Hearing this, Yan Qing hurriedly said: "As the saying goes, when a gentleman sees money, he is like a mosquito seeing blood. There must be no ghost left before Yama. The master's wealth is more than hundreds of thousands, and such wealth can be put into Liang Zhong's book bag. He
Even if he knew that his master was unjustly accused, he would definitely not return his innocence, and he would probably take advantage of his mistake and kill him so that he could swallow up his wealth."
Although Lu Junyi didn't like to deal with those officials, he also knew how much money his family spent every year to manage those officials. He hesitated when he heard this, but thinking of his family's prestige in Beijing, he said: "My Lu family is also second to none in the city.
If I go to redress my grievance, the gentry in the city will definitely watch, and I understand that even Liang Zhongshu will not dare to accuse me unjustly."
After that, he turned around and headed towards the city.
Yan Qing hurriedly took a step forward, stopped Lu Junyi and said, "Master, think twice. Liang Zhongshu is a corrupt official. I'm afraid that he will be blinded by money and harm his master."
Lu Junyi thought for a while and said: "My Lu family has been running for generations, how can it be ruined just like this? I will go to the Yamen to beat the drum and redress my grievances, and you will listen to my news outside. If Liang Zhongshu really dares to harm me, you will go to Liangshan to find him."
Lin Chong and Wu Song, please lead troops to avenge me. The two of them are my junior brothers, and since we hit it off, they will definitely not refuse."
Yan Qing heard this and advised: "Since the master has such a connection with them, why not ask them to lead troops to attack Beijing and kill the adulterer and adulterous wife? Why bother to put yourself in danger?"
Lu Junyi shook his head and said: "My Lu family has been loyal for generations. How can we let go of the grass so easily? Don't say anything anymore. Just wait until I enter the city and you can go in to investigate again."
After saying that, he pushed Yan Qing away and walked directly to the city.
When they arrived at the gate of the city, the gatekeepers shouted when they saw Lu Junyi and surrounded him.
Lu Junyi did not resist. He cupped his hands and said, "Lu came to the city to go to the Yamen to redress his grievances. Please lead the way."
The Lu family has enjoyed great prestige in Beijing for five generations.
The guard officer saw that Lu Junyi did not show any timidity and did not dare to be rude, so he took Lu Junyi to the left-behind department.
When he arrived outside the left-behind department, Lu Junyi beat the grievance drum.
"Boom"
"Boom"
"Boom"
Some people on the street saw someone beating drums to express their grievances, and they immediately gathered around.
Not long after, an official came out and took Lu Junyi in. Some idle people also followed in and gathered outside the hall to listen.
Liang Zhongshu naturally recognized the richest man in Beijing, and was stunned when he saw that it was Lu Junyi playing the drums.
After Lu Junyi saw the ceremony, Liang Zhongshu reacted and shouted: "Bold Lu Junyi, you are a good citizen in this place, why did you go to Liangshan to Luocao? When you enter the city today, are you colluding with the rebels and planning to attack Beijing?"
Lu Junyi said hurriedly: "The villain was foolish for a moment and invited a Liangshan thief who was pretending to be a fortune-telling Taoist priest to his home. He mistakenly believed the thief's lies and was taken to the Liangshan River and put under house arrest for several days. Then he escaped while the thief was unprepared.
Come out. There is no evil intention, I am grateful and understanding."
Liang Zhongshu was shocked and shouted: "How can you make it so? If you had not colluded with the Liangshan thieves, how could the thieves let you escape so easily? Besides, your wife and Li Gu have reported you, and you have written
How can it be false to testify against the counter-poems of your mother and son?"
When Lu Junyi heard this, he hurriedly reported: "What I wrote to my wife was just an ordinary letter. I never wrote a poem."
Seeing that Lu Junyi still dared to deny it, Liang Zhongshu couldn't help but became furious and shouted: "I have sent someone to check that letter, and it is your handwriting. You still dare to deny it."
Kong Mu, who had collected Li Gu's silver, came up to him and said, "This guy is used to being tyrannical in Beijing. He is a naughty guy. How can he be willing to fight if he doesn't fight?"
Liang Zhongshu also felt that Lu Junyi was bullying him a little too much, and shouted: "Come here, give me a severe punishment."
After seeing Liang Zhongshu's order, the gentlemen immediately came up and pulled Lu Junyi over.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Lu Junyi hurriedly shouted: "I really haven't written any anti-poetry, sir. Can you please take it and show it to me?"
Liang Zhongshu also knew that Lu Junyi was not an ordinary squire. After he came to Beijing to take up a post, he had people carefully collect information about the squires in Beijing in order to collect money. The Lu family is the first-class rich man in Beijing, but five generations have lived in Beijing, which can be said to be local.
His prestige is very high, and his relationships are intricate. He also has friendships with several long-term ministers in the court who have become officials, which is not something he can easily control. Fortunately, the Lu family has many filial piety from him every year, so they are in peace with each other.
However, Liang Zhongshu took advantage of Lu Junyi's weakness this time. Although the Lu family's wealth had been confiscated for several days, the specific accounts had not yet been found out. However, just the number found made Liang Zhongshu very excited. With the Lu family's wealth, his
Even if my father-in-law Cai Jing lives to be a hundred years old, he will not have to worry about his birthday every year.
There were many people outside Liang Zhongshu's reading hall, and they were also afraid of upsetting the old ministers in the city. Nowadays, Cai Jing has become an official, so he has to be more restrained.
However, Liang Zhongshu was confident that he could leave Lu Junyi speechless and immediately asked Kong Mu to bring the sealed letter.
This Kongmu was cunning, and he was afraid that Lu Junyi would snatch the letter, so he asked several officials to lock Lu Junyi up. Then he took the letter to Lu Junyi and said, "You can see it clearly."
Lu Junyi did not look at the content of the anti-poem. He looked at the handwriting carefully and saw that it was just like his own handwriting. He couldn't help but be stunned.
When Liang Zhongshu saw Lu Junyi's appearance, he couldn't help but smile: "What? Do you recognize me?"
Lu Junyi came to his senses, thought for a moment, and said, "It must be Li Gu's forgery of the letter. I have many copybooks of mine at home, and he is often by my side. It must be that guy who forged the letter to harm me."
Lu Junyi only thought that the forgery of the letter was possible only because the people around him had seen it a lot, but he never expected that someone in Liangshan just saw a letter he had written and imitated it.
Liang Zhongshu shook his head and said: "Today, I will tell you to give up and send Li Gu and Jia to court."
The Lu Mansion was raided by Liang Zhongshu. Although Li Gu and Jia changed their residences, because Lu Junyi's case was still pending, they still recorded their new addresses in the Yamen to facilitate summons at any time.
Not long after, Li Gu and Jia were brought.
When Lu Junyi saw the two of them coming together, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, as if he was choosing someone to devour.
Although Li Gu and Jia had committed adultery, they were also very afraid of Lu Junyi's martial arts. Seeing Lu Junyi like this, he could not help but stop at a distance in fear and did not dare to come in.
Zhang Kongmu caught a glimpse of Li Gu's eyes asking for help, and said next to Liang Shicheng: "My lord, look at Lu Junyi, he is so vicious in the court, and he doesn't look like a kind citizen."
When Lu Junyi heard Zhang Kongmu's slanderous words again, he quickly suppressed his murderous intention and reported: "My lord, it is clear that these two people committed adultery and harmed the master. I was so angry that I couldn't bear it."
Seeing that Lu Junyi did not dare to act rashly, Li Gu and Jia came in and knelt down.
Li Gu kowtowed to Lu Junyi and said: "Master, since you have been caught, you can recruit him. The servants and coachmen who are traveling with you have already confessed that you joined the gang in Liangshan. How can the master hide it from the master who stayed behind?"
Jia also cried: "It's not that we want to harm you, we are just afraid that you will harm me. As the saying goes, if one person rebels, all nine tribes will be killed. In order to save your life, we have to report you."
When Lu Junyi heard the two singing harmoniously and accusing himself, he couldn't help but gnashed his teeth in anger and stared at the two.
"Pa"
Seeing this, Liang Zhongshu slapped the gavel and shouted: "We have all the witnesses, Lu Junyi, what else do you have to say?"
Hearing this, Lu Junyi hurriedly said: "It's true that the villain went to Liangshan, but he was made off by thieves. This anti-poetry was not written by me."
Liang Zhongshu shouted: "Li Gu, when and where did you get this anti-poetry letter?"
Li Gu heard this and said, "Did Lu Junyi have someone give it to me in Liangshan?"
When Lu Junyi heard this, he couldn't help but glared at Li Gu and said, "This is not the letter I wrote to you."
Li Gu nodded and said, "This letter was sent to you after we came down from the mountain."
"Giggle"
When Lu Junyi heard that Li Gu had framed him in this way, he couldn't help but clenched his fists in anger.
When Li Gu saw this, he hurriedly hid in fear.
Liang Zhongshu saw Lu Junyi acting violently again and again, and shouted: "Put Lu Junyi in the shackles for me."
When the gentlemen on both sides heard this, they immediately rushed up to grab Lu Junyi and put wooden shackles on him.
Lu Junyi did not dare to resist and said: "The villain only gave him one letter. This second letter must have been forged by Li Gu."
Li Gu heard this and hurriedly said: "Everyone who went with me can testify that Lu Junyi had someone send the letter."
Lu Junyi did not expect that people from Liangshan could imitate his handwriting, so he subconsciously said: "You must have bribed everyone to frame me."
Liang Zhongshu said: "According to what you said, have I also been bribed by Li Gu to frame you together?"
Hearing this, Lu Junyi hurriedly said: "The adults have a clear mirror, how can the villain dare to slander him?"
Kong Mu on the side fanned the flames again and said, "We have all the witnesses and material evidence, but this guy is still denying it. How can he be willing to confess when we don't fight him?"
Liang Zhongshu also lost his patience and shouted: "Hit me!"
Lu Junyi was still trying to figure it out, but the men on his left and right had surrounded him, dragged him to the ground, pinned him down in the hall and started beating him.
Lu Junyi did not dare to resist, he just complained about injustice.
Liang Zhongshu said impatiently: "This guy is full of nonsense, stop him first, and then let him speak only when he is willing to move."
The gentleman casually pulled the scarf off Lu Junyi's head and stuffed it into Lu Junyi's mouth.
The public got the hint from Kong Mu, and no matter how merciless they were, they beat Lu Junyi until his skin was torn and his blood was flowing out.
Lu Junyi was beaten until he fainted several times. Seeing that he was about to be killed with a stick if he didn't move again, he could only nod his head to indicate the move.
Liang Zhongshu was tired after waiting for a while. He had scolded Lu Junyi dozens of times for being stubborn. Seeing him nodding, he asked the servant to pick Lu Junyi up.
Liang Zhongshu shouted: "Are you willing to recruit me?"
The man on the side pulled the kerchief out of Lu Junyi's mouth. Lu Junyi sighed: "I am destined to die a sudden death. Now I give in."
After saying that, he glared at Li Gu and Jia and said, "You adulterer, Lu is waiting underground to see your retribution."
Kong Mu immediately wrote a petition and asked Lu Junyi to sign it.
Liang Zhongshu was very happy to see that Lu Junyi had been recruited, which meant that the huge wealth of the Lu family was no longer in dispute. At that time, Lu Junyi was nailed with a death row shackle and thrown into death row. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better
