Li Xingchen sneered, and just as he was about to give the order for Li Ping and others to rush forward, who had already put their hands on the hilts of the swords in their arms, a loud shout suddenly rang out from the crowd.
"stop!"
I saw a few strong men in civilian clothes separated from the crowd and came out. These few knew at a glance that they were Lian Jiazi. They subdued the servants who wanted to commit violence with three strikes, five by five, and two. The servants did not know what was going on and still wanted to struggle.
, everyone was beaten before they became honest. Others went to help the old man who was pushed down.
The young masters were all startled, and one of them stood up and shouted: "You know who we are, and you dare to touch us!"
The strong man in the lead raised his eyebrows and took out a token from his arms: "Huainan Governor's Yamen, I am acting as ordered!"
After a pause, the strong man looked at the young man: "You guys are causing trouble here. We have already received the news, and we are waiting for you to come out again today so that we can catch you! Now there are both human and material evidence.
Let me see if you have anything else to say!"
"You, you are going too far!" A young man said with a red face, "Why do you say that we have done something illegal?"
"Committing violence in the street, bullying men and women, how can it not be counted?!" The strong man sneered and looked around, "You old and young men, some of you are in the government, and they are here to uphold justice for you. Please tell me, what so and so said?
Wrong?!"
"That's right!"
"right!"
"Well done, don't accuse them unfairly!"
There were echoes around. It was obvious that the people around were already angry, but they were afraid of collusion between the government and businessmen and did not dare to come forward. Now that the government stood up so forcefully, they were surprised and finally couldn't help it.
They all responded.
At this time, several cavalrymen came quickly from a distance. The leading general turned over and dismounted, looked at the young men who were almost limp on the ground, and clapped his hands: "I have caught you guys.
If it really causes trouble, take it away!"
"Okay!" The people cheered.
The general immediately raised his hands to the surrounding people and said, "Fathers and fellow villagers, please don't be afraid. We, who are eating the emperor's salary, should ensure peace for ourselves."
Seeing Zhuang Jiang and others leaving under the pressure of the lost dandies, the shopkeeper who had just been persuading Li Xinchen not to meddle in his own business opened his mouth wide. It was obvious that the scene in front of him was something he had not expected.
And Li Xingchen laughed: "Shopkeeper, it seems that the world has changed."
The people around were also talking in low voices, obviously they did not expect that the government would come like this.
This world seems to be really different.
Li Xingchen turned his head slightly and looked at Shen Wuhua: "How is it?"
Shen Wuhua had been with Li Xinchen for a long time, and naturally knew that Li Xinchen also had a little vanity that needed to be satisfied at this time, so he smiled and said: "Of course, this is something I have never seen before."
"Then let's go watch another good show." Li Xingchen said with a smile, turned around and walked towards the government office, "Things are not that simple."
"Hit me!" Huainan Governor Lu Zicai was in a bad mood. "I have all the evidence, so I won't accuse you unjustly!"
His Majesty is in Guangling County, and the spies of the bodyguards must have been scattered all over the place. These guys are still causing trouble in the street. I am afraid that this matter has already reached His Majesty's ears, and it is really causing trouble for himself.
Lu Zicai was already doing his best to maintain the stability of the entire Huainan, just to make Huainan a truly prosperous place for the Han Dynasty. This time when your Majesty came, he even wanted to show your Majesty a scene of peace and prosperity, but this time
A few guys really don't give me face.
Listening to the screams of those young masters, Lu Zicai just breathed a sigh of relief, and the staff next to him whispered: "Governor, several merchants outside the door have jointly requested to see you."
"No!" Lu Zicai waved his hand impatiently.
The staff said helplessly: "Governor, this seems inappropriate."
Developing Huainan is a big plan of the imperial court, and those who have the opportunity to rush to the front to seize this unclaimed land are not just ordinary people. These merchants actually represent various aristocratic families, and are even descendants of the aristocratic families.
For example, the Tang family, Xu family, Gu family, etc. are more or less related to the ministers in the court.
If they did not represent the interests of officials of all sizes in the court, or even directly represent the interests of the court, the status of merchants in this era would not give these dandies the courage to commit crimes in the streets.
Thinking of this, Lu Zicai also had a headache, which is why he would rather turn a blind eye to these guys before. Then the ministers will have to ask him for an explanation, even if the explanation he gave is fine.
, this bridge can be considered closed.
Therefore, according to Lu Zicai's idea, give them a beating and teach them a lesson, and then hurry up and let them get out. If they alarm His Majesty again, they will reap the rewards.
But obviously these guys don't appreciate it at all, and they hope to find Lu Zi again to give them "justice".
"Let them come in." Lu Zicai rubbed his temples.
"See the governor!" Several middle-aged people dressed as wealthy businessmen filed in.
"Everyone is well," Lu Zicai said with a forced smile.
"Governor, please don't speak secretly. I'm here to plead for mercy for the evil son!" The Xu family member said first, "If the dog doesn't teach, just give him a few beatings to teach him a lesson. Governor, can you let me
Waiting to take people away?"
Lu Zicai raised his eyebrows. Now he really only hit him twice. Is this too loose? What's more important is that there are many people behind the fence at the entrance of the government office. If he does this, it will be blatant.
The protection
"According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, murders are committed in the street. In addition, there have been reports of bullying of men, women, and people. According to my investigation, everything is true," Lu Zicai immediately said bravely, "Logically speaking, it is not a beating.
Just two clicks will do!”
Several merchants suddenly frowned. They came together to plead for mercy, and they were already giving Lu Zicai face. Although Lu Zicai was also the head of the Lu family, how could the Lu family compete with several big families in the court? It was originally
Just going through the motions to show His Majesty something, is this Lu Zicai really planning to enforce the law impartially?
"What the governor said is wrong. If you want to carry out execution, you have to pay attention to the presence of a witness and physical evidence. Where is the governor's witness?" A businessman said confidently, "There are several witnesses here, which can prove it.
Not only did my child not commit murder in the street, but he also wanted to help an old man who fell down and do something good. I'm afraid the governor has some misunderstanding?"
Lu Zicai was startled for a moment. There were indeed several witnesses standing behind him, but Lu Zi didn't notice them just now.
You are too shameless.
Lu Zicai cursed, but had to bite the bullet and said: "Bring witnesses!"
These witnesses range from poor people to well-dressed children of rich families. They come from all categories.
