The sky was already a little numb and bright, and dozens of former officials guarding the mansion in Liu County were all crookedly leaning on their chairs and napping at this time, and some were even snoring like thunder.

And Liu Yuming, who was lying on the couch in the inner house, was preoccupied, tossing and turning.

"Master, what's wrong with you today?" The naked fifth aunt smiled and hugged his shoulder, "Why is it so useless?" Is it that you have eaten too much flower wine these days, so that those little goblins have emptied the old man's body? ”

"Get out of the way!" Liu Yuming impatiently pushed the fifth aunt away too roughly, "The master is thinking about things here!" ”

"Humph! I knew that the master just likes the new and hates the old, and he got tired of spoiling me for a few days! The fifth aunt whimpered too aggrievedly.

Liu Yuming didn't care about the fifth aunt at all. He looked at the window lattice paper that was gradually whitening, and secretly thought that Chen Dianshi and Long Si had been gone for an hour, why hadn't they come back yet? Something must have happened?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but regret his recklessness a little. But the wood is already in the boat, and it is useless to regret it. Besides, Ding Heying has been arrested, and he can't do it if he doesn't want to kill him.

While he was thinking wildly, the door was suddenly kicked open. This time it came down so suddenly, so frightened that Liu Yuming jumped up from the bed with a snort. The fifth aunt was even more frightened, shrunk into the quilt and shivered.

"Take down the criminal officer Liu Yuming!" Sun Chuanting's majestic voice came from outside the door. Four wolf-like servants immediately broke in and dragged Liu Yuming out of bed without saying a word.

Liu Yuming had a "boom" in his head, knowing that this time he was completely planted. But he couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head, he had obviously gathered dozens of officials in the mansion, how did Sun Chuanting come in unnoticed?

But he still refused to admit defeat, and immediately pulled his neck and shouted: "Lord Zhixian, what is the crime of the lower official?" You led the crowd to break into the official mansion at night, beat the lower official for no reason, and insulted the lower official's family, and the lower official wanted to impeach you! ”

"Since the time when you argued, but not now!" Sun Chuanting said coldly, "Come on, escort the criminal officials Liu Yuming and Yu Shijie back to the county yaguotang, and the Liu Mansion will be sealed immediately, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave!" Also, wrap him in a sheet! ”

When passing through the front hall, Liu Yuming found that the dozens of former servants were also tied up like zongzi, and finally completely despaired.

In fact, the previous experience was very simple, although Zhu Youzhen did not let Lin Youkun's Qin Wangwei take people, but he had to ask them for help in the surveillance work. Qin Wangwei has a good hand in a hundred, and it is not easy to deal with this rabble.

After knowing that all the people in the mansion were asleep, Zhu Youzhen and Sun Chuanting led dozens of new servants to quietly surround Liu's mansion.

That Zhao Er was really good, quietly climbed over the courtyard wall, and opened the door of the mansion carefully. The officials took off their boots and marched slowly barefoot, until they entered the hall, and then they shouted and took down all the old officials who were still asleep.

At this point, the weapons such as single knives, water and fire sticks and leather whips that were swept away by the old officials were considered to have returned to the county government. Some of the new officials who were anxious simply took off the uniforms of the old officials and put them on directly. As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and Buddha rely on gold, and this change of clothes suddenly swept away the spirit of the peasants and looked majestic.

The crowd escorted a group of prisoners back to the county office, and it was already dawn at this time, and the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased. When the common people saw that the usually arrogant and unscrupulous county officials, the chief bookkeeper and others had become prisoners, they all clapped their hands and applauded, and everyone praised the newcomer Sun Zhixian to eliminate harm for the people.

Especially that Liu Yuming didn't care an inch, only covered his body with a sheet, but he couldn't cover his fat body tightly, which looked extremely funny. Some of the little boys made a mistake and jumped over to tear a piece of the sheet, just exposing Liu Yuming's crotch. The children happily aimed at this part and threw stones, smashing Liu Yuming into a scream.

Entering the county government hall, Sun Chuanting sat down after turning back to the public court case, and said majestically: "Ascend to the court!" With prisoners Liu Yuming, Yu Shijie, Chen Lei! ”

"Wow! Military! The station guard struck the ground with a fire stick, making a terrifying sound.

At this time, the people outside the hall were already standing onlookers, crowding the county government to the brim, and everyone wanted to see how to interrogate these corrupt officials.

Liu Yuming and Yu Shijie relied on their identities and stubbornly refused to kneel there.

Sun Chuanting slapped the shocked wood and said, "Why don't you kneel?" ”

"The lower officials are not guilty!" Liu Yuming hurriedly said, "The lower official is also an official of the imperial court, and he has his own dignity." The magistrate acted like this, and the officials were not convinced! ”

"Hey, hey, hey!" Zhu Youzhen came out of nowhere, "If you don't kneel, don't kneel!" Bring Chen Dianshi with you! ”

After a short time, the two officials dragged Chen Lei up like a dead dog. Liu Yuming and Yu Shijie looked at each other, and couldn't help but be frightened! It's only been more than an hour, but Chen Lei is already unrecognizable, his two eyes are burning like rotten peaches, and he lies on the ground, only out of breath but not in breath, and he can't live when he sees it.

"You, you're so bold!" Liu Yuming pointed at Zhu Youzhen and gritted his teeth and said, "Chen Dianshi is an official of the imperial court, you dare to torture Chen Dianshi like this with non-torture, it's really the opposite!" ”

"Familiar to familiar, sue you for slander like talking nonsense." Zhu Youzhen said seriously, "Which eye did you see that I made Chen Dianshi into such a virtuous character?" Obviously, he broke into the prison by himself, fell into the pit, and was blinded by lime burning. There are dozens of jailers and prisoners who testify about this, how can they blame others! ”

"You, you, you..." Liu Yuming trembled with anger, but he couldn't say a whole sentence.

Zhu Youzhen glanced at Feng Wuyi, the head of the station. Feng Wu understood, immediately picked up the water and fire stick, and scolded viciously: "The lord asked you to kneel, didn't you hear?" As he spoke, there was a stick in the crook of Liu Yuming's leg.

The water and fire stick, also known as the "water and fire ruthless stick", is about the same as the eyebrows, the thickness of the wrist, the top is black and the bottom is red, and the bottom is also wrapped with a flat iron. Liu Yuming is usually pampered, and he hasn't even scratched his fingers, so how can he withstand the power of this stick, he immediately screamed and fell to his knees.

And Yu Shijie, the chief bookkeeper, also understood that he would not be able to pass this level if he didn't bow his head, so he had to kneel down as well.

Sun Chuanting asked Senran: "Liu Yuming, Yu Shijie, Chen Lei, and others, as officials of the imperial court, colluded with the officials and officials of the court, deceived the superiors and subordinates, embezzled the land endowment, indiscriminately sent forced labor, and privately changed the account books, which is simply lawless!" When the accomplice was arrested, you were afraid of the East Window incident, and wanted to sneak into the prison to kill people! Now that the facts are there, people have stolen goods, and the evidence is ironclad, what else do you have to say! ”

That Chen Lei was already half dead, so naturally he couldn't answer. Yu Shijie also knew that it was useless to say more, so he just lowered his head and didn't say a word.

Only Liu Yuming was still dying, shouting: "Lord Zhixian! Although you are the county magistrate and I am the county magistrate, and you are higher than me in terms of official qualities, you and I are colleagues in the same county, and you are not qualified to interrogate me! Even if what you said is true, then you will know that the lord of the house will be sent down. If you say the next day now, I won't accept it! ”

Sun Chuanting was furious when he took the case, and was just about to order the official to reprimand Liu Yuming for dozens of boards, but Zhu Youzhen stopped him with a smile: "Master, this Liu Xiancheng is a court official, as the saying goes, you can't punish the doctor, and so many people are watching, if Liu Xiancheng is beaten to the bottom, our county government will not look good, right?" ”

Sun Chuanting knew that Zhu Youzhen was going to be bad again, so he smiled and said, "It's up to the master." What happens next? ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled but didn't answer, paced to the entrance of the hall, and shouted: "Take Long Si!" ”

Not long after, Long Si was also dragged to the court. The place where he had been cut by the knife was not bandaged at all, and he was bleeding all the way, dragging a shocking line of blood on the ground.

But the onlookers were very relieved, and a burst of thunderous cheers erupted!

It turns out that although Long Si is the head of the fishing team, he is the local tyrant. With the protection of Liu Xiancheng, he has formed an underworld organization that is both an official and a bandit in Jingyang County, and its members are those officials.

Needless to say, there is no need to talk about bullying and dominating the market on weekdays, and the most hateful thing is that Long Si loves to spoil women from good families. The women who had been abused by him knew that they would not win the lawsuit, so they either swallowed their anger or committed suicide because they were humiliated. Over the years, there have been seven or eight women who have died at the hands of Long Si, and the common people dare not speak out.

At this time, seeing Long Si so virtuous, how could the people of Jingyang not cheer! Among the onlookers were also the family members of the humiliated women, and they were even more emotional at this time, so they wanted to rush to the hall and beat Long Si.

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly asked the officials to stop the people, and said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers! Heaven is clear, retribution is unpleasant, and the wicked will have evil retribution! The imperial court has its own laws, and traitors like Long Si will be severely punished! But at the moment, the old man has not yet asked about the case, and there are still many crimes that have not been confessed in this Dragon Si, so please calm down. ”

When he said this, the people calmed down. Zhu Youzhen turned around and came to Long Si's side, looked at his bleeding place and shook his head: "You can't treat prisoners like this, you have to stop the bleeding and inflammation quickly, otherwise he will die!" Okay, let me put some medicine on you! ”

As he spoke, he touched it from his bosom, took out a packet of white powder, and sprinkled it on Ryusi's wound.

The dragon four was already unconscious, and as soon as the powder touched the wound, it immediately hurt to the bone marrow, and the howling sound changed its taste!

"You... What kind of medicine did you put on him? Liu Yuming asked in a trembling voice.

"It's early in the morning, and the pharmacy hasn't opened yet, where do you let me grab the medicine?" Zhu Youzhen said with a wicked smile, "It just so happens that my population is relatively heavy, and I think the food in our county government is too light, so I bought a bag of salt last night..."

"What? This is... Salt particles? You want to sting him! Liu Yuming shouted angrily and fearfully.

"The so-called good medicine is good for the disease!" Zhu Youzhen's eyes turned, and his sharp gaze stared directly at Liu Yuming, "The high concentration of salt can dehydrate bacterial cells and prevent infection, and the benefit to him is a big drop!" Liu Xiancheng, why don't you try it too? ”

"Xiaguan... The lower official is guilty! Liu Yuming's face turned green with fright, and finally collapsed completely, kowtowing to Sun Chuanting again and again, "The lower officials know everything, they say everything, and the county adults must not be tortured!" ”

"Wouldn't it have been over sooner!" Zhu Youzhen smiled evilly, "Actually, I'm reluctant to waste this bag of salt on you!" ”
