Chapter 336: The County Master (2)
Standing on the street, there were only four or five people left, including Ling Yun, and the county lord who looked like Maitreya Buddha who was sitting.
Zhang Anguo has been standing in the distance, not following the servants for the final charge, there are three servants, they are too old, the teeth of the three of them are not even together, there are more wrinkles on the face than on the washboard, the slippery wooden stick with a plate in his hand, the grease on it is shining, watching Ling Yun kick more than a dozen servants, he opened his mouth in shock, but there are no few teeth, there are holes inside, his eyes are wide, and he is not big, but it has become a little thicker from a thin slit, and has become a thick slit, and his hands are so frightened that he throws away the wooden stick and runs away, and the posture of escaping does not show the old state of the three of them。
"This group of bastards, none of them can fight, it's really a waste! Fortunately, Anguo, you are still around, you must protect me. "The county master originally thought that he would win the battle, no matter how vicious and fierce this Lingyun was, more than a dozen officials were not vegetarians, and they rushed up, even if one or two died, they would be able to subdue and catch this Jiangyang thief, he had already begun to fantasize about how to invite merit and reward, and how the court would issue an edict to praise, but he didn't expect the sudden change in the situation, and the reversal of the situation was only in that moment.
Zhang Anguo stood next to the county lord and said in a low voice: "Master, you take the opportunity to escape quickly, so as not to hurt you by this villain, and I will help you with your palace." ”
Hearing this, the county lord struggled to hold on to the handle of the chair and wanted to get up, and sat back several times, initially stuck in the chair, but the fat squeezed into the gap of the chair, and a little hard to stuff back the fat, you can come out of the chair, and then after falling, the body is embedded in the chair, and almost all the fat is stuffed with all the gaps in the chair, so that the combination of the two is almost a whole, the county lord can't get rid of the heavy sandalwood Taishi chair at all, and can only collapse on the chair sweating profusely, and said aggrievedly:" Anguo, I'm stuck, come and help me. ”
Zhang Anguo turned his back to the county lord and hurriedly turned around, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stuff back the fat that had been squeezed into the gap, but he was tired enough, and said, "Master, I really can't help with this." These few times of stuffing fat made the county master grin in pain, and he screamed more than once.
"That's it, you push my Taishi chair quickly, I don't want that madman to come. The county magistrate lifted the chair with great difficulty, rubbing and moving on the ground.
"County master, why are you in a hurry to leave, didn't you still hold my horse's hooves to keep me just now?" It was too late because Ling Yun had already walked over and said.
"You, don't come here, let me tell you, I am a Jinshi appointed by the emperor, the only two Liupinzhi counties in the world, today is the emperor's holy decree, come here to investigate the important case, anyone who stops it, you can cut it first, you dare to touch me now, you carefully squat in the prison and cut off the head!" The county master was so frightened that he was already at a loss, and even his words were a little confused, only a cliché probably because he had memorized it for too long and said too much, and he habitually blurted it out.
The county of the world is mostly eight products, a few are seven products, and the six counties of Ren Zhi County can be said to be very rare, but not nothing, such as six counties under the jurisdiction of the capital, among which the north and south counties of Gongwei Jingshi are because of the location, the grade of Ren Zhi County is set by the emperor as six products, and it has become a practice since then, only the county of the north and south counties of Beijing Division is six products, and the county master Chen Shizhong was once one of them, because of his neatness, quite talented, the emperor appreciated, and specially ordered him to come here to serve as the county and also investigate the case.
"Hahaha, county master, have you forgotten who I am? I am the key criminal who killed the former county magistrate Wang Sancheng and replaced the previous officer, it is my nature to be bold and reckless, and it is my character to do all kinds of evil, you actually squat in the prison to scare me? Hahaha, it just so happens that I like to squat in the prison very much, and I don't reject the activity of cutting off the head, this good head is here, the county master, if you want, you might as well give it a try. Ling Yun stretched out his neck and said.
"I, I don't want it, you go away, the farther away from the official as possible, go away. The county master turned his head, didn't dare to look directly at Ling Yun, and said in a loud voice.
"According to the law of this dynasty, the county magistrate, as the head of a county, saw the villain but did not arrest him, but instead set the tiger back to the mountain, what crime should he be guilty of?" Ling Yun asked with a smile.
The county lord didn't know that there was this law in this dynasty, once he saw the people wanted by the imperial court, let go of the people who didn't care, in case he found an accomplice who could be used as an arrest to be punished, then he was even more in a dilemma, if he opened his mouth to let Ling Yun go, it was undoubtedly equivalent to letting him go, so the result was naturally that he became his accomplice, and he had to be charged with the same crime, but if he was not allowed to go, such a fierce and fierce character, kicked more than a dozen strong officials away, and he was a fat person with a big belly, how could he keep him, if he was angered, I am afraid that he would be slaughtered alive, how miserable!
"If you want to go, you can leave, if you want to stay, it has nothing to do with me, I have tried to catch you, but I don't have the ability to catch you, I just can't catch it. "If this kind of incompetent words reach the imperial court, Chen Shizhong knows that the position of Zhixian will definitely not be able to be kept, and it is already the best ending to be dismissed and go home, even if it is punished by damaging the dignity of the imperial court, it is not impossible to be put into prison, but this is also the best ending, after all, there is no risk of falling to the head, he will not be regarded as an accomplice, and he will not anger Ling Yun, so as not to be killed on the spot.
"This is Jingnan County, you are the magistrate of Jingnan County, you already know my identity, I am a key criminal arrested by the imperial court, of course it is your duty to arrest me, you let me escape in front of your eyes, I will be caught again in the future, this matter will be told and spread to the imperial court, I'm afraid you won't be able to wear this black gauze hat for long, right?" Ling Yun took off the black gauze hat from Chen Shizhong's head, and his neck shrank in fright, almost thinking that he had lost his head, and a cold sweat broke out on the back of his neck.
"This black gauze hat is really beautiful, but it's a pity that it is worn on the head of a dog, pretending to be a dog, but never doing anything. Lingyun said.
"How can you insult the imperial court officials......" Chen Shizhong said angrily.
Ling Yun flew up with a kick, and the tethered horse stone pillar in front of the door next to him was about a zhang high, and was immediately kicked into two, the power of this foot is amazing, but the flesh and blood can kick the stone off, how hard this leg is, it is even more surprising, especially Chen Shizhong, who was so frightened that his face was bloodless, and his eyes were as wide as copper bells.
"Don't you ...... Don't touch me! Anguo save me!" Chen Shizhong said in shock.
Zhang Anguo's lips squirmed, and just as he wanted to open his mouth to plead, Ling Yun preemptively said: "Zhang Anguo, you dog thief, I haven't taught you a lesson today, if you dare to say a word, I will kill this dog official first!"
"Shut up Anguo!" Chen Shizhong knew that this murderer could do what he said, and hurriedly shouted to Zhang Anguo.
Zhang Anguo knew Ling Yun's thoughts, if he pleaded with Ling Yun in front of Chen Shizhong, he would definitely think that the two had already secretly interacted and were in a gang, then Ling Yun would definitely not be able to spare Chen Shizhong's life, so he could only kill him, now he was just scaring him, it was best to keep his mouth shut and watch how Ling Yun played tricks on this new county, there would be no worries about his life.
"Hahaha, county master, you learn very quickly, you can be taught, you are worthy of being the second most famous county in the world! The emperor is not wrong. Lingyun said.
"The emperor's holy virtue and heavenly son, of course, will not be wrong, but I am not the second most six-rank county in the world, but the only two six-rank counties in the world, which means that there are only two six-rank counties in the world, and I am one of them, do you know?" Chen Shizhong's tone was obviously much calmer, and even revealed the humility of the lower officials in front of the upper officials.
"Yes, yes, there are only two in the world, look at me, I have never read, so I am uneducated, unlike the county master, who reads poetry and books, and is rich in learning, I don't know if you are so educated, have you ever heard of a sentence, other people's things can't be moved?" Ling Yun asked.
Chen Shizhong's face was full of puzzlement, he thought to himself, this sentence is not an ancient saying, and it is not a common saying, where did a colloquial phrase come from, which he used as a famous aphorism, where would I have heard such a saying? So, he shook his head.
"Then your mother didn't teach you not to mess around with other people's things?" Ling Yun continued.
"This," after a moment's hesitation, Chen Shizhong said, "Don't mess with other people's things, this is basic upbringing, of course my mother taught me, but it may not be the original sentence." ”
"Okay, can you explain to me what you're doing here today?" asked Ling Yun.
"Today, of course, we are here to search the scene of the crime, and that is not you...... Have you taken Wang Sancheng's place, and then he disappeared again, and we will definitely come to search for it. Chen Shizhong saw that Ling Yun's face was not very good, in order to calm his emotions, he spoke more and more humbly, and he already had the tone of a junior to an elder.
"I have no objection to the search, you are the governor of the government and the head of a county, but why did this small building become like this?" Ling Yun pointed to the two-storey building that had lived for a while, and was close to perfect in his memory, at this moment, the exterior wall had already been smashed a few holes, the door had already been kicked to the ground, and the footprints were very clear on the black door paint, not to mention that the room was in a mess, which showed that the officials had already turned the room upside down and turned the room upside down, and all the items were thrown on the ground at will, there was no shortage of broken dishes, cups and saucers, and the clothes were trampled on at will, and the bed was broken and collapsed.
All this made Ling Yun can't help the anger in his heart, and roared: "Don't you know that these are my personal belongings, you have the right to search, what right do you have to destroy my personal belongings like this?"
"I'll compensate you, I'll compensate you, big ...... Hero, don't be angry, I'll pay you as much as I want! Please don't kill me!" If Chen Shizhong hadn't been able to get up from the Taishi chair, he would have already planned to kneel, but after all, he still resisted the desire to kneel, and begged for mercy with a dry mouth.
"How much will you pay me, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay it!" Ling Yun said disdainfully.
Chen Shizhong raised his throat, for fear that Lingyun Lion would open his mouth, after all, he had just arrived in Jingnan County to take office, and he didn't plan to stay in office for too long, all his savings were left in the capital's family, and now he only has less than 10,000 taels of silver tickets in hand, and he is afraid that this Jiangyang thief will not be satisfied with this money.
"I don't have much money, after all, I am an honest official, I have a clean sleeve, and I have never embezzled a grain of rice from the people, so I have been an official for many years and have no savings...... Chen Shizhong took out the aforementioned set of honesty and bragged to Lingyun.
