For these wealthy families, it is not an unexpected thing to bribe witnesses after committing something, or even directly find death row prisoners to impersonate their own children who committed crimes. It has even become commonplace in these troubled times.
In later film and television works, villains often have lines, and here I am God.
This is actually true.
After all, what really matters in troubled times is the softness and hardness of fists. These officials in the imperial court can keep their butts steady. Even if they are inseparable from these powerful families, how can we expect that these officials will not hesitate to destroy their own future or even the entire
Family to maintain the justice of the law? What's more, in troubled times, when dynasties change, how can the court still have perfect laws? How can the so-called words of saints and moral rules cover all the sinister places in the human heart?
Even in the Taiping years, there were still unjust, false and wrong cases, not to mention that in these troubled times, we should be thankful that there were a few cases that were judged normally. Therefore, if the government didn't come out to arrest him this time, I'm afraid that
The old man who was beaten will not come forward to complain.
Who knows whether the government and these wealthy children are colluding, or whether there is even a young master from the official family among these wealthy children?
Therefore, the more troubled the times, the more the officials forced the people to rebel. The entire period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties was a repeated process of constant rebellion and constant suppression. Perhaps it was precisely because every family had scriptures that were difficult to recite, so sometimes the Southern and Northern Dynasties were able to maintain a consistent relationship.
With this rare tacit understanding, they each concentrated their efforts to kill the bandits in their own territory.
Lu Zicai had expected that these guys would be so well prepared, but when Lu Zicai fixed his gaze, he broke out in a cold sweat.
One of the wealthy businessmen smiled complacently and said, "Governor, would you like to hear what these people say?"
"Shameless!"
"I don't know where this person came from. He clearly took your money!"
At this time, some of the people watching could not stand it and started to curse.
The rare toughness of the government this time also gave them a glimmer of hope that justice would be served. These guys actually repeated their old tricks, and of course everyone was very angry.
The merchants turned a deaf ear to this, but they also knew in their hearts that their family members must have been keeping an eye on those rude guys, and when the matter here was resolved, someone would naturally deal with them.
But Lu Zicai stood up suddenly, walked over in three steps and then solemnly raised his hands: "I see your Majesty!"
Several merchants' eyes widened immediately, and the officials and government servants nearby also prostrated themselves: "See you, Your Majesty!"
The people at the entrance of the government office all came to their senses at this time, and prostrated themselves in a black mass. But the merchants felt their legs and feet were weak, and almost collapsed on the ground.
Li Xingchen smiled and stretched out his hand to help Lu Zicai, and walked straight to the chair next to him. When he looked back, his eyes were even more cold: "Under the emperor's feet, I never thought that such a cruel and evil thing would happen.
What happened! I am a white fish and a dragon, and I have observed the public sentiment, and in the end, I was caught as a false witness. I exchanged ten taels of silver for a false witness. I think you really have a huge wealth, and you have nowhere to use it!"
As he spoke, Li Xingchen dropped the ten taels of silver he had received when he was pulled at the door as a witness. This time, he did not expect that he would take Shen Wuhua and run over to watch the fun, but who knew he would be caught?
Several servants from aristocratic families stopped him and asked him to come out and give false testimony in exchange for ten taels of silver.
Li Xingchen knew that these wealthy people would definitely come up with some cover-up methods, but he never thought that now that he was stationed in Guangling County, they would have the guts to do such a thing directly. Looking at the witnesses these guys pulled in temporarily, they were indeed all different.
There are all kinds of people, as if they are already familiar with the road. And they have no preparation at all before, they can just go to the street and stuff money to drag someone away, which shows how many loopholes there are in this matter.
Not to mention why these people would commit perjury without conscience, couldn't officials in higher positions see the clues? Can the voices of the people outside the government really be ignored?
If this is really the case, then where is the law, discipline and justice represented by the court? How can the people be loyal to such a court that does not distinguish between black and white?
Those middle-aged people were so frightened that they couldn't speak, let alone their even more disappointing nephews. Li Xingchen's eyes fell on Lu Zicai: "You will try this matter, I will watch here.
, let’s see who still has the guts to do that evil thing!”
After a pause, Li Xingchen suddenly turned to the door: "Fathers and fellow villagers, please come to Guangling this time to sympathize with the sufferings of the people and punish violations of law and discipline. You can watch and see what kind of punishment I will give these people today."
, and if you have any grievances, you can tell them here. From the top to the prime minister and the bottom to the people, I will take care of the matter of oppressing fish and meat!"
"My Emperor is Holy Ming!" the people shouted in unison.
They never thought that the aloof emperor was such a young man, but they could also feel the calm and self-respect on his face.
How many soldiers died serving His Majesty like this? It is no wonder that only His Majesty like this can create the foundation we have today.
Li Xinchen's cold tone just now caused Lu Zicai's back to be soaked with cold sweat. At this moment, he once again felt Li Xinchen's gaze looking over him. He subconsciously shuddered and solemnly raised his hand.
He has been in charge of Huainan for so long, and of course he hopes to achieve some political achievements. However, these wealthy families are almost the main driving force supporting the current economic development of Huainan, and without their help and mobilization, the people of Huainan would be nothing more than a piece of scattered sand.
It is naturally difficult to smooth out the entire Huainan just relying on the government's currently stretched manpower and material resources.
Therefore, knowing that these wealthy people were a cup of poison, Lu Zicai could only drink it with his neck raised. After all, the public anger that might arouse in the future would be better than no development at all in Huainan.
Who knew that these guys really didn't know how to restrain themselves? Originally, Lu Zicai just planned to give them a warning, and this punishment would not fall on them. After all, they are also backed by various aristocratic families, and they also have many connections with the Lu family.
, so it is impossible for Lu Zicai not to give face to the big guys in the DPRK.
Who would have thought that they would foolishly ask for trouble and bump into Li Xinchen's gun. This time there is no place for them to run, and Lu Zi is being supervised by Li Xinchen. Even if he really kills their heads directly, who will
Who can come forward to accuse him?
At this time, Lu Zicai could only be grateful that at least he was not involved in this whirlpool. It is estimated that Li Xingchen also knew about this matter, otherwise he would most likely be kneeling in front of the hall now, as soft as mud.
