"My lord, it's not that I don't dare, but the second son of Minister Chen is the General of the Central Army in the Zhennan Army. This young master Chen is the only child of the eldest wife, and the whole family dotes on him. If he gets the news and brings people back to attack me, it will be very bad for you, my lord!"
"To deal with the Zhennan Army in Xishu? What a coincidence! My eldest son also served in the Zhennan Army before and has some friendship with General Fan!" Qiao Xin said nonchalantly.
Normally, she was reluctant to use her power to overwhelm others, but at this moment, she didn't mind showing off her power.
Whose family doesn't have one or two officials?
Magistrate Lu looked up at Qiao Xin in surprise, and after a long while he heard himself ask, "The eldest young master..."
Qiao Yunqing looked him straight in the eyes and said proudly: "The former Zhennan General, now the commander of the Baijiang Navy, is my eldest brother, and the third brother of the chief officer in charge of Jiangcheng. I am not afraid of him, Minister Chen, let alone this beast in front of me!"
County Magistrate Lu's pupils shrank, and his back straightened instantly!
Oh my god, with a backer like this, there's nothing to be afraid of!
It's all because you are too low-key. There are rumors in the official circles of Yuncheng that their prefect is just a newly crowned champion born in a peasant family. He was not favored by the emperor and was exiled to such a poor and miserable Yuncheng.
Which idiot heard such news in the first place?
I will find him when I get back and kill him!
They just don't want to be too high-profile, playing the game of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. With such a family, how can they say that they are not favored by His Majesty? Then what are these people?
"Sir Lu, can I take on this responsibility?"
He is really capable, too capable. What is a minister? Even if the royal family members come, he won't be afraid!
"Does this high-ranking member of the Qiao family still catch the eye of Lord Lu?" Qiao Xin looked at him with a half-smile!
County Magistrate Lu nodded his head rapidly.
Yes, yes, yes, it's really possible!
County Magistrate Lu immediately stood up and began to order his subordinates to take action.
After all, who wouldn't want to make a career out of this as a sage? If the situation wasn't so bad, how could he allow the younger generation of the Chen family to do such atrocities in his territory?
It's not that the other party didn't try to get him to join, he just dodged it. It's one thing not to care, but to be willing to go along with this group of people is to be corrupt.
He, Lu Yan, also has his own bottom line.
The new governor is clearly willing to support everyone. If he continues to be timid, what difference will it make to him?
Thinking of the pile of memorials in his secret room, he knew that he had done nothing. It was time for the Chen family's crimes to be exposed!
........
The prefect came to Chenjiazhuang incognito, but encountered the son of Chen family who brought people to bully the people and raped women.
Now the Lord is in charge of the county government, and is going to redress the injustices of the people and handle cases. The news has shocked the whole area.
Qiao Xin led people to find the girl who was imprisoned and tortured in the dungeon of Chenjiazhuang.
The dungeon was filled with a foul smell, and water drops on the wall dripped onto the wet ground, making a dripping sound. Faint light came in from a small window high up, barely illuminating this dark space.
The walls were made of rough stones, cold and damp, giving off a chill. The walls were covered with moss and mold, making it look particularly eerie. In the corners of the dungeon were piles of old straw and rotten wood, giving off a pungent smell.
The ground was covered with water stains and dirt, and it felt sticky when walking on it. The walls were hung with all kinds of unspeakable torture instruments, which made people shudder.
Another exit of the dungeon leads to the wing rooms and guest rooms of the Chen Mansion. What does that mean?
it goes without saying!
Time seems to be particularly long here, and every moment makes people feel extremely tormented.
There were more than 20 girls imprisoned in the dungeon. Most of them were numb and silent. When they saw Qiao Xin and others coming in, they just slightly raised their eyelids and subconsciously shrank into the corner of the wall. There was no more extra reaction. Some girls were tortured to the point of insanity. Some were still missing.
"Sir, there are new discoveries in the flower garden and on the hill behind.
Zhang Yun endured the nausea and came to report.
According to the servants of the manor, the yamen runners dug up rotten bodies in the flower garden. All the bodies were found in the mountains behind Chen's manor.
In addition to the fresh corpses that were recently buried, there were also piles of bones lying under the Cheng family's flower garden, all of which had been severely tortured!
This time, the whole Fuliang County was in turmoil. The onlookers beat several wealthy men present until they were barely breathing. If the yamen runners hadn't stopped them, they would have probably cut them into pieces!
", Protect the scene, clear out the bodies, and have Lu Yan take the Yamen away. Also send a letter to Yuncheng, asking them to send someone over quickly., We can't rely entirely on Lu Yan's people."
"yes!"
"Mother, I'm afraid my son is going to poke a hole in the sky this time!"
The mother and son have the same temperament!
Qiao Yunqing gave instructions to his subordinates before speaking to Qiao Xin.
Qiao Xin didn't care. She couldn't stand the way these nobles treated the common people like ants.
It would be fine if she didn't see him on weekdays, but now that he dared to be so arrogant in his Qiao family's territory, don't blame her for being rude!
Qiao Xin was not surprised at all that he would make such a choice. She smiled at him and said, "Go ahead and poke it. If the sky collapses, there are tall people to hold it up. If they don't want to hold it up, I will hold it up with you! In the bright and clear day, there is no reason to let these evil spirits run rampant!"
