Chapter 393: Temptation
Yang Bantou yelled: "Shut up the fuck Lao Tzu!" Is it not the other way around? If you have a grievance, go to the yamen to hand over the complaint, don't quarrel here, and don't fight in a group, if you fight in a group, someone from the county will arrest you and take you to prison! ”
Seeing that Yang Bantou was angry, Village Chief He hurriedly scolded the villagers: "Don't quarrel, what is the noise, looking for death?" The poor master is here to handle the case of Lu Zhudan's family, you have nothing to do and hurry home. ”
Old Man Lu and Lu Laosan have seen the cowardice, and they have laughed at it, hurry back, if you make too much trouble, it will anger Yang Bantou.
The He family hurriedly shut up, but instead of going home immediately, they held torches and sent Yang Bantou and them out of the village.
It's to send Yang Bantou, in fact, they have been suppressed for too long, and they haven't seen enough of Old Man Lu's miserable appearance, and they want to see more.
The movement in Dafeng Village was not noisy, and the neighboring Lianghe Village heard the movement, and the village chief of Lianghe Village rushed to the entrance of the village with several descendants of the village.
After seeing Yang Bantou escorting the old man Lu's family, he was taken aback, something happened, something happened, and the Lu family was afraid that it would be over.
Yang Bantou deliberately rectified Old Man Lu, let the official drag him to the town quickly, and waited for Old Man Lu to fall to the ground from exhaustion, and then let Old Man Lu be lifted onto the mule cart and run towards the county office.
More than an hour later, when it was bright, Old Man Lu and Old Man Lu were finally escorted to the county office.
Also arrested were Lu Laoda and Lu Laoer, who lived in the county seat, as well as Lu Guihua and Lu Hehua, who were married in other towns.
All four families were arrested along with their children.
The four brothers and sisters were already stunned, they didn't know what was going on, and they couldn't ask the officials, so they could only be in a hurry.
The children in the family had never seen such a battle, and now they were arrested and brought to the county office, and they were pressed and kneeled in the hall by the officials, and they were all so frightened that they cried.
After seeing Old Man Lu, everyone asked, "Dad, what's going on?" Why did the officials come to our house and arrest us? ”
Lu Hehua even stiffened her neck and asked, "Dad, what happened to our family?" This crime is not as good as marrying a daughter, the daughters are married, and the sons are going to marry the daughter-in-law, why do you have to arrest the daughter if something happens to the mother's family? ”
Lu Hehua was very angry, she was dissatisfied with Old Man Lu, felt that he was partial, and found a family for the eldest sister and an official for the third sister, and only found a village chief's house for herself.
The burlap ball in Old Man Lu's mouth had been removed, and when he heard Lu Hehua's words, he glared at her fiercely: "Unfilial girl!" ”
After speaking, he immediately knelt down and cried towards the throne of the empty Rao Hall: "Master Qingda, people are wronged." What kind of royal law did Ran Di commit? Do you want to arrest the whole family in the middle of the night? ”
"People know that they have some bullying behavior in the township, but which family has relatives as officials and does not use power to bully? People just make the same mistakes as everyone else...... People know that they are wrong, and they will change their ...... But Master Qing has to make people understand that he can't just arrest people without nothing...... People are not convinced, people are wronged, woo woo woo ......"
Old man Lu sang very well, and after crying and shouting in the hall that he was wronged, he fell to the ground and cried bitterly, and the cry was really as wronged as he was, and those who didn't know thought he was really wronged.
Gu Jinan followed Xu County Order, Master Tian and his party, hid behind the screen and listened, hearing Old Man Lu's cry, his brows furrowed deeply, and he said to the county order: "My lord, looking at Old Man Lu's appearance, he will definitely not tell the truth, let's go out to ascend to the hall at this moment, he will definitely bite to death and deny it." ”
"The matter has been so far, Zou Xiancheng should have received the news, for Zou Yuzhen, he will definitely come soon, our previous one, first ascended to the court, interrogated Old Man Lu once, and then threw him into the water to test whether he would swim in the water, we have to change it. Otherwise, before the adults could ask anything, Zou Xiancheng would have arrived. ”
Xu Xian Ling listened to it and asked Gu Jin'an: "The Gu family is born, what is your good plan?" ”
Gu Jinan said: "Lord Hui, I think that we should change the order and test whether Old Man Lu can swim in the water first?" After the test comes out, he will be promoted to interrogate him, and when the time comes, he wants to deny that he can't swim in the water, and he won't school if he doesn't swim and escape."
Master Tian agreed: "My lord, Brother An'er is a good idea, it is much easier to test Old Man Lu without any defense." ”
If he was to be interrogated first, and then test whether Old Man Lu would swim in the water, then Old Man Lu would probably rather drown himself than save himself by not swimming in the water. ‘’
"My lord, you have to be surprised in order to win."
Xu Xianling was very moved, but: "If you don't go to the court, you will throw people into the water to test, in case something happens, this is a matter of carelessness." ”
Although Xu Xianling loves credit, he is a person who is afraid of responsibility in his bones, no matter what he does, it is for the sake of safety.
Master Tian said: "My lord, do you still remember what the prefect said when I went back last time?" ”
Lord Prefect, Xu County is too careful about doing things, you must know that if you want to be the chief official of one party, you can't be afraid of wolves and tigers when you do things. If you are so afraid, then the career will not be long, at most you can be a county official, and it is difficult to become a government official.
Thinking of the prefect's words, Xu Xianling gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Jiang, you immediately send someone to drag Old Man Lu to the pond in the backyard of the county government to see if he can swim?" ”
"The subordinate obeys." County Lieutenant Jiang immediately came out with two teams of county soldiers, pointed at the old man Lu and said, "Come on, drag Lu Xiangfu to the backyard." ”
The county soldiers were urgently recalled from the soldiers tonight, and two of them were Qin Erlang and Qin Sanlang.
Jiang Qi admires them very much, but he will bring them with him anything that can make meritorious contributions.
"Yes!" The county soldiers responded and went to pull the old man Lu.
"What do you do, what do you do? Let go of the old man, if you don't ascend to the court, you will be punished, you are abusing lynching! Old Man Lu was tied with his hands, it was difficult to get up and escape, so he could only use his two knees to the ground and retreat backwards with difficulty.
And when Lu Laoda, Lu Laoer, Lu Guihua, and Lu Hehua saw it, they only scolded the county soldiers, and no one dared to come up to help, for fear of being punished for obstructing the military master's errand.
"Stop!" An angry shout sounded, Zou Xiancheng was supported by Zou Jiang, and rushed to the county office with Master Shao and Master Cao, and saw that the county soldiers were about to arrest Old Man Lu to the backyard, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop, you will drag people away before you are promoted to the court, you, you are ......"
Zou Xiancheng has been sick recently, and he is panting for breath, and Qin Sanlang's actions are fast, and before Zou Xiancheng's words are finished, he will pick up Old Man Lu, stride a few meteors, and rush to the backyard of the county office.
