Chapter 90: The Snake Strikes

After the county magistrate arrested the clan elders and others from Songjia Village, he did not interrogate them immediately, but imprisoned them in the county jail.

The clan elders were arrogant at the beginning, and they kept clamoring for the county magistrate to give them justice, but as the days passed, no one came to ask them, let alone a promotion to the court for interrogation, even the officials who came to inquire about them did not have it, and the clan elders were a little panicked at this moment.

The clan elders could no longer be calm, they no longer clamored for the county magistrate to give them justice, they only hoped that someone could come and see them and tell them some news from the outside.

In the dimly lit county jail, the elders of the clan who were separated and detained were not as strong as the young people, and even if the people above had specially ordered them not to be tortured, they were only temporarily detained, and their bodies gradually weakened.

"Boss, the official who took care of the county yamen came to report that there was another person who couldn't bear the dampness and dampness in the yamen and was sick." A servant looked at Liu Zhutou and said.

Liu Zhutou frowned slightly.

"Another person is sick, how many are these?" Liu Zhutou looked at the visitor and asked.

"The fourth." The visitor replied.

"Fourth, send someone to ask a doctor for them to take a look, the adults have an explanation, they can't have anything to do before they are promoted to the court for interrogation." Liu Zhutou commanded.

The visitor nodded.

"Those people have been asking to see the county magistrate, and there are many people outside the yamen who ask to come in every day to visit, you see?" Someone came to ask for instructions.

"What did the county magistrate order, don't you know?" Liu Zhutou looked at the person in front of him and asked.

The face of the person who came was bitter, of course he knew, so he was embarrassed.

"Boss, I know that the county magistrate doesn't let people go in to visit, but they are really ......" The little official looked embarrassed.

Liu Zhutou looked at his pitiful appearance and waved his hand angrily.

"Okay, I know, I'll talk to the adults, you hurry up and get a doctor for me. If something really happens to those people in the county jail, and the time comes, you can't afford to delay the county magistrate's business. Liu Zhutou said.

The little official nodded happily when he heard this.

"Boss, don't worry. I'll go right away, and I'll take care of them. "As long as he doesn't face all kinds of people who want to come in and visit him, let him do anything.

After the little servant finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Come back." Liu Zhutou called out to him.

"Boss?" The little official looked at Liu Zhutou inquiringly.

"Just get them a doctor and make sure they don't have anything serious. I don't have to take care of it too well. Liu Zhutou admonished.

These people are used by the county magistrates to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, and when they are promoted to the court for interrogation, they are all white and fat, and their faces are ruddy, which is not good.

The little official looked puzzled, and said for a while that he would ask the doctor to take good care of him, and then said that he didn't need to take special care of him, what the hell was going on.

"You don't have to think about it, just do what I say." Liu Zhutou looked at the little servant and ordered.

Looking at the figure of the little officer leaving in a hurry, Liu Zhutou stood in place for a moment, thinking of what the little officer had just said. He turned around and walked towards the county office.

"My lord." Liu Zhutou grabbed a person in the county government and asked.

"My lord and my master are talking in the study." The county official who was questioned replied.

Liu Zhutou looked for the way and walked over, and sure enough, he saw the door of the study, and the personal person of the county magistrate was guarding the door.

"Please go in and report it, I want to see my lord, please report something." Liu Zhutou looked at the man and said politely.

He, the person who had just surrendered to the county magistrate, did not dare to show his might in front of these old men who came to take office with the magistrate.

"Okay, wait a minute." The man said politely.

The door to the study was opened, and shortly after the man entered, the voice of the prefectural magistrate came out.

"Come in."

Liu Zhutou tidied up and down Zhou's body, and then walked in. He greeted the county commander with a respectful expression, and then nodded to the master.

"My lord, I need to ask you to show me something." Liu Zhutou looked at the county magistrate respectfully and asked.

The county magistrate waved his hand, pointed to the chair next to him and said, "If there is something to sit down and say." ”

For the head of the county government who took refuge under his hands. The county magistrate was kind, and even smiled and asked people to bring him tea.

Liu Zhutou's body tensed slightly, and he sat down according to his words, but his body was only half sitting, and his posture was straight.

The county magistrate and the master glanced at each other, and the county magistrate nodded slightly.

The master smiled. looked at Liu Zhutou and said: "Lord Liu doesn't need to be restrained, our family is the most generous person, he doesn't care about those false courtesies, and he is very trusting and generous to his own people." ”

As for what kind of treatment will be received by those who are not their own people, it is difficult to say.

Liu Zhutou was terrified when he heard this, and immediately stood up, looked at his master and shook his head again and again: "Master, you are really distressed." ”

This lord, the other little officials in the county government said that it was okay, in front of the county commander, the master said so, how could he bear it.

"My lord, master, these are all those people below who don't understand things and talk nonsense, it's because I didn't discipline them well, please rest assured, I will definitely restrain them when I go back, and I will never let them talk nonsense again." Liu Zhutou assured with a sincere expression.

Liu Zhutou bent down again and pleaded guilty to the county magistrate.

The county magistrate took a sip of tea with a teacup, and his expression was a little surprised when he heard the words, as if he didn't understand why Liu Zhutou would say this.

A cold sweat broke out on Liu Zhutou's forehead.

"Lord Liu, you have wronged them, they didn't talk nonsense." Master said with a smile.

"Ah......" Liu Zhutou looked surprised, and looked at the county commander in surprise, "Could it be ......?"

The tone was a little incredulous, and there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

The prefectural commander nodded, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Lord Liu, I'm here to say congratulations in advance." Master smiled.

Liu Zhutou was a little stunned for a while.

"How can it be so fast?" Liu Zhutou was puzzled.

After he knew about the collusion between officials and bandits, the county magistrate might nominate him to take over as the new warden, but even if the document was reported on the same day, it would not be possible for the above official document to be approved so quickly, not to mention that the matter of collusion with bandits had not yet been promoted to interrogation, how could there be a new appointment so quickly.

"Huh!" The prefectural magistrate smiled.

The master got the signal and explained: "It can be regarded as Lord Liu's luck, originally the new appointment was indeed not approved until the case was settled, who knew that Lord Qincha sent from above happened to pass by here." ”

Governors?

Liu Zhutou was very surprised when he heard this.

This small county seat. For so many years, the prefect has never been here, and the biggest official is the prefect, which is equivalent to exile, why is it that even Lord Qincha has appeared now.

Could it be that this small county town really has some big people. Worry flashed in Liu Zhutou's heart, but there was excitement in his eyes.

The wind and rain are coming, and the small county town will not be calm in the near future, this is a crisis but also an opportunity, it depends on how everyone grasps it.

"Lord Qincha learned about the collusion of the people in the yamen with the bandits. I was very angry, and immediately decided to remove the criminal from his official position and appoint Lord Liu as the new warden in the county government, so I don't call it casually. The master smiled.

Liu Zhutou tried his best to control zhì, but there was still a smile on his face, and he looked at the county magistrate excitedly, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing this, the master nodded.

"Thank you, sir, for your cultivation. The subordinates keep it in mind, from now on, as long as the adults are driven, they will go to the soup and go to the fire. Liu Zhutou said sincerely.

"Yan zhòng." The county magistrate smiled: "We are all doing things for the court, as long as we are dedicated to doing things for the court in the future." ”

"Yes, yes, what the adults taught me is that the lower officials must remember it." Hearing this, Liu Dianguan nodded again and again.

The county magistrate smiled, looking at Liu Dian's eyes flashing with satisfaction.

This person seems okay at the moment. I hope I don't let him down in the future, thinking of something, the county commander's brows furrowed slightly, and worry flashed in his heart.

"Congratulations to Lord Liu for his promotion." The master said with a smile.

From the head catcher of the yamen, he suddenly became the new warden. It's really a high ascension.

Hearing this, Dian Liu smiled and nodded, "Thank you." ”

"Lord Liu is promoted, I don't know if we people can follow and drink a good glass of wine." The master asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Liu Dianguan immediately nodded in agreement.

"That's nature, and you're always welcome."

"That's great." The master nodded, looked at the county commander and smiled: "I have long heard that Lord Liu has a good champion red in the altar. I'm in for a treat. ”

"Your Excellency, you should allow me to take leave." The master looked at the county magistrate and asked with a smile.

"You drunkard, if I don't allow it, won't you go?" The prefectural magistrate asked with a smile.

The master looked embarrassed for a moment when he heard this, struggled for a while, and then made up his mind.

"Even if you don't allow it, I'm going to go, it's really a rare wine, especially the champion of Lord Liu's house, I heard that it is very old, and it is very delicious when I think about it." The master licked his face and looked at the county magistrate and smiled.

"Lord Liu, you won't invite me to a drink just because the adults don't agree." The master looked at Liu Dianzhi and asked.

Cold sweat broke out on Liu Dian's forehead, and the three words of champion red made his heart rise to his throat, and he didn't reply for a while.

My lord, you see it's all you, and Lord Liu doesn't dare to invite me to drink.

The master looked at the county magistrate's gaze with a complaint.

You're embarrassed to say it, I'm embarrassed to admit that there is a greedy master like you.

Drinking alcohol is one of life's great things, especially tasting good wine, which is a pleasure that cannot be missed.

You drunkard.

The master and the county commander exchanged glances for a moment, and finally the master couldn't stand it and took the lead in looking away.

"Lord Liu, since the adults don't allow it, then you must leave a little bit of your good wine for me, and then disturb it when I rest." The master looked at Liu Dian's request, his eyes full of expectation.

Liu Dianzhi smiled bitterly when he heard this.

"What the master said, isn't it just a jar of champion red, if you want to drink, I'll have someone bring it to you." Liu Dian said.

The master nodded happily when he heard this.

"My lord, you can't control me now, I'll wait until I have a few drinks at night when I rest, it should be fine." The master smiled.

"Okay, for the sake of Dian Liu's face, I will bypass you this time, you don't have to wait until the time to rest, I will grant you leave, you can go to Keeper Liu's house for a drink, it can be regarded as congratulating Keeper Liu's promotion." The county magistrate said with a smile.

The master suddenly smiled and raised his eyebrows proudly.

"By the way, Dian Liu, what are you doing when you come to find an adult?" The master remembered what was going on, looked at Liu Dian, and asked.

Ah!

Liu Dian's heart exclaimed, he almost forgot about his business, he didn't care about the cold sweat on his forehead, and immediately looked at the county magistrate and talked about the purpose of this visit.

Some people in the county jail were sick, and there were people outside the county jail who were making trouble and clamoring to go in and visit, and the officials guarding the county jail were forced to have no choice, so they reported it.

The county magistrate didn't say anything when he heard this, and the teacup in his hand tapped gently, making a crisp sound.

"Sure enough, they are all some people, no wonder they will be bold and collude with bandits to buy murderous ......" The master was very angry when he heard this.

"What do you think we're going to do, my lord?" Liu Dian's instructive look at the county magistrate.

"My lord, we must not compromise, we must punish them severely." The master said angrily.

The county magistrate smiled, and when he heard the master's words, he didn't look very angry.

"I was going to hang them to see who else was secretly colluding with them, but now it seems that the time is almost over." The prefectural magistrate said.

"What do you mean, sir?" The master asked in a general way.

"Isn't our Chincha-sama just here? How deep the water is in this small county town is just for Lord Qincha to see for himself. The prefectural magistrate smiled.

"Wonderful!" The master said in admiration.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being the fox of his family, and he is indeed witty, and he is really a good hand at pitting people.

"My lord......" Liu Dianzhi stood there, still a little foggy, not understanding what the two people in front of him were talking about.

"Oh," Lord Prefectural Commander turned his head to look at the past, as if he had just remembered that there was another person here who needed to be explained, and said, "You have people ask the doctor to come over and have a look, don't let them die in the prison, and when Lord Qincha comes, we will be promoted to the court for interrogation." ”

"Yes."

Liu Dianzhi slowly walked out of the county magistrate's study, cold sweat on his back, almost soaking his thick clothes.

Champion Red? Champion Red!

Why did the master deliberately mention Zhuangyuanhong, could it be that they knew about what happened that night? Liu Dianzhi secretly guessed.

Liu Dianyi walked out worriedly.

In the study, the master looked at his county commander in confusion.

"My lord, why do you want me to mention Zhuangyuanhong, aren't you afraid of startling the snake?" Master asked worriedly. (To be continued.) )
