Chapter Seventy-Nine: Trial

Qian Buli was even more puzzled, according to his previous temper, he had already used thunderous means to deal with the county lord in the name of molesting the eldest princess of the empire, but this dilapidated mansion caused Qian Buli's doubts, so he decided to wait until Meng Tietou and the others came back.

Who knew that the news that Meng Tietou and the first few people brought back would not be of much help, Qian Buli groaned for a while, and motioned to Cheng Da behind him to bring the county lord in.

Seeing that the county lord was trembling and cautiously rubbing into the house, Qian Buli shook his head and smiled: "Tell me your name." In fact, Qian Buli already knew the name of the county lord from the cover of the county chronicle, and the reason why he deliberately asked nonsense was to let him enter his role faster.

"Xiaguan... Zhu Qunyi. ”

"You know what you've done yourself, right? Do you need me to remind you? Qian Buli glanced at him as he spoke, and his guards glared at Zhu Qunyi together, especially Cheng Da, who approached Zhu Qunyi from the side, his eyes rolled ill-intentionally on Zhu Qunyi's neck, and his breathing gradually became heavier.

Zhu Qunyi clearly felt the hot air spurting from Cheng Da's nostrils, panicked in his heart, and fell to the ground with a "plop": "The lower official is guilty, the lower official is guilty... ”

Qian Buli looked at Zhu Qunyi for a while, suddenly skipped the 'crime' and changed the topic: "Your mansion is too ruined, why don't you repair it?" ”

Zhu Qunyi was stunned for a moment, although he didn't understand why the person in front of him suddenly asked this question, but he immediately accompanied a smile: "My lord, you don't know, Fuzhou is a vast and sparsely populated place, and nearly half of the Tu people are still like their ancestors, living by hunting wild animals in the mountains and forests, and it is not easy for them to pay their respective taxes before the end of the year, and the money for repairing the mansion can't be squeezed out at all, so they can't... You can't drive people to their deaths! Zhu Qunyi had the courage to say this, and observed Qian Wu's expression with apprehensive eyes.

"Whether you repair your mansion or not is your business, and it has nothing to do with me." Qian Bu did have some appreciation, it was not easy for Zhu Qunyi to say this, but his face was still silent: "Your Highness will leave for Fuzhou Mansion in three days, you have to collect a batch of money and grain within three days, if you do it well, I will not blame you for the mistakes you committed before, if you don't do it, I will punish you for both crimes, you should know what the end is!" ”

"This... Zhu Qunyi said with a difficult face: "My lord, although Fuzhou is stronger than the bitter cold land in the north, but... It's hard, too! ”

"You mean you can't do it?" Qian Buli's voice turned cold.

Zhu Qunyi gasped, he first glanced at Qian Buli, and then looked at the surrounding guards, among them, the complexion and face shape of Meng Tietou attracted his attention, although the Tu people are the same as the Ji Zhou people, they are all yellow-skinned, but there are also a little differences, the forehead of the Tu people is slightly bulging forward, and the bridge of the nose is a little small, and it is also a little collapsed, are these soldiers Turks? But the law of Ji Zhou does not allow the Tu people to be soldiers!

At this dangerous juncture, Zhu Qunyi's mind turned very fast, rather than sit and wait to die, it is better to gamble! As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Qunyi made up his mind, his head suddenly raised, and his voice was much louder: "My lord, the lower official has something to say!" My Luling County is barren land, there is not too much property, the people are living in poverty, and even food and clothing cannot be guaranteed, you asked me to collect money and grain within three days. Are you going to ask me to take what little food they have and starve them to death? Xiaguan... Can't do it! The more Zhu Qunyi spoke, the more excited he became, he casually took off his official hat and threw it on the ground, and began to take off his official robe again: "The lower official knows that he is guilty, please let the adults fall, and the lower official will never complain!" ”

Meng Tietou and the others were very moved when they heard that there were such good officials in the world who thought about the Turkish people, and they couldn't help but cry when they thought about the tragedy in their village, and even Cheng Da and other guards showed admiration in their eyes. Only Qian Buli looked at Zhu Qunyi with a smile and didn't say a word. Although Zhu Qunyi's performance is in place, playing this set in front of Qian is tantamount to getting an axe in the class!

From Zhu Qunyi's observation of himself, to his surprise when he made a discovery, as well as the absolute flickering in his eyes when he made up his mind, and finally the nervousness when waiting for the hair to fall, none of these can escape the eyes of Qian Qi. There are many people in the world who can do not change their faces at the moment of life and death, but there are few people who can completely control themselves, and the turbulent waves in their hearts will always show a trace of a star through their eyes, cheeks, and voice, and this trace of a star is enough for Qian Buli!

"Is this what you are talking about?" Qian Buli's indifferent voice sounded in the hall.

Zhu Qunyi couldn't see any clues on Qian Buli's face, but the reactions of Meng Tietou and Cheng Da and others were obvious, and Zhu Qunyi was reassured: "My lord, as long as you can let go of the people of Luling County, I, Zhu Qunyi, will never give up!" ”

"If I kill you like that, you'll be a hero for centuries... But I'm going to stink for 10,000 years. Qian Buli stood up with a smile and circled around Zhu Qunyi: "Since you are willing to sacrifice yourself for the people of Luling County, then you should also sacrifice for me once, anyway, you will die sooner or later." ”

Meng Tietou couldn't bear it in his heart, and just wanted to open his mouth to plead, Cheng Da's gaze had already fallen coldly on his face, and his eyes were full of murderous intent. This is the difference between a recruit and a veteran, although Cheng Da also admires Zhu Qunyi, but if the commander wants Zhu Qunyi to die, he Cheng Da will not hesitate to start, and if a small soldier dares to obstruct the commander's decision, he will not be merciful, his hand is already on the hilt of the sword.

Zhu Qunyi was even more nervous, but at this moment he had no room to retreat: "My lord, please say, as long as the lower official can do it, the lower official will not refuse." ”

"What I want you to do is simple, and you can do it." Qian Buli casually took out a throwing knife and threw it on the ground: "Pick it up and stab me, so that I have a good reason to execute you." ”

Zhu Qunyi was stunned, his eyes looked directly at the knife on the ground, and he couldn't make a sound for a long time.
