Innocent cast of white iron

Chapter 26 2 Convicted

When he returned to the mansion, Liu Changqing was waiting at the door early. When he saw him get off his horse, he immediately reached out to support him and said, "I must be tired after traveling for so long. I have asked someone to prepare hot water, and I will go later." Take a bath and rest."

"Yeah." Zhao Qi nodded and said, "Okay, there's still a lot to do for you, go get busy first."

When he came back, he didn't see Luo Qingzhou. Zhao Qi thought he was asleep and hadn't woken up yet, but he was thrown into his arms as soon as he entered the door.Na Luo Qingzhou climbed onto his shoulder softly and bonelessly, and blew into his ear, "Your Excellency is back, you know I'm sleepless, I've been waiting for you all night~"

Zhao Qi put his arms around his waist casually, and said with a smile, "Don't make trouble, I ran around for a long time yesterday and didn't have time to wash it, it smells very bad."

Luo Qingzhou bent her eyes and said, "The water is ready, let me rub your back for you."

"Yeah." Zhao Qi nodded, just missing a back rub.

When Luo Qingzhou saw that he agreed, the gleam in his eyes was very attractive.He stretched out his hand and slowly untied Zhao Qi's belt, and helped him take off his coat.

Luo Qingzhou's hands are very light, and his movements are also nimble and quick. After a while, he took off Zhao Qi's clothes and put them aside.Zhao Qi stepped into the bathtub, and the warm water slowly soaked his whole body, which was naturally refreshing.After working hard for several days, only then can I completely relax.

"It hurts here, right?"

With Zhao Qi's eyes closed, he could feel Luo Qingzhou gently rubbing his hands on his back, where there was a hideous scar extending from his shoulder to his waist.

Zhao Qi didn't speak, and let him move.

Luo Qingzhou looked at the horrific scar and wondered who hurt him so short of eyes.Touching it with his fingers unconsciously, he asked softly, "Do you often suffer from such injuries?"

Zhao Qi opened his eyes, his black pupils were dark, and said, "Never again."

Luo Qingzhou smiled lightly, continued to rub his back, and said, "Today, I have seen the demeanor of an adult at the top of the city. It is really admirable."

Zhao Qi didn't speak, thinking why he didn't see him when he came back, it turned out he was going to the city.

After solving the problem of food, the housing of refugees is another problem. The houses in the city that are not flooded are full of people, but even so, there are still many people who have nowhere to live.

Liu Changqing ordered people to set up a lot of temporary tents, which managed to calm everyone down.

Within two days, the imperial government's food rescue team finally arrived in Quanzhou, and after distributing food and bedding to the refugees, they joined the water rescue army.Rescued refugees also joined the team one after another to save their homes.

Seeing that things are getting better, Liu Changqing can finally take a breath.At this time, the spies came to report that Zheng Gang's family, the magistrate of Quanzhou, had been kidnapped and they were kneeling in the yamen waiting for him to deal with it.

Hearing that Zheng Gang had been arrested, Liu Changqing let go of the big stone in his heart, and just waited to behead the dog official to vent his anger for the people!

This Zheng Gang is usually the kind of villain who seeks out people's fat and people's anointing. Quanzhou is far away from the capital and is located in a remote place.This Zheng Gang has done all kinds of evil things, not to mention corruption, accepting bribes and oppressing the people, he can do it even if he ignores human life and forces a good man to become a prostitute.

I thought no one would care about this matter, but unexpectedly a flood alarmed the imperial court, and even sent imperial envoys to control the flood, and even ordered to open warehouses to release grain.Zheng Gang felt cold in his heart, isn't this the end!There is nothing in the granary, and when the people above come, they may find out a lot of things, which one is not a loss of their heads!

After thinking for a while, Zheng Gang finally couldn't sit still, and ran away with his wife and children.In order not to encounter officers and soldiers on the way, several people even chose a remote mountain road.Unexpectedly, the mountain road was slippery, and it rained heavily not long ago. Halfway through the road, several people encountered mudslides and were almost buried alive in the mountain.

The passing officers and soldiers happened to be the ten people Liu Changqing sent to look for Zheng Gang, and they were pulled out of the mud on the spot, tied up and hurried back to Quanzhou and thrown into the yamen.

A few people reported the incident to Liu Changqing in a few words, but Zheng Gang was crying with snot and tears, begging for mercy, "My lord, please forgive me! Please forgive me, my lord!"

Liu Changqing said, "The government knows, you go down and rest first."

"Yes!"

Seeing a few people going down, Liu Changqing clapped the gavel in his hands, and said sharply, "Zheng Gang! You are guilty!"

Liu Changqing was sitting on the presiding judge's seat, with Liu Zhao who was acting as a temporary master beside him.Zhao Qi sat down to listen to the trial, and Luo Qingzhou stood behind him to watch the fun.The inside and outside of the courtroom were crowded with ordinary people who came to watch. They were oppressed and suffered in the past, but now they can see the end of this dog official. It is really exciting!

That Zheng Gang had a big belly and his face was full of oil, which showed that he was arrogant and extravagant on weekdays, but at this time he was covered in mud and looked really embarrassed.As soon as Liu Zhao heard Liu Changqing asked him if he was guilty, he quickly kowtowed and said, "The villain is guilty! The villain is guilty! Please forgive me!"

"Forgive me?!" Liu Changqing laughed back, "You have been an official for several years, but you have not cared about the people's feelings, but you have oppressed the people, corrupted and accepted bribes, and neglected people's lives! In today's disaster, you don't care about the life and death of the people, and you deserted with money! How can the government tolerate you? !"

Zheng Gang was so frightened, he hurriedly climbed to the front of the Taoist hall, crying, "My lord! My lord has wronged me! My lord, my lord dare not...all, it was all instigated by this bitch!" He kicked the woman next to him. , said, "Your Excellency is clearly aware! The villain dare not do such foolish things, it is this bitch who hinders it!"

The woman burst into tears, as if she didn't expect her husband to be so vicious.When she cried, the children around her also cried loudly.

It had already made Liu Changqing furious, but now he blamed his wife for all the crimes!Liu Changqing was so angry that he clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white, he threw the token on the table【①】on the ground, and said coldly, "Come here! Zheng Gang was an official and neglected his duties, causing the people of Quanzhou to lose their lives in vain Drag it out and stick it to death! Hang the corpse outside the city gate and expose it to the sun for three days!"

Zheng Gang's face turned pale with fright, and he fainted immediately.The women and children on the side cried loudly.The common people outside the court clapped their hands and applauded. Naturally, it is a great joy to get revenge!

Liu Changqing said again, "The death penalty of the Zheng family can avoid the life penalty! They are all demoted to slavery and sent to Western Xinjiang!"

The woman wept endlessly while hugging the child, and shouted, "Thank you sir for not killing me!"
