Chapter 156: Bruce

After Sophia stopped the carriage, she immediately ran to the seat in the back row, held Clifford with both hands, and said with a worried face: "Master, how are you?" Does it matter? ”

Clifford coughed heavily, shook his head, and said, "I'm fine, leave me alone." Go get him, don't let him run! ”

It is said that after the little official was kicked off the carriage by Sophia, he fell to the ground and rolled several times, and his body was in pain, he never thought that this seemingly weak chick actually had this kind of skill, but he also knew that now was not the time to think about this, his tricks had been exposed, and if it fell into the hands of the other party, it would not necessarily be rectified. So, I didn't lie on the ground for long, and after the pain in my body subsided, I immediately got up and ran.

Unexpectedly, before he could run a few steps, he was caught up by Sophia, who was chasing from behind, and kicked a dog to eat.

Sophia had long been so angry with the master of this conspiracy that she didn't talk nonsense to him, took out the dagger she was close to her, pulled the little official over, put it against his neck and shouted angrily: "Say! Who sent you? ”

At this moment, the other men of Clifford, who had noticed that the situation was not right, also rushed over, some of them went to help Clifford, and the other part surrounded the little official in the middle.

The little official was fearless, and he was not afraid when he saw so many people surrounding him, he looked at Sophia, and said coldly: "No one instructed me, I just wanted to surprise the newly appointed county magistrate!" With that, he turned his head away, looking very arrogant.

Sophia was so angry that her face was frosty, she had been engaged in espionage for many years, how could she be deceived by this little official's nonsense, and just wanted to continue to ask, but she heard a "snap" - it was the sound of a leather whip hitting a person.

Immediately afterward, there was a painful cry from the little official.

Sophia turned her head and saw that Clifford had come by at some point, and that he was still holding a leather whip in his hand, and was looking at the little official viciously, as if she wanted to eat him raw.

Collie Fu has long been angry, your grandmother's, since Lao Tzu crossed over, which of the kings, princes, princesses, and governors has not been played by Lao Tzu? This time, I suffered the humiliation of you, a little official, for no reason, is it really bearable, who is unbearable? If I spare you today, how will Lao Tzu mix on this ground in the future?

Thinking of this, he was even more furious, and "snapped" and "snapped" several whips of the little official, and the little official howled and rolled incessantly.

The little official was beaten with more than a dozen whips like this, and he really couldn't bear it, he knew that the earl was ruthless, and if he continued to carry it today, there was a possibility that he would be beaten to death.

Out of the desire to survive and the fear of the leather whip in Clifford's hand, the little official finally relented, holding his head and shouting, "Don't fight, don't fight." Lord Prefectural, I don't say it for your own good, I'm afraid you'll get yourself in trouble. ”

There was a "snap" and another whip went down. Ke Lifu's facial expression was distorted, and he gritted two rows of steel teeth and said angrily: "Fuck you! You, Lao Tzu told you, this is Lao Tzu's territory, here, no one can do anything to me?! ”

After that, he whipped two more whips, still angry.

"I say, I say." The little official lost his temper completely, and said in his heart: This county order is really stunned, and I don't want to think about it, my little official dares to offend you, the county commander, there must be someone behind it, and the person who instructed me is definitely not simple, and you still need to see the owner to beat the dog, why don't you do it without asking clearly? This is too out of the box.

But now the little official didn't have time to think too much, if he didn't say anything, he would definitely get a few more whips, and when he saw that Clifford's leather whip was about to fall again, he immediately stretched out his hand to cover his face, and said, "I said, I said." It's Lord Bruce in the city who knows that the new magistrate of the county has taken office and wants to surprise you. ”

Bruce? It's this old guy again, this is already the name that Clifford has heard more than once, and every time he hears it, it is not good news, and Zhennyima is unlucky.

After thinking about it for a while, Clifford understood the trick, it seemed that Bruce already knew that he had asked Sanji for the IOU he wrote, and he must have come out like this today, he must be afraid that he would go to him to ask for money in the future, so he would give himself a disadvantage first.

Lao Tzu hasn't looked for you yet, but you came to the door first, if you don't give you some color to see, do you really think of yourself as the master of this Heihe County?

Colliff stopped beating the servant, threw aside the whip stained with sweat on his palms, and shouted to his men: "Tie him up!" Drag it on a horse, come with me! ”

"Yes, master!" Immediately, a few big men came out, grabbed the little official like a chicken, cut his hands behind his back, and tied him with the rope that tied the pig.

The little official was so frightened that his face was pale, and he naturally knew what it meant to be a perennial person? Being tied to the back of a horse and dragged along, as uncomfortable as it was, and if it was not good, it would kill someone, and immediately shouted while struggling: "No, no." Lord Prefectural, please let me go this time, I still have an old mother at home, and a wife and children to support! If I die, they will go hungry and be bullied. ”

Clifford was very unhappy with his statement, and said coldly: "Now you know that you are afraid? It's late! Who doesn't have an old mother? Who doesn't have children? When you made up your mind to do something bad, you should have thought that there would be consequences today. Whether your family is hungry or bullied, it's all due to you, a black-hearted ghost, no wonder others! Tie him up, and Lord Ben will kill this monkey today! ”

"Be honest! If you scream like a pig again, I'll reward you with a few more whips! Clifford's men were not good-natured, and they were even more furious when they saw that their master was almost killed by this miscellaneous, and when they heard Clifford's order, they kicked him twice, and then tied, and tied, without saying a word, to his horse.

The little official refused to eat the soft one, and then used the last trick and threatened: "Coolford, don't think that you can cover the sky in Heihe County with one hand if you make a county order!" I tell you clearly, we are the county magistrate of flowing water, the iron-beaten Lord Bruce, if you offend him, you don't want to have a good end, and the previous Hogg is a living example. ”

It's okay not to mention Hogg, but when I mention Hogg, I am even more angry, no matter how I say that Hogg is also his brother, even if they are not so familiar with each other, it is not something that you, a low-level official, can arrange, so angry that he kicked him twice, and said angrily: "Lao Tzu came to Heihe County today to fight tigers, not to swatt flies!" Whoever is the most arrogant will hit whom? I want people to know that this Heihe County is the territory of the kingdom, not someone's private territory! You're keeping my eyes open - assuming you're alive in a while, of course! ”

Ignoring the wailing of the servant, he waved his horsewhip and shouted, "Enter the city!" ”

"Yes, master!" All of his men, including Sophia, bowed heavily like Clifford and shouted loudly, with a rainbow of momentum and high spirits, because they were about to enter a city that belonged to them.

Clifford rode on his horse, dragged the little official behind the horse, and drove into the city without hurrying or slow, and he did not go directly to the county office, but deliberately took the little official around the crowded street, as a show of majesty to the inhabitants of the city, and then drove straight to Bruce's mansion.

Along the way, there were more and more people watching the excitement, although they didn't know Clifford, but most of them knew this little official, but seeing that he was arrogant and domineering on weekdays, he was dragged by others like a dead dog today, and those who had been bullied by him couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"Who is this young man on a horse? How dare you do this to this little official? He didn't know that this person was ruthless, wasn't he afraid of his revenge in the future? ”

"Who knows? Maybe it's a son of a powerful family, he must be used to being powerful and blessed on weekdays, and he is not afraid of anything! ”

"I can't see it, this young man doesn't seem to be a local, I've never seen him before, not to mention anything else, I still know about those children of the powerful families in this county."

"Could it be that he is the legendary new county magistrate? It seems that I can match this age. ”

"Such a young prefectural order? Hey, it's really young and ignorant, who doesn't know that this little official has Master Bruce as a backer behind him, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog, he does this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold here in the future. ”

Clifford ignored the gossip of these people, this is what he wanted, since you don't want to pretend to be in public with your face as Bruce, then I will naturally not be polite, and I will also slap you in the face.

Today's lesson to this little official is to let all the people in Heihe County know that in this Heihe County, it is not your turn to say the old boy!

Amid the surprise and discussion of the crowd, Clifford dragged the little official to Bruce's mansion, but seeing that his mansion was majestic and magnificent, even those mansions in the royal capital could not suppress its limelight.

Clifford looked at Bruce's glorious mansion, a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, and said secretly: "It seems that you, the little old man, have been very successful as the Minister of Personnel, and for so many years, you have not received less filial piety from others, right?" ”

At this moment, Bruce's porter saw Clifford, as well as the little man he dragged like a dead dog. The same dog leg of Lord Bruce, he also knew the little official, out of the sadness of the rabbit and the fox, he was immediately furious, pointed at Clifford and scolded: "Who are you?!" How dare you treat the officials of this county like this?! ”

Coleford sneered, sat on the horse, drooped his eyes, skimmed the dog's leg very disdainfully, and said lightly: "Lord Ben is the new county magistrate, ask your Lord Bruce to come out and speak!" ”

If it were someone else, the servant would definitely say, "Is our family the one you want to see?" However, since Collie Fu blew up his family, he is the parent official of this county, and it is not easy to provoke him when he looks like this, so he is embarrassed for a moment, and said: "Wait a minute, I'll go in and report!" ”

Collifo was furious, "Smack"! With a thud, a whip was whipped in the face of the porter, and he shouted, "Dare to be a slave! Is that how you talk to the prefectural magistrate? Undisciplined stuff! "Anyway, it's to offend people, and simply offend to the end.

The porter looked confused, he didn't know what he had done wrong at first, he was stunned, and after thinking about it, he realized that he had said the word "you" to the county magistrate.

Youdao is the prime minister's doorman, although Bruce has not been the prime minister, but he retired from the position of the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and his status is not trivial, not to mention a small county order, even if the county guard of Heihe County sees him, he has to be careful.

Bruce is so arrogant, his protΓ©gΓ© is naturally rising, he really doesn't take a county order seriously on weekdays, and it is polite to say the word "you", I didn't expect this new stunned young man to be so serious, do you want to get mixed up?

Seeing that he was still in place, Collie was even more angry in his heart, and gave him another whip, and said angrily: "Lord Ben is not only a county commander, but also an earl, and a nobleman. You ninth-rate slave dare to be rude to Lord Ben, and it won't be okay if I kill you. ”

Hearing this, the porter was completely stunned, if he could not take the county order to heart, then the name of the earl, he was still very afraid, after all, it belonged to the ruling class, and he belonged to the bottom of the ruled class, if he angered the nobles, he really had only one way to die, and Bruce might not be able to keep him at that time, and immediately covered his face that was twitched by Clifford, bowed and nodded frequently: "Yes, yes." Earl, you wait a moment, and the villain will go and report to you. Before, the villain had eyes and didn't know Mount Tai, and asked the earl not to be like the villain. ”

"That's pretty much it, get out." Clifford waved his hand and shouted with a whip.

"Yes, yes." The porter nodded hurriedly, then ran in with his face covered and smoked.

After a while, Lord Bruce came out with his men to greet him, and he could disdain the other county orders, and even find an excuse not to see. But Clifford's name is too big, as early as when he was in the royal capital, he was famous in the capital, and when he arrived in the three counties in the north, he had to pay attention to it, so he personally greeted him, wanting to see this legendary figure with his own eyes, and as soon as he met, he greeted with a slight smile: "It turned out that the county commander arrived, and Bruce missed the welcome, and asked the county commander to forgive him." ”
