Chapter 90: Abandoning the Car and Protecting the Shuai (II)
As the military lieutenant of Yuanfeng City, if Lu Zihong has anything important to report to the city lord Yang Weicheng, he can directly ask the family of the Yang Mansion to report it and enter. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But today, Lu Zihong just wanted to beat the drum of the city lord's mansion, in order to make this matter bigger and make today's matter a "public matter", rather than a "private matter" between himself and Dong Yuanchang.
Moreover, the Great Qin Law says that after the drum is beaten, the person who beats the drum must give a clear result, and cannot be sloppy. This is also considered by Lu Zihong in order to prevent Yang Weicheng from deliberately favoring Dong Yuanchang.
"Brother Ye, it's so strange! Master Lu is obviously a military lieutenant, seeing the city lord, why do you want to beat the drum of conversation like us civilians?"
For Lu Zihong's strange behavior, Lin Shan's stupid brain couldn't figure out the key, so he asked Lin Ye in a low voice.
"Hehe! Shanzi, it seems that our Lord Wuwei is not a fuel-efficient lamp. ”
Lin Shan couldn't see through Lu Zihong's intentions, but Lin Ye could see it clearly, so he gently patted the back of Lin Shan's hand and reminded in a low voice, "Shanzi, don't talk nonsense after you go in for a while, and agree with what I said." ”
"Well, Brother Ye, I listen to you. Lin Shan nodded in response.
And Yang Zhong, the chief housekeeper of the Yang Mansion, listened to Lu Zihong's words, but smiled and said: "Lord Lu, you and Lord Dong are worthy of the two military lieutenants on the left and right of our Yuanfeng City, how can you have such a tacit understanding to come to the City Lord's Mansion together today, and when Dong Daren came just now, he also directly beat the drum of words. ”
As soon as he heard Yang Zhong say that Dong Yuanchang was also here, and he also beat the talking drum to enter, Lu Zihong was shocked and hurriedly asked: "Why is Dong Yuanchang here too?"
"Just like Lord Lu, Lord Dong also said that this matter is very important and must be talked to our master in person, and then he went in to talk to the master. Just as I was about to say something, Lord Lu, the drum sounded, and the master sent me out to take a look. Yang Zhong said.
"This Dong Yuanchang, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd? At this time, does he still dare to throw himself into the net? Hmph! Even if he takes the initiative to admit the crime, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime will not escape!"
Lu Zihong frowned, he vaguely felt that it was not a good thing for Dong Yuanchang to come to the City Lord's Mansion before him, but now that he felt that he had the chance to win, he confidently took Lin Ye to the mansion and said, "Patriarch Lin, in front of the City Lord for a while, I think, you should know what to say, right?"
"Lu Wuwei is right, don't worry, I want to bring down Dong Yuanchang more than you. Moreover, do you think I will speak for Dong Yuanchang in the court?"
Lin Ye's answer made Lu Zihong very satisfied, and the group, under the leadership of the chief butler Yang Zhong, walked briskly towards the public hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
Soon, when he arrived at the public court of the Yang Mansion, Lu Zihong took Lin Ye and Lin Shan in a menacing manner, and as soon as he entered the door and saw Dong Yuanchang and his chief butler Dong Kong on the side, he immediately surrendered his hand to the city lord Yang Weicheng and said: "Lord of the city, the lower official has a complaint to sue!"
"Oh, Captain Lu, you are also a dignified military lieutenant, and you also have the right to decide right and wrong cases, what else is there in this Yuanfeng City, and you need to sue the city lord here?"
Yang Weicheng, the city lord who was talking to Dong Yuanchang just now, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth and asked Lu Zihong.
"Lord of the city, the official is not going to sue anyone else, but Dong Yuanchang, another military lieutenant in the city. ”
Suddenly, Lu Zihong pointed his finger at Dong Yuanchang, and said righteously, "The lower official wants to sue Dong Yuanchang for instructing his subordinate Dong Kong to use thunderstorm pills to cause a tide of beasts in the Black Mist Forest, causing thousands of my people to be killed and thousands of soldiers to be killed and injured. ”
Sure enough, as Lu Zihong expected, as soon as he sued Dong Yuanchang, Dong Yuanchang hurriedly cleared up the relationship and said to him angrily: "Lu Zihong, don't spew blood." I also injured my arm in this beast tide, what good is it for me to cause a beast tide? You have been with me for a long time, and you don't need to be so guilty if you want to bring me down!"
"Dong Yuanchang, I already knew that you would quibble, look at who these two people are? Lin Ye and Lin Shan have witnessed the Black Mist Forest Beast Tide caused by the Thunderstorm Pill by the Great Butler in your mansion, and with the two of them testifying, do you still want to rely on it?"
As he spoke, Lu Zihong glanced at Lin Ye and reminded Lin Ye to testify.
"Oh, tell me what it was?"
City Lord Yang Weicheng didn't say anything right away, but looked at Lin Ye with interest and asked.
As soon as Lin Ye saw the situation of the city lord Yang Weicheng, and Dong Yuanchang seemed to have no fear, he knew that something must have happened suddenly. However, he had promised Lu Zihong to come forward to testify, and this is also the truth, for the sake of the thousands of people who were killed, he should also come forward to testify against Dong Yuanchang.
So, Lin Ye still said according to the testimony he had thought of before: "Lord Cheng Cheng, that day, my clan brother Lin Shan and I entered the edge of the Black Mist Forest to lure the demon beasts, and the clan uncle and other male warriors in the clan were waiting outside the Black Mist Forest, and with them was Dong Kong, the chief butler in Old Master Dong's mansion. However, at this time, we heard Dong Kong trigger a thunderstorm pill to explode, which triggered this beast tide......"
"Lord City Lord, have you heard it! The evidence is ironclad, and I also sent someone to the edge of the Black Mist Forest that Lin Ye said to check, and there are indeed traces of the thunderstorm pill exploding. I think that in this Yuanfeng City, the only one who can get the thunderstorm pill is the military lieutenant ......"
As he spoke, Lu Zihong turned around and pointed to Dong Kong beside Dong Yuanchang with high spirits, and asked sharply, "Dong Kong, you still don't admit guilt? This thunderstorm pill was detonated by you, right?"
"Yes, yes...... The old slave pleaded guilty! Pleaded guilty...... This thing, of...... It was indeed made by the old slave......"
To Lu Zihong's surprise, Dong Kong pleaded guilty as soon as he was identified, without the slightest quibble, and Dong Yuanchang, who looked at Dong Kong's side, seemed to be indifferent, looking like he didn't care about himself, and didn't intend to distinguish at all.
At this time, Lu Zihong realized that something was wrong, and thought that Dong Yuanchang had brought Dong Kong to the City Lord's Mansion earlier than him today, so he immediately turned to face the City Lord Yang Weicheng, and asked suspiciously: "City Lord, ...... are you?" You don't know about it a long time ago, do you?"
"Hmph! It's really Captain Lao Lu who is worried about this matter, and this time the beast tide is indeed Dong Kong's doing. He stole the Thunderstorm Pill in my mansion and wanted to secretly murder Lin Ye and save face in my Dong Mansion. I also found out when I checked the number of thunderstorm pills in the house this morning and found that it was wrong, so I tortured it. ”
Dong Yuanchang arched his hand towards the city lord Yang Weicheng, but his face was looking at Lu Zihong, with a triumphant look, and said, "I found out that Dong Kong had done such an angry thing, and I didn't dare to make a private claim, so I immediately pressed Dong Kong to the city lord's mansion and asked the city lord to decide!"
