When Li Yongcheng, Chen Kuan and several other local officials of Taihe County came to Dongshi with great anxiety, they saw from a distance that under the fang sign of Dongshi, several yacha were being hung in the air, and next to each yacha, there was a strange hemp rope suspended in mid-air, which was constantly beating the yacha, beating them to the point of crying father and mother.

"My lord spares his life... Adults spare their lives......"

"The little ones don't dare anymore!!"

“……”

The voices of the officials begging for mercy can be heard clearly from a hundred paces.

Several people couldn't help but sink in their hearts, looking at the scene not far away, their faces gradually showed hesitation, and they subconsciously took two steps back, not daring to go further.

At this time, how can they still have the majesty of their weekdays?

From the moment Zhu Yongliang was the deputy commander of Xuanjiwei and brought them from Yixiangyuan or from the restaurant, their official authority no longer existed.

In these years, who dares to put on an official posture in front of Xuan Jiwei?

was approached by Xuan Jiwei, can there be any good things that can't be done?

Moreover, the people behind Xuan Jiwei were obviously not good, and as soon as they came, they used those yacha to stand up, and they didn't give any face, and they didn't take them seriously at all.

For a moment, they even had the urge to turn around and run.

However, they just took two steps back...

Boom!

Zhu Yong suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist.

"What are you doing in a daze? Lord Lu, they are all waiting for you there, hurry up and give Lao Tzu over! ”

He said unceremoniously, with a threat in his words.

"If you delay the hour and Lao Tzu is blamed by Lord Lu, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will chop you up on the spot!"

As always, the thief-like speech.

It is no different from the attitude when facing the Gu family at the beginning.

In the face of Zhu Yong's threat, everyone neither dared to be angry nor speak, hurriedly apologized, and then walked towards the Dongshifang pai not far away.

When the Holy King entered Luojing and purged the demon queen's henchmen, Xuanjiwei played an extremely important role.

Xuanjiwei's strength has been verified in the rolling heads of the capital, and now nearly half of the officials in Luojing are living in the shadow of Xuanjiwei, for fear that one day Xuanjiwei will come to the door to raid the family and exterminate the clan.

Among them, the biggest official position is Li Yongcheng, who is the seventh grade, where does he dare to provoke the great god Xuan Jiwei?

Soon, everyone was rushed to the vicinity of Lu Chen and the others in the way that Zhu Yong was almost escorted.

And the moment he saw Gu Simiao beside Lu Chen, Li Yongcheng's pupils shrank instantly.

"Big ...... The Great General......"

He spoke in a trembling voice.

Gu Simiao's eyes raised slightly, and the corners of her mouth hooked up with a sneer.

"Isn't this the Li County Order? I haven't seen you for many days, I really didn't expect to meet again, you actually prepared such a big surprise for Ben General, which really flattered Ben Jiang. ”

Hearing this, Li Yongcheng's heart trembled.

Gu Simiao's obvious counter-words, he naturally wouldn't fail to hear them.

"General, this"

He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Lu Chen suddenly looked over.

"Needless to say, high-sounding nonsense or excuses."

Lu Chen undoubtedly interrupted Li Yongcheng's words, then stared at him and said coldly: "Li County Order, right?" The official only asks you a few questions, and you can answer them honestly, and the official will judge whether you have anything to do with this matter, and if this matter has nothing to do with you, this official will never be embarrassed, but if it is inseparable from you."

As he spoke, his face suddenly turned pale.

"Then don't blame the official for being polite."

Hearing this, Li Yongcheng couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and subconsciously turned his head to look over.

Immediately afterwards, when he saw the figure that appeared in the light curtain with the empress in the Xinyuan Grand Ceremony, his eyes widened instantly.

"Lu Lu."

The corners of Li Yongcheng's mouth trembled, and he instinctively exclaimed:

"Lord Lu!"

Syllable!

Chen Kuan, who was on the side, suddenly weakened his legs, his body staggered and fell to the ground, and his eyes were full of horror when he looked at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen?!

That legend has never known what fear is, advocates "the people are noble and the king is light", and regards the people as more important than anything else?!

In Chen Kuan's mind, a piece of news that he had heard not long ago suddenly appeared.

I heard that when Lu Chen was the governor of the two states, King Yu, the prince of Yipin, just killed some untouchables casually, and was killed by him, and then even washed the officialdom of the entire Sui and Yu states in blood.

At the thought of this, Chen Kuan's eyes almost darkened.

It's over, how could this evil star quietly come to an unknown ghost place like Taihe County?

And that's exactly what happened!

Isn't he a big celebrity in front of His Majesty? Shouldn't you stay in Luojing to guide the country? Isn't it in the capital and the court to compete for power and profit?

Obviously, it only takes one day for him to clean up the whole matter, why did this guy suddenly appear at such a time.

Not only Chen Kuan and Li Yongcheng, but also the county officials, wardens and others reacted, and their faces became extremely ugly.

"Since you know this official, it's easy to do."

Lu Chen raised his footsteps, slowly walked in front of Li Yongcheng, and looked at a few people indifferently.

He didn't bother to care what they were thinking at the moment.

Fear or resentment.

Since he came to this world, he has never cared about the attitude of others.

Li Yongcheng said in a trembling voice: "Lord Lu Lu, what do you want to ask?" ”

Lu Chen took his hands and slowly spoke: "Li County Order, this official asks you, have you asked for instructions from Shuntian Mansion for organizing the people to pay mutual aid grain?" Have you ever gotten approval? How much is this mutual bread? Are you ready to return to the warehouse in advance? Has Xicang sent heavy troops to guard it? Who was sent? Have you been in the news lately? Xicang was attacked by demons, did the officers and soldiers guarding it fulfill their duties, and how many died in their duties? How many people were injured? Is there accountability? And where are those people? What is the food loss? Is the information documented? Is there a plan to compensate displaced people? Have you ever considered the follow-up livelihood of the people who receive a stone of grain to Montenegro? ”

Facing Lu Chen's series of questions, Li Yongcheng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

How much is Mutual Aid Food? Even if the more than 1,800 families who moved to Montenegro were given ten stones each, there would still be a lot left.

Heavily guarded? He just made a report, and he didn't even invite the watchman of the evil division, and the one sent to Xicang was only a dozen or so catchers in the county office.

The demon is coming, of course they have to be injured, isn't this already a few taels of consolation money, these people are probably still lying in Yixiangyuan now.

As for what is recorded or whatever, it is impossible to talk about compensating the relocated people's food or anything.

The official warehouses are empty, what will he compensate the people? Do you want to make up for it with your own food?!

What's the difference between that and looking for death?

This happened only at noon today, and the people who came to beg for food had just been suppressed, and he had just begun to arrange the arrangement, how could it be possible to give a convincing explanation so quickly?

Now that I'm being asked, naturally there are loopholes everywhere.

After a while, Li Yongcheng forcibly calmed himself down, his brain was racing, and he kept thinking about how to deal with it.

However, Lu Chen would not give him time to react.

Seeing that Li Yongcheng didn't speak, Lu Chen raised his eyebrows.

"What? Is there anything else you need to think about telling the official about the established facts? Or are you, as the head of a county, not even aware of such a big matter? ”

"This."

Li Yongcheng swallowed his saliva, and said nervously: "I'm sorry, Lord Lu, the lower officials and lower officials have been fascinated by you for a long time, and when I saw you today, I was excited for a while, and I was a little difficult to suppress."

"There is no need to say flattery."

A sneer tugged at the corner of Lu Chen's mouth.

"Or do you want to stall so you can make excuses?"

Li Yongcheng's face trembled.

"The lower officials don't dare!"

"Then hurry up and talk back!"

Lu Chen scolded.

"Yes!"

Li Yongcheng subconsciously responded, and then said hesitantly: "There are a total of 37,000 stone of mutual aid grain, and the lower officials have already reported to Shuntian Mansion before returning to the warehouse, and at the same time sent the county's catchers and yamen to guard them overnight."

Lu Chen suddenly asked, "Have you asked the Evil Division stationed in Taihe County?" ”

"This."

Li Yongcheng said: "There are not many people in the Evil Division stationed in Taihe County, and the lower officials see that they are busy with official business, so they will"

"That is, without asking for instructions, I relied on those officials in the county government who were not even considered warriors to guard the official warehouse, right?"

Li Yongcheng nodded stubbornly: "Xiaguan. The lower officials are also for the sake of the imperial court, after all, His Majesty has not been in power for a long time, and the watchmen of the evil division must strictly guard against the evil places everywhere and the affairs of the official warehouse."

"Don't talk to this official!"

Lu Chen sneered again.

"Yes is yes, no is no! Where is all this nonsense? ”

Seeing that Lu Chen was angry, Li Yongcheng hurriedly said yes.

Then Lu Chen asked a few key questions, although Li Yongcheng reluctantly responded, and opened and closed his mouth for the sake of the court, but every time he was ruthlessly debunked by Lu Chen.

When he got to the back, Lu Chen didn't bother to ask, and walked directly to Chen Kuan on the side in his worried gaze.

Chen Kuan's performance was even worse than Li Yongcheng's, and when he saw Lu Chen looking at him coldly, his mouth was so trembling that he couldn't speak.

"Do you have a ghost in your heart?"

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Huh?!"

Such a simple and straightforward question made Chen Kuan suddenly shocked.

After reacting, he hurriedly shook his head.

"No, no!"

Lu Chen's sharp eyes swept over him, and it suddenly made him feel like he was falling into an ice cave.

My body was shivering with cold.

"There is nothing wrong in your heart, so what are you shaking? Why are you so afraid of this official?! ”

As he spoke, a faint golden light quietly flashed on Lu Chen's body, and at the same time, a powerful power of the superior suddenly erupted, enveloping Chen Kuan in front of him in an instant.

Boom!!

Chen Kuan only felt that his body sank suddenly, and when he was caught off guard, his body was unstable and fell directly to the ground.

I almost didn't faint on the spot.

The cold coercion quickly spread towards the surroundings, and the strong sense of oppression made Li Yongcheng and the others feel a terrifying sense of suffocation at the same time.

A strong sense of uneasiness and foreboding rose from the bottom of my heart.

It's over, and it's done directly in the hands of this evil star, this catastrophe. I'm afraid I won't be able to get by
