Daming Wuhou
Chapter 098
The so-called what kind of subordinate and what kind of master they are with, Cheng Er and Zhu Di usually can't see anything, but when their faces sink, they are absolutely overwhelming.
The man shivered unconsciously when he looked at Cheng Er, and even twitched slightly.
Everyone has a smell, and the man may have smelled blood from Cheng Er's body, which made him look like this in fright.
Cheng Er slashed the knife on the back of the man's hand expressionlessly, and the man whimpered louder in pain, but he didn't dare to struggle, for fear that he would accidentally bump into the tip of the knife.
Blood snaked down from the back of his hand, Cheng Er slowly withdrew his hand, and tore off the cloth from his mouth.
The man kept trembling, and said in his mouth: "I...I...What do you want to ask? I, I will explain...I will say..."
Cheng Er sneered: "Have you forgotten who you are in front of now?"
The man raised his head carefully, facing Zhu Di's face, he became even more terrified, and while trembling, he changed his words and said: "King Yan, villain...it's the villain who is so helpless, I beg His Highness King Yan to spare the little boy people……"
Of course, Zhu Di didn't need to work hard to deal with such a small person. Zhu Di didn't speak from the beginning to the end, so Lu Changting followed suit and stopped talking.
Cheng Er snorted coldly: "Don't talk nonsense again! Tell me clearly, what's the matter with the hollowed out foundation? What do you want to do? How did you do it? Do you know what consequences this will cause?" When it came to the last sentence, it was pure anger.
This is why Cheng Er is not angry, such a selfish and reckless idiot, it is the most convenient to kill him with one knife!
Lu Changting and Zhu Di were not much better either, they gave the man a disgusted look, and waited for the man to continue talking.
The man swallowed, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense, and honestly explained his purpose.This is really not what Lu Changting expected, the man's idea was to create gold from Shui Sheng,
"Who told you this method?" Lu Changting asked coldly.
The man lowered his head and said falteringly: "I... I figured it out myself."
"Based on the level you have figured out, you dare to use it! You can't even hire a serious Feng Shui master, no wonder you have no financial luck! You are so poor!" After finishing speaking, Lu Changting immediately corrected: "Oh, that's not right. , you can’t wait until you are poor, you killed Mr. Li’s family, you can die now!”
The man trembled violently, and he didn't even dare to meet Lu Changting's eyes: "...No, I don't want to die! No...I didn't do anything, I really didn't expect such consequences, please forgive me Come on, no, spare the villain! The villain will never dare again! There will never be any more!"
Lu Changting really didn't like his appearance. The man lowered his head and didn't dare to lift it because he was afraid of revealing the hatred in his eyes, right?
"How did you do it?" Cheng Er kicked him on the waist with such force that the man screamed in pain, as if killing a pig.
The man was sweating profusely from the pain, and finally spoke out tremblingly.
If you want to move the foundation and dig up the earth and rocks, then of course you have to start construction, and you need workers, not to mention a dozen or so workers, but a few workers are always needed. When a few workers enter the water, they fiddle with digging holes in the water. Can people who stay at the pier all year round not notice?Therefore, to be able to dig the foundation like this quietly, this man must have special means to achieve it.
The man gritted his teeth, but in the end the fear of death prevailed, and he said in a deep voice, "Yes...it's the county magistrate..."
magistrate?
Lu Changting was a little surprised, why did he happen to have something to do with him?
Dao Yan nodded and said, "Interesting."
The man explained the process in detail.
It turned out that he spread the news around the city, saying that the pier was old and should be repaired. The county magistrate accepted his money, so naturally he readily agreed, and then contracted the pier project to him. Craftsmen, and servants who mingled with their own homes, began the process of digging the foundation.
The county magistrate didn't know what the man was going to do, he only knew that the man insisted on repairing the pier, and he wasn't the one who spent money, so the county magistrate let the man go.
The people in the city and the county magistrate didn't know that the pier, which was originally good, was turned into worse by men than it was in disrepair.
It is precisely because of the official name of the county government that this man can achieve his goal so smoothly, and the people have never doubted him. Up to now, the people on the pier are just water ghosts. It never occurred to me that this was someone making trouble behind the scenes.
Lu Changting couldn't bear it any longer, and scolded in a cold tone: "You're willing to spend money to bribe the county magistrate, but you're reluctant to spend money to hire a serious Feng Shui master! You're so stupid, no wonder the business is not doing well!"
It can be said that every sentence of these words stepped on the man's sore feet, he was trembling with anger, but he didn't dare to look up at Lu Changting, he was really cowardly to the extreme.
"Are you sure the magistrate nodded?" Dao Yan asked.
"Yes, it was the money collected by the master next to the county magistrate. Later, the county government came to say that this matter was left to the villain. At that time, many people knew about it!"
At this time, the master has not yet become official, which means that there is no such position as a master in the yamen, he is only hired by the county magistrate privately.
Lu Changting couldn't help raising his eyebrows lightly. Doesn't that mean that this master can fully represent the magistrate's face in his actions?After all, this was privately hired by the county magistrate!
Thinking of this, Lu Changting couldn't help turning his head to look at Dao Yan. At this time, Dao Yan's eyes had fainted with a little smile.
Lu Changting knew that Dao Yan was going to set this trap a little deeper for the county magistrate.
If a maid can't prove anything, then this man can prove that the digging of the foundation was aimed at Mr. Li from the very beginning, in order to make it become the burial place of Mr. Li without anyone noticing...
The magistrate's luck is really not very good!
This happened to happen to them!
Dao Yan and Zhu Di looked at each other, and then asked the man aloud: "There is still a road ahead of you now, you can not be charged..." Dao Yan's tone was calm and indifferent, but for a person in a desperate situation Full of temptation.
"What, what?" the man trembled.In fact, he also knows, how can there be such a good thing as a pie in the sky?Generally, what falls is poisonous.
"I testify that the magistrate has completed the deal with you, and ordered you to dig out the foundation."
The man trembled even more, and now he also realized that he had fallen into the struggle between the big fish.
But to save my life...
The man looked down at the back of his hand, the blood on it was so dazzling and shocking.
He doesn't want to die!
The man gritted his teeth and said, "What should I do?" After that, he suddenly raised his head and looked over expectantly, but when he saw Dao Yan's face, the man flinched unconsciously.
terrible!
This person's facial features actually made him think of evil and horror at first glance!
As if he didn't notice the man's gaze, Dao Yan talked to the man about how to deal with it at that time.
On the other hand, Lu Changting was a little unhappy.
Although he used to look at Dao Yan's face in this way, but now the relationship between him and Dao Yan is different from the past, so naturally there is a certain bias in his heart.The man's gaze just made Lu Changting feel uncomfortable and made him feel that it was an offense to Dao Yan.
Dao Yan seemed to be aware of it, and when he was talking to the man, he turned his head to look at Lu Changting.
Lu Changting looked back.
Dao Yan smiled and looked away.
Zhu Di on the side was very dissatisfied with the two people's flirting, so he secretly reached out and pinched Lu Changting's waist. Lu Changting's waist felt itchy, he twisted his waist uncomfortably, and turned his head to stare at Zhu Di.
Zhu Di felt refreshed by this stare.
The pure Cheng Er didn't even notice the atmosphere in the air.
"... Got it?" Dao Yan finally said the conclusion.
The man nodded cautiously: "I understand." But in fact, the man's heart is completely lost at this moment.
What is the identity of the county magistrate?A parent officer!What is his identity?What an unrefined little businessman!No power, no status!He can be crushed to death with the movement of a finger!But what can he do now?Standing in front of him was King Yan, who was even more powerful and powerful. He didn't even need to move a finger if he wanted him to die.
Various thoughts flashed through the man's mind, and finally he strengthened his belief in the bottom of his heart.
To survive...
What about the county magistrate?If the county magistrate is really overthrown this time, King Yan's prestige in Beiping will become higher and higher in the future, and he has done something for King Yan at least, so he will always be able to gain glory by then.
Put it to death and then live again, it's right in front of you!
The man swore to Zhu Di that he would do what he was told...
They really disliked the man's face, now that they have asked clearly and explained clearly, they naturally drove him out directly.
Lu Changting was a little curious: "Don't you need to send someone to follow him?"
Zhu Di smiled lightly and said, "Why waste manpower?" As he spoke, Zhu Di stroked Lu Changting's hair carelessly.
From the corner of Dao Yan's eyes, he noticed Zhu Di's movements, and he couldn't help but twitch his eyelids, explaining: "If he doesn't go to inform the county magistrate, it's good, but if he does, it's okay, and it will only increase the magistrate's burden." It's just fear, and no one will believe it if you tell it, the majestic King Yan, is it worthwhile to intentionally frame a county magistrate?"
Dao Yan can say these words, that is extremely confident.
Lu Changting has to say, he just likes this style of acting!It's no fun to be timid and hesitant to move forward. If you are confident and open-minded, that's true courage!
Zhu Di caught a glimpse of the admiration in Lu Changting's eyes, and frowned indistinctly.
"Is Master Daoyan staying in the palace today?" Lu Changting asked unconsciously.
Before Daoyan could open his mouth, Zhu Di was the first to say: "It's getting late, I'm staying in the palace." After finishing speaking, Zhu Di said to Cheng Er: "Take Daoyan to rest, and Changting and I will leave first."
Because Dao Yan often came to the palace, sometimes the servant girl took him to the house, and sometimes he didn't even need someone to lead him there...but today Zhu Di threw him to Cheng Er.
That Cheng Er is also sincere, and he took Dao Yan to the inverted room in the outer courtyard, which is separated from the inner courtyard by two doors, and the courtyard where Lu Changting lives is separated by more than one door .
Dao Yan also noticed Zhu Di's intentions, and after stepping into the inverted room, Cheng Er heard him chuckle inexplicably.
Cheng Er looked at Dao Yan suspiciously: "Mr. Dao Yan, what's wrong?"
Dao Yan shook his head and waved his hand.
The door of the house was closed in Cheng Er's sight.
Cheng Er shook his head.Monk Daoyan's mind is really elusive!
----
Mr. Li's family quickly arrived in Beiping, and the magistrate's wife also had another face-off with the magistrate. The magistrate's face was torn off and trampled on the ground. It's almost impossible to operate normally. The magistrate is not in a good mood. Can others please?No one can please!
After Mr. Li's family members arrived, they naturally also heard the rumors that were raging.Since the magistrate and Mr. Li did have a history of discord, Mrs. Li didn't care about that much, and directly decided that it was the magistrate's fault, and immediately sued the magistrate.
Who should take care of the county magistrate's crime?
Mention punishment according to the procuratorate.
According to the procuratorial division, which is in charge of criminal names and litigation affairs below the prison sentence, it belongs to the provincial judicial department. Of course, those above the prison sentence have to be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment.
According to the Ming Law at that time, even if the county magistrate committed murder, it was unlikely that he would be sentenced to death.
There are two ways to reduce the crimes of officials in the Ming Dynasty. One is that in the interrogation stage, all officials who commit crimes will be interrogated and punished by the emperor, so that criminal officials below the sixth rank and outsiders have a chance to be exonerated, while those above the sixth rank and Beijing officials There are two chances for exoneration; and the other time is during the execution stage. Although the Ming Law stipulates that public crimes, those who should be flogged can make atonement.But in the early Ming Dynasty, there was a rule called "Three crimes are like the law", which means that only three or four crimes will be punished according to the law.
It can be seen that officials have great privileges.
Only those who were really unlucky and directly offended Emperor Hongwu would be quick to convict and kill you quickly.
Those who were dragged directly from the court hall to be spanked and executed with the cane are really everywhere.
……
In short, the magistrate is unlikely to pay the price with his life for this. Although the master of the Li family is the chief secretary, he is indeed not easy to provoke, but his position is not high after all, and it is still difficult to kill the magistrate.
Therefore, the magistrate's matter can't go to the Ministry of punishment, but can go to the inspector department.
After checking the facts, he went up to the emperor.
However, Beiping is remote, but it is only a small magistrate, how could the emperor care about you?Although everyone below the sixth-rank official can have a chance to be exempted from liability, but this opportunity was given by the emperor. The emperor doesn't care about you and is unwilling to give it to you, so naturally it will disappear.
Basically, as long as it is set by the Procuratorate, it will not be changed.Doesn't the emperor have to listen to the opinions of the people below?He has no likes or dislikes towards the county magistrate, and he doesn't remember what he looks like, so he will naturally listen to the opinion of the inspector.
After Lu Changting thought about the joint, he became a little curious about Zhu Di and Dao Yan's ideas.
"If he can't die, then what kind of punishment should be given?" If it is light, it is useless, but it will infuriate the enemy and promote them to become stronger.
With an attitude of mastering the overall situation, Zhu Di said calmly: "Changting, have you ever heard of the rules of dealing with crimes?"
Lu Changting suddenly realized.
This was very common during the Hongwu period.
Because too many people died in the Hu Lan case in the early days, and many people died in order to eliminate corrupt officials. In the Ming Dynasty, there was even a situation where no officials were available, so when officials committed crimes later, they had to be blamed. The rules of doing things, if you commit a crime, I will convict you, but you will not be punished immediately, but you must first wear the crime to do things. If you continue to work hard, I will not give you money.
For officials, nothing is worse than death.
Moreover, even if an official who has committed a crime is not dismissed for a while, he still sits in that position, but he cannot be the same as before.
This is a typical case of unlucky people who have worked hard, but still can't get a good end.
"Fourth brother is planning to convict the county magistrate in this way?" Lu Changting asked.
Zhu Di nodded: "Death is cheap for him."
Dare to offend King Yan, it is indeed easy for him to die.
"In two days, the inspectors will come to Beiping." Zhu Di said lightly.
Then it will be lively.
Lu Changting felt that he could already foresee how Nazhi County would look ugly, or panicked and extremely angry.
Zhu Di raised his hand and patted the top of Lu Changting's head: "Just wait."
There was a rare lightness in his tone.
This calm performance made Lu Changting feel extremely charming.
In fact, from the very beginning, Zhu Di didn't take these little guys to heart, because he knew from the very beginning that one day he would get rid of all these people without much effort.
Lu Changting didn't think he had made much contribution. After all, Zhu Di still had Dao Yan by his side. Even without him, Zhu Di could still take down these people.Lu Changting is very lucky, but fortunately, he can still help out now, saving Zhu Di some time.
Lu Changting didn't notice that when he looked at Zhu Di, his eyes gradually showed some admiration and appreciation. This kind of gaze was extremely useful to Zhu Di. With such a comparison, Lu Changting said to him that day. Yan's admiration was nothing, and Zhu Di even felt that it was obvious that when Chang Ting looked at him, his eyes were softer and more appreciative.
Zhu Di was immediately satisfied.
"Are you feeling tired today? Do you want to rest?" Zhu Di asked aloud.
Lu Changting nodded, and looked at Zhu Di suspiciously.
He feels that Zhu Di has become very strange recently, and now he can be sure that this is not an illusion, but is indeed the case.
"Fourth brother...will you still be with me today?" Lu Changting asked hesitantly.
"En." Zhu Di answered very naturally, even in a natural tone. Lu Changting carefully scrutinized his facial expressions, and naturally found nothing in the end.
Lu Changting frowned indistinctly, and finally went to wash and rest with Zhu Di.
This autumn day is getting colder and colder, Lu Changting can breathe out white breath, he tightens the quilt tightly, trying to plug the gap between his and Zhu Di's shoulders, when he pulls the quilt, Zhu Di suddenly falls on his body Come, wrap him in your arms, although I have to say, it's still quite warm.
"Go to sleep." Zhu Di's deep voice sounded in his ears, as if with magical power, Lu Changting really closed his eyes unconsciously.
Before falling asleep, Lu Changting thought in a daze... Has Zhu Di become more attractive?In future generations, she will be able to flirt with girls...
----
Three days later, the inspectors really arrived in Peiping.
And during this period of time, Lu Changting did not see Mrs. Gong again. Obviously, Mrs. Gong was shaken by his words again. Once the internal conflicts in the Gong family arose, naturally there was no way to find Lu Changting and Zhu Di, but Lu Changting knew very well that Gong Qian couldn't bear it for long.
The things he seized by improper means before will of course bring about bad chain effects.
How much he got, how much he has to spit out now...
Heaven is very fair.
Putting the matter of Gong Qian aside for now, Lu Changting is going to go out with Zhu Di.
As the feudal lord of Beiping territory, Zhu Di naturally should show his face.
It's just that he is a prince, and those who are in charge of inspectors will naturally not be received by the prince. Only these people have the reason to welcome Zhu Di.Because their carriage was heading directly towards the county government office, it was naturally visible in the court.As soon as the inspectors at the other end heard that King Yan had come out of the palace, he was bound to go to the county government office. How dare they delay with Qiao?Everyone can't wait to spread their hoofs and run to the county government office, making sure to arrive before King Yan.
Zhu Di took Lu Changting slowly in the carriage.
Even if he didn't meet the inspectors, Zhu Di could guess what they looked like at this time, they should be in a hurry, and no one dared to be slighted.
Zhu Di laughed and said: "If it were the past, these people would definitely not treat me like this. There are quite a few princes and princes, who is more valuable than whom?"
He said all the valuable things, which shows how disgusted Zhu Di is for this.
"It's just being an adult, confiscating the land, and leading the soldiers, which makes people look up." Zhu Di said lightly, without the slightest negative emotion in his tone, as if he was really just stating the facts generally.
Lu Changting's fingers curled up unconsciously.
In fact, he felt that what Zhu Di said to him at this moment was a little too close, and he completely opened himself up.
Lu Changting didn't speak for a while.
Zhu Di didn't care at all whether he said something or not, anyway, if he said it himself, it would be fine if Lu Changting heard it.
After quite a while, Lu Changting suddenly stretched out his hand, imitating Zhu Di's favorite movements, and patted the back of Zhu Di's hand reassuringly.
Zhu Di also stretched out his hand, and with his long arms around, he easily pulled Lu Changting into his arms, and said, "The carriage is bumpy, let's rest on it for a while." As he spoke, Lu Changting fell down naturally in his hands. In his arms, Lu Changting naturally became a head shorter. Naturally, Lu Changting couldn't see the flashing smile on Zhu Di's face, it was so strong.
On the other side, according to the inspector's department and his party, they hurried to the county government office.
The county government was in a state of chaos... The petty officials couldn't help trembling when they walked, for fear that something was not done well enough and something went wrong, which would cause displeasure to the superiors.
Not long after, the carriage of King Yan's Mansion stopped outside the county government office, and the Zaoli outside the county government office saw it at a glance, and Dang even turned around and ran all the way to call the county magistrate.
"The King of Yan has arrived! The King of Yan has arrived!"
The sound elicited a very different reaction.
Zhixian seemed calm and even smiled, but only he knew how angry and hated he was.
But the people in charge of inspectors are really happy from the bottom of their hearts.
After all, this is a prince!
It happened to be here at this time, and it was not in vain for them to rush all the way.
At this time, the county magistrate said indifferently: "There is an extremely difficult person beside His Highness King Yan."
According to the procuratorate, it seems that he has never heard of it.
At this juncture, you still want to speak ill of others!
The Procuratorate looked back at the magistrate, with a bit of contempt in his eyes.In the past, Zhixian would not be like this. It is precisely because the events of the past few days have really annoyed him that Zhixian is so restless.
He never thought that there would be a day when he would be knocked down, so when that day came, he was so at a loss.
Because King Yan wanted to come in, they didn't even dare to sit down, so they could only stand there and wait.
After a while, they heard footsteps, and everyone looked up in unison.
The leader is wearing a red uniform and a winged crown, looking extremely handsome!And behind him, there was a young man with extremely exquisite facial features. The young man had good-looking features, but he exuded an extremely cold and arrogant aura. Then he looked at the young men, eunuchs, and soldiers of the palace... No one can surpass the demeanor of the first two.
"I have seen His Royal Highness King Yan!" Everyone looked away and bowed in unison.
Lu Changting turned his head and glanced carefully at Zhu Di. At this time, Zhu Di's aura was naturally different. In front of these officials, Zhu Di had a strong royal aura, and he was very noble.
No matter where it is, it has always been like this.You are strong and he is weak, and you are weak and he is strong.
If they were majestic princes, if they had to face them with an approachable face, it would only make them despise them from the bottom of their hearts.
At this moment, when the officials in front of them met Zhu Di's pale face, their hearts trembled unconsciously, and they lowered their heads not daring to look any further.
"Let's start." Zhu Di said out loud.
"What's the start?" The inspector asked in a dazed voice.
The person next to him slapped him on the back: "Of course the investigation is started!"
The stupefied green muttered to himself, so quickly...
With Zhu Di watching from the side, of course hurry up!
Zhu Di knew very well that these people had to be fast.
The face of Nazhi County was extremely ugly, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "You have no right to interrogate."
The inspector shook his head: "Of course we don't dare to interrogate, but we have to investigate this matter. The county magistrate doesn't have to worry. If it has nothing to do with the county magistrate, we will simply investigate and interrogate this case." That is, they are targeting cases, not people.
But how can Zhixian really not worry? When he looked at Zhu Di, there was a lingering haze in his eyes. He was indeed afraid. He didn't know what King Yan would do, but he knew that with such an opportunity, King Yan will never let it go!
Naturally, this time it was not the magistrate's turn to sit on the court, he could only sit on one side, opposite him were Zhu Di and Lu Changting.
And the one sitting in the courtroom was replaced by the inspector and secretary.
This man, surnamed Liu, is an old man over half a century old, with an old face.
Lu Changting only took a look at him, and knew that the county magistrate might not be able to please him.
why?
What do you rely on in the officialdom?Only by relying on human feelings and sophistication can one advance step by step.At this age, he looks like he is working hard, but he is only a fifth-rank official. It can be seen that his promotion speed can't match his face, which also shows that he is not very flexible in the officialdom, that's all. It doesn't matter who you are, if you are guilty, you will be convicted, there is no room for sympathy!
How wonderful!
How nice it is!
Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Changting listened to Cheng Er's ear and said, "This incident about Liu Qian is very irritating. If the county magistrate wants to escape, it may not be easy..." Cheng Er's voice was obviously full of gloating the taste of.
The corner of Lu Changting's mouth curled slightly, it seemed that he had hit the mark.
While smiling, Lu Changting was suddenly pulled by Zhu Di, and then Zhu Di put his big hand on Lu Changting's shoulder and sat him down.
Lu Changting turned his head and looked at Zhu Di: "Will this be against the rules?"
Zhu Di shook his head.
And other people did not have any objection to this, of course the county magistrate was not among them.
The county magistrate glanced at Lu Changting and snorted softly, obviously he looked down on Lu Changting extremely.
Lu Changting doesn't care if he looks up to him or not, and he is not the one who is unlucky right now.
Soon, the Li family was also invited to the county government.
Since today's case is related to the county magistrate, it is natural that the common people are forbidden to watch, but Zhu Di didn't move his finger to trick the county magistrate again.
When the Li family entered the hall, the county magistrate still couldn't let go of his mind, and kept sweeping outside, because he was really afraid of what happened last time, when the people crowded outside the court.
Although he lost face last time, in any case, it was not as terrible as this time.
Lu Changting also noticed the action of the magistrate, seeing him looking out frequently, Lu Changting couldn't help but want to laugh, did he have a psychological shadow?
After the Li family came in, they found that the county magistrate didn't even look at them, which made them even more angry. The magistrate's wife couldn't help but scolded in the court: "Things without conscience!"
The magistrate's face was a little ugly, but because there were so many people present, not to mention that it was his wife who scolded him, if he answered, wouldn't there be a quarrel below?By that time, he really lost all face and face!
The county magistrate suffocated so tightly that he did not speak for himself.
The Li family glanced at the people sitting in the courtroom, and then at King Yan at the side, then restrained themselves a little, and hurriedly greeted Zhu Di.
Zhu Di didn't even look at them, and he didn't even answer. The Li family didn't care, after all, this is the prince!It's perfectly normal to look down on them.
Soon, Liu Qianshi began to question them.
First, I asked about the relationship between Mr. Li and the county magistrate, and then asked why Mr. Li went to the pier, and then asked Mr. Li to explain how he died...
After such a series of questions, either Mr. Li died in an accident, or died at the hands of the county magistrate.
The county magistrate wanted to pin the result on the accident, but the Li family felt that their son was not that stupid, and that if he would fall into the water and die, it must have something to do with the county magistrate.
The Li family spoke with emotion, and naturally they couldn't hold it back as they went to the back. The magistrate's face was dull, and finally couldn't help but start to fight back. No one would lose.
And at this time, Lu Changting also interrupted slowly: "There is something, I wonder if I should report it to my lord?"
Liu Qianshi opened his mouth and wanted to reprimand Lu Changting for speaking quickly, but when his eyes touched Zhu Di who was on the side, Liu Qianshi held back and had to try his best to slow down his tone and asked, "What's the matter? .”
"I played with the prince at the pier a few days ago..." When he said this, Lu Changting keenly noticed that their expressions became a little weird.
Also, going to the pier to play, this hobby is really quite different.
"I accidentally discovered that the feng shui of the pier was different. Someone moved the earth and rocks, causing the mast to shake, and the boat was still shaking after being loaded. Afterwards, I asked the boatmen there, and they confirmed that during this period, some boatmen did fall. If you go down, you will almost lose your life..."
"In your opinion, this is caused by Feng Shui?" Liu Qianshi frowned and looked over.
The rest of the people also looked at Lu Changting.
Nazhixian was already frightened by the side.
What does Lu Changting mean by this?If it is because of Feng Shui, wouldn't it be exonerated for him?Could it be that this is King Yan's plan to win him over?Or maybe this Lu Changting has other thoughts?
The county magistrate was uncertain for a while, and felt uncomfortable.
And this matter about Liu Qian couldn't help but said: "Absurd! How can it be determined by Feng Shui!"
Lu Changting said lightly: "If Liu Qian does not believe my words, you can call the person from the Yin Yang School of the county government and let him go and have a look. His words are naturally much more credible than mine."
After Liu Qianshi said what he said just now, he felt a little regretful. He felt that his tone was indeed too strong.He carefully looked at King Yan, and softly said: "Then let people who study Yin-Yang go and have a look."
After all, Liu Qian sent someone to find someone who studied Yin and Yang.
The middle-aged man of Yin-Yang School stepped forward to take his order, and walked out without looking sideways.
The county magistrate took a look at him, and always felt that there seemed to be some changes in this person, but if he thought about it carefully, what changes could there be?It should just look cleaner, not as messy as before.
After he left, the Li family quit.
"Death due to Feng Shui... is indeed absurd..." Madam Zhixian curled her lips, and said, "Didn't this let the murderer go, and push it on purpose?"
Lu Changting didn't even look at her, but said in a cold tone, "I just use Fengshui to observe different places, why did Fengshui come into being? One is natural, the other is man-made, and right now it is man-made. , is the murderer. Where did I push Feng Shui on purpose?"
Mrs. Nazhi County blushed slightly and was speechless for a while.
The magistrate secretly thought beside him, this Lu Changting's mouth is still so sharp!But after the secret passage, the magistrate himself couldn't help sweating in his vest.
This Lu Changting... what is his plan?
……
Cheng Er knew that Lu Changting had taught the man who studied Yin and Yang a lesson last time, and he cooperated with them extraordinarily afterwards. Cheng Er originally wanted to tease the man with Lu Changting, but he turned his head and saw that Lu Changting and Zhu Di were sitting together. In one place, if he wants to speak, he has to bend down...
Cheng Er had to give up.
He gave up talking to Lu Changting, but Zhu Di didn't give up. Zhu Di also remembered this man. After all, this man once rode in the carriage of the palace, was forced to tremble by Lu Changting, and finally came to his senses.
"What's that man's name?" Zhu Di asked.
Lu Changting was taken aback: "I don't know either." Although Lu Changting had dealt with that man before, Lu Changting served him with sticks and sweet dates, but he really didn't ask the man's name, and it happened that Zhu Di asked at this time From now on, Lu Changting thought, and say hello later.
Men who study Yin and Yang go quickly and come back quickly.
Zhixian's heart sank.
The last time he went to Fuzhi's shop, he took a look and came back. He said that there was no feng shui pattern, which shows that his ability is indeed not high. If he came back this time and said that there was no feng shui difference, what should he do?Feng Shui has become nonsense, so the suspicion on him has also expanded.
Zhixian felt a little anxious in his heart.
He finally got a taste of what it was like to shoot a rock at his own foot.
If he had known about today, he would have taught this yin and yang practitioner to learn Feng Shui, and he would not speak indiscriminately in the future!
Liu Qianshi called the man forward and asked, "You went to the pier to see, but is it true that Feng Shui is different from what he said?"
The man shivered unconsciously when he looked at Cheng Er, and even twitched slightly.
Everyone has a smell, and the man may have smelled blood from Cheng Er's body, which made him look like this in fright.
Cheng Er slashed the knife on the back of the man's hand expressionlessly, and the man whimpered louder in pain, but he didn't dare to struggle, for fear that he would accidentally bump into the tip of the knife.
Blood snaked down from the back of his hand, Cheng Er slowly withdrew his hand, and tore off the cloth from his mouth.
The man kept trembling, and said in his mouth: "I...I...What do you want to ask? I, I will explain...I will say..."
Cheng Er sneered: "Have you forgotten who you are in front of now?"
The man raised his head carefully, facing Zhu Di's face, he became even more terrified, and while trembling, he changed his words and said: "King Yan, villain...it's the villain who is so helpless, I beg His Highness King Yan to spare the little boy people……"
Of course, Zhu Di didn't need to work hard to deal with such a small person. Zhu Di didn't speak from the beginning to the end, so Lu Changting followed suit and stopped talking.
Cheng Er snorted coldly: "Don't talk nonsense again! Tell me clearly, what's the matter with the hollowed out foundation? What do you want to do? How did you do it? Do you know what consequences this will cause?" When it came to the last sentence, it was pure anger.
This is why Cheng Er is not angry, such a selfish and reckless idiot, it is the most convenient to kill him with one knife!
Lu Changting and Zhu Di were not much better either, they gave the man a disgusted look, and waited for the man to continue talking.
The man swallowed, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense, and honestly explained his purpose.This is really not what Lu Changting expected, the man's idea was to create gold from Shui Sheng,
"Who told you this method?" Lu Changting asked coldly.
The man lowered his head and said falteringly: "I... I figured it out myself."
"Based on the level you have figured out, you dare to use it! You can't even hire a serious Feng Shui master, no wonder you have no financial luck! You are so poor!" After finishing speaking, Lu Changting immediately corrected: "Oh, that's not right. , you can’t wait until you are poor, you killed Mr. Li’s family, you can die now!”
The man trembled violently, and he didn't even dare to meet Lu Changting's eyes: "...No, I don't want to die! No...I didn't do anything, I really didn't expect such consequences, please forgive me Come on, no, spare the villain! The villain will never dare again! There will never be any more!"
Lu Changting really didn't like his appearance. The man lowered his head and didn't dare to lift it because he was afraid of revealing the hatred in his eyes, right?
"How did you do it?" Cheng Er kicked him on the waist with such force that the man screamed in pain, as if killing a pig.
The man was sweating profusely from the pain, and finally spoke out tremblingly.
If you want to move the foundation and dig up the earth and rocks, then of course you have to start construction, and you need workers, not to mention a dozen or so workers, but a few workers are always needed. When a few workers enter the water, they fiddle with digging holes in the water. Can people who stay at the pier all year round not notice?Therefore, to be able to dig the foundation like this quietly, this man must have special means to achieve it.
The man gritted his teeth, but in the end the fear of death prevailed, and he said in a deep voice, "Yes...it's the county magistrate..."
magistrate?
Lu Changting was a little surprised, why did he happen to have something to do with him?
Dao Yan nodded and said, "Interesting."
The man explained the process in detail.
It turned out that he spread the news around the city, saying that the pier was old and should be repaired. The county magistrate accepted his money, so naturally he readily agreed, and then contracted the pier project to him. Craftsmen, and servants who mingled with their own homes, began the process of digging the foundation.
The county magistrate didn't know what the man was going to do, he only knew that the man insisted on repairing the pier, and he wasn't the one who spent money, so the county magistrate let the man go.
The people in the city and the county magistrate didn't know that the pier, which was originally good, was turned into worse by men than it was in disrepair.
It is precisely because of the official name of the county government that this man can achieve his goal so smoothly, and the people have never doubted him. Up to now, the people on the pier are just water ghosts. It never occurred to me that this was someone making trouble behind the scenes.
Lu Changting couldn't bear it any longer, and scolded in a cold tone: "You're willing to spend money to bribe the county magistrate, but you're reluctant to spend money to hire a serious Feng Shui master! You're so stupid, no wonder the business is not doing well!"
It can be said that every sentence of these words stepped on the man's sore feet, he was trembling with anger, but he didn't dare to look up at Lu Changting, he was really cowardly to the extreme.
"Are you sure the magistrate nodded?" Dao Yan asked.
"Yes, it was the money collected by the master next to the county magistrate. Later, the county government came to say that this matter was left to the villain. At that time, many people knew about it!"
At this time, the master has not yet become official, which means that there is no such position as a master in the yamen, he is only hired by the county magistrate privately.
Lu Changting couldn't help raising his eyebrows lightly. Doesn't that mean that this master can fully represent the magistrate's face in his actions?After all, this was privately hired by the county magistrate!
Thinking of this, Lu Changting couldn't help turning his head to look at Dao Yan. At this time, Dao Yan's eyes had fainted with a little smile.
Lu Changting knew that Dao Yan was going to set this trap a little deeper for the county magistrate.
If a maid can't prove anything, then this man can prove that the digging of the foundation was aimed at Mr. Li from the very beginning, in order to make it become the burial place of Mr. Li without anyone noticing...
The magistrate's luck is really not very good!
This happened to happen to them!
Dao Yan and Zhu Di looked at each other, and then asked the man aloud: "There is still a road ahead of you now, you can not be charged..." Dao Yan's tone was calm and indifferent, but for a person in a desperate situation Full of temptation.
"What, what?" the man trembled.In fact, he also knows, how can there be such a good thing as a pie in the sky?Generally, what falls is poisonous.
"I testify that the magistrate has completed the deal with you, and ordered you to dig out the foundation."
The man trembled even more, and now he also realized that he had fallen into the struggle between the big fish.
But to save my life...
The man looked down at the back of his hand, the blood on it was so dazzling and shocking.
He doesn't want to die!
The man gritted his teeth and said, "What should I do?" After that, he suddenly raised his head and looked over expectantly, but when he saw Dao Yan's face, the man flinched unconsciously.
terrible!
This person's facial features actually made him think of evil and horror at first glance!
As if he didn't notice the man's gaze, Dao Yan talked to the man about how to deal with it at that time.
On the other hand, Lu Changting was a little unhappy.
Although he used to look at Dao Yan's face in this way, but now the relationship between him and Dao Yan is different from the past, so naturally there is a certain bias in his heart.The man's gaze just made Lu Changting feel uncomfortable and made him feel that it was an offense to Dao Yan.
Dao Yan seemed to be aware of it, and when he was talking to the man, he turned his head to look at Lu Changting.
Lu Changting looked back.
Dao Yan smiled and looked away.
Zhu Di on the side was very dissatisfied with the two people's flirting, so he secretly reached out and pinched Lu Changting's waist. Lu Changting's waist felt itchy, he twisted his waist uncomfortably, and turned his head to stare at Zhu Di.
Zhu Di felt refreshed by this stare.
The pure Cheng Er didn't even notice the atmosphere in the air.
"... Got it?" Dao Yan finally said the conclusion.
The man nodded cautiously: "I understand." But in fact, the man's heart is completely lost at this moment.
What is the identity of the county magistrate?A parent officer!What is his identity?What an unrefined little businessman!No power, no status!He can be crushed to death with the movement of a finger!But what can he do now?Standing in front of him was King Yan, who was even more powerful and powerful. He didn't even need to move a finger if he wanted him to die.
Various thoughts flashed through the man's mind, and finally he strengthened his belief in the bottom of his heart.
To survive...
What about the county magistrate?If the county magistrate is really overthrown this time, King Yan's prestige in Beiping will become higher and higher in the future, and he has done something for King Yan at least, so he will always be able to gain glory by then.
Put it to death and then live again, it's right in front of you!
The man swore to Zhu Di that he would do what he was told...
They really disliked the man's face, now that they have asked clearly and explained clearly, they naturally drove him out directly.
Lu Changting was a little curious: "Don't you need to send someone to follow him?"
Zhu Di smiled lightly and said, "Why waste manpower?" As he spoke, Zhu Di stroked Lu Changting's hair carelessly.
From the corner of Dao Yan's eyes, he noticed Zhu Di's movements, and he couldn't help but twitch his eyelids, explaining: "If he doesn't go to inform the county magistrate, it's good, but if he does, it's okay, and it will only increase the magistrate's burden." It's just fear, and no one will believe it if you tell it, the majestic King Yan, is it worthwhile to intentionally frame a county magistrate?"
Dao Yan can say these words, that is extremely confident.
Lu Changting has to say, he just likes this style of acting!It's no fun to be timid and hesitant to move forward. If you are confident and open-minded, that's true courage!
Zhu Di caught a glimpse of the admiration in Lu Changting's eyes, and frowned indistinctly.
"Is Master Daoyan staying in the palace today?" Lu Changting asked unconsciously.
Before Daoyan could open his mouth, Zhu Di was the first to say: "It's getting late, I'm staying in the palace." After finishing speaking, Zhu Di said to Cheng Er: "Take Daoyan to rest, and Changting and I will leave first."
Because Dao Yan often came to the palace, sometimes the servant girl took him to the house, and sometimes he didn't even need someone to lead him there...but today Zhu Di threw him to Cheng Er.
That Cheng Er is also sincere, and he took Dao Yan to the inverted room in the outer courtyard, which is separated from the inner courtyard by two doors, and the courtyard where Lu Changting lives is separated by more than one door .
Dao Yan also noticed Zhu Di's intentions, and after stepping into the inverted room, Cheng Er heard him chuckle inexplicably.
Cheng Er looked at Dao Yan suspiciously: "Mr. Dao Yan, what's wrong?"
Dao Yan shook his head and waved his hand.
The door of the house was closed in Cheng Er's sight.
Cheng Er shook his head.Monk Daoyan's mind is really elusive!
----
Mr. Li's family quickly arrived in Beiping, and the magistrate's wife also had another face-off with the magistrate. The magistrate's face was torn off and trampled on the ground. It's almost impossible to operate normally. The magistrate is not in a good mood. Can others please?No one can please!
After Mr. Li's family members arrived, they naturally also heard the rumors that were raging.Since the magistrate and Mr. Li did have a history of discord, Mrs. Li didn't care about that much, and directly decided that it was the magistrate's fault, and immediately sued the magistrate.
Who should take care of the county magistrate's crime?
Mention punishment according to the procuratorate.
According to the procuratorial division, which is in charge of criminal names and litigation affairs below the prison sentence, it belongs to the provincial judicial department. Of course, those above the prison sentence have to be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment.
According to the Ming Law at that time, even if the county magistrate committed murder, it was unlikely that he would be sentenced to death.
There are two ways to reduce the crimes of officials in the Ming Dynasty. One is that in the interrogation stage, all officials who commit crimes will be interrogated and punished by the emperor, so that criminal officials below the sixth rank and outsiders have a chance to be exonerated, while those above the sixth rank and Beijing officials There are two chances for exoneration; and the other time is during the execution stage. Although the Ming Law stipulates that public crimes, those who should be flogged can make atonement.But in the early Ming Dynasty, there was a rule called "Three crimes are like the law", which means that only three or four crimes will be punished according to the law.
It can be seen that officials have great privileges.
Only those who were really unlucky and directly offended Emperor Hongwu would be quick to convict and kill you quickly.
Those who were dragged directly from the court hall to be spanked and executed with the cane are really everywhere.
……
In short, the magistrate is unlikely to pay the price with his life for this. Although the master of the Li family is the chief secretary, he is indeed not easy to provoke, but his position is not high after all, and it is still difficult to kill the magistrate.
Therefore, the magistrate's matter can't go to the Ministry of punishment, but can go to the inspector department.
After checking the facts, he went up to the emperor.
However, Beiping is remote, but it is only a small magistrate, how could the emperor care about you?Although everyone below the sixth-rank official can have a chance to be exempted from liability, but this opportunity was given by the emperor. The emperor doesn't care about you and is unwilling to give it to you, so naturally it will disappear.
Basically, as long as it is set by the Procuratorate, it will not be changed.Doesn't the emperor have to listen to the opinions of the people below?He has no likes or dislikes towards the county magistrate, and he doesn't remember what he looks like, so he will naturally listen to the opinion of the inspector.
After Lu Changting thought about the joint, he became a little curious about Zhu Di and Dao Yan's ideas.
"If he can't die, then what kind of punishment should be given?" If it is light, it is useless, but it will infuriate the enemy and promote them to become stronger.
With an attitude of mastering the overall situation, Zhu Di said calmly: "Changting, have you ever heard of the rules of dealing with crimes?"
Lu Changting suddenly realized.
This was very common during the Hongwu period.
Because too many people died in the Hu Lan case in the early days, and many people died in order to eliminate corrupt officials. In the Ming Dynasty, there was even a situation where no officials were available, so when officials committed crimes later, they had to be blamed. The rules of doing things, if you commit a crime, I will convict you, but you will not be punished immediately, but you must first wear the crime to do things. If you continue to work hard, I will not give you money.
For officials, nothing is worse than death.
Moreover, even if an official who has committed a crime is not dismissed for a while, he still sits in that position, but he cannot be the same as before.
This is a typical case of unlucky people who have worked hard, but still can't get a good end.
"Fourth brother is planning to convict the county magistrate in this way?" Lu Changting asked.
Zhu Di nodded: "Death is cheap for him."
Dare to offend King Yan, it is indeed easy for him to die.
"In two days, the inspectors will come to Beiping." Zhu Di said lightly.
Then it will be lively.
Lu Changting felt that he could already foresee how Nazhi County would look ugly, or panicked and extremely angry.
Zhu Di raised his hand and patted the top of Lu Changting's head: "Just wait."
There was a rare lightness in his tone.
This calm performance made Lu Changting feel extremely charming.
In fact, from the very beginning, Zhu Di didn't take these little guys to heart, because he knew from the very beginning that one day he would get rid of all these people without much effort.
Lu Changting didn't think he had made much contribution. After all, Zhu Di still had Dao Yan by his side. Even without him, Zhu Di could still take down these people.Lu Changting is very lucky, but fortunately, he can still help out now, saving Zhu Di some time.
Lu Changting didn't notice that when he looked at Zhu Di, his eyes gradually showed some admiration and appreciation. This kind of gaze was extremely useful to Zhu Di. With such a comparison, Lu Changting said to him that day. Yan's admiration was nothing, and Zhu Di even felt that it was obvious that when Chang Ting looked at him, his eyes were softer and more appreciative.
Zhu Di was immediately satisfied.
"Are you feeling tired today? Do you want to rest?" Zhu Di asked aloud.
Lu Changting nodded, and looked at Zhu Di suspiciously.
He feels that Zhu Di has become very strange recently, and now he can be sure that this is not an illusion, but is indeed the case.
"Fourth brother...will you still be with me today?" Lu Changting asked hesitantly.
"En." Zhu Di answered very naturally, even in a natural tone. Lu Changting carefully scrutinized his facial expressions, and naturally found nothing in the end.
Lu Changting frowned indistinctly, and finally went to wash and rest with Zhu Di.
This autumn day is getting colder and colder, Lu Changting can breathe out white breath, he tightens the quilt tightly, trying to plug the gap between his and Zhu Di's shoulders, when he pulls the quilt, Zhu Di suddenly falls on his body Come, wrap him in your arms, although I have to say, it's still quite warm.
"Go to sleep." Zhu Di's deep voice sounded in his ears, as if with magical power, Lu Changting really closed his eyes unconsciously.
Before falling asleep, Lu Changting thought in a daze... Has Zhu Di become more attractive?In future generations, she will be able to flirt with girls...
----
Three days later, the inspectors really arrived in Peiping.
And during this period of time, Lu Changting did not see Mrs. Gong again. Obviously, Mrs. Gong was shaken by his words again. Once the internal conflicts in the Gong family arose, naturally there was no way to find Lu Changting and Zhu Di, but Lu Changting knew very well that Gong Qian couldn't bear it for long.
The things he seized by improper means before will of course bring about bad chain effects.
How much he got, how much he has to spit out now...
Heaven is very fair.
Putting the matter of Gong Qian aside for now, Lu Changting is going to go out with Zhu Di.
As the feudal lord of Beiping territory, Zhu Di naturally should show his face.
It's just that he is a prince, and those who are in charge of inspectors will naturally not be received by the prince. Only these people have the reason to welcome Zhu Di.Because their carriage was heading directly towards the county government office, it was naturally visible in the court.As soon as the inspectors at the other end heard that King Yan had come out of the palace, he was bound to go to the county government office. How dare they delay with Qiao?Everyone can't wait to spread their hoofs and run to the county government office, making sure to arrive before King Yan.
Zhu Di took Lu Changting slowly in the carriage.
Even if he didn't meet the inspectors, Zhu Di could guess what they looked like at this time, they should be in a hurry, and no one dared to be slighted.
Zhu Di laughed and said: "If it were the past, these people would definitely not treat me like this. There are quite a few princes and princes, who is more valuable than whom?"
He said all the valuable things, which shows how disgusted Zhu Di is for this.
"It's just being an adult, confiscating the land, and leading the soldiers, which makes people look up." Zhu Di said lightly, without the slightest negative emotion in his tone, as if he was really just stating the facts generally.
Lu Changting's fingers curled up unconsciously.
In fact, he felt that what Zhu Di said to him at this moment was a little too close, and he completely opened himself up.
Lu Changting didn't speak for a while.
Zhu Di didn't care at all whether he said something or not, anyway, if he said it himself, it would be fine if Lu Changting heard it.
After quite a while, Lu Changting suddenly stretched out his hand, imitating Zhu Di's favorite movements, and patted the back of Zhu Di's hand reassuringly.
Zhu Di also stretched out his hand, and with his long arms around, he easily pulled Lu Changting into his arms, and said, "The carriage is bumpy, let's rest on it for a while." As he spoke, Lu Changting fell down naturally in his hands. In his arms, Lu Changting naturally became a head shorter. Naturally, Lu Changting couldn't see the flashing smile on Zhu Di's face, it was so strong.
On the other side, according to the inspector's department and his party, they hurried to the county government office.
The county government was in a state of chaos... The petty officials couldn't help trembling when they walked, for fear that something was not done well enough and something went wrong, which would cause displeasure to the superiors.
Not long after, the carriage of King Yan's Mansion stopped outside the county government office, and the Zaoli outside the county government office saw it at a glance, and Dang even turned around and ran all the way to call the county magistrate.
"The King of Yan has arrived! The King of Yan has arrived!"
The sound elicited a very different reaction.
Zhixian seemed calm and even smiled, but only he knew how angry and hated he was.
But the people in charge of inspectors are really happy from the bottom of their hearts.
After all, this is a prince!
It happened to be here at this time, and it was not in vain for them to rush all the way.
At this time, the county magistrate said indifferently: "There is an extremely difficult person beside His Highness King Yan."
According to the procuratorate, it seems that he has never heard of it.
At this juncture, you still want to speak ill of others!
The Procuratorate looked back at the magistrate, with a bit of contempt in his eyes.In the past, Zhixian would not be like this. It is precisely because the events of the past few days have really annoyed him that Zhixian is so restless.
He never thought that there would be a day when he would be knocked down, so when that day came, he was so at a loss.
Because King Yan wanted to come in, they didn't even dare to sit down, so they could only stand there and wait.
After a while, they heard footsteps, and everyone looked up in unison.
The leader is wearing a red uniform and a winged crown, looking extremely handsome!And behind him, there was a young man with extremely exquisite facial features. The young man had good-looking features, but he exuded an extremely cold and arrogant aura. Then he looked at the young men, eunuchs, and soldiers of the palace... No one can surpass the demeanor of the first two.
"I have seen His Royal Highness King Yan!" Everyone looked away and bowed in unison.
Lu Changting turned his head and glanced carefully at Zhu Di. At this time, Zhu Di's aura was naturally different. In front of these officials, Zhu Di had a strong royal aura, and he was very noble.
No matter where it is, it has always been like this.You are strong and he is weak, and you are weak and he is strong.
If they were majestic princes, if they had to face them with an approachable face, it would only make them despise them from the bottom of their hearts.
At this moment, when the officials in front of them met Zhu Di's pale face, their hearts trembled unconsciously, and they lowered their heads not daring to look any further.
"Let's start." Zhu Di said out loud.
"What's the start?" The inspector asked in a dazed voice.
The person next to him slapped him on the back: "Of course the investigation is started!"
The stupefied green muttered to himself, so quickly...
With Zhu Di watching from the side, of course hurry up!
Zhu Di knew very well that these people had to be fast.
The face of Nazhi County was extremely ugly, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "You have no right to interrogate."
The inspector shook his head: "Of course we don't dare to interrogate, but we have to investigate this matter. The county magistrate doesn't have to worry. If it has nothing to do with the county magistrate, we will simply investigate and interrogate this case." That is, they are targeting cases, not people.
But how can Zhixian really not worry? When he looked at Zhu Di, there was a lingering haze in his eyes. He was indeed afraid. He didn't know what King Yan would do, but he knew that with such an opportunity, King Yan will never let it go!
Naturally, this time it was not the magistrate's turn to sit on the court, he could only sit on one side, opposite him were Zhu Di and Lu Changting.
And the one sitting in the courtroom was replaced by the inspector and secretary.
This man, surnamed Liu, is an old man over half a century old, with an old face.
Lu Changting only took a look at him, and knew that the county magistrate might not be able to please him.
why?
What do you rely on in the officialdom?Only by relying on human feelings and sophistication can one advance step by step.At this age, he looks like he is working hard, but he is only a fifth-rank official. It can be seen that his promotion speed can't match his face, which also shows that he is not very flexible in the officialdom, that's all. It doesn't matter who you are, if you are guilty, you will be convicted, there is no room for sympathy!
How wonderful!
How nice it is!
Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Changting listened to Cheng Er's ear and said, "This incident about Liu Qian is very irritating. If the county magistrate wants to escape, it may not be easy..." Cheng Er's voice was obviously full of gloating the taste of.
The corner of Lu Changting's mouth curled slightly, it seemed that he had hit the mark.
While smiling, Lu Changting was suddenly pulled by Zhu Di, and then Zhu Di put his big hand on Lu Changting's shoulder and sat him down.
Lu Changting turned his head and looked at Zhu Di: "Will this be against the rules?"
Zhu Di shook his head.
And other people did not have any objection to this, of course the county magistrate was not among them.
The county magistrate glanced at Lu Changting and snorted softly, obviously he looked down on Lu Changting extremely.
Lu Changting doesn't care if he looks up to him or not, and he is not the one who is unlucky right now.
Soon, the Li family was also invited to the county government.
Since today's case is related to the county magistrate, it is natural that the common people are forbidden to watch, but Zhu Di didn't move his finger to trick the county magistrate again.
When the Li family entered the hall, the county magistrate still couldn't let go of his mind, and kept sweeping outside, because he was really afraid of what happened last time, when the people crowded outside the court.
Although he lost face last time, in any case, it was not as terrible as this time.
Lu Changting also noticed the action of the magistrate, seeing him looking out frequently, Lu Changting couldn't help but want to laugh, did he have a psychological shadow?
After the Li family came in, they found that the county magistrate didn't even look at them, which made them even more angry. The magistrate's wife couldn't help but scolded in the court: "Things without conscience!"
The magistrate's face was a little ugly, but because there were so many people present, not to mention that it was his wife who scolded him, if he answered, wouldn't there be a quarrel below?By that time, he really lost all face and face!
The county magistrate suffocated so tightly that he did not speak for himself.
The Li family glanced at the people sitting in the courtroom, and then at King Yan at the side, then restrained themselves a little, and hurriedly greeted Zhu Di.
Zhu Di didn't even look at them, and he didn't even answer. The Li family didn't care, after all, this is the prince!It's perfectly normal to look down on them.
Soon, Liu Qianshi began to question them.
First, I asked about the relationship between Mr. Li and the county magistrate, and then asked why Mr. Li went to the pier, and then asked Mr. Li to explain how he died...
After such a series of questions, either Mr. Li died in an accident, or died at the hands of the county magistrate.
The county magistrate wanted to pin the result on the accident, but the Li family felt that their son was not that stupid, and that if he would fall into the water and die, it must have something to do with the county magistrate.
The Li family spoke with emotion, and naturally they couldn't hold it back as they went to the back. The magistrate's face was dull, and finally couldn't help but start to fight back. No one would lose.
And at this time, Lu Changting also interrupted slowly: "There is something, I wonder if I should report it to my lord?"
Liu Qianshi opened his mouth and wanted to reprimand Lu Changting for speaking quickly, but when his eyes touched Zhu Di who was on the side, Liu Qianshi held back and had to try his best to slow down his tone and asked, "What's the matter? .”
"I played with the prince at the pier a few days ago..." When he said this, Lu Changting keenly noticed that their expressions became a little weird.
Also, going to the pier to play, this hobby is really quite different.
"I accidentally discovered that the feng shui of the pier was different. Someone moved the earth and rocks, causing the mast to shake, and the boat was still shaking after being loaded. Afterwards, I asked the boatmen there, and they confirmed that during this period, some boatmen did fall. If you go down, you will almost lose your life..."
"In your opinion, this is caused by Feng Shui?" Liu Qianshi frowned and looked over.
The rest of the people also looked at Lu Changting.
Nazhixian was already frightened by the side.
What does Lu Changting mean by this?If it is because of Feng Shui, wouldn't it be exonerated for him?Could it be that this is King Yan's plan to win him over?Or maybe this Lu Changting has other thoughts?
The county magistrate was uncertain for a while, and felt uncomfortable.
And this matter about Liu Qian couldn't help but said: "Absurd! How can it be determined by Feng Shui!"
Lu Changting said lightly: "If Liu Qian does not believe my words, you can call the person from the Yin Yang School of the county government and let him go and have a look. His words are naturally much more credible than mine."
After Liu Qianshi said what he said just now, he felt a little regretful. He felt that his tone was indeed too strong.He carefully looked at King Yan, and softly said: "Then let people who study Yin-Yang go and have a look."
After all, Liu Qian sent someone to find someone who studied Yin and Yang.
The middle-aged man of Yin-Yang School stepped forward to take his order, and walked out without looking sideways.
The county magistrate took a look at him, and always felt that there seemed to be some changes in this person, but if he thought about it carefully, what changes could there be?It should just look cleaner, not as messy as before.
After he left, the Li family quit.
"Death due to Feng Shui... is indeed absurd..." Madam Zhixian curled her lips, and said, "Didn't this let the murderer go, and push it on purpose?"
Lu Changting didn't even look at her, but said in a cold tone, "I just use Fengshui to observe different places, why did Fengshui come into being? One is natural, the other is man-made, and right now it is man-made. , is the murderer. Where did I push Feng Shui on purpose?"
Mrs. Nazhi County blushed slightly and was speechless for a while.
The magistrate secretly thought beside him, this Lu Changting's mouth is still so sharp!But after the secret passage, the magistrate himself couldn't help sweating in his vest.
This Lu Changting... what is his plan?
……
Cheng Er knew that Lu Changting had taught the man who studied Yin and Yang a lesson last time, and he cooperated with them extraordinarily afterwards. Cheng Er originally wanted to tease the man with Lu Changting, but he turned his head and saw that Lu Changting and Zhu Di were sitting together. In one place, if he wants to speak, he has to bend down...
Cheng Er had to give up.
He gave up talking to Lu Changting, but Zhu Di didn't give up. Zhu Di also remembered this man. After all, this man once rode in the carriage of the palace, was forced to tremble by Lu Changting, and finally came to his senses.
"What's that man's name?" Zhu Di asked.
Lu Changting was taken aback: "I don't know either." Although Lu Changting had dealt with that man before, Lu Changting served him with sticks and sweet dates, but he really didn't ask the man's name, and it happened that Zhu Di asked at this time From now on, Lu Changting thought, and say hello later.
Men who study Yin and Yang go quickly and come back quickly.
Zhixian's heart sank.
The last time he went to Fuzhi's shop, he took a look and came back. He said that there was no feng shui pattern, which shows that his ability is indeed not high. If he came back this time and said that there was no feng shui difference, what should he do?Feng Shui has become nonsense, so the suspicion on him has also expanded.
Zhixian felt a little anxious in his heart.
He finally got a taste of what it was like to shoot a rock at his own foot.
If he had known about today, he would have taught this yin and yang practitioner to learn Feng Shui, and he would not speak indiscriminately in the future!
Liu Qianshi called the man forward and asked, "You went to the pier to see, but is it true that Feng Shui is different from what he said?"
