Xu Yunyan revealed his identity. This was an official position that was more difficult for him than the county magistrate or even the governor of Tongguan.
A fourth-grade loyal general. While the county magistrate was trembling, the group of government servants were even more stunned.
Wait, what did this boy say he did? General Zhongwu?
Although they don't know much about the ranks of the generals in the court, those with the title of general must be in the fifth rank or higher, right?
How old is he? What are we doing at this age? It’s true that the more we live, the more we regress.
Everyone couldn't help but feel shocked. Although the young Magistrate Hu has already cracked down on them.
Originally, they thought it was great that this guy could be a captain of the same rank as their county magistrate, but now the result surprised them. He was much older than the county magistrate.
When the people eating melons outside the door heard Xu Yunyan say that he was a loyal general, they immediately had different expressions. Some were celebrating that they finally met Master Qingtian who could deal with this lawless magistrate of Hu County, while some were celebrating. People were also trembling with fear there.
I originally thought that someone who was about the same level as the county magistrate would have to look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, so as to save some face so that we could meet each other later.
But now that such a fourth-grade general suddenly appears, who the county magistrate cannot afford to offend, isn't this a big trouble?
And just when these people were behaving in various ways here, Liu Xiaopeng quickly came from the back office to the front hall, holding a book in his hand.
Liu Xiaopeng just came in and reported to Xu Yunyan there at the top of his lungs.
"General! Found it. This is evidence that Hu County Magistrate Hu Lai has done many evil things."
After Liu Xiaopeng said this, Xu Yunyan burst into laughter.
"Wait, what did you just say? The magistrate of Hu County is called Hu Lai?"
"yes."
Liu Xiaopeng looked surprised, but the actual situation was like this. Looking at Xu Yunyan, Xu Yunyan was even more unexpected here.
Seeing this incriminating evidence that he had hidden in his study and found by them easily, Magistrate Hu turned pale in an instant. He couldn't sit still in his chair and slid directly under the table.
Fortunately, the office table is big enough, and it can be rolled from under the table to the front.
This funny scene, but no one at the scene dared to laugh at him. The county magistrate was so embarrassed. They always took detours under the magistrate's hands, whether they did not intend to do so or were forced to do so. You must pay a corresponding price for what you have done.
Seeing Magistrate Hu lying on the ground, Xu Yunyan ignored him, stepped forward, took the book from Liu Xiaopeng's hand, and started to flip through it.
You won’t know if you don’t read it, but you will be shocked if you read it.
"Hey, Magistrate Hu! I didn't expect you to remember it in such detail, come here!"
As Xu Yunyan finished speaking, the sound of armor scraping sounded from outside the county government office.
Group after group of Tang troops wearing luxurious armor rushed in from outside the county government office and stood in the county government office waiting for Xu Yunyan's instructions.
Xu Yunyan glanced at them and handed the text in his hand to the back.
"Follow what is written here and find out for me all the money that the county magistrate has secretly hidden."
After Xu Yunyan finished speaking, the soldiers hurriedly clasped their fists in response, and then several people gathered together and looked at the books in front of them.
This person looked at this page and that person looked at that page. He quickly memorized this thing clearly. After a leader handed the evidence to Xu Yunyan with both hands, he quickly exited the lobby and went to look for the evidence hidden by the county magistrate. Those gold and silver jewelry.
As these Tang troops were dispatched, some people who were eating melons outside the county government office were also curious to follow them to find the money hidden by the county magistrate and see how much he had hidden.
As for the county magistrate, he was already twisting and turning like an epilepsy, and he was about to die.
Seeing this scene, Xu Yunyan hurriedly stepped forward and pinched his man.
But perhaps in order to stimulate the county magistrate, Xu Yunyan stood and said.
"What's wrong with County Magistrate Hu? You can't stand it anymore. Since you know what you have done, you may be sorry for your majesty and the people of the Tang Dynasty. Why don't you want to be a good official?"
When Xu Yunyan said this, Magistrate Hu woke up, but he was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder burst. Although he was saved from being pinched, he still couldn't speak clearly and was trembling. He didn't know what to do there. explain.
Just when Magistrate Hu was afraid of witnesses coming forward to correct him, afraid that the money would be found, and afraid that Xu Yunyan would settle accounts later, another voice sounded outside the main hall.
As soon as the beautiful figure stumbled from the backyard to the front hall, she was officially the wife of County Magistrate Hu. When he saw Magistrate Hu's wife running over, Liu Xiaopeng was surprised. He turned around and saw the few people behind him who had arranged for him to look at them. The people looked at each other.
But Liu Xiaopeng still twitched the corner of his mouth.
Judging from the mouth shape, he said "Trash!"
After Mrs. Hu ran to the county government office, she held a hairpin in her hair and put it against her white neck. She looked at her husband while talking.
"Husband, why do you do such a thing? Didn't we agree to do our duty? How could you do such a ridiculous thing?"
When Mrs. Hu was talking like this, Xu Yunyan, Liu Xiaopeng and others finally knew that Mrs. Hu was being controlled and could still run here.
They are not robbers who rob homes, how could they restrict their freedom? Especially in this situation where Mrs. Hu is holding a hairpin to threaten her with death. And Magistrate Hu looked at his wife running over, still looking the same, and even more so, stammering, not knowing what to say.
"Madam...this...that..."
And when Mrs. Hu saw that her husband, who was originally an honest and courteous person, actually became like this after becoming the county magistrate, she kept regretting it.
"Husband, what happened to us? How did we become like this? Didn't you always say it doesn't matter? Will everything be fine?"
After Mrs. Hu asked this question, Magistrate Hu still said nothing. He doesn't have any courage, tone, or strength to give any explanation now.
Just after Mrs. Hu finished speaking, two lines of tears flowed down his face.
"Husband, can't you explain it?"
Looking at her husband, she still didn't explain here. Instead, he lowered his head and sighed. Mrs. Hu didn't know what she was thinking, but she suddenly made a move.
"Husband, since you are so stubborn, then since my wife has no way to dissuade you, I can only threaten you with death. Please stop, husband."
After Mrs. Hu said these words, the hairpin in her hand was stabbed directly on her neck.
In an instant, a blood arrow flew out.
As Mrs. Hu commits suicide, Magistrate Hu finally becomes a little tougher. He doesn't know where he got the strength from, and rushes forward with a roar.
"My lady, what's wrong with you? Don't be so stupid. I promise you that I will never do such a thing again in the future."
Mrs. Hu was struggling there. She might be about to take her last breath. Seeing that her husband had finally promised not to do such crazy things in the future, Mrs. Hu smiled and stretched out a hand to try again when Hu Lailai came. She touched her husband's face once, but before she knew it, her hand fell weakly to the ground.
This is not because Xu Yunyan didn't save her, but even if Xu Yunyan did, he couldn't save her. He pierced the aorta and trachea and had difficulty breathing, and spit out some bloody foam from the corner of his mouth. How to save her?
With Mrs. Hu leaving, the group of government officials here were even more surprised and didn't know what to say.
At this time, another woman rushed in from behind. After the woman rushed in, she looked at Mrs. Hu, who was lying on the ground in the arms of the magistrate, with blood stains flowing far away, and shouted.
"Miss, miss, what's wrong with you?"
After Xiaocui finished speaking, she stared at the group of government officials fiercely.
"You! You actually forced me and my lady like this, I won't let you go, just wait. Even if my uncle really did something wrong?
But the young lady is innocent. You are forcing her to death like this. The young lady’s father is an ordinary person, but will the young lady’s uncle let you go? Don't you know that the young lady's uncle is a high official? "
