"Your Excellency."

The two women knelt down heavily at the same time, and then one of the women pointed vigorously at the prisoner cart not far away, and said with tears in her eyes:

"The Minnu's family was originally quite well-off, but when the thieves broke the city, although they took away most of the Minnu's family's assets, they did not hurt the lives of their father and brother, and they still left some rations for the rest of their lives.

"Finally, when the imperial court killed the anti-thieves, our family thought that we could see the light of day again and no longer have to endure the more and more excessive bullying of the anti-thieves, but we didn't expect that on the day the city was broken, General Zhang had just posted a notice to reassure the people, and a group of officers and soldiers rushed to the houses when General Zhang led the army to kill the anti-thieves, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil."

When the woman said this, the hatred in her eyes was already overflowing, and her eyes turned blood-red.

"If they take a fancy to something, they will shout that others are thieves, rob all the money and food in the house, and if they don't comply, they will kill people with knives! And they were even more ruthless than the thieves, and they refused to leave us even a grain of rice, and the father and brother of the people's daughter begged them to leave some rations, and they were impatient and pulled out their swords and stabbed their father's and brother's heads... Chop it down! ”

In the end, the corners of her mouth were already trembling, and the sound she made was also obviously trembling.

Lu Chen was shocked when he heard this, and in his mind, the miserable scene in Chai Hongyu's memory once again appeared.

Smack...

The big hand under the sleeve clenched violently, and on the fist, the green tendons burst out.

At this time, another woman added: "Not only that, but the beasts also put the heads of their father and brother in bags, saying that they were going to... To take it back to receive merit, our sisters were hiding in the well, and they didn't notice it, but how could we watch them take away my father's and brother's heads, so we rushed out to stop it, and then ......"

As she spoke, she jerked off her blouse, then turned her back to Lu Chen, and untied the strip of cloth wrapped inside.

In the next second, after seeing the appearance of the woman's back, Lu Chen's pupils shrank suddenly.

At this time, there was no charm in his heart, but a nameless fire.

But I saw that the woman's back, which should have been as smooth as jade, was covered with scabbed wounds, full of scars, and there was hardly a piece of good flesh and skin, and even the strip of cloth that she was holding in her hand was all dried dark brown bloodstains.

One can imagine how much torture she had suffered before.

Lu Chen took a deep breath, and then said slowly: "This official knows, you get dressed first." ”

The woman bowed slightly, put on the sackcloth clothes, and then gritted her teeth and said: "Those beasts not only killed their father and brother, trying to take their heads to make merit, but also defiled our two sisters, and wanted to kill us afterwards, fortunately, General Zhang arrived in time and took them all down with thunderous means, otherwise after our family died in vain, we would have to bear the infamy of being a thief, and even if we died, we would not be at peace." ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhang Yu behind Lu Chen with a grateful expression.

"General Zhang, no matter whether the adults can get justice for us, general, your great kindness to our family, the little woman will remember it, this ruined flower and willow body in this life is difficult to repay, if there is a chance in the next life, the little woman will definitely repay the general's kindness even if she is a cow or a horse."

With that, she leaned down sharply and kowtowed to Zhang Yu heavily.

Zhang Yu hurriedly stepped forward and helped her up.

"Don't be like that, girl."

Then, he turned his head inexplicably, looked at Lu Chen on the side, and said with emotion:

"Ben Jiang used to be the same as Qingzhou Wei, he only had merit and cultivation in his eyes, and he didn't have the slightest responsibility as a soldier in Daxia, he was muddy all day long, not to mention that he was waiting for you, it would be good if he didn't bully you, if it weren't for Governor Lu's good words, let Ben General realize that the army and the people should have a fish and water situation, Ben Jiang may have become as willing to degenerate as Qingzhou Wei, how could he be like now, not only repeatedly made miraculous feats, but also made breakthroughs in enlightenment one after another?"

The last words were obviously heard by Lu Chen.

"Therefore, the girl wants to thank you, and she should also thank Governor Lu, if it weren't for his old man's earnest teaching, he would have just stood by and watched in that situation, and you would never have been saved, let alone sought justice."

Hearing this, everyone's faces suddenly trembled, and then they hurriedly knelt down towards Lu Chen again.

"Thank you, Lord Lu, thank you!"

However, Lu Chen turned sideways and did not accept their gift.

Then he slowly turned his head and looked at Zhang Yu.

"Thanks for what......

There was an inexplicable hint of coldness in his voice.

"Changyu, do you think we, the court officials, are worthy of their gratitude at this moment?"

These words instantly shocked Zhang Yu.

He is not a dull person, otherwise he would not have realized more times than his father Zhang Shiping, who was the commander of Yuzhou Guard, after being awakened by Lu Chen, and his strength has increased by leaps and bounds, and he can naturally feel the dissatisfaction in Lu Chen's words.

Then I saw that he immediately retracted the rather useful look on his face, and turned to bow to Lu Chen with great anxiety, and bowed to the disciple, like a good student who was humbly accepting the teacher's reprimand, and said softly:

"Please teach the Governor."

Seeing that he looked humbly taught, Lu Chen didn't seem to be squirting like he did with the courtiers, he just took his hands and said lightly: "Zhang Yu, this official asks you, who is the perpetrator of the tragic experience of these two girls?" ”

Zhang Yu said without hesitation: "Soldiers of the Qingning Army." ”

"Whose people are they?"

"Qingning Army."

"Who is in charge of the Qingning Army?"

"Wang Qian, Wang Qian, General Soldier."

"Who is Mr. Wang?"

When asked this, Chang Yu seemed to be aware.

"It's Your Majesty, a member of the court!"

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes.

"That's right, Qingzhou Wei, like your Yuzhou Wei, is the regular army of my Great Xia Imperial Court, representing the imperial court, but they wear the armor issued by the imperial court and carry the blades made by the Weapons Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, but they kill the food and clothing parents who gave them all this."

"The perpetrators are from the imperial court, and for this alone, as an official of the imperial court, I have no face to accept their gratitude."

As he spoke, he sighed heavily.

"Yes, this is a matter of the Governor's Mansion and the Ministry of War, and it has nothing to do with the official and the Ministry of Works, but the imperial court is a whole, and the three pavilions, six departments and nine temples perform their own duties, but the division of labor is not separated, and there is such a hurtful thing, even if it is remedied afterwards, who has the face to accept the victim's thanks?"

"If you can't solve the king's worries, and you can't get rid of the people's hardship, what face do we have to live in the temple?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yu's heart trembled.

At this moment, he completely understood why Lu Chen had been serving the country and the people since he was the governor of the two states, but he refused to accept the gratitude of the people.

It turned out that in his heart, it was meaningless to uphold justice for the people afterwards, and it was his real pursuit to create a world where the people could live and work in peace and contentment without being harmed!

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Yu's gaze at Lu Chen changed instantly.

This is the real gentleman, the great husband who really cares about the world!

Syllable!

He clenched his fists violently and made a big salute to Lu Chen.

"The Governor is right, and the students are taught!"

Lu Chen saw Zhang Yu, who had been splashed with a plate of cold water, saluting him so solemnly.

Lu Chen: "......"

Shaking his head, he no longer looked at Zhang Yu, and turned his head to look at the people not far away.

"Get up too, officer, and have no shame in accepting your gratitude."

Lu Chen's words, everyone heard them clearly, although they didn't understand it very well, but they felt that this young man was indeed completely different from the official master in their impression.

This is... The real blue sky master!

Seeing that Lu Chen didn't want them to kneel at all, everyone hurriedly got up after reacting.

The two women said with a moving face: "My father and brother died, and our sisters lost their innocence, and now the folk girl has no hope of living, I only hope that the adults can seek justice for our family, so as to comfort the soul of my father and brother in heaven." ”

Lu Chen exhaled softly.

He naturally knew that if it weren't for the will to die, how could these ordinary people follow Zhang Yu into Beijing?

Life has to go on, and the survival of ordinary people in this high-martial world is far more difficult than the ancient society of Blue Star. (End of chapter)
