"We are ordered to arrest the Shaanxi Inspector Censor Lu Zhonghe. As soldiers of the court, we should immediately put down our weapons and not be disturbed!"

As soon as Wang Yangming arrived in Shangzhou, he immediately sent troops to surround Lu Zhonghe's residence.

The inspector had soldiers, so Wang Yangming had to take out an imperial edict and declare his order to the officers and soldiers under the inspector Lu Zhonghe.

Seeing this, the officers and soldiers under the Inspector Censor Lu Zhonghe had to obey. After all, although the Inspector Censor had soldiers, it was also given by the court, and the Inspector Censor had no actual control of the power of these officers and soldiers.

However, as a civil servant, Wang Yangming knew that Lu Zhonghe was the censor who inspected the local area on behalf of the emperor, so he naturally gave Lu Zhonghe some face.

Wang Yangming did not lead his troops in directly, but instead asked someone to post a post to Lu Zhonghe according to the rules in the officialdom.

Lu Zhonghe naturally dared not to see Wang Yangming, and he was very calm and asked someone to bring Wang Yangming in.

When Wang Yangming came in, he saw Lu Zhonghe having a meal, and the meal was extremely simple, but two steamed buns, a plate of vegetarian dishes, and a bowl of white porridge.

Seeing this, Wang Yangming couldn't help but laugh: "Lu Xunzhang is frugal and honest, and he eats so simple!"

"I dare not be honest, but I am not greedy for anything. As for food, I have eaten like this in the past. Why? Mr. Wang came to get my official position? Could it be that I have committed the crime of greed and cruelty?"

The inspector Lu Zhonghe laughed, as if he was not afraid of Wang Yangming. He took off his official robe and pointed to his clothes full of patches: "Lu is a concubine son. He has been poor since childhood. He has been helping the Quanna tribe. After studying and becoming an official, he has always adhered to the ancestral teachings and only made decisions for the people and did not harm the will of heaven. Now, Mr. Wang, look at the clothes on his official body. Will he think that Lu is a greedy person?"

"The Chief Lu may be an honest official, but it may not be a mediocre official. Wang came to take you today because of the slaughter of several villages in Sanyuan County by the Tartars. As the Chief Lu, as the Chief Lu, was afraid that it would be a big deal to blame, so the court issued an order to take you to Beijing and interrogate him strictly! The house was searched to investigate it!"

Wang Yangming took out the imperial edict and showed it to Lu Zhonghe.

Lu Zhonghe immediately slapped the table: "It's so outrageous! You can search now to see if Lu has evidence of collusion with the Tartars, and evidence of the crime of harming the people!"

"In this way, Wang is not polite!"

Wang Yangming said that, and then winked at the commander of Juesheng Guard Yang Mao. Yang Mao immediately ordered the officers and soldiers to rush in and began to search Lu Zhonghe's residence. All the documents and documents began to be checked, including wardrobe and bed cabinets.

But Lu Zhonghe continued to eat calmly.

After a while, Yang Mao came back and reported the search results to Wang Yangming in sign language.

"What, nothing suspicious?"

Wang Yangming couldn't help but feel quite surprised and hurriedly ordered in sign language: "Search again! Including his staff and family members' residence, you must not let go! All the responses, articles, titles, documents, and orders are brought to me, and I will review them one by one!"

As he said that, Wang Yangming continued to chat with Lu Zhonghe: "Lu Xunzhang is really not afraid of danger. This time several villages in Sanyuan County were massacred by Tartars, and even the prince's guards were not spared. Wouldn't Lu Xunzhang be surprised and did not check it?"

"This steamed bun is good and very sweet. Master Wang can try it." Lu Zhong and Gu said that it seemed unwilling to be trapped by Wang Yangming.

But in fact, Wang Yangming suspected that Lu Zhonghe might have something to do with the villager's slaughter, because after he read out the decree, Lu Zhonghe actually directly told Wang Yangming what Wang Yangming wanted to find. In Wang Yangming's opinion, it was obvious that Lu Zhonghe knew very well what he was going to do and what he wanted to find.

After Wang Yangming finally repeatedly confirmed that there was no evidence of Lu Zhonghe's crime around him that he could use to punish him, he said: "Since that's the case, I will take Lu Xun back to his hometown in Shanxi. If there is no evidence of his crime in Shanxi, Wang personally seeks justice for Lu Xun!"

As he said that, Wang Yangming ordered: "Come, take Lu Xunzhang away!"

When the inspector Censor Lu Zhonghe saw that Wang Yangming was going to take him back to his hometown in Shanxi and wanted to search his hometown, he was immediately anxious: "Wang Shouren, what do you want to do? You are just a Hanlin poet, and you even become a slander minister who has been promoted to Hanlin by beating the emperor. What qualifications do you have to detain me as a censor, and you dare to search my house!"

"Just rely on the imperial edict in my hands!"

Wang Yangming said.

No matter how hard Lu Zhonghe struggled or scolded Wang Yangming, he would not be able to stop Wang Yangming from acting under the order.

When Wang Yangming and Lu Zhonghe appeared at Lu Zhonghe's house in Shanxi, he saw that the entire Lujiazhuang was like a city, with brick houses rising high and valley piles everywhere.

However, the difference is that Wang Yangming has now sent officers and soldiers to surround him in advance.

As soon as Wang Yangming arrived at Lu Zhonghe's hometown, he began to order the officers and soldiers to search. He soon searched out various land deeds from the households of the Lu clan, and found a large number of granaries. It can even be said to be piled up in mountains, many of which were still new grains.

Wang Yangming also checked the land deeds and land deeds at the same time, and couldn't help but say to Lu Zhonghe: "Lu Xunzhang, the number of people in the Ministry of Revenue is only a few hundred people. Why does it seem that there are no less than a thousand people here, no less than a thousand houses, and no less than a hundred thousand stones of food at a glance. Any of these land deeds and land deeds are thousands of hectares. Didn't you say that you are a concubine's son and have been poor since childhood? Why is your Lu family so rich now?"

"Those are all horoscopes, not those of Lu!"

Lu Zhonghe said.

"The fertile fields in Turtle Bay in Sanya Village are 115 hectares! The fertile fields in Zhoujiakou are 800 hectares!... These places are all places that were looted by the Tartars by the Ministry of War... and these are all! They are all fields stationed in Yansui, Shaanxi, Guyuan and Shaanxi Xingdusi. How come they have reached the hands of your Lu family? Even if it is a tribal property, you, Lu Zhonghe, cannot escape the relationship between collusion with the Tartars to embezzle the land of the people!"

Wang Yangming was the head of the Ministry of War Military Selection Department and remembered the report that local officials reported to the Ministry of War by the Tartars, and naturally Lu Zhonghe could not hide it from him.

At this time, Lu Guizu, the leader of the Lu clan, was also taken over. When the imperial officers and soldiers came to search his house, they knew that Lu Zhonghe had committed the crime. He was eager to clear his relationship with Lu Zhonghe and did not cry: "This is a long-distance person! These are all obtained by Lu Zhonghe, and they said they were offered to the people of the clan, but we don't know that these were encroached on him!"

Now the people in the clan have also sold Lu Zhonghe. In addition, Wang Yangming has also produced evidence, Lu Zhonghe has no confidence and knelt directly in front of Wang Yangming, crying in grievance:

"Mr. Wang, I didn't dare to take these fields acres, and I didn't dare to take these foods at all. They sold them to the Tartars for money, otherwise they wouldn't be able to raise so many maids and servants!

If you don’t believe it, I’m all for the people of the clan! They asked me to do this, because everything I have is given by the people of the clan, and I have to repay them! But I am very frugal, I am afraid that I will not be honest, and I am afraid that I will not be promoted to the post! If the tribe members had not asked me to do this, I would not dare and I would not think about it!"
