"grown ups!"
"Are you okay, my lord!"
"Sir, are you okay?"
The dozen or so government officials armed with killing sticks quickly stepped forward and pulled out Qingying County Magistrate Hu Wentao, who was pinned down by a dead horse.
Hu Wentao, who was crushed by the dead horse, was just about to scream when he heard the other party yelling first.
"Which bastard dares to spread rumors about my Pingliang County? Why have fewer people come to my Pingliang County recently? It turns out you are the one poaching us here!"
Hu Wentao patted his dusty clothes, pointed at the more than fifty cavalrymen from Pingliang County, and shouted: "Who are you? You dare to shoot an official of the imperial court. This crime is tantamount to conspiracy, and the nine tribes should be punished."
The visitor was not intimidated by Hu Wentao, the magistrate of Qingying County. The man responded jokingly: "Magistrate Hu, please don't try to trick me. When will a beast be able to serve as the imperial official of my country, Da Chen?"
What a beast!
Wang Erniu's words can be described as a double entendre. He was scolding the horse on the ground that he shot and was also scolding. Magistrate Hu who only plunders people's wealth and wealth.
Hu Wentao, the magistrate of Qingying County, was so angry that his hands were shaking, and he accused Wang Erniu on horseback of being unable to speak for a long time.
Wang Erniu pointed to the Pingliang County boundary monument on one side and scolded: "Hu County Magistrate, you have such great official power. You actually brought your Qingying County government servants to my Pingliang County territory to arrest the people of my Pingliang County. You are so powerful." Courage!"
Hu Wentao, the magistrate of Qingying County, had just finished taking a breath, and when he heard Wang Erniu say this, his face turned red and white with anger.
"You group of bold and crazy people in Pingliang County, this boundary monument was originally located five miles away, but it was clearly you who moved it bit by bit!"
Upon hearing this, Liang Shanbo and his wife also carefully observed the Pingliang County boundary monument.
The result was exactly as the Qingying County magistrate said. There were indeed signs of movement on the boundary monument, and it seemed that it had moved a considerable distance. There were already layers of dirt on the boundary monument.
Wang Erniu refuted arrogantly: "Fart, this boundary monument of Pingliang County has been here since ancient times! This is a special installation of the imperial power, who dares to move it!"
"The reason why you feel like this boundary monument has been moved is mainly because the earth is still expanding and has no final shape. This is the famous "Earth Expansion Theory"!"
Wang Erniu's fallacies kept making Magistrate Hu angry for several years.
Wang Erniu changed his face again and said in a very gentle tone to the people who were fleeing to Pingliang County: "Don't worry, everyone. If you enter our Pingliang County, you are our Pingliang people. This stupid county magistrate can't take you away!" "
These people who fled to Pingliang County were not only from Qingying County, but also people who fled from other counties.
When these ordinary people saw the people coming from Pingliang County, they immediately felt confident, and soon they broke through the human wall blocked by the Qingying County government officials with killing sticks.
A government official ran to the county magistrate Hu Wentao and asked, "Sir, what should we do now?"
When a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain. What's more, the soldiers in Pingliang County are all bandits!
Hu Wentao felt miserable at the moment and could only swallow it in his stomach.
However, Magistrate Hu still spoke harshly angrily, saying: "You bandits and bullies from Pingliang County, just wait for me. I will write to His Majesty to report your evil deeds and drag you all to Caishikou to be beheaded!"
Wang Erniu was not afraid at all, and laughed and said: "Master Hu, when you write the memorial, don't forget that the person who shot that beast was my subordinate Li Feiyu of Pingliang County, Thunder Tiger!"
People in Pingliang County have already mastered the essence of the Book of Changes when they go out to fool around, especially when they offend others.
Now basically anyone who works under Zhou Yi knows such an operation.
Once there is a lawsuit in the future, they will not tell you that they are temporary workers. Instead, they will say to you, "Sorry, we can't find this person."
"Good for you Li Feiyu, good for you Thunder Tiger, we'll see!"
When Hu Wentao, the magistrate of Qingying County, was about to ask his government officials to carry his dead horse back, he saw Wang Erniu shooting another arrow on the ground to stop them from carrying the dead horse.
Although the horse died, it was still a considerable fortune. The horse meat alone was enough for many people.
A mountain bandit should behave like a mountain bandit, keeping wealth when others pass by, but plucking the feathers of geese when they pass by.
In order to maintain Li Feiyu's character, Wang Erniu naturally would not let Magistrate Hu drag away the dead horse.
So Wang Erniu pretended to be surprised and said, "What are you doing, Magistrate Hu? You actually instigated others to steal and kill our Pingliang County war horses!"
"If there are more than 4 of you, you are considered a group of thieves. According to Chen Guo's law, if a group of thieves resists arrest, they can be killed on the spot!"
As soon as Wang Erniu finished saying the word "kill", the more than fifty riders around him raised their bows and arrows and aimed at Magistrate Hu and the others.
I've seen people making trouble without reason, but I've never seen someone who confuses right and wrong like this.
Seeing Wang Erniu's coquettish behavior, Liang Shanbo and his wife in the carriage felt dizzy.
The two of them were really doubting whether going to Pingliang County was the right choice.
"Shu Zi, this horse on the ground is clearly my mount. When did it become your war horse in Pingliang County!" Magistrate Hu was so angry that his beard was blowing.
Wang Erniu smiled kindly, pointed to the moved boundary monument and said: "If this is not my Pingliang County war horse, how could it be on the boundary of my Pingliang County!"
"Magistrate Hu, the bow strings of my brothers are getting fuller and fuller. If someone accidentally shoots out because he can't hold on, it will be bad if he really hits the beast who pretends to be an official of the imperial court!"
Hu Wentao looked at the more than 50-year-old man's bowstring ready to be fired, and sweat dripped from his nervous head.
Magistrate Hu knew that the other party was a bandit and could do anything. Even if he was wearing an official uniform, if he still insisted on taking the horse's body, the other party might really dare to regard him as a group of thieves who resisted arrest.
It was better to die than to live, and besides, it was just a dead horse, so facing the threats from Wang Erniu and the more than fifty people around him, Magistrate Hu could only angrily keep the horse body in the end.
"Let's go!" After saying that, Magistrate Hu walked vigorously towards Qingying County with ten government officials without looking back.
When Wang Erniu saw that the Qingying County magistrate and his party had gone far away, he quickly called on his men to move the boundary monument of Pingliang County forward a certain distance.
Liang Shanbo and his wife, who were sitting in the carriage, saw all this.
The couple had an eye-opening experience today and saw what the "Earth's Expansion Theory" is.
Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai never expected that the officers and soldiers of Pingliang County would give them such a big surprise before they even arrived at the border of Pingliang County.
Just when Liang Shanbo thought that the more than fifty cavalrymen in Pingliang County were so arrogant, a very small thing made Liang Shanbo and his wife change their views on the officers and soldiers of Pingliang County.
After Wang Erniu received this group of people who fled to Pingliang County, he immediately asked people if they had any dry food with them.
When Liang Shanbo originally thought that Wang Erniu and the others wanted to rob the dry food of these refugees, he found that Wang Erniu and the others not only did not steal the dry food of the people fleeing the famine, but actually distributed the dry food they carried with them to the people fleeing the famine who had no food.
Not only that, they also cut off the meat from Magistrate Hu’s horse and distributed it to the refugees. Liang Shanbo, Zhu Yingtai and his wife also got a few thick pieces of horse meat.
