Jinjiang City, Quanzhou Government Office.
Lin Feng, the class leader, led a group of government officials to block the entrance. Looking at Gu Zhengchen who was approaching, Lin Feng felt chilled all over, and had to step forward. He smiled unnaturally and shouted: "Prefect Gu."
Gu Zhengchen stopped and looked at Lin Feng coldly: "Why, you want to block my way?"
Lin Feng felt sweat on his forehead and said quickly: "How dare you, these people are not from the government office. If we let them in, will there be trouble?"
Gu Zhengchen looked sideways at Qin Song and others behind him, and said to Lin Feng: "You mean them? These are the people in the kitchen. They kill fish, cook dishes, light fires, wash dishes, and clean up garbage. It still takes a lot of time." A servant."
"Stove room?"
Lin Feng has a big head. How big is your kitchen? Do you need six people to serve it?
Gu Zhengchen took a step forward.
Lin Feng stretched out his hand to stop him, but felt it was inappropriate and took his hand back: "Prefect Gu, don't make it difficult for us."
Gu Zhengchen stared, lowered his head and said to Xiao Cheng: "Throw him out!"
Xiao Cheng grinned, strode forward, grabbed Lin Feng's lapel, and shouted loudly. Lin Feng was lifted off the ground. Xiao Cheng stretched out his left hand and lifted Lin Feng horizontally.
Lin Feng felt like he was going crazy and shouted quickly: "Wang Tudui, Dahe, do it, do it..."
Suddenly, Lin Feng felt like he was flying up. The wind seemed to hit his face directly. The feeling of falling almost made him faint. He landed heavily on the grain truck, overturned the grain truck, and rolled down.
If it hadn't been blocked by the grain bag and landed directly on the bluestone, it would probably have killed half of his life. Even so, Lin Feng blinked and fainted decisively.
I can't help but faint. Magistrate Gu is getting angry again. I'm afraid there will be a big change in the government office today. Even Qin Tongzhi cannot say that he is not the one who has been injured even though he has done his duty well.
Gu Zhengchen looked at the government servants who were afraid to retreat, and said in a deep voice: "I am the prefect of Quanzhou, and everyone in the government respects me. You are just a handyman, and you dare to stop me? The following offenders should use their tactics to resist the imperial court. If you go against the rules, shoot without mercy!"
A murderous aura moved with the wind, and all the government officials were trembling with fear. They quickly got out of the way and lowered their heads without even daring to take a look. In the past, the government office was just a slap in the face, but if someone was convicted of treason, it would be a beheading.
Gu Zhengchen raised his foot and entered the gate of the government office, followed closely by Zhang Pei, Xiao Cheng, Qin Song and others.
Qin Xin led a group of officials to stand outside the lobby. He looked at Gu Zhengchen who was walking towards him step by step. His face was ashen and he shouted sternly: "Prefect Gu, what are you doing?"
Gu Zhengchen's face was cold and stern, he walked non-stop, walked to Qin Xin, raised his hand and pushed Qin Xin away: "Qin Tongzhi, you are blocking my way."
Qin Xin looked at Gu Zhengchen who walked into the lobby, his expression changed, and he shouted: "How can you show off your prestige without the seal of the prefect! The official in the government office has the final say, come here, the prefect Gu beat the handyman, and he is helpless." Ji, catch me!"
Canglang——
The knife comes out and the edge flashes.
Zhang Pei and Xiao Cheng were standing at the entrance to the lobby, holding wild goose feather knives.
Xiao Cheng stared at the officials and government servants, and sneered: "Whoever wants to touch Magistrate Gu, it is best to take away my knife first, otherwise, if this knife has no eyes, Xiao will not be responsible for whoever is killed."
Qin Xin pointed at Xiao Cheng, his hands trembling: "This is the government office, how dare you be so bold! Gu Zhengchen, do you still want to rebel?"
Gu Zhengchen entered the lobby, sat on the chair due north, picked up the gavel, slapped it hard, and shouted: "Come here, ascend to the hall!"
Qin Song and Mei Hong acted as yamen servants, walked into the lobby, and divided into two groups.
Zhao Sanqi, who was driven to become a groom, saw Gu Zhengchen coming back and had no time to change his clothes. He saw that there was a water and fire stick that no one was using, so he took it and walked into the lobby to stand aside.
When the other government officials saw this, they looked at each other, a little at a loss.
If he doesn't go, will Magistrate Gu use this as an excuse to kill people? If he went, wouldn't it mean that he didn't take the acting magistrate Qin Tongzhi seriously?
The scribe Wang Meng shook his head and walked towards the lobby.
Qin Xin shouted sternly: "Wang Meng, if you dare to go, I will not spare you!"
Wang Meng stopped, looked back at Qin Xin, and said firmly: "Prefect Gu is ascending to the throne. As a scribe, why can't I be in the lobby? If Qin Tongzhi thinks it's inappropriate, he should go to the lobby to pull Magistrate Gu away." Come down, I won’t be able to say a word, and I won’t be in a dilemma.”
Qin Xin gritted his teeth, damn Wang Meng!
Wang Meng turned around and entered the lobby. Xu Lan, Lin Wei, Wei Jingzhi, Huang Fei and others who were originally recruited by Gu Zhengchen naturally followed in. The other officials and government officials remembered Gu Zhengchen's past strength and thought about it. With the problem of pain and head pain, they finally chose to compromise and walked into the lobby one after another.
Qin Xin never imagined that he was the one holding the prefect's seal and the one who really controlled the prefect's yamen. Why would these people not listen to him, but instead listen to a person without a seal and no power!
I originally thought that my control over the government office was as solid as steel, and that I was my own people inside and outside, but in the end I found that everything was so pitiful that it made people laugh!
Solidity is just the result of self-esteem.
Gu Zhengchen just sat there and slapped the gavel, and he became the prefect who could not be provoked!
Wu Kang hurriedly walked out of the second hall and was shocked to see Gu Zhengchen sitting in the lobby of the government office.
"mighty!"
The yamen servant started to move, and the water and fire sticks hit the ground, making a thumping sound.
Gu Zhengchen glanced at Wu Kang and moved the corner of his mouth slightly: "Wu Tongzhi, some time ago the Japanese official issued an order to send you a hook and put you in jail. But when Gao Shenzheng came, he accepted the seal of the prefect. Later, Gao Shenzheng and Qin Tongzhi Under the operation of the government, you became an innocent person and sat in the lobby openly. Today, I have put you in jail, but there is no Gao Shenzheng to speak again, right?"
Wu Kang was shocked and couldn't believe it. Seeing that Gu Zhengchen was serious, he shouted eagerly: "Gu Zhengchen, Qin Tongzhi is in charge of all matters of the government office. How can you speak here!"
"In charge? Oh, I am the prefect, why do I need him to take care of it?"
Gu Zhengchen was disdainful.
Wu Kang gritted his teeth: "You don't have a seal, so you can't arrest people!"
"Seal?"
Gu Zhengchen looked at everyone with majestic eyes and asked slowly: "Qin Tongzhi, where did you put the seal?"
Qin Xin shouted: "Gu Zhengchen, don't go too far! I am the acting prefect. If you dare to be so presumptuous again, I will impeach you!"
Gu Zhengchen shook his head slightly: "I allow you to impeach, but you need to change the place to write the impeachment documents."
Qin Xin's expression changed: "What do you mean?"
Gu Zhengchen was shocked and shouted: "Qin Xin, you have embezzled and accepted bribes, embezzled people's houses, exploited people, seized merchants' property, and colluded with desperadoes to do many evil things! Now I will put you in jail. Come and arrest him." He took off his official hat and took off his official uniform!"
Before Qin Song and Mei Hong took action, Zhao Sanqi had already walked out.
Zhao Sanqi can be regarded as Gu Zhengchen's die-hard loyalist. He hates these corrupt officials. No matter whether Gu Zhengchen has a seal or not, as long as he gives an order, he will do it!
Qin Xin shouted anxiously: "Stop, I am the acting prefect!"
Qin Song stepped forward, took off the bag from Qin Xin's waist, opened it and took a look, then walked towards Gu Zhengchen and handed the bag over.
Gu Zhengchen opened the bag, took out the prefect's seal inside, looked at Qin Xin, and said coldly: "Now, you are no longer the acting prefect, you are just a prisoner!"
Qin Xin did not expect that Gu Zhengchen would be so audacious and dare to snatch the seal of the letter in broad daylight. He immediately shouted: "Gu Zhengchen, you are attacking the government office and snatching the official seal. This is a crime of beheading! You officials and servants, They are all his accomplices, and when the court investigates them, no one can escape!"
These words still frightened many officials and government officials, and they all panicked.
Seeing that the place was shaken, Qin Xin became more forceful: "You people want to rebel, but if you don't return the official seal to me, arrest Gu Zhengchen! Let people like him continue to be the prefect of Quanzhou. , can you live a good life? Besides, Gao Shenzheng has handed over the impeachment documents, and it won't be long before he will be convicted. If you listen to him, I think you are looking for death!"
Some officials began to back down again.
What Qin Tongzhi said made sense. Gu Zhengchen was indeed robbing the official seal, an act of rebellion against the imperial court, and it was natural for him to be taken out and beheaded. The most important thing is that Gu Zhengchen's future is worrying, and he cannot bear the impeachment of Gao Huigao for his political participation.
Such a person is in trouble, and it would be unwise to continue to follow him. Besides, Gu Zhengchen was too strict and would hit people at every turn. He followed him because he was afraid, but he didn't follow him because he was afraid...
Gu Zhengchen looked at Qin Xin who looked proud and said calmly: "Are you done?"
"Gu——"
"So much nonsense!"
Xiao Cheng walked in from the door, grabbed Qin Xin, and without any explanation, took off his official uniform. Regardless of Qin Xin's curses and threats, he grabbed Qin Xin's collar and dragged him out of the lobby.
Wu Kang's hands trembled and he pointed at Gu Zhengchen: "Rebellion, you are rebelling!"...??m
Gu Zhengchen looked at Wu Kang: "I am very curious. Tang Xian died of true heartache in the prison cell. Will you also die of true heartache? Wu Kang, please think carefully about how to explain the crime. As for me, I won’t worry about it anymore.”
Wu Kang looked at Qin Song and Mei Hong walking over, knowing that they couldn't avoid it today, so he had to wave his sleeves: "I will leave on my own! It's just Gu Zhengchen, if you do this, you will only kill more people!"
Gu Zhengchen smiled calmly: "If you don't do this, it won't be more people, but more families who will be harmed. For the sake of the people of Quanzhou Prefecture, I have to fight in danger. If you want to write an impeachment document, just write it, pen, ink and paper The inkstone will be sent over. But before writing the impeachment document, it is best to write down clearly the crimes you have committed in Quanzhou Prefecture over the years."
Wu Kang gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.
These damn government servants don't even dare to disobey Gu Zhengchen's orders. At least you fought hard for them.
If the government officials knew what Wu Kang was thinking, they would probably send their regards to Wu Kang's family. Qin Xin, the acting magistrate, has been taken to the prison cell. You are already intimidated, and you still expect us to be tough?
