The Qipin County Magistrate never expected that he would end up here, so he could only pray in his heart that everything would be fine.
Ah Fei just snorted coldly. He had already memorized all the things this guy had done before.
When Tang Jianqiu led a group of royal guards into the county government office, he actually made a joke about the seventh-grade county magistrate:
"Your Excellency, the county magistrate, you have worked hard on weekdays. You must have taken on cases like this a lot, right?"
The Qipin County Magistrate quickly understood the implication of Tang Jianqiu's words. Perhaps he was too frightened and broke into a cold sweat. He wanted to raise his hand to wipe it with his sleeves but did not dare.
Due to the heavy pressure, he could only bend his body, bowed and said: "The imperial envoy is joking. I am afraid of the humble position and dare not say the word "hard work."
"Lord Magistrate, do I look scary? Why don't you dare to look up?"
Tang Jianqiu's words were casual and casual, but to him it was an edict that could cost his life.
His face was filled with unprecedented fear, and he almost knelt down on the spot and begged for Tang Jianqiu's forgiveness.
"Your Majesty, please don't do this. Wouldn't it undermine your humble position? As a local parent, I have to make decisions for them."
"Why can't I make decisions for the people even though I am the parent of the place? Instead, I help the tyrants and bully others, take advantage of the power to bully others, bully the strong and bully the weak, bully the emperor, neglect my superiors, and oppress the people. I really have no conscience and am worse than a beast!"
Do you really know nothing about the various crimes committed by the local ruffians? Ah! Come to think of it, you not only don't believe the people's words, but also believe the slanderous words, act in the opposite direction, and join in the evil deeds of that fool! It's really a waste to wear your official clothes! What's the point of keeping you? "
Tang Jianqiu's scolding made the Qipin County Magistrate so frightened that he dared not say a word. Tang Jianqiu was a martial arts prodigy, and the aura exuding from his body made him even more afraid.
The Qipin County Magistrate was sweating profusely, so much so that he did not dare to wipe away the sweat. He could only listen quietly to Tang Jianqiu talking about the various regulations he had committed;
"The evil slave took advantage of the Marquis's remaining power to do evil the day before. Instead of punishing him, you listened to others, confused right and wrong, and confused right and wrong! You violated the laws of the country and ordered me to be detained.
If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known that Xianning County was in such chaos! Do you know how many people in this world have been wronged because of this? How can you live up to your own conscience?
Do you think this rumor is false? With a treacherous person like you, how can the people of this world dare to speak out even if they have grievances to complain about? Even if you use all your tricks, it’s still hard to bet on the world’s most beautiful mouth! "
Hearing that the seventh-grade county magistrate couldn't hold himself any longer, he was so ashamed that he knelt down hard in front of Tang Jianqiu. Whether it was due to pressure or other reasons, he didn't dare to look at Tang Jianqiu.
"Sir... have mercy on me! I am humbled by my position and know my fault, please have mercy on me!" Only then did the Qipin County Magistrate realize how much he had done, and could only kowtow to Tang Jianqiu and beg for mercy.
Tang Jianqiu snorted coldly. He turned around and patted his sleeves, feeling ashamed of the other party's behavior;
"Don't talk about what you have done in the past few days, but let's talk about the wrongful and unjust case you committed before. You knew who the real culprit was but you didn't dare to arrest him. You must have benefited from the Marquis on weekdays, right?"
The Qipin County Magistrate could only kneel on the ground and cry out that he was wronged, "This... the Marquis also insists on rewarding me. I dare not refuse to accept this humble position!"
It was okay that he didn't say this, but when Tang Jianqiu was mentioned, he became even more angry. He slapped the table angrily, expressing dissatisfaction in his words;
"Nonsense! If you are coerced by others, you should really not dare to offend the Marquis and argue your case to the court. Even if there is no other way, you have never thought about it. What is the use of you as a county magistrate in this world? ?”
The Qipin County Magistrate was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. From his submissive side, he really did not dare to speak out to refute, so he could only kneel down and listen to Tang Jianqiu ridiculing his crimes;
"I have decided to dismiss you from your position today. As for the candidate for the new county magistrate, I have an idea. He is an upright official of Dingyuan County. Pang Chun, are you convinced?"
Tang Jianqiu's move can be described as an act of benevolence outside the law. If it had been anyone else, this dog official would have lost his head!
The Qipin County Magistrate immediately panicked after hearing this. He quickly knelt forward until he reached Tang Jianqiu, kowtowed to him, and begged again and again;
"Ah? Sir! This... is absolutely impossible! You can't do it, sir... aren't you going to kill someone who is humble?"
If his financial resources are cut off, how will his family support him?
"Hmph! Once the amount of corruption is found out, you will be punished for all the crimes! It's just a matter of letting go of your official position and using the money you embezzled as relief money. If this is reported, I'm afraid it won't be just that simple.
I will certainly advise the Holy One on this matter. What happened today is that it is a small thing to take away the hat on your head, but it is a big thing to take away your life! This governor has not yet punished you for beating the imperial envoy! "
After Tang Jianqiu said this, the Qipin County Magistrate remembered that he also had this crime! If Tang Jianqiu was really angry because of this, he might not be able to eat and walk around!
Youdao is the one who crushes people at the highest level of government. This sentence is suitable for anyone. The seventh-grade county magistrate was also afraid, so he had no choice but to give in:
"Thank you, sir!"
"Get up, Pang Chun. Take care of your men. Let them wipe their eyes from now on. Don't bite anyone when you see them. If I were not the imperial envoy, I would have been forcibly detained by your guard. Down!"
Tang Jianqiu was talking about the incident where they took the evil slaves to complain before, but they were threatened by the yamen servants before entering. Although it was their duty to guard the yamen, it was not difficult to report them;
How dare the Qipin County Magistrate disobey? He knelt down and said: "Yes, yes! I promise to comply with my humble duty."
Since there is no way to cure Tang Jianqiu, he can only vent to these low-ranking people. Even if he really wants to leave, he must take this opportunity to slap those few short-sighted people!
"When a new official takes office, be sure to post a notice to inform the people of the world that no matter how great their grievances are, they can come and report them. If the new county magistrate commits corruption and perverts the law, they can report it.
In addition, all the people who have been wronged and oppressed are asked to write a petition with tens of thousands of people. Although I am not the local magistrate or the official of the Dali Temple, I do not want to see the people suffering. If someone comes, please tell them to get out! "
"yes!"
After that, the few quick-footed Jinyi guards did what Tang Jianqiu said. Since there were not many officers and soldiers who could write, they had to ask a few old men who could write to put up notices and stamp them before the matter could be finalized. ;
Tang Jianqiu suddenly remembered that there were still important things to do, so he added: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen the Marquis in the county government since I came here, so I have to trouble you to lead the way."
Of course, this was just an excuse for him. He had indeed been to the Marquis's Mansion, but he just wanted to see what the seventh-grade magistrate could do and see how far he could go;
How can this Qipin County Magistrate respond after hearing this? With Mr. Hou’s virtue, their whole family, old and young, would disappear in this Xianning County!
"Sir! I don't dare to do this in a humble position! I don't dare to do it in a humble position!"
The Qipin County Magistrate was so frightened that he knelt down with a plop. His words were full of pleading, and he almost hugged the other party's legs and cried.
Tang Jianqiu didn't take it seriously, "Why don't you dare? You just need to lead the way for me.
It seems that most of the officers and soldiers in the Hou Mansion were transferred from your side, right? I want you to evacuate all the officers and soldiers sent to the Marquis's residence. Is it difficult? "
"Sir! If you ask me to evacuate the Marquis, it will kill me!"
The Qipin County Magistrate almost fainted, but a person with poor psychological quality might have been frightened and fainted.
"I can kill you right now!"
Tang Jianqiu's eyes were frightening, and his ferocious face made all the officers and soldiers panic, let alone the seventh-grade county magistrate who was already timid.
The seventh-grade county magistrate was completely frightened by Tang Jianqiu's intimidation. He was afraid that his head would be moved, so he nodded in agreement: "Yes... yes!"
Naturally, the Qipin County Magistrate did not dare to neglect. He wanted to take this opportunity to let Tang Jianqiu take a break and have a cup of tea. Unexpectedly, Tang Jianqiu did not accept this trick at all and decisively refused, making the Qipin County Magistrate feel ashamed.
Finally, led by Qipin County Magistrate, Tang Jianqiu and others successfully arrived at the gate of Hou Ye's office. The two guards were the officers and soldiers transferred by Qipin County Magistrate a few months ago.
The moment they saw outsiders trying to enter the Hou Mansion, they still resisted a little, but when they saw their county master, they immediately swallowed what they were going to say.
At first, the Qipin County Magistrate was a little tangled, but when he saw Tang Jianqiu's eyes that looked like a murderous god, he still reluctantly picked up the order and removed all the government officials.
In other words, all that Murong Jing has left now is the No. 30 officers and soldiers he brought with him, who can barely survive for a while, if the people coming are not very strong;
At this time, Murong Jing was enjoying a rare free time. He originally planned to take this opportunity to enjoy the newly acquired little lady, but who would have thought that a sudden knock on the door would disturb his original interest.
This made Murong Jing very angry and lost all his good spirits. He was very dissatisfied and yelled at the man outside the door, cursing endlessly:
"You evil beast! You blind bitch! Didn't you see that I was busy? If you fart, hurry up! If there is nothing important, I will chop off your head!"
"Master Hou, something bad is going to happen, something going bad is going to happen -"
The county magistrate suddenly ordered all officers and soldiers to be withdrawn! What should we do now, Master Hou! "
Murong Jing was instantly furious. In this situation, he couldn't bear to throw himself into the arms of the beauty. Therefore, he cursed angrily:
"What! Doesn't he want to live? Damn Pang Chun! I want his whole family to not see the sun tomorrow!"
As Murong Jing spoke, he put on his clothes unconvinced. The more he thought about it, the more furious he became. All he could think about was how to execute the Qipin County Magistrate.
In order to increase his morale, he led all the officers and soldiers angrily towards the gate.
I originally planned to take down the Qipin County Magistrate in one go, but I realized something was wrong when I saw hundreds of officers and soldiers around me. But how could he, who had been pampered since he was a child, give in so easily?
"Pang Chun! You are so brave! Who told you to withdraw the officers and soldiers? Do you believe it or not? I want your head now!"
The Qipin County Magistrate was trembling with fright. Just as he was about to open his mouth to say something, Tang Jianqiu noticed his difficulty and took the initiative to say something for him:
"Master Hou, I asked him to do this, so why should Master Hou embarrass him?"
Seeing this extraordinary popularity, Murong Jing asked: "Who are you?"
"The envoy of Fusi Town in North Town is also the imperial envoy patrolling on behalf of Heaven, Tang Jianqiu!"
