Volume 2 The Wind and Rain of the Imperial Capital Chapter 157 Killing a Hundred (II)
Around noon, there were more and more pedestrians on the streets in front of the Daxing County Ya, and almost all of them would curiously look at the two criminals who were chained under the porch with wooden shackles on their backs for a long time when they passed by the gate of the county ya, and then whispered on the side, guessing what they had committed and their identities.
Although Li Huan and the others looked very embarrassed, the luxurious clothes on their bodies still made people see at a glance that their identities were very unusual. This aroused everyone's curiosity even more, I don't know where this small county government dared to treat two people with extraordinary identities like this.
In the midst of everyone's speculation, an unpretentious carriage slowly drove over, and when the coachman saw the appearance of the two people, he was so shocked that he let out a cry, and the middle-aged man in the car, who had a somewhat gloomy look, heard the shout, raised the curtain and looked forward, and his face quickly sank: "How can this be true!" ”
Under the breathing hard, the middle-aged man controlled the anger gushing out of his heart, and then took out a famous thorn he was carrying with him and handed it to a relative next to the car: "Go, give this to the people in the county office, and let their county order come out to see me!" ”
The pro hurriedly agreed, and went straight to the county government with a straight face, and when he saw the two messengers ushering, he handed the name thorn in his hand forward: "My lord said, let your county order come out to greet you." ”
When the officer heard this, he took the famous thorn, but he was illiterate, so he could only agree, and then hurriedly entered the yamen. After a while, this famous thorn appeared in Lu Jin's hand, and after seeing the name of Li Gu in the Criminal Department above, he unconsciously showed a sneer: "Sure enough, it's here." Then go out and greet you. As he spoke, he put down the official document at hand, tidied up the official uniform on his body, and then walked out unhurriedly.
In the car outside the door, seeing that the errand officer had been in for a while and no one came out, Li Gu's face became even more ugly: "What a Daxing county order, he is so arrogant, this matter can't be just settled!" ”
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a slight commotion at the door, and then a young man in a cyan official robe walked out, his eyes only swept out, and then quickly fell on the carriage, and then he didn't make any further movements, just looked directly at the carriage, and looked at Li Gu through the curtain.
Li Gu endured for a while, and finally dispelled the idea of letting the other party come forward to greet him before showing up, and gave him an order, and the coachman helped him roll up the curtain, and then bent down and walked out of the carriage: "You are Lu Jin, the commander of Daxing County?" As he spoke, he was already staring at him.
Lu Zhen looked at him without evasion: "This adult is Li Langzhong of the Criminal Department?" Xiaguan Lu Zhen is polite here. He said politely, but he only arched his hand slightly.
Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Li Gu stepped forward with a smile: "Lu County's order doesn't need to be polite, there shouldn't be much to say about why this official came here today, right?" As he spoke, his eyes fell on his son, who was languishing on the ground in front of him, and when he saw Li Huan's semi-unconscious appearance at close range, with injuries on his body and wearing shackles, he only felt distressed and annoyed.
Although he Li Gu has several sons, this Li Huan is the youngest son and has a sweet mouth, so he is the most favored. So even if he left his hometown to become an official in Beijing, Li Langzhong also took him with him so that he could find a good background. Especially when his son did not have any talent in the imperial examination, he put a lot of effort into letting his son associate with the sons and nephews of many officials, hoping to help. It can be said that he treats Li Huan like a pearl in his palm, and he doesn't want his son to be treated like this by the county government today, how can he not be heartbroken and angry?
But Lu County's order in front of him didn't seem to notice his reaction, and said in confusion: "Xia Guan really doesn't know why the adults came. Isn't it true that the Criminal Department has something to explain to him? ”
"You ......" I didn't expect the other party to be pretending to be stupid at this time, Li Gu was even more annoyed, and pointed his finger at Lu Jin, and then looked at his son: "The dog is young Meng Lang, if there is anything that offends Lu County's order, I hope you don't want to investigate it in front of this official." For the sake of his son, he had to temporarily compromise and intercede with this young county magistrate.
Lu Zhen looked at him in disbelief, then at Li Huan locked on the other side, and exclaimed, "He...... Is he really the son of Li Langzhong's family? ”
"What do you mean by that?" Li Gu snorted.
"When he brought people in last night, he kept claiming that he was your son-in-law, but the lower officials didn't believe that the son-in-law of the Langzhong family of the dignified criminal department would be so ignorant of the law and dare to violate the curfew, only saying that this was just a lie he was telling to protect himself. Even if someone came over early this morning to ask for your identity again, the lower officials didn't dare to believe it, and they punished him heavily for breaking into the county office. Unexpectedly, the matter was actually misunderstood by the lower officials. As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed repeatedly, still seemingly unable to accept this fact.
"You ......" Li Gu couldn't see that this was just Lu Jin's excuse to shirk his responsibility, but because he couldn't come up with evidence, he could only swallow this breath raw. After settling down, Fang Cai said with a cold face: "It is precisely because this official thought of this layer that he took this trip in person." The dogs and house slaves didn't understand the rules and caused trouble to the Daxing County Ya, and they also hoped that Lu County would let you go in front of the official. ”
If a person with real power in the criminal department is so low, and he begs for mercy from a county magistrate, this will inevitably make people feel ridiculous if it falls into the ears of the officialdom. But for the sake of his son, Li Gu also admitted it. But the result was much beyond his expectations, in the face of his words, Lu Zhen didn't have the slightest intention of backing down, but shook his head lightly: "I hope Li Langzhong will forgive me, forgive the official for not obeying his orders." ”
"What did you say?" Li Gu looked at Lu Zhen in surprise, almost thinking that he had heard the wrong words, but looking at the other party's firm expression, he knew that there was nothing wrong with his ears.
Lu Zhen also proved this point with words: "The lower official said that my county government can't let this person go." ”
"Bold, my master has come to the door in person, and you still refuse to let go, how are you doing?" The relatives on the side immediately became angry when they heard this, and scolded loudly.
Lu Zhen didn't pay attention to this man's words at all, and just looked at Li Gu. Being looked at by him like this, Li Gu's face turned blue for a while, and then he waved his hand, signaling his entourage not to speak, and then stared back and asked, "Do you have any grudges with this official?" Doesn't even want to sell this little face? ”
"How can the lower official be virtuous, how can he have a grudge against you?" Lu Zhen shook his head without hesitation.
"Then why are you so stubborn?"
"It's about the prestige of the county government, and the officials have to be cautious." Lu Jinzheng replied: "Just a few days ago, Xia Guan had already made thirty decrees in this Daxing County, including one curfew. But anyone who dares to violate this article shall be punished with 30 boards and three days of flail in front of the public. Since Li Gongzi violated this order last night, the lower officials must be impartial, otherwise where is the prestige of the government? ”
"Isn't it possible that Lu County ordered you to be accommodating?" Li Gu didn't pay attention to the reasons he mentioned at all, and just continued: "My son has been beaten by the board, and he has been showing off in public for most of the day, isn't it enough? Could it be that your Lu County Commander has to do such a desperate job for the sake of this false name, and you have to be the enemy of this official? Even saying such words as being an enemy shows how angry Li Langzhong is now, and his mind is a little confused.
"My lord's words are serious, the lower official is just a small county order, and he never dares to be an enemy of anyone, he just wants to do his duty. However, the lower officials understood a truth, if a decree can be changed at will according to people, it will not be convincing at all, and the people will not obey him. Because if I can take away the curfew for you today, tomorrow I will indulge murderers because of others, so the thirty decrees just enacted by the county government are just a piece of paper. Since the adults are in the punishment department, they should know the severity! Lu Jin's words are neither arrogant nor humble, they are reasonable and well-founded, and they can't fault anyone at all.
Li Gu was annoyed by this, but he was also a little speechless, and he didn't know how to respond. He really didn't expect that he would be taught a lesson by a small young county magistrate.
Lu Zhen looked at the other party's face that was a little distorted because of anger, and still said calmly: "And Li Langzhong is in the Criminal Department, so he should be very familiar with the laws and regulations of my Daming. If you really report it truthfully, I am afraid that it will not be 30 boards, and you will be able to pass it in a few days. ”
"You ......" The threat in Lu Jin's words was very clear, making it more difficult for Li Gu to attack. Because he heard it, if he really wanted to use his identity to suppress people, this Lu County Commander would stab the matter to the top, and if someone really wanted to pursue Li Huan, it would be too much trouble.
After his expression changed and he weighed it, Li Gu finally snorted coldly and said, "Lu County Ling is really an iron-faced and selfless official, which really makes this official disrespectful." In this case, it is not easy for the official to force it, I hope you can remember what you said today, and you can do things impartially in the future! Hello do it yourself! With that, he slipped into the carriage without looking back.
When his entourage saw that their master was actually deflated in front of such a county order, they all looked shocked, and after glaring at Lu Zhen fiercely, they drove the carriage away.
Seeing this, Lu Zhen just smiled indifferently, but his eyes flashed with essence. He knew that this incident would soon be heard by the government and the opposition, and his goal would be achieved.
It wasn't until he also walked back to the county office that the people around him who saw all this started talking about it like an oil pot exploding, which was really surprising, enough for the people who saw all this to talk to everyone they knew, it turned out that this Daxing county order was really a responsible, bold enough iron-faced blue sky!
