"Who are you?"
"Hey, what are you doing arresting my master?"
"Chen Liulong, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, is corrupt, accepting bribes, and selling official positions. We are the officials ordered to arrest and investigate him. Anyone who dares to obstruct us will be arrested and imprisoned." The official who entered the government office said coldly.
The Chen family members who had been howling loudly just now were suddenly frightened and fell silent.
Chen Liulong reacted and immediately cried out for justice.
But it's useless.
At the same time, several officers took them into the study to search. Not long after, they found a letter of appointment for an official position in the study.
"Found it, let's go!"
The police officer dragged Chen Liulong, who was crying out for justice, away.
This situation is not only happening in the Chen family, but is also happening in many other places at the same time.
The officers first arrested people and then searched the study.
Almost every official appointment letter with the official seal of the Ministry of Personnel was found.
at the same time.
Shen family.
Ever since Yang Zhao left last time and had all her "stuff" moved away and pried away, the Shen family's main house and the side courtyards have all been in a state of ruin, with leaks everywhere. Even the pond and flower gardens are dry and bare, with uneven ground and a devastated scene.
The women imprisoned in the Shen family were no longer as bright and beautiful as before. They all looked haggard, and some were even very pale and thin...
no way.
The women of the Shen family were besieged in the house.
Can't get out.
In addition, they had almost spent all of their dowries in order to buy official positions, and most of the remaining money was secretly taken away by some slaves. These days, they have been relying on the little money left to buy food and daily necessities from the officials to maintain their lives.
Of course, life can't be compared with the past.
It should be said that it is not even as good as my fingernails before, it is so painful.
In fact, they had thought about paying the officials, and they had also sent messages to their families for help, but all their requests fell on deaf ears.
No one's family showed up.
The women of the Shen family gradually became disheartened.
When they saw the police coming to their door, the women of the Shen family all shuddered.
Finally, Song came forward with a pale face: "Sir, what are you doing? The people in the backyard are all women..."
The officer frowned.
But he still answered her question: "We are ordered to search for evidence. If you don't want to cause trouble, please step aside. Otherwise, you will be imprisoned for obstructing public service."
"What, what evidence?" Song wanted to ask.
The officer was unwilling to say more.
With a wave of his hand, many officers immediately filed in and dispersed.
"ah!"
The young women were so frightened that they huddled in their mothers' arms, trembling.
They had no way to stop it, and no one even dared to step forward to stop it. At this time, the women of the Shen family couldn't help but think of Yang Zhao, who had been so fearless and protected them behind him...
When the official left, he also had several more appointment letters in his hands.
…
Outside the city.
A horse-drawn carriage was coming very fast, followed by a large group of guards.
"Faster."
Shen Pinglong, who was in the carriage, opened the window and took a look, then gave instructions to the driver.
"Master, we are almost at the city gate."
"Then hurry to the city gate."
The driver wanted to say that there were so many people at the city gate, and driving so fast might easily hurt passersby...
But after hearing what Shen Pinglong said, the driver didn't dare to say anything more and could only wave the whip vigorously.
Dada.
A cloud of dust rose.
"Make way, everyone, make way..."
At the city gate.
Many people were entering and leaving the city.
As the convoy was rushing around, many passers-by gave way. Some people who were unable to avoid it were knocked to the ground in a panic. Those who were carrying loads and pushing horse-drawn carts were unable to dodge in time and their goods flew out. The people were so angry that they kept cursing.
But Shen Pinglong in the carriage turned a deaf ear.
When the carriage reached the city gate, it was stopped by the city guard.
Lv Yu, the captain of the guards following behind the carriage, dismounted and stepped forward. "Sir, my master is from Yujiang. Our young master is a student taking part in this year's Spring Examination. My master has received news that something has happened to the young master in the capital. He is extremely worried. I hope you can be flexible."
After saying that, he turned sideways and handed over a bulging bag of silver and money.
In the past, the city guards would have accepted the money and then let it go, but it just so happened that the capital was currently cracking down on corruption.
The city commander weighed the money bag in his hand, his face suddenly turned cold, and he shouted angrily, "How dare you! Not only did you ride your horses to injure the people, but now you even dare to bribe an official in public. Come, arrest him."
What?
Lu Yu didn't react for a moment.
The defenders on all sides drew their swords and surrounded the city. The scene stunned the onlookers.
What’s going on?
When did these city guards become so honest?
"grown ups."
Shen Pinglong in the carriage finally couldn't sit still anymore.
He came out of the carriage and walked up to the city guard who had just spoken. He bowed gently and politely: "We have just arrived from Yujiang and really don't know the rules of the capital. I hope that you can show some mercy to me because I am worried about my son..." He calmly stuffed a snow-white ring into the hand of the gatekeeper.
Chen Pinglong felt that these city defenders just felt that what they had just given them was not enough, so they directly handed over the jade ring on their fingers. Money was really not a problem for him.
But the next second.
The city guard raised his hand and showed the jade ring aloft. "Everyone saw it. This man bribed me in public again. I seriously suspect he's a spy sent by another country, intending to enter the capital to commit illicit crimes... Quick, arrest him."
When Shen Pinglong was caught, he was still stunned! !
