The captain of the seventh-grade team felt the gaze and swallowed, feeling guilty in his heart. But when he saw the ferocious look on the rich man's face, he mustered up the courage to point at Xu Congjun and angrily yelled: "Why are you crying for injustice?! How can there be injustice?"
In one sentence, Mrs. Xu's fantasy was broken. She fell to the ground and shook her head in despair.
Xu Congjun stumbled and fell to the ground, looking panicked and embarrassed. He pointed at the seventh-grade team leader and was speechless.
Seeing this, Zhu Youde had an answer in his mind. There must be a hidden secret! The wealthy businessman and the team leader were unusual, maybe they were colluding secretly.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a scolding voice: "Xu Congjun, quickly hand over the land deed as a mortgage to Mr. Li, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
As he spoke, the squad leader stepped forward, grabbed his collar and lifted it up, clenching his other hand into a fist and shaking it feintly.
A naked threat, the imperial official threatened the people with force in public, in front of the emperor!
Although the people around him wanted to stop him, they were afraid of the authority. Zhu Youde couldn't bear it and took two steps forward to stop him, but was stopped by the guards of the squad leader.
"The imperial court ordered officials to handle the case, and no one else is allowed to disturb him!" He said and pushed back.
Li Renjie wanted to draw his sword and kill him, but Zhu Youde's eyes stopped him - there were too many people and it was not appropriate to be bloody.
Then he narrowed his eyes and looked at the squad leader, and shouted in a deep voice: "Dare you ask, sir, if you have any evidence? Beating your fellow citizens in public without evidence is a serious crime!"
As soon as these words came out, the emotions of the people around him were aroused, and they all rebuked him. If they thought Xu Congjun was dishonest just now, anyone with a discerning eye can now see that it was a collusion between officials and businessmen to bully the people.
If someone takes the lead, they will naturally follow in protest.
"Dog officer! Evidence!"
"Yes, where is the evidence? Want to arrest someone without evidence? Even if the emperor comes!"
"It makes sense, we must provide evidence! Otherwise we will file a lawsuit!"
Seeing that public outrage was about to ignite, the squad leader had no choice but to leave Xu Congjun, clapped his hands and walked into Zhu Youde, frowned and shouted coldly: "Who are you? Dare to stop me from handling the case?"
"I am an official of the imperial court, so of course I have evidence!"
He took out a piece of white paper with black characters on it, which was clearly evidence that Xu Congjun mortgaged his shop.
Zhu Youde was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to take it over and examine it carefully, it was taken away.
"Why aren't you allowed to check? How do I know if it's true or false? Take it out!"
With an angry shout, the power of the dragon filled the air.
The squad leader only felt the pressure approaching him. He looked up and down and saw that he was dressed in rich clothes and had an extraordinary temperament. When he touched the iron plate, his face became gloomy.
Judging by his attire, he must be a client of a wealthy businessman in the capital - he made a judgment on Zhu Youde's identity.
"Just a retainer, don't get in the way! If someone comes, take him down here and let your master redeem him!"
Two guards came forward to drive Zhu Youde away. Mrs. Xu and Xu Congjun were anxious and shouted loudly to let him leave.
"My benefactor, leave quickly! Don't be implicated!"
Hearing this, Zhu Youde was even more moved. Even ordinary people know how to pity. Don't these dog officials know?
What a moth!
Doing evil in front of me! I have to handle this matter personally!
"Go away! I'll say it again, everything depends on evidence. If there is no evidence, why are you arresting people?!"
He burst out with strength and forced the guards back. He shouted coldly and kept an eye on the team leader and the wealthy businessman.
The atmosphere became subtle. He showed no mercy in the face of the tough retainer squad leader, waving his hand and asking his subordinates to join him: "You should be beheaded for openly provoking an official of the imperial court!"
Seven or eight guards rushed up, but were also beaten away by Zhu Youde!
Mrs. Xu and Xu Congjun were completely panicked. Beating an official was punishable by death. Regardless of the truth, they knelt on the ground and knelt down and confessed: "Master! Please don't beat me. I plead guilty! I plead guilty! I plead guilty!"
Give you the store!"
As soon as these words came out, the people were stunned. Everyone knew that they had been wronged and were forced to admit it in order to exonerate Zhu Youde.
Especially when Mrs. Xu used her hoarse voice to dissuade Zhu Youde from leaving quickly: "My benefactor, leave quickly. I am grateful!"
The scenes and sentences made Zhu Youde fall into deep thought. The officials and businessmen colluded to bully the people, and their three views fell to the ground and were trampled and ground. On the contrary, the poor people understood the warmth and warmth of the world.
This is true under the emperor's feet, but what about local and remote areas? Are officials the devils who drink human blood and eat human flesh?!
He couldn't imagine that in the future, he would only focus on court officials and ignore officials at the grassroots level.
It hurts! It hurts!
Zhu Youde froze on the spot and was surrounded by guards without realizing it. Li Renjie was standing in front of him, ready to draw his sword at any time.
"Do it! Let me escort you to the Yamen!" The squad leader gave the order, and the guards stepped forward.
Li Renjie moved, but in the blink of an eye all seven or eight guards fell to the ground.
The people were stunned, staring at the two men in disbelief, and burst into cheers: "Well done! Knock the official unconscious with a stick!"
One after another, a wave soon formed, attracting the attention of the patrol battalion general.
"What's the matter? Report it immediately!" the general of the patrol camp frowned and reprimanded. If such troubles were recorded and reported to the emperor by the royal guards, they would definitely be reprimanded.
His eyes scanned the entire scene, and when he saw Li Renjie holding a sword, his breath stopped and his eyes widened.
"Li, Mr. Li!"
The general of the patrol camp hurried forward and bowed to salute. Because he lowered his head and did not notice Zhu Youde behind him, he concluded that there was a disturbance here and was noticed by the commander of the Jin Yiwei who was responsible for patrolling the whole city.
The seventh-grade team leader was dumbfounded. Looking at the trembling body of his immediate boss, he couldn't help but panic. He really hit the iron plate!
"I am here to meet Mr. Li!"
Wealthy businessmen also came to pay their respects: "The first merchant in the capital, Prince Lu, pays his respects to Mr. Li!"
Faced with the sudden change, the people around took a breath and erupted into a shocking roar. Even the generals of the city defense camp must salute. I am afraid that you are not a high official in the court. God has eyes! Give Mrs. Xu and Xu Congjun a way out.
…
After learning what had happened, the general slapped the squad leader in the face so hard that he couldn't find his way.
"Where's the evidence? Bring it out for Mr. Li to check!"
The squad leader and the wealthy businessman looked at each other and knew something had changed. They produced forged evidence and dismissed the onlookers.
The euphemistic name is to prevent the spread of the incident.
Zhu Youde lowered his head and hid behind Li Renjie, without revealing his identity or preventing the people from being dismissed.
"Fake!"
Li Renjie threw the note to the ground and glared at the team leader angrily: "Fake evidence and slander the people! Do you know your guilt?"
"I know my crime, I know my crime! I am willing to listen to Mr. Li's punishment!" the team leader said, taking the banknote from the wealthy businessman, and slipped it into Li Renjie's hand.
"Master Li, this is a misunderstanding. Please don't spread it..."
A blatant bribe!
Li Renjie looked at the banknote in his hand, which was a total of five hundred taels. He was really willing to exchange it for a big mansion in the capital.
Normally he would not dare to ask for it, and today he would not dare to ask for it. His Majesty is right behind him, and these people are doomed!
Thinking about it, he sneered and returned the banknote: "I don't dare to accept this banknote!"
He expressed his attitude, but to the ears of the wealthy businessman and the team leader, it was insufficient and more money had to be added.
A silver note worth a thousand taels was presented.
"Sir, there is no one around, so you can collect them."
The general of the city defense camp was also afraid that things would get serious, so Li Renjie brought it to His Majesty's face and lowered his voice to dissuade him: "Master Li, why don't you accept it and change it to a bigger house..."
"Don't let His Majesty know about this..."
"joke!"
Li Renjie smiled, but did not make a sound. The sound came from behind him.
Zhu Youde raised his head with a gloomy face, revealing his true face.
Immediately, the generals of the city defense camp were stunned!
