The current disaster has been solved, but it is not enough for Tang Jianqiu to relieve his anger, so he ordered the two people next to him:
"A Fei, Fang Xiaoyu is coming with me. The others will stay here for now while I take this guy to the county government for punishment."
"Yes!" The two of them said at the same time, clasping fists and saluting.
"By the way, girl, may I ask your name?"
Tang Jianqiu suddenly remembered that he had never asked the other party's name from the beginning, so he couldn't just call her a girl, right?
"Mr. Xie saved the little girl. The little girl's name is Xiaomei. Xiaomei is very grateful!" She said as she knelt down to express her gratitude to Tang Jianqiu.
Tang Jianqiu just waved his hand, "No need to be polite, Tang Zhuimu, Xiaomei, please stay here for the time being. See you again after I take this guy to the prison."
After that, the three of them escorted the evil slave away, and Xiaomei's eyes were filled with gratitude, and the look in her eyes was different from the first;
When Tang Jianqiu and others arrived at the local government office, they didn't waste any time. Fang Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the injustice drum lying nearby. He trotted forward, raised his drumstick and struck the three links.
It was only then that two government officials in official uniforms came out impatiently. They seemed to have not woken up and shouted angrily:
"Who beats the drum to complain?"
"it's me."
Fang Xiaoyu was upright and showed no signs of being frightened by the other party's aura.
When the two government officials saw this, they first looked at each other, then turned their attention to Fang Xiaoyu and glanced around briefly.
Judging from the other party's clothes and appearance, he was just a commoner. At first, they thought that the other party was some kind of great official, but now it was no big deal at first sight.
"You think we brothers are fools? What a nonsense! Of course we know it's you, but we just want to know who you are, where you are from, and what grievances you have against us?"
"Regarding this issue, please look over there."
Liang Yayi looked in the direction of Fang Xiaoyu's finger, and then discovered that the evil slave who was forcibly detained by A Fei suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe that the person who was forcibly taken over was actually him.
The evil slave was quite proud to see that the other party was an acquaintance, as if he had found a springboard, and was particularly excited. He was about to twist his body to resist, but A Fei was too strong, so after struggling for a while, he had no choice but to give up.
He ordered: "Why don't you guys hurry up and get these three people down for me! I'm a member of the Marquis's house! If something happens to me, be careful that the Marquis won't let you go away without a meal!"
The two government officials trembled violently, as if they were looking at evil spirits, their eyes filled with all kinds of fear.
Just when they were about to call on the officers and soldiers to take down Tang Jianqiu and others, they were greeted by Tang Jianqiu's shout:
"stop!"
Tang Jianqiu was not afraid in the face of danger. He stepped forward and questioned in court:
"May I ask your Excellency, what crime did we commit? And why did you arrest us indiscriminately and take us into the county government office? If we don't give a reasonable explanation, I will definitely ask you and the county magistrate!"
He was full of fighting spirit, and it was this terrifying murderous intent that made the officers and soldiers tremble.
Tang Jianqiu was scolding the county government for failing to discipline them. How could these two government officials be fools? Naturally I understood.
But even so, I was still holding on, as if even though I was wrong about this matter, I was still reasonable:
"You...you bastards didn't keep their eyes open, and you actually offended our super-lords!"
"Oh? It's just that I offended a super-featured prince. Is it possible that he will be arrested and questioned in court just because he offended the prince? This Xianning County Government is governed by the imperial court! Could it be that the Ming Dynasty's surname is Murong?"
Tang Jianqiu's face suddenly darkened, and his face was as cruel as a tyrant's, which made the government officials feel frightened when they saw him;
"This this……"
They stuttered for a while and couldn't speak, just because what Tang Jianqiu said made sense.
The two of them were just here a while ago, and they didn't know how to deal with someone who was more powerful than them.
Just when the two of them were stunned and at a loss, an official who was one level higher than the two government officials appeared.
At first, he thought that the two of them were delayed for something, so he came over to take a look, but now he instantly understood what was going on.
He was originally a person who liked to do evil, but now he saw the two melons so stunned that they didn't even dare to fart, which made him even more angry, so he couldn't help but yell:
"You two losers! What do you do for a living? It's just three places where the people suppress you! Even people in the world shouldn't do this!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Tang Jianqiu and the others, but found no clues, and then became even more proud.
He raised his jaw and said arrogantly: "What kind of gods are you guys? How dare you make trouble here! Do you know where this place is? I will arrest you and give you a sentence of contempt of justice. crime!
Haha, are you scared? Grandpa is in a good mood now. If you can crawl out of the county government office obediently, I will be merciful and spare your life! "
The corner of Tang Jianqiu's mouth raised in a strange arc, and he laughed muffledly: "Oh? What crime did we commit, and which law did we commit? How dare you, a stupid official who doesn't distinguish right from wrong and arrests everyone on sight, to take advantage of others!
We are just beating drums to ask questions, but you people don't ask the right and wrong reasons, don't know how to comfort and show mercy, do what they want, and ignore the laws of the country!
As a member of the public family, you dare to disregard the law and even threaten good people with evil words in broad daylight. You are really in vain for your official title! He is really a wolf with a heart and a dog with a dog's lungs, worse than an animal!
If you appear in our east city, you will be sent to Facao and severely punished! "
Tang Jianqiu was originally ranked in the fourth rank, and the tone of his words was even more chilling.
Faced with this powerful aura and fierce oppression, the officer and soldier was frightened and retreated repeatedly.
If there wasn't a wall behind him, he would have wanted to run away. Forced to squeeze into the wall, he felt overwhelming pressure and hesitated for a long time without knowing what to say.
He really felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he could only pray in his heart that Master Qingtian would come quickly;
I don't know if it was because of what he had in mind but for some other reason that the county magistrate wearing a dark blue robe and a black turban appeared.
This person is the seventh-rank magistrate of Xianning Zhong County. When he took office as a new official, he first straightened his eyebrows, as if he was the head of a family in Xianning County, and he was particularly proud of it.
He crossed the threshold and looked at Tang Jianqiu.
The two of them had never met before, but the aura exuding from Tang Jianqiu felt that he was extraordinary and should not be an ordinary person.
However, in order to save face, he coughed dryly, put on an attitude that a seventh-grade official should have, and said quietly:
"Who is so bold and dares to speak so wildly in the county government?"
Seeing this seventh-grade sesame official, the evil slave instantly gained hope. As if he had found his backbone, he actually ordered the seventh-grade magistrate with a master's attitude:
"I told you that you are blind, why don't you hurry up and get someone to take him down for me!"
The Qipin County Magistrate suddenly choked. For some reason, he felt that the person in front of him was not someone to be trifled with. If he enforced it forcefully, he would probably end up with a lose-lose outcome.
The Qipin County Magistrate hesitated for a moment, and after much hesitation, in order to save face, he still called the Yamen here:
"Come here! Arrest these people!"
The moment he finished speaking, dozens of officers and soldiers rushed out. Seeing that they were about to rush up and attack Tang Jianqiu, A Fei became anxious;
"Wait a minute! Lord Magistrate! It is ridiculous for you to arbitrarily convict the three of us without any trial! I will not accept it!"
The Qipin County Magistrate pondered for a moment after hearing this. He seemed to think that what A Fei said made sense, so he raised his hand to tell them not to take action yet.
The government officials naturally did not dare to make any mistake without receiving orders from the Qipin County Magistrate, so they just stood aside and surrounded a few people;
The Qipin County Magistrate put his hands behind his back and said with a cynical look: "Since you know that I am the current magistrate, why don't you kneel down when you see me?"
"Of course the court will know, not to mention you are not qualified."
This is not A Fei's exaggeration. This hundred households can be said to be the sixth rank of the dynasty. There is no high-ranking official in the world who first bows to and apologizes to a low-ranking person.
"You! How brave you are to speak to me like this!"
The Qipin County Magistrate was obviously angry. He was now worried that there was no way to cure A Fei.
Seeing that an opportunity had come, one of the officials with a sly eyebrow immediately came to him and whispered a few words. The seventh-grade county magistrate nodded with satisfaction.
Tang Jianqiu suppressed the anger in his heart. He hoped that this person would be a good official, so he said polite words before fighting: "In the Tang Dynasty, I met the county magistrate Zhui Mu. I believe you have also seen this man. He is an evil slave who oppresses good people!
I just hope that the county magistrate can bring to justice this criminal who is rampaging the streets and committing crimes for no reason. I also hope that the county magistrate will give Tang Mou some mercy. "
Tang Jianqiu was looking forward to the other party's next reaction, but who would have thought that the other party was not a master who was not afraid of power.
After hearing Tang Jianqiu's words, the county magistrate showed a troubled expression, as if he had eaten a fly in his stomach, wondering if he was being coerced.
At this time, a slightly smarter government servant was afraid of spoiling the big thing, so he quickly reminded him: "Sir, it is said that the imperial envoy here seems to be named Tang, but I don't know..."
"But the letter didn't say that Mr. Tang has arrived in Xianning?"
If the imperial envoy had written to tell him that he had arrived in Xianning, he might have believed that the person in front of him was Tang Jianqiu, the envoy of Fusi Town in Beizhen, but they did not receive the relevant letter.
And this was what Tang Jianqiu did deliberately. The reason why he didn't inform him in advance was because he wanted to see clearly the faces of these thieves!
"This...that may be the villain's memory mistake." Now the government officials had to give in.
Seeing that the other party did not look like an imperial envoy, the Qipin County Magistrate spoke in a harder tone, and even knowingly asked about the evil slave's crime;
"Let me ask you what you committed? Tell me in detail. I will make the decision for you."
When the evil slave saw this, he rolled his eyes. His small eyes seemed to be narrow-minded and wretched.
"Lord County Magistrate, we in the Marquis Mansion have always behaved according to the rules. We would never do such an outrageous thing, let alone commit murder for no reason. You must not be deceived by them!
We were just leading people to walk on the street, and we just met this person. But who would have thought that these scoundrels just ordered their men to come forward to provoke us if they didn't like us?
No matter how hard he tried to make concessions, he still resorted to cruelty. Look at my two arms, both of which were damaged by him. I beg the county magistrate to make the decision for us! "
