Zhao Weimin and Wang He didn't expect Liu Xuan to be so arrogant. They glared at him and said,""Liu Xuan, how dare you talk about my court? I think you're tired of living. Just you wait. I'll impeach you when we get back to Chang 'an!”
Liu Xuan looked at them and smiled." I already know why you came to the Dragon Sect, so there's no need to put on an act. I, Liu Xuan, am not afraid of your impeachment. I just want to be fair to the people!"”
"Brat, brat!"
Zhao Weimin and Wang He cursed angrily.
Some of the surrounding commoners also understood at this moment that the two officials in front of them were deliberately finding trouble and provoking them!
The common people also participated in the construction of the dam. They took money and provided food for every meal. Almost all the tenants and common people in the outskirts of Longmen participated.
The result of more than a month of hard work, and you just shattered it?
Instantly, everyone surrounded him.
"Why do you have to knock down the river embankment?”
"That's right. We worked hard to build this river bank, and it's so sturdy. It's much better than the sand and stones that were randomly piled up in the past.”
"That's right. Are you two officials deliberately looking for trouble?”
"I think he's deliberately looking for trouble. I, He Wazi, will be the first to disagree with anyone who finds trouble with our adults!”
More and more people gathered around, each of them carrying hoes and rakes.
"I disagree!"
...
Zhao Weimin and Wang He's expressions changed.
"What are you doing? Do you want to rebel?" Zhao Weimin and Wang He's subordinates hurriedly blocked the commoners who had surrounded them.
Zhao Weimin and Wang He shouted angrily,"Let me tell you, you bunch of unruly people. We are officials of the imperial court's Ministry of Works. If we say no to the irrigation works, we say no!”
"Why?"
"Are the officials of the Imperial Court allowed to do whatever they want?”
"That's right!"
...
As soon as Zhao Weimin and Wang He finished speaking, the surrounding commoners started to clamor again. They all excitedly squeezed forward.
Zhao Weimin and Wang He's subordinates were frightened and quickly tried to block it with their lives.
"Impudent! Let me tell you, we are officials of the imperial court. If you don't retreat quickly, I'll arrest all of you!”
Wang He took the opportunity to shout at Liu Xuan,""County Magistrate Liu, are these the people you govern? Look at how each and every one of them dares to assault and beat up an official. These unruly people have seriously affected the security of Longmen County. You have to take responsibility. What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and capture their leaders!”
Liu Xuan did not move when he heard his words." They are all poor tenants. They did not bully others or act tyrannically. On the contrary, I think that they are all simple and kind people. Besides, they are right. We can't arrest them!”
Hearing Liu Xuan's calm words, Wang He's face turned red with anger.
"How dare you! Liu Xuan, are you openly disobeying orders?”
Liu Xuan was not afraid of him at all. He glanced at him contemptuously and said,""Disobey orders? You are an official of the Ministry of Works, and I am the county magistrate of Longmen. You are here today to investigate the situation of the Fen River flood. The governance of Longmen County has nothing to do with you, right? How can you disobey orders?"
"You, you…"
Wang He pointed his finger at Liu Xuan. He was so angry that his entire body trembled for a long time and he could not say another word.
When the surrounding commoners heard Liu Xuan's words, they all shouted,""County Magistrate Liu is a good official! We are not unruly people! You corrupt officials, get lost!”
"That's right, that's right!"
"Hurry up and get lost!"
...
When they heard the citizens clamoring to chase them away, Wang He and Zhao Weimin's faces turned green.
"Men, arrest the leaders of these unruly people!”
Their subordinate immediately rushed forward to capture him, but at this moment, Liu Xuan suddenly shouted.
"Let's see who dares!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Niu Debao and the others led a group of bailiffs and unsheathed their swords. They stood in front of the commoners and stopped Wang He and Zhao Weimin's subordinates from arresting them.
"Liu Xuan, you want to stop me?" Wang He's eyes widened in anger.
Liu Xuan did not avoid it." These people are under my rule. If Lord Wang wants to capture them, where will I be?”
"What if I insist?"
Liu Xuan raised his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Then let's try!"
"You…"
Wang He's face flushed red. He was about to order his subordinates to forcefully charge in and capture them.
But at this moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded.
"Stop!"
The noisy crowd instantly fell silent. Wang He and Zhao Weimin's expressions were ugly as they turned to look in the direction of the voice.
The crowd dispersed, and a group of people slowly walked over. The three people in the lead were two burly men on the left and right, and the one in the middle was thin and small. Although they were all old men, their auras were extraordinary, especially the clothes they were wearing and the jade pendants hanging on their sleeves. They were all extraordinary.
Liu Xuan smiled, not surprised at all!
Back then, he had sent two letters, one to Fang Xuanling's residence and the other to Duan Lun from the Ministry of Works. These three people should have come for these two letters.
At this moment, Zhao Weimin and Wang He spoke.
"Who are you?"
It was Duan Lun, Cheng Yaojin, and the other two. However, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong did not say anything.
After all, these two guys were officials of the Ministry of Works and were under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Works, Duan Lun. Didn't he see that Duan Lun's old face was already gloomy?
Let Duan Lun handle it personally!
Immediately, Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong stood at the side and sized up the people in front of them with a faint smile.
Liu Xuan could clearly feel the other party's gaze on him.
Duan Lun said to Wang He and Zhao Weimin with a dark face,""Who am I? I want to ask you, as officials of the Ministry of Works, since when can you bully the people as you please? And what right do you have to represent the Ministry of Works?”
Upon hearing Duan Lun's question, Wang He and Zhao Weimin's faces darkened." We are officials of the Ministry of Works of the imperial court, from Rank-6! And these unruly people actually dared to act so recklessly. So what if they were arrested? We are from the Ministry of Works, so we can represent the Ministry of Works. Who are you? Who told you to be a busybody?"
As officials of the imperial court's Ministry of Works, they actually didn't know the big boss of their own department. Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong looked at each other and chuckled.
Hearing Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong's laughter, Duan Lun's face darkened even more.
He naturally knew why the two of them were laughing.
Mocking!
