Chapter 217 Punishment
After that, he ignored him and said to Chu Shiheng:
"If a county magistrate doesn't even know the population of the county under his jurisdiction, it's not impossible to remove him."
It was a very natural tone. If Lu Cunming didn't know who she was, he would be a fool.
So he immediately crawled to Yu Mengqing and shouted: "General Yu, you are very insightful, I..."
However, I couldn't say anything. Instead, I kept staring at Yu Mengqing, as if I was obsessed with her.
Seeing this, Yu Mengqing almost vomited the food she had eaten the previous night.
He has neither a good figure nor good looks.
Where does he get the confidence to think that he has the capital to make others like him?
It was good enough that she wasn't disgusted by him.
Looking at the fat man in front of her, Yu Mengqing felt more and more disgusted.
Seeing that he wanted to say something else, she interrupted him directly:
"What's wrong with you? If you think I'm not perceptive enough, then I'll give you another chance. If you can tell me the true population of Huo Lingshi County, I can take back what I said."
Yu Mengqing said these words very seriously, without any joking in them.
If he could speak out, she wouldn't mind giving him another chance.
At least in Yu Mengqing's eyes, he still took Lingshi County seriously.
I just didn't take it seriously.
But if he still couldn't say it, then she really couldn't be blamed.
If a county magistrate doesn't even know the population of his own county, then it's better not to be such a county magistrate.
She was a general appointed by the emperor himself, and also the legal wife of Chu Shiheng.
Between these two identities, no matter which one, it is more than enough to remove him from his position as county magistrate.
Lu Cunming raised his head, his face full of disbelief. She couldn't believe that these words would come out of Yu Mengqing's mouth.
In his eyes, shouldn't an ugly woman like Yu Mengqing rush up to a handsome man when she sees him?
Why is it not like this for Yu Mengqing?
Or maybe because of her status, she has seen too many men who are more handsome than him.
Thinking of this, Lu Cunming looked up at Chu Shiheng again.
He was very curious about what Chu Shiheng looked like.
I just came here in a hurry, and was so busy begging for mercy that I didn’t pay attention to what this legendary war king looked like.
But when he raised his head, he happened to meet Chu Shiheng's sharp eyes, which frightened him.
The whole person stood there, like a stone sculpture, motionless.
It looked like he was obviously frightened.
Seeing this, Yu Mengqing felt that this kind of person was a coward.
It was such a person who became the county magistrate of Lingshi County.
Thinking of this, Yu Mengqing curled the corners of her lips again, revealing a hint of sarcasm, and asked:
"What? Can't you tell?"
Seeing Lu Cunming's puzzled look, Yu Mengqing asked sarcastically.
He looked obviously surprised.
He probably didn't expect that these questions would come out of his own mouth, right?
That's right, in his eyes, I must be an extremely ugly woman.
Such an ugly woman is naturally easy to talk to.
In his eyes, an ugly woman like her should be the kind of woman who would pounce on any man she saw.
However, that is not what he showed himself to be.
So Lu Cunming was surprised, so surprised that he was at a loss.
"Since you can't explain it, then what qualifications do you have to be the county magistrate?"
Yu Mengqing looked at Lu Cunming with sharp eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, you are a county magistrate, but you don't even know the population of the county. Isn't this a dereliction of duty?" Guo Peiying on the side echoed.
After saying this, Guo Peiying turned to the nearby villagers and asked, "Do you think I'm wrong?"
But after she said this, none of the villagers around her spoke.
But even with this expression, Guo Peiying roughly knew what was going on.
Isn’t it just because you’re afraid of Lu Cunming’s revenge?
He's about to be fired, so why should he be afraid?
Besides, those villagers are afraid, but Guo Peiying is not.
Seeing that the villagers didn't dare to speak, Yu Mengqing didn't make things difficult for them.
Instead, he walked up to the villagers and said expressionlessly:
"You didn't say anything today because you were afraid he would repay you in the future. But have you ever considered that we are standing here today and will naturally uphold justice for you?"
"If you miss this opportunity, your life will continue to be just as difficult in the future. I believe you can judge for yourself what is more important."
After saying this, he walked around the people in a serious manner. Seeing that no one spoke, he continued:
"Of course, if you don't say anything, then we won't pay any attention for now. But from now on, he will still be your county magistrate, and your life may even be worse than it is now. Do you want to continue living like this?"
It’s not that Yu Mengqing insisted that they say it.
But Yu Mengqing knew that if she wanted to remove Lu Cunming from his position as county magistrate, she must have a reasonable excuse.
Otherwise, this matter will definitely cause criticism in the future.
This is not the result Yu Mengqing wanted.
She either doesn't do it, or if she does, she must do it to the best of her ability.
After hearing Yu Mengqing's words, a large number of villagers in the crowd began to get restless.
Obviously, they have been gradually attracted by Yu Mengqing's words.
I don’t know if he saw something, but he slowly shrank back.
Seeing this, Yu Mengqing immediately turned around and looked at Lu Cunming with sharp eyes.
Sure enough, he met Lu Cunming's fierce eyes.
Yu Mengqing curled the corners of her lips without saying anything, but just walked lightly to Lu Cunming.
Then he stepped on his back and said gloomily:
"I, Yu Mengqing, hate those who bully the weak the most. I was planning to give you another chance, but it's obvious that you didn't cherish it."
The foot that was stepping on his back gradually exerted force.
There was an illusion that Lu Cunming was going to be trampled to death on the ground.
"General Yu, spare my life... spare my life..."
"Spare my life? Do you deserve it? Just look at these villagers and I know how you oppress them on a daily basis. Considering your physique, it's not hard to guess that you must have plundered a lot of the people's wealth on a daily basis, right?"
Seeing Yu Mengqing say this, she looked like she was determined to make the decision for them.
The surrounding villagers also began to relax and started talking about it.
"Isn't it? Uncle Wang's daughter was forcibly taken back by him as a concubine. In less than a year, he..."
The villagers didn't say what he did to them, but Yu Mengqing was not stupid, so she could naturally think of what would happen next.
"And the daughter of Aunt Huang, isn't it the same? He just took advantage of Aunt Huang's lack of a man in the family and snatched her daughter away, saying she was going to be his concubine. But only a year has passed, and... just..."
"That's fine, but he eats all the chickens and ducks raised at home."
"That's right. We couldn't bear to eat it ourselves. We only had an old hen at home for laying eggs. He asked for it. That old hen was a laying hen that our family had saved a lot of money to keep. That's it..."
"Please ask Prince Zhan and Princess Zhan to make the decision for you..."
At this point, the villagers had already knelt down in front of them.
