Chapter VIII The County Government Distinguishes Qu Zhi
Chapter 8 The county government debates the merits
When it got light, Mr. Deng, who was waiting outside, became impatient and wanted to shout, but Mr. Leng stopped him.
Ying'er and everyone else also had a sleepless night in the house, and she felt a little uneasy. She didn't know why no one came after setting off the sounding arrows for so long. She secretly wondered: Could it be that the person arranged by the prince was not nearby, or didn't watch?
That's really bad. I'm afraid if I set off the sounding arrows now, the villains outside won't just sit idly by.
Fu'er woke up and turned over. Seeing a room full of people crowded here, he became curious and asked, "Mom, why am I here?"
After all, Sister-in-law Wang is a woman. When she saw the situation in front of her and was asked by the child, she burst into tears. Brother Wang sat in silence all night and felt irritable, so he shouted loudly: "Why are you crying!" Sister-in-law Wang was asked by Brother Wang.
As soon as he roared, his mourning stopped immediately, and he could only hold back his silent sobs.
Ying'er glanced at Brother Wang and said to him: "Brother Wang, it's us who have caused trouble for you. Don't be angry. I'll go to the government office with them and explain the matter clearly. Then nothing will happen. You still
Just take good care of the children with Sister Wang." After that, he looked at Jingxian and asked, "Uncle Master, shall we go out now? Let them go to the government office. I think the government office will always be able to distinguish right from wrong."
Jingxian didn't have any good ideas. After hearing what Ying'er said, he nodded and agreed, and then told all the disciples to pack their things and go out together.
** took out a sounding arrow, quietly handed it to Brother Wang, and said: "Brother Wang, you will set this off after we leave later. If anyone comes to ask, you can tell them that we went to the town's Yamen and asked them to
Go to the rescue.”
Brother Wang took it in his hand, looked at it, asked how to cast it, and hid it in his arms.
Jingxian led everyone out of the house. When he saw a group of people outside still surrounding the house, he walked in front and left the yard. Mr. Leng only looked at Ying'er, but he saw his dagger at a glance.
Ji WenFeng was holding it, and he glared at Ji WenFeng fiercely, thinking about how to get the sword back.
Although Mr. Deng was fat, he was quite scheming. He counted the number of people carefully, nodded, and said to Mr. Leng: "Everyone is here, let's escort them to the town."
Mr. Leng glanced at him, then got off his horse, led his horse to Ying'er, and said, "Qingmao, get on your horse, this journey will take some time."
** and Meimei hurriedly stopped in front, waiting for Young Master Leng with angry eyes. Young Master Leng didn't take it seriously and handed the horse's rein to the two of them. ** hesitated for a moment, but took it.
Mr. Leng turned around and walked to a servant on horseback. The servant quickly dismounted his horse, and Mr. Leng immediately got on the horse and looked at everyone.
**Looking at Ying'er, Ying'er shook her head and said: "I am here to beg for alms and practice. My uncle and senior sister can just walk." Seeing that Ying'er refused to get on the horse, the others also shook their heads.**
He took the horse and followed Ying'er.
Mr. Deng called everyone to set off together. After walking a few steps, he turned back and gave some instructions to the servants around him.
After walking for about an hour, they could see a town in front of them. As they got closer, they saw a boundary marker with the name Shahe County on it. As they walked, they secretly looked around, but there was nothing there.
I didn't see anyone waiting for me. The people on the road felt like they were seeing the god of plague when they saw Mr. Deng, and they all stayed away from him.
After entering the town and passing the Yamen, Mr. Deng did not stop and kept walking forward. Looking at the Yamen approaching, Ying'er really stopped, pointed with her finger and said: "This is the Yamen, we are here!"
Mr. Deng was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Ah, you are such a beauty, you are so beautiful in life, you actually know the government officials." Just after saying a few words, he saw Mr. Leng's expression was not kind, so he quickly stopped.
Mr. Leng looked at Ying'er and asked: "The government office is not open yet. It seems that there are no officials here. How about going to Deng's Mansion. Then you follow me to Ningyan Mountain, and the others will let them go."
!" After saying that, Mr. Leng looked at Mr. Deng and asked: "Mr. Deng, do you think so?"
Mr. Deng smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, Mr. Leng said it, so just do it!"
While everyone was talking, the yamen opened with a squeaking sound, and a police officer dressed as a yamen servant stretched out and walked out. He saw a group of people in front of him, including men and monks. Before he knew it, they were...
He was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes, and then saw Mr. Deng, and hurriedly ran up and greeted: "Hey, Mr. Deng, where are you going so early in the morning? Why is there such a big battle?"
Mr. Deng obviously knew this police officer, so he snorted and said: "Boss Wang, you got up early today. What's wrong? Do you know that I have something to do? Open the door and invite me in or what?"
The Wang Tou accompanied Xing Xing and said: "Master Deng, what you said is that if you want to do something, just do it. We will only take care of it if you don't care. Just say so!"
Mr. Deng looked at him and asked, "Has your master gotten up? Otherwise, I will do business here!"
The king nodded and said: "Master is in a good mood today. He got up early. Why don't you ask us to open the door?"
Mr. Deng turned to look at Mr. Leng. Mr. Leng had no expression on his face. He was looking at Ying'er and everyone else, then he smiled and said, "Then go to this yamen and ask. Let's see what the county yamen master decides."
After Mr. Deng finished speaking, he waved his hand, took the lead in dismounting his horse, and walked into the Yamen. Jingxian followed with everyone behind him and walked in.
The county government office is a courtyard with two entrances. In front is the lobby. Several servants were cleaning the courtyard. When they saw Mr. Deng coming in with a large number of people, they nodded and gave way. Mr. Deng went directly into the lobby. There was a man sitting behind the table in the hall.
The county magistrate, in his thirties, fair and fair, was looking at the documents on the desk. Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, he raised his head and looked outside. As soon as Mr. Deng entered the door, he shouted: "Master Huang, what are you doing?"
See you less often!"
County Magistrate Huang smiled, came out from behind the desk and said, "Master Deng, the gust of wind has brought you here. Where are you going to do business with so many people this early in the morning?!"
Mr. Deng walked up to County Magistrate Huang carelessly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm doing something for you today. I went to Qianying Village to catch a bunch of nuns who were cheating and cheating, and I brought them to you to punish them."
He said and pointed back.
Naturally, County Magistrate Huang also saw Jingxian and the others following them, as well as Young Master Leng and Ji Wenfa. County Magistrate Huang asked Young Master Deng: "Master Deng, what do you think should be done about these things? Can't we just do it directly?"
Are you still using it here?"
Mr. Deng glared and said: "Huang Daren, what you said makes no sense. You are the local official. If there are such things as cheating and theft, of course I will come to you!"
Magistrate Huang nodded, looked at the people standing in the lobby, and then said to Wang Tou who followed him: "Ascend to the court for trial!"
Wang Tou hurriedly ran out, greeted the guards in the courtyard, and went to beat the Shengtang drum outside the yamen. After a while, more than a dozen yamen were standing on both sides of the lobby, holding water and fire sticks, holding out their chests and abdomen, raising their heads and faces.
The county magistrate sat back at the table, and a middle-aged man who looked like a master stood beside the table. Wang Tou moved a few chairs so that Mr. Deng, Mr. Leng and Mr. Ji could not sit down. Then he rushed Jingxian and others to another room.
side.
Seeing that everyone was quiet, County Magistrate Huang glanced at the master secretly, and then he was startled and asked: "Those women standing in front of the hall, where are you from? Why did you come to my Shahe County to cheat? I don't know where this place is."
It’s at the foot of Wutai Mountain, the holy land of Buddhism?!”
When Jingxian heard Huang County Magistrate's question, he stood up and replied: "Sir, we are bhikshuni who practice at Tanqing Nunnery in Wutai Mountain. We went to Xinzhou to beg for alms under the order of our master. When we arrived here, we took help from a family.
.This Mr. Deng is tyrannical and rude. He said nonsense that we are cheaters, and he has also entangled a group of thugs to commit murders and hurt people. I hope you will make a clear decision and punish these thugs for their misbehavior!"
County Magistrate Huang said "Oh" and turned to look at Mr. Deng. Mr. Deng coughed and said: "These thieves still dare to talk nonsense in front of you. I think you should punish them severely first."
After a while, each person slaps her ten times, and they will tell the truth!"
County Magistrate Huang glanced at the master from the corner of his eye, and the master said softly: "What Mr. Deng said is absolutely true. People are bitter insects and cannot be defeated unless they are beaten!"
Mr. Deng was sitting aside and heard it. He laughed and said, "Master is getting better and better at doing things!"
Huang County Magistrate took out one to collect the lottery and ordered: "Drag all these women out, and each of them will play ten big boards!" Wang Tou got the order, picked up the lottery, and waved his hands to command about a dozen servants, pushing
He followed Jingxian and others out. When Mr. Leng saw that Ying'er was about to be pushed out, he stood up and said, "There is a Qingmao here who was abducted. I want to take her back, but I am rude to her!"
Magistrate Huang nodded and said to Wang Tou: "If everyone else is beaten, don't beat Qingmao. Just let her see how evil people are punished!"
Seeing that Magistrate Huang had made such an arrangement, Mr. Leng sat down again. Jingxian was about to argue, but was pulled by the policeman, and everyone followed the Yamen servant out of the lobby in confusion.
When the master saw that all the girls had gone out, he asked: "Master Deng, these two look strange to each other, why don't you introduce them to them?"
Mr. Deng shook his big fat head, looked at Mr. Leng and said, "This is Mr. Leng, the young master of Ningyan Mountain; this is Ji Wenfa, the strange knight of Saibei."
After hearing this, the master raised his hands to greet Mr. Leng, and Ji was unable to greet him. Mr. Leng also clasped his fists coldly, and Ji Wuwei also clasped his fists in return. Qi Yi asked: "Ningyan Mountain is the place where the cold-blooded demon lord is. Could this Mr. Leng be the place?"
Is he the descendant of the cold-blooded devil?!"
When Mr. Leng asked, he said "Oh" with some curiosity, and then replied: "I didn't expect that the master actually knows my uncle. Yes, I am Leng Renjie, the direct nephew of the cold-blooded demon lord of Ningyan Mountain!"
Master laughed, walked slowly towards Mr. Leng, and said: "I'm sorry, I also like some martial arts, so I want to know a little about the masters in the world. I don't know what Mr. Leng wants when he comes to my Shahe County.
Woolen cloth?"
Leng Renjie was stunned for a moment, then looked at the master with suspicion, and asked coldly: "Why are you asking this? Is this something that a small county government like you can handle?"
The master looked back at Magistrate Huang and asked, "Sir, do you think I should take care of it?" The magistrate Huang looked angry, stood up and said, "Master, how dare you treat Master Deng's guests?"
You're rude, I think you are really shameless!" After saying that, Magistrate Huang stood up, turned around the screen behind him, and went out from behind.
As soon as Magistrate Huang left, a sturdy young man walked in from outside. He laughed at the master and said, "Now you can close the door and beat the dog!"
