Chapter 755: Imprisoned

The second son of the Chen family was taken away from one of the most famous Qinglou in Jiujiang City by the servants of the government, and because he was having fun until the early hours of the morning last night, he was sleeping with two delicate red-card girls in his arms. Bayi Chinese Net =≈≤.

Originally, the second son of the Chen family was not afraid of the servants in the yamen, he was the son of the Chen family, and the officers of the county government and the government government had to respect him for three points.

But this time the situation was different, Lu Xiaoming personally issued a detention order, so no matter how unhappy Chen Ergongzi was, he had to endure the unhappiness in his heart and get up from the bed and go to the mansion.

Lu Xiaoming is not someone he can afford to provoke, even if his father Chen sees Lu Xiaoming, he is respectful, not to mention that he is a powerful son who relies on his father's power to do evil?

Due to his indulgence last night, Chen Ergongzi yawned all the way, was sluggish, and looked sick, don't look at his youth but he has long been hollowed out by wine.

With the arrival of Second Prince Chen, the people who were chattering in the government office quieted down one after another, and looked at Second Prince Chen who was yawning with his hands over his mouth.

"The student has met the prefect." After entering the court, Chen Ergongzi glanced at Zhang Laohan who was kneeling there, and then bowed to Lu Xiaoming with strong spirits.

It's also ridiculous to say, although Chen Ergongzi doesn't learn and has no skills, but he has the identity of a prisoner of the country, of course, this is not what he was admitted to, but the family spent a lot of money to help him donate, called "donating prison".

In fact, the prisoners who donated to the prison were not recognized by the scholar class, and were only a means for the imperial court to increase its financial revenue, and could not be compared with those regular prisoners of the Guozijian, not only did they have different statuses, but also those regular prisoners had the opportunity to become officials.

As for the prisoners who donate to prisons, although they also bear the name of prisoners, they do not have the political rights that regular prisoners want, but they can be regarded as having fame, and they can skip the county examination and the government examination to directly participate in the college examination to obtain the merit of Xiucai.

The children of powerful people like Chen Ergongzi only know how to eat, drink and have fun on weekdays, and they definitely don't think about taking the Xiucai exam, but they just want the fame of a prison student, as a show off.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Ergongzi called himself a "student" in front of Lu Xiaoming, but he didn't have to kneel and salute.

"Chen Hu, do you know why this official sent you here?" Lu Xiaoming looked at Chen Ergongzi quietly and asked.

Chen Ergongzi's name is Chen Hu, originally Lu Xiaoming was still having a headache and wanted to go to Hushui Town to arrest Chen Hu, Hushui Town is the territory of the Chen family, the Chen clan is strong, and it is difficult to take Chen Hu away from Hushui Town.

In addition, the Chen family also has a lot of connections in the government, so maybe before the government officials arrived in Hushui Town, Chen Hu had already disappeared from Hushui Town, and it would be difficult to find him again.

Master Chen would never have thought that he would eventually "harm" Chen Ergongzi by sending him to Jiujiang City, making him fall into the net, and Lu Xiaoling detained Chen Ergongzi and summoned him to the government without much effort.

In fact, Master Chen didn't expect that Lu Xiaoming, who accepted the money, would turn his face, after all, Master Chen is not a person to bully.

Although Lu Xiaoming is the largest in Jiujiang, there are still the governor's yamen, the political envoy's yamen and the inspection envoy's yamen, as well as the inspection of the imperial history, and the relationship between Master Chen and these yamen is good, and now he is hugging the thigh of the new envoy, so how can he be afraid of Lu Xiaoming?

It was precisely because of his overconfidence that Master Chen made a big mistake and despised Lu Xiaoming's revenge, so he did not send Chen Ergongzi away as soon as Lu Xiaoming sent someone to find Zhang Laohan, so that Chen Ergongzi easily fell into Lu Xiaoming's hands.

"Back to the prefect, the students don't know, and I hope the adults will make it clear." Facing Lu Xiaoming's question, Chen Ergongzi looked confused, bowed to Lu Xiaoming and said.

He has been having fun in the Qinglou for the past few days, drunk and dreaming of death, so he doesn't know that Lu Xiaoming sent someone to take Zhang Laohan to the mansion.

In fact, someone once told Chen Ergongzi about this incident, but Chen Ergongzi was so drunk that he could remember it.

Originally, Chen Ergongzi wanted to find out the news from the government officials who detained him, but those officers had been told by Lu Xiaoming in advance, so no one dared to reveal the truth to him, but only told him that he was involved in a case and asked him to testify.

As for Zhang Laohan kneeling in the lobby, Chen Ergongzi had never seen him before, so naturally he didn't know what kind of case he was involved in.

Lu Xiaoming couldn't help but shake his head helplessly when he heard this, he didn't know why Master Chen had such an uncompetitive son, and he didn't know what happened when it came to the end.

"Chen Hu, can you plead guilty?" So, Lu Xiaoming asked the messenger on the side to read out Zhang Laohan's statement aloud in front of Chen Ergongzi, and then asked in a deep voice quietly.

"Back to the prefect, the student has not done such a dirty thing, he is falsely accusing the student, please ask the prefect to call the shots for the student!"

Chen Ergongzi didn't expect someone to dare to sue him, he was stunned at first, and then angrily stretched out his hand and pointed to Zhang Laohan, who was kneeling there, and said to Lu Xiaoming.

"Lord Prefect, what the villain said is true, he harmed the villain's son, daughter-in-law and daughter, please give justice to the villain." Hearing this, Zhang Laohan kowtowed to Lu Xiaoming, and said with a sad and angry expression, and blood soon flowed from his forehead.

"Lord Prefect, the student has never seen his son and others at all, how can he harm them?"

Chen Ergongzi immediately sneered when he heard this, glared at Zhang Laohan and then arched his hand to Lu Xiaoming and said, "My lord, students have studied the books of sages since childhood, and they have never done anything wrong with the deeds of saints. ”

Hearing this, the people who were watching the excitement at the scene suddenly burst into a commotion, talking to each other, whispering, I didn't expect Chen Ergongzi to be able to say such shameless words, if Chen Ergongzi is a good person, then there is no villain in the Jiujiang realm!

Chen Ergongzi heard the whispered discussions of those people, and his expression couldn't help but become a little embarrassed, and then he looked at the people gathered outside the hall viciously.

Out of fear of Chen Ergongzi, the discussion on the scene immediately stopped, and people lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.

"Humph!" Seeing this, Chen Ergongzi's face showed a hint of pride, and he was very satisfied with the fear of those people.

Lu Xiaoming's brows furrowed slightly after seeing the scene in front of him, and he felt that Chen Ergongzi was too rampant, and he dared to show off his son-in-law in the court, didn't he know that those people were afraid of his father Chen and not him, a loser.

"This case is too complicated and full of suspicions, so the official decided to investigate and verify it first, and then open a court trial three days later."

Since Chen Ergongzi did not admit his guilt, Lu Xiaoming pondered for a while and then announced in a loud voice expressionlessly, "All the people involved in the case will be temporarily detained in prison until the facts of the case are clarified, and no one will be allowed to see them without the permission of the official, and the violators will be severely punished!" ”

"Quit." As he spoke, Lu Xiaoming slapped the startling wood in his hand vigorously, got up and walked towards the back hall.

"Big ...... Adults, prefects, and students are also going to be imprisoned? Chen Ergongzi was originally proud, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, and then asked Lu Xiaoming in a loud voice.

Lu Xiaoming ignored Chen Ergongzi and walked away surrounded by everyone, which made the people watching outside the hall couldn't help but look at each other, and from Lu Xiaoming's words just now, they heard that Chen Ergongzi seemed to be among the people who were imprisoned in the prison.

The next moment, this speculation was confirmed, and the two messengers stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation to Chen Ergongzi, signaling that he wanted to go with them.

"Quick, go tell my dad I'm in prison!"

Second Prince Chen was in a hurry, he never expected Lu Xiaoming to lock him up in prison, and hurriedly shouted at the entourage outside the hall, his expression was a little flustered, he had never experienced this kind of thing before, so the person he could rely on now was naturally Master Chen.

"The prefect put the second son in prison!"

"It seems that the prefect is here for real this time, maybe the grievances of the Zhang family can be washed away."

"Chen Papi is extremely doting on the second son, how can he sit idly by?"

"What do you think is going on, isn't the relationship between the Chen family and the prefect very good?"

"Could it be that the prefect is jealous that Master Chen didn't give him a gift?"

"Shhhh Be quiet, you are not afraid of being arrested and put in prison if you talk about the court officials! ”

……

After Chen Ergongzi was taken away by the servants, the people gathered outside the hall began to talk about it, and they were extremely shocked that Chen Ergongzi was imprisoned.

Lake Town.

"Master, it's no good, the second son was imprisoned by the prefect."

When Master Chen was flipping through the account books in the study, a servant rushed in panting, and reported in a panic.

"What's going on?" Master Chen recognized this subordinate as the entourage of Second Prince Chen, so he put down the account book in his hand and asked in surprise, with a look of concern in his eyes.

"Master, you have to save the second son as soon as possible, the prison is dark and damp, how can the second son bear that kind of crime!" The subordinate wiped the sweat from his forehead, told the story of the incident one by one, and said anxiously.

"Master, the prefect has accepted our gift, and now he is actually attacking the second son, which is really not faithful." The butler standing on the side couldn't help but say angrily when he heard this.

"It seems that the prefect thinks that the money we give is too little, so he gives us a dismissal." Master Chen's brows furrowed slightly, and he said coldly, "This dog official, it seems that the dog is jumping off the wall in a hurry, and he wants to make another fortune before leaving!" ”

Obviously, at this moment, Master Chen has not realized Lu Xiaoming's true intention of doing this, thinking that Lu Xiaoming used Chen Ergongzi to blackmail him to ask for money, as long as he gave money, then other people in the Jiujiang Territory would not dare not give it.
