Chapter 14 Reality
Yao Guangxiao scolded sternly: "Be brave and ask your county magistrate to come see me immediately. If you are late, you will kill him."
After all, Yao Guangxiao was more of a low-level person.
When you know this, you must pretend. The people at the bottom don't have such good eyesight, and they may not know what real dignitaries are. At this time, you must pretend to let the other party know that you are not easy to mess with.
Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is the characteristic of the people at the bottom.
The better you pretend, the less they dare to mess around. If you show modesty and prudence, it will be thought that you have no confidence. The power struggle at the top may be private, with undercurrents surging, but when it really comes to the surface, the outcome is decided. But the following situation is different.
If you have strength, you must show it. If you don't show off, how will others know you are capable?
When the catcher opposite saw this, he frowned slightly and said, "Who are you? You are talking nonsense here. If something really happened, follow me to see the county magistrate. We will talk about it then."
Yao Guangxiao sneered. He knew that He Xi was determined not to see the county magistrate.
Without him, if these people see you weak, they will become tougher. If they see you tougher, they will become weaker. If they see you weak, they will become more violent. No room left. When they see strong people, they are like good people like mud. What laws and rules rarely remain in their hearts.
The more you follow the rules, the more you are perceived as weak.
In fact, under normal circumstances, He Xi went to see the county magistrate and showed his identity. These people don't know what Jinluanwei is. But how could the county magistrate not know? A county magistrate still knows the most basic understanding of Ming Dynasty officialdom. But once you obey their rules. From the time I arrived at the county government office to the time I met the county magistrate, I don’t know how much devastation went on. You won't let go until you squeeze all the juice out of people.
Is there darkness in the yamen? He Xi may not know. But Yao Guangxiao knew it. Yao Guangxiao is very familiar with both black and white.
When He Xi gets into their hands, his skin will be peeled off even if he is dead.
Yao Guangxiao shouted and grabbed a long knife. After a few steps, he walked out and chopped down the first government official with a knife. This government official was holding an iron ruler. The iron ruler is more like a short fork in form and has many uses. But most of them are good at catching people, and their lethality is not that strong.
Moreover, although these government officials helped build momentum. But how much real hands-on intention is there?
Only they themselves know.
Yao Guangxiao bets that they don't have much desire to fight.
This is normal. Even in future generations, policemen at the police station will not be required to fight desperately with desperate gangsters. Even more so today. It should be noted that according to Ming Dynasty regulations, the number of officials in each county is quite limited. Many of them are white servants, that is, they help in the county government. Those who make money to support their families by taking bribes, interfering in the judiciary and other shady means.
It looks very profitable. But in reality, it's very insecure. They are in this position and the money is their own. Once something happens, not to mention that their position is no longer theirs. Even the money he secretly obtained before is probably not his own anymore.
In this case, who is willing to fight.
Perhaps the leaders above wanted to take credit, but most of the government officials and the strong men who were pulled over were probably eager to run away.
This is the human heart.
Yao Guangxiao knew that Tang He was now in Ningbo. The real responsibility for public security is the health center. It's the military. Now only by making things bigger will things turn around.
Only then did he take action forcefully.
Yao Guangxiao's sword was fast and cruel, without any hesitation. He slashed through the yamen servant's chest, with the intention of disembowelling him and cutting him into eight pieces. Yao Guangxiao went to the dead.
All the government officials were shocked. They never expected that this gangster was so powerful. Dare to take action first.
Yao Guangxiao even kicked the half-dead government servant away, slowly wiped the blood with a handkerchief, and said lightly: "Disrespecting noble people is what you will get. You touch your head. It's here now, but it won't be there in a while." .”
Yao Guangxiao was dressed in black, and his triangular eyes were extremely sinister. His glance made everyone awed.
For a moment, no one dared to take action.
The leading catchers also felt something was wrong. He murmured a few words in secret, surrounded the people from a distance, and a few people left. Went to find someone.
Seeing this, He Xi waited for Yao Guangxiao to come back and said, "Thank you so much, Brother Yao today. Otherwise, I really don't know how to deal with this situation?"
Yao Guangxiao said: "It's just a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning. It's just that if you wear the white dragon fish suit, you may be tricked by a shrimp. My lord, with a body of ten thousand gold, it is better not to do such things in the future."
He Xi said: "I understand."
The private visit via incognito seems to be very good. But only then did He Xi know why the incognito private interview had to be turned into a story. Gein, this is hard to do. After all, even in the later generations, there will still be a fire to burn those sent from above. Not to mention this era.
Say something rude.
If something really happened, He Xi would die if he died.
this is the truth. Let you be a hero. If you are killed, you will be killed. Even now, hiding in deep thought, who would have thought that Li Zicheng was killed by several farmers.
this is the truth.
Bringing too many people will not have the effect of a private visit incognito. But the number was less than one or two hundred people. In many cases, safety cannot be guaranteed. Today's situation is actually not dangerous, because He Xi did not catch the local officials' sore points. In other words, the local officials in Ningbo did not subjectively want He Xi to die. Therefore, Yao Guangxiao decided to make things bigger and get someone who knew He Xi to show up. This matter is resolved.
But what if He Xi's private interview incognito caught some officials in trouble.
This situation is intentional.
It's hard to say, maybe He Xi will die as a pirate and gangster.
The dead have no future. Even if the injustice is overturned in the future, or even Zhu Yuanzhang launches a general purge, it will have nothing to do with He Xi himself.
He Xi sighed.
It can be said that after leaving the capital, I went to the next place. He Xi's sighs never stopped. The depth of love in the place was completely different from what he had imagined. He was not sighing for himself, he was already one of the top people in power in the Ming Dynasty. To put it bluntly, no matter what Daming looks like, it has no impact on He Xi's life.
He just instinctively felt that if the bottom of the Ming Dynasty were like this.
This is really the view of Fang Xiaoru and others. The best thing for the Ming court to do was to do nothing. Because they expect a group of corrupt criminals, a group of gangsters, and a group of people whose moral bottom line is almost zero. A group of parasites seeking welfare and well-being for the people of Ming Dynasty.
It's just an international joke.
"Today I truly understand that to govern a country is to govern the officials." He Xi sighed. The second half of the sentence was not spoken: "Personnel struggle is the manifestation of all struggles. It is absolutely impossible not to engage in personnel struggle. These garbage will not leave on their own unless they are cleaned up."
It’s just that there is a lot of garbage in Ming Dynasty.
Only then did He Xi realize why Zhu Yuanzhang started major cases over and over again and faced such rubbish. No one can suppress the fire.
He Xi was not the only one who was wronged. After all, He Xi is a person with status and means. Even if he does enter the county government, he may suffer some grievances, but probably there will be no major problems. After all, Tang He is here.
But what does an ordinary person look like? It is not easy to enter the Yamen and still come out standing upright. Even the county magistrate here is a sensible person. But just meeting the county magistrate is enough to make many ordinary people unable to survive or die.
Yao Guangxiao said: "Sir, it doesn't look good on the street. Why don't we go to the tea shop next to us to have a rest. Now the more arrogant we appear, the less they dare to move."
He Xi said: "Okay."
So the guards around He Xi immediately opened the way and drove away the people. They drove a group of people away and sat down in a wine shop. Several strong people even fought against the Jinluan guards, and naturally they were beaten to death.
He Xi still felt a little sorry for them. After all, the people at the bottom are just following orders. But He Xi knew that Yao Guangxiao was right. The more arrogant and domineering they appeared, the less anyone dared to touch them. Otherwise, once the action is taken, there is probably no problem with He Xi's personal safety. After all, the guards around him are not vegetarians. However, many people are going to die today.
