Li Qiufeng and the others stood at the foot of the stone steps, listening to the sound of drums, which spread far away. The two catchers struggled to get up from the ground, and watched Xiao Dong beat the drum with a look of horror. One of them said in a trembling voice: "You, you dare to beat the tolerance and beat the drums indiscriminately, if the eldest master is promoted, he will have to beat you to death." It's just that the drums are rumbling, and Xiao Dong can't hear what he's saying at all.

After Xiao Dong knocked dozens of times, there was no response from the yamen. Xiao Dong was annoyed, and the strength in his hands gradually increased. He was beating vigorously when he suddenly heard a muffled sound of "poof", and the drumstick actually pierced the drum surface. Xiao Dong became more and more annoyed, threw his right hand, only to hear the sound of "whew", and the drumstick flew straight towards the door and smashed on the door panel. The force of this throw was so great that the drumstick broke into two with a "click", and the door panel trembled lightly.

Li Qiufeng saw that Xiao Dong was furious, and secretly thought in his heart, this person was on an errand in the Firearms Bureau, and he didn't take the Dongliao County Yamen in his eyes at all. He used all his strength to throw this one, and if someone happened to open the door and come out, he would be in danger of dying immediately. Tonight's events are too weird, and Xiao Dong is so furious, obviously everything is in chaos. It will not be easy to recover the big ship.

As he was thinking, he saw the door open inward, and a group of catchers rushed out. The leader of the catcher held a steel knife in his hand, and when he saw Xiao Dong standing in front of the drum rack, he immediately shouted viciously: "Fuck, did you kid beat the drum just now?!"

Before Xiao Dong could answer, the two hunters who were thrown under the stone steps by him saw his companions rush out, and their courage immediately strengthened a lot. A catcher pointed at Xiao Dong and shouted: "He catches the head, it's this thief beating the drum! He also sneaked up on us, and he was vicious, so take him down and ask him for the crime!"

After He Zhutou heard this, he glanced at Xiao Dong a few more times, and said: "Okay, which mountain is a good man who eats mixed rice, report his fame to listen." ”

Before he finished speaking, the figure in front of him flickered, and Xiao Dong had already arrived in front of him. He Zhutou was shocked and wanted to retreat. Xiao Dong's hand was quick, his left hand stretched out, and he had already grabbed his left shoulder and shoulder. He Zhutou's whole body was instantly sore, and he didn't have any strength. There was a sound of "dang", but the steel knife in his hand had fallen to the ground.

Xiao Dong restrained He Zhutou, and Sen Ran said, "Has the county magistrate been promoted?"

He Zhutou only felt that his right arm was sore, and he knew that the opponent was too powerful. As the so-called hero does not suffer the loss in front of him, he hurriedly changed his smiling face and said: "The eldest master has been promoted to the court, let the villain come to invite the uncle to speak." Please, please. ”

Xiao Dong snorted, turned his head to Zhang Shi, Li Qiufeng and the others and said, "Everyone follow me to the hall to see Lord Zhixian." ”

Everyone walked up the stone steps according to the words, and when the surrounding catchers saw that He Zhutou was under the control of Xiao Dong, everyone was horrified, and saw Li Qiufeng and others walking up, but no one dared to step forward to stop them. Xiao Dong let go of He Zhutou's shoulder well point with his left hand, He Zhutou only felt that his body was light, and the soreness of his right arm disappeared instantly. It's just that just as he was about to turn around and run away, Xiao Dong's left hand pressed on the big vertebral point on his back again. He Zhutou only felt a heat in his back, and suddenly the entire spine from his neck to his waist felt numb and crispy. He Zhutou knew that something was wrong, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. I only heard Xiao Dong sneer, and said in his mouth: "If you are obedient, I will naturally not hurt you." If you dare to move, I will not kill you. It's just that if I push a little harder, your spine will break into a dozen pieces. At that point, you'll never be able to stand up again in your life. What do you think, Lord Headcatcher?"

He Zhutou said in a trembling voice: "The villain understands that the villain will never move, and the uncle will not do anything if he is told." ”

Xiao Dong sneered: "Count you kid smart." Okay, take us to the hall to meet Lord Zhixian. ”

He Zhutou agreed repeatedly, and then slowly walked towards the yamen. Several catchers who were blocking the door saw He Catcher coming over, and they dared to stop him, and they retreated to the left and right. Xiao Dong pressed his left hand on the big vertebral point of He Zhutou, and followed him into the yamen. Zhang Shi, Shopkeeper Hu and others followed behind Xiao Dong, seeing a group of hunters gathered around, steel knives, iron rulers, and water and fire sticks in their hands facing everyone. It's just that because He Zhutou was restrained by Xiao Dong, these catchers didn't dare to step forward to stop them. Li Qiufeng and Wei Erbao walked last. Wei Erbao secretly complained bitterly in his heart, thinking that these bastards had lost their minds and gone crazy, and they dared to coerce He Zhutou, how different is this from rebellion? In the future, when the yamen tracked down, these people patted their butts and left, but they had nowhere to escape, and they could not escape their involvement. Thinking of this, Wei Erbao only felt that his heart sank, his legs trembled, and he could barely move a step. Li Qiufeng saw that his face was like earth, and knew that he was afraid, so he had to stretch out his left hand and support Wei Erbao's ribs, and walked towards the yamen with him.

Dongliao County Zhixian Yamen sits in the north and faces south, there are three portals, the main gate in the middle is the largest, and the corner doors on both sides are slightly smaller. At this time, everyone walked into the yamen from the gate, only to see that there was a large courtyard inside the door, surrounded by a corridor of wings, and many lanterns were hung under the corridor, which illuminated the courtyard as bright as day. In the courtyard, there were twenty or thirty hedgehogs, holding steel knives and iron rulers in their hands, standing under the stone steps of the gate, blocking everyone's way.

Xiao Dong kept at his feet, pushing He Zhu's head and walking down the stone steps. The crowd saw He Zhutou trembling and walking in front of Xiao Dong, although they couldn't see Xiao Dong's left hand pressed on He Zhutou's vest, they also knew that the situation was different. An elderly catcher said in a loud voice, "Who are these people, and where are you going to take them?"

Xiao Dong sneered, and the internal force in the palm of his left hand spat slightly. Xiao Dong only felt that his back was hot, and his spine was sore. He knew that Xiao Dong's words were true, and he could make himself a waste at any time. He has been powerful in Dongliao County for more than ten years, and almost every merchant in the city has been blackmailed by him. If he becomes a waste, these people will take revenge, and his fate will be extremely miserable, it is better to be killed by someone, but it will be a hundred. Thinking of this, He Zhutou straightened his face and shouted to the crowd: "This uncle beats the drum and shouts grievances, if you want to see the county master speak, why don't you hurry up and retreat?!"

When the crowd saw He Zhutou like this, they were all suspicious in their hearts. Seeing the dozen or so catchers who rushed out of the gate with He Zhutou before, they all looked frightened, knowing that there must be something hidden in them. It's just that He Zhutou is mean, and he does his best to bully the crowd on weekdays. If someone dares to disobey orders, they will often be framed by He Zhutou's design. After He Zhutou finished speaking, the crowd looked at each other, did not dare to disobey, and retreated to the left and right, making way for a way.

Li Qiufeng looked at the magistrate's yamen as he walked. I saw that the main hall is about ten zhang away from the gate, the face is five wide, the pillars are painted red, the corners and eaves are painted with flowers, birds, insects and fish, the posture is different, lifelike. There is a pair of wooden couplets embedded on the big red pillars on both sides of the main hall gate, the wooden couplet on the left side reads "Deceive people as if you deceive the sky, don't deceive yourself", and on the right side of the wooden couplet is written "Bear the people, that is, bear the country". Li Qiufeng secretly thought in his heart that this yamen was a little smaller than the yamen of Xiuwu County, but these houses were much more gorgeous. In such a remote and small county, the yamen is built so luxuriously. The magistrate is not a good official when he thinks about it. This couplet is written with a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude, but looking at the fierce and brutal appearance of these tolerances, you can know that this couplet is just a façade decoration, and it is all a lie.

Xiao Dong pushed He Zhutou to the front of the lobby. I saw that the hall was brightly lit, and a huge plaque was hung in the middle, with five gilded characters on it. Directly below the plaque is the warm pavilion of the county trial, and there is a seawater screen standing on the front of the warm pavilion, and there is a plaque with four golden characters written on it. The three-foot law table is placed on the wooden high platform in the warm pavilion, the four treasures of the study room and the order arrow barrel are placed on the table, and a Taishi chair is placed behind the table, the left is the arrow stand, and the right has a black folding fan. There is a piece of bluestone on the left and right sides of the front of the warm pavilion, which is specially set up for the people who are waiting for trial.

On the left and right sides of the main hall stood a row of officials, six people in each row, holding boards and water and fire sticks in their hands. There was a white-faced and long-bearded official sitting on the Taishi chair in the warm pavilion, looking like he was in his forties, his eyes were a little blue, and his body was thin. There was a person standing on the left side of the bookcase, wearing a gray cloth scarf, a navy blue robe, and a white paper fan in his hand, quite elegant. It's just that he has sharp-beaked monkey gills and a cunning look in his eyes. He was leaning over and whispering to the official. It wasn't until Xiao Dong pushed He Zhutou to the front of the main hall that he suddenly stood up straight, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Lord Zhixian has ascended to the court!
