PS: Thanks to book friend He Cheng for promising the reward.
"My lord, something is wrong. Something has happened."
As the sound came, a servant in official uniform was seen rolling and crawling into the Yamen.
Some yamen servants in the yamen stopped the person.
"The thief king is here, take me to see the eldest master quickly." The officer who ran back grabbed the yamen officer who stopped him with his palms and shouted loudly towards the back yamen.
When the officer heard about the thief Wang, he subconsciously let go of the officer he had stopped.
The officer took advantage of the situation and rushed towards the back office in front.
There was a threshold in front of the back office. The guard ran too fast and didn't pay attention. He kicked it and flew out into the back office.
thump!
The dull sound of the landing made the officer feel pain all over his body. He couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, and the bridge of his nose hurt even more.
"You bastard, you don't understand any of the rules. You, a humble white servant, can break into the back office without permission." In the back office, a middle-aged man wearing a long gown scolded with dissatisfaction.
The officer endured the pain and got up. He knelt on the ground and said urgently: "Oh no, sir, the king's thief has led his soldiers into the city and is heading towards the county government office."
"Nonsense. There are guards guarding the city gate. He is just a bandit. What does he use to attack the county? If you dare to talk nonsense in front of the big boss again, I will pull you out and beat you." The middle-aged man scolded.
The officer said with a grimace: "I'm not talking nonsense, it's all true. Detective Zhang Xianzhong is also with those thieves. I saw him kill the officer at the gate of the city with my own eyes."
"The Zhang Xianzhong you are talking about is the policeman who calls him Huang Hu?" the middle-aged man asked.
The guard nodded vigorously.
The middle-aged man turned to look at the Fugu County magistrate who was sitting in his seat and said: "Dong Weng, although Zhang Xianzhong has always been unruly and unpopular with Shangguan, students think it is impossible for him to rebel. What can we say about him?" He is also a police officer in the yamen, so there is no way he would rebel against those Kuhaha."
"You mean there are no thieves attacking the county, and it's all nonsense?" Magistrate Fugu glanced at the officer kneeling on the ground with a gloomy look.
The officer who heard this hurriedly defended himself: "Sir, I didn't lie. If you don't believe me, you can send someone to the city gate to take a look and find out."
What he said was so true that he almost cursed himself.
"The students think that some rioters want to enter the city and cause trouble at the city gate. The government officials who usually guard the city gate always like to raid the people who enter the city. Maybe they raid too hard and cause trouble." A middle-aged man said at the county magistrate's office. Said in the ear.
Magistrate Fugu nodded slightly.
He had long known about the government officials guarding the city gates to search for people entering the city, and had caused trouble more than once, which was eventually calmed down smoothly.
"Sir, it's different this time. It's really thieves who are attacking the city." The officer who was kneeling on the ground was so anxious that he almost cried when he saw that the county magistrate and the master didn't take it seriously.
Magistrate Fugu frowned and scolded with an impatient expression: "Okay, go down, this is the first time I am thinking of you, so I will spare you for now, but I will definitely slap you next time." "
Compared with a white police officer, he believed in his master more, and there had been incidents of chaos and trouble in the past, so he felt that the police officer in front of him was making a fuss out of a molehill.
The officer who was kneeling on the ground saw that his words were not believed by the county magistrate at all. He gritted his teeth, got up from the ground, turned around and left.
The master next to the magistrate looked at the officer leaving and snorted contemptuously.
"Dong Weng, please rest first while the student arranges for a few people to go to the city gate to take a look. Don't let the people below make the matter too big." The master said to the Fugu County Magistrate. valley
The Fugu County Magistrate nodded in approval.
However, not long after he left, there was noisy movement on the street outside the county government office.
Soon, a yamen servant ran into the back yamen. When he saw the magistrate in the room, he shouted in a panic: "The lord is not good, the thief Wang led the thieves to kill outside the yamen."
"Aren't the rioters making trouble at the city gate?" Magistrate Fugu frowned, thinking it was just a small matter caused by a few rioters making trouble.
The yamen servant who came to the yamen said anxiously: "It's not ordinary rioters causing trouble, it's the king's thieves who brought people to the county seat. They are already outside the yamen now. Our people can't hold the county yamen anymore."
Snapped!
The tureen originally held by Magistrate Fugu fell on the table, then rolled to the ground and broke into several pieces. The brewed tea leaves and tea inside flowed to the floor.
"Sir, please come up with an idea quickly!" Seeing that the county magistrate was still in a daze, the yamen servant's tone became urgent.
Magistrate Fugu, who recovered from the fright, asked with trembling lips: "Thief, how many thieves are there?"
"There are at least a hundred people. When Xiao Xiao came here, the Yamen could hardly hold it anymore." The Yamen servant hurriedly told what he knew about the situation.
"Where is the master? Go and find the master quickly." The Fugu County Magistrate was only in panic. He hurriedly wanted to find his master to make a plan for him, but he himself had long since run out of ideas.
He invited the master from the local area.
Ever since he had this master, all he had to do was walk the dog and play with the birds, and the money went into his pocket. The yamen was also kept in order, and there was no need for him to do anything at all.
Everything in the yamen was left to his master. Now that something happened, he subconsciously wanted to find his master.
"Master Huang, wasn't he with the eldest master before? I don't know where he went. Could it be that he heard that the king's thief entered the city and escaped on his own." The yamen servant guessed.
"Escape, escape?" Magistrate Fugu stuttered, "Yes, escape, let's escape too. Quickly protect the master and escape through the back door. No, go back to the backyard first. All the master's money is in the backyard. We must take all the money with us." superior."
He jumped up from his seat and walked out quickly.
The officer hurriedly followed.
The two people walked out of the room one after another.
After taking a few steps, I saw some government officials and servants retreating here.
"You are here just in time. Follow me to the backyard to pack my things. As long as you can protect me and escape to a safe place, I will reward you heavily." Seeing so many government officials appearing in front of him, the Fugu County Magistrate felt that he Someone took the money hidden in the backyard.
"There will be a heavy reward for catching the county magistrate."
Someone shouted loudly from the direction of the lobby.
The sound of the voice caused many government officials and servants around to fix their eyes on Magistrate Fugu.
"What are you going to do? I am an official of the imperial court. If you really want to catch me for the thieves, why don't you confiscate your home and exterminate your clan?" Magistrate Fugu felt the malicious eyes around him and cursed loudly and angrily.
However, his threats did not have much effect. Instead, several government officials came closer to him step by step.
The shocked Fugu County Magistrate retreated repeatedly.
