Chapter 407
When the officials heard Lu Heng's name, they burst into a rage, whispering to each other, and their eyes were full of shock and fear.
Why is Lu Heng here? What is he doing here?
The officials were panic-stricken, and a few people's expressions changed vaguely. Lu Heng was very satisfied with his popularity, he still said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, everyone, I'm not here today to investigate and deal with someone, but to hear. What do you guys think about Japanese pirates?"
No one spoke for a long time in the meeting room, Lu Heng walked to the main seat without rushing, lifted his clothes and sat down. After carefully cleaning the folds on his clothes, he raised his eyes and smiled softly at everyone: "Why, haven't you thought about it yet?"
"I don't know that Governor Lu is driving, but it's the fault of the lower officials." Yingtian Prefecture Yin spoke in an official tone, and said slowly, "Japanese pirates are rampant, and I can't sleep day and night, so I can't wait to drive them out of Daming. But There are dragons and crouching tigers hidden among the Japanese pirates, and many Dongying ninjas are equipped with the Qimen shield technique.
Lu Heng sighed and asked modestly, "Then what should be done according to the opinion of the governor?"
"Master Zhang Jin has been in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for many years, and he is familiar with the Japanese pirates' routines. He has a miraculous effect on the ninjas of Dongying. Master Zhang had already defeated the Japanese pirates, but unfortunately, he was hated by the Jian people and slandered, causing Master Zhang to be dismissed. This is really Wu Mu's hatred. If you want to resist the Japanese pirates, the best way is to release Lord Zhang and restore his official position."
Lu Heng nodded and sighed: "It's such a time, you still think about Zhang Jin. When Zhang Jin loses his head in the prison, I will definitely thank you for your help."
Ying Tianfu Yin's face was gloomy: "Dududu Lu is using the prison to threaten us? In broad daylight, we have no charges, so why did Dududu Lu arrest us? Is there any law in the world!"
As soon as Ying Tianfu Yin finished speaking, a group of Jin Yiwei suddenly broke into the outside. They were armed with knives on their waists, and immediately surrounded the council hall. The officials were shocked, Ying Tian Fu Yin stood up and scolded: "Lu Heng, we are the imperial officials, do you have an imperial decree to do this? You are detaining the imperial officials privately, do you want to rebel?"
"When do Jin Yiwei do things, when do they need a reason?" Lu Heng looked at the headless officials in the hall with a smile, and said leisurely, "If you want to communicate with Pang Yunqi, the commander of Jinyiwei in Nanjing, you can save your energy as much as possible. Last night, Pang Yunqi was killed by me at home, and now there is still his dead body in the Pang family."
When Ying Tianfu Yin heard that Pang Yunqi was dead, he was shocked: "You... what proof do you have to dare to harm your colleagues?"
"It's just because he has access to the enemy from inside and outside, and arranges the internal response, intending to murder Shangguan." Lu Heng raised his finger, and Jin Yiwei next to him immediately stepped forward, offering an account book with both hands. Lu Heng opened it and looked at it and said, "In October of the twelfth year of Jiajing, a traveling merchant brought in one hundred taels of gold, one hundred and fifty-six pearls, four corals, and ten pieces of Western gold tableware. Sir Chen, what is this? You businessman, so rich?"
Ying Tianfu Yin's face was like a cloud, he pulled his face and did not speak. Lu Heng turned a few more pages, closed it leisurely, and said, "Although Pang Yunqi is a traitor, Jin Yiwei has done a good job in his job. There are several ledgers hidden under the pillow, each of which is a large amount of gold and silver. This book belongs to Chen Fu Yin, and guess who are the other books?"
Needles were falling in the council hall, the air was heavy, and Yin Tianfu Yin unknowingly seeped sweat on his forehead, and shouted sternly: "You are spitting blood! The ledger that came out has framed me, and when I face the Holy One in the future, I will personally reveal your evil deeds to the Holy One!"
Lu Heng looked at him and smiled, and said with conviction: "Then I can't give you this chance."
Everyone still didn't understand what Lu Heng meant when they suddenly saw Jin Yiwei, who was behind the Yingtian prefect, stepped forward and stabbed the back of the Yingtian prefect with a knife. Ying Tianfu Yin clutched the blood in his chest and pointed at Lu Heng in disbelief. He opened his jaw and seemed to want to say something, but in the end his throat was blocked with blood, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
The officials backed away in horror, and the official standing beside Yingtian Fu Yin rolled his eyes and fainted.
Lu Heng finally laughed enough, withdrew his smile, and stood up expressionlessly: "I was ordered by the emperor to investigate the Japanese pirates, and I will kill you first and then file. Japanese pirates are rampant along the coast, plundering people's livelihood, and how many villages and prefectures have been murdered by them. But as local parents and officials, each one of you did nothing, and even sold your dignity to outsiders for a few silver coins. Ruining the people of the Ming Dynasty. You can stand here, each of you are full of poetry and books, Jinshi and the first, all the way to enjoy the reputation of a child prodigy. Could it be that in the book of Confucius and Mencius, you are taught to act like a tiger, to spoil the people and flatter outsiders ?"
Lu Heng's eyes were clear and his back was straight. When his eyes swept over, he seemed to be thundering, making people dare not look directly at him. Many officials bowed their heads at what Lu Heng said, Lu Heng clapped his hands, and a group of Jin Yiwei ran in with a stack of ledgers and a copper basin, placed them in front of Lu Heng, and then retreated in an orderly manner. They were well organized throughout, without a single extra move.
Lu Heng casually picked up an account book, paced slowly in front of the hall, and said to the people below: "Look at the things you have done, why do you still wear this black gauze hat? How many people are separated because of your wives and their daughters. You were bullied, your child was kidnapped, and what did you do? You made another astronomical sum in this account book, and your wife and mother bought another expensive dress. For people, today you turn a blind eye to other people’s wives and daughters, and in the future, it will be your wives and daughters who will be slaughtered.”
