Chapter 299: County Magistrate Hou commits a crime
The bridal chamber was decorated with candles and red lights. The little eunuch laughed and said:
"Madam, your ex-wife blindly threw the hydrangea to an unsuspecting stranger. If he was a gangster or a pauper, wouldn't you be afraid that he would miss you and miss the important event of your youth?"
Wei Xinmei's face changed color, and she said with a smile: "I don't know, Mr. Lang, I didn't care about that many things at the beginning. I just thought about it. Even if I marry a lame, mute, or a ruffian, it's still better than that damn Hou Xunchen!"
"How can such a thing happen?" Pan You'an pretended to be surprised and said, "Madam, no matter how bad the Hou is, she is still a respected person in the county. When she married, she was the wife of an official. She is always better than those disabled people, street gangsters and the like.
Could it be that my wife thinks he is a little old or ugly?"
"Who cares about being an official? Being ugly and handsome has nothing to do with fate. Old and young are destined to be officials. People don't know it. This man named Hou is an unjust official, does many evil things, preys on the common people, and runs rampant in the countryside. All the people in the village raise their foreheads with their hands and look up to the sky.
Sighing: When will God open his eyes and let a thunder sound in the clear sky, it would be better to kill this Hou Bapi! Even the passing merchants were exploited by him, and he hated him so much that someone sent him a limerick, which was just like this
The benefits of being a county gentleman”
"Madam, do you remember the content? Let me listen to it." Pan Youan suddenly became interested.
"Remember, sir, please be patient. I will recite the poem to you. It says: I am a county magistrate. My surname is Hou. I have a heart like a snake and a scorpion and a thick skin. A wild goose will pluck out three hairs, and a man will cut off four ounces of flesh..."
"Forty taels, why is it exactly four taels? Why not say half a catty or five taels? Besides, how can you cut off human flesh? You can't even cut half a tael!" Xiao Pan said in surprise.
"My lord, you are pretending to be stupid!" The young lady blushed and lowered her head with a smile. "Four Liang refers to men. Men, even though it is a flesh-cutting incident, it is just a metaphor."
"This kid is probably dead!" Pan You'an said angrily, "I originally wanted to take care of his illness after returning to Beijing, but now it seems that not killing him is not enough to make the people angry!"
"Can the official kill him? How old is the official? In this case, the official can get rid of the big harm for two people," Miss Wei said happily
"Xiaosheng used to be an official, but now he has no official position. However, there are people in my court who have the power to kill corrupt officials," Pan Youan explained.
"Has Mr. Lang ever killed anyone?" the young lady asked with wide, charming eyes.
"Countless murders!" Xiao Pan smiled slightly
"Oh my God! Mr. Lang turns out to be a murderer!" the young lady shouted.
"Really?" Pan You'an smiled slightly and said, "I am very principled when killing people. Generally, there are three types of people I don't kill."
"What three types of people?"
"Women, old people, mortals"
"Who are mortals?" The young lady was puzzled.
"Mortals refer to ordinary people"
"I originally wanted to marry a mortal and live my life in peace, but unexpectedly I bumped into some devil in the sky."
"Miss, do you regret it?"
"I don't regret it! As the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, follow the dog; if you marry, carry it on a pole and accept your fate! But I have a small condition. Please satisfy your curiosity about being a wife."
"speak!"
"Please tell me your origin, sir."
"This is simple. Let me tell you my name first. My name is Pan Youan."
"Ah, Lang Jun turns out to be a eunuch?"
Pan You'an frowned slightly and said with a smile: "The day before yesterday, I made an oath that anyone who calls me a eunuch in the future will be guilty of beheading. I don't blame you if you don't know. As for whether I am a eunuch or not, you will find out later."
"I just said that Mr. Lang is the devil in the sky. Unfortunately, I was right. Pan You'an is famous. Who in the world doesn't know you?" Miss Wei seemed to be talking to herself, and then said, "Pan Lang
Don’t say any more, Pan Youan’s big name is enough to make me happy for the rest of my life, so don’t talk about anything else!”
The two were newlyweds, you were greedy for my love, not to mention the wedding room with flowers and candles. The next day, Pan Youan just opened his eyes and shouted:
"Come on, hurry up and bring me the boy named Hou!"
The bride was by her side, gently pulling on his arm and complaining in a low voice: "Master, wait a minute, I'm not wearing clothes yet!"
Xiao Pan said: "It's okay, ma'am. You don't know that I have always been impatient. I usually handle official business regardless of the occasion. Wait until I kill this man named Hou, and it won't be too late for us to undress and get up."
Upon hearing this, Magistrate Hou hurried over. Before he could enter the door, he hunched over, then fell to his knees with a thump, shouting at the top of his voice:
"Generalissimo, Lord Pan, oh no no no, Eunuch Pan, what are your orders to the junior officer?"
Pan You'an snorted disdainfully and cursed in his heart: You are so ignorant of the current affairs, you still expose the scars of a dying person. It doesn't matter if I am your father-in-law, why can't I kill you! Then he shouted:
"Come here, tie up this man named Hou, take him out and chop him into pieces!"
They say they are coming, but in fact most of them are former envoys from the county government. These few servants have just started the morning shift. They don't know what happened last night. I heard that I was the county magistrate yesterday. How can I hear someone get under the covers?
If someone with a foreign surname said he was going to be tied up, he would be tied up. If this foreigner who is said to be some kind of general marshal turns around and walks away the next day, it will not be the unlucky one who is a gang member. He didn't say that the county magistrate should take charge now.
So I looked around and didn't dare to make a move
Pan You'an was still in bed and hadn't put on his pants yet. When had his words ever been so worthless? When he saw no movement, he suddenly became furious. He sat up shirtless and shouted:
"Have you really rebelled against you guys? I don't listen to you. Do you want me to go down and do it myself?"
At this time, Hou Xunchen was tempted. He guessed: The girl surnamed Pan got angry and killed early in the morning. It must be the girl surnamed Wei who said something bad, so the girl surnamed Pan wanted to kill him. If he wanted to survive, what is his plan now?
He had to work hard. After thinking about it, he jumped up from the ground and shouted loudly to the guards around him:
"Yamen servants, don't you see that this guy lying on the bed is a fake? You guys, hurry up and get this guy, I'll chop him up with knives and beat him to death with sticks. In short, it's me, master."
There are many rewards. One hundred taels of silver per person is not a small amount. If it is not enough, I can add another ten or eight taels!"
I have never seen the county magistrate be so generous! These guys heard that there is such a good thing. One hundred taels of silver can build several houses and marry several wives! Isn't it just to kill a foreigner who is worse than a piece of shit? Is there such a good thing?
Under a heavy reward, who is really a fool if he doesn't come forward to ask for the reward? And you can also take a look at the naked bride with beautiful eyes.
After hearing this, seven or eight guys rushed forward and surrounded Pan You'anli at a loss, because at this time he was still naked!
