Chapter 244 Injustice

"Is such that."

Gao Ming didn't show off and directly explained his intention.

"Just now, a young general from Yuzhou Guard Baihu led 30 sergeants and escorted 73 people to Beijing, accompanied by more than 20 common people."

After a pause, he continued: "The young general claimed to be Chang Yu, the eldest son of Zhang Shiping, the commander of the Yuzhou Guard. The person he was escorting was a prisoner of the Qingzhou Guard who disrespected military discipline and insulted the people after the army broke through the city. They served Zhang Shiping I have ordered you to escort the prisoner to Beijing, and ask you, Minister Lu, to come forward and uphold justice for these humiliated people."

Hearing this, Lu Chen was startled for a moment, but after a moment, his eyes lit up inexplicably.

This Shiping is a good man!

He likes to do justice and offend people so much.

After Gao Ming finished speaking, he looked at Lu Chen with a deep look on his face.

"Lu Shangshu, what do you think about this matter?"

As a senior official of the third rank who is in charge of Silihe County and is in charge of the civil affairs under the emperor, although he does not participate in court affairs very much, he will not fail to pay attention to the court affairs. As for the major events of the court today, except for the Tiangong Department and the Ministry of Works, which are busy Apart from the new projects being prepared, there is only the matter of countering the rebellion in Tianlan Province, which is thousands of miles away.

At the last moment when the rebellion was about to be completely subdued, the Yuzhou Guard, who was the leader, suddenly turned against the Qingzhou Guard and started fighting with each other. The other guards of the Qingning Army supported the Qingning Guard and went directly to the imperial court to jointly submit a letter requesting severe punishment.

Although this matter is still under investigation, no matter what the outcome is, it will definitely set off a huge wave.

Lu Chen had been the iron-blooded governor for a whole month. His political strategy could be simply summed up in four words - serving the people wholeheartedly. For this reason, whether it was King Yu, the officials of Yuzhou or the local wealthy families, who would dare to If someone stands in front of him, he will not hesitate to show the blade in his hand and fight to the death.

Basically, officials in the DPRK and people in the officialdom near Yuzhou have a deep understanding of this.

Now, under the banner of upholding justice for the people, Zhang Shiping directly captured the soldiers of the Qingzhou Guard and escorted them to the capital. Tang Bin and others took the lead in attacking again. Now it depends on Lu Chen's attitude.

Under Gao Ming's interested gaze, Lu Chen said without hesitation: "If this is really the case, then I will take charge of this matter!"

As he spoke, he stood up suddenly.

"Gaofu Yin, please take me there now. I want to inquire about this matter personally."

Seeing Lu Chen's decisiveness, Gao Ming put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile, "That's easy to say, Mr. Lu, please come with me."

Soon, Gao Ming took Lu Chen to Shuntian Mansion Yamen.

As the government office under the emperor's feet, the Shuntian government office covers a larger area than an ordinary state government office, so it is not easy to accommodate less than 200 people.

At this time, Chang Yu and others, whom they had not seen for a long time, were waiting patiently in the lobby.

Seeing Lu Chen coming from a distance, Zhang Yu immediately came forward with people excitedly on his face.

"I am humble enough to meet the Governor-General!"

Although Lu Chen has resigned from the post of governor of the two states, and is the minister of the Ministry of Industry of the current dynasty, a second-grade high-ranking official, in the hearts of a considerable number of Yuzhou soldiers and civilians, he will always be the iron-blooded governor who eradicated all injustice and darkness in Yuzhou. Therefore, in the title Zhang Yu, like the people who regarded Lu Chen as their savior, habitually wanted to call Lu Chen the governor.

Seeing him like this, others also bowed to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen didn't care much about Chang Yu's title.

He walked up to Chang Yu and looked around at the soldiers around him. He noticed that although they could not hide the dust of their long journey, they were all in high spirits and were looking at him with bright eyes, with a hint of heartfelt emotion in their eyes. With a look of reverence, he felt an inexplicable pain in his balls.

"Long time no see, Zhang Baihu."

After suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Lu Chen smiled and said hello to Chang Yu.

Seeing that Lu Chen still remembered him, Chang Yu suddenly felt like he was being taken seriously and felt very comfortable.

At this moment Gao Ming suddenly spoke.

"Lu Shangshu, if nothing happens, I'll take my leave now."

The Yin of Shuntian Prefecture has the responsibilities of the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture. Whether it is the Yuzhou Guard or the Qingzhou Guard, any conflict that occurs has nothing to do with him. Military affairs are not within his control. Although the oppression of the people by sergeants involves civil affairs, he can take care of it, but only in Luojing. , this matter has nothing to do with him and the Shuntian Mansion Yamen, so he naturally doesn't have to worry about it.

Of course, in name, Lu Chen, the Minister of Industry, the Secretary of the Tiangong Department, and the Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, strictly speaking, has no power to take care of this matter, but Xuanji Guard does! Who doesn't know that Fu Huan, the commander of the Xuanji Guard, and Lu Chen, the life-and-death friends, have such a good relationship that they can wear a pair of underwear.

What's more, Lu Chen himself was the most popular person in the dynasty and the only minister whom the Empress trusted unconditionally. If he really wanted to intervene in this matter, he could easily obtain an imperial edict from the Empress, and he couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.

Lu Chen waved his hand.

"Zhang Fuyin, please help yourself."

Gao Ming nodded, turned and left.

After Shuntian Prefecture Yin left with a group of officers, Lu Chen looked at Zhang Yu who was not far away in front of him.

"Gaofu Yin has already told me your purpose of coming."

He walked to the side and sat down at the root of a tree, then pointed at the more than seventy prisoners behind the crowd who were in prison cars and were already suffering from pain and exhaustion, and asked slowly:

"Tell me the details of what happened in Nanyang Mansion. What serious crime did these people commit? You are so angry that you turned on your colleagues with swords. Also, everything must be done with evidence. Do you have any evidence that these people are destroying the city? Then he wantonly insulted the people in the city?"

When it came to business matters, Chang Yu was not ambiguous. He immediately calmed down and responded in a deep voice: "Go back to Governor Lu, of course we have the evidence."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at the people on the side who were looking at Lu Chen curiously.

These people were men, women, old and young, mostly women. They were all dressed in linen clothes that had been washed white, with patches all over their bodies, calluses on their hands and feet, extremely rough skin, sallow complexions, and thin muscles. They were proper Daxia farmers.

Zhang Yu turned around and said loudly to the people behind him: "This sir is the Qingtian Master I told you before, who can make decisions for you. Why don't you come and greet me!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

When he came to Luojing, Chang Yu had already told them about Lu Chen's deeds and personality.

After hearing what Lu Chen had done in Yuzhou, the people were looking forward to meeting such a big man who was dedicated to the people and dared to uphold justice for the common people.

When they saw that Lu Chen was so young, they were suspicious for a moment, but now that Changyu directly revealed Lu Chen's identity, they finally came to their senses.

The next second, all the people immediately lowered their bodies, knelt on the ground, and bowed heavily to Lu Chen.

"The grassroots people have met Mr. Lu!"

"Master Lu, stay safe!"

Lu Chen gestured to them and said calmly: "Everyone, get up. I don't care about false gifts here, and I'm not qualified to receive such a great gift. In this world, the only people you have to kneel on are the Lord of Heaven and Earth, my teacher, and I am not among them." .”

Hearing what Lu Chen said, the hearts of some elderly people suddenly dropped slightly.

This impossibly young big shot seems different from the officials they remembered?

Soon, everyone stood up with different expressions.

"Your Majesty the Governor."

Zhang Yu gestured to the poor people and said: "The evidence that humble post mentioned is these poor people."

As he spoke, he turned his head again and raised his voice to the people: "Fellows, as I told you before, the Governor is a good official who is rarely seen in a thousand years. As long as the injustices encountered by my people in Daxia are Your Majesty the Governor will definitely make the decision for you, so you should expose the scum and beastly behavior of those Qingzhou Guards now and let the Governor know that as long as it is true, these scum who hurt you will all get the punishment they deserve!"

As soon as he finished speaking, just a few breaths later, two women gritted their teeth, stepped out of the crowd, and stood in front of the crowd.

They first looked at the prison van not far away with hatred on their faces, and then stared at Lu Chen intently. (End of chapter)
