Chapter 284: As expected, where there are more people, there are more melons
Meng Shanchuan acted quickly.
In just two days, all the bribery cases were uncovered.
"Your Majesty, it was Liyang prefect Hu Hanqing who took the lead in carrying out these evil practices."
"Come on, bring some people with you, I want to see him in person. I want to see who gives him the courage." Lu Yanshi was angry.
This Hu Hanqing was originally a county magistrate under Liyang City.
When he checked the evaluation results of Xichang officials, he found that Hu Hanqing had received good evaluations in terms of administrative processing and peer evaluation, but he had always been suppressed by his superiors, resulting in delayed promotion.
He thought this man was a man who could get things done, so he promoted him.
He didn't expect that this would be the way he repaid him.
Lu Yanshi was very angry.
He actually got it wrong.
Without Lu Li saying anything, Lu Yanshi took her along.
It is not easy to wrongly accuse someone when you have a daughter.
Lu Heng also wanted to go, but he failed the test given to him by his master yesterday, so he could only stay in the guest inn and review quietly.
Lu Qi and Jiang Heci went out to look around and inquire about the people's sentiments, to see what the people's attitude was towards the Liyang prefect, and to find out what they would think after returning to Daxia.
…
"Stop, who let you in?" A group of officers stopped Lu Yanshi and others.
"Let Hu Hanqing come out to see me." Lu Yanshi spoke with a gloomy face.
Outside the government office, he did not want to reveal his identity, after all, there were many people watching around.
"You are so arrogant that you even call the prefect by his name. I think you don't want to live anymore." The leading bailiff waved his hand, and his brothers surrounded Lu Yanshi and his group.
"Be sensible and give us some money for tea and water, and we won't send you to jail. If you don't understand, don't blame us for being rude."
Lu Yanshi was too lazy to waste time talking to them, so he made a gesture and the guards around him immediately took action.
These good-for-nothings in Liyang City were no match for Lu Yanshi's carefully selected guards. They were defeated in just two moves.
Qu Fufeng was so angry when he saw these arrogant guys that he kicked them hard as he passed by.
As a result, I accidentally stepped over my head and almost fell forward.
Fortunately, Meng Shanchuan was quick to help him.
"Thank you, Brother Meng." Qu Fufeng hurriedly thanked him.
Meng Shanchuan's mouth twitched: "Brother Qu, please be careful with your feet and don't let these things get in your way."
There was no way, Qu Fufeng was a favorite of the Emperor, he couldn't afford to offend him.
If it were his subordinate, he would have scolded the idiot a long time ago.
How stupid it is to kick someone and end up knocking yourself down.
The yamen runner who was kicked and stepped on: …
What do you mean these things are holding him back? It's obvious that the pretty boy stepped on him and couldn't stand steadily.
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Meng. I will pay attention to it." Qu Fufeng bowed, brushed off the dust on his body, and hurried to catch up with the emperor.
It is still safer to be around the emperor. He had been following the emperor closely before and everything was fine. But now he has fallen a little behind and it is not safe even if he kicks anyone.
Lu Yanshi didn't know what happened next. He had already entered Hu Hanqing's office.
"Who are you? How dare you trespass into a government office? Be careful or I will put your whole family in jail!" Hu Hanqing looked at Lu Yanshi with a trembling voice.
"Haha, I really want to know how capable you are to put my entire family in jail." Lu Yanshi sneered and showed his jade token.
Hu Hanqing looked confused.
What is this jade pendant?
Lu Yanshi frowned slightly.
All officials who see this jade token should know that it is the symbol of the Emperor of Daxia. How come this guy seems to be completely clueless?
"You can't even recognize the royal jade plaque, how can you be an official?" Qu Fufeng on the side couldn't help but complain.
[Of course he couldn't recognize him, because he was not Hu Hanqing at all.]
Lu Li didn't expect that she could eat melons when she came to the government office.
As expected, the more people there are, the more melons there are.
Lu Yanshi:?
How dare someone impersonate an official appointed by the imperial court?
"Catch him down, pry open his mouth, and see who gave him the courage to do such evil things in Liyang City." Lu Yanshi was afraid that the fake Hu Hanqing in front of him would influence his behavior, so he directly ordered the secret guards to tie him up and take him down.
"Yes." Chuyi responded, and went up to remove the other person's jaw, for fear that he would bite his tongue to commit suicide.
This fake didn't even have time to give the order to resist before he was dragged to the next room for interrogation like a dead dog.
[Why bother? Father, just ask me directly.]
Lu Li had already finished eating all the melons, and she couldn't help but take a breath of cool air.
[This guy is so bold and ruthless. ]
[He and Hu Hanqing met on their way to take up their new post, and they took the same ship to Liyang.]
【Hu Hanqing was in a hurry to take up his post, and he was always frugal, so he only brought one servant with him. This gave this bad guy an opportunity to take advantage of him.】
【Hu Hanqing noticed that the bad guy looked a bit like him, and many people on the ship said they looked alike, so he called him over to ask if the bad guy was his younger brother who had been lost when he was young.】
[The bad guy is really good at lying. He took this opportunity to deceive Hu Hanqing's trust and made Hu Hanqing think that they are really brothers.]
[But actually, they have nothing in common, they just look a bit alike.]
[The bad guy learned that Hu Hanqing was about to become the prefect of Liyang City, and he had evil intentions and wanted to replace him. ]
[He got Hu Hanqing drunk at night, tricked him onto the deck, and pushed him into the river.]
[Hu Hanqing's servants found out about this and wanted to report it to the authorities, but they were pushed into the river by the bad guys.]
[He took Hu Hanqing's appointment document and identity certificate, got off the boat in advance, rented a carriage and went to Liyang City to take up his post.]
[He had studied for a few years, knew a few words, and had been the Tongpan and Tongzhi of Liyang City.]
Lu Yanshi was full of doubts after hearing this. Are the officials in Liyang City so easy to fool?
How could I be deceived by someone who had never been an official?
【But it wasn't long before he showed his true colors. 】
[But the Tongpan and Tongzhi are not good people either. They colluded with each other and concealed the matter in order to undermine the power of the bad guys.]
[They even helped this bad guy to go to He'an County to kill Hu Hanqing's family.]
[Poor old Madam Hu thought her son had sent someone to pick her up to enjoy a good life, but in the end, all eight members of the family were killed along the way.]
When Lu Li saw this, tears welled up in her eyes.
How desperate the Hu family must have been at that time.
Lu Yanshi was so angry that he secretly clenched his fists. These beasts were so bold and presumptuous.
At this time, Chuyi had also finished interrogating the person and came back to report the situation.
"Your Majesty, that man is not Hu Hanqing, the prefect of Liyang. His real name is Luo Bian."
Chuyi told him what had happened, which was similar to what he had heard from his daughter's inner thoughts, but in more detail.
Thinking of those bullshit, Lu Yanshi nodded coldly: "Arrest the Liyang Tongpan and Tongzhi together. These beasts don't deserve to live."
No wonder the officials in Liyang City are so rampant. It turns out that their superiors have set the example for their subordinates, and the system is rotten from the very beginning.
