The government servants in Daxia were originally untouchables and their status was not high.
Responsible for all the affairs of the entire yamen such as standing in the hall, arresting people, collecting food, and releasing people into custody.
But after the world was in chaos.
The authority of the government officials seems to have been expanded.
In each of these things, there is a way to make money.
Coupled with the lack of control by the Sanhe County magistrate, these government servants under him became even more bullying.
Although the state is experiencing a major disaster, for them.
With the help of the yamen, life is better than that of gods.
But in recent times.
But it's miserable.
Since several county government carriages were robbed.
Everyone in the entire county government was driven around like dogs.
There are more than 40 official government servants under Mr. Liu in Sanhe County.
Under each official yamen officer, there are three or four white servants, totaling a hundred people.
Sanhe County is not a military-heavy county and is located in a relatively remote area.
Therefore, there is no marching camp in the county.
These hundred and ten people are the entire military force in the county.
After the robbery happened.
These government officials were arranged by the county magistrate to run all over the mountain.
Claiming to kill the bandits who robbed the road.
The government officials are not stupid. They are just on duty, and they are not stupid enough to fight against the bandits.
After leaving the city.
Find a deserted place, take a stroll, and come back when the time is up.
There have been cases of robberies on official roads before, but they have never been robbed by officials.
This time the county magistrate was worried.
On the one hand, it is because the governor will be inspecting this place recently. If he encounters bandits on the road, there is really nothing to say.
On the other hand, the reason was because of the hijacked trucks of grain.
These grains were allocated by the imperial court to provide relief to the victims.
It was also the magistrate of Sanhe County who invited the imperial court with his "sincere love for the people".
But time and again, these grains were robbed by 'bandits'.
This time when I heard that the governor was coming, I quickly bought a lot of grain from Linxian County and pulled it in temporarily to make up the amount. Unexpectedly, I was really robbed this time.
The county magistrate became anxious now.
Inside the restaurant.
Zhao Changsheng and Liu Mang were sitting at a table.
After drinking two ounces of wine.
There were many red pimples on Zhao Changsheng's face.
"I've been really unlucky for the last eight years lately."
"This gang of bandits will not rob us sooner or later. If they insist on coming at this juncture, they will make us miserable."
Zhao Changsheng scratched his face and complained unhappily.
"This bandit is too courageous!"
"You dare to rob the county magistrate's things."
"What did you rob?"
Liu Mang echoed on the side, refilling Zhao Changsheng's wine quickly.
"Of course it's food!"
"But there are only two carts of ore left. These bandits don't know what to buy. They are busy fighting now, so this stuff is in short supply."
"But after one brother died and even the knife was robbed, these bandits are extremely poor!"
Zhao Changsheng took a sip of wine and said.
Liu Mang subconsciously looked at the ring-headed knife that Zhao Changsheng put aside.
I'm really envious.
Thinking that before, we were brothers who lived under the same roof, but now they are prosperous, but I am just like a beggar, I feel very uncomfortable.
For a moment, I forgot to talk to him.
“I don’t know when this kind of horrible life will end!”
"It stands to reason that the Governor should have arrived a long time ago, but he hasn't arrived yet, which really makes people unable to stop."
"Brother Liu, eat! You drink too!"
Zhao Changsheng drank the wine in one gulp and greeted Liu Mang.
Liu Mang said comforting words and followed Zhao Changsheng in cursing the world.
But my heart gradually became happy.
I asked you to find an official position back then and live a comfortable life for a while, but we had a good meal but not a good meal.
Although I am short of food and clothing, I am the biggest in the world.
No one cares.
It's not like you, being managed like a dog all day long.
cut!
I don't mind being asked to serve as an errand!
Liu Mang glanced at the food on the table and stopped being polite. He shook his arms and started eating with enthusiasm.
After all, I don’t know where the next full meal will be.
Full of wine and food.
Zhao Changsheng yelled ‘accounting’!
He took Liu Mang and walked out in a swaggering manner.
Watching Zhao Changsheng leave.
Liu Mang spat quietly.
Think about yourself with nowhere to go.
I was thinking secretly in my heart.
It would be better to go back to Hejian Village. There are still two shabby houses anyway.
Besides, there is a beautiful Su Xiaoyue in the village.
I don’t know if the tubercular young master is dead.
If he dies, he can occupy some happy days. When he has enough fun, he can sell it to Zuihong Mansion for a large sum of money.
Made up my mind.
Liu Mang staggered towards the city gate.
As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw a notice posted on the wall of the city gate, and a group of people were talking around it. Then I realized that the county magistrate was offering a reward of 100 coins for information about the bandits.
Liu Mang thought about the use of one hundred coins in his mind.
He rubbed his dizzy head.
Then he walked towards Hejian Village.
…
Liu Mang's original surname was Li, and he was also a member of the Li clan in Hejian Village.
But because he molested Mrs. Li's concubine, she was deprived of her surname and expelled from the family tree.
So I had no choice but to take the surname of my mother who had been dead for many years.
Liu Mang didn't care about it himself, and even cursed the Li family clan hall, which made his father angry to death and was driven out of the village.
However, Liu Mang himself came back from time to time.
It is said that those who are tough are afraid of those who are stunned, those who are stunned are afraid of those who are violent, those who are violent are afraid of those who risk their lives, those who are desperate are afraid of those who are shameless, and those who are shameless do not want to offend those who are too poor to touch them.
Liu Mang possesses all of these.
Mr. Li and the villagers have nothing to do with him.
I had no choice but to go to the ancestral hall to pay my respects and let this evil son of the Li family die early outside.
But it just happened to be the opposite.
According to Mr. Li's opinion, this Liu Mang might not be able to survive him to death...
When Liu Mang returned to the village.
I haven’t entered the village yet.
Then I saw smoke billowing from the mountain behind.
I thought the back mountain was on fire.
I was so happy that I clapped my hands.
I went back and lay down in my shabby house. The cold bed was freezing.
I simply went out and planned to visit the Zhang family’s old house first.
As a result, when they arrived at the Zhang family's old house, they found that the door was tightly closed. Liu Mang kicked it several times but failed to open it.
I was half-hearted and ready to go back.
As soon as I reached the intersection, I suddenly saw Su Xiaoyue holding a wooden bucket with both hands, struggling to carry water.
