Chapter 87: Evidence of people and materials
Lu Luoxi almost laughed angrily.
It's ridiculous that he has been in the deep palace for many years, and he has been spoiled by his mother and even his younger brother since he was a child.
I have never seen such an absurd trial and judgment, let alone the suffering of the people.
While feeling angry, there is also a burst of sadness.
In this extremely remote and disaster-ridden town, officials are bullying the people.
Exploiting the lives of the people for ill-gotten gains.
So, how many people are still struggling to survive in this huge Shangyuan country?
In other words, how many people are still alive and well like the victims of Pingye Town?
Lu Luoxi felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he didn't need to endure it anymore.
She patted her chest and took a deep breath.
Try to calm yourself down and shout:
"Qiu Lu! If you don't come out yet, take down this dog official?! ”
Qiu Lu flashed out in an instant, and walked to the court with an arrow.
When the officials have not yet reacted.
twisted the county magistrate's arm and slipped him under the court case.
The fat body of the county magistrate was dragged and staggered, and he staggered two steps before falling to the ground.
So, Qiu Lu dragged him to the center of the court.
Hands and feet at the same time, one by one and one kick.
The magistrate knelt upright, but his head was lowered to the ground.
"You guys! You don't want to die?
How dare you do this to me, let me go! Let me go! ”
Under the howl of the county magistrate, the officials on both sides of the court finally reacted.
was about to step forward to rescue him, but was frightened away by Qiu Lu's eyes.
"I tell you, it's better not to act rashly.
You should know what he's done over the years, right?
He eats meat, and you drink a lot of soup, right?
He is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river - he cannot protect himself.
I advise you to give an account as soon as possible and strive for leniency.
Otherwise, hmph, don't even think about running away! ”
Qiu Lu put his foot on the dog officer's back.
His eyes swept over the faces of each of the officials one by one, and he said viciously.
Lu Luoxi dusted off the non-existent dust on his body, and Shi Shiran walked towards the court case.
Zhengda sat brightly in the seat of the prefectural order.
"Smack!"
The startling wood slapped on the bookcase, making an earth-shattering sound.
The officials present and the county magistrate who was kneeling on the ground were all shocked, and finally began to be afraid.
Qiu Lu took advantage of the situation to pick up the head of the county order.
Let him look directly at the plaque on the public hall with the four big characters "Mirror hanging".
"Whoever is in the hall, report your name."
"I... I'm a prefectural order! What do you want? What can you do with me? ”
"Qiu Lu, fight."
"Yes!"
Qiu Lu looked at the county order's fat and weak body, and couldn't help but slap himself when he thought about it.
I had to take the water and fire stick in the hand of the officer, and when I collected the force, I immediately hit him on the back.
"Ahh
The county has been enjoying itself for many years, and there has never been a small scratch in ordinary times.
Where can I stand this stick, and the arrow will immediately break.
Nodding like pounded garlic: "I said, I said, I said..."
Lu Luoxi disdainful in his heart, dare to be a corrupt official, and think how powerful you are.
At least be hard-mouthed, hold on for two or three moments, and I still respect you as a man.
"Whoever is in the hall, report your name."
"I... I'm the prefectural commander of Hirano County, my name is Hara Masaaki, my lord, I was forced..."
"Needless to say, I'll ask and you answer. Don't say it's useless. ”
"Yes, yes."
"Do you know how many families there are in our county?"
"I..."
"Do you know how many families in our county have suffered because of the floods?"
"I..."
"Do you know how many displaced people there are in our county, how many disaster victims?"
"I..."
"Do you know how many people in our county are starving to death if they can't eat?"
"I..."
"Do you know how much money we have in the county?"
"I..."
"You don't know? What the hell do you know?
Oh, you know how many beautiful concubines and how many fine wines there are in your side yard! ”
Lu Luoxi's heart became more and more sad.
Thinking about the scars on Xiaoshu and the two little girls again, he suddenly glared at Yuan Zhengqing viciously.
"Your parents really gave you a good name.
I foresaw that you could be an official, but I didn't foresee that you could be such a good official!
You say I've killed someone, just arrest me, what do you do with the child! ”
"My lord, my lord, I was wrong, and I really don't blame me.
No one wants them to testify against you, I can't help it..."
"Heh, you're justified.
It seems that you have done a lot of things like corruption and disregard for people's lives.
Okay, let's settle accounts after the fall, and let's make today's matter clear first.
Say, "Who commanded you to blame me?" ”
"It's... It was I myself who knew that the Seven Princes were here for disaster relief.
I'm afraid he'll find out about my problem..."
"Fart! If you blame me, won't the Seventh Prince find out about you?
Are you as stupid as you are when you are the Seventh Prince?
Still not telling the truth? Qiu Lu, keep calling me! ”
The stick in Qiu Lu's hand was immediately raised, and he was about to be beaten.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, my lord.
To tell you the truth, I do have a superior, and he asked me to embezzle disaster relief funds.
I have to do it, my lord, I, my son is in their hands, woooooooooooo
"Then why did you kill Mr. Jiang? And why do you blame me? ”
"Killing Mr. Jiang is also an arrangement from above, and the boss thinks he is disobedient, so let me change to an obedient one.
It is still very taboo for outsiders in the village. So I thought that if I blame you, it would kill two birds with one stone.
On the one hand, he dealt with Mr. Jiang, and on the other hand, he could also kill the military advisers of the Seven Princes to deter the Seven Princes.
Who knows..."
"Who knew I wasn't that easy to handle, was I?
I didn't expect you to be a little clever, but it's a pity that you hit the iron plate! Go on, who's above you? ”
"I really don't know, my lord.
Every time he came, he was dressed in black and masked.
I never saw him for what he really was. ”
"Really? Do you have no clue about his identity?
You can't just do things for them without knowing who they are, right? ”
Yuan Zhengqing suddenly lowered his voice and beckoned to Lu Luoxi sneakily.
"My lord, come here, I'll tell you quietly."
Lu Luoxi glanced at him and glanced at Qiu Lu.
"Don't play tricks, Qiu Lu, you go, I don't want to be so close to him."
Qiu Lu squatted down and pinched Yuan Zhengqing's cheek with his hand, his eyes full of disgust.
"If you have something to say, if you have a fart, don't grind here.
We don't have time to play pantomime with you here. ”
"Okay, okay, I didn't mean to. Actually, I found out by accident last year.
When the boss came to me and asked me to help hide something.
I stumbled upon dead men with tattoos on their necks.
It is a type of tattoo unique to the South.
These tattoos are usually invisible and only appear when you sweat or when the temperature is high enough.
It just so happened that the things that day seemed to be very heavy, and they didn't ask anyone to help.
As soon as I opened the door, I told me to leave, saying that it would be better to lock the door in half an hour.
Luckily, I have sharp eyes.
The moment he opened the door, he caught a glimpse of the tattoo on the neck of one of the dead men. ”
"What that tattoo looks like, draw it for me now. Qiu Lu, take a pen and paper. ”
