Save the Villian [Quick Transmigration]

4.9 The villain king dominates me

Butcher Zhang said that Magistrate Lu came to Jincheng seven years ago. Everyone was very happy when it came. Because the previous magistrate often preyed on the common people, and the people were in dire straits, so it was not easy for him to change to a new magistrate, and everyone naturally welcomed him.

At the beginning, Magistrate Lu was not as greedy as he later was. Magistrate Lu was also a very talented person. Since Magistrate Lu took office, Jincheng has produced a champion. Magistrate Lu has never accepted money from wealthy households. During the holidays, he will use his own money to supplement the family's troubles.

All this changed three years ago, when Magistrate Lu married a girl from a well-known local family as his concubine. Magistrate Lu also benefited from it. Magistrate Lu followed the side chamber and began to live a luxurious and luxurious life. Soon the family's salary and money were not enough.

So Magistrate Lu began to accept bribes from aristocratic families and wealthy households to help them do things. At first, Magistrate Lu, who had received money from the imperial court, did not dare to be too obvious in corruption, but later he changed when nothing happened. It is often said that Jincheng was hit by a disaster and asked the court for money.

Sometimes he would privately increase taxes when he was unable to do so, and those people who complained against him were solved privately by him.

This time everyone heard that a high official came to the court, some kind of regent. Everyone didn't understand what a regent was. They always thought that the prince was the highest official besides the emperor, so they wanted to ask Yun Yi to do justice.

"Butcher Zhang, do you have any scholars here?"

"Yes, there is a scholar in the village who writes good articles."

"Then you ask that scholar to write down the evidence of the crimes committed by Magistrate Lu over the years and go to the Yamen tomorrow to beat the drum and redress the injustice."

On the second day, not only the scholars went, but also most of the people in the city came.

Magistrate Lu was picked out by the Yun Family Army while he was still sleeping and brought to the court.

Yun Yi showed the evidence of crime written by the scholar to Magistrate Lu.

Magistrate Lu immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. Please look into it."

Yun Yi sneered, "I have been wronged. Come here and bring the evidence of Magistrate Lu's crime."

Soon the Yun family army hid Magistrate Lu in secret. Gerry took out his account book, which recorded in detail the money collected by Magistrate Lu in the past few years.

Not only that, but a lot of gold and silver treasures were found in Magistrate Lu’s small vault.

With such irrefutable evidence, Magistrate Lu had no choice but to plead guilty on the spot.

Yun Yi took Magistrate Lu into custody and planned to escort Magistrate Lu back when he returned to Beijing.

In addition to Magistrate Lu, some of Magistrate Lu's lackeys were also arrested by Yun Yi.

It was unrealistic to send officials from the imperial city, so Yun Yi directly dug out the official assessment materials from Jincheng over the years, and really allowed Yun Yi to find someone who could be used.

This man was a teacher in Jincheng, and he was also the top scholar in the palace examination. When he returned to Jincheng to take up the post, he couldn't stand what Magistrate Lu was doing, and he had no choice but to resign and teach.
