Chapter 63: This is the Lord of the Present!
Zhao Xiaoxi, who has the memory of two lifetimes, understood early on that the emperor is far away and the county officials are not as good as the county management. But Zhao Xiaoxi felt that within his territory, this kind of bullying and oppression of good people must be resolutely dealt with and severely punished.
A county lieutenant has more than ten wives and concubines, which makes Zhao Xiaoxi, who only has nine wives, embarrassed. Even in this era, monogamy is not emphasized, but a small county lieutenant marries more than ten wives and concubines, which is somewhat abnormal.
Although Zhao Xiaoxi made up his mind to suppress the bandits first and then rectify the officials. can witness with my own eyes that this kind of crime and robbery of people's daughters is irrepressibly murderous. I think this guy will be punished, so I can relieve my heart and the anger of the local people.
County Lieutenant Chen, who was feeling good about himself, looked at Zhao Xiaoxi, who suddenly appeared, and his clothes were not magnificent. But the temperament in his bones is very oppressive, which makes County Lieutenant Chen a little distracted.
At this time, Li Youfu, who was forced by two officials to draw knives, cried bitterly: "Sir, please save my daughter!" They insisted that I had robbed the money, and asked my husband to make the decision for me! ”
Li Youfu's crying and salutation made County Lieutenant Chen feel that Zhao Xiaoxi would be a businessman who came to Qiongzhou to do business? Looking at his temperament, he should have a bit of power and background, but where is this? Timmai, his territory!
As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake. After so many years of prestige and fortune in Tingmai, is it possible that he is still afraid of a businessman? What's more, he is now a county lieutenant, and he can be regarded as an official of the imperial court. Who would dare to meddle in this matter at will?
Thinking of this, County Lieutenant Chen was bold and said fiercely: "Bold, this official acts, how can you be judged by an outsider?" I advise you to do business well. Don't meddle in things. Otherwise, be careful that this official will punish you for the crime of gangsters. ”
In the face of his intimidation, Zhao Xiaoxi asked Zhao Da and the others not to make a sound, and sneered: "Seeing that the road is uneven, someone is stepping on it, is it possible that you are still afraid of people saying a few fair words?" Just because you are a small county lieutenant, do you dare to defile the good people at will? ”
This answer to Cho Hyo-seok. County Lieutenant Chen suddenly laughed and said: "It's a good road, I really can't imagine that there are still people in Tingmai who dare to care about my Chen Batian's affairs." No matter where you come from, today will make you understand the fate of being nosy.
Someone! This person looked suspicious and was brought back to the county government for interrogation. This official felt that he might be a bandit entrenched in Yanyun Mountain. Catching this person is a great achievement, brothers! ”
The upper and lower mouths moved, and the dignified King of Qiongzhou became a thief. This made Zhao Da and the others furious. Looking at those yachas, rushing over with knives and guns, Zhao Da and the others naturally couldn't help but rush out.
Standing in front of Zhao Xiaoxi with a knife drawn, he shouted: "Bold, do you want to rebel?" ”
As soon as these words came out, those officials were startled. But County Lieutenant Chen laughed and said, "It seems that this official's judgment is really correct, these people are indeed thieves from Yanyun Mountain." Don't be afraid, today this official is here, and take it all down.
If they dare to resist. Kill on the spot. A few thieves also dared to confront the official army. Above. Whoever dares to participate in this matter will be dealt with with the bandits. Catch these bandits and return to the county government to discuss meritorious deeds! ”
At this time, Zhao Xiaoxi continued to clap his hands with a cold face and said: "What a great achievement, a good reward for meritorious deeds." You, as a mere county lieutenant, dare to do such a thing that defiles the good people. It seems to be really lawless!
Zhao Da, tell them what kind of person I am. Who dares to move the knife again, punish the nine clans! It seems that you have really been the king for many years, forgetting that this Qiongzhou is the Qiongzhou of the imperial court. This Tingmai is not surnamed Chen, but Zhao, understand? ”
As Zhao Xiaoxi's words came out, Zhao Da pulled out his waist, held up a token and said: "The king of Qiongzhou in the Great Song Dynasty is here, who dares to be presumptuous!" Wait until you dare to take a step forward, punish the nine clans for rebellion! ”
As soon as these words came out, these yacha were a little dumbfounded. Looking at the token, the embossed flying dragon still has a golden appearance. Everyone knows that pretending to be this kind of identity really wants to punish the Nine Clans!
Compared with these yacha and County Lieutenant Chen, they were frightened by Zhao Xiaoxi's identity. The people of Lijiazhuang believe in Zhao Xiaoxi's identity very much. The prince came to Lijiazhuang and witnessed this kind of thing with his own eyes, so naturally he would not let these officials have a good time.
Hula fell to his knees and shouted: "Grass people Li XX, see the prince, Chitose Chitose!" ”
The actions of the people made these officials realize that this time the county lieutenant Chen was afraid that he had been planted. Although they are greedy for money, they even have some scolding against this county lieutenant Chen. can take the risk of punishing the nine clans and use a knife with a prince, unless he has lived enough.
Just when a messenger quickly threw away his weapon and joined the kneeling crowd. The rest of the yacha also understood the consequences of offending the prince. They threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground to wait for disposal.
Looking at the county lieutenant Chen, who had become a lonely man, he looked at his group in disbelief. Zhao Xiaoxi sneered: "Lord County Lieutenant, if you dare to accuse this king of being a thief, you are only afraid that you will be the first one." Your guts are really boundless!
Why, do you still want to resist to the end, and do you still want to cure the king of a crime of banditry? I really think that in this Tingmai Chen family, you can really be lawless. Then this king will let you see, what is the name of the Nine Clans, the blood is flowing like a river! ”
As soon as the last four words came out, County Lieutenant Chen couldn't help but kneel down anymore, and said in horror: "The lower official didn't know that the prince was coming, and he was offended, so I asked the prince to forgive me." Before the lower official, it was really an unintentional move, and I asked the prince to forgive me! ”
Looking at the anticlimactic Lieutenant Chen, Zhao Xiaoxi sneered: "Oh! Now that you know that you were wrong, weren't you very proud before? Don't you think that if you have a brother-in-law who is a county magistrate, you can do whatever you want?
Robbing people's daughters, privately lending silver loans, just these two items, this king will kill you on the spot, believe it or not, no one will reason for you. But don't worry, your dog's life, this king won't want it now, this king wants you to see whose world this Qiongzhou is. ”
He turned around and said, "Zhao Da, inform the king's guards and immediately rush to Tingmai." Those who take over the Tingmai County Ya and the city defense army, and dare to disobey the orders of the king's generals, will be punished as treason. This thief was taken to the county government to be dealt with. ”
Listening to Zhao Xiaoxi's order, Zhao Nature didn't say a word, and immediately dispatched his guards. took the war horse ridden by County Lieutenant Chen, and began to whip the horse back to Qiongzhou to give orders, and County Lieutenant Chen was naturally escorted aside to wait for disposal.
Looking at these people who seemed to be very relieved, Zhao Xiaoxi changed his face and said very sincerely: "The people of Lijiazhuang, today this king witnessed this ugly incident with his own eyes, and this king wants to say that it is this king who has no way to govern and makes you suffer." ”
Looking at Zhao Xiaoxi, who bent down slightly and saluted, these people of Lijiazhuang, who were watching the excitement, knelt down again. Many people with sour hearts also feel that the sky in Qiongzhou seems to be really changing.
For a prince from Qiongzhou, the people have heard of it to some extent. But many people feel that the prince will not pay attention to the life and death of their people at all these days. One more prince, I'm afraid their days will be even more difficult!
Now looking at Zhao Xiaoxi and apologizing to them with the respect of the prince, this is simply unimaginable for the people. But this scene, not only they saw it, but the people of the whole village saw it.
Not to mention these people, they were surprised by Zhao Xiaoxi's proximity to the people, even the officials present felt warm in their hearts. As the officials of this remote county government, they can't feel the existence of the imperial court many times.
Even if there is a prefect in Qiongzhou, but these officials have not seen the Beijing officials from the capital from beginning to end. I could see some officials from the imperial court, most of whom were exiled here.
For such officials who have lost their power, not to mention that local officials do not take them very seriously. Even these officials don't take them seriously. Gradually, many yacha people understood that it was still the people of the big family who had the final say.
As a native of Tingmai, they naturally know how arrogant and domineering the Chen family is here. But this has been the case since they were born. Plus the county order is the son-in-law of the Chen family, who dares to say that the Chen family is not?
Today, they all know in their hearts that this county lieutenant is deliberately looking for trouble. But for the sake of Yulu and this mouthful of food, they can only pretend not to see it, do this kind of thing for the tiger, and wronged these good people with their conscience.
Now Zhao Xiaoxi's performance makes them happy and surprised. Happily, such a prince who is close to the people is undoubtedly a blessing for the people. What is surprising is that their behavior today will bring them death?
Especially the yacha who approached the county lieutenant Chen, he was even more panicked. provoked a prince of the court like Zhao Xiaoxi, and an absolute ruler who controls Qiongzhou, the fate of County Lieutenant Chen will definitely not be too good, then they will not end up too well.
Just when the officials were panicking, Zhao Xiaoxi walked up to them and said with a straight face: "As a court official, you don't distinguish between right and wrong for the tiger, and it was originally a capital crime. But in your ignorance, this king has given you a chance to atone for your sins.
Those who feel that they have made mistakes before, now apologize to these people. As long as these people are willing to give you a chance to mend your ways, then the king will spare your life and go to the county government with the king to wait for disposal.
If you think you can escape from the king's hand, then you can give it a try. It's just that if you fall into the hands of this king again, the end will not be a crime of killing your head. It's the sin of the Nine Clans, do you understand? ”
Under some coercion and intimidation, the yacha naturally didn't dare to say anything. Some of the yacha who were afraid of death even knelt down to apologize to the people who had been powerful and blessed before after Zhao Xiaoxi's voice fell.
Till these people, seeing their pitiful condition, will spare them what they had done before. Zhao Da and the others immediately ordered them to pick up their weapons and stand beside Zhao Xiaoxi to wait for the dispatch. After all, at this time, Zhao Xiaoxi's manpower around him is indeed a little insufficient!
As the captain of Zhao Xiaoxi's guard, Zhao Da thinks about the problem, and the first thing is to consider Zhao Xiaoxi's safety. Before the palace guards arrived, the county government and the city defense officers and soldiers needed to be pacified, so as not to jump over the wall in a hurry. (To be continued......)
