Chapter 41: Angrily beating the post
γAngry Beat Inspector Postγ
As the so-called new official took office three fires, since he became an official, he had to work hard, and this was only the first step in Liu Bei's life, during this time in Anxi County, Liu Bei strictly implemented the three public security management measures formulated by himself, the remnants of the Yellow Turban and the thieves on the mountain remembered that Liu Bei was the general of the counterinsurgency, so they learned to silence the drums, and did not dare to make a mistake, under Liu Bei's governance, within a month, Anxi County was already in order, in this relatively stable environment, Gradually, the people returned to their normal lives.
"Xuande, just now I heard that the minister of Zhongshan sent a superintendent to various places, saying that the imperial court has an order, and those who are promoted to officials because of military merits will be selected and eliminated." Jian Yong learned the news early in the morning, so he hurriedly ran over. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the princes and kings of the vassal states of the Liu family have no administrative power, and their powers are all exercised by the prime minister, and the appointment and dismissal power of the prime minister belongs to the central government, not to the king of the feudal state, so as to strengthen the central power.
At this time, Liu Bei was looking through the official document to check the public security situation in the county, and seeing Jian Yong's hurried appearance, he closed the official document unhurriedly and said: "What are you afraid of, we are not thieves of chickens and dogs, how can he dismiss us for no reason." β
But when he heard the word post superintendent, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, Liu Bei had no good impression of the people who served as the post supervisor since he was a child, and even hated them, when his father was unjustly killed in prison was given by the post superintendent, every time he thought of his father's unjust tragic death, Liu Bei would always clench his fists with resentment.
"That's what I said, but it's better to confirm it, now this superintendent is at the post station, I might as well go and visit, anyway, it's not strange to have many people!" Jian Yong approached Liu Bei and said.
How to say that the superintendent is also a person sent by the minister of state, and now the superintendent has come down to inspect, if he doesn't even go to the county lieutenant, then he doesn't take the county guard seriously, and this can't be said in the officialdom, thinking of this, Liu Bei had to say: "Okay, let's go." After speaking, Liu Bei stood up and sorted out his clothes as he walked.
"Xuande wait, let's just go?" Seeing that he was empty-handed, Jian Yong thought that he was confused, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
Liu Bei didn't know what Jian Yong meant, but he was an honest official, and he didn't commit any offense with Minqiu, where did it come from, besides, this is not his style, so he said at this time: "Yes, just go like this." After speaking, Liu Bei walked straight out.
"But I haven't seen it in officialdom like this, Xuande, at least bring some souvenirs!" Jian Yong begged Liu Bei at this time.
"Don't bring it, this social atmosphere is too bad, I want to see if I don't send anything, how can this superintendent do me Liu Xuande!" Liu Bei clenched his fists when he said this, and at this time he thought to himself, he is hard and I am hard, it's a big deal to break the net.
Jian Yong saw that Liu Bei had a tendon at this time, and knew that it was useless for him to say anything, so he had no choice but to give up and follow Liu Bei empty-handed.
The two soon arrived at the post station, and after reporting their identities, Liu Bei walked into the post station to meet with the superintendent.
The superintendent was having breakfast, and when he saw the county lieutenant of Anxi County coming, he looked Liu Bei up and down, and said, "You are Liu Bei?" β
"Yes, after Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan Jing, Liu Bei, the county lieutenant of Anxi." Liu Bei looked down, always expressionless.
Seeing Liu Bei's expression so arrogant, the superintendent post thought to himself What kind of bullshit after King Zhongshan Jing, he is clearly an impostor, in order to improve political capital, how can this kind of rotten person with no one in his eyes stay in the bureaucratic ranks, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible, and he can also complete the above target tasks in advance, and said at this time: "This governor post is in accordance with the will of the imperial court, and I will come here to Anxi County to eliminate those people who have no real name, and I won't tell you that you Liu Bei is one of them." β
Hearing the words of the superintendent, Liu Bei was shocked, but he was still expressionless, and said: "In the Yellow Turban Rebellion, I gathered volunteers in Zhuo County by the will of the imperial court, and then followed General Zou Jing to repel the Yellow Turban general Zhang Bao, protect the territory and the people, and be loyal to the country, I don't know why the adults want to eliminate Liu Bei." β
The post supervisor listened to his words, put down his chopsticks and sneered: "A good one to repel Zhang Bao, a good one to protect the territory and the people, this post inspector will ask you, whether you beat the volunteers during the battle, whether you protected a thief soldier during the battle, whether you also buried a thief soldier with your own hands, please answer the post governor, yes or no?" β
At this time, Liu Bei's heart tightened, and he suddenly realized that his behavior had been reported to the court by others, since this was the case, Liu Bei said unabashedly: "Yes, Liu Bei did it, but Liu Bei has a clear conscience and will never regret it." β
"Oh? Tell me how you have a clear conscience? β
"The Yellow Turban rebellion, is Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang three brothers bewitched the people, the people are forced to participate in this rebellion in desperation, if the court wants to punish the crime, only need to treat Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang three people, what is the fault of the people, they have been oppressed by the landlords for a long time, there is no food and no clothing, there is no choice to join the Taiping Road, they are bullied by corrupt officials all day long, exploited by the landlords, and finally slaughtered, let me ask, is this what the teacher of benevolence and righteousness should do? I was protecting a teenage child, whose father had been killed by the landlord, and his mother had been killed by officers and soldiers, and all I could do was bury him with my own hands. β
At this time, Liu Bei stared at the post with straight eyes: "I don't think I did anything wrong, I have a clear conscience about what I did, what should be killed are those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and those powerful landlords!" β
"Presumptuous! How can this be reasonable, help the abuse and strong words, go back and pack up your things and leave! The superintendent slapped the table heavily, flicked his sleeves, and motioned for Liu Bei to leave.
"Humph!" Liu Bei clenched his fists and walked out without looking back.
"What's the matter, your face is so ugly?" Jian Yong saw Liu Bei walking out violently, and hurriedly followed.
"This dog thing wants to eliminate me, saying that I defected on the battlefield and helped the Yellow Turban Thief." Liu Bei looked angry.
"Huh? Mistakenly, we were born and died for the imperial court, but now we are eliminated by this sin that we want to add? Jian Yong couldn't believe it.
Liu Bei looked straight ahead and did not speak.
The more he thought about it at this time, the more angry he became, did these superintendents like to calculate others so much, was it because he didn't give them gifts? Father, you died so unjustly, I didn't expect that I would encounter the same situation as my father back then. What's wrong with me protecting Chang Sheng, he is a common man, a teenager, a child who has just lost his mother......
Liu Bei thought about it, and suddenly stopped, rubbing his fists, his teeth clucking, Jian Yong saw it, and his heart was startled: "Xuande, are you okay?" β
"Hehe, I'm fine, I'm going back to the post house now." Liu Bei turned around and returned the same way.
"What are you going back for!?"
"I'm going to skin him today!" After speaking, he strode back, Jian Yong saw it and hurriedly told him not to be impulsive, and dragged Liu Bei hard, but he was just a literati, where was Liu Bei's strength, Liu Bei was so angry at this time that he had already lost his mind, shook off Jian Yong, and walked straight to the post house.
Jian Yong saw that Liu Bei would get into a big disaster sooner or later, but he couldn't stop it, so he went directly to find Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were patrolling the street.
"Stop, didn't you just come before, why did you come again?" Two guards blocked Liu Bei's way.
"I'm tired of informing you, Liu Bei has something to ask to see." Liu Bei looked ahead and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
When the doorman came back, he said, "The postmaster said that he just had a cold and was unwell, so please go back." β
Liu Bei didn't say a word when he heard this, he hit the doorman directly, and knocked down the two doormen with a punch and a kick, at this time only two curled up people were left at the door of the post house lying on the ground struggling, Liu Bei strode towards the post house, and shouted in his mouth: "On the order of the Prime Minister, severely punish the post." β
Seeing Liu Bei suddenly break in, the post supervisor glared and scolded angrily: "Liu Bei, what do you want to do, this post supervisor is a ...... of the imperial court" Before he finished speaking, Liu Bei knocked the post supervisor to the ground with a punch, and then dragged the post supervisor out of the door with one hand, and took a wooden staff in the other hand, and angrily scolded the post supervisor and said: "Back then, Cao Cao's five-color stick killed the disgusting picture, and I, Liu Bei, took your dog's life with this wooden stick today!" β
After finishing speaking, he hit him, and the superintendent hurriedly begged for mercy, and kept moaning in pain, but Liu Bei saw that the more painful the superintendent was at this time, the more excited he was, and the heavier the beating, and the surrounding people surrounded each other at this time, talking about each other.
"Well done, Lord Liu, fight hard!" A young man suddenly shouted at this time.
"Kill this dog official, Lord Liu~" was surrounded by this young man, and the crowd shouted one after another.
After Liu Bei beat the staff dozens of times, I saw Jian Yong hurriedly rushing over with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they squeezed in from the crowd, and hurriedly grabbed Liu Bei and dissuaded: "Big brother, big brother, don't fight, if you fight again, you will be killed, big brother." β
At this time, I saw the post of the governor pleading painfully: "Lord Liu, the lower official knows that it is wrong, Lord Liu, County Lieutenant Liu, you spare me, the lower official knows that it is wrong." "In order to beg for mercy, the superintendent used whatever title he hung, which is really funny, a subordinate of the Tang and Tang Dynasties, an official in the county, actually called himself a subordinate to a county lieutenant, maybe in today's world, only force is the best way to solve the problem.
When Liu Bei saw his appearance, he became more and more angry, and spat him: "You dog, you deserve to call me." β
"Yes, yes, I'm a dog thing, I'm not a human, I'm a dog thing, you don't remember the villain, you can spare me." The superintendent begged weakly.
Liu Bei felt still angry, and knew that this official couldn't do it, so he took off the ribbon seal on his body, put it on the neck of the superintendent, and then tied his head to the pillar of the bolted horse, and kicked him hard, and then took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Jian Yong to leave Anxi County.
