Chapter 181: Lie to Me Too Much
Wang Mang's voice fell, and everyone present was stunned.
No one would have thought that Wang Mang would suddenly say such a thing and issue such an order at this time, Qian Guangda and the others looked at Wang Mang like fools, who did he think he was? He actually wanted to take them all down? It's a joke!
But looking at Wang Mang's order, the group of officials who followed Lu Yuan raised their weapons high, Qian Guangda couldn't laugh, stared at his eyes and said loudly: "What do you want to do? This official is the county official of this county, the official of the imperial court, if there is no holy decree, who dares to arrest me?"
As soon as Qian Guangda said this, the officials who had raised their weapons and were about to arrest people couldn't help but set their eyes on Wang Mang, and when Qian Guangda saw that it was effective, he looked at Wang Mang with a sneer and said: "The surname Wang, what kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending to be here? What are the six doors and seven doors, are you really afraid that you won't succeed?" This is Xinyang City, the territory of the official, shouting here to take the official, why are you?"
"Why do you ask me?" Wang Mang grinned and said, "I rely on the Holy Decree!"
"Holy decree?" Qian Guangda's face changed, and then he sneered: "Who are you bluffing? This official will never believe that the imperial court has a holy decree to arrest me!"
"Indeed, there is no decree to arrest you. Wang Mang bowed his head, and then said: " However, the head catcher was ordered by the holy order to thoroughly investigate the case of Wang Wengui, the Weishui River channel, Wang Wengui had been controlled by the head of the catcher in Xinyang City that day, but the bizarre thing is that Wang Wengui actually escaped from Xinyang City, the head of the catcher suspected that someone in Xinyang City was secretly colluding with Wang Wengui, today Lord Lu searched all over the city, on the one hand, it was to punish the illegal acts of these profiteers, on the other hand, it was also the head of the catcher who found that Wang Wengui fled from Xinyang City, and some profiteers in Xinyang City were involved, originally this head catcher only thought that this matter was related to the profiteers, but at this moment I see you ......"
Wang Mang pointed at Qian Guangda with his hand, and said coldly: "This official understands who is the mastermind behind Wang Wengui's escape!"
Qian Guangda looked at Wang Mang with an ugly face and said, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”
"I really don't know?" Wang Mang sneered and said: "This is to find these profiteers to investigate Wang Wengui's escape, and some clues have already been discovered, but you jumped out at this time, do you dare to say that you are not jumping out now to protect these profiteers? Do you dare to say that you are not protecting these profiteers to cover up your cover for Wang Wengui's escape from Xinyang City? I will say that Wang Wengui's escape is strange, if you have your secret guidance, then everything will make sense!"
Qian Guangda opened his mouth wide, his nose was about to make Wang Mang angry, and shouted: "You slander!"
"Slander?" Wang Mang laughed and said: "The clear ones are self-purifying, and the turbid ones are self-turbid, now this head catcher will take you down according to the holy decree, and interrogate them strictly, if it is really irrelevant, naturally let you go, if it is related, then please confess as soon as possible, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin!"
"It's pure slander! It's too much deception!" Qian Guangda shouted, and the wardens, clerks, and officials behind him also shouted, some of them were from the four major families, and some of them were coerced, and now when they saw that the other party was going to move seriously, they were immediately dumbfounded!
Wang Mang ignored the shouting of Qian Guangda and the others, just looked at the officials around him coldly, and said, "What are you waiting for, do you also have something to do with the rebel king Wengui!"
When the officials heard this, they immediately raised their weapons and aimed directly at Qian Guangda and the others, and the officials on Qian Guangda's side naturally did not restrain their hands, and they all raised their weapons, but the momentum was obviously much worse.
Wang Mang looked at all this in front of him, and said coldly: "What's the matter? You still want to resist? At this time, if you are arrested, you can still be regarded as a member of the imperial court sequence, but if you resist, you are a thief!"
Lu Yuan also said: "In the capacity of Xinyang Ling, this official orders you to lay down your weapons and cooperate with the six doors to arrest the head to investigate the case of Wang Wengui's escape!"
The head catcher behind Qian Guangda, you look at me, I look at you, and finally put down their weapons helplessly, as we said, if they really resist at this moment, then they are really traitors, who let the other party One is a person from the six doors of the imperial court, and the other is Xinyang Ling, and the righteousness is on the side of others.
And the most important thing is that you can't beat it! The other party's officials are all drawn from the barracks, and the background of being a soldier is originally stronger than their local government officials, and the other party has a ruthless man Wang Mang who killed Yan Hao's group of people by himself, no matter how you look at it, he will lose.
Seeing the officials around him lay down their weapons, Qian Guangda's heart suddenly turned to ashes, and he shouted unwillingly: "Lu Yuan, you can see clearly, in front of you are Xinyang County Cheng and Liufang Wardens, Clerks and other Xinyang County officials, if we are arrested, how can you govern a county with this county order!"
"......" Lu Yuan glared at the gang of bastards in front of him, angry, these people actually dared to threaten him with these at this time, don't you know that he Lu Yuan wants to come and not eat this set.
Seeing that Lu Yuan was staring and didn't speak, Qian Guangda felt that there was a play, so he continued to shout: "Lu Yuan, if something happens to us, you county magistrate don't want to run away, we are all grasshoppers with a thread, and no one wants to leave anyone!"
Wang Mang said directly at this time: "What a joke, a group of prisoners under the rank dare to threaten the officials of the imperial court!"
Turning his head, Wang Mang looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Lord Lu, can't the dignified Lu family even take out a few small wardens and clerks?"
As soon as Wang Mang's voice fell, the eyes of Qian Guangda and the others who had hoped for it suddenly turned pale, and they suddenly understood that they and the others had lost, and it was not until this time that they knew that they had taken themselves too seriously for a long time.
"Take it all!" Wang Mang gave an order, this time the officials acted quickly, rushed forward viciously, directly knocked down the leading Qian Guangda, and then took down the six-room wardens, the clerk, etc., and finally tied the officials together with a rope, and then looked at Wang Mang and the others: "My lord, what should I do now?"
"The county clerks, the wardens, and the clerks were directly put in prison, and when the officials took time out, they were questioned one by one. Wang Mang commanded, and then looked at the officials and said: "As for these people, except for the leaders who are imprisoned, all the others are taken to the lobby, and one person will be given twenty boards, and one or two silver decoction and medicine will be sent home for reflection!"
"Yes. Everyone looked at Wang Mang with different faces, nodded one after another, and then pressed Qian Guangda and the others to leave directly.
The taking away of Qian Guangda and the others also became the last straw that overwhelmed the psychological defense line of the merchants, and at this time they were completely dumbfounded, and they all knelt on the ground one by one, shouting: "My lord, we have no intention of embarrassing adults, it is the four major families who harm us, my lord Mingjian!"
Looking at the merchants, Wang Mang and Lu Yuan looked at each other and smiled.
Syllable!
A mouthful of precious tea cup was slammed to the ground, and it was broken into a piece of slag at that time, Zhao Si stared at the attendant in front of him with a cold face, and flew the attendant fan directly with a slap in his hand, slapped the table, and said angrily: "Lu Yuan, Wang honestly deceived me too much!"
