Time flies, the years fly by, and the peaceful days pass quietly.
This day.
As soon as Lu Shaoze came out of Chen Liu Gambling House, he saw the streets crowded with people.
In front of the people was a group of White Tiger Guards headed by Guan Hai.
In addition, there were also prison cars and several shackled prisoners.
Seeing this scene, Lu Shaoze felt somewhat helpless.
The prisoner should be an official from Ningyuan County, but if he was killed in Ningyuan, what does it mean to be taken to Yuzhu County?
Then there will be a court hearing, which is troublesome!
In order to avoid trouble in the future, Lu immediately stood in front of everyone with a smile on his face.
His move shocked the onlookers.
Blocking a government prison car on the street is equivalent to robbing a prisoner!
How dare that young man?
However, the scene that happened next caused everyone to fall into a state of sluggishness.
I saw those people in official uniforms, not only did not get angry, but they immediately dismounted from their horses and saluted respectfully:
"In a humble position, please refer to the Commander-in-Chief."
"I've met Mr. Lu."
The people were dumbfounded.
It seems that the young man has already become an adult before he reaches the crown?
I'm afraid he's not someone with a strong background, right?
Among them, there are also martial arts practitioners who are familiar with the White Tiger Guard.
They were much more shocked than ordinary people.
After all, the words "commander" carry a lot of weight!
It's just that this person is young, how did he become the one?
However, when everyone was confused and surprised, Lu Shaoze waved his hand and said:
"Master Guan, just take the person to the execution ground!"
"Lord Lu, is this act inconsistent with etiquette?"
According to Dakang law, all criminals must be examined, imprisoned, and sentenced before they can be punished.
Although the evidence for the crimes committed by Magistrate Gou and others is conclusive, due to the hasty arrest of the tax and bank matters, there has not been time to review them.
Therefore, Guan Haicai escorted a group of them to Yuzhu County.
This was also the reason why he didn't kill him immediately.
But now?
Mr. Lu actually wants to take someone to the execution ground directly?
The White Tiger Guards are a yamen directly subordinate to His Majesty, but they are not lawless people. They must do things according to the regulations.
Otherwise, it would be a trivial matter to be impeached after returning to Beijing, which would be difficult for His Majesty, and their faces would be disgraced, right?
But how could Lu Shaoze not know what Guan Hai was thinking?
But to him, is this a big deal?
"Master Guan, if something happens, I will be responsible for it. Take it away!"
Listening to Lu Shaoze's unquestionable tone, what else could Guan Hai say?
He could only reluctantly say yes, and then led everyone around the corner and went straight to the Caishikou Dharma Field.
At the same time, Lu Shaoze changed the topic and said to the people around him:
"My dear fellow countrymen, I am Lu Shaoze. I am so lucky to have the emperor's love and personal appointment as the commander of the White Tiger Guard!"
"But every time I see His Majesty and the old man working hard for the people's livelihood, staying awake all day and night, Lu feels aggrieved!"
"Your Majesty has worked hard for the country and the people without stopping for a moment."
"But now there is a moth in Ningyuan County. Under the name of his parents' official position, he is corrupt and perverts the law and commits all kinds of evils. He plunders the people's fat and anointing, and destroys our great prosperity!"
"The official's behavior is a disgrace to the emperor and to our well-off people. Do you think he should be killed?"
Lu Shaoze's impassioned words instantly aroused public outrage!
Even His Majesty is worried about the livelihood of these poor people, but a small county magistrate dares to act recklessly?
Simply unworthy of a man!
"Kill! You deserve to be killed!"
"Master Lu, kill them!"
"kill!"
"..."
The crowd was so angry that some even raised their hoes and other utensils and shouted loudly.
Seeing this, Mr. Lu also looked sad and angry.
He immediately raised his hand and pressed down, carrying the sound of rolling internal energy, which instantly spread throughout the streets and alleys.
"There is such a vicious thief in the imperial court. If we don't kill him, the people will not be angry! Please accompany me to the execution ground!"
"I will give an explanation to the people of Ningyuan County, an explanation to the people of the world, and an explanation to Your Majesty in front of everyone today!"
After the words fell, Lu Shaoze took the lead in turning around and walking towards the execution ground.
The common people followed closely, cheering and cheering.
Those who didn't know about that scene thought that the officials in Ningyuan County were rebelling?
Ridiculously true.
But what no one noticed was that after Lu Shaoze turned around, the corners of his mouth slowly curved!
He's not that reckless.
The emperor thinks highly of the Lu family, and the old man is his majesty's favorite.
Even he, inexplicably, became the commander of the White Tiger Guard.
It seems that you have great power, but you cannot be arrogant!
Acting regardless of Dakang's laws is a big deal, but not a big deal.
It depends on what the officials think and what His Majesty will think!
Now that I have made such nonsense, I can at least protect myself from worries when I return to the court in the future!
After all, His Majesty's reputation in Yuzhu County will be spread to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and one day it will spread throughout Dakang.
At that time, everyone will know that His Majesty wasted no time in eating and sleeping for the sake of people's livelihood.
How could he be willing to punish himself?
Haha~
…
After a while.
The Caishikou Dharma Hall was already overcrowded.
Lu Shaoze stood with his pen upright on the high platform, holding a pile of official corruption and other evidence in his hand, and examined it carefully.
Below him, stood Guan Hai, Liu Qing and others.
Only Wang Erhu held a big knife and pressed Magistrate Gou and others on the guillotine!
Due to an emergency, there is no executioner or death card, everything is kept simple!
Magistrate Gou, who was imprisoned on the guillotine, was stunned.
After all, he was also an official of the imperial court, and even though he had committed such things, it was not too much to be killed more than ten times.
But isn't it too hasty?
You know, he has eaten one meal since he was caught!
No matter what, I have to give him a meal?
Alas, it’s good to be dead now, at least I’ll have less to grind against!
Thinking of this, Magistrate Gou resigned himself to the guillotine and chose to face it calmly.
But he is calm, but others are not!
There were a total of eight people arrested, ranging from the county magistrate to the government officials.
Some are just accomplices, and the money they make is less than ten thousand taels!
Since Te Niang only has less than ten thousand taels, there is no need to behead her, right?
Therefore, even though several people had their acupoints tapped and could not move, they still kept begging:
"The adults are wise, but the villains are wronged!"
"My lord, my lord, all of us are rich and noble, and it's all under his orders."
"The villain accepted a bribe of only 5,000 taels and was willing to hand it over. Please forgive me, sir. Please forgive me!"
"..."
The dignified old men were all crying.
Some people were even scared to the point of peeing!
But it's okay if they don't shout. Once they shout, the people will quit on the spot.
Just five thousand taels?
They worked hard for a year, and in the end they were rich if they had more than ten taels in their pockets. They had to save five thousand taels for five hundred years!
"Gou Guan, go to hell!"
I don’t know who shouted first, and the leaves and gravel were thrown directly at the guillotine.
Some people took out the eggs in their arms and prepared to throw them twice, but in the end they still didn't want to part with them!
To deal with the dog officer, even the stones are of advantage to them. .
