Chapter 296 It’s good to be angry
His face suddenly became gloomy.
Seeing this, Xu Hu couldn't help it and immediately stepped forward, but was stopped by Xiao Yuan.
"This, big... young master!" Xu Hu said anxiously.
Xiao Yuan's face was cold and he shook his head slightly: "Don't be anxious."
At this time, after the military pushed the shopkeeper away, he also took a group of people away. When passing by Xiao Yuan, he glared fiercely: "What are you looking at!"
After saying that, he left directly.
"This! Young Master!" Xu Hu was so angry that he was angry. If Xiao Yuan hadn't stopped him, he would have beaten these people all over the ground.
Shangguan Wenruo shook his head and whispered: "Young Master, if the Yiyang Wuwei Mansion acts like this, how will the people of Yiyang view Qin?"
This was just what Xiao Yuan was angry in his heart.
He took a deep breath and said coldly: "Today I want to see how Zhang Gongyou governed Yiyang! If officials from all over the country colluded and were lawless, then he would not have to be the county magistrate!"
Their conversation was very low, so it did not attract attention. At this time, the shopkeeper of the tavern also stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and cursed:
"The officers and soldiers who were killed this day! They can only bully the people, and they have never caught a few thieves!"
He was just a small business, and he was eaten by someone and didn't dare to fight back. He was so angry that he could imagine.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuan walked over, bowed his hands and asked with a smile: "This shopkeeper, are all the rude and rude people just now?"
"Yes." The shopkeeper said, and then complained: "Business is not easy to do, and I have encountered these kills..."
"How to not report to the official?" Xiao Yuan asked again.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper looked at him strangely and said, "Young Master just saw it. They are all officers and soldiers. As the saying goes, officials protect each other. We ordinary people, just ask for peace. If you report to the official, will the government arrest their own people?"
"Even if the officers and soldiers dare to oppress the people and have no way of being a king, then you can sue the officials! How can the government ignore it?" Xiao Yuan said seriously.
"This...Young Master, you are not kidding Xiao Er."
"I'll give you some advice, and you'll report to the official."
"Can……"
"Just report to the officials! Complaint the officers and soldiers from the government! I will be with you!"
At this point, the shopkeeper couldn't help but look at Xiao Yuan up and down. Seeing that he was handsome, luxuriously dressed and extraordinary in temperament, he didn't seem to be joking. He couldn't help swallowing and said weakly:
"Yes... Is it a small person who reported to the officers and soldiers, then, will that official beat the villain's board?"
"You are innocent, he dares!" Xiao Yuan's expression stern.
You know, he is the king of a country. He fought the entire Qin State with his army. He had already possessed a certain temperament. Sometimes, in the court, his cold eyes would make the ministers below frightened.
Although he is wearing casual clothes now, it is invisible and intangible in touch with temperament, but it really exists. Perhaps because he felt Xiao Yuan’s unusualness, the shopkeeper swallowed hard again and subconsciously said: “That…that villain listens to the young master…”
Then, accompanied by Xiao Yuan, the shopkeeper of the tavern came to an official office in Yiyang and began to sue the officers and soldiers.
Yiyang is a county town. Its city is very large, and of course there is more than one official office. The officials here are also under the jurisdiction of the county government and belong to the sixth rank of the imperial court.
It is a coincidence that Zhang Gongyou, the governor of Yiyang County, was also checking the official documents of his subordinates at this official office.
Hearing that the people were complaining about the wronged and the local officers and soldiers were suing the local officers and soldiers, this was no longer an ordinary civil dispute. After Zhang Gongyou learned about it, he also put down the bamboo slips in his hand and said to an official at hand: "The people sued the officers and soldiers, but there is few such a matter. Just so I want to see what happened today."
"This..." the official paused and bowed slightly, "It is necessary for the adults to judge it personally, and it must be fair and honest."
"Let's go." Zhang Gongyou said, and walked out.
Not long after, there were guards with swords standing on both sides of the government lobby. Zhang Gongyou was dressed in the county magistrate's uniform and sat in the main seat himself.
He is about forty years old, and his beard on his chin is very well decorated. Although his appearance is ordinary, it makes people look like he is not angry and powerful.
At this time, as the news of the people suing the officers and soldiers came out, countless people were watching. Outside the hall, there were crowds of people watching the excitement.
After seeing Zhang Gongyou, Xiao Yuan moved back calmly and showed an interesting smile on his face. He did not expect that the latter, the county magistrate, would appear here by such a coincidence today.
In the hall, Zhang Gongyou sat behind the main seat, and also made a clear head. He pointed directly at the shopkeeper of the tavern and said in a true voice:
"Who is in the hall!"
When the tavern shopkeeper heard this, he knelt down and kowtowed: "Caomin Wu Zhong, I have met the lord."
"Wu Zhong, what are your grievances? Just come and go. If it is true, I will make the decision for you!" Zhang Gongyou said directly.
"Yes, yes..." Wu Zhong responded repeatedly, then subconsciously looked around, trying to find Xiao Yuan's shadow.
But Xiao Yuan was afraid that Zhang Gongyou would recognize him, so he had already hidden in the crowd.
Seeing this, Zhang Gongyou frowned and said majestic: "Wu Zhong! He Gu, answer my questions."
"Ah? Yes, yes..." Wu Zhong swallowed, and then said carefully: "Go back to Master, Caomin was the shopkeeper of a small tavern on the East Street. At noon today, several officers and soldiers were having wine in the tavern. When they left, they did not make any money for the wine. The villain argued with him and was scolded and pushed. Therefore, he came to report to the official."
He was telling the truth. After hearing this, Zhang Gongyou also looked upright and said in a voice: "Are you saying that some officers and soldiers are domineering and don't pay for drinking when they eat at the store? They are scolding and pushing you to wait?"
“Yes, yes…”
"But it is true!" Zhang Gongyou's expression was already very serious, because although this matter was small, it was related to the governance of Yiyang and the people's view of the government. As a local chief, how could he not pay attention to it?
"Every word of villain is true, how dare you deceive the adults?" said the shopkeeper.
"Then you know who the officers and soldiers!" Zhang Gongyou asked again.
"Little... the villain knows it, it's Chen Liu and the others..."
"It's outrageous! The officials and soldiers of the government are so arrogant that they are invincible! They oppress the people!"
Hearing this, Zhang Gongyou couldn't help but get up, then pointed to the guards in the hall, shouting: "Take Chen Liu and others here!"
"No!" The guard immediately took the order and left.
The crowd outside began to point and talk.
Xu Hu also said softly: "Young Master, it seems that Zhang Gongyou is very angry."
