With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

Wow!

The people talked a lot.

Chen Qingwan, who was mixed in the crowd, also didn't know why County Magistrate Lu did this.

Why did he let these two people get half of the pork each in the previous second, and then ordered people to arrest Li Si in the next second?

"Did you make a mistake, sir? I just agreed with your decision. If you want to arrest someone, it should be Zhang San!" Li Si froze his shaking body, stretched his neck and said anxiously.

Lu Yan narrowed his eyes and stood up from his seat.

Under the gaze of everyone, he walked down from the platform and walked step by step to Li Si.

"Li Si, do you think I can't judge you guilty without any evidence?" Lu Yan raised his foot and kicked him hard in the sole of his foot, and made him kneel down in front of him.

The long knife in Qingque's hand changed direction and fell into his hand.

"Yes!"

"Sir, you can't take revenge on Mr. Liu just because you have a personal grudge against him!" Li Si stiffened his neck and was about to get up when Qingque held him down.

When the people heard what he said, their eyes widened.

Just a few days ago, Lu Qingtian hanged Mr. Liu at the gate of the county government office. He didn't even take Mr. Liu seriously. How dare Li Si do that now?

Are you crazy?

"I just proposed that you two split the disputed pig equally. Your reactions are completely opposite to Zhang San's, and Zhang San's reaction is exactly what a normal person would do."

"Besides, according to what you said, you insisted that the pig was yours because the pig's tail had your Li family's mark. Does that mean that the pigs without the mark all ran away from other people and ended up in your Li family's pigpen?"

Lu Yan lifted his chin with the long knife in his hand and scolded him coldly.

Every word and sentence is sonorous and powerful, making people convinced.

"Wonderful, absolutely wonderful."

Looking at the person standing a few steps away from her, Chen Qingwan was extremely shocked.

She reacted instantly and realized that Lu Yan's method was extremely clever. That move just now almost blocked Li Si's retreat!

If Li Si insists that the pig is his, then the other pigs in the pigpen do not belong to his Li family, simply because the other pigs do not have the Li family's mark!

If Li Si doesn't want to lose so many pigs, he has no choice but to admit his guilt!

According to the laws of Daning, Li Si would be released after being imprisoned for five or six days at most, and he would only need to pay Li San a certain amount of compensation.

Otherwise, Li Si will lose all the pigs in the pigsty!

Which is more important? I think Li Si, even if he has no brains, knows what decision to make.

"Yes, I also feel like one or two of our pigs are missing. Maybe they ran off to Li's pigpen!"

"My family is also missing one or two..."

"And us, sir, our pigs are also gone..."

The people who were the first to react started to grumble and all stretched their necks to want to get a piece of the pie.

Zhang San also looked at Li Si, whose face was ashen and confused, with shining eyes. If he could exchange one of his pigs for two or three pigs, being locked up for a few days would not be a problem!

In this way, he paid off all the debts he owed from selling pigs!

"me......"

Li Si was sweating profusely, his mind was blank and he was at a loss.

This time he lost all his previous arrogance and sat on the ground lifelessly.

When he learned that Zhang San's pig had run into his pigpen, he immediately asked someone to stamp the pig, hoping to take possession of it.

Before this, he was even more proud of his foresight, but now he turned out to be too clever for his own good!

"I only give you two choices."

"One, admit to taking Zhang San's pig and remand in custody for ten days. Two, that pig is yours, and the rest of the pigs in the pigpen belong to everyone else."

Lu Yan looked down at the bewildered man in front of him, feeling somewhat exhausted in his heart.

Since becoming an official in the Da Ning Dynasty, he has been dealing with trivial matters like this every day in court, which really is a case of a hero being wasted his talents.

To this end, he also privately set up countless rules to govern the actions of the people and reduce trivial matters such as these.

But the people of the Liu family ignored his rules and challenged them countless times.

Not only did the lesson he taught a few days ago fail to serve as a warning to others, but today they even dared to bring it to court. It seems that he has to find a way to eradicate the Liu family as soon as possible.

"I, I plead guilty!"

Li Si's lips trembled and he lowered his head in defeat.

"Remand the prisoner Li Si into custody, return the pig to Zhang San and compensate him with ten taels of silver. Then adjourn the court." Lu Yan announced the verdict and casually stuffed the long knife into the arms of the constable beside him.

With his hands behind his back, he walked out with big strides.

Seeing this, the people blocking the entrance of the court turned sideways.

Lu Yan walked out of the county government office without looking back, and never glanced at the two people standing there.

"Lu Qingtian is truly worthy of being the great judge of Shannan County. He used a little trick to make Li Si confess his crime. If it were any other lord, they would probably side with Li Si."

"It's a pity that Your Excellency doesn't come to court very often, and we can't see Your Excellency's grace every day."

"We in Shannan County are lucky to have Lu Qingtian!"

The people also left one after another, and they couldn't stop praising Lu Yan verbally.

The constables in the court had also left.

In just a few breaths, the empty courtroom was left with only Chen Qingwan and Qiao'er standing opposite each other.

"I understand why Lu Yan is impeached by court officials every day." Chen Qingwan's smooth mouth corners rose slightly, and there was a hint of admiration in the depths of her eyes.

In a situation where officials protect each other, Lu Yan, who behaves eccentrically, naturally becomes a thorn in everyone's eyes.

Qiao'er pursed her lips and struggled to continue, "Master, if one person impeaches someone, it's false. But if a hundred people impeach someone, it might not be."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingwan smiled and left the court without saying a word.

She didn't know the truth of the memorial impeaching Lu Yan, but Qiao'er's confidence in saying that was extremely weak.

...

At this time, Lu Yan had already taken off his official clothes and was walking on the street in plain clothes.

"Qingque, go and investigate the origins of the two women who just spoke in the court." Lu Yan frowned slightly when he thought of the two women with extraordinary temperament.

He lived in a poor village in Shannan County and had never met any high-ranking official above the sixth rank. The only people he interacted with were merchants who reeked of money.

There wasn't a trace of money smell on the two women just now.

I just don't know what his identity is.

"Yes, my lord."

Qingque responded, turned around and left to investigate.

Lu Yan, who was alone, came to the wonton stall and ordered a wonton.

When the boss brought him the wontons, a figure sat down slowly in front of him.

"Miss, I don't want to share the table." Lu Yan took the chopsticks on the table and lowered his head to eat.

Seeing him like this, Qiao'er, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but frown: "How dare you! Do you know who my master is? How dare you speak to my master like this?"
