Lu Tingxiu came back to his senses at this time, looking quite uncomfortable, "What did you just say?" ”

Xu Mingliang is confused, adults have always been cautious in their words and deeds, and they have never flirted with Xia Fatpang in front of people, what's wrong with him today?

He repeated the matter again, and Lu Tingxiu frowned after hearing this, "Blatantly beating law enforcement officials is really a king's law, immediately arrest He Laosi, and dig three feet into the ground to find out." ”

"My lord, He Laosi has a surname Wu to support him, and many officials in the county government are ......" Xu Ming was so bright that he made his words clear in advance and asked him to think carefully about the consequences.

"The folk customs of Lin County are indeed fierce, but no matter how powerful the surname Wu is, he is just a local bully, if we don't even dare to move this person, how can the people support us, and where is the prestige of the government?" He has never been afraid of people in the capital, and no matter how horizontal the surname Wu is, can he turn the sky upside down?

Xu Mingliang was secretly happy, "My subordinates will do it immediately." He really didn't misunderstand the adult, this time he took action personally, and He Laosi was rampant again.

"No!" Before the Wang County Cheng arrived, he lifted the hem of his official uniform and hurriedly stepped in, "Lord Lu, don't arrest people casually." ”

"Whatever?" Lu Tingxiu only felt ridiculous, "He Laosi not only killed others, but also injured Yacha, is this casual?" ”

Wang Xiancheng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Lord Lu, He Laosi has done a lot of evil deeds, and he should be punished heavily, but ......"

If you want to talk and stop, it implies that idlers and other people avoid it.

Lu Tingxiu didn't speak, Xia Qiu and Xu Mingliang directly ignored him.

"But what?" He pretended not to understand

"He Laosi is Wu Ye's person." Wang Xiancheng reminded in a timely manner: "Wu Ye is not only the head of the business gentry, but also a big taxpayer in Lin County. ”

Lu Tingxiu's eyes grew cold, and he looked Wang Xiancheng up and down, and then smiled.

His laughter made people shudder, and Wang Xiancheng couldn't get over it.

"Lord Wang's speech is quite interesting." Lu Tingxiu's smile was still the same, but there was sarcasm in his words, "It seems that you are an official of Wu Ye, not an official of the imperial court." ”

Wang Xiancheng was stunned, "Lord Lu, why do you say this?" ”

"Isn't it?" Lu Tingxiu asked rhetorically: "You have the court's money, but you do things for Wu Ye, no wonder the common people are unwilling to pay taxes to the government, it turns out that you are helping to abuse." Our people went to take the murderer, but they were seriously injured by a group of old and weak women and children, and they did not dare to resist at all.

Why? Are they born to be cheap? No, it's because they don't dare to provoke Wu Ye, and they know that the government will shield and connive at those people. ”

Xu Mingliang was completely shocked. Usually, Lu Tingxiu was polite to Wang Xiancheng and Master Yang, and even a little complimentary, but he didn't expect to kill people directly this time.

was poked in the face, Wang Xiancheng was a little angry, and his tone hardened, "My lord, the lower officials are thinking about you, if you don't listen, then I can't control what happens." ”

"What can happen?" Lu Tingxiu said coldly, "Assassinate me again?" Or let me make room for him to sit? ”

Wang Xiancheng's face turned blue, he was choked speechless, and he could only leave with his sleeves brushed up. Anyway, the newcomer is bent on dying, so don't blame him for not stopping him.

The county Cheng was deflated, which strengthened Xu Mingming's determination.

When he was mobilizing for the arrest, he added fuel and vinegar to Lu Tingxiu's words, and said in an impassioned tone: "Brothers, what kind of days have we lived all these years? The people scolded us, the bullies bullied us, why?

We are officials of the imperial court, but we cannot get rid of evil, and we even help the abuse. Our bones are not hard enough, and our waist poles are not straight enough.

is just a gangster, his ladies dare to hurt you, he dares to chase Xu Liang's house, and smash Xu Liang's house and seriously injure people. We are all like this, and the people are living even more miserable, so it makes sense for them to resent us and hate us, and we really did something wrong.

Today, Lord Lu supports me, and I support you, let's be upright!

Now, I'm going to hunt for He Laosi, who will go with me? ”

"Master Xu, I'll go with you!" Zhou Bantou roared and stood up suddenly, "Lao Tzu has had enough of it a long time ago!" ”

"I'll go too!"

Follow closely, and a few catchers will quickly stand up with the officials.

Xu Mingliang picked more than a dozen, and immediately led the team to set off without further ado.

As soon as he arrived at the yamen, Wang Xiancheng walked over, full of official authority, "Xu Mingming, don't take yourself too seriously, do what you should do, and don't interfere with what you shouldn't care." "Hmph, he can't hold the big one, he can't hold the small one?

Xu Mingliang ignored his arrogance, and said coldly: "My lord, it is the duty of the subordinate officials to take the murderer, may I ask why I should not care?" In addition, the arrest was personally ordered by the magistrate, but you asked me to leave it alone, isn't this a clear indication that I didn't take Lord Lu seriously? ”

was ridiculed, Wang Xiancheng said angrily: "If the people don't raise officials and don't hold them accountable, who will be arrested?" "It's not that he wants to favor anyone, but he really provoked Wu Tongxing, and if he killed Lu Tingxiu, his black gauze hat would be unstable.

"I'm sorry, Lord Lu is older than you, I have to listen to him." With Lu Tingxiu's backbone, Xu Mingliang was no longer afraid of Wang Xiancheng, and waved his hand, "Brothers, go!" "The surname Wang, he will not endure it anymore.

A team of people passed in front of Wang Xiancheng and didn't even look back

Wang Xiancheng was so angry that he jumped to his feet, these grandsons floated as soon as their wings were hard, waiting!

Saying that Lu Tingxiu was not idle, he immediately summoned someone to visit Xu's house.

Xia Qiu followed cheekily, thinking about dangling more in front of his eyes and grinding him away, maybe he would forgive her for his evil deeds.

Xu Liang's house was smashed terribly, but all the objects that could be carried were smashed to pieces, and the courtyard was in a mess, and there was not even a place to stay.

Old man Xu sat on the steps of the courtyard, and the ravines on his face looked more and more haggard. It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, but the old man covered in patches quietly wiped his tears. He didn't dare to cry, for fear of making his wife even sadder.

Inside the house, Aunt Xu anxiously looked at her son who was unconscious on the bed. Old man Tu looked solemn and continued to apply needles to Xu Liang's head, while Jin Shi laid his hands on the side, and quickly put a plaster cast on Xu Liang's discounted arm.

Knowing that the county magistrate had come to visit, Old Man Xu spoke incoherently excitedly, and hurriedly welcomed everyone into the house.

Lu Tingxiu didn't say a word, his expression was tense and severe, and his body exuded irrepressible anger.

His hand subconsciously reached into the sleeve of his shirt, but it was empty.

Xia Qiu, who had been following him, quietly stuffed him with ingots of silver.

The silver was very heavy, there were twenty taels, and Lu Tingxiu handed it to Aunt Xu, "Deputy Xu was injured in the line of duty, and the yamen will not sit idly by, you can take this silver and add some furniture to subsidize the cost of soup and medicine." ”

"It's unacceptable." Aunt Xu is an honest person, she has never seen so much money in her life, and she panicked for a while.

"Take it, just tell the yamen if you have anything in the future."

Aunt Xu accepted it and thanked her again and again. Before this, she complained a lot, and she said it nicely, but in fact, it was thankless, bullied by evil forces, and the people looked down on her, and her son was stupid, and he was fooled into running to arrest He Laosi, and almost ended up with a broken family.

Now, the magistrate personally came to the door to offer condolences and sent twenty taels of medical expenses, and she felt that everything was worth it.

The fellow officials didn't make a sound, but their hearts kept tumbling. Lord Lu is really a good official, the yamen is poor and has no funds at all, everyone was injured in the past, but he didn't expect him to pay out of his own pocket, this is his three-month salary.

Xia Qiu poked his head out and asked in a low voice, "Master, how is his injury?" ”

Old man Tu said in a deep voice: "Intracranial hemorrhage, you may die at any time." ”

Aunt Xu was so frightened that she fell to the ground, and cried out with a "wow", "My son, my poor son......"
