Chapter 14 Punishment of Corrupt Officials
After deciding to stand up for the people of the county, Yu Zhong and his party stayed overnight on Erlong Mountain, and in the early morning of the second day, they went down the mountain with Wang Da and Wang Xiaoer, and came to the nearby county, which is called Yi County, but it is also within the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou.
And when the guards of the gates saw the multitude, they stopped them.
"Wait, pay the poll tax before entering the city, and one or two pieces of silver per person. The guard said arrogantly.
"What kind of tax is this? So much?" asked Yu Zhong.
"This is set by our county grandfather, hehe, if not, let the little girl in the back accompany grandpa to have a few drinks. Several guards glanced at Jin Luoyi with malicious intent and laughed.
"It seems that what the county people said is true, is the court raising you to oppress the people?" After speaking, Jin Luoyi instantly kicked a few times, kicked all the guards to the ground, pulled Yu Zhong directly into the city gate, and the group went straight to the county office.
Yixian County Ya.
"Report! Lord Magistrate, there are a few people who did not pay the poll tax, broke into the city gates, and even served as errand soldiers. A servant ran in in a panic.
"What kind of person is so bold, come here, come with me to see!" I saw that this Zhixian stretched his waist, got up from the Taishi's chair, ordered a group of officials, just walked out of the yamen, and met Yu Zhong and others head-on, and the yacha hurriedly pointed out, and a group of people surrounded Yu Zhong and others.
"Who are you who dare to be so bold as to beat the tax collector at my city gate? ”
"You are the magistrate of this Yi County?" Jin Luoyi said sharply.
"It's this official, little girl, do you know how to beat the court officials, according to the law of my Southern Han Kingdom, you have to be confiscated, but seeing that you are young, I will spare your sins if you are fined a thousand taels of silver. Otherwise, all of you will be unlucky!"
Jin Luoyi was angry after hearing this, and flew up to reward the corrupt official with two feet, kicking him and rolling on the ground several times before being supported by his subordinates, extremely embarrassed.
"Whoever comes, whoever comes, take it all down for me!" said the corrupt official angrily.
"Bold!" two officials flashed behind Jin Luoyi: "Do you know who you are talking to? This is the daughter of Lord Jin of Jiangzhou." ”
This Jiangzhou Zhizhou is the boss of this corrupt official, he heard this, and he didn't care about the image of being disgraced, he quickly got up and patted his body, helped the official hat, and changed his flattering face: "It turned out that Miss Jin was coming, and the lower officials were offended, offended!" turned around and slapped the officer next to him twice.
"Look at the trouble you caused me, go and apologize to the eldest lady!"
"No, it's the people here who should apologize. Yu Zhong pointed to Wang Da, Wang Xiaoer and other county citizens present.
"Yes, yes, yes, Childe is right, apologize quickly. The corrupt official turned to the servants and reprimanded. I saw a group of errand soldiers in front of everyone, apologizing repeatedly. The surrounding county residents saw that someone helped them out of their anger, and they all applauded together, only to see more and more onlookers, the crowd was excited, some county residents handed over the paper, complained about grievances, and even more directly under the black fist and black feet, this corrupt official suffered a few times, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he begged for mercy repeatedly. Yu Zhong hurriedly separated the crowd and stopped the county people, while Jin Luoyi asked people to tie up the corrupt officials. arranged for the accompanying officials, took the county citizens who testified, and asked them to escort the corrupt officials to the Jiangzhou Mansion to seek justice from Lord Jin.
"Yu Gongzi, Miss Jin, in the future, if you want to use my king's place, I can't give up it. Wang Da gave Yu Zhong and Jin Luoyi a big gift.
"So are we!" Wang Xiaoer and the rest of the county residents shouted.
Unexpectedly, during this journey, they could do some good deeds of chivalry and righteousness, and after solving the matter of this corrupt official, Yu Zhong and others had to continue on the road, and the county citizens of Yi County prepared fast horses and water and food for them, and sent them to the city gate, and thanked them repeatedly.
Although it is a little inappropriate to dispose of the civil officials of the court privately, but the children of the rivers and lakes are happy to enmity and hatred, and the road is uneven, so why should they care about this.
While everyone was talking and laughing, they galloped away.
This spring, the child's face changes three times a day, the sun is still shining at noon, and the evening is suddenly cloudy and rainy, and the raindrops of beans are down, pouring everyone into a soup chicken. It happened that there was a manor not far ahead, and it was getting late, so the three of them led their horses and walked towards the manor, preparing to spend the night and shelter from the rain by the way.
"Is there anyone?" Yu Zhong patted the door, found that the door was not locked, and opened it with a push. I saw that the courtyard was overgrown with grass and rocks, obviously it had been abandoned for a long time, but there was a pear tree in the courtyard, but it grew very well, which formed a great contrast with this barren courtyard. Walking into the hall, the broken walls are crumbling, the ring is blocked, the spiders are webs, and the thatch is piled up, although it is dilapidated, it is enough to shelter from the wind and rain. Yu Zhong found some dry branches and hay, took out the fire fold, and lit a bonfire.
"The eldest lady and the son will rest for a while, and then go down to the house to inspect the house to see if there is anything abnormal. The servant said and went to inspect the room.
"Luo Yi, you help me take off my coat and roast it, it's not convenient for me to use this hand. Yu Zhong began to take off his shirt as he spoke, revealing his muscular figure.
"Ahh
"Don't make trouble, help quickly, you take off your coat and hand it to me in a while, I'll help you bake, don't catch the cold." ”
Jin Luoyi had no choice but to lower his head, help Yu Zhong take off his shirt, and then quickly hid to the side.
"You also close your eyes, don't peek!" Jin Luoyi turned his back and unbuttoned his coat and threw it over.
"Stay near to the fire and roast the rain on you, and I won't be able to eat you. Yu Zhong said, how did he know about the shyness of the girl, after all, even if he only wore shorts to run around at home since he was a child, Feiyan never took it seriously.
After hearing this, Jin Luoyi slowly moved a few steps to the fire, looked at the fire, remembered the scene of their first meeting, and couldn't help but smile.
"What are you laughing at all of a sudden? It can't be that the shower is stupid, I'll touch it to see if I have a fever. Yu Zhong reached out and touched Jin Luoyi's forehead, touched his forehead again, and said to himself: "There is no fever either." ”
Jin Luoyi suddenly only felt that his face was burning badly, and he didn't know if it was too close to the fire.
"Yu Gongzi, my subordinates have inspected it, there is no one around this house, it should have been abandoned for a long time, but this back hall is a little ...... Would you like to take a look with me? By this time, the officials had returned from their rounds.
"Luo Yi, you rest here, I'll come when I go. Yu Zhong put on his clothes, took his sword, and went to the back hall with the officials.
In this back hall, it is also as dilapidated as the front hall, and there is an incense case in the empty house, and on the incense case are placed thirty-two god tablets full of cobwebs, and a gust of wind blows, making people shudder.
It seems that the owner of this house should have been a big family before, and he must have suffered misfortune and died all over the house. Yu Chong walked in before he saw the words on the god card, and there was a "spiritual position of Jiayan Daytime Average" on the main seat in the middle, and the other spiritual seats were also from the Bai family.
"Bai Jun!" Yu Zhong always felt that the name was familiar.
"Yu Gongzi, this day should be the name of the victim of the tragedy that shocked the rivers and lakes ten years ago. The official said.
Yes, Yu Zhong suddenly remembered that he was still young at that time, and he just heard his father and second uncle talk about it, and this day was the leader of the martial arts alliance of the year, who expected that overnight, the whole door was destroyed, and even alarmed Ouchi to send secret agents to investigate the case, but the murderer has not been found so far, and it has become an unsolved case. I didn't expect to pass by the Bai family's mansion today, looking at these tablets, the Bai family should still have descendants, how to make this manor barren like this, this is really a bit crazy,
"The juniors are just passing by for a night, and the seniors are strange and strange. Yu Zhong hurriedly made a few gestures to the god card and withdrew, after all, he is a senior in the rivers and lakes, he should not be embarrassed by his juniors, poor this martial arts alliance leader, what a beautiful situation when he was alive, he didn't expect to end up in this full house, Yu Zhong couldn't help but sigh secretly.
"Brother Yu, what's wrong with the back hall?"
"It's okay, some of the past events have passed away with the wind. ”
The rivers and lakes are like this, the days when the knife licks the blood, maybe you are still admired by thousands of people one moment, and the next second you will be doomed, just like that Qiu Gui, when he stole the imperial tomb, he thought that he would end up in a different place. And Yu Zhong was also involved in an unknown whirlpool because of this incident.
Save the people, punish the greedy, and act chivalrous, and the spring rain is a night in Baijiazhuang.
After the wind and rain, the sky gradually revealed the white of the fish's belly.
