Meng Huaining's sudden move made Liu a little confused.
"Sir, I'm here to avenge you. Why do you treat me like this?"
Meng Huaining had a cold face and said in a deep voice: "A bold and cunning woman dares to openly bribe an official. What crime should she face?"
Ms. Liu was immediately dumbfounded.
In the past, when someone approached their Cui County Magistrate to do something, they always behaved like this.
Moreover, as long as the gift is strong enough, there is nothing that cannot be done.
Now that the new county magistrate is here, why does this trick not work?
Not only did it not work, but it actually led to him being charged with public bribery?
The storeroom at home had already been completely stolen, and the jade bracelet she was using to give as gifts was just taken off her wrist.
She spent a lot of money to buy this jade bracelet many years ago. If she didn't want to leave a good impression on the county magistrate, she would really be reluctant to give it away.
Right now, the bracelet is in someone else's hand, and he will be convicted for it.
Mrs. Liu suddenly felt aggrieved.
"Sir, you can't treat me like this. I really feel wronged."
Hearing Mrs. Liu's cry of injustice, several officials immediately relaxed their movements and all looked at Meng Huaining, waiting for his signal.
Meng Huaining didn't even look at Mr. Liu, and waved his hand towards several officials.
"Bring people in."
Although the official had been with Cui Xiancheng for a long time and had helped him do some shady activities, he could still see the current situation clearly.
Nowadays, the county magistrate is the largest official in Yuncheng, and depending on the county magistrate's wishes, there is no doubt that Cui County Cheng will be dismissed from his official position. They must correct his position as soon as possible.
Therefore, after Meng Huaining gave the order, the officials pushed Liu into the county government office.
Several maids saw this and wanted to run away, but were stopped by the onlookers.
Seeing that there were no idle officials behind Meng Huaining, He Zhiran took the initiative to grab the two maids by their collars and threw them into the county government office.
Meng Huaining was not idle either. He raised the jade bracelet that the maid had just thrust into his hand to show to the public.
"Everyone, take a look. This is the jade bracelet Liu ordered me to give to me just now. This is evidence of her crime of bribing my official."
This move received a burst of warm applause from the people.
"The sky has eyes, and it has finally sent us a great master from the sky in Yuncheng."
"We, the people of Yuncheng, will be blessed in the future."
"If we have any grievances from now on, we will turn to Mr. Qingtian to make the decision!"
"..."
Meng Huaining was able to gain the recognition of the people on the first day he took office, and he felt happy in his heart.
He waved his hands to the people, and the officials ran out to signal them not to make loud noises in front of the county government office.
Meng Huaining looked at the sky and saw that the official who had been sent out to 'invite' Cui County Cheng had left for almost an hour and had not returned yet, but his wife came to express her grievances.
This had to make Meng Huaining wonder whether Cui Xiancheng was trying to play some dirty trick with him.
While he was thinking, Cui Xian Cheng was carried by several servants to the county government office.
At this time, Cui County Cheng still didn't know what happened.
The moment he saw Meng Huaining, he did not forget to say hello flatteringly.
"Your Excellency, the County Magistrate, just arrived in Yuncheng today. Your Majesty is injured and cannot greet you in person. Please forgive me."
Meng Huaining glanced at Cui County Cheng with contempt.
I saw that his body was tightly wrapped in a brocade quilt, and only his head was exposed to talk to him.
Although there was a hint of flattery in his tone, Meng Huaining caught the flash of disdain in his eyes.
Meng Huaining sneered in his heart: He is already on the verge of death, yet he still dares to be so arrogant...
With a sullen face, he ordered the officials: "Send the person to the court."
When Cui Xiancheng saw his hot face pressed against his cold ass, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
"Sir, my uncle is the prefect of Qingzhou." Now, Cui County Prime Minister had to use his trump card, hoping that Meng Huaining would change his attitude after hearing this.
Qingzhou prefect?
Meng Huaining is no stranger.
When he came to Yuncheng to take office, he happened to pass by Qingzhou, and he has not forgotten what happened at that time.
Magistrate Liu didn't know who he had offended, so he reported him to the capital for accepting bribes, and he has now been dismissed from his official position.
Judging from Cui Xiancheng's appearance, he probably hasn't received the news yet.
And in Meng Huaining's heart, not to mention that Magistrate Liu has been removed from office, even if he is still in office, he will definitely punish officials like Cui Xiancheng severely.
As a parent official, if you cannot eliminate harm for the people, you are not worthy of sitting in this position.
At this moment, when Meng Huaining saw Cui Xiancheng, he felt like he was watching a clown.
He couldn't help but stepped forward and said unhurriedly: "I'm here on my first day in office today, and I have good news to tell you."
Cui Xiancheng thought that Meng Huaining was frightened when he heard him mention his uncle and planned to please him.
"Sir, if you have any good news, tell me quickly and let your subordinates hear it."
Meng Huaining suddenly changed his expression, raised his hand and pushed hard, overturning Cui Xiancheng's stretcher.
"You are so courageous. You don't bow to me when you see me, and you dare to lie down and talk shamelessly. Do you believe that I will punish you for contempt of superiors now?"
Cui Xiancheng was still waiting proudly to hear the good news. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he was lifted off the stretcher.
By coincidence, he happened to land face down, and the injured area came into close contact with the earth.
Cui Xiancheng was so painful that he almost lost his breath.
After a long time, he cried out in pain.
"Ah... I fell to death..."
Meng Huaining got angry and kicked him: "Who gave you the courage to call yourself an official in front of me?"
As he spoke, he came closer and whispered to Cui Xiancheng: "The good news I can tell you is that when I passed through Qingzhou yesterday, I saw with my own eyes that Magistrate Liu had been dismissed by the court for accepting bribes."
Hearing this, Cui Xiancheng was stunned on the spot. He could no longer care about the pain on his body, and his expression became more and more horrified.
"What are you talking about? It's impossible. My uncle can't be dismissed. You must be lying to me."
Meng Huaining didn't bother to explain, and strode towards the Yamen with his hands behind his back.
"No one is allowed to help him. Even if it takes him only one stick of incense, he must climb to the hall for me. Otherwise, he will be served with sticks."
All the officials are masters of the situation. Now that the situation is extremely clear, who will help Cui County Cheng?
Just after Meng Huaining left, several officials came to Cui County Cheng to urge him.
Some people even threatened that if he was slow, he would be beaten with sticks.
Scenes like this have never happened to Cui Xiancheng before. He knew that he could not continue to anger the county magistrate now.
The pain in his lower body was unbearable, and he had no choice but to crawl into the lobby.
Cui Xiancheng had just climbed into the lobby. When he looked up, he saw Mo Jiuye and his wife sitting beside them.
