When Liu Jing and Zhi Zhi led the officials to appear on the top of the market building, the crowd of onlookers erupted, and everyone shouted the name "Liu Jun".
Regardless of whether Liu Jing was the mayor of the city in the past or the mayor of the city now, few people call him Liu Shijun, Liu Fujun or other title with position. Everyone prefers to call him Liu Jun directly. The same is true for all officials, as if
Not calling Liu Jun is not enough to show respect.
Qi Qi looked at the jubilant crowd downstairs in the market. Although it was not the first time he had seen such a scene, he still felt extremely shocked, even mixed with a hint of fear.
From Zhang Xian down, everyone in the county knew that Liu Jing had a high reputation in the market, but it was not clear to what extent it was. Only those who often come to the market would know something about it.
As Zhang Xian's confidant, it stands to reason that the results should be reported truthfully, which makes Zhang Xian wary of Liu Jing. It is best to transfer him out of the market immediately and place him under his disciples to support him with a casual job.
But Qi Qi did not do this, because it would not do him any good. On the contrary, he would be hated by Liu Jingji. Let’s see which one of those who have been against him so far will end well?
If he dared to ruin Liu Jing's future, he would die without a burial place, so he decided to remain blind, deaf, and mute...
Liu Jing stretched out his hands and pressed them slightly. The roaring sound quickly dissipated like the ebbing tide, and the surrounding area was completely silent in the blink of an eye.
Liu Jing said loudly: "Your Majesty, Liu Jing, has been working as an official in the city building for almost three months. I have always done my duty with all my heart and did not dare to slack off. I didn't expect that something happened in the city just after I was appointed as the city supervisor by the emperor."
I committed a murder case, is this because I am not moral enough?"
"This is not Liu Jun's fault." Someone shouted below, and everyone responded unanimously.
Some Pan family members shouted loudly: "Wu Xian is a dog! You must kill someone to pay for your life!"
Liu Jing added: "When Emperor Gaozu entered Guanzhong, he made a three-part agreement with his elders: 'Those who kill will die, and those who injure others and steal will be punished.' This is the law of all ages. Wu Xian killed someone and should pay with his life."
"Liu Jun Yingming..." Mrs. Pan couldn't help but cheered when she heard this.
Liu Jing shook his head again and said: "It's a pity that this matter is beyond my control. With the reputation of the Wu family in Changsha, Mr. Wu may be able to save his life."
Wu Xian hung his hands on the market building and looked at Liu Jing with an extremely shocked expression, thinking: "Is he unwilling to say these words, or does he have other plans?!"
The results were not too unexpected. He had expected that Liu Jing would not give up.
"What about the Wu family in Changsha? Mr. Wu must pay with his life!" Not only the Pan family, but all the onlookers were excited and shouted angrily.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Liu Jing turned around, smiled at his grades, and said, "Cheng Teng will send Wu Xian to the county prison right now."
Looking at the almost boiling crowd below, Zhi Qi said in disbelief: "Leave now?"
"Yes, let's leave now." Liu Jing's tone was unquestionable.
He hesitated for a while, but finally did not dare to violate the rules and ordered the thief Cao Li to put Wu Xian down.
"I won't leave, I won't leave..." Wu Xian was held up by two thieves and Cao officials. He kept struggling and shouting. The crowd had been aroused by Liu Jingsheng. If he goes down now, he will definitely be besieged by the crowd, even if he doesn't die.
To be seriously injured.
Qi Qi sighed secretly and thought to himself: "I had known this before, why did I do it in the first place?" He actually dared to commit a murder when Liu Jing was first appointed as the supervisor. This courage is beyond bounds. He doesn't take Liu Jing seriously at all. If you don't die, you will die.
Who dies?
Qiu hit Wu on the back of the head with the handle of his knife to calm him down, and then he and several of his men escorted him downstairs, where he faced a crowd of people on three floors inside and three outside who stared at him eagerly. With Qiu's ruthless nature, he couldn't help but be frightened.
"Let's go." Qi Qi gave his subordinates a look and bravely opened the way. The crowd did not deliberately block it and made way for them.
Wu Xianzhan walked into the crowd cautiously. At first, he only bumped into and kicked him, but he was relatively restrained. However, as the Pan family rushed over and shouted "Kill him!" the scene suddenly became chaotic, and several thieves who were escorting Wu Xian, Cao Cao, appeared.
The official had already received the hint of the result and quickly stepped aside.
The fists and kicks like raindrops came from all directions. Wu Xian could not resist or dodge, so he could only hold his head tightly.
Soon several young men in simple clothes infiltrated into the besieging crowd. They often attacked Wu Xian's vital parts fiercely. After a few times, Wu Xian lost his ability to parry, and his fragile head was directly exposed, and the violent wind blew around him.
Under the rain-like blows, he vomited blood and fell to the ground.
When the crowd dispersed and the scores came forward to check, Wu Xian was beaten to death without any surprise. He subconsciously looked up at the rooftop of the city building and saw Liu Jing's back as he turned and left.
Liu Jing walked into the press room and asked Liu Zhu, "Did you find those young men?"
"Yes." Liu Zhu bowed his head and said: "The subordinates were afraid that something unexpected might happen, so they recruited a few young people to prepare for the accident. The subordinates made their own decisions and asked Liu Jun to punish them."
Liu Jing smiled and waved his hands and said: "There is no perfect plan in the world. You can fill in the gaps for me. I am not happy enough, so how can I punish you? You and Zijin have worked hard. I will give you leave today. Go down and have a good rest."
"No." Liu Zhu bowed and exited the press room.
…………
Although Wu Ju was prepared, when he heard that his brother Wu Xian was paraded in public by Liu Jing, he was really angry.
Wu Xian is not just a thief or a knight-errant, he is a descendant of the Wu family. What Liu Jing did was simply deceiving others.
Zhang Xian is the king of a county. It is not easy for others to meet him. As his chief secretary, Wu Ju is unparalleled in terms of intimacy. It is not an exaggeration to call him the number one confidant. He can see Zhang Xian anytime and anywhere.
envy.
Zhang Xian was sitting in the yellow hall reading the document when he heard Wu Ju asking for an audience outside. He looked angry and asked immediately: "What happened? Why are you so angry?"
Wu Ju told the truth about the cause and effect of the incident without any deception. He emphasized that his younger brother Wu accidentally killed someone while drunk and then Liu Jing wantonly insulted the Wu family.
Zhang Xian felt a headache after hearing this, but he did not blame Wu Ju for harboring a fugitive. The prevailing custom was that if a family did not harbor a few desperadoes, they would not be considered heroes, not to mention that this fugitive was a brother of his own family.
He was worried about Liu Zhongda, Ou Xiong's injury had not recovered yet, and he had a conflict with Wu Ju, and he was too restless.
Wu Ju is not only his confidant, but he can also represent the entire Wu family. Zhang Xian must comfort him. Since he wants to protect Mr. Wu, he should spare his life.
Just when Zhang Xian was about to make a promise, he saw a man with a slanted crown and wrinkled clothes appearing outside the hall, looking very embarrassed, and reported that Wu Xian had been besieged and killed by the angry people in the city.
Zhang Xian and Wu Ju couldn't help but look at each other.
