Chapter 029 I just don't want to make it easier for you
Seeing the two masters and servants singing and singing in the pavilion, Zhu Hansan was so angry that he almost cursed, "Why, sir, do I still have to report my money to you?"
"Xiaguan is stupid, please tell me clearly. Xiaguan just left Jing County two months ago. A wealthy family in Jingxian County was robbed. What does it have to do with him? Why does the prince ask this?"
Anyway, Zhu Hansan just wanted to pretend to be stupid. It was best not to take the initiative to bring up this kind of reason to incriminate him. He had to wait for the other party to say it before he could try again.
"Haha, I just want to know where Shopkeeper Zhu got the money when he went to Luoyang to seek an official position."
Liu Xu said pitifully: "If you, Shopkeeper Zhu, don't give me an explanation, then I have the right to detain you on the spot and send you to the Prefectural Shepherd's Mansion for questioning."
"Hey, two months ago, I was just a common man. Those wealthy households were robbed and magistrate Liu had to deal with them. What does it have to do with me? Besides, although you are a prince, you don't seem to have any
The right to openly detain an official of the imperial court without evidence? Besides, County Magistrate Liu failed to investigate the case first, so he should be blamed! How can you, Your Majesty, confuse right and wrong like this?"
Although Liu Xu was a prince, he only had the power to rent land. Local officials were appointed by the imperial court and were not under the jurisdiction of the royal palace. At this time, Liu Xu opened his mouth to detain him and kept silent to accuse him. How could Zhu Hansan be so passive?
He just kept silent about the money, so Liu Xu must have nothing to do with him. Besides, Zhu Hansan didn't want to be the official, or the time hadn't come yet.
"Shopkeeper Zhu, now the county suspects that you are related to the robbery of a wealthy family in the county two months ago! Please follow the county to the Yamen."
Liu Xu trembled all over after hearing this, and what Zhu Hansan said made him helpless. He immediately winked at Liu Yao, and Liu Yao understood, took a step forward, and said loudly.
"Fuck your motherfucker!"
For Liu Xu, Zhu Hansan could only use those rules and regulations to contain him, but for Liu Yao, Zhu Hansan did not have such a good expression. He got angry on the spot and shouted: "I am the newly appointed magistrate of Jingxian County by the imperial court. This time
The case has not been solved in the hands of you, Liu Yao, for two months. Now that I have taken office, I will naturally take over the case and continue to investigate. I heard that you, Liu Yao, were transferred to Julu County. Why, the officials of Julu County also want to interfere with our Anping country?
Something?"
"Zhu Hansan, you!"
Liu Yao was so angry that he gritted his teeth. After a second thought, he bowed to Liu Xu and said, "The official has concluded that Zhu Hansan is related to the robbery of a wealthy family in Jingxian County two months ago. Now I kindly ask the prince to assist the official in catching this thief."
"Anping country is my king's fiefdom. Although I only have the right to collect taxes, I can't bear to see such a giant thief appear in Anping territory. Where are the left and right? Let's capture this thief with me!"
Liu Xu was a high-ranking prince. He was offended by Zhu Hansan at first, so he naturally harbored a grudge. Now that Liu Yao, a prominent figure, was taking the blame for him, how could Liu Xu be so merciful and he directly ordered the soldiers around him.
"Bold! Let me see who dares to step forward?"
Zhang Liao was already furious. When he saw that the other party dared to attack, he stretched out one hand to protect Zhu Hansan and reached for the sword with the other hand, preparing to draw the sword to fight.
When Liu Xu saw Zhang Liao's action, he was immediately overjoyed and expected that you would draw the sword! If you really dare to draw the sword, then I can use the excuse of being disrespectful to the emperor to capture Zhu Hansan directly.
But Zhang Liao was still reluctant to draw the sword. This was something the drama director had solemnly explained before. Without his approval, the sword could not be drawn.
"Ahem
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
! Magistrate Liu is so majestic."
Xi Zhicai observed for a while and got a sense of Liu Xu's character, and then smiled.
"Who are you? Are you Zhu Hansan's accomplice?"
Liu Yao said angrily: "Come here, and I will capture this thief!"
Xi Zhicai's eyes made Liu Yao very unhappy, as if he had been seen through.
"I am from Yingchuan, Xi Zhicai. I am a small official hired by the county magistrate, Mr. Zhu!"
Xi Zhicai took a few steps forward, crossed in front of others, looked at Liu Xu and said with a smile: "It is said in the code that anyone who commits crimes should be submitted to the local government for review, and then reported to each level step by step. Your Majesty, you are of noble status.
But I don’t know what position Prince Liu holds in Jing County Yamen?”
"This king does not hold any official position!"
Liu Xu heard that the secret passage was not good, but he still replied truthfully, because he had seen Zhu Hansan's guards in the distance slowly walking towards this side. Although it was easy for him to capture Zhu Hansan, he was afraid of those
The guards will be against him. You can tell from Zhang Liao's performance just now. The guards don't care whether you are a prince or not. As long as Zhu Hansan is in danger, these people will definitely rush to rescue him. He doesn't want to cause trouble because of Liu Yao.
big.
"Since the prince has no official position in Jingxian County, why would he listen to the one-sided words of a Julu County official and attack the new magistrate of Jingxian County? This is unjustifiable for both sentiment and law, right? If things get serious,
Well, if my lord reports it to the court, it will not look good on you, my lord, right?"
Xi Zhicai looked at Liu Yao, who was livid with anger, and then looked at Liu Xu and chuckled: "I think Zhang County Lieutenant also knows a thing or two about how my adults are, so why do you, my lord, have to fight over such a certain matter?"
Woolen cloth?"
"Pa!" "Zhicai, be careful!"
Liu Xu was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped Xi Zhicai. When Zhu Hansan saw this, he quickly stepped forward and pulled him behind him, and received the slap for him.
The hot feeling almost made Zhu Hansan go crazy, but after seeing Liu Xu's gloomy expression, he still suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a smile: "I am not strict with you, I have offended the prince with my words, please forgive me! Please let me go."
Don't take it personally if you let him go this time. Afterwards, the official will definitely prepare a generous gift to thank you."
"I am a relative of the emperor and a clan member of the Han Dynasty. How noble is my status? How can this unknown person judge me?" Liu Xu is a prince after all. Although princes have not been popular in recent years, he is still a legitimate prince.
How could a prince with a fiefdom allow others to make irresponsible remarks? He immediately shouted: "Zhu Hansan, do you really think that becoming a county magistrate will make you arrogant and reach the sky in one step? What is my identity? What is your identity?"
Do you dare to argue with me as my equal? You are an ordinary commoner. You just boarded someone's ship for your good fortune. Now you are just a county magistrate who has not yet taken office. How dare you bark in front of me? If you are allowed to sit in Anping
Do you think you don’t take the position of the Prime Minister of the country seriously anymore?”
"Zhicai is a servant of the lower official. His mistakes should be borne by the lower official. I wonder how the prince will deal with it?"
Zhu Hansan felt aggrieved in his heart. After being slapped in the face and humiliated in such a way, if it weren't for Liu Xu's guards all around, Zhu Hansan would have really wanted to beat this bullshit prince severely. At worst, he would have to take off his clothes.
I no longer wear official robes, adhering to the principle that if you don’t leave me here, I will leave you.
"This king is a descendant of the Queen of Han Dynasty and has a noble status.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
, This son actually dares to utter arrogant words in front of this king, since you are his master, then you will be punished for him!" Liu Xu looked at Zhu Hansan with a gloomy look, and sneered: "If you are willing to have your tongue amputated,
If you are punished, I will no longer pursue this matter!"
"What?"
"What?"
Xi Zhicai was shocked when he heard this, while Zhu Hansan was stunned for a while. He really didn't understand what the punishment of amputating the tongue was.
"Just cut out the tongue!"
Seeing Zhu Hansan's confused look, Liu Yao explained with a sneer.
"Cut your tongue? What on earth did my retainer say that made it hard for you, Prince, to cut your tongue? This punishment is a bit harsh, isn't it!" Zhu Hansan secretly felt glad that he did not agree to it, and immediately became cold.
Face asked.
"The following offense is contempt for the emperor's relatives! Is this a serious crime?"
Liu Xu replied calmly.
"I don't know what I should do to avoid this punishment!"
After Zhu Hansan glanced at Xi Zhicai, his heart skipped a beat, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Please let me know for sure!"
"Shopkeeper Zhu, how can you be the magistrate of this county if you are ignorant, illiterate, do not know people well, and hire people inappropriately? I must go to the court and ask the emperor to take back the appointment!" Liu Xu said lightly: "Or maybe
, you, shopkeeper Zhu, are self-aware and willing to leave."
"I..."
Liu Xu's words can be said to be heart-breaking. They have made it clear that you will not be able to serve as a county magistrate.
"Sir, you must never agree!"
Xi Zhicai was deeply moved and urged him urgently.
"Yes, sir, you are the county magistrate appointed by the imperial court. How can you give up just because of this matter?"
Zhang Liao also followed suit.
"Hey! Zhu Hansan, do you think that after donating money and getting the appointment document, you really become the magistrate of this county? My prince is the King of Anping. In the territory of Anping Kingdom, who does he want to be the county magistrate?
Anyone can be the county magistrate. He doesn't want anyone to be the county magistrate. He can't do it. Listen to my brother's advice and give up! Wouldn't it be better to go to your small shop to do some carpentry work in peace and quiet? Yi Lao
Brother, it seems that that job is very suitable for you! When the time comes to pay the money as scheduled, who will make things difficult for you? You want to be a county magistrate and interfere in political affairs, but you don’t care how much you have?"
Liu Yao walked up to Zhu Hansan, leaned into his ear, and laughed softly.
"you!"
Zhu Hansan trembled all over after hearing this. Such an aggrieved thing happened to him, and he said it was impossible to give up in public. But if he didn't give up, Liu Xuding would interfere more, even if he escaped today,
In the future, he will find various reasons to exclude himself. He has encountered such a bad thing before he took office, but Zhu Hansan was so angry that he almost rebelled and turned into a bandit.
"My lord, Zhang Bao, a wealthy gentleman from Julu County, is looking for an audience outside."
Just when Zhu Han was in trouble, a soldier suddenly came outside the pavilion and said loudly.
"Zhang Bao? Why did he come to our Anping country?"
Liu Xu frowned slightly. In recent years, the Taiping Sect has become more and more active. He had also heard of Zhang Bao's reputation, and immediately ordered: "Bring him in!"
Not long after, Zhang Baolong was seen walking into the pavilion without even looking at Zhu Hansan. He chuckled at Liu Xu and said, "Zhang Baolong, a common man, has met Prince Anping!"
