"Are these the government officials in our city?"
After watching the menacing government officials running past and rushing towards the center of the city without looking back, a man hiding behind a tree carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead and inquired about his companions. .
"Probably, right!" The companion who was asked was also a little surprised. He looked at the backs of the government officials without blinking and said uncertainly: "But I seem to have heard before that the county in our city The master doesn’t have much money at all, and not only does he not have many government servants, but all of them are as thin as bamboo poles. Why did these few people just become tall and thick..."
"Hey, these people really don't look like the government officials in Ye City!"
The two people under the tree were still whispering. At this time, another person came forward and said to them mysteriously: "When I went to the city to earn a living in the morning, I happened to meet the government officials in our city. They definitely don't understand. Looks like this!"
"This morning? Have you seen them in the city?"
Hearing the sudden voice, the person who spoke at the beginning frowned and looked up at the person who spoke: "Are you talking about the county master sending someone to the Gaofu and Guangfu Yamen in the city? Isn’t it a matter of taking someone and being kicked out of the house?”
"Yes, yes, that's when!" The man who spoke behind saw the man asking him, and nodded repeatedly at first. When he realized something was wrong, he asked in surprise: "Huh? How did you know?"
The man said impatiently: "Nonsense! This matter was spread all over the city before noon. How could I not know about it? Tell me what you saw!"
"Ah? Oh." The man nodded blankly, and when he saw the man's urging eyes, he quickly put away his thoughts and said: "It's a coincidence that I happened to be near the Gaofu Yamen at that time, and I saw the government servants being arrested. The scolding was miserable! In the end, he didn’t even dare to fart, so he ran back dejectedly holding the notice. And even so, the people from the Gaofu Yamen made two buckets in front of everyone. The clean water washed away the place where they stood, just like washing horse manure, don't go too far!"
"This is indeed a bit too much! Are those government officials just tolerant?"
"Can't bear it? What can I do if I can't bear it? Who is calling our county master useless! Let me tell you something quietly. I heard that the Gaofu Yamen and Jiaofu Yamen, said to be yamen, are actually the emperor's money for those local wealthy people. The privileged yamen are not counted at all! Even the officials in official uniforms are minor officials appointed by themselves. They can only manage people in their own territory. They are not the same as serious court officials like the county master. Grade.”
"Oh? Is there another thing to say? Then why are serious officials suppressed by undecent officials?"
"Why? Because they are strong! Besides, how many years have they been here? Our county boss has only been here for a few years? The strong dragon is not a powerful one, and what's more, our county boss is just a slug, not a strong dragon!"
"That's right, it seems so!"
The man nodded with concern, but soon he realized something was wrong: "Huh? Aren't we talking about the government officials? When did it turn to those officials?"
"Well, who knows?" The man who was talking happily blushed slightly and asked tentatively: "How about we follow along and have a look? Maybe we can watch a good show."
The man looked at the mat under the tree and hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind and stood up: "Well... okay! After all, spanking the child on a rainy day is just free time!"
It was obvious that there were many people who had the same idea as the street idlers, because soon, behind this group of government officials, a large group of idle people followed.
As for the government officials, they were not unaware of the changes behind them. However, these "government officials" did not care about the onlookers. They walked straight across the street and when they arrived in front of the Gaofu government office, they were led by a bald man. Stepping forward, he banged the vermilion door hard and started calling loudly.
"Hey! Someone, open the door quickly! Open the door quickly! If you can hide people, but can't open the door? Open the door..."
"Who is it! Disturbing dreams at noon!"
Amidst the man's louder call, the door of Gao Mansion finally swayed, and then someone opened a crack, and an impatient voice also sounded from behind the door.
"County yamen Zhang San! I've been ordered to come here to capture the thief!" The bald man smiled solemnly through the crack in the door, and his two rows of white teeth dangled so that the door was a little confused.
"County government office? Which county government office? That county government office of Fatty Hong? Didn't you come here this morning?" Menzi asked in surprise.
Liu Hongji, who was dressed as Zhang San, smiled ferociously: "In the morning? That was just a routine inquiry in the morning! Now we are here to search to the end on the order of the county master!"
"search?"
Hearing these two words, the door finally reacted. His face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water. He leaned close to the crack of the door and shouted loudly: "Bold! Do you know where this place is? This is..."
The voice stopped suddenly, and as for the rest of the words, the disciple could no longer say it.
Because at this gap, Liu Hongji outside had already kicked the door hard!
Who is Liu Hongji? Sixteen generals! With his martial arts skills, even in the early years of Zhenguan when abnormality was common, he could still be ranked among the top ten. One can imagine how powerful his kick would be!
"Boom!"
The door made of precious wood was kicked open by this kick! What flew up with the door was not only the door bolt as thick as an arm, but also the door's thin body and a few big yellow teeth!
"According to the order of the county magistrate Hong! Search for the thief! Brothers, come on!"
Facing the open door, Liu Hongji didn't even look at the bloody door behind him. He laughed twice, then waved his hands vigorously, and those "yamen servants" who looked like wolves and tigers swarmed up and rushed into the courtyard. In the middle If anyone dares to resist, he will be punched, kicked and beaten to the ground completely.
"A fight started? Is our county magistrate crazy?"
Outside, everyone who was lucky enough to witness this scene looked stunned!
As people from Guangzhou, they have long been accustomed to the cowardly appearance of the county government.
In the past, let alone rushing into the local county government office and beating people, even if they caught a thief, as long as they reported that they had county government backers, they would be respectfully sent away by the county government office immediately!
At the end of the day, I had no choice but to give him some mental compensation. Such a useless yamen suddenly showed off his power today and knocked on other people's doors. What other explanation can there be for this except that the county magistrate is crazy.
