Chapter 171: Want to See a Joke? No way!

Killing people is not enough, but what I am most afraid of is that capital crimes can be avoided and life is the most unforgivable. Therefore, for the father and son of the Hu family, who are now tied up strongly, this imminent cane punishment is terrifying. Although Hu Lizheng is only a small Lizheng, he is also the master of the same in the countryside, although there is not much land in the family, but even the big landlords have to be respectful to him. The reason why he is this is just to be able to play majestic in front of people, and when he is chasing errands with a stick on weekdays, he has always been exempt from responsibility, of course, he has never tasted the taste of the board.

"Dad, why did you get dragged out too?"

"You dead boy, if it weren't for the incident you provoked, how could your father and I be here to tie up!"

"What the hell are you talking about! Dead old man, if you hadn't listened to the words of the county master and offended that hairy boy Zhixian, how could I have to suffer like this! ”

"You...... Damn stinky boy, you ...... You're mad at me! ”

The father and son scolded each other, but the crowd of people around them looked at each other silently. It's not a day or two to play boards in this yamen, especially when it comes to paying money and grain every year, not to mention ordinary people, even Lizheng will most likely be dragged down and beaten because the deadline is not completed. In those days, the special bamboo board had to be replaced with a new one in half a month. However, even so, this Hu Lizheng has never been beaten by the board because of the lack of tax collection.

Today, a new county actually took the father and son under the knife, and it was not executed in the courtyard, but in front of the public. Is this the height of the sky, or is this Anqiu County about to change?

There are a total of more than 20 errand servants in Anqiu County, but the four people who were executed only entered the yamen before Zhang Yue arrived, and they have always been ridden on the head by a few old people, so Xinzhi County hooked their fingers, and the four of them willingly got hooked. This time, they quickly pressed the Hu family's father and son on the ground with their hands and feet and tied them, and the two of them picked up the big bamboo board one by one. He stepped forward with bad intentions, and his face showed an unusual excitement.

Although the master's order is to beat them painfully, but they can't seriously injure or die, but they can toss this usually rampant and domineering character, how many trips can they encounter in their lives?

At this time, although the son of the Hu family, whose hands and feet were firmly tied, was terrified, he still had a trace of luck, and shouted loudly at this time: "If you dare to beat me." I'll let you die without a place to bury...... Ouch mom, it hurts me! ”

The onlookers saw that the big bamboo board was genuine, and they were suddenly in a sensation. Although Zhang Yue had given special orders, the four errand servants still needed to be beaten the most, so they naturally took out their housekeeping skills. The bystanders saw that there was a bruise on the snow-white light of the Hu family's son, and every board trembled and screamed loudly in pain, and gradually they all applauded loudly next to them, and even those who had been oppressed on weekdays screamed there with pleasure. And Hu Lizheng is old after all. The errand officer had no mercy on his subordinates, and even so, he was full of tears and snot, and his appearance was miserable.

Just as the attendant next to him was counting loudly, a sharp-eyed old man saw an acquaintance peasant coming out of the yamen with an excited face. He remembered that he had earlier urged the other party not to go to the yamen to complain. At this time, seeing this scene, I couldn't help but wonder, and hurriedly went up to ask. The farmer was already excited at this time, and immediately waved a thing in his hand and shouted.

"Lord Qingtian...... Lord Qingtian not only allowed me to get the land, but also asked the Hu family to pay me 30 yuan to buy cattle! ”

People were still watching with great interest as the servants played the boards. As soon as he heard this, he immediately diverted his attention. Some people recognized that it was Zhang Erniu, the most honest farmer in Wanli Township, and was busy asking what was going on, and after asking clearly, someone immediately clapped and applauded loudly, but more people were still a little suspicious, and when they turned their heads to look at the two former tyrannical people who were beaten to death, they barely believed it.

Believe it, but no one thinks about going to the yamen to sue because Zhang Erniu has benefited. More people are thinking about whether the newly arrived magistrate of the government is tricking others to go to the yamen to file a complaint, so as to exploit more from it.

The crowd of onlookers included men, women and children, and there were many young people in the northeast corner. A young man standing at the forefront whispered to a girl in green cloth next to him: "Fourth sister, this Hu family is the most hateful, last time Fifth Brother Liu went to contact the parishioners, he was bitten by his vicious dog!" This board is really relieved! ”

"It's just a dog-eat-dog in the government, if you want to really get out of our chests. It's up to us to do it ourselves! This dog official is just a newcomer and a trick to deceive the people. Where is it worthy of what Qingtian master! This God's eyes have long been blind, how can there be any blue sky! ”

When the young man heard this, his face immediately turned grimacing. quickly diverted the topic and said a few other words. It wasn't until the two sides of the board were finished that he wanted to suggest leaving, but he heard the girl sneer.

"If this is a common people, let alone eighty rods and ninety rods, even ten rods may be dead, where can they survive until this time? I thought that I would beat my brother-in-law to death with twenty rods...... Hmph, a dog official is a dog official after all, and officials protect each other, but it's just to show others! Let's go, you don't need to watch this drama much, it makes me sick for no reason! ”

Some people feel that this cane punishment is painful, some people feel that this cane punishment is disgusting, some people feel that this cane punishment is shocking as if it is hitting themselves, and some people feel that this cane punishment is happy now, but Xinzhi County will be unlucky in the future. When this board was finished, the Hu family came, but it was Hu Lizheng's mother-in-law. The mother-in-law cried and scolded, and when she saw the ill-intentioned executioners in the yamen, and the people around her were gloating, she had to find two spring stools and hire someone to carry her husband and son back.

It's amazing along the way, I heard that Anqiu Erba was beaten, and wherever they walked, a group of people would surround them, all of them staring intently at the Hu family's son's bare cheeks who didn't have a piece of good meat, and they were amazed when they saw it. If it were in the past, the mother-in-law of the Hu family would have driven people away with a scolding, but at this time her heart was full of sorrow.

That's eighty and ninety rods, and the husband and son won't be broken, right?

There was a crackling crackle and a dozen bamboo boards, and the county government suddenly fell into an eerie silence. They are all locals, and of course the officials know which rich and powerful people in Anqiu County can't afford to mess with. So except for a few young people who were unfamiliar with the situation and some young people who were shocked, most of them secretly sneered at Zhang Yue's majestic board, but they never dared to mention it outside. After all, this stunned Qingxinzhi County even dares to fight the Hu family, who is willing to have a bad meal?

So, the county Cheng Luowei and the chief bookkeeper Zhao Ming also told for sick leave, but the others did not dare to delay like this, and they all canceled their leave and came back to work on duty. continued to watch Zhang Yue rely on those seemingly omnipotent long-term followers and gradually grasp the power of the county government. Anyone who cares knows that this is just a temporary situation, and they all think about the scene of the Hu family's backing in Qingzhou Mansion to fight the county government, and they are all gloating and looking forward to that good show.

After half a year of taking office, Qian Zhixian had an accident and resigned, and it was the turn of the new prefect of the stunned young man, I am afraid that the record of the shortest-lived county in Anqiu County will be refreshed again!

At the moment when others were looking forward to it, Zhang Yue's life was tense and fulfilling. Taking advantage of Luo Wei Zhao Ming's inconvenience, he not only took the opportunity to take back the power in the hands of the two, but also began to check the old accounts and old case files. It's not all about settling old scores. He was also reminded by the two elders for fear of carrying the black pot for others. Naturally, in addition to his diligence and busyness on the surface, he had to make a few small moves behind his back.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, just when the Hu family's father and son were beaten by the board, Zhang Yue sent a messenger to the door to send them to prison according to the law. A dozen fast horses stopped at the gate of the Yamen of Anqiu County. A few errands in front of the wall only glanced at it and understood,

"What about your young magistrate? Let him come to me! ”

When they heard that vicious question, all the officers immediately ran inside to report the news, and none of them wanted to stay outside. It is said that the yamen is strong. But they just beat people, what are they compared to those soldiers who wield knives and kill people without saying a word? That's the commander of the second grade, and the entire Shandong soldiers and horses are under his control, and the county lord is happy when he beats people, but this time he will be unlucky!

At this moment, others naturally won't come out to help Zhang Yue talk, even after the few errand officers finished reporting the letter, they all smeared oil on the soles of their feet, and waited until Zhang Yue went out of the county government gate to bypass the wall. When he saw the dozen or so majestic soldiers, and the middle-aged generals who were about forty years old and dressed in a fiery red coat, he actually found that there was no one on the street in front of the door.

Sure enough, the generals who have been soldiers in these years have a really bad reputation.

The middle-aged general's eyes widened and he glanced at it, and suddenly asked in a deep voice, "You are Zhang Yue?" ”

"Exactly."

As soon as Zhang Yue said this, the man jumped off the horse, threw down the reins casually, and walked straight forward with the horsewhip. He was extremely tall. Standing in front of Zhang Yue, he was half a head taller than him. He looked at him condescendingly for a long time. He muttered angrily: "Although he is a civil official, how can he look so weak?" ”

He muttered. The voice was louder: "Boy, do you know who I am?" ”

"Who in the entire Shandong Province doesn't know Liu Dushuai's name?" Zhang Yue was very calm at this time, and said with a smile, "Naturally, no one in the world knows that Liu Dushuai used to recruit from the British Duke and made great achievements. ”

"Good, good!" The sycophant slapped the idea, and Liu Zhong naturally laughed, "Good boy, as soon as you took office, you dared to beat my relatives half to death, there is a kind!" Hey, I think that when the British Duke first arrived in Jiaozhi, he killed two partial generals who did not obey military orders, you have the legacy of the Zhang family, and it is a pity to be a civil official!

It was not the first time that Zhang Yue had dealt with military generals, and he knew that they hated his mother-in-law the most, so he smiled and said: "Liu Dushuai means that if I am a military attache under you, but I beat your relatives, you will not blame?" ”

"It's just a nephew of the concubine, if this has to be asked, I won't be tired half to death!" Liu Zhong waved his hand indifferently, and then stretched out his big hand to help Zhang Yue up, because he said with a smile, "Although you are not under my control, if you start from the British public, I can also be regarded as your elder." Let's go, take me to your county office to have a good look! ”
