Chapter 42: Killing the Chicken
If there are outsiders who have not heard of Lord Lin's deeds, just listening to Lord Lin's name, they must think that Lord Lin is a good official who keeps courtesy. But it's a pity that although Lord Lin is polite, he doesn't abide by the law very much, so why did he only do three or two things that he knowingly committed? As for the etiquette he kept, it was just a flattering gift to his boss during the New Year's holidays, and Lord Lin had never delayed this.
Lord Lin gave gifts to his boss, and naturally some people gave him gifts, and they were all timely, as if there was no one in charge who didn't pay attention to the matter of giving gifts.
The gift to Lord Lin was the county magistrate of the three counties under his rule, all of whom were officials in poor places, but they were not poor at all.
The county magistrate of Juan County is surnamed Ma, which is very coincidental, his zodiac is also a horse, and even more coincidentally, his wife is also a horse, but of course it is a horse one round smaller than him. The husband and wife are of the same genus, which is not a strange thing in the first place, after all, there are definitely many such couples in the world. But what is even more unique is that his son is also a horse, a family of three horses, which is very worthy of the people to laugh and talk about after dinner, and the people of Juan County privately use the word "stable" to call the mansion of the Ma County Order. Originally, people who belonged to horses should have worked hard for their lives, but Ma County Ling was not, his life was very good, better than that of the dragon and tiger, he didn't have to run around and work hard to have a lot of silver into his pocket, and those silver seemed to be his long legs, and he rushed forward and pushed and pushed the ground to get into Ma County's pocket. Of course, the silver does not have long legs, it is people who have legs, and there are people who are scrambling to send silver to Ma County, who are these people, I will not press the table here for the time being, and I will talk about them in detail later.
The county magistrate of Huai'an County is surnamed Zhu, and his name is Zhu Youfu. This is really a very blessed name, but our Zhu County Commander really doesn't look like a very blessed person. Zhu Xianling is very thin, if he is a little taller, it is probably no different from a bamboo pole, but Zhu Xianling is very short, short like a piece of dried rat meat. When you see him, you can't help but pity him. It seems like he's probably not eaten a meal of meat in months. But that's certainly not the case. What are the facts? The fact is that Zhu Xianling has five cooks in his family, and each cook is in charge of a cuisine, as long as Zhu Xianling is happy. Then he can eat meat dishes with different cooking techniques, different tastes and different cuisines in one meal, and Zhu Xianling's table has indeed never been short of meat dishes, but why is he still so thin? People who eat fatty meat every day are not fat, no matter how naturally they are born. Raising for three years and five years should be no different from a fat pig, but why is Zhu Xianling not fat? The reason is simple. Because Zhu Xianling rarely dropped his chopsticks on the meat dishes when eating, he really liked to eat at first, but later he didn't even move a chopstick. But even if Zhu Xianling doesn't like to eat. He wouldn't order the cooks to stop making those meat dishes, because he was happy, because he had money. Not only does he have money, he also has power. Even if he just looked at it and didn't eat it, and then let people pour it out to feed the dogs, no one would dare to say no. It's really Zhumen's wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road.
Zi'an County is the poorest of the three counties in Pingle County, and it stands to reason that the county order of Zi'an County should also be the poorest of the three county orders, but this is not the case. The county magistrate of Zi'an County is called Bao Ruhai, his name is very imposing, and he is also very close to his style of acting. Like the sea, the appetite of this county magistrate is indeed as big as the sea. The people of Zi'an County gritted their teeth and scolded him in private, because the people of Zi'an County have suffered a lot because of this Bao County Order, probably because Zi'an County originally had no oil and water, so when Bao County Ling looted the people's fat and cream, he was even more ruthless than his peers, and he simply wanted to peel off three layers of skin from the people of Zi'an County! Bao County Order also has a nickname called Bao Yan Wang, a person can be called Hades, which shows how cruel and hateful his methods are, there must be restlessness under coercion, as the so-called where there is oppression, there is resistance, the people of Zi'an County have indeed resisted, but they then faced more cruel bullying, the leader of the troublemaker was detained in prison by a pair of shackles, and died in prison within three days, what is even more terrible is that Bao Yan King did not even let go of this person's wife and daughter, and his wife was arrested by him and returned to the house Ling/ After a night of humiliation, she committed suicide by jumping into a well the next day, and the young girl was thrown into a pile of wild dogs and turned into a pile of minced meat. Killing a hundred people, the brutal methods of King Bao Yama really shocked those poor people, because the poor people were not very brave in the first place.
And then the man who gave them money.
There are also squires under the county order, that is the real fish and flesh people, they will squeeze the money obtained by the people to the county order, and the county order can turn a blind eye to their bad behavior, the squires have the support of the county order, of course, they are more careless, killing people, setting fires, bullying wives, and doing all kinds of evil. I don't know how many people have died under them, I don't know how many women have been abused/humiliated under them, and I don't know how many people curse them behind their backs to die badly, but they don't die too soon, and they don't know if it's because the disaster has been left behind for thousands of years or because the lives of the rich are originally longer than the lives of the poor.
Unfortunately, San'er is the little common people on the side of the rule of Hades.
The big squire of Zi'an County is called Jia Yi, and the people gritted their teeth and scolded him "Jia Dog" behind his back, saying that he was a dog beside King Bao Yan, which is really appropriate, in fact, Jia Yi is really no different from a dog except for not ****, or even worse than a dog. His subordinates are his dogs, and these dogs are all very fierce, and they are good at beating people and raiding homes, and they are the ones who forcibly expropriate the grain of San'er's hometown.
The speed of the horse under Yan Ming's seat had slowed down, and Xie Jin originally took the opportunity to urge the horse to speed up, so the two rode together.
Xie Jin took the opportunity to lower his voice and said: "Your Highness, the minister knows that you are eager to give back to the people of Pingle County, but if we rush into the government directly and rashly, I am afraid it will not be good, Mr. Liang is not wrong in saying a word, there may not be such a magistrate as Pingle County in other places, Your Highness, if you directly give that county order today, I am afraid that other officials will cause another big disaster." β
Yan Ming sneered: "This palace wants all of them to put themselves in danger, see if they dare to do such things to oppress the people!" β
After all, he is too young, and if he has been in officialdom for a few more years, he will definitely know that he can't be too tough in dealing with some things. Too rigid and easy to break.
Fortunately, Xie Jin walked with him at this time.
Xie Jin said lightly: "Your Highness, the ministers dare to say a word, do you think that in the eyes of the Holy Lord, one or two umbrellas of the people can be more important than the opinions of the ministers?" β
Yan Ming's body shook slightly, and he woke up suddenly.
There must be someone who protects him above the Lin County guard of Pingle County! Officials protect each other, and the officialdom of the Great Jin Dynasty is like a huge spider web of human affection!
If he overthrew several officials of Pingle County in one fell swoop today, would there be people in the court who felt that he posed a threat and framed him?
The dispute between the princes is a wrong step and a wrong step. If he doesn't come out with Xie Jin this time. Continue to be his idle Royal Highness. That might be more likely to get the crown prince, because those court officials must have felt that he didn't have the means of the city government to control easily. But now he is coming to Pingle County with Xie Jin, and it is clear that he wants to meddle in the affairs of the court. In this way, Chao Shang didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at him, and they wanted to see how he dealt with such a thing, and whether it would harm their interests. If so, then they will undoubtedly push him into the Land of Doom before he even ascends to the throne of the crown prince!
Yan Ming: This time, he actually put himself in a dilemma. He felt an unprecedented pressure, but it is a good thing for people to be under pressure, and it is a truth that has been experienced by his predecessors when he is born in sorrow and dies in peace.
Yan Ming also knew that he only had one way to go now. It is to go to the black along the road of Pingle County, as long as the matter of Pingle County is perfectly resolved, the father will be happy. Then he is very likely to ascend to the crown prince in one step!
"Thank you for the reminder." Yan Ming's hand holding the reins was folded in front of his chest and his head hung slightly.
Xie Jin smiled with relief. "It's great that Your Highness can understand."
Yan Ming said: "Then according to the adult's opinion, how should the matter of Pingle County be handled?" β
Xie Jin smiled, raised his right hand and made a downward cutting motion.
Yan Ming frowned, "Kill?" β
Xie Jin smiled and said, "Kill chickens and make an example of monkeys." β
Yan Ming's brows relaxed, and he suddenly brightened.
No one expected that a big knife had already been placed on the necks of the officials of Pingle County.
Jia Yi didn't expect that his good days were coming to an end today.
Jia Yi was still teasing a little lady, this little lady was all vegan, her face was haggard, her eyes were slightly swollen, and it was obvious that someone had died in the family.
Jia Yi was not too unlucky, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he pinched the little lady's buttocks, hehe, lewd/smiled: "Little lady, can your husband feed you?" β
The little lady took a salty pig's hand, screamed and turned away to dodge, and after seeing that it was Jia Yi, her face was even paler, her body trembled slightly, and her teeth chattered slightly.
Jia Yi didn't get angry, he rubbed his chin vigorously with the hand that had touched the little lady's buttocks, and continued to laugh and say: "Little lady, what about this old man's question, is your husband's food enough for you to eat?" β
The little lady couldn't understand his mouthful of gossip, only listened to him talk about food, for fear that it was not enough for this Jia dog to collect food before, and now he had to come to search for the last bit of rations in their family, and said busily: "Master Jia, there is really no food in our family!" Lift up your noble hand and let us go! β
Jia Yi narrowed his eyes, pretended to sigh compassionately, and said: "Look at you, this master is just asking, if you can't eat enough, you can just say it, this master has white rice at home!" β
The little lady looked at him in disbelief, and couldn't figure out why Jia Dog, who had to peel three layers of skin when he died, changed his sex today.
The little lady was naΓ―ve, and she was tempted by the white rice in Jia Yi's mouth for a while.
It must be known that the local people are poor, and they can't afford to eat a few meals of white rice all year round, and they eat sweet potato rice.
The little lady stammered: "What does this count, master?" β
Jia Yi knew that she was already moved by her hesitant tone, so she only stroked the two mustaches on her mouth proudly and said with a smile: "Of course." β
The little lady was not ambiguous, she knelt on the ground immediately and kowtowed to Jia Yi three times.
"Master Xie Jia."
Jia Yi said with a smile: "It's easy to say." β
He said a lot of things in his mouth, and he was really kind in his actions, and he actually bent down and pulled the little lady up.
"If you're willing, then go back with Master Ben!"
As he spoke, he also held the little lady's ass without any ambiguity.
As if she had been bitten by a snake, the little lady quickly bounced away, and said ashamedly and annoyedly: "Jia ...... Master Jia, what are you doing here? β
"Do what?" Jia Yi's face changed, and he smiled cruelly: "What garlic are you still pretending to be with me?" Didn't you just promise me to go back to the house with me? What will you do when you go back, you still don't know? β
No matter how simple the little lady was, she knew that she had just been deceived, and she suddenly trembled with anger and cried: "You, you are not human!" β
Now that he has torn his face, Jia Yi didn't plan to pretend to be kind anymore, and snorted fiercely: "I'm not human anymore? I am kind enough to let you eat and live a good life, you stinky girl doesn't appreciate it, even if you dare to scold Lao Tzu? Someone! Tie her up to Lao Tzu! β
As soon as he shouted, the gang of dogs immediately rushed up and restrained the little lady with all hands and feet.
The little lady was already weak, where was the power to resist, and when she saw that the situation was one-sided, her heart suddenly seemed to be dead, and the whole person seemed to be half lifeless, her eyes were blank, and her body shook slightly, as if it weren't for those dogs holding her, she would have fainted immediately.
Jia Yi smirked, turned around and took the lead back home.
But I never thought that a few horses would gallop towards him, and suddenly something changed!
Jia Yi's face changed greatly, he didn't expect that there would be people in this small Zi'an County who dared to ride a horse on the street, and he didn't expect that after seeing him, the leader not only did not stop the horse, but whipped the horse's buttocks, and the horse rushed straight towards him with the momentum of breaking bamboo!
"/ You old man!" Jia Yi scolded.
Jia Yi, the old dog, is really worse than a dog at this time, even if he is a beast, he always knows how to dodge in the face of this danger, but Jia Yi seems to only know how fast to speak, maybe because his legs are weak and he can't run?
The horse was about to trample him into a pulp!
Everyone's hearts hung in their throats, and they shouted loudly with hope in their hearts, "Stomp on this damn Jia dog."
But in the end, they were all disappointed.
Although the horse was fierce, the horse's riding skills were very good, and he actually stopped the horse when he was an arm's length away from Jia Yi!
