Chu Xian didn't panic in the slightest, but shook his head: "The lower official doesn't know where the crime is, and he asks Lord Lu to explain it." ”

"I don't know, Chu Xian, you are on either side, ruling a county, and this official asks you, what is the biggest thing about being a landlord?" Lu Cambodia asked with a sneer.

Chu Xian replied: "Naturally, the people who govern the land are the largest. ”

"Do you still know?" Lu Cambodia's voice increased a few degrees, and at this moment, he took out something and threw it over, and scolded loudly: "Look at what this is?"

That thing was a few pieces of paper, with a red patch on it, with something written on it, and it fell to the ground at the moment, and Qi Chengxiang, Jiang Yuan and others on the side wanted to help pick it up, Chu Xian stopped it, and then lowered his head and picked up the paper on the ground and looked at it carefully.

Above is a copy of the indictment.

enumerated many of his 'crimes', arrogant and domineering, corrupt and perverted the law, enriching his own pockets, and harming the people, in short, he was extremely slanderous. Of course, this crime is written at a very high level, and many of it are misinterpretations of Chu Xian's decree, especially Chu Xian's order to arrest the people of the villages who did not cooperate with the relocation decree, these are all facts, but they are just being used and making a big fuss.

In addition, there are many signatures, and at a glance, there must be thousands of names, all of which are blood-red, and if there is no accident, this is the so-called 'blood book of the people's wishes'.

After reading it, Chu Xian folded it, and Lu Cambodia said on the other side: "Chu Xian, what else do you have to say?"

Chu Xian shook his head: "There's nothing to say, there's nothing to say." ”

Lu Cambodia thought that Chu Xian had confessed his guilt, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Chu Xian say again: "Such an unfounded slander and slander, Lord Lu must be verified clearly before he can convict the lower official, and the lower official will make a statement and will definitely cooperate with Lord Lu to investigate the case." ”

After speaking, he said to Jiang Yuan next to him: "Lord Jiang, arrange the official residence in the county for Lord Lu to live, don't neglect Lord Yushi, oh yes, let the cook cook the dishes more carefully." ”

After that, he actually said goodbye and left.

At the moment, one of the people present was counted as one, and they were all dumbfounded and speechless, including the supervision of the imperial history, Lu Cambodia.

Jiang Yuan's mouth opened wide, and he could almost stuff a steamed bun into it.

They were all shouting in their hearts, Lord Chu, this is the Imperial History, how dare you say such a thing, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that Wu Xian's response seems, as if, maybe, and it is not wrong.

There are etiquette, there is attitude, and what Chu Xian said is also very reasonable, because if the supervision of the imperial history wants to investigate and deal with local officials for some reason, it must be to find out whether it is really involved in the case and whether it is really corrupt and perverted the law, so that there is solid evidence to convict people.

This is the rule, and it is also the process that must be followed.

The only thing that is abnormal is that Lord Chu is too calm.

Other officials, when they saw the supervision of the imperial history to check themselves, who were not frightened by the six souls, and even knelt on the spot to confess their guilt, because they knew that their affairs could not withstand investigation.

Chu Xian is completely different.

The officials who followed Lu Cambodia were all angry at the moment, and they said one by one that this Chu Xian was really arrogant and did not pay attention to etiquette, but after the supervision of the imperial history Lu Cambodia was stunned, he was not angry.

"Official, not afraid of danger, in case of major events, the mood is not chaotic, this Chu Xian, there is some meaning!" Lu Cambodia said, with a kind of appreciation in his tone.

Who is Lu Cambodia?

He is the supervisor of the imperial history, and sometimes, a pair of eyes with the holy power of official law can see whether an official has a problem and whether there is a ghost in his heart.

But today, he looked at Chu Xian, the other party's momentum did not fluctuate from the beginning, and he was awe-inspiring, and he did not feel the slightest guilt in the face of his own questioning.

This shows that either this Chu Xian's acting skills are super high, or he really has a clear conscience.

When he didn't see anyone at the beginning, Lu Cambodia really didn't have a good perception of this Chu Xian, after all, the blood book complained by the people was in front of him, and before, he had also visited some people on the road, and they were all very critical of Chu Xian.

But seeing the real person, Lu Cambodia knew that this matter really had to be investigated.

"However, the Imperial Historian, the official will be temporarily suspended, and he can no longer exercise the authority to govern the land, where is the chief secretary of Dinghai County?" Lu Cambodia asked at this time.

Jiang Yuan, who was sweating, hurriedly stepped forward to answer.

"From today onwards, temporarily remove the official position of Chuxian County, and you will act as the county official, as for the official position of Chuxian, it will be decided after supervision. In a word, Chu Xian was removed from his official position.

This is the power to oversee the imperial history.

is also why, the reason why local officials are afraid of the imperial history, below the eighth grade, people say that they are exempt. And under normal circumstances, the officials who have been dismissed by the imperial history have almost no reinstatement, because the supervision of the imperial history will not be untargeted, and there must be a lot of turmoil before a local official will be supervised.

The news of Chu Xian's 'dismissal' immediately spread throughout Dinghai County.

Some people applauded, and even a few wealthy families who had been expropriated before actually hired people to beat gongs and drums, some people regretted it, and some people were helpless.

Hearing this news, Chu Xian was not surprised.

This time, Liangzhou's supervising imperial history Lu Cambodia actually came, which Chu Xian did not expect, after all, at the beginning, Chu Xian was defending against the demon clan and the Heavenly Buddha Gate, but he didn't expect that in order to resist the demon clan, because of some government decrees, he would fall into passivity.

If there was no bloody letter of the petition, it would not have alarmed the supervision of the imperial history, and I just heard a few days ago that Lu Cambodia was here so soon, and the news would have spread too quickly.

Unless, someone deliberately sent the petition to the Imperial Palace.

No need to ask, it must be Wu Degui.

The other party's purpose is to attack himself and take the opportunity to seize power, and this trick is good to kill people with a knife. Chu Xian knew that in Dinghai County, Jiang Yuan and Xia Bozhong alone could already compete with Wu Degui, but Chu Xian didn't want the two of them to spend their energy fighting with Wu Degui.

What's more, Chu Xian is very unhappy now.

ignored Wu Degui before, it was not that Lord Chu Xian let go of Wu Degui in large numbers, but planned to put the other party aside first, and wait until the matter of the demon clan was resolved before turning back to clean up the other party.

But now, the plan has to be carried out first.

"Qi Dao Chang!" Chu Xian shouted at this time, and Qi Chengxiang immediately walked into the study from the outside, waiting for the dispatch.

"What I told you before, do it in advance. Chu Xian said a word, Qi Chengxiang knew what was going on, and immediately took the order and left.

Wu Degui's mansion, he heard that Chu Xian was dismissed from his official position by the superintendent of the imperial history, so he was naturally very excited, and excitedly set up a banquet to celebrate.

Wu Degui has already planned, he will go to the county government tomorrow, anyway, he was sick at home before, and now it is time for him to go out of the mountain again.

He is the county lieutenant, the chief officer of the county defense, and when the time comes, he will have to look at the affairs of the county defense, and it is easy to find out whether Chu Xian has filled his own pockets.

In this matter, Wu Degui felt that this was the case nine times out of ten, because this county defense was a fat difference in oil and water, and he could get a lot of money by hooking his fingers casually, and he didn't believe that Chu Xian didn't make any profits.

As long as one is found, Chu Xian's crime will be confirmed.

"The surname Chu makes you arrogant, this side is feng shui in turn. Wu Degui sneered, his sworn friend Zhang Zhong was on the side, and he naturally complimented Wu Degui.

At this moment, someone outside ran in in a panic.

"My lord, it's not good. ”

"What's the matter? Shouting, what kind of system?" Wu Degui was displeased and opened his mouth to scold, but seeing that the person was his cronies, his heart suddenly jumped, and he had an ominous premonition.

"Oh no, no, Cai Wenwen's family was picked up just now, and the people we were guarding over there were all knocked unconscious, tied up in the courtyard of Cai Wenwen's house, and their clothes were stripped naked. The cronie cried.

As soon as Wu Degui heard this, his face immediately changed wildly.

Even, the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground in shock.

"What, what's going on?" Wu Degui asked, and the cronie said, not long ago, several masked people rushed into Cai Wenwen's house, knocked their people unconscious, and then took away Cai Wen's old mother, wife and young son.

I don't know who those people are.

"It's broken!"

Wu Degui thought of something, and immediately got up and prepared to go out, but at this moment, someone came in in a panic to report, saying that Lord Lu was here.

Wu Degui's legs weakened and sat on the chair.

Lu Cambodia has no friendship with him, coming here at this moment, it must be because the person who came is not good, plus Cai Wenwen's family was suddenly taken away, Wu Degui is almost certain that Chu Xian is behind the ghost.

And in the other party's hand, he must be holding a trump card against himself, who would have thought that this Chu Xian would fight back so quickly.

Originally, Wu Degui also planned to find an opportunity to kill Cai Wenwen in prison, and he died unexpectedly, and there was no proof of death, but now, he was one step late.

His action against Chu Xian was fast enough, and Chu Xian's counterattack action was faster.

Lu Cambodia walked in, and behind him was a team of soldiers, and after coming in, he directly asked people to detain Wu Degui, which was different from Chu Xian, before someone petitioned to investigate Chu Xian, but he was suspicious, and there was no real evidence. But now Wu Degui is not like that, someone's report is with evidence, and Cai Wenwen in the cell also said that he wants to point out Wu Degui's incriminating evidence.

Cai Wenwen is an extremely critical person, he knows too many things about Wu Degui, so if Cai Wenwen turns against the water, Wu Degui will not have the slightest chance.

It's just that Cai Wenwen seemed to have been forgotten before, and Chu Xian didn't mention what to do with Cai Wenwen at all, so this also paralyzed Wu Degui, and when I think about it at the moment, it is beyond remorse.

However, Wu Degui knew that he might not have a chance, and the supervision of the imperial history had to confirm those indications, so he still had a chance, as long as someone helped him.

But if he wants to regain control of Dinghai County, it will be impossible, because in the process of verifying the evidence, he can't be the county lieutenant, and unlike Chu Xian, his situation is even more serious, Lu Cambodia not only dismissed his official, but also put him in prison pending trial.

This is called lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, if Lu Cambodia does not come, Chu Xian will use the same method to deal with him, but he can't do it, because he has to report to the city government, and the city government officials will come down to Dinghai County to deal with it.

It's better now, just bypass the city government, because the supervision of the imperial history has the privilege of being in charge of local officials, so even if the current Zhenxi city government wants to intervene, it can't do it.

"Okay, what a trick to kill with a knife. Wu Degui also reacted, that Chu Xian was borrowing strength, there was no Lu Cambodia, and the other party really didn't dare to deal with him directly, but when Lu Cambodia came, the other party dared instead.

This is not self-inflicted.

Wu Degui sighed, he bowed his head and was silent, with a look of defeat.
