The sergeants who were sent to work obviously had no fear of the young and weak magistrate. In fact, the magistrate could only manage civilian households, and military households were not managed by the magistrate.
The crowd rushed in front of Fang Yingwu, making a lot of noise and gesticulating loudly, as if they could bump into Fang Yingwu accidentally. But there was a yamen servant in the middle, calling them Just can't get through it.
Fang Zhixian looked as usual and shouted loudly: "You left the construction site without authorization, what are you doing here!"
Someone among the sergeants shouted: "We are all made of flesh. If we are not allowed to rest for several days in a row, we will definitely not be able to do this job!"
"That's right! It keeps raining. I can't keep doing things in the rain!"
"Brothers are working so hard that they only have half their lives left. We really can't do it anymore!"
Fang Yingwu said in a deep voice: "As the saying goes, a country can raise an army for a thousand days, but it can only be used in a short period of time. Don't you even understand this truth?"
The old people in the crowd burst into laughter. The county magistrate is indeed too young. Does he really regard these principles as treasures? Someone else was cheering and shouting: "Does the magistrate want to support us?"
Some of the government officials curled their lips in disdain. These ignorant sergeants didn't know, but their government officials already understood it very well. Once the young county magistrate opened his mouth to teach people a lesson, he must have secretly planned murder at the same time.
Fang Yingwu glanced at it a few times and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Someone loudly replied: "Please ask the county magistrate to be kind and let us disperse!" Others shouted: "If there is any reward, brothers can also accept it!"
Lou Tianhua said in a low voice: "It's better to try to appease him. Don't lose the big for the small. After all, if the fortifications cannot be completed on time, it is the proprietor who will be punished directly."
Fang Yingwu chuckled a few times and spoke loudly again: "I can reward you, but I don't know what to do. Come over with some leaders and discuss it with me."
The sergeant cheered a few times, and soon five people were pushed out. The Yamen guard surrounding Fang Yingwu opened his mouth and let these people in.
A captain named Zhang Sheng asked with a playful smile: "I wonder what the county magistrate wants to reward? I'll thank you for the brothers first."
Fang Yingwu asked calmly: "What if I don't give you a reward today?" Zhang Sheng laughed and replied: "Then we will disperse and go back to our camps. It will not be easy to find them all again." Already."
Fang Yingwu turned his head and asked Lou Tianhua: "Are you familiar with military law? What crime should a sergeant face if he escapes from battle?"
Lou Tianhua was stunned for a moment, "Although I am not familiar with military law, I also know that if a soldier escapes from battle, he will be punished by beheading!"
Fang Yingwu sneered a few times, pointed at Zhang Sheng and said: "The emperor ordered me to wait until here. The local area is equivalent to the front of the battle, the fortification is the battle, and the officer is the commander. You have no superiors, instigate chaos, escape from the battle, and be punished for several crimes. , deserving of death!”
When Zhang Sheng and others heard this, they couldn't help laughing. Even the sergeants outside also laughed. They didn't believe it. This weak scholar dared to kill people here. They were military households and not prisoners. The county magistrate really thought he had the power. A sword?
Fang Yingwu shouted to the left and right: "What are you doing standing still? Let me take it!" Fang Yingshi took the lead and rushed out, followed by Zhang Gui, only half a step behind Fang Yingshi.
Zhang Sheng and the other people who had been tricked in made a commotion, and when they were about to resist, they saw the government officials rushing over, all armed with bright steel knives, which were absolutely sharp! They immediately did not dare to move around, the swords and guns had no eyesight, they must be unarmed. To suffer a loss.
When the sergeants outside wanted to follow the commotion, they saw the government officials pulling out various weapons and staring at them eagerly.
Although these people are known as military households, they are not the elite main force in the three major battalions. They have not fought in the past thirty years, and their temperament and fighting ability are similar to ordinary people. At this time, they have no weapons in their hands.
Seeing that all the government officials came prepared with real weapons, the peripheral sergeants did not dare to rush up easily. Moreover, they did not believe that the magistrate really dared to kill people here, so there was no need to risk their lives to save people. .
Lou Tianhua didn't pay attention just now and was dumbfounded at this time. He didn't expect that the proprietor had brought out all the equipment stored in the box in the county government office. He was really well prepared. But when he thought about the proprietor's cautious and life-saving style, it was not surprising.
Inside, Zhang Sheng and several other people were pushed to the ground by Fang Yingshi, still shouting in an aggressive manner: "Xiao County Lord, don't even think about scaring grandpa! Grandpa's neck is right here, come and chop it if you dare!"
Fang Yingwu turned a deaf ear and coldly waved his hand and said: "Keep them for what? Behead them all and show them to the public!"
"Yes!" Zhang Gui cupped his fists and accepted the order. When he turned around to call for his companions to take action, Fang Yingwu ordered again: "This matter is really disgusting. Don't dirty my eyes here and take it to the alley over there for execution!"
The scene was completely silent. Everyone looked directly at Magistrate Fang and the five prisoners. They still couldn't believe that a weak magistrate who seemed to be afraid of blood actually dared to kill someone on the spot. This was really unbelievable!
Zhang Gui then led a dozen government officials and five prisoners into the alley next to him. All the sergeants present were still stunned and did not get up to make a fuss, as if they were waiting for the final result.
I heard a few shouts, and then I saw several government officials appearing at the entrance of the alley. The things in their hands were all heads! They were clearly heads!
Fang Yingshi hurriedly shouted over there: "My lord is kind-hearted. If you don't want to see these things, take them far away first! Take them back to the county government office to record them for future reference!" After hearing this, the government officials retracted into the alley with their heads in hand. .
The sergeants here were in an uproar. It was not uncommon for officers to execute and behead soldiers, but they didn't expect that the seemingly polite magistrate in front of him would dare to do it!
Didn't they just want to make a fuss and get some benefits? As for asking people to kill people in the street? The magistrate looked tender-faced and had a black heart like a snake or a scorpion, which really made them feel deeply afraid.
Fang Yingshi shouted again: "You guys haven't resumed work yet, and whoever dares to make trouble again will be punished for resisting the decree, and the crime will be increased! After reporting to the emperor, the whole family will be sold into slavery!"
Several leading brothers were dragged and beheaded. The sergeants were leaderless and fearful for a while, so they were forced by the government officials to return to the construction site...
The weather cleared up and the rain drained away, and the streets of the capital became lively again. The news that Fang Qingtian killed five low-level camp officials in public while supervising work became a new topic of conversation among idlers.
In the eyes of ordinary people in the capital, although they all knew that the Emperor was in the Forbidden City, he felt that he was too far away from them and out of reach. The senior officials in the imperial court seemed to be high in the clouds and had no actual relationship with them.
However, forces such as Xunchen, Factory Guards, and Beijing Camp, who are always in the capital, can deal with the common people from time to time. In the eyes of the common people, they are regarded as the sitting tigers in the capital. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are feared like tigers.
But this Fang Qingtian, since he took office, has punched the East Factory, kicked the West Factory, pissed off the Jin Yiwei to death, hit the ministers in public, and this time he chopped off the heads of several small camp officials with a raised hand... ..It seems to be invincible every time, which makes mortals worship it beyond measure!
All living beings couldn't help but sigh: "This is the tiger of the capital!"
PS: Oh wow! This is considered a complete update...
