Outside the county government of Baode County, there were crowds of people, discussions, and the emotions of the people were all high.

Cui Wenqing, who was sitting behind the table, looked around, raised the startled wood and slapped it towards the sudden tabletop, and said in a loud voice: "Now that this official is starting to ascend to the court, please be quiet." ”

When these words landed, the original buzzing discussion disappeared, and the people all quieted down, looking at Cui Wenqing intently, waiting for the following.

Cui Wenqing paused, and then said solemnly: "But before asking the people to petition, this official feels that there is still a major matter that needs to be dealt with!" After speaking, his voice suddenly turned stern and high-pitched, "Come on, bring Ye Changchun, the county commander of Baode County, up!" ”

When these words fell, the people were all surprised and inexplicable, and they didn't understand why this minister said "charge" instead of "please"? Why?

However, before they could come back to their senses, they saw that it was really four officials who brought Ye Changchun out of the middle hall, and they pushed their hands to the bottom of the steps to fight against Cui Wenqing.

It can be seen that Ye Changchun, who is majestic and arrogant on weekdays, has turned into a gray face and embarrassed at this time.

Although he is still wearing a decent official uniform, his originally straight waist is unconsciously a little rickety, which shows a bit of obscenity.

And the people who were closer to Ye Changchun were even more shocked to find that Ye Changchun's legs were trembling uncontrollably, obviously afraid of something.

Seeing that the surroundings were full of onlookers, and Cui Wenqing, the minister of the Imperial Mission, was sitting on the high platform with a serious face, Ye Changchun was already frightened.

He was originally a landlord, how could he have seen such a battle, and stammered to Cui Wenqing: "Cui Wenqing...... Good ...... Anyway, it's also a seven-pin county order, but you're just ...... From the sixth grade to inspect the school to appease the envoy, how can you do this to me?! ”

Cui Wenqing's face did not change, and he said coldly: "This official patrols the state on behalf of the emperor, investigates the lawlessness, and administers justice, even if it is the history of the assassination of the state, the official also has the right to cut first and then play, how can your small county order be an exception!" ”

"You...... You," Ye Changqing was so angry that he was almost speechless, and he said sharply only after a half-loud voice, "I am the county order recommended by the Zhenwu Army to the Governor of Zhezhao, even if the imperial court wants to ask me for a crime, I must ask the Governor of Zhe's opinion!" ”

Cui Wenqing sneered: "Even if it is Zhezhao, you must obey the jurisdiction of the imperial court, how can Daqi be a country within a country!" Your Excellency's words are really disloyal, and today this official will replace the Governor of Zhe to punish you, a mediocre official! ”

At this time, the people finally understood that the newly arrived minister of Qincha was going to ask Ye Changchun, the county magistrate of Baode County!

Ye Changchun's official reputation in Baode County was not very good, and he had been ignoring the people's complaints during this time, and all the people applauded and cheered for a while.

Cui Wenqing was shocked and motioned to the people to be quiet for the time being, and said with a calm face: "Everyone, today this official Weifu came to Baode County for a private visit, and saw the people besieging the county government to see the county commander Ye Changchun, but Ye Changchun not only failed to listen to the people's feelings, but also had fun in the back hall, watching singing and dancing, such an act is really the scum of officialdom and mediocrity!" Now this official in the capacity of the pacification envoy of Xuzhou, the minister of the Qincha, dismissed Ye Changchun Baode County county magistrate, before the new county decree arrived, this official will sit in Suizhou, for the villagers and elders to administer justice! ”

When the words fell, the audience was thunderous, and all the people didn't expect that this young minister of the Qin Mission would be so bold in doing things, and he would directly dismiss the county magistrate of Baode County.

At the same time, Ye Changchun's face was pale, his body trembled with fright, and his legs were weak and he was already slumped on the ground.

Cui Wenqing glanced at Ye Changchun in disgust, and coldly ordered: "Come on, strip off the official uniform that Ye Changchun is wearing, and take off his official hat!" ”

"No!"

When the four officials heard the order, two of them directly set up Ye Changchun, who was sitting on the ground, another stepped forward to take off his official hat, and the last one took off his official uniform!

Suddenly, Ye Changchun, the county magistrate who was originally a powerful official, was directly stunned, describing himself as indescribably embarrassed.

Cui Wenqing waved his hand and said: "Directly escort this person away and send him to Hequ County to be handed over to Zhezhao and Xuzhou Assassin History." ”

The official received the order and immediately escorted Ye Changchun away.

It was only at this time that Ye Changchun reacted, and immediately shouted hoarsely: "Cui Wenqing, you cool official, you dare to deprive yourself of your official position, I must go to the Governor of Zheda to sue you, so that you can't eat and walk around, you wait!" ”

Hearing this, the people naturally knew how powerful the governor was to show the power of the governor, who was a high-ranking official comparable to the prime minister, and for a while they couldn't help but worry about this young and upright minister.

On the other hand, Su Shi, Ning Zhen and others showed a ridiculous look, and went to Zhezhao to sue Cui Wenqing, this person is really stupid!

After escorting Ye Changchun away, Cui Wenqing showed the first hint of a smile, and said in a loud voice: "Fathers and fellow villagers, if the mediocre officials are not punished, the court will not be able to demonstrate fairness and justice. After saying that, he looked at the people with a smile and tried to make himself look as easy-going.

However, Cui Wenqing's voice fell half loudly, but the people seemed a little hesitant, and no one took the lead to come up.

Cui Wenqing also knew that under the current situation that was not very clear, many timid and fearful people did not dare to state their grievances first, so he remembered a person and said with a smile: "By the way, before this official entered the county government just now, he asked an old man, and I don't know if it is convenient for the old man to come out to present his grievances. ”

Hearing this, the people all looked at each other, not knowing who the old man in Cui Wenqing's mouth was.

However, the old man in the crowd naturally knew that Cui Wenqing was talking about himself, and he didn't expect that this minister of the Qin mission actually remembered himself, and his excited old face suddenly turned red, and a wave of blood suddenly surged above his head, and he walked out of his knees without hesitation and said loudly: "The old boy greets the minister of the Qin mission." ”

Cui Wenqing waved his hand and said: "The old man's legs and feet are inconvenient, come, sit down!" ”

The words fell, and immediately a servant came to the front of the embroidery pier and helped the old man to sit on the embroidery pier.

"Thank you, Master Cui, for sitting down!" The old man was grateful to Cui Wenqing again.

Cui Wenqing nodded and smiled: "By the way, Shi Cai didn't ask the name of the old man in a hurry, I don't know the old man's surname?" ”

"Don't be surnamed Wang." Although the old man was born in the countryside, the people of Jiangnan Province seem to have a bookish atmosphere that is different from other places, and his speech is also crepe.
