After a while, Chen Kuan stood up, wiped the dust on his body very embarrassed, and then looked at Lu Chen in horror, but he didn't dare to look at him, just lowered his head.

Seeing his bear-like appearance, Lu Chen could basically confirm the guess in his heart.

But even so, he still didn't directly order Zhu Yong to take people, after all, simply suppressing people with power, and then punishing without teaching is not the style of the predecessor.

"Chen Kuan."

He called out with a cold look in his eyes.

"Down... The lower official is here! ”

Chen Kuan hurriedly agreed, for fear that Lu Chen would be killed on the spot if he reacted slowly.

"The officer asked you." Lu Chen looked at him and said coldly: "These people were taken to Dongshi and tortured to show the public, is it your order?" ”

Seeing that Lu Chen really asked about this, Chen Kuan's face suddenly turned like chaff.

But he still gritted his teeth, and after a little hesitation, he nodded in response: "Yes... It's an order from a lower officer, but it's because ......"

"Shut up!"

Lu Chen scolded: "Just answer the official's question, if the official doesn't ask, don't say more!" ”

Hearing this, Chen Kuan couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Lu Chen said again: "Why do you treat the people with such cruel methods, what did they do wrong?" And what authority do you have over the people? Did you ask the county government for instructions before giving the order? ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Li Yongcheng on the side again.

"If there is a confession, Li County Order, why do you sentence the people to death without going through a public trial? Do you have so much power? Yes?! ”

Facing Lu Chen's repeated questioning, the two couldn't help but glance at each other, and each could see the panic in each other's eyes.

After a while, Li Yongcheng stood up.

"Hui Lu, Lord Lu, this official naturally knows about this, and the reason why this is so is because these people are lawless and disrespect the court, so... So ......"

He argued hesitantly.

It is nothing more than Chu Zhan and others provoking the imperial court, disobeying discipline, injuring the yacha, resisting the imperial court, there is a possibility of rioting, and they are in a hurry to obey power, they act in order to strangle the danger in the cradle, deter lawlessness, and maintain the law of the imperial court and the stability of the clouds.

From beginning to end, he had no substantial evidence to prove that these people had rioted, and he couldn't even prove that Chu Zhan, who injured Yacha, was related to others.

There is nothing to say properly.

Lu Chen's face was cold: "That is to say... Nothing, right? ”

The corners of Li Yongcheng's eyes twitched.

"I hope your Excellency will see it."

"Hehe... What a no-brainer. ”

Lu Chen's face was mocking.

"It seems that your methods are still slightly more clever than that King Yu, at least you won't even bother to find excuses."

Hearing this, the two of them were immediately shocked.

Li Yongcheng said in a trembling voice: "What do you mean, my lord? ”

"What do you mean?"

Lu Chen laughed.

"I've always been inappropriate, I don't do personnel, and I can't even understand people's words?"

After a pause, he added: "You promised to give ten stones of grain to every one of the people who moved to Montenegro, but only one stone was given on the grounds that the evil cult attacked and the official warehouse was burned down. A stone of grain, in a place like Montenegro, they can't even live, shouldn't they fight for a chance to survive for themselves? ”

"What? All the officials of my Great Xia court are saints, so can't they be questioned in the slightest? ”

Seeing that Lu Chen was ready to ask for the guilt in a clear way, Chen Kuan couldn't help but be a little unwilling, and under the strong will to survive, he had the courage to argue for himself: "But they don't obey discipline, and there are already signs of riots, and they are lower... The lower officials are also thinking about the court and taking precautions......"

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Chen: "Bullshit, prevention is better than prevention!" ”

His eyes were round and he looked at Chen Kuan.

"Disobedience? They can't live anymore, how can they obey?! How? Could it be that some kind of god in the imperial court, if they want to die, they can only obediently wait for death? ”

Hearing this, the two of them were speechless for a moment.

However, as soon as Lu Chen's words came out, Gu Simiao and Fu Huan frowned at the same time inexplicably.

"It's... Lord Lu, it's really not what you think, Xiaguan... Xiaguan ......"

Li Yongcheng wanted to defend again, but Lu Chen didn't bother to talk to him.

He glared at the two of them angrily and said sharply: "In the absence of evidence, based on his own reverie, he thought that the people intended to riot, and then he was convicted without a court, and he was hastily convicted and sentenced to death. ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand sharply.

"The people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to bully, Zhu Yong!"

"Humble duty!"

Lu Chen raised his voice and said: "Pass on this official order, immediately file the case, and take down all the people involved in this matter, whether it is a county order or a government mission, no one will be left, all of them will be controlled by this official, and then summon the nearby Xuanji Wei to investigate the matter thoroughly, find out whether the relief grain has been burned, whether the procedures for collecting the grain are compliant and reasonable, and whether the details of the account books can be matched, focusing on finding out the source and whereabouts of the relief grain?" ”

"Before the facts of this case are revealed, no one is allowed to leave the county government office!"

After a pause, he added aggressively: "No matter who is standing behind these people, what background they have, and who intercedes, they will ignore it, and record it, this time the official will not only pull out the turnips, but also get all the mud out until everything is clear!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Yong did not respond immediately, but raised his head and looked at Fu Huan not far away.

Without the slightest hesitation, Fu Huan nodded directly.

Obviously, no matter how big Lu Chen wants to make this matter, she will support it to the end.

Isn't it just to mobilize Xuanjiwei, it's simple.

Anyway, afterwards, the empress would not blame her for making her own initiative and mobilizing Xuan Jiwei without authorization, after all, she had already ordered that as long as Lu Chen was in need, Xuan Jiwei would have to provide all support.

Seeing that the boss of Xuanjiwei responded, Zhu Yong immediately no longer hesitated, bowed down directly, and solemnly hugged his fists towards Lu Chen and responded:

"Whoa!"

In the next second, he glanced at the other Xuanji Guards, and then raised his hand suddenly.

Swish!!

Several milky white beams of light flew violently from his hands, flying towards Li Yongcheng and the others at an extremely fast speed, and tied them up in the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, before they could react, Zhu Yong grabbed the tail of the beam and pulled it directly.

"Ahh

Li Yongcheng and the others screamed in pain, and the whole person fell to the ground heavily, unable to move.

Several other Xuanji guards stepped forward and restrained them.

It was all happening, and by the time they reacted, it was already too late.

Under Zhu Yong's restraint technique, they couldn't move at all, and could only shout to Lu Chen for wrongdoing.

Lu Chen naturally ignored their grievances, and waved his hand directly at Zhu Yong.

"Hold on!"

"Yes!"

Several Xuanji guards answered, and then sent Li Yongcheng and the others away.

Seeing that the characters who were like gods on weekdays were taken down by Lu Chen so easily, Chen Qingde couldn't help but swallow heavily, and his heart was full of shock.

Obviously, Lu Chen's ability was countless times stronger than he imagined.

After finally suppressing the shock in his heart, an irrepressible ecstasy surged out from the bottom of his heart, and the old faces that covered the surroundings were full of joy.

How could he not like it?

Lu Chen was like crushing an ant to death, and he casually killed the once invincible official master, and it was for the sake of them poor people.

What is it? This is the master of the blue sky who is the master of the people!

With Lu Chen here, even if they only have a stone of grain in their hands now, they don't have to worry about starving to death!

Lord Qingtian has already made decisions for them personally, will the good days be far away?

As soon as he thought of this, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his cloudy old eyes.

The numbness and despair that were originally hidden in his eyes also disappeared completely at this moment.

All that remains is infinite hope and anticipation.
