Chapter 31: The Third Class of Officers

Turning his head to look, it was a man in brocade clothes and a young man in military uniform, but the young man was Zhan Yuan he had seen in front of the shoe stall a few days ago, and it was even more coincidental that Qi Laosan, who was making trouble at the shoe stall that day, was standing behind the man in brocade.

When the man in brocade saw the county commander coming towards him, he thought that he was going to choose himself, and he was overjoyed, and suddenly heard the county magistrate say:

"Qi Laosan, do you remember me?"

Qi Laosan's eyes widened and he shook his head.

"You were very majestic in front of Dong Xiucai's booth that day!" Lu Yuan snorted coldly.

Behind Qi Laosan, the thin family Ding whispered: "Third master, this county magistrate was standing aside that day. ”

Qi Laosan's knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, spare your life!" Seeing the prestige of the county magistrate reprimanding all the officials, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to deny it.

Lu Yuan ignored him anymore, walked up to Zhan Yuan and said with a smile: "Brother Zhan, we meet again." ”

Zhan Yuan arched his hand and said, "The grass people meet the adults." ”

Lu Yuan waved his hand and said: "That day, when I saw you hoeing the strong and helping the weak, I knew that you were a chivalrous person, and I was relieved that the position of catching the head was handed over to you." ”

Zhan Yuan's heart was shocked, he just gritted his teeth and tried, but he didn't expect to really become a head catcher, and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Lord!" ”

Seeing that the county magistrate really chose a name to catch the head in public, the crowd erupted in cheers.

The matter of the county order reprimanding the officials has long been gone, and the well-informed people in the county town have gradually gathered in the south of the county, and the crowd has surrounded the county government.

Hou Yue hurriedly said: "Daddy, when Lu Xianggong looked at it just now, it was clear that he wanted you to be the head catcher, why shouldn't you be?" ”

Hou Kaishan regretted it a little at this time, and said weakly: "I want to see it again." ”

Hou Yue was really anxious this time, and his face turned red and said: "Daddy, we have been performing all these years, and we are sending people under the fence, how long will this kind of life pass?" Hou Kaishan's face turned pale and he was silent.

Hou Yue's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Our house in Chu is gone, even if you find your sister, where are you going to let her live?" ”

"Xiao Yue, you can stay with me then." It was Su Liuying who spoke, and when she heard the conversation between father and son, she couldn't help but get out of the carriage again.

"Sister Su, although you are a good person, but after all, you are a prostitute, we always live with you, what others may think of us?" Hou Yue's heart was agitated and he said the hidden thoughts in his heart, and as soon as he blurted out the words, his face turned white.

Miss Su's face changed slightly, because of this identity, she has already suffered countless hardships and sufferings, even if she has gained the name of a female poet fairy by hard work, she still can't get rid of the brand of a prostitute.

She suddenly felt a little disheartened, and silently returned to the carriage.

Hou Kaishan reprimanded angrily: "You evil animal, how can you say such a thing? ”

Hou Yue was impulsive, and he regretted it a little after speaking, listened to his father's reprimand, and argued to himself: "I didn't say anything wrong." ”

Hou Kaishan deeply felt that his son had not been taught well, coupled with the guilt of Lu Xianggong, he was also a little depressed for a while.

On the other side, Lu Yuan is still appointing the head catcher, if you want to appoint the head catcher, it is not just a matter of talking, if you don't go through the formalities, it is likely that something will happen, he asked the county official:

"Where is the priest?"

A clerk walked out quickly and said, "My subordinates are here." ”

"You immediately go and revise the county officials' files, cross out the names of the original head catchers and the head of the Zhuang class, and add the name of Zhanyuan. Then send someone to immediately write down the appointment and transfer of the official just now, and send it to the Assassin History Yamen and the Jiedu Envoy Yamen for filing. ”

The county order can directly appoint and dismiss officials, without the consent of the superiors, and only need to report once.

The official quietly looked at Li Xiancheng, and Lu Yuan shouted: "If you dare to delay again, you will cross out your own name!" ”

Li Xiancheng said loudly: "Wait! ”

Lu Yuan shouted: "You are the one who tried the case of a thousand dollars, you stay aside first, and I will settle accounts with you later!" "How could Lu Yuan let him get into trouble?

Li Xiancheng was shocked and said, "How did he know about this?" If he really let him bite this thing, his situation is a little bad. ”

Thinking that Lu Yuan would definitely be promoted to retry the case later, he began to think about the details of the case, whether there were any flaws.

The official saw that the county lord was not the opponent of the county magistrate at all, so he didn't dare to hesitate anymore and rushed to the ya.

Lu Yuan said: "Master Qin, you go and take a look, in case he is cheating." ”

Qin Li saw that Lu Yuan was majestic, and he reprimanded the officials of the county tremblingly, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly said when he heard the words: "My subordinates receive orders." ”

When the crowd saw that he really appointed Zhan Yuan as the head catcher, the documents were revised on the spot, and many people began to regret it in their hearts.

Suddenly, someone shouted: "Slow down, slow down, I have something to say." ”

Because the crowd was too crowded, the man couldn't squeeze out, he jumped into the circle, but it was a lean man, he looked at Lu Yuanyi and arched his hand:

"My name is Leif, and I meet the county magistrate."

"A strong man doesn't have to be polite, I don't know what a strong man has to say?" Lu Yuan didn't know where he came from, and he became vigilant in his heart.

Leif said: "My martial arts are passable, better than the head catcher you chose, you might as well choose me to be the head catcher, I will definitely be able to do better." ”

Among the few people in Yufeng Village on the side, the short man was surprised and said: "Isn't that kid the "jerboa" Leifu in Wuqi Village?" ”

"It's him." The tall man replied in a deep voice.

The short man scratched his head and said, "That kid is a bandit, what kind of head catcher is he also here for?" ”

"Shut up." The woman in white scolded coldly.

The short man found that several people next to him had come over, so he quickly closed his mouth and continued to watch the play.

Zhan Yuan saw Leif's kung fu just now, and knew that the other party's martial arts were likely to be above him, but this position was extremely important to him, how could he be willing to give it to others, gritting his teeth and saying nothing.

"This official's words are like a mountain and cannot be changed, but at the moment there is still the position of the leader of the strong class, can the strong man be interested?" Lu Yuan said tentatively.

"That's not good, I may not be happy when other mothers are different." Leif grinned.

"Then would you like to be an ordinary catcher?" Lu Yuan continued to probe it, he wanted to know if this person was from the county and deliberately made trouble for himself.

"Okay, if you do the catcher, you can always rise to the head catcher in the future!" Leif thought for a moment and agreed.

Zhan Yuan glared at him fiercely after hearing this.

Seeing that this person was not here to make trouble, Lu Yuan was sure in his heart that he intended to cultivate his own power as soon as possible, knowing that only with a gun could he seize power, and he was extremely interested in the third-class officials in the county:

"Okay, from now on, you will be the fastest catcher in this county."

County Lieutenant Li suddenly said: "Lord Lu, the arrest establishment is full, and there is no way to add more people." ”

"Not necessarily." Lu Yuan suddenly pointed to the two catchers and said, "You guys come out." ”

The two of them stood up tremblingly, and saw the fate of Ding Zhutou and Du Bantou, and these officials knew that it would never be good to be shouted out by the county commander.

Sure enough, I heard Lu Yuan say: "That day, Qi Laosan was doing evil on the street, but the two of you drank tea in the tea shed, and also talked about the suffering of others as a joke, is there such a thing?" ”

The two knelt down in unison and said, "My lord, spare your life!" ”

Lu Yuan said lightly: "Immediately remove the two of you from the post of catching fast." He turned his head to Lieutenant Li and said, "I said that there are still vacancies, right, this lord." ”

Although County Lieutenant Li has always been bold, he is the most obedient to County Lieutenant Li, and when he saw him, he didn't dare to squeak, how dare he go against the county magistrate again, and said in a low voice: "Yes." ”

"Great, I have to tell my mother the news quickly!" Leif laughed and jumped to his feet, leaping towards the outskirts of the crowd.

Because there were too many people, he couldn't jump out once, so he stepped on a person's head, and the person who stepped on his head immediately scolded, but the crowd was too noisy, and few people heard it.

In the crowd, Lan'er smiled at her young lady and said: "I didn't expect Lu Xianggong to be so powerful in front of these masters, it's the first time I've seen the county lord and the county lieutenant being reprimanded!" ”

Miss Sun said softly: "From the fact that he is willing to deign to do that kind of thing, I can see that he is different from those officials and masters. ”

Lan'er secretly stuck out her tongue and said in her heart: "At that time, you were not polite to him at all. ”

Seeing that the position of the head catcher had been decided, Lu Yuan said to the onlookers: "Next is the head of the Zhuang classβ€”β€”"

Before he finished speaking, the crowd either squeezed or jumped, and several people jumped out at once, scrambling to say:

"I'll come."

"Don't fight with me."

"Who dares to stop me?"

"Lu Xianggong, I'm willing to do it!"

The last person was Hou Yue, he saw that his father was unwilling to end, but he was unwilling to give up this opportunity.

Lu Yuan looked at a few people and said: "There is only one position as the head of the team, little Brother Hou, you have a pure temperament, I can still trust it, since Brother Hou is not willing to do it, this position of team leader will be left to you." ”

Hou Yue was overjoyed when he heard this.

One of the other three bald men said: "Lord Lu, this is not fair, I ask to compete with this little brother to win or lose." ”

Hou Yue was the most anxious, and before Lu Yuan could speak, he hurriedly said, "Okay, then you can try it." As he spoke, the two of them danced and flew with their hands, and moved their hands.

Lu Yuan shouted: "Stop, this official is not holding a martial arts conference here." ”

However, the two didn't listen at all, Zhan Yuan saw that the two didn't listen to Lu Yuan's orders, and jumped into the middle to try to stop the two, but his martial arts were only slightly stronger than Hou Yue, and it was a little difficult to stop the two at the same time.

As a result, the two-person contest turned into a three-person brawl.
