As soon as he entered the door, Liu Dou was stunned.
The scene before him was completely different from what he usually saw.
Chen Yu sat at the front, with the uniformed members of the Mingjing Division standing on either side. Zheng Shiduo and other dignitaries knelt on the ground.
"Master Zheng, what's going on? Who are you? How dare you act so rashly here?"
Looking at Chen Yu, Liu Dou asked.
"Are you the county magistrate?"
Chen Yu suppressed his anger and asked.
"Who are you? Do you dare to question me?"
"How dare you! Lord Chen is the current head of the Mingjing Division, Duke Wenxuan of the Great Qin, and the principal of the Sage Academy! Why don't you kneel down!"
Plop!
Liu Dou knelt directly on the ground and looked at Chen Yu in horror.
"You, you, you are Master Chen Yu? Your humble servant greets Master Chen."
Liu Dou's body was shaking and his lips were trembling.
"Do you know what the current situation is in Tianzhi County?"
Chen Yu asked coldly.
"Ah? The people of Tianzhi County live and work in peace and contentment. Everyone has enough food and clothing. Everything is fine."
Liu Dou spoke.
All around, the people from the Mingjing Division were angry.
Chen Yu slammed the chair handle and stared at Liu Dou.
"Don't you know that Mozhou is suffering from a severe drought and plague, and the people are in dire straits?"
"Don't you know that many people in Tianzhi County have starved to death in the streets, exchanging their children for food?"
Liu Dou was stunned.
"Is there such a thing? Since they are hungry, why don't they eat meat porridge?"
In one sentence, there was an uproar all around.
Chen Yu didn't expect that Liu Dou could actually say such words.
Why not eat meat porridge!
The dignified prefect of Tianzhi County, instead of going to provide disaster relief, came here to fight crickets.
He even said such words!
At this time, Shen Chen came over with a document in his hand.
"Master Chen, I just learned that Liu Dou bought this official position from Li Gao twenty years ago."
"For twenty years, all his food, clothing, housing and transportation were funded by the Zheng family. And he never worked in a courtroom."
Chen Yu's pupils shrank and he asked, "So what has he been doing for the past twenty years?"
Chen Chen looked strange and said, "Traveling, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, apart from business, he has tried everything he can do."
"For the past twenty years, the actual controller of the entire Tianzhi County has been Zheng Shiduo."
Chen Yu: “…”
"The orders of the aristocratic families are greater than heaven. So that's how it is, so that's how it is."
"Liu Dou, it's really unfortunate for the people in Tianzhi County to have an official like you!"
Staring at Liu Dou, Chen Yu gritted his teeth and spoke.
Liu Dou was so frightened that he dared not speak a word. He just crawled on the spot, motionless.
"You guys deserve to die! The weather in Tianzhi County needs to be changed!"
After looking at Zheng Shiduo, Liu Dou and others, Chen Yu shouted.
"Yin Zhao! Tie them all up and parade them through the streets to the execution ground!"
"Behead him in public!"
"Okay!"
Yin Zhao roared and immediately began to arrange this matter.
Soon after, the news spread throughout Tianzhi County.
When the people heard the news, they couldn't believe it at first.
"Is there anyone who dares to touch the Zheng family? Did I hear correctly?"
"Oh my god, why do I feel like I'm dreaming?"
The Zheng family’s status in Tianzhi County is too high.
Here, one may disobey the orders of the Qin Dynasty, but no one would dare to go against the wishes of the Zheng family.
In addition, several previous governors of Mozhou had never passed by the Zheng family alive, which made the Zheng family's prestige grow.
In Tianzhi County, who dares to go against the Zheng family?
"Let's go, let's go and see if it's true."
Everyone was excited and poured into the streets.
The prison van slowly approached from the distance on the street.
Zheng Shiduo, Liu Dou, and the dignitaries of Tianzhi County were all in the carriage.
They were handcuffed and shackled and looked terrified.
"Oh my God! It's true! This is true!"
"The Zheng family, the Zheng family's people have been arrested!"
"Hit him! Hit them!"
Someone shouted loudly, and the crowd was immediately excited.
Due to the severe drought, supplies were extremely scarce, and some people simply picked up stones from the roadside and threw them at these people.
When they arrived at the execution ground, Zheng Shiduo and others were covered in bruises and blood.
“Kneel down!”
With a roar, Zheng Shiduo and others knelt on the platform of the execution ground.
The platform is paved with blue bricks with dark brown marks on them.
In the past twenty years, anyone in Tianzhi County who offended the Zheng family would be dragged here by the Zheng family and beheaded in public.
Therefore, although this execution ground platform belongs to the Qin Dynasty, it has always been called the Zheng Family Platform by the people.
But unexpectedly, this time, it was not innocent civilians who were sent up, but Zheng Shiduo!
"Anything else you want to say?"
Chen Yu looked at Zheng Shiduo and spoke coldly.
Zheng Shiduo was trembling all over, his crotch was wet, and he could no longer speak.
"Since there's nothing else to say, let's get on the road."
"Get started!"
After receiving the order, everyone in the Mingjing Division prepared to take action.
"Wait a minute!"
A cold voice was heard from the distant sky.
Hundreds of people with immortal looks and fluttering robes flew down from the sky!
"Immortal! It's an immortal!"
The crowd exclaimed in surprise, and expressions of fear immediately appeared on their faces.
Zheng Shiduo's eyes lit up and he was so excited that he shed tears.
"That's great. I don't have to die. I don't have to die."
The person who came was none other than Li Chengshu, an elder of the Lihuo Sect.
Behind him were masters from some small sects in the surrounding area.
