Hong Gui was stunned and turned around with a shocked face.
At the door, a majestic figure stepped forward.
He frowned and glanced around, and when he saw Lu Chen being knocked to the ground, his face immediately darkened.
"what happened?"
Before Hong Gui could speak, Lu Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up and pointed at Hong Gui to complain.
"Master Zhao, Hong Gui broke into the house to rob, and wanted to rob the girl!"
"nonsense!"
Hong Gui also panicked.
This Zhao Chunsheng hates evil as much as he hates it. He is always upright and is a rare good official.
If Lu Chen was really allowed to tell the truth, his purpose today would be in vain.
"shut up!"
"I didn't ask you."
Zhao Chunsheng did not give Hong Gui any face. After scolding him, he turned to Lu Chen and signaled him to continue.
"The villain owes Hong Gui ten taels of silver. Today he came to collect the debt. I had already collected enough, but he insisted on charging me twenty taels of silver plus interest."
"And he also forcibly seizes my wife and daughter. He is simply acting unscrupulously. He treats the government as nothing and does not care about the Yamen at all. Please Mr. Zhao, please capture this villain and punish him severely."
Hong Gui was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
I had never realized that Lu Chen was so eloquent before.
In a few words, he actually described himself as a heinous fanatic.
"Master Zhao, this Lu Chen talks nonsense and has a sharp tongue. Don't be fooled by him."
Before Zhao Chunsheng could speak, a voice came out.
"I testify for Lu Chen, everything he said is true!"
Everyone turned their heads and looked at Xu Youcai, the restaurant owner who came panting.
Hong Gui's expression changed again and again, and he began to think about retreating.
Because this time not only Xu Youcai came, but also a group of young men followed behind him.
They all had angry faces, staring at Hong Gui with undisguised disgust.
"We will also testify for Lu Chen!"
The young master spoke, and at this moment Hong Gui's face was ashen, and he hated Lu Chen in his heart.
When Zhao Chunsheng saw this, he immediately ordered the officials beside him: "Here comes someone!"
"exist!"
"Take Hong Gui and his party to the Yamen and convict them according to law!"
"yes!"
In this way, Hong Gui was taken away by Zhao Chunsheng's people with a face full of unwillingness, along with a group of bullies and no one was left.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your help. Lu Chen is grateful!"
Seeing that the dust had settled, Lu Chen thanked Zhao Chunsheng.
However, contrary to his expectation, there was no joy on Zhao Chunsheng's face.
"Lu Chen, this Honggui family has quite a background, so be careful!"
After saying this, Zhao Chunsheng hugged his fists and turned to leave.
"Lu Chen, are you okay?"
Xu Youcai led people in and looked at Lu Chen's embarrassed appearance with worry on his face.
"Uncle Xu, I'm fine!"
"Thank you all for speaking up. Lu Chen is grateful!"
Lu Chen hugged his fists at the young masters who came to help him, and said sincerely with gratitude.
"Where are you talking about Mr. Lu?"
"Yes, Mr. Lu is a great talent and the pride of our Jinchuan City. How could he be framed by such a treacherous villain!"
"Yes, a gentleman should not stand behind a dangerous wall. Mr. Lu should take care of himself and beware of villains trying to gain power!"
Everyone was polite and dispersed.
After all, the Lu family is simple and there is not much to entertain.
In addition, Lu Chen was injured, so they didn't stay much longer.
"Lu Chen, are you okay?"
After everyone left, Jiang Yingyue finally felt relieved.
She stepped forward and wiped the blood from the corner of Lu Chen's mouth with distressed eyes.
"I'll ask the doctor to treat you!"
With that said, he was about to go out.
However, Lu Chen grabbed him and said with a smile: "No need."
"Your husband and I are the best doctors."
This is not bragging.
As a doctor in Lu Chen's previous life, although he did not specialize in treating bruises and bruises, he was deeply affected by it and read relevant medical books.
This little injury is nothing.
After comforting his wife and daughter, Lu Chen went to the herbal medicine hall to grab some medicine. Just as he was about to go home and boil it, he saw Hong Gui walking out of the Yamen.
"Depend on!"
Lu Chen was shocked!
I couldn't help but uttered a curse word.
"It was released so quickly!"
No wonder Lu Chen was shocked.
Dafeng regulations stipulate that anyone who breaks into a house to commit murder or gather a crowd to fight must be severely punished.
It can range from being detained for a few days to being slapped with a few bullets.
The most important thing is to face imprisonment and difficulty in distribution.
This Hong Gui is so vicious, and Zhao Chunsheng personally came to arrest him, and he was released in the blink of an eye?
Lu Chen really couldn't understand this.
Immediately, he remembered what Zhao Chunsheng said to him before leaving.
"Is it possible that Hong Gui, with his profound background, is really backed by a big shot?!"
Just when Lu Chen was silent, Hong Gui's sharp eyes saw him at a glance.
He suddenly became very angry and quickly stepped forward to take action.
However, Lu Chen quickly calmed down, looked at Hong Gui's fist that was about to swing down, and spoke calmly.
"You committed a murder in broad daylight on the street. Do you know what the crime is?"
The huge fist stopped in mid-air.
Hong Gui's face was full of ferocity, looking at Lu Chen he wanted to eat him alive.
"Lu Chen, don't be proud!"
"After tonight, I will destroy your family and scatter your wife and children!"
With a harsh word, Hong Gui left angrily.
Looking at his back, Lu Chen fell into deep thought.
"It seems necessary to go to Zhao Mansion again!"
Lu Chen murmured in a low voice and walked towards Zhao Mansion.
…
"Master, Lu Chen wants to see you!"
Zhao Mansion.
Zhao Chunsheng was sitting in the study, he couldn't help but press his eyebrows, feeling a headache.
"Let him in!"
"yes!"
After going to Lu Chen's house and arresting Hong Gui, Zhao Chunsheng was in trouble.
He was even held accountable by the county magistrate for abusing his power.
Jinchuan is a small city and does not have a county magistrate.
All matters, large and small, are overseen by the county magistrate.
And the county magistrate He Zhong is a truly lazy official.
Zhao Chunsheng is responsible for all daily government affairs, and he is free and happy.
Originally, Zhao Chunsheng was also conscientious and fulfilled his duties.
Although the management of Jinchuan City is not prosperous, it is still in good order.
But today, He Zhong suddenly came to the door, claiming that he was careless in employing people and lax in enforcing the law. He wanted to deprive him of his government affairs and shut himself up to reflect on his mistakes.
Normally, He Zhong's behavior is unreasonable.
But unfortunately, Jinchuan City is high up on the mountain and far away from the emperor. In addition, there is little oil and water, so the superiors don't care at all.
As long as He Zhong reigns for one day, he will be the emperor of the entire Jinchuan City.
For this reason, Zhao Chunsheng was very helpless.
Lu Chen was kind to him, and he originally wanted to repay him.
With my position as the bookkeeper, there is basically nothing difficult to do.
But I never thought...
"well!"
"Why did Mr. Zhao sigh?"
At this time, Lu Chen had already arrived at the door.
Hearing Zhao Chunsheng sigh, he couldn't help but ask.
"Master Lu is here!"
Feeling guilty, Zhao Chunsheng looked extra polite.
He didn't blame Lu Chen, after all, repaying kindness was his bottom line.
Losing power in order to help Lu Chen was not a big deal.
In the final analysis, he is just a bookkeeper and should not have such great power.
"I came here without permission, please forgive me, Mr. Zhao!"
Lu Chen bowed his hands and apologized.
"You're welcome, Mr. Lu!"
Zhao Chunsheng had something on his mind and seemed rather perfunctory.
"Lu is confused. I wonder if I can ask Mr. Zhao for help?"
Lu Chen didn't talk around in circles and asked directly.
"What's the matter?"
Zhao Chunsheng looked up.
"Hong Gui, do you have an old relationship with the county magistrate?"
