Magistrate Liu, whose real name is Liu Bian, but the people of Yixian County like to call him Liu Sanbian, which reflects his cautious and humble character. Liu Sanbian is a typical traditional Chinese literati, but he did not imitate the spirit of Wen Tianxiang and Lin Zexu who were not afraid of being shattered into pieces, but he inherited all the weaknesses in the character of Chinese literati.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, he protects his own safety and does not take advantage of the bastard. He has learned a lot about this dark little thought. Do you think he is an upright official? That's right, a person who can reduce the fire consumption of a county by three points is really considered an upright official among the officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
But this honest official turned a blind eye to all the nonsense done by Mr. Lian, and of course he did not dare to interfere. In addition, the plaintiff eats the defendant after the lawsuit, accepts bribes from businessmen in private, and even does some business in partnership. Even when there were vacancies in the county administrative agencies, he filled up a hundred people.
This is a typical gray official. He finds it difficult to be an upright official, and is afraid of being a corrupt official. In the end, he can only become a gray official who makes his life more comfortable. The crime of beheading was not enough, and Qingshi did not expect to leave a name. He could only live for a day or two. Anyway, his hometown had more and more fields, and his concubine also married a third wife, and all his relatives benefited from it.
In fact, people like Liu Sanbian were the absolute mainstream among the officials of the Qing Dynasty. Lian Erye and the others liked to deal with this kind of local officials the most, and the rulers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were also extremely relieved of such officials. They were the kind of officials who could Absolutely safe to use. So over the years, Liu Sanbian's life has been really smooth and prosperous.
But everything changed today. After listening to Xiao Letian's aggressive words, he felt as if he had seen a ghost while walking at night, with cold sweat falling from his forehead. Update as soon as possible
"Liu Sanbian, I really didn't expect that your kid actually collaborated with bandits? And the person he had the affair with was Changmao from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom! Look, isn't this a private letter written by Changmao to you? I read it from your study It's really not easy to find out, not easy..." Xiao Letian held the Qianlong pastel tureen, sniffing the aroma of the top-grade Longjing inside, and looked at Liu Sanbian's frightened face. He smiled proudly, Smirk proudly.
"Framed... This is framed..." Liu Sanbian's hands started to shake, but before he could shout loudly, Xiao Hexin's left hand flashed with cold light and a dagger with a light blue blade pressed against his. "My lord, this is enough snake venom. If you dare to shout even half a sound, I will send you back to the west..."
At this time, another of Xiao Letian's soldiers, Wang Huaiyuan, also took action. His eagle claw skills were as fast as lightning and locked the shoulder blades of the catcher Wang Hu. "Don't cause trouble for you adults. Just stay seated..."
Xiao Letian had made his identity clear. The letter he sent to Magistrate Liu was written by Shi Dakai himself. It expressed his extreme gratitude to Magistrate Liu for sponsoring the cause of the Taiping Rebellion, and even had Shi Dakai's private seal stamped on it. Not only that, the copywriter on the copycat also professionally made an old letter, making it look like the letter he wrote three or four years ago.
Xiao Letian looked at Liu Sanbian with a sneer. He had already figured out this guy's character. He was cowardly and incompetent and would only hide under the tiger skin of thousands of years of feudal bureaucratic culture to scare the people. Once he encountered someone whose life was at stake, Things would scare him to the point of peeing.
"Xiao...Xiao...Mr. Xiao! What do you mean? I have never had such a letter before..." Liu Sanbian almost cried. There were only five people in the inner hall now, Xiao Letian and his two masters. , himself and Wang Hu, who was also controlled, and he saw Xiao Letian playing with his Colt revolver, as if it was going to be put on his head in the next second. Update as soon as possible
Xiao Letian looked at Liu Sanbian with a smirk on his face, "What do you mean, Lord County Magistrate? Didn't you hide this letter in your study? It's in your set of Song Dynasty Analects. Why are you so forgetful?" ?I know the county magistrate will definitely not admit it, and you will defend yourself desperately, but think about it, if I send this letter to the capital and entrust the relationship to the prince... Do you think they will believe it? ?”
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. Anyway, your presence during this big holiday is enough to annoy the Emperor and the Queen Mother. Maybe even the Long Live Lord will miss a bowl of rice..."
Just as Xiao Letian was talking, the coffee table in front of him began to shake violently, and the tea bowl placed in front of Liu Sanbian was shaking desperately, clicking, clicking, clicking...
Suddenly Liu Sanbian seemed to have figured it out and said with tears in his eyes, "Mr. Xiao, if you can defeat the second master Lian, you are already someone I dare not offend. What do you want? I am a seventh-grade county magistrate." , I am humble and have low authority, so there is not much I can do to help you. Please be noble and put your hands on the next horse. I am convinced, I am really convinced..."
Xiao Letian winked at Xiao Hexin, and finally took away the dagger. "Why did Master Liu say this? Brother, I came here today to give you a rich set. Why do you think I will be disadvantageous to you?" Xiao Letian straightened the tea bowl with a smile.
The bet was right, it really was a right bet. Although Xiao Letian looked determined on the surface, in fact, he had been beating the drum in his heart from the beginning. This strategy against Liu Sanbian was not just a whim, it was the first starting point for Xiao Letian's huge plan.
Thanks to He Shen, and to the film and television media that were so developed in his previous life. It was their inspiration that made Xiao Letian think of a path that could no longer be evil. In a well-known film and television drama, a huge corrupt man once said to an honest official, "In history, honest officials are as rare as a feather, and corrupt officials are as numerous as the sand of the Yellow River. If I don't use corrupt officials, who else should I use?"
Many problems that are unsolvable in the eyes of Shi Dakai and his Shanzhai brothers are actually nothing in the eyes of those who are familiar with Chinese official culture, or those who understand feudal bureaucratic culture.
There are two official Chinese characters, as long as you have the method, you can talk however you want them to. In this era without video recording or mobile phone bugs, officials could deceive the court and coax the people with their words. They were the media at that time.
Xiao Letian nodded, Xiao Hexin quickly took out a small sandalwood box from his arms, and opened it in front of Magistrate Liu. A faint light of treasure came to his face, and Liu Sanbian's eyes widened. He has a net worth of hundreds of thousands, but he has never seen such a perfect box of Dongzhu. Update as soon as possible
The so-called Dongzhu is actually a type of pearl. It is a high-quality pearl produced in the Heilongjiang River Basin. Because it is produced in the Northeast, it was even loved by the Manchu nobles. Due to the admiration of the imperial power, dongzhu was simply a symbol of power in the Qing Dynasty. Only high-ranking nobles were qualified to inlaid dongzhu on their hats or court beads.
In front of Liu Sanbian, there were more than a hundred round pearls. According to the lowest estimate, these treasures were worth twenty thousand taels of silver.
"Mr. Xiao? What do you mean..."
"It's nothing interesting. It's just a little gift for Magistrate Liu..." Xiao Letian could clearly see that Liu Sanbian and Wang Hu's throats were rolling, which was because they were swallowing saliva.
"Brother, I love making friends the most. Don't they say that friends have a financial relationship? To be honest, I can't get this thing at all. If Brother Liu doesn't dislike it, goods of the same value will be delivered every quarter in the future. In front of you..." Xiao Letian, like a devil who tricks people into committing crimes, pried open Liu Sanbian's psychological defense line bit by bit.
"Brother, I'm not joking. If you say you have it, you will get it. Not only that, the same amount of property will be distributed to the people under you, the county magistrate, the chief registrar, the historian, the inspector... all the brothers under you, everyone will There is a heart, and it is given every month, it will only increase and not decrease..."
"Come on, brother Liu, as long as you sign this letter and write that you have read it, everything will be fine... What! You don't want to write it? Hey, I heard that the three people in your hometown Your son is extremely smart. He is known as your thousand-mile horse. You must be careful and don’t let the carriage touch you when you go out..."
"Hahaha, is this right... You sign here, yes, yes, yes, you press your fingerprint again... Beautiful, your fingerprint is so beautiful, thank you very much, I will keep this calligraphy letter... …”
"Oh, and also, I heard that you have an outhouse in the north of the city..."
Wang Huaiyuan and Xiao Hexin looked at each other. They didn't expect that the military advisor had such a hand. He kneaded Liu San like dough with one soft hand and the other hard. At the beginning, Magistrate Liu had some thoughts of obeying his authority and informing the Qing Dynasty later. However, when he heard that his illegitimate daughter and the affairs of his foreign wife had been grasped by others, he was completely paralyzed. On the chair, like mud. Please come to more and faster chapters.
Liu Sanbian watched the forged letter being stuffed into Xiao Letian's arms. He felt that his life had also been taken away by Xiao Letian. Thinking back to Xiao Letian's threats, and then looking at the two martial arts masters behind him, Liu Sanbian Sanbian knew that the done deal was now irreversible.
But when he looked at Dongzhu on the table and thought about the promise Xiao Letian made to him, his heart that had just cooled down became warm again. Maybe there might be some unexpected benefits from following this Japanese devil.
At this moment, Xiao Letian's eyes finally fell on Wang Hu, but this time there was no teasing, only cold murderous intent. Wang Hu came from a martial arts background and was naturally alert to danger. When Xiao Letian's eyes fell on him, the Bagua Knife master suddenly used his strength to break free from Wang Huaiyuan's control, stood up and knelt down on the ground. .
"Mr. Xiao, please give me a chance. I am really helpless about the fat shopkeeper. I really want to let him live. During the fight, I had a relationship with him more than once. I really I want to let him live...live me first, please live me first..."
After saying that, he banged his bare forehead against the floor tiles, and the banging sound echoed in the room. People like Wang Hu are full of the wisdom of the lower class people in China, and their eyesight is even better than those of scholars. As soon as Xiao Letian came up with the method to convince the county magistrate, he had already guessed the result.
Xiao Letian wanted to take over a county's officials for his own use, and Wang Hu had just forced the fat shopkeeper to death last night, how could Xiao Letian let him go. He can be considered a man if he can bend and stretch, but he is shameless in order to survive.
It wasn't until Wang Hu's forehead started bleeding that Xiao Letian groaned, "You are smart and know how to repent. If you hadn't had a kind thought in your heart last night, your whole family would have been gone by now. You You said that your blind old lady has suffered all her life for you, will she still suffer because of you when she is old? It is really unfilial..."
Wuchang pointed at the Taishi chair with his finger, "Want to save the lives of the whole family? Want to board my boat to eat meat? Do you know how big my wealth is? It's so big that you, Magistrate Liu, would laugh in your dreams, let alone you. But it’s not that simple to get my forgiveness. It depends on whether you are brave enough or not..."
After saying this, Wang Hu, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly straightened his back, and the blood on his forehead flowed down from the corners of his eyes. "Mr. Xiao, don't worry, I, Wang Hu, am also a man who has been around in the green forest. I don't have a problem with whatever you want me to do... or else I'm going to kill Lian Er's old coffin tonight?"
Xiao Letian was happy when he heard it, okay! This king tiger seems to be really worth cultivating.
