front of Huang Taiji. And once Li Zhi became a military attache and used future technology to build an advanced armed force, he found the foundation of his life in this era.

Li Zhi made up his mind to seek the position of military attaché.

Li Zhi made up his mind, but he didn't know if it was feasible, so he went to Xu Mince, who was familiar with officialdom, and discussed it with him.

Xu Mince learned of Li Zhi's intentions, glanced at Li Zhi approvingly, and said with a smile: "Little Brother Li also likes to be an official?" ”

Li Zhi said: "It's not that I want to be an official, it's that I can't resist Lu Huarong's generation!" ”

"That's a saying!" Xu Mince paused, and said: "But junior brother Li, let me remind you that this military attache has the duty to defend the land, and it is a capital crime to abandon the land and lose the city on the battlefield. Now that the thieves are raging and the Tartars are fierce, this military attache of Tianjin Wei is not easy to do, and he will lose his head if he is not careful. ”

Li Zhi arched his hand and said, "Li Zhi knows. ”

Xu Mence asked curiously: "Little Brother Li knows this, and he still wants to be a military attaché?" Could it be that Little Brother Li has a magic weapon to defeat the enemy? ”
