Chapter IV: Punishment and Rewards

The next morning, the mist had just cleared after the rain.

When I came to the village, two officials came quietly, and came to Lu Sheng's door while inquiring.

Lu Sheng practiced flickering and moving in the pile of rocks, and Lu Sheng rinsed his mouth without image in front of the sun.

"Master Lu—"

When Lu Sheng saw someone coming, he quickly wiped the corners of his mouth and stepped forward.

"Two big brothers, what's wrong?"

"My lord invited Master Lu to go. ”

"Lord Wu, what's the matter?" Although Lu Sheng had a guess in his heart, he still asked softly.

"Master Lu, forgive me, you will know when you go, we don't have to say more. ”

"I'll go too!" Lu Li's suddenly landed beside Lu Sheng. What happened last night, Lu Li no longer dared to let Lu Sheng go out alone. You have to watch it tightly.

"Is it okay?" Lu Sheng asked with a smile at the officer.

"It should be possible, two please!"

Lu Sheng's brother and sister were taken to the public court by the servants, and from a distance, they saw Zhang Biao and the two trembling in the public hall with heavy shackles. When I looked back at Lu Sheng, it was as if I had seen a savior.

"Childe, Childe help, tell the adults quickly...... That silver is really the money you gave to buy the road...... We are not bandits...... It's really not a bandit......"

That's too level. Buy road money, not bandits? Lu Sheng smiled unkindly.

"Smack-"

"There is no noise in the court, come and play 20 boards!"

"My lord, let's shut up, shut up—"

The officials on both sides don't care about you, the adults spoke, so they naturally beat and talked.

Unshackled, brought the bench, and knocked the two of them down with a crackle.

"I've seen an adult at the end of the school!" Lu Sheng stepped forward and saluted.

"Brother Lu, forgive me, this is a big case, and this official has to be cautious, so I have to bother you to come and testify. These two people said that this ingot of official silver was obtained from you, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

"Ah!" Lu Sheng looked at the official silver raised by Lord Wu, and immediately showed a face full of surprise, "Isn't this the imperial treasury silver?

"Childe, no, grandpa, dear grandpa, you are a scholar, you can't frame us like this...... This ingot of silver is obviously ......"

Zhang Biao was also anxious when he heard that Lu Sheng didn't admit it. Ignoring the slabbing on his ass, he hurriedly screamed.

"No, I will never be able to give birth to a grandson as big as you before I have a wife. My lord, the imperial treasury silver is not in circulation, and even if the imperial court sends us silver, it will definitely not bear the official seal of the treasury silver.

My lord, how does this official silver circulate in the world, but it is not a trivial matter, please ask the adults to play the Ming court. ”

"This matter is very powerful, and this official knows it in his heart. Lord Wu nodded solemnly, picked up the shocking wood and slapped it fiercely, "Bold thief, the evidence is conclusive, and you dare to be hard at the end of your death." Come on, hit 30 more boards, and then go to jail. Quit!"

As he spoke, Lord Wu beckoned to Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng asked Lu Li to wait outside the hall, and then followed Lord Wu into the back hall of the county government.

The two came to the flower bed in the backyard of the county government, and Lord Wu sighed at the flowers with a solemn face, "Last night, these two thieves drank flower wine in Qingyuefang. The two pieces of silver at the checkout are exactly this ingot of silver.

After doing such a thing, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and dared to use the treasury silver to have fun. Qingyuefang reported the case overnight with the treasury silver, and the official personally led people to arrest people.

After arresting these two people, the two thieves even stubbornly said that they were obtained from a young man. I listened to the description of the two thieves, and guessed that it was Brother Lu, you called you this morning to ask. ”

"The time of the treasury silver is not trivial, the treasury silver is in the people, there must be a theft of the treasury, this matter can be big or small. Lu Sheng followed suit.

"The origin of this treasury silver, in fact, the official knows. ”

"Your Excellency knows?" Lu Sheng was surprised.

The theft of the treasury silver is a big case, if it was the Suzhou silver vault, it should have been rumored to be full of wind and rain in the city, but Lu Sheng didn't know anything.

"This is the case in March this year, when Brother Lu should have been participating in Chunkui. In the area of Xishan Shufu, an official ship loaded with 3 million taels of silver was hijacked by a gang of thieves.

Even the official ship sailed away, and there was no trace. The three million taels of silver were supposed to be used for the construction of water conservancy in Suzhou, but there was an accident before they arrived in Suzhou.

The prefect was furious, but this gang of bandits was like a heavenly soldier, no matter how we searched, this official ship disappeared without a trace as if the world had evaporated.

And the treasury silver in the hands of those two thieves is, unsurprisingly, the batch of robbed treasury silver. ”

"......I see," Lu Sheng sighed solemnly, but his heart chuckled suddenly. In this way, it is very likely that the big man who had come from home to shelter from the rain the night before was one of the bandits.

I'll go, it's dangerous.

"Originally, the prefect had already lost hope in recovering the three million taels of silver, but he didn't expect it to be a turning point. There were two robbers who killed themselves like this. As long as the mouths of these two robbers can be pried open, it is still possible to recover the treasury silver. ”

The corners of Lu Sheng's mouth twitched slightly.

Hopefully, there is, but probably in the wilderness.

As for cheating Zhang Biao for the two goods, Lu Sheng did not have any psychological burden. The notoriety of these two people, Lu Sheng heard about it since he was a child. After so many years at large, it is already cheap for them to be punished now.

Buzz –

Suddenly, Lu Sheng's mind trembled slightly.

The Punishment Order instantly shone brightly.

Although it was only in the depths of his mind, Lu Sheng clearly felt it.

The light dissipated, and two cards appeared in Lu Sheng's mind.

"Brother Lu!" Lord Wu's call called Lu Sheng's mind back.

"Ah, my lord, I was thinking about something just now. What do you teach?"

"Where and where, I listened to the report of the officials, you still live in a thatched hut?"

"Yes, my parents died early when I was a child, and I lived with my sister, and that thatched hut was the only thing my father and mother left to our brothers and sisters. ”

"Brother Lu is already famous, I have reported your situation to the state government yesterday, and I think your official position will be delivered soon. Now that he has an official body, it seems cold to live in a thatched hut again.

Otherwise, would it be good for our county to build you a new house? Even if you live in an official residence in the future, you must have a decent home. ”

Lu Sheng suddenly became vigilant, and his fists clenched slightly between the calcium carbide fireworks.

"The kindness of the adults has come to my heart, Suzhou Mansion has just been flooded, and it can be described as a waste to be rebuilt. It's really not appropriate to build me a new house at this time.

Moreover, that thatched hut is a relic of the future father's mother, and I am really reluctant.

What's more, the mountain is not high, there is a fairy is famous, the water is not deep, there is a dragon is a spirit, Si is a burrow, but I am Dexin. Thatched hut, nice ......"

Before the words landed, Lord Wu beside him suddenly trembled as if he had been shocked.

The prose is simple, but the artistic conception is far-reaching and deafening. is worthy of being a Jinshi, such a good article blurted out. ”

Lord Wu's face flushed with excitement, and his expression didn't look like he was pretending.

Lu Sheng was slightly embarrassed, smiled and hugged his fists to leave.

Lord Wu didn't stay, and sent Lu Sheng out of the door again. Lu Sheng left the county office, and he faintly heard Lord Wu's voice of admiration behind him.

"Si is a burrow, but Wu Dexin...... The mountain is not high, but the name is immortal...... What a sentence......"

"Brother!" Lu Tan jumped out of a corner without knowing where to go, "that ingot treasury silver ......"

"There's no treasury silver!" Lu Sheng hurriedly interrupted Lu Li's words, "We've never seen any treasury silver, we've never seen it." ”

"Oh!"

Lu Sheng lowered his head and continued to walk, the two cards in his mind still rippling with glass-like brilliance.

Concentrate the spiritual power on one card, "Skill card, Huashan swordsmanship, from Xiaoao Jianghu." Do you use it?"

Lu Sheng did not hesitate and answered yes. For a moment, it was as if an electric current swept through the body. In my mind, I was instantly swept away by a terrible information storm.

Countless figures came to mind. Everyone is concentrating on practicing a set of swordsmanship.

One year, two years, ten years......

It seems to be thousands of years in the sea, as if it is a snap of a finger.

It was just a pause under his feet, but for Lu Sheng, it was the difference between an ordinary person and a swordsman.

The footsteps of the last second are absolutely different from the steps of this second. In the last second, Lu Sheng was still a weak and weak scholar. But in the next second, Lu Sheng was already a swordsman with decades of diligent cultivation and exquisite swordsmanship.

This is the reward of the Punishment Order? so powerful......

But after just a moment of excitement, Lu Sheng immediately calmed down. recalled the power of the martial arts moves in his mind, and then thought of Lu Li's skills.

Lu Sheng suddenly found out sadly that he still couldn't beat him.

Whether Lu Li's moves are as clever as Huashan's swordsmanship, Lu Sheng doesn't know yet. But he knew that Lu Li's palm had smashed a half-foot-thick stone slab.

With Lu Sheng's current swordsmanship, even if he holds a divine weapon, he can only smash the slate into pieces with a sword.

Moreover, the force value of this world is still very high, even with Lu Sheng's pitiful news channel, he also knows that a real martial arts master can cut off the river with one sword, and can repel the water of the galaxy with one palm.

Although there is such a big hanging as the punishment order, it must be low-key, it must be low-key.

Lu Sheng once again focused his mental power on another card.

"Experience card, character, Hu Qingniu, from Heaven and Dragon Slayer, activate the experience card to experience the character for 24 hours, do you want to activate the card?"

"No!"

Lu Sheng hurriedly refused, Hu Qingniu is the top doctor in martial arts novels, and the cards that can save lives at a critical time cannot be wasted at this time.

"Brother, brother!"

Lu Sheng's call woke Lu Sheng up again.

"What's the matter?"

"Brother, what's wrong with you today? You came out of the county government in a daze? Also, why is the county commander of Wu so polite to you? I feel like I'm scolding you......

"Don't talk nonsense, as an official of the same dynasty, you should be polite. ”

"Hmph, I don't think there is anything to be done, and it is either a traitor or a thief. According to me, this Wu County Commander is also a dog official. ”

"Ahri, don't talk nonsense. Lord Wu has been in charge of Zhongwu County for five years, and there has never been a place of dereliction of duty, Zhongwu County is thriving, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"Hmph! Fellow martial artists all say this, as long as the official is a pig brain and fat intestines, then he must be a corrupt official in the fish and meat township. We should do the ...... for heaven"

"Don't talk about your fellow martial artists, since ancient times, Confucianism has been forbidden with martial arts. Besides, your brother and I will soon be officials. ”
