Huang Jie was caught in a dilemma.

He couldn't help but think of the pain when he was beaten until his skin was opened, and the humiliation and embarrassment when he was dragged to the street and paraded by onlookers.

He would rather die headfirst than bear such humiliation.

For a moment, he even had the idea of drawing his sword and killing himself to protect the reputation of the Huang family, but after a few hesitations, he never had the courage.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Su Zhe suddenly said: "However, this official is not the kind of unreasonable person, if you can repent in time and do what the official says, this official may also exempt you from punishment and allow you to resign and leave." ”

"You...... What do you want me to do? Huang Jie's eyes swelled with a glimmer of hope, but his heart was uneasy.

Su Zhe said: "Actually, it's very simple, you only need to apologize to the official and admit your mistakes, then hand over your talisman, write a handwritten letter in person, and dedicate all the soldiers and horses under your command to the county government, and the official will naturally forgive your sins and let you leave safely." ”

Huang Jie's body was suddenly shocked, and he finally realized it suddenly.

It turned out that Su Zhe's appetite was not only as big as the communiqué's personal vendetta, but he also took a fancy to the more than 1,000 private soldiers under his command and wanted to take it for himself!

The dignified eldest son of the Huang family, he was forced to admit his mistake to the poor boy, and even his own soldiers and horses had to be surrendered, and he rolled up his own gray and went home, which would be such a humiliation for his reputation.

Huang Jie clenched his fist, and his anger burned again.

At this time, Chen next to him whispered and persuaded: "Son, a hero doesn't suffer immediate losses, isn't it just admitting his mistake and throwing some soldiers and horses away, it's 10,000 times better than being scolded by him and then parading the streets, so it's really disgraceful." ”

A scoop of cold water fell on the top of Huang Shi's head, extinguishing the anger that had just rushed to his mind.

His clenched fist slowly loosened, and his solemn and angry expression gradually turned into helplessness and bitterness, and the whole person became weak.

After weighing for a long time, Huang Zhu finally took a deep breath, lowered his head, and reluctantly arched his hand: "The lower official failed to greet Su Taishou, it is indeed a rude dereliction of duty by the lower official, and I ask Su Taishou to forgive me." ”

Just know that you're not a hard guy......

Looking at the yellow shot who gave in to himself and begged for mercy, and then thought about his arrogance in front of him, Su Zhe's heart was extremely happy.

A bad breath, it's finally out, cool!

Su Zhe sneered in his heart, but he flicked his hand and said generously: "That's it, since Huang Gongzi sincerely repents and admits his mistakes, this official will not care about you. ”

Zhou Cang hurriedly gave the order, brought up the pen and ink, and put it in front of Huang Jie.

Huang Jie was scolding his mother in his heart, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction, so he sighed helplessly, picked up his pen and wrote a warrant to dedicate the soldiers and horses to the county government, and obediently presented the soldiers and charms.

After Su Zhe saw it, he nodded with satisfaction, sent someone to Su Fei, and ordered him to collect the weapons of those soldiers first, and then reorganize them on the spot.

"Su Taishou, I have done as you say, I can resign and leave now." Huang Jie said with a bitter face.

Su Zhe signaled to Hu Che'er: "You will take a team of people and horses to escort Huang Gongzi back to Xiangyang. ”

Hu Che'er took the order, walked up to Huang Jie, and shouted in a rough voice: "I said that the surname is Huang, you heard what we said too much, what are you doing standing stupidly, let's go." ”

As he spoke, he beckoned, and a team of soldiers surrounded him and "protected" Huang Jie in it.

Of course, Huang Jian knew that Su Zhe was not so kind to protect him, but he was afraid that as soon as he left Wancheng, he would send someone to sneak back to rebel against the old department that stayed in the city.

Therefore, Su Zhe deliberately sent Hu Che'er to monitor him, so that he could not take action, and when he was sent back to Xiangyang, Su Zhe had enough time to complete the reorganization of his old department, so that he had no idea where to start.

"Su Zhe, your hand is really insidious......"

Huang shot in his heart, and scolded Su Zhe's ancestors for eighteen generations, but he had to obediently thank him before leaving in a huff.

Out of the gate of the mansion, Huang Jie was "invited" to the carriage prepared for him earlier, and was quickly sent out of Wancheng under the "escort" of more than 100 soldiers of Hu Che'er.

As the carriage drove out of the city gate, Huang Jie couldn't help but lift the curtain and peek behind him.

Looking at the tall city gate that was gradually moving away, Huang Jie's eyes once again ignited cold anger, and he gritted his teeth and swore an oath: "surnamed Su, your humiliation of me today, I Huang Jie will remember it in my heart, I swear by the honor of my Huang clan, one day, I will ask you to repay tenfold, you wait for me!" ”

……

The county hall hall.

The tense atmosphere finally eased down, Su Zhe was already enjoying the good wine that originally belonged to Huang Jie, and praised it in his mouth: "Good wine, good wine, the Huang family is worthy of being a wealthy family, and the wine brewed here is also so delicious." ”

Zhou Cang below, only then came back to his senses, and exclaimed: "Childe took more than 1,000 soldiers and horses without much effort, and the means are really clever." ”

"I was trying to sleep, but I didn't expect someone to send a pillow, who let the yellow shot hit me on the muzzle, he can only be considered unlucky." Su Zhe sighed with a smile.

Zhou Cang suddenly thought of something again, and arched his hand: "But, isn't the son afraid, the dog surnamed Huang jumped off the wall in a hurry, in order to save his reputation, is he really fighting with us to break the net?" ”

Su Zhe snorted disappreliantly, "If Huang Jie had this backbone, I wouldn't have scared him so much, he has a few catties and taels, I can't see it clearly." ”

Zhou Cang suddenly realized, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, admiring Su Zhe even more.

At this time, there was a person outside the hall, holding a large stack of bamboo slips, staggering in and serving in front of Su Zhe's case.

That person is Li Yan.

"What are these things?" Su Zhe's eyes glanced at the mountains of bamboo slips.

Li Yan arched his hand and said: "Back to Taishou, these bamboo slips are the official documents accumulated by the Huang County Order for more than a month, and now the Huang County Order has resigned and left, and the new county order has not yet taken office, and the Taishou is just there, and the Xia Guan can only submit these official documents to the Taishou for disposal." ”

Document?

Su Zhe casually flipped through a few volumes, and there were all kinds of official documents about the judgment of criminal prisons, taxes on money and grain, and dredging rivers, and there were as many as 100 of them.

"What's the matter, Huang Jian has only been the Wancheng Commander for a month, why has he backlogged so many official duties, how did he become the county commander?" Su Zhe's brows furrowed, and he threw the bamboo slip in his hand on the desk.

At the bottom of the stairs, the officials of Wancheng County all lowered their heads, and no one squeaked, obviously not daring to offend Huang Jie.

"Li Xiancheng, tell me, how did Huang Jie's county order be?" Su Zhe's gaze was fixed on Li Yan.

"Does Taishou want to hear the truth or a lie?" Li Yan asked rhetorically.
