When Lu Shengqiao saw that someone came out to complain, he was so angry that one Buddha left his body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He immediately shouted: "The thief is so bold that he dares to collide with the imperial envoy's guard of honor. Why don't we beat him out quickly!"
Lu Shengqiao shouted out, but found that no one moved at all. Only then did he realize that there was not even a government official around him, but the subordinate officials stood dumbfounded, not knowing what to do!
Lu Shengqiao roared angrily: "What are you still doing? Why don't you get rid of that unruly man quickly!"
It was only then that the officials from the Henan Prefecture realized that they must not let this person see the imperial envoy. In desperation, these officials did not care about their dignity, and hurriedly rushed forward, planning to kill the person who complained of injustice. Get it away!
But as soon as they moved, they heard a cold voice shouting: "Stop!"
Although the voice was extremely unfamiliar, all the officials in Henan Prefecture could not help but shudder when they heard it, and their footsteps were as fast as the wind and they stood still like nails!
Lu Shengqiao looked back and saw that the eight-carriage sedan had landed on the ground. In front of the sedan stood a thin official wearing a second-grade official uniform. Needless to say, this person was the Inspector of the Eight Prefectures. He was given the Shang Fang sword by the emperor and the left inspector was the censor. Yang Lian!
Lu Shengqiao knew that things were about to go bad, but he still bravely ran to Yang Lian, bowed and said: "Master Yang, there are unscrupulous people disturbing you. This is the official's dereliction of duty. Please wait a moment, I will send someone immediately." Get that troublesome person away!"
Yang Lian glanced at Lu Shengqiao, showed a sneer, raised his fists to the sky and said: "I have been ordered by Your Majesty to patrol the country in order to understand the people's sentiments and deal with unjust cases. Now that someone is blocking the sedan chair to complain about injustice, how can I ignore it?"
Lu Shengqiao wanted to say something more, but Yang Lian shouted: "Come here! Bring the enemy here!"
The two guards who captured the enemy called the enemy without saying a word brought him to Yang Lian. Yang Lian looked at the man for a few times and said to himself: "The people in Dongchang are really meticulous in their work. The enemy called the enemy is dressed up so realistically. No one will suspect it¡¯s fake!¡±
Although he was thinking this in his mind, Yang Lian's face was as calm as water and he asked: "Who are you? What grievances do you have?"
The person who complained about the injustice grabbed the ground with his head and cried out in tears: "Replying to your Majesty, the villain's name is Chen Da. He was originally a tenant of Chenjiazhuang under the jurisdiction of Prince Fu's Mansion. The villain risked his life to stop the sedan chair to complain, in order to seek justice for all the people in the village. It¡¯s fair!¡±
As soon as Chen Da said these words, all the officials of the Henan Prefecture present were struck by lightning, and cold sweat broke out on Lu Shengqiao's forehead. This is not to say that Lu Shengqiao has no magnanimity and panics when things happen, but that Lu Shengqiao has already discovered it. This matter is not simple!
Lu Shengqiao was well aware of the case Chen Da was talking about. Although he was not the mastermind, there were massacres of villages and villages in his area. If he, the prefect, didn't know about it, wouldn't it be a joke?
However, Lu Shengqiao also got the news about the cause and ins and outs of this incident after the incident, and the person who handled it had already said that no one was left alive in Chenjiazhuang. This not only made Lu Shengqiao feel relieved, but also made a lot of money from it. benefit!
But now when the imperial envoy who patrols the world on behalf of the emperor arrives in Luoyang, a man comes out to complain for Chenjiazhuang. This is simply to put him, the prefect of Henan Prefecture, on the fire and throw him into a frying pan!
The most suspicious thing is that in order to welcome the imperial envoy into the city today, Lu Shengqiao had given repeated orders to the residents along the road the imperial envoy took to close their doors. However, as soon as the imperial envoy's honor guard entered the city, they saw such a huge crowd!
All of this seems to be a big net, which has been opened early, just waiting for moths like them to pounce in. Therefore, Lu Shengqiao is not afraid that someone will really cry out for injustice. What he is afraid of is that all this is a drama arranged to deal with him!
Just when Lu Shengqiao¡¯s heart was in turmoil, Yang Lian had already asked: "Chen Da, what grievances are there in your Chenjiazhuang? Why don't other villagers come to complain?"
Chen Da had already burst into tears at this time, and the stains on his face were blurred by tears. He slowly took out a roll of brown paper from his arms, raised it tremblingly over his head and shouted: "Sir, I, Chenjiazhuang, are one hundred and two Eighteen households, including 462 people, old and young, were all killed by thieves in one night, leaving only the villain alive. This is the villain's petition. Please give the imperial envoy to the 462 people in Chenjiazhuang. The people who died innocently and tragically must redress their grievances!!¡±
When the people around him heard such a thing, they all gasped. Someone said: "I heard about this. It was last year."It happened at the end of the year, but at that time I heard that Chenjiazhuang had been slaughtered, but I didn¡¯t expect that there were still people left alive now! "
Someone else said: "This man is also strange. Zhuangzi was massacred by thieves. He did not go to the county magistrate or the government magistrate to report the case to arrest the thieves, but he insisted on complaining in front of the imperial envoy. Could it be that the imperial envoy didn't come and his case would not be reported? ?¡±
While the people around were talking about it, a guard had already presented Chen Da's petition to Yang Lian. Yang Lian took the petition and opened it and saw it read: At the end of the first year of Tianqi, bandits from Xiong'er Mountain attacked Chenjiazhuang at night. There is only one Chen Da among the 463 people in the village. This case was caused by the Henan magistrate Lu Shengqiao and his officials and gentry who failed to seize the land left by the Prince Fu. They hired thieves to murder people. It is unjust for the innocent people of Chenjiazhuang to suffer. Please Master Qingtian makes the decision for the people of Chenjiazhuang!
The content of this petition is not much, but there are dozens of names listed under it. Behind those names are also marked how many fields have been occupied, how many tenants have been forced to death, and there are some other charges!
After Yang Lian read the petition, his expression became even colder. He looked at Lu Shengqiao and said, "Mr. Lu, Chen Da sues all the officials and gentry of Henan Prefecture for hiring bandits to massacre 460 people in Chenjiazhuang in order to seize the land left by Prince Fu's Palace. Two villagers, I wonder if Mr. Lu has anything to explain?"
Although Lu Shengqiao had been prepared in his heart, he could not help but panic at this moment. The other officials and gentry of Henan Prefecture all had dull eyes and their bodies were like sieve chaff. They never expected that what they thought was a perfect thing would actually happen here. It's time to reveal the secret!
After all, among these people, Lu Shengqiao was the more determined one. He took a deep breath, clasped his fists and bowed, "I would like to report to you, your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, your subordinates, Henan Prefecture officials and gentry. Although they dare not say that they have devoted all their efforts for the country and the people, they also dare not do so." Such a heartbreaking thing, this Chen Da seems to be a crazy person at first glance. I don¡¯t know who ordered him to come here to make nonsense and false accusations against the imperial officials. I ask the imperial envoy to take a closer look!"
Yang Lian's expression softened a little, and he nodded slightly and said, "Master Lu is right, you are all officials of the imperial court and sages in the countryside. No matter what, you cannot hire bandits to massacre the people!"
Lu Shengqiao and the officials and gentry of Henan Prefecture felt relieved when they heard this. Lu Shengqiao even wondered if he had guessed wrong. This matter was really just a fish that slipped through the net like Chen Da. He only jumped out to complain when the imperial envoy arrived in Luoyang, and It¡¯s not like someone is planning to deal with him!
Chen Da was stunned after hearing Yang Lian's words. His face was covered with tears and stains. Although his expression was invisible, his eyes were so red that they were about to bleed! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
