Chapter 40 Entering the county office
readx;
Ma Zichen heard the two people on the side of the road talking about taxes and silver, and heard that the original county order was no longer there, and a new county order had been replaced, and his heart suddenly blossomed, which may mean that he can successfully clear his grievances. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info But then I heard that this county order was also an insatiable person who took the people's fat and people's cream, and suddenly cried and mourned, not knowing if he could still be wronged.
Xu Yang sat on horseback and heard the conversation between the two people on the side of the road, suddenly stopped, and asked the passerby, "What is the name of this county order?"
The two people on the side of the road were continuing to gossip, when they suddenly saw four people and five horses passing in front of them, and there were six dead people on horseback, and suddenly one of them trembled, and one of them said cautiously: "We only know that the name of this new county order is 'Duohun'." I heard others say that this person used to be a ruffian in Xiangcheng, and he bought an official position with silver......"
"Why do you talk so much? Be careful that Xiao Luo, who was ordered by the county, heard us speak ill of him behind our backs, so he couldn't eat and walked away. The other interrupted the other and hurried away.
Xu Yang and the four of them were going to inquire about this new county order, but they didn't think that the two had already left one after another. Xu Yang saw the two of them hiding in a teahouse and whispered something, and pointed at him from time to time. Xu Yang heard that this county order was called "Duo Hun ", and he was still a ruffian in Xiangcheng, plus there were the most "Fushou Tobacco Houses" on the streets of Changming County, so he couldn't help but think of "Duo Hun Worms".
Xu Yang and Ma Zichen were hiding in each other's smoke houses before, and they also heard that Duo Mudworm was going to buy a county order with silver, and thought: "Could it be that this is such a coincidence?
"Brother Xu, could that county order be a lot of worms? Even if it wasn't, it must have nothing to do with corrupt officials and corrupt officials; if it is really a lot of worms, and this person is insatiable and robbing by force, I'm afraid that even if we hand over the six members of the Holy Lotus Sect to each other, we won't get the rewards we deserve. Why don't we go to the prefect's office to receive the reward?" Ma Zichen said.
Xu Yang saw that the other party was about to turn around and leave, so he immediately grabbed the reins of the other party's horse, bowed his mouth to the six dead corpses, and whispered: "You see that the six corpses have become zombies, and if we swagger around with the dead corpses in front of everyone, will it bring unnecessary numbness? Since we have come to Changming County, it is better for us to meet this corrupt official, maybe we will get a reward, and we will also use the other party to wronged you." After speaking, he pulled the reins of Ma Zichen's horse and walked towards the county office.
"Brother Xu, you are really a guy who doesn't know the height of the sky! As long as we can leave the county government safely and soundly, we don't expect to receive much reward, and I don't expect to be able to clear my grievances. As long as we come safely, we can go safely. You still have the idea of rewarding silver, and you still want to clear my grievances, you can't help but ask for money and die, right?" Ma Zichen said as he looked at the other party pulling the reins of his horse.
Xu Yang saw Ma Zichen guessing wildly behind him, and signaled the other party not to be impatient, not to panic. Ma Zichen saw Xu Yang walking on a horse without fear, and he was very puzzled about what medicine was sold in the other party's gourd. Ma Zichen thought that since he had already come to this county office, it was better to try his luck, and if not, it would be a big deal to go to prison again. Ma Zichen knew clearly in his heart that his chances of winning this time were negligible.
Xu Yang saw Ma Zichen sighing for a long time, shaking his head and sighing, but he also understood what the other party was thinking and thinking, thinking about all kinds of concerns.
Just after the four of them walked towards the center of the county for a while, they saw a dilapidated official mansion sitting in front of them, and two stone lions stood on both sides of the official mansion. When Xu Yang and the four of them came to the gate of the county office, they were surprised to see that the plaque above the gate of the county government was crooked, as if it might fall down at any time, and on the right side of the door was placed a drum and a drum stand, but the drum stand was now covered with cobwebs and dust, as if it had not been used for a long time. On a bench to the left of the door, two pawns sat chatting, munching on melon seeds.
When Xu Yang's four people and five horses appeared at the gate of the county government, the two pawns at the door just glanced at the four people, and then swallowed melon seeds and talked about the world, as if they didn't see the four of them. Xu Yang saw that the two of them pretended not to see him, snorted coldly, and glanced at the big tiger.
Dahu nodded, turned over and dismounted, came to the two pawns, clenched his fists, and said, "Hello two chiefs." As we were walking in the forest, we were intercepted by a group of robbers. Fortunately, I waited until I was good at it so that I wouldn't be killed. Later, because we had killed them by mistake, we learned that the six people were members of the Holy Lotus Sect, and they were hereby sent to the government for disposal. ā
"What? It's six members of the Holy Lotus Sect, and you have killed them again. One of them bounced up from a stool and said. And at the moment when the person suddenly bounced up from the stool, the person on the other side was caught off guard and fell on all fours, crying out in pain.
The big tiger saw one of them standing, staring wide at the six dead men on the horse, and the other was like a turtle struggling on the ground to get up. Dahu couldn't help laughing and said, "Please also ask the two chiefs to go in and report it." ā
"Tell me, leave these six dead bodies behind and leave!" said the standing pawn. When he finished, pull up the man on the ground who was struggling to get up.
When the big tiger heard that the other party had let him leave the dead body, and then left, he was immediately startled and said: "According to the notice presented by the prefect, anyone who kills the personnel of the Holy Lotus Sect will be able to get a reward of fifty taels from the government, and if he can be captured alive, he will be able to get a reward of one hundred taels of silver. We are killing these six people now, and we deserve to be rewarded by the government. ā
"You say they're members of the Holy Lotus Sect, but I need to check them out before I can get to the conclusion. If six civilians are killed by you, and you come to the government to pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, and cheat the money, then we will not be deceived? Don't be verbose, I'll know if I need to check. The two said. After speaking, he came towards Xu Yang and the others.
Xu Yang and the three of them walked towards him when they saw the big tiger and the two pawns talking, and immediately turned over and dismounted. The two pawns came to the corpses of the six people, and saw that these dead people had a white cloth tied around their necks, and their clothes were all exactly the same, and they knew that it was the Holy Lotus Sect. Although the members of the Holy Lotus Sect were all ordinary people, and their clothes were varied, these six people were all subordinates of the person who carried the whip, so their clothes were exactly the same.
After seeing the two of them look at the corpses of the six people, Dahu lowered his head and pondered something, and asked, "Two chiefs, these six corpses are indeed the remnants of the Holy Lotus Sect, and there will definitely be no mistakes." Let's ask the two chiefs to go in and give the county order a word!"
When the two pawns heard Dahu's explanation in their ears, they suddenly woke up and were about to turn around and leave, but they thought of why they wanted to tell each other for no reason? The four big tigers saw that the two were about to leave, but they didn't know why they didn't move, and they didn't understand the mystery.
Xu Yang naturally saw that the two of them wanted to receive some benefits from it before they were willing to tell it, and if he could get three hundred taels of silver, what did it matter if he broke the bank. Xu Yang took out two pieces of broken silver from his arms and gave them to the two of them, and said, "These two pieces of silver will sell tea to the two officials, and please go in and report it!"
When the two pawns saw Xu Yang giving him the silver, they immediately stretched out their hands to catch it, their faces turned into flowers with smiles, and asked the four of them to wait at the door, and they went in to say goodbye. Seeing that the two pawns were willing to go in to make a confession because they wanted silver, Dahu spat on the ground and said, "The gatekeepers are so greedy, not to mention the county master inside." ā
"Don't think that if we kill the six people of the Holy Lotus Sect, we can easily get three hundred taels of silver. As long as you can get a reward of 100 taels of silver from the government, you will already be thankful. Xu Yang said to the county government.
The four of them waited for half a pillar of incense at the gate of the county government for half an hour, and then they saw two pawns walk out and shouted to the four of them: "The county order will let you in." However, five horses are to be left outside. With that, his eyes lit up and he looked greedily at the five horses.
When Xu Yang and the four of them heard the county order, they let themselves in, which means that they can see the true face of Lushan in the county order. But when he heard that the two pawns had left their horses at the gate of the county office, they were shocked. Big Tiger Xiaohu and Ma Zichen thought that if they brought the horses into the county office, wouldn't they be dirty with the county office, and they felt that there was nothing left at the door. And Xu Yang originally thought that leaving the horses at the gate of the county government was also in the past, but when he saw the two pawns with their eyes shining and looking at the horses greedily, he knew that the two of them had bad intentions and had the idea of five horses in their hearts.
Xu Yang knew that horses were strategic materials, and they had no price in the market, and if these people sold their horses, would they still have to chase and beat the two of them when they came out? It turned out that when the two of them went to report to the county order, they did not mention the five horses, but the purpose was to fill their pockets and take the opportunity to sell the five horses; if the four people came out, they said that the five horses had broken free from the reins and ran away, and there was no proof of their death, and it was expected that the four would not make a big fuss at the county government.
Xu Yang saw that the big tiger Xiaohu and Ma Zichen were about to tie the reins of the horse to the stone lion's legs, so he stopped them again and again, and said to the two pawns: "Two chiefs, we still have six dead bodies on our horses, do you want us to carry the corpses into the county office? Xu Yang thought in his heart that if the two of them didn't let them go, then he had to store the five horses in the inn and then redeem them.
The two pawns were originally happy when they saw that three of them were about to tie the reins of the horses to the stone lions, but when they heard that Xu Yang insisted on leading the horses into the county office, they were stunned. If the two of them don't realize that their tricks have been exposed, they might as well die.
The two pawns saw that their tricks had been discovered by Xu Yang, and they cursed each other in their hearts. Although the two of them had scolded Xu Yang countless times in their hearts, they still smiled and said, "This is what you said." If the county magistrate is soiled by your horse feces and urine, you will be responsible for cleaning it up! Then you should go in quickly, the county magistrate is still waiting for you inside. ā
The four of them led the horses towards the county office, and the pawn standing at the door sighed deeply and watched the four of them walk in without blinking. When the two of them watched the four of them disappear from view, they sighed deeply and complained that the duck in their hands flew away like this.
When the four of them led the horses through the Shenming Hall and the Yimen, they saw a large courtyard located in it. When the four of them led the horses inside, they saw two pawns standing in front of a screen in the courtyard, and motioned for the four to wait behind the screen, and then one of them ran towards the lobby. When the four of them stood behind the screen, they heard a voice from the courtyard: "Bring the remnants of the Holy Lotus Sect into the hall." ā
Xu Yang and the four of them heard that they were talking about themselves, and then they heard the pawn next to them signaling them to hurry up and go in. Xu Yang and the four of them immediately led the horses towards the courtyard. When the four of them saw the hall sitting majestically in the north and facing south, and there were two pawns standing at the door, the left and right sides of the door were jointly titled "Gain an official is not honorable, lose an official is not disgraced, don't say that an official is useless, the place depends on an official." "Right joint question" eats the people's food, wears the people's clothes, the people can be bullied, and they are also the people. ā
The four of them tied the horses to the stump in the courtyard, and then Dahu, Xiaohu, and Xu Yang each carried two dead bodies into the lobby. Xu Yang walked into the lobby and saw six people standing on the left and right sides wearing soap clothes, with "Ya" written on the front of the clothes, leaning on with red and black sticks, and behind these people were erected signs with the inscription "Silence" and "Avoidance". Directly above is a desk table, and at the back sits a man wearing a red hat and an official uniform. The barrier behind it is the landscape of the mountain, the water is clear, and the sun is bright, and a plaque is hung above, and the title is "the mirror hangs high". And there is a table on the left and right, and the master and friends of the curtain assist.
The three of them put the dead body on their shoulders on the ground, and Xu Yang looked at the person sitting upright, only to see him gritting his teeth and glaring at him. When Xu Yang saw the other party's fat head and big ears, he immediately recognized that the other party was a mudworm, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually be a seven-grade county commander in Changming County.
And just when Xu Yang was looking at the many mudworms, he saw the other party shoot the case, and the spitting star flew and roared: "Who are the two grass people below?
Xu Yang looked down and saw that the big tiger and the little tiger were already kneeling on the ground, while he and Ma Zichen were still standing. Xu Yang was about to speak, when he heard Ma Zichen beside him already say: "I am the growth of Yangfeng for six years, and I don't need to kneel in the lobby according to the law." ā
