Xiao Dong pushed He Zhutou up the stone steps until he reached the front door of the main hall. Zhang Shi and Shopkeeper Hu and others did not dare to break into the court without permission, and stood at the foot of the stone steps and waited. Li Qiufeng stood behind everyone with Wei Erbao in his arms, turning his head to look around. I saw that there was a meeting room on each side of the main hall, and the left and right sides of the courtyard were corridor-like corridors, which were equipped with rooms on both sides. At this time, the lanterns hanging on the promenade have been lit, making the entire Zhixian Yamen as bright as day, and it looks more and more magnificent.

Xiao Dong stood at the door of the main hall, and saw that the officials in the hall had already arranged their shifts, and the magistrate also sat on the Taishi's chair, and secretly thought to himself, the old man of the Beijing Criminal Department has passed by, are you still afraid that your little county magistrate will not succeed? He carefully looked at the official sitting on the Taishi's chair, and secretly thought that this magistrate knew at a glance that he was a corrupt official, and the one standing next to the bookcase must be the master. This man was born with such a treacherous face, and he must not be a good person.

When the master spoke loudly, he asked Xiao Dong to sign up for the hall. Xiao Dong sneered, and pushed forward with his left hand, He Zhutou only felt a strong surge behind him, and he couldn't help but snatch it forward. But the threshold of the main hall was more than a foot high, and he staggered forward, his left leg stumbling on the threshold, and he fell to the ground involuntarily. He Zhutou was shocked and secretly screamed badly. It's just that it was impossible to stand firm at this time, so I could only watch and fall to the ground.

At this moment, Xiao Dong had already crossed the threshold and walked straight to the hall. His left hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed He Zhutou's belt, which prevented He Zhutou from falling to the ground. He Zhu had a big head and a round waist, but he was carried by Xiao Dong in his hands, as if he was carrying a baby, and it seemed that it would take no effort. Seeing this situation, the magistrate, the master, and the officials standing in the hall changed their faces greatly.

Xiao Dong took two steps with He Zhutou in his hand, and then put him down. He Zhutou's face was like white paper, and he said in a trembling voice: "Enlightenment, my lord, the prisoner has been, has been brought, please, please send ...... down."

The magistrate and the master saw He Zhutou like this, and they were annoyed, secretly thinking that you looked like a lost dog, obviously a criminal brought you in, and you were still covering up in front of everyone, which is really shameless. I saw Zhixian grab the shocking wood on the bookcase, hit it hard, and shouted: "Who is the one who is standing, report the name?"

Xiao Dong sneered, and said: "My surname is Xiao Mingdong, a native of the capital." ”

Zhixian's face changed, he said, "Huh", looked at Xiao Dong carefully, and asked sharply: "The capital is thousands of miles away from Dongliao County, what are you doing in this county?"

Xiao Dong said: "Xiao didn't think of this despicable place originally, but he encountered wind and waves at sea and the ship was damaged, so he had to go to the dock of Dongliao County to take refuge." Who would have thought that this Dongliao County turned out to be a den of thieves, and in broad daylight, some thieves stole Xiao's boat. As the magistrate of Dongliao County, don't you feel ashamed?"

Zhixian didn't expect Xiao Dong to dare to speak like this, he was stunned at first, and then he was furious, he stood up from the Taishi's chair at once, pointed at Xiao Dong with his right hand and said angrily: "This official has been an official for more than ten years, and it is the first time I have seen such a fierce fanatic as you! You were originally from the capital city, how could you walk from the sea when you came to Dongliao County? It is obvious that you are lying in public and deceiving this official. The official looks at you treacherously, not like a good person. Nine times out of ten, beating the drum in the middle of the night is another plan! It seems that you don't need to be punished, but you are unwilling to tell the truth. ”

When the magistrate said this, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a stick from the quiver and threw it at Xiao Dong, and shouted in his mouth: "Come on, beat this madman with thirty boards first, and then put him in prison." After the official finds out his origin, he will be questioned again!"

only heard the sound of "dang", and the skewer fell on the stone slab in front of Xiao Dong. The officials on the left and right shouted the word "mighty" in unison, and then two officials rolled up their sleeves and walked over, reaching out from the left and right sides to grab Xiao Dong's shoulders. When He Zhutou saw this situation, he was overjoyed, and secretly thought that no matter how crazy you are, you kid will not dare to roar in court. When we take you down, Lao Tzu will beat you personally on this board. If you don't fight the ascension of one Buddha to heaven and the birth of two Buddhas, Lao Tzu will not have the surname He. After putting you in prison, I simply made you with a sandbag at night, which can be regarded as revenge for being humiliated by you today.

I saw that the two officials reached out and grabbed Xiao Dong's arm, but as soon as their fingers touched Xiao Dong's shirt, they suddenly felt a strong surge over. I only heard the two of them exclaim in unison, their bodies flew up, "bang" twice, and they had fallen two or three feet away, and they couldn't get up again for a while. All the officials were shocked and retreated. He Zhutou had already snatched the board from the hands of one of the officials, stood behind Xiao Dong, and only after the two officials pressed Xiao Dong down, he was about to execute it with his own hands. It's just that when he saw that the two officials didn't know what Xiao Dong had used to throw them out, he was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated backwards, until he reached the door of the main hall, and then stopped.

The magistrate and the master didn't expect the situation to change, and their faces changed greatly. The magistrate shouted angrily: "It's the other way around! You madman dares to do it in the courtroom, and according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, it is a heinous felony! Come on, take down this madman quickly! If he still dares to resist, he will be killed!"

Seeing that Xiao Dong was motionless, more than a dozen officials in the main hall threw the two companions out, only to say that he would make demon magic, and one by one they were frightened and retreated. At this time, when they heard that the magistrate had ordered Xiao Dong to be arrested, although these officials shouted and threatened, none of them dared to step forward to make a move with Xiao Dong, but retreated a few steps back.

Seeing this situation, the magistrate was furious, grabbed the shocking wood and struck another heavy blow on the bookcase, and shouted in his mouth: "He catches the head, you still don't take someone to take down this madman?!"

He Zhutou had retreated to the door of the main hall at this time, one foot raised, and he was about to escape from the door. Hearing the magistrate's angry shout, he was so frightened that he shook his body, so he had to take the foot he took back again. He threw the board in his hand on the ground, pulled out his waist knife, and bluffed at the crowd of hunters standing outside the door of the main hall: "Why don't you come in and take down this madman?!"

The crowd of people who were crowded outside the door saw He Zhutou being subdued by Xiao Dong with their own eyes, and only then did they see that the two officials had suffered a big loss, and they were already afraid in their hearts. How dare these catchers rush into the main hall to make a move? One by one, they waved their waist knives, iron rulers, and water and fire sticks in their hands and shouted loudly, but no one dared to rush into the main hall to arrest people. The old catcher saw the opportunity very quickly, and secretly thought that the county lord and He Zhutou had already ordered to arrest people, but the idea was very powerful, if he rushed in to do it, there was a chance that he would be unlucky. However, although this idea is powerful, the guys who follow him are not practitioners at first glance. It is better to catch these people outside the door first, firstly, you can arrest the madman in the hall, and secondly, the magistrate of the county and He Zhutou ordered to take people, and they did not dare to do it, and they would inevitably be punished afterwards. If you catch these people outside the door, you can be regarded as obeying the orders of Lord Zhixian and He Zhutou. Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?

Lao Yu quickly made up his mind, and with a wave of the knife in his right hand, he pounced on Zhang Shi and Hu Shopkeeper who were standing under the stone steps. Zhang Shi and the others stood at the foot of the stone steps, stretching their necks to look at the main hall. Although he heard the magistrate roaring in the main hall, but thinking of Xiao Dong's strong martial arts and working as an errand in the Beijing Firearms Bureau, he stepped forward to do things, and the magistrate of Dongliao County Yamen never dared to disobey. It's just that he didn't expect that the old catcher wouldn't be able to get people from the main hall soon, but instead swung his knife and pounced on him. The crowd was shocked, and they turned around in a panic and fled.

The group of people standing outside the door saw that the old catcher did not enter the main hall to get people, but pounced on Zhang Shi and others who were standing under the stone steps. These people and Lao Zhukuai are all in the same mind, so they are naturally not to be left behind, and they shouted and chased after Zhang Shi and others. Zhang Shi and the shopkeeper Hu and others were so frightened that they hid in the middle of the courtyard to avoid the crowd that swarmed.

Seeing this, Li Qiufeng secretly scolded these fast catches in his heart for being shameless. Seeing that the shopkeeper Luo was running slowly, he was tripped by a catcher who stretched out his legs, screamed and fell to the ground. Immediately, two or three catchers rushed up and pressed the shopkeeper Luo under him like a stack of arhats. Shopkeeper Luo lay on the ground, and the few trappers who were smashed down were so overwhelmed that their eyes were full of stars, and the bones in their whole bodies were in pain as if they were broken, and they couldn't help but scream loudly.
