Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 184 I Will Beat You
Taibai County, Qizhou, the lobby of the county government office, this was originally the place where the county magistrate Lu Xing usually tried cases, but what he never expected was that the person kneeling below was himself.

"Lu Xing, you are a good official. It is reasonable to say that the court should reward you for clearing the roads of the whole county in five days. But can you explain to me why so many people died."

Du Yan, who was the left servant of the official department at the time, looked serious. It was hard for him to imagine that this person who had been evaluated by the official department every year could do such a crazy thing.

In fact, this matter started ten days ago. After receiving the edict from the Ministry of Education, Lu Xing, as the county magistrate, organized the people to clear the snow and build roads in the name of the county government. The reward for ten liters is doubled.There is nothing wrong with this.

But who knew that this guy was so greedy for work that he didn't allow the people to rest, and worked outside day and night. After five days, more than 280 people died due to frostbite, and more than 100 people had to have their limbs amputated to save their lives because of frostbite. disabled.Since it was not a matter of corruption or lazy governance, officials from the local Ministry of Integrity had no choice but to report the matter.

"My lord, my subordinates are honestly implementing the government's government orders. You can ask the entire Qizhou, or even the entire Guanzhong, which county has such a speed.

No matter what you do, there will be no casualties. If the roads are blocked and the food in Sichuan cannot be brought in, these people will definitely not die. "

Lu Xing didn't think there was anything wrong with him. He exchanged a small number of casualties for more people to survive. He was meritorious. Why did the court investigate Lao Tzu, like a thief? Isn't it because of us? He was born in a family, and he was criticized for everything he did.

"Hey, County Magistrate Lu, you have the style of an ancient man who broke his wrists. I have a small question and I want to ask you. I wonder if your county can enlighten me!"

Seeing the flattering expression on Changsun Chong's face, Lu Xing cast a contemptuous glance: "Your Excellency is a superior, so you can ask whatever you want, and the subordinate will know everything and say everything."

"The common people brave the wind and snow, rushing to work day and night without rest, is it the same for you?"

Chang Sun Chong's question hit the nail on the head. There are people here in the Ministry of Integrity, and they can't hide it if they want to. Fortunately, they bit the bullet and replied: "The lower official is busy with government affairs, so naturally he can't be there all the time."

Hehehe. The eldest grandson walked up to him with a smile, and when he went up, he had a big meal.While beating, he cursed at the same time: "You dog, what an official you are, there are more bastards in Qujiang Pond than there are people like you.

It's so busy with government affairs, what kind of government affairs can there be in your fart place.

I'm busy with you, uncle, I've checked everything, you just go to the construction site every day just to make an appointment, and then you go to the Cuixiang Building to fool around, and you're making such a fuss about it.Go and see those people who are freezing to death and frostbitten, and see if they can eat you alive. "

"Okay, Master Changsun, please stop, the more important thing is to ask the case." Although this Lu Xing is a cruel official, he is still in a court, and it is too disrespectful to beat someone like this.

Bah, "I look down on you guys who pretend to be puppies the most, and want to be promoted like crazy." Originally, a petty official like him couldn't bear the beatings of the eldest grandson, but when he saw the miserable conditions of those amputated old and weak women and children I couldn't stand it any longer.

In Zhang Sun Chong's view, this kind of guy who treats the people as livestock for his own political achievements beats him, so it is purely cheap for him.

"Elder Sun Chong, although the lower official is a lowly official, he is also an official appointed by the imperial court. This decision will not be in vain."

Seeing that Chang Sun Chong wanted to fight again, Du Yan had no choice but to stop him. He had no choice but to deal with this son of his old boss.

Even if the Lu family sued the emperor, there would be no results. Lu Xing could only blame himself for his bad character if he provoked this evil star.

"Lu Xing, these confessions are all evidence collected by the Integrity Department of Baishui County. There are famous people in the county and the people under your rule. After checking one by one by the official, they are all facts. What else do you have to say?"

"What the subordinate officials do is for the sake of the imperial court. How can the adults convict the officials just because of what a few unruly people say, and the subordinate officials refuse to accept it." Lu Xing looked at Du Yan and Chang Sun Chong with his neck straightened.

What the hell, Lao Tzu has worked hard for three years and is the first in taxes every year.It's fine if you don't get promoted, why should you deal with Lao Tzu just because of a few troublemakers.

Besides, according to the speed of those victims, wouldn't my head be beheaded and my house ransacked? Their death would be better than my own death.

"Lu Xing, according to the edict of Zhongshu Province, ten days are limited, and these ten days are more than enough for you. And you actually want to flatter the superior, ask for credit and reward, regardless of the life and death of the people, use the power of the people excessively, and let them freeze tired to death"

Du Yan has seen a lot of officials like him after working in the official department for so many years.Although he is somewhat talented, all he thinks about every day is how to promote himself faster or keep his position.

As for whether those people are dead or alive, they don't care, especially this time the court has ordered a limit of ten days, so these guys will naturally be even more frantic.

Looking at Lu Xing with an unconvinced expression below, Du Yan couldn't help but think of what Li Chengqian said in Hongwen Palace a few days ago.In the selection of officials, the public spirit is the first priority, and the talent is the second. Now it seems that there is some truth to this statement.

This Lu Xing was listed as a superior in the files of the Ministry of Officials. If such an incident hadn't happened, it would be a matter of time before he was promoted.In addition, this guy comes from a wealthy family and has certain contacts in the court.After a few years, he will be dressed in a purple robe. If he is to be placed in the pavilion, it will really bring disaster to the country and the people. .
"My lord Du, just kill such a cruel official. As for forcing him to Chang'an?" Chang Sun Chong glanced at Lu Xing who was stripped off by the guards and was still cursing.

He didn't understand why he had to hand it over to the Third Division for interrogation with so much evidence in his hands. Isn't it unnecessary to take off his pants and fart.

"Zhong Liang, I can only tell you that this is His Majesty's will. As for what it means, it's up to you to understand it yourself." After speaking, he shook his wrinkled robe and walked straight out of the lobby.

Looking at the back of Du Yan leaving, Chang Sun Chong also rubbed his swollen head: "It's a trick, why do these old guys like to say half when they come out of the Qin Palace, stay one, what's wrong with this!"

In fact, the reason is very simple, Li Chengqian wiped his younger brother's butt, so looking back, the emperor as a father can't cross the river and tear down the bridge.Otherwise, the case of Lu Xing, a small county magistrate, would not be as concerned as the emperor Li Shimin.
