"problem occurs!"
Just when the people lying on the top of the city were looking at each other, no one knew what had happened, someone suddenly ran over from the bottom of the city, patted their thighs, and shouted urgently to the households on the city: "Something big has happened." ! The county magistrate wants to give the refugees plots in the new city!"
"ah???"
This sentence was like pouring a ladle of water into a boiling oil pan, and it instantly exploded among the residents of the old city!
"Give land to the refugees! Why didn't you call us?"
"This is our Ningcheng. Why, if we build a new city, it has nothing to do with us?"
"Let's go! Find them!"
People are all selfish, especially people in small towns!
Don't look at it some time ago, they were friendly to the refugees outside, asked about their welfare, and even cooked meals themselves and delivered them to the fields.
But that is only based on the premise that the other party does not encroach on your own interests, and even helps you create interests!
Now, when I heard that my county magistrate was going to give the houses in the new city to the refugees, he also deliberately did not call me and did it secretly!
In the eyes of the indigenous people, isn't this just a typical elbow turned outward?
This is really unbearable, uncle can’t bear it! My uncle can't bear it, but my aunt can't bear it either!
So, after the initial shock and anger, no one knew who shouted, "Go find them!"
Countless residents of the old city immediately gathered together and rushed toward the new city with great force!
The new city, said to be a new city, is actually just a huge open space surrounded by city walls until now.
Moreover, because it was originally built directly on the old city wall, from the old city to the new city, you still need to pass through a city gate, which was the original west gate of Ningcheng.
When the mighty army of civilians rushed along the road to the west city gate, they saw that the city gate was closed! Several government officials were leaning lazily beside the city gate, holding wind and fire sticks.
In the middle of the yamen, the county magistrate was sitting on a chair, holding a small teapot in his hand, leisurely sipping the tea from the teapot.
"County...county magistrate?"
The people in the city who were still angry at first shrank when they saw this scene. They looked at each other, hesitating and not daring to come forward.
Speaking of which, compared to the county magistrate, who is always kind and kind, these people are actually more afraid of the county magistrate in front of them.
Without him, it's just because the county magistrate's responsibility is to be responsible for the torture and public security in the city, so on weekdays, it is this second-in-command who gives the orders when the yamen arrest people.
After doing this for a long time, he naturally developed a kind of evil spirit, and the people respected him. Some even suffered losses under his hands, and secretly gave the county magistrate a "living king of hell". Humiliation.
"What's wrong, so many people?"
Slowly putting down the teapot beside his mouth, the county magistrate squinted his eyes and glanced outward, immediately causing the group of people walking in front to subconsciously take a step back!
"snort!"
Perhaps he was very satisfied with his deterrence. Without waiting for the people to reply, the county magistrate stood up from the chair, patted the non-existent dust on his hands, and continued to say in a cold voice: "What do you want to do when you gather so many people?" ?You also want to rebel?!"
"Ah? Lord County Magistrate, you are wronged! Common people dare not!"
Hearing these threatening words, several elderly people in the crowd could no longer stay still. They hurriedly pushed away the crowd, stepped forward, bowed and clasped their fists, saying: "How dare you commoners rebel? It's just, only……"
"I just heard that people over there are dividing houses and land, and you can't help it? Do you want to make trouble?"
After seeing the old men for only a long time and not saying anything, the county magistrate sneered and took over the conversation, but the coldness in his words could be felt even by a deaf person.
"this……"
The people who took the lead blushed when their thoughts were exposed. They glanced at each other secretly, hesitating and not knowing what to say now.
"What the hell!"
Unexpectedly, at this time, Xian Cheng, who had been acting very calmly, suddenly changed his expression, and then slammed the teapot to the ground!
In an instant, the red clay teapot was smashed to pieces! The tea inside also splashed out, mixed with the soil on the ground, and splashed onto the trouser legs of the people around him.
"ah……"
Low exclamations rang out, and the common people looked at the shattered teapot, and their calves began to tremble involuntarily!
Since ancient times, people have not fought with officials! As soon as the young man met the official, he felt half a head shorter, not to mention that the other person was the county magistrate with a notorious reputation.
"Look at how you look!"
Just when the people were shrinking their necks and wondering whether to sneak away, the county magistrate spoke again!
I just heard him shouting angrily in a tone of hatred: "What does the allocation of land in the new city have to do with you! Did you lay the foundation, or did you build the city wall? Everyone wants to take advantage when they see an advantage, and they want to curse when they can't take it." mother!
Don’t say that the new city was built with the money and efforts of Mr. Xiao Hou from Chang’an. Even if it was built by our county magistrate, what does it have to do with you! Give it to whomever you like, and let whomever you like live in it! Why should I accommodate you? Who are you? ! "
"us……"
The common people who had previously thought that turning their elbows away from their own county magistrate had the advantage of not thinking about their own people first were stunned when they were shouted at and scolded so unceremoniously by the county magistrate.
Yes, what does Xincheng have to do with me?
When a new city was being built, what else did I do besides watch the excitement? Oh, some people may even do business and make some money.
But after it was built, why did I think that I should have a share of it as a matter of course? The county master is not his father, so why should he divide the family property to himself?
Thinking of this, countless people drooped their heads, and their faces began to get hot.
To put it bluntly, these people are not unreasonable.
Just now, they suddenly heard that the county magistrate was issuing land, and it was not their own share. Then they felt it was unfair in their hearts, and they came over to ask for an explanation.
Now, having been poured a basin of cold water on me by the county magistrate, my feverish brain has already cooled down. When I think carefully about what happened, I realize that I was indeed the unreasonable party.
"Humph!" Seeing the people slurping and retreating, the county magistrate's cold face finally softened a little!
"Damn it! Seeing how useless you are, I'm going to be angry! The county magistrate, who is in trouble, argued with the Marquis today to help you leave a piece of land in the best area. If I had known, I should have given you an inch You can’t even get the land!”
"ah!!!"
As soon as the county magistrate said these words, everyone was stunned! The scene was silent for three seconds before someone reacted. They looked up and stared at the county magistrate in disbelief:
"Sir, you...what did you just say? The county magistrate, he helped us to get the land?"
