Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

After saying that, he slowly turned around in the doubtful eyes of the two people, looked at the extremely miserable corpses in front of him, even more miserable than Li Wei's mother, and then slowly spoke.

"I want to see how cold it is in Yuzhou."

………………

I'm feeling a little unwell, so I'll update one chapter first...

Chapter 85 Joke (please subscribe!!!)

into the night.

Ping County.

Drunken House.

It has been reserved by a wealthy businessman and is the only private seat on the entire third floor.

"Come on, Master Luan, drink this drink!"

A middle-aged man with a goatee stood up and toasted to the parents of Ping County who were sitting not far away: "This drink is to honor Mr. Luan for fulfilling his official duties and doing his best for the people of Ping County to live and work in peace and contentment. It is precisely because of your kindness, Mr. Luan." Official, Ping County is as prosperous as it is today. Although I am not from Ping County, I still admire Sir Luan, a good official with both ability and political integrity."

Hearing this, Luan Yu was immediately elated, and a look of enjoyment flashed across his face, but he quickly calmed down, and then said with a humble face: "Mr. Liao, I'm very grateful. As the magistrate of Ping County, I naturally It is a matter of course to work for the benefit of the people of Ping County, and Mr. Liao should not be so boastful."

"Haha... Master Luan is indeed humble."

The two exchanged glasses and kept saying good things about each other. The atmosphere at the wine table became more and more cheerful.

After three drinks, Manager Liao finally got down to business.

"Lord Luan, I heard that you have been recruiting laborers recently and sent people to take those laborers to repair the fortifications at the Tianmen River Dam to prevent floods?"

"Haha... I really can't hide anything from you, Mr. Liao." Luan Yu smiled, and then said: "Yes, I did ask Master Gao to go to the villages near Qiongren Ridge to recruit laborers. Now those laborers I should be arriving at the Tianmen River Dam soon."

Upon hearing this, Manager Liao breathed a subtle sigh of relief.

Qiongren Ridge is not a good place.

Just like the "poor man's hill" described by its homonym, the nearby villages are poorer than the other, with almost no oil and water, extremely thin, unable to do any heavy work, and naturally of little value.

It's just right to send them there!

"Your Excellency is indeed loyal to the emperor and the country."

Manager Liao narrowed his eyes and praised.

"It's nothing." Luan Yu shook his head, and then said with a righteous expression: "The flood situation is becoming more and more serious. As the parent official of Ping County, I naturally have to make early preparations to prevent floods, so that I can give an explanation to the court. "

Hearing this, Manager Liao praised again, and then stood up again to pour wine for Luan Yu.

Then, he talked about another serious matter.

"By the way, Mr. Luan, the prince asked me to come over and ask you about the [food certificate] thing he told you before, but now..."

"Don't worry, Manager Liao!"

Luan Yu put his own vegetables in the bowl and said: "This is easy, absolutely foolproof. In two days, I will prepare the food certificate and go to Yuzhou City in person to deliver it to the prince's house. Manager Liao will be patient." Just wait.”

"That's it, Sir, I'm in trouble..."

Manager Liao said with a smile.

"Mr. Liao is so polite, come on, let's have a drink..."

The two of them exchanged wine for a while.

Just when the two of them were full of wine and food——

dong dong dong! !

Suddenly there was a rapid drum beat outside.

Under the thick darkness of night, the sudden sound of drums was like thunder, causing those who heard it to wake up instantly.

"Ok?"

The moment Luan Yu sobered up, his expression suddenly darkened.

Only the county government's Dengwen drum can produce such powerful drum sounds.

This is drumming to complain!

But in today's atmosphere, it is no different than slapping him in the face!

Manager Liao glanced at Luan Yu meaningfully, and then said with a smile: "Master Luan's Qingtian name is indeed well-deserved. It's so late, and there are still people beating drums to complain. It seems that the people love Master Luan very much." Woolen cloth."

Luan Yuqian shook his head.

"I'm busy with official duties, but it makes Manager Liao laugh."

"Ha ha......"

Manager Liao smiled and said, "This is a rare opportunity. I just want to admire your grace in handling cases. I wonder if Sir Luan can let me go with you?"

Luan Yu smiled dryly, then nodded and said, "That's what I meant. It's natural."

Soon, the two left Zuixian Tower and walked towards the Yamen together.

Although it was raining heavily outside, it was nothing to a magistrate who was extravagant enough to freely use spiritual stones on basic spells such as spiritual energy shield.

However, they did not notice that when they left the restaurant, several extremely agile figures suddenly emerged from the roof of the restaurant, then suddenly turned around and rushed towards the other side, where Luan Yu's mansion was located, and disappeared in an instant. In the vast rainy night.

Zuixian Tower is not far from the Yamen. It didn't take long for the group to arrive at the Yamen.

Then, everyone saw a bare-chested, extremely thin man, holding a drumstick thicker than his own arm in each hand and beating the Denwen drum desperately in the heavy rain.

Behind the man, hundreds of thin and ragged people gathered.

Next to the people, there was a rag, which seemed to be covered with something, showing some inexplicable and scary outline in the rain.

The man continued to play the drum, as if he was tireless.

The rumble of the drums was breathtaking and made Luan Yu feel upset.

He was already half drunk just now, and his interest was disturbed. At this time, he was naturally full of anger towards the person beating the drum, so he didn't bother to look around carefully, and shouted impatiently: "Who is beating here?" drum?"

With the blessing of the amplification technique, his voice clearly reached everyone's ears even in the heavy rain.

The beating of drums stopped abruptly.

The man and all the people turned their heads at the same time, looking coldly at the parents of Ping County who were once bigger than the sky not far away, with a trace of indescribable hatred in their eyes.

Luan Yu soon noticed their strange looks, and his expression turned cold immediately.

"Who are you? Why are you gathering here in the middle of the night? Is there some conspiracy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the official officer behind Luan Yu and more than 20 tall guards brought by Manager Liao stood up at the same time and stood in front of the two of them.

"We are villagers from Gou'er Village and Qu'er Village."

Li Wei put down the drumstick and walked towards Luan Yu with a heavy expression.

"stop!"

Seeing him coming, all the officials and the guards who were obviously somewhat skilled shouted angrily at the same time.

"Stop here!"

After Luan Yu heard him announce his identity, he couldn't help but be slightly shocked, and then frowned and asked: "Villers from Gou'er Village and Qu'er Village? I remember that I have asked Master Gao to recruit others to go to Tianmen Jiangda. The dam is helping to strengthen the dam. If you don't work hard in the dam area, what are you doing here?"

Hearing this, Li Wei and all the people immediately gritted their teeth.

Li Wei gritted his teeth and said: "I came here in the middle of the night, naturally to beat the drum and complain."

"I don't know how serious!"

Luan Yu shouted sternly: "Now that the water in Tianmen River is raging, the dike may burst at any time. In the face of such a catastrophe, all great grievances must be put aside. You are burdened with the heavy responsibility of water control, but you don't listen to the government's instructions and work for your own sake." Do you know what a serious crime it is to return to the county privately for your own selfishness?"

If it were in the past, faced with such righteous words and being slapped with such a big label, Li Wei would probably be dumbfounded.

but now......

His old mother, who had worked so hard to raise him, was forced to starve to death, so how could he care about anything else?

No matter what, he must seek justice for his mother who died tragically.

If the court cannot help him seek justice, then...he will use his own way to repay his mother for her years of upbringing.

So, facing Luan Yu's questioning, he stood up without flinching and stared coldly at the so-called parent official.

"The common people don't know, and they don't want to know. The common people only know that if they cannot state their grievances and seek justice for the hundreds of villagers in Gou'er Village and Qu'er Village, the common people will never rest in peace even if they die."

Luan Yu couldn't help but be surprised to see that he was not intimidated by his official power and looked unyielding.

However, it was just a surprise.

An ignorant Guizhou leader will die if he dies. Whether he can close his eyes or not is none of his business. What is there to care about?

"Humph!"

He snorted coldly and said calmly: "What grievances do you have, and who do you want to sue?"

After a pause, he said with disdain: "I would like to see how serious your grievances are. It can't even compare to the important matter of flood control. If you can't give me a reason to convince me, then, ha... ....."

At the end of the sentence, he sneered.

Obviously, at this time, no matter what Li Wei said or what reasons he had, he had already made up his mind to make these unruly people who dared to interrupt his reception of distinguished guests, spoil his elegance, and be so ignorant of praise, pay the price.

Hearing what he said, Li Wei was not afraid at all.

He is not even afraid of death now, so what does a mere county magistrate have to fear?

"Grass people, Li Wei of Gou'er Village, represents more than [-] villagers of Gou'er Village and Qu'er Village..."

Li Wei stood up straight and spoke clearly what the young and shameless big shot had taught him: "Suede Ping County Magistrate Luan Yu for corruption and perverting the law, for his own selfish desires, at the expense of the people's power, to levy labor privately, and to enrich the people by eating them." ! Sue Gao Ping, the chief registrar of Ping County, for abusing legal instruments, killing innocent people, and disregarding human lives. Sue Ping County Yamen officials..."

Luan Yu and others couldn't help but froze when they heard the extremely familiar names coming out of Li Wei's mouth.

After a while...

"Hahahahahaha!!"

As if he had heard some big joke, Luan Yu suddenly laughed wildly. He looked at Li Wei and other villagers as if they were looking at extremely funny fools.

Immediately afterwards, the other named officials and Manager Liao also laughed.

However, just when they were about to stop laughing and say something to these unscrupulous people.
