"Lord Lu, it was Liu Ru who coerced me with the lives of my brothers in the whole village, and I promised to give him priceless treasures in exchange, so that he was willing to keep everyone in my Changsheng Hall safe, please check clearly."

The owner of Changsheng Hall said this, and it was exactly what Lu Xuan expected.

Liu Ruchang desperately retorted: "You are talking nonsense! You're spewing blood, and this official has never had anything to do with you, a bandit! ”

Compared with the bandits, at this moment, Liu Ruchang's face of turning his face and not recognizing people is really not as good as Changshengtang.

Lu Xuan was upset by his quarrel for a while, and then raised his eyes to look at Lin Wei: "Trouble Lin Guard, let him be quiet." ”

Hearing this, Lin Wei immediately walked towards Liu Ruchang, and without saying a word, he took out the saber on his waist and pressed it against Liu Ruchang's neck, he was instantly silent and cautious, as if he would be cut by a sharp blade as long as his throat moved slightly.

Only then did Lu Xuan ask the master of Changsheng Hall: "Your so-called priceless treasure is the result of robbing merchant ships?" ”

The owner of Changsheng Hall hesitated again and again, although he didn't want to admit it, he could only nod helplessly.

"How long has it been, do you remember how many merchant ships you robbed?" Lu Xuan was already a little exhausted when he said this.

A mere mountain bandit is a priceless treasure, which really makes Lu Xuan embarrassed.

After hesitating for a moment, the owner of Changshengtang said: "I made a living from this three years ago, and the brothers in the village all joined one after another, and they didn't know about my dealings with the government. ”

Lu Xuan believed this, so she didn't ask any more.

It's just that Changshengtang has not been punished by the government for robbing merchant ships here for three years, and this Liu Ruchang's heart is really filthy.

Xu saw what Lu Xuan was thinking about at the moment, and the owner of Changsheng Hall immediately continued: "Originally, we just had the courage to rob one or two merchant ships, and we could save enough food and clothing, but Liu Zhizhou ......."

"Shut up!" Liu Ruchang couldn't help but scold again when he heard this, and Lin Wei immediately impatiently pushed the blade deep into his side neck, and he relented again.

In this way, if it weren't for Liu Ru's usual help, maybe the people of Changshengtang would not dare to act so boldly, and there would not be so many businessmen in Yongzhou who were worried all day long.

After thinking about it like this for a while, Lu Xuan looked at the owner of Changsheng Hall again: "Go on." ”

He continued: "Two years ago, our operation was captured by the government, and Liu Zhizhou let us go on the condition of a large amount of money, and later he asked for a piece of the pie obtained from our hijacking. ”

"Two years?" Lu Xuan was surprised, and turned to look at Liu Ruchang: "So in the past two years, you have accepted the ill-gotten gains of Changshengtang on the one hand, and on the other hand, you have received benefits from businessmen, pretending to help them capture the so-called real murderer?" ”

Lu Xuan was angry, and the owner of Changsheng Hall said: "Not only that, but he also secretly collected protection money from the big merchants, claiming that he could ensure the safety of their merchant ships, but in fact, he was secretly ordering us not to attack which merchant ships. ”

colluding with bandits, accepting ill-gotten gains, coupled with this crime of deceiving the people, Lu Xuan couldn't wait to execute Liu Ruchang, a faint official.

But the country has national laws, and no one can abuse lynching and arbitrarily decide the life and death of others, so thinking about it, Lu Xuan had to try to calm himself down.

"Liu is as usual, there are all kinds of talents, can you confess?" Lu Xuan asked in a deep voice.

Liu Ruchang couldn't help but sneer: "Confession? What do you admit or don't recognize, the fierce king is cruel by nature, he ordered to investigate, how can I be allowed to resist? If you want to kill, kill it. ”

When he was dying, he dared to speak disrespectfully to Gu Huanli, this Liu Ru was really bold.

Lin Wei stood aside, just hearing the sentence insulting His Royal Highness, he couldn't wait to stab him, and Liu Ru was as usual.

Fortunately, Lu Xuan calmly stopped: "Guard Lin, it's not worth it to dirty your weapon for this kind of person, lock him up and wait for His Highness to make a decision tomorrow." ”

Before leaving, Gu Huanli had explained that he would obey Lu Xuan's orders, so at this moment, even though Lin Wei was so angry in his heart, he had no choice but to obey Lu Xuan's order.

"Lord Lu, what about those people in Changshengtang?" Lin Wei asked Lu Xuan casually, and the owner of Changsheng Hall also looked at her expectantly when he heard this.

Although Lu Xuan is not a gentleman, she has always kept her promises, and since she has promised others, there is no reason to cross the river and tear down the bridge anyway.

"Let's take it down for the time being, when I see His Highness tomorrow, I will explain the situation to him and ask for forgiveness for Changshengtang." Lu Xuan said so, and the owner of Changshengtang suddenly felt grateful.

"Thank you Lord Lu, thank you Lord Lu......" The master of Changsheng Hall was taken down by the secret guard, and until the last moment he disappeared from Lu Xuan's sight, his mouth was full of thanks to her.

After taking care of everything, Lin Wei came over to Lu Xuan: "Lord Lu, it's late at night, let's send Lord Lu back to the post house to rest." ”

Lu Xuan nodded, and after tossing all night, he was finally able to go back and take a nap.

The next day, Gu Huanli took Lin Wei and others to the Yongzhou Mansion early in the morning, and at that time, Lin Wei had already reported to him all the results of last night's examination.

"Did Lu Xuan say that how she planned to deal with this matter?" Gu Huanli asked.

Lin Wei replied truthfully: "Back to Your Highness, Lord Lu mentioned last night that Liu Zhizhou was at the disposal of His Highness, but she seemed to have the intention of interceding on behalf of the people in Changshengtang. ”

"Intercession?" Gu Huanli was puzzled, how could Lu Xuan intercede for a gang of bandits in a dignified manner, and Lin Wei explained everything in detail.

At that time, Lu Xuan was still asleep, and she was suddenly awakened by something, so she suddenly sat up, and saw that it was already three poles outside, and she quickly got up and dressed.

"It's over, it's oversleep again." Lu Xuan muttered while taking care of himself.

After a while, when Lu Xuan packed up and walked to the Yongzhou Mansion, Liu was already shackled and escorted to the prisoner car.

"This is ......" Lu Xuan was surprised, and then looked at Lin Wei who walked over from the side.

Lin Wei immediately explained to her: "It's His Highness's intention, this person has done a lot of evil, His Highness plans to parade him through the streets, and then behead him in front of the people of Yongzhou." ”

"What about those people in Changshengtang?" Lu Xuan couldn't help but care about what he promised.

Lin Wei responded to his Royal Highness's free arrangement.

After a pause, Lin Wei added to Lu Xuan: "By the way, Lord Lu should go and change into his official uniform." ”

"What are you doing when you change your uniform?" Lu Xuan woke up early in the morning and was confused by this series of sudden events.

Lin Wei smiled and said, "Your Highness ordered Lord Lu to be beheaded, and he will also accompany him." ”

Although Lu Xuan didn't understand why Gu Huanli had done all the good deeds, he handed over all the things that were in the limelight and received credits to her, but since she was ready to fly, she had no other choice but to comply.

Only then did Lu Xuan rush in and change into his clothes, and then he went to the execution ground with Lin Wei.

At that time, I heard that all the merchant ships that had been stolen in recent years were due to the prefect's indulgence of bandits, and the people gathered on the side of the road one by one, and scolded the prisoner cars passing by one -

"Look, it's that dog officer, in the past two years, he has colluded with bandits to rob other people's merchant ships, so that no one dares to enter and leave us here at will for two years." An uncle gritted his teeth.

Immediately afterwards, the eldest sister next to her was even more annoyed: "If they hadn't robbed merchant ships, how could my son's illness not be treated with medicine?" I must see this dog official's head fall to the ground with my own eyes today! ”

"Folks, stoning this dog officer to death for me!" An angry roar came from nowhere, and a wave of attacks suddenly flew towards the prisoner cart on both sides of the road, but in the blink of an eye, Liu Ruchang, who was originally quite clean, already looked embarrassed.

Lu Xuan was already sitting in the execution ground, and she didn't know who released the news, and the people standing in front of her at that time seemed to praise her.

Lu Xuan was surprised in his heart: Are they all praising me? But these things are clearly done by His Royal Highness.

But the people watching the execution at the execution ground recognized that this matter was all due to Lu Xuan, and some even knelt down to her and thanked her, which made her uncomfortable.

After a while, the prisoner car escorting Liu Ruusual arrived at the execution ground with difficulty, just looking at his rotten cabbage and rotten eggs, Lu Xuan could also feel how much resentment the people had against him.

"Crush the prisoner to the execution table!" The official on the side shouted loudly, and Liu Ruchang was immediately released from the prisoner car and escorted to the execution platform, and he looked at the people in front of him, and his face suddenly flashed with ecstasy.

"Liu as usual, Liu as usual, I didn't expect you to be greedy all your life, and the people who love you will come to see you off in person, complete, complete!" Liu often said to himself, but in fact, he was deceiving himself.

Seeing this, Lin Wei immediately stepped forward and kicked heavily behind Liu Ruchang's knees: "Kneel!" ”

Liu Ruchang instantly knelt down in front of the people, and only then did he see the disgusted faces on the other side.

"My lord, Your Highness has ordered, and the execution will be carried out immediately." Lin Wei turned back to Lu Xuan and reminded.

Lu Xuan couldn't bear it anymore and Liu Ru died until he was still deceiving himself, so he immediately threw out the card.

The slashing card landed on the ground, making a crisp and neat sound, followed by the high and robust voice of the prison officer: "Execution!" ”

I saw Liu fall to his knees as usual, his face as calm as water, and he had long since lost the panic or excitement of last night's interrogation, so he let the burly executioner on the side spray a mouthful of liquor on the extremely sharp knife surface.

Immediately afterwards, the knife fell in his hand, a set of coherent and skillful movements, as the blood sprayed everywhere, Liu Ru was already in a different place.

Although Lu Xuan was the first time to be a prison officer, such a scene was not unfamiliar to her, looking at the bloody scene in front of her, although the person who died was a heinous person, she really did not have any happiness in her heart.

"Let's go." Lu Xuan got up, said weakly, and then turned around and left, not even caring to accept the gratitude from the people of Yongzhou.

After dealing with Liu Ru's usual affairs, it will be the turn of those people in Changsheng Hall at this time, thinking of the hall master's righteous words last night, Lu Xuan really can't bear to end up like Liu Ruchang.

Therefore, as soon as she came back from the execution ground, she went straight to Gu Huanli's side.
