Ma De's resignation, and other officials shouted that they would also resign. More than 100 people shouted together, how loud the voice was. Yue Su's heart was shocked, how could he, who had been a policeman for many years, not know how powerful it was, everyone resigned, wouldn't he have become an empty magistrate.

The crowd below was turbulent, and Yue Su gasped, but he immediately reacted, these people were instigated to come to the palace. If you give in now, the other party will definitely gain an inch, and it will be even more difficult to clean up later.

After a little thought, he immediately came up with an idea. He slammed the startled wood and shouted, "Silence! Since you plan to resign, the official will not stop you, and will approve them one by one. ”

As soon as there was a startling sound, there was immediately silence below, but Yue Su's words were something they never expected. They were actually approved to resign. Everyone was stunned and stared at each other, not knowing what to do next. I had to look at the county lord who was sitting on the side.

Xia Kuan smiled at them, stretched out his hand and shook it, telling them that it was okay.

There was silence below, and Yue Su said loudly: "Ma De, this official has approved your resignation, why don't you take off your uniform, take off your saber, and stay in the lobby?" ”

Ma De snorted, stepped aside, and began to undress, but his movements were extremely slow, wanting to see how Yue Su ended.

Yue Su smiled indifferently on it and said, "Who wants to resign, hand over the resignation letters one by one." After speaking, he looked at Tong Xuan, "Tong Zhutou, are you also planning to resign?" ”

Tong Xuan did not answer, but took out a piece of paper from his bosom, unfolded it, respectfully sent it to the public case, and then bowed and stepped aside.

Yue Su glanced at the paper, then laughed, nodded with satisfaction, folded the paper and put it aside, pointed to a catcher in front of him and said, "What is your name, why did you resign?" ”

"The subordinate is named Zhao Si, because his father is sick, so he resigned and went home to take care of him."

"Filial piety is commendable, yes. Leave your uniform and saber behind, and you're good to go! After Yue Su finished speaking, he pointed to the side and asked Zhao Si to go over and undress.

Zhao Si really took it off when he saw it, his heart was seven up and down, and there was no one to settle down, if such a good job was really lost, how could he explain it when he went home. At that moment, he stood motionless, standing in place, not knowing what to do.

"Zhao Si, aren't you going to resign? Since you don't want to be a fast catcher, you still wear this suit, what do you want to keep your saber? Yue Su's eyes widened, and he suddenly shouted: "Don't take off this set of uniforms for me quickly!" ”

Ma De really watched it on the side, but he didn't expect that these catchers under his command would be so mischievous, so he said: "Zhao Si, come to my side and take off your uniform." ”

With Ma De's words, Zhao Si had a little confidence, walked to Ma De's side slowly, and began to take off his uniform.

Yue Su pointed to another catcher, still the question just now, and asked him what his name was and why he resigned. The quick answer, which was almost the same as Zhao Si's, Yue Su immediately approved and asked him to take off his clothes. This guy is the same, procrastinating, and it took a long time to walk to Mader and take off his uniform.

Next, Yue Su ordered more than 20 more arresters, these people were all like this, and they reluctantly walked to Ma De's side to take off their uniforms, but there were more people, and their courage seemed to be stronger. The further back you go, the faster you move.

Yue Su looked at it, it was almost the same, he couldn't really fire all the catches at once. At this time, he didn't ask the next one, but looked at Tong Zhou and said: "The chief catcher Sun Dacheng has resigned, the so-called snake has no head, this vacancy has to be filled as soon as possible!" Immediately, his voice suddenly raised, "Tong Xuan, this official will promote you to be the chief catcher of my Yangshuo County now, are you willing to serve as the head." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked, and they turned their heads to look at Tong Xuan one by one, wondering if he agreed. I saw Tong Xuan take two steps forward, came to the front of the public case, knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "Thank you for your support, my subordinates will go to the soup and fight the fire, and I will never give up!" ”

"Excellent! Get up. ”

"Thank you, sir." Tong Zhou stood up this time, really holding his head up, and he was full of spirit.

Yue Su said loudly again: "Now there are many vacancies in the third class of errands, and this county orders you to post the list and re-recruit immediately." ”

"Subordinates obey!" Tong Xuan agreed, and when he saw Yue Su waving his hand at him, he immediately stepped aside.

Recruiting Tong Xuan, Yue Su's authority was even stronger, and he pointed to a messenger and said, "What is your name and why did you resign?" ”

When the officer saw him, he trembled with fright, and if he didn't understand it, he would be a fool. Now, if you say that you are willing to resign, then you will immediately take off your clothes and leave, and it will be very difficult to ask for this job in the future. It can be said that with Tong Zhou as the chief catcher, even if all the errand servants resign, as long as a notice is issued, it can be made up in less than two days.

The job in the Ming Dynasty was not so easy to find, especially such an errand of drought and flood protection, you don't want to do it, some people are willing to do it.

This kid is not stupid, he knows what it means that his little arms can't twist his thighs, so he hurriedly replied: "The villain's name is Liu Sanwang, and he doesn't plan to resign." ”

"And what did you just shout?" Yue Su shouted loudly.

"They shouted, but the villain didn't shout." Liu Sanwang said tremblingly.

"Since you don't want to resign, then stand on the side of Tong Zhutou and don't get in the way of others." Yue Su said.

"Yes, yes......" Liu Sanwang's hanging heart finally fell, and he hurriedly ran to Tong Zhou's side.

Yue Su saw that he was shocked by everyone, and he didn't want to waste time with them any longer, so he shouted: "This official still has something to do, and he doesn't have the time to talk nonsense with you. If you don't want to resign, you will stand on the side of Tong Zhu's head. ”

When the catchers heard this, they didn't know what to do, they either turned their heads to look at Tong Zhou, or turned back to look at Ma De, at this moment, Ma De didn't know what to do. He has resigned, and he has no identity as a headcatcher, who will buy his account on the street in the future, and it is estimated that those ruffians who were beaten by him at the beginning, when they hear the news, they will soon find him to settle accounts. Now, he regrets this in his heart.

The officers did not move immediately, and Sun Dacheng was still there, and everyone didn't know how to advance or retreat. There are a few henchmen of Tong Zhou, seeing that the boss is sitting in the position of the head catcher, each of them is happy in their hearts, and they are pressed by Sun Dacheng's people, and there has always been very little oil and water, and from now on, they will finally be able to raise their eyebrows.

The boys quickly got together, didn't speak, exchanged glances with each other, and walked towards Tong Zhou together. At this juncture, as long as there is a movement, everyone can immediately see the direction of the wind, and the errand cannot be lost.

At that moment, everyone rushed to Tong Zhou's side without hesitation. When the dust settled, the officers who were standing on Ma De's side before were dumbfounded, looked at Ma De, and looked at each other, and immediately ran to Yue Su and knelt down in front of Yue Su with a quick reaction. "Adult, villain doesn't want to resign."

There is a second one, and more than 20 catchers who have not yet taken off their uniforms knelt down, crying and shouting one by one: "Adult, the villain doesn't want to resign......"

"Aren't you having something going on at home? Some still want to go home to fulfill their filial piety, how can the official stop them. They all hurriedly took off their uniforms for me, and quickly left the lobby, you are no longer my Yangshuo County County Ya, if you are staying, be careful of the crime of disturbing the public court! After Yue Su finished speaking, he slammed the startled wood.

"My lord, there is nothing in the villain's house, please leave the villain behind." "Adult, the villain's mother has passed away a long time ago, so you don't have to go home to take care of it, beg the adult to keep the little one, and the villain will never dare to do it again in the future." "My lord, the villain's father is not sick, it was Sun Dacheng and Ma De who instructed us to do this, please ask the adults to be gracious, and leave the villain to continue to do things in the ya, and the villain will definitely go to the soup and die forever." ……

These people cried pitifully, but Yue Su did not have the slightest pity, he understood that if he didn't punish them well this time and give them a dismount, the other servants would think that he was soft-hearted. He shouted, "Where is the child! ”

"The subordinates are here!" Tong Zhou replied.

"Don't take off the uniforms of these people and drive them out of the lobby, if anyone doesn't comply, they will be dealt with as disturbing the court!"

"Yes, sir!" Tong Xuan agreed, and waved to the errand behind him, "Didn't you hear the adult's command?" Do you want to quit your job too? ”

The last sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and the crowd couldn't care about the friendship in the past, so they immediately stepped forward and set up all the servants kneeling under the lobby, stripped off their clothes, untied their waist knives, and blasted out of the lobby.

Seeing that this was already the case, Ma De dared to stay for a long time, took off his clothes and was about to leave. Yue Su's eyes were sharp, and without waiting for Ma De to go out, he shouted loudly: "Leave Ma De for me." ”

The servants are also red-eyed, as long as they can keep their jobs and let them go to get their father, they will also arrest them, not to mention a Mader. You Ma De was the head catcher at the beginning, and everyone was afraid of you, but now you have quit your errand, and there is no difference between the ordinary people, who is afraid of you.

The four messengers immediately stepped forward to hold Ma De down, escorted him to the middle of the hall and let him kneel, Ma De saw that his former subordinates were so angry with him, and scolded his mother, but what was the use. He could only kneel on the ground and shouted at Yue Su: "My lord, Ma De has not broken the law, why is he treated like this?" ”

"Ma De, do you still have to explain what crime you have committed? Inciting the county government officials to resign en masse is equivalent to inciting the soldiers in the barracks to mutiny, what punishment should be given, you are also the person who was the head of the county government, isn't it clear? Yue Su shouted.

As soon as he heard this charge, Ma Deke completely collapsed, and inciting the soldiers to mutiny was simply the crime of beheading. It is a bit far-fetched to link the incitement of the collective resignation of the servants to this crime, but it is not unavoidable.

Ma De was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, "My lord spared my life, I was also instigated by Sun Dacheng to do such a stupid thing, and I hope that the adult will be extrajudicial and give the little one a way to live." By the way, my lord, when discussing this matter, Tong Zhutou and Lord Xia were present, they could testify for the villain, and the mastermind was indeed Sun Dacheng! ”
