Impulse is a devil. Chen Gui asked himself that his mind had been trained to be very tenacious, but at the last moment, he still couldn't help but be impulsive and openly threatened everyone in the yamen. That was to be an enemy of the world and cut off the possibility of reconciliation. Moreover, it was still in the hands of others. Chen Gui regretted it so much that his intestines were blue.

Thinking about the past, those people in the yamen who saw that they were not respectful and smiling. Now, they were so good that they were just bullied by dogs when they were locked in the prison. Even the little prison guards who were guarding the prison dared to shy their faces, and they ignored them and spoke too high. They just put a few harsh words, so they immediately carried a toilet full of feces and put it in the cell. Chen Gui almost vomited bile. Later, he licked his face and sent it to him, and then carried it away.

It's true that the little devil is difficult to deal with.

Chen Gui was in the cell, anxious and had no intention of thinking why Jiang You suddenly changed the world, and he was even less able to deal with the ungrateful wolf Cao Hu. What Chen Gui was thinking now was how to get out of it, his wealth, his mansion, land, and beautiful concubines were still waiting for him to enjoy it. It was a sad thing for people to live without money, but the money was still there, but the people were gone. It was not sorrow, but pain.

"Come, come, come," Chen Gui suddenly shouted loudly.

A yamen runner walked over with an unhappy look on his face and said impatiently: "What are you howling? I'm so mourning. Let's see how I deal with you again."

If I had the fate to live out and not make you lose your family's wealth, my surname would be Chen. Chen Gui was furious. This little prisoner dared to treat himself like this. It was a villain who was successful. However, with the lesson just now, Chen Gui was not impulsive. He reached out and took out a golden leaf in his hand. He handed it on it and said flatteringly: "Please inform me, Chen, please find the county magistrate and report something important."

Seeing the yellow golden leaves, the prison guard's eyes lit up and immediately snatched the golden leaves and stuffed them into his arms. The speed can be described as lightning and gained benefits. Then he said slowly: "Sorry, the county magistrate and Captain Cao have ordered not to let anyone see you, and also to fart your words."

After the prison guard finished speaking, he didn't even look at Chen Gui. He hummed a little tune and left, making a golden leaf out of thin air, which was considered a small fortune.

What? All about farting?

Chen Gui almost spit out the old blood. The Lu County Magistrate and Cao Hu were doing things too well. What happened to the county magistrate? In the past, although the yamen runners also collected some money and blackmailed some filial piety, these people also talked about professional "ethics" and collected money to do things. Unlike now, they only accept each benefit, and they turn their backs on others as soon as they are collected. Then the yamen runners are like this, and the same is true for these yamen runners.

It’s really not right and wrong. Chen Gui finally understood why the people don’t hate those who take money to do things, but those who don’t do things after taking money.

Chen Gui looked at the thick fence and then at the hay on the ground. He couldn't help but look bitter: he started from a small library and climbed to his current position. It can be said that he had spent so much effort and effort. He then recalled how glorious it was to have been to wipe out the entire county government and dominate the area in Jiangyou. Unfortunately, he met a guy who was skillful in the way of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger but didn't play according to common sense. He was at a disadvantage and became a prisoner.

They are all that damn Cao Hu, they are simply the opposite.

When Chen Gui thought of Cao Hu, he was stunned and a sense of inexplicable panic arose in his heart: except Cao Hu, the six-house officials, tax supervisors, post chiefs and others were all their own people. Why haven’t they seen them take action to rescue him? Could it be that... they were all bribed by Lu Haoshan and turned the gun to deal with him like Cao Hu?

The more Chen Gui thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable. The more he thought about it, the more he became restless. He walked around the cell with his hands behind his back, not to mention being too confused.

The sky gradually became dark, and torches were lit in the prison. At some point, an old yamen runner came in with a large food box, opened it quietly, and took out the things inside, including pig ears, roast chicken, fish, and a few exquisite side dishes. After setting them up, he took out a pot of wine and a wine glass, and then quietly filled it up.

As soon as these things were put on, the scent of wine and meat suddenly filled the cell, which made people drool. When Chen Gui, who had been hungry for a day, saw it, his saliva was flowing. Just as he was about to do something, he suddenly felt aroused: his eyes were wide open. If someone was here, he would definitely see that there was a deep fear in his eyes.

This is the slaughtered rice?

It is said that only those who are about to be executed will enjoy this treatment. Before he spent money, he gave such a sumptuous dinner. It was obvious that he wanted to look good on his own. In an instant, Chen Gui felt cold all over. Yesterday, he was still a mighty county magistrate. There were people everywhere to flatter him and have a good time. But after a day, it was like the gap between heaven and hell. This huge contrast made Chen Gui unable to adapt. I really hope that every game is a dream.

Unfortunately, this is not a dream. The moldy smell in the prison is so bad, the cold wind blowing from the skylight is so biting, and the wailings of the prisoners are so miserable. These clearly tell Chen Gui that this is not a dream. Jiang You, who is a dignified eighth-rank county magistrate, has now become a prisoner.

Chen Gui gritted his teeth, suddenly picked up the roast chicken, ate it desperately, and then ate a large piece of meat and drink. After a day of hunger, his stomach was already roaring. If he really wanted to kill himself, he wouldn't have to poison him. Poisoning was the most technical trick. There was no need to use this move. Besides, he really couldn't escape this disaster. It was better to be a starving ghost than to die of hunger. It was useless to eat it.

I really don't believe that they dare to kill themselves openly. They are the eighth-rank county magistrates. Even on the list of the Ministry of Personnel, they also have their own names. If something really happens, the Jinyiwei and the Ministry of Justice are either vegetarians, and they will have to peel off even if they don't die. As for the public trial of themselves, Chen Gui is not afraid. Anyway, he knows enough secrets and reveals them when necessary. Who is afraid of who is afraid of whom? Now that they are in this situation, those with bare legs are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

"No, not bad, County Magistrate Chen has a good appetite. It's indeed a character. He doesn't change his color before Mount Tai collapses. Lu admires this courage." Just as Chen Gui finished eating, a voice sounded in the distance. Chen Gui looked up and saw that County Magistrate Lu was walking towards him.

"grown ups"

"Meet the county magistrate." The two prisoners in charge of guarding the gate hurriedly saluted Lu Haoshan.

Lu Haoshan waved his hand casually and said, "Okay, there is nothing you have to do here, so let's go back."

The two jailers responded respectfully, then retreated quietly, and helped the county magistrate to take the door smoothly. At this time, we should come to see the prisoner, needless to say, we must discuss things.

These two guys are very smart and quite sensible.

"Why, Chen is a prisoner, or a county magistrate?" Chen Gui said with some sarcasm.

"Whether this is true depends on whether County Magistrate Chen is worthy of cooperation." Lu Haoshan smiled indifferently: "Of course, that is your freedom. We don't force it. A county Magistrate of the eighth rank is also considered a character, but for everyone's interests, it is best to have your cooperation."

Chen Gui stared at Lu Haoshan and gritted his teeth and said, "My surname is Lu, what do you want?"

"If an eighth-rank county magistrate is murdered, it is indeed very eye-catching. If he is rashly in the court and the inside story of the officialdom is exposed, it will probably affect unity and become the target of public criticism in the officialdom. Lu came to solve this problem." Lu Haoshan said lightly.

"How do you want to solve it?"

Lu Haoshan didn't say anything, took out a large stack of confessions from his arms, threw them into the jail, and then dragged them across a bench and sat outside the cell, looking at Chen Gui without saying a word.

"What do you mean?" Chen Gui said gritting his teeth.

"Mr. Chen, you should check out what is written on it first?"

Chen Gui was stunned for a moment, and did not speak anymore. Instead, he picked up the paper and looked at it. He looked pale. The records on it were all about his crimes, including the amount of corruption, evidence, the paper that sued him for taking human life, the confession of the accomplices and minions, etc., which looked shocking, even the confession of the evil slaves in the family. The most surprising thing was that there was a list of Chen's property on it, which clearly listed his own fields, shops, houses and other properties.

He was stupid and understood what was going on. During the few days of patrolling the township, the new county magistrate quietly attacked him and did not allow him to react at all. He had already completed the case. Seeing the extremely detailed information above, Chen Gui knew that not only Cao Hu defected to County Magistrate Lu, but most of his subordinates changed their courses. He didn't know what kind of benefits the Lu surnamed gave him, so he turned around and sold himself cleanly.

A good method, I thought it was a sloppy man, but I didn't expect that he was a master who pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger. I quietly pulled my own people over. It was ridiculous that I thought I was Jiang You's "local emperor" and covered the sky with one hand. Unexpectedly, I became a prisoner in the blink of an eye. Chen Gui's face was as white as a piece of paper.

"Okay, what do you want?" Chen Gui yelled with gritted teeth.

The face has been torn apart, there is no need to pretend anymore, Chen Gui no longer has hope

"Mr. Chen, I think you know your situation very well now," Lu Haoshan said expressionlessly: "Don't mention that the number of corruption is particularly huge. Over the years, there have been more than ten murder cases alone. According to the Ming Dynasty's rules, even if you have nine heads, it is not enough to cut them down. Once you have no power, the saliva of the Jiangyou people can drown you. Now it can be said that the iron evidence is as strong as a mountain, and the iron case is hard to turn over. How about it, do you still have to resist stubbornly?"

"That's right, Chen is in your hands. County Magistrate Lu, as long as you let me have a way out, I am willing to give my property with both hands." Even the ant was alive, Chen Gui was no exception. Now he has lost his power. If he wants to survive, he can only lose money and stop the disaster.

Lu Haoshan said coldly: "You are now a prisoner under the ranks. All your things are not yours. Why? You buy your life with things that are not yours? How can you do that in the world that is not yours? How can you be that cheap?"

What, the property under your name, if the name Lu is not yours? This is heartbreaking, and his heart is even darker than a bird crow. Chen Gui said frantically: "You have also received benefits from someone in Lu. If it is spread, your reputation will be damaged. Are you not afraid of exposing these in the public trial tomorrow? Then your official voice will disappear, how can you still be promoted?"

"I appreciate the reminder from County Magistrate Chen, but you won't wait until the moment when you open the court to try Xun." Lu Haoshan smiled strangely at Chen Gui: "There will always be some accidents in the world, right?"

"You, you, are you going to kill someone to silence me?" Finally confirming his thoughts, Chen Gui was so scared that he shivered, his body was shaking, and he was almost unable to support him.

The meal just now was really a slaughter.

Lu Haoshan shook his head: "Maybe County Magistrate Chen knew that he was guilty and committed suicide under guilt. He might not be able to thank the world if he died."

"What, do you want me to commit suicide? Why do I listen?" Chen Gui sneered: "Why? I don't even want to deal with it?"

"First, you have no choice. Now there is so much evidence, and I still have a large number of witnesses. Even if you have nine lives, you must not die enough. Second, County Magistrate Chen should understand that sometimes death is not the most terrible, but the most terrible is to implicate your family. I heard that County Magistrate Chen has an old mother in her 80s, several beautiful concubines, and four cute children. If they have an accident, I think County Magistrate Chen feels not feeling well. Oh, by the way, there are many mobs now. If you accidentally rush into your house, even the officers and soldiers may not be able to rescue them in time."

Threat, this is a threat of noon. When Chen Gui heard Lu Haoshan threaten him with his family, he said with a slight look on his face: "Mr. County Magistrate, the disaster is not as good as his family. Are you too shameless?"

"Hehe, it's so bad that the family is not as bad as the family," Lu Haoshan pointed to the paper in Chen Gui's hand and said, "No matter who Jiangyou offends you, it will be a disaster for you to destroy your family. Why don't you say that the family is not as bad as the family? Besides, there are not many good people in your family, and they all rely on your support and domineering. As long as you fall down, I don't take action, you think no one will take revenge? You have to figure it out that this official is giving you a chance. Even if you don't commit suicide, maybe there will be a fight in this prison before dawn. County Magistrate, be careful of those death row prisoners, they can kill people for a bowl of rice."

"You, what do you want me to do, tell me." Chen Gui finally understood Lu Haoshan's methods and begged for mercy with a dead face.

"It's very simple. Write a confession, fight against the past alone, and then go on the road with peace of mind."

Chen Gui bit his lips tightly, and his lips were bitten through, blood flowing, staring at Lu Haoshan, and said word by word: "What's the benefit of me?"

"Of course there are benefits." Lu Haoshan snapped his fingers: "Your family can move to another place with 20% of their property and live in another place. With your family's foundation, 20% is enough for their expenses, and you will never be hungry."

"What? Only 20%?" Chen Gui screamed in surprise.

Lu Haoshan sneered: "I said I'll give them 50%, can you believe it?"

Chen Gui didn't say anything. Indeed, his wealth was so rich that even 20% was enough for them to have enough food and clothing. If he had too much, he wouldn't believe it. The situation is very clear now. He died, but fortunately he still has a little value to use. When he thinks of his old mother and his children, especially his favorite young son, Chen Gui couldn't say it for a while.

For the sake of the family, I accepted it.

"Mr. County Magistrate, can you guarantee that after Chen does what you said, you can let them live a life?"

Lu Haoshan raised his hand and said, "The heaven is above. Every sentence I, Lu Wenhua, said is true. If there is a half false statement, you will not die well."

Anyway, he swears in the name of that unlucky person that he will not be able to repay him even if he has something to do. This trick has been tried and done by Lu Haoshan.

Seeing Lu Haoshan making a poisonous oath, Chen Gui felt relieved and suddenly collapsed on the ground, his eyes were dull, and he murmured: "I write, I write..."

Without that mysterious coat and the halo of the county magistrate, Chen Gui's essence, energy and spirit have obviously declined a lot, unlike the usual arrogant and arrogant county magistrate. He is clearly an old man who has lost confidence in inactivation. Under the fire, Chen Gui's face was full of sorrow, as if he had suddenly become more than ten years old, without any of his former charm.

The dust has settled, and the biggest and last "stumbling block" in Jiangyou County has been dealt with smoothly. Not only that, but we can also get a lot of benefits. With the support of this windfall, our plan can take another big step forward, and Lu Haoshan is very satisfied with this.

"Wait, County Magistrate Chen, I want you to write one more."

"What do you write?" Chen Gui has no ability to resist at all now. Anyway, Lu Haoshan does whatever he wants to do.

Lu Haoshan smiled slightly, and two words broke out from his mouth: "Disclaimer."
