The moment Lu Chen finished speaking, Fu Hua's expression changed slightly.
"Governor Lu, no!"
She walked up to Lu Chen and said in a solemn voice: "The last time Governor Lu killed King Yu, the reason why His Majesty did not punish him was because King Yu openly disobeyed the orders of the Ji Dao Sword, which is tantamount to disobeying Your Majesty and is punishable by death. Said, Governor Lu, you can kill him, but now, King Yu has not disobeyed the holy will, and the royal family has the right of life and death. Anyone who offends the royal family with a title, as long as he is not a cultivator, the royal family will The right to dispose at will is an ancestral system!"
Speaking of this, she clenched her fists for no reason, and then added:
"Even if it is finally confirmed that the royal family is self-willed, abusing the imperial power to kill the people without any reason, and not hesitating to kill innocent people indiscriminately, the matter can only be handled by the Tianzong Mansion. If you forcefully use the sword of the extreme to kill, you are not disobeying the holy will. King Yu is abusing the authority granted by His Majesty, and is likely to be regarded as an arrogant, arrogant and domineering sycophant!"
Click...
Lu Chen clenched the Jidao Sword in his hand and said calmly:
"What you mean is that I want to watch the more than 600 people in Qu'er Village who have done nothing wrong and innocent people who just want to live a stable life die tragically because of the grudge between me and King Yu, and remain indifferent. ?"
"There's no way around it."
Fu Hua said helplessly: "The imperial power is supreme. Although King Yu's move is cruel and unkind, it does not violate the laws of Daxia, let alone treason. As long as he is a first-class prince, he has the power to kill the people. , in this world, only cultivators have always been qualified to enjoy justice, and the same is true in today's world."
"if it is like this."
Lu Chen slowly took steps forward and spoke a shocking sentence calmly:
"Then I'll turn this damn world upside down."
Hearing this, Fu Hua's face suddenly darkened.
Why is this man so strong...
Could it be that he couldn't tolerate even a trace of turbidity in his eyes?
"Governor Lu."
Fu Hua's eyes were full of solemnity.
"I have to remind you that if you insist on going your own way and attack Prince Yu's Mansion at all costs, or even kill Prince Yu with the sword of Ji Dao, no matter what the result is, your career in Daxia will be cut off, and you will most likely be trapped in deep trouble. Prison, you will never be able to get out of jail!"
"This is most likely King Yu's purpose. He knew that Governor Lu loved the people like a son and valued people's livelihood, so he deliberately massacred Qu'er Village and Gou'er Village, two villages related to you, just to completely anger you. , making you lose your mind and do stupid things in anger, and you will be forever doomed..."
"so what?"
Facing the evil consequences mentioned by Fu Hua, Lu Chen showed no fear on his face, let alone any wavering.
"Fame and fame are like floating clouds to me, and fortune and salary are like dust to me. What's the pity?"
He walked to the door of the house and said calmly:
"Anyone who dares to treat the common people as a piece of grass and trample on them will be treated as a pig or a dog by the officer and slaughtered as livestock? Why not?!"
"As an official of the imperial court, if I cannot uphold justice for the people, how can I be worthy of the support of the people and the trust of His Majesty? How can I be worthy of the Great Xia Dynasty that gave birth to me and raised me? How can I stand in this world?"
"So what if our ancestors made it a law? Could it be that if our ancestors made it a law, it would destroy the foundation of our imperial court and ruin the destiny of our country?!"
Hearing this, all the Xuanji guards were moved.
Lu Chen suddenly turned around and glanced at the two corpses in the farmhouse. Then when Fu Huan opened his mouth to speak, he interrupted coldly:
"I have made my decision. Don't say anything else. No matter what the consequences of this matter are, I will bear them all."
As he said that, he looked around at all the Xuanji guards and said in a deep voice: "If you don't want to go, I will never force you, nor will I blame you. This is human nature after all, and I will go on my own." Yes, even if I am the only one, I must seek justice for all those who died in vain."
"No regrets even if I die!"
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to respond, he turned around resolutely and walked towards the royal horse specially given by the empress.
Seeing Lu Chen's decisive back, Fu Hua sighed softly, then raised her steps and chased after Lu Chen without hesitation.
Neither she nor Lu Chen gave orders to Xuanji Guards, apparently letting others do what they wanted.
However, the moment the two of them set off, except for the officials from Ping County, Fang Yu and others followed Fu Hua's footsteps almost at the same time, following Lu Chen in an extremely natural manner.
After everyone left, a man and a woman slowly walked out of a house.
They stood in the rainstorm, letting the cold rain wash over their bodies, and just watched quietly as everyone left.
Silent for a long time.
"Both of you."
An official with a Chinese character came forward and said calmly: "Master Fang has returned to Yuzhou City with the Governor. The official reward that Master Fang mentioned will have to wait for your return before being distributed. Please come back now."
"OK, all right."
The young scribe nodded, and then said to the woman in red beside him: "Let's go, Hongyu, it's time to go back."
The woman named Hongyu did not respond immediately. Instead, she looked at the official and asked softly: "Master, may I ask, is the man holding the golden sword just now the new governor of the two states?"
"Yes, it's him."
The official said impatiently: "Okay, if nothing happens, you two should go back quickly. I won't accompany you when I have official business to do."
After saying that, he turned around and walked into a farmhouse with a look of disgust.
Hongyu turned around again and looked at the direction Lu Chen and others were leaving.
"In this world, there is such a great man who cares about the common people..."
As she murmured, her bright eyes gradually lost focus.
"Lu Chen...what..."
After a few breaths, she suddenly said to her companions on the side: "Brother Fan, let's go to Yuzhou City to have a look."
at the same time.
In a village in Ping County.
In an ordinary farmhouse.
"Grandpa, I'm hungry..."
A child in charge bit his finger and looked pitifully at a haggard old man not far away.
"well……"
The old man sighed softly, stretched out his withered old hand and stroked the child's head twice.
"Just bear with it, my dear, we don't have much food at home, and we still have to wait until the spring plowing...but don't be as greedy as the past few days."
The child looked puzzled.
"Grandpa, since our family has nothing to eat, why do we throw away the food that the kind official gave us before..."
Hearing this, a look of pain suddenly flashed across the old man's face, but he still said without hesitation:
"That's not food, that's trouble!"
"If we don't throw it away quickly, it will definitely cause death for us and my father. We must not keep it!"
He sighed quietly, and then said: "I know you are very hungry, and so is my grandpa, but no matter what, we will not starve to death. Although we are uncomfortable with hunger, if we endure it for a while, we will be able to get there. We go up to the mountains to gather food in spring, and if gluttony brings about the disaster, we and I will not see the sun tomorrow. The people in Quer Village and Gouer Village are our role models..."
The child nodded in understanding, but couldn't stop drooling from the corner of his mouth.
He doesn't understand the adult world.
He only knew that the big man who came here on a special trip a few days ago, who looked very clean and could talk to them with a very comfortable smile, made him half full.
Moreover, the food given by the big man was really delicious. He still remembers the taste of the snow-white rice.
So that big shot should be a good person.
But it’s impossible for Grandpa to harm him.
For a moment, his hungry mind was full of tangles.
And this scene, since word spread about what happened in Gou'er Village and Qu'er Village, has started to be played out in various villages.
Unless there really was no food left at home and the village was already in despair, the villagers would not dare to receive the condolence food ordered by Lu Chen.
For a time, the food that had been consumed rapidly in various granaries in Yuzhou suddenly stopped and even replenished the warehouses, so that the empty warehouses at the bottom of the partitions were covered with abundant grain.
Food in Yuzhou will never be wasted.
