Chapter 299: County Magistrate Hou commits a crime
The wedding room was decorated with candles and red lights. When the guests had dispersed, Pan Youan began to carefully greet his bride: she was once again a beautiful woman with a beautiful face, the beauty of the sky and the beauty of the country. It was true that the flowers and brocades were all in color, and there were no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world (Su Dongpo's poem:
"The flowers have faded to red, the green apricots are small, and when the swallows fly, the green water is surrounded by people. There are few willows blowing on the branches, and there are no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world." It is used contrary to its meaning), Wei Xinmei is graceful and generous, and her temperament is elegant.
In a remote place, she is very knowledgeable. Look at the pair of charming little dimples on the upper side of the lady's cheeks and lips. They are like two lightly flying colorful butterflies. She also has beautiful eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, blue hair like clouds, and a smile.
It was full of a girl's innocence and yearning. Pan You'an couldn't help but feel itchy and wanted to go to bed immediately. He fulfilled his wish, but he quietly asked:
"Madam, the day before yesterday you blindly threw the hydrangea to an unsuspecting stranger. If he was a gangster or a pauper, wouldn't you be afraid that he would miss you and miss the important event of your youth?"
Wei Xinmei's face changed color and she said angrily: "I don't know, Mr. Lang, he didn't care about that many things at the beginning. He just thought about it. Even if he marries a lame, mute, ruffian, he is still better than that damn Hou Xunchen!"
"Is there such a thing?" Pan You'an asked in surprise, "No matter how bad a person named Hou is, he is still a respected person in the county. When he married, he was the wife of an official. He is always better than those disabled people, street gangsters and the like. Could it be that my wife thinks he is too old?
, a bit uglier?”
"Who cares about being an official? There is no connection between being ugly and handsome. Old and young are destiny. What officials don't know is that this man surnamed Hou is an unjust official, does many evil things, preys on the common people, and runs rampant in the countryside. Everyone in the two positions will put their hands on their foreheads.
, looking up to the sky and sighing: When will God open his eyes, and there will be a thunder in the clear sky, it will be better to kill this Hou Papi! Even the passing merchants have been exploited by him, and he hates this person so much that someone sent him a limerick, a single line
The benefits of this county master."
"Madam, do you remember the content? Let me hear it." Pan You'an suddenly became interested.
"Remember, sir, please be patient, I will recite it to you. The poem says: Liang Dang is a county magistrate whose surname is Hou. He has a heart like a snake and a scorpion and a thick skin. A wild goose will pluck out three hairs, and a man will cut off four ounces of flesh..."
"Forty taels, why is it just four taels? Why not say half a catty and five taels? Besides, how can you cut off human flesh? You can't even cut half a tael!" Xiao Pan said in surprise.
"My lord, you are pretending to be stupid!" The young lady blushed and lowered her head with a smile. "Four Liang refers to men. Men, that thing. Besides, even though it is cutting flesh, it is just a metaphor."
"This kid is probably dead!" Pan You'an said bitterly, "I originally wanted to take care of his illness after returning to Beijing, but now it seems that not killing him is not enough to make the people angry!"
"Can the official kill him? How big of an official is the official? In this case, the official can get rid of the big harm for two people." Miss Wei said happily.
"Xiaosheng used to be a high-ranking official, but now he has no official position and is light-hearted. However, there are people in my court who have the power to kill corrupt officials." Pan You'an explained.
"Has Mr. Lang ever killed anyone?" the young lady asked with her charming eyes wide open.
"Countless murders!" Xiao Pan smiled slightly.
"Oh my God! Mr. Lang turns out to be a murderer!" the young lady shouted.
"Really?" Pan You'an smiled slightly and said, "I am very principled when killing people. Generally, there are three types of people I don't kill."
"What three types of people?"
"Women, old people, mortals."
"Who is a mortal?" The young lady was puzzled.
"Mortals refer to ordinary people."
"I originally wanted to marry a mortal and live my life in peace, but unexpectedly I bumped into some devil in the sky."
"Miss, do you regret it?"
"I don't regret it! As the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, follow the dog; if you marry a woman, carry her around on a pole, and accept your fate! But I have a small condition. Please satisfy your curiosity as a wife."
"Speak!"
"Please sir, tell me your origin."
"This is simple. Let me tell you my name first. My name is Pan Youan."
"Ah, Lang Jun turns out to be a eunuch?"
Pan You'an frowned slightly and said with a smile: "The day before yesterday, I made an oath that if anyone calls me a eunuch in the future, he will be guilty of beheading. I won't be blamed if I don't know. As for whether I am a eunuch or not, you will find out later."
"I just said that Mr. Lang is the devil in the sky. Unfortunately, I was right. Pan You'an is famous. Who in the world doesn't know you?" Miss Wei seemed to be talking to herself, and then said, "Pan Lang
Don’t say any more, Pan You’an’s big name is enough to make me happy for the rest of my life, so don’t talk about anything else!”
The two were newlyweds. You were greedy for my love, and the wedding room was filled with flowers and candles. The next day, Pan Youan just opened his eyes and shouted:
"Come on, hurry up and bring me the boy named Hou!"
The bride was beside him, gently pulling on his arm and complaining in a low voice: "Master, wait a minute, I'm not wearing clothes yet!"
Xiao Pan said: "It's okay, ma'am. You don't know that I have always been impatient, and I usually handle official business regardless of the occasion. Just wait until I kill this man named Hou, and it won't be too late for us to undress and get up."
Upon hearing this, Magistrate Hou hurried over. Before he could enter the door, he hunched over and then fell to his knees with a thud, shouting at the top of his voice:
"Generalissimo, Master Pan, oh no no no, Eunuch Pan, what are your orders to the junior official?"
Pan You'an snorted disdainfully and cursed in his heart: You are so stupid that you don't know the current affairs, and you still expose people's scars when they are about to die. Damn it, it doesn't matter that I am your father-in-law, why can't I kill you! Then he shouted:
"Come here, tie up this man named Hou, take him out and chop him into pieces!"
They said they were coming, but in fact most of them were former servants of the county government. The few servants who came in had just started the morning shift. They didn't know what happened last night. When they heard about it, they thought to themselves, they were the county magistrates yesterday, how could they get under the covers?
If someone with a foreign surname said to him that he would be tied up, he would be tied up. If this foreigner who is said to be some kind of general marshal turns around and walks away the next day, it will not be the unlucky one for them. They did not say that the county magistrate should take charge now.
, so he looked around and did not dare to take action.
Pan You'an was still under the covers and hadn't put on his pants yet. When had his words ever been so worthless? Seeing no movement, Pan You'an suddenly became furious. He sat up shirtless and shouted:
"Have you fucking rebelled against you? I won't listen to you. Do you want me to go down and do it myself?"
At this time, Hou Xunchen was tempted. He guessed: The girl surnamed Pan got angry and killed early in the morning. It must be the Wei girl who said something bad, so this surnamed Pan wanted to kill him. If he wants to survive, he must take the following measures now.
He couldn't stop doing anything. After thinking about it, he jumped up from the ground and shouted loudly to the guards around him:
"Yamen servants, don't you see that this guy lying on the bed is a fake. You guys, please give it to me. I will chop it with knives and beat you to death with sticks. In short, I will reward you heavily. Every time
One hundred taels of silver is not too little for a person, right? If it’s not enough, I can add more!”
I have never seen the county magistrate be so generous! These guys heard that there is such a good thing. One hundred taels of silver can build several houses and marry several wives! Isn’t it just to kill a foreigner who is worse than a piece of shit? With a heavy reward,
Who is the real fool if he doesn't come forward to ask for reward?
Seven or eight guys rushed forward and surrounded them. Pan You'an was at a loss because he was still naked at this time!
