When the master of the mansion, Lord An Guogong, and the governor, who were sitting above, heard the sound of drumming outside, their eyes narrowed, and then they turned to Lu Qingzhi.
When the two of them looked at him like this, Lu Qingzhi suddenly showed an unnatural expression on his face. Who is this person? He didn't complain earlier, he didn't complain later, but today?
Then Lu Qingzhi looked apologetic and said to Duke An and the Governor, "My two gentlemen, I'll go and see what's going on outside. I'll come back as soon as I get down."
Above the government office, Lu Qingzhi was sitting in the hall, and then some officers brought up the drummer.
"Who is in the hall? Why are you playing the drum?" Lu Qingzhi cast his eyes on the people in the hall, and saw that the woman in the hall was dressed in coarse linen clothes, with a few strands of black hair hanging down from her temples, looking quite embarrassed.
Who else was the woman in the hall besides Liu? It turned out that Liu and the other three people still did not see the arrival of the magistrate after waiting for a long time. Liu, who was eager to save her son, sneaked out of the inner hall of the government office and wanted to pass through this
A way to attract the attention of the prefect.
In the courtroom, Mrs. Liu looked at the magistrate with an excited expression, tears falling down, and even her limbs began to tremble unconsciously. After a moment, Mrs. Liu made a puff at Lu Qingzhi while everyone in the courtroom looked surprised.
Kneel down.
"Master Magistrate, please save my son." Mrs. Liu's voice fell and her voice was choked with sobs. Apart from these words, Mrs. Liu could not think of anything else she could say.
Lu Qingzhi looked serious and stared closely at the woman who was behaving strangely in the courtroom. Although the woman interrupted his discussion with the two adults, seeing the woman's series of actions, Lu Qingzhi felt that this matter must not be simple.
"Tell me what happened to your child? How can I save him?"
At this time, Ms. Liu collapsed in the courtroom, bursting into tears and unable to speak. Her tears had already soaked a large area of her clothes.
Just when Lu Qingzhi wanted to ask questions again, Xiao Changan and Chen Yuannian walked in from outside.
"Chen Yuannian, the magistrate of Dingyuan County, comes to see Mr. Lu." After Chen Yuannian entered the court, he quickly made an official salute to Lu Qingzhi. You must know that Lu Qingzhi is his immediate boss, so the proper etiquette must be indispensable.
of.
Lu Qingzhi was quite surprised when he saw Chen Yuannian appear. Wasn't he in the inner hall of the government office?
"Master Chen, long time no see! Didn't you say you have official matters to report?" Lu Qingzhi asked Chen Yuannian.
Chen Yuannian nodded, and after a moment he saluted Lu Qingzhi again, and continued, "Master Lu, this is exactly why I came here today."
After Chen Yuannian finished speaking, he turned his eyes to Xiao Changan and Liu in the rear. He immediately looked at Lu Qingzhi and said again, "Master Lu, they are the bandits from Pheasant Ridge! They looted Zhengjia Village last night and took this place
The couple's child was taken away. It is for this reason that I came here today and asked Mr. Lu to save him."
When Lu Qingzhi heard this, he was instantly shocked. He had heard of this group of bandits in Pheasant Ridge for a long time, but he didn't pay much attention to it before. He didn't expect that this group of thieves would dare to rob the village so blatantly?
"Mr. Chen, please explain in detail, and then I will report the matter to the Governor-General and ask the Governor-General to make a decision." Lu Qingzhi was quite shocked.
When Ms. Liu heard what the governor said, she felt anxious. Should this matter continue to be reported? The governor is thousands of miles away from here. If this happens, will it take a while? What if Chu'er has already suffered?
What should you do if you fall into the wrong hands?
Immediately, Mrs. Liu became even more excited and screamed like crazy, "Master Magistrate, please show mercy, Master Magistrate. We can't wait any longer. I'm afraid if we go too late, my child's life will be harmed by those bad guys!"
After Mrs. Liu finished speaking, she kept kowtowing to Magistrate Lu. The sound of her forehead hitting the ground kept reaching everyone's ears, making people's hearts tremble.
Lu Qingzhi was secretly frightened when he saw this. If this continues, someone will be killed. "Come on, help her up quickly."
Then some officers hurriedly stepped forward and helped Ms. Liu up, who was constantly discounting money, to prevent her from doing such a thing again.
"Don't worry, since I know about this matter, I will definitely not leave it alone. The Governor is in my office at the moment. I will report this matter to the Governor immediately. I believe that it won't be long before we can send troops to annihilate this matter.
Bandits, rescue your child." Lu Qingzhi said to Liu with a solemn look and sincere words.
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu calmed down a little, thinking that after the Governor knew about this, he could immediately send troops to save her child.
After Chen Yuannian in the court heard this, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked. The governor was actually here? This was the highest official directly in charge of Huaiyuan Province, and he was Lu Qingzhi's immediate boss. Oh my God, it's a good thing that I just acted like this.
It's appropriate, otherwise you'll bump into the Governor, and you won't be able to eat and walk away.
Lu Qingzhi saw that Mr. Liu's mood in the court had calmed down a little and he felt a little more relieved. However, before Lu Qingzhi could continue to speak, he saw the Governor and Duke An Guo from the back hall of the government office walking out of the inner hall of the government office.
Lu Qingzhi's face turned pale with shock, and he quickly stood up and gave up his seat.
However, Duke An Guo Xiao Tai and Governor Xu Yannian didn't pay much attention. They focused their attention on Xiao Changan and the Liu family in the hall, looking up and down.
Chen Yuannian below was quite shocked when he saw Lu Qingzhi's actions. Who else could make Mr. Lu do this, besides the Governor? Although she had not seen the Governor, he was very sure at this time that what he saw in front of him was
One of these two people must be the Governor.
However, when Lu Qingzhi saw that there was an old man with a gray beard and one arm among the two people, he couldn't help but be shocked. Since one of the two people was the governor, and they seemed to be equals, they must have official positions.
Similar. In the entire country of Daxia, among the older and one-armed officials, besides the former general Xiao Tai, who else is there?
After thinking about this relationship, Chen Yuannian hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed to the two of them and said, "Chen Yuannian, the magistrate of Dingyuan County, meets with the Governor-General and Lord Anguo."
As Chen Yuannian saluted, Xu Yannian looked at Chen Yuannian with a flash of admiration in his eyes. Although Chen Yuannian was old, he was not confused.
"Get up, Mr. Chen, is what you just said true?" the Governor asked.
When Chen Yuannian heard this, he quickly told the governor what he knew in detail. As Chen Yuannian spoke, the governor's face gradually became serious.
After Chen Yuannian finished speaking, before Xu Yannian could speak, Xiao Tai from behind shouted loudly, "Shameless thief, how dare you do this to rob homes and homes in our country of Daxia?"
Everyone looked towards Xiao Tai, and saw anger emerging from Xiao Tai's eyes, and veins popping up on his forehead. This made everyone shocked. This Duke An was a great general who once conquered the world, and he had countless dead souls under his command.
