Chapter 753: Rise for the People
Lin Ruan knew this dog official, and this person was the prefect of Xuanhe Mansion, Wang Yuwen.
Last time, she handed over the food to this person with her own hands.
And now he keeps saying that she is from an unknown source, which is kind of interesting. Do you want to charge her with some kind of crime, and then kill her to cover up his crime of embezzling disaster relief food?
What a daring thing!
The soldiers brought by Lin Ruan were already furious, and when they saw that they dared to talk nonsense with their eyes open and wanted to arrest people, they immediately pulled out their weapons and fought with those officers and soldiers of the Yamen.
The people were frightened, screaming and looking for a place to hide.
Lin Ruan sneered and said to Luo Hua: "Arrest the dog official surnamed Wang for me, and the county lord will personally interrogate him today!" ”
Luohua took the next step and flew towards the sedan chair.
As soon as the officials around the prefect saw this battle, they immediately pointed their weapons at Luohua. But in Luohua's eyes, these things were like children playing at home, only to see him pull out a soft sword from his body and slash it, and those servants who could only fish and flesh the people all fell to the ground.
When the prefect saw that the situation was wrong, he was so frightened that he hurriedly drilled into the sedan chair.
Luohua split in the air, and the sedan chair was split in half in response.
Governor Wang was so frightened that he sat on the ground, trembling all over.
Luohua grabbed him by the collar, lifted him hard, and flew to the high platform with him, falling hard.
Wang Zhifu fell hard at Lin Ruan's feet, very embarrassed.
Just as he was about to get up, Lin Ruan stepped on his palm and crushed it hard. The prefect of the king found a scream: "My hand is ......"
Lin Ruan let go of his foot, grabbed the hair of the prefect Wang, and asked with a sneer, "Do you see who I am?" Recognized? ”
Governor Wang knew that he was afraid at this time, and desperately begged for mercy: "The county lord spares his life, just now the old man of the lower official was dizzy, and he didn't recognize you." The county lord spares his life. ”
Lin Ruan Pi said with a smile: "Recognize it?" It's easy to say if you recognize it, let's talk about it first, what did you use it for the food I sent last time? ”
The prefect of Wang quibbled: "County lord, the grain you sent has been distributed to the people by the lower officials, but they are too greedy, and after getting the grain, they eat and drink it wantonly, and it doesn't take long for the grain to be wasted." It was the grain that the county lord had finally found, and the lower officials' hearts were dripping blood. These Diao people were still not satisfied after eating, and they wanted to go to Huaiyang Mansion to find the main grain of the county, and the lower officials didn't want to make the county lord feel cold, so they ordered the magistrates in various places to strictly control them and not let them leave their place of residence. ”
Lin Ruan sneered: "According to this, you are still thinking about the county lord?" ”
After hearing this, the people below shouted angrily: "County lord, don't believe him, he is deceiving people, he sold all those grains at a high price to a few big grain merchants in the city." Grain merchants take grain and sell it at a high price, how can we ordinary people afford to buy a hundred pounds of grain? We all let this dog official force him to be like this! ”
Governor Wang hurriedly said: "County lord, these Diao people have a grudge against the lower officials because they blocked their way. Don't listen to their nonsense. ”
Lin Ruan sneered: "Who is talking nonsense, the county lord will find out." But you just said that the county lord is an unknown person, and you want people to arrest me, which makes me very unhappy. I've always been cautious, whoever makes me unhappy, then I have to take revenge. In this way, the county lord will give you a chance to say for yourself how to make the county lord happy. ”
The prefect of Wang was a little confused.
At this moment, several other officials who appeared with the prefect of the king were also caught and "invited" to the high platform.
Lin Ruan saw that the prefect of Wang had not spoken, so he showed a malicious smile, "I have a problem, I like to watch people cut off their heads." When I see someone beheaded, I am happy, and no matter how unhappy I am, I can resolve it. Why don't you pick two of these people out and make me happy? ”
As soon as the officials heard this, they were immediately frightened, and they knelt down as soon as their legs were weak, "The county lord spares my life, we were called by the prefect Wang, and I didn't know that you were here, please be kind to the county lord and spare us." ”
Lin Ruan looked bored, "Since a few of them don't want to make the county lord happy, let's change the prefect's mansion." ”
Wang Zhifu was afraid of death, and shook his head desperately: "County lord, the lower officials will help you choose a candidate." ”
Then he casually pointed at the few people: "Just them, they don't do much on weekdays, and dying can make the county lord happy and happy, and it can be regarded as their creation." ”
The two people who were pointed out were so frightened that they shouted desperately: "The county lord spares his life, the county lord spares his life!" ”
Lin Ruan grabbed the prefect of Wang with one hand, and flicked his fingers very leisurely with the other, "Spare you?" That's not going to work, I'm very unhappy right now, because I know that Lord Wang is tricking me. I don't like people to lie to me the most. But Lord Wang refuses to tell the truth, so I can only kill you to vent my anger and make myself happy. ”
These two people were not stupid, and immediately said loudly: "County Lord, we confess, we confess!" The grain was sold by the prefect to the grain merchants in the city. The people had no food to eat and wanted to go out to escape the famine, but the prefect was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he asked people to block the city gate and drive all the people in the countryside to the city. In the past two months, many people have starved to death, and some people have been forced to eat. ”
Lin Ruan turned his head and looked at the prefect of Wang with a smile on his face, but the smile was piercing with a chill.
"Lord Wang, are the two of them telling the truth?"
Naturally, the prefect of the king refused to admit it: "They are talking nonsense! This official has definitely not done such a thing! They just have a grudge against the lower officials, so they deliberately slander the lower officials. The county lord must not be deceived by them. ”
Lin Ruan sighed and turned his head to look at the other officials, "Then a few of you can also tell me, what is going on?" If you say it well, the county lord can still ask you for a frank and lenient treatment from the emperor, and maybe he can save you a dog's life. ”
Those officials also understood that in fact, Lin Ruan already knew what was going on, and now they just wanted them to admit it in person.
But if they admit it, they won't survive.
If you are greedy for disaster relief food, you will kill your head at least. If you don't admit it, maybe you can turn the corner.
Seeing that a few of them hesitated, Governor Wang's heart was steady, and he said loudly, "County Lord, the lower officials don't know where you got those false news. Xiaguan dared to pat his chest and said, those grains were distributed to the people according to your requirements, and Xiaguan dared to swear to the sky......"
Before he finished speaking, suddenly an unknown object fell from the sky and smashed into the mouth of the prefect Wang.
Lin Ruan sighed: "Don't swear if it's okay, you see, you say those words, the birds can't listen to them." ”
The people in the audience burst into laughter.
