In fact, Lao Zheng originally wanted to go there by himself, but now that Mr. Gu has a tough character, he decided to let him go.
If you go by yourself, the goal is too big.
Although Gu Chen doesn't want to go, in the workplace, how can you not listen to what your seniors say?
Alas, the hard-working laborers live a miserable life.
The Lu family was originally a farming and studying family. Although they were not rich, they were still well off and had no worries about food and clothing.
Not only did his family have a beautiful girl, but the girl's mother also gave birth to a beautiful child.
After hearing this, you should have guessed something, right?
Zhu Huan, seeing the beauty of this mother and daughter, immediately wanted to take her home by force.
Yes, you heard me right, they are indeed mother and daughter.
When the mother and daughter disobeyed, Zhu Huan resorted to force. The mother was only in her mid-thirties, and it was a good time for her charm to remain.
But she had a strong personality and couldn't bear the insult, so she was killed by a head bump.
Zhu Huan was furious, I slept with you just to give you face, but you actually dare to die?
As a result, he made many small moves to take over the Lu family's land as his own, turning the Lu family into paupers.
Of course, he didn't let Miss Lu go either.
What a beast.
Miss Lu is going to die after drinking the medicine.
Fortunately, the Lu family sent him to the hospital in time and saved his life.
After the girl woke up, her fiancé, who had a well-off family and a reputation as a scholar, wanted to break off the engagement. She broke off the engagement happily without making any fuss.
But secretly, he wrote a letter of complaint and asked other victims who were deeply oppressed by the county to send it to the capital.
He asked about the residence of a censor, and then put the letter into his home.
They were also lucky to meet Gao Yushi, who was upright and upright.
"Study is good, study is high."
Gu Chen sighed, if that girl doesn't know how to read, she can't write.
I don't know when Zhu Huan's crimes will be known to Kyoto.
But then again, literacy alone is of no use, you also need to have the courage.
This kind of thing is unspeakable for women at any time. He was very impressed that it could still be like this in ancient times.
After seeing Ms. Lu, her family members looked terrified.
Only Miss Lu looked calm and quickly wrote down the petition and confession.
Then he wrote down clearly what Zhu Huan had done, including where the moles on his body were.
Her family was left anxious and wanted to stop her but didn't dare.
"Please forgive me, sir. My family is afraid that I won't be able to get married in the future and no one will want me."
As soon as these words came out, her family members all lowered their heads. They were a girl who had a bright future.
But it was ruined by that bastard taking one more look.
Miss Lu smiled sadly, wouldn't someone want her if she didn't sue Beijing?
Will my mother survive?
Since he has no way out, he might as well fight to the death.
Even if you die, you still have to bite off a bite of his flesh to be considered as not being unjust in this life and the next.
Gu Chen admired the girl's backbone and pitied her plight.
A sense of righteousness emerged spontaneously, and he seemed to understand the true meaning of his profession.
"Girl, you are not wrong about this. There are countless men in the world."
"There is always someone who understands the truth. Those men who think it's your fault cannot be trusted."
"It just so happens that a blessed girl will not enter an unlucky family. The girl's round face is exactly the sign of happiness. I see that your luck is behind you."
After being a censor for so long, it is rare to say so many words of comfort to victims.
Gu Chen felt that his image seemed to be much taller.
"Thank you, sir."
Since the accident, Miss Lu has been subjected to sarcastic comments from everyone. She does not even dare to step out of her house for fear of hearing gossip.
I never thought that the imperial censor in the capital would be a good person.
Gu Chen waved his hands sheepishly, and then said: "The carriages and horses are already waiting outside the door. Miss, please come to Beijing with our people immediately."
"My family can't accompany me, so I have to do whatever I need to do. Remember that everything is the same as usual. If anyone asks, just say that my daughter is still sad in the house."
"Do you understand everything?"
This was because he didn't want to alert the enemy, and he didn't want Zhu Huan to know about it.
Then it would be bad to send someone to kill the victim halfway.
After the arrangements were made, Gu Chen was about to leave when he was stopped by Miss Lu's father, Lu Manshui, he said sheepishly.
"Master Gu, since you don't dislike my daughter, why not... um..."
The honest man rubbed his hands with a look of embarrassment on his face, wanting to find a good marriage for his daughter.
"I already have a family."
Gu Chen naturally refused. In ancient times, it was not recommended to divorce one's wife casually and marry another. This would be a great hindrance to his official career.
The old man kept up his efforts: "You can also be a concubine."
He was the royal censor, and he didn't expect to be his father-in-law.
I just looked at his kind face and wanted to find a place for my daughter to stay.
"I have a fierce wife at home."
Gu Chen refused again, which showed that the old man couldn't bear to cry even if he wanted to.
"Don't worry, I will help Miss Lu and keep an eye on her."
"If there is someone with good character, he would definitely want to be a matchmaker for Miss Lu."
Anyway, he doesn't marry. The eldest wife helps make money, and having more younger wives costs money. He can still settle the accounts.
He said casually, but Old Man Lu took it seriously and followed Gu Chen.
"Master Censor, you have to worry about this."
As long as he resolves his daughter's matter, he doesn't feel sorry for his wife.
Gu Chen and Zheng Shiyuan discovered that the tax in Dingyuan County was actually thirty tax three, but the books were all thirty tax one. This piece of shit was greedy and half as greedy as the treasury.
Not only that, he also stipulated that taxes should be levied on grains worth less than ten dan and small businesses. Even selling eggs, vegetables and firewood must pay taxes.
There are various ways to increase taxes, even his daughter's full moon will have to be increased.
After all, he had embezzled about 150,000 yuan in the two years since he took office as Dingyuan County Magistrate.
"Three years of clearing the county, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver!!!"
Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh, how angry would Emperor Yongle be if he found out about this? How many cavalry would he have raised with this money?
"Oh, I knew two years ago that this would happen."
Zheng Shiyuan sighed and said softly: "Two years ago, when he was the prefect of Luzhou, he forced civilian girls and committed countless crimes."
"His Majesty thought he was the emperor's nephew, so that's all. He was demoted to the county magistrate. Now, it's just a repeat of the past, and it's getting worse."
Many of the charges were newly added, probably because he felt that the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and his majesty could not control him, so he became more and more bold.
"Then this time, I'm afraid it won't be easy for Your Majesty to protect me. The old and new accounts will be settled together. Even if I don't die, I'm afraid I'll have to shed my skin."
Gu Chen knew that Zhu Huan would die, but he still said this.
"Not dead? Why not?" Sure enough, Zheng Shiyuan was immediately furious: "The prince has committed the same crime as the common people, let alone the emperor's nephew?"
