Chapter 33: Fighting on the streets of Huai County, people rushing to the morning market were talking a lot
In a teahouse, three or five old men gathered together. They were holding tea cups and chatting. Sometimes they laughed, sometimes they sighed with regret.
"Last night there was a fire at the 'Yi Yang Tang' in the 'Yue Xiu Building'. I heard that Boss Li from the 'Li Ji Silk Shop' and Sai Xishi from the 'Yue Xiu Building' were sleeping there naked and choked to death!" Someone started posting!
news
"What a pity! That beautiful Sai Xishi is gone just like that" someone sighed
"Grandma, I was spoiled by that bitch Li Yusheng all the year round!" Someone started to curse. It was both jealousy and pity, or it was nothing at all, just an empty curse.
"Retribution! Damn Li Yusheng, it must be..." This was a jealous curse, followed by a malicious laugh, thinking: "That guy deserves it!"
"Boss, bring me a pot of Biluochun, brew it, and leave it alone! How many guests will I invite to the famous Yuexiu Building today? That's enough for a fucking pot! Don't look at the last name.
Xie is always so aggressive. If it weren't for that person supporting that black waist, he might be the boss of the entertainment industry in Huai County! This man is right, retribution!" Sure enough, some people were very happy.
"Boss Li! The person holding Sai Xishi's body in the 'Yi Yang Tang' is your family. You said so, be careful of being accused of being the gangster who set the fire!" Someone laughed and reminded enthusiastically.
But everyone laughed heartily
"Don't worry, I heard that someone saw it. It was a knight who set the fire." Mr. Li, who was called Boss, laughed and continued, "I'm too lazy to take care of that shit. Our 'Zuiyue Xuan' only picks up literati."
Yashi, who cares about competing with that 'Yuexiu Tower'? We are all brothers! Let's have tea!!"
"No! There seem to be two people, and they even rescued a girl. Oh, the one in 'Yuexiu Tower' seems to be called 'thorn rose'." Someone took a sip of tea and said, "Well, it seems that this matter is still there."
It’s not over!…”
“Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,”Yuexiulou’s” dogs are coming,” someone reminded
"Look, the one who got them all was covered by the master. They all look like dogs, and they are still wearing the uniforms of the yamen servants openly?" Someone else muttered carefully, glanced at the door, lowered his head and drank.
Tea
Sure enough, a few thugs from Yuexiu Tower wearing government officials' clothes hurriedly passed by the door of the tea room. When they were far away, the tea guests who were drinking tea and chatting all spat hard on the ground in unison.
Phlegm, keep gossiping
On another table, a young man wearing a bamboo hat took out a few copper coins from the belt around his waist, lined them up one by one, placed them on the table, and said loudly: "Waiter, check out!"
After saying that, the man stood up hurriedly without waiting for the waiter to come, and chased the thugs from "Yuexiu Tower" at a short distance...
At this time, in the lobby of the county government office, Ke Han scolded Hu Saiying righteously and sternly.
"How dare you talk nonsense and slander the master? Huh, when did he become a member of your 'Yuexiu Tower'? Is it possible that a master of the yamen is so difficult that he has to withdraw the profits of a hotel to support himself? Huh, it is simply a joke.
!" Ke Han's face was full of anger, and the Jingjing was slapping loudly from time to time, "Someone is coming, put this shrew in prison quickly..."
"Wait a minute!" Suddenly, Boss Xie shouted from outside the door, "My lord, wait a minute!"
Ke Han coughed lightly, put down the gavel, glanced at the door, and thought to himself: "Here he is after all."
Boss Xie stepped into the threshold and stood stiffly. Behind him, there were actually three thugs in government uniforms. At this moment, he seemed to be a county magistrate who was visiting privately incognito, coming to investigate. Damn it.
Of - cow!
Ke Han sat down, pretending to be surprised and asked: "Who is coming?"
Boss Xie was very arrogant. He looked at Ke Han coldly, without bowing or kneeling, and asked arrogantly: "My lord, you have such a good memory! Who are you going to imprison?"
Seeing her husband coming, Hu Saiying seemed to have some courage. She moved back a little and hid behind several thugs, refusing to turn around.
Several servants in the hall glanced at Ke Han, expecting him to use his strength.
Uncle Li and the others were all thinking: This time, if they don't step forward, don't expect to have any chance to kill the master! Let alone the prestige. However, since the master has decided to take action, he must be sure of victory.
!The master is going to pull out all the firepower!!
Thinking like this, although the few servants with no skills were afraid of the thugs, they still straightened their backs, but they didn't dare to knock on the sticks and shout "mighty" or something like that.
Ke Han saw this and knew it well. He was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, he picked up the tea cup on the desk, took a slow sip, and asked again and again in a very awesome way: "Who is here? I didn't
I sent someone to pick you up, but why are there government officials from this county following you? Oh, are those government officials from this county? Are you surrendering yourself?..."
"Young officer, stop doing this!" Boss Xie was so angry that he yelled, "Our 'Yuexiu Building' suffered a fire. My wife came to report the crime. You didn't accept it. Instead, you wanted to put the victim in jail. In the end,
What do you want to do?"
"You're roaring in court. You don't look like you're reporting a crime, but you're here to prosecute?" Ke Han, however, was very calm, sitting upright in the court, smiling.
At this time, a circle of people gathered around the yamen gate to watch the fun, just to watch the fun!
For a long time, people have lost confidence in the yamen because of the violent temper of the county magistrate, and even the indifference of right and wrong, and the confusion of right and wrong. Therefore, they would not come to the yamen to solve any problem. Instead, they would go to some respected old patriarchs among the people.
Or seniors can resolve it privately
Therefore, today, "Yuexiu Tower" is called Wei, but it makes people look at it as a surprise.
Most of the onlookers cursed in their hearts.
"Dog bites dog, it's a hairy mouth!"
"Hmph, maybe the interests are unequal and the family is rebelling?!"
"See how these bastards fight? Damn it!"
"It would be better if all the people with donkey days are dead! This will save us from harming others!"
"It is the duty of this county to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of citizens, yes! However, the good-looking Yuexiu Building suffered a fire. This natural and man-made disaster, how come it has become the master's fault and not mine? I ask, when did I become one?
Are you the doorkeeper of Yuexiu Tower?" Ke Han's angry face finally appeared and he asked Boss Xie
The onlookers were startled and laughed, looking forward to the big show.
Someone whispered: "Look, it's pinched!"
"Why do you dare to tell me that someone set the fire on fire? Where is the evidence?" Ke Han continued to get angry and asked in a bachelor's manner, "You are acting so ridiculously, are you afraid that I will be so idle?!"
Ke Han's words really caused a small commotion. Everyone onlookers were surprised and stunned, followed by another round of boos inside and outside the Yamen!
Some people covered their mouths and snickered, talked in low voices, and cursed secretly: "He is indeed a weak official who is both worried and incompetent!"
Suddenly, another "pop" sound was heard, and the gavel sounded again!
"Hu Saiying!" Ke Han shouted, "Can you repeat what you just said?"
The cunning woman who was hiding behind the thugs was as paralyzed as chaff. Of course, Boss Xie didn’t know what his wife said in the lobby. Seeing Hu Saiying in such a situation, it was estimated that nothing good would happen, so he wanted to withdraw. Unfortunately,
At this time, I couldn't help myself. There were so many onlookers that they blocked the yamen inside and outside. Furthermore, the show had just begun, how could we leave so easily?
"Okay, why don't you tell me? How about I repeat it for you? You said that 'Yuexiu Tower' has received a 'thorn rose' in the past few days. Oh, you were afraid that I wouldn't understand, so you specifically explained, 'thorn rose'
' is a special term for 'Yuexiu Tower', which means lady. Well, it's nothing to serve tea and water, so why do you refuse to do it? I'm confused, such a big 'Yuexiu Tower', Huai County
One, well, the salary is high and the conditions are good. Of course this is what you, Hu Saiying, said? For this young lady, you can just do it if you don’t want to do it, and no one is forcing you, right? It doesn’t cost much anyway.
Yes, we are recruiting people from outside, but why did you say that the gangsters could not succeed in robbing people, so you set a fire to your "Yi Yang Tang"? It's not that serious? Neither can that "thorn rose" who refuses to work.
Are you so stupid? He has already left, so why bother with this god? There is no reason at all!" Ke Han deliberately raised his throat to speak, he specifically wanted everyone inside and outside to hear him
Then, "You also said that Mr. He can testify that when your 'Yuexiu Tower' employs workers, he will check it. What does this mean? It is clearly a frame-up and slander! Officials do not engage in business, as has been taught in ancient times! Our Master He is now here
You are still building roads in Taohuawu. How will he feel if he knows that you are so virtuous? Let me ask you, Hu Saiying, you are so messy and arrogant. Isn’t it enough to be put in jail for questioning?..."
"Nonsense!" Boss Xie was so angry that his veins were bleeding. He snorted coldly, turned around and gave Hu Saiying a loud slap in the face, "We bought that 'thorn rose' at a big price!"
Hu Saiying covered her red and swollen face, looked at Boss Xie hopelessly, shook her head hard, and signaled that he could stop talking.
However, Boss Xie yelled like crazy: "I spent a thousand taels, and that's all real money!"
"Oh? Are you buying goods or slaves?" Ke Han asked tentatively.
"I have plenty of money, so I can buy whatever I want! Why do you care about so much, you idiot? Compared to Master He, you are too young! Haha, to tell you the truth, your life won't be too long.
! I’m too lazy to pay attention to you!” Boss Xie’s eyes turned red. He was extremely arrogant and roared at the top of his voice. Then he waved to his thugs and said angrily, “Let’s go!...”
"What a loud tone! Do you think this is a vegetable market? You can come when you want and leave when you want? Humph! You roar in the court and show no discipline; you are morally corrupt and buy and sell people; you act recklessly and falsely accuse the court officials; you secretly
Hiding a murder weapon, allowing your subordinates to pretend to be officials, endangering a party, and wantonly disrupting social order are unpardonable crimes! If I don’t put you in jail today, when will you wait?! Someone is here, tie up this shameless guy!" Ke Han threw it down.
It was just a bamboo stick but no one took the job. Facing a few vicious Xie family thugs, Uncle Li and the other servants really didn’t have the courage.
Seeing that Ke Han was about to make a real move, everyone seemed a little unbelievable. They were silent for only a few seconds, and then there was another commotion.
Because seeing the behavior of the people under the county magistrate is really laughable, let alone flattering.
The common people didn't know that those were servants! They didn't want to get hurt while watching the fierce fight between Ke Han, whom they always called a "dog official", and Boss Xie, so they backed away one after another, and even got out of the way.
The thugs at Yuexiu Tower couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward with their swords drawn, ready to fight Ke Han.
Of course, the brothers are not optimistic about Ke Han's abilities. They only know that the county magistrate in front of them is a big hollow carrot and a showman who cannot withstand threats.
However, they still wanted to take the opportunity to kill this dog official! They had already discussed this before coming to the Yamen.
"Isn't he just a dandy who spent money to buy a county magistrate? Tsk! Killing him is not like slaughtering a piglet? Considering the hatred of the people in Huai County, if he is killed, it will not be a big deal. It is considered
Let's do justice for heaven!" This was what several thugs were thinking, and in full view of everyone, they rushed towards Ke Han with cold eyebrows and cold expressions.
Boss Xie laughed loudly and walked outside with his wife in his arms.
