Li Shun wondered on the side: Did I write it like that? However, this judgment is also legitimate, when people have stumbled, they should be given a chance to repent and reform, it seems that they are always the life of the master. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Fei ordered Hu Damao and the people involved in this case to be brought out of the county jail, and they knelt down in the lobby.

"Hu Damao and the others listened to the verdict, the real offender has been punished, you are all guilty, now released on the spot, in addition, among you who have been punished, go home to find a doctor, find Lang Zhong to treat, the medical expenses to the county office, my lord, I will reimburse you, and the lost work expenses during this period will also be compensated, okay, get up, go home"

Lu Fei's verdict was not a verdict, which led to the fact that everyone in and out of the hall was dumbfounded, and they all muttered in their hearts, why did the county master speak in such a tone, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an official is judging a case, but it seems that there is a chatting between brothers, but the people like this kind of official, and the kind of official who takes a tone with a mouth is too far away from them.

As soon as Lu Fei's words fell, there was silence all around, and after a while, the crowd began to riot, some people clapped their hands, and then someone shouted, "Master Lu is wise" So all kinds of praise came and went, and it lasted for a long time.

Hu Damao and the others in the hall looked at each other, and it took a long time to react, and they thanked each other one by one.

"You're welcome, you're welcome" Lu Fei in the hall was supported like this for the first time in his life, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only grin and arch his hands and say, "You're welcome, you're welcome"

Li Shun gently tugged at his clothes, and when he realized that he was a county magistrate, he immediately sat up again, patted the shocked wood, and "retreated"

The small garden of the county magistrate is fragrant with flowers and the sound of cicadas.

A big mulberry tree with two thicknesses grows quietly in the garden, and I don't know which county planted it, but now it is luxuriant, spreading shade.

Lu Fei sipped fragrant tea, crossed his legs, crooked on the recliner, his eyes narrowed slightly, Zhao Bantou and tax official Wang Youcai knelt aside, not even daring to raise their heads, Li Shun stood behind him and kept waving the folding fan.

"Say, didn't you say that there was an inside story, why didn't you speak?" Lu Fei's eyes opened a slit, "Don't kneel, get up, this is not a public court, it's really awkward to have someone kneeling in front of you"

The two stood up slowly, and Wang Youcai didn't dare to come out with a white face.

Zhao Bantou untied the knife at his waist, held it high, and flicked the scabbard back and forth.

"What do you want to do? Put it down, put it down" Lu Fei was taken aback, the knife is a dangerous item.

"Master, this official knife was passed down to the villain by the villain's grandfather's generation"

Lu Fei's eyes lit up, and he put his mind at ease, thinking that this Zhao Bantou was not a person who dared to use a knife to cut the county master, "Yo, it's an antique, it's worth a lot of silver, oh no, what do you want to say?" ”

Zhao Bantou paused, "The villain's father handed over this knife to Xiao's hand before he died, and said that the lifeblood of the court lies in the county governance, and the lifeblood of the county governance lies in the government servants.

Lu Fei's words attracted Lu Fei's silent approval, nodding his head slightly, it is not easy for a team leader to say this, "Then do you have this rod in your heart?" ”

Zhao Bantou lowered his head, "I pretended it, and then I lost it"

"Why did you lose it?"

"People are under the roof and have to be lost"

Lu Fei stood up suddenly, "Let's be straight, whose idea is it to raise taxes privately?" ”

Zhao Bantou said, "I saw the old man in the lobby just now to judge the case, and the villain saw that the old man was pretending to be the people in his heart, although the villain was an unofficial and tasteless team leader, but he also had the idea of asking for the people's life."

Lu Fei waved his hand, "Don't always be a villain and a villain is short, do you understand human rights?" I don't understand, then remember, in the future, I will use 'I' in the master's self-proclaimed, you know, so that the master is comfortable to listen to, continue to say, and talk about the point"

Zhao Bantou listened to it and felt even warmer in his heart, "Since the departure of the master's predecessor, Lord Song, Wang Xiancheng has been in charge of all matters in the county, and the additional taxes and silver have also been set by Wang Xiancheng himself, not only this, but all tax items in the county have been increased."

Lu Fei must have been angry, and pointed at Wang Youcai's nose, "Okay, you are a king and a wealthy, such a big tax adjustment, your dignified tax official actually said that he didn't know?" Do you dare to fool me? ”

Wang Youcai trembled and was about to kneel, but Zhao Bantou spoke again, "Master, you don't have to embarrass him, he really doesn't know that these overcharged taxes have not been recorded."

"What do you mean? Where did the tax money go? ”

Zhao Bantou hung the knife on his waist, took out a burden from his bulging arms, held it in front of Lu Fei with both hands, and knelt down, "Master, villain...... I know that this is a capital crime, but I can't help it, here is one hundred and seventy-eight taels of silver, which is part of the over-taxed silver in the past six months, and the people in the county government have more or less share."

"It's not just you," Lu Fei raised the corners of his mouth and smiled coldly.

"Master Wise, I also let it go, anyway, this team leader should be angry all day long, Wang Xiancheng, the rest of the money is with him" Zhao Bantou said indignantly, with the meaning of ending up with Wang Xiancheng.

"Niu B, the tax money was divided among him like this? It's still privately levied, talents" No wonder Wang Xiancheng won the hearts of the people in the county government, and no one reported him if he committed a big case, and he co-authored it with money to buy people's hearts, but fortunately, this Zhao Bantou didn't completely lose the rod left by his father, and the prodigal son didn't change his money, and this person had to use it well in the future.

Li Shun couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, how could any county magistrate's mouth be dirty, it was really insulting, so he reminded softly, "Master, be cautious"

Lu Fei crossed his waist, and there was a shrew scolding the street, "Be cautious and talk about a fart, come here, go and bring Wang Xiancheng to me"

Wang Youcai knows that the crime is hard to escape, as a tax official, the tax items are not clear, and there is no information about the crime, it is a crime on top of a crime, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the crime of corruption and bribery is heavy and heavy, at this time he felt dizzy, his eyes were dark, fainted to the ground.

Lu Fei ignored it, pointed at Zhao Bantou and said, "Go quickly"

Zhao Bantou shook his head, "Wang Xiancheng is not in the county office, he went to Zhao's mansion in the east of the city early in the morning, and he has not returned."

"No matter where it is, go find it immediately, call him Ma Yu'er over, let the master and I pinch him to death" Lu Fei was angry and happy, originally just thought that this Wang County Cheng was a little worse off in handling the case, a little greedy, and a little more sophisticated, how could he have thought that he had such courage, and even more angry people in the county divided the money according to the head, and the county magistrate, who had been in office for three days, didn't even see a single eldest son, and the joy was that this time Wang Xiancheng was completely dead and counted the silver, and the king of heaven and Lao Tzu couldn't protect him.

At this moment, Wang Xiancheng walked steadily, came to the garden with a proud face, and shouted as he walked, "Lord Lu, your guest has arrived"

There were a total of four people here, led by a young man who was about the same age as Lu Fei, a rich and noble young man, and he looked good, but the black-brown birthmark the size of a broad bean on the side of his nose was a bit of a bad sight, and he walked with a lively spirit, one step at a time, the young master was full of style, and the shrewd Steward Hu followed behind him, not falling a step.

Wang Xiancheng and Master Wu Zishi nodded and invited the two of them to the garden, and glanced at Lu Fei from time to time, with a fearless look.

As soon as Lu Fei saw this Hu steward, he immediately understood a little, presumably this is the so-called master of the Zhao family, the current Ning Wang's fast son-in-law, Zhao Qingfeng, the county master, this Wang Xiancheng moved him out at this time, then the matter is a bit tricky, these two people are embarrassed, a raccoon dog.

Zhao Bantou knew Zhao Junma, and hurriedly turned sideways and said lightly, "Master, the one who left first is Zhao Junma, who is the top name."

When Li Shun saw someone coming, he was shocked, the folding fan in his hand was unstable, and he fell to the ground, Lu Fei saw his panicked appearance and asked, "Master Li, what are you nervous about?" ”

Li Shun smiled silently with an expressionless crooked mouth, how could he not worry, with his understanding of Lu Zhixian these days, Wang Xiancheng was in a catastrophe, but nine times out of ten, this case involved the county master, according to the old man's temper just now, even if Ning Wangye came, he probably wouldn't buy it, these people can be provoked by a county magistrate.

The two sides looked at each other, Wang Xiancheng straightened his chest, looked at Lu Fei, his eyes were full of disdain, and said, "Lord Lu, the county master is visiting"

Li Shun and Zhao Bantou hurriedly knelt and bowed.

In the end, it is the prince and the prince, Lu Fei changed his angry appearance just now, stretched out his hand to meet him with a smile, and shook Zhao Junma's hand, "It turned out to be the county horse master with the top name, the first time we met, I lost my welcome, I lost my welcome."

As soon as Wang Xiancheng saw Lu Fei coming up, he pulled the hand of the county master, and said as if he was uneven, "My lord, you must be too reckless."

Zhao Junma seemed to be a little generous, and waved his hand, "No defense, no defense, at first glance, this Lu Zhixian is an unruly person, and the clichés of red tape will be avoided."

Li Shun and Zhao Bantou secretly pinched a handful of sweat, retreated to the side and did not dare to come out, there is a saying in Susong County, there are thousands of stones on the mountain, and the Zhao family's gold is thousands.

There is a mountain more than 20 miles away from the south of the county seat, called a mountain, which belongs to the remaining veins of Dabie Mountain, and the mountain body is mostly composed of rocks, which stretches for dozens of miles.

Wang Xiancheng was bored and stepped aside.

Zhao Junma glanced at Wang Youcai, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and asked, "Lord Lu, what is this?" ”

"Zhao Bantou, help him down" Lu Fei kicked him, pointed in the direction of the flower hall, and said, "This place is simple, Master Jun Ma please sit in the house, Master Li, serve tea"

After entering the flower hall, the guests and hosts sat down and served fragrant tea.

Lu Fei arched his hand and said, "Master Junma, if you have anything to do, just find someone to tell you, where is the need to run and lie down in person."

Although Zhao Junma is noble, he is also a young man, and the young people are naturally more open to talking, and there is no shelf at this time, so he lifted his legs and said, "I heard that there is a new parent official in the county, and he is similar in age to me, and Wang Xiancheng said it was even more miraculous this morning, saying that Lord Lu is like a god in solving cases, quick thinking, and strange behavior, I am also curious, and I am here to meet."

Wang Xiancheng bent over and echoed.

Lu Fei scolded in his heart: It's okay to bring me such a high hat, what kind heart can you have, I have to deal with you if anyone comes today.
