Li Rui sat in the seat of the county magistrate and waited quietly.
The sky in the distance was turning fish-belly white. Outside the county government office, five hundred secret guards were waiting in formation.
The Prime Minister of Hongmen County, Ma Yuanshan, knelt down in the hall.
The atmosphere in the county government office was extremely tense, and one could even hear Ma Yuanshan's rapid breathing.
"Your Majesty, please rest for a while. It's already dawn. You haven't rested all night!" Ma Yuanshan's voice was trembling, and he felt dizzy.
But he could only say comfortingly.
Li Rui glanced at Ma Yuanshan quietly and said calmly: "I haven't arrived yet, so how dare I take a rest?"
"..."
The corners of Ma Yuanshan's mouth twitched violently.
But he didn't dare to say another word.
At this time, Xu Tong strode into the county government office, knelt in front of Li Rui and said, "Your Majesty, bring Zhou Darong here!"
"Bring it with you!"
Li Rui nodded lightly.
Then, two government officials escorted Zhou Darong to the lobby.
Zhou Darong was now trembling, and when he saw Ma Yuanshan kneeling beside him, he was suddenly a little surprised: "What the hell is going on!"
"Bold! Don't kneel down when you see the prince!"
At this time, Ma Yuanshan yelled angrily.
"Plop..."
Zhou Darong seemed to be frightened at this moment, and suddenly fell to his knees on the ground: "Common man Zhou Darong, please see the prince, the prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
"Zhou Yuanwai! I've heard of his reputation for a long time!"
After investigation, Li Rui also had a clear understanding of Zhou Darong's past. Zhou Darong was originally an ordinary wealthy family. Later, during the previous dynasty, his family donated a Yuanwai Lang to him when he was young.
This is a ridiculous thing.
However, after the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, such sinecures were not completely banned. This was because such people had no real power and only had a simple reputation.
If it is banned, it may cause some adverse effects.
When he grew up, he took over the family business. With this sinecure, he became even more lawless.
However, the entire Nanmen County will also give him some face.
"The common people don't dare!" Zhou Darong's voice contained a hint of panic, as if he had realized something, and his eyes gently drifted towards Ma Yuanshan next to him!
Ma Yuanshan was kneeling there and ignored Zhou Darong at all!
"A commoner? You are a member of the imperial family. You can be considered a sixth-grade official no matter what. But you are not a commoner no matter what!"
Li Rui's voice was somewhat indifferent, and then he continued: "Do you know Liu Miaomiao from Daliu Village?"
"Knowing, knowing..."
Zhou Darong hurriedly replied: "It was she who stole the ten taels of silver from the grassroots. After the grassroots reported it to the official, she also nodded and confessed to what she had committed. Now she is imprisoned in the county prison!"
"Oh? That's weird!"
Li Rui's voice was very soft: "This incident happened in Daliu Village, which is located in Hongmen County. Such a trivial matter of theft cannot cause trouble to the county government anyway, right? In this case, how can people be imprisoned in the prison of the county government?
inside?"
"Prince Qi..."
Zhou Darong swallowed nervously, with a hint of panic in his eyes: "The county governor, Mr. Lu, is an old friend of the grassroots, so the grassroots asked someone to ask Mr. Lu to take action to uphold justice for the grassroots!"
"oh?"
Li Rui smiled and said nothing.
Zhou Darong was kneeling there, trembling and uneasy. He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only glance at Ma Yuanshan again, as if asking for help.
"No hurry, no rush!"
Li Rui paused for a moment before continuing: "Master Lu should be here soon. At that time, I will question you carefully!"
Just at this time!
A loud voice came from outside the door.
"Lv Qing, the governor of Nanmen County, please see the prince!"
There was a ray of light in Li Rui's eyes, and then he nodded slightly. The guard outside the door let him in.
When he saw Li Rui, Lu Qing gently cupped his hands and bowed slightly: "My lord, I don't know why you called Lu Qing here so early in the morning."
His expression is neither humble nor arrogant.
His eyes were calm and composed.
Just standing there, I felt like a general.
At this moment, Li Rui felt a little unconfident. He nodded slightly, and then continued: "I remember that my order is for you to bring Liu Miaomiao from Daliu Village with you? Why?
Only you!"
"Prince Qi!"
Lu Qinghun didn't care: "After receiving the prince's order, the official immediately went to prison, intending to escort Liu Miaomiao to see the prince. However, things went against expectations. Liu Miaomiao had already committed suicide in prison out of fear of crime! This was the official's negligence.
, if the prince is to blame, I will bear the full responsibility!"
"Bang!"
Li Rui slapped the hall case hard.
Zhou Darong and Ma Yuanshan who were standing next to Zhen suddenly trembled, but Lu Qing stood there with clear eyes, like a tiger as stable as Mount Tai, motionless.
"What a coincidence. Liu Miaomiao committed suicide earlier without fear of crime, and later committed suicide without fear of crime. But just when I wanted to see her, she committed suicide because of fear of crime!" Li Rui looked at Lu Qing with a serious look: "Master Lu, don't you?
Do you think this is a bit too coincidental?"
Lu Qing stood there, looking cold and heartless. There was no regret or resentment in his eyes!
"Your Majesty, Liu Yiyi stole ten taels of silver, which is a huge amount. He has pleaded guilty in prison. The case has also come to light. The official's negligence led to Liu Miaomiao's death in prison. This is the official's fault. Please forgive me, Your Majesty.
Punish!"
While talking!
Lu Qing bowed and cupped his fists.
The voice is sincere and the posture is innocent.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Li Rui laughed a few times and said calmly: "Master Lu is the pillar of the imperial court. How can I punish Master Lu for a trivial matter? However, I want to see Liu Yiyi, whether alive or dead.
corpse!"
"Now that people are dead, where are the bodies?"
Li Rui's eyes narrowed slightly.
Although anger was already bursting out in his heart, he still had to suppress his anger.
Lu Qingnai is the county guard, and he is very difficult to deal with. It can be said that this county guard does things without revealing anything. From the time he came here to the subsequent confrontations, this Lu Qing can be said to have the upper hand in every aspect.
"After a flood, there is often a great epidemic!"
Lu Qing was neither humble nor arrogant, and still stood there, and then continued: "So, Nanmen County had issued a decree before the flood. All those who died, no matter where they were, no matter who they were, should be burned immediately to prevent the coming of the epidemic!"
"So, after the jailer discovered Liu Yiyi's death, he already burned Liu Yiyi's body!"
"At this moment, I'm afraid it's already a handful of loess!"
There was a hint of helplessness in Lu Qing's voice: "If the prince wants to see the body, I'm afraid he won't be able to see it!"
