Chapter 62: The Killing of the Postmaster
In the early morning of the next day, a large number of people gathered at the entrance of the county yamen of Zhongmu County, and surrounded the entire yamen with three layers inside and three layers outside.
Syllable!
"Ah......h
Syllable!
"Ah......h
Syllable!
"Ah...... Zhongmu County ...... Spare your life......"
The sound of a whip, coupled with a howl like a ghost crying wolf, the people around were also talking about it, and they all whispered something in their mouths.
"Eh, what's going on? Our county magistrate is not a person who is easy to give heavy punishments, what crime did this fat man commit? How was it dropped here and whipped? Looking at what this guy is wearing, he should also be a rich and noble family, is this guy provoking the county magistrate? A lately melon-eating crowd asked the woodcutter on the side.
The little brother who chopped wood looked like "my brother knows", and said: "This fat man, it is said that he committed the crime of bribery, and was discovered by our county magistrate, so he was specially hung and whipped here by the county magistrate to warn everyone!" ”
The aunt who was selling vegetables on the side hurriedly interrupted: "If you don't know, don't talk nonsense, I heard that this fat man is an official from above, and he asks for benefits from our county commander...... This is not the county, and the lord tied him up in a fit of rage......"
There are various versions in the mouths of the people, but in general, there is not much difference, that is, this fat man should be a rich man, and he was hanged here by the county magistrate for a whip if he didn't know what he had done. And looking at this style, I don't know how long this whip will be beaten!
However, the people only knew their county orders, and they didn't have a concept in their hearts about outsiders. As for what officials sent by the imperial court to review the county order or something? Isn't our county order doing a good job, if there is a problem, it must be this fat man's problem. Xu Yang, who was mixed in the crowd, collected the words of the people little by little, and his admiration for Chen Gong in his heart couldn't help but increase a few points.
Usually seven days a day of work, can still have such a prestige and reputation, it seems that this is really talented, but it's a pity that because there is no way to stay in this Zhongmu County. Now it seems that Chen Gong arranged this time, and he also wanted to follow him, and he had to say that his cheap big brother would have such a harvest by taking himself to a place casually, which was really powerful.
After the people discussed for a while, Chen Gong walked out of the county office, still holding the fat postmaster's "confession" in his hand. It's just that this time Chen Gong did not wear that official uniform, but an ordinary coarse linen clothes.
The handrail signaled to the people to be quiet, and Chen Gong said: "A certain Chen Gongxi is the commander of Zhongmu County, although he has been slack in political affairs during his tenure, he also thinks that he is worthy of the court and the people. I wanted to be stable and benefit the people of Zhongmu County, but I never thought that the officialdom was full of profit, because I had no money to laugh at this postmaster, I was threatened by him, and my career was at a loss......"
What Chen Gong said above was not profound, and there were also some people among the people who had read the book and would give some explanations to the people on the side after hearing Chen Gong's words, and the people present quickly understood what was going on.
This much-loved county magistrate was blackmailed by the Postmaster, but he was incorruptible and could not come up with any money, so in the end he could only deceive the Postmaster into obtaining the "confession" signed by the Postmaster, and today his incriminating evidence is made public. First, let the people of Zhongmu County be a witness, and he did it out of desperation, and in the future, the people will need the people to testify for him; Second, he was indignant in his heart for this kind of bribery, but he was powerless in the face of such a corrupt official, so he could only collect his evidence and hang up the post of county order in order to one day clear the case!
Now the people are all frying, although their county order usually does not work much, but people handle the affairs of the county government once every seven days, this post governor actually bullied their county order so much, this whip is also deserved. For a while, rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves flew around, giving another round of new injuries to the already scarred fat postmaster.
After the people vented their anger for a while, Chen Gong continued: "Folks, please listen to me!" I can understand everyone's feelings, but it is a fact that I injured the envoy of the court today, and I am afraid that this crime will not be escaped, so I will leave today...... All the blame is borne by me Chen Gong alone, and this matter is made public today, just to leave the facts, in case he will learn in the future! ”
With that, Chen Gong turned around and walked out of the crowd.
"Lord Chen, you can't go......"
"Lord Chen, you are a good official, someone from the imperial court has come, we will help you defend ......"
Voices among the people shouted out, all of them were trying to keep Chen Gong. Chen Gong also understands the emotions of the people very well, but he can't stay in Zhongmu County today, and thanks the people for their kindness again, Chen Gong said that he let everyone make a way, and he left in the eyes of the people.
Of course, Chen Gong's departure did not just leave on his own. After leaving Zhongmu County, Xu Yang also caught up from behind, looked at Chen Gong, who was in a somewhat depressed mood, and asked, "Gongtai is indignant in his heart, and he feels that this breath is not enough?" ”
As a county magistrate whipping the post governor, this kind of thing has been done by Zhang Fei's gang in the entire history. Now that Chen Gong is here, although Xu Yang doesn't know what will happen to Zhang Fei, you Chen Gong should also smile happily! Why are you still sullen?
The respectful Xu Yang saluted, and Chen Gong spoke
said: "When I returned to the Hou Ye, it was not that the public was unwilling, but I just sighed that I was in the Han Dynasty, why did I become so corrupt." A little postmaster is still like this, how much darkness is there above the official career that I don't know, and does the path I should have pursued really exist? ”
Come on! Xu Yang understands that it is not himself who is depressed by Chen Gong, but by the court.
"Gongtai, there is a way that is not broken or standed, broken and then standed! Since this officialdom is already dark, why should the public platform be obsessed with one place. The world is so big, and it will never be the same. Don't talk about it from afar, let's just say that the Mingyue City under my jurisdiction is not like this......" Xu Yang said slowly, just about to win over Chen Gong, but he thought that this kind of historical celebrity was not so easy to surrender directly, and instead said, "I see that the public platform is not in a good mood, and I don't know where to go at this time, why don't you go to Mingyue City with me for a few days?" ”
Chen Gong didn't know what Xu Yang was thinking, but he was not angry with the postmaster for filial piety, so he used the identity of the champion in front of him to punish the postmaster. There is no way, if there is no identity of this champion in Zhongmu County, how can the postmaster be restrained, if he is bitten by the postmaster, he will not be able to say clearly even if he is full of mouths. Therefore, when it comes to whipping the postmaster, although he punished the postmaster and vented his grievances, he also owed Xu Yang a favor.
Taking a step back, the postmaster was beaten and the imperial court will have to find out sooner or later, where can he, the former Zhongmu County Commander, go? When the time comes, the imperial court will catch the papers, and once no one protects them, won't they be exiled to the rivers and lakes? Thinking of this, how could Chen Gong not understand that this Bright Moon City was the best place for him.
"In this way, I will disturb Master Hou!" Chen Gong was not polite, and responded directly.
In this way, Xu Yang happily returned to Zhongmu County with Chen Gong! That's right, and walked back again! Because Xu Yang wants to sell Chen Gong another favor, the post governor and others will inevitably bite back after the court investigates it, and what Xu Yang has to do is to make this post governor unable to fight back. How? Very simply, this kind of moth in the court, although it is not under the jurisdiction of his champion Hou, but as the dual identity of the emperor and the champion Hou, it is not difficult to kill a corrupt person.
When he returned to Zhongmu County, he saw that the postmaster had been released from the hanging torture rack, and several subordinates were rubbing medicine there. And there was also a middle-aged man in a brocade robe who was there listening to the confessions of the people around him.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yang just asked Chen Gong to stand still in the distance, and walked over with a smile on his face.
"Stop, who are you?" A guard immediately spotted Xu Yang who was approaching, perhaps because of his basic qualities as a guard, so he immediately judged that this person was in danger.
Xu Yang completely ignored the soldier's obstruction, and the Beginningless Lance appeared directly in his hand, and with a sweep, he directly knocked the soldier who was only a sixth-order soldier away with the Beginningless Lance's lance!
"Someone, protect your lord!"
"Protect your lordship!"
Seeing that Xu Yang didn't agree with each other, the guards around him gathered around the middle-aged man in a brocade robe, and the fat postmaster who was beaten miserably was also protected by two soldiers, but it was a bit pitiful in comparison.
"It's none of your business today, if you don't want to die, get out of here!" Xu Yang waved his Beginningless Lance, and the people who came within one meter of him were directly knocked away by him with the Beginningless Lance.
For these ordinary soldiers, Xu Yang didn't make a heavy hand, just let them be quiet on the side. Then he walked towards the fat postmaster step by step, as for the middle-aged man in the brocade robe on the side, after feeling Xu Yang's murderous aura, he saw that the other party did not come to him, and he also chose to be silent.
"You...... You...... You ......" The fat postmaster naturally knew Xu Yang, but he felt the substantial killing intent on Xu Yang's body, and fear occupied the fat postmaster's heart, and before he could say anything at this moment, he saw a cold light passing in front of his eyes, and then there was no more.
Bite! System Prompt: Because you kill the postmaster of the Han Dynasty, 5000 faction points will be deducted.
Regarding this system prompt of deducting 5,000 points, Xu Yang didn't even look at it. With his official promotion to the champion Hou, he has participated in many battles and earned a lot of points, Xu Yang's points have now exceeded 100 million, and this is only 5,000 points, which is not even a dime.
The middle-aged man in the brocade robe on the side looked at Xu Yang with a panicked face, raised his voice several decibels and shouted: "Who are you, do you know that killing the imperial court official is a big crime of Zhu Lian!" You can still be lenient if you confess your sins now......"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a white jade sign in Xu Yang's hand, which was impressively engraved with the three big characters "Champion Hou".
"See ......" The middle-aged man in the brocade robe was about to kneel, but he felt a pair of powerful arms grabbing him, making him unable to move!
Xu Yang didn't know when he had come to his side, and firmly grabbed the middle-aged man with his own hand, preventing him from kneeling.
"This postmaster is guilty of corruption, and the original Zhongmu County will be taken away! As for how to explain it to the above, I think you will, right? Xu Yang naturally knew that this person was sent by the Taishou Mansion to investigate this matter, but Xu Yang didn't want to make a private visit to Weifu and then be discovered, after all, he likes to take advantage of low-key things!
The middle-aged man hurriedly said yes and said that he would deal with the matter well. There is nothing uneasy about this middle-aged man Xu Yang, one is an inconspicuous post governor, and the other is the champion Hou who has just been canonized by the imperial court, the difference between the two sides
The distance is so huge that the sky and the earth are so huge.
In the panicked eyes of the middle-aged man, Xu Yang disappeared again, this time he left here with Chen Gong. Anyway, after solving Chen Gong's worries, Xu Yang still has to leave here quickly - what if Chen Gong feels okay and wants to go back to be his county magistrate? Don't think that this kind of thing can't happen, because after knowing the name of Chen Gong, Xu Yang thought of a very terrifying thing.
In history, Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, escaped to Zhongmu County, and was arrested by Chen Gong! This is a major historical event, and the ghost knows if that system will forcibly interfere with Chen Gong and let him go back and continue to be the county commander. If that's the case, won't you be busy in vain!
Fortunately, they walked through the teleportation array and came to Wu County, helped Chen Gong choose a good horse, and the two rode directly to Mingyue City!
"Gongtai, this is Mingyue City, if you play here for a few days, you can enjoy the scenery here!" arranged a good guest room for Chen Gong in Mingyue City, and Xu Yang explained before leaving.
A historical celebrity like Chen Gong can't always be posted, otherwise it will disgust the other party after a long time. Since this is the case, it is better to release Chen Gong first, after all, whether this kind of historical celebrity with a historical task can be won, Xu Yang does not have a number in his heart.
After a few more greetings with Chen Gong, Xu Yang returned to his own mansion in Mingyue City. did not send someone to monitor Chen Gong, this may be Xu Yang's belief in Chen Gong, after all, Chen Gong is not his own prisoner, he is a guest. And if he wants to monitor Chen Gong from being discovered, I am afraid that only Huang Zhong can do it in the entire Bright Moon City, but Huang Zhong is now a senior general in Bright Moon City, but he has no time to do this.
Five days passed in a flash, and just when Xu Yang wanted to find a chance to see Chen Gong, he received news from Xu Mofeng.
"Brother Yang, there is news about the matter you asked me to inquire about before, but things are a little difficult to do!" Xu Mofeng said with a slight embarrassment.
"Difficult? That's for sure, just tell me where they are, and I'll take care of the rest! Xu Yang knew that it was not easy to find that person, as for the "difficult to do" in Xu Mofeng's mouth, it was inevitable, but if everything was easy to do, it would be not difficult!
Xu Mofeng seemed to feel that he had not expressed himself clearly, but continued: "Brother Yang, I am near Yanshan...... Let's wait for you to come over and talk about the details! I'm afraid the water in this matter is a little deep......"
Depth? Xu Mofeng doesn't say this word often, but every time he says it, it's not a good thing, and at this time, Xu Yang also knows that the stakes are very high, and I'm afraid that he will have to go there in person.
Just as Xu Yang was about to reply to Xu Mofeng, a soldier walked in outside the door and said respectfully: "Lord, there is a person named Chen Gong who is asking to see him outside the door!" ”
All right! At this moment, Xu Yang could only tell Mo Rufeng to wait in Yanshan first, and solve the matter here first. It's really okay to close the door to practice when it's okay, and as soon as you say that there is something, you will come directly to several things, and I have to say that I seem to be a little interesting as a champion.
Going out to usher in Chen Gong, Xu Yang asked with a smile: "Gongtai, how are you doing in this Bright Moon City recently?" ”
Chen Gong's cloth clothes have been renewed, and the whole person looks quite energetic, thinking that he should have been doing well recently.
"Thank you Lord Hou for your concern, I have been very comfortable in Mingyue City these days, I have to explain that the customs and customs of Moon City are quite charming......" Chen Gong first praised the humanistic things in Mingyue City, and then turned to say, "In the next few days, I also have some understanding of Mingyue City, and I also have some immature suggestions in my heart, I don't know if Hou Ye is willing to listen to it?" ”
To listen or not to listen, that's the question. This is not to say that Xu Yang can't listen to other people's suggestions, but there is another meaning in Chen Gong's words, that is, he put forward some constructive suggestions to Mingyue City, even if he repaid Xu Yang's kindness. If these two people are in love, how can Xu Yang recruit Chen Gong? But if you don't listen, won't you become a faint waiter who doesn't listen to people's words?
"It's okay to talk about the public platform, this Bright Moon City is my hard work, and any suggestions that are beneficial to its development are naturally willing to accept it!" Xu Yang finally felt that it was better to listen to it, even if he lost Chen Palace in this way, it would be excellent for the development of Mingyue City!
Chen Gong is not a historical celebrity, even a guy like Lu Bu who can't afford it can take him to Puyang, and the advice given by such a person really makes Xu Yang's eyes shine.
"Go back to the Hou Ye! There are two immature suggestions for the development of this bright moon city, mainly in taxation and military! Chen Gong immediately explained solemnly when he got down to business, "It's a good thing that Mingyue City is light on taxes, but judging from the current tax revenue, the development and population of the city, I'm afraid there will still be a big gap in the economy......
Hiss!
This Chen Gong really has good eyesight, but after wandering around Bright Moon City for a few days, he found that there was a problem with Bright Moon City's funds. Indeed, as Chen Gong said, if it weren't for Xu Yang's good results in the Battle of the Yellow Turban to support his development, I am afraid that the deficit of Mingyue City would have ruined this first city in the world long ago. But at the same time, Xu Yang also felt that he should be right to choose to listen to Chen Gong's words this time, after all, since he said what the problem was, there must be a solution......
"This tax should be treated differently! In the next thought, for the tax of Mingyue City, different tax rates are levied according to the industry, quantity, and quality according to the batch......" Chen Gong said slowly, telling all kinds of truths......
