Chapter 221: Clearly Falsely Accused (3)

A large number of people gathered outside the Wu'an County Government Office, and thousands of soldiers blocked the streets to prevent more people from gathering in the county government office.

From a distance, Li Xun could hear a lot of noise and quarrels.

"Retreat, the front office will do business, and idle people are not allowed to enter."

Li Xun rushed closer, and several soldiers stretched out their guns to stop him. One soldier even stepped forward to pull Li Xun off his horse.

"Get out of here, I am Li Xun, the governor of Wuzhou. You dare to stop me."

Li Xun shouted at the horse and showed his identity.

"Get out of here."

Jiang Daxiongjia stepped forward and kicked the soldier who rushed up and wanted to pull Li Xun away.

"You are so brave, you dare to resist the law and take it down for me."

The leading officer did not know Li Xun. When he saw him taking action, he was furious. He didn't care whether he was the governor of Wuzhou or the king of heaven. He yelled and ordered the arrest of people.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! He is really Governor Li, don't do anything randomly."

Feng Jiming and Li Xun rode together. He got off the horse, rushed up, and loudly dissuaded both sides not to be impulsive.

The officer did not know Li Xun, but knew Feng Jiming. After hearing what he said, he quickly stopped the soldiers who were about to rush up. He looked at Li Xun in surprise and asked Feng Jiming: "He is really Li Xun, the governor of Wuzhou?"

Feng Jiming smiled bitterly and said, "I am just in the county government. How dare I make such a joke? Go and invite your general out, and you will say Governor Li is here."

"No need to invite me, I'll go see him myself."

Li Xun snorted coldly and walked forward. This time, the soldiers did not dare to stop him and made way.

When he arrived near the county government, Li Xun looked at the situation. Hundreds of people were surrounded by large groups of soldiers. The people were a little excited. The people who were a little excited even pushed the soldiers, but the soldiers were always restrained, but they only blocked the people and did not suppress them.

Li Xun said to Feng Jiming beside him: "Mr. Feng, didn't you say that the fight is almost started? This situation looks pretty good!"

Feng Jiming looked over there, looked at it for a while, then shook his head and said, "They are not Wang Tuyuan's soldiers."

The soldiers surrounding the people were indeed not Wang Tuyuan's people, but You Chong's soldiers. After he knew the situation here, he immediately led more than a thousand soldiers to arrive. In fact, Wu Heng's order to Wang Tuyuan was to forcibly disperse the people and those who dared to resist immediately suppress them by force. You Chong arrived in time. With the strong persuasion of him and Zhou Qing, Wang Tuyuan and Wu Heng reluctantly agreed not to use force for the time being, but they also gave a deadline. Within an hour, if the people did not leave on their own, they would be punished for gathering people to cause trouble and arrested them all. Now, more than half an hour has passed. Several officials from the county government persuaded the people for a long time and said they had been dry, but the people's attitude was very firm and would never leave until they saw Dera's sister being released.

Li Xun got off his horse and walked towards the county government gate. When he reached the door, You Chong happened to come out from inside. The two of them immediately met.

"Governor Li, why are you here?"

You Chong asked in surprise when he saw Li Xun.

Li Xun chuckled and said, "There is such a big disturbance here. As the governor of Wuzhou, if I don't come, I will be dereliction of duty."

You Chong glanced at Li Xun. He was talking. There was something wrong here. There was such a big disturbance here and the number of troops mobilized by thousands of people. He, the governor, and the highest military commander of Wuzhou, had no idea. This was indeed a bit unreasonable.

"Governor Li, before I led my troops here, I sent someone to the Governor's Office to inform me, but unfortunately you are not in the house."

Li Xun nodded. He believed You Chong's words, and there was no need to lie to himself. This was too superficial. You would know when you go back and ask.

"General, they refused to leave, and their emotions became more and more excited. What should we do?"

You Chong's deputy general ran over and reported.

You Chong said in a deep voice: "Let your brothers stay restrained. Without my orders, you are not allowed to take action. Those who violate the orders will be killed!"

"Yes, General."

The deputy general responded, did not leave immediately, but hesitated for a moment and continued, "The general's orders, naturally, the brothers dare not disobey. If the people's emotions are out of control and unstoppable, at most we can deal with them with sticks, and no major problems can happen. But... The military supervisor only gave an hour, and this time is about to come. If the military supervisor orders to suppress them, there will be no problem here. The soldiers under Wang Tuyuan are ruthless."

As he said this, the deputy general looked at Li Xun intentionally or unintentionally.

You Chong said: "You don't have to worry about these things. Your current task is to stabilize the emotions of the people and prevent the situation from escalating. Let's talk about what will happen later."

After looking at the two of them, Li Xun sneered in his heart. They were saying these words to him.

Li Xun said indifferently: "I will deal with Wu Heng. Without my orders, if anyone dares to use force against the people, don't blame me for not talking about the sympathy of his colleagues."

Li Xun's words are very tough. Some things can be fooled, while others cannot be avoided. Li Xun has his own responsibility and does not want to cause trouble, but he is never afraid of trouble.

"The general dares not disobey the order of the governor, and the general refuses to leave."

The deputy general bowed and took the order to retreat.

"General You, are you going to leave?"

"I'll come out to see the situation. The matter here has not been resolved. How can I leave with peace of mind?"

Li Xun nodded. You Chongruo really had this idea, this person would have taken some responsibility.

The two entered the county government office.

In the lobby of the county government, dozens of yamen runners were dismissed and hundreds of soldiers were surrounded by martial law. Wu Heng sat on the county magistrate, with a gloomy face. Next to him was a man covered in armor. It was Wang Tuyuan. At the bottom of the lobby, Zhou Qing was talking loudly.

People outside gathered and a large number of troops arrived. Zhou Qing wanted to go out to resolve the problem, but Wu Heng did not allow him to go out and insisted on severing the case. Zhou Qing was angry and had a conflict with Wu Heng. Dozens of county government runners were confiscated by Wang Tuyuan.

"I am the magistrate of Wu'an County and the landlord. I have the right to make decisions on civil cases. Even if you are not a governor, you have no right to interfere. If you think my judgment is unfair, you can write to the court to impeach me. If it is really my fault, I am willing to bear it."

Zhou Qing was extremely angry. He did not expect that Wu Heng was so domineering and unreasonable, and he could not oppress himself with his position as a governor. He actually exercised the power of military supervision, mobilized the army, and forced himself to interfere in local government affairs.

Wu Heng smiled coldly: "I am the governor of Wuzhou, your immediate superior. How dare you disobey my orders?"

Wu Heng is also very young, less than thirty years old, with a gloomy face.

Li Xun stood outside the lobby for a while, and listening to the two of them quarreling there, he had a heart in his heart. Wu Heng, relying on his sister being the Prince of Chu, was domineering and did not take Zhou Qing seriously at all. He didn't talk about any rules and did whatever he wanted. For such a person, it was obviously nonsense to reason with him.

Li Xun made up his mind and then stepped into the lobby.
