After entering the government office, Lu Heng held the prince's hand and sat down together. ("")
Then when he was about to pick up the tea and take a sip, he found that the officials were still standing upright.
"Everyone, take a seat!" Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, then put down the tea cup and said to the officials with a smile.
Unexpectedly, after finishing speaking, the officials still did not move. After looking at each other, they smiled awkwardly and then continued to stand where they were.
Lu Heng frowned and couldn't help but think of what he heard from people in the city about the name of the Uncrowned King of Taiyuan Prefecture when he was on the road.
It is said that after the rebellion of the King of Jin was suppressed, the imperial court dispatched officials to Taiyuan and began to manage the post-war city. However, after the King of Shu began to dominate the country, he took advantage of the situation when Taiyuan was in dire need of manpower.
, placed his own personnel into the management of Taiyuan.
Recently, after the emperor fell ill, the King of Shu's reputation in the court became increasingly prosperous, and he seemed to be developing into a regent. Therefore, these guys who were low-key at first jumped out one by one.
Among them, Yan Guohui, who had just been promoted to the prefect of Taiyuan, was particularly high-profile.
This person had no other merits in Taiyuan Prefecture, but he had a knack for robbing money. Over the past few months, the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes had more than doubled, causing Taiyuan, which was prosperous when Lu Heng left, to be filled with public resentment.
However, this person turned a blind eye to these phenomena and continued to go his own way, imposing levies and extortionately.
Nowadays, the King of Shu is the only one in the court. This man is even more domineering. In Taiyuan Prefecture, he seems to have the status of being the first.
When he came, Lu Heng heard about this man's heroic deeds.
I didn't expect that this guy who lives impatiently would be so arrogant.
When the prince came to Taiyuan Mansion, he didn’t even urinate. The latest chapter of the Holy Church
How silly and bold!
Lu Heng looked at the local officials in front of him who had their heads lowered and remained silent in his eyes. He took a sip of tea, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he smiled coldly.
Beside him, the prince looked helpless.
After returning to Taiyuan, his life was not easy. He thought that he was also a prince, the heirloom of the empire. Unexpectedly, after coming to Taiyuan, the sky was not responding to the calls, and the earth was not working. Not only did no one listen to him
Yes, when I went out shopping, I was monitored and followed.
This prince is so cowardly!
After sighing in a low voice, the prince turned his head and secretly glanced at Lu Heng. Seeing a cold light flash in the teacher's eyes, the prince's face suddenly became happy.
After a while, Agui pushed aside the soldiers blocking the door and walked straight into the government office with a fierce and murderous aura.
Behind him, a hundred bandits who had followed from Yunshan Qingfeng Village broke in with murderous intent. Then, holding the hilts of their knives, they stood everywhere in the government office.
After Agui entered the room, he nodded slightly to Lu Heng, and then stood beside Lu Heng.
Lu Heng turned his head, glanced at Agui, then smiled slightly, picked up the tea, and took a leisurely sip.
After two cups of tea, Yan Guohui, the magistrate and magistrate who controlled the wind and rain in Taiyuan City, finally arrived belatedly.
At the door, a high-pitched chant was heard. Everyone turned their heads and saw outside the government office, Magistrate Yan Guohui, with a red face and a big belly. With the support of the servant, he walked in with official steps.
Entering the meeting hall, Yan Guohui still looked arrogant. He didn't even look at Lu Heng who was sitting in the front seat or the prince next to him. He just laughed loudly like thunder, talking to those extremely embarrassed officials.
Show off a famous prostitute whom you just favored in Rumenglou.
There were endless vulgar words and dirty words in the conversation. However, this fat man who was not far from death did not seem to feel the monkey-like gaze of Lu Heng from the main seat.
Still laughing, he patted a seventh-grade magistrate on the shoulder and warmly invited him to spend a good night together at Rumenglou after the meeting.
The seventh-level magistrate had a cold sweat on his face, smiled sarcastically, and allowed Yan Guohui to pat his shoulder vigorously, with a look of fear and helplessness in his eyes.
Subconsciously, the magistrate turned his head and glanced at Lu Heng.
This Lord Imperial Master had just come off the battlefield on the northern front. Although his smile was as kind as the legend, the dignified murderous aura he revealed unknowingly made people tremble with fear.
Especially those pair of extremely clear eyes, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. The cold light that shot out from time to time made people dare not look at them.
This is also the reason why the dozen or so officials in the room did not dare to speak loudly since they entered the room.
Lu Heng didn't expect this. But after seeing the troubled expression of the magistrate, he smiled slightly, put down the tea cup, raised his head and looked at the troubled magistrate, smiled, and joked: "Go, there is someone
Treating guests, eating, drinking and having fun for free, no fool would refuse to go!"
Seeing the county magistrate trembled all over and lowered his head in fear. Lu Heng sneered, then raised his head, stared at Yan Guohui, who was sitting on a chair on the side of the horse, and said: "Master Yan, I don't know
Does Lv have such a blessing that he can also go and have some fun?"
Yan Guohui took the teapot and blew on it. After slowly putting down the precious purple sand teapot, he smashed his mouth, turned around, looked at Lu Heng, and laughed, without any awe at all: "Of course.
Since your Excellency wants to go, of course I am willing to invite you!"
"You don't know how much it costs?" Lu Heng frowned and shook the tea cup in his hand, his eyes full of embarrassment.
Looking like this, in the eyes of everyone, he looks like he is short of money.
"Hi!" Yan Guohui looked at Lu Heng, with a flash of contempt in his eyes, but with a proud smile on his face, he waved his hands carelessly and said: "It's only a thousand taels of silver, a low-ranking official can afford it!"
"Oh?" Lu Heng was suddenly curious and said in surprise: "Where is this Dream Tower? What's so wonderful about it? It costs one thousand taels?"
"Sir, this is how ignorant you are!" Yan Guohui laughed loudly, and sarcastically mocked Lu Heng with a gun and a stick between his words.
"This Rumeng Tower was opened by the Persians. I also greeted His Highness the King of Shu and got his nod!" Yan Guohui seemed to think of the exotic brothel women in Rumeng Tower and licked his lips.
With a lewd smile on his lips, he said: "Inside, there are not only beauties from Dazhou, but more importantly, there are many foreign women with blue eyes and blond hair. That taste, tsk tsk, is definitely worth a thousand taels!"
"Persians?" Lu Heng said in surprise: "I heard that the Persians robbed a lot of goods from our Zhou caravan a few years ago. I didn't expect His Highness, the King of Shu, to have such means to allow these alien people to
You have surrendered to me, Da Zhou, and you have also served my man, Da Zhou. Your Highness is such a good person!"
"Of course!" Yan Guohui laughed unscrupulously: "How can we guess His Highness's methods?"
"That's true!" Lu Heng nodded with admiration, then thought about it, looked at Yan Guohui who was proud of the spring breeze, and asked with a smile: "I wonder, how many times has Lord Yan been to this Rumenglou?"
"Go often, haha, go often!" Yan Guohui laughed loudly, his big belly trembling.
"So, you can be considered a squanderer, sir!" Lu Heng's eyes gradually turned cold. He picked up the tea, glanced at him sideways, and asked with a sneer, "What a big deal!".
"It's just ten thousand taels of silver!" Yan Guohui was able to be misjudged by the King of Shu as his confidant, so he was certainly not a fool. He heard the dissatisfaction in Lu Heng's words. However, he was confident that he could control the situation, and he was still unscrupulous: "
It’s much better than some poor people!”.
"Ten thousand taels of silver!" Lu Heng sneered, smacked his lips, and after praising, he raised his head and looked at Yan Guohui: "If Lu remembers correctly, your annual salary is only a thousand taels of silver. But I don't know.
, where did these ten thousand taels of silver come from?”
"Of course Yan has a way to make money, I'm not worried about you!" Yan Guohui turned his head, stared at Lu Heng, and said tit for tat.
"Of course Lu is not worried, but..." Lu Heng squinted at him, turned around, looked at the prince next to him, and asked: "Your Highness, I don't know that an official of this dynasty accepted a bribe of 10,000 yuan."
If there are more than two, what crime should be committed? What crime should be committed if there is liaison with foreign enemies? Furthermore, what crime should be committed if one despises the imperial power and disrespects superior officials? What should I do if the three crimes are punished at the same time?"
After a while of questioning, all the officials broke into cold sweat, and a chill came to their foreheads.
Looking at the Imperial Master who still looked calm but spoke decisively without any emotion, the officials felt horrified and quickly lowered their heads.
The prince was also frightened by the teacher's cruelty. If the charges mentioned by the teacher were followed, not only would the entire Yan family be wiped out, but even the ancestors lying in their graves would not be saved.
but……
After taking one look at Yan Guohui, who had changed his expression, the prince suddenly rushed forward from the jealousy he had received in the past few days. He smiled coldly at Yan Guohui, then respectfully said to Lu Heng: "According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, three
The crime will be punished at the same time, the person involved will be put to death in a hurry, and ten tribes will be wiped out! If the officials are implicated, three tribes will be wiped out!!"
The prince said calmly, and then secretly glanced at the other officials. He saw that the officials' faces changed drastically and their bodies were shaking like chaff.
The prince smiled, then held up his hands and begged for mercy: "However, if the involved officials were forced to do anything, or if they have performed meritorious services, their culpability can be reduced as appropriate. If they have performed major meritorious services, they can also be awarded awards!"
After hearing the prince's strong and soft words, Lu Heng nodded slightly, feeling quite satisfied with the prince's carrot and stick methods.
However, his face still looked as cold as frost.
After stroking his chin and pondering for a moment, he turned his head and looked at Yan Guohui, who had stood up from the chair with a ferocious look on his face. He smiled slightly and said, "Master Yan, you heard me!"
"Humph!" Yan Guohui's face changed drastically. He glanced coldly at Lu Heng and the Crown Prince who were sitting on their seats, and casually said, "Yan is in a bad mood today, so excuse me!"
After saying that, Yan Guohui turned around and walked towards the door.
At this moment, Lu Heng put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at Yan Guohui and said: "Since Mr. Yan is here, please stay!"
