On the main street of Xingcheng, the people silenced themselves in the shops and pavilions. Hundreds of Shanshan troops and Lijun Qingqi surrounded a messy battlefield. Except for the broken-arm officials of Yongchang County who groaned in pain from time to time, there was no unnecessary sound.
.
The magistrate of Naxingcheng County knelt in front of Luochuan's luxurious imperial chariot, nodded to the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It's a humble duty... a humble duty..."
He murmured, trembling all over, unable to speak a complete sentence, and the back of his clothes was soaked with cold sweat.
Luo Chuan snorted softly and said, "I am a foreign governor who came to Xingcheng as a guest. According to Dading's regulations, I should not interfere with the political affairs of Yongchang County, but since the principal and accomplice of the Xingcheng treasury robbery case was me.
Liren, according to the customs of various counties, I, the prefect of Lijun, am qualified to intervene. You have just deceived me twice. Now, come and tell me what happened in the Xingcheng treasury robbery case. Remember, if you do it again
If there is deception, if this governor is weak and can be deceived, don't blame me for ignoring the friendship between the two counties... I will kill you!"
When the county magistrate heard this, he didn't dare to say anything. He kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic, "I don't dare to do this in a humble position... I don't dare in a humble position..."
Luochuan raised his head slightly, looked into the distance and said, "Say."
"Yes..." the county magistrate responded and whispered without raising his head, "About the summer four years ago, a batch of valuable properties were lost in the Xingcheng treasury, among which only demon pills and demon skins were lost.
There were more than 200 bones and other cultivation items. Once the matter was discovered, it shocked the government and the public. The prefectural governor strictly ordered the Xingcheng County governor to solve the case within ten days..."
Luochuan remained silent and motionless, like an iceberg.
The county magistrate continued, "After receiving the order, the county governor had to step up the handling of the case. The Silu's office and the county captain's office inspected the treasurer's office inside and outside several times, but nothing was found, only... only...
When the treasurer's office discovered that the treasury had been stolen...an oil lamp..."
"The oil lamp was old-fashioned and even a little damaged. After verification, it belonged to an inn in Xingcheng. At that time, except for a few individual guests, this inn only housed a group of people. It was from...
A caravan came from the county, and the oil lamp was exactly the lamp that was missing in the room where the head of the bodyguard bureau was escorted by the caravan..." The county magistrate hesitated and continued, "So Si
The law office then arrested all the suspects in the escort agency for interrogation, and finally...the escort chief confessed and was brought to justice...The case was thus concluded..."
Luo Chuan listened to the loophole-ridden process of solving the case, and his heart was full of peace. "Since it was a group of helpless out-of-town escorts who committed the crime, and the case was solved within ten days, the large amount of property lost in the Xingcheng treasury should also be considered as a crime."
It must have been recovered. After all, the demon elixir may not be big, but the skin and bones of the monster are certainly not small, so the stolen goods should not be transported out of Xingcheng by this group of outsiders."
The county magistrate was weak and thin. He had been kneeling for a long time and was nervous and fearful. He was already a little weak. "When I got back to the prefect, the Silu government office conducted an investigation based on the suspect's confession and found no stolen goods..."
"Absurd!" Luo Chuan suddenly became furious, "How could such a major case involving life and death be solved with just an oil lamp and no stolen goods? Just because the suspects were poor people who worked hard to earn hard-earned money.
Can human lives be taken lightly? Or, because they are from Liren and from other counties, they can be used as scapegoats at will?!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Silu's office... Treasurer's office..." The county magistrate didn't know how to argue for a while. The case itself was complicated and complicated, and the Yicheng prefect's office had already revealed it.
How can they delay the news to close the case as soon as possible, but how can they dare to say these things now...
"I only want to ask you one last thing, you'd better not lie to me," Luo Chuan squinted his eyes and looked at the county magistrate who was kneeling on the ground and couldn't help shaking, his voice was cold, "Are they...
scapegoat?!"
The county magistrate's body was shaking more and more violently, and he knelt there for a long time, unable to speak.
Luo Chuan stood on the carriage shaft and turned to face the county magistrate, looking down at him and said, "Say!!"
The county magistrate trembled and said quickly, "...Yes...!"
"Okay, very good," Luo Chuan laughed angrily. He pointed at the county magistrate on the ground and the treasurer's government official who had a broken arm not far away. "Chang Gong, take these people away," he added
He turned to look at the Yongchang County palace waiters not far away who were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and said to one of the leaders, "Tell your prefect Meng what happened here truthfully, and tell him that I, Luochuan, will wait for him to come to me."
A justice.”
The palace waiter knelt down with a bitter look on his face and said in a trembling voice, "Master Taishou, can you hand over these officials in Xingcheng to the custody of the Shanshan Army? After all, they are... after all.
....." "Leave it to your people to take custody?" Luo Chuan pointed to the civilians in Yongchang County who were watching the excitement in the surrounding shops and pavilions. "Tomorrow, just pull out a few scapegoats for me from these civilians?
!”
The palace attendant did not dare to speak any more.
Luo Chuan seemed to be still angry. He pointed at the old man who was kneeling not far in front of the carriage and said to everyone present, "This man is Li Ren, and he is an old soldier on the battlefield in the south of Li County!"
As soon as he said this, there was no sound everywhere. The old man who had been kneeling on the ground silently heard the words, looked up at Luo Chuan, and then lowered his head lower.
In the one year since the young Lijun prefect came to power, among the legends about him, except for the most famous words about the demon clan, it is his almost complete disregard for the Lijun military.
preference.
Luo Chuan raised his hand, and a string of pendants on the ground beside the kneeling old man flew into his hands. The rope of the pendant was just an ordinary red rope, and it had been cut off. The pendant on the red rope was a
A round medal like a silver coin, with a tiger descending from the mountain, lifelike, "This thing is called a Li Zhang. It can only be obtained by the border troops of Taiming and Baitong in southern Li County. If you have been stationed in the border town for twenty years, you can get a bronze medal. For thirty years, you can get a bronze medal."
load......"
He raised the red string silver medal in his hand high, "You can get the silver medal!"
On the long street, the people in the shops and pavilions suddenly started talking.
We are both border counties, how can we not know what it means to survive in a place like southern Xinjiang for thirty years.
So not only the common people, but also the originally indifferent Shanshan Army who surrounded the place, as well as the two hundred Lijun Qingqi in the Luochuan convoy, all looked at the old man obviously differently.
"Thirty years, how many thirty years can there be in life," Luo Chuan looked at the silver medal in his hand and said, "In the mountains of southern Li County, he faced Nanyi for thirty years, and for my Luo family,
Leave people for me and guard the borders for my human race in the world for thirty years!"
He slowly clenched the silver medal and looked around, "But when he returned home after a hundred battles, with injuries all over his body and this Li Zhang, who was the most glorious in my Li County, I learned that he
My son died in Yongchang County and Xingcheng, and became a scapegoat!!"
Luo Chuan glanced at the entire audience and was silent, "Tell your prefect Meng that if Yongchang County cannot give me justice, I will..."
"Come and get it yourself!!"
