There was a commotion below, and the crowd was full of emotions. But beyond Pang Yu's expectation, everyone was not attacking the prison officials who had embezzled money, but they were unanimously condemning Jiang Guoyong. Jiang Guoyong looked at a loss.
, seems to not understand why he has become an enemy of the people by telling the truth and fighting for labor and food money for the government officials.
The Zhang Changyu that Jiang Guoyong mentioned was the prison clerk. The clerk put the money for the yamen servants' work and food into his pockets, and then issued license tickets to the yamen servants, and asked the yamen servants to go to the countryside to make money on their own. When the yamen servants went down, they would naturally not make enough money.
If you have enough money for work and food, if you spend money to buy cards, you will not only get enough of the capital, but also several times more. In the end, it will be the common people who pay for it.
For example, a fast player like Jiao Guozhao, whose job is to catch criminals and steal, has no chance to go to the countryside. If he wants to go to the countryside to make money, he needs to spend his own money to buy tickets from the household. In the past, the execution house relied on Gu Zhixian
He supported the business of issuing license tickets to grab households' houses. Now that Gu Zhixian has left, it will be time to pay off the debt.
However, it is an unspoken rule recognized by the county government that the labor and food bank can be exchanged for license plates. This is what everyone does, and the officials and government servants in each house can make a profit. Even the county magistrate only takes action on the specific problems of each house when seeking personal revenge.
He dare not directly fight against the rules, otherwise he will offend all the officials and subordinates, and he will not be able to effectively manage his subordinates. Like Jiang Guoyong, he just doesn't follow the rules, but he openly talks about them in order to destroy everyone's jobs.
Woolen cloth.
Seeing this situation, the county magistrate discussed a few words in a low voice with the secret comrade standing behind him, then he was stunned, and after the voice from below became quieter, he said loudly: "Chiang Guo used to deceive Shangguan and was good at issuing cards, but he resisted when he was found guilty.
If someone chases and beats a public official and assigns the crime to someone else, the crime will be increased by one degree and the punishment will be twenty strokes of the cane, and the rest of the execution room will be punished with ten strokes of the cane."
There was a lot of praise from the following people, saying that the county magistrate enforced the law impartially and made wise judgments.
In this way, all the torture room staff were pulled halfway up, and the sticks could not be swung away in the lobby. Two of them were placed directly on the platform. After a slap, the five white buttocks were covered with blood and flesh in a moment, and screams came one after another in the hall.
, but Jiang Guoyong, who had suffered the most, held his tongue and did not say a word.
"Jiang Guoyong is very hard, but it's a pity that he doesn't know how to adapt."
Jiao Guozhao next to him wiped his sweat and sighed in a low voice.
"What's wrong with him?"
"His mother is bedridden, and his brother's family is poor, so he is the only one who takes care of him. When he needs money, he doesn't know how to make money in the yamen. If you ask me, he studied in a private school for several years and lost his brain.
Reading is stupid."
After hearing this, Pang Yu probably knew that Jiang Guoyong had probably read books about sages and sages. His family was backward and he could only work as a government servant. He had not yet adapted to the profession of government service.
Hearing all kinds of howls from above, Pang Yuqi asked: "Does spanking hurt?
I used to be beaten by my father when I was little."
"Second brother, you are still pretending to be wrong with me. You have been looking at the board for a long time and you still don't know.
It's not a big deal if you use a bamboo strip. If you go down with a stick of water and fire, the skin will be bruised and the flesh will be bruised. It will be a minor injury. If it is more severe, the flesh will be crisped by you, and you will suffer from chronic diseases in the legs and feet. If you are more serious, you will hit the waist a few inches, and the internal organs will be injured again.
Who should I go to? What happened to Xu Er the year before last? He died at home after a delay of thirteen days."
"so smart."
Pang Yu's heart trembled. He didn't know that it was very common for county government officials to beat up yamen servants. In the early Ming Dynasty, yamen servants were humble servants. After the whipping method, yamen servants gradually became a profession, but in the eyes of officials, they were still servants. They always wanted to
Just fight.
After the beating, the hall was cleaned up again. The execution room had also offended the county magistrate. At this time, everyone knew that the county magistrate was seeking revenge. Others who had not offended the county magistrate were relieved. Pang Yu had no memory, but only saw the county magistrate.
After the initial nervousness of the Prime Minister's official power, he was now a little excited. There were also many officials and masters around him who were gloating and laughing at the misfortune.
When Jiao Guozhao saw that the county magistrate made no next move, he calmed down for a moment. At this time, he said to himself, "Why did the county magistrate let the torture chamber accuse people by himself?"
Pang Yu snorted and said: "Let the execution room chief point it out himself. The county magistrate knows the chief's confidants. He has to point them out with his own hands before he recognizes them. He specifically targets the execution room's confidants, not the execution room's confidants. The county magistrate
Your Majesty, you won’t fight me yet.”
"What if the torture chamber does not refer to people?"
"Then beat the officials. If the officials have responsibilities, then take them on yourself.
Now he is asked to point out people, but he only beats the people under the execution chamber. The clerk has nothing to do with him. What do you think of those in the execution chamber who were beaten? Who would be willing to hang out with the clerk in the future?
The official has offended all his confidants. From now on, no one in this torture chamber will listen to him. Even in the entire yamen, no one will obey him anymore. This is so powerful."
"Oh I got it."
Jiao Guozhao slapped his forehead, then turned to look at Pang Yu, "No, aren't you Pang Er stupid? I don't even understand, how do you understand?"
"Hmph, your second brother, I know everything."
Jiao Guozhao sneered, "You know everything and you still work as a government servant."
Pang Yu said seriously: "I am a yamen servant now, but I may not be a yamen servant forever. I have been thinking about what career I will do in the future for several days, and I have just decided it today."
"What are you doing!"
"Become an official and be a good official."
Jiao Guozhao couldn't hold it back for a moment and burst out laughing.
He was afraid that he would see him on the stage, so he had to squat down and cover his mouth, smiling until his face turned red and his neck became red. He pointed at Pang Yu and laughed and cursed in a low voice, "Are you an official?
Ouch, you made me laugh so hard!”
Pang Yu rolled her eyes at him, "I'm sick."
Jiao Guozhao was smiling happily when he suddenly heard the county magistrate say again in the hall, "Quick class Zhou Shen, where is Jiao Guozhao?"
"I..." Jiao Guozhao grinned widely, his smile suddenly solidified, and slowly turned into a bitter face... This morning, the morning meeting lasted for more than half an hour, and the county magistrate opened the meeting to avenge himself and beat nearly twenty people.
Most of the boards came from the reception room, execution room, and fast class. There were clerks, Zaoli, and disciples. Even the sweeper who was sweeping the floor was beaten. I don't know how he had the opportunity to offend the county magistrate. Maybe he gave the county a certain amount of money.
Cheng didn't sweep the floor clean.
Fortunately, Pang Yu didn't become the target of the county magistrate. Maybe he was too stupid before and the county magistrate didn't bother to pay attention to him.
But Jiao Guozhao was not so lucky. He was beaten ten times with a stick and dragged out of Yimen.
After the great revenge was avenged, the county magistrate was so satisfied that he stopped sending out errands. He waved his sleeves and retreated. Instead of living in the back hall, he went east back to the county magistrate's office.
Finally, when the drumbeat sounded, everyone was frightened for a long time, and finally knew that the matter was probably over, and they dispersed one after another.
On his first day at work, Pang Yu encountered the county magistrate's killing stick. At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that this idiot had offended the county magistrate before.
After finally retreating safely, Pang Yu followed the crowd out of the ceremony gate. He paused for a moment at the door of Zaoli's room and found that there was no one in Zaoli's room at all. It seemed that everyone was frightened today and had no intention of going to work.
Pang Yu was so happy that he no longer had to face the prisoner's brother-in-law, Wang Dazhuang, the leader of the soap squad.
Pang Yu heard the noise of people outside, and was worried about Jiao Guozha, but also remembered his female helper, so he ran to the eight-character wall regardless of whether he was on duty or not. When he arrived at the gate, he saw a sea of people, three floors inside and three floors outside.
I couldn't help but laugh and curse, and I didn't know what was going on inside.
Pang Yu made a large circle around the crowd, but did not see Zhou Yueru. Hearing another burst of laughter from the crowd, he casually pulled away the two onlookers around him and pushed them into the circle with both hands.
I saw more than a dozen people in Tsing Yi on the ground in the circle. They were all the government officials who were beaten at the beginning. They were wailing on the ground with their bare buttocks. After the beating, these lower-level officials threw their bloody buttocks at the gate of the county government office for public display.
In order to wait for his family to take it back, he actually let the people watch, but it was embarrassing and he was sent to his grandma's house.
Pang Yu circled around looking for Jiao Guozhao, observing the expressions of those who were beaten along the way. Almost everyone looked humble with a hint of cruelty.
The government officials usually oppressed the common people, but at this time, the onlookers who were haters laughed loudly at such a big loss.
It only took a moment to find Jiao Guozhao. Jiao Guozhao usually looked at the five big and three powerful men, but this time he almost fainted after receiving ten sticks. At this time, he was lying on the ground sweating profusely and kept humming.
.
On the contrary, Jiang Guoyong, who was next to him, bit his mouth and said nothing, but his body was shaking like chaff.
Two straight men in black and purple satin were standing next to Jiao Guozha. The man in black was patting Jiao Guozha's face and making fun of him. The other man in purple was teasing Jiang Guoyong. He saw on the ground
Jiang Guoyong was pulling up his trousers himself, and he also ran to drag Jiang Guoyong's trousers down again, pointing at his buttocks and making fun of several of his accomplices nearby.
Jiao Guozhao was in a trance and could not see any embarrassment. However, Jiang Guoyong was lying on the ground with a pale face. He crawled outside with difficulty, trying to leave this extremely humiliating place. After crawling for a short distance, the man in purple stopped him.
In front of him, Jiang Guoyong changed his direction, and the man also changed his position, just in time to block him again, and the people in purple laughed loudly.
Jiang Guoyong gave up his attempt to crawl away and reached out to pull up his trousers again. The man in purple grabbed his hand and laughed and cursed: "What are you pulling on? Didn't you say a few days ago that you were going to sue the Wu family for hiding their land? Why did you end up like this today?"
Look, hey, let everyone take a look."
None of the yamen servants dared to yell at them. Pang Yu's head felt hot. He felt the power of the yamen just yesterday. It was the time when his confidence was bursting.
How could he allow idlers to bully his sworn brothers at the door? He went up and pushed away the man in black who was teasing Jiao Guozha, and cursed, "You damn dare to act wild in the Yamen. Believe it or not, I've got you now."
When the man in purple heard the noise, he turned to face Pang Yu after losing sight of Jiang Guoyong. Several of his accomplices slowly came over with mocking expressions. Not only were they not afraid of the yamen servants, they even spread out to prepare to surround Pang Yu.
At this time, He Xianya appeared on the other side of the circle. When he saw Pang Yu speaking, he quickly turned half a circle and ran to Pang Yu. He quickly pulled Pang Yu aside and smiled at the man in purple, "Mr. Zheng
Brother, don’t be like him. He just had a head injury. If you don’t believe the crazy things he said, look at his head...” The man in purple faced He Xianya’s smiling face coldly, and suddenly slapped him across the face, and there was a snap in the field.
With a crisp sound, He Xianya spun and fell to the ground. He rolled around on the ground, showing agility beyond Pang Yu's imagination, and jumped up to escape from the circle of people.
When Pang Yu saw this, his anger welled up. It was unheard of to hit government workers at the gate of the government office. This was unbearable. He rolled up his sleeves and called to the government officials around him, "If you dare to bully us people in the government, come together and take the money."
Got them!"
None of the many government officials who were watching responded, and instead slowly backed away.
Pang Yu looked at the scene in front of him in surprise. The powerful impression of the government officials he had just established yesterday collapsed. Who are these people? Even the government officials did not dare to provoke them.
The group of people in purple laughed and slowly gathered around. Two of them were tall and thick. It was obvious that they were usually brave and fierce characters. Pang Yu quickly calculated the combat value and faced them with a calm expression.
enemy.
Jiang Guoyong shouted loudly on the ground: "If you have the ability, come to me, don't attack irrelevant others."
Pang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Jiang Guoyong must have misunderstood that Pang Yu was helping him out, and was worried that Pang Yu would cause trouble, so he wanted to take the responsibility himself. He did not explain it at the moment, but faced Jiang Guoyong on the ground.
Thumbs up: "You are loyal!"
Jiang Guoyong raised his head after hearing this. From his perspective, he saw Pang Yu holding his head high and facing five or six villains calmly. He looked unusually tall, as if no force could knock him down.
Coupled with his just help, his whole body seemed to be filled with the light of integrity. Jiang Guoyong felt that he would definitely be able to defeat the evil forces surrounding him and save the suffering government servants at the door.
Under Jiang Guo's expectant gaze, Pang Yu turned around and disappeared into the county government office.
