Chapter 51: Caught
Song Ci said: "Of course not, these pigs can't be disposed of on the spot, but need to be buried in the land, otherwise, maybe the swine fever will continue to spread, or even spread to other places."
Everyone had eaten food, but at this moment, a procession came to the entrance of the yamen, and they walked in an orderly manner, and even carried the intention of hanging a child.
One of them rode a tall horse, wore an official hat and an official uniform, and was really imposing.
There was also a man on a horse beside him, but he was much inferior in dress or imposing.
"Lord Liu, I waited for this month to go out to avoid the limelight, and finally came back, Xiao Shi almost forgot the feeling of living in the Yamen."
Liu Tianhong said: "Shushi, I have to wait for this month to go out for a month, if it weren't for the spread of this swine fever, I would have spared my life, how could I go out to avoid the limelight."
"Yes, yes, this court doesn't know how to send someone down to take care of it, if it continues like this, don't say that the pigs are dead, even if there are not a few people left.
Liu Tianhong said: "What does this have to do with this official? As long as the official is alive, as long as the official is still alive, everything else is easy to say, are you right?"
"That's right, Lord Liu is right."
The people continued to walk by the roadside, and they saw people carrying dead pigs forward, and they did not know where they were going.
He was furious, "Presumptuous, why do these people dare to sell pork? Isn't this to allow more people to continue to eat sick pigs? If this official doesn't care, I'm afraid: ....."
Shushi hurriedly said: "My lord, if you touch these plague pigs, what will you do if you get sick at that time?" This is something that even a veterinarian can't solve. ”
Liu Tianhong said: "That's it, this official has neglected this point, if it weren't for the fact that the official was worried that he would get sick, how could he be like this at this moment?"
They walked vertically and soon came to the yamen, but suddenly found that there were many old peasants carrying dead pigs and leaving them outside, and they didn't know what they meant.
Some pigs were even killed and died, and now Liu Tianhong couldn't sit still, what do these Diao people mean?
He got down from his horse and scolded: "Boldly Diao the people, knowing that these pigs have swine fever, but you deliberately came at the gate of the yamen, and the official asked you, are you guilty?"
Someone said: "It was Lord Song who asked us to get it, Liu Zhixian, you have been deposed, do you know?"
"Yes, Lord Song promised that as long as these pigs die of illness or not, as long as they are transported, Lord Song will compensate each of us with one or two silver."
Liu Tianhong was furious, "Bold, you actually said wild words, this official just went out for a while, why was he dismissed?" At the same time, the official has not received the documents from the Ministry of Rites, can you be guilty?"
Someone said: "Is it a crime, Liu Zhixian doesn't know to go to the yamen to have a look?" The gates have been opened, and the notices at the entrance of the yamen have been posted, could it be that this matter is still fake?"
Liu Tianhong saw that this was really the case, he read the content of the notice, and then said: "Shushi, immediately tear up this notice to the official, I want to see who wants to grab the official's position."
Shushi acted immediately, and then the group strode into the interior of the yamen, and from a distance, Liu Tianhong saw that Song Ci and others were here.
He shouted, "You are really bold, the official didn't believe it originally, but I didn't expect it to be true, and you actually pried open the door of the yamen without permission, do you know what kind of crime this is?"
Song Ci and the others came back to their senses and looked at this person, and they all knew that this person was the magistrate of this Zhu County, and he actually came back at this moment.
I've been hiding from swine fever for so long, did you hear any rumors? The swine fever hasn't passed yet, so why do you want to return?
Song Ci led Qin Xiaoyue and a few people to walk over immediately, and said coldly: "If Song is not mistaken, you are the former governor of this Zhu County!"
Liu Tianhong said angrily: "Presumptuous, this official is also a magistrate now, when did he become the previous magistrate?" But you, who are you? Why did you break into this yamen? If you don't say something today, my official will not spare you.
Qin Xiaoyue was about to tell the truth, but Song Ci hurriedly stopped her, and then said, "Don't ask who Song is?" But you know that the county lord actually locked up the county yamen for a month, do you know what crime you have committed? At the same time, if something big happens in the county, what will you do?"
Liu Tianhong said: "This official is going to Lin'an, to the Xuande Palace, do you have to take care of it?" At the same time, this official is an important member of the imperial court, and you are a criminal pretending to be a magistrate, how can you ask about this matter?"
Song Ci sneered, he had already heard that this statement was too fake, he couldn't do it at all, it must be a lie.
But he didn't give face, and directly snorted coldly: "As a magistrate, when the swine fever spread, you actually went out to hide, since you want to hide, Lord Zhixian, why don't you hide for a longer time?" Come back when the swine fever is completely gone?"
Liu Tianhong frowned, with anger, "Presumptuous, how can this official be such a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" You are a criminal, and you dare to say in public that your official is not guilty?"
Song Ci said: "I don't know what kind of crime is underneath? Could it be that you ran away?"
"What is the sin? You pried open the gate of the yamen without permission, isn't this a crime? Come on, take them down for the official, and then put them in prison to wait for their fate. ”
Wen Cheng Wenwu stepped forward and immediately stopped, "Presumptuous, this is the criminal officer of the Criminal Department, which of you dares to arrest him?"
Several arresters were frightened and didn't dare to act, but Liu Tianhong was not afraid, "The criminal officer of the Criminal Department? How did the official not know? In my opinion, you are trying to cheat and eat and drink, come on, take it down for me, and put it in prison. ”
"You..... How dare you!"
Wen Cheng was civil and military, but after all, he couldn't stand the crowd, and he was quickly controlled.
"Bold, do you know what crime it is to arrest the people of the Criminal Department? Tell you, you'd better let us go, or you'll not be left behind!"
Liu Tianhong chuckled, very disdainful, "People from the Criminal Department? Is it up to you to deserve it? Let me tell you, now you have another crime, that is, pretending to be an important member of the imperial court, and now you think this official will let you go?"
"Come on, put shackles and chains on them, put them in prison, and wait a few days."
"Yes!"
With the help of the arrester, Song Ci and the others were quickly locked up in a cell, and then the iron door was closed and the officials left.
Wenwu said: "My lord, our two brothers are really ashamed of you, ashamed of the saint, originally ordered to protect you, but I didn't expect that..."
Lu Sheng was also very disappointed, and lowered his head, "I also came to protect the adults, but I am incompetent, and the harmful adults still have to suffer from this cell, my lord, we are sorry for you." ”
Song Ci chuckled, "You guys are serious, Song has lived for more than 20 years, and he has eaten everything, but he has never eaten the food in this cell, and if he eats for a while from time to time, he can't cry."
Qin Xiaoyue said sadly: "My lord, when has this been, you still have the heart to joke, Wan.... What if this Liu Tianhong beheads us?"
