Chapter 4 The county lieutenant comes forward
This week, Tai was a man of temperament, and when he saw Liu Qing following Cheng Qi and Cheng Kang to the county government, he ran all the way, and after a while, he arrived in front of Liu Kai's mansion.
He couldn't wait to pass through, and shouted outside the door: "Mingjun, Mingjun, can you be in the mansion?" ”
"I am Zhou Tai, I have an urgent matter to ask for help from Mingjun."
Liu Kai, the county lieutenant, is also a native of Xiting Township, and accidentally fell into the river one day and was rescued by Zhou Tai. Although he is not confused, he still loves to practice martial arts, in addition to being a good official, he is also heroic and righteous, and he is quite similar to Zhou Tai.
He was practicing martial arts in the house, and he was very unhappy when he heard the shouting outside the door, but when he saw that it was Zhou Tai, he was overjoyed and went to the door to greet him in person.
"It was Youping, why was he in such a hurry. You have a good ability, but you can know that you need to be calm to achieve great things. ”
"Come, follow me into the hospital, I haven't been rewarded for saving me last time, and the others are put aside in advance, you and I will come first to compare fists and feet, and then drink three bowls, wouldn't it be happy?" Liu Kai pulled Zhou Tai into the courtyard and said as he walked.
"Thank you, Lord Taido, for your advice. It's just that human lives are at stake, and this matter really can't wait. Mingjun forgives my sins, I am anxious now, but I don't have half the mind to drink. ”
Hearing about human life, Liu Kai did not dare to slack off. "Oh? Where did the murder happen? But that Cheng Kang in the county was killed by Li Kuang? ”
"Definitely. The matter is urgent, Rong made a long story short, that Cheng Kang polluted my Xiting Township Liu Da to risk grain, and his subordinate Cheng Fu Cheng Gui beat him to half death. His son Liu Qing saw that his father was humiliated and wanted to kill Liu Kai, but failed. Cheng Qi arrived later and brought both of them into the county office. I saw that Liu Qing was born lightly and his father was filial piety, he was a person in my generation, Tai begged the adult to save his life, and his person would also be grateful for the kindness of the adult. ”
Hearing that this matter was related to Cheng Qi Cheng Kang, Zhou Tai was also involved, he knew that this matter was by no means so simple as saving someone, so he lowered his head and pondered, and did not answer.
Liu Kai, the county lieutenant, has been a county lieutenant for many years, since the previous county commander was promoted to the county, this new county magistrate from other places is a moral gentleman, good at writing poems and ignoring political affairs, he and Cheng Qiming fought secretly, and they all wanted to say no words in the county, but the chess opponent failed to distinguish the winner or loser, because the county lieutenant was in charge of public security and thieves and Cheng Qi was scheming, and sometimes he was at a disadvantage.
"Mingjun, Mingjun, you have a word." Zhou Tai saw that Liu Kai refused to speak, so he fidgeted and rubbed his hands there, not knowing what to do.
At this time, Jia Hua ran into the courtyard sweating profusely and said, "Big brother, I've taken it all." ”
Zhou Tai took the burden, half-knelt on the ground and said: "Mingjun, such a righteous man must not die at the hands of villains like Cheng Kang and Cheng Qi, I am willing to ask Mingjun to save his life, if you need to take care of it, my family's wealth is all here." Tai deeply misses the kindness of the Lord. ”
"Hahaha, Brother Xian, why is this here, why is this here?"
Liu Kai helped Zhou Tai up and said: "It's not that I don't want to save people, it seems that such a heroic young man is my own family, and I want to save it." If Cheng Kang is a splash, it would be better to say, I have known Cheng Qi for many years, and I know him very well, this person is slippery and cunning, and the county magistrate is resting again, I am afraid that this matter is not simple. ”
"It turned out that the adult was afraid of that Cheng Qi, I thought that the adult was a generous and righteous person, but I saw the wrong person, Tai went alone, so don't pass by."
Zhou Tai hugged his fists and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Liu Kai.
"Remember what I said? Don't be impatient, but it is not possible for the two of them to go to the county office, and the matter can only be solved by the two of them. ”
"By the way, take this thing away quickly, who do you think I am? It is not that you have come to ask me, but that I am also to be saved by these righteous men. ”
"It is heartfelt to save people's hearts, and Ming Jun forgives his sins, but this matter is confused for a while."
The words are divided into two ends, one for each table.
Anhui County Yanei.
"You take the grain, but you want to sell it?"
"Cheng Xiancheng, my father's pain is unbearable, and it is difficult to answer."
"So you answer for him."
"What did your father do with two bags of grain?"
Liu Qing shook his head and didn't speak.
"You killed officials in the downtown area at a young age, who instructed you?"
Liu Qing was silent.
"Thou ...... You" Cheng Qi saw that Liu Qing didn't say a word, and jumped to his feet angrily.
Suddenly, there was a commotion, and the outside of the county office was crowded with people, but all the villagers just now came.
Liu Qing slowly raised his head and looked at Cheng Qi with a faint sneer on the corner of his mouth, like a hunter slowly appreciating his prey before hunting.
Cheng Qi was full of question marks, "Isn't this kid stupid, I'm not mistaken, right?" He's smiling at me? He didn't know where he was. ”
Before he had time to think about it, he heard a "pong", and Liu Qing suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this, Cheng Qi hurriedly motioned to several county officials to pull him up, but he couldn't pull it up.
In the crowd, Liu An pinched his throat and took the lead in shouting, "This ** thief, first beat Liu Da, and now this child is unconscious, they are going to harm people now, what is the reason?" Where is the royal law? ”
"Cheng Kang stole two hens from my house the day before yesterday, but they are not as good as pigs and dogs," said Song Tou, an old man in the east of the village.
"The lady I married the day before yesterday, I haven't seen it yet, but I was seen by this erection first, it's hateful." Li Kuangdao.
"I saw this Cheng Qi go to Li's house in the east of the village late yesterday night, alas, Li Kuang is also here today, I really can't bear to speak, this thief is very hateful," said Zhang Mazi, who loves to uphold justice on weekdays.
Then everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and at this time, they didn't dare to say anything and couldn't bear to speak, but their brains shook out, under the arch fire of Liu An and a few villagers, the more they talked, the more angry they became, and they were about to rush in to fight this Cheng Kang Chengqi, and those county officials didn't dare to pull it aside anymore.
Before, Liu An didn't believe that what Liu Qing said would be useful, what 'you just need to pretend that passers-by take the lead in shouting, hook out the anger of the villagers, and take them back their own things' He didn't understand what it meant, so he just pinched his throat and shouted, but it was really useful. These must be the words of the sages in the book, my cousin is really God, it seems that reading is good, and when this matter is over, ask him which book he is reading, and get it to read it himself.
"Quiet, quiet, the county government dares to be presumptuous."
But it was the county lieutenant Liu Kai who came.
He said quietly, but he didn't stop it. He has been fighting with Cheng Qi for many years, competing for power in the county, and impacting Cheng Qi's face like this, he is a hundred willing to see it.
I thought that it would be better to know that this was the case, and let the villagers beat up that Cheng Qi, and then come to be a good person to appease the villagers, alas, I still didn't think about it, I should come later, I should come later.
"There is no need to make a noise, I will handle this matter impartially." Chen Kai said.
"Don't believe it, we don't believe it, you don't have a good thing"
"Yes, you are all in a gang, most of Liu's good people, you are beaten like this."
"His child is also a filial son, and he was so harmed by you that he couldn't afford to fall to the ground"
The villagers have never seen the official when they work on weekdays, and they don't know the infighting in the officialdom in the county.
Cheng Qi was not lightly angry, and walked into the lobby with his sleeves brushed up. But there are some doubts in my heart, the villagers are honest and honest on weekdays, how can they be fearless today, it seems that this matter is not handled properly but it will not end well.
After thinking about it, he clapped his hands and sneered and said to Cheng Qi: "Cheng Xiancheng, how can you be so loved if you don't see you for a day, so many villagers have to come to take care of you and your precious nephew, what a good thing you have done!" ”
"Don't be impatient, everyone, and don't talk nonsense. The county lieutenant was invited by me to deal with this matter, can you trust me Zhou Tai? ”
"If it's a young peace, it's natural to be trustworthy."
"It's okay to be a guarantee for Youping, but it must be dealt with impartially," the villagers responded one after another.
Zhou Tai is usually anxious and righteous, and he has helped many people, and he has some prestige in the township, that is, he stands up as a guarantee, otherwise the anger that the villagers are now provoked by the villagers, Cheng Kang Chengqi and Liu Kai will inevitably be beaten.
"That's natural, everyone can rest assured, I Liu Kai is also from Xiting Township, this matter will be handled impartially, not like some people reversing black and white"
Seeing that the arrogance of the villagers was a little weaker, Liu Kai saw that it was a good time to attack Cheng Qi to establish his prestige, so he hurriedly stepped on Cheng Qi.
Then I saw Zhou Tai and Jia Hua carrying a small house and throwing them into the yaya like chickens.
