Chapter 10 The conflict at the gate of the county government
Compared with Lingbei City, Lingbei County Ya is still very spirited, the county Ya gate, at first glance, is made of good Nanmu, the roof tiles, is not an ordinary green brick, is a glazed tile.
Moreover, it occupies the best location in Lingbei County, in the middle, the only main road in the county, which runs through the entrance of the county government.
Although there is no one at the gate of the county government at the moment, on the main road, the people passing by will be far away when they pass by.
From time to time, he looked at the eyes at the door of the county office, with a little fear.
Li Hu and Zhao Da waited patiently at the door for some time, but there was no sign of opening the closed county ya.
After waiting for almost half an hour, Li Hu stepped forward boldly and gently knocked on the door.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A crisp knock sounded on the door, but there was still no movement in response, just when Li Hu hesitated whether to knock.
Crunch, the closed door suddenly opened, and a sharp voice rang out.
"Where did the rural villagers come from, dare to knock on the door of the county government, if you don't tell me the reason today, you have to go with me anyway."
A servant wearing the uniform of a county official walked out very unhappily.
looked at Li Hu and Zhao Da with disdain.
Li Hu arched his hand to the servant, and said in a good voice, "Don't blame the official, it's the little one who is ignorant and shocks the official, and the little one knows that there is no big deal, so he won't dare to disturb the official." ”
"A few days ago, a big insect came down the mountain in my village, injured several people in my village, and finally subdued it, and deliberately carried the big insect to the government to receive some reward."
"Huh? Big bugs? Let me see. The official with a full face raised his eyebrows, and his face was a little shocked.
Every year, the most I hear is that the big insect comes down the mountain to hurt people and subdue the big insect, which is a bit strange.
Even if it is a servant, it is also a spirit.
Li Hu hurriedly beckoned the iron ox and the aquatic life, pulled the corner of the straw mat, and suddenly, the rich smell of blood and the smell of rotten flesh rushed to his face.
The official covered his mouth and nose, glanced at it, and quickly waved his hand, and the curiosity on his face disappeared.
He said coldly, "Okay, okay, I know, you are lucky, you meet a sick tiger, drag it down, register and receive the reward." ”
"Official, this is not a sick tiger, but..."
Zhao Da added, but halfway through speaking, he was stopped by Li Hu.
Li Hu bowed his hand to the official and continued, "What the official said is that the official took the liberty of asking the official how much reward this sick tiger can receive. ”
"20 taels, don't stay here, take it away." The official was full of displeasure and motioned for Li Hu to leave quickly.
"20 taels? Is the official mistaken, although this big insect is a little rotten, the skeleton and tiger skin are intact, no matter what, it can be counted as 80 taels. ”
"Whew! 80 taels! Some of you rural villagers really dare to open this mouth, and if you are lucky enough to encounter a sick tiger, you dare to say that you have killed you. ”
"I can give you 20 taels, count your creation, and open your mouth 80 taels! Looking for a dead thing, you want 80 taels, right, come and go with the official and I, and see if you have any life! ”
The official with a meaty face was obviously angered by Li Hu, and hit Li Hu on the shoulder with a stick, and the next moment, he was going to carry Li Hu to the yamen.
"Official, I was wrong, it's a small nonsense, and I ask the official to let go of the small horse."
Li Hu hurriedly dodged, he knew that once he entered the yamen, it was a question of whether he could come out alive at that time.
"Hmph, the county government is an important place, how can it be that a pariahs like you are untouchable, come and go with the official!"
The official was full of disdain, grabbed Li Hu with his palm, and said that he would carry Li Hu into the yamen.
At that moment, a shovel came out from behind, and a spade slapped the back of the officer's hand.
The official was in pain, his body retreated, he held the water and fire stick in his hand, and scolded angrily.
"Okay, you untouchables, you dare to attack officials, come here, take down all these untouchables!"
After the words fell, a group of officials ran out of the yamen behind him, and without saying a word, surrounded Su Qi'an and the five people.
The official who was in pain looked at this scene and sneered at Su Qi'an, who had just shot at him.
"Stinky boy, aren't you very arrogant, dare to make a move on the official, today the official will see how hard your life is!"
The next moment, a group of officials who came over were about to take down Su Qi'an.
The aquatic and iron bull beside him hurriedly protected Su Qi'an.
Su Qi'an waved his hand and stood up directly, and when the officer's hand was about to fall on Su Qi'an's shoulder, Su Qi'an shouted.
"Presumptuous! Even you unqualified servants dare to touch me! Move me today, I'll make you all have to peel off this skin. ”
Su Qi'an's words shocked these officials, after all, they have been officials for so many years, and some eyesight is there.
After carefully looking at Su Qi'an a few times, it was obvious that this person was a little different from Li Hu and other untouchables.
Whether it is the courage to speak or the temperament around him, he is not an ordinary person at first glance.
The officials stopped, a little hesitant.
"Dare to ask what kind of fame is sir?"
These officials are worthy of being veterans, and after a few glances, they can conclude that Su Qi'an has a meritorious reputation.
Su Qi'an looked at it coldly and said softly, "Show your talent and fame." ”
Hearing this, the faces of the officials who came up were a little moved, and even the officials with a full face of flesh also slightly relieved the unhappy mood just now.
He arched his hand to Su Qi'an and said, "It turned out to be Master Xiucai, and it seems that there was a misunderstanding in today's matter." ”
He waved his hand and motioned for the official to retreat.
Su Qi'an's face was still indifferent, and he said softly, "Misunderstanding? Oh, what is this misunderstanding? If Su Mou is not a talented person, if he is really a civilian, will he really be killed by you? ”
"A little official, the official authority is not small."
Su Qi'an's words were like steel needles, piercing the hearts of several officials.
The face was pale for a while, but the Hengrou servant who was the leader had obviously seen some of the world, stepped forward quickly, with some smiles on his face, and smiled at Su Qi'an.
"Master Su, it's our fault for this matter today, as the saying goes, stay a line in life, and see each other in the future."
"Today, our brothers will give face to Master Su, and Master Su's official authority is enough, so it's good that this matter ends here."
"Hurt people at will, take people into the court, just a few words lightly, and I thought, is it possible to be so good as long as you meet a famous master?"
The official with a meaty face, his face was blue and white, and his smiling eyes immediately swelled with a trace of ruthlessness, and he whispered to Su Qi'an.
"The surname Su, call you a master, it's polite to you, don't be so ignorant, don't say that you are a little talent, even if it is to make a name for yourself, I can make you unable to get out of the county government alive, do you believe it?"
"Tut-tut, I don't even pay attention to lifting people, the Lingbei County Ya is going to turn the sky upside down, this old man wants to see, you little Ya Gong, what dare you say this."
"Zhao Da, Shuisheng, come forward and beat the drum for me, I'll see if this Lingbei County Ya will return to the Da Liang Law."
Su Qi'an's behavior startled the officials with a full face.
He really didn't expect that Su Qi'an would dare to instruct someone to knock on the drum in front of the door, and as soon as the drum sounded, no matter how small it was, it would have to be made big.
Although the officials with a full face are strong, they can still distinguish which is more important.
There was no need for him to command, and the rest of the servants stepped forward directly to stop Zhao Da and the three of them.
More than a dozen people gathered together, noisy and noisy, and the people who passed by to see this scene were all stunned, but they didn't stay long, and hurriedly left this place.
The noise at the entrance of the county yamen lasted not long, and then, from inside the yamen, a deep voice sounded.
"What's the fuss! This is the Lingbei County Ya, what kind of system is noisy and noisy. ”
Immediately afterward, a middle-aged man wearing a gray cloth robe and a square scarf on his head, like a gentleman, walked out.
"Master, I'm really sorry that you're here, a little thing has alarmed Master."
The official with a face full of flesh, looking at the gray-clothed man, immediately did not have the arrogance just now, and made amends again and again.
Although he has no official rank, he is the think tank of the county order, and his status is high, but he is a big celebrity in front of the county order.
Even the county lieutenant and the county magistrate have to give a little bit of thin face, not to mention the little servants who act as thugs.
Master Liu walked out, he didn't even look at the servant of the horizontal meat, and said to Su Qi'an.
"Since Your Excellency is a talented master, you must also be a reasonable person, and your subordinates are not sensible, here, I will make a compensatory to Master Su."
"This is not the place to talk, let's go, if you have any demands, let's talk about it in the side room."
After speaking, he turned around and walked in through the side door of the county office.
Su Qi'an was not afraid, waved his hand, took Li Hu and the four of them, dragged the cart, and entered the side gate of the county office.
Inside the side entrance, there is a cave, the floor is paved with pebbles, and various flowers are planted around it.
Walking all the way, it was quite quiet and peaceful, and the five of Su Qi'an had just dragged the cart into it.
Soon, several officials took over and towed the cart away.
Su Qi'an did not refuse, he knew that being able to let the county order celebrity come forward was already a big face for him.
As for this Master Liu, whether he will make any small moves behind his back, it is not necessary.
As Master Liu walked all the way, Su Qi'an and the five of them walked into a side room.
The side room is very large, at least more than 100 square meters, sit at will, a few maids come from the side, after the tea, there is no stay, and the acquaintance leaves.
And Master Liu, who was sitting opposite Su Qi'an, didn't speak, but just started to signal Su Qi'an to drink tea, and then didn't say a word.
In the quiet air, there was some condensation, but Su Qi'an did not panic for a moment, and tasted tea very calmly.
This is not Su Qi'an deliberately pretending, in his previous life, he had never seen any big scenes, the bigger the scene, the stronger his ability to resist pressure.
When he came to Daliang, even if he was sitting opposite the county order, Su Qi'an could not blush and his heart would not beat.
Su Qi'an was able to be calm, but Li Hu and Zhao Da were quite uneasy, even if they tried their best to hide it, their faces were full of nervousness.
Compared with Su Qi'an, this scene is a bit funny.
Finally, this unbearable wait lasted for half an hour, and with the entry of a maidservant, the silence was finally broken.
