Chapter 482: Cracking the Conspiracy
Chen Mu's expression was calm, and the county lord's eyelids jumped.
He has already talked about this, how can this person not be afraid?
"That'...... That force is naturally the Lord of the capital! ”
"Who are you? What are you holding us for? Could it be that you want to stand up for the people of this city! Oh, I'd advise you to be better off meddling? ”
The fat-headed and big-eared county magistrate said with the corners of his mouth pulled.
The greasy face was full of hideous color.
Chen Mu pursed his lips when he saw him like this.
"Who am I? Now that you've asked this, I don't plan to continue to hide my identity, and I've already arrested you. ”
Chen Mu glanced at Lord Ye on the side.
Seeing this, Lord Ye nodded, and took out the crown prince's jade pendant held by Chen Mu from his arms.
This jade pendant is an important token of the prince, see the jade pendant, such as seeing the prince.
Although those county officials didn't recognize Chen Mu, they recognized the jade pendant, their eyes swept over the jade pendant, first pursed their lips disdainfully, and then a spirit suddenly came back to their senses.
They raised their heads sharply, looked in the direction of Chen Mu, and took a closer look at the jade pendant.
After a long while, someone reluctantly said with the corners of his mouth pulled.
"No...... It's impossible, isn't that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the capital? How could it be that our city could have come? ”
"Even if we come, it's impossible for us not to know, you...... You must have forged this jade pendant! How daring...... Courage! Dare to forge the jade pendant of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"
Chen Mu saw that some people didn't believe it, so he chuckled lightly and took out a few books from his arms.
Those documents were sent to the capital by the Ministry of Agriculture, and when Chen Mu took these documents, he didn't think of using them as evidence to prove his identity.
He only thought about it, and when he arrived in this city, he would discuss the farming of these cities with the Ministry of Agriculture.
He didn't expect it......
He threw the paperwork in front of a few people, who looked down.
Naturally, this document was not written by those few agricultural lords, but they found a scholar who imitated the handwriting to write it on their behalf.
No one is more familiar with this instrument than they are.
This document was sent to the capital and sent to the table of His Royal Highness the Prince.
Now that this document was in the hands of the young people, they immediately understood what was going on.
"You...... You really are the prince! No...... No way! How is this possible? If it was really the crown prince, wouldn't everything we had done before be ......?"
There was a person whose eyes jumped sharply, and he suddenly looked up in the direction of Chen Mu, he was trembling with fright, he was extremely arrogant just now, but now he was like a quail in the water.
Chen Mu saw that cold sweat was rolling down the man's forehead, and the hem of his clothes was even more soaked with wet marks, Chen Mu frowned with some disgust.
He waved his hand at Lord Ye, who stepped forward and dragged a few people to the wall a little farther away.
Chen Mu asked them from afar.
"The people who exploit the people, and the people in the cities who harm them are hungry and have no strength to go out, don't you want to leave a way for these people to live?"
"In addition, I heard that there are people who have conscripted people to repair their ancestral graves."
"Heh, I haven't had time to repair the ancestral tomb for our royal people, but you should take the lead in doing what we royal people should do?"
The official who recruited the people to repair the ancestral tomb shuddered, a smile appeared on his face, and he said tremblingly.
"Too ...... His Royal Highness the Prince, the ancestral grave ...... That's not about repairing the ancestral tomb at all, we want to build a mansion ......"
The guards sent by Chen Mu to investigate the situation have all brought back the evidence, and this person is still strong, Chen Mu sneered.
"Your house was built underground? The ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense is first-class. ”
"I've heard someone say that there is still a force behind you, let's talk about it, which family in Beijing is the force behind you?"
When Chen Mu mentioned this matter, several adults looked at each other, and they all lowered their heads, like quails with sawed beaks, and did not make a sound.
Seeing this, Chen Mu glanced at Lord Ye.
Lord Ye took out the sword at his waist, walked to the side of several county officials, and stood still in front of the county officials who mentioned the strength behind him, Lord Ye picked up the long sword and smashed it heavily on the adult's body.
The county magistrate screamed and fell to the ground.
He was in pain, and immediately wept bitterly and pleaded.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there is no ...... There is no force! We said that just to trick you, to threaten you to let us go! ”
Chen Mucai didn't believe his nonsense, and beat the person, and the adult didn't want to recruit him.
Chen Mu motioned to his subordinates and asked them to go to the adult's mansion to search, if there was really a force behind it, there would definitely be evidence left in the mansion.
Seeing this, his subordinates nodded and jumped out of the inn.
The eyelids of those adults jumped, and they also understood Chen Mu's plan.
But even so, with a fluke mentality, they still didn't recruit the forces behind them.
A moment later, the guards sent by Chen Mu came back with a pile of letters in their hands.
When the county officials saw this, their faces immediately turned white.
Chen Mu sneered, took the letter, opened it and looked at it, and then nodded clearly,
"It turned out to be Lord Xiao from the capital, let me say, if there are no people from the capital to help you cover behind your back, you will not have the courage to arrest the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture."
"Now that the evidence is ironclad, if you want to refute it, you can only end up with one way to go, that is, to be dragged to the vegetable market and killed."
Chen Mu threw the letter in front of the adults, and a crisp sound sounded in the ears of several county officials.
They shuddered violently and looked at each other.
They know that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is not half false.
There was silence for a moment, and finally an adult said tremblingly.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you ...... If there's anything else you'd like to ask, I'll be sure to recruit them all! In addition to this Lord Xiao, there are other families in the capital who conspire with us. ”
"Those people from the family said that they would help us occupy these cities, and when we had enough surplus food and silver in our hands, they would help us to rebel."
Chen Mu's fingers holding the tea cup tightened suddenly.
Raising an army to rebel is really a grand wish.
He looked in the direction of the county officials with heavy eyes,
Those county officials were busy telling the officials in the capital who were conspiring with them, and Lord Ye, a herdsman Chen, wrote down the names of those officials.
At the same time, he was secretly happy in his heart.
Fortunately, fortunately, these officials did not make much noise when they were arrested, otherwise if the matter of this city spread to the capital.
Those people are afraid that they are going to do something else.
Now those people haven't noticed that something is wrong, and they let the henchmen in the capital do something to those people in the family, and if they are caught off guard, they can also end the matter as soon as possible.
After sorting out the evidence, Chen Mu remembered one more thing.
"Where did General Zhang get caught by you?"
"I sent people to search the dungeons of several cities, but I didn't find General Zhang, but I saw those officials of the Ministry of Agriculture."
