Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

After Lu Renjia finished speaking, he walked angrily towards the county government office.

Not long after, a group of people had already appeared at the gate of the county government office.

From a distance, Lu Renjia saw a circle of people around the gate of the county yamen, and occasionally two people with happy faces came out of the county yamen, and the people around immediately gathered around to ask what happened.

"What's the point of gathering so many Guizhou heads at the gate of the county government? Let the idlers retreat quickly!"

Lu Renjia issued an order a little irritatedly, and the people around him immediately stepped forward to evacuate the surrounding Qianshou, and then Lu Renjia walked into the county government office angrily.

"Liu Yang, what the hell are you doing, you bastard? Are you trying to rebel?"

Lu Renjia arrived before the sound of arrival, and just entered the gate of the county government office, the angry voice had already spread into the lobby.

At this moment, the lobby of the county government office is already full of people who have been arrested, and the courtyard is full of people.

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing the angry Lu Renjia and others, the county magistrate present quickly saluted and then stepped aside.

As soon as Lu Renjia came in, he saw Liu Yang sitting on the top seat, interrogating those kneeling below the hall with a majestic expression.

After seeing Lu Renjia coming in, Liu Yang didn't have any expression on his face, and he didn't even get up to salute.

"Lord Sheriff, I have been wronged!"

"I beg the governor to make the decision for us, we are innocent!"

"Your Majesty, I want to sue Liu Yang, the magistrate of Chengzhou County. He abused his power and oppressed me and the head of Guizhou wantonly. He is simply unworthy of being an official of the Great Qin Dynasty!"

……

Seeing Lu Renjia approaching angrily, the people kneeling in the hall hurriedly gathered around to cry for grievances.

"Liu Yang, shouldn't you explain to me what's going on?"

Lu Renjia gritted his teeth, looked at Liu Yang above and asked.

"Sir, the governor of the county, these people are all people who have violated the laws of my Great Qin, and my subordinates just brought them back for interrogation."

Liu Yang explained in a neither humble nor overbearing way.

"Breaking the laws of Daqin? Which one did you violate? So many people have been arrested?"

Lu Renjia almost laughed angrily, and arrested tens of hundreds of people at once. Could it be that they are going to rebel?

"Your Majesty, according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, those who bully or slander others in public should be imprisoned for three to seven days and fined. These people have all committed the same crime."

"what?"

Lu Renjia's fists huddled under his sleeves were almost clenched.

Of course he knew about this decree, but this kind of matter is usually settled by the Yamen to send people out, and most of them are resolved in private.

After all, things like bullying and slander can be big or small, it mainly depends on whether the person involved is willing to pursue it. If the person refuses to forgive, then he will naturally be imprisoned in the yamen.

But the problem is that it is not easy to define such things as bullying and slandering others. After all, many things are just one-sided opinions of others, and it is not easy to arrest people directly without evidence.

Not to mention that so many people were arrested at one time, it is hard to imagine that so many people were arrested for such a crime, and there was such a big commotion in Chengzhou City.

When Lu Renjia heard about it, he thought that some people were about to rebel, but it turned out to be such a trivial matter.

However, this matter also involved Bashi Commercial Bank, Daqin Restaurant and so many businessmen, and even the Supervision Department was dispatched, so it shouldn't be the reason Liu Yang said.

"Liu Yang, you'd better not lie to me. Can so many people be arrested for a mere charge of bullying?"

"My lord, the words of the subordinates are true, and they have been tried and investigated by the subordinates to confirm that they are correct."

"What about the inspectors? Even if it's a crime of humiliation, why should the properties of Daqin Restaurant and Ba's Trading Company be seized? There is no provision for this item in Daqin laws, right?"

"Your Majesty the Sheriff clearly understands that this matter has nothing to do with my subordinates. The seizure of the Daqin Restaurant and Bashi Trading Company's property is all done by the Supervision Department itself and has nothing to do with my subordinates."

"you put……"

In front of so many people, Lu Renjia almost cursed, but fortunately he stopped it in time. Even so, his face turned green and white, obviously very angry.

"Okay, since you said that these people were arrested for humiliating others in the street, what about the humiliated people? As the governor of Sanchuan County, I don't even have the right to intervene in the case, right?"

"Of course, Lord Sheriff can ask at any time!"

Liu Yang nodded. Although he is the county magistrate of Chengzhou, as Lu Renjia said, he is the governor of Sanchuan County. As Chengzhou City is the city of Sanchuan County, Lu Renjia naturally has the right to directly intervene in the case.

"Hmph, bring everyone up, who is the one to sue?"

Lu Renjia stood in front of the hall unceremoniously and asked about the identities of these people.

"Lord Sheriff, the accusers are not here. These people are all prisoners who were arrested after being interrogated by the subordinates."

"What? All criminals? Where's the accuser? Since it's an interrogation, why isn't the accuser here?"

"The plaintiff was unable to be there for some reason, but the subordinates have already understood the cause and effect of the incident, so they dealt with the prisoners instead of the plaintiff."

"Absurd, which article of the Qin Law stipulates that you can handle the case instead of the plaintiff? What's more, as the county magistrate of Chengzhou, you are not even present for the plaintiff. Do you have to give these people a lie based on your one-sided words? Are people convicted?"

"My lord, the evidence of these people triggering the law of Qin has been conclusive. The subordinates and the county officials of the county government have seen it with their own eyes, so naturally they will not falsify it."

However, it was impossible for Lu Renjia to believe Liu Yang's explanation.

Now he understood a little bit why Liu Yang made such a big fuss.

Although Liu Yang is really capable of making troubles sometimes, he is also a smart person. He usually prepares evidence before making troubles, and sends someone to notify him. At most, he will kill first and play later, and things are generally controlled within the controllable range. .

But the incident this time has obviously exceeded Lu Renjia's bottom line, and Liu Yang actually provided testimony for the plaintiff in person, which shows that his relationship with the plaintiff must be unusual, maybe it is Liu Yang's relatives or something like that .

"Unexpectedly, you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually bend the law for personal gain. It seems that the official has misjudged you!"

Lu Renjia thought to himself.

In fact, such things as favoritism and bending the law are not uncommon, no matter what time it is.

After all, as a Daqin official with great power in his hands, if his relatives were wronged, he would naturally favor himself in the trial.

But generally speaking, it is to deal with it a little lightly and not go too far.

But like Liu Yang, who made a fuss about the matter and arrested so many people, if it is just for his relatives, it is obviously against his principle of being an official, and even violated the law of Qin. If it spreads, It is obviously a big influence on Liu Yang's career.
