People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 434 The prefect who sent himself to death actually had his own reasons! !

Chen Han still knows very well what these people think.

In other words, this is the flaw of human nature. It has never been my business and I don’t care.

These people are even more like this. They don’t care who King Lu is. They only know that King Lu wants to spend money to settle themselves and others. So let him spend money. We want to see how much money he has. .

As for whether King Lu will have any impact on us if he escapes this punishment, it's none of my business?

Anyway, I firmly believe that this kind of thing will never happen to me, and that's enough.

If others will be hurt because of my inaction, that is their business.

I just need to take care of my business.

It is with this idea that these people don't care about anything.

But what they didn't expect was that King Lu was not the soft persimmon they imagined, nor was he someone willing to cater to them.

Especially when he saw that people could betray Chen Han for a little money, he became even more unscrupulous.

Anyway, you guys won't resist. If you dare to see my joke, I will make you a joke.

That's why Peking University is rolling on the ground now.

It's actually quite sad when you think about it.

Since ancient times, the most helpless thing about this nation is that it has nothing to do with itself.

As long as the knife is not held to their necks, they will never resist.

You can say that our nation has a spirit of patience, but in fact this is numbness.

You are so numb that you will only wake up when people really want to eliminate you. As for before this condition, as long as they can have food to eat, they will definitely do things and things will happen.

Basically there is no awareness of active resistance, which is the greatest tragedy of this nation.

When Chen Han saw this group of people, he discovered that this shortcoming was most vividly reflected in them, and they were short-sighted.

It's really short-sighted and not just ordinary short-sightedness.

Even if such people save them once, they will still do tragic and outrageous things.

a ha ha ha……

"Chen Han, you finally said something humane. These unruly people are like this. Our ancestors bought the wealth with their blood. Why should we give it to them? Why can't we enjoy it..."

As he spoke, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

It was so painful that the flesh in his mouth was bitten to pieces.

"Now you have seen what kind of people they are. You said that for such a group of unruly people... you have offended all the royal family members. Why is this necessary?"

Hahaha……

As he said this, he actually looked up to the sky and laughed.

The Jin Yiwei beside him didn't care what he was saying. As long as Chen Han didn't give an order to stop, he kept slowly cutting the flesh of King Lu.

Perhaps because he was able to accept the pain, King Lu didn't yell all the time.

The people all lowered their heads. Chen Han had told them what was in their hearts.

This is what they really think. Anyway, as long as those bad things don't happen to them, everything is not the worst outcome.

Chen Han was too lazy to reprimand. He raised his head and looked at the sky: "Although I feel very sad that I am protecting such a group of people, but I can't convince myself not to save you. This may That’s how mean I am.”

The reason why Chen Han felt helpless was that no matter how hard he struggled, the final result was still the same. Even though he knew that these unscrupulous people were short-sighted, he could not really give up on these people.

Isn't my mission just to protect these self-destructive guys?

Although I hate these people very much, can I really let them be beaten to death?

"You all go away, go back and recuperate, don't let me see you!" Chen Han scolded loudly.

King Lu's criminal law has not yet been completed, Chen Han has already begun to drive away these irrelevant people.

King Lu was still laughing loudly.

He had to laugh to cover up his current fear.

But Chen Han obviously would not give him a chance to look back. No matter how hard he struggled for mercy, Chen Han would not let him go.

Tang closed his eyes after seeing this scene.

To be honest, she didn't have much affection for King Lu, but King Lu had been kind to him over the years. Now, seeing him being tortured like this in front of her, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

After all, they are a couple.

"That's enough! It's really enough! No more executions. Give him a happy life. I beg you."

Mrs. Tang knelt at Chen Han's feet and prayed.

Before Chen Han said anything, King Lu himself shouted loudly: "Don't beg him, I won't beg him even if I die... If you have the ability, let me hurt you to death, if you don't have the ability, You are a coward."

Hahaha……

"Chen Han, kill me. I tell you, I won't let you go even if I die... I... ah... ah... don't worry, I won't beg you. Just kill me." It's worth it if I can pull you down from your high position in this life..."

He yelled crazily.

The eyes were bloodshot.

That look was very scary.

But after Chen Han saw it, he was only happy and not afraid at all.

You know, if it weren't for the existence of this kind of bastard, how could Shandong be like this?

To be honest, the people of Shandong have become intolerable to the Kong family.

But I didn't expect that there would be a cancerous King Lu.

The people simply can't survive.

Seeing how miserable the people were, no one would let King Lu live.

Especially since this guy actually dared to hire people to harm him.

I am an imperial envoy.

Even if this matter comes to His Majesty the Emperor, Chen Han will still be justified.

Thump thump thump...

Just then, several galloping horses came running up the street.

An official in a green robe got off his horse.

This man was in his forties and looked quite capable.

"I am lowered to Yanzhou Magistrate Zhou Ruhai to see the Imperial Envoy!" Seeing Yanzhou Magistrate, Chen Han raised his hand: "Get up!"

Zhou Ruhai looked around and discovered.

There were wailing people all around.

None of this means anything.

Although surprised, not scared.

But he immediately saw that King Lu was trapped in Wuhuada, and was being tortured by being entangled in fishing nets and torn into pieces by Ling Chi.

Zhou Ruhai was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene.

Zhou Ruhai, the prefect of Yanzhou, knew King Lu very well.

When King Lu was acting unscrupulously in Yanzhou Prefecture, he couldn't do anything to him, but he didn't expect that he would be tortured like this today.

But soon he thought of a more serious consequence, that is, although their local payment cannot restrict the local prince on weekdays, there is one thing that they must be responsible for, that is, the time is the local prince to prevent them from doing Something that was unscrupulous and did not go down well with the people.

However, now the Investigation Department is doing evil in the fiefdom, but the Tax Inspection Department has just been established.

The Jin Yiwei from the Tax Inspection Department was able to discover this because he was dealing with land.

Then I reported it directly.

This is amazing.

King Lu has been in Yanzhou Prefecture for ten years.

But after ten years, no one from the local government reported King Lu's problem to the court.

Although Zhou Ruhai was in Yanzhou Prefecture, he was far away from the capital.

But his ears were full of what happened in the capital. Judging from the temper of the current emperor, if he was held accountable for his dereliction of duty, someone would definitely die.

And it's not just him who died, there must also be all Yanzhou payments in the past few years. This is a big deal.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Han saw him coming, he immediately asked: "How many years have you been in this position in Yanzhou Prefecture?"

Zhou Ruhai replied tremblingly: "It's... it's been three years..."

"Three years!" Chen Hanhan smiled: "In three years, you haven't discovered what King Lu is like? And you haven't received any reports about King Lu? Look at me!"

Chen Han shouted loudly.

This loud shout was like a dragon's roar, making Zhou Ruhai tremble with fright.

Zhou Ruhai fell to his knees with a plop.

"Sir, spare your life. It's not that you are a villain and you don't want to take care of King Lu. It's because the villain has no soldiers and no people. How can you take care of such a high-ranking prince?"

At first glance, he didn't seem to understand what he said.

After all, he didn't have any troops.

The local army is firmly controlled by the local guards.

If King Lu had established a good relationship with the local garrison in advance and the garrison did not send troops, they would not be able to accomplish anything.

However, Chen Han quickly asked: "If you can't take charge personally, why didn't you even send a letter to the court reporting King Lu's behavior? I remember that when His Majesty divided the fiefdoms, he emphasized that local officials should have supervision The rights and obligations of a vassal king are so difficult to send a letter to the imperial court, and now you not only refuse, but you also think that I am a fool, right?"

Zhou Ruhai was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect Chen Han to know so much.

The reason why he had no dynasty to report on King Lu's behavior in these years.

On the one hand, he really did not dare to offend King Lu, and on the other hand, King Lu sent him gold and silver jewelry from time to time.

Under the bribe of these things, how could Zhou Ruhai betray King Lu?

"Do you have nothing to say now?" Chen Han asked.

Zhou Ruhai actually knew Chen Han's reputation. It was originally the responsibility of local officials to welcome the imperial envoy, but he didn't expect that Chen Han would bypass them and go directly to Prince Lu's residence. Not to mention, he was caught off guard by killing him.

Chen Han shouted: "What else do you have to say now?"

Zhou Ruhai cried: "Sir, I am innocent, innocent!"

King Lu laughed loudly in order to get more people into the water alone: ​​"You may not know that this guy has received a lot of bribes from me in the past few years. I also told you that this guy also took those elixirs, and now you know Why have I been here for so many years? I am as bad as any official in the imperial court."

At this time, King Lu already understood that he would die anyway, and it would be enough to drag several relevant people into trouble before he died.

Bang! ! !

As if being hit by something, Zhou Ruhai almost fell to the ground.

Originally, he came to plead with King Lu, hoping that Chen Han would let King Lu go for the sake of King Lu being a vassal king. However, he did not expect that he would be betrayed by King Lu when he first arrived, and his crime would be punished. The fate of King Genlu was similar after he was confirmed.

Seeing Zhou Ruhai's expressionless look on the ground, King Lu laughed loudly and wildly.

Perhaps he himself felt that this was a rare opportunity, and he never expected that Zhou Ruhai would come here to seek death at this time.

Zhou Ruhai was very helpless when facing this situation.

"Imperial Envoy, you have to believe that there is nothing I can do to accept his bribe. You have to believe that if it weren't for the fact that the salary of the imperial court was too low, I would not have accepted his bribe." Zhou Ruhai said with a face full of prayer, Guailui begged in front of Chen Han.

"Sir, you are young and promising, and you are in the capital. Now you have become the son-in-law of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You may not understand the difficulties of those of us who are officials below. In your eyes, you can get a salary easily, but in our eyes , that is something you can meet but cannot ask for. I cannot reach out to the people, so I can only reach out to King Lu.

After listening to his words, Chen Han knelt down and looked at him: "As long as you can guarantee that what you said is true and directly talk about his bribery without harming the people, this guild will give you an explanation. If my investigation later finds that you are If you speak, I can guarantee that your fate will not be better than his."

Chen Han pointed at King Lu who was being tortured.

Zhou Ruhai was startled.

Zhou Ruhai looked at King Lu and immediately knelt on the ground and swore: "My lord, although I, Zhou Ruhai, am not a good person, I have basic micro principles. I have never thought about harming the people. I just want to be an official when I am In these years, I can think more about the people and do more for the people. I can't change what King Lu did, so I can only speak more for the people."

As soon as Zhou Ruhai finished speaking, the common people limped up: "I can testify, Imperial Envoy, that it is indeed difficult for the magistrate. In Yanzhou Prefecture, because of the presence of King Lu, our life is very difficult. If the prefect had not helped us during this period, we would have been even worse."

"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, had it not been for the prefect to help me uphold justice, I would have been beaten to death by the Kong family. Thanks to the prefect's mediation, our family was able to escape the disaster. We have to thank the prefect. grown ups."

More and more people are coming forward to testify for Zhou Ruhai. They can all prove that Zhou Ruhai is a good official.

This actually surprised Chen Han.

If she was popular, she would not accept bribes from King Lu. If not, there was no way she could have so many people speak for him.

Could it be that he is really a good official who only accepts bribes because he has no choice but to do things?

Of course, Chen Han couldn't let him go so easily. Even if what he said was true, just because he knew about King Lu's behavior and didn't report it, it was enough for him to pay a price, at least this black gauze hat could not Wear it again.

Zhou Ruhai seemed to have thought that being dismissed from office would be the best outcome for him, so he was not afraid of Chen Han's investigation.

"You should stand aside first, I still have to deal with them!!"
