Zhang Captou couldn't help but shudder when he saw the yamen servants from Hu County's yamen gathering in a hurry.
You've hit a brick wall, why don't you come over and deliver them one after another?
Don’t you think they have no leverage on their side?
Just after all the government officials in Hu County gathered together, there were finally a few eyes that were not for show. They saw the arrester and other government officials gathered together. Their armor was obviously better than that of the Hu County defenders and the government soldiers. The sugar army, which was much more sophisticated, couldn't help but be confused.
"Who is this person? Why is he wearing such gorgeous armor? Keep in mind that hiding armor privately is a serious crime of treason."
One of the yamen servants said this, which finally made the other yamen servants notice the scene in front of them, and couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
"What's going on? Why are there such elite Tang troops here?"
And when the head catcher saw that all his guys were here, even though he had given himself enough face, he was still there with a smile on his face and trembling in his calves.
"This young master, no, this general, we are the ones who have blinded ourselves and bumped into this general. I hope the general will show his respect."
This did not surprise the government officials in front of them.
Xu Yunyan smiled here and said, "Hey, don't you think I'm fake now?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, it's just the little ghost who has lost his mind. How can he think that the adults are fake?"
And as the arrester apologized here, he hurriedly shouted to the group of government officials who came over.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and meet my lord? This is a bigger official than our county magistrate."
As he said this, these government officials were instantly surprised. They hurriedly threw the eyebrow-leveling sticks and other things they were holding to the side to please Xu Yunyan.
Seeing their faces, Xu Yunyan touched his chin and said, "You two, please tell me what happened."
When Xu Yunyan started asking questions, Zhang Baotou, the leader of the yamen, was a little confused.
"Sir, I wonder what you want to know?"
Looking at the hesitant government servant here, before Xu Yunyan said anything, Zhang Hong and Zhang Xin stepped forward and kicked him.
"Bold, you just kept saying that my family is a lie, and now you are saying that I don't know what's going on, and what's going on with your county government's summons? You still need money, why don't I remember it? Is there such a rule in the county government?"
Zhang Hong, Zhang Xin are here to provoke the county government arrester Zhang who was so domineering just now, and this arrester wants to slap him in the face.
Seeing that these people just didn't intend to let him go, they were talking about the summons that had always been done in this county government.
Seeing Xu Yunyan's face getting increasingly ugly, the Yamen officer didn't know what he was thinking, and knelt down in front of Xu Yunyan with a plop.
"My lord, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me. I am also obsessed with this. It was arranged by the county magistrate. If I don't do this, if I don't get the money and can't pay it to the county magistrate, I won't be able to stay and work in this county government." Yeah. How are my family doing?"
The head catcher was talking so quietly while pointing at the government officials behind him and talking about them.
"Sir, they are all asked to do this by the county magistrate, ask him! Niu Laoer, tell me, tell me about you, aren't you also asked by the county magistrate to collect protection fees every day, and then take out the money? A large part of it will be given to the magistrate?"
After Zhang Captou finished speaking, the man named Niu Laoer who was pointed at by Zhang Captou also knelt down all of a sudden.
"My lord, have mercy on me, my lord, have mercy on me. I am an ordinary farmer. I don't dare to do such nonsense! It's just that the county magistrate has to ask us to collect money. If we don't collect it, we will get into trouble. In order to support our family, we have to You do such a thing without conscience."
This Niu Laoer was also here to confirm the words of the head arrester, but before Xu Yunyan could express any emotion, several more government officials knelt on the ground.
"Sir, spare your life, we don't want to do that either. We also want to be famous for generations. Even if it cannot be passed down through the ages, we cannot be scolded by our hometown people.
Unexpectedly, here comes the county magistrate. Although he looks like a handsome young man, he is ruthless and ruthless. He has to charge a part of the money for everything. As long as he goes to the county government office to report the crime, he will ask for a share of money before he arranges for someone to take action. And in the county Those who are being challenged in the government office need money. If you don't take money, you will never be given good fruits. "
Hearing them say this, Xu Yunyan sneered.
"Interesting, you have picked off yourselves completely now, but when you are confronting your county magistrate, do you still dare to say this?"
Just after Xu Yunyan finished speaking, the government officials nodded.
"As long as you can forgive me, sir, we dare say that's the case. Is there anything we dare not say?
What's more, in the beginning, we also worked hard in this county government, and many folks in the countryside knew about it. "
When these government officials said this, Xu Yunyan nodded.
"Okay, since you said so, I believe you this time!
Come, take them with us to the county government office. "
Just as he was about to go to the county government office, Xu Yunyan suddenly stopped moving forward. This made the two brothers Zhang Hong and Zhang Xin who were accompanying him a little confused, so they hurriedly stepped forward.
"General, what other plans do you have?"
Xu Yunyan nodded, "Yes, there must be an arrangement. We have taken away all the patrolling government officials in the county. Going to the county government to argue with the county magistrate can't cause chaos in the county."
Please arrange for people to patrol the county town for me. In troubled times, heavy regulations should be used. Although it is a peaceful time, there can't be any Xiaoxiao who comes out to cause trouble when the yamen officer is not around.
If something like this happens, let me ask you a question. "
What Xu Yunyan said was very harsh. Brothers Zhang Hong and Zhang Xin also knew the priority of the matter and hurriedly defended their fists.
"Don't worry, General. We were not born into this official position. We have to follow you and rise step by step."
Xu Yunyan touched his chin, "You don't need to flatter me. When I take over your army, you will be the brigade commander. Is there any other situation?"
According to what I said, as long as you do a good job, I will not hesitate to reward you. Only then can you say that you can follow me and rise step by step. "
Xu Yunyan said this, and the two brothers Zhang Hong and Zhang Xin didn't feel embarrassed at all, nor did they have any intention of flattering the horse's legs. Instead, they nodded.
Leaving Zhang Hong here to accompany Xu Yunyan, Zhang Xin hurriedly ran out with a soldier, speaking to the group of people as he ran.
"Hurry up and gather your people. You have more people than this yamen servant. If I can't do this well, I, the brigade commander, will be insecure. But before that, I can pick off your team first." ."
The team surnamed Zhai did not expect that their brigade commander would shirk his mission in this way, but Xu Yunyan did not express any emotion about this, but instead laughed.
This smile was a bit weird, and no one knew what it meant. After letting Zhang Xin and his team leave quickly, Zhang Hong led his soldiers and horses to press these government officials and walked towards the Hu County County Government Office. .
Before Zhang Hong and his people arrived at the county government office, many servants and friends of powerful people among the people who had just eaten melons had discovered such a scene and secretly thought that something was wrong.
"I have to go back and deliver the news as soon as possible, but I can't let the county magistrate involve our family. Although the county magistrate really has some unclear relationship with our family."
While many people were acting at the same time, Hu Fulan and his maid Xiao Cui, who had returned to the county government office, were unhappy in the room.
Magistrate Hu, who did not go to the county government office to sit in court, especially because no one came to file a lawsuit, was strolling leisurely in the backyard when he saw his unhappy wife, who was sulking in the room, walking in.
"Madam, what's going on? Who made you unhappy? Are you so depressed?"
When Magistrate Hu said this, his wife turned away, which surprised Magistrate Hu.
"What's going on, madam? Tell me more, why are you so arrogant with your husband again?"
