Chapter 393: test

Chapter 393 Temptation

Leader Yang yelled: "Shut the **** up! Are you going against it? If you have any grievances, go to the Yamen and file a complaint. Don't argue here, and don't get into group fights. If you get into group fights, people from the county will arrest you." Take him to jail!"

Victor He saw that Team Leader Yang was angry and hurriedly scolded the villagers: "Stop arguing. Why are you arguing? Are you looking for death? The police officer is here today to handle the case of Lu Zhudan's family. If you have nothing to do, go home as soon as possible."

 Mr. Lu and Mr. Lu have seen how cowardly they are and have laughed at them. Go back quickly. If you make too much noise, you will anger Team Leader Yang.

The He family hurriedly shut up, but instead of going home immediately, they held up torches and sent Yang Bantou and others out of the village.

They said they were sending it to Team Leader Yang, but in fact they had suppressed it for too long and hadn't seen enough of Mr. Lu's misery, so they wanted to see more.

The commotion in Dafeng Village was so loud that the nearby Lianghe Village heard the commotion. The village chief of Lianghe Village rushed to the entrance of the village with several young people from the village.

After seeing Team Leader Yang escorting Mr. Lu and his family, he was shocked. Something happened, something happened, and the Lu family was afraid it would be over.

Bantou Yang deliberately punished Mr. Lu and asked the government servants to drag him quickly to the town. After Mr. Lu fell to the ground from exhaustion, he was put on a mule cart and ran towards the county government office.

More than an hour later, at dawn, Mr. Lu and Mr. Lu were finally taken to the county government office.

Also arrested were Lu Laoda and Lu Lao Er who lived in the county town, as well as Lu Guihua and Lu Hehua who were married in other towns.

 These four families were all arrested together with their children.

The four brothers and sisters have been confused for a long time. They don’t know what happened. They didn’t ask the yamen servants to tell them. They can only worry.

The children at home had never seen such a battle, and now they were taken to the county government office, where they were forced to kneel in the hall by the government officials. They were all so frightened that they cried loudly.

After seeing Mr. Lu, everyone asked: "Dad, dad, what's going on? Why did the government officials come to our house and arrest us?"

Lu Hehua even stiffened her neck and asked: "Dad, what on earth did our family commit? This crime is not as bad as marrying off a daughter. The daughters are already married, and the sons are getting married. Why is it that something happened to the mother's family? Catch your daughter?"

Lu Hehua was very angry. She was dissatisfied with Mr. Lu and felt that he was partial. She found a village chief's house for her eldest sister, an official for her third sister, and only found a village chief's house for herself. Although her father-in-law's house was He is quite rich and has a shop in the county town, but his status is not as good as Zou County Cheng.

Mr. Lu’s burlap had been removed from his mouth. When he heard Lu Hehua’s words, he glared at her: “Unfilial daughter!”

After saying this, he immediately knelt down and cried towards the empty hall: "Master Qingtian, this villain is wronged. What kind of royal law did this villain commit? Are you going to arrest the villain's whole family in the middle of the night?"

"The villain knows that he has some bullying behavior in the village, but which family has relatives who are officials and does not bully others? The villain just made the same mistake as everyone else... The villain knows that he is wrong, and the villain will change... But Mr. Qingtian has to make the villain understand. He can’t just arrest the villain without saying anything... The villain refuses to accept it. The villain is unjust, oh oh oh..."

Mr. Lu was good at singing and reciting. After crying in the hall that he was wronged, he fell to the ground and cried bitterly. The cry was so aggrieved that he felt aggrieved. Those who didn't know better thought that he was really wronged.

Gu Jinan followed County Magistrate Xu, Master Tian and his entourage, hiding behind the screen and listening. When he heard Mr. Lu's cry, he frowned deeply and whispered to the county magistrate: "Sir, looking at Mr. Lu's appearance, he must not To be honest, if we go out to the court now, he will definitely deny it."

"By now, Zou County Cheng should have received the news. For Zou Yuzhen's sake, he will definitely come soon. As we said before, we will go to court first, interrogate Mr. Lu, and then throw him into the water to test his will. You have to change your inability to swim. Otherwise, Zou County Magistrate would have arrived before your Excellency could ask anything." After hearing this, County Magistrate Xu asked Gu Jin'an: "Younger of the Gu family, do you have anything? What’s a good idea?”

Gu Jinan said: "Reporting to your lord, Wan Sheng thinks that we should change the order and test Mr. Lu first to see if he can swim? After the test comes out, we will go to court to interrogate him. Then he will want to deny that he can't swim. , even if you can’t escape by swimming.”

Master Tian agreed very much: "Sir, this is a good idea. It is much easier to test Mr. Lu when he has no defense."

If we were to go to court for interrogation first, and then test whether Mr. Lu could swim, then Mr. Lu would probably rather drown himself than hold on without swimming to save himself. ''

“My lord, you must know that only by taking the enemy by surprise can you win with one move.”

Magistrate Xu was very moved, but said: "Throwing people into the water to test them before going to court, in case something happens, is a waste of human life."

Although County Magistrate Xu loves to take credit for his work, at heart he is afraid of taking responsibility. No matter what he does, he always plays it safe.

Master Tian said: "Sir, do you still remember what the prefect said when you went back to see him last time?"

The magistrate said that Magistrate Xu was too careful in his work. It should be noted that if you want to be an official, you must not be afraid of the wolf in front of you and the tiger in the back. If you are so afraid, your official career will not last long. At most, you can only become a county official, but it will be difficult to become a government official.

Thinking of what the magistrate had said, County Magistrate Xu gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Jiang, immediately send someone to drag Mr. Lu to the pond in the backyard of the county government office and see if he can swim?"

"I obey your orders." Jiang County Lieutenant immediately came out with two groups of county soldiers, pointed at Mr. Lu and said, "Come on, drag Lu Xiangfu to the backyard."

 The county soldiers were urgently recalled from the Division of Soldiers tonight, and two of them were Qin Erlang and Qin Sanlang.

 Jiang Qi admires them very much and will bring them with him whenever he can accomplish anything.

 “Yes!” The county soldiers responded and went to pull Mr. Lu away.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Let go of the old man. If you don't go to court, you will torture him. You are abusing lynching!" Mr. Lu's hands were tied and he couldn't get up to escape. He could only lean on the ground with his two knees. It was difficult. Back away.

When Lu Lao Da, Lu Lao Er, Lu Guihua, and Lu Hehua met, they only scolded the county soldiers. No one dared to come up to help, for fear of being charged with obstructing the military master from doing his errands.

"Stop!" There was an angry shout. Zou County Cheng, supported by Zou Jiang, rushed to the county government office with Master Shao and Master Cao. When he saw the county soldiers were about to take Mr. Lu to the backyard, he hurriedly shouted: "Stop it! You have to drag people away before they even ascend to the church, you, what are you..."

Zou Xiancheng has been sick recently, and he can't even speak without breathing heavily. However, Qin Sanlang moved quickly. Before Zou Xiancheng finished speaking, he picked up Mr. Lu and rushed to the backyard of the county government office with a few meteoric strides. .
