Chapter 225: Whipping the Post

The accountant under the post supervisor has checked the account book sent by the county office three times, and said helplessly to Cheng Duyou: "Master, this small account has been checked three times, and there is indeed no problem. ”

"How is that possible?" Cheng Duyou reached out and picked up a roll of account books with suspicion, opened it and saw that it was densely covered with small characters, he was a layman at all, how could he understand these accounts. "Give me a closer look, the official still doesn't believe it, there are still people standing by the river without getting their shoes wet in the sky?"

The planner had to start from scratch and carefully calculate, and the result was naturally conceivable.

"Master, the little one really can't find any problems. Either this plain county magistrate is really a clean official and does not have a penny of public money, or he must have a master of making accounts under him, and he can make fake accounts seamlessly. ”

"Master?" Cheng Duyou was suddenly very excited, "Yes! There must be a master who is helping him make false accounts. No wonder this guy is so fearless and dares to speak up against his own official. It's so good, the official is going to peel off your skin and let you show up. ”

"Master, this is just speculation, and if you can't come up with real evidence, I'm afraid it will be difficult to bring him down." The treasurer reminded the superintendent.

"Really?" Cheng Duyou's eyes rolled, and he thought about it, "Send the officials of those county offices to this official, and this official will personally inquire about it!" ”

After a short time, several officials were brought over and stood at the foot of the steps, trembling, and did not even dare to raise their heads.

Cheng Duyou held the account book in his hand and shouted: "You are all county officials, you know the accounts of Pingyuan County the best, as long as you can report and expose the county commander Liu Ze's embezzlement of public funds." Not only will I not hold you accountable, but I will reward you. ”

Several officials glanced at each other, and the official in charge of money and grain said in a snort: "Back to the post master, since Liu County Ling came to office, he has loved the people like a son, and he has not committed any crimes in the autumn, and he has never been greedy for a penny of public funds. ”

Cheng Duyou was furious: "Bold! This official has already grasped that Liu Ze hired a master to make fake accounts, and a few of you actually dare to cover up with him, it is clearly a nest of snakes and rats. It seems that if you don't punish you, you won't confess. Come. Punish me! ”

Qian Liangxu was originally a weak person, but when he heard about the punishment, he was so frightened that he shouted repeatedly: "Master Inspector." Wronged! ”

The servants pounced on them like wolves. Ripping off the officer's pants. He picked up the stick and hit it hard, and the official immediately let out a terrible scream.

At this time, Zhang Fei, who was drunk after pouring a few jars of yellow soup outside the city, rushed back from outside the city with a few people on horseback. Zhang Fei did drink a lot, and he was a little staggered on horseback. From a distance, I saw a large number of people gathered at the door of the pavilion, looking inside.

The road was not wide, and a large number of people gathered there, blocking most of the road. Zhang Fei was annoyed and scolded angrily: "Straight lady thief, you have blocked Lao Tzu's road, don't get out of the way." As he spoke, he raised his whip and was about to whip someone.

Someone in the onlookers knew Zhang Fei and shouted urgently: "Don't blame the third master, I'm waiting here to watch because the post supervisor arrested the county official and asked him to falsely accuse Liu County Order, but the county officer refused, and the post supervisor was punishing the county official with a cane." ”

"What?" When Zhang Fei heard this, most of the wine suddenly woke up, and he was so angry that he shouted, "Who eats the bear's heart and leopard gall and dares to frame my eldest brother!" ”

Zhang Fei jumped off the horse and was about to kick open the door and enter, but it happened that Pan Feng came over on Liu Ze's order and hurriedly hugged Zhang Fei by the waist.

"Third master, the lord has an order, and there must be no conflict with the superintendent."

"What? Someone is trying to slander and frame my eldest brother here, you don't let me take care of it, what's the reason? Zhang Fei angrily asked Pan Feng.

Pan Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I will send someone to report to the lord immediately, and he will decide." ”

"When the eldest brother comes, this official is estimated to have been killed by the superintendent, you listen to this scream. Pan Feng, let me ask you, when the lord gave the order, did he ever say that the superintendent would not let me take care of the murder inside? ”

"Not really."

"Is this it, think about it, my eldest brother can't let me die without help!" Zhang Fei laughed, no longer paid attention to Pan Feng, kicked the door of the pavilion open, and rushed over in a big stride, without saying a word, he knocked the two executioners to the ground with a fist.

Cheng Duyou saw the big man like a black tower rushing over, and exclaimed, "Who are you?" ”

Zhang Fei rushed to him with an arrow step, stretched out his hand and gave him a big slap, which made Cheng Duyou's ears roar and his eyes were full of stars, his head crown also fell to the ground, and his hair was scattered. Zhang Fei stretched out his hand and grabbed his hair, dragged him to the door of the pavilion, and scolded in his mouth; "You thief, I won't give you some color today, your grandfather Zhang's name is written upside down!"

Cheng Duyou's fat body was dragged by Zhang Fei's hair, and he howled in pain like a pig. His subordinates wanted to come to the rescue, but they were stopped by Zhang Fei's entourage with knives, and they didn't dare to come closer.

Zhang Fei dragged Cheng Duyou to the tethered horse stake at the entrance of the pavilion, ordered someone to find a rope to tie him to the tethered horse post, and searched while scolding, there happened to be a willow tree next to him, Zhang Fei reached out and broke off a few wicker sticks, turned around and slammed Cheng Duyou's thigh.

"You thief, let you frame my big brother again! Let you beat the county magistrate again! ”

Cheng Duyou had been punished so heavily that he screamed in pain, and even begged for mercy: "A good man spares his life!" Heroes spare their lives! ”

Where was Zhang Fei willing to spare him, the wicker fell on his body like raindrops, Zhang Fei's hand was too strong, and he discounted more than a dozen wicker in a row, Cheng Duyou cried for his father and called his mother, and he didn't dare to come to the rescue, but a group of onlookers applauded.

At this time, a broken shout came from afar: "Yide stop!" ”

Zhang Fei looked up and saw that it was Liu Ze who rode over, he only stopped his hand in a stupid manner, and said hatefully: "Cheap you dog official!" ”

Just now Zhang Fei broke into the pavilion, Pan Feng couldn't stop him, he knew that something bad was going to happen, and hurriedly flew to report to Liu Ze. Liu Ze secretly screamed badly, and immediately arrived with Pegasus, but saw that Zhang Fei had tied up Cheng Duyou and beaten him, so he hurriedly said something to stop.

When Cheng Inspector saw Liu Ze coming, as if he had seen a savior, he snorted and cried, and said pitifully: "Liu County Order-Save me-"

Liu Ze glared at Zhang Fei, this thing is really a troublemaker, he had arranged for Pan Feng to stare at Zhang Fei to prevent Zhang Fei from causing trouble, but it backfired, the matter of whipping the post supervisor still happened, and how to deal with it was still a headache.

"Such a thief who harms the people, if he doesn't kill him, he will do nothing!" Zhang Fei is also justifiable.

Liu Ze ignored him, and ordered Cheng Duyou to loosen the ties, gave a long salute, and apologized: "Brother Cheng is reckless, and please ask Cheng Duyou to forgive his sins." ”

At this time, Du You's subordinates dared to come over and hold him, Cheng Du You was beaten by Zhang Fei and his legs were so scarred that he couldn't stand, pointed at Liu Ze with his hand, and said angrily and tremblingly: "Liu Ze!" What should you be guilty of committing murder and assaulting an official? ”

Zhang Feibao's eyes widened, he glared angrily, and said, "Do you still want to fight?" ”

Cheng Duyou was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak again, Liu Ze reprimanded Zhang Fei a few words, and Zhang Fei reluctantly left here.

"The younger brother has a rude temperament, and it is indeed Ze's fault that he injured Shangguan, and he also asked Cheng Duyou to recuperate in the post house for a few days, and all expenses will be paid by the lower officials."

At this time, Cheng Duyou was bloodless, and gasped: "Liu County Order, this is your territory, I can't afford to provoke and hide, let's ...... Let's see you in Qingzhou Mansion-" At the moment, he no longer paid attention to Liu Ze, and ordered his subordinates to carry him back to the pavilion, immediately pack his bags, and return to Linzi.

Liu Ze smiled bitterly, it seems that this Cheng Duyou will never give up, and he will definitely find trouble with him after returning to Qingzhou Mansion. There will always be a strikingly similar scene in history, Liu Bei had to die after whipping the post governor in history, is it possible that he has to follow his old path again?

At this time, Jia Xu rushed over, and Liu Ze said helplessly: "Wenhe, what do you think should happen at this point?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said, "It's a trivial matter." ”

"Wen Heke, what's a good idea?" Jia Xu's plan, Liu Ze didn't have the slightest suspicion, looking at his confident appearance, Liu knew that he must have a way to settle this matter.

Jia Xu pointed to a large box in the car behind him. "The superintendent came to the plains to covet some money, give him more money, and it is not easy to settle this matter."

Liu Ze laughed, this is also a good way, when it comes to money, he is really not bad for money. It's just that the name of this life has been ruined.

A few days later, Cheng Duyou, who had recovered from his injuries, left Pingyuan County. Liu Ze personally went out of the city to see him off, Cheng Duyou had an ambiguous smile on his face, and there was a huge box in his luggage.

Pan Feng was the only one who accompanied Liu Ze to see him off, looking at the convoy of postal inspectors who were getting farther away, Pan Feng said hatefully: "These corrupt officials are really insatiable, my lord, just let him take away this 10 million money for nothing, I am really unwilling!" ”

Liu Ze said meaningfully: "This plain to Linzi, but there is a way to go, I have heard that this road is not very peaceful, and there are many bandits." ”

Pan Feng was slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized, and said in surprise: "The lord means ......"

Liu Ze waved his hand to interrupt his words, and said lightly: "It's good if you understand, just send a few henchmen to act when the opportunity arises." ”

"Subordinates obey." Pan Feng received the order and immediately went down to make arrangements.

Cheng Duyou sat in the carriage, holding Erlang's leg, the injury on the leg was originally some skin trauma, it didn't hurt the muscles and bones, and it was good to apply some medicine for a few days, but because of this, he cheated Liu Ze of 10,000 taels of gold, how could he not let him be happy. However, Cheng Duyou promised that Liu Ze would not pursue the matter again, but when he thought about the pain, he still made him resentful, and he had already secretly made up his mind that after returning to Linzi this time, he had to make Liu Ze look good.

"Where are you up ahead?" Cheng Duyou asked through the curtain. (To be continued......)
