Chapter 19 The village chief knows the county and is a family
Wu Silian, the magistrate of Pinghu County, has always been a peaceful magistrate who doesn't care about the sky and the earth, and this time the county hunts and kills locusts, he always charges in the back row, but his voice is the one who shouts the loudest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wu Zhixian has a high level of cultivation, and he calls himself 'scholar Zhixian', he can't be rough in anything, and he likes literary alleys.
Wu Zhixian took off the sable cloak, which had not been contaminated at all in the locust plague for several months, and was as clean as new, hanging on a hanger made of purple shirt wood on his left hand, facing the purple wine on the yew wood table opposite, and was about to enjoy it, when he turned around, he heard a catcher hurriedly come to report.
After hearing this, Zhixian's expression was still the same, but his tone became grim, and he smashed the purple glass in his hand. Although the head catcher saw that the old man was angry, he also looked calm.
"What? In the place where the birds don't, there are people who dare to rebel, and the relief food for drought and locust plagues has not been allocated, and the head has gathered untouchables and surrounded the house of our seventh uncle and grandfather. ”
Sun Zhutou reluctantly agreed, and went to mobilize the Pinghu County Guard.
As a result, Sun Qi and many 'Diao people's 'criminal acts' were caught by the magistrate who rushed to the county. The villagers surrendered one after another, laying down their weapons.
At that time, this was how the magistrate came.
I saw three big horses pulling a splendid sedan chair decorated with red candles and dim tents, rushing into everyone's eyes in a hurry, behind the big red sedan chair, followed by dozens of county soldiers in tattered clothes, commonly known as 'local armed forces'.
When the horses saw that there were so many heads gathered in front of the horses, the momentum seemed to be wrong, and they were so frightened that they braked forward and the front hooves were in the air, and the inertia made the sedan chair almost roll forward, but fortunately, several cavalrymen were quick and pulled the reins, so that the sedan chair landed smoothly.
Sun Qi said secretly, it turned out that the village chief Li was anxiously waiting for this pompous figure, no wonder he was delaying time, he really had a good calculation.
Wu Zhixian pulled out the curtain and looked at it, the scene in front of him made him very surprised, what kind of people are gathered here, this is obviously a bunch of pampered country tyrants.
Everyone was dressed in brand new clothes, and everyone had a rich smile on their faces.
"The seventh uncle and grandfather have managed the village of Goudi very well, the people look ruddy, and they do not have the kind of dilapidated and poor acid after the drought and locust plague. There is also the 'wooden donkey', which the official has seen a few times in the county seat before, and it turns out that it is also from this ditch bottom village. ”
The anger of Wu Zhixian when he came has been touched by this thriving atmosphere. He nodded secretly, the seventh uncle and grandfather are really a good official who can take care of it, and he is a model for his own learning.
"The development is so good, but why is the seventh uncle and grandfather besieged by Diao Min? There must be something strange about this matter, and the official will interrogate it carefully. ”
Sun Zhutou led the county government to disperse all the villagers of Goudi Village, leaving only Sun Qi and Tie Zhu who looked like the leader.
"You stay and don't move, wait for the county lord to interrogate."
Sun Zhutou looked at Sun Qi's eyes, different from others, and was about to ask, but who expected that the county shouted that he had something, so he left in a hurry.
Wu Zhixian got off the sedan chair and walked into Lijiazhuang, and the two teams of soldiers and horses immediately opened the way, sounded the drum and flattened the road, scattered flowers and drums, so happy. The villagers didn't go far, they just watched from afar, and if something happened to Sun Qi, they would kill him.
"Seventh uncle and grandfather, have you been in good health lately? If you have any grievances, just say that you have any wrongs with this official, and let this official come to shame you. ”
The village chief Li saw Wu Zhixian, as if the dying son met his father, the pomp, grabbing Wu Zhixian's sleeve is a howling cry, snot and tears are mixed up, Sun Qi listened attentively on the side, it turned out that he was pouring bitter water, saying that the villagers who had worked hard to govern for this ditch bottom village worked hard, forgot to sleep and eat, in order to cure the locust plague, he did not close his eyes for ten days, inspected the farmland, and now this gang of Diao people has teamed up to persecute him...
"Come, Seventh Uncle and Grandpa, let's go to the house and talk."
The two joined hands, and the village chief Li glared at Sun Qi resentfully, and turned to leave.
In short, the village chief Li said so much, and did not say that he was untruthful, the overall reason, the final foothold, all pressed on Sun Qi, in the mouth of the village chief, Sun Qi became the main culprit and the leader of the scourge.
"How can this be reasonable, this poor mountain and bad water, there is a good official like the seventh uncle and grandfather, and there is a scoundrel disciple like Sun Qi, the seventh uncle and grandfather can rest assured, the official will go and ask that Sun Qi."
Wu Zhixian immediately called Sun Zhutou to escort several leaders to the house to ask for the crime. He sat on the Taishi chair by himself, so uncomfortable.
After a short time, Sun Zhutou brought a few 'heads'.
"Which one is Sun Qi? On your knees! ”
Wu Zhixian didn't know where to take a stepping brick, used it as a shengtang wood, and slapped it on the table of the eight immortals beside him, leaving a lingering mark, which smashed Li Xin, the village chief who was watching the play next to him, and wanted to cry without tears.
"My nephews and grandchildren, the table will be one hundred and eighty taels of silver!"
As soon as he heard Sun Qi's name, the head of Sun Zhutou standing behind Zhixian moved his eyes, as if he had something in his heart.
"Xiaosheng exactly!"
Sun Qi stepped forward quickly and bowed. The words are correct and round, and the tone is relaxed, without feeling the slightest official authority. He didn't kneel, but just looked at Wu Silian.
"Oh, you are, you look pretty good-eyed, who knew you would do such a bad thing, you know what the crime of gathering a crowd to rebel is?"
Wu Zhixian narrowed his Danfeng eyes and squeezed them into a thin slit, giving people a very sharp appearance. He likes such a condescending feeling, especially when dealing with this kind of Diao people who have never seen the world.
"Lord Zhixian, there is a sentence, I don't know if you have heard it."
Sun Qi struck first.
In Wu Silian's eyes, this Sun Qi doesn't feel like an ordinary Diao Min, being able to stand in front of him and talk without trembling, speak without stammering, and not grovel, which is by no means something ordinary people can do.
"Oh, what do you say?"
Wu Zhixian suddenly became interested, and at this time, Sun Zhutou suddenly whispered a few words to Wu Zhixian, and a fine light appeared in Wu Zhixian's eyes, and Sun Qi's eyes also changed.
"Water, can carry a boat, can also overturn a boat, we people, is the water that carries your big ship, what is the water potential, what the situation is, only we know, and you only listen to the words of the village elder now, to judge my personal advantages and disadvantages, is it a little unkind?"
"What kind of water, eldest son of the Sun family, do you think that if you get a water pipe, the county magistrate can't do anything to you?"
Village Chief Li continued to make a gesture on the sidelines.
Wu Zhixian secretly praised this Diao people for being knowledgeable and able to say such words as a master, and he must not be idle.
As he was talking, he suddenly heard the noise outside the door, and a few people broke through the realm of the guards and broke in, it turned out to be Sun Chao, Chang Xinyan and Mr. Cha.
"Lord Zhixian, don't listen to the villain's words."
Mr. Cha is highly respected, and as the third elder in the village, he was the first to stand up and speak.
