Chapter 721: Exercising Power
Seeing everyone's expectations of himself, Xiao Man closed his eyes, and thought about what he should do in his mind, then opened his eyes, slapped the shocked wood again, and said to this master: "I am the prefect of Yuzhou sent by the emperor, and now I order you to arrest him for me immediately, if anyone does not obey, you will be guilty of the same crime as him!"
Hearing the words of the same crime, these catchers and catchers were obviously panicked, so they hurriedly walked over, but the master was still resisting stubbornly, and said to them: "What, what's the matter, do you want to rebel today?" Do you really want Young Master Zhang to destroy your entire clan? ”
"The one who can destroy the whole clan, only the emperor in Donglan Kingdom has this right, what kind of thing is he, Zhang An, he can still exercise the power of the emperor, he is really presumptuous, take him down for me!"
Since he couldn't say that he couldn't catch these fast, Xiao Man directly motioned Li Ran to do it with his eyes, Li Ran saw Xiao Man's eyes, and kicked the master to the ground, and knelt in front of Xiao Man.
Li Ran took out the sword on his waist and put it on the neck of the master, this master was threatened by Li Ran, his expression began to panic, and he said to Su Xiaoman with a trembling mouth: "Lord Prefect, otherwise we will discuss it carefully, in fact, it was all a misunderstanding just now."
Seeing that this master was so timid, Xiao Man's heart rose with a burst of disgust.
He is obviously bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, if he is a well-talking prefect, how can he be calmed down.
So Su Xiaoman snorted coldly, and said that the master said: "Don't pretend to me here, weren't you very angry just now, why are you like a turtle with a shrunken head now."
"Lord Prefect, I really misunderstood just now, I just saw that you didn't come to this Yuzhou for a long time, so I just helped you to lecture in the yamen."
Xiao Man glared at him dissatisfied, and didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore, so he threw down a command arrow and said to the catcher next to him: "Give him forty boards for me."
These fast catchers have seen Xiao Man's thunder methods, so they don't dare to slack off at this time, for fear that Xiao Man will also put them in the same crime as the master, after all, although this Xiao Man looks like a woman, but his style of doing things is the same as that of a man, which is really unprovoked.
The catchers quickly brought in the tools, carried the master to the bench, and then picked up the plank, and crackled.
If you want to say that the catchers can also see the current situation clearly, Su Xiaoman has taken office as the prefect of Yuzhou, and she will naturally be in charge of this yamen in the future, the master is just a lackey of Zhang An, if something really happens, Zhang An may not be able to protect him.
At this time, it is natural to perform well in front of Su Xiaoman, so as to make some contributions.
These catchers have kung fu in their hands, and after a while, the master was also beaten to the skin and flesh, and the blood was drenched, and the master was desperately calling at the beginning, but he was silent like a mosquito in the back, and his breath was dying on this stool.
After the fight, he quickly went to Su Xiaoman to reply and said to Su Xiaoman:
"Prefect, the forty boards have been played, and he seems to have passed out, what should I do?"
Su Xiaoman naturally wouldn't be merciful, if she punished the big admonition today, how could she control the entire Yuzhou City in the future, so he said to the catcher: "Go get a basin of cold water, splash him on me to wake up, and after waking up, put him in the prison again, let him write the indictment, sign and draw the charge, and then show it to me."
Hearing Xiaoman say this, he was a little frightened, saying that women are made of water, gentle and lingering, but Su Xiaoman is so ruthless, with such means, it is not difficult for her to govern Yuzhou in the future.
So at this moment, he immediately obeyed the order, took a basin of cold water, and poured it on the master's head.
The master was stirred by this cold water, and quickly sobered up, and after his mind was no longer confused, the master felt that the pain in his buttocks was simply piercing, for fear that Xiao Man would continue to torture him after he was taken into prison.
So at this time, he begged Su Xiaoman for mercy: "Lord Prefect, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have done such a stupid thing, please spare me."
Su Xiaoman waved his hand, and said to the catcher next to him: "Pull him down for me, so that he can take care of it."
Caught quickly dragged the master down, Xiao Man saw the blood all over the ground, and suddenly felt a little afraid, and he didn't know when he became such a person, seeing such a bloody scene, he didn't tremble and be afraid, but felt a kind of joy in his heart to punish the wicked.
Seeing that Su Xiaoman was a little nervous, Xianglan hurriedly stepped forward, patted Su Xiaoman's shoulder, and comforted her: "Madam, it's okay, you did a very beautiful job today, with this experience, I want to come to those people below, and I won't disagree with you."
Su Xiaoman nodded, the way of being an official and the way of the back house are really a little different, I think I should be in this Yuzhou City, and learn slowly.
Du Yue looked at the staffing in this yamen, to say that this head catcher and fast catch are naturally complete, but there is one less master, and some paperwork is inevitably a little inappropriate.
So he said to Su Xiaoman: "Now that there is one less master in this yamen, what should we do?"
Xiao Man was inspired when he heard Du Yue's words, glanced at the scholar, and said to him: "Look, don't we have a master now."
The scholar saw Xiao Man staring at him, hurriedly waved his hand, and said to Su Xiaoman: "How can this be done, you are willing to help me do justice in the future, it is enough to take care of me, and you will let me hold a public position in the yamen at this time, this is really not good, if Zhang An really finds trouble with you, how should I be happy in my heart."
Xiao Man smiled, like a flower, and said to the scholar with a nonchalant face: "Then you are really worried, let me tell you the truth, we and Zhang An have already formed a bond, and you don't want to think about it, with our identity, can Zhang An not kill us?"
Along the way, he chased after us, and finally came to this Yuzhou City, he naturally won't let us go, so you don't need to think about us, it's just that this master's task is heavy, I'm afraid that your hand is inconvenient, but it doesn't matter, you hold on for a few days, and I will immediately find a doctor to treat you. ”
Hearing that Su Xiaoman was going to find a doctor to treat his severed hand, the scholar was naturally very moved, and looked around at the yamen in Yuzhou, if he wanted to say that he could be a master here, it could be regarded as showing his ambitions.
Wait until you have finished reviewing, and then go to Beijing to catch the exam, which is really a blessing in life.
So he hurriedly said to Su Xiaoman: "Since, Governor Su, you have promoted me, then I will stay here to be your master."
Su Xiaoman heard that this scholar agreed to himself so quickly, and called himself Su Zhifu, not to mention how happy he was in his heart.
So Su Xiaoman slowly walked up to the scholar and asked, "
The scholar replied honestly: "My surname is Yuan, my name is Yuan Ding, and I will ask the prefect of Su and the prefect of Du for more advice in the future."
When Du Yue heard the three words of Du Zhifu, her face turned red all of a sudden, and she didn't know where to put her little hands, seeing Du Yue's embarrassed appearance, Xianglan felt a little cute, so she took out her handkerchief, covered her mouth and smiled.
"Okay, in our Yuzhou Yamen, there are all the people, now it's time to think about how to deal with Zhang An."
Hearing about dealing with Zhang An, the expressions of several people became serious again, as if they were facing a great enemy.
To say that Jiang An is so cunning and hateful, and he has been entrenched in Yuzhou City for many years, he has to come up with a way to get Zhang An out of Yuzhou City forever.
Just when Xiaoman was pondering, he saw a catcher running in from the door, and said to Su Xiaoman in a panic: "Su Governor's Mansion, Du Governor's Mansion!."
Xiao Man frowned and glanced at this catcher, and said to him: "What are you panicking, what is this Yamen, don't be so unruly."
Hearing Xiaoman say this, this catcher immediately slowed down, and said to Su Xiaoman: "Lord Prefect, someone outside has sent a letter, it seems to be for you."
Su Xiaoman looked at the letter, and the envelope on it was filled with a faint cluster of magnolia flowers, which was somewhat similar to the magnolia hairpin that Zhang An gave to him, and Xiaoman felt a little panicked in his heart, for fear that this messenger Zhang An would send in.
But Xiao Man's premonition was indeed accurate, and when he opened the letter, it was indeed Zhang An's handwriting, Li Ran saw that Xiao Man's face was getting more and more solemn, so he asked: "Xiao Man, what is written on this letter?"
After Xiao Man read it, he crumpled the letter into a pile and said to them: "I didn't expect that we had just entered this yamen for only an hour, and Zhang An already knew that we had taken office as the prefect of Yuzhou, and he had too many eyes and ears."
Hearing Xiaoman say this, everyone gasped, I was afraid that Zhang An's eyeliner was all around them, but I didn't expect that inside the yamen, there were also Zhang An's people, otherwise Zhang
How did An know so quickly that Xiaoman and the others had entered the city and took office as the prefect of Yuzhou.
"But what else is there besides?"
Hearing Li Ran ask, Xiao Man sighed and said to Li Ran: "That's the case, Zhang An said in the letter that the former patriarch of their Zhang family was Lord Zhang Yu, and soon after the death of Lord Zhang Yu, Zhang An's current identity is just the acting patriarch of the Zhang family, this month's food is the official succession ceremony of the head of the Zhang family, Zhang An invited all the celebrities in Yuzhou to watch the ceremony, naturally we, as the prefect of Yuzhou, should also go to congratulate and congratulate, so we specially sent two invitations."
Xiao Man handed another invitation to Du Yue, and Du Yue saw that her name was indeed written on it, and her words were very sincere.
