It would be too shocking to kill a fellow intellectual in public.
Han You, the swordsman of the emperor's own army, killed a fellow soldier in public, and no one thought there was anything wrong.
Even Lu Chengmin, who had lost his breath and stared into a dead corpse, didn't think there was anything wrong. It was precisely because he felt the same way that he was so afraid.
"Tell someone to find Mr. You and tell him that I am back. I will wait for him here. I will guard everything he has fought for and help him keep it temporarily so that he can come back soon. My mother-in-law is going to give birth. If he doesn’t come back, I won’t be able to see my mother-in-law.”
Jiang Chong and all the officers and soldiers of Zhe Chong Mansion all showed expressions of emotion.
"I will obey your orders!"
Jiang Chong turned around and shouted loudly, then sent someone to look for You Mingtang.
"Tell me what happened after I left."
"yes."
Yongcheng is connected in all directions and its position is extremely critical. When Lao Ba came to the throne, many captains of Zhe Chong Mansion were replaced. Jiang Chong was one of Lao Ba's trusted confidants back then.
You must know that when Han You first arrived here, Magistrate Wen, Captain Wu, You Mingtang and Jiang Chong were not at odds with each other.
Now that something happened to You Mingtang, Jiang Chong had tears in his eyes after meeting Han You, it was because of You Mingtang.
Not a month after Han You left, Ji Ying's younger brothers came with his younger brother's younger brothers, and hired a large number of people from Xun County to transport wood along the way.
Professional people came, a lot of materials came, and endless money came. Everything was ready. You Mingtang was also a practical person. As the announcement went on, the whole city turned into a huge construction site, in full swing. Start drying.
The sweat of the people can melt the cold snow, but not the animals that eat flesh and blood.
As a memorial from Tang Qingfeng, deputy commander of the border army, spread, many people couldn't sit still about Han You's release of barbarian aliens into the country, thinking that this was an opportunity to bring down Han You.
The Lu family was one of them. They really thought that Han You would fall, and then they learned that Yongcheng was building the second Four Seasons Villa in full swing. Their eyes looked red and something.
This group of aristocratic families gathered together and began to dream about the future. They were covetous of Yongcheng's political achievements, but they were also afraid that Han You would be killed if Han You captured Yongcheng.
In the end, the Lu family gritted their teeth and decided to go ahead and take the lead and the big lead.
If it were just the Lu family, it wouldn't even count as a strong dragon, so how could it defeat a local snake like You Mingtang?
The Lu family is not only the Lu family, but also represents the interests of countless aristocratic families. Although he is like cannon fodder, many worlds still invested a lot of resources and connections, and finally transferred Lu Chengmin to Yongcheng as a co-president.
You Mingtang initially thought he was here to grab political achievements and didn't take it seriously. He didn't care about political achievements. He only cared about picking up the branches of Four Seasons Villa and fulfilling his original promise to the people of Yongcheng.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chengmin, who pretended to be an innocent little white sheep, was very good at disguise. Instead of attacking You Mingtang, he bewitched You Benshi, You Mingtang's son.
Master You Ben was not very experienced in the world, and he followed Lu Chengmin all day long, and over time he became a good brother to this guy.
I would also like to talk about the rules of the imperial court here. If a Beijing official is transferred, he will take office directly after arriving at the local level. If it is a transfer from another state capital, the handover must be done in name. This handover may last for a long time. See actual local conditions.
According to the official transfer order, Lu Chengmin was not considered a fellow acquaintance, but was considered to have arrived early. During this gap, he took this silly boy out of the city in the name of taking Master You Ben to visit Linxian County.
In the end, Master You Ben was in trouble because of a murder case. According to what this idiot said, he was staying at the inn, and two girls came over, and they made a fuss. When he woke up early in the morning, one of the girls was dead, and his hands were full of blood. .
After Lu Chengmin arrived, he told Master You Ben that he would immediately return to Yongcheng to find his father, and he, Lu Chengmin, would find a way to deal with the aftermath.
When Master You Ben rode away on horseback, the person he killed became the person he killed. He still fled in fear of crime, and there was so-called ironclad evidence.
Master You Ben is an idiot, but You Mingtang is not. After learning about this incident, he immediately knew that the old man had been framed.
As expected, Lu Chengmin returned to Yongcheng, took off the mask of hypocrisy and got straight to the point. Your son killed someone, and I framed him. There are two ways. One, write a letter to resign, and I will find someone to convict your son. Two, kill for life and arrest him. When your son is sentenced to justice, how can you, You Mingtang, teach his son without any skills or virtues to serve as the magistrate?
You Mingtang chose the third path and went to the woodshed to kill five of Lu Chengmin's followers with a hatchet.
It is worth mentioning that You Mingtang could kill Lu Chengmin, but he did not. He left a message that if he could not redress the injustice, he would sooner or later lead people into Yongcheng and kill Lu Chengmin.
After that, You Mingtang ran away on horseback. When leaving the city, someone sent a letter to Jiang Chong, the captain of Zhechong Prefecture, explaining the whole story.
After receiving the letter, Jiang Chong sent people to Linxian to investigate. No matter what clues he had, they all pointed to Master You Ben.
After all, Han You had set foot in Yongcheng, and the changes in Yongcheng were also related to it. Jiang Chong immediately wrote the matter into a memorial and had it sent to the palace for Lao Ba to see.
Lao Ba's reply was concise and concise. After finding the You family and his son, he secretly sent them to the Four Seasons Villa in Beijing for protection. When Han You came back, he asked Han You to deal with these rats himself.
In addition, the outside world is not allowed to know that You Mingtang's whereabouts are unknown, and the public is just saying that he is recovering from illness.
Jiang Chong led a small number of people to the mountain immediately, and found You Mingtang and his son. However, the two men refused to leave and said they would wait for Han You. If Han You didn't come back for a year, they would wait for one year and ten years if he didn't come back. They waited ten years because Han You had promised to protect them and let them go about their business.
This is a very unflattering statement, but it also makes sense.
If it weren't for Han You, he wouldn't have attracted the attention of so many aristocratic families, let alone the murderous disaster of You family and his son.
The friends were so angry that they made it seem like Han You owed the You family and his son something, which was too disrespectful.
Han You laughed dumbly: "Yes, I should uphold justice for them. I also told Master You to let go of his hands and feet, but I didn't expect those people to be so bold. It's my fault. It's my fault."
Jiang Chong was so impressed that he fell to the ground. Look at his courage, look at his mind, and then look at some of the birdmen. He wrote to you in a hurry to tell you what happened, and then he directly said, "Look for protection." If you send it to someone else for protection, then what's the use of a king like you... a bird like you.
"Post official documents and announcements, and the people have the right to know the truth."
Han You said without any worries: "Arrest all Lu Chengmin's people, follow the old rules, hang them on the wall, and restart the construction work that has been put on hold."
It should also be mentioned here that the projects that Han You saw suspended before were not caused by Lu Chengmin and others, but by the tactical retreat of Ji Ying's younger brother and Ji Ying's younger brother.
These younger brothers, it can be said that Han You has followed them since he first debuted. They have seen too many swords and swords. You Mingtang suddenly disappeared, and they all smelled something unusual and conspiracy. In addition, they later discovered that the Yongcheng officialdom was big. After a blood exchange, I immediately packed my things and ran away.
Han You once taught them three things, safety first, safety first, and safety first. When work and life-saving conflict with each other, if anyone chooses to work, even if he survives, Four Seasons Villa will not There is a place for him again.
The soldiers of Zhe Chong Mansion ran in and escorted out a group of officials who were crying for mercy.
Han You was already used to such scenes. After spitting on Lu Chengmin's body, he snapped his fingers again.
This time Lu Baichuan and Jiang Zhui realized what they were doing and went to the south of the city to ransack their homes.
Wang Hai asked softly: "Young Master, after all, you are an official of the imperial court. Do you want to..."
"Let's call it treason. Write a memorial and find someone to send it to the Ministry of War when you return to Beijing."
"yes."
A long time ago, Han You thought about the legitimacy of the process and the correctness of the results.
Late justice is not justice, so in order to seek justice, can we ignore the process and use unjust means to obtain just results?
At that time, Han You felt that this was correct. If justice could not be obtained with correct means, then there was no need to consider the formality of the means.
All the way deep into the Southland, all the way to the border, although he did not personally lead people to arrest Zhou Tianfeng's gangsters, he checked the evidence one by one, fearing that he would arrest the wrong person.
It was at that time that Han You unknowingly overturned his previous thoughts.
If the means are unjust, how can we ensure that the results are just?
Is it possible that the soldiers in the Zhechong Prefecture, or the people below, subjectively believed that someone was guilty, were too lazy to search for evidence of guilt, and just beat him up?
Han You couldn't even remember the names of the soldiers below, let alone guarantee that this kind of thing wouldn't happen.
From that moment on, his thinking changed.
Unfortunately, it only lasted a few days.
When they came to Yongcheng, Han You felt that he was overthinking. When dealing with people like Lu Chengmin, there was no need to think about whether the method was correct or whether the process was just. He could just kill him and be done with it. Otherwise, he would never be this kind of person. opponent.
You Mingtang, such a bold and reckless man, for the sake of the people of the city, is not pursuing the correct process. In order to take care of the people of the city, in order to continue to be the prefect, he is so poor that he owes a lot of debts and pays official taxes with his own money.
Then, and then such a prefect was forced into the mountains to eat the wind and drink the dew by people like Lu Chengmin. The beautiful dream he had compiled for the people of the city would turn into nothing in the hands of the aristocratic family and turn into more... Vampire, squeeze, bully!
Lu Baichuan kicked out the tied officials one by one.
"You decide whether you are cheap or not."
Lu Baichuan was very angry. He was about to return to Beijing. He just stopped by Yongcheng, but he met such a group of murderers. He didn't know how long he was delayed.
Dachuan'er has been in the army for many years and has not been so busy for a long time. He was thinking of one thing along the way. Returning to the villa, he would take a bath, a scrub, a couple of massages, a good meal and a good sleep. , this is the life an idle man should live!
