The Record of Righteousness

"Noisy! I represent the imperial court, how can I easily accuse a good person unjustly?"

"This time we will just take you for questioning. If you have no questions, we will naturally clear your name."

Leng Tiancun enjoyed the refreshing feeling brought by power. He felt very happy and spoke in a serious official tone.

At this time, Fanzi, who had been holding the horse for him, suddenly raised his head and gestured to Leng Tiancun with a flattering expression:

"Sir, it seems that these servants, maids, and the like are impersonated by thieves from Shandong."

The servants and maids around him were so frightened that they dared not speak out and became as silent as a cicada after hearing these words.

After hearing this, Leng Tiancun nodded knowingly, looked at the group of servants, and said:

"Well, what you said makes sense. The important place in the capital cannot tolerate negligence. Then you can bring a few brothers and arrest the suspects and wait for them to be punished."

"yes!"

The man leading the horse was called Li Guodong.

This person is extremely tactful and changeable, and is good at practical things. He pays attention to all the candidates for wealthy families.

Which family has a lot of money and no background, and which family has done something harmful to others.

This Li Guodong is a well-educated man who knows everything there is to know, and he has endless ideas for extortion.

It's just that I couldn't let go under Lu Jianxing. Now that I have a new backer, I naturally have to do something big.

When Lu Jianxing saw that Leng Tiancun was behaving like this, he had only been a small flag for less than half a month, and he was extorting money from door to door, tirelessly, and had the potential to make the most of his wealth.

As a result, there was a lot of public dissatisfaction in this area. Rich people with no background dared to be angry but dared not speak out. He really couldn't stand it.

Secondly, his subordinates also desperately wanted to get a piece of the pie, and they all wanted to work as servants for Leng Tiancun, and they were even more dissatisfied.

He immediately said dissatisfiedly:

"Brother Leng, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to do something like this. We have no basis and no evidence to arrest so many people and take them back. I'm just afraid that Shangguan will blame you."

Leng Tiancun disapproved, got off his horse, put his arm around Lu Jianxing's shoulder and walked to a corner, smiling and saying:

"Brother Lu, you must know that no matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. Besides, it won't do anything to throw them all into jail. At most, it will scare them. After their relatives pay the money, we will release them." It’s okay if people don’t.”

Lu Jianxing has been following Leng Tiancun to extort money for the past few days. He has been having trouble sleeping and eating, and he feels really guilty.

At this time, the guilt became stronger and stronger, and he said unmoved:

"No."

"How about I give you 30% of my money? Haven't you always wanted to be promoted to a hundred households? Your salary alone is not enough for Eunuch Li to have a meal."

"Thank you for your kindness, brother. I appreciate it. I can't ask for this money."

Leng Tiancun held back his anger and said sarcastically:

"Haha, why are you pretending to be a gentleman? Then why did you get the money from the previous payments?"

"To tell you the truth, I donated all the money as incense to the temple, and some of it was used to help some hungry people who were about to starve to death."

Lu Jianxing said honestly.

After hearing this, Leng Tiancun was quite shocked. He stared blankly at the man in front of him, thinking, is this man really a fool?

Although he thought so, he felt a little ashamed of himself.

But people always have to eat, and this feeling of guilt was quickly washed away by reality.

Seeing that Lu Jianxing was not getting enough, Leng Tiancun's eyes gradually became cold, and he no longer gave him a good look, and threatened:

"If there is a shortcut, you will not take it, but you will take the road of hardship and suffering."

"Don't forget, it was Eunuch Wan who asked me to do these things. If we don't pay enough this month, neither of us will get any good results!"

After saying that, he ignored the embarrassed Lu Jianxing and walked away.

But he said that Leng Tiancun was about to return with his men loaded with goods.

However, they discovered that there was a young man in luxurious clothes appearing next to the Mr. Li family.

He immediately asked:

"Who are you?"

The man was supporting Mr. Li with a worried look on his face, but when he heard someone asking, he suddenly stood up and said angrily:

"This is my dad!"

Seeing that the person in front of him was roughly the same age as himself, he pointed at Leng Tiancun with contempt and said:

"Aren't you just for money when you come to my house again and again? You are extorting and extorting in every possible way. You are in vain to be officials of the imperial court!"

The young man stared angrily. He was probably a scholar. He scolded people with plausibility, just like the endless flow of the Yellow River. He was quite upright.

"Kid, don't be rude!"

Mr. Li was tied to the ground and scolded with a glare.

Leng Tiancun's ears turned red after listening.

But it was humiliating to be refuted by this man in front of so many people, and he couldn't put himself at a disadvantage.

He immediately said coldly:

"Dongchang is doing things, and it's not your turn to dictate. Someone, please cover this man's mouth and take us back to prison!"

"yes!"

Li Guodong understood and led his men to make a fuss.

He immediately blocked the young man's mouth with a piece of rag.

He could only stare at Leng Tiancun with hatred in his eyes, still moaning incessantly.

"Sir, the dog is innocent. Just let me take care of the matter! This matter has nothing to do with him. Please be kind and let him go." Mr. Li begged.

"Cover this old guy's mouth too!"

Leng Tiancun was upset by their begging for mercy and insults, and his tone became impatient.

After sealing the mouths of the father and son, he felt that the whole world had become quiet.

Just as he turned over and rode on his horse, he suddenly remembered something he had forgotten. He slapped his head and remembered it, and quickly told his men:
