Xu Xianren sat in the main hall of Lufu, waiting for the arrival of the representatives of the big family in Yanshan County.

The boundary of Yanshan County is not large, and the news will soon spread throughout the city, and the life of the big family is afraid that Xu Xian will mess up, but after half an hour, the people of the major families have come to the Lu Mansion with their own people and horses.

As the patriarch of one of the three major families, Zhu Xing was valued by the people of the major families in the city.

Before they arrived at the door of the Lu family, the people of the various families gathered together to discuss the matter of the Lu family.

Bai Qiyuan, the head of the Bai family, who is also one of the three major families in Yanshan County, said: "Brother Zhonglian, I said before that the new magistrate has some tigers, and he seized power by force as soon as he entered the city. ”

Zhu Xing didn't reply, and a few people from the family next to him came over, and now they are facing the Lu Mansion and not entering, just to discuss a result first.

He Yao, the head of the He family in the city, came over and said, "How to do things?" Do you want to take someone into it? I heard that this magistrate can bring a group of capable people around him, so let's fight with him like this, I'm afraid it's unwise, right? ”

Bai Qiyuan flicked his sleeves and said: "I'm afraid of him, the manpower brought by our various families is at least two or three hundred, how many people can he know from the county yamen?" We are the desire of the people, so we will kill it like this, and the magistrate surnamed Xu will not be able to do it. ”

For a while, everyone had their own opinions, and they didn't make up their minds, and in the end, everyone looked at Zhu Xing, as if they wanted to listen to Zhu Xing's opinion.

Zhu Xing said: "Before, Xu Zhixian invited us to enter the Yamen of Zhixian County, but we didn't go, he suddenly took the Lu Mansion, I am afraid that he will give us a dismount, and now we should bring someone to prevent him from messing around!" This time, you have to bring people in, and you have to make sure that people from outside can enter at all times...... Salute first and then soldier, you can't be rough directly! Go and recruit a little more manpower, and by the way, let the county lieutenant Lu Tieshan prepare, once he does it here, let him take people to take away the military power of the county yamen. ”

The people next to him were all nodding, and even Bai Qiyuan, who advocated being rude before, also praised: "Brother Zhonglian, you want to be thoughtful, this trick is good before the soldiers, I'm afraid that after we go in, we will be alone, and the surname Xu may strike first." ”

Zhu Xing shook his head slightly and said, "If you bring more good hands in, I don't believe he can play any tricks!" Remember, you can't do it without my orders, and you must see what he can say! The people of Lufu, we have to protect it to the end! ”

"Yes, keep it to the end, otherwise it will be our turn next, and we can't let the surname Xu succeed this time!"

"If he doesn't give an explanation, just do him!"

A group of people were filled with righteous indignation, and under Zhu Xing's call, people from all families found good hands and followed Zhu Xing and others into the Lu Mansion.

……

……

As soon as the people from each family arrived at the door, He Yu went to Xu Xian and said: "My lord, the people from the local gentry family in Yanshan County have arrived, and they have brought a lot of people, and they are very prestigious, and they are already waiting outside, saying that they must let you go out to greet you in person!" ”

Xu Xian said disdainfully: "This official is the local magistrate of the imperial court, and he is a parent official, where is the reason why the parent official went out to greet the people of Pingtou?" Can you distinguish between dignity and inferiority? Go out and tell them that the judge is trying the case in the courtyard, so just let them in and listen! ”

He Yu immediately went out to spread the word, and as soon as He Yu left, Liu Bao came over and asked, "My lord, what crime are you going to convict the people of the Lu family?" ”

"The matter of condemnation must be put down." Xu Xian said, "After the people from each family come in, they will naturally know, come and set up a public court in the courtyard!" ”

The soldiers in the courtyard were busy, they needed to move a table and chairs out, and even prepared temporary shocking wood for Xu Xian, and the yacha also came to line up on both sides of the main courtyard.

Half an hour later, just as Zhu Xing, Bai Qiyuan and others led people into the porch, they heard the sound of "might~martial~" in the courtyard.

"What's going on?" Bai Qiyuan and the others were going to enter the courtyard directly, but after hearing this voice, they were afraid in their hearts.

In the back, Yu Cheng, the head of the Yu family, said: "A few, I'm afraid that the new magistrate of the county wants to do tricks inside, and the trial is not in the magistrate's yamen, but he first sent someone to end the Lu Mansion and try the case here, this is a demonstration against us, if we still have to go in to hear the trial, isn't that tantamount to acquiescing to him doing this? ”

Bai Qiyuan also looked at Zhu Xing and said: "Brother Zhonglian, take an idea, if you think it's inappropriate, let's quit and let people come in, and we have to settle accounts with the surname Xu to the end!" ”

Zhu Xingdao: "I'm afraid that this will end up with the new magistrate, he is an official of the imperial court, and he has already died a few magistrates before, does he still have to ......?"

He didn't finish his words, and the rest of the words were no longer said, which seemed to mean that Xu Xian should be going to follow in the footsteps of the previous few dead ghosts.

Bai Qiyuan said: "Then Brother Zhonglian will have an idea!" ”

"Go in and have a look! However, we must advance and retreat in moderation, let the people brought in trap the Lu Mansion first, once the inside moves, we can withdraw as soon as possible, and the people outside can also kill in as soon as possible! After Zhu Xing finished instructing, he immediately waved his hand and said, "If you still believe in the old man, go in with the old man, and always seek justice for the people of the Lu family!" ”

"Yes, yes!" A group of people were also indignant and went inside.

Finally arrived at the courtyard, at this time the courtyard was already lit up by torches, and Lu Haokun, the head of the Lu Mansion, and the rest of the men of the Lu Mansion, the guards and others were escorted aside, Bai Qiyuan and Zhu Xing There were a bunch of people in front of them to open the way, and the two sides were a little tense.

Xu Xian sat behind the table, faced Zhu Xing and the others, and said sharply: "You were invited by this official, why did you bring weapons, is it to rebel?" ”

Bai Qiyuan was a little annoyed when he heard this, and was about to step forward to reason with Xu Xian, but was stopped by Zhu Xing.

Zhu Xing said loudly across a group of guards with weapons in front of him: "The moon is dark and the wind is high, I don't know if the magistrate is here to handle the case, or if there are bandits pretending to be the magistrate, so I don't dare to be careless, so I can only bring people in!" ”

Huang Chong, the second catcher, shouted: "Bold, when you see the magistrate, you still dare to speak wildly?" How did the soldiers and yamen of the county become bandits? ”

Zhu Xingdao: "This Yanshan County is located in a remote place in northern Xinjiang, and it has always been the far boundary of the Emperor of the Mountain, and someone pretends to be a person in the government to deceive, and it is not a double encounter, and the people of this land mansion have always behaved in a proper manner and have never committed adultery, but now they have been forcibly taken down, this is not a thief's act, and what is it?" ”

Xu Xian said with a sharp smile on his face: "What a sharp-toothed Zhu master, this official can be regarded as knowledgeable today." Since you have doubts, speak with incriminating evidence! Come on, bring people to commit crimes! ”
