Chapter 798 Start swatting flies

Wu family.

The master of the Wu family, Wu Youde, was lying leisurely on a lounge chair basking in the sun, covered with a soft fur blanket.

The two maids in the house were kneeling beside Wu Youde, one on the left and the other on the right, squeezing his body, and Wu Youde pinched him from time to time.

The two maids did not dare to complain and could only let Wu Youde do what he did.

Just as Wu Youde closed his eyes and enjoyed it, the housekeeper trotted over.

"master."

The housekeeper came forward with a flustered expression and whispered in Wu Youde's ear.

Wu Youde suddenly opened his eyes, waved his hand to the two maids to retreat, and then frowned: "Old Liu Tou is dead? How did he die?"

The housekeeper replied: "The old guy said he wanted to go out to the latrine last night, but he ran outside and took a hemp rope and hung it on a tree. When he was discovered, he was so hard..."

"Did you hang yourself?"

Wu Youde felt reassured and said displeasedly: "He hanged himself and it's none of our business. Why are you panicking?"

"Aren't you afraid that what the old man said is true?" The butler's expression was not very good. "Master, is it possible that the cow was really given to Liu Tou by the prince? If it is true, the prince will know If this happens, it will be troublesome!”

The housekeeper was still very panicked.

Although he also felt that it was impossible for the prince to send a cow to Lao Liutou, he was afraid of anything unexpected!

"impossible!"

Wu Youde denied it without thinking, "I heard that Fuzhou is in chaos now. Do you think the prince may be staying in Sifang County? The prince must be in Jingyang Mansion! Besides, there are so many people in Sifang County, and the prince is just here. Why should he give him a strong cow? That cow must have been stolen or picked up by him!"

There may be pie in the sky.

But if the pie falls from the sky every day, it cannot fall on poor old Liu Tou!

During the Chinese New Year, Wu Youde was so greedy that he secretly slaughtered an ox, and he still reports it to the government to this day.

No, he just brought that cow to his house. Not only did he get a strong cow for free, but he also didn’t have to pay the fine to the government for the slaughtered cow. He killed two birds with one stone!

Although Wu Youde's words seemed to make sense, the housekeeper was still a little uneasy, "I always feel a little uneasy, so we'd better be careful."

"Don't worry, what can happen? He's just a poor old man, he'll die if he dies!"

Wu Youde didn't care. He thought for a moment and then ordered the housekeeper, "Well, you go and pay a tael of silver and send it over! Remember, be high-profile and say this is the master. I see that Old Liu Tou has done a lifetime of work for Zhuangzi." For my sake, I’ll give you the funeral expenses!”

A tael of silver can not only calm people down, but also demonstrate one's benevolence and righteousness.

It’s not a loss either!

"I'm still smart!"

The butler immediately flattered him, "Then let me first..."

Before the butler finished speaking, there was a sudden noise outside.

Then there was a scream like a slaughtering pig.

"How dare you! Who dares to come to my Wu family to cause trouble?"

Wu Youde's face darkened, "Go and see what's going on!"

The housekeeper ran outside immediately.

"Step aside!"

Before the housekeeper could take a few steps, a group of well-equipped soldiers rushed in. The Wu Mansion's caretakers originally wanted to rush out, but when they saw these wolf-like and tiger-like soldiers, they instantly lost their momentum. , all dropped their sticks and hid aside.

The housekeeper secretly screamed that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile on his face: "Master, what's wrong?"

"Are you Wu Youde?"

Shen Kuan asked coldly.

"no no……"

The butler shook his head quickly, "I am the butler of the Wu family, and that man is our master."

As he said that, the housekeeper raised his hand and pointed at Wu Youde.

Wu Youde didn't dare to lie down anymore at this time. He quickly got up from the recliner and walked forward with a smile: "Master Jun, I don't know who in this old man's house doesn't open his eyes..."

"take away!"

Shen Kuan didn't give Wu Youde a chance to finish his words. With a wave of his hand, two personal guards stepped forward and detained Wu Youde.

"open!"

Wu Youde was angry, "Who are you? How dare you come to my Wu family to cause trouble? Don't think that you guys can scare me, I..."

Bang!

Before Wu Youde could finish his words, a guard punched Wu Youde hard in the stomach.

Wu Youde screamed, and his body suddenly arched like a shrimp.

"You, together!"

Shen Kuan glanced at the housekeeper coldly, and then ordered the rest of the people: "Seal the Wu family for me. No one is allowed to enter or leave without the prince's order!"

"Yes!"

The Guards took the order.

Your Majesty!

Hearing Shen Kuan's words, the housekeeper felt like the world was spinning and he fell to the ground, his face instantly losing color.

Your Majesty!

It’s really the prince!

What he was most worried about happened!

Wu Youde, who was grinning in pain, was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't even feel the pain in his body, and only the word "Prince" kept ringing in his mind.

The prince has sent someone to find you!

The prince Yunzheng sent someone to look for him. Besides the matter of the farm cow, what else could happen?

Finished!

That cow was really given to Lao Liutou by the prince!

Just for a moment, Wu Youde was like a deflated ball.

Shen Kuan was too lazy to talk and ordered Wu Youde and the housekeeper to be escorted out.

When they came outside, regardless of whether they had old arms or legs, they just threw their horses on and rode quickly to the county government office.

When Shen Kuan and his men came in, holding the dead dog-like Wu Youde and the housekeeper, Yun Zheng was sitting in the lobby of the county government office, which was filled with people.

"What's going on? The prince actually tried the case himself?"

"I heard that the prince gave a cow to old Liu Tou, a tenant farmer of the Wu family, a few days ago, but the master of the Wu family snatched the cow and slandered Old Liu, saying that he stole the Wu family's cow. Old Liu I couldn't think about it for the first time. I hanged myself last night..."

"Isn't this too bold? You dare to snatch the cattle sent by the prince?"

"Who says it's not the case? The point is, it also cost lives..."

"I'm afraid the old man of the Wu family is in danger this time..."

The people watching the excitement outside the county government were talking a lot.

Seeing Shen Kuan and others escorting people in, they immediately gave way.

"Your Majesty, please bring Wu Youde and the Wu family's butler!"

Shen Kuan returned to Yunzheng.

As soon as the guards let go, the two of them collapsed to the ground like mud.

"Oh!"

Shen Kuan kicked Wu Youde and shouted: "How dare you not be polite when you see the prince?"

Wu Youde's face was twisted in pain, and he tried hard to get up and kneel down, but his body refused to obey at all, and he could only look at Yunzheng begging for mercy with a look of horror on his face.

"The king does not need them to salute!"

Yun Zheng raised his hand to signal Shen Kuan and the others to retreat, and looked at Wu Youde coldly: "Do you know why I sent someone to bring you here?"

Wu Youde was trembling all over, and said tremblingly: "I know my sin, please... please have mercy on me..."

"Don't rush to plead guilty! I haven't tried you yet!"

Yunzheng made a "pop" sound and was stunned, "Bring Liu Wu and Li Jia to the court!"

Soon, Liu Wu and Li Jia were brought to the court.

They were the two old farmers who went to the palace to beg Yunzheng.

Yun Zheng raised his eyes to look at the two of them and said loudly: "In front of so many people, tell your grievances! I will provide you with justice!"

"The common people thank you, Your Majesty!"

The two of them knelt on the ground, crying...
